"Boom."
The fall of the first second-tier Emperor Venerate was not the end.
"Die for me."
Destruction energy pierced through heaven and earth.
The Mad Emperor, now wearing his gauntlets, unleashed his full power.
In an instant, he unleashed millions of punches, shattering his opponent's defenses and body.
The previous roar came from the disintegration of his opponent's physical form.
"Whoosh."
The soul of the second second-tier Emperor Venerate escaped.
His pupils contracted, his eyes filled with boundless fear, and he turned to flee.
"Where do you think you're running?"
The Mad Emperor was savage beyond compare.
Old Devil Chu has already killed people, even striking upwards to defeat a higher realm. As a former third-tier Emperor Venerate myself, would I let my opponent escape?
"Domain of Destruction."
A domain was an alternative to an Imperial Palace, merely lacking world barriers. Their power was comparable.
Boom.
The Domain of Destruction descended, trapping the escaping Emperor Venerate's soul.
"Kill."
Within the Domain of Destruction, the Mad Emperor was the absolute ruler.
He was now following the path of devouring Imperial Palaces. His punches were like mountains, suppressing and tearing apart the opponent's soul.
"Hahaha."
The Domain of Destruction dissipated, and the Mad Emperor's laughter shook the heavens: "Second-tier Emperor Venerates are nothing more than this..."
He had the right to be arrogant.
Even though the power of rules within his body was severely weakened, his performance remained formidable.
Admitting he was not capable?
Impossible.
Whether it was the Overlord, Old Devil Chu, or the Mad Emperor, they all cared about their pride.
Was I injured?
Yes, I was injured.
But I simply wouldn't show it. Anyone who didn't believe me could come and fight me.
Two second-tier Emperor Venerates were thus killed.
Silently, in a manner so simple it was speechless.
...
In the direction of White Emperor Mountain, everyone was silent.
Two second-tier Emperor Venerates were just killed?
No one stepped forward.
Everyone looked up, gazing at the summit of White Emperor Mountain.
Sword Venerate stood there, and had been for a long time.
As long as Sword Venerate did not move or speak, they did not know what to do.
"Everyone."
At this moment, Sword Venerate suddenly spoke: "All Emperor Venerates, surround and kill these two. Chen Fan... leave him to me."
He had finally decided to act.
He had no choice but to act.
The situation could not be allowed to worsen, otherwise, White Emperor Mountain would lose face.
"Yes."
The Emperor Venerates responded.
Boom, boom, boom.
Powerful auras erupted.
The winds and clouds of White Emperor Mountain were stirred, each aura powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth for a hundred miles.
In an instant, thunderclouds rolled overhead.
"Kill."
All the Emperor Venerates of White Emperor Mountain attacked in unison.
More than ten second-tier Emperor Venerates, and first-tier Emperor Venerates... well, there were far fewer of them.
"What the hell."
Old Devil Chu felt his scalp tingle.
He turned and fled, shouting as he ran: "No martial ethics! I'm not playing with you anymore."
The Mad Emperor also fled.
If they didn't run, they would die. Once caught, they were doomed.
Only Chen Fan remained motionless.
He couldn't move, or Sword Venerate would surely attack.
Furthermore, even with his might, he would have to regret it if he were surrounded and killed by more than ten Sword Venerates.
At this moment, he could only watch and say, "Run as far as you can. Just don't get surrounded. Remember... if anyone splits off, notify me immediately."
These words were spoken in front of everyone.
Without any concealment.
These words were meant for the Supreme beings to hear.
You can chase, but you cannot split up.
Whoever dares to split up, he will instantly teleport to them.
As expected...
As soon as these words were spoken, the chasing Emperor Venerates immediately stiffened.
No one could ignore the threat of a third-tier Life and Death Emperor Venerate.
"Chen Fan."
Sword Venerate strode down from White Emperor Mountain: "As you wish, today, I shall slay you."
"Come..."
Chen Fan beckoned with his finger.
Full of provocative intent.
...
Eastern Continent Battlefield.
At this moment, the battle in the Eastern Continent had reached a white-hot stage.
The Green Emperor Mountain side was retreating inch by inch.
"Buzz."
At the summit of White Emperor Mountain, the Immortal Root, which had once intended to take Chen Fan as a disciple, finally reappeared.
An ancient tree exuding chaotic energy swayed on the summit.
Every branch radiated a misty divine light.
On the branches hung orbs of light, within which seemed to be worlds, with figures kneeling in worship.
"It's out."
The appearance of the Immortal Root instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The Green Emperor.
This Immortal Root was said to have been captured by the Green Emperor in the chaos, and was a divine root of heaven and earth.
The appearance of the Immortal Root signified that the Green Emperor was about to emerge.
Indeed...
The crown of the Immortal Root dragged an Imperial Palace.
The green-hued Imperial Palace was filled with vitality.
Infinite pressure spread out, the powerful aura seeming to crush this world.
This was an Heavenly Emperor who had suppressed the world for ten thousand years.
Before his true body even appeared, he had already made everyone unable to move.
Faces filled with terror looked up towards Green Emperor Mountain.
"Heh heh."
Only one person present remained calm.
Or rather, remained unaffected by the terrifying pressure.
In the sky, thunderclouds rolled.
"Ling Gan Yang."
Lord spoke, uttering the Green Emperor's name.
This name symbolized taboo.
Even if someone knew the Green Emperor's true name, they would not dare to speak it aloud behind his back.
The name of an Heavenly Emperor was a taboo.
Rumble, thunderclaps sounded.
A simple three words, a forbidden name.
No one could mention it.
But Lord dared, not only dared, but also mocked him loudly.
"Are you finally willing to crawl out of your turtle's nest? Hahaha... Ling Gan Yang, you cowardly turtle, hahaha..." Lord burst into laughter.
Buzz.
On the Immortal Root, a figure appeared.
Green robes, green hair, looking down from above.
That face was as unfathomable as mist.
The Heavenly Emperor, a being at the pinnacle of the world.
Facing Lord's mockery, the Green Emperor's expression remained placid: "Who are you?"
Even the Green Emperor did not know Lord's identity.
"Guess, hahaha." Lord continued to laugh.
But as he laughed, his laughter turned sharp and mournful.
Overwhelming hatred surged.
"You are Ye Guang Ji," the Green Emperor said.
The name that slipped out caused the heavens and earth to fall silent.
Even the thunder in the sky paused for a moment.
Ye Guang Ji, the name of the Black Emperor.
"Swish."
Faces of the Northern Continent's powerhouses abruptly turned.
Everyone looked at that disfigured face.
Disfigurement... was never a problem for powerhouses.
Let alone disfigurement, regenerating from a drop of blood was effortless.
Yet, this face had not recovered its original appearance.
Either... there was a rule condensed, or... the other party did not wish it.
Who was this person?
"Hahaha."
Lord continued to laugh, his laughter venomous and manic: "You think I am the Black Emperor?"
The Green Emperor's expression was inscrutable.
Only his movements could be seen. He seemed to shake his head and say, "Probably not. I know the Black Emperor's path very well, and it is different from yours. Therefore... who are you?"
"Hmph."
Lord snorted coldly, and with a raise of his hand, an Imperial Palace appeared above his head.
It was Lord's Imperial Palace, no less inferior to the Green Emperor's Palace.
"Come out."
Buzz.
Rules flew out of the Imperial Palace and into Lord's hand.
It was the Dao of Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Each rule represented a path of desire.
