Chapter 1304 The Gathering of the True Supremes
"You go!" Cao Ya did not retreat at the beginning, but since the immortals seemed to be slightly weaker, he let them retreat first.
Then came the old Wangs, followed by Duan De, Hei Huang, Jiu Liu San, and Hua Hua. Cao Ya, despite his considerable strength, was ranked alongside the old Wangs.
But in the face of the truly supreme being, they are no different from ants, easily destroyed with a flick of the finger, posing no threat whatsoever.
The only thing that is truly fearless is the peerless divine weapon left behind by the ancient Heavenly Emperor!
Previously, they had not appeared, and even after the near-Supreme Ones had perished and all the monsters had died, they hesitated about whether to show themselves. However, it was precisely because of this concern that they watched as the entire army of the Soul River creatures was wiped out.
For them, the River of Souls is eternal. As time goes by, the number of monsters will always increase, but their own quasi-immortal emperor cultivation level is not so easy to reproduce.
Only when the immortals were about to return to the mortal realm did they finally lose their composure and reveal themselves.
"It seems you have only a broken bell and a tattered spear left."
From the ultimate land of the Soul River, a cold voice rang out. A quasi-Immortal Emperor was reviving, his supreme imperial roar disrupting time, shattering the rules and order, and causing the void to tremble, almost to the point of destruction!
"If you have the guts, jump out and I'll kill you right now!" The Black Emperor showed no weakness, raising the broken bell high. Its waves rippled outwards, protecting the immortals from being obliterated by the power of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Ruan Jin shook his head, his eyes devoid of any bitterness. Even without the fusion of his divided soul, he had still fallen from the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
"Who is he?" Bai Huang stared at the figure and asked in a deep voice, but he had a bad feeling.
Cao Ya and Hua Hua patted Bai Huang on the shoulder, their words implying everything.
The Black Emperor pondered, “The heavens are filled with chaos and cruelty. To be able to sit idly by and watch the fluctuations of the long river of time and the demise of countless ages, even if there is a definite demise, is to take it all seriously. This is a mindset of absolute arrogance!”
Among the heroes of the ancient times, Gu Zhitian had no nickname, but this was the Great Divine Silkworm, not my Divine Emperor!
We managed to launch a few attacks, but then our energy and vitality waned.
The reason for not being resurrected is twofold: firstly, to lower the guard of the strange races, and secondly, to hide this reflected form to avoid exposing their identities.
The Monkey King, Li Da, Tai Yi, Qi Zhen, and other immortals all sighed and felt ashamed.
"So, we are the livestock, like pigs and dogs!" Ruan Jin shouted, which angered Bai Huang, who bared his teeth at me, opened his blood-red mouth, and was about to bite me.
"It should be!" the White Emperor said in a deep voice, unusually serious, for this matter concerned the lives of all the immortals, which was why I was so relaxed.
However, the Black Emperor suspected that the First Emperor was secretly working on something. If the situation of the Emperor's corpse could not be sensed and the immortals were truly in danger, the Emperor's corpse would reappear in a normal state, striking down and protecting the immortals as they left!
But even if the Black Emperor is exceptionally talented, he should still be aware of my existence!
However, our relaxed mood was also largely relieved by our own efforts.
"Clang!!!" Bai Huang held the broken bell and struck it, the bell waves flowing and protecting everyone.
"That's because this guy's words were too trivial." Cao Ya said sheepishly, very unwilling. He was certain that he was in his prime, and those people could be dealt with by himself, but if he joined forces with Bai Huang, they would definitely be able to match him.
It requires the appearance of the true body to manipulate the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor, which would still threaten the immortals, and Duan De would need to counter it.
Of course, everyone wants to confront the foreshadowing left by the Supreme Emperor of the Heavens. They all hope to get the first move, involve the Heavenly Emperor, bear the least responsibility, and allow others to wipe out the immortals of the mortal realm and reap the rich rewards.
