Chapter 178: The Life-Slaughter Demon Lord (18) |
After Lin Changsheng carved open a path and charged into the ancient battlefield, the other Saints could no longer sit still. They exerted all their strength to open passages and rushed inside. The aura here was far too terrifying. Some of the weaker Saints were instantly annihilated by the destructive power.
"Sacred medicine… That is a legendary sacred medicine nourished by the blood of a Quasi-Emperor!"
Everyone saw a gorgeous flower blooming with magnificent colors, devouring the laws of heaven and earth while rooted upon a vast river of blood. It was a flawless sacred medicine, formed from the Great Dao and the blood of a Quasi-Emperor.
A flawless sacred medicine was enough to extend a Saint's lifespan or even allow them to live a second life. The moment it appeared, everyone's heartbeat slowed by half a beat. In an instant, several Saints moved to seize it.
In the outside world, these were legendary Saint realm powerhouses, yet here they fought until rivers of blood flowed for a single sacred medicine. However, some ancient figures remained unmoved and continued deeper into the battlefield. They knew that this place was not merely the ancient battlefield of a Quasi-Emperor. It was also the place where a Supreme—and a being who had reached the extreme sublimation of a Great Emperor—had fallen. There was far more here than just one sacred medicine.
"That is… an Emperor Weapon fragment!"
Powerful existences were shocked. A broken corner of a fragment, the size of a star, floated in the air. Though it had lost its luster, it still emitted an ancient and mighty aura that commanded the submission of all living beings across the myriad races.
"The artifact spirit of the Emperor Weapon has perished, yet it still possesses such terrifying power…"
Ancient existences murmured in awe and horror.
A single damaged Emperor Weapon fragment triggered a frenzied battle among Saint Kings, and some Saint Kings fell in the struggle.
Yet even more ancient powerhouses chose to press deeper. This ancient battlefield was simply too astonishing. Even Emperor Weapons had shattered here. The further they advanced, the more terrifying the feeling became…
A Quasi-Emperor was still an Emperor. Any being touched by the word "Emperor" was destined to walk that ultimate path and stand at the pinnacle of the universe.
Broken Emperor Weapon fragments were scattered everywhere. The crowd had already grown numb to the sight.
"It is said that in that battle back then, Nangong Chen, the master of Falling Emperor Mountain, and Li Shenhua, the legendary Myth Ancestor of the Heavenly Profound Domain, joined forces to fight an alternative Dao prover and a Supreme. They used three Emperor Weapons. Two of them had their artifact spirits self-destruct, and the Purple Firmament Sword of the Purple Firmament Dao Sect from the Azure Nether Dao Domain has been missing ever since…"
Just as an ancient Great Saint spoke with reverence about the legend, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from within the ancient battlefield!
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Everyone looked over and felt their scalps go numb!
"That is…"
A blood river surged forth, flooding large swathes of the ancient battlefield and submerging the broken Emperor Weapon fragments. An incomparably terrifying aura emanated from within, causing the eyes of many powerhouses to fill with terror. That aura far exceeded their imagination!
A powerhouse gritted his teeth, his legs trembling as he spoke shakily, "This is… Emperor might… Could it be that the Supreme from that battle back then is still alive and is about to return?"
If a Supreme were to emerge and stir up chaos, who besides the current Great Emperor could stop him?
Yet the current Great Emperor had already begun to decline and was no longer young. Moreover, he had not appeared for tens of thousands of years!
Bang!
The Saint who had successfully seized the sacred medicine looked overjoyed, but before his joy could last, a terrifying aura locked onto him. In almost an instant, he was erased completely, not even his Saint body remaining.
Two new figures appeared inside the ancient battlefield. A mysterious middle-aged man wearing a purple-black mask toyed with the sacred medicine in his hand while looking deeper into the battlefield.
Su Chen was inwardly surprised. This aura belonged to none other than the Blood Butcher Supreme from his previous life. However, it was far weaker than the original, only at the level of a near Quasi-Emperor.
"The Blood Butcher Supreme is dead, yet a new divine thought was born from his corpse and became a new artifact spirit!"
Su Chen and the Killing Ancestor took a single step and vanished from the spot, heading deeper into the ancient battlefield.
After the two left, the assembled Saints still felt lingering fear in their hearts.
"What a terrifying figure… Who exactly is that person? Why did he suddenly appear in the ancient battlefield?"
"I know… That is the Life-Slaughter Demon Lord, the strongest monster of the past ten thousand years, the one who obtained the Killing Emperor's inheritance. The one beside him should be the legendary Killing Ancestor, an ultimate powerhouse who has traversed the myriad races and lived through endless ages!"
"It's actually the Killing God Hall… It seems this time the ancient battlefield will not be peaceful!"
The appearance of Su Chen and the Killing Ancestor sent shockwaves in all directions.
Deeper within the ancient battlefield, a blood sea churned violently, hiding an incomparably terrifying figure that was undergoing transformation.
The Supreme who had died in the past had surprisingly revived once more. A flawless Emperor Sword was suppressed beneath him as he devoured its artifact spirit!
At this moment, another majestic figure stood in confrontation with that terrifying being.
"There is a familiar aura on you… one that disgusts me!"
The 'Blood Butcher Supreme' spoke coldly, radiating endless malice. Although his Emperor body no longer possessed the same terrifying might as before, it still carried the power to suppress the heavens!
Lin Changsheng's expression was grave. The overwhelming malice born from the Emperor corpse, once released into the world, would likely cause cosmic turmoil.
Lin Changsheng said, "In the past, my father personally slew your true body. Today, this evil thought of yours has encountered me. This is your destiny. You will perish completely here!"
Facing a former Supreme being, Lin Changsheng showed no fear. He intended to suppress this terrifying divine spirit!
The laws of his Longevity Supreme Body surged forth. With the Longevity Supreme Body at great completion, he possessed the strength to contend with a Quasi-Emperor head-on.
"Ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. A mere child dares to show disrespect to me! You are far inferior to that person from back then!"
The 'Blood Butcher Supreme' mocked, attempting to shake Lin Changsheng's will. Unfortunately, Lin Changsheng was determined to suppress him.
Lin Changsheng was no ordinary Great Saint, and the evil thought of the 'Blood Butcher Supreme' was no ordinary Quasi-Emperor. When these two peerless powerhouses clashed, heaven and earth crumbled.
"We absolutely cannot allow this evil entity to leave this place!"
Several old Great Saints from the myriad races felt heavy in their hearts. Although the Longevity Great Saint was powerful, he was still at a disadvantage against a former Supreme. Three old Great Saints who had emerged joined the fray without hesitation, attacking the 'Blood Butcher Supreme' together!
Only at this moment could they set aside their mutual grudges.
The sudden intervention caused the 'Blood Butcher Supreme' to roar furiously, "A bunch of ants dare to offend the dignity of a Supreme?!"
