The battle of the emperors.
It had been a long time since such a lively scene had occurred.
Countless strong individuals gazed across the long starry river, fixated on this clash.
Being surrounded was no joke!
The Innate Demon Infant looked as if disaster was looming over him.
The battle erupted with a roar, the void instantly transforming into chaos, as the Dao radiated an extraordinary brilliance, with four great emperors attacking the Innate Demon Infant.
And another emperor was rushing madly towards the fray.
“Are you trying to force me?” the Innate Demon Infant roared.
The four said nothing and pounded away.
“Even if I fall, I can drag someone down with me!”
The Emperor’s blood rained down, each drop brimming with terrifying energy, enough to shatter stars.
Even the Nine Heavens felt the dreadful tremors from beyond.
The Innate Demon Infant pushed every ounce of his strength, longing to return to the Nine Heavens.
But he couldn’t go back!
He had countless escape methods, yet the opponents always managed to find him.
Why?
Why was this happening?
The Innate Demon Infant was perplexed, his source continually disappearing.
With the source he had left, he could indeed fight to the death, but that was all he could do.
No doubt he was the strongest emperor under the Demon Ancestor, and even the fifth emperor joined the fray, yet still, some emperors were being smashed to bits.
Emperor Dao Hen endured horrific pressure, constantly spitting blood, yet he fought bravely.
The Innate Demon Infant cried out for help.
“If any fellow Daoists can save me, I’d be incredibly grateful!”
In fact, others did want to step in to help the Innate Demon Infant.
But just as they prepared to act, someone locked onto them.
The five emperors had already taken action, yet that didn’t mean they were the only ones.
The dark era had long passed; that time was a dreadful one, and anyone with a shred of conscience despised it.
Now you want to save the Innate Demon Infant?
Good luck with that!
With no hope of breaking through to the Nine Heavens, the Innate Demon Infant even at this moment pushed himself to transcend, rushing in the opposite direction of the Nine Heavens.
The Darkness Origin was right behind!
Entering the Darkness Origin would suffice.
“Hurry, save him!”
“Great Emperor of Covering Heaven, stop them!”
The Darkness Origin urged anxiously.
Great Emperor of Covering Heaven looked at the five overwhelming figures, their emperor power like a terrifying new sun.
…
They were the new sun; he was merely the setting sun.
Would he really be able to hold back these five?
“No way, I’m not good at fighting…”
“Save me!”
The Innate Demon Infant roared.
The Darkness Origin…
Great Emperor of Covering Heaven…
They watched helplessly as the Innate Demon Infant was once again pulled back into the encirclement.
At that moment, the battle seemed to have reached a conclusion.
The Innate Demon Infant fell; before his fall, he was filled with hatred for Emperor Dao Hen.
He unleashed his most terrifying attack on Emperor Dao Hen.
Yet Emperor Dao Hen held firm, despite his body crumbling, he still held steady.
The other four emperors surged forth, four brilliant rays crashing into the Innate Demon Infant, as his entire form began to evaporate.
The Darkness Origin was about to “explode with rage.”
“Damn it! Damn it!”
“When the Demon Ancestor awakens, how will I explain this? Great Emperor of Covering Heaven, with your terrifying combat power, why don’t you step in to stall for a moment!”
Great Emperor of Covering Heaven almost rolled his eyes to the heavens.
If he stepped in to stall, the Innate Demon Infant would just run back into the Darkness Origin, while he got beaten up by five people.
Even if the Innate Demon Infant was his beloved child, he wouldn’t do that!
“I don’t care; when others revive, you explain it to them!”
“Forget it, I’ll explain for them, this is infuriating! The Innate Demon Infant just revived, and yet he’s been brutally killed; our momentum just plummeted.”
Great Emperor of Covering Heaven…
The Innate Demon Infant used his last ounce of strength to flee; he had been striving to transcend, yet felt utterly helpless.
In his previous life, he had surrounded others; in this life, he was the one being surrounded.
One could only say, karma never misses a beat.
Before long, the Innate Demon Infant ultimately fell into despair.
At the moment the Innate Demon Infant perished.
The Daos in the air lamented.
The stars dimmed.
Regardless of whether this person was good or bad in life, reaching this level in their Dao cultivation meant they had become a recognized existence in the Dao.
The Dao doesn’t distinguish between good and evil.
A sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the entire heavens and earth.
Yet not a single soul mourned; instead, they cheered with glee.
“Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, did you see? Even though you’re gone, your successors still protect us weaklings!”
“Emperor! Emperor!”
“The emperor of the human clan! Immortal forever!”
Countless beings erupted in cheers.
The dark era had inflicted great wounds on this realm; aside from those who thrived in that time, no one wanted to return to it.
If during this resurrection of the Innate Demon Infant, no one had stepped in to stop him…
It would have meant the reappearance of the dark era.
But now that the Innate Demon Infant had been utterly wiped out, it was different.
The existing emperors and celestial lords would not allow the dark era’s strong to rampantly slaughter beings, greatly boosting everyone’s morale.
Although, this morale had no direct effect.
Yet everyone was still chanting for the human clan’s emperor; that feeling of being immortalized in history, revered by countless souls, would surely tempt the emperors.
In life, ordinary people seek money, power, fame, and profit!
But cultivators merely needed an extra Dao!
Lu Ye smiled upon hearing the news from Emperor Dao Hen.
Indeed, one could hold the Darkness Origin accountable.
He closed his eyes and resumed his cultivation.
The Reincarnation Celestial Lord had made quite an impression; this batch of treasures was ample for him to train for a time.
Matters regarding the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace could wait a bit longer.
The Nine Extremities Realm could strengthen nine directions.
Lu Ye had already made up his mind; he only needed to enhance his fist.
Because his training wasn’t like others, groping around with no direction.
He returned from the finish line; he had known his endpoint from the very start.
What he aimed for in this session of cultivation was to break through the finish line with faster speed and greater strength.
Everything else was but a fleeting cloud.
Of course, that also comes with a downside: the difficulty of enhancement would increase exponentially.
Lu Ye feared nothing but difficulties.
Let’s push on up!
His current strength was basically increasing every moment.
The quality of the Primordial Force was continuously rising; when Lu Ye was in the Longevity Realm, he severely doubted he could match the Void Realm.
But after advancing a realm, such worries vanished.
The Void Realm was indeed strong, with methods as unpredictable as the sea.
To see the void as nothing, Lu Ye couldn’t do that yet; he could use the space Dao, but not as smoothly as the Void Realm.
However, he realized after taking action.
He didn’t need that much smoothness.
Just needed to counter movement with stillness; even if the opponent shuttled through the void, they still had to come out to attack him. In that case, with a punch or a sword, no one in the Void Realm could withstand him.
