Rumble, rumble, rumble!
In the heart of the desert, the Elf Emperor's elven magic, the Azure Ox Emperor's earth elemental power, the Cold Martial Emperor's light power, and Bai Ye's sorcery clashed and collided, sending storms of energy that stripped away layer after layer of yellow sand.
The battlefield, once an endless plain, had been transformed into a colossal valley. Such a formation would naturally take at least a million years, yet it had been forcibly created in moments by the fierce battle between these few individuals.
Affected by the onslaught were the demonic plants that bound Lydia to the ground. Their thick vines were now covered in cracks, and the delicate tendrils at their ends were in tatters.
While the demonic vines had ensnared Lydia, they had also protected her. Furthermore, with Elf Emperor Rachel defending her, Bai Ye had acted with restraint, and Lydia had not been critically wounded again.
Switching the battlefield. However, Bai Ye still harbored worry, fearing that these three would be driven to desperation and use Lydia as a threat if they faced mortal danger.
Bai Ye's gaze settled on the Cold Martial Emperor; he was Bai Ye's primary target.
Sensing Bai Ye's icy stare, the Cold Martial Emperor felt a flicker of unease. "Don't hold back anymore!! If you can't kill him, escaping will be troublesome!"
But before he could finish his outcry, Bai Ye had already charged towards him. Spell after spell of sorcery bombarded the Emperor, with the combined fire directed at Elf Emperor Rachel and Azure Ox Emperor now focused entirely on him.
The Cold Martial Emperor instantly felt immense pressure. He felt as if he wasn't facing the attack of a single Emperor, but thousands upon thousands of Emperor-level enemies launching terrifying magic at him simultaneously!
The Cold Martial Emperor fought back with all his might, the light on his greatsword flashing incessantly as streaks of terrifying sword light slammed into Bai Ye's sorcery.
The sky above had been rendered incredibly fragile by the impact of their rule power, even exhibiting spatial rifts. This was even with the control of spatial confinement magic formations. The destructive power of Emperors was truly world-ending.
Yet, even amidst this full-force confrontation, the Cold Martial Emperor felt strained, constantly retreating. In a short time, Bai Ye had pushed the Cold Martial Emperor back hundreds of kilometers, away from the desert center where Lydia was trapped.
"Are you just watching? Kill him!!!" The Cold Martial Emperor cried out in exasperation, his voice hoarse. While the opponent was aggressively attacking him, turning his back on the Elf Emperor and Azure Ox Emperor, the attacks from the other two against Bai Ye appeared so weak and feeble in his eyes, devoid of any killing intent.
At this moment, the Cold Martial Emperor even suspected that these two were playing him!
The Elf Emperor and Azure Ox Emperor, who were pursuing from behind, wore grim expressions. With Bai Ye currently hounding the Cold Martial Emperor, unleashing ultra-high-damage magic would also harm the Cold Martial Emperor. Ordinary attacks, however, were easily neutralized by Bai Ye.
Fiery sorcery for the main assault, lightning sorcery for surprise attacks, and earth elemental sorcery for defense. The Azure Ox Emperor and Elf Emperor Rachel secretly marveled. Although Bai Ye's lightning and earth elemental powers lacked rule power augmentation, their might was still not to be underestimated.
Rule power versus elemental will power was akin to a dimensional reduction attack. Even the most formidable Demon Kings, when unleashing their trump card magic against Emperors, would find that Emperor-level experts could easily neutralize it with mere outward projection of their own magic, or even counter-kill them directly. However, this level of suppression against Bai Ye had lost its effectiveness!
Fortunately, the spatial confinement magic formation in this area restricted his spatial powers. Otherwise, fighting with the traversal capabilities of spatial power, combined with this terrifying fiery power, even their combined forces of three Emperors would at best be able to protect themselves! The Elf Emperor and Azure Ox Emperor secretly rejoiced that they had made thorough preparations.
"Thorn Wall!"
"Thick Earth Defense!"
