Chapter 1624 Evil Power
"It seems you once held a respectable position in the Upper Realm, but alas, you chose to associate with lowly people!" The Black Fiend Venerable slowly straightened his body, his murderous aura growing even stronger. "Very well, then... I'll annihilate you completely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, and his murderous aura gathered wildly around him, transforming into a huge black battle axe. The axe was covered with annihilation runes and exuded an aura of destruction.
"Annihilation? Heaven-Shattering Slash!"
With a roar, the Black Fiend Venerable unleashed his battle axe, which, imbued with earth-shattering power, slashed fiercely down at the Evil Emperor.
The void was annihilated inch by inch under the axe blade, even the light was cut off, leaving only a pitch-black trajectory that was heading straight for the Evil Emperor's face.
The Evil Emperor's expression was solemn, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest!
He rapidly formed hand seals, and runes around his body condensed, transforming into a massive black shield. Ancient imperial patterns were carved on the shield's surface, radiating supreme majesty!
"clang!"
The battle axe struck the shield with a deafening roar. A terrifying force spread outwards, instantly shattering several nearby stars into countless specks of stardust.
The imperial runes on the shield flickered wildly, yet countless cracks still appeared!
The Evil Emperor grunted and was sent flying backward again, blood gushing from his mouth. His Dao energy was greatly depleted, and he was at his last gasp.
Black Fiend Venerable pressed his advantage, wielding his battle axe and moving like lightning as he slashed at the Evil Emperor once more.
Just then, a dark golden sword light suddenly pierced the sky, carrying a sword intent that looked down upon all heavens, and accurately struck the black battle axe.
"Ding!"
After the crisp sound, the runes of annihilation on the battle axe dimmed slightly. The Black Fiend Venerable felt a terrifying sword intent coming from the battle axe, which made his arm go numb and his tiger's mouth ache slightly.
He suddenly looked up at the direction from which the sword light was coming. He saw Song Yu holding the Divine Sword, hovering in the starry sky, his body surging with Dao power, the six great chaotic forces intertwined and entwined. Although his face was still pale, his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
"You've actually recovered?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Black Fiend Venerable.
Song Yu slowly raised his hand, the Divine Sword pointing directly at the Black Fiend Venerable, his voice cold and majestic: "Your opponent is me!"
Seeing this from afar, the Rose Venerable's pretty face darkened: "Overestimating yourself!"
With a wave of her hand, the devouring power of the Annihilation Demon Cauldron suddenly shifted, sweeping towards Song Yu, intending to devour him directly.
Song Yu was prepared. He protected himself with the six great chaotic energies and wielded the Divine Sword, its light forming a net that blocked the devouring force.
He looked up at the Rose Venerable, a cold smile playing on his lips: "A mere trick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed like a dark golden lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Venerable Rose.
He knew very well that the Nirvana Demon Cauldron was a major threat, and to break the deadlock, he had to kill the Rose Venerable first!
Above the starry sky, dark golden sword light shone, black baleful energy surged, and the golden array trembled precariously!
"It seems... I can no longer hide my abilities!"
The Evil Emperor sighed deeply, a hint of helplessness appearing in his eyes.
He didn't want to expose himself completely, but now it seems the situation forces him to have no choice but to go all out!
The aura around the Evil Emperor suddenly surged by tens of thousands of feet. The originally restrained pressure was like an ancient ferocious beast that had been sleeping, and it tore apart the surrounding spatial barrier in an instant!
Before those shattered fragments of the void could dissipate, they were crushed into nothingness by an even more terrifying force, leaving not even a ripple behind.
His hair moved without wind, his black imperial robes fluttered, and golden imperial patterns faintly appeared on the edges of his robes, each pattern seemingly containing the laws of birth and death of a universe.
At this moment, the Evil Emperor showed no trace of his previous exhaustion. His aura was rising steadily, even faintly surpassing the limit of the peak of the Dao Realm, and he was frantically charging towards a level that inspired awe!
"What...what kind of aura is this?"
The Annihilation Battle Axe in the Black Fiend Venerable's hand trembled violently, the runes on its blade flashing wildly, yet dimming continuously as if it had encountered its natural enemy. For the first time, terror appeared in the eyes beneath his blood-red mask. "Impossible! The Dao... the Dao Immortal Lord!! How is this possible? You, who exactly are you?"
The Evil Emperor did not answer; he simply raised his right hand slowly, his five fingers loosely clenched.
In an instant, the chaotic energy of the entire starry sky frantically converged towards his palm. The scattered stardust, broken meteorites, and even the baleful aura surrounding the Black Fiend Venerable were all drawn by an invisible force and condensed into an ancient and unadorned black longsword in his palm.
The sword has no superfluous patterns on its blade, except for a golden imperial rune that runs through the spine of the sword, exuding supreme majesty that looks down upon all heavens and controls life and death.
"This sword is named Zhenyu!"
The Evil Emperor's voice was as indifferent as ice, yet it carried an undeniable majesty that resounded throughout the entire starry sky: "You are worthy of my sword."
The moment the words left his mouth, the Evil Emperor vanished from his spot.
His speed was so fast that even light couldn't keep up with his trajectory. Only a jet-black sword light, like a shooting star piercing through the eternal night, appeared in front of the Black Fiend Venerable in an instant.
