Chapter 80 The Tragedy of the Quantity Emperor 3
Chapter 80 The Tragedy of the Quantity Emperor 3
Beyond the Rakshasa Starfield, the vast galaxy was completely shrouded in a layer of chaotic divine mist that blotted out the sun. The Dutian Divine Fiend Array, based on the Twelve Dutian Divine Banners, drew upon the endless primordial evil energy of the universe, its array patterns intertwining like chains of heaven, sealing off the entire starry sky completely.
The Undying War God and the Undying Blood Clan Chief stood side by side at the edge of the star field, gazing at the peerless divine array that stretched for billions of miles before them. Both giants of the Hell Realm, who had lived for countless years, had undisguised shock in their eyes.
When the twelve banners of the Heavenly Banner, shrouded in boundless malevolent energy and already approaching the threshold of divine artifacts, came into view, the old eyes of the Undying Blood Clan Chief, weathered by countless ages, instantly widened, almost bulging out of their sockets. His aged voice trembled uncontrollably: "I knew long ago that Mo Lian was now the richest man in the Hell Realm, his wealth rivaling that of a nation, but I never imagined he could be so arrogant. Twelve divine artifacts—I couldn't even exchange this old man for them."
He patted his chest, gazing at the divine array with a mix of emotions. The star array that the Supreme God of Kunlun Realm had set up to isolate the Yellow Springs Star Domain back then, which consumed countless rare and precious materials and divine gold and materials, was probably no less impressive than this one.
The Undying War God didn't say much. His piercing eyes swept over countless array patterns, instantly discerning the location of the divine array's only gate. The overwhelming pressure of his peak Undying Limitless power emanated from his body as he said in a deep voice, "Old man, don't be surprised. The three demons inside the array have chaotic auras, and the divine array is fluctuating violently. They are clearly at a critical juncture of life and death. I must enter quickly."
His perception far surpassed that of others in the same realm. His divine sense probed into the formation and instantly captured a terrifying battle power fluctuation that surpassed all the heavens. The strength of that Kui Liang Emperor was several times stronger than they had previously predicted, and had already reached the level of a Heavenly Venerable.
The mockery on the face of the Undying Blood Clan Chief vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity. He raised his hand and summoned the Blood-Red Divine Millstone, a battle weapon. As the millstone turned, the sea of blood surged and the laws roared. The two figures transformed into two streams of light, tearing through the array gate and rushing into the core of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array.
At this moment, Ling Che, Emperor Luo Yan, and Emperor Xuehai were trapped in a desperate situation within the formation.
Kui Lianghuang's realm far surpassed that of the three, and he also possessed the original lamp, a top-tier divine artifact personally refined by the Ancestor of Life. Even with the full support of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array, Ling Che and the other two were still suppressed and forced to retreat step by step. Their divine bodies were already covered with hideous wounds, and their divine blood stained the surrounding starry sky.
As the core of the formation, Ling Che was protected by the Twelve Heavenly Banners, so his injuries were still manageable. However, Emperor Luo Yan and Emperor Xue Hai were on the verge of death. Emperor Kui Liang had already decided to kill and no longer held back. His perfect spiritual power techniques, at the level of Heavenly Perfection, exploded wildly within the formation like fireworks. Each technique carried the power to obliterate the heavens and crush divine souls.
His mental power transformed into a boundless dark universe, directly confronting the infinite primordial evil energy of the universe drawn by the great formation, without being at a disadvantage in the slightest; the originally eerie blue flames of the lamps in his hands rose up, transforming into chains of laws, constantly eroding the souls and bodies of the three, causing their cultivation to stagnate, and even the foundation of their Great Dao to faintly crumble.
With the ebony staff raised high, the laws of the Kui Liang Emperor surged from his fingertips, beams of light imbued with the profound mysteries of the Great Dao pierced through spatial barriers and penetrated the void, striking Ling Che, Emperor Xuehai, and Emperor Luo Yan with devastating force. Their divine bodies were pierced, leaving bloody holes, from which golden and crimson divine blood gushed forth, hissing and annihilating upon encountering spatial turbulence, scattering into a sky full of divine radiance.
"The snow-covered sea stretches endlessly, the emperor's empire crumbles!"
The Snow Sea Emperor's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He mustered his last ounce of divine power and unleashed his most powerful divine ability. In an instant, a flurry of snowflakes swept through the area, freezing millions of miles of space into a desolate snow kingdom. With a single, sweeping palm strike, the entire snow kingdom, like an ancient scroll spanning the galaxy, slammed down with earth-shattering force upon the spiritual avatar of the Kui Liang Emperor.
