"Wait a little longer!" Fang Ping replied calmly, sensing the King of Chaos's impatience.
At the same time, he no longer avoided the topic, turned his head, and directly observed the Southern Emperor. His gaze pierced through hundreds of miles of void. Due to the chasm, he could only vaguely see the Southern Emperor's figure, his giant hammer raised to the sky, and the Great Dao pressing down on this world.
"As expected of an emperor, truly formidable!" Fang Ping thought to himself in admiration.
Of course, his murderous intent grew stronger.
Once these emperors are freed, how can the Three Realms not be thrown into chaos? No matter how powerful a Heavenly King is, he is no match for an emperor!
"The Southern Emperor needs to suppress the turmoil in the Origin Land and disperse his forces to fight against those huge rifts. Although he has now recovered a lot of power, the stability of the Origin Land is also related to his life and fortune. He dares not and cannot recover all his power!"
Zhang Tao calmly analyzed the situation via telepathy:
"If he does that before actually discovering the enemy, he will undoubtedly offend all the other emperors! Because without the Southern Emperor to share the burden, the pressure on the other emperors will increase dramatically!"
"The Southern Emperor has been trapped here for eight thousand years; he couldn't possibly have that kind of resolve!"
"Just you wait, the Southern Emperor will be devoured by the rift. That will be our chance!"
After hearing this, everyone adjusted their mindset, gazed at the Southern Emperor in the distance, and waited patiently.
The Southern Emperor stood in the sky, and with a sweep of his giant hammer, the void collapsed, revealing his supreme divine might as an emperor.
However, the backlash from the source soon followed.
boom……
The void trembled violently, and a huge crack suddenly appeared beneath the Southern Emperor's feet. This crack extended in all directions, piercing through the heavens and the earth!
It stretches for hundreds of miles!
The Southern Emperor groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face darkening.
This is the flaw of the Origin Land, and also the reason why the Emperor was trapped there.
If all the emperors flee, the source land will likely collapse in an instant, leading to the collapse and complete destruction of the Three Realms!
At that time, all living beings, including emperors, will perish.
However, this loophole was mainly created by the Emperor.
Because the emperor was too powerful, he extracted too much power from the seed, causing the energy between heaven and earth to become unbalanced, which led to this crisis of world destruction.
Even the Heavenly King, even if he breaks through the eighth or ninth level, cannot compare to the Emperor!
Besides, a ruler who reaps the rewards of his people cannot simply expect them to lay low and await capture.
We must fight to the death!
Buzz buzz buzz~~~
Cracks crisscrossed and spread in all directions. The Southern Emperor's body trembled slightly, and his face turned pale and then blue.
The widening of the cracks in the source area also caused him considerable harm.
After all, this seventh heaven was the one he guarded, and his imperial Dao fruit was also hidden here.
Since one can attain enlightenment, there must be a corresponding Dao fruit that belongs only to that individual.
Of course, other emperors who obtain it can use its Dao Fruit to fill the gaps in their Origin Land, allowing them to escape and reducing the restrictions imposed on them by the Origin Land.
The Western Emperor had been planning this all along.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of everyone, the Western Emperor's wishful thinking was destined to fail.
"Brother Dao, aren't you coming out yet? Do you really want me to completely release the suppressed source rift and attract those other fellow Daoists? Heh, then I will be blamed and incur the full hostility of the emperors, and the crisis will be even greater in the years to come! But, do you think your situation... will be better than mine?" The Southern Emperor sneered, trying to persuade the hidden figure to show himself by appealing to his emotions and reason.
But everyone remained calm and didn't utter a sound.
Crack!
Suddenly, the Southern Emperor's eyes hardened, and he truly relaxed his suppression of the crack, withdrawing his power.
Suddenly, the turmoil in the source land, which had been gradually calming down, intensified, catching the emperors who had been calming down off guard. The cracks widened, and the backlash came, causing their blood to surge and making them feel uncomfortable.
