The Heavenly King of Life and Death, capable of resurrecting individuals from the brink of death. Such an existence, even Chaos itself could not tolerate. This hinted at the immense potential of the Heavenly King of Life and Death.
"..." Emperor Yu.
Indeed. If the Immortal Emperor were to be killed while blocking him for the Heavenly King of Life and Death, the latter would surely find a way to revive him. The powerful were reluctant to owe favors.
"Dark Emperor."
At this moment, Emperor Yu spoke. His voice echoed through the Chaos. "Are you still going to stand by and watch? Watch a Heavenly King of Life and Death emerge?"
The Dark Emperor had not yet made a move. Damnable. Blocked by the Immortal Emperor, he had to rely on the Dark Emperor.
"I cannot disengage."
The Dark Emperor's voice was remarkably calm, yet tinged with a somber gravity.
Emperor Yu's dissatisfaction was evident. "The strongest is here with me, and you, a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor, who can possibly stop you?"
"..." Dark Emperor.
The strongest? He shook his head. "The strongest is here, with me."
His gaze fell upon the figure who had not turned around, and the Dark Emperor's expression became exceedingly grave. He felt an intense sense of crisis emanating from this person.
Emperor Yu was infuriated. "Then you will just watch him ascend to emperorship?"
"He may not succeed," the Dark Emperor replied.
"But what if he does?"
"...Very well."
Ultimately, the Dark Emperor decided to act. Yes, what if? The Chaotic Lightning Tribulation was formidable, but with the methods of a Heavenly King of Life and Death, what if he could overcome it?
"Boom."
When the decision was made, it was acted upon. As a Lord of a Realm, the Dark Emperor never shied away from a fight. He had ascended step by step through slaughter to reach his current position. Although he had rarely engaged in combat later on, it did not signify cowardice.
A black sun materialized, pressing down towards Wuji.
"You couldn't resist in the end, could you?" Wuji's voice was placid.
The Dark Emperor spoke, "A Heavenly King of Life and Death cannot appear." In the boundless Chaos, there were certainly other Heavenly Kings of Life and Death. However, the Dark Emperor did not wish for such an entity to advance before his eyes. He had to stop it.
"Seal."
Wuji softly uttered the word. A talisman flew out, expanding against the wind to an infinite size, landing upon the dark sun and directly sealing it.
"Impressive technique."
The Dark Emperor was unperturbed. He was not surprised by Wuji's skill. If he possessed no such abilities, how could he have elicited a sense of crisis? The dark sun had indeed severed its connection with him.
However, the Dark Emperor possessed numerous techniques. From within the dark sun, another Dark Emperor emerged, identical to the first. The second Dark Emperor, controlling the dark sun, continued its advance towards Wuji.
"The path of clones is not viable."
It was as if old friends were conversing. A talisman appeared. "Suppress."
Boom. This talisman landed upon the dark sun. The combined force of two powerful rules, with a sharp crack, directly shattered the Dark Emperor's clone. The dark sun began to collapse.
"Come."
The Dark Emperor reached out. With a gentle grasp, the collapsing dark sun reformed. The dark sun vibrated, breaking free from the two seals. With two crisp cracks, the talismans shattered.
Whoosh. The Dark Emperor himself did not remain in place. The Dark Emperor entered the fray personally.
"Endless Darkness."
As he acted, the power of the Dark Realm descended, enshrouding the world. The entire Chaos instantly transformed into a dark realm, devoid of any light. Within this darkness, the Dark Emperor was the master. Even other Dark Realm powerhouses engaged in combat, their combat strength instantly soaring under the shroud of endless darkness. Battles that were once evenly matched now saw the Dark Realm gaining the upper hand. The Dark Realm was indeed powerful.
"Blade."
Wuji's voice resonated through the endless darkness. The power of darkness continuously eroded his consciousness; this was the might of a Lord of a Realm. If one were to remain in the endless darkness for an extended period, no one could withstand it. Since it could not be endured, it had to be shattered.
