Strongest War Emperor

The Buddhist Sect’s master had called them old friends. Though they appeared young, how could they be ordinary?

Moreover, there was no sign of light wings behind them, which clearly meant they were existences at or above the King Martial Realm!

And Xue Dangdang actually said she would flatten their Three Sects?

Just how powerful was the faction backing Xue Dangdang?

Meanwhile, when the three powerhouses with their astonishing auras heard Xue Dangdang’s words right after they landed, their immense dignity suddenly vanished, replaced by wry smiles.

The youth in the green robe gave a bitter laugh and said, ”Dingdang, we didn’t want this to happen either. We have our own unspeakable difficulties. You know that we few never really get along, and every time we meet, we fight until the world is turned upside down. That’s why, before coming here, Master Kong Jing had us coordinate and make a vow to never attack again. We never expected...”

”Enough, Shangguan Feiyue! Why has Master Kongjing called us over now? Isn’t it to save someone? Are you ever going to stop rambling? Saving her is what’s important!” the young man carrying a Giant Blade scoffed.

”Hey, Shark’s Kiss, you...” Shangguan Feiyue fumed.

”One is the venerable Elder Ancestor of the Imperial Dragon Sect, a guardian sect of the nation, and the other is the Elder Ancestor of the Li Hen Sect. How old are you both, yet you still can’t change your tempers? Can you not have a proper conversation without arguing and fighting a few times? Both of you, shut your mouths and wait for Master Kongjing’s instructions.” With that, Gong Nanyan, the Elder Ancestor of the Flower Sect, turned and nodded to Xue Dangdang. ”Dingdang, as for why we didn’t intervene, can we explain later? Let’s help Master Kongjing save her first.”

Xue Dangdang pouted and remained silent, merely letting out a cold snort.

The three powerhouses immediately walked over to Master Kongjing’s side, preparing to act together to heal Nalan Ziyun.

Suddenly, all four of their expressions changed drastically. They whipped their heads around to look at the deep pit where Shen Lang and Yuwen Huaji had been fiercely battling.

From within the pit, an aura of world-destroying annihilation was being released!

”Not good!” Shark’s Kiss flickered and vanished from sight.

The next moment, Shark’s Kiss appeared to Shen Lang’s right and roared, ”Young friend, stop! Your body cannot withstand the backlash from this blade’s immense power! If you force it, your body will be shattered to pieces! Stop, now!”

”Stop? It’s too late... HAHAHAHA! Who dares stand in my way? If a god blocks me, I’ll kill the god! If a buddha blocks me, I’ll kill the buddha!”

Covered in blood, Shen Lang laughed with wild abandon as the aura around him surged violently. Blood continuously poured from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, creating a terrifying and ghastly sight.

BANG!

Accompanied by a piercing shriek, a ball of black mist exploded away from Shen Lang’s body. It was the Ghost King within him, no longer able to withstand the pressure of the Sword Intent, being directly blasted out.

At this moment, Shen Lang’s aura had climbed to its absolute peak. His entire body was dyed red with blood, his long hair whipping about, and a crimson mist churning around him, making him look just like a Blood Demon.

Shark’s Kiss, Elder Ancestor of the Li Hen Sect, an Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse who had been immersed in the Sword Dao for thousands of years, could only watch, utterly helpless!

He knew that Shen Lang’s Sword Intent had already permeated his entire body, and the Sword Skill was already in motion.

For an outsider to stop him, even one with a Cultivation ten or a hundred times greater, was now simply impossible.

”Senior, save me!” Yuwen Huaji, pinned to the ground, screamed shrilly.

The Sword Skill had not even been unleashed yet; the Sword Intent alone had completely suppressed Yuwen Huaji, pinning him as if a mountain were crushing him, rendering him unable to move!

For the first time, Yuwen Huaji felt that death was so terrifyingly close!

However, why would Shark’s Kiss care if he lived or died? He just watched Shen Lang’s aura surge and blood fly, wringing his hands and sighing in frustration.

An Emperor Martial Realm powerhouse, an Elder Ancestor of a sect, was completely at a loss, having no idea what to do...

