Chapter 2770: The Demon's Arrival

"Damn it."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and immediately unleashed the Da Lun Hui Tian Dao.

At this moment, he finally understood. The so-called Bo Luo Yu alternate space was a trap, specifically designed to ambush young emperor-level figures. They had been ensnared, which directly led to the Tian Mo invasion. This was absolutely no coincidence.

Unfortunately, despite the First Sheng Ti's elaborate schemes, they had still underestimated him and his three companions. Not only had they failed to eliminate them, but they had suffered a crushing defeat themselves. The Zhu Xian Sword was severely damaged, the First Mai Sheng Ti was slain, and countless E Mo were sacrificed. In essence, they had dug a pit and buried themselves alive.

He felt fortunate, grateful for the bloodline power granted by Wu Lei. Without the bloodline limit, he and his three allies would likely have perished.

Crack! Crack!

In the Sheng Ti small world, the Hun Dun Ti, Ji Ning Shuang, and Tian Zun were frantically swallowing pills. Ye Chen had detected the Tian Mo aura, and they had as well. A great emperor was surely about to descend, though the exact number was unknown. Regardless, it would be a fierce battle no matter how many there were.

As for Ye Chen, he didn't need to take pills. The bloodline limit made him impervious to death or injury. His Sheng Qu healed rapidly, replenishing his energy and restoring him to his peak state.

Boom! Rumble!

The vast starry skies were shrouded in blood-red mist.

The peak powerhouses were locked in combat, and the cultivators of the Zhu Tian were fighting as well. Countless star domains exploded, and vast expanses of the starry skies collapsed.

The entire Zhu Tian was in utter chaos.

"At all costs, destroy the Qing Tian Mo Zhu."

The resolute command echoed through the starry skies.

Listening closely, it was Ren Wang's voice. He stood at the highest peak of Tian Xuan Gate, his expression grave. Dong Huang Tai Xin had already entered the battlefield, leaving this weak fighter to guard the Zhu Tian gates.

The remnant soul of the Ren Huang still had its wits about it. The emperors themselves weren't the greatest threat. The Qing Tian Mo Zhu was. Every second, Tian Mo soldiers poured out. If things went wrong, another great emperor could emerge.

"At all costs, destroy the Qing Tian Mo Zhu."

Similar shouts rang out from the directions of Xuan Huang and You Ming. The two mid-level great emperors were impossible to defeat unless the Qing Tian Mo Zhu was shattered.

Battle!

The veteran experts of the Zhu Tian converged from all sides, splitting into two groups. One headed toward the far end of the starry skies, the other charged toward Tian Huang, carving a bloody path through the Tian Mo armies.

However, they remained incredibly distant from the Qing Tian Mo Zhu, while the Tian Mo forces were like an endless black ocean, impossible to count or exhaust.

"You little rascal, where the hell did you go?"

Ren Wang couldn't help but curse, referring to Ye Chen.

A half-step accomplished Sheng Ti possessed the power to slaughter Tian Mo emperors. Though extremely difficult to eliminate a mid-level great emperor, destroying the Qing Tian Mo Zhu would be well within his capabilities.

What the Zhu Tian needed now was someone of his caliber to lead the expeditionary forces and launch a full assault on the Qing Tian Mo Zhu.

But awkwardly, since the Tian Mo invasion began, Ye Chen had been nowhere in sight, nor had Yao Chi, Hun Dun Ti, or Tian Zun. Their primordial spirit jade tablets were still intact, meaning they were alive, yet utterly missing.

"They've probably been trapped somewhere."

Fu Ya pondered, gazing at the illusionary water screen and the blood-soaked battlefields. His face was ashen. The Tian Mo soldiers were overwhelmingly powerful, bolstered by two mid-level Tian Mo emperors. The Zhu Tian would surely lose if the war dragged on.

"Damn it all."

Ren Wang slammed his fist on the table. If the Zhou Tian evolution hadn't failed, the Zhu Tian wouldn't be in such a passive state.

"Take care."

