216: Chapter 216 How could the Desolate Emperor still be alive?

However, after the Flood Dragon Great Emperor, no one in the Flood Dragon Clan could transform from a flood dragon into a dragon; thus, it became an ancient myth!

The Silver-haired Cultivator before them had actually taught himself and directly learned the Tribulation Cloud Devouring Tempering Method! Moreover, he had even formed the five dragons perfect golden thunder pill!

The Tribulation Cloud Devouring Tempering Method is the highest-level core secret of the Flood Dragon Clan. This secret is not allowed to be mastered by any foreign Cultivators, let alone the most greedy human Cultivators!

Once the Tribulation Cloud Devouring Tempering Method spreads, the Tribulation Clouds will surely be fought over and devoured by various Sect forces!

Then the Flood Dragon Clan would return to the bottom of the Cultivation World and soon be exterminated by their enemies!

Therefore, the Silver-haired Cultivator before him must die!

The Old Man in Black Robe, with his white hair and beard, suddenly exerted force under his feet, turning into a streak of black light. His withered old hands' veins suddenly bulged, forming eagle claws that left several black afterimages in the Void Realm as he clawed fiercely toward Jiang Lan's face!

Now that Jiang Lan was at the critical moment of Core Formation, his body could not move at all!

Jiang Lan's face changed greatly, the veins on his forehead bulging. A suffocating sense of oppression made him unable to breathe! It was as if someone were tearing at his scalp, kicking him into a coffin, nailing it shut with twelve steel nails, and then burying it ten thousand meters deep underground!

Despair, helplessness, and suffocation followed one after another!

Before an absolute gap in strength, all combat techniques, Magic Treasures, and Talismanic Incantations were like the rising kitchen smoke between rural houses in the morning—ethereal and fleeting, dispersing with a gentle morning breeze!

Suddenly!

Boom!

A sound like ancient stones colliding exploded like heavenly thunder from the depths of the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm, soaring into the sky!

In the Side Hall of the Emperor's Tomb, the lids of one white and one black Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin sarcophagi were sent flying by a palm strike!

One white and one black figure stepped out from the ancient Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin, turning into two streaks of light. They left several afterimages in the Void Realm, tearing through the air and creating wisps of white smoke as they charged toward the Old Man in Black Robe!

The Old Man in Black Robe, with his white hair and beard, had veins bulging on his forehead and a ruthless expression. A sinister curve hooked his lips as he thrust his withered ghost claws fiercely toward Jiang Lan.

Suddenly!

The pupils of the Old Man in Black Robe suddenly shrank, and his face changed drastically! With an expression as if he had seen a ghost, he turned around and began to flee toward the Hanzhou Continent!

The Old Man in Black Robe sacrificed over a dozen Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans in succession. While spitting blood, he looked back toward the Taixu Realm with a terrified expression.

The front of the Old Man in Black Robe's chest was completely soaked in blood, forming dark red rose-like patterns that looked particularly sinister and terrifying under the moonlight!

The Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talisman travels extremely fast and far, but the price is the consumption of the Cultivator's lifeblood essence. The Old Man in Black Robe had used more than a dozen in a row and had already suffered severe internal injuries!

Abruptly!

The face of the Old Man in Black Robe suddenly turned ashen, and he actually took out dozens of Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans all at once!

Generally speaking, using three Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans at once would leave internal injuries requiring at least decades of recovery.

Using ten Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans in a row would be life-threatening!

The Old Man in Black Robe had already used more than a dozen Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans this time. Now, his internal organs were covered with spider-web-like cracks, and blood was constantly seeping out!

If he sacrificed dozens of Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans again, he would most likely die from his body exploding!

But he had no choice. Two Emperors, one black and one white, were chasing him, and their flight speed was extremely fast. If he were caught, he would surely die!

There were rumors that the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the eighteen Emperors in the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm were merely sleeping and had not truly died.

Naturally, the Old Man in Black Robe did not believe it. Heroes eventually fade, and youths eventually grow old; no one can escape the ravages of time!

Even the Lifespan of an Emperor Realm powerhouse is only a mere fifty thousand years. In the river of time of the Cultivation World, which spans hundreds of millions of years, it is like a mayfly born between heaven and earth—born in the morning and dying by dusk!

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor has been fallen for over fifty thousand years; how could he still be alive?

However, it seemed now that two Emperors were indeed still alive, and they were currently chasing him!

The pupils of the Old Man in Black Robe shrank suddenly, and he gritted his teeth, sacrificing all dozens of Pseudo-Emperor Realm Blood Escape Talismans at once!

Abruptly!

Over a dozen explosions soared into the sky. The Old Man in Black Robe's arms, back, legs, and ankles all exploded simultaneously like dynamite!

Shreds of flesh mixed with warm blood splattered out! A metallic, rust-like scent of blood instantly filled the air!

The Old Man in Black Robe instantly turned into a blood-red streak of light, drawing a bright red arc in the Void Realm. He flew over eighty thousand miles in one breath and plunged into the cold waters of the Hanzhou Continent.

Blood slowly spread in the cold seawater like red ink, painting a stroke of bright red in the chilly moonlight, blooming like a blood-red rose in the deep sea!

The Old Man in Black Robe's face was deathly pale. A sweet taste filled his mouth, and after spitting out another mouthful of old blood, he fainted on the spot!

In the Void Realm eighty thousand miles west of the Central Continent, two figures, one white and one black, stood on two great swords. Tearing through the air with a metallic humming vibration, they sped toward the Hanzhou Continent!

The two individuals, one white and one black, had their sleeves fluttering and their robes snapping like war flags, with the pattern of Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin embroidered on their backs!

The expressions of the two were slightly grim, for no other reason than—

Both had clearly used the Void Rending Technique space art three times, covering eighty thousand miles in an instant, yet the Old Man in Black Robe had still managed to escape back to the Hanzhou Continent right under their noses!

One must know that the Ten Earths basically all have Guardian Venerables and Guardian Formations deployed by former Emperor Realm powerhouses during their lifetimes.

If they were to forcibly break through the boundaries to kill someone, it would be extremely troublesome even for these two powerhouses, and they might even get injured if things went wrong.

An Emperor's Divine Sense can cover over a million miles, so the Old Man in Black Robe had naturally been locked on by their Divine Sense the entire time.

Although the Old Man in Black Robe was currently on the verge of death, he was not dead after all, which was why the black and white duo continued to fly rapidly toward the Hanzhou Continent.

The Old Man in Black Robe must die today; the reason was simple.

First, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor was about to wake up. During the awakening process, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is at his most vulnerable; no powerhouses are allowed within a radius of a hundred thousand miles!

If the Heavenly Emperor were affected by the aftershocks of battle during his awakening process,

Disturbing his Heart-Nature, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor might very likely never wake up again!

One must know that cultivation is inherently Heaven-Defying; the slightest carelessness can lead to being shattered to pieces, let alone being an enemy of time!

If the Old Man in Black Robe did not die today, then various forces within the Ten Earths would think the Ancient Desolate Secret Realm is a soft persimmon that anyone could come and trample on!
