243: Chapter 242 Great Battle 2

Boom...

The ancient bell was vibrating.

The Great Emperor Holding the Bell's expression changed; he forcibly channeled his Divine Soul power, wanting to suppress the old man.

But the old man was too strong.

Even though it had been injured by the Sutra of Salvation, it remained incredibly ferocious, striking the ancient bell again and again; as the number of strikes increased,

cracks appeared on the ancient bell, and it clearly could no longer hold out.

Sigh...

The Great Emperor Holding the Bell sighed softly, having no choice but to retract the ancient bell and release the old man.

"This trinket cannot suppress this old man."

The old man glanced indifferently at the ancient bell, a trace of imperceptible wariness in its eyes.

Although the ancient bell could not completely suppress it,

it was able to injure it, which was an extremely rare occurrence; the old man had almost forgotten when it was last injured.

"Then what about this cauldron of mine!"

The Heavenly Emperor gave a soft shout, and a giant cauldron, carrying overwhelming might, pressed down directly.

The old man snorted coldly: "How many years have passed? Now, any stray cat or dog dares to come and trample on this old man."

Seeing the giant cauldron pressing down directly,

it did not dodge.

It stretched out its hands, wanting to lift the giant cauldron directly and forcibly withstand this blow.

But the moment it made contact with the giant cauldron, its old face changed instantly; this person's Divine Soul combat power was even above that of The Great Emperor Holding the Bell.

Just by touching the giant cauldron,

that terrifying immense force was not much different from its own.

How could this be a Cultivator who had just achieved a Breakthrough in the Ascension realm?

It was simply a monster.

Boom...

The Heavenly Emperor took a step down, stepping directly onto the top of the giant cauldron.

And the old man holding the cauldron, under this blow, shuddered all over; amidst a cracking sound, its hand bones shattered, and it was violently pressed down by the giant cauldron.

"Damn it, why is your Divine Soul power so terrifying..." The old man carried the cauldron, its eyes practically spitting fire.

"It is because you are too weak. In the endless Reincarnation years, you have not sought to improve, and your power is nothing more than this."

A cold glint flared in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes.

The force under its feet became even more surging.

"Hehe... When this old man was invincible in the world, this heaven and earth did not even have the likes of you yet. Get lost." The old man gave a furious roar.

Amidst the purple light shooting into the sky,

it violently flipped the giant cauldron over.

Immediately, it threw a punch, a terrifying immense force erupting and instantly blasting towards the Heavenly Emperor above.

The Void Realm vibrated, and the clouds shattered.

The power contained in the old man's furious blow was unimaginable.

But the Heavenly Emperor was somewhat disdainful: "Old ghost, your Dao cultivation is still not enough."

Having said that,

it smashed down with a punch of its own.

Boom...

The two fists collided.

Heaven and earth trembled, and endless auspicious signs were shattered by the aftermath, turning into the original Divine Soul power.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Heavenly Emperor retreated in the Void Realm, but only took three steps back, nothing more.

"Young man, your power is the only one this old man has ever seen in its life. Are you sure you do not want to rule the world together with this old man? Do you know that outside the world, it is actually not a void?"

"Why waste words? Your existence is a mistake, and we are here to clear this mistake."

The Heavenly Emperor had absolutely no intention of negotiating with the old man.

Regardless of what is outside the world, the old man must die; its existence is the greatest malice in the world.

Hehehe...

The Empress arrived.

Along with her came that incomparably eerie laughter.

"Killing you, everything will end. Please, go on your way."

"Little girl, the world's Reincarnation is endless. Even if you can join forces to kill this old man today, what then?"

There was a hint of reminiscence in the old man's eyes.

It ignored the eerie laughter and continued to speak: "The greatest evil in the world is not this old man, but the human heart. Back then, this old man also guarded the world for countless years, and also fought bloody battles at the Other Shore Highland, but..."

"There are no 'buts'. Please, go on your way."

The Empress could not be bothered to listen further; the stone jar in her hand vibrated, and a purple light instantly shot out from the stone jar, blasting fiercely towards the old man.

Boom...

The old man sighed softly, crushed the purple light with one hand, and shook its head slightly.

It looked at the Heavenly Emperor.

There was a trace of helplessness in its weathered eyes: "You are very similar to this old man back then, ridiculously strong. But when the path ahead is severed, and one can only rely on the power of all living beings to move forward again, can you hold on?"

"How future generations fare is a matter for future generations. Now, I will slay you."

The Heavenly Emperor spoke coldly, without the empathy the old man had hoped to see.

Hum...

Amidst the trembling of heaven and earth,

the intense battle erupted once again.

Among the three Emperors, the Heavenly Emperor was the main attacker, with the Empress and The Great Emperor Holding the Bell assisting.

Although they could not kill the old man,

they were evenly matched in the fight.

...

...

Other Shore Highland.

The battle here was even more intense.

Heaven and earth were shattered, and the entire Other Shore Highland had almost completely turned into the Void Realm.

If it were not for the fact that both sides were unwilling to fight at the location of the three Emperors' shells, they were afraid that even the Physical Body of the three Emperors could not have been preserved.

"The entrance to that Divine Soul battlefield might just be at the location of the three Emperors."

After Ye Xiu blocked the old man's attack with a sword, there was a trace of realization in his eyes.

They had been fighting for hundreds of years.

The entire Other Shore Highland had been fought away, but the location of the three Emperors' Physical Body remained unscathed.

From this, many things could be determined.

"Brat, weren't you very arrogant before? Continue fighting." The old man glared with a pair of crimson eyes, chasing after Ye Xiu.

"Heh... As if I'm afraid of you."

Sword light flickered, and heaven and earth were eclipsed.

The old man snorted disdainfully, not fearing this kind of sword light at all; after it forcibly blasted open the sword light,

it saw that Ye Xiu at this moment was gathering an even more terrifying attack.

[Divine Technique! Divine Soul Flame]

As the ancient rune gathered,

a flame capable of burning the Divine Soul instantly ignited in the Void Realm, and in just a moment, it had already set the entire Other Shore Highland ablaze.

"Brat, I have to admit, your technique is indeed remarkable, but... your Physical Body is too weak."

The old man's blood energy soared to the sky.

It forcibly condensed a blood-colored barrier outside its body to resist the burning of the Divine Soul Flame.

"Weak? Then how about this move."

Ye Xiu said calmly, and as an ancient rune gathered in the Void Realm again, the flames filling the sky all surged into Ye Xiu's body.

His entire body, under the shroud of flames, erupted with brilliant colorful light.

"This is the convergence of Divine Fire. Old ghost, you cannot defeat me. A shell without a Divine Soul is, in the end, just a shell."

Kill!

A soft shout fell.

Ye Xiu's figure had instantly disappeared.

Boom...

In its shock and suspicion, the old man was directly blasted away by a punch.

"You are too weak."

Ye Xiu's voice carried a faint mocking tone, and his figure disappeared again; even with the old man's strength, it did not discover his figure.

"Physical Body evolving into Divine Soul, good brat, you can actually reach such a level."

The old man's face was extremely grave; it had not expected that the other party actually possessed such terrifying means.

If it were normal times, naturally it would be nothing.

But at this moment,

it was in a state without a Divine Soul.

This was extremely fatal.
