Chapter 1296: Chapter 441: Primordial Heavenly Emperor
Their era had only produced one Stone Monkey, but no one expected there to be two in the Three Realms.
Yang Jian slightly nodded upon hearing Purple Emperor’s praise, greeting him while maintaining a calm expression.
This demeanor further impressed Purple Emperor.
He realized immediately that the person before him was exceptional; in both disposition and talent, he was a top choice, making it hard to find a third like them.
Purple Emperor prided himself on surpassing others of his realm in every respect.
Yet compared to Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, he believed he was not as outstanding in that realm, falling behind in all areas.
Haotian God was visibly hesitant, now another Yang Jian had emerged, also stepping into the Supreme level, and his strength would not be inferior to Sun Wukong.
Once a battle broke out, he would not have the advantage.
"If you don’t dare fight, then get lost. If you dare disturb Purple Emperor again, don’t blame us for killing you without exception."
Sun Wukong scoffed, rebuking Haotian God.
He just wanted to drive Haotian God away so Purple Emperor could conserve strength.
As for slaying Haotian God, that was unrealistic; even if it were possible, the price would be unimaginably high.
Creation Realm experts are hard to eliminate.
Like Purple Emperor, who was once completely dead, but revived in this era, striving from death towards resurrection.
Haotian God’s eyes were cold as he stared at Sun Wukong, saying chillingly, "Rebellious disciple, if you wish to die, I will grant it."
Unexpectedly, Haotian God struck, with utmost force.
He slashed a sword, directly cleaving Sun Wukong apart.
This scene shocked everyone, even Purple Emperor was too late to intervene.
In the next moment, Sun Wukong resurrected, his Immortal Body hard to extinguish.
Even if only a drop of blood remained, he could regenerate.
Though having been cut once, Sun Wukong’s expression was noticeably displeased.
Primordial Demonic Qi absorbed massive mana, helping Sun Wukong restore his state.
At crucial moments, this force never faltered.
After recovering, Sun Wukong showed no great anger, shouting to the crowd, "Everyone be careful, he is Haotian God, not the Jade Emperor, so he truly dares to act."
Only then did the crowd realize.
They were puzzled earlier, by the Jade Emperor’s character, he should have fled by now.
However, Haotian God acted, almost severing Sun Wukong.
The Jade Emperor is merely Haotian God’s avatar, and due to circumstances, more restrained.
But Haotian God is different; he is the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, a formidable being ending the Primordial era, known for deep schemes but also boundless might.
Being an Ancient Heavenly Emperor makes him truly formidable and unparalleled in dominance.
Assuming he is the Jade Emperor would be seeking death.
Realizing this, everyone grew solemn.
"Everyone, attack with me."
Purple Emperor spoke.
His expression was cold; if this Haotian continued relentlessly, he wouldn’t mind risking every resource to severely wound or even kill him.
With Sun Wukong and their assistance now, the chances increased.
A great battle erupted here, Haotian was incredibly fierce, fighting alone against four powerful adversaries.
Sun Wukong and Purple Emperor stood at the forefront, with one’s profound strength, and the other’s Undying Body, hard to kill.
As for Yang Jian and Azure Dragon, they assisted in attacking.
This battle, Haotian fought fiercely.
Every gesture and movement of his, sword light soared sky-high, shaking Heaven and Earth for ten thousand miles, as if threatening destruction.
Four great experts besieged him, yet he held them off, astonishing the world.
Great Emperor Ziwei rose from his imperial seat, all stars of the Three Realms shone together, the vast starlight enveloped him, as he prepared to assist Sun Wukong and the others.
Yet a silhouette was seated not far from the Heavenly Court, it was Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
He had Eastern Emperor Bell above his head, moving through past and future, ready to strike at any time.
Clearly, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi aimed to prevent Great Emperor Ziwei from offering aid.
Meanwhile, Tian Hao blocked Eastern King.
Emperor Jun and Martial King were poised to act, especially Martial King, who sensed Purple Emperor’s aura, extremely excited.
This was once one of the strongest figures in the strongest realm, with immense power.
His return to the world, when facing destroyers in the future, offered them more hope.
Zibaiqing arrived, single-handedly stopping two.
Emperor Jun and Martial King exchanged glances and attacked directly.
Zibaiqing sneered, and another figure emerged from his body.
One of them was divine, with surging purple aura.
The other, with billowing demonic energy, had four heads and eight arms, clad in scales, tusks exposed, terrifyingly fierce, a demon-like figure.
Did Emperor Jun and Martial King use such methods, yet Zibaiqing had this tactic?
This way, he alone equated to two Heavenly Emperors.
No wonder he dared to block the two alone; in a two-versus-two situation, he certainly wouldn’t lose.
Martial King was somewhat annoyed, scolding, "Zibaiqing, are you mad? That is His Majesty Purple Emperor, do you intend to stop us from assisting His Majesty? He is your father."
Zibaiqing’s expression was indifferent, all four heads of the demon-like figure spoke simultaneously.
"He is merely a corpse animated, a rebellious spirit trying to defy Heaven and resurrect, not my father."
Zibaiqing did not acknowledge Purple Emperor’s identity, considering him an evil spirit.
Martial King shook his head, sneering, "You are indeed mad, helping others kill your own father, you are worse than a beast, but you overestimate Haotian, even without Great Saint and others assisting, Haotian alone cannot kill Purple Emperor."
Zibaiqing smiled faintly, speaking calmly, "Haotian naturally cannot kill the true Purple Emperor, if my father were at his peak, Haotian wouldn’t dare provoke him, unless he wanted to die, but alas..."
"Alas what?"
Martial King’s expression shifted slightly.
He realized something amiss, if Purple Emperor had no issues, why would he need to join forces with Sun Wukong and the others?
To deal with a Haotian, needing collaboration, this signaled a serious issue.
"Alas, he isn’t my father, just a rebellious spirit trying to resurrect, though he has been defying Heaven, almost succeeding, he still lacks something, hasn’t truly returned, this battle is enough to destroy all his resources, leaving him no chance to resurrect."
Hearing this, Martial King’s expression darkened.
He finally realized Haotian God’s intention, not to kill Purple Emperor, but to destroy all his foundation, preventing true resurrection, ultimately extinguishing him completely.
Realizing this, Martial King grew anxious.
He called to Emperor Jun, "Ally, I’ll hold him back, you go help."
"Alright."
Emperor Jun agreed, recognizing the gravity of the situation.
"None of you will escape, stay here."
Zibaiqing sneered, blocking two, not allowing them any chance to provide aid.
Apparently, Zibaiqing was determined to prevent Purple Emperor’s resurrection.
Battle erupted here, Emperor Jun tried to move past, but was blocked.
Zibaiqing manifested into both divine and demonic forms, each possessing Heavenly Emperor’s strength, overwhelmingly powerful.