The deafening roar caused the towering spiritual power of the Kui Liang Emperor to dim slightly in an instant.
Seeing this, Ling Che did not hesitate to activate the power of the Xuanming Divine Banner, drawing upon the essence of the divine array to empower the Snow Sea Emperor. With the power of the divine array flowing into his body, the Snow Sea Emperor's aura surged, and his combat strength soared to the Undying Limitless stage.
The Emperor Ke Kui Liang is far beyond the ordinary, indestructible, and immeasurable.
This person's combat strength is so great that he can face even a Heavenly Venerable expert without being at a disadvantage, making him one of the most elite combatants in the organization. Even the Snow Sea Emperor's ultimate killing technique failed to fundamentally harm him.
Kui Lianghuang snorted coldly, and his spiritual power dharma form, a giant palm that blotted out the sky, slammed down, directly slamming the exhausted Xuehai Emperor into a spatial depression. The spatial turbulence tore at his divine body, almost crushing him to death.
"father in law!"
Worried about his father-in-law's safety, Ling Che didn't hesitate any longer and took out a crimson square treasure box, which was the Xing Tian Armor Summoning Device that he had painstakingly crafted. He pressed his fingertip on the summoning device, and the moment the shutter was pressed, the ultimate spatial laws erupted, freezing time and space within the entire array, and Kui Lianghuang's movements suddenly slowed down by a fraction.
Emperor Luo Yan seized this fleeting opportunity, and with a flash, rescued the heavily injured Emperor Xuehai from the spatial turbulence.
Ling Che roared to the sky, channeling his divine power into the summoning device: "Xingtian Armor, combine!"
The red and white Xingtian Armor instantly covered his entire body, perfectly matching the divine inner armor on his body. Layers of defensive laws were superimposed, and his defensive power directly rose to the late stage of the Undying Limitless Realm. Then, he activated the secret technique again, and the armor transformed into its second form. His whole body was surrounded by golden light, and a peerless greatsword with a silver blade and a red and white hilt broke through the void and emerged: "War God's Blazing Fire Sword!"
"May Heaven grant you good fortune and may your destiny be as you wish!"
Ling Che simultaneously summoned the Ruyi Scepter with his left hand. The jade-like Ruyi radiated countless brilliant divine lights, instantly transforming into an ancient divine pillar that supported the sky and the earth. The laws of destiny traversed the galaxy, forcibly imprisoning the entire space-time. Kui Lianghuang's great path was locked, and his movements came to an abrupt halt. He had no choice but to activate the original lamp to erect a layer of blue light shield for forced defense.
"Heaven and Earth War God Slash!"
Seizing the opportunity of life and death, Ling Che unleashed the full power of his War God Blazing Sword, combined with the baleful aura within the formation, to unleash a crimson sword beam that seemed to split the heavens and the earth.
The sword beam traversed billions of miles of starry river, directly cleaving through tens of millions of miles of space. Spatial fragments and chaotic currents of laws were shattered by its single strike, and it crashed irresistibly onto the Kui Liang Emperor's protective shield. The layers of blue light that had been stacked on top of each other crumbled like paper under this fatal blow, and the sword beam struck the Kui Liang Emperor's divine body directly.
The robe he wore, symbolizing his supreme status within the organization, was instantly cleaved in two, scattering fragments everywhere; his spiritual avatar, nearly a hundred million miles tall, was pierced directly by the sword light, almost severed in half, its soul light fluctuating violently, nearly collapsing completely.
Kui Lianghuang possessed supreme spiritual power, but his physical body was a fatal weakness. Ling Che and his companions seized upon this vulnerability, relentlessly pressing forward, intending to engage in close combat and kill him with melee power. Kui Lianghuang was filled with apprehension and could only activate the Original Lamp to continuously increase the distance between himself and the three, unleashing a barrage of Heavenly Perfection spiritual power techniques in an attempt to suppress them with ranged attacks.
Ling Che stood with his sword in hand, his divine voice resounding throughout the formation: "Kui Liang Emperor, do not resist! The powerful forces of our Hell Realm have already rushed to the Yellow Springs Starfield. Yama Supreme and Tiannan Qingzu will arrive soon. Your proud spiritual power will be completely suppressed before these two supreme powers. Today, you will have no way to escape!"
