Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
While Sect Master Luo and the Human Emperor were battling other half-step Divine Emperors, Sect Master Nie was naturally not idle either.
Those who fought against Sect Leader Nie included Minghu, Cangyuan, the Lord of the Star Palace, and the Leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect.
These five individuals, despite having just advanced from the peak of God-King to the half-step God-Emperor realm, possess considerable strength.
Like Ao Chen, Pangolin Beast, Yan Zhi, and others.
They are not only powerful in their own cultivation and strength, but also have a rich foundation.
He himself also possesses many divine artifacts.
However, when facing a human race half-step god-emperor, he felt utterly powerless.
The combination of the Dragon Transformation Artifact and the Chaos Domain instantly created a vast difference in their previously relatively equal strength.
This was something they had never anticipated.
Swoosh! Boom! Sizzle!
Several perfect rules rushed towards them.
Endless flames burned, terrifying mist corroded, dark green poisonous rules spread, and sharp blades slashed...
They filled the area around the five members of the Nether Tiger, making them impossible to defend against.
Click!
Endless blades of light fell, their sharp attacks slashing at numerous divine artifacts, causing many defensive artifacts to crack under the strain.
In less than half a breath, large fragments of the divine artifact were scattered in all directions.
then.
The rules of fire, corrosion, and poison followed closely behind, surging towards the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape in a swarm, engulfing them in an instant.
"roar!"
"hold head high!"
"Waaah..."
Even those who had reached the level of a half-step Divine Emperor couldn't help but let out cries of agony under the terrifying four perfect rules.
They were engulfed by the rules, their bodies scorched by flames, their flesh and blood, as well as their eye sockets, were filled with scorching flames.
From a distance, they looked exactly like five beings with the talent of fire.
Those unaware of the truth might assume they have cultivated some kind of fire-attribute technique.
But the sight of the flesh and blood on the five bodies being constantly corroded, then festering and falling off sent chills down the spines of countless living beings.
"Awoo..."
"Hiss..."
The screams of the five half-step Divine Emperors echoed through the sky, and their miserable appearance seemed even more horrific.
Simply because.
In just a breath or two, most of their flesh and blood had been dissolved by the rules of fire, corrosion, and poison.
Many bones are already visible to the naked eye.
Thick blood plasma flowed from the bones, but under the influence of the rules, it quickly corroded into pus, which then slid off the skeleton.
Immediately afterwards.
The three rules continue to erode the bones.
Compared to the relatively good defenses provided by the rules of swords, knives, and spears, the rules of fire, corrosion, and poison are much harder to resist.
Many other offensive rules, even if one were to physically withstand them, could be resisted to some extent if one's physical body was strong. Even if one was seriously injured and lost the ability to fight, one would not be in such a miserable state as one is now.
But these three rules are different; they are virtually impenetrable, easily penetrating even the pores of living beings.
This is truly impossible to guard against.
With defensive divine powers ineffective, even half-step Divine Emperor level experts like the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape would find it difficult to defend against such a terrifying offensive of rules.
"Roar! Sect Leader Nie, show mercy! We were deceived by Ao Chen and Tianyu Pavilion. Stop!"
In the end, Minghu couldn't hold on any longer and begged for mercy.
They were no longer as arrogant as before, and looked extremely miserable.
Not only has most of its skin and flesh fallen off, but its internal organs have also been severely damaged. It can be said that the Nether Tiger has lost nearly half of its fighting power.
Even more frightening is...
These three rules are not only applied to the physical body, but also to its soul, which is constantly attacked by them.
It was only because the power of the rules was greatly depleted when its physical body was destroyed that its soul was not destroyed.
otherwise.
Any perfect rule is difficult to resist with its divine soul power.
Not only did the Nether Tiger beg for mercy, but the Azure Ape, the Lord of the Star Palace, and the Leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect also spoke up one after another.
"Sect Leader Nie, please be lenient when you can. We know we were wrong, and we hope that Sect Leader Nie will spare our lives for the sake of our past friendship. We are willing to serve the human race like cattle and horses."
