Chapter 2771: Half-Step Great Completion vs. Mid-Level Great Emperor

"Kill! Spare no one!"

The Tianmo army surged forward like a tide, shattering mountains and rivers.

The Zhutian forces were at a disadvantage.

Peak Dou Di realm experts were falling one after another. The cultivators fighting against the Tianmo soldiers and generals were being annihilated in droves, unable to withstand the Tianmo's onslaught.

"At any cost, destroy the magic pillar."

In the Western Starry Sky, Yuan Shi Tian Zun wielded an imperial artifact, leading the charge and sacrificing his origin without hesitation.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Accompanied by thunderous roars, one Venerable Quasi-Emperor after another self-destructed, dragging Tianmo foes to the underworld in their final moments, forcibly blasting open a bloody path.

However, this was far from enough.

There were too many Tianmo, stretching endlessly into the horizon.

Moreover, dark domain gates were continuously rising, each one spewing forth tidal waves of ferocious and sinister Tianmo.

Boom!

Xiu Luo Tian Zun arrived, accompanied by an ultimate imperial weapon—the Holy Ape Clan's Wujin iron staff, which he transformed into a divine blade in his hand.

This mad hero was extraordinarily domineering; with a casual swing of his blade, he unleashed a saber light over 100,000 zhang long, obliterating countless Tianmo into ashes.

"Where is my little junior brother?"

Seeing Kuang Yingjie, Yuan Shi Tian Zun crossed the heavens to approach.

"Full of life and energy."

Kuang Yingjie replied casually.

One was Xiu Luo Tian Zun, the other Yuan Shi Tian Zun; standing one on the left and one on the right, each holding an immortal sword in one hand and a divine blade in the other, they joined forces to assault the Tianmo army.

Battle!

Behind them, the cultivators of the Human Realm, the immortal lords of the Heavenly Realm, and the nether generals of the Nether Realm were filled with soaring battle intent, following their steps and charging forward relentlessly.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

In the Eastern Starry Domain, the booms were no less intense.

The arriving Chaos Body had joined forces with the God King of Creation, both wielding imperial artifacts and leading the strong from the Three Realms, carving out a bloody path of conquest.

"Hold him back."

Sheng Zun and the numerous peak experts gritted their teeth, firmly blocking the Qiankun Magic Emperor in the ethereal void. With the Chaos Body returned, Xiu Luo Tian Zun returned, and Da Chu's Ten Emperors along with Dong Shen Yao Chi surely back as well, they now had the capital to fight the third emperor and assault the magic pillar. They only needed to entangle the Qiankun Magic Emperor until the others could destroy the towering magic pillar.

"Hold her back."

On the other side, the emperors, divine generals, and Yanluo were all fighting desperately. Though the Tianmo Female Emperor was strikingly beautiful, no one showed her mercy; that woman was fiercely savage, and they had no need to pity her. They didn't dare hope to slay the Black Lotus Female Emperor, but holding her at bay would suffice.

They were also waiting—for the magic pillar to collapse. Without the magic pillar's support, they might have a chance to eliminate the emperors.

Boom! Boom!

In the northern Zhutian region, the roars never ceased.

Gazing into the distance, the E Mo were like a black carpet of monstrous beings, truly living up to their name as harbingers of calamity, bringing disaster wherever they went; vast expanses of starry sky collapsed, stars exploded one after another, and the once beautiful mountains and rivers were left in ruins.

As for the Zhutian cultivators, they were in full retreat, unable to block the E Mo's assault or withstand the E Mo Great Emperor's pressure.

That emperor was like a god of death; in any domain he set foot in, no living beings survived. Even peak Quasi-Emperors who were tainted by his aura were sucked dry into husks, and countless cultivators were ground to dust by the imperial demonic energy while fleeing.

"Ants."

The E Mo Great Emperor smirked slightly, unleashing another palm strike that obliterated an entire star domain; within it, whether stars or living beings, all turned to ash in an instant.

"How dull."

The emperor's majesty was supreme; he raised his hand for another strike.

Boom! Boom!

Before his palm could fall, the heavens and earth were already crumbling.

That palm was enormous, covering the starry sky and blotting out the world's light.

The cultivators in that star region gazed upon it in despair; unless something unexpected happened, they would all perish under the emperor's palm, their bodies and spirits destroyed in a flash.

But at that moment, a golden fist suddenly appeared, blasting in from the distant starry sky with overwhelming dominance, piercing through the heavens and earth with the power to destroy all.

Boom!

The sky-covering imperial hand shattered on the spot, and even the E Mo Great Emperor was forced to stagger back.

Gulp!

The people swallowed hard; that was a Zhongjie Great Emperor, yet he was repelled by a single punch. How powerful must the attacker be? Was it another Great Emperor?

It wasn't a Great Emperor, but there was a Banbu Dacheng Saint Body; he stepped through the vast starry river, advancing through the air. In his Blood Successor Limit state, his demonic aura surpassed even that of the E Mo Great Emperor, like a supreme demon god.

"Saint Body?"

The Zhutian cultivators were overwhelmingly excited upon seeing him.

He was so radiant, like a sun dispelling the darkness; his golden light illuminated the entire world, bearing the hopes of all living beings.

"How interesting."

The E Mo Great Emperor's single eye shifted, gleaming with excitement; finally, an ant worthy of catching his eye had arrived, making this great war no longer as tedious as he imagined.

Ye Chen steadied himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He had thought the third emperor was a Tianmo Emperor, but now he realized it was a sinister monster, a monster that had achieved the Dao as an emperor.

He didn't know what their relationship was with the Tianmo or what ties they had with the lineage of the Ancient Saint Body; that blood-red, piercing Towering Magic Pillar was even more demonic than the black one.

