In the boundless chaos, a resplendent sun and a world-shaking divine sword were rapidly approaching the Dragon-Phoenix Domain.
"That old dragon truly has some guts," a seventh-tier Great Emperor said with a smile from within the sun. Beside him were four other Great Emperors. A total of five individuals were heading to the Dragon-Phoenix Domain. With the Dragon-Phoenix Domain's Great Emperors absent, the arrival of five Great Emperors was already a considerable gesture.
On the divine sword, five Great Emperors also stood. The agreement between the Crimson Sun Domain and the Sword Domain was to each send five individuals. As for how much of the Dragon-Phoenix Domain's resources they could seize, that would depend entirely on their own fortune.
"Soon," both sides felt a surge of anticipation. In another ten minutes, they would reach the Dragon-Phoenix Domain. It would be a feast of plunder.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King was aware of the situation. The thirty minutes he had set was calculated precisely. He had anticipated that the two domains would arrive within that timeframe. However, he had miscalculated.
"Ah…" Just then, a miserable scream erupted from below. The piercing cry instantly drew the attention of two eighth-tier Great Emperors. Upon seeing the situation, the Dragon King's face lit up with joy, while the Divine Firmament Great Emperor's expression changed drastically.
*Whoosh.* He could no longer afford to wrangle with the Dragon King. The Azure Firmament Great Emperor was about to be killed. If the Azure Firmament Great Emperor perished, the hard-won defenses would be instantly destroyed. The following minutes would see the Divine Firmament Domain massacred.
"It's too late to leave now," the Dragon King laughed heartily and instead began to engage the Divine Firmament Great Emperor.
*Rumble.* The two fought ferociously, shaking heaven and earth. However, no matter how the Divine Firmament Great Emperor unleashed his power, he could not break through the Dragon King's blockade. This old dragon was incredibly strong.
Below… the Azure Firmament Great Emperor's eyes were filled with terror. He wanted to flee, but he couldn't. The three enemy Great Emperors were desperately trying to kill him. This was the best breakthrough point. With half an hour almost up, they had to seize the time to expand their victory.
"Ah…" The Azure Firmament Great Emperor was going mad. He sensed his Azure Firmament Origin being plundered continuously, and his power was draining away in large quantities. At this moment, the Azure Firmament Great Emperor had to make a decision.
"Sever." A heartbroken cry of humiliation escaped the Azure Firmament Great Emperor's lips.
*Crack.* He severed his connection to the Great Dao universe of the Azure Firmament Realm. In other words, the Azure Firmament Realm had become a masterless world. And he, Azure Firmament, was no longer the lord of a realm. Not only had his Origin suffered a huge loss, but from now on, he was a rogue cultivator who had lost his world's power.
"I will kill you," the Azure Firmament Great Emperor's heart bled. Once at the peak of the seventh tier, he had instantly fallen to the middle stage of the seventh tier. If he had hesitated any longer, he might have lost even this bit of Great Dao power, possibly even falling to the sixth tier.
A choice had to be made. He couldn't leave, so he had to do this.
"Sigh." The Violet Firmament Great Emperor sighed. This was the optimal choice, at least ensuring his cultivation would not continue to decline. However… they had lost this battle.
"Kill." The three enemies began to press their attack. Now, the Azure Firmament Great Emperor could only fight an ordinary Great Emperor to a stalemate.
"Slash." The other two joined forces and shattered the Violet Firmament Heavenly Emperor. He alone could not withstand their combined assault. At this moment…
*Boom.* The vast Cloud Firmament Realm, a seventh-tier great world, began to crumble.
"Haha." Ao Shou emerged from the seventh-tier great world. He took with him all the Great Dao and world power from the Cloud Firmament Realm. The Cloud Firmament Realm, left as an empty shell, was directly destroyed by him. He didn't even intend to leave a shred for the Divine Firmament Domain. This person was ruthless.
Ao Shou's arrival made the situation in the Divine Firmament Domain even worse.
