361: Chapter 371 The Emperor's Fall! Embrace Evolution!

Patriarch Mu Chuan did not say another word.

"Clang—!"

A longsword formed entirely from lightning tore ferociously through the Void Realm from his palm!

The terrifying pressure of the Middle Stage Emperor Realm erupted. Holding the lightning in his hand, Patriarch Mu Chuan looked like a thunder god descending upon the world. With a sweep of his lightning, the domineering and unparalleled tide of thunder forced the Sword Emperor back ten thousand li!

"Junior, stand back!"

Patriarch Mu Chuan intended to draw the battlefield deep into the Void Realm; otherwise, if two Emperors fought within the territory of the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan, the entire planet, along with the tens of thousands of Cultivators below, would instantly turn to dust.

The Sword Emperor narrowed his eyes, a glint of sinister intent flashing in his depths. He did not forcefully resist but instead followed Patriarch Mu Chuan's momentum, transforming into a streak of blood-colored sword radiance that swept across ten thousand li, instantly departing from the Ten Thousand Sword Ancient Clan.

Boom, boom, boom—!!!

Two streaks of Emperor-level light shot straight into the deepest reaches of the Sword Domain's starry sky.

In the cold and desolate ruins, the battle of the Emperors erupted completely!

What Patriarch Mu Chuan cultivated was the righteous Sword of Thunder.

Every strike of his sword carried the Nine Heavens wild thunder that acted on behalf of the heavens to punish. Golden-purple electric arcs wove into massive lightning nets in the void, instantly vaporizing meteorite clusters spanning hundreds of thousands of li!

As for what the Sword Emperor cultivated, it was the extreme Sword of Killing Intent.

Back in the day, he had excessively imitated the supreme sharpness of the Wuji Sword Emperor, entering the Emperor Realm through extreme sharpness and the Dao of Killing.

Although his sword techniques were extremely fierce and could pierce anything, his Sword Dao charm had long been tightly restricted by the shadow of the Wuji Sword Emperor, making it difficult for him to break through to the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm.

In the Void Realm, lightning and blood-colored radiance collided madly.

One was a giant lightning sword that punished on behalf of the heavens, filled with righteous Qi and heavy as the might of heaven;

The other was a blood-colored killing sword that slaughtered everything, tricky and harsh, with its sharpness fully exposed.

The aftermath of the rules from the Emperors' clash shattered several dead, desolate stars nearby.

However, after a hundred exchanges, the Sword Emperor's expression became increasingly ugly.

He discovered with shock that he was actually unable to suppress Patriarch Mu Chuan in a head-on confrontation at this moment!

Having broken through to the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm, Patriarch Mu Chuan's Thunder Sword Intent was perfect and flawless; he was simply as strong as a monster!

"Boom!"

After an earth-shattering collision, ten thousand li of the Void Realm completely collapsed.

The Sword Emperor's figure flew backward for a thousand zhang. He took a deep breath, then slowly put away the blood-colored longsword in his hand, staring fixedly at Patriarch Mu Chuan, who was enveloped in a sea of lightning.

"Patriarch Mu Chuan, I really didn't expect you to be this strong..."

The Sword Emperor spoke coldly, his tone carrying a trace of complexity: "Actually, I came here in person this time specifically to find you."

"Find me?"

Patriarch Mu Chuan held his sword with one hand, thousands of lightning bolts whistling around him, the ear-piercing sound of electric arcs constant.

He looked coldly at the other party, his vigilance raised to the highest level.

"Patriarch Mu Chuan, have you ever witnessed true despair?"

The Sword Emperor did not answer, instead asking quietly with a desolate expression.

Electric arcs flashed at the corner of Patriarch Mu Chuan's eyes as he said in a deep voice: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"You have also been to the front lines to fight the Realm Demons. Do you think... our Star Domain can really win?" The Sword Emperor asked again, his tone filled with a suffocating Death Qi.

Patriarch Mu Chuan was silent for a long moment. He tightened his grip on the sword slightly but did not give an answer.

The strength and endless nature of the Realm Demons truly made every powerful figure who faced them feel despair.

"Clearly, deep down, you are also not optimistic about the future of the Star Domain."

The Sword Emperor gave a miserable laugh.

"But I will fight for the Star Domain until my last drop of blood!"

Patriarch Mu Chuan's eyes were as firm as iron, lightning bursting in his gaze: "Even if I have to take the Ancient Clan and leave the Sword Domain, I will head to the Wanxiang Star Domain, to the Life Star Domain!"