Just then, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to converge madly on the long blade in Shen Lang’s hand, transforming into a torrential ocean wave!

Waves billowed and currents surged in the sky above Celestial Phoenix City!

Immediately after, this vast ocean wave suddenly condensed at an incredible speed, solidifying as it stretched across the sky, transforming into a Giant Blade that pierced through heaven and earth!

Peerless blade light, its edge supremely sharp!

Tearing through eternity, shaking the nine heavens with thunder!

An edge and momentum of extreme tyranny swept over the entirety of Celestial Phoenix City.

The entire city prostrated itself and trembled beneath this Giant Blade that seemed capable of shattering nothingness itself. A doomsday-like feeling enveloped everyone’s hearts.

In an instant, all of Celestial Phoenix City became as bright as day!

Ignoring his body bursting apart inch by inch, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, Shen Lang continued to madly channel his Sword Intent!

”Lang’Er...”

The heart-wrenching cry of Shen Lang’s mother suddenly echoed from the sky, lingering in the night air.

Figures blurred in the air. Master of Chaos and Shark’s Kiss appeared on his left and right, placing their hands on Shen Lang’s shoulders.

Their boundless Spiritual Power instantly surged into Shen Lang’s body. The Sword Intent that was about to destroy him, as if finding two new outlets, violently poured into Shark’s Kiss and Chaos!

The next moment...

Two tears of blood streamed down Shen Lang’s face. A hint of clarity returned to his eyes as he gripped the Celestial Water Blade with both hands and brought it down in a vicious slash!

”Water Demon Saber—Divide Sea, Split Earth, Break the Vault of Heaven!”

It was just a soft cry, but under the influence of the destructive Sword Intent, it boomed in people’s minds like apocalyptic thunder.

This moment was destined to become a memory the people of Celestial Phoenix City would never forget.

This moment was destined to become a legend in the history of Celestial Phoenix City!

Everyone looked up at the sky.

They stared blankly at the massive blade of light that pierced the Azure Vault, tore open the Azure Vault, and came slashing down.

The Sword Qi was savage, the winds surged and clouds roiled, as if even the intangible air was being split apart like a stream of water...

In that instant, there was absolute silence, as if all sound in the world had vanished.

People forgot everything, their eyes filled with nothing but this one-of-a-kind Demon Saber, unique in all of heaven and earth!

A Demon Saber that sundered eons!

A Demon Saber that annihilated heaven and earth!

A Demon Saber that swept away the sun, moon, and stars!

The next moment, a sound like mountains collapsing and the earth splitting suddenly erupted. Everyone in Celestial Phoenix City felt the ground shake violently, as if in an earthquake.

A few sighs echoed from the void, and two figures appeared out of thin air to the north and south of the massive pit.

Imperial Dragon Sect’s Elder Ancestor, Shangguan Feiyue, and Flower Sect’s Elder Ancestor, Nangong Yan, both spread their hands and gave a gentle push downwards!

A huge barrier of light suddenly appeared, enveloping the pit with Shen Lang at its center.

High above, Chu Qingcheng hovered in the air, watching the scene below. Her face showed neither joy nor sorrow as she witnessed this world-ending spectacle.

’It’s always like this. Someone is willing to walk toward death with a smile for his sake, and he, in turn, is willing to kiss the Death God for the sake of others... I don’t know how many years have passed, but this is still the scene I see.’

’Back then, I once mocked him. Later, I grew jealous of him...’

’When I look back on my life, I too have felt lost and confused... How should a person walk the path of their life to its end?’

’To face death with the one you love... isn’t a brief possession a form of eternity?’

’I schemed and plotted, only to end up deserted by all, and I even caused Dingdang’s Soul to Scatter... At that moment, death was no longer a punishment for me, but a release... and yet, I couldn’t die!’

’Having lost friendship and love, this eternal life has in fact become a shackle I cannot escape... Thankfully, I have now found the key.’

’In this lifetime, just let me watch you grow up, protect you well, and start over with you all. I promise I will never make the same kind of mistakes again.’

’But this kid... making such a huge scene every single time really is a headache. And look, he’s drawn out all these old monsters. Heh, so much for being lonely...’

