123: The Immortal Emperor Falls

"No."

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor shook his head slightly, "I checked Yan Sheng's Divine Soul memories. The murderer who killed my wife was not him, but another assassin named 'Blood Fiend'!

Back then, after Blood Fiend's plan to use Water Cloud Fairy to force him to submit failed, he decisively left.

After Water Cloud Immortal Emperor achieved the Immortal Emperor Realm, he slew the enemy who tried to prevent his ascension, but he couldn't find that Black Hell assassin.

The people of Black Hell were elusive and their whereabouts hidden. Even though he was an Immortal Emperor, he hadn't found any clues after so many years.

But what he didn't expect was that for so many years, a Black Hell assassin had been hiding right under his nose!

This made him incredibly angry, but also feeling very powerless.

Facing an organization as terrifying as Black Hell, his power was simply too weak.

Wu Ning pondered for a moment and said, "I have information on two Heaven-Grade Black Hell assassins. Are you interested?"

Heaven-Grade Black Hell assassins correspond to Immortal Emperor cultivation.

"Heaven-Grade assassins?"

A sharp glint flashed in Water Cloud Immortal Emperor's eyes, then he cupped his hands to Wu Ning and said, "Please enlighten me, sir!"

"I will go trouble those two Heaven-Grade assassins next. You just follow me."

"But before that, we need to eliminate all of Yan Sheng's cronies!"

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, "Sir, just leave this matter to me."

Killing intent appeared in his eyes, and he raised his hand to grab towards the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

Buzz buzz!

In an instant, tens of thousands of figures were pulled out by him, then directly crushed into oblivion. Thick, vivid blood mist sprinkled over the Water Cloud Immortal Sect's sky.

A scent of blood filled the air, and the world was utterly silent.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor's methods were ruthless. Not only the assassin sprouts secretly cultivated by Yan Sheng, but also his Disciples, his successors, and all those closely related to him, were all annihilated.

"Let's go."

Wu Ning glanced indifferently, then flashed and flew towards the Southern Bright Ancient Star.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor immediately followed, his figure vanishing instantly.

...

Southern Bright Ancient Star, Southern Bright Immortal Sect.

This was also an Immortal Emperor Dao Lineage.

There was only one Immortal Emperor, but his cultivation was in the Middle Stage of the Immortal Emperor Realm, which was much stronger than the Water Cloud Immortal Sect.

More importantly, this Immortal Emperor was a Heaven-Grade assassin from Black Hell!

"Who is this?"

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor looked at Elder Wu Mao and asked. It was another Immortal Emperor stronger than him, and one far stronger at that.

"This is our clan's Elder."

Wu Ning said casually.

Elder Wu Mao nodded slightly and said decisively, "Let's act."

With an outsider present, he naturally wouldn't say much.

"Act!"

Boom!

The three stood in different positions and attacked simultaneously, directly striking the entire Southern Bright Ancient Star.

Boom boom—!

Three terrifying torrents of energy raged through the Void Realm. Space collapsed along the way, carrying unparalleled might, and slammed onto the Southern Bright Ancient Star.

In an instant, a massive ancient Formation appeared, enveloping the entire Southern Bright Ancient Star.

Boom—!

The three terrifying attacks slammed onto the ancient Formation. After only a moment of stalemate, the entire ancient Formation shattered with a roar.

The aftermath tore apart the entire Southern Bright Ancient Star, annihilating countless living beings.

"Ah! Who is it?!"

An angry roar echoed through the cosmos, and a vast, terrifying pressure instantly permeated the entire starfield.

In the Eastern Immortal Domain.

At this moment, many gazes turned towards the Southern Bright Immortal Sect, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"It's that old ghost from the Southern Bright Immortal Sect! What happened?"

...

"Kill!"

Elder Wu Mao roared, taking the lead to charge at the Immortal Emperor elder who rushed out from the Southern Bright Immortal Sect.

A massive black battle saber appeared in his hand.

This was a top-tier immortal emperor artifact, its power incredibly terrifying.

Elder Wu Mao's hair stood on end as he swung the battle saber in his hand. A terrifying saber light tore through the Void Realm, fiercely striking towards the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor!

Wu Ning summoned the Myriad Realms Bow.

He drew the bowstring, and an arrow condensed from immortal Qi shot through the air, instantly arriving before the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor also summoned his only immortal emperor artifact.

It was a light blue longsword.

Although it couldn't compare to Elder Wu Mao's black battle saber or Wu Ning's Myriad Realms Bow, it was still an extremely powerful immortal sword.

The Southern Bright Immortal Emperor was utterly bewildered. He had just rushed out from the explosion of the Southern Bright Ancient Star when he was met with three incredibly powerful attacks.

Each one more terrifying than the last!

Bang bang bang!

The Southern Bright Immortal Emperor's Physical Body was instantly sent flying, but it was immediately intercepted by even stronger attacks.

The Southern Bright Immortal Emperor was besieged by the three, being tossed around like a ball.

In just a short moment, his Immortal Emperor Physical Body was shattered beyond recognition. His self-repairing speed simply couldn't keep up with the rate of destruction.

Hiss!

A black saber light tore through the Void Realm, and the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor's body was directly split in two.

Immediately after, a terrifying arrow shot through the air, instantly piercing through his head.

Bang—!

The arrow's power erupted, and the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor's head instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor delivered the final blow, annihilating his Physical Body with a single sword strike.

"Ah—!!"

"Damn it! Who exactly are you?!"

The Southern Bright Immortal Emperor roared frantically, hysterically.

He had been sitting peacefully at home, not expecting disaster to strike. His perfectly fine home suddenly exploded, and then he was surrounded and severely beaten. Now even his Physical Body was destroyed.

"Don't waste words with him, continue!"

Elder Wu Mao said coldly, striking at the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor's Divine Soul with his saber.

Boom boom—!

"Ah! Old man, I'll fight you to the death!"

The Southern Bright Immortal Emperor shrieked.

But very quickly, he was subjected to a furious onslaught by the three, shattering his Divine Soul into countless fragments.

Even without counting Water Cloud Immortal Emperor, facing two existences far stronger than him, the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor had no chance whatsoever from beginning to end.

The three continued to attack, grinding away at the Southern Bright Immortal Emperor's Divine Soul fragments.

After a long time.

"He should be completely dead now, right?"

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor said with some uncertainty.

Elder Wu Mao shook his head, "Impossible. He definitely still has remnant souls in the world. Unless we find all of his hidden remnant souls, it's impossible to completely kill him."

As long as an Immortal Emperor has a single thought remaining, he can revive.

However, that's merely being alive.

Even if a wisp of an Immortal Emperor's remnant soul remains in the world, the difficulty of reconstructing the Divine Soul, rebuilding the Physical Body, and recovering to his peak state.

Its difficulty is almost no less than re-achieving the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to cultivate several Immortal Emperors just by splitting a few remnant souls?

Therefore, destroying an Immortal Emperor's main body can usually be considered that the opponent has fallen.

Of course, if there are powerful forces assisting him from behind, recovering to the peak state would certainly be much easier.

Water Cloud Immortal Emperor nodded and said no more.

He was also an Immortal Emperor, so he naturally understood how difficult it was to completely annihilate an Immortal Emperor.

Unless a terrifying existence above the Immortal Emperor Realm made a move, it would be almost impossible for those in the same Immortal Emperor Realm to completely kill other Immortal Emperors.

The best time to annihilate an Immortal Emperor.

Is when the other party has just achieved the Immortal Emperor Realm and hasn't had time to split their Divine Soul to leave behind trump cards.