"Don't forget, a few years ago, there was news of victory from the Life Star Domain. An Emperor named Su Feng fought two Black Demon Commanders alone and suppressed and killed them both!"

"The Star Domain is not without hope! Furthermore, that ancient existence in the Brilliant Star Domain has yet to appear!"

Hearing the names Su Feng and the Brilliant Star Domain.

The Sword Emperor suddenly interrupted Patriarch Mu Chuan, a sneer appearing on his face:

"That Su Feng is indeed very strong, but he is only one person!"

"As for the one in the Brilliant Star Domain? They have long since merged with the Brilliant Star Domain and cannot leave that place at all!"

"And the Realm Demons... Patriarch Mu Chuan, you have only seen the tip of the iceberg!"

"Yi Jian! What exactly are you trying to say?!"

Patriarch Mu Chuan was furious. The Sword Emperor's attitude and tone at this moment made the uneasy premonition in his heart grow stronger and stronger.

"I want to say that the Star Domain is destined for destruction! Since it is destined to be destroyed, why don't we find a way for our descendants to survive amidst the destruction?"

"For example... like this!"

The moment the Sword Emperor's voice fell, his body suddenly underwent a terrifying distortion!

"Crack! Crack!"

A teeth-grinding sound of bones bursting rang out.

The Sword Emperor's face instantly twisted, and hideous pitch-black bone spurs pierced through his flesh, spreading across his back.

His mouth ripped wildly toward both sides, revealing a mouthful of fangs as sharp as a shark's!

And at the center of his forehead, a dark black demon horn, emitting corrosive Devilish Qi, slowly drilled out!

"You——!!?"

Patriarch Mu Chuan was shocked.

It was not because the Sword Emperor's Realm had surged to the Late Stage of the Emperor Realm at this moment.

It was because what was overflowing from the Sword Emperor's body was no longer Sword Intent... but pure demonic power!

"You... you have actually demonized?! You have betrayed the Star Domain!!!" Patriarch Mu Chuan roared in shock, his lightning sword trembling violently.

The Sword Emperor, who had completely transformed into a hideous demonic creature, casually discarded the blood-colored longsword in his hand. He raised his hands high, the black-scaled claws at his fingertips, several feet long, flashing with a soul-shaking cold light.

"Betrayal? No, Patriarch Mu Chuan, this is called evolution!"

The Sword Emperor's dry, distorted voice echoed in the Void Realm: "This is the only way out I have found for our Sword Emperor Mountain and for the entire Sword Domain!"

"Madman!!!"

Patriarch Mu Chuan's entire body went cold.

He couldn't even bring himself to fight the Sword Emperor again; there was only one thought in his mind—escape!

Think of every possible way to escape the battlefield and send out the news that the Sword Emperor had defected to the demons!

"Patriarch Mu Chuan, it's useless. You know nothing about the true power of the Realm Demons."

The Demonized Sword Emperor's voice suddenly rang out right beside Patriarch Mu Chuan's ear!

"So fast! How is that possible?!"

Patriarch Mu Chuan's pupils constricted.

Without the slightest hesitation, he instantly burned his Emperor essence blood. The arc of lightning was stretched to the limit in an instant, turning into a million-li streak of lightning as he fled at top speed!

However, at the very moment the lightning lit up, a terrifying claw covered in cold black scales tore through the lightning and swiped fiercely at Patriarch Mu Chuan's neck!

"Thunder—Ten Thousand Jun!!!"

With no way to avoid it, Patriarch Mu Chuan let out a desperate, dying roar. Thousands of Lightning Tribulation bolts transformed into a destructive net of thunder, covering the sky and earth as it enveloped that demon claw!

"Snap—!"

A crisp sound of metal snapping.

In Patriarch Mu Chuan's incredulous gaze, his Emperor weapon sword, which had accompanied him for ten million years, snapped like rotten wood the moment it touched those black-scaled claws!

The defensive line composed of thousands of lightning bolts was torn open by that claw, creating a huge gap in the face of absolute demonized power!

"Ugh—!"

A slimy, hideous demon claw emitting a pungent, corrosive odor grabbed Patriarch Mu Chuan by the neck the moment his lightning dissipated, lifting him up into mid-air.

The Demonized Sword Emperor's giant mouth, which was split to the ears, opened slightly. He leaned into the ear of Patriarch Mu Chuan, whose immortal power was sealed, and let out a hair-raising, cackling laugh:

"Don't worry... I won't let you die just yet."

"I will spare your life and let you see for yourself. When the day the Demon Mother Nest descends arrives, which one of us made the right choice!!"
