199: Chapter 199: The Great Emperor's Decree? Nine War Gods!
As the Starry Sky Chessboard and the phantom disappeared, the scene before him returned to the Emperor Road. Looking at the wide-open Emperor Gate, Jiang Xuan was puzzled. Had Desolate Heaven and the others already entered?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and flashed into the Emperor Palace.
Inside the Emperor Palace, rumbling sounds occasionally echoed, and the aftershocks of a great battle could be felt from afar.
Below the ten Imperial Thrones, Bei Mingtian's expression was arrogant, and the aura of Perfection of a Quasi-Emperor circulated around him, constantly fending off the attacks aimed at him.
He greedily stared at the purple glowing object in Desolate Heaven's hand and sharply said, "Desolate Heaven, I'll give you one more chance. Hand over the purple crystal, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Desolate Heaven glanced at the other party indifferently, completely ignoring him, and instead looked at a groove embedded in each Imperial Throne, its shape identical to the purple crystal.
This should be the key to the final trial of the Emperor Road. Only by obtaining the purple crystal would one be qualified to enter the Imperial Throne and acquire the Great Emperor Dao Fruit!
Bei Mingtian and the others obviously saw the crucial point, but only after passing the challenges behind each bronze door would they obtain a crystal. They had only passed one bronze door, so they certainly wouldn't give up just yet.
With a full ten Great Emperor positions, how could they give up so easily? Seeing Desolate Heaven, who arrived later than them, holding ten purple crystals, their eyes instantly gleamed, and the greed on their faces was like a hungry wolf seeing its prey, unstoppable.
Seeing Desolate Heaven directly ignore him, Bei Mingtian immediately exploded in rage, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Desolate Heaven, I've given you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, today you shall die in this Emperor Palace!"
"Buzz!"
A powerful Great Emperor's pressure descended with that shout. Bei Mingtian slowly extended his palm, and golden runes flowed out from his palm, gradually rising into the Void Realm, with the biting Law of the Sword Dao pervading around the runes.
The terrifying Emperor's might and the golden runes containing the Law of the Sword Dao merged together, forming a golden character full of killing intent in the air: "Slay."
Under the golden afterglow, Bei Mingtian's expression became even more arrogant, and his tone was extremelyArrogant, "The Great Emperor's Edict is here, why do you not surrender!"
Desolate Heaven fanned himself with his folding fan, then suddenly sensed a familiar aura approaching, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth, muttering, "Finally out, aren't they?"
"Clap!"
After speaking, his folding fan snapped shut, and a cold killing intent appeared on his flamboyant face, "No need to hide, let's move!"
Hearing this, Man Dali and the other nine Dao Children's eyes lit up, then they looked at Bei Mingtian and the others with playful expressions.
"Hehe, I've been waiting for that. This old brute nearly choked."
Bei Mingtian suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet. He looked at their eyes, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
But since things had come to this, further thought was useless. With the Great Emperor's Edict in hand, he feared no threat!
"Hmph! Stop acting. Kill you all, and all the Great Emperor Dao positions will be ours. I am the destiny of this generation, die!"
Bei Mingtian's eyes widened in fury, and killing intent erupted around him. The golden character in the Void Realm suddenly descended, and the terrifying Emperor's might carrying the Law of the Sword caused a "rumbling, rumbling" sound in the air.
Below, Man Dali grinned, feeling the pressure from the surrounding Emperor's might, and secretly scoffed, "Just a mere broken edict, watch me smash you!"
As his voice fell, the giant hammer in his hand suddenly transformed, and a new dark red giant hammer was gripped in his hand. The terrifying aura of a Great Emperor's Perfection seemed to crush the surrounding air into powder.
"This is... a top-grade Emperor Weapon!!"
Bei Mingtian and the others' faces instantly changed drastically, looking incredulously at the giant hammer in Man Dali's hand, "How is this possible? How could you have a top-grade Emperor Weapon!"
He simply couldn't believe his eyes. A top-grade Emperor Weapon! How many were there on the entire continent? Even their Hei Ming Sword Sect, as the only Sword Emperor Sect in the world, only had one top-grade Emperor Weapon, which was still in the hands of Old Ancestor Hei Ming, after developing to this day.
How could Man Dali, a mere junior Genius, be worthy of such a thing!
Man Dali looked at their astonished expressions and sneered, "Tsk, you're surprised by this? A bunch of bumpkins who've never seen the world."
When Jiang Xuan left, he gave each of them a top-grade Emperor Weapon. What was this?
After the shock, Bei Mingtian and the others' eyes became incredibly greedy. Their minds instantly lost the ability to think, only wanting to claim this Emperor Weapon for themselves.
"You are not worthy of such a treasure! Let me keep it instead. Suppress him!"
"Boom!" A loud bang echoed as two waves of Emperor's might instantly collided, reverberating throughout the entire Emperor Palace, making people's eardrums ache.
"Hahaha, what if it's a top-grade Emperor Weapon? How much power can a mere Quasi-Emperor exert?"
A hint of smugness flashed in Bei Mingtian's eyes. He possessed the Law bestowed by his Old Ancestor, which contained the Law of the Sword Dao. How could a Quasi-Emperor deal with it? Another top-grade Emperor Weapon might be close, but was that even possible?
However, before he could rejoice, another powerful Emperor's might suddenly burst forth, and the bone-chilling killing intent made him shiver. When he saw the source of the Emperor's might, his face instantly stiffened, "Ho-how is this possible..."
Sword One slowly walked out, his expression cold, a dark longsword in his hand pointing directly at them. Cold light circulated around the sword body, and the terrifying Emperor Dao killing intent sliced the surrounding space into numerous gashes.
"Another top-grade Emperor Weapon...!"
Bei Mingtian swallowed, but before he could react...
"Rumble rumble..."
Terrifying and incomparably powerful Emperor's might appeared one after another. Several light pillars of different colors instantly lit up, and nine figures, each with a different demeanor, stood in the Void Realm holding top-grade Emperor Weapons, like nine battle gods, exuding domineering aura.
Man Dali grinned, the dark red giant hammer on his shoulder, looking down at Bei Mingtian below, "How about it? Now? Surprised? Unexpected? Go on, scream for me again."
Bei Mingtian was already scared silly, his eyes vacant, as if sleepwalking. The Prodigies behind him nearly had their eyeballs pop out, their faces pale, and they all retreated in unison.
"Hehe, if it weren't for not wanting to expose our strength too early, you, Bei Mingtian, would also be qualified to rank ahead of me. Hmph, you've been the second for so long, you should be content. Hit the road, take this hammer!"
With a loud shout from Man Dali, the giant hammer in his hand slammed down! Seeing this, the other few also attacked simultaneously! All nine Emperor Weapons unleashed their power.
"Rumble rumble!" Huge rumbling sounds continuously echoed, thick smoke immediately rose from the ground, the entire Emperor Palace shook for a moment, and cracks appeared on the surrounding walls. If this place weren't the Emperor Palace, built with special Materials, it would have long since turned into a pile of ruins.
After a long while, when the smoke dispersed, an irregular deep pit appeared on the previously flat palace floor, and Bei Mingtian and the others were reduced to a pile of tattered clothes lying quietly on the ground, their bones gone, leaving only a purple crystal floating in the Void Realm.