"Sect Leader Nie... no, Sect Leader Lu, spare us! Although we chose to cooperate with Ao Chen and Tianyu Pavilion, we did not cause any harm to the human race!"
"Sect Master Lu, spare my life! Sect Master Lu can mark my soul with a enslavement mark, and I will never resist!"
"Spare me!"
At this moment, the five half-step Divine Emperor powerhouses had already abandoned their dignity as powerful figures and begged for forgiveness.
However.
Faced with their pleas for mercy, neither Sect Master Nie nor Lu Tao showed any change in expression, remaining as indifferent and ruthless as before.
Clearly, they had only one thought when dealing with these demons: to kill them!
This caused the five half-step God Emperors to feel extremely regretful.
While feeling regret, they couldn't help but blame the Alliance of Races and the Heavenly Pavilion.
Without the communication between these two parties, they would not have ended up in such a predicament.
They would rather live in ignorance than die in such a stifling manner.
Although the human race will likely eliminate dissidents after ruling the desolate region, making it impossible for the demon race to catch up with them, the outcome is still better than death and extermination.
But it's too late to say anything now.
The reason for this is that they chose the wrong side.
Although this was also due to their extreme trust in the God-Emperor level formation, they never imagined that Lu Tao could refine thousands of rule-based divine artifacts, and that each one was so terrifying.
Moreover, these rules can be used through formations, making them comparable to the Divine Emperor's Formation.
wrong!
It's not just comparable, it's more like surpassing.
After all, that long dragon of rules had not only shattered the golden net of the Divine Emperor's formation, but also destroyed the divine artifacts and shields of many powerful figures, causing injuries and even deaths to many of them.
If they could have guessed these things, how could they possibly have chosen to betray them?
Even if they are ostracized and suppressed by humans in the future, at least they will still be alive.
at this time.
The five half-step Divine Emperor powerhouses grew angrier the more they thought about it. Gradually, as they felt their injuries worsening and their lives coming to an end, they could no longer hold back and began to curse loudly.
However, their curses were not directed at the human race and Lu Tao, but at Ao Chen and Tianyu Pavilion.
"Ao Chen, you bastard! You're sending me your grandfather's message! Did I dig up your ancestor's grave? Why are you trying to harm me like this!"
"Fuck your mother! I was perfectly fine in the Star Palace, and you had to threaten me! Ao Chen, why don't you go to hell?!"
...
"The trash from Tianyu Pavilion, all they do all day is steal chickens and dogs, committing all sorts of evil deeds, and they even dragged me down with them, they deserve to die!"
"Zhang Lan, even if I fall into the netherworld, I curse you to a terrible death!"
...
The earth-shattering curses echoed throughout the realm, causing powerful figures like Ao Chen, Ao Yu, and Zhang Lan to turn pale with frost.
If the timing weren't so bad, they would have loved to wipe these guys out.
at the same time.
Various foul curses also rang out from another battlefield.
They are in league with the Nether Tiger, the Azure Ape, and others. After the deaths of Lord Cui and the Demon Bear, there are still nine of these traitors left.
Sect Master Nie fought five opponents, while another powerful figure from the Xuanming Sect dealt with the remaining four.
"Ao Chen, you big scoundrel! Everything in the desolate region is thanks to you. Even if you die, you will not be forgiven for your crimes!"
"The countless demons who perished in my desolate land will surely transform into vengeful ghosts, ensuring that your True Dragon Clan will never be able to rise again!"
"Ao Chen deserves to die! Tianyu Pavilion should be destroyed!"
"The Tianyu Pavilion is a bunch of rats, they have no skills whatsoever, they're only fit to hide in the shadows and cause trouble. Lu Tao, kill them all, wipe out the Tianyu Pavilion and make them disappear from the wasteland!"
"Lu Tao, you won't get away with this either, hahaha..."
"Lu Tao, don't be so smug. You can't leave the Desolate Region. You will grow old and die there, and you will never be able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. Hahaha..."
"The wasteland is a cage, and no one can escape, hahaha..."
The powerful members of Minghu, Cangyuan, and their group had all broken through their defenses.
They discovered that, compared to Ao Chen, Ao Yu, and Turtle Elder, the human race's strongmen all used swords, axes, and spears to attack and kill, and even if they killed those guys, they at least died with more dignity.