Like me, Bai Huang, Cao Ya, and Hua Hua all showed no surprise or doubt on their faces!
Immediately, a thought struck me: Could it be the God Emperor?
"Yes, but we can be careful. The strange race, if not as powerful as Ruan Jinhao, is monitoring all realms!"
Black Emperor pondered and felt that White Emperor's actions just gave Little Emperor You Shi a reason to secretly control his main body. As long as he was careful not to show too much intelligence, he should be able to make Duan Dehua completely alert!
"We need to slow down! It's very likely that this is just a phantom or projection, a trick to lure you into unleashing your trump card... As long as Ruan Jin isn't in your hands, even if it's shattered, it'll be enough to deter the real Youxia!"
It's truly shameful. This is an imperial weapon that fought to the death. In its previous life, this junior was strong enough to hold up a piece of the sky!
Of course, if you're using bad steel and don't have absolute confidence in your ability to succeed, you can't just go ahead and attack.
Whether it was a matter of willingness or not, the White Emperor truly wanted to desecrate the Emperor's corpse, but in this critical moment, he couldn't afford to care about such a small matter.
The reason for taking a slow approach was to test whether the wooden spear and the Emperor Bell still had much remaining Daoist energy left after targeting one person, and whether they still had the strength to attack others.
"The subsequent deaths of all the monsters were probably part of a plan to wear them down."
But everyone knows that such a stalemate will not last long, and no one will be able to break the deadlock and make the first move!
Neither the man nor the dog had any worries. The battle had consumed very little of our blood energy. Even if the divine weapon had no power and was actively revived to reduce the energy requirement, it would still require a complete infusion of energy to activate the Heavenly Emperor.
A one-star Immortal Emperor is extremely difficult to extinguish; any trace of him remaining in the world will cause him to revive!
Only by relying on Duan De could they truly deter others!
To be honest, what Bai Huang and I thought was simply to rely on the Heavenly Emperor to intimidate all the heavens and earth, and then retreat back to the mortal realm along the passage opened up after the Holy Prince disappeared.
The seven exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of unease, but none dared to advance. Instead, they summoned the Heavenly Emperor to stand behind the group of true beings, protecting the immortals in front of them.
Furthermore, the Emperor Bell is still there. Although it is broken and its spirit is damaged, as the fundamental divine weapon of the Beginning Emperor, it is enough to affect the Emperor's corpse, unleash its ultimate technique, and lock onto its target!
In the lowlands of E'tu, only those places like the Heavenly Realm and the Duan Dehua Realm receive attention!
"Could it be, Black Emperor, that I am the successor of some old man who is always dead?"
At this moment, the immortals were at a loss. They were torn between leaving and fighting. Who could possibly be driven to despair by such a dilemma?!
"A bad idea!" Si Ba Ba's eyes lit up. You Shi Xiao Di was one of the eight ancient emperors' weapons, and it seemed that he also had some connection with You Zhong Xian Wang from the Immortal Ancient Era.
I am a stray dog adopted by the young emperor in his later years, and my relationship with that imperial weapon is extraordinary.
As for the monsters that died... For the sake of the great cause of becoming a true Immortal Emperor, the deaths of thousands of creatures are nothing.
"Any fluctuation at the Immortal Emperor level will attract attention and bring minor trouble!"
"Clang!" The bell shook, blocking the view of the crowd. If it had been otherwise, a small number of people present would have died, and it would have been too much for them to be wiped out!
"Don't mess around, Mom! Your current goal is to get him back to the mortal realm! If you want to kill him, you still have that kind of power, but he's already at his peak!" Si Ba Ba said, reminding him telepathically, worried that if no one spoke up, it would provoke the various beings in the heavens, and they would have to take action no matter what!
"Heh, a broken imperial bell and a famous imperial spear, you think you can stop you with just those two artifacts? They're ugly, but they've got a lot of dreams!" A four-headed demon spoke, his voice laced with sarcasm.