Chu Qingcheng looked down at the pit below, a smile slowly forming on her lips.

Within the pit, destructive Energy spread out, raging wildly. Apocalyptic scenes manifested one after another!

Countless bits of rubble and dirt turned to nothingness...

When that unimaginable shockwave of energy met the barrier of light created by Shangguan Feiyue and Nangong Yan, it instantly caused the barrier to shudder violently. Then, with a continuous series of rumbles, the shockwave was forced to roll back on itself like a tidal wave!

At the center of the pit where the Powerful Qi raged, a Great Saber could be faintly seen plunged into the ground, releasing an incomparably mighty blade light that held back all of the rampaging Sword Intent in the surroundings.

Beside the Great Saber, Shark’s Kiss and Chaos stood to Shen Lang’s left and right, one hand on his shoulder. Their other hands were rapidly forming seals, leaving only a trail of afterimages as they continuously struck Shen Lang’s body.

Under the intervention of these two, Shen Lang’s originally shattered body actually stopped breaking apart and ceased to bleed.

And the Sword Intent inside him, which was more than capable of slicing his body into countless pieces, was now being completely guided out of his body by Shark’s Kiss and Chaos.

It was precisely because these two powerhouses acted that Shen Lang avoided the fate of his body exploding.

However, because of that one slash, although Shen Lang stood tall and proud, his eyes were tightly shut. He had already fallen unconscious!

Shen Lang felt like he had slept for a very long time and had a very long dream.

In this dream, Nalan Ziyun’s figure was everywhere, but no matter how he tried, he could never catch her...

”Brother Lang!”

A shrill cry from Xue Dangdang finally woke Shen Lang.

Shen Lang’s body shuddered, and his eyes snapped open!

”Heh, so I’m not dead...”

He looked around. The walls of the enormous crater were incredibly smooth, as if they had been meticulously crafted.

Not even one or two pieces of rubble could be seen on the ground; it was all dust...

Behind him, Master of Chaos had a bitter expression as he used Buddhist Dharma to dissolve the tyrannical Sword Intent. Shark’s Kiss, who had once again slung the Giant Blade onto his back, was looking at him with a complicated gaze.

The sound of something tearing through the air, SHHH SHHH SHHH, echoed from the sky. A group of Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses from the Imperial Dragon Sect had gathered around the crater, looking down in disbelief.

”Boss, are you okay...?” the Ghost King called out, his voice choked with tears.

When he was blown away just now, he thought he was a goner for sure.

He never expected that Shark’s Kiss would intervene to protect him.

Now, seeing Shen Lang awake, the Ghost King almost started bawling his eyes out.

But the bald monk beside Shen Lang was wreathed in Buddha Light, preventing him from getting close, so he could only shout from a distance.

Shen Lang said nothing, stumbling as he walked step by step out of the deep pit.

”Brother Lang...” Xue Dangdang was sobbing too hard to speak, her hands clamped over her mouth as she desperately tried to hold it in.

Shen Lang’s eyes were fixed on Nalan Ziyun, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. A desperate, agonizing pain rose in his heart once more.

The heart has gone with the wind, yet the mountains and rivers remain.

A life misplaced, who is it that mutters to themselves?

Flowers paved the path upon arrival, now desolate at departure.

If a heaven exists beyond this one, why linger in this mortal coil?

The water is full of feeling, yet it knows not the moon’s whims.

Our fate has run its course, leaving only destiny’s decree.

Loving only until one walks alone upon a frost-covered land...

Like a walking corpse, Shen Lang walked up to Nalan Ziyun, pushed aside the hands of Shangguan Feiyue and Nangong Yan, and picked her up in his arms.

’I have to take her into the Gate of Creation. No matter what, I must find the Life Spiritual Liquid!’

At this moment, this was the only thought left in Shen Lang’s mind.

”Hold on, you can’t leave! The one you just killed... was he a member of my Imperial Dragon Sect?”

The eight Xuanwu Realm Powerhouses in the air all descended, and one of them, a clean-shaven, pale-faced man, blocked Shen Lang’s path.
