91: Chapter 91 Killing a Supreme Being is Like Slaughtering a Dog
That was the smile of the Jiaoheng Great Emperor—domineering, arrogant, and looking down on the world.
"Come."
He spoke softly, yet his voice reached the ears of every Supreme clearly.
"If you can slaughter me today, not only will you live a new life, but you will also take a step further."
He raised his hand, and the aura around him began to change.
It was no longer Emperor Might or Chaos Qi, but an aura even more lofty, vast, and indescribable.
It was the aura of an Immortal.
"If you ask why..."
Chu Tianjiao's body began to glow as strand after strand of Immortal Qi surged from within him, swirling around his form. Three strands of incredibly pure Immortal Qi intertwined, forming the pillars of his True Immortal Dao foundation.
"It is because I have already stepped into the Immortal Dao Domain!"
"I am—an Immortal!"
As his words fell, he no longer concealed his True Immortal aura, and Supreme immortal light erupted from his body!
The light was so dazzling and vast that it instantly illuminated the entire Starry Sky Battlefield. Over twenty auras of Great Emperors in Ultimate Sublimation were instantly suppressed before this immortal might, like fireflies before a bright moon.
The Supremes rushing toward him suddenly froze, looks of disbelief appearing on their faces.
"Impossible!"
"How can anyone in this world achieve Immortal Ascension!"
"Doesn't Immortal Ascension require entering the Immortal Realm? Why can you achieve Immortal Ascension?!"
Countless Supremes cried out in alarm, their voices filled with terror and disbelief.
Chu Tianjiao did not answer their questions.
He raised his hand and summoned the Tyrant Saber.
The moment the Tyrant Saber fell into his hand, the blade hummed, and the Nine-Colored Immortal Gold patterns glowed to their limit, as a pressure that also transcended Emperor Weapons spread out.
He raised his hand again, and the human emperor banner fell from the sky into his other hand.
"Xiao Shitou."
He spoke.
Xiao Shitou stood beside him, his golden blood-qi soaring to the heavens, with a raging Battle Intent burning in his eyes.
"Today marks the first time we fight side by side."
Chu Tianjiao patted his shoulder.
Xiao Shitou nodded heavily. "Yes, Teacher! I will not let you down!"
"Good." A trace of gratification flashed in Chu Tianjiao's eyes. "Then you are responsible for cutting off their rear; do not let them escape."
Xiao Shitou was startled for a moment but then understood his teacher's meaning. He nodded heavily, flickered away to the edge of the battlefield, and his Sacred Body aura erupted fully, sealing off all escape routes for the Supremes.
Chu Tianjiao turned around to face the twenty-odd figures filled with fear and shock.
He raised the human emperor banner in his hand and tossed it lightly.
The human emperor banner soared into the sky, its cloth instantly unfurling to blot out the sun and sky, completely enveloping the entire Starry Sky Battlefield.
Golden rain of light fell, and the chaos heaven-opening diagram slowly circulated on the banner's surface, as a power to seal the heavens and lock the earth spread out.
"Come."
Chu Tianjiao raised the Tyrant Saber in his hand, pointing the blade directly at the group of Supremes opposite him.
In his eyes, a long-lost Battle Intent burned.
"Let us complete what we failed to finish back then—the Final Battle!"
Opposite him, the twenty-odd Supremes in Ultimate Sublimation heard his words, and the unwillingness and anger in their hearts finally erupted completely.
They no longer had any way out.
With Ultimate Sublimation, their path of retreat was cut off.
Escape was impossible—the human emperor banner had sealed the entire battlefield, and Xiao Shitou stood guard at the edge, the Sacred Body Great Emperor's aura firmly locking onto anyone who thought of fleeing.
There was only one path left.
"Kill!"
"Kill this Jiaoheng Great Emperor, devour his Origin, and live a new life!"
"Kill, kill, kill!!!"
Countless Supremes let out frenzied roars, igniting their last bits of Origin and blood-qi, turning into streaks of destructive light as they charged toward Chu Tianjiao.
"Kill!"
Chu Tianjiao also let out a long-lost roar, raising the Tyrant Saber to meet the charge of the Supremes!
The Tyrant Saber slashed out, the blade light pouring like the Milky Way, instantly sending the three Supremes at the front flying!
