Grasping the Evil-Chapter 782: Sixteen Emperors of Eastern Heaven
"You cannot escape!"
With a cold snort, Senluo pressed his finger even faster. The enormous black sun shadow behind him shattered into countless pieces of black flame, which then transformed into an endless number of black flame crows.
The crows gathered together, emitting an ominous cry as they formed a giant black flame finger, larger than even a Lower-Level Star Domain, filled with sinister aura, pressing towards Jiuyou Emperor.
That finger was entwined with black flames, which were not true flames but an ultimate manifestation of dark power.
The dark aura from the giant finger quickly enveloped the surrounding dozens of Cultivation Stars, causing the beings on those stars to turn into black blood plasma and dissolve.
Eventually, even the Cultivation Stars themselves collapsed one by one.
In the distance, thousands of Cultivation Stars were affected by the evil aura, the Spiritual Energy became corrupt, and the cultivation of the masters on those stars began to fall! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
At this moment, countless cultivators in the Jiuyou Star Domain revealed expressions of immense fear, sensing that a peerless powerhouse was rampantly unleashing destructive Divine Skills within the Jiuyou Star Domain!
All the ice within the Jiuyou Star Domain melted into black water at that moment.
Vast amounts of black energy emanated from the giant finger, swirling towards Jiuyou Emperor.
Jiuyou Emperor was greatly alarmed. He knew the terrifyingly insidious nature of the Hei Yao Finger, which could damage one’s Taoist cultivation and ruin one’s destiny. It was something he couldn’t contend with. If struck by this finger, his cultivation would undoubtedly suffer greatly. It’s best to avoid it.
Quickly raising his hand, he tore open a silver ice door in front of him and stepped into it, disappearing from sight.
However, the gigantic finger light also trembled, shattering countless void rifts, disappearing into the rifts without a trace.
Moments later, the entire starry sky of the Jiuyou Star Domain began to tremble violently!
Subsequently, countless void rifts exploded within the starry sky, further extending numerous icy chasms wildly.
Finally, with a loud boom somewhere in the starry sky, a silver ice door appeared out of nowhere.
The moment the silver ice door appeared, it immediately shattered into countless ice fragments. From within emerged an old man in tattered purple robes, his face veiled in black aura, falling out, looking exceedingly decrepit. Not only had his cultivation suffered greatly, nearly falling from his emperor status, but even one of his arms was bizarrely severed at the bend, with black blood flowing profusely from the wound.
"The Jiuyou Great Emperor of the Eternal Sixth Calamity was severely injured by the Senluo Immortal King with one finger!" Ning Fan witnessed everything before him from the Ninth Star, utterly shocked!
The might of Senluo surpassed even Ning Fan’s expectations! The Sixth Calamity Immortal Emperor Jiuyou Great Emperor was no match for Senluo!
Jiuyou Emperor coughed with a grey face, looking at Senluo, with deep fear in his eyes, but beneath that fear, there was also some viciousness.
Their enmity with Senluo was too deep; it seemed unlikely to end peacefully, a battle was inevitable.
Resolute, he pressed his intact left hand on the storage pouch, taking out a massive dragon bone of silvery snow color, and offered it up in the air.
It was a demon dragon’s bone, fallen countless years ago, judging by the aura from this bone, this dragon in its lifetime had at least possessed cultivation of the Eternal Sixth Calamity.
With fierce determination in his eyes, Jiuyou Emperor intended to use this dragon bone to summon the residual soul of this demon dragon, hoping to unite with it to fight against Senluo!
Changing his spirit sense, the dragon bone began to move with a cracking sound, emitting a frosty dragon breath, and suddenly, two clusters of silver flame appeared in its hollow eye sockets, glaring viciously at Senluo, issuing a dragon roar that shook the Star Domain.
As the dragon roar manifested, countless rainbow-colored sea of lightning appeared in the starry sky, with countless rainbow lightning snaking like serpents, roaring with thunder, striking towards Senluo.
"A bone of Flowing Dragon... In her lifetime, misty rain praised Flowing Dragon for its purity and beauty. Flowing Dragon, the most beautiful dragon among the Dragon Race, but after death, it’s nothing more than a hideous skeleton..."
