Chapter 2994: Pay with His Life

A thunderous rumble echoed through the heavens, shaking the entire Taigu Road.

In the Yong Heng space, the battle raged on. It was clear that Can Zhou had fallen to a disadvantage, his bloodline power gradually fading, while the Heavenly Court Female Emperor fought with increasing ferocity, her Yong Heng light dazzling and brilliant.

The sight of the holy demon shedding blood inspired the assembled emperors and divine generals, filling them with excitement.

Crack!

Suddenly, a faint cracking sound rang out, more startling than the thunder. It came from the Hun Dun Ding, which had split open with a fissure.

"Old big."

The words from the Hun Dun Ding carried a sob, and the Hun Dun Fire and Hun Dun Thunder also lost their usual vitality. Their calls were weak and filled with grief, their once radiant immortal glow now dimmed to near nothing. Their powerful aura withered in an instant.

This scene made the hearts of the emperors and divine generals tremble.

Everyone present understood what it meant: Ye Chen had perished, and as his owner fell, it had affected his life-bound artifact, the Hun Dun Fire, and the Hun Dun Thunder, bringing them perilously close to destruction.

In that moment, the divine generals and emperors all turned pale.

Many had tears welling up, many choked back sobs, and the women wept with tear-streaked faces.

"How could this be?"

Even the Female Emperor, still in battle, spoke with a frail voice. Her once indifferent eyes were instantly clouded with mist, the immortal light reflecting like frost. Two lines of crystalline tears traced down her peerless features.

They were the tears of Chu Xuan and Chu Ling, as well as of Wulei and Ruoxi.

As the tears fell, the Female Emperor's aura became unstable. The palm she struck at Can Zhou, which should have carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, lost its force in that instant.

Once again, her momentum plummeted, signaling an impending separation.

Across from her, Can Zhou's eyes flashed with insight. He didn't know what had happened, but he sensed the Female Emperor was in trouble, her fused state on the verge of breaking.

Strike while she's weak, finish her off.

Can Zhou grinned viciously, reshaping his demonic form and activating multiple forbidden techniques on top of his bloodline. Demonic energy surged wildly, intertwined with destructive light, painting a terrifying scene like the end of days.

Thud!

The Female Emperor spat blood, sent flying by a spear thrust. Her immortal body cracked, fresh blood spraying out. Before she could steady herself, Can Zhou was upon her again, his finger piercing her brow and severely wounding her primordial spirit, nearly causing her to separate on the spot. The blood-stained Yong Heng immortal light not only dimmed but also grew unstable.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

What followed was utterly grim. The Female Emperor coughed up blood repeatedly, plummeting from the sky time and again. Her beautiful figure, bathed in fresh blood, was beaten by Can Zhou until she could barely stand.

"Exterminate."

Can Zhou laughed savagely, thrusting his spear with devastating force.

The Female Emperor forcibly teleported, dragging her blood-soaked immortal body to barely evade it.

"Don't rush, there's more."

Can Zhou smirked, sending a primordial spirit demonic sword from his brow, striking her primordial spirit a second time.

"You will repay with your life for him."

This piercing cry, though from the Female Emperor's lips, came from Chu Xuan and Chu Ling. She stabilized herself with sheer will, striking back with a palm that sent Can Zhou flying. Her hair disheveled, she had become a madwoman, attacking without regard for cost. She blood-sacrificed her lifespan repeatedly, battering Can Zhou until his blood and bones scattered, his already weakened bloodline limit fading even faster until it vanished completely.

"Even without immortality, I'll slaughter you all the same."

Can Zhou had gone mad too, his scarlet eyes flashing with savage light as he attacked more fiercely than ever.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The battle between the heavenly emperors had abandoned all defense, a mutual slaughter where each harmed the enemy at great cost to themselves.

In the small world, the emperors tried to emerge but were blocked by the Yong Heng barrier.

Blood colored the entire alternate space, with ancient and destructive visions forming the most bloody landscape.