Emperor blood splattered, and the Great Dao wailed.
The human emperor banner fluttered loudly overhead, golden rain of light falling, sealing off all retreat.
This battle had finally begun.
The moment the Tyrant Saber slashed out, the Starry Sky Battlefield seemed to be split in two.
The blade light poured like the Milky Way, but it was no ordinary light—it was the Law of the Immortal Dao condensed to the extreme, a Supreme edge empowered by three strands of Immortal Qi. The three Supremes at the front didn't even have time to react before the blade light reached them.
*Pfft!*
Three heads flew high into the air!
Emperor blood gushed out like fountains, staining the entire starry sky red. Three Supremes in Ultimate Sublimation were actually like paper before the Tyrant Saber, decapitated in a single strike!
But this was only the beginning.
Before those three headless emperor bodies could even fall, three dim Primordial Spirits surged from their Immortal Platforms, letting out shrill screams as they tried to escape. But Chu Tianjiao gave them no chance at all—he raised his left hand and made a grasping motion.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Three muffled bangs rang out as the three Primordial Spirits exploded simultaneously, turning into a sky full of light rain that was instantly absorbed by the human emperor banner overhead.
One strike.
Three kills.
The Starry Sky Battlefield instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The Supremes rushing behind them suddenly stopped, looks of disbelief on their faces. Although they knew Chu Tianjiao was strong, that was based on knowledge from fifty thousand years ago. Fifty thousand years later, they thought he had at most lived out a fourth life and was only somewhat stronger than before.
But the scene before them completely overturned their understanding.
Slaying three Supremes in Ultimate Sublimation in one strike—this was no longer something that could be explained by being "somewhat stronger."
"What? Scared?"
Chu Tianjiao's voice rang out, calm with a hint of mockery. He raised the Tyrant Saber; the emperor blood on the blade was still flowing, dripping one by one into the Void Realm, each drop crushing a section of the starry sky.
"Weren't you shouting quite fiercely just now? Didn't you say that devouring me would let you live a new life? Come on."
He took a step forward.
As he took this step, the entire starry sky trembled. Those twenty-odd Supremes actually retreated a step in unison.
In the distance, Xiao Shitou stood at the edge of the battlefield, stunned by the sight.
He knew his teacher was strong.
Since attaining the Dao at eight hundred years old, his teacher had been constantly creating miracles. In his first life, he tore Supremes apart with his bare hands; in his second, he stepped into the Heavenly Emperor Realm; in his third, he tempered his heart in the Mortal World; and in his fourth, he achieved True Immortal status—Xiao Shitou thought he already understood his teacher's strength well enough.
But only now, seeing his teacher slay three Supremes in Ultimate Sublimation with a single strike, did he truly understand—
His teacher had never been serious in front of him before.
"Is... is this Teacher's true strength?"
Xiao Shitou murmured, his eyes filled with shock and admiration. He had cultivated under his teacher since childhood and believed he had caught up to his teacher's footsteps. But at this moment, he realized his teacher had long since stood at a height he could not reach.
That was the height of an Immortal.
"Kill! We cannot retreat! Retreating means death!"
A Supreme wearing blood-colored battle armor roared, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart. Blood light surged around him—power gained at the cost of burning his Origin. The blood-colored battle spear in his hand pierced the Void Realm, aiming directly for the space between Chu Tianjiao's brows.
"Exactly! Give it our all! No matter how strong he is, he's only one person!"
Another Supreme agreed, golden divine light soaring from his body to condense into a sky-opening giant axe, which hacked toward Chu Tianjiao from the flank.
With someone taking the lead, the other Supremes also suppressed their fear and attacked one after another.
A Supreme enveloped in black Devilish Qi raised his hand and unleashed a devil domain, where countless devilish shadows roared, turning into a towering wave that surged toward Chu Tianjiao to crush him.
A Supreme surrounded by lightning summoned a Nine Heavens Lightning Tribulation, with billions of bolts of lightning converging into a thunder Dragon that roared as it pounced on Chu Tianjiao.
A Supreme holding a bone staff chanted an ancient incantation, and countless skeletal phantoms appeared in the Void Realm, their eyes burning with ghostly green fire as they let out ear-piercing shrieks.
One, two, three...
Over twenty Supremes in Ultimate Sublimation attacked simultaneously!
