Chapter 5167 Arrival
"hold head high--"
The golden dragon and the blue light collided in mid-air.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
The golden dragon, whose power was enough to shatter stars, did not explode the moment it touched the tiny blue light. Instead, it melted away rapidly, like ice and snow meeting a hot iron.
A bluish-green aura of death spread from the dragon's head, instantly staining its entire body. The golden dragon let out a painful wail, its body disintegrating inch by inch, turning into dim golden light that dissipated into the void.
"Hmm? Your 'Law of Death' has actually touched the threshold of the eighth step, evolving into the true meaning of 'withering and flourishing'?!"
The Emperor Zhongyu's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that in just tens of thousands of years since they last fought, the Demon Emperor Qingquan's strength had improved to such an extent.
"Just a little insight, more than enough to kill a junior."
"I am the Demon Emperor of the Azure Spring," he said casually, pointing his finger out again.
This time, it's not one finger, but three fingers tapping in quick succession!
"Heaven, Earth, and Man—the Three Calamities!"
Three beams of azure light, more condensed and terrifying than before, shot out in a triangular pattern, locking onto Su Bai's physical body, primordial spirit, and Dao fruit respectively, sealing off all his life force and escape routes.
Damn it!
The Emperor's pupils contracted, and he instantly flew into a rage. He knew that conventional methods would no longer be enough to stop him.
He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence into his palm, and directly summoned his natal weapon—the Central Heaven Seal.
"town!"
A large yellow seal, the size of an ancient divine mountain, appeared out of thin air.
As soon as this great seal appeared, the gravity of the entire Boundary Sea increased ten thousandfold. It exuded an aura as heavy as the earth bearing all things, carrying the will of the Heavenly Court, and slammed fiercely into the three beams of azure light.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A violent explosion resounded less than a hundred feet above Su Bai's head.
A violent energy storm swept in like a cataclysmic hurricane, causing Su Bai's clothes to flutter wildly, his skin to crack, and him to almost lose his balance.
But in that fleeting moment of chaos, Su Bai did something that no one expected.
He neither retreated nor dodged.
Despite the aftershocks of the battle that could tear apart ordinary immortal powerhouses, he frantically formed hand seals, pushing the already dried-up "Primordial Chaos Body" technique within his body to its limit.
He opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply into the void!
"Devouring the heavens and earth!"
He actually absorbed the liquefied source crystals left in the void after the previous tribulation, as well as the fragments of shattered immortal laws generated by the battle between the two powerful figures!
This is playing with fire!
It's like a person dying of thirst swallowing a ball of fire and shards of glass.
"Well!!!"
Su Bai let out a painful growl, the tearing sensation in his meridians almost making him faint.
But his eyes shone with an alarming intensity. The domineering nature of the Primordial Chaos Body was unmistakably revealed at this moment. The violent energy was forcibly crushed and purified, transforming into surging divine power that nourished his parched foundation.
Every cell cheered, greedily absorbing this energy carrying an aura of destruction, repairing its damaged body, and stabilizing its newly broken-through realm.
"He's using the aftermath of our battle to train?!"
This scene not only stunned the Emperor Zhongyu, but also caused the usually calm and collected Demon Emperor Qingquan to show surprise for the first time.
He keenly noticed Su Bai's subtle movements, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "What audacity! What strong willpower! In this situation, instead of thinking about escaping, he actually dares to snatch chestnuts from the fire? This kid... really is a complete madman."
Although his killing intent towards Su Bai had not diminished, his admiration for her had only grown stronger.
Compared to those fools in the Demon Kingdom who only know how to rely on their bloodline talents and killing instincts, Su Bai, a genius who is brave and resourceful, calm in the face of danger, and even dares to use the power of his enemies to strengthen himself, is more in line with his definition of "strong".
"What a pity! If you had been born in my Demon Kingdom, I would have taken you as my last disciple. But precisely because of this, you must die today!"
The admiration in Qingquan Demon Emperor's eyes instantly turned into absolute coldness.
He no longer held back, and with a swift movement, he passed directly through the defensive circle of the Central Emperor. His demonic hand transformed into the claw of a demonic dragon, reaching for Su Bai's head.
However, at this critical moment...
"Om-"
The entire spacetime of the Heavenly Court's boundary sea seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand.
All the storms ceased howling, and all the laws ceased to flow.
Even the Azure Spring Demon Emperor, who was rushing towards Su Bai, and the Central Imperial Emperor, who was desperately trying to stop him, felt an irresistible force descending upon them.
Their figures were frozen in place!
This is not magic, but a suppression of the dimension of life.
Two immense auras, surpassing immortality and touching the threshold of the legendary "Tai Zhen Realm," even carrying a trace of the complete "world will," descended upon this ruin simultaneously.
Above the sky, golden light shone brightly, auspicious clouds rolled, and purple clouds stretched for 30,000 miles in the east.
A colossal phantom, clad in a nine-dragon imperial robe, with a blurred face yet exuding unparalleled majesty, slowly emerged from the clouds.
He stood high above, looking down upon all living beings, as if he were the master of this world and the source of all paths.
The Lord of the Primordial Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Venerable!
At the bottom of the Boundary Sea, endless darkness surged, transforming into a terrifying giant face that blotted out the sky.
Those blood-red eyes, like two burning blood moons, exuded a destructive aura that instilled despair and madness, coldly gazing upwards.
The Demon Emperor, ruler of the Demon Empire.
According to rumors, he was already a legendary master of the Tai Zhen realm, immortal and indestructible.
However, no one has ever seen the other's true form.
Although the supreme leaders of the two super powers did not come in person, the mere presence of their will caused this entire world to tremble and submit.
"Demon Ancestor, you have crossed the line."
The Celestial Venerable's voice was calm yet grand, like the divine voice of heaven, devoid of any worldly concerns, yet it resonated in everyone's consciousness, making them want to bow down in worship.
"Hmph! Heavenly Venerable!"
The Demon Ancestor's voice was hoarse and grating, carrying a thick stench of blood, like billions of vengeful ghosts grinding their teeth, "This brat killed my Demon Emperor, destroyed the foundation of my Demon Kingdom, and severed the destiny of my demonic path. And you still want to protect him?"
"If you're not as skilled as others, you deserve to die."
The Celestial Venerable said calmly, his tone exuding an undeniable domineering air, "Su Bai is the newly promoted Sword God King of my Heavenly Court, and the first person in history to have successfully passed the Perfect Immortal Tribulation. From this day forward, he will be the 'Imperial Son' of my Heavenly Court."
"The Emperor's son?!"
The moment those two words were uttered, the entire audience was stunned.
A look of disbelief and shock flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Zhongyu, who was frozen in place. He hadn't expected the Heavenly Venerable to go to such lengths to grant Su Bai such a high status!
The imperial prince, whose position is equal to that of the Five Emperors, enjoys the supreme fortune of the Heavenly Court and is even qualified to inherit the future position of the Heavenly Venerable!
This is not just an honorary title, but also real power and the highest level of protection.
This is tantamount to declaring to the entire universe: Su Bai is the future hope of the Heavenly Court, and anyone who touches him is waging war against the entire Heavenly Court!
The Azure Spring Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, "This old fellow really wants to keep Su Bai firmly tied to the Heavenly Court's chariot. However, this kid's value is indeed worth the Heavenly Court doing this for."
The Demon Ancestor fell silent.
Those huge, blood-red eyes stared intently at Su Bai below, as if trying to see through his soul and completely unravel his secrets.