"Over there, there's another female Tianmo Emperor."

Ren Wang sent a message, along with an image; in the image, the Black Lotus Female Emperor was extraordinarily fierce, hammering the Quasi-Emperors into the air across the sky.

Ye Chen saw it and raised an eyebrow.

Like the emperors and divine generals, this was his first time seeing a female Tianmo Emperor, and she was quite beautiful.

"What pure blood essence."

Across the starry river, the E Mo Great Emperor licked his scarlet tongue, his blood-red eyes fixed on Ye Chen like a wolf eyeing a roasted lamb leg.

As an emperor, he recognized the Ancient Saint Body and knew about its origins; whether the first lineage or the second, they had ancient ties with the Tianmo and Domain E Mo.

What slightly surprised him was that the Saint Body of the second lineage could unlock the Blood Successor Limit.

"A one-on-one fight."

Ye Chen said indifferently, like a divine ray shooting into the vast expanse; with his Quasi-Emperor peak cultivation, he forcibly opened the Great Dao Supreme Heaven, far removed from the mortal world.

It wasn't only emperors who could create an imperial battlefield; with imperial-level combat power, one could open it by force.

"Overestimating yourself."

The E Mo Great Emperor sneered eerily, stepping across the void to ascend to the Great Dao Supreme Heaven.

Boom! Boom!

One great emperor and one saint body, one hovering in the east and one standing in the west, faced off across the sky, both exuding world-ending pressure that made the Supreme Heaven rumble.

"Boss, can you handle it?"

The Chaos Cauldron darted out, hovering above Ye Chen's head.

"As you said, the boss is unbeatable."

Also emerging was the Chaos Fire, transforming into a golden fire dragon that circled Ye Chen's saint body, its dragon roar resounding powerfully.

These two had quite the knack for comedy.

Ye Chen didn't respond, only staring at the E Mo Great Emperor.

Could he handle it?

This was a serious question.

And he knew the answer all too well.

A Zhongjie Great Emperor was definitely beyond him; he was merely at Quasi-Emperor peak, just half a step from Dacheng. He could manage a Chujie Great Emperor, but a Zhongjie one was another story—the difference in power was like night and day. Even with the Blood Successor Limit activated, he wasn't a match for a Zhongjie emperor.

However, if the Towering Magic Pillar were destroyed, it would be a different matter; a Zhongjie Great Emperor without origin support would barely be within his limits.

Boom!

The E Mo Great Emperor moved, instantly closing in with six hands extended, each firing a divine beam.

Ye Chen didn't dodge.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Blood sprayed as his powerful saint body was instantly pierced with six bloody holes. But he didn't come out empty-handed; with a domineering punch, he slammed into the E Mo Great Emperor's chest, causing the Zhongjie emperor's indestructible body to cave in with a crack of imperial bones.

"I underestimated you."

The E Mo Great Emperor grinned menacingly, shooting yuan Shen swords from his eyes toward Ye Chen's true form.

Roar!

The Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons appeared at once, shattering the yuan Shen swords; the eight divine dragons swung their tails together, striking the E Mo Great Emperor.

Awkwardly, the Saint Body's domineering divine repository failed to shake the E Mo emperor's body; instead, it backfired, causing the eight divine dragons to explode, and Ye Chen to spit blood.

His dragon tail strike didn't work, but the E Mo Great Emperor's did; with one dragon tail, he nearly exploded Ye Chen.

Ye Chen grunted and fled through the sky; his Blood Successor Limit allowed him to heal the finger wounds and regenerate his fractured body instantly.

In a flash, he summoned his Saint War Dharma Body; a one-on-one fight wouldn't cut it—he needed to gang up.

"The old man is unbeatable!"

The Saint War Dharma Body was also a comedian, howling as soon as it appeared.

But then, it dissipated.

Yes, it dissipated, because the E Mo Great Emperor merely glanced at it, and it vanished in an instant.

Ye Chen was shocked; in all the times he'd summoned a dharma body, this was the most embarrassing—one sentence and it was gone. This made him highly wary of the E Mo Great Emperor's eyes; it seemed to be a innate divine ability targeting external dharma bodies, extinguishing them with a look.

"Come now! Fuse with me!"

The E Mo Great Emperor laughed sinisterly, opening his maw wide with a vortex forming inside, pitch-black and seemingly connected to the Nine Serenities on the other side.

Because of that vortex, the Supreme Heaven rumbled; snake-like lightning bolts were sucked dry, possessing the power to devour heavens and earth.

Ye Chen couldn't steady himself and was pulled toward it on the spot; the vortex was irresistible and un reversable. His surging blood essence and demonic aura were all being devoured; if sucked in, he would surely perish.

In a split second, Ye Chen used the Flying Thunder God technique to escape forcibly, then struck down with a heavenly Dao sword enhanced by imperial essence and Chaos principles, cleaving through the heavens and earth.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out clearly.

That domineering Dao sword only left shallow marks on the E Mo Great Emperor's body, as if striking iron; Ye Chen was shaken so that his arms exploded, and he staggered back again.

"Ants are still ants."

The E Mo Great Emperor bared his pale teeth; before Ye Chen could steady himself, he appeared like a ghost, extending a sinister demonic hand toward Ye Chen's head.

Instantly, Ye Chen used the Imperial Ethereal technique.

Unfortunately, it was ineffective against the E Mo Great Emperor; even his Eternal Moment was countered by the emperor's power.

Buzz!

The Chaos Cauldron buzzed and loyally protected its master, ramming in to block the emperor's strike; its massive, sturdy body nearly shattered on the spot.
