The Emperor smiled again, "Indeed, now that you are an emperor, you should know the reason behind the Heavenly Calamity!"
Both the Sword Emperor and the Blade Emperor nodded, offering no objection.
After all, the truth about the great calamity has already been discovered by Lan Hua, and it cannot be hidden from the Emperor no matter what.
The emperor's divine sense is so powerful that it cannot conceal anything.
The Emperor said, "We emperors launch this great calamity in order to accumulate enough power to ascend to the throne."
"Emperor Cheng?"
Lan Hua narrowed her eyes and asked, "Can the power refined from the flesh and blood of celestial beings help a ruler become an emperor?"
The already raging anger burned even more intensely.
"Do you really think that you can become an emperor with this power? How many celestial beings would you have to harm to achieve that?"
Have you ever thought about the dead?
"If they knew that their arduous ascension was merely to become a force within the cauldron, a stepping stone for your path to becoming emperors, how desperate and tragic would they be?"
The Sword Emperor sneered, "I said it was their honor!"
His sneer was tinged with disdain and utter indifference.
But in Lan Hua's eyes, there were so many things that were hateful, detestable, and abhorrent.
Lan Hua was furious.
"Then you will pay the price for your actions!"
Lan Hua unleashed a palm strike, sending a blade of energy straight toward the Emperor of the Owls. Though only a hundred feet long, it possessed the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
The Emperor nodded, clasped his hands together, and then parried the blade's energy.
It seemed relaxed, but in reality, it was extremely shocking.
"Such formidable strength! Is this boy truly the new Emperor?"
The Emperor placed his hands behind his back, his hands still trembling slightly, but he forced himself to remain calm and resumed his slight smile.
"Emperor Lan, you alone, do you think you can take on the three of us?"
Lan Hua sneered, "Even if there are ten thousand men, I will go alone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-colored beam of light shot into the sky from his body, and the originally dim and dull top of the heavens became magnificent and grand.
That was the eruption of the emperor's power.
"The culprit deserves to die!"
The three, including the Emperor Xiaohuang, paled in surprise, feeling unprecedented pressure.
The newly crowned emperor before them possessed strength surpassing that of anyone else present.
A strange light flashed in the Sword Emperor's eyes; it was an expression of excitement.
As a swordsman emperor, when encountering a strong opponent, he is filled with nothing but fighting spirit.
A golden longsword appeared, its hilt shaped like a phoenix's head, and its guard resembling a pair of phoenix wings, making it look quite extraordinary.
As soon as the immortal sword was drawn, countless sword beams burst forth, transforming into a massive sword beam that pierced towards Lan Hua.
The Emperor of the Owls and the Emperor of the Blades remained still, awaiting Lan Hua's further performance.
Lan Hua flashed to the edge of the top of the Nine Heavens, and Yue Hua drew her bow fully, unleashing the move of clearing a path with ten thousand arrows.
Thousands of arrows coalesced into a single arrow, shooting towards the incoming sword light.
boom!
The invisible arrow shattered the sword's edge and shot straight at the Sword Emperor's true form, but a blade aura sliced through the void, severing the invisible arrow in half.
The Blade Emperor intervened and saved the Sword Emperor at the crucial moment.
The latter frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction showing in his eyes.
"Knife Emperor, who gave you permission to make a move?"
The Sword Emperor snorted, "I saved you, and now I've found fault with it?"
The Sword Emperor snorted coldly, "Why should I need your help?"
He said it was easy, but in his heart he admired Lan Hua's strength.
After all, he had the advantage in weaponry; the Phoenix Sword he was using was a celestial weapon.
Even so, Lan Hua still managed to break through his initial attack with a single arrow.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that Lan Hua did not back down, the Emperor of the Three Sovereigns planned to suppress him together, since the latter had not yet made a move with the Qiankun Bowl.
Just then, Zi Yue appeared beside Lan Hua, her long black hair and flowing skirt dancing together, making her look extremely elegant.