Kui Lianghuang's heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
The Heavenly Divine Array had already severed his connection with the external organizations, cutting off any reinforcements. If he were truly surrounded by the powerful forces of the Hell Realm, those so-called allies would only seek to protect themselves and would never risk their lives to come to his rescue. Watching Ling Che and the other two fight desperately, determined to leave him there, his eyes beneath the mask instantly turned bloodshot, blazing with fury. Yet, deep within his heart, a barely concealed fear lurked.
He knew that he was in dire straits, but he was still unwilling to perish.
"Since that's the case, let's all perish together!"
Kui Lianghuang roared, unleashing his full spiritual power. The original flame within the lamp surged violently, transforming into countless fire dragons that soared into the sky. Each fire dragon contained the ultimate mystery of the laws of destiny of the Ancestor of Life, capable of obliterating all things and dissolving the Great Dao. They swept towards Ling Che, the eye of the formation, like a tidal wave. As long as he killed Ling Che, who controlled the divine formation, he could break through the formation and escape.
In an instant, countless fire dragons engulfed Ling Che. The original flames transformed into countless blood-red chains, tightly binding his divine body and frantically refining his soul and divine power, attempting to reduce him to ashes. Ling Che desperately activated the War God's Blazing Sword and the Auspicious Ruyi to resist, but the power of these divine artifacts was ultimately no match for the primal power of the Ancestral Treasure, and they were devoured by the flames in an instant.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Luo Yan and Emperor Xue Hai's expressions changed drastically. They desperately tried to step forward to help, but were struck hard by the two blue orbs of light condensed by Emperor Kui Liang. Their divine bodies flew backward, spitting out divine blood, and they were no longer able to provide assistance.
Under the extreme refinement of the original lamp, Ling Che's Xingtian Armor crumbled inch by inch, forced to disintegrate, leaving only his divine inner armor and the auspicious Ruyi to desperately resist the lamp's erosion. He exerted all his strength to draw upon the power of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Banners, using the array's malevolent energy to counteract the original lamp's primordial power. If it weren't for the support of the Capital Heavenly Banners' malevolent energy array, the three of them would have already been refined to the point of annihilation by Kui Lianghuang's spiritual power and the original lamp alone.
Ling Che knew perfectly well that the grand formation was not yet fully completed, and the twelve divine banners were only at the quasi-divine artifact level. The difference between them and the original lamp was like an insurmountable chasm. The fact that they could hold out until now was already their limit. If the stalemate continued, the grand formation would surely be destroyed, and the twelve divine banners would also be completely ruined, resulting in more harm than good.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he prepared to detonate all the cosmic malevolent energy accumulated within the great formation, engaging in a desperate battle with Kui Lianghuang.
At this critical moment, two unparalleled powers that traversed the Milky Way broke through the formation.
"You old scoundrel, how dare you harm my comrades from the Hell Realm!"
The Undying War God unleashed a blood-red halberd that tore through the air, a halberd shadow hundreds of millions of miles long ripped through the void, like an ancient blood dragon roaring across the sky, its divine might shattering the heavens and directly shattering the spiritual domain of the Kui Liang Emperor.
At the same time, the Undying Blood Clan Chief raised his hand and summoned a blood-colored divine millstone. The millstone turned, and an endless sea of blood surged forth, with endless waves of blood sweeping in all directions. This forcefully interrupted the original output of the lamp, and the chains of lamp flames that were wrapped around Ling Che instantly vanished.
The pressure on Ling Che's body suddenly decreased, and he coughed out a breath of stale air. Seeing the two arrive, he felt much more at ease.
The Undying War God spread his wings, blood-red wings that blotted out the sky, his battle intent surging like a galaxy in reverse, and charged straight at Kui Liang Emperor. His halberd swept across, shattering the void. Caught off guard, Kui Liang Emperor was slammed into his divine body by the halberd, flying backward like a meteor, crashing through countless spaces, his divine blood spraying everywhere.
The Undying Blood Clan Chief stood proudly in the void, looking at the disheveled Ling Che and his two companions, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Brother Luo Yan, Demon Refining Master, you've suffered! The Undying War God and I arrived just in time, didn't we?"
Emperor Luo Yan struggled to his feet, looking at Emperor Kui Liang, who was being held tightly by the Undying War God. His heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled. He let out a long breath and said in a hoarse voice, "Old Qi, it's all thanks to the two of you arriving in time. Emperor Kui Liang's cultivation level far exceeded my expectations. If it weren't for Mo Lian's desperate control of the formation, we wouldn't have been able to stop him today."