Black Fiend Venerable was terrified and dared not have the slightest thought of resistance. He suddenly held the Annihilation Battle Axe in front of him and pushed his entire body's fiendish energy to the limit, condensing dozens of thick fiendish energy barriers in front of him.
Each barrier is strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a mid-stage Dao Realm expert. With dozens of barriers stacked together, even a full-force attack from a peak Dao Realm expert might not be able to break through easily.
"Annihilation? All Fiends Return to Origin!" Black Fiend Venerable roared, his voice filled with despair.
However, all of this was as fragile as paper in the face of the Evil Emperor's Zhenyu Sword.
"Hey!"
With a soft, understated sound, dozens of barriers of malevolent energy melted away instantly, like thin ice meeting the blazing sun.
The Zhenyu Sword struck the Annihilation Battle Axe without any resistance. The Annihilation Runes on the axe shattered inch by inch. Then, the entire battle axe split open from the middle and exploded into countless black fragments.
The sword light, its momentum undiminished, slashed straight towards the chest of the Black Fiend Venerable.
Black Fiend Venerable's pupils shrank sharply. He mustered his last bit of strength, gathering all his Dao power in his chest, wanting to make a final stand.
But the moment the sword light touched his body, he felt an irresistible force, as if his body, soul, and even his own Dao principles were being forcibly stripped away by this sword.
"Do not!!"
A piercing scream echoed through the starry sky, only to be abruptly cut short the next second.
The Black Fiend Venerable's body turned to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving not even a trace of his soul. Only his blood-red mask trembled slightly in the void before being crushed into powder by the aftershocks of the Zhenyu Sword.
Having dealt with the Black Fiend Venerable, the Evil Emperor did not stop. He turned to look at the Rose Venerable, his eyes icy and devoid of any warmth.
Rose Venerable was already terrified and her face turned pale. She watched as Black Fiend Venerable was killed instantly without even having the power to resist. The fear in her heart had already overwhelmed all her killing intent!
Without hesitation, she turned around and manipulated the Annihilation Demon Cauldron to escape into the depths of the starry sky. She even went so far as to activate the cauldron's original power, hoping to exchange the cauldron for a chance to survive by self-destructing it.
"Want to go?"
The Evil Emperor snorted coldly, and the moment his voice fell, he flicked his finger.
A faint golden imperial rune shot out from the sky, moving with lightning speed, and instantly pierced through the Rose Venerable's brow.
The Rose Venerable's body suddenly stiffened, the life in her eyes quickly vanished, black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, and her body slowly collapsed.
The Demon Cauldron of Annihilation before her, having lost its master's control, saw its hideous runes quickly dim, its original power to devour the heavens vanish, and it floated trembling in the void like a frightened child.
With a wave of his hand, the Evil Emperor summoned the Annihilation Demon Cauldron, which transformed into a stream of light and flew into his palm.
He gently stroked the cauldron, a complex light flashing in his eyes. Then, with a flick of his finger, the demon cauldron was enveloped by an aura and disappeared into the void.
At the same time, Song Yu had already arrived at the place where the Rose Venerable had fallen. He looked at the dissipated Black Fiend Venerable and Rose Venerable, paused for a moment, and then cupped his hands towards the Evil Emperor and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Evil Emperor."
The Evil Emperor waved his hand, a hint of fatigue on his face, and the terrifying pressure around him slowly subsided. He said softly, "It's alright, you've worked hard!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Emperor coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned as pale as paper, and the power around him began to become chaotic.
"Senior!" Song Yu's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to help him up.
"No need." The Evil Emperor raised his hand to stop him. He took a deep breath and forcibly stabilized his chaotic Dao energy. "I just used the power hidden within my body."
Just then, the protective array of the heavens below trembled violently, and the runes on the golden light screen flickered, threatening to collapse at any moment.
Ying Zheng and the others were already drenched in sweat and pale-faced, clearly having reached their limit.
The remnants of countless souls released by the Demon Cauldron, though no longer under the control of the Rose Venerable, remained as ferocious as ever, frantically attacking the great formation, trying to devour living beings and strengthen themselves.
Seeing this, Song Yu's face darkened. Holding the Divine Sword, he turned to look at the great formation below, a resolute glint in his eyes.
The six chaotic energies around him began to circulate wildly, and the dark golden sword intent soared into the sky, sweeping towards those remnant souls.
"Shinto? Destroy evil!"
A loud shout resounded through the starry sky, and countless dark golden sword lights fell like raindrops. Each sword light contained the power to purify evil spirits. Under the sword light, those dark remnant souls let out a series of shrill screams, and then turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated into the void.
As the remnant soul dissipated, the pressure on the Heavenly Guardian Array decreased sharply, and the runes on the golden light screen became dazzling again.
Ying Zheng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Song Yu and the Evil Emperor to express their gratitude.
Song Yu nodded slightly, then turned to look at the Evil Emperor, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes: "Senior, your injuries..."
The Evil Emperor waved his hand, then looked up into the depths of the starry sky, his eyes as deep as an abyss: "Black Fiend and Rose are merely one of the three supreme beings. The Temple of Annihilation is far more than that."