Zheng. In the darkness, a blade's light flashed. Initially, it was of normal size, but as the silver blade was swung, its radiance instantly expanded to tens of thousands of meters.
"Ching."
The endless darkness was directly torn apart. Light reappeared.
"Space?"
The Dark Emperor appeared in the distance, his face grim. He glanced at his palm, where a wound rapidly healed and blood evaporated. In his eyes, there was disbelief. "You have comprehended the Dao of Space. A third-tier expert, who are you?"
"Wuji."
Wuji never concealed his name.
"Is this why I sensed danger?" The Dark Emperor understood. The Dao of Suppression, the Dao of Sealing, though powerful, would not have caused the Dark Emperor to feel a sense of crisis. At this moment, he finally understood the opponent's trump card. The Great Dao of Space. This was his true trump card. Much like Chen Fan's teleportation, it involved the Great Dao of Space. However, Wuji's Great Dao of Space followed a path of offense.
"Receive my Space Blade."
A rather pedestrian name, seemingly chosen haphazardly.
Ching. The Space Blade struck again. The Dark Emperor's expression was grave, but he did not retreat. Having fought to this point, no one had the luxury of retreating.
"Kill."
The dark sun soared, carrying the power of its world to suppress. The clash of space and darkness. It was unclear who held the advantage; everything rested in the hands of Wuji and the Dark Emperor.
Rumbling. The battle between the two directly plunged into the depths of the Chaos.
...
Meanwhile, Chen Fan had successfully overcome the seventh lightning tribulation.
Bang. Chen Fan shattered the seventh lightning tribulation with his bare fist. Energy was once again plundered.
"Again."
It was only the seventh lightning strike, too weak. With such power, Chen Fan didn't even need to deploy the Tian Cong Yun Sword.
Boom. The Chaotic Lightning Tribulation seemed to be enraged. The eighth and ninth lightning tribulations appeared simultaneously, descending... The tribulations moved with incredible speed, instantly engulfing Chen Fan. From afar, one could see a figure within the tribulation continuously unleashing punches, shattering the lightning bolts one after another. This time, it took a full minute. The lightning dispersed, and Chen Fan emerged.
"That's it?" His clothes were slightly disheveled, and Chen Fan looked up at the endless Chaos. The nine Chaotic Lightning Tribulations had still failed to force him to draw his sword.
"Is it over?" Chen Fan was somewhat dissatisfied. He felt something was still missing.
Boom. At this moment, the tenth lightning tribulation appeared.
"Heh." Chen Fan smiled. "I knew it, how could it be so weak? So there's still..."
Boom boom boom. Lightning struck one after another. The fifteenth.
Clang. The Tian Cong Yun Sword appeared. "Slash." The Sword of Life and Death shattered the lightning. The sixteenth lightning tribulation descended...
...
Chen Fan was undergoing his tribulation while afar, a great battle raged.
"Ah..." The physical body of Old Demon Chu was shattered. Despite his fervent fighting spirit, he could no longer endure. His opponent was a fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor. There were still quite a few Heavenly Emperors in the Great Yu World.
"Kill." The fourth-tier Emperor's sun descended.
"War Demon." Carrying a battle saber and a divine bow on his back, the War Demon reappeared. Saber, arrows... All attacks were shattered under the sun. The War Demon's figure also began to dissipate.
"Boom." Under the sun, Old Demon Chu's form was directly crushed into smoke. Old Demon Chu was dead.
"Old Demon." In the distance, Emperor Kuang's eyes were red with fury. Old Demon Chu had been killed. A fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor had personally slain him.
"Don't rush." The opponent of Emperor Kuang was also a fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor. "You will soon join him." The Great Yu World was too powerful. They were not a match. Zhao Kai's side had also begun to flee. The mere Death Emperor was not enough on the battlefield of Chaos. They were sufficient within the Immortal Realm. The battlefield began to collapse...
