This would be a bloodbath.
Because the Celestial Punishment had been relaxed.
Emperor's Weapons could enter the fray.
Unleashing the Mighty Power of the Great Emperor First Layer Heaven.
No matter how peerless and heaven-defying a Quasi-Emperor's combat power was, they would still die if struck by an Emperor's Weapon!
Although the Primordial Sect Disciples did not fear death,
resurrection took time.
Thus, the pressure on the Primordial Sect for challenging the Chaotic Star Celestial Domain alone was immense. They couldn't afford any carelessness or underestimation.
While the Primordial Sect was clearing the field,
within the roiling, roaring Chaos at the center,
Wu Dao's many Incarnations stood like a dam of Chaos God-Demons, their expressions indifferent as they watched the white Bone Mirror at the center, which was emitting a deathly light.
Without a doubt,
this was an Emperor's Weapon.
Its entire body was wreathed in the Netherworld aura of the Mud Furnace Purgatory, which felt somewhat familiar. It reminded Wu Dao of the Eighth Layer's Mirror Bone Purgatory he had once experienced.
Those who entered this prison would have their very bones and souls reflected away into oblivion by the mirror.
Their souls would be slowly assimilated by the mirror's light, becoming another one of the mirror bones within the prison.
During this process,
one would experience a pain countless times more terrifying than death by a thousand cuts, feeling with horrifying clarity as their microscopic Essence, Qi, and Spirit were sliced apart by mirrors growing from within.
The duration and repetition of this agony
were an astronomical figure.
The Human World had connections to the Netherworld. This Emperor's Weapon-grade Bone Mirror was most likely forged in imitation of the Eighth Layer of the Eighteen Netherworlds.
"Have they arrived?"
Not much time had passed.
The smile on Wu Dao's lips began to turn ferocious. He sensed two massive Faith Channels opening within the Bone Mirror, through which beings whose rage could collapse the universe were descending!
The first reinforcement to arrive
was an old acquaintance.
One with a very foul temper!
"You dog-damned bastards of the Primordial Sect! I'm going to hack you to pieces!"
BOOM!!
A towering, black, vicious figure, like an Ancient Fierce Beast, was the first to charge out of the Bone Mirror. It brutally shattered the Chaos of the Ten Directions, like a Little Cosmos hurtling through space!
He had a large, shiny bald head, a Heaven-Supporting Physique with muscles that rippled like Divine Mountains, and pores that spewed a tyrannical and ferocious torrent of destruction. In his hand, he wielded an Emperor's Axe that gushed with the Netherworld's Earth Evil Qi!
The familiar aura and appearance.
It was none other than Ming Ao, the Extreme Quasi-Emperor from the Human World who had pursued Wu Dao in the Asura Emperor's Tomb, and had achieved Horizontal Refining Thirteen Paths Three Steps Perfection!
However,
that was in the past.
After not seeing him for a while,
this foul-mouthed bastard had actually stepped into the Half-step Chaos Body realm. Such a feat was rare even in Shanhai Pass, and it was likely related to the Dragon Hunting Tower.
The Dragon Hunting Tower specialized in Transverse Cultivation.
The Human World specialized in the Divine Soul.
'Those two pests must have cooperated, exchanging resources with each other.'
'A Half-step Chaos Body.'
'No wonder Ming Ao is so arrogant. A Quasi-Emperor at this level, one who achieved it through Transverse Cultivation, is qualified to look down on all enemies of the same rank.'
Of course,
that didn't include Wu Dao.
Ming Ao's meager accomplishment
was nothing to brag about in a place like Shanhai Pass, which was a den of monsters. Any random Little Ancestor from the Four Great Primordial Races was a Half-step Chaos Body!
Not to mention their advancements in other areas as well.
As for comparing him to Wu Dao?
In a word:
A firefly vying with the brilliant moon!
"KILL!!"
Amidst a roar like the crack of Celestial Thunder,
Ming Ao, wielding the Black Axe, an Emperor's Weapon forged from the Earth Evil Qi of All Heavens, resembled a God and Demon at the Heaven and Earth Creation. He clove through the boundless Chaos with one swing, his roaring evil qi leading the charge.
He had only just broken through to the Half-step Chaos Body realm.
He was now filled with tyrannical confidence, and with an Emperor's Weapon in hand, he didn't give a damn about any other Quasi-Emperor, believing he alone could sweep the entire battlefield!
And then...
CLANG—
SMACK!!
In a hundred-millionth of a second,
the light of the Earth Evil Axe collided with the Chaos Killing Saber!
Resplendent Emperor's Might shook the Grand Cosmos in all Ten Directions!
A hand, heavier than a billion heavens and earths, reached out and viciously slapped Ming Ao. He was sent flying like a dead dog, his mouth of teeth shattered and his skull cracked open!
If not for the protection of his Emperor's Weapon,
he would have been blown to bits by that one slap!
'Who am I?'
'Where am I?'
'What am I doing?'
As he shot backward like a meteor, blasting through layers of spacetime, Ming Ao was dumbfounded for a moment. His head was ringing, and his Divine Soul's thoughts descended into chaos.
