Chapter 61: The Final Showdown, All Parties Gather!
On this day, Central State shook with excitement!
The longtime foes, Nine Absolutes Sect and Liyue Celestial Dynasty, finally decided to throw down after a cozy little conflict spanning several millennia. But let’s be clear—this wasn’t just any ordinary war; it was the kind where everyone emptied their piggy banks for a good old showdown!
The entire realm of Central State quaked under the anticipation. Major factions stayed tucked away in their hidey-holes, terrified that this monstrous storm of chaos might sweep them up and turn them into dust! Nobody wants to end up as a footnote in the annals of history—or worse, human confetti!
However, it quickly became clear that it wasn’t just the Nine Absolutes and Liyue having a family feud. No, sir! Even Jade Pool Sacred Land and the mighty Jiang Family decided to join the party. The dynamics were shifting—time for a revolution!
The big bosses in all the factions were left gasping, realizing it wasn’t merely a spat between two parties; it was more like two camps duking it out. Some of the top-tier leaders couldn’t shake the feeling that something way deeper was at play. But hey, nobody was eager to dive in just yet—they preferred to play the “wait and see” game, gauging the situation before making any moves.
Liyue Celestial Dynasty!
When Empress Ye Qingge issued her command, the army of celestial soldiers charged forth, their spirits soaring to the heavens. The Chancellor, Gongyang Mu, was the first to leap into the fray, his aura radiating terror as he led the charge against the local factions!
Xuan Bird Guard was hot on their heels, bursting forth like a tidal wave.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, both sides collided, unleashing a magical jamboree of spells and treasures, fireworks included! The sounds were deafening, with the very fabric of space trembling.
In the chaos, a horrifying force brewed, whipping like a storm and obliterating anything in its path. Bodies, in a constant rain of unfortunate souls, fell from the sky, bl**d staining the earth like a macabre canvas.
When you reach this level of chaos, it’s as brutal as a family barbecue where everyone brings burnt offerings—everyone’s skin’s on the line!
Ray Jue sent flying a dozen celestial cultivators with a single slap, glaring menacingly at Ye Qingge, “Ye Qingge, it’s high time we settle this once and for all!”
Clad in imperial robes, Ye Qingge twirled her whip with flair, sending forth bursts of energy. Anyone with weak cultivation? Yeah, those poor souls ended up as nothing but bloody mist!
She shot a disdainful glance at Cao Jue. “You think you can even come close to facing me?”
“Calling for backup? Hurry up and do it!”
Ray Jue’s face turned a shade red, then promptly darkened like a storm cloud. Despite being older than Ye Qingge, he felt utterly overshadowed—as if he were a candle next to a searchlight. Their prior encounters had always left him utmost embarrassed, and now it had become an obsession.
Resolving to conquer Ye Qingge became his inner demon to defeat! With a deep breath, he unleashed his tremendous power, his robes flaring dramatically, and proclaimed, “Today, I purge my shame, Ye Qingge! When you fall into my hands, let’s see how cocky you can still be!”
With that proclamation, he channeled every ounce of his energy, striking forth with a colossal hand that screamed “destruction” into the skies.
“Nine Absolutes Hand!”
As the sky dulled, the enormous palm shadow loomed ominously, encroaching on Ye Qingge from all sides. With his peak Great Ascension Period powers, this was meant to be a devastating move—real horror show vibes.
Yet, Ye Qingge remained unfazed, merely raising an eyebrow, thinking, “Didn’t you say that one should never reveal their Emperor’s power until absolutely necessary? Well, guess what? The moment’s here!”
In the blink of an eye, she moved to meet that monstrous palm, and with a dramatic fling of her whip, it erupted like a glowing dragon thousands of feet long, inscribed with mysterious inscriptions.
What a show!
BANG!
The clash was a sight to behold, but the enormous palm couldn’t hold up for long and started to crumble bit by bit.
Ray Jue’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is this possible?!”
Then, whack! his whip connected with him, sending him flying through the air. “Pffft—”
He coughed up bl**d, utterly flabbergasted. If it weren’t for his protective artifacts, this would’ve knocked him out cold!
Ray Jue, now both mad and confused, stared at Ye Qingge and stammered, “You broke through?! You weren’t even Great Ascension before!”
Previously, even losing wasn’t this embarrassing. He could at least pretend to hold his own! Now he felt like a bug zapped by a giant zapper!
With the reduced sense of dignity weighed down by this revelation, he realized that the only possibility that made sense was: Ye Qingge had been hiding her power all along!
“Which means…”
Panic seeped into Ray Jue as another chilling thought crossed his mind. The Eternal Emperor had pulled strings long before this showdown! If Ye Qingge and her allies revealed their strength now, it could either be pristine strategy or, worse, a potentially devastating surprise attack.
“Is this victory truly assured for today’s showdown?”
His heart raced with uncertainty. And where the heck were Jiang Wujì and the others? Still sipping tea somewhere?
He glanced towards Jiang Family’s end, only to find an eerily quiet space with not a soul to be seen.
“Looks like they won’t be coming—not today!” Ye Qingge remarked coldly, her voice dripping with icy menace. “From now on, I’ll pluck you all out one by one until those hiding behind the curtains finally show their faces!”
Despite the bl**d-curdling atmosphere, the fighting reached its peak madness.
k*ll cries echoed through the land as both sides tore into each other, but with the Nine Absolutes lacking support, their defenses crumbled against Liyue’s relentless advance, showing signs of utter defeat.
Ray Jue watched in despair as the tides turned—a shadowy figure lurking in his chest. But just then!
From high above the skies, several staggering auras crushed down like a tidal wave, a strange law of the Great Dao enveloping everything.
The clamor of battle subsided as both sides gazed upwards in shock, freezing mid-action.
Suddenly, four masked figures floated in the air, encircling Liyue Celestial Dynasty.
The Four Great Obliterators!
Gongyang Mu’s expression turned conflicted, “Four powerful Emperors? Why are they showing up now, of all times?”
Recently, there had been an influx of powerful Emperors, creating a buzz of disbelief!
Ray Jue, seeing the newcomers, breathed a huge sigh of relief. “I don’t know what’s happening, but at least Jiang Wujì sent these four to help. They surely still hold the upper hand!”
Ye Qingge’s expression turned grim as she coldly regarded the figures filling the sky.
“Emperors, huh?”
As those words slipped from her lips, her aura surged, braving the oppressive weight of their arrival.
All eyes were on her now!
This energy…
Ye Qingge herself was also an Emperor!
At the same moment, shadows enveloped the sky as an ominous darkness rolled in, a tide of black mist surging forth.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a woman in a light blue gown grinned excitedly. “Now this is a party! Just arrived right on time!”