But when dealing with these traitors, they chose an even more cruel method.
Fire, corrosion, poison, desire, madness, resentment... and so on.
These rules not only break them physically, but also wear them down mentally—it's a double blow.
This is evident.
How much the human race hates these traitors.
In fact, regardless of race, beings hate traitors more than enemies.
"So noisy!"
Sect Master Nie snorted coldly.
He enjoyed seeing these powerful demons and monsters break down, especially when they cursed Ao Chen and Tianyu Pavilion, but he couldn't tolerate these guys insulting Lu Tao.
Lu Tao has led the human race to unprecedented heights, and this is just the beginning.
He didn't know how far humanity would go in the future.
But he knew that as long as Lu Tao didn't die, it wasn't impossible for the human race to not only rule the desolate region, but also to leave the desolate region and dominate the god realm.
How can such an existence be allowed to be insulted by these dying creatures?
Even if Lu Tao himself didn't care, as a powerful human, he subconsciously chose to protect him.
As Sect Master Nie coldly snorted, he unleashed two more perfect rules, blasting them towards the five already severely injured half-step Divine Emperors.
Click!
In an instant, the skeleton of the Star Palace Master was blown to pieces, and bone fragments flew everywhere.
The physical bodies of half-step Divine Emperors are incredibly powerful; even their bone fragments can be considered excellent materials for refining weapons. As they scatter, they grazed the bodies of many Heavenly Gods and Divine Lords.
With just that gentle touch, their bodies were mutilated and rendered incapable of fighting.
Those with bad luck perished entirely.
However, Sect Leader Nie and the others did not pay attention to any of this.
puff!
As Sect Master Nie unleashed his power, the already severely injured internal organs of the Star Palace Master exploded, and black blood flowed down like a celestial river.
The next moment.
Sect Master Nie then collected his severely damaged dantian and soul sea.
"town!"
Then, without waiting for the Star Palace Master's soul to make any move, Sect Master Nie directly used the Soul Suppression Technique, sealing and storing the soul of the Palace Master after his futile struggle.
Then he turned and charged toward the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect.
Looking at Sect Leader Nie's charging figure, the leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect was somewhat dazed and sighed with regret, "Nie Ting, over the years, you and I have been close friends. I never thought I would perish at your hands!"
Sect Leader Nie remained silent for a moment before saying indifferently, "This is your own choice!"
"Yes, it was my own choice!"
The leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect smiled bitterly, his expression quite complex.
He glanced at Sect Leader Nie with some envy, and then, as Sect Leader Nie approached him, he immediately self-destructed.
Boom!
The self-destruction of a half-step Divine Emperor was extremely terrifying.
Even Sect Master Nie, who possessed the Dragon Transformation Artifact, dared not rashly take the hit head-on.
but.
These half-step God Emperors had already been severely injured by Lu Tao's nine dragons of rules. Now, after being attacked by the power of rules, their physical bodies were all in ruins. Even if they self-destructed, their power would be several times weaker than when they were at their peak.
Sect Leader Nie could have withstood the impact of the self-destruction while still under the influence of the Dragon Transformation Bell.
"town!"
at the same time.
While resisting the impact of the self-destruction, Sect Leader Nie did not forget to use the Soul Suppression Technique.
These half-step God Emperors are either the lords of their clans, the founders of major merchant guilds, or the leaders of major sects. Their memories are an absolute treasure for the human race.
Don't even mention that Lu Tao gave them instructions.
Even without orders, if there were an opportunity to seal their souls, neither the Human Emperor, Sect Master Luo, nor Sect Master Nie would miss it.
Sealing one of them means that the human race can gain many benefits from them.
Cultivation techniques, formations, pill formulas, secrets of the desolate region, and so on—it has everything.
Humans don't lack these things, but they also don't think they have too many.
Buzz!
As the Soul-Suppressing Mantra was cast, an invisible force entered the soul of the Crimson Cloud Sect Leader.
The leader of the Crimson Cloud Sect, who had intended to self-destruct with both his physical body and soul, paused slightly before he could do so. He tried several times in a row, but was unable to succeed in self-destructing.
