In the Heavenly Court, the Great Heavenly Venerate sat upright, watching the great battle on the Infinite Realm Battlefield through the World Monitoring Mirror.
“Something’s wrong with the Northern Emperor!” Star Lord Taibai said hesitantly.
“He severed a part of himself, which means he had cut off the way for him to move onward!” the Great Heavenly Venerate said.
“Severed a part of himself?” Star Lord Taibai was shocked, “Could it be that the legend is true? That the Northern Emperor has two bodies?”
“Kunpeng is a very special creature. He is a Roc in the sky and a Kraken in the water. The two bodies are one, yet they can be differentiated. Now that he has cut one part of himself, his origin is no longer complete, and can be regarded as the self-destruction of his own Dao.” The Great Heavenly Venerate tone had a glint of regret in it, “I didn’t expect that he would be forced to such an extent!”
“This…” Star Lord Taibai was horrified, but continued inexplicably, “This child of the mortal realm has not even entered the Great Overarching Realm. Even if he is a heaven-defying genius, it is impossible that he could force the Northern Emperor to such a degree. Could it be…”
He looked at the Tianyuan World in the corner of the mirror.
“There should be something special there!” The Great Heavenly Venerate nodded.
There was a great change in the mirror.
“Seven-Star Formation Array, arranged by seven Great Overarching Star Masters, can trap a Quasi-Sage expert. With the blessing of the authority of the Heavenly Court, this formation can even grind down the expert who has just stepped into the Quasi-Sage Realm!” The Great Heavenly Venerate commented, “It can be confirmed now. That place on the mortal world can seal off the power of authority.”
“To seal the power of authority… Doesn’t that mean…” Star Lord Taibai shuddered.
Meanwhile, the Great Heavenly Venerate did not speak a word.
Not long after, Jiang Ming launched his barrage of attacks and all seven Star Masters died.
Star Lord Taibai had a look of astonishment, “How…How did he do it?”
“Continue watching!” The Great Heavenly Venerates expression became even more serious.
Seeing Jiang Ming evoked the World’s Projection, producing the crisscrossing and dense chains of laws, Star Lord Taibai’s pupils shrank. As a flash of shock went through his mind, he suddenly felt he had a certain enlightenment from it.
“Your Majesty, is this the legendary World’s Dao?” Star Lord Taibai almost exclaimed, “The law of the Golden Immortals. Doesn’t that mean that his small chiliocosm has been completed? But he is from the human realm! How did he do it?”
Star Lord Taibai was deeply puzzled and shocked at the same time.
“I want to know too!” The Great Heavenly Venerate said faintly, “Once he breaks the bottleneck and the small chiliocosm enters the middle chiliocosm level, the Holy Dao will be right in front of him.”
There was an imperceptible hint of envy in his tone.
Star Lord Taibai grinned secretly upon listening. Right after, he couldn’t help exclaiming, “He, he, he can detonate the Great Overarching Dao Vessels! How did he do it?”
The Great Heavenly Venerate glanced at him lightly.
Star Lord Taibai gave a wry smile, bowed and saluted, “Your old servant’s is greatly astounded. I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
“I’m also surprised!” The Great Heavenly Venerate suddenly sighed, “No wonder he was able to break out of the Seven-Star Formation Array! A small chiliocosm and can even detonate Great Overarching Dao vessels. Given the Northern Emperor’s current situation, I’m afraid the outcome is not optimistic!”
“Your Majesty, what if the Northern Emperor was killed?”
“This Infinite Realm Battlefield does not allow the descent of Quasi-Sage experts. As the Northern Emperor of Heavenly Court, Kunpeng violated the laws of heaven without authorization; Because of the great battle, the whole world has changed and millions and millions of souls are affected.” The Great Heavenly Venerate continued, “His sin is unforgivable. But the position cannot be left empty…”
He paused, then said, “Is killing the Northern Emperor considered a huge crime?”
“Your Majesty!” Star Lord Taibai turned pale and lowered his head suddenly.
“You’re becoming more and more cowardly!” The Great Heavenly Venerate snorted, his eyes narrowed, and a cold expression flashed, “You Northern Emperor! I really underestimated you and your wild ambitions. As for the rest of you lots, how dare you intervene! Very well then!”
In the Infinite Realm Battlefield, four Great Overarching Dao Vessels were detonated simultaneously. The power that erupted was far beyond everyone’s imagination.