"Little Hua, what brings us to these three again? Are they here to steal the Qiankun Bowl?"
Lan Hua shook her head. "No, they were the ones who orchestrated the great calamity. Those lost celestial beings were all refined by them and turned into piles of bones!"
Zi Yue was taken aback, then said coldly, "You launched a great calamity and harmed your fellow cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, you deserve to die!"
Just as the battle between the emperors was about to break out, several figures appeared at the top of the nine heavens. Lan Hua recognized two of them; they were Emperor Zhu and Emperor Dan.
As for the remaining four emperors, although their auras were different, Lan Hua was able to make some guesses about them.
"If my calculations are correct, the four of you are the Evil Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Monster Emperor, and the Poison Emperor, right?"
Lan Hua said calmly.
Danhuang came to Lanhua's side and said, "Lanhua, you guessed right, it's them."
Although Lan Hua is a member of the Pill God Palace, he has now become an emperor, so naturally he cannot be addressed by his name directly.
This also shows the Emperor Dan's respect for Lan Hua.
Lan Hua glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Palace Master, are you all here to mediate?"
Danhuang smiled and said, "More or less. There aren't many emperors left in the Heavenly Domain. More than half of them have appeared at the top of the Nine Heavens."
If you continue your life-or-death struggle, it will only increase the losses of the Heavenly Realm!
Lan Hua did not understand what Dan Huang meant, but insisted, "Palace Master, these three emperors launched the Great Calamity of the Heavenly Domain, causing countless celestial beings to perish."
Shouldn't they pay for this blood debt? So many innocent celestial beings died tragically; shouldn't justice be served for them?
Upon hearing this, the three, including the Emperor Xiaohuang, maintained their smiles, seemingly fearless.
Seeing the expressions on the three people's faces, Lan Hua already knew the gist of it; these emperors had already conspired together.
Even all the other emperors in the Heavenly Realm were their accomplices.
Danhuang patted Lanhua on the shoulder, signaling her to calm down, and then said:
"Emperor Lan, we naturally know the truth about the Heavenly Calamity, but have you ever wondered why we didn't stop it?"
Lan Hua snorted, "Is it because they want to use the great calamity to seize the throne that you will support them?"
"Or are you saying you'll also get a share of the profits?"
This is Lan Hua's guess.
Such inhumane destruction could prevent the emperors from intervening in only one possibility: they had been promised benefits.
Emperor Dan shook his head. "That's not true!"
"It's for the future of both the heavens and the human realm!"
Lan Jia frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
"The second level of the Heavenly Domain has the source of the mist and an extremely powerful Emperor-level expert. Emperor Dantian ascended to the second level and never returned."
Lan Hua nodded. "I know that!"
The Pill Emperor continued, "The fate of the Pill Emperor is unknown, and he may have already perished. The source of the mist is about to invade the Heavenly Domain. We urgently need an Emperor-level expert to guard the Heavenly Domain."
Once the Heavenly Realm falls, the three thousand lower realms will also fall!
Lan Hua frowned and asked, "Is the situation in the Heavenly Domain really that critical?"
Emperor Xiaohuang nodded and said, "That's right. Emperor Danhuang is being conservative. I've always believed that Emperor Dantian has already perished. They just don't want to believe it."
"How do you know?" Lan Hua asked.
"On the second level of the Heavenly Realm, there is a Great Wall of Flames set up by the Heavenly Emperor Dan to block the strange mist."
Although the Heavenly Emperor's avatar continued fighting, even through the Great Wall of Flames, one could sense his power waning and his life force extinguished!
"According to our prediction, it is likely that in less than ten thousand years, the Emperor Realm experts will forcefully break through the barrier, and the passage to the second level will definitely not be able to stop them."
Lan Hua was greatly alarmed and asked, "Isn't the passage sealed?"
The Emperor sneered, "What kind of seal could possibly stop an Emperor-level expert?"
