Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 841 - 840: The Terror of the Nine Nether Lamp

Before the Emperor of Creation's words were finished, the shadow of his spear, like a meteor crashing down from the starry sky, struck his back in an instant.

Boom!

"Pfft..."

The Emperor of Creation was instantly blown away. Even though his Great Brightness Body had reached Perfection, he still spat out blood in midair, and his entire body showed signs of cracking.

"Why?! Emperor of Destruction, why?!"

The Emperor of Creation's face was twisted in fury as he roared madly. Although his body was injured, with the Emperor of Creation's strength, he could recover almost instantaneously by operating the Life and Death Origin.

Moreover, the physical wounds could not ease the ache in his heart.

For how many years had the Emperor of Destruction and he been the two pillars of the Celestial Martial Continent, fighting side by side? Now, it was as if the heavens were playing a joke; the Emperor of Destruction had actually betrayed the Human Race?

A hint of gloom flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Destruction, his face somber. He remained silent, then coldly spoke to the Demon Emperor.

"Demon Emperor, I've done what you asked. Can you hand over the spirit body of the Profound Rain King to me now?"

The Emperor of Destruction's eyes burned, and upon hearing this, the heart of the Emperor of Creation trembled. He finally understood why the Emperor of Destruction had betrayed the Human Race. Having fought alongside the Emperor of Destruction for so many years, he naturally knew the status of the Profound Rain King in the Emperor of Destruction's heart.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that if the Emperor of Destruction could exchange his own life for that of the Profound Rain King, he would do so without hesitation.

"Heh heh heh, splendid, splendid! Emperor of Destruction, you're truly ruthless! For the sake of a dead person, you actually turned against your own brother. Now, the spirit body of the Profound Rain King is here. If you have the ability, come and take it!"

The Demon Emperor laughed, his body immense and pitch black as ink. He slowly opened his right claw, and a pale green sphere of light emerged from it, hovering silently in midair.

Within the pale green light sphere, a cyan figure lay curled up, silent and cold. If one looked closely, this cyan figure was a breathtakingly beautiful woman. Yet, her pale face was occasionally marred by a flash of painful grimace.

"Yu'Er... I've come to take you... home..."

The Emperor of Destruction approached the Demon Emperor step by step, his eyes fixed on the pale green light sphere in the Demon Emperor's hand. His body trembled uncontrollably, and tears blurred his vision.

The distance between the Emperor of Destruction and the Demon Emperor grew smaller.

A hundred meters... fifty meters... ten meters...

"Heh heh heh, dreaming if you want the spirit body of the Profound Rain King!"

Just as the Emperor of Destruction closed in to within ten meters of the Demon Emperor, the latter burst into a sinister laugh. His eyes were filled with endless malice, and his left claw suddenly struck the Void, sending out icy, sharp claws that tore through the space.

Rip!

Whoosh!

On the other side of the Void was an infinite blackness, filled with endless magma and the aura of slaughter.

This was Purgatory!

This was the Abyss!

With a wave of his right claw, the Demon Emperor sent the spirit body of the Profound Rain King plummeting into the other side of the Void. Seeing this, a sudden rage erupted in the Emperor of Destruction's eyes.

Boom!

"Get out of my way!!!"

Rumble!

The Emperor of Destruction launched his right hand with the Silver Spear, which shot forth like an Ancient Divine Mountain tearing through the Void, in an instant appearing before the Demon Emperor.

"Petty tricks!"

The Demon Emperor laughed coldly, seeing the greater the pain of the Emperor of Destruction, the happier his heart became.

Boom!

A black tail light curved through the air, ripping the Void, crashing toward the Emperor of Destruction. This tail attack was as powerful as his full-strength strike.

Rumble!

In an instant, the Silver Spear in the Emperor of Destruction's hand was knocked away. Seeing the rapidly healing Void rift not far away, a flash of determination crossed the Emperor of Destruction's eyes.

"Yu'Er, wait for me!"

Whoosh!

Boom! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The Emperor of Destruction swung his right hand, the white sleeve shooting out, but more importantly, the Silver Spear in his hand flew off, like a missile, furiously towards the Demon Emperor. Meanwhile, he himself turned into an illusion, flying towards the other side of the Void rift.

"He's gone mad! Completely insane!! To actually enter that place of his own accord!!"

Understanding the Emperor of Destruction's intentions, a trace of horror flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, but he did not stop. He lifted his right claw lightly, sending the masterless Silver Spear flying away.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the figure of the Emperor of Destruction merged into that darkness, and the Void closed up, as if nothing had happened.

"Demon Emperor, what is the place on the other side of the Void?"

Watching helplessly as the Emperor of Destruction disappeared, the Emperor of Creation asked coldly. In the moment that rift appeared, he distinctly felt several terrifying presences attempting to probe the Celestial Martial Continent, fortunately blocked by the continent's will.

Under those presences, he felt like a mere minion, as if his life and death could be decided by a single thought of theirs.

"Heh heh heh, you want to know what that place is?"

An eerie smile flashed on the Demon Emperor's face, then he spoke sinisterly again.

"That place is the Abyss, that place is Purgatory, that place is where the dead are meant to go. For the living, going there, heh heh heh, means only one road: to death!"

The Demon Emperor's voice turned into Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

"I've played enough. It's time to send you on your way!"

The Demon Emperor took out an object from his chest. It was a bronze lamp, with a faint blue, weak flame at its wick, ghostly, serene, ancient.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, as the Demon Emperor took out the Nine Nether Lamp, the Emperor of Creation's face changed. He could clearly feel this ancient bronze lamp had incredible power, instantly freezing and sealing the Void around him.

Rumble!

"Nine Nether Soul-Extinction!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"What is this devilish thing?!"

A flash of terror appeared in the Emperor of Creation's eyes. In the hands of the Demon Emperor, the Nine Nether Lamp gradually expanded, in the blink of an eye reaching a diameter of a hundred meters. Its mighty, boundless divine power centered around the Nine Nether Lamp, pressing toward the Emperor of Creation.

Rumble!

In mid-air, the enormous Nine Nether Lamp split into nine, both real and illusory, indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine shadows of the Nine Nether Lamp pressed towards the Emperor of Creation together, their terrifying divine power like nine Nine Heavens Divine Mountains. The destructive force of this move instantly increased his Attack Power tenfold.

Boom!

The Emperor of Creation's expression was grave, understanding he couldn't delay any longer. If he waited for the nine shadows to completely crash down, even his perfected Great Brightness Body would be severely injured in an instant.

The Emperor of Creation stepped forward with his right foot, his eyes shining with golden light like divine eyes. His right fist clenched, and as he stretched, the whooshing sound echoed, as if a blazing, majestic sun met the nine descending shadows in the sky.

Rumble!

The sound waves surged, tearing through the Void. At the moment the golden fist shadow collided with one of the nine shadows, it was completely torn apart. The nine lamp shadows continued unabated, directly crashing into the Emperor of Creation.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Pfft!

In front of the nine lamp shadows, the figure of the Emperor of Creation was as small as an ant.
