30: Chapter 30 Killing a Supreme Being is Like Slaughtering a Pig!

The human emperor banner was an Imperial Weapon he had specifically refined. It had absorbed the vast faith of the Universe's living beings for forty-seven thousand years, constantly evolving until it had already stepped half a foot into the realm of Immortal Artifacts.

Its raw offensive power might not be as sharp as the Tyrant Blade, but in terms of Formations, sealing, and spatial manipulation, it could be called Peak perfection.

At this moment, the main body of the human emperor banner still enveloped the entire Undying Mountain, yet internally it had carved out two separate, non-interfering, bizarre battlefields. Even the Forbidden Zone Supremes from other forbidden zones could not sense the earth-shaking upheaval occurring inside Undying Mountain.

“Alright, it's quiet now.” Chu Tianjiao clapped his hands as if dusting them off, his calm gaze sweeping over the five Supremes whose faces had turned incredibly ugly.

“Come at me together. Remember, only through Ultimate Sublimation will you have a slight chance of surviving my hands. This time... I'm getting serious.”

He clenched his fists, his knuckles letting out crisp pops. The Chaos Qi around him began to flow slowly. It wasn't an explosion, but a concentration so extreme it felt heavy enough to crush the eternal blue sky.

“What arrogance!”

“You're looking for death!”

“Who do you think you are!”

The Supremes were both shocked and enraged, shouting their curses.

They could sense that Chu Tianjiao's aura was now worlds apart from the "fatally wounded" state he was in two months ago. However, their long-standing arrogance and their fixed impression of him as a "dying man" made them still harbor a sliver of hope.

The Stone Emperor snorted coldly, suppressing the unease in his heart as he tried to find a weakness:

“You were ambushed by the Immortal Emperor and backstabbed by Emperor Yuhua; your injuries definitely haven't fully recovered! What makes you think you can handle five Supremes in their state of Ultimate Sublimation all by yourself?”

He tried to use words to shake Chu Tianjiao's state of mind while also boosting the morale of his own side.

“What makes me think so?” A cold arc curled on the corner of Chu Tianjiao's mouth. There was no warmth in that smile, only absolute confidence and disdain. “With my... fists, of course.”

The moment the last word fell—

“BOOM!!!”

There was no warning, no gathering of power, and not even an afterimage left behind.

In the instant the Divine Thought of the Stone Emperor and the others sensed a spatial ripple, Chu Tianjiao's figure had already appeared like a ghost behind that ancient War Emperor clad in bronze battle armor and holding a broken halberd.

This War Emperor's reaction was by no means slow. In a life-or-death moment, he exploded with all his potential, sweeping back his broken halberd and bringing forth a halberd light that could annihilate a galaxy. The ancient runes on his bronze armor instantly lit up, transforming into an indestructible barrier.

He didn't even have time to roar, only condensing a lifetime of combat experience and Imperial Dao Law into this single act of offense and defense.

However, it was useless.

Chu Tianjiao simply threw a punch.

The fist was simple and unadorned, with no brilliant divine light or deafening roar. There was only the silent annihilation of the Void Realm wherever the fist passed, turning it back into the most primitive Chaos.

The halberd light, which was enough to kill a Peak Quasi-Emperor or heavily injure someone of the same rank, dissolved like snow meeting fire upon touching the fist. The bronze armor, engraved with Ancient Emperor Formation runes and unbroken through countless great wars, was as fragile as paper as the fist lightly "pressed" against it.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

The next instant—

“Pfft!”

It wasn't an explosion, but a faint sound like a bubble bursting.

The ancient War Emperor, along with his bronze armor, the broken halberd, his terrified eyes, and the Imperial Dao Law he had just raised, were all transformed by this single punch into a fine mist of crimson blood mixed with metallic shards and bone fragments!

The blood mist instantly filled the entire chaotic space. The essence of Imperial Blood, so rich it wouldn't disperse, radiated staggering energy fluctuations, yet it was firmly locked in by the space and could not escape.

An Ancient Emperor who had undergone Ultimate Sublimation and returned to the Peak of the Imperial Dao had failed to withstand even a single move before being completely blown apart, body and soul destroyed!

