Looking at Lu Huan, whose body was overflowing with demonic energy, all the Earth Sovereign experts present revealed expressions of shock and fury.
"You actually dared to side with the Fiends, Lu Huan! Is your Demonic Saint Palace planning to sever itself from the Great Thousand World?!"
The enormous blood flood dragon in the sky swept its corrupted black eyes across the crowd below, revealing a look of disdain.
"A bunch of ant like creatures dare to bark in front of me?"
The black demonic fog resisted the golden light of the Great Wheel Bright King, and for a moment, the two sides actually fell into a stalemate.
This scene caused even Liu Bai to feel slightly surprised. He had not expected the demonic energy to be this powerful. Even with an entire major realm difference, it was still able to resist the purification power of the Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body.
However, Liu Bai quickly noticed something wrong. These demonic fogs were not entirely Lu Huan's power. Vaguely, it seemed that some existence hidden within the mountain range was controlling him.
"Not good!"
Liu Bai suddenly understood. The only one capable of influencing Lu Huan here could only be the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor!
Although Liu Bai was somewhat puzzled as to how the other party could still secretly assist Lu Huan while being sealed, the matter had already happened. The most important thing now was to eliminate Lu Huan, this unstable factor, first!
"Mandala, attack together and kill him, quickly!"
Liu Bai urgently transmitted his voice.
Although Mandala did not know the reason, she could hear the urgency in Liu Bai's tone. Instantly, she flew into the sky, and behind her appeared a blood red flower.
Lu Huan's expression immediately changed upon seeing this, knowing that he could no longer wait.
Right now, he had to break through this grand array and expose the plaza where the Heavenly Emperor had sealed the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. Only then could he attract everyone's attention and create a sliver of survival for himself.
Earlier, he had already sensed his "master's" aura and received the latter's demonic energy enhancement. He had only been waiting to accumulate enough strength to break free from the array's restraints.
However, Mandala's sudden intervention forced him to act ahead of schedule.
Roar!
Accompanied by a savage roar, the gigantic blood colored flood dragon stretching across the heavens opened its mouth and spat out an enormous demonic python toward the formation above.
Crack crack crack.
Under the terrifying demonic energy, even the Great Wheel Bright King Array began to show signs of failing to withstand it, as cracks started appearing one after another.
Liu Bai frowned slightly. The power of the Great Wheel Bright King Array depended on the Great Wheel Bright King Pearl used to refine it. It now seemed that a Great Wheel Bright King Pearl refined from the corpse of an ordinary Lesser Earth Sovereign might possess decent power, but its durability was still lacking.
However, this was not impossible to solve.
After exchanging a glance with Mandala and receiving her response, Liu Bai suddenly opened a gap in the grand array above.
Lu Huan was instantly overjoyed. He immediately reverted to human form and rushed out through the opening.
However, the moment he emerged, he saw Mandala raise her small hand. Endless dark light surged from her palm and transformed into enormous dark patterns before her. The patterns spread out and tightly bound Lu Huan.
Even the demonic energy surrounding Lu Huan was temporarily severed by the dark light, preventing it from helping him escape.
"Great Wheel Bright King, Purifying Dharma Wheel!"
Following Liu Bai's furious roar, spiritual light gathered in the right hand of the gigantic Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body, eventually condensing into a golden Dharma Wheel that directly slashed toward Lu Huan.
Buzz!
Where the Dharma Wheel passed, space itself tore apart.
Lu Huan only felt his vision completely swallowed by golden light, followed immediately by a burning pain that consumed his soul.
After a miserable scream, Lu Huan's body directly melted away within the golden light until he completely disappeared!
["Ding, successfully killed a late stage Greater Earth Sovereign demonic Blood Flood Dragon. Reward: five times experience. Obtained 30,000,000 experience points and 50,000 beast soul points."]
Hearing the notification, Liu Bai finally let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed Lu Huan had truly been killed.
It was no wonder he had been so cautious. These demonic creatures often produced unexpected complications, making them impossible to guard against.
Although Lu Huan had fallen, the dense demonic energy did not disappear. At this moment, it floated in the sky like rootless duckweed, continuously surging.
It was not that Liu Bai did not want to purify the demonic energy, but rather that he could not do it. Even with the purification power of the Great Wheel Bright King Golden Body, it would still require at least a year or half a year to completely erase it.
Unless Liu Bai directly used the Five Element Sealing Power to seal it.
