Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

”Dragon Emperor, you will die a miserable death.”

The Asura Blood Emperor roared.

”Asura, more than a hundred thousand years have passed. Did you really think the grudge between us could be resolved so easily? In this struggle between you and me, I am the one who will have the last laugh!”

A cruel smile played on the Dragon Emperor’s face.

Behind him, Long Chan followed closely, standing beside the Dragon Emperor with a smug look on his face.

The Dragon Emperor looked at the Ice Emperor and said in a low voice, ”Ice Emperor, I am willing to submit to you. However, I hope you will honor your promise. After a hundred years, when the living beings of the Eastern Continent have recovered their vitality, you will perform the blood sacrifice for me and help me break through to the Demigod Realm!”

”Dragon Emperor, rest assured,” the Ice Emperor said with a smiling nod. ”I swear on my soul that after a hundred years, once the vitality of the Eastern Continent’s inhabitants has recovered, I will help you enter the Demigod Realm!”

”Good!”

The Dragon Emperor nodded, his expression cold. He looked toward the Sword Emperor and the others. ”Sword Emperor, Demon Emperor, Ping Shan, Feixue—what are you four waiting for?”

The Asura Blood Emperor’s expression changed drastically.

Even with the seven of them combined, they were no match for the Ice Emperor, who had already become a Demigod.

Now that the Dragon Emperor had betrayed them, if the Sword Emperor and the others also turned their backs on the Eastern Continent, there would be no hope left in this fight.

The Celestial Secret Elder’s expression was also grave as he looked at the Sword Emperor and the others.

He silently awaited their choice.

The Sword Emperor let out a long sigh and cast an apologetic glance at the Asura and the Celestial Secret Elder. ”I only have five hundred years of life left. Perhaps after the Dragon Emperor completes his blood sacrifice, I might still have a chance. Heaven and earth will destroy those who don’t look out for themselves. I have to take this gamble. I’m sorry!”

Song Tiancheng followed right behind him, flying to the Ice Emperor’s side.

Emperor Feixue’s gaze was grim, his eyes flickering with indecision before he finally let out a long sigh.

Without a word, he led the Feixue Country Lord and flew over to the Ice Emperor.

”You... how could you...” The Asura Blood Emperor trembled with rage, his face growing even paler.

The Ice Emperor laughed heartily. ”Asura, it seems you’ve been deserted by everyone!”

The Asura Blood Emperor was incandescent with rage.

His blood-red gaze turned to the Demon Emperor and Emperor Ping Shan.

Emperor Ping Shan said nothing, walking to the Asura Blood Emperor’s side. He turned to face the Ice Emperor, his deep voice like rolling thunder as he said coolly, ”I do indeed wish to break through to the Demigod Realm, but I would be ashamed to associate with the likes of you!”

”Hahaha!”

The Demon Emperor roared with laughter, Demon Flames Towering to Heaven erupting from his body. ”Everyone calls me the Demon Emperor, but compared to you all, I feel I am unworthy of the title ’Demon’!”

He too flew to the Asura Blood Emperor’s side.

At this moment, the Ice Emperor’s side had three veteran Emperor Realm experts—the Dragon Emperor, the Sword Emperor, and Emperor Feixue—as well as two newly promoted Emperor Realm masters, the Feixue Country Lord and Song Tiancheng.

As for the Asura Blood Emperor’s side, only the Celestial Secret Elder, the Demon Emperor, Emperor Ping Shan, Gai Jinlong, and Wei Lihuang remained.

In terms of numbers in the Emperor Realm, the Asura Blood Emperor’s side had the advantage, but their opponents had a Demigod!

It seemed the outcome of this battle was decided before it even began!

The Ice Emperor smiled mockingly. ”Asura, are you sure you still want to fight?”

The Asura Blood Emperor snorted coldly. ”So what if I die a hundred deaths? I will live and die with the Eastern Continent!”

”We swear to live and die with the Eastern Continent!”

”Even in death, I will never submit to a Demon like you!”

Gai Jinlong and the others roared in fury.

The Eastern Continent!

This was their homeland, their home, their roots!

Even if it meant their lifespans would run out and they could never break through to the Demigod Realm, they were unwilling to submit to the Ice Emperor, the one who would bring ruin to the Eastern Continent!