He couldn't help but give a bitter laugh. "Nie Ting, won't you even grant me the wish to self-destruct?"
"As the leader of a religion, you should be mentally prepared for this."
Sect Master Nie shook his head, and then, amidst the bitter expression on the face of the Crimson Cloud Sect Leader, he instantly seized the extremely damaged soul that had been destroyed by the self-destruction of his own body, quickly sealed it, and threw it into the small world.
Then.
Sect Master Nie charged at another half-step Divine Emperor.
He followed the same method and sealed the soul of the powerful figure amidst the latter's futile struggle.
Unfortunately, it made the same choice as the leader of the Crimson Cloud Cult: to self-destruct its physical body.
It failed to allow Sect Master Nie to obtain its dantian and soul sea.
In response to this.
Although Sect Leader Nie felt regret, he didn't have any other feelings.
Lu Tao had mentioned this matter before setting off, summarizing it in just four words: "No need to force it!"
After successively slaying three half-step Divine Emperors and sealing their divine souls, Sect Master Nie turned his head again to look at the remaining Nether Tiger and Azure Ape.
"Hehe, I never thought I, the Nether Tiger, would die so ignominiously!"
"Alas, perhaps this is fate!"
"Yes, the Desolate Region has been like a cage for countless years. It's not easy for a prodigy to have the opportunity to leave the Desolate Region, but we made such an absurd choice. I can only say... it's all fate!"
"Goodbye, Brother Tiger!"
"Goodbye, Brother Ape!"
Despite the circumstances, the Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape chatted casually as if they were not afraid at all. Then, with their minds in sync, they chose to self-destruct.
Boom!
Their bodies exploded with tremendous force, hurtling towards each other.
But before the self-destruction.
Their souls had already broken free from their bodies and were moving toward each other.
turn out to be.
After discovering that Sect Master Nie could prevent the soul of a half-step Divine Emperor from self-destructing, they actually planned to use the power of the opponent's physical self-destruction to destroy their own souls.
and.
As they approached, they also used their own spiritual techniques to attack their own souls.
He simply didn't want his soul to fall into the hands of Sect Master Nie.
It has to be said, that's ruthless and clever.
But Sect Master Nie wouldn't just stand by and watch their souls be completely erased.
call out!
Sect Master Nie used all his speed to rush to the two in an instant, with the Dragon Transformation Bell still on his back. Then, with a look of triumph on their faces, he quickly sealed their shattered souls.
Boom!
Before Sect Master Nie could even fling their souls into the small world, two terrifying self-destructive blasts slammed into the Dragon Transformation Bell.
Bang bang bang!
The Dragon Transformation Bell was completely engulfed by the two self-destructive forces, like a lone boat being constantly battered by raging waves.
What the Dark Tiger and the Azure Ape were unwilling to accept was...
Originally, a single physical self-destruction would have been enough to send the Dragon Transformation Bell flying, leaving Sect Master Nie in a rather disheveled state, and even injured.
At this moment, under the clash of the two physical self-destruction forces, the Dragon Transformation Bell, despite its continuous roaring and swaying, remained in one position.
It was never blown away at all.
Sect Leader Nie's body remained floating inside the Dragon Transformation Bell, without moving an inch.
Not to mention getting injured!
Sect Master Nie looked at the astonished expressions on Minghu and Cangyuan's faces with a smile, and said with feigned regret, "I'm sorry to disappoint you!"
"Disappointed my ass, Nie Ting! You're such a liar! Why don't you just die?!"
"roar!"
Amidst the angry curses of the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape, Sect Master Nie tossed their souls into the small world, then turned to look elsewhere.
In the other battlefields, the results were quite good.
Of the three half-step God Emperors who originally defected with the Nether Tiger and the Azure Ape, only three are still alive.
Four of the half-step God Emperors of Tianyu Pavilion have already died.
The situation was similar for Sect Master Luo and the Human Emperor, who had slain many formidable enemies.
Meanwhile, Lu Tao, leading a group of disciples from the Immortal Sect, was also fighting against several half-step Divine Emperors...
