"Wishful thinking!" The Azure Emperor sensed their meaning and couldn't help but sneer.

Unless Willow God, Little Tower, and Butcher attain Quasi-Immortal Emperor status on the spot, he remains as steady as Mount Tai.

In fact, if it weren't for the World Dao Ancestor's divine power, which dragged his soul and required him to divert at least 30% of his energy to resist, these five people would have died long ago if he had been at his peak!

“Perfect, I’ll kill you all and devour you to provide provisions for my advance.”

"Heh, Emperor Light Immortal King, you've grasped a wisp of the Daoist essence of the Emperor Realm, you're qualified to be my food."

"After I've killed you all, I'll go and help the Old Man of Annihilation and Emperor Hong to trap and kill the World Dao Ancestor!"

The Azure Emperor's eyes were icy cold. The bone imprint enlarged, like a canopy covering the void. Then, the bone imprint pressed down.

At the same time, the Azure Emperor wielded the Bone Ruler, which was as powerful as a sword or spear, and was unmatched. With a casual swing, he severed the imperial aura of the Five Kings, making it truly difficult to resist.

Among the four emperors, the Cang Emperor, who was the last to attain enlightenment, should be ranked last.

However, he frequently interacted with the Three Emperors, had eaten the food of Quasi-Immortal Emperors and Emperor Light Immortal Kings, and even had the experience of closely studying the Corpse Immortal Emperor. To be honest, his cultivation level was far beyond that of ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

"I'll lead the way!" Little Tower said in a serious tone. He was originally a broken Emperor Tower that fell into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths on the other side of the Boundary Sea. After experiencing many eras, he finally returned to the realm of immortals. Later, he went deep into the no-man's land and, together with Willow God, passed through the Primordial Gate and entered the Boundary Sea again. He had an opportunity and reached the level of Emperor Light Immortal King, possessing two or three tenths of the power he had at his peak.

Now, with the addition of the remnants of the Emperor's Fallen Ruler's bones, its foundation has been strengthened, and its offensive and defensive capabilities have been enhanced...

If we're talking about the five kings, who could withstand more of the Azure Emperor's deadly attacks head-on? It would undoubtedly be Little Tower! The other four, after all, didn't have Little Tower's fate.

Even though Liu Shen obtained the incomplete Emperor Fire, no matter how much of an ancient ancestral spirit she was, she was still only an Immortal King.

Unlike the small tower, which was once a quasi-Immortal Emperor level object and is of extraordinary nature.

"Boom." The little tower was bathed in celestial light and divine radiance, braving the imperial might to confront the Azure Emperor head-on.

"A mere remnant, nothing more than a firefly, yet it dares to rival the bright moon?" The Azure Emperor sneered, striking the small tower with his bone ruler, causing it to tremble violently and new cracks to appear.

Even with such results, the Azure Emperor was not satisfied.

Logically speaking, since he used his own imperial weapon, he should have destroyed the damaged tower in one blow.

You should know that even when the Emperor was at his peak, he still managed to severely injure him!

"That world, both real and illusory, has become a constraint for me..."

Looking up at the Void Realm and the Niwan Palace World, the Azure Emperor's expression was very somber.

No wonder that person was revered as the "Ancestor of the World," he truly possessed extraordinary abilities that were astonishing.

Currently, he can only exert about 70% of his strength, making it difficult for him to easily overwhelm the five Emperor Light Immortal Kings!

"Whoosh." Just as the little tower was disregarding its own losses and directly entangled with the Azure Emperor, the Willow Goddess attacked. Her fair jade hand waved, and countless green shadows surged. Willow branches filled the sky, yet they also carried a kind of firelight, which was incomprehensible.

The interaction of wood and fire amplifies the power of the Willow God's magic.

"A mere trifle." The Azure Emperor scoffed. With such meager skills, he dared to aspire to the Emperor Realm?

With a flick of his finger, the bone imprint flew down, crushing countless willow branches, extinguishing the flames, and causing the Willow God to cough up blood on the spot.

However, the little tower and the willow god had taken up most of the remaining 70% of the Azure Emperor's magic power. The bone ruler and bone imprint, which were quasi-immortal emperor artifacts, were also held back by the two of them, which gave the butcher a perfect opportunity!

