271: The decisive battle at the top of the imperial capital

Above the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Capital, the Emperor summoned boundless power to launch a storm attack against the three hostile Alien Gods!

In an instant, the three Alien Gods had no room to dodge and were immediately engulfed by the fierce storm.

Within the storm, the three of them did not wait for death but quietly used the Great Dao of the Gods to find a path, launching a surprise attack towards the Emperor.

Although the Battle Intent of the three of them was powerful, capable of both offense and defense, they were not skilled in long-range combat; close-quarters fighting was their forte.

It was precisely for this reason that the three of them were assigned as the main force to attack the Imperial Capital.

One of the hostile Alien Gods, the Sky Lantern God, did not rashly approach the Emperor. Instead, he cautiously stood still, observed the situation, and simultaneously used the power of the Great Dao of the Gods to resist the storm summoned by the Emperor.

At the same time, he also brought out his Heaven Rank top-grade treasure, the soul-suppressing lamp, ready to launch a fatal blow against the Emperor with Netherworld Ghost Fire at any moment.

Above the Imperial Palace, the battlefield was quickly divided into several large sections; the sky was vast enough.

With a 'boom,' the long staff of one of the hostile Alien Gods, God of Strength, which was wreathed in the Qi of power, tore through the sky and smashed heavily onto the Emperor's golden body.

'Screech!' The spot on the Emperor's golden body struck by the staff was instantly covered in spiderweb-like cracks.

However, it did not completely shatter.

"Emperor, you, a dying man, instead of enjoying your twilight years, insist on opposing us. This is a dead end!"

After God of Strength's strike hit the Emperor, he did not stop there but engaged in psychological warfare.

"Back then, when the Emperor ascended to the throne of the Imperial Capital, how glorious it was! But today, he goes against the Heavenly Dao. How tragic is this!"

The Battle Intent of these three Alien Gods was certainly much stronger than that of ordinary Alien Gods, which is why they were sent to deal with the Emperor.

However, compared to the Emperor, they were still much inferior.

If it weren't for the Emperor's serious illness, none of them would dare to challenge the Emperor with just the three of them.

Now, after several rounds, the Emperor showed no signs of decline, his Battle Intent was extremely strong. If this continued, it would be strange if the three of them were not suppressed.

Therefore, they wanted to provoke the Emperor with words, forcing him to make a mistake.

Upon hearing his words, the Emperor merely said, "If I go all out, you will be erased from this world in an instant!"

The Emperor's Golden Body of Annihilation instantly dissipated, and raging flames shot up into the sky, emitting terrifying heat. The firmament was pierced by these flames, and the might of burning the heavens permeated the air, with heat waves spreading in all directions, making people feel as if they were in a sea of fire.

The moment the flames erupted, God of Strength decisively flashed backward, avoiding being affected by the towering flames. However, the might of burning the heavens still startled him greatly.

"Is this the Divine Might of the 'Solar True Fire,' the number one Divine Fire, known as the most rigid and most yang in heaven and earth?" God of Strength murmured softly as he watched the towering flames.

"I didn't expect the Emperor to not only wield the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning but also master the ultimate fire-elemental killing technique!"

"The Emperor is indeed powerful. Today, his Bloodline must be severed here!" Feeling the rolling might of burning the heavens, the eyes of the three hostile Alien Gods blazed with fire, their Battle Intent awe-inspiring.

The flames soaring from the Emperor's body were precisely the Solar True Fire, the most rigid and most yang in heaven and earth, a special Innate Divine Fire unique to his talent.

The power of this Solar True Fire was comparable to, or even stronger than, the power of fire condensed by a pure fire-elemental talent after comprehending the Deity Realm.

The Emperor dissipated his Divine Golden Body, revealing his true form. The Solar True Fire on his body also converged, hidden and unreleased, full of oppressive power.

The Emperor's eyes were bloodshot, his brows filled with malevolence, and he glared ferociously at the three hostile Alien Gods, holding a long sword that gleamed with chilling light.

Normally, no matter what opponent the Emperor faced, he should have been composed and extraordinary.

However, the Emperor was gravely ill. While fighting, he also had to resist and suppress the Divine Meridian Eruption within his body, suffering immensely, which made his face appear terrifying.

"You few, you are seeking death! How dare you speak so presumptuously about the Bloodline of my Human Race? I will surely use your blood to wash away the humiliation you have inflicted upon the Human Race!" the Emperor said ferociously.

"Emperor, you don't understand that worldly affairs are unpredictable. As the saying goes, 'a wise man submits to circumstances.' Are you still afraid of what people say?" the Sky Lantern God sneered.

"Emperor, you are about to die. How can you speak such arrogant words!

"Just come!" Flames surged from the Emperor's body again, his killing intent awe-inspiring.

With a 'whoosh,' the Emperor, carrying towering flames and wielding the long sword in his hand, charged towards the Sky Lantern God.

The Emperor's Divine Might soared, bringing immense pressure to all three Alien Gods. However, this pressure made the three of them's blood boil, their Battle Intent surge, feeling an unprecedented exhilaration.

If they could defeat the Emperor, it would be a great achievement. In the future, as long as That Lord held power, their names would "be passed down through the ages"!

God of Strength flew forward, gripping the long staff in his hand, and clashed with the Emperor, who was wreathed in Solar True Fire. Staff and sword met with a clang, and flames shot out in all directions.

This time, God of Strength was no longer as relaxed as before. The domineering nature of the Solar True Fire made God of Strength feel as if he had fallen into purgatory, suffering greatly. His entire body was scorched, and even the protection of the Great Dao of the Gods Law was ineffective.

Additionally, the long sword in the Emperor's hand was incredibly sharp, easily tearing open the Qi of power entwined around the long staff, even leaving a white mark on his staff.

This long sword had a significant origin; it was the Annihilation Demon Sword, forged by the Myriad Races with the essence and blood of hundreds of millions of Human Race members. It was once the personal sword of the Imperial Emperor among the Myriad Races.

The Annihilation Demon Sword, true to its name, was specifically created to counter the Human Race, possessing additional resistance and attack bonuses against the Great Dao of the Gods of the Human Race.

In a battle, the previous generation's Human Race Emperor defeated the Alien God Imperial Emperor. To escape, the Imperial Emperor had to abandon his sword to buy himself time, and thus, this sword was obtained by the Emperor.

Although this Annihilation Demon Sword was Acquired, it was comparable to an Innate top-grade Divine Artifact, with unparalleled sharpness.

During the final decisive battle between the Human Race and the Myriad Races, the previous generation's Emperor, wielding the Annihilation Demon Sword, successively wounded more than a dozen Alien Gods, and did so with great ease.

If not for the previous generation's Emperor's compassion, out of consideration that the Alien Races also possessed spirits, and his decision not to slaughter and exterminate all Alien Races, it is likely that very few of the Myriad Races would have survived to this day.

After the current Emperor ascended to the throne, he obtained this sword but rarely used it. No one knew the whereabouts of this sword until today, when the Annihilation Demon Sword once again pointed its tip at the Human Race.

The three Alien Gods had clearly heard of it and immediately recognized it as the Annihilation Demon Sword, their expressions instantly turning grim.

"Everyone, let's create some distance first. This is the Annihilation Demon Sword of the Myriad Races, specifically for dealing with humans. A frontal assault will likely gain us nothing!"

The three hostile Alien Gods quickly dispersed, avoiding the Emperor's charge.

Seeing that they dared not engage him in close combat, the Emperor unleashed his Solar True Fire, scorching them!