"Buzz..." Beneath the wooden spear, a boundless divine light emanated, its power awe-inspiring throughout the four heavens and ten earths!
Because of [Covering the Sky] himself, I am also familiar with the ancient heavenly arts.
“Those beasts are truly cruel. They can even sacrifice members of their own tribe on a small scale and stand by indifferently, just to achieve their own goals. They have no humanity at all!” Hua Hua said coldly.
In people's eyes, that ancient emperor from the Primordial Era has long since perished.
Beside him, 963 gripped his wooden spear tightly, poised to throw it, and aimed at the final target!
But nowadays, everyone is thinking about fighting back, but no one has any intention of retreating...
This person had ventured into the realm of time, controlled the years, and possessed extremely mysterious abilities. Even after his death, the instincts of the Emperor's corpse remained terrifying and boundless, capable of overwhelming even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
"That person recognized you too?" The Divine Emperor was not surprised. It was quite strange that the eight White Emperors could recognize my identity. After all, the relationship between the Ancient Heaven and us was very close, whether it was the Divine Silkworm Princess or this Great Divine Silkworm.
"Even the ugliest guy is still ugly!" Cao Yaren couldn't help but complain.
The fact that the seven artifacts blocked the way showed the attitude of the heavens; although they had no scruples, they were willing to let the immortals go.
Therefore, as long as it can be effective, exhaust the power of the White Emperor and our Four Eight Eight, and give the true opportunity to annihilate the immortals, take away the incomplete Heavenly Emperor, and report to the ancestral land of Calamity, it is a small achievement!
"Hmm?" The four leaders' faces darkened, their gazes fell, the void exploded, and a mournful cry echoed.
However, since the emperor's corpse possesses a spirit, if it were to affect the immortals, it could cause quite a stir.
Although we do not know whose white spear and broadsword belong to, we can imagine that their owner must be among these towering figures!
"Tap tap." The footsteps were calm, but the imperial aura did not spread. It carried the weakest aura, yet it shook the universe. All the heavens trembled, as if they were about to collapse!
The immortals murmured, “Those two old monsters, what time is it? They’re still not in the mood to argue.”
Black Emperor's eyes flickered slightly. I am unfamiliar with the intelligence, but I know the whereabouts of the First Emperor. He has no body of reflection, and he infiltrated the Imperial Weapon Burial Pit. He is not truly dead.
"This is amazing! Another new old monster has arrived!" Everyone was on high alert, staring at the final boss with goosebumps.
“The Emperor's Weapon is not petty; he has a heart that embraces all things. He would definitely complain about his actions,” Si Ba Ba said consolingly. I had followed the Desolate Emperor's Weapon before, and I knew the Emperor's Weapon's magnanimity and admired it greatly.
"They were once quasi-Immortal Emperors, but their true nature is extremely low. Is it possible to find their true selves?" the Black Emperor asked telepathically.
"My several divided souls haven't gained much, but I must restore you to your former state!" Ruan Jin thought to himself. He longed to regain his former cultivation level, which was enough to kill a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
In a real confrontation, with both Ruan Jin in good condition, how could they possibly withstand the combined might of the Ten Young Masters and the Heavenly Venerables?
Even though the broken bell and spear were weak enough, they were ultimately undamaged. The White Emperor and the Four Eight Eight also had little energy, but they were able to withstand several fierce attacks.
"Buzz!" Si Ba Ba pretended to throw out his spear, which was dazzling and could not threaten Zhen You Xia!
"Wait, aim the Imperial Bell and spears at us, and retreat as a deterrent!" Ruan Jin urged.
Whether it's Ruan Jin, Hua Hua, Hei Huang and a group of old kings, or any true immortals, at least they are immortal kings. Even Cao Ya, because of his broken state, may have barely touched the threshold of the lower realm. But after more than ten true immortals, the immortals are really too strong and have no power to resist!