Even those who sold counterfeit medicine and raised chickens gained insights during the epic battle, advancing their cultivation and unleashing their own wondrous techniques. The divine essence of immortal medicine and the Dao traces of immortal birds all flowed, illuminating the heavens!

The Azure Emperor also had to use about 10% of his magical power to resist the supernatural abilities of these two.

In that case, what essence would the Azure Emperor have left? At most, ten percent of his magical power!

The four heroes—Little Tower, Willow God, the fake medicine seller, and the chicken farmer—fighted desperately to create space for themselves to make their move, but the butcher would never miss an opportunity!

"Die!" The butcher's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he drew his bow and arrow, gathering boundless energy.

"Snap!" Finally, an arrow was shot out, unstoppable. The Cang Emperor's energy was only slightly blocked and was quickly pierced through.

Finally, the Azure Emperor's supreme physique was struck by the Butcher's divine arrow, leaving a gash from which imperial blood splattered!

For the first time since the arrival of the Five Kings, the Azure Emperor has been directly injured!

Instantly, their spirits were greatly lifted. So what if he's a Quasi-Immortal Emperor? He's not invincible!

However, what happened next made the five kings' hearts sink again.

“Excellent! I have never experienced being overthrown before.”

As the Azure Emperor spoke in a chilling tone, wisps of black mist emerged from his body, instantly dissolving the divine arrow and turning it into ashes.

Meanwhile, black patterns began to appear on the Cang Emperor's pure white and holy imperial artifact, carrying an ominous meaning.

Having observed the Corpse Immortal Emperor, he finally made no attempt to conceal his gains and fully utilized them.

There was a sense of decadence and filth in the world.

"Darkness? We came here to wipe out the darkness!" Little Tower shouted, the remnants of the Emperor's Path glowing, the Emperor's might becoming increasingly concentrated, almost undeniably real.

The willow spirit, the butcher, the fake medicine seller, and the chicken farmer all stood firm and fearless, joining forces to strike.

Thanks to the divine power of the World Dao Ancestor, and also because of the legacy left by the Emperor of Fallen...

Willow God and Little Pagoda have both reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Light Immortal King realm. The Butcher has also gained some insight and is no less capable than the two. Even the fake medicine seller and chicken farmer have made some progress in their cultivation.

With their combined strength, they could definitely compete with ordinary Quasi-Immortal Emperors!

Although the Azure Emperor was powerful, the restrictions of the two worlds weakened his combat strength. Even with the use of the black mist, it was difficult for him to kill the Five Kings.

"Boom..." Thus, the battlefield fell into a stalemate, with both sides fighting fiercely, blood splattering, and it was difficult to determine the victor for a time.

Meanwhile, the battle between Shi Hao and Yu Di was also reaching a fever pitch.

"Clang!" The Great Luo Sword Embryo parried the Emperor-Slaying Spear. That weapon, which had once pierced the brow of the Emperor Fallen Ruler, could not break through the Great Luo Sword Embryo's defense, nor could it leave a single scar.

"This ominous artifact is indeed a product of the Emperor Realm!" Emperor Yu stared at it, somewhat tempted, yet also wary.

If I'm not mistaken, the unexplained demise of the Corpse Immortal Emperor is likely related to the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Even the Celestial Emperor couldn't withstand it, and the Old Man of Annihilation was wary of it. What virtue or ability does he have to take charge?

In the end, Emperor Yu abandoned his greed and decided to bypass the Great Luo Sword Embryo and kill Shi Hao!

"Actually, I don't need to take action. In a few hundred thousand years, or at most a few hundred million years, you will naturally perish," the Feather Emperor said indifferently. "We dare not provoke the curse of ominous artifacts. Why are you unharmed? It's just that the time is not yet right."

Shi Hao did not answer. Thanks to the World Dao Ancestor's explanation, his understanding of this ominous sword was even deeper than that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The so-called ominous sign is simply a lack of power.

If he had advanced to the Emperor Realm before the curse took effect, what would he have to fear?

Although it was difficult, Shi Hao would not back down once he had decided to take possession of the sword.