Senluo’s usually cold eyes once again showed a hint of reminiscence, then curled up into a disdainful smile as he looked at the vast sea of lightning, neither escaping nor dodging.
Raising his hand, a small axe appeared in his hand, transparent as if carved from blood-colored crystal.
The small axe was engraved with a short poem, the handwriting was bold and wild, undoubtedly Senluo’s, but the verses were delicately exquisite, absolutely not something Senluo could have written.
"The first flower blooms well, not letting ten thousand leaves resent wither.
The second moon is full, not letting Xiao Lang miss the beauty.
At its best, to be with family happily, let this night last eternally."
This was a poem casually recited by a woman, engraved on Senluo’s axe, and also engraved in Senluo’s heart.
But the Lang she waited for was never him.
And the eternal peace she desired, he couldn’t give.
All he could do was make those who had wronged her pay the price!
The blood axe in his hand suddenly grew gigantic, becoming as tall as a person, firmly gripped by Senluo.
This blood axe was his Dao Weapon, named Chang’an!
At this moment, all the reminiscence in Senluo’s eyes turned into anger and madness, roaring at the sky!
Chang’an... Chang’an!
"For not greening your ten thousand leaves, I shall let it wither for a lifetime. From now on, Eastern Heaven shall never enjoy full bloom!
For not illuminating your bright moon, I shall let it eternally remain incomplete night. From now on, Eastern Heaven shall never have a full moon!
I shall turn the Godly Void Pavilion into a river of blood, make the Heavenly Prison never find peace, and let Eastern Heaven, henceforth, have no eternal peace!"
With a roar!
Facing the sea of lightning, Senluo swung his axe, the axe light flashed and vanished, and endless blood flames spread along the axe light like a roaming dragon, devouring the rainbow sea of lightning one by one.
With the first swing, Senluo destroyed the vast sea of lightning, then raised his hand again, swinging his axe towards the Flowing Dragon’s remnant bone without any hesitation.
The second swing split the void starry sky into two parts with blood-colored axe light, large swathes of the starry sky collapsing.
The Flowing Dragon’s remnant bone was struck by the axe light, immediately letting out a sky-shaking shriek, shattering into countless bone powders and vanishing in the blood light.
Jiuyou Emperor was greatly shocked, never imagining that Senluo would bring out the Chang’an Axe against him!
He had known Senluo for countless years, had understood many of Senluo’s Divine Skills!
Chang’an Axe, Chang’an Axe!
Jiuyou Emperor understood Senluo, knowing that if Senluo took out this axe, it meant a deep-seated intent to kill.
The Chang’an Axe was a ferociously evil Dao Weapon, each attack required consuming Senluo’s vital blood to fully unleash its power.
And once drawn out, it cannot be retracted until every enemy before it is slain, utterly soaking it in their blood!
"Back then, I merely ambushed him with a finger, yet he deems it necessary to kill me?!" Jiuyou Emperor was greatly shocked.
Seeing Senluo lift the axe once more, swinging it towards him for the third strike, Jiuyou Emperor gritted his teeth, his body flickered, transforming into millions of silver lights, scattering in millions of directions to flee.
These millions of lights were his unique escape secret technique, each containing only his true self.
At this moment, Jiuyou Emperor had been heavily wounded by the Hei Yao Finger, his Dao diminished, originally wasn’t a match for Senluo, and now even less so, especially seeing Senluo bringing out the axe with the intent to kill, naturally he dared not confront directly.
Senluo looked at Jiuyou Emperor’s cunning escape with a continuous sneer.
Letting the millions of lights escape without blocking or hindering them, his axe light slanted, rather striking at an empty place with no one there.
With the strike, that part of the galaxy collapsed in large segments, from the rift fell a figure in extreme distress, unexpectedly Jiuyou Emperor himself.
Jiuyou Emperor had not hidden within the escape lights, but had craftily hidden there, planning to watch the situation, looking for an opportunity to ambush Senluo.
