Silence!
Everyone on the massive plaza had shock in their eyes as they watched this scene. Facing this situation, even those who stood at the pinnacle of the Greatlaw Continent like them couldn't help feeling shocked.
Wasn't that silhouette the Heavenly Emperor?
But why would he devour flesh and blood?
No matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem like something that the legendary Heavenly Emperor would do!
"Hahahaha."
Upon seeing the countless shocked gazes, Lu Heng involuntarily laughed out loud. His originally scholarly face was now a little more ferocious, causing one to feel fear at the sight of him.
"Lu Heng, what have you done?!"
Finally, an expert roared. From the looks of it, the Heavenly Emperor was devouring flesh because of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng revealed a weird smile. "What am I doing?
I'm trying to help you guys revive the Heavenly Emperor. "
"Revive the Heavenly Emperor?" Everyone was startled. Could it be that the Heavenly Emperor was still alive?
"He's not the Heavenly Emperor!"
While everyone was bewildered, a cold bark resounded and Mandala took a step forth, staring at the Heavenly Emperor with her pitch-black eyes.
Perhaps others might not be able to sense it, but she could sense that although that figure was identical to the Heavenly Emperor, it was definitely not the Heavenly Emperor's original body!
"Oh?
If he's not the Heavenly Emperor, then what is he? "Lu Heng said with a playful smile.
Datura's face was a little dark as she looked at Lu Heng and said word by word, "Lu Heng, so you're already under the control of the Fiend Clan's Monarch."
"Monarch?!"
It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. All the experts present had a change in their expressions as they stared at Lu Heng in shock. The rumored Fiend Monarch who invaded the Greatlaw Continent didn't die?
Lu Heng was briefly stunned before he gently clapped his hands and smiled. "I never expected that you could guess it."
Facing a crime that could make him the enemy of the Great Thousand World, he actually admitted it so easily.
"Lu Heng, you're simply courting death!"
You're simply courting death! "A Greater Earth Sovereign roared with a grim expression.
"Lu Heng, once this news gets out, both you and the Sacred Devil Palace will be reduced to dust!"
Lu Heng smiled.
"Then you have to be able to spread the news first."
Everyone's eyes sank as all sorts of communication items appeared in their hands and they crushed them. Those items could travel through space.
They immediately sent the news back to their respective forces.
However, when the token was crushed, their faces couldn't help changing. They could sense that the information had strangely disappeared the instant it was crushed. It felt as if it couldn't penetrate through space.
They raised their heads and were shocked to see that in the sky above the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery.
No one knew when, but a layer of black membrane had appeared. This membrane covered the entire space like a barrier, completely sealing off this space.
Although the membrane looked thin, it emanated an aura that not even Greater Earth Sovereigns could shake. It was extremely evil and was constantly devouring the Spiritual Energy in the Heavenly Emperor Cemetery.
Facing this situation, even those that had stepped into the Earth Sovereign Realm started to go into an uproar.
"Let's make a move together.
Kill that bastard! "
But those powerhouses weren't ordinary people, so they immediately hollered when they saw that the situation wasn't right. In the next instant …
A total of eight silhouettes flew towards Lu Heng.
They could tell that this matter was caused by Lu Heng, and as long as they killed Lu Heng, they would be able to get out of this situation.
Facing seven Lesser Earth Sovereigns …
If a Greater Earth Sovereign made a move, even Lu Heng would be heavily injured by the thunderbolt.
However, everyone had never expected that Lu Heng's expression did not change when facing such a powerful encirclement. On the contrary, the smile on the corner of his lips turned into ridicule.
"Watch out!"
Mandala seemed to have sensed something at this moment and abruptly reminded him.
But when her voice landed, the eight silhouettes had already approached Lu Heng's location. It was also at this moment that the Heavenly Emperor, who had devoured the three Lesser Earth Sovereigns, slightly opened his eyes.
He seemed to have moved his finger, and an extremely evil black light flashed, as if it had fused with the void.
Buzz!
Buzz! At the same time, space was torn apart and a black mist gushed out, forming into eight sinister mouths. Those mouths were like the mouths of demons, filled with demonic fangs. When they bit down, they had disregarded the distance and bit towards the eight silhouettes.
Due to the speed of the demonic mouths, it looked as if the eight silhouettes had thrown themselves into them.
Crack!
When the demonic mouths bit down, a crisp sound rang out and flesh splattered. The few Lesser Earth Sovereigns couldn't even react in time before they were reduced to a pile of flesh. Even their Spirits were completely destroyed.
Only the Greater Earth Sovereign reacted the fastest. At this moment of life and death, one of his arms suddenly exploded and turned into a torrent of flesh that flowed into the demonic mouths. His body had turned into a crimson streak of light as he flew out.
Creak! Creak!