In the end, the Female Emperor fell behind, unable to sustain her fused state any longer.

"Die!" Can Zhou's face twisted in rage as he teleported and thrust his spear through the Heavenly Court Female Emperor.

"You will repay with your life for him."

Tears filled the Female Emperor's eyes, blood surging from her mouth as she gripped the war spear tightly. From her brow, Yong Heng immortal light gathered into a brilliant primordial spirit immortal sword, ignoring Can Zhou's demonic body and targeting his primordial spirit directly. This was her final strike before separation, channeling all her remaining power, accumulated Yong Heng energy, and intertwined divine forces into a true killing blow.

Thud!

Emperor-level blood light blazed. Can Zhou's head exploded halfway, his body scattering blood and bones as he staggered back.

The Female Emperor shook as she retreated unsteadily.

Now, her entire body had extinguished the Yong Heng energy. She wavered in the void for a moment before plummeting from the sky, separating mid-fall into four individuals: Chu Xuan and Chu Ling, as well as Wulei and Ruoxi.

However, just before the separation, Di Huang, Hong Yan, Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Jian Shen, and Jian Zun had burst out of the small world, all wielding killing swords as they charged at Can Zhou. He was heavily wounded but not yet dead.

"You insignificant emperors dare attack me?"

Can Zhou roared, steadying himself while reshaping his flesh and primordial spirit, then swatting out with a palm.

"Repay with your life for our old big."

The Hun Dun Ding roared, leading the charge. With no elaborate techniques, it surged with Hun Dun energy and wrapped in Yong Heng force, manifesting visions and principles on its own. Channeling all its power, it collided with Can Zhou.

Thud!

Can Zhou's already shattered demonic body nearly exploded from the impact.

It wasn't that the Hun Dun Ding was overwhelmingly powerful; it was that the Female Emperor's prior primordial spirit strike still had eighty percent of its destructive force lingering. The Hun Dun Ding's collision came at just the right moment, disrupting Can Zhou's rebuilding and nearly sending him to the underworld.

In return, the cracks on the Hun Dun Ding multiplied, nearly shattering it.

Break!

Di Huang and Hong Yan attacked from left and right, their fist and palm shattering Can Zhou's fragmented demonic body completely, leaving only a faint primordial spirit for the peak heavenly emperor-level holy demon.

Annihilate!

Xing Tian, Hou Yi, Jian Shen, and Jian Zun's attacks followed, unleashing their peak strikes.

Can Zhou found himself in an awkward position, with no time even to catch his breath. In the past, he would have ignored emperors' attacks, but now was different. With the Female Emperor's Yong Heng still eroding him and destroying his primordial spirit, his current state left him extremely vulnerable, where any disturbance could be fatal.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The four emperors' strikes pierced Can Zhou's primordial spirit simultaneously.

Ah!

The holy demon howled, a wave of silent destruction spreading from him as the center, blasting the six emperors away.

But he was the one truly in ruins.

His primordial spirit was now covered in destructive Yong Heng light, inching toward total dissolution, unstoppable. He could see the god of death smirking at him, with the Nine You as his destination.

Yet, he refused to accept it. If he was going down, he would take others with him.

"Come with me on the road."

In the instant before his primordial spirit collapsed, Can Zhou howled with resentment, echoing through the alternate space.

Boom!

He self-destructed his primordial spirit, six strands of primordial spirit energy striking Di Huang and the others, each transforming into a holy demon blood seal etched onto their primordial spirits, all entwined with demonic light.

Thud! Thud!

Xing Tian and Hou Yi's bodies disintegrated instantly, leaving only faint primordial spirits that began to break apart inch by inch.

Jian Shen and Jian Zun's emperor bodies exploded, their primordial spirits also affected, reduced to mere sparks.

Di Huang and Hong Yan fared no better, their ancient sacred bodies shattering, their primordial spirits nearly collapsing.

The six emperors of the heavens fell like shooting stars from the void.