He was a Half-step Chaos Body!
Wielding an Emperor's Weapon!
He had emerged from his seclusion in an absolutely peerless state!
He was supposed to sweep away all enemies beneath the Great Emperor realm.
But now...
he had been swatted away like a fly!
And the one who hit him wasn't even a Great Emperor!
That one slap...
...had nearly shattered his Dao heart!
BUZZ!
But before Ming Ao could react,
an Evil Ghost-like smile magnified in his vision, and a demonic voice, mocking and cruel, spoke: "Little cutie, do you still recognize me? How about this uncle plays a game with you?"
'That bastard from last time?'
In a flash of thought,
Ming Ao recognized 'Wu Dao.'
'Little cutie...'
'Uncle?!'
"You son of a bitch, how dare you insul—"
THUD!
A boundlessly heavy headbutt smashed down!
The ferocious and detestable Ming Ao's head was hammered into pulp, turning him from a fly into a headless fly!
"The game is called Whack-a-Mole!"
Wu Dao, bathed in the splattering Chaos blood, looked like an Asura Demon God incarnate!
CRACKLE CRACKLE~
He cracked his neck, a ferocious smile on his face.
He wielded his Chaos Killing Saber,
cleaving aside the Earth Evil Axe that was trying to protect its master.
With the crushing momentum of a falling singularity, he once again caught up to Ming Ao, who was hurtling through spacetime, and viciously stomped on the head that had just regenerated.
Last time, in the Asura Emperor's Tomb,
he had been relentlessly hunted by Ming Ao.
Now, the tables had turned.
He was stronger than Ming Ao!
And the strong were meant to viciously humiliate the weak!
'I said we're playing Whack-a-Mole,'
'and I won't play anything else.'
'I'm going to beat Ming Ao until he becomes a coward who won't show his face!'
'You have an Emperor's Weapon, and so do I.'
'Our external power is equal.'
And he, Wu Dao, was invincible in the same realm.
Dealing with this Ming Ao was no different from crushing an ant.
"Crush them!"
"What the hell is the Primordial Sect!"
"Kill!"
But just then,
the Chaos was annihilated, and all Ten Directions were extinguished!
Amidst war cries that reverberated through the cluster of universes, the main forces of the Human World and the Dragon Hunting Tower arrived!
All of them were at the limit of the Quasi-Emperor realm!
The Dragon Hunting Tower's forces were, on average, Half-step Chaos Bodies, with a few who were no weaker than the Little Ancestors of the Four Great Primordial Clans of Mountain and Sea!
And every single one of them had an Emperor's Weapon!
Their level of extravagance was no less than that of the Primordial Sect!
VMMMM—
At this moment,
the various Incarnations of Wu Dao standing in the Ten Directions also opened their eyes. Their colossal figures materialized from the Magnetic Field, and wielding Emperor's Weapons that had been revived to their limit, they charged out like fierce dragons breaking free from a gate!
BOOM—RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!
A world-destroying, peerless collision!
It erupted in the span of a single thought.
The clash of Emperor's Weapons detonated with heaven-shaking thunder. The laws and order of the Celestial Domain, as fragile as paper, instantly shattered and exploded. The boundless divine light of this resplendent Great Era expanded, unleashing ring after ring of universe-destroying shockwaves!
This cluster of universes,
in an instant, met its apocalypse!
The might of Great Emperors erupting from the point of conflict was utterly terrifying. The resulting shockwaves were like a gale blowing away marbles, sweeping up entire universes and tearing them into a raging tide of spacetime fragments!
BOOM!!!
After building up to its absolute limit,
the raging tide of cosmic fragments, like an erupting ancient volcanic abyss, completely broke through the spacetime collapse where this cluster of universes was located. It surged out into the Chaotic Star Celestial Domain, spraying everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers!
Countless fragments, like points of firefly light,
shot wildly through the surrounding starry sky. They smashed through one Star Sea after another, through layer after layer of spacetime worlds, creating an unprecedented catastrophe!
"Damn it, those animals!!"
On the outskirts of the Vermilion Bird Dao,
the Quasi-Emperors from various factions across the Chaotic Star Celestial Domain who had come as reinforcements all watched with eyes splitting from rage at the distant starry abyss that had exploded into Chaos, spewing cosmic fragments like a volcano!
Even across the vast distance of spacetime,
they could feel the immense radiation from the Emperor's Weapons. It was obvious that the three sides had deployed a massive number of Emperor's Weapons and were engaged in a fierce battle!
A single Emperor's Weapon
could destroy a Grand Cosmos at will.
With so many Emperor's Weapons clashing and slaughtering without restraint, countless worlds would be destroyed in an instant, and immeasurable lives would be lost!
Since the Five Tribulations,
Chaotic Star Heaven had never experienced such a terrifyingly violent incident!
These three malignant tumors, these pests,
were acting without scruple, bringing ruin to all living things.
They clearly had no regard for Chaotic Star Heaven whatsoever!
