Emperor’s Domination

“Ceremonial Heaven!” Buddha Fiend placed his palms together and bowed, carrying the force of the endless firmaments.

“Rumble!” The attack destroyed meteoric sparks and ended the momentum of the spear. His anima stage was higher than Smoke Fiend and this made a considerable difference.

“Count me in!” Serpent-winged Specter Saint joined the fight.

This was not the time to think about battle etiquette since the main goal was to take down the barrier.

His wings came together to form two hatchets, capable of decapitating anything.

“Bam!” Smoke Fiend was prepared defensively but still got sent flying while vomiting blood.

“Kill him!” Both rushed forward and entered the formation, wanting to kill Smoke Fiend and destroy the barriers.

“Enough!” A thunderous roar interrupted the duo from killing Smoke Fiend.

“Boom!” An imperial aura swept through the battlefield like a primordial flood.

“Clank!” A blinding blade appeared, large enough to cut all of Splendor Terra in one strike.

Spectators trembled in horror, feeling like ants beneath the slash.

Serpent-winged Specter Saint and Buddha Fiend had no choice but to assume a defensive position against the incoming slash.

“Bam!” The saint couldn’t withstand the sword intent and staggered backward.

He looked up and saw a middle-aged scholar standing inside the grand momentum. Despite his gentle appearance, his imperial aura surged boundlessly and suffocated everyone. The sword in his hand was larger than him.

“Greatsword Grand Emperor, the vice city lord.” Everyone knew who he was - a twelve-fruit emperor.

His presence provided solace to the members of Splendor. At the very least, their ancestors didn’t abandon them.

He was a man of few words and exchanged a glance with Smoke Fiend. They understood time was not on their side. Pushing back the enemies was crucial since there was another thing they needed to deal with.

“Cosmic Blade!” He roared and his blade soared into the air before unleashing a deadly rain.

“Cycle-ender Smoke!” Smoke Fiend was ready and puffed out a plume of smoke from his pipe. It expanded and surrounded the two enemies, preventing them from running.

Buddha Fiend and the devil saint looked up in astonishment. The former took out a vajra and summoned images of fierce Buddhas: “Supreme Firmament, I am untethered in the kingdom of Buddhism!”

“True Dragon Roar!” The devil saint believed offense was the best defense. Thus, he channeled all of his dao power into a single roar, aiming it straight at the incoming swords.

“Rumble!” The sky shattered due to their attacks.

One side had the teamwork advantage since they were from the same sect. The other couldn’t stop the swords and the restraining smoke, suffering a tough defeat with the exchange.

“Kill them!” Greatsword and Smoke Fiend gave chase, wanting to deliver the finishing blow.

The other two lamented internally - this must be the end of the road for them.

“Boom!” A palm strike grabbed the emperor’s sword and stopped Smoke Fiend’s meteors.

“Bam!” The two staggered backward from the impact.

Another Grand Emperor joined the fray, seemingly in total control of the situation. His pressure froze everyone including Greatsword.

“Omni Grand Emperor!” He was among the top two out of six emperors from Phantom Dynasty - a half-step apex emperor.

“I do not ask for much.” He spoke while others lowered their head, not able to withstand his power.

“I only want the holy horn of the unicorn. Hand it over and I shall leave.” He spoke straightforwardly.

Although his dynasty was working with the others to take down Splendor Palace, he didn’t work with others.

Members of Phantom and Immortal Suppression didn’t dare to say anything. Omni was strong enough to have autonomy. Only the two oldest ancestors from Phantom would dare to interfere with his choices.

“We will not yield any of the six immortal treasures to anyone.” Greatsword refused.

“Who will protect the treasures once all of you are dead?” Omni said.

“Haha, even your Specter Ancestor wouldn’t dare to say this under ordinary circumstances.” Smoke Fiend barked back.

Specter Ancestor was the founder of Phantom, the strongest of the dynasty.