After all, where else could one find such a fine sword?

"Swoosh!" Shi Hao unleashed the Great Luo Sword Embryo, its sword energy spreading out in all directions.

Several figures, generated by the "Great Law of Other Transformation," also surrounded and attacked Emperor Yu.

His self-created divine abilities are indeed extraordinary, but the requirements for fighting a quasi-immortal emperor are extremely high.

The transformations of Immortal Kings and True Immortals are not allowed to participate; at the very least, one must be an Emperor Light Immortal King!

Coincidentally, Shi Hao was familiar with several of them.

"We could try that Heavenly Emperor from the era of the Fall of Emperors," Shi Hao thought to himself.

He had returned to the era of the fallen emperor and sensed the majesty of that Heavenly Emperor from afar. Now, having witnessed the broken bones and lingering flames... Shi Hao felt that there was a certain hope that he could recreate it.

As expected, when Shi Hao activated his ultimate technique, a majestic emperor appeared.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Yu's expression turned cold: "Dead phantoms are like scabies."

Shi Hao, in his transformed form as the Emperor of Fall, had a calm and composed expression, deep eyes, and with a flick of his finger, endless divine fire erupted and boiled forth.

The next second, he flipped his left hand, and a phantom imperial tower was sent flying.

A portion of the Feather Emperor's energy was forced to intercept this person, resulting in a fierce clash with deafening sounds.

Aside from the World Dao Ancestor he transformed into, the Emperor Luo Sovereign he transformed into is the most powerful!

In addition, there are the willow spirit, the small pagoda, the butcher, the fake medicine seller, the chicken farmer, and the burial master...

In an instant, a full 70-80% of the Feather Emperor's magical power was dispersed!

Shi Hao's true form directly faced only a little over 20%.

All I can say is that the "Great Dharma of Other-Transformation" is so extraordinary that it is simply the greatest martial art of all time!

"Whoosh." Shi Hao's sword intent was sharp, slicing through space and disrupting time.

He also unleashed the Ten Fierce Treasures Techniques, combining them into one powerful attack.

"Swoosh." In an instant, Yu Di's physical body was injured by Shi Hao, and blood flowed freely.

Bathed in the Emperor's blood, Shi Hao became both god and demon, and was further moved by the "Great Law of Other Transformation," as if he had seen the other side of the Emperor's path.

"Hmm?" Emperor Yu's pupils contracted, his heart filled with murderous intent.

In his duel with him, Shi Hao, as the Emperor Light Immortal King, actually gained the upper hand, which was already an astonishing achievement. As a result, his opponent wanted to break through the King level and become an Emperor.

"Am I your stepping stone? Only others are worthy of being my stepping stones!"

The Feather Emperor roared, and black energy erupted. The pair of sacred wings on his back were also dripping with black mist.

In his hand, the Emperor-Slaying Spear leaped with joy, eager to drink the blood of a powerful god who had advanced to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm!

"Go." Emperor Yu infused his essence, and the Emperor-Slaying Spear flew out of his hand with the speed of thunder.

"Whoosh!" The Emperor-Slaying Spear surged with blood-red light, incomparably alluring, and its supreme ferocity enveloped Shi Hao, disturbing his mind.

"【A Smile While Plucking a Flower】!" This Buddhist ultimate technique was taught to Shi Hao by the World Dao Ancestor a long time ago, and he mastered it. Now, when he used it, he firmly guarded his Dao heart and was not affected by the Emperor-Slaying Spear at all.

On the contrary, the artistic conception of plucking flowers, the spread of the glazed Buddha light, also wiped away a lot of the blood light and reduced the power of the Emperor-Slaying Spear.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Hao used many sword techniques, such as the "Cao Zi Sword Technique", "Pacifying Chaos Sword Technique", and "Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe", through the Great Luo Sword Embryo, which were extremely powerful.

"Thump." The Emperor-Slaying Spear was thwarted, and the sword embryo, which had been poking at it, actually managed to crack the weapon!

It seems that with Shi Hao's breakthrough, the power of the Great Luo Sword Embryo is also increasing.