He was filled with dread, never expecting that the mastermind behind the Rakshasa clan's situation was none other than the enigmatic and unpredictable Kui Liang Emperor. His combat prowess was so immense that, with Tianmu no longer appearing in the Rakshasa clan, he was virtually unstoppable. If the original plan proceeded as scheduled, the Rakshasa clan would surely face annihilation.
The Snow Sea Emperor, having barely repaired his divine body, watched the earth-shattering battle unfold within the formation, his back already soaked with cold sweat. He turned and glared at Ling Che, his tone filled with lingering fear and anger: "You brat! How dare you act so recklessly! Kui Liang Emperor is a giant of the Liang Organization, and you dared to intercept him alone? What would Linglong do if anything happened to you!"
Ling Che gave a wry smile and cupped his hands, saying, "Father-in-law, the matter is urgent. The appearance of the true form of the Kui Liang Emperor is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. If we let him leave, he will surely become a major threat to the Underworld. I have no other choice."
The Snow Sea Emperor snorted coldly and said no more, but he secretly made up his mind that when he returned, he would definitely complain about this "cheap son-in-law" to his daughter Linglong.
Ling Che ignored his father-in-law's thoughts, his gaze fixed on the battle. The Undying War God was one of the most outstanding forces still existing in the Hell Realm, his cultivation had long since reached the peak of the Undying Boundless Realm, and every strike he made had the power to shatter galaxies and destroy armies. His battle with Kui Lianghuang had already exceeded the limit of the great formation's capacity.
The Twelve Heavenly God Banners struggled desperately to hold on, but shocking cracks had already appeared on the array walls.
Ling Che acted decisively, severing the array incantation and dispersing the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons. He then used only the Twelve Divine Banners to seal off the entire star field, using the power of the divine artifacts to relentlessly suppress Kui Lianghuang's escape route. He then turned to Luo Yan and the Undying Blood Clan Chief, saying in a deep voice, "The three of you, the Undying War God is locked in a life-or-death battle with Kui Lianghuang. We must guard the four directions of space, laying down an inescapable net, and absolutely not give him any chance to escape!"
Luo Yan and the other two nodded in unison, their figures flashing as they each guarded the four corners of the star field. Their divine power intertwined, forming an impenetrable net of confinement.
Surrounded on all sides, Emperor Kui Liang felt extremely frustrated, but his breathing was disordered, and he was already in a desperate situation where he was surrounded by enemies.
In the center of the battlefield, the Undying War God, wielding a halberd, resembled a peerless demon emerging from an ancient blood prison. His aura swirled like a galaxy, his battle intent reaching its peak. Each swing of his halberd unleashed a torrent of bloodlust, shattering countless stars and forcing Kui Lianghuang into a relentless retreat, suffering unspeakable torment.
"The Blood Ancestor devours spirits, all realms fall silent!"
The Undying War God roared and unleashed a divine power that seemed to encompass all the heavens!
A towering phantom of the Blood Ancestor, hundreds of millions of miles tall, burst forth from the void, standing atop the starry river. Countless crimson realms surrounded him, resembling the myriad stars of the heavens. The battle halberd pointed directly at Emperor Kuiliang. The Blood Ancestor phantom raised its hand and unleashed countless blood realms. One after another, these realms exploded on Emperor Kuiliang's body, endless crimson light engulfing his figure and slamming him into the depths of the star field.
The dust has settled, and the Milky Way has returned to silence.
Everyone stared intently, and saw Kui Lianghuang hovering in the void, looking utterly disheveled. He clutched the Original Lamp tightly in his hand, his divine body covered in hideous wounds, dripping with divine blood. The Kui character mask that symbolized his identity was mostly torn, revealing half of his aged yet familiar face. His spiritual avatar, condensed over countless years, had become extremely illusory, and his cultivation aura was leaking out like a flood bursting its banks.
The Undying War God's pupils suddenly contracted, his voice filled with extreme shock: "So it was you! Fortune and Prosperity God. I never expected you to have joined the Power Organization. You cultivate both divine and martial arts, yet you only reveal your martial arts prowess to the world. You've hidden it far too well."
With his identity fully exposed, the God of Fortune and Prosperity slowly removed his mask, revealing his face completely. Looking at the Undying War God, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and his voice, hoarse yet tinged with admiration, said, "Undying War God, I never imagined your cultivation had reached such a level. I have never misjudged you; your talent far surpasses that of Old Ghost Shang..."
The Milky Way fell silent, and all around were astonished.
No one could have imagined that the awe-inspiring God of Fortune and Prosperity, who shook the underworld, was actually the leader of the omnipresent "Kui Liang Emperor," a powerful organization that had been lurking for millennia!