It did not matter if it was the power of laws, orders, rules, time-space or whatever the laws of the great chiliocosm was. All of them were torn to shreds, annihilated completely by the outburst of power.
At the critical juncture, Kunpeng mobilized the power of authority once again, but was easily destroyed as well.
“Mystical Arcane Blue Water Flag!”
He did not care that this supreme weapon had its origin damaged already, as he desperately evoked its potential and unleashed the power of protection.
The blue light glowing faintly should have been invincible in defense, but it still couldn’t stop the power of eruption.
As the light dissipated, the great artifact let out a whimper, and it was suddenly divided into a flagpole and a flag. It was completely crippled to the extent that even the imprint inside it was erased, as it fell into the depths of time and space.
“War Vessel Three Thousand Strike!”
Kunpeng felt a little bit in despair. With a flicker of the light, he turned into another form: a bird-headed human body.
However, his aura also skyrocketed, as he evoked his life-defining techniques.
Boom!
The torrent swept in, crippling all that stood against it.
The moment Jiang Ming detonated the four Great Overarching Dao Vessels, he teleported back into the Tianyuan World to protect himself with the power of the Saint Province Dao Square.
“This attack is really terrifying!” His face was pale and he was not feeling well.
However, looking at the destructive storm ahead, it was even more shocking.
The Tianyuan Sea over there was completely destroyed. The seawater had completely evaporated and a bottomless abyss was bombarded on the bottom of the sea.
In the distance, the earth cracked and it spread to the ends of the sky.
The sky collapsed, causing the torrent of time and space to pour down, but was weakened by inexplicable forces, and finally dissipated into thin air.
As the storm swept over, Jiang Ming raised his hand to press against it, minimizing its impact to a mere breeze.
There were even slight fluctuations in the Tianyuan World, as if an earthquake, but it was not a big problem.
Jiang Ming watched on silently as he called up the Human Path Record, which suspended mid-air in front of him, and flipped to the page related to Kunpeng.
The power of destruction gradually subsided.
“He’s not dead yet! Such a tenacious life!” Jiang Ming muttered, turned into light and rushed over. The World Projection had been manifested and was in a state between existence and non-existence, covering a radius of thousands of miles, forming a subtle oscillating force.
Passing through the storm, he came over to Kunpeng.
This time however, the Northern Emperor of the Heavenly Court was in a very miserable state. Two of his legs were gone and so was one of his arms. There was only a bird head and half of his rib cage left, connected to a left arm. Even so, the remaining part seemed to be almost completely disintegrated. The remaining parts of his body still shone with divine light, resisting the final force of destruction.
“Black Emperor, any last words?” The Mythical Arcane Halberd in Jiang Ming’s hand was raised high, as the power that could split the world was condensed on it.
“Do you really think you can kill me?” Kunpeng’s primordial spirit shook and echoed the sounds of the Dharma.
Jiang Ming’s halberd swung down for the final blow.
Right this very moment, the void split open, and a spear suddenly appeared, blocking the halberd.
The next moment, a figure ripped apart the void and descended directly into the world. He grabbed the spear, and looked at Jiang Ming followed by another person appearing and standing in front of Kunpeng.
“Two Quasi-Sage experts from the Abyssal World!” Jiang Ming’s face turned sour.
The person on the left, wearing a blood-colored robe, had a purple horn between his eyebrows with red lines on his face. He looked very strange, but was at least, in humanoid form.
The one on the right held a spear, had a third eye between his eyebrows, and had four arms. He wore leather armor with his buffed up and exposed arm. A mere glance and you could tell he is full of endless power.
“I am the Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate of the Abyss Multi-Handed Clan!” The three-eyed man had a smile on his face, “He is the Hong Luo Demon Venerate. Boy, give us a face and let today’s matter be at rest.”
He waved the spear in his hand, and his threatening intent was clear as daylight.
“Three Eyes, Hong Luo! He is already at the end of his fight. It’s best to kill him now, snatch his great encounter, and strip him of his good fortune. Else, he will become a big problem sooner or later!” Kunpeng’s voice echoed in a hurry.
“This…” the Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate frowned, as he was a little hesitant.
A knife appeared in Hong Luo’s hand. It was extremely dark, and caused souls to tremble with just a glance. A blade that could split everything, flashed with a strange breathtaking power. It was a Quasi-Sage weapon.