The Ice Emperor’s face slowly darkened, a cold smile tugging at his lips. His gaze swept over the Asura Blood Emperor and his allies as if looking at dead men. ”Since you are all so stubborn,” he said coolly, ”don’t blame me for not holding back for old times’ sake. Everyone, what are you waiting for? Attack and eliminate these obstacles who seek to sever our path to the Martial Dao!”

”Alright!”

”You forced my hand!”

The experts, led by the Dragon Emperor, charged toward the Asura Blood Emperor’s group all at once.

With murderous intent etched on their faces, the Asura Blood Emperor and the Celestial Secret Elder roared in unison, ”Kill!”

BOOM!

The two sides clashed in an instant.

”Asura, let me see what you’re made of!” The Dragon Emperor moved, Dragon Qi pulsing around him as he transformed into a humanoid True Dragon and charged at the Asura Blood Emperor.

”Asura Possession!”

The Asura Blood Emperor roared. A bloody light pulsed around him, and a giant, illusory Asura appeared behind him. It then shrank rapidly, merging with his body as he lunged toward the Dragon Emperor. ”Dragon Emperor, you will die today!”

”We’ll see if you have what it takes!”

The Dragon Emperor sneered repeatedly.

The two of them were locked in battle.

The Sword Emperor and the Demon Emperor, two beings of immense physical power, slammed into each other.

Like two colliding comets, they erupted in a blindingly fierce light.

Emperor Ping Shan’s body was like a mountain. He took a single step, causing Mountain Collapse and Earth Split, and charged toward Emperor Feixue with terrifying force. ”Feixue, die!”

”You think you can kill me? Dream on!” Emperor Feixue clapped his hands in the air, and a blizzard of wind and snow surged forward.

Gai Jinlong and Long Chan were also locked in a fierce battle.

Song Tiancheng looked at Wei Lihuang with a sneer. ”Wei Lihuang, you’ve been in charge of the Celestial Secret Pavilion all these years. I wonder if your cultivation has improved at all!”

Wei Lihuang replied coldly, ”It’s more than enough to kill you!”

”Hmph!”

Song Tiancheng snorted and charged at Wei Lihuang.

The Emperor Realm masters battled furiously, the fighting growing incredibly intense.

Only the Ice Emperor remained apart. He stood in the void with his arms crossed, a victorious smile on his face. He looked like a Sovereign in control of all life, his expression utterly indifferent. ’Fight! Go on and fight! The more of you that die, the happier I’ll be. The Eastern Continent... will ultimately be my Eastern Continent alone! Hahaha...’

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

The battle in the Celestial Vault was horrifically brutal.

The Emperor Realm masters had completely unleashed their power in a battle to the death.

Gai Jinlong erupted in a bloody radiance, looking like an Asura bathed in blood as he tightly gripped a Long Spear. The Long Spear transformed into a blood-red dragon, letting out draconic roars as it shot toward Long Chan, who had taken the form of a humanoid True Dragon.

Golden light pulsed around Long Chan as he thrust out a claw, like the claw of a True Dragon, tearing through the void.

He caught the bloody spear-light, then swept his dragon tail.

BANG!

The tail struck Gai Jinlong viciously, sending him flying backward to crash through a mountain peak. A gruesome gash appeared on his waist. Blood streamed from the wound. Gai Jinlong clutched his side, his face grim. ”Damn it... I didn’t expect your True Dragon Body to be this powerful.”

Long Chan charged forward with a savage grin. ”There’s a lot more you don’t know! Witness my True Dragon Realm!”

ROAR—

A clear dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth.

The True Dragon Realm enveloped Gai Jinlong. Tens of thousands of True Dragons stampeded and soared, roaring as they swept him up with world-destroying power.

Caught off guard, Gai Jinlong was completely swept into the air.

Long Chan grinned savagely. ”Die! True Dragon Spear!”

SWISH!

The dragon tail on his back actually detached from his body, transforming into a Golden Spear that he hurled violently at Gai Jinlong.

RUMBLE!

Heaven and earth trembled. The terrifying Golden Spear instantly arrived before Gai Jinlong, about to pierce him through. But just then, a stream of black sword-light streaked through the air and blocked the Golden Spear.

From the void, a calm and indifferent voice drifted out...

”Sorry, I’m late!”