But now was not the time to expose his Five Element Sealing Power. After all, Liu Bai could not determine whether the sealed Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor could sense what was happening here.
If the latter became prepared in advance, then Liu Bai's only trump card might lose its effectiveness.
Of course, after seeing Lin Jing and Xiao Xiao, Liu Bai had already changed his plan.
Since both girls had appeared, would their fathers really be far away?
At that time, he could simply leave the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor to those two to deal with. With Liu Bai's current strength, killing the former was fundamentally impossible anyway, so why make things difficult for himself?
"Look quickly, those black gases are actually fleeing!"
Suddenly, someone's voice awakened the crowd, who were still immersed in the overwhelming power of the Great Wheel Bright King Array.
Following the voice, they saw that the demonic energy that had originally remained as a single mass in the sky was now seemingly being drawn away, rapidly moving toward the area behind the mountains.
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes but did not move to stop it.
"So the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor really has awakened. It is just that with the Heavenly Emperor Sword sealing him, he cannot use his own power."
The reason Liu Bai did not stop it was precisely because he wanted the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor to reveal himself voluntarily.
Liu Bai glanced at Mandala before directly chasing after the demonic energy and rushing into the mountain range.
The latter immediately followed behind him, and their actions instantly triggered a chain reaction as figure after figure flew after them.
Facing the enormous mountain peak ahead, Liu Bai threw out a punch.
Boom!
The mountain instantly collapsed.
The gigantic plaza originally hidden within the mountain body was exposed to the sight of everyone in the world as the mountain crumbled apart.
Especially at the center of the plaza, where a figure immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It was a man dressed in green robes. His appearance was handsome and his figure imposing. Even though he merely stood there motionlessly, there was still a terrifying aura faintly emanating from him, as though he stood above heaven and earth themselves.
The area where he stood seemed to have become a special space. Even the surrounding space warped and changed according to his will.
With just a single glance, several Earth Sovereigns instantly spat out mouthfuls of blood as the spiritual energy within their bodies violently erupted!
This scene immediately horrified everyone. One after another, they hurriedly lowered their gazes. Even Liu Bai and Mandala were no exception.
"So powerful..."
Liu Bai inwardly exclaimed.
At that instant just now, even the spiritual energy within his own body had become restless. Fortunately, he had already been prepared and quickly suppressed it.
"So this is the Heavenly Emperor?" Liu Bai glanced at Mandala beside him and softly asked.
Mandala did not reply. She merely stared blankly at the figure in green robes, while complicated emotions surged within her deep dark eyes.
Back then, the Heavenly Emperor had brought her back from the void. At that time, she had still been young and already on the verge of death, yet the Heavenly Emperor forcibly saved her life. From then on, she had remained within the Ancient Heaven Palace to recuperate.
When the Feind Race invaded, she had also wanted to transform and fight, but the Heavenly Emperor had temporarily sealed her away. It was because of this that she avoided sharing the same fate of destruction as the Ancient Heaven Palace.
Therefore, she viewed the Heavenly Emperor with feelings akin to those toward a father or elder brother.
Yet by the time she awakened, everything had already changed.
"T... that is the Heavenly Emperor!"
Some trembling voices sounded, filled with deep reverence as well as a trace of greed.
Clearly, the surrounding people did not care about anything else. They had already determined that the man before them was the peerless expert who once stood at the summit of the Great Thousand World!
"So that is the Heavenly Emperor?"
Jiu You and the others also arrived at this moment. Lin Jing, whose face was filled with curiosity, tried hard to look toward the plaza as she gazed at the figure and could not help asking.
"Judging from their reactions, it should be..." Xiao Xiao lightly pursed her lips toward Mandala and Liu Bai's direction and calmly replied.
However, after recovering from the shock of seeing the "Heavenly Emperor," the crowd soon clearly saw the situation on the plaza.
At this moment, a crystal like longsword was held in the Heavenly Emperor's hand. The sword appeared extremely ancient and simple, almost like a rough and blunt sword embryo. Yet everyone could sense the terrifying power radiating from the crystal sword.
Every glimmer of cold light reflected from the crystal sword was capable of slicing space apart and carried a horrifying power.
At this moment, the crystal sword was stabbed into the ground beneath the Heavenly Emperor's feet. There lay a black skull around half a zhang in size. The head had already decayed, leaving behind only a black skull.
Yet it was precisely this seemingly decayed black skull that caused everyone present to feel a chilling coldness from the depths of their souls. That feeling seemed to contain an indescribable evil within it.
