281: Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Saint King

"Zeng Zhang, that was a beautiful fight!"

Heavenly King Guang Mu landed on the mountain Peak, holding his Dharma Sword, a look of respect in his eyes.

"To slay the Sect Master in just over a hundred rounds, your strength must be nearing the threshold of an Emperor Venerable!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! After ten million years of accumulation, I never expected you would be the first among our sisters to have hope of stepping into the Emperor Venerable Realm!" Heavenly King Chi Guo's normally stern face also broke into a smile.

Although she was nominally the eldest sister of the Four Heavenly Kings, she felt no jealousy that her third sister's strength had surpassed her own.

However, Heavenly King Zeng Zhang's brows remained tightly locked.

An extremely uneasy feeling welled up in her heart.

"Everyone, be careful. The crisis may not be over yet!"

Duowen Heavenly King walked over, carrying her treasure umbrella, and said with some disapproval: "Crisis? The Sect Master has already been slain by you; what other crisis could there be!"

"Once we join forces to capture Murong Sunyao, we can return to the Heavenly Court to report!"

"I hope so..."

Before Heavenly King Zeng Zhang could finish speaking, a terrifying Aura of unparalleled magnitude erupted from behind her.

In an instant, the entire world shook crazily.

Facing this overwhelming power, the Southern Continent was instantly shifted ten thousand miles away.

The firmament seemed to be covered by a huge black curtain; light could not shine down, and an eternal night descended upon the Southern Continent. It seemed as if some supreme existence, intolerable to the world, was about to manifest.

"This is... this is..."

Duowen Heavenly King's complexion changed drastically; immense fear left her speechless.

It was Heavenly King Chi Guo who squeezed those two words, which would make countless Immortals tremble, through her teeth:

"Emperor Venerable!"

Although both Immortal Emperor and Emperor Venerable contained the word "Emperor," their strength and Realm were worlds apart.

An Immortal Emperor could grasp certain powers of the Heavenly Dao and comprehend the workings of the Law, but an Emperor Venerable, in a sense, was already the Heavenly Dao itself!

"Why?"

"Why would the Hehuan Sacred Sect have an Emperor Venerable sitting in charge!" Heavenly King Zeng Zhang roared.

If they had known this news earlier, the Heavenly Court would absolutely not have moved against the Holy Alliance so easily.

Hum—

The statue standing before the Holy Palace continued to radiate light, and the stone layers covering it fell off one by one.

A few seconds later, a majestic light figure manifested before the eyes of the world.

"The rules of heaven and earth change infinitely, and the river of time spans from ancient times to the present. What year is it today?"

The light figure whispered.

Some of the fleeing female disciples of the Hehuan Sacred Sect recognized this person's identity and roared as they knelt before her.

"Old Ancestor, please uphold justice for our Holy Sect!"

"The Foundation of the Holy Sect's grand formation has been destroyed, and the Sect Master has fallen. All of this is thanks to the Heavenly Court!"

"Please, Old Ancestor, take action and annihilate all enemies!"

Many powerful Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings of the Holy Sect were in tears. They had thought they would surely die in the Heavenly Court's encirclement today, but they had not expected their Holy Sect to still have a final trump card.

The Old Ancestor had actually come back to life and would surely reverse the situation with incredible Divine Might.

"Heavenly Court... Is it the Heavenly Court again?"

The humanoid light figure scanned the area with a gaze full of majesty.

"That's right, who else but the Heavenly Court could force me out!"

"Heavenly Court, you blind the truth of the Immortal Realm's operation. Having been a Puppet for so many years, you have long since rotted to the roots!"

"Your days of destruction begin today!"

As the words fell.

The river of time and fate was forcibly cut off at this moment. The Laws of heaven and earth retreated a billion miles away, and only the will belonging to the "Hehuan Dao" enveloped the entire Southern Continent.

"Attack together!"

Heavenly King Chi Guo roared.

Heavenly King Zeng Zhang refined her essence blood, and her already terrifying Aura soared again. She manifested her "Law Heaven Earth" body and stood at the very front without hesitation.

"Perish!"

Huan Ancestor spat out a single word indifferently.

A giant hand supported the heavens, overturning worlds and extinguishing existence. Carrying the momentum to destroy the heavens and earth, it slammed heavily onto Heavenly King Zeng Zhang.

Boom!

The entire Southern Continent was torn apart.

The endless star sea surged with monstrous tsunamis, and countless living beings died under the Divine Might of that palm.

"Sisters, do not be afraid. She is only a Divine Soul and will, she cannot persist for long!"

Heavenly King Chi Guo played her Emperor-grade instrument, the pipa, rapidly, evolving endless sound wave attacks, attempting to shake Huan Ancestor's Divine Soul and will to death.

"I indeed cannot persist for long, but to annihilate you, it is enough!"

Huan Ancestor's tone remained indifferent.

She casually pointed a finger, with pink Hehuan will power wrapped around the fingertip.

