138: A being at the Quasi-Emperor level! Xu Jinhuan makes his move (two-in-one)

"Old Ancestor, do you need me to step in?"

Watching those dozen or so bursts of emperor's might in the starry sky, Xu Jinhuan was eager to act.

However, Taiyi Old Ancestor shook his head.

"No need, they can handle it. Your opponents are the existences behind them."

"Alright."

Xu Jinhuan responded and withdrew his intention to intervene.

He could naturally see that behind this sudden Immortal War and the Alliance of Fifteen Orthodoxies, there was an invisible hand at work.

"Is it the existence behind the Blood God Palace? Are those Life Forbidden Zones behind this?"

Xu Jinhuan was full of interest, ready to go, and focused intently on the battlefield in the sky.

"Heh, do you think you're the only ones who can use quasi-emperor weapons?"

Feeling the overwhelming emperor's might before him, the Eighteenth Ancestor sneered. He also bit the tip of his tongue, forcing out a drop of essence blood to awaken the quasi-emperor weapon of the Taiyi Holy Land.

As a terrifying orthodoxy that had produced several Great Emperors, Taiyi Holy Land possessed more than five quasi-emperor weapons. Combined with their inherent strength and Formation advantages, they weren't necessarily unable to fight against ten quasi-emperor weapons!

Rumble!—

Above the sea of stars, the winds rose again, and the emperor's might soared into the sky. Countless distant stars trembled under the collision of the two forces before exploding into stardust.

The entire starry sky was actually suppressed into a vacuum zone by the pressure of the two sides' quasi-emperor weapons!

Everything was silent, save for the roaring emperor's might!

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Amidst deafening roars, the experts from both sides simultaneously drove their quasi-emperor weapons.

In an instant, divine light soared, killing intent split the sky, and the sound of emperor weapons colliding echoed through the ages. The starry sky shattered, and the myriad Daos ebbed and flowed.

Even that vacuum zone was about to be completely pulverized by the peerlessly terrifying aftershocks!

The battle was intense to the extreme; divine light and bloody light intertwined, while emperor's might resonated with the sounds of slaughter, making it impossible to determine a winner for a long time.

At this time, another advantage of the Book of Myriad Daos manifested. After cultivating it, one could step onto another Emperor's Path and develop a special power that merged with the Heavenly Dao. This allowed them to drive quasi-emperor weapons without needing to consume extra essence blood or Lifespan!

After half a day of fierce fighting, the experts of Taiyi Holy Land remained composed and steady, driving the quasi-emperor weapons as easily as their own limbs, as if nothing were wrong.

In contrast, the Peak Great Sage experts of the fifteen orthodoxy Alliance now had pale and unsightly faces, looking as if they had swallowed filth.

"How is this possible?! They clearly consumed more than we did, so why do they still have the capacity to fight?"

"Do they not need to use essence blood to activate their quasi-emperor weapons?"

"What on earth is going on?"

It was common knowledge that quasi-emperor weapons were the weapons of Great Emperors. For a Saint or even a quasi-emperor to forcibly drive one, they had to pay a significant price.

Generally speaking, this price could be essence blood, Lifespan, or even one's life force.

But looking at the people from Taiyi Holy Land, their complexions were ruddy, without even a hint of change.

Where did it look like they had paid any price?

"I can't go on, switch!"

"I also need a moment to recover!"

"Fortunately, we have numbers on our side. We'll wear them down until they die!"

Feeling the predicament of their essence blood draining rapidly and their Lifespan being consumed frantically, the Alliance experts were forced to repeatedly swap people to drive the quasi-emperor weapons, while they retreated behind the army Formation to meditate and adjust their breathing.

In the heavens, the fluctuations of emperor's might remained violent. The Alliance army, having swapped in a new batch of people, attacked even more fiercely, their shouts of slaughter shaking the universe.

However, half an hour later...

"I can't hold on either! These people aren't right! They're simply monsters!"

"They must have mastered a supreme secret technique to drive emperor weapons without cost!"

"Damn it! What exactly happened to Taiyi Holy Land!"

Looking at the people from Taiyi Holy Land who were only slightly fatigued, the Peak Great Sages of the fifteen orthodoxy Alliance completely broke down!

The opponent could actually drive quasi-emperor weapons without injury. This was equivalent to having infinite nuclear weapons; how could they even fight?!

But at this point, the Immortal War had already begun, and the quasi-emperor weapons had all been brought out. Both sides were locked in a life-and-death struggle. They were riding a tiger and could not get off; there was absolutely no possibility of admitting defeat!

They couldn't lose! The orthodoxies behind them couldn't lose! And the supreme taboos behind those orthodoxies definitely couldn't lose!

One Peak Great Sage gritted his teeth and retreated to the very back of the Formation. He bowed respectfully to a humanoid dark shadow and knelt in plea.

"Exalted One, the thieves are cunning and loathsome. We truly cannot take them down. I beg the Exalted One to take action!"