From the various peaks of Tian Xuan Gate, figures soared into the sky. One after another, the old quasi-emperors of Tian Xuan Gate. Their words of caution were directed at Ren Wang. Those guarding Da Chu were now heading to the battlefield, and whether they would return alive was uncertain.

"Take care."

Ren Wang murmured softly, watching them depart.

Boom! Bang!

No sooner had he spoken than two thunderous roars echoed.

Then, the Hong Chen Liu Dao appeared. One like a walking corpse, the other like a puppet. Both moved with stiff, mechanical steps, ascending steadily until they vanished into the starry skies.

Fu Ya tried to pursue them, but Ren Wang held him back.

The unsealing of the Hong Chen Liu Dao was within his expectations.

Whenever Tian Mo invaded, the two of them would react. Though muddled, their rage toward the Tian Mo remained unextinguished, awakening their latent killing intent.

Fortunately, Tian Xuan Gate had hidden Ruo Xi away early, or they might have clashed again. Unable to find Ruo Xi, they would at least target the Tian Mo instead of their own.

As predicted, once in the starry skies, the Hong Chen Liu Dao rampaged like untamed horses, slaughtering any Tian Mo in sight.

At the edge of the star river, the two parted ways. One charging toward Qian Kun Mo Di, the other toward Hei Lian Mo Di. They advanced unstoppable, with no Tian Mo able to block their path.

"Ye Chen?"

Many Zhu Tian cultivators caught sight of them from afar, their eyes lighting up.

"It's Hong Chen."

"It's Liu Dao."

The veteran experts had sharper eyes. Ye Chen wouldn't move with such clumsiness, and they detected no Sheng Ti aura.

Even so, it was enough to invigorate them.

The strength of the Hong Chen Liu Dao was no joke. Though their connection to Ye Chen was unclear, they were fiercely formidable in battle.

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous boom, Liu Dao struck first, his foot shattering the starry skies. Like a puppet, he said nothing and launched an attack, his fist piercing through the vast cosmos.

His punch was overwhelmingly powerful, even forcing Qian Kun Mo Di to grunt in pain.

"Your husband is as ferocious as ever!"

Sheng Zun spat blood, gravely wounded, yet still teasing Di Ji.

Di Ji's eyes grew misty in an instant, having once called out to Liu Dao without response.

"How interesting."

Qian Kun Mo Di chuckled ominously. With the insight of a great emperor, he seemed to see through Liu Dao's secrets. He bore the backlash of time and space, not belonging to this era.

"Go destroy the Qing Tian Mo Zhu."

Lao Jun transmitted a message to Liu Dao, and the other quasi-emperors echoed the same. Even with Liu Dao's strength, and now his addition, defeating Qian Kun Mo Di would be tough. They had to destroy the Mo Zhu first, and Liu Dao might just succeed.

Liu Dao remained silent and took another step, shattering the heavens as he continued his assault on Qian Kun Mo Di.

This time, his luck was poor. The Mo Di's palm strike exploded his divine body.

Witnessing this, the quasi-emperors, each dragging their bloodied and wounded forms, swarmed Qian Kun Mo Di again, pinning him in the void.

Yuan Shi Tian Zun didn't join. He withdrew from the battlefield immediately. With one Hong Chen arriving, one could be spared. Though Hong Chen wasn't targeting the Mo Zhu, at least someone could go.

He left, emperor weapon in hand.

Accompanying him were Jiang Tai Gong and the veteran immortal venerables of Tian Jie, all infused with refined essence, restored to their youth, and brimming with peak power. They regrouped the Zhu Tian expeditionary forces and charged toward the Tian Huang direction.

Boom!

At the far end of the starry skies, Hong Chen had arrived as well.

His actions mirrored Liu Dao's exactly. No preamble, just an all-out attack. Even the formidable Hei Lian Mo Di was forced to stagger back half a step.

"How intriguing."

The female emperor smirked slightly. Just as Qian Kun Mo Di had seen through Liu Dao, she discerned Hong Chen's strangeness. He was muddled and afflicted by time and space backlash.