The millions of lights were merely a diversionary tactic.
However, his scheme was unfortunately seen through by Senluo, and a single axe strike exposed his position, immediately coughing blood, retreating continuously within the starry sky.
Struggling to stabilize himself, his entire body was covered in wounds left by the blood axe’s aura, with no spot of unscathed flesh remaining.
"Senluo! We’ve known each other for many years. Back then, I was just momentarily possessed by a devil and attacked you. Must we really fight to the death?" Jiuyou Emperor roared.
"Luo Jiu, you injured me once, and considering our past relationship, I’ll return the gesture and leave it at that. But you shouldn’t have, you really shouldn’t have, drunk that bowl of Spirit Soul Liquor! You betrayed me, so I’ll sever all ties with you. You harmed Qian Yu, so I’ll obliterate you! Heaven Sealing Technique!"
Senluo’s extreme anger turned to laughter as he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Jiuyou Emperor. Instantly, countless black lines of the void fixed Jiuyou Emperor in the starry sky!
Ning Fan’s gaze showed slight shock; he never expected that Senluo could even use the Heaven Sealing Art. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the technique Senluo used was only an imitated pseudo-divine skill, not the true Heaven Sealing Art, which reduced his surprise slightly.
Jiuyou Emperor was fixed in the starry sky by Senluo’s point, unable to escape or avoid, unable to move or resist, and his heart was greatly alarmed.
"Impossible! The technique you used clearly isn’t the true Heaven Sealing Art, so why can it restrain me?"
"Hmph! Even if it’s not the orthodox technique, so what!"
Shh! Shh! Shh!
Senluo let out a cold snort, holding Jiuyou Emperor in place with one finger while wielding his axe with the other, striking Jiuyou Emperor relentlessly.
One axe, two axes, three axes...
Ten axes, a hundred axes, a thousand axes!
Axe auras that shook the starry rivers struck Jiuyou Emperor’s body, continuously unleashing waves of destruction.
Jiuyou Emperor’s injuries grew increasingly severe, his physical body gradually collapsing until only his indestructible golden primordial spirit remained.
The reason the primordial spirit was golden was that it was protected by Emperor Qi.
Though the axe aura was powerful, constantly inflicting severe damage and weakening Jiuyou Emperor’s primordial spirit power, it was ultimately unable to completely obliterate this golden primordial spirit.
Witnessing this scene, Ning Fan was deeply shocked.
He had read in an ancient book that an Immortal Emperor carries the Emperor’s shadow and can rely on Emperor Qi to guard the primordial spirit, enduring eons without being easily destroyed.
Although Jiuyou Emperor couldn’t defeat Senluo, Senluo also couldn’t annihilate Jiuyou Emperor.
Let alone Senluo, even the Shenhao Twin Emperors of the Eighth Calamity of the Eternals couldn’t easily destroy the Immortal Emperor’s Divine Spirit.
"Senluo! Despite your strength, you can’t kill me. I advise you to release me quickly, or else..." Jiuyou Emperor’s golden primordial spirit sneered coldly, intending to threaten, but his expression changed abruptly in the next moment.
"Luo Jiu, do you really think I can’t kill you?"
Senluo’s lips curled with a mocking smile. He suddenly retracted his axe, absorbing the blood axe back into his body, and then raised his large hand, five fingers clawing toward Jiuyou Emperor from afar.
This claw, utilizing the void power that made Senluo famous, also employed the power of time he seized from the Flowing Sand Ancestor.
As the power of time intersected with the void power, time and space seemed frozen in that moment!
The path of life and death, the path of true void, the path of time and space!
After which came reincarnation!
Senluo had journeyed, comprehending life and death in the first step of cultivation, understanding true void and then space power in the second step, and seizing time power.
At this moment, his hand was shockingly entwined with a genuine and true power of reincarnation!
Unlike the preliminary power of reincarnation Ning Fan acquired, this power of reincarnation was immense and terrifying, capable of erasing Jiuyou Emperor’s primordial spirit!
For this reason, Jiuyou Emperor truly began to fear!
