Chapter 2133: Emperor's Killing Move

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The conquest of the Emperor Dao, accompanied by apocalyptic rumbles, grew increasingly fierce. Yan Di's blood had splattered across Tai Shang Tian, his emperor body retreating step by step, unable to withstand Can Ye Mo Di's assaults. However, Yan Di's blood was not shed in vain; each severe injury caused his emperor body's consciousness to awaken slightly more. With every bit of consciousness that returned, his Emperor Dao combat power increased.

This was the pride of Di; even with only one emperor body left, it would not tolerate invasion. Can Ye Mo Di's attacks served as a perverse stimulus, rousing the lingering consciousness in the emperor body. The more fiercely Can Ye Mo Di attacked, the faster the consciousness awakened—from initial stiffness to eventually unleashing Emperor Dao immortal techniques on its own.

Fight!

Xiao Lu roared, connected by bloodline to the emperor body and fused with Yan Di's life-bound artifact. Bathed in emperor blood, it further stirred Di's consciousness. A finger of divine light pierced through Can Ye Mo Di.

This was the first time Can Ye Mo Di had been wounded since the two emperors clashed. That strand of pitch-black emperor blood, tinged with Emperor Dao demonic light, fell from Tai Shang Tian and instantly crushed a swath of stars.

"Very good."

Can Ye Mo Di gave a youyou laugh, showing no anger. The bloody hole in his chest was glaringly visible, but the fresh blood flowing from it reversed course, and the wound healed in an instant.

As before, the stronger Yan Di became, the more excited he grew. Slaughtering too easily would leave no thrill.

In that moment, Can Ye Mo Di's aura surged dramatically. A vast realm materialized behind him, a land of demons, pitch-black and ominous, with visions of stars collapsing within. Lava rivers crisscrossed the ground, piled high with corpses, burying countless lives.

His vision pressed down, making Yan Di's emperor body tremble.

Immediately after, a realm also manifested behind Yan Di, resembling an immortal domain with mountains and rivers intertwined, vast rivers flowing, and abundant life force. Immortal energy swirled densely; every inch of the realm seemed alive, infused with Emperor Dao principles that evolved all things. The heavenly sounds of the Great Dao echoed endlessly through the heavens, full of magic that made any cultivator's battle blood boil upon hearing it.

The two realms collided, reigniting the Emperor Dao assaults and shaking Tai Shang Tian to the brink of collapse.

Yan Di's consciousness continued to slowly awaken amid the battles. As his Emperor Dao power strengthened, he even forced Can Ye Mo Di to retreat at times.

Above the Great Dao Tai Shang Tian, not only Yan Di's blood but also Can Ye Mo Di's blood fell, both transforming into dragon shapes mid-fall and continuing to fight.

For the first time, a hint of ferocity appeared on Can Ye Mo Di's face. He had thought a single emperor body would be easily suppressed, but it proved unkillable and grew stronger with each blow. In a few moments, the emperor body's combat power even surpassed his own.

Compared to him, Xiao Lu's will to fight was overwhelming. The emperor body lacked a spirit, and Xiao Lu was its spirit. Though Di had perished, his imperial heir had inherited Di's will.

Fight!

This roar came not only from the imperial heir but also from Yan Di.

The emperor's roar shook a million heavenly demons, even making Can Ye Mo Di's heart tremble, as if sensing a terrifying power—one belonging solely to the Emperor Dao, originating from Yan Di's emperor body. It was a force capable of slaying emperors.

"Such promising juniors bring me great comfort."

Seeing the emperor body's rise, Ming Di could not help but cheer.

Ming Di's reference to juniors was no exaggeration; in terms of seniority, he outranked Yan Di by countless generations. Back in the day, in the underworld, he had personally witnessed Yan Di's entire life. That junior was extraordinarily brilliant, climbing to the emperor's throne over mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Though not the strongest Great Emperor of the heavens, he was the most dominant. One lifetime was not enough; he lived a second, outlasting generations of prodigies!

Di Huang's eyes also flickered with golden light. Merely with one emperor body, it withstood the assaults of a flawless Great Emperor, showcasing Yan Di's strength. If the true Yan Di were alive, Can Ye Mo Di would be no match. What good was a peak quasi-emperor? Upon entering the heavens, he would face suppression and be beaten into helplessness by the heavens' emperors.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Under the gaze of these supreme beings, the heavenly bloodbath grew even more gruesome. Blossoms of blood flowers bloomed across the stars, reflecting the glory of doomsday in vivid splendor.

The arrival of Yan Di's emperor body instilled immense faith in the heavens, igniting an invincible will to fight that spread across all domains. Boiling battle blood burned like fire; countless people underwent heavenly-defying transformations in the midst of combat, ascending to new heights through the baptism of blood.

Fight!

In Da Chu, roars shook the firmament as the gates of ten thousand cities in Southern Chu swung open wide. Da Chu's cultivators surged out like a tide in a true all-out charge, forcibly driving the heavenly demons from Nan Yan Great Marsh back to Zhong Tong Plains, then from Zhong Tong Plains back to Bei Zhen Cang Plains, and finally into the stars. The invaders had become the hunted.

Fight!

In Xuan Huang, the heavenly demons were also in full retreat, expelled exactly as they had invaded. They fled back into the starry sea, with countless demon war ships shattering and endless demon soldiers plunging in, only to be swallowed en masse into the sea depths.

Fight!

Roars echoed across all domains, as the heavens' cultivators, like a horde of madmen, launched a grand counterattack despite being absolutely outnumbered. They fought as if one against ten, a hundred, or a thousand held no fear.