"Don't waste time. Go destroy the Mo Zhu."

Zao Hua Shen Wang sent a message, and the divine generals and rulers called out as well, hoping Hong Chen would turn his focus to the Qing Tian Mo Zhu. They could deal with the rest later.

But Hong Chen ignored them.

Perhaps it was because the Tian Mo female emperor was too alluring or exuded too much demonic charm. He was fixated on her, relentlessly attacking despite being outmatched, and completely deaf to the quasi-emperors' calls.

Sigh!

Zao Hua Shen Wang sighed and withdrew from the battlefield, streaking like divine light toward the Qing Tian Mo Zhu.

Many followed suit, all veterans.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

After a brief lull, the fighting resumed. With Hong Chen Liu Dao joining, the tide didn't turn. Mid-level great emperors were too strong, and the peak powerhouses bled frequently.

Yuan Shi Tian Zun and Zao Hua Shen Wang's group also fought desperately, but every star domain they reached was blocked by Tian Mo armies. Their followers dwindled one by one. At this rate, they wouldn't even glimpse the Qing Tian Mo Zhu before being wiped out.

Watching the illusionary water screen, Ren Wang's face paled another shade. Without destroying the Qing Tian Mo Zhu, everything was futile.

Boom!

Suddenly, a massive boom shook the universe.

Then, an extreme Dao emperor's might spread from the edge of the cosmos, extending infinitely through the starry skies.

"Another emperor?"

The peak powerhouses paled, and the Zhu Tian cultivators turned their heads, their hearts turning ice-cold. Two great emperors were already a struggle. A third would be catastrophic.

Boom! Rumble!

From the edge of the universe, demonic energy surged, carrying hordes of monsters into the starry skies.

"What is that?"

"Monsters?"

The Zhu Tian cultivators in that region retreated in panic, their eyes bulging.

They had thought it was Tian Mo, but it wasn't.

These were terrifying monsters, identical to the one Ye Chen had captured for refining the Huan Hun Dan. Equally sinister and frightening.

"The E Mo great emperor has descended upon the Zhu Tian."

The desolate voice was majestic and icy.

Amid the surging demonic energy, a pitch-black monster emerged slowly, towering at seven or eight zhang tall. Its body was covered in scales, with a massive head, a single blood-red eye, six arms, clawed feet, and a tail like a dragon's. Emperor Dao laws coiled around it, accompanied by dreadful visions. Its rolling eyes embodied pure destruction.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Its steps were heavy, making the star dome tremble.

Behind it, the skies were filled with similar monsters, brandishing war spears, their forms menacing beyond description. Like ghosts crawled from hell, forming a black ocean that engulfed swathes of the starry skies.

The Zhu Tian cultivators looked ghastly pale, their weapon-gripping hands trembling as they backed away step by step. Facing an emperor and a sky full of monsters was too horrifying.

"What on earth are those monsters?"

Before the illusionary water screen, Fu Ya's voice trembled. Even through the screen, he could see the E Mo great emperor and the E Mo armies.

Ren Wang said nothing, his eyes bloodshot as he desperately searched his memories for the monsters' identity and their connection to the Tian Mo. With the Tian Mo invasion came these monsters, even including an emperor, plus the red Qing Tian Mo Zhu. He had never seen anything like it.

"Give me the location."

The void transmission divine stone vibrated, a voice resounding through it.

Hearing this, Ren Wang's eyes lit up instantly.

It was Ye Chen's voice.

Without hesitation, Ren Wang sent a transmission, providing the directions of the three Mo Zhu and the positions of the three great emperors.

"I'll handle Tian Huang."

Xiu Luo Tian Zun, gripping his divine blade, raced toward the western star domain.

"I'll handle the far end of the starry skies."

Hun Dun Ti, holding the Da Shen Whip, charged toward the eastern starry skies.

Ye Chen and Ji Ning Shuang headed straight for the northern edge of the universe. One to fight the emperor, the other to destroy the Mo Zhu.