Other resting Great Sages also left one after another, and several came here to kneel and plead.

Some also went to find other masterminds behind the scenes.

"Lord, the thieves have many Demonic Techniques and we cannot break through. I beg the Lord to take action!"

A group of Great Sages who stood at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and lorded over billions of lives were now like the lowliest crawling insects, the most base ants, or the most devout fanatics, kneeling on the ground in loyalty and fear, trembling with unease.

They knew better than anyone that everything they had came from the figures before them. These people were the true chess players standing above the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, manipulating the winds and clouds of eternity!

Looking at the creatures groveling and trembling at their feet, those high-and-mighty chess players let out disdainful, cold sneers.

"A bunch of trash!"

As the cold mockery fell, the Peak Great Sages kneeling on the ground all turned pale, yet not one dared to offer the slightest retort.

Simply because the existences who spoke these words were too powerful—so powerful that they didn't even have the qualification to question them!

All they could do was bury their heads even lower and plead with even more respectful voices.

"Please take action, Lord!"

"Please take action, Exalted One!"

"..."

They slowly rose, and the moment their footsteps landed, heaven and earth instantly fell silent!

The sea of stars grew dim and lightless, and the great sun hanging high in the sky actually vanished directly!

At this moment, it was as if the entire world had fallen into an endless Reincarnation of darkness, never to return!

Dark power!

It was an extreme dark power that annihilated all light and devoured all life!

At the same time, four pressures terrifying to the extreme descended like eternal divine mountains, crushing everything!

Heaven and earth trembled, and the Void Realm shattered inch by inch!

The Taiyi Holy Land's defensive Formation, which had withstood countless aftershocks from quasi-emperor weapons, was unexpectedly fragile under this pressure and exploded with a bang!

At this moment, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, all creatures in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces who sensed this pressure experienced what true peerless terror was, and what true extreme darkness was!

Even though Taiyi Holy Land reacted extremely quickly, instantly raising a second layer of defensive Formations and even bringing out the ultimate dao emperor weapon that anchored the Holy Land's foundation to radiate a brilliant emperor's might to protect the Disciples.

But those four pressures still penetrated through the layers of defense, entering straight into everyone's hearts, chilling them to the core!

Many Cultivators even suffered mental collapses on the spot, losing all will to resist and completely giving up hope of survival.

"These are... creatures of the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

"How can there be existences of this level nowadays? It's over, everything is over..."

"These creatures are simply too terrifying! They can't be resisted at all, even by activating an ultimate dao emperor weapon!"

Everyone in Taiyi Holy Land, from top to bottom, felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

Shock, horror, fear... countless negative emotions swirled and invaded. For a moment, even the Grand Elders fighting with quasi-emperor weapons felt the urge to give up resistance.

Just then, the four figures seized their brief psychological opening and appeared out of thin air in front of the Taiyi Holy Land crowd.

In the next instant, they simultaneously raised their hands and struck out with a palm. It looked light and effortless, as if they were merely scratching an itch.

Rumble!

Puff, puff, puff... However, it was such a light palm strike that caused the Grand Elders to be defeated instantly, without any power to resist.

It was like crushing dry weeds!

Unstoppable!

Twenty or thirty figures were hit as if by a massive weight, spitting blood as they flew backward, smashing heavily into the ground of Taiyi Holy Land, creating massive, bottomless craters!

At the bottom of the craters, these Grand Elders were bleeding profusely, their faces deathly pale, and their auras weakened to the extreme.

Furthermore, their bodies were shrouded in a large amount of thick black mist that hissed and crackled, constantly eroding their flesh and life force, while even their Divine Souls let out cries of agony.

One strike. These four figures had used just one strike to heavily wound all the Grand Elders of Taiyi Holy Land!

This scene caused the pupils of the other Taiyi Holy Land members to shrink, their bodies trembling with extreme fear!

The Grand Elders had used all their foundations and had the protection of quasi-emperor weapons, yet they were not even a match for a single strike from these mysterious experts.

"What kind of existences are these dark shadows? Why are they so powerful?"

"The aura of the forbidden! I sense the aura of the forbidden from them! They are creatures that have stepped out of the Life Forbidden Zones!"

"Even such creatures have appeared. Even if we have Taiyi Old Ancestor who can contend with them, he is but one person. How can he withstand the combined attack of four others?"

"Yes, Taiyi Holy Land is in peril today!"

At this moment, the Cultivators of Taiyi Holy Land fell into despair. It wasn't that Taiyi Holy Land wasn't strong enough, but that these enemies were too overpowered and shameless.

To even invite out creatures from the Life Forbidden Zones—the other side had no basic dignity or bottom line as living beings left!

"I didn't expect these guys to want to kill me so badly that they even dispatched Clones at the Third Level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm."

Looking at the lineup outside, Xu Jinhuan was somewhat surprised.