"How is this possible?!" Emperor Yu was shocked. Even he, the master of the Emperor-Slaying Spear, was secretly wary of its ferocity. Shi Hao was still advancing in the process and had not yet truly become an emperor. Why...?

Or perhaps it's because of an ominous object...

Emperor Yu speculated that perhaps both factors were at play.

But now is not the time to get to the bottom of things; the important thing is to stop Shi Hao!

"Kill!!" Emperor Yu roared, employing every means at his disposal, combining the Emperor-Slaying Spear to launch a fierce attack on Shi Hao!

While breaking through to a higher realm, Shi Hao used the Great Luo Sword Embryo to defend against his enemies. Fortunately, the figures he transformed into still existed, which bought him time.

"Roar!" Just then, a head of the Nine Nether Beast in the distance lunged at Shi Hao and tried to devour him.

Shi Hao noticed, but instead of diverting his attention to defense, he focused all his energy on fighting against the Feather Emperor!

He believed that even if the World Ancestor were to fight two against one, he would be fully capable of restraining the World Destroyer and the Hong Emperor.

Indeed, Cao Ya made a hand seal with one hand, and the swirling energy of reincarnation transformed the Nine Nether Hound's devouring power, dissolving it into nothingness.

"Damn it, this is bad!"

The purple-gold crown on Hongdi's head had been shattered by Cao Ya, with only half remaining. Its protective power had long since plummeted.

His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in blood, and his body was riddled with cuts and gashes.

The Nine Nether Hound beside him wasn't much better off, because the World Dao Ancestor's divine powers were mostly used to deal with the World Destroyer Elder, so he was under even greater pressure!

"If that Emperor Light Immortal King really breaks through the King realm and becomes an Emperor... our situation will only get worse!" Emperor Hong was greatly alarmed and found it unbelievable.

The performances of the other five Emperor Light Immortal Kings were impressive, but still within an acceptable range.

However, the world's Dao Ancestor, Huang, was a person whose character and behavior were simply beyond imagination!

Especially considering that these two people both have backgrounds in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, just like the Old Man Who Destroys the World.

Could it be that there are some secrets of the Celestial Emperor in that great world?

Emperor Hong couldn't figure it out, nor did he have time to think about it. His most pressing concern was how to interrupt Shi Hao's breakthrough!

However, with the World Dao Ancestor by his side, he couldn't afford to be distracted. If he wasn't careful, he would be beaten to a pulp by the World Dao Ancestor!

The same applies to the Old Man Who Destroys the World; even the slightest bit of his magical power was intercepted by the World Ancestor.

As for the Azure Emperor… the Hong Emperor glanced at him, feeling greatly dissatisfied.

As a quasi-Immortal Emperor, he was actually held back by five Emperor Light Immortal Kings...

Among those five, there was no super prodigy like Huang!

"There's no other way but to fight it out." The old man's tone returned to calm, yet carried an unspoken mystery.

"Hmm." Emperor Hong nodded heavily, knowing that this was a critical moment, and if he didn't risk his life, his fate would be dire.

"Buzz." Suddenly, the Old Man of Annihilation transformed into a human form, still a withered old man, but behind him was a colossal creature, the true form of the Nine Nether Hound, with nine heads and nine tails, vast and boundless!

The next second, the true form of the deity and the human body merged into one, with wisps of black mist swirling around, shattering the mortal world.

"Fight!!" Emperor Hong also reached the pinnacle of his power, his purple aura now tinged with black.

Even with Cao Ya's overall combat strength, he dared not be careless in the face of the two quasi-immortal emperors fighting so fiercely.

"Rumble!!" All kinds of laws and rules manifested, flattening this world.

As the myriad cycles of reincarnation continue, even the black mist is either isolated or annihilated.

"This is how it can be done..."

With a slight thought, Cao Ya unleashed profound techniques, forming layers upon layers of light, divine radiance spreading out, to bombard the World-Destroying Elder and the Hong Emperor.

One should press on with one's might, but the momentum will wane with each attempt, and exhaust it completely with each subsequent one.

Those two emperors, at the height of their power, should use the principles of water, fire, wind, thunder, life, and death to resist them.

Finally, he used body-refining techniques, the path of reincarnation, and swordsmanship to suppress them!
