273: The decisive moment

However, the Divine Lightning Light gave people the feeling of ordinary lightning, with nothing special about it.

In an instant, it collided with the attacks launched by the three Gods.

The Armored War Spirit only held on for a moment before being pierced by the Thunder Light, scattering in all directions. The Heavily Armored God also swayed violently, and blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The soul-suppressing lamp was also struck by the Thunder Light. Immediately, Thunder Light shot out in all directions, electric arcs intertwined, and its luster dimmed considerably. If it were a living creature, it would certainly have been electrocuted until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

As soon as God of Strength's great staff made contact with the Thunder Light, it was torn apart by the Thunder Light, and in an instant, it was covered by the Thunder Light, creating a void in the air.

The Emperor easily turned the attacks of the three hostile Gods into ashes. Such methods were truly incredible, making even the Imperial City Army, who were watching the battle from the side, disbelieving.

The expressions of the three opposing Gods were also varied.

"Even though I am gravely ill, and the power of my Great Dao cannot be fully displayed, do you three truly believe you can defeat me?" The Emperor spoke with a calm demeanor, yet his arrogant Aura, looking down upon the world, was fully evident.

"Emperor, do not be so arrogant! Even if you have comprehended the Great Dao of the Gods to the Perfection level, what does that matter? Today, as long as we stall you, we can surely rely on our numerical advantage to win this battle!"

Although they were extremely reluctant, they still accepted the current reality. Their goal of directly killing the Emperor changed to stalling him until he died.

As long as the Emperor was stalled, once his magic power was exhausted, he would no longer be a threat. At that time, their advantage in the number of Gods would become apparent, and they would surely be able to eliminate all opposition in the Imperial City, allowing them to successfully take over the Imperial City.

As soon as they finished speaking, they cast their gazes into the distance and secretly transmitted a message.

"The Emperor is no longer someone we can contend with. We can only rely on our own strength to temporarily stall him. You all should seize the opportunity to strike!" The Sky Lantern God seemed a little disheartened when he said this.

The Sky Lantern God's unusual actions made the Emperor very suspicious. Were there still hostile Gods in the distance who hadn't made a move?

"Good!"

The Gods in the distance completely agreed with the Sky Lantern God's statement, and this was also the will of That Lord.

The Emperor's combat power had already broken the balance of the Godly Laws, and he could no longer be resisted by numerical advantage.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Seeing the Gods in the distance nod, the Sky Lantern God withdrew his gaze.

At the same time, the Heavily Armored God also retrieved his fragmented Armored War Spirit, no longer daring to contend with the Emperor using the War Spirit. If anything went wrong with the War Spirit, it would be a huge loss.

The Soul within the soul-suppressing lamp transformed into a stream of Soul Power radiating sky-high Evil Qi and merged into the Sky Lantern God's body. Immediately, a murderous Qi arose around the Sky Lantern God, which was very incongruous with his resplendent golden body, appearing somewhat strange.

Looking at the Sky Lantern God, who was surrounded by a murderous Qi, the Emperor's gaze paused slightly. He hadn't expected the Sky Lantern God to actually integrate the power of this Soul into his own body, using himself as the formation eye to set up a killing formation.

It had to be said that they were really going all out to kill him.

The three hostile Gods unleashed their movement techniques and resolutely charged towards the Emperor, causing the sky to tremble.

"You want to take advantage of my serious illness to seize the Imperial City, but alas, this is ultimately a mirage, destined to come to nothing!" The Emperor sneered coldly in his heart.

Although the Emperor had comprehended the Great Dao of the Gods to the Perfection level, he was ultimately unable to fully manifest the Law of the Great Dao of the Gods due to the Divine Meridian Eruption within his body.

The three hostile Gods changing their strategy to stall the Emperor was indeed a good plan.

However, they all overlooked one point: Ye Kong and Jiang Huang.

While they were fighting the Emperor, the Fishing Old Man and Locke were also fighting Ye Kong and Jiang Huang. Now, Locke had been stabbed to death by Ye Kong, and the Fishing Old Man had also been defeated by Jiang Huang and fled in disarray.

As long as Ye Kong and Jiang Huang arrived, they would have no chance.

But for the Emperor, he discovered that there were even more hostile Gods concealed in the dark. Even the Emperor couldn't guess how many Gods the enemy had actually gathered.

He couldn't let Jiang Huang and Ye Kong step into danger again. He had to defeat these three people as quickly as possible!

"Boom!"

Just as God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God charged over, the lightning above the Emperor's head continuously shrank, and in a blink of an eye, it disappeared into the top of the Emperor's head.

However, the Emperor's Aura did not change due to the lightning's disappearance; he remained calm and composed, with a faint Thunder Light emanating from his body.

The Emperor's Thunder Light-infused fists collided with the fists of God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God. The sky instantly shook, and the space at the point of impact collapsed, with void Qi overflowing.

The Emperor did not immediately use the Annihilation Demon Sword again, but instead used his fists to block the attacks of God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God.

In terms of Physical Body Cultivation, the Emperor was no worse than anyone else.

However, a more important reason was that the Emperor wanted to use his Physical Body as bait to attract the two into close combat, making it easier for him to use the Annihilation Demon Sword to kill them later.

Although the Emperor's Physical Body power was formidable, God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God were not inferior. After Cultivating their Godly Physical Bodies to a very high level, they were comparable to a divine body, and both of them were precisely at that level.

Seeing that the Thunder Light on the Emperor's fists did not pierce through the defenses that their respective Godly Laws had bestowed upon them, God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God's anxious hearts relaxed, and they gradually began to unleash their full power.

After one strike, the three quickly became entangled in battle.

The Emperor, relying solely on the Thunder Light protecting his body, was able to block the attacks of God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God.

However, the murderous power condensed by the Sky Lantern God, who was using his body as a formation eye, still caused some trouble for the Emperor, almost piercing through the Thunder Light and striking the Emperor's body several times.

Of course, God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God did not hope to inflict any damage on the Emperor; they only sought to entangle him.

At the same time, the Emperor was also waiting for the opportunity to draw his sword. In terms of Physical Body power, they were all evenly matched, and the situation immediately became a stalemate.

Being held back by God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God, the Emperor felt no discomfort. Instead, he engaged them with great interest, enjoying the fight immensely.

Looking at the Emperor's calm expression, God of Strength and the Heavily Armored God both felt an inexplicable panic, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts.

The Emperor knew that there were still hostile Gods hidden in the distance, so he was extra careful. He would rather not strike heavily to injure the three in front of him than leave an opening for the distant Gods to launch a sneak attack.

But even so, the three hostile Gods were already struggling to hold on!

"Emperor, we are here to assist!"

A little further away, Ye Kong and Jiang Huang had already stepped onto the palace gate and were rushing towards the Emperor!
