"Kill!"
Xuanyuan Gaoyan wielded the Xuanyuan Halberd, radiance of Dao Affirmation blossoming wildly as he rose into the air. The halberd stabbed forward, terrifying Great Dao Gravity crushing the void. Countless figures were buried by the halberd light, crushed by the laws of gravity.
The people of the various southern Sects absorbed spiritual qi and the formation light was corroded. They couldn't dodge at all and were killed by the halberd. Then, the figures of the various Sects frantically fled in all directions.
With the formation broken, Xuanyuan Gaoyan charged out. A Dao Affirmation Great Emperor was fighting with his back to the wall. Who dared to stop him?
At this moment, Xuanyuan Gaoyan's laws and Dao Will were raised to the limit. The core formation had collapsed, but his heart was calm. With the Divine Palace Formation Emperor taking action, there was nothing in the world that couldn't be achieved.
Now, he only had one thought, and that was to fight. To fight to his heart's content, to fight to his heart's content.
Even if his life was coming to an end, he wanted to unleash the last of the Xuanyuan Royal Family's glory. He wanted the southern region to remember this moment and leave behind endless fantasies for future cultivators.
Enveloped in Dao Affirmation Great Emperor's light, Xuanyuan Gaoyan rose into the air, his battle intent raging. Apart from that, he had no other thoughts. It was as if he had returned to his youthful days, exuding unparalleled courage.
Beside him, Empress Jin Qiu also released her imperial qi. Strands of killing sword light swept out, cutting through the Great Dao of Space. No one could get close to her.
As the Empress of Southern Ao, her talent was naturally monstrous. In the past, she had countless suitors.
However, after marrying Xuanyuan Gaoyan, she gradually drifted away from the martial dao. She focused on assisting her husband and children, managing his harem.
At this moment, the Empress had regained her former glory. For a moment, her beauty was unparalleled. She even had a cultivation of the fourth level of the Great Emperor Realm.
Apart from that, the Empress was surrounded by many beautiful women, each with their own merits. They were all Xuanyuan Gaoyan's concubines, and many of them were Emperor Realm cultivators.
In the past, they had enjoyed all the glory in the harem. Xuanyuan Gaoyan shielded them from the wind and rain. Now that Southern Ao was about to perish, they had no regrets. Even if they were to fall into the Yellow Springs, they would have no regrets.
A sense of sadness filled the world. Xuanyuan Gaoyan was the first emperor to stand tall in the void, invincible. He was completely immersed in the joy of battle. Wherever he pointed his halberd, there was no one below the Dao Proving Realm who could stand up to him.
Buzz!
A beam of light from the Sky Splitting Tyrant Saber descended from the sky like a rolling wave, bringing with it the power of heaven and earth. The saber slashed through the crowd, forcing them to evade. Zhan Guang He once again attacked Xuanyuan Gaoyan. How could he allow him to kill the people of his sect?
"Good timing."
Xuanyuan Gaoyan raised his head and looked up. The sky seemed to be filled with Blade Might. Endless Blade Light condensed into one, as if cutting through the waves of the ocean. His Rules of Proving Way merged into the halberd, and his spiritual soul merged with the weapon. It was as if he had become the body of the halberd. He pierced up and collided with the Blade Might.
Whoosh!
With an ear-piercing shattering sound, the heavens seemed to have shattered. The two Dao Verification Emperors intertwined, and terrifying rays of light burst out all over the sky. Each ray of light could obliterate an Emperor Yuan powerhouse. If this aftershock were to spread out, there would be no survivors in this high sky.
"Attack!"
Sword Emperor Makumonji's expression was extremely solemn. With a thought, tens of thousands of sword Qi materialized out of thin air and turned into a sword curtain that fell down in all directions, turning into a wall of sword Qi that encircled the devastating aftershock.
Emperor Luo slammed down with a punch. The Dao Verification Emperor Fist emitted an endless platinum radiance. The dense fist radiance pierced through the space and shot into the raging rays of light.
Emperor Ming, Li Yuan, and Sun God all attacked at the same time. After all, the void martialists were members of their respective Sects.
Several waves of Sovereign Lord power burst out, as if the gods of the heavens were pressing down, suppressing the chaotic light of the Precepts.
However, it was impossible for Xuanyuan Gaoyan and Zhan Guang He, who were locked in battle, to stop. After colliding with each other, both of them were injured and spat out blood. In the blink of an eye, they were fighting again.