"Southern Emperor, what are you doing? Have you gone mad?!" the emperors roared.
"Where am I in danger?" the Southern Emperor's clone whispered.
"Danger? What danger?" the Divine Emperor asked, frowning, but a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The emperors' avatars, filled with resentment, all looked over.
If the Southern Emperor doesn't provide a perfect explanation, he will become dangerous today, even if he wasn't in danger to begin with!
"I feel... no, I discovered..." The Southern Emperor's clone began to speak softly, but suddenly seemed to have discovered something, his expression changed, and before he could finish speaking, his whole body vanished with a bang.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing this, the expressions of all the emperors changed in unison.
"Western Emperor, Beast Emperor, you are in the Eighth Heaven and the Sixth Heaven respectively. Southern Emperor, who is closest to the Seventh Heaven, go and see what has happened!" Dou Tian Emperor said repeatedly, his ominous premonition growing stronger.
"I understand," the Western Emperor and the Beast Emperor said in unison.
If the Southern Emperor gets close to them, and something happens to him, won't one of them be next?
Since their lives and fortunes were at stake, the Western Emperor and the Beast Emperor were naturally extremely concerned.
Immediately, the Western Emperor's clone and the Beast Emperor's clone closed their eyes, focusing only on maintaining basic power to suppress the cracks.
"What exactly happened in the Seventh Heaven? What kind of danger did the Southern Emperor encounter?"
"Was it one of us who secretly left the realm he was in charge of and infiltrated the seventh heaven to ambush the Southern Emperor, hoping to use his Dao Fruit to escape? Or was it a powerful figure from the outside world who specially infiltrated the Origin Land to ambush us?"
"If it really is Cao Ya Daozu..."
The avatars of the emperors all looked quite grim, their brows furrowed, various thoughts flashing through their minds, but they could only wait for a reply from the Western Emperor or the Beast Emperor.
There was no other way; the world where their true bodies resided was not close to that of the Southern Emperor. If they were to force their way to the Seventh Heaven, they would undoubtedly have to pass through the territory of other people, which would naturally arouse that person's vigilance.
Are you here to support the Southern Emperor, or are you here for my Dao Fruit?
This is impossible to explain!
There's no way to defend myself!
Because deep down, they might have had such thoughts.
Therefore, to avoid any potential conflict, they could only suppress their anxiety and wait for news from the Western Emperor and the Beast Emperor.
The eighth heaven.
The Western Emperor's true form suddenly opened his eyes, scanned the deathly silent void, and pondered:
"I've figured out the easier way to break through the seventh heaven of the Southern Emperor compared to my eighth heaven over the past eight thousand years. Hehe, I don't care whether the Southern Emperor lives or dies. Anyone who dares to attack the Southern Emperor can attack me too! I don't want to die! I'm not as powerful as the God Emperor or the Fighting Emperor."
"Furthermore, what if the Southern Emperor orchestrated this whole thing to kill me or the Beast Emperor and use our Dao Fruits to fill the gaps? Although the Southern Emperor may not have such a plan, who can say for sure? A slight misstep could mean death! I don't want to die!"
"As long as I guard those weak points, I can immediately detect anyone coming up, and then have my clone notify the God Emperor and the Fighting Emperor to come and support me."
"The eighth heaven is so vast that it's unlikely that the unknown villain will be able to find me in a short time."
"Anyway, with that Beast King around, he'll definitely go to the Seventh Heaven to take a look. It's such a dangerous thing to inquire about the Southern Emperor, so let him go. I'm not getting involved."
The Western Emperor muttered to himself, flicking his fingers repeatedly. Strands of divine power drifted out, setting up defenses at the weak points he had detected between the two realms to guard against those with malicious intent.
Then, he completely disappeared, without any trace of his presence. The entire Eighth Heaven seemed like a complete death zone!
As for his performance in front of the emperors' avatars, only a fool would believe it!
Calling him a coward is fine, as long as he can save his life, the Western Emperor will accept it.
