"What?"
"Can't even withstand a single move?"
People were shocked; everyone said the Great Emperor was a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the world, unrivaled across the land, unmatched by anyone.
However, the Nine-Headed Lion is also a realm child of a world, somewhat similar to an emperor, embodying the fortune of an entire realm and possessing overwhelming combat power.
At this moment, the Great Emperor should have been copied by the Heavenly Dao, and was at the same cultivation level as Long Chen and the others.
Even if the Nine-Headed Lion isn't a match for the Great Emperor, it should be able to hold out for a while. It shouldn't be taken down in a single move, right?
"A complete loser, with this little ability, dares to challenge the Emperor? Did you grow up eating? Having grown so tall for nothing. Seeing the nine-headed lion severed, Long Chen didn't gloat at others; instead, he cursed in anger.
Long Chen couldn't help but be angry. These people were the key to his successful tribulation, and he was counting on them to consume part of the Great Emperor's power so he could have a chance to cross the tribulation.
Otherwise, he'd be alone, facing the Five Emperors, and no matter how many lives he had, it wouldn't be enough. Besides, this was the final tribulation—the Five Emperors definitely wouldn't go easy on him. Whether Long Chen could survive depended on whether they were strong enough.
"Roar!"
The nine-headed lion was sliced in half at the waist, then suddenly let out a furious roar. The phenomenon behind him burst open, and from it, a world could be seen.
In this world, endless beasts roared, resonating with his fury. In that instant, boundless beastly might swept across the heavens.
The nine-headed lion's body instantly healed. Within his vision, countless beasts roared, shaking the sky. His aura surged more than ten times compared to before. Standing in the void, space kept twisting and shattering, as if it could no longer contain him.
At this moment, the Nine-Headed Lion finally displayed his terrifying power. His eyes flashed with ferocity, and his sharp claws reached into the air, aiming to grab down Emperor Hanwei.
The nine-headed lion's golden mane flew wildly, its body swelling a circle. He was already tall and imposing, and now he was even more terrifying. Emperor Hanwei's slender figure looked so frail before her.
Facing the nine-headed lion, empowered by otherworldly power and already in a berserk state, Emperor Hanwei remained calm and composed.
Her jade hand struck out, and a beam of light appeared, forming an arc as it slashed toward the nine-headed lion.
With a loud explosion, the arc of light shattered, and the nine-headed lion's claw was neutralized by Emperor Hanwei.
The nine-headed lion was both shocked and furious. His claw was a concentrated force of all his power, yet it was easily neutralized by Emperor Hanwei with a single move. How could the Emperor be so terrifying?
"At a time like this, you still want to hold back? Looks like you really look down on us. Fine, I'll make the first move." After speaking, Emperor Hanwei stretched out her jade hand:
"Buzz!"
Endless Heavenly Dao runes condensed, forming a chain stretching ten thousand miles. The chain seemed to connect both ends of the world, rapidly contracting, and finally forming a thin string.
"Zheng" Emperor Hanwei's
jade hand trembled, and with a pluck on the strings, heaven and earth trembled, and a thin beam of light shot out from the string.
A thin beam of light swept across the void, the world began to shift into displacement, and space was actually severed by this strike.
The string breaks heaven and earth, its sound resounds eternally astonishing. Using the laws of myriad paths as the strings, this strike seals heaven and earth, leaving no way to escape. The nine-headed lion is instantly locked in place.
The nine-headed lion was terrified. He roared, and two small heads above his head glowed. Two different laws converged, colliding with the beam of light.
"Boom!"
The heavens and earth trembled, the light exploded, but the nine-headed lion's two attacks were also shattered.
Before the
nine-headed lion could even breathe a sigh of relief, another Heavenly Dao string appeared before Emperor Hanwei. With a flick of his jade finger, another beam of light slashed down. The tone was different from before, but its power was even fiercer.
The second string had just emerged, the third string had already appeared, followed by the fourth and fifth.
"Boom boom boom... The
nine-headed lion roared in fury. The eight heads above his head glowed, his entire body enveloped in divine light. From the strange phenomenon behind him, billions of beasts roared, and boundless power poured into his body from the vision.
When he saw the second string, he sensed something was wrong. He unleashed his full power and charged at Emperor Hanwei, trying to stop Emperor Hanwei from condensing the strings. He knew that the more strings he condensed, the worse it would be for him.
Unfortunately, no matter how fiercely he attacked, the beams of light forced him back. Emperor Hanwei sat cross-legged in the void, her jade hand fluctuating, her five strings trembling, the zither music moving the heavens—grand and magnificent.
This is the overture to the Heavenly Dao, carrying endless heavenly might and inspiring awe. Emperor Hanwei is like a peaceful musician, playing the music of the Heavenly Dao.
But with every stroke of her strings, a fierce, invincible attack slashed toward the Nine-Headed Lion, forcing it to roar in fury. No matter how he counterattacked, it could never reach Emperor Hanwei.
While the Nine-Headed Lion was fighting Emperor Hanwei, Yun Shang, Qing Xu, Mo Li, and Ziyang had already made their moves, attacking Blood Fiend Demon Lord, Mo Luo Tianxing, Dragon Maiden, and Ye Ming respectively.
As soon as they clashed, they suffered a heavy blow. The Blood Fiend Demon Lord was shattered halfway by Emperor Yun Shang's punch. If he hadn't summoned a strange divine tower at the critical moment to block another move from Emperor Yun Shang, he would have been dead.
This sword is a domain artifact, on the same level as the five supreme artifacts of the Tianwu Continent, called the Blood Soul Tower. Within the Blood Soul Tower lies the will and power of a world.
The Blood Soul Tower erupted with endless divine light, shattering the sky. Various divine lights, chains, flying swords, and spears shot out from within the tower, each strike delivering the fiercest killing blow, changing the color of heaven and earth.
People were shocked. The domain artifacts were terrifying. With such a divine artifact protecting them, who could possibly stand against them?
By comparison, none of the five supreme artifacts of the Tianwu Continent—the South Sea Zither, the Western Desert Axe, and the Northern Source Sword—possess such terrifying power.
What they didn't know was that the South Sea Zither and Northern Source Sword had not yet recognized their master, while the Western Desert Axe had just recognized itself and was still recovering its strength, which is why it hadn't displayed the power expected of a self-respected divine artifact.
The Blood Fiend Demon Lord's Blood Soul Tower had accompanied him since childhood. Not only had it recognized its master, but its blood soul had already begun to merge, allowing it to unleash terrifying power.
But to everyone's shock, even though the Blood Fiend Demon Lord possessed the Blood Soul Tower, he was still forced to retreat repeatedly by Emperor Yun Shang.
Emperor Yunshang was barehanded, and with every movement he made, the heavens and earth shattered. His moves weren't particularly sophisticated, but each strike shattered vast expanses of the void, making the Blood Soul Tower hum.
Emperor Qingxu was dealing with Mo Luo Tianxing. Mo Luo Tianxing was clever and launched a full-scale attack from the start, unleashing the domain artifact, the Heavenly Demon Sword. Despite the endless demonic energy erupting, it was still suppressed by Emperor Qingxu.
"Qingxu, you've suppressed my demon realm for so many years. Today, I'm going to behead you." Mo Luo Tianxing roared in anger.
But no matter how hard Moluo Tianxing tried, his moves changed wildly, he was ultimately suppressed by Emperor Qingxu and could never gain the upper hand.