After all, when he last appeared before the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, he only had the strength of a Saint King. The other side definitely wouldn't have guessed he could Breakthrough to God King so quickly, much less that his combat power could reach the Fifth Level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm so soon.

Yet the other side still used quasi-emperor Clones for the encirclement.

It could only be said that these guys really, really wanted to kill Xu Jinhuan!

"Why? Is it because I'm too handsome? No, that shouldn't be the reason."

Everything has a cause and effect. The other side wouldn't have gone all out against him for no reason. It must be because he had shown them something special that triggered the wariness of these old schemers.

"Is it my talent? Physique? Or a certain Cultivation Technique I'm practicing?"

Xu Jinhuan speculated inwardly, but had no clear idea for the moment.

But it didn't matter.

"I'll just catch one of those dark figures and ask."

"Right on time, it's also my turn to take action."

Xu Jinhuan took a step forward.

On the battlefield, several of the most powerful Grand Elders had already returned to their positions, their faces filled with resolve.

"It's just death either way, this old man will fight you to the end!"

"As long as I can protect Sequence Xu, this old man will die a worthy death!"

Someone also sent a divine sense transmission to Xu Jinhuan.

"Sequence Xu, leave quickly! There is an escape Formation left by a Great Emperor in the Holy Land that ignores space Restrictions. Go quickly!!!"

Knowing they were no match, they still stood before everyone without hesitation.

They were clearly Cultivators who craved longevity most, yet at this moment, they were resolutely and generously embracing death.

This scene moved countless Taiyi Holy Land Disciples to tears.

"Sequence Xu, leave quickly! Don't worry about us!"

"If you can avenge your Junior Brother in the future, remember to pour a cup of yellow wine before my grave."

"Death comes to all men; today I will fight to the death with you scumbags!"

"..."

"Ants, die!"

The four quasi-emperor dark shadows spoke in cold voices.

Then, four pressures terrifying to the extreme suddenly descended, as if the spectacle of the creation of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces was being reenacted, enough to instantly destroy all life!

Feeling that terrifying attack that was so powerful it couldn't be resisted even by activating quasi-emperor weapons.

The experts of Taiyi Holy Land looked despairing, their Qi and blood suddenly boiling as their lifelong cultivation began to burn.

Even if they were to die, they would burst into the most brilliant fireworks to stall for a moment for Xu Jinhuan.

As long as Sequence Xu lived, Taiyi Holy Land still had hope!

However.

At the very moment the four attacks were about to arrive.

Xu Jinhuan's figure appeared in the center of the battlefield like a ghost, standing before the Grand Elders who were about to sacrifice themselves.

He struck out with a palm.

Endless Daoist charm manifested, and the myriad Daos descended!

Boom!!!

Two supreme powers clashed in a world-shaking collision!

With one palm strike, those four attacks—which were enough to pierce through the sea of stars and destroy half of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces—actually vanished directly!

And the originators of those four attacks, the four dark shadows, were also sent flying backward at speeds exceeding light, smashing through an unknown number of stars and traveling a vast distance.

At this moment and in this scene, everyone in Taiyi Holy Land, from top to bottom, was stunned.

Not just them, even the Cultivators of the fifteen orthodoxy Alliance stood frozen in place, their scalps tingling with extreme shock.

Heaven, earth, and the starry sky all fell silent!

"Thank you all, I, Jinhuan, have taken your sentiments to heart..."

Xu Jinhuan's gentle and elegant voice echoed in the hearts of the countless Disciples and members, curbing their impulses and resolve.

"Trust me, I can deal with them."

It was clearly a statement that sounded like a fantasy.

But at this moment, it made countless people willingly believe, not only because of the speaker's terrifying talent but also because of his nearly miraculous performance.

"Sequence Xu is invincible!"

"Maybe Sequence Xu really can deal with these monsters!"

"I was actually doubting Sequence Xu before. I'm sorry, it was my short-sightedness."

With just one exchange, Xu Jinhuan had shattered everyone's worries.

He had established an invincible confidence for the entire Taiyi Holy Land!

This legendary sequence truly seemed capable of sweeping through four quasi-emperors!

"Heh, successor of the Green Lotus, you've finally appeared."

At some point, those four dark shadows had returned to stand before Xu Jinhuan, staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

"Oh? I didn't expect it to be because of this."

As soon as the opponent spoke, Xu Jinhuan knew the reason he was being targeted: the Green Lotus Sword Intent.

This Sword Intent likely hid some extraordinary secret that made these dark giants so frantic. He would have to study it another day.

Of course, now was not the time to think about such things.

The four Clones of the dark giants had already charged forward.

"Boy, die! Anyone or anything related to the Green Lotus cannot be allowed to live in this world!"

Darkness, extreme darkness, surged like a torrential tide, constantly battering forward.

Darkness that covered the sky and earth!

Darkness sufficient to destroy everything!