“It seems that killing you is more beneficial!” Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate muttered.
Jiang Ming smiled, “You two. Do you really want to stop me? Do you want to kill me?”
“We have this intention!” The Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate nodded unabashedly, “It shouldn’t be difficult to kill you now!”
“Really?” In front of Jiang Ming, there were four Great Overarching artifacts appearing again, namely the God Annihilating Bow, the Emperor Star Palace, and two war swords.
As soon as the Great Overarching Dao Vessels appeared, both the Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate and Hong Luo Demon Venerate were shocked and retreated immediately.
After all, they saw that Jiang Ming was capable of detonating Great Overarching Dao Vessels with their very own eyes.
Four pieces of Dao Vessel exploding at the same time meant that there was an 80% chance of them falling to their demise on the spot.
“The Black Emperor is already my sworn mortal enemy, and death is the only ending for either one of us!” Jiang Ming said, “If you save him. He will definitely seek revenge on me, and even have the opportunity to kill me after he recovers. So, saving him means you two will become my mortal enemy and death is the only ending for us. Have you two made up your mind? Do you really want to be my enemy for this half-crippled bird person?”
Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate frowned, feeling a little troublesome over the matter, and said after a thought, “Northern Emperor is of great use to us and we can’t help but save him. I give you my word that from now on, the Northern Emperor will not seek revenge on you!”
“Haha!” Jiang Ming laughed, and then looked at the Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate, “You promise? Who do you think you are? The enemy who saves my mortal enemy is my mortal enemy. From now on, I will not stop hunting you down till I’m dead! It’s okay for you two to leave now. Otherwise …”
He was extremely persistent and must be so. In fact, it did not matter who came forth today.
The four large Great Overarching Dao Vessels in front of him flashed an immortal light at the same time.
The Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate’s face sank, revealing a ruthless look, and said with a savage smile, “Boy, do you really think that if the Great Overarching Dao Vessels self-destruct, you can kill both of us? You don’t seem to know what the two of us represent. We represent the nine Demon Venerates of the abyss, one hundred Demon Emperors, tens of thousands of Devil Kings, one million Demon Kings, and hundreds of millions of Devil Generals!”
“Not mentioning the power of the abyss, can you stop the two of us? It’s already unbelievable that you held on for so many great battles consecutively when you are not even in the Great Overarching Realm. I don’t believe you have much immortal essence left in you! Little guy, don’t throw the face that’s given to you!” Today, we are protecting the Northern Emperor for sure! If you still don’t know what’s good for you, you’ll be beheaded, and all the human beings in your land will be wiped out!” The Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate sneered.
If it weren’t for the fear of the four Great Overarching Dao Vessels in front of him, he wouldn’t be as so long-winded as he would have gone on with it a long time ago.
Who would want to squabble if the thing could be resolved with action? What’s more, they were lawless Demon Venerates.
“I’m saying it for the last time too!” Jiang Ming raised a finger and said coldly, “If you stop me, I will never stop until I die! Once mortal animosity is tied on, it will be unresolvable for all eternity.”
“What an arrogant and domineering little guy!” The murderous intent in the eyes of Thousand-Handed Demon Venerate almost condensed into reality, “Northern Emperor, you go first! Go directly to the abyss! I’ll see if he dares to make any moves!”
“Alright, I’ll leave the place to you!” Black Emperor said, gave Jiang Ming a cold glance, and flashed a cruel look. He then raised his head to look up at the sky again as the cold color in his eyes became more intense, turning into a stream and went off.
“The Abyss! Very well then!” Jiang Ming raised his hand and was about to detonate the four Great Overarching Dao vessels, but suddenly stopped and had a strange look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Kunpeng’s screams echoed, wailing abnormally terrifyingly.
“Haha!” A loud laughter followed suit, rolling like a thunderstorm, swept across the earth, and spread throughout the Infinite Realm Battlefield. The laughter was filled with pleasure and the catharsis of hundreds of millions of years, “Kunpeng! Finally you have your day!”
In the distance, an old man shattered the remnant of Kunpeng’s body and was grabbing onto his primal spirit with one hand.
In the palm of his hand, the True Fire of Nine Heavens Pure Yang was burning, refining Kunpeng’s primal spirit. It didn’t take long before more than half of his primal spirit was destroyed.
“Mountain Master Tian Yuan, why?” Kunpeng let out a desperate roar.