"That crystal sword could it be the legendary Heavenly Emperor Sword once wielded by the Heavenly Emperor? It is said to be a supreme treasure surpassing Saint Artifacts."
"That black skull, could it belong to the Demon Emperor who invaded the Skylaw Continent back then?"
"So it seems the Heavenly Emperor and that Demon Emperor truly perished together..."
"The demonic energy just now was absorbed by this Demon Emperor skull, right? Could it be that the Demon Emperor has not completely died yet?"
"..."
As the many experts looked at the scene on the plaza, they could not help whispering among themselves. However, most of their gazes flickered as they gradually became restless with desire.
"I advise everyone not to act rashly. This place is strange, and nobody knows what exactly happened back then. If someone triggers something, I fear none of us will be able to escape!" Liu Bai's voice rang out at the perfect moment, instantly waking many people from their greedy desires.
Of course, some awakened, while others became even greedier.
Faced with supreme treasures within arm's reach, naturally there were those who disregarded life and death entirely.
"Hehehe, then you can all keep watching. These treasures are mine!"
A voice rang out, followed by the sharp sound of rushing wind.
A Lesser Earth Sovereign was the first to lose patience and suddenly shot forward explosively.
His target was very clear. It was not the Heavenly Emperor Sword, but rather the Heavenly Emperor's remains.
After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sword was inserted into that evil skull, and nobody could guarantee what would happen if it were pulled out. Since that was the case, it was safer not to touch the Heavenly Emperor Sword for now and instead take the Heavenly Emperor's remains.
Perhaps the peerless Divine Ability One Qi Transforms into Three Purities was hidden within the Heavenly Emperor's body!
Many people were enraged upon seeing this scene, yet none of them moved to stop him.
Since someone was willing to become the test subject, they naturally did not mind letting another person test the waters for them.
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that after everything that had happened earlier, the top experts present had become much more rational. Without Lu Huan secretly stirring trouble from the shadows, Liu Bai also wanted to see just how much of his strength the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor could recover next.
Moreover, he was also waiting for someone to bring out the Heavenly Emperor's remains. Otherwise, the following events would become difficult to continue.
That person arrived beside the Heavenly Emperor's remains and, without wasting any words, directly grabbed them and fled. Clearly, he was terrified that some danger might suddenly appear and cost him his life.
However, even after flying beyond the range of the Heavenly Emperor Sword's influence, no abnormalities occurred at all. This caused the Lesser Earth Sovereign to sigh in relief while revealing a look of ecstasy.
But this scene also fell into the eyes of the others. Since there was no danger, everyone's greed immediately erupted without reservation, and a battle for the treasure instantly exploded!
Seeing this, Liu Bai smiled slightly and transmitted his voice to Jiu You and the others.
"Be careful. There is something wrong with those Heavenly Emperor remains!"
After warning them, he himself directly charged into the battlefield.
However, at this moment, nobody paid attention to him. Everyone's gaze was locked onto the Heavenly Emperor's remains as they crazily unleashed punch after punch.
"Get lost!"
Relying on his strength as an Greater Earth Sovereign, the Xia Emperor directly threw out a punch.
That punch was like a star exploding apart, erupting with such terrifying force that even space itself shattered.
Countless space fragments gathered around his fist and violently smashed into the chest of a Lesser Earth Sovereign.
Bang!
A deep sound echoed out as the Lesser Earth Sovereign's body was almost instantly pierced through. Were it not for the powerful vitality of an Earth Sovereign, he would already have died from that single punch.
However, before he could escape the battlefield, a five colored ray of light suddenly flew from nowhere and instantly shattered his head, annihilating his soul and killing him completely.
["Ding, successfully killed a peak Lesser Earth Sovereign. Reward: triple experience. Obtained 9,000,000 experience points and 1000 spiritual vein awakening points."]
A faint smile curled onto Liu Bai's lips after succeeding in the sneak attack. He had not expected to conveniently pick up a low health kill along the way. It seemed that not causing trouble for the Xia Emperor earlier had indeed brought some benefits.
Meanwhile, the Xia Emperor surprisingly did not seem to care that Liu Bai had stolen the kill. Instead, after seeing Liu Bai, he became alarmed and immediately reached toward the Heavenly Emperor's remains.
However, Liu Bai paid no attention to this at all, because from beginning to end, his true target had never been the so called "Heavenly Emperor's remains," but rather the Heavenly Emperor Sword on the plaza below.