"Kill." The Divine Firmament Domain began to collapse entirely.
*Boom.* A deafening roar echoed through heaven and earth.
"I am not reconciled!" A ball of crimson cloud erupted into a ten-thousand-meter flame wolf, then exploded with a 'boom'. The Crimson Firmament Great Emperor had fallen.
On the Divine Firmament Domain's side, the realm lords fell even faster than ordinary Great Emperors. The Dragon-Phoenix Domain's goal was clear: kill the realm lords first, plunder the worlds, then talk about other matters.
*Boom, boom, boom.* A chain reaction occurred. The Great Emperors on the Divine Firmament Domain's side dwindled. Conversely, the Dragon-Phoenix Domain had more and more Great Emperors freed up. Every moment, another Great Emperor fell.
"Boom." The third lord of a great world had fallen. The Violet Firmament had perished. Thus, of the five lords of great worlds, only the Divine Firmament and the Azure Firmament remained. And the Azure Firmament was no longer a realm lord; he was now merely an ordinary rogue cultivator.
"Retreat." The Divine Firmament Great Emperor, unwilling but compelled, ordered, "Everyone, flee this place… Run…" The Divine Firmament Domain had collapsed, and no more lives could be lost. The half-hour mark was approaching. At this moment, the remaining Great Emperors, apart from himself, an eighth-tier realm lord, numbered only three. The Divine Firmament Domain was crippled.
"Plunder." The frenzied Great Emperors of the Dragon-Phoenix Domain not only rushed into the four seventh-tier great worlds but also into the Divine Firmament Realm. With the Divine Firmament Realm Lord currently being held back by the Dragon King, it was the perfect opportunity for plunder. Who would miss such a good chance?
The last three Great Emperors of the Divine Firmament Domain had fled… Only the Divine Firmament Great Emperor remained, struggling to hold on. He had not left because no one could stop him if he wanted to. However, he could not stop the enemies from plundering.
…
The Azure Firmament Great World. Two heavily injured giant dragons and a three-headed chaos wolf entered. The three-headed chaos wolf devoured world power, while the injured dragon charged directly into the Azure Firmament Realm's Great Dao universe. Its injuries were severe, but not fatal. It needed the power of the Azure Firmament Realm's Great Dao universe to further its own progress. Originally a nascent-stage Great Emperor, this was its best opportunity to advance to the middle stage.
"Huh?" However, as it entered the Azure Firmament Great Dao universe, the entire dragon was stunned. What was going on? Where was the Great Dao power? The empty Great Dao universe was devoid of everything.
"No, someone…" It sensed a human presence and became furious. "I fought to the death outside, and you are all picking up scraps here. You are courting death…"
"Roar." The dragon Aoshan directly charged into the depths of the Great Dao universe. The Great Dao power must be with those few insects. If it could devour them, it could also advance.
…
In the depths of the Azure Firmament Great Dao universe.
"So refreshing." The last trace of Azure Firmament Origin was completely devoured by Chen Fan. He felt a bit like he was drunk, swaying unsteadily. He had overeaten.
"Run!" Take the benefits and run. If they stayed any longer, trouble would ensue. The others had also eaten their fill and were overjoyed.
"Little bugs." At this moment, an earth-shattering roar echoed. Within sight, a colossal dragon was charging towards them. The pressure of a Great Emperor made their bones cry out.
"Damn it, so fast?" Ba Wang cursed. They had devoured as quickly as possible, yet they had still been too slow. They had been cornered by a Great Emperor dragon.
"No, it's injured…" Chen Fan suddenly spoke. Chu Laomo and the others looked at him with resentment. What new trouble were you going to stir up now? That was a Great Emperor, what do you want?
Chen Fan ignored their gazes, licked his lips, and asked, "Do you have the courage to kill a Great Emperor?"
"...No," Xian Di replied resolutely. He was arrogant, but not so arrogant as to believe he could fight a Great Emperor.