Faith—this was the faith of all beings. With an emperor fighting alongside them, who still thought of life? Who still feared death? There was only endless assault until body and spirit were destroyed.

As for the heavenly demons, they were utterly baffled. What was going on? Weren't we the ones with the numerical advantage? And with a flawless emperor on our side? How did we end up on the receiving end of a counterattack?

Thus, the heavenly demons resolved to fight back shamelessly.

But to their embarrassment, they collided head-on with a group of lunatics—unmedicated madmen who pressed forward relentlessly, impossible to block, each one fiercer and more reckless than the last.

Boom!

This rumble came from the Great Dao Tai Shang Tian, collapsing an entire star domain.

Yan Di was drenched in blood, struck by Can Ye Mo Di's sword and nearly obliterated.

Yet, precisely because of this sword strike, Yan Di's eyes gained another trace of consciousness, no longer as vacant as before. His gaze was vast as the starry sky, encompassing heavens and earth, with endless Emperor Dao evolving within. In that instant, his combat power underwent a nirvanic transformation, his emperor's pressure shattering the heavens and extinguishing the earth.

"I will cut you down."

Can Ye Mo Di roared in fury, stained with emperor blood, charging forth with his emperor sword.

However, before he could attack, he frowned and abruptly halted, turning to gaze back at the spatial black hole. It was as if he could peer through the endless void and see Ye Chen inside, now less than nine million li from the Qian Tian Mo Zhu. In his obsession with fighting Yan Di, he had forgotten about him.

Can Ye Mo Di snorted coldly, firing a divine light from his brow that pierced the void and hurtled toward Ye Chen. It moved so swiftly it reversed laws, even freezing time.

In the black hole, Ye Chen felt a chilling sensation on his back, piercing his primordial spirit to the brink of shattering.

In an instant, he whirled around, deploying the Chaos Realm and activating his Outer Aspect Hegemon Body. Layer upon layer of shields materialized before him, attempting to block the Emperor Dao absolute kill.

Still in that instant, Can Ye Mo Di's divine light arrived, its power devastating everything in its path.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Ye Chen's defenses were as fragile as paper, pierced straight through. The Chaos Realm collapsed, the Outer Aspect Hegemon Body exploded, and even his domineering Archaic Saint Body was stabbed with a bloody hole.

Pfft!

Ye Chen spat blood and was flung out of the spatial black hole. The bowl-sized bloody hole in his chest swirled with ominous light—the kill intent of an emperor. In mere moments, it began devouring his Saint Body, ignoring even the Shen Long Shield, and nearly extinguishing his primordial spirit entirely.

Absolute kill—a true Emperor Dao absolute kill. Even a Great Saint level Saint Body with emperor weapons for protection would struggle to avoid utter annihilation.

Unfortunately, Can Ye Mo Di had underestimated Ye Chen, overlooking his Bloodline Limit. In his state of immortality, as long as a single drop of blood remained, he could turn death into life.

And so it was with Ye Chen now; he reformed his Archaic Saint Body and condensed his true self's primordial spirit. The lingering Emperor Dao kill intent provoked the fury of the Xian Wu Di Jian, which erupted with its own emperor might, forcefully erasing it.

Everything returned to normal.

The only difference was that his Six Paths Reincarnation Eyes had fallen into self-seal once more—or rather, Can Ye Mo Di's divine light carried an Emperor Dao seal specifically targeting his Reincarnation Eyes.

Pfft!

Ye Chen spat another mouthful of old blood, unsure if from injury or frustration. He truly was an unlucky one; he had finally gained a pair of Six Paths Reincarnation Eyes, yet they were cursed every few days and sealed every so often, each time more severely than the last.

Now, although he had blocked the Emperor Dao absolute kill, he could no longer enter the black hole.

Unable to enter the black hole, the problem became serious—he would have to face the heavenly demon army.

Ye Chen coughed dryly, instinctively scanning his surroundings.

What met his eyes was a vast, dark sea of heavenly demons filling the skies and blanketing the earth. Endless demons surged toward him like an ocean, all guarding the Qian Tian Mo Zhu. Their numbers were no fewer than those invading the heavens.

Gazing down from above, Ye Chen, surrounded by the demons, was like a mere grain of sand, inconceivably tiny. The demons grinned maliciously, each like a fiend, craving the taste of saintly blood and eager to devour his flesh and gnaw his bones.

Ye Chen frowned, gripping his emperor sword tightly as his combat power peaked instantly. Ignoring the demons around him, he only gazed toward the eastern horizon, where at the edge of the sky stood a pitch-black Mo Zhu, towering to the heavens, gleaming with demonic light, etched with Emperor Dao demonic patterns, and shrouded in demonic aura—cold and ancient.

That was the foundation of the heavenly demons, but he was still several million li away from it.

In other words, he would have to carve a path through those several million li, fighting alone with no allies, in a desperate charge. The chances of reaching it were almost zero.

For the demons were too numerous; even if they stood still for him to slay, it would take centuries. As the child of destiny, he had been wounded nearly to destruction, let alone him. Even in his Bloodline Limit state, his prospects remained slim.

"You're forcing me to go all out!"

Ye Chen gritted his teeth. With his Reincarnation Eyes sealed, he had no retreat and could not back down. This opportunity had been fought for by all living beings; he had to defend it with his life.

"You insignificant ant, daring to eye our heavenly demon foundation."

From the direction of the Qian Tian Mo Zhu came a sinister laugh, from the nine great demon lords under Can Ye Mo Di, standing in a row to guard the Mo Zhu. Can Ye Mo Di had left them to protect it, underscoring its importance.