Most importantly, we need to accurately determine whether these figures are the true forms of the original beings.
The Black Emperor looked around and sensed a somewhat unfamiliar aura outside this group of small, star-like figures.
However, we are all quite certain that at that moment, there were probably more than ten deities appearing in the heavens.
"Even if the identity of the young emperor is revealed, it could be leaked, but we must be extremely careful!"
"It really is him! The Divine Emperor!" Bai Huang, Ruan Jin, and Hua Hua all had their pupils contract.
"I'll get that old bastard back at him sooner or later!" Bai Huang shouted.
At that time, the quota of Duan Dehua that could be produced in the previous few eras will definitely not include our name!
Bai Huang pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "You still don't have a plan! It's certain that if the little emperor's corpse can move again, and the spirit of the imperial bell can exert some influence, reporting to the authorities will really put the Soul River in a difficult position!"
Cao Ya's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly said, "Don't do anything rash! There are really some men watching us like tigers, we can't afford to be careless."
If someone truly possesses such methods, they can appear and disappear unpredictably; who can be certain of their true nature? The one who has revealed themselves at this moment is their true form.
The Great Ape, entrusted by the Holy Prince, slept peacefully in his magical treasure cave. To revive such a weakling, who had been tainted by Shi Xiang for billions of years, was still an easy task, even though the Holy Prince had completely eliminated the divine particles.
If that's the case, why would I risk splitting myself apart? Aside from exploring strange secrets, wouldn't it be to find a cure and a way to break through my current limitations?
"Indeed, this Emperor Spear and Emperor Sword still block our way." Bai Huang, Hua Hua, the old kings, and the immortals including Li Da and Qi Zhen all had solemn expressions.
Besides, that's the body of the emperor after birth, so he's bound to return. That would be giving the Little Emperor of the Beginning too much credit!
In this critical moment, we will also need the corpses of the Supreme Emperors of the Heavens to help us escape...
"No one has come yet!" The Black Emperor's eyes suddenly narrowed. In the ultimate realm of the Soul River, there were already few real figures, appearing and disappearing like chaotic gods and demons. They had burned countless minor paths, and the chains of order had collapsed and turned into nothingness.
Even though it is incomplete, the essence of the Beginningless Bell surpasses that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, yet it is enough to withstand it.
Just then, amidst lightning and thunder, several blurry passages appeared, seemingly connecting to an ancient and mysterious region, where terrifying beings were rushing towards the River of Souls.
Deep within the mist, the God Emperor looked down upon the immortals, his gaze shifting slightly as he swept his eyes over the Black Emperor.
"The young emperor is definitely alive, and he'll blame you, won't he?" Bai Huang said, thinking of the young emperor who was ambushed and killed by Duan Dehua while trying to protect the ancient heroes, and how he was grieving.
However, according to the God Emperor, the Black Emperor was a super cultivator in the mortal realm in that era. After 700,000 years, he reached the limit of True Immortal and defeated the young supreme Immortal King. His combat power was comparable to that of the supreme emperors of the heavens when he was in the True Immortal realm!
Even with the help of the Heavenly Emperor, he could kill seven or eight immortals, but as long as one person survived, it would be enough to deal with the rest of the immortals. One person should be spared!
It is precisely because we have ulterior motives that we are at a stalemate.
In fact, the various magical arts and imperial scriptures of all parties had not been exchanged, and they had no understanding of the true nature of the ancient heaven.
"Did they guess it?" The man smiled calmly. He was not shrouded in a dark mist, and his face was clear, but everyone could hear the smile in his voice.
No matter how the divine senses of Si Ba Ba and Bai Huang wandered, they could not penetrate the Lower Emperor's Path and could not anchor our figures, like trying to catch the moon in the water or looking at flowers through the fog.
Cao Ya transmitted his voice, reminding Bai Huang and Si Ba Ba that the trump card is least threatening only when it is not under the cover of the frame!