"Re... reincarnation power! This is the legendary power that only a Saint in the third step of cultivation can possess. How can you manifest it! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Jiuyou Emperor screamed in a mixture of terror and disbelief.
"You don’t need to know! Extinguish!"
With a fierce clench of Senluo’s fist, the five reincarnation finger glows instantly transformed into claw shadows, tearing through the starry sky and easily shredding Jiuyou Emperor’s primordial spirit.
On this day, in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, a Great Emperor renowned across the starry rivers fell to Senluo’s hand!
But Jiuyou Emperor wasn’t the only Great Emperor to fall in this chaos of the Eastern Heaven!
After exterminating Jiuyou Emperor, Senluo stood for a long time in the Jiuyou Star Domain but did not begin a massacre in this star domain.
Raising his hand, he seized the golden primordial spirit fragments of Jiuyou Emperor, examined them carefully, and shook his head.
"The Divine Blast Technique is marvelous, but it can’t use a primordial spirit above the Immortal Emperor as the medium for the technique. Its power, though formidable, ultimately has its limits."
"Luo Jiu, although you wronged me and harmed Qian Yu, your brother sacrificed his life to save me. I will ensure our grudges are settled by only taking your life, sparing your kin!"
After speaking, Senluo swallowed those primordial spirit fragments in one gulp, then turned abruptly and sped away in another direction.
Crashing through entirely, absolutely crashing through.
Not knowing how long he traveled through the starry sky, Senluo stopped at another star domain of the Celestial Emperor.
Celestial Emperor Star Domain, Zhenyuan Star Domain!
Outside of this star domain of the Celestial Emperor, a formation array had long been set up, guarded by countless powerful beings.
In the center of those countless powerhouses, surrounded like the stars around the moon, stood a White-Browed Taoist Youth, dressed in Taoist robes, exuding an astonishing aura, shockingly another Immortal Emperor of the Sixth Calamity of the Eternals!
"I heard you slew Jiuyou Emperor, is this true?" The White-Browed Taoist Youth coldly snorted, angrily questioning Senluo.
Clearly, he had received all kinds of intelligence about Senluo but still found it hard to believe.
Senluo sneered without directly answering, merely raising one hand and wiping in the void, layers of cold chill immediately surfaced in the void, and in the chill, an extremely icy silver sword floated in front of Senluo.
This sword was not a magical treasure or Dao Weapon, but was formed from divine skill!
This art was one of Jiuyou Emperor’s trump card divine skills... Frozen Nether Sword!
Regrettably, in front of Senluo, Jiuyou Emperor had no time to use this technique before he died with resentment.
Ning Fan, observing this sword from the Ninth Star, grew increasingly solemn, only feeling that this sword was extremely chilling. A single strike could freeze an entire Mid-Level Star Domain, yet he didn’t know this technique was Jiuyou Emperor’s divine skill.
The White-Browed Taoist Youth, however, was aware of this skill, and upon seeing Senluo actually employ Jiuyou Emperor’s divine skill, displayed an extremely shocked expression!
"You... you really killed Jiuyou Emperor and used the ’Void Stripping Path’ divine skill to devour his primordial spirit and seize his secret technique! Impossible! You’re merely an Immortal King, how could you destroy an Immortal Emperor’s primordial spirit!"
Shh!
The response to the White-Browed Taoist Youth was strands of icy sword light.
Yet Senluo, without a word, directly grasped the Frozen Nether Sword, the sword pointing towards the Zhenyuan Star Domain.
In an instant, the Zhenyuan Star Domain began to freeze over in large swathes, and countless masters guarding the star domain’s exterior were directly frozen to death!
In the Jiuyou Star Domain, Senluo had shown some leniency out of respect for Jiuyou Emperor’s brother toward the cultivators of Jiuyou Star Domain.
But here, he had no need to show any mercy to anyone!
"Hand over the twelve Heaven-Shattering Arrows, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, die!"
Senluo coldly regarded the White-Browed Taoist Youth, who was known as Zhenyuan Great Emperor, stationed in the Zhenyuan Star Domain, one of the Sixteen Emperors of Eastern Heaven!