"Heh." Chen Fan grinned, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. "I'll try first. You act according to the situation…"
*Boom.* As soon as the words left his mouth, he had already charged out.
"Kill." His fighting spirit surged to the heavens. The Six Divine Weapons instantly appeared. Facing a heavily injured seventh-tier Great Emperor, Chen Fan showed the utmost respect. The minuscule figure fearlessly charged towards a Great Emperor.
"Little bugs." The Great Emperor dragon almost burst out laughing. Even though it was enraged, it couldn't help but find it amusing. A mere Heavenly Emperor daring to attack a Great Emperor? Even if this Great Emperor was heavily injured, it was not something a mere Heavenly Emperor could resist. A fifth-tier could fight against a sixth-tier, but a sixth-tier could absolutely not fight against a seventh-tier. A Heavenly Emperor and a Great Emperor. A chasm of cultivation levels separated them.
The Great Emperor dragon chuckled, "For the sake of your courage, this Emperor will personally devour you…"
"Slash." The Myriad Dao Sword, slash. One sword opened the heavens. The Divine Weapons all shone brightly… The Heavenly Crown, forbidding flight. The Spatial Boots, teleportation. The Dragon-Patterned Compass, disrupting heavenly secrets… All the Divine Weapons unleashed their most powerful abilities. The Gravity Treasure Orb, suppress.
"Wow." No one expected that the Gravity Treasure Orb would make the biggest contribution. The Great Emperor dragon's injuries were severe, its internal organs already shattered, yet it still possessed a powerful physique, an unparalleled physique. But the Gravity Treasure Orb's pressure went beyond the external. Its internal organs.
"Ah!" The dragon screamed. Its internal organs were all crushed by the gravity.
At this moment, the Myriad Dao Sword arrived. With a single sword, myriads of divine light bloomed. Yin and Yang leading the way, myriads of forces washed over.
"Pfft." A colossal head, as large as a mountain, flew off.
"Holy crap." From behind, Chu Laomo and the others, who had been gritting their teeth, preparing to act, were all shocked. What was going on? Even Chen Fan himself was stunned.
"Huh?" Who am I? Where am I? What happened? The blood of the Great Emperor dragon splattered all over him, hot and containing an incredibly dense amount of energy. He seemed to feel none of it. Before him, only a falling, colossal dragon corpse.
The next moment, Chen Fan turned around, directly collected the massive Great Emperor dragon corpse, and said, "What are you looking at? Run…" The Great Emperor dragon was dead, and the Dragon King would surely sense it.
"City Lord, you… you killed a seventh-tier Great Emperor…"
"Run." Chen Fan cursed. What time was it to be concerned about such things? Let's escape first.
Alright. Although the group was filled with infinite shock and questions, now was truly not the time to discuss them. Escaping was the priority.
…
*Whoosh.* The group rushed out of the already empty Great Dao universe and fled rapidly. Spatial Boots, teleportation. At this moment, Chen Fan used all his might to flee desperately.
Outside.
"Withdraw." Only one minute remained, and the Dragon King was very satisfied. This battle had left the Divine Firmament Domain with only four Great Emperors, including the Divine Firmament, an eighth-tier Great Emperor. More importantly, four of the Divine Firmament Domain's five great worlds had been destroyed. The sole remaining Divine Firmament Realm had also suffered heavy losses. The Divine Firmament Realm alone would need at least a hundred thousand years to recover. The only regret was that the Divine Firmament Realm's Great Dao universe could not be breached.
*Boom.* Powerful chaos beasts began to withdraw from the Divine Firmament Domain in an orderly fashion.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the Dragon King's gaze fell upon the crumbling Azure Firmament Great World. One less person, the aura was gone.
"The monstrous creature is dead?" A glint of killing intent flashed in the Dragon King's eyes. In his sight, a small group of figures was fleeing rapidly. They moved cautiously, like thieves. On the person in the lead, the Dragon King sensed the monstrous creature's aura.