At this moment, the scene of the battle in the imperial city was replayed in the sky above the island. Emperors fought against Emperors, Human Sovereigns fought against Human Sovereigns, and Yuan Venerates fought against Yuan Venerates. Every figure fighting was incomparably tragic.
However, the weaker side was no longer the Zheng Clan and Night Net Palace. Instead, it was the Xuanyuan Clan that was completely crushed. They were no longer a match for the Xuanyuan Clan in terms of both numbers and quality. After all, only a few of them had successfully retreated into the divine hall and had been injured earlier.
Dazzling sword-light shot out. Lei Jiao, Hai Sha, and dozens of other Divine Palace disciples moved forward to stop the Autumn Empress. However, with a swing of her sword, everyone was forced back at the same time. More or less, sword wounds appeared on their bodies, and they felt as if their spirits were being pierced.
Even if everyone present was a top genius, they simply couldn't stop the Empress, who had yet to enter the Emperor Realm and was at the fourth level of the Emperor Realm.
At this moment, a beam of platinum sword qi pierced out from behind as Lei Jiao and the others retreated. Shou Wuque stood on the Sword Calamity Lotus with his hands behind his back as if his body had condensed into a sword.
Xiao Han was holding an imperial crown in her hand. As its radiance scattered on her face, she looked absolutely beautiful and her aura didn't lose out to the Autumn Empress in the slightest. The power of her bloodline roared as a terrifying wave of spiritual light enveloped the front, instantly pressing down on the Autumn Empress.
In that instant, the Autumn Empress' mind was thrown into chaos as her consciousness actually turned a little blurry. She could only feel that she was being suppressed by a female Emperor expert. As she struggled to break free of Xiao Han's spiritual restraints, a sword-shadow flew towards her. The sword-light was incomparably intense, resembling both a person and a sword. The sharpness of the sword intent seemed to be able to pierce through everything in the universe.
A sense of danger invaded her spirit. The Autumn Empress bit her finger and stroked the edge of the sword, offering it with her blood. Immediately, sword-light shot into the sky around her as millions of sword-lights condensed in her hand. Her sword soul fused with her weapon, greatly increasing her aura. When she released her grip, the sword in her hand flew out and collided with the sword-light condensed by Shou Wuque.
Clang!
A soft ring rang out in the void. The Thunder Flood Dragon and the others saw the two swords collide, flowing with the terrifying radiance of laws. Afterwards, the sword intent on Shou Wuque's body actually ignored the other party as it continued forward along the sword, piercing through the Autumn Empress.
Crash!
Only then did the Autumn Empress's weapon shatter.
"Worthy of being Makumonji's nephew. You'll definitely have a seat at the peak of the continent in the future."
The Autumn Empress' hair was a little messy as a trace of blood slowly flowed out from under her lips. There was a somewhat desolate beauty to her.
However, Shou Wuque spat out a mouthful of blood as the entire Sword Stealing Soullotus beneath his feet exploded and collapsed. His body trembled violently as he looked at the Autumn Empress, slowly lowering his head and cupping his fists in greeting, "Thank you for showing mercy, senior. I withdraw from this battle."
With that, Shou Wuque turned around and flew out of the island. He had lost this sword strike. Even though he joined forces with Xiao Han and took advantage of the fact that the Southern Ao Empress's Emperor's will was weakened, they were still no match for her.
The Southern Ao Empress was indeed a woman with great talent. If she hadn't shown mercy, Shou Wuque would have turned into a broken corpse.
He and Xiao Han had used all their strength in this sword strike.
However, the other party had stopped at the right time and pulled back in time.
The Southern Ao Empress was worthy of respect for a woman who could still be so open-minded when her family was in decline.
"If Wuying and Wuba were born a little later, they would have been able to meet someone who could help them improve."
The Autumn Empress watched Makumonji's nephew leave. Just now, she could have killed him directly, but she didn't. Perhaps, the Southern Domain needed such a junior in the future.
"Sparing his life won't change the Xuanyuan Family's fate in the slightest."
An old granny in black robes appeared in front of the Autumn Empress. Then, Granny Ying slowly raised her palm. A layer of terrifying Emperor's light bloomed from her body, suppressing the world and sealing off all of the Southern Ao Empress's escape routes. "But this old granny can guarantee that I will give you the most dignified death."