Wherever it passed, space collapsed in layers.

To Heavenly King Chi Guo, it seemed as if the Heavenly Dao were pressing down. Various Hehuan scenes appeared in her mind, causing her to fall into a sinking illusion, unable to move, just standing there waiting for death.

At the moment of life and death, Duowen Heavenly King could not care about holding back.

She directly threw out the treasure umbrella that had accompanied her for ten million years.

The treasure umbrella was opened, and the surface of the umbrella surged with brilliant luster, resisting in front of Heavenly King Chi Guo.

Pa—

It only lasted for an instant.

The treasure umbrella was exploded by the Emperor Venerable's finger. The unique intelligence of the Emperor-grade weapon was annihilated into nothingness, completely becoming a useless weapon.

But it was this moment that bought Heavenly King Chi Guo a chance to escape. She burned her Immortal Emperor essence blood, forcibly broke free from the traction of the Hehuan Law, and fled to Duowen Heavenly King's side.

"Let's see how many more times you can struggle!"

Huan Ancestor sneered and opened her palm toward the two, terrifying Immortal power brewing and manifesting in her palm.

Just at this moment, Heavenly King Guang Mu appeared behind Huan Ancestor as if teleporting. He raised his Chaos Emperor Sword high, the sword's edge tearing through the Universe's stars, and slashed down angrily at the light figure's head.

Crack—

Huan Ancestor was split into two halves.

Violent ripples appeared on each half of the light figure, seemingly expressing her fury.

"Then I will kill you first!"

The palm crossed time and space, sticking to Heavenly King Guang Mu's head at a speed that was completely impossible to dodge. An incomparably tyrannical power of Law, like a vortex, instantly refined an Immortal Emperor body into nothingness.

"Guang Mu!"

Heavenly King Chi Guo's eyes were splitting with rage.

Just then, a blue light broke free from Huan Ancestor's palm and fled frantically toward the distant space-time.

That was a wisp of Heavenly King Guang Mu's remnant thought.

As long as the remnant thought did not die, after spending ten million years of time, there was still hope to recast the Immortal body and return to the Peak.

But Huan Ancestor clearly did not want to give her this chance.

The light figure that had been split in two slowly merged like water ripples.

Her fingertip pointed from afar, Chaos was annihilated!

At the critical moment, a cyan giant snake lunged out from the side, coiled around her finger, and began to bite frantically.

As the luster surged, Huan Ancestor's finger just trembled slightly, and the giant snake was suppressed and killed into a pool of blood mist. Then, the momentum unabated, it continued to point toward Heavenly King Guang Mu's fleeing remnant thought.

"Xiao Qing!"

Heavenly King Zeng Zhang let out a mournful cry.

Tears welled up in her majestic eyes.

That was not just her spirit pet, but a good friend who had fought alongside her for ten million years!

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness filled the hearts of every Heavenly King.

The gap in strength was too great; even if it was just a Divine Soul and will, it was not something they could contend with.

"Huan Ancestor, if you dare to kill, the Heavenly Emperor will absolutely not let you off!"

Heavenly King Chi Guo roared in despair, able only to issue a final threat.

"Hehe!"

Huan Ancestor laughed disdainfully.

The power of one finger had already enveloped Heavenly King Guang Mu's remnant soul, intending to completely obliterate her from the past, present, future, Karma, and Reincarnation, without leaving a shred of possibility for resurrection.

Just at this moment.

Zheng—

A sound of sword whistling went straight beyond the clouds.

The Sword Intent was like a white silk, crisscrossing the Nine Heavens and four seas.

The Hehuan Domain imprisoning the entire Southern Continent was forcibly cut open.

Incomparably brilliant sword light shone in, and the eternal night instantly turned into broad daylight, suppressing the sun, moon, and stars until they lost their luster.

Many Immortals were blinded by this sword!

"Who is it!?"

Huan Ancestor hurriedly withdrew her move, but she was still a beat too slow; her entire right wrist was sliced off by the sword's edge.

At the wound, the Sword Intent was endless, never dying and never extinguishing, continuously burning her Divine Soul and will.

Only to see.

From where the firmament cracked, a tall figure appeared.

Beneath her sat a Chaos seven-colored lotus throne exuding infinite Qi of Creation, her left hand held a black pagoda, and nine Primordial Emperor Swords floated behind her. The entire sky was crumbling because of her appearance.

The river of time flowed separately before her, fate and Karma dared not touch her body, and the rules of Heavenly Dao dared not block her path.

She did not emit any Emperor's Might, but that Aura was enough to make Immortal Emperors tremble.

A terrifying name emerged in the minds of all the Immortals present.

The number one Heavenly Prodigy in the history of the Heavenly Court!

Born in accordance with the Heavenly mandate of the Immortal Realm, possessor of the strongest Physique from ancient times to the present!

Nine Heavens Demon-Slaying Holy King!