In just a few breaths' time, the seven Lesser Earth Sovereigns were instantly killed. The demonic mouths quietly hid themselves and appeared behind the 'Heavenly Emperor'. They opened their mouths and flesh poured down, devoured by the Heavenly Emperor.
As the flesh was devoured, the Heavenly Emperor's body gradually turned soft and a trace of vitality started to appear on his body.
Evidently, he was gradually recovering!
"Everyone, why are you guys still wasting your efforts?
Today, all of you will become food. This outcome has already been determined the moment you stepped into this place. "Lu Heng smiled as he looked at the shocked faces of the crowd.
Mandala's face had also turned grave at this moment. She looked at the silhouette of the 'Heavenly Emperor' and slowly said, "He should be the Monarch, right?"
Lu Heng nodded his head with a smile.
"I have to thank those fellows from before for bringing my master out of the Heavenly Emperor Sword's range. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come in contact with you. After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sword can sense the demonic aura in my body." Lu Heng raised his hand.
Wisps of viscous black mist appeared in his palm. The black mist gave off an evil feeling, and sharp whistling sounds could be heard from it.
It made the blood of others boil.
"So you've been corroded by the demonic aura."
Mandala nodded her head and indifferently said, "It's no wonder why you would launch a sneak attack on me back then. You must have been corroded back then."
Lu Heng smiled with his eyes narrowed. "It can't be considered as being corroded, because I did it willingly.
My master's strength far exceeds your imagination. Even the Heavenly Emperor made a mistake back then. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sacrificed everything to seal my master. "
"But if this continues, I'm afraid that my Master will be killed for real. That's why the Ancient Haven Palace has been opened."
Everyone's eyes narrowed. The opening of the Ancient Haven Palace was actually because of Lu Heng's manipulation?
It was all because of him.
Was he trying to lure them in and turn them into food for the Monarch to break free from the seal and revive?
Mandala sneered, "You put it nicely. I'm afraid that the reason why you've been corroded by the demonic aura is because your willpower isn't strong enough and the Monarch has found a flaw in your heart. I'm afraid that everything that you've done is no longer your own will.
Instead, you're being controlled like a puppet. "
The corner of Lu Heng's lips twitched and the smile on his face disappeared as he viciously stared at Mandala.
Strands of demonic aura enveloped his eyeballs.
But in the end, he did not make a move. He eerily smiled. "I'll let you talk for now. When my master revives, I will make you wish you were dead!"
"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to wait till then!"
Mandala sneered.
She then turned to look at Mu Chen and her lips moved before a voice was transmitted into Mu Chen's ears, "I'll obstruct him. You go and seize the Heavenly Emperor Sword. Only the Heavenly Emperor Sword can stop the Monarch from reviving!"
Mu Chen was briefly stunned before he nodded his head with his teeth clenched.
Whoosh!
Mandala's silhouette practically flew out at the same time with a black lustre flickering towards the Heavenly Emperor.
"Stubborn resistance." Lu Heng ridiculed.
Buzz!
Space trembled once again and a demonic mouth swiftly tore through space, wanting to devour Mandala. Although it looked simple, it was extremely ferocious, since the Earth Sovereigns that had fallen here were a lesson to be learned from the mistakes of those Earth Sovereigns.
However, Mandala, who had stepped into the Perfected Earth Sovereign Realm, was much stronger than those Lesser Earth Sovereigns. Thus, she did not panic. She pushed her hand forth and an endless dark lustre gushed out from her palm, forming into a massive rune that enveloped the demonic mouth, preventing it from devouring her.
"Mu Chen!"
It was also at this moment that Mandala roared.
Rustle!
Mu Chen, who was already prepared, turned into a streak of light and flew out. His target wasn't the Heavenly Emperor or Lu Heng, but the Heavenly Emperor Sword that was stabbed into the ground!
Pushing his speed to the limits, he instantly appeared before the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
Looking at this scene, Lu Heng mocked, "Mandala, you've followed the Heavenly Emperor for longer than me. Don't you know that only the Heavenly Emperor can pull out the Heavenly Emperor Sword?"
When Mu Chen heard those words, he was briefly stunned. However, he clenched his teeth and turned towards the sword. At this moment, even if he couldn't pull it out, he could only give it a try.
Looking at Mu Chen, Mandala turned her head and revealed a weird smile towards Lu Heng. "It's precisely because I've followed the Heavenly Emperor longer than you that I know what's required to pull out the Heavenly Emperor Sword."
Lu Heng's eyes narrowed as he abruptly turned his head to look at Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen tightly held onto the Heavenly Emperor Sword and unleashed a roar. Instantly, an endless golden lustre swept out from his back and formed into a purplish-golden silhouette that emanated an immortal aura.
When the purplish-golden silhouette appeared, Mu Chen exerted strength in his arms.
Clang!
At this moment, an ancient sword cry suddenly resounded in the sky. The sword light wreaked havoc, and a single sword froze the nine provinces.