The Autumn Empress raised her head. Facing a super powerhouse comparable to the Black Dragon, she knew that she had no chance of winning. However, she didn't seem to hear it. She looked up at the sky, at Xuanyuan Gaoyan, at the figure fighting the Sect Slayer Elder.
At this moment, the Autumn Empress smiled. It was enough that she could accompany him to this point.
"Die."
A sharp light flashed in Granny Ying's old eyes. Her five fingers smashed down. Her peak Eighth Level Yuan Emperor cultivation erupted as she devoured the Black Dragon's Emperor's Core. At this moment, she was already infinitely closer to the Emperor Master level. Just the suppression of her Emperor's will alone was enough to shatter the Autumn Empress' divine soul.
A boundlessly huge palm pressed down. Majestic Emperor's light crushed everything, gradually drowning the Autumn Empress.
Death might be the best release for her.
At this moment, although Xuanyuan Gaoyan and Zhan Guang He hadn't been fighting for a long time, each clash was almost their full strength. After continuously releasing their Emperor's will, both their bodies and divine souls were exhausted.
Even so, their auras didn't show any signs of weakening. They were still going all out, only wanting to fight to their heart's content.
The saber-light and the war halberd collided. With each clash, Zhan Guang He was shaken to the point that his qi and blood were in turmoil. His purlicue had already ruptured. The Great Dao of Gravity suppressed his divine soul and physical body, shattering countless meridians and bones.
However, Xuanyuan Gaoyan's injuries were worse than his. Ye Ninghong's sneak attacks had damaged his internal organs. If not for the suppression of his Dao Validation power, his physical body would have long collapsed in battle.
At this moment, incomparably dazzling Emperor's light condensed on the war halberd. The void tumbled as cracks became more and more severe. Zhan Guang He knew that their battle was about to come to an end.
"Nine Heavens Ten Slashes."
Zhan Guang He grasped the heavens. Endless Great Dao power converged, forming a wave-like saber intent.
The tenth slash!
In the past, Zhan Lang had comprehended the ninth slash, which was the strongest.
Now, he had created the tenth slash on the basis of the Nine Heavens Consecutive Slashes.
Boom!
A terrifying saber intent erupted, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Looking over with the naked eye, the saber intent enveloped the void and the earth, forming layers of cracks as if they had been struck by the saber-light.
Then, the ten saber-lights of laws condensed into one. With a roar from Zhan Guang He, it slashed towards Xuanyuan Gaoyan's head.
Xuanyuan Gaoyan's long hair danced wildly. His bloodstained Emperor's body looked boundlessly majestic. Sensing the intensity of his opponent's saber intent, he praised inwardly. The Great Dao of Gravity on the war halberd overlapped, as if numerous Emperor mountains were flying over from afar. Countless illusory Emperor mountains condensed on his war halberd. The blood of Emperors roared as the ten slashes descended. Xuanyuan Gaoyan was about to fight to the death with Zhan Guang He.
However, at this moment, an extremely shocking power came from below. It could be said to be the limit below Dao Validation.
"Jinqiu."
When Xuanyuan Gaoyan looked over, he saw a majestic Emperor's palm crushing the heavens, gradually drowning Empress Jinqiu. He turned around, his war halberd swinging downwards as his figure swept across the sky like an afterimage.
"Pfft!"
The light from the halberd tore the giant palm cleanly apart.
"You're … back."
Scorching blood flowed from Empress Jinqiu's mouth. She tried her best to raise her hand, wanting to touch the man's face again, but she really couldn't.
Xuanyuan Gaoyan didn't say anything. His eyes reflected Empress Jinqiu's face. His expression was very calm, as if he'd given up on Zhan Guang He and walked through a complete life the moment he turned around.
"What a pity."
Zhan Guang He withdrew his saber intent into his body. The feeling of erupting his Dao to the limit but not being able to use it was truly unbearable.
However, he no longer had the chance to compete with Xuanyuan Gaoyan.
That was because Emperor Nanao was already dead!
"Granny, are you alright?"
Ye Ninghong asked anxiously.
"Cough cough … I'm fine. I wasn't the target of that halberd."
Granny Ying looked forward and saw a pitch-black dagger stabbed into Xuanyuan Gaoyan's back. The sharp light of laws of a Dao Validation Great Emperor pierced through his entire body, shattering his soul and piercing through Empress Jinqiu as well.
This attack was naturally Ye Ninghong's. It was a one-hit kill.