The Azure Ox Emperor and Elf Emperor Rachel pursued rapidly, each casting magic to erect two defensive layers for the Cold Martial Emperor. A protective net woven from vines, covered in sharp spikes, appeared before Bai Ye. Behind it, a wall of earth, connecting heaven and earth, stretched endlessly, seemingly dividing the entire world in half.
Seeing the assistance from the Azure Ox Emperor and Elf Emperor Rachel, the Cold Martial Emperor breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he felt even more frustrated. Famous as a close-combat master, a half-demon renowned as an assassin mage, and an Emperor-level expert, he had unexpectedly encountered a monstrous mage today, who had forced him to refrain from close-quarters combat.
Boom!!!
The Cold Martial Emperor's moment of relaxation was shattered. The Elf Emperor Rachel's thorns were burned away, and the Azure Ox Emperor's thick earth wall was pierced. Bai Ye, covered in flames, charged at him like a burning meteor.
This overwhelming aura made the Cold Martial Emperor's scalp tingle! Damn it, why does it feel like he's only targeting me? You're everyone's enemy, so why are you attacking me!
Suddenly, the Cold Martial Emperor felt a jolt of premonition as an extremely terrifying fiery power emanated from Bai Ye.
"Glassfire, Encirclement!"
"Fury Sea of Fire, Sky Burning!"
Having moved away from Lydia, Bai Ye now had no reservations. With the enhancement of super magic combined with rule power, its might reached its peak.
Wisps of glass-colored flames drifted through the sky, quietly waiting for prey, as if lying in wait.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The sky trembled violently, infernos erupted from the ground, and fiery torrents rained down from the sky, all aimed directly at the Cold Martial Emperor.
Elf Emperor Rachel and the Azure Ox Emperor's expressions changed. The Cold Martial Emperor's pupils dilated, and even he, an Emperor, showed a look of fear akin to a low-level demon.
This guy, releasing his trump card magic so quickly? And two of them at once. Emperors possess vast amounts of magic, but they couldn't possibly unleash them like this!
No, there's a third one!!
Another, even more terrifying fiery power surged forth. Bai Ye's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Pillars of Deathfire!"
Hoooom, boom, boom!!!
The space, already permeated with blazing flames, was further assaulted by streams of terrifying fire, forming crosses, asterisks... with the Cold Martial Emperor at their center.
A killing blow??? Elf Emperor Rachel and the Azure Ox Emperor exchanged glances, their expressions hardening. They furiously circulated their magic, their auras reaching their peak. They had no confidence in whether the Cold Martial Emperor could withstand Bai Ye's onslaught, but at this moment, Bai Ye would surely be significantly weakened – this was an excellent opportunity!
"Yellow Springs Flower Bloom, Cycle of the Undead!" Elf Emperor Rachel spread her slender arms, and a mysterious, eerie flower rapidly condensed and bloomed. With a flick of her will, it surged into the terrifying sea of fire.
The Azure Ox Emperor's body shimmered with layers of magic circles. He opened his palm and pointed towards the sea of fire. "Gate of Hell, Earth's Burial!"
The desert suddenly caved in, and the maw of an abyss appeared, swallowing even Bai Ye's flames.
Bright City, Elias Megalopolis, Dwarves, Demons, and various creatures from the passage world all gazed at the distant sky. At this moment, nearly the entire passage world felt the aura of the four individuals' battle.
How terrifying!
"Ahhh!"
"You are forcing me to die!" The Cold Martial Emperor's imposing aura vanished, and his golden, handsome armor was in tatters.
"Holy Light Guardian!"
"Holy Domain of Light!"
"Storm Sword Array!"
...
"Cough! If I die, you die too!!" The Cold Martial Emperor went mad, spewing blood as he unleashed his life's worth of magic!
Boom, boom, rummmmmble!!!!
Bai Ye, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his face pale, also felt the full force of Elf Emperor Rachel and the Azure Ox Emperor's all-out assault. Had it been any other Emperor, they would have been incapacitated or even killed by now.
However, a playful smile touched Bai Ye's lips as an extreme wood elemental power spread outwards.
"Unceasing Life."
"Flower Transfer, Wood Grafting!"