This cruel and direct scene caused the remaining five Supremes—the Stone Emperor, the Undying Daoist, and three nameless Supremes—to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their blood almost freezing.

“!!!”

There were no roars or screams, only a deathly silence and the thick, rust-scented blood mist permeating the air, testifying to how real and terrifying everything that had just happened was.

At the exact same moment Chu Tianjiao's punch destroyed the War Emperor—

In the outside world, beneath the endless starry sky and above the vast Big Dipper Astral Region, blood rain began to fall from the sky without any warning!

“Shhh...”

Crimson raindrops, carrying an aura of desolation and sorrow, drifted down from the Nine Heavens, covering the Eastern Wasteland, Central Continent, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, and Northern Plains... The entire Emperor Burial Star and even the nearby Star Domains were covered by this blood-colored rain.

“Wooo—”

The Great Dao of the Universe was wailing. The Ten Thousand Laws manifested traces of sorrow, as if heaven and earth were weeping for the fall of an Emperor who once ruled the galaxy and whose glory shone upon an era.

“What's happening?!”

“Blood rain from the sky, the Great Dao is wailing... A Supreme has fallen?!”

“Who is it? Which forbidden zone's Supreme has emerged? Or could it be...”

On the Emperor Burial Star, the powerhouses of all Holy Lands, Imperial Dynasties, and Great Sects were startled. They rushed out of their seclusion one after another, looking up at the sky with faces full of shock and fear.

This sight was not entirely unfamiliar to them. Two months ago, when ten Supremes fell outside the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, a similar event occurred, though this was not as intense as the fall of ten Supremes.

However, the fact that another Supreme had fallen only a month later still left them deeply shocked and terrified.

Within the various Life Forbidden Zones, terrifying Divine Thoughts were awakened once again, sweeping through the starry sky in an attempt to find the source.

“Blood rain! Another Supreme has fallen!”

“The aura... comes from the direction of Undying Mountain? No, that's not right, it's being obscured; it's very blurry!”

“Who is making a move? That mysterious ambusher? Or... is Emperor Jiaoheng not dead? Impossible!”

“Too fast! How long has it been? The battle is already over?”

The Supremes were suspicious and uncertain, their Divine Thoughts clashing and communicating intensely in the starry sky.

They could feel their kind falling rapidly, but they couldn't pinpoint the location, let alone see the specific situation.

The fear brought by this unknown was even greater than witnessing the battle firsthand.

However, before they could recover from the shock of the first Supreme's fall—

“Whoosh—!!!”

The blood rain in the sky suddenly became denser and more torrential! It was as if a hole had been poked through the firmament, and a river of blood was pouring down!

“Wooo—Buzz—!!!”

The wailing of the Great Dao suddenly intensified, becoming rapid and continuous, as if several Emperors were falling at the same time. The Ten Thousand Laws were trembling and howling! The essence of the entire Universe was fluctuating violently, and countless stars flickered uncertainly.

“It's not just one! Multiple Supremes are falling simultaneously or in quick succession!” In the depths of the Ancient Mine of Primordial Beginning, an ancient Supreme let out a low growl, his voice filled with disbelief.

“It's that direction... although it's obscured, the source is definitely near Undying Mountain!” a Supreme in the God Ruins asserted.

“Could it be the existence that ambushed Emperor Jiaoheng is now acting against Undying Mountain? What does he want to do? Cleanse the forbidden zones?”

“Or could it be... we've all been deceived? Emperor Jiaoheng, he...” A Supreme in the Immortal Mausoleum thought of a terrifying possibility but then immediately dismissed it. “No, impossible. He was seen being ambushed and backstabbed by Yuhua; his Imperial body was broken, how could he...”

More and more Supremes turned their gazes toward Undying Mountain, but that area was shrouded by a mysterious and powerful force. Their Divine Thoughts could not penetrate it; they could only see the intensifying blood rain and hear the wailing.

An oppressive feeling, like the calm before a massive storm, hung over the hearts of all the Forbidden Zone Supremes.
