Imperial God Emperor

Chapter 1353 - Life Sword

Their worries were not unfounded.

The closer they were to the King of Sovereigns cultivation, the more they were able to understand how terrifying Ye Qingyu\'s opponent was.

This was especially so for Wen Wan and the Six Divine Generals, who understood how terrifying the Abandoned Fiendgod and the others were. The Divine Light Emperor had drawn on the power of the Vast Thousand Star Domains to increase his strength, but he had only been on par with the Abandoned Fiendgod, who had merely projected himself halfway into the Vast Thousand Star Domains. After they walked out of the Vast Thousand Star Domains, they would be facing the Abandoned Fiendgod in his true form, and to make matters worse, he might even have accomplices. The King of Destruction, who had appeared back then, could also be lurking in the dark waiting for his chance to pounce.

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Don\'t worry. I know what to do. The Six Divine Generals and Little Nine may accompany me to the battlefield, but the other Martial Emperors will have to remain at the astronomical continent to supervise the battle. The result of the battle between the military troops will influence the outcome of the ultimate Emperor battle."

Everyone had no choice but to obey his command.

However, Old Fish said with a smile, "Why don\'t you bring me along? I have a feeling that I\'ll be able to help you."

Ye Qingyu was moved by his words and finally nodded in agreement.

A bright flash of splendor enveloped the Six Divine Generals, Little Nine, Old Fish, and Ye Qingyu and brought them away from the astronomical continent.

At the same time, large-scale clashes finally broke out between the military troops on the astronomical continent.

...

...

They were in a vast and boundless space with no end in sight.

The loneliness and emptiness of this black void was a scene that would never change despite the passage of time.

There was a flash of splendor.

Ye Qingyu and the others appeared on the battlefield.

"Well, if it isn\'t the Imperial God Emperor. I\'ve been waiting for you for a long time." A cold, ancient voice rang out, and a long dragon made out of black and white chains of the power of laws ripped through the air, carrying with it a destructive power that could annihilate entire planets, as it made its way toward Ye Qingyu and the others.

It was none other than the Abandoned Fiendgod.

Ye Qingyu laughed loudly and raised his hand. Then, the [Cloud Top Cauldron] appeared on his palm and spun around. It unleashed a chaotic primordial light and transformed into a large bell that shrouded everyone around him. The long dragon formed from the black and white chains of the power of laws clashed and wrapped itself around the giant bell, but after several moments, it was sent flying backward.

"Stay here and watch the battle from this bell," Ye Qingyu said in a low voice.

Then, his figure flickered and he immediately left the protective shield of the [Cloud Top Cauldron].

"One should give as good as one gets," he said as his aura rapidly skyrocketed.

He raised his hand slightly, and immediately, eight ancient formation characters flickered in his hand before they transformed into layers of bagua divine light mirrors that circulated with a myriad of colorful rays of light that lit up large swathes of space. Then, with a flick of his wrist, boundless sword will contained within the bagua divine light mirror shot out like a tempest toward the monochromatic divine dragon.

Every ray of sword will tempest was like an apocalyptic ray of light.

Ye Qingyu had already managed to merge his varied and abundant cultivations into one entity and could unleash a powerful martial force that uniquely belonged to him. His powerful martial force had built upon the basics of the one hundred eight ancient characters mysterious technique and the Life Sword sword will, and it was also a true King of Sovereigns technique. This was way more powerful than any ordinary Emperor technique.

The void of the universe seemed to be slashed into pieces almost instantly.

The Abandoned Fiendgod\'s figure appeared in the distance.

Multiple black and white, long, divine dragon whips danced and swirled around him. His aura had soared significantly compared to the projection that had shown up at the Great Wall of the Dark Realm. He was so powerful that it seemed like he had gathered all the tides of strength in the entire universe to himself.

Abundant sword will shot toward the Abandoned Fiendgod\'s figure, but they all stopped one thousand meters ahead of him, as though the raging tempest had hit an invisible wall that they couldn\'t get past.

"Kill!" the Abandoned Fiendgod said with a soft shout and immediately unleashed his fatal move.

There was no need to probe any further nor exchange any more words. Their grudges and enmity had boiled and festered for several thousand centuries, so the only way to end this would be to kill their opponent. This battle would ultimately be decided by their power.

He reached out and grabbed the long, black and white whips, then he flipped his hand around and wrapped the whips around a desolate star that was several million kilometers away. His King of Sovereigns power exploded from him and instantly turned this planet into a giant hammer that was full of destructive power. He pulled on the long, black and white whips and dragged this giant hammer to Ye Qingyu in a matter of seconds.

Experts of this level were able to use planets as weapons.

Wen Wan and the others felt shivers run down their spines when they watched this scene from a distance.

Their strength had soared significantly since the Divine Light Court, and after breaking free of the reincarnation cycle that lasted several hundred lifetimes, the Divine Light Emperor\'s painstaking efforts in forcing them to go through the reincarnation cycles had paid off. They were just a whisker away from becoming Kings of Sovereigns themselves, and more importantly, after the essence of the ancient Earth\'s civilization had been promoted and absorbed by the Vast Thousand Star Domains, their perspective and worldview had also expanded significantly. As they learned about the changes in the universe and planets, they would also naturally understand the true significance of these planets. When they saw how the Abandoned Fiendgod managed to effortlessly turn a planet into a weapon, they felt as though his power had overturned their assumption of what being at the summit of the martial way was like.

They were extremely shocked and couldn\'t help worrying about Ye Qingyu\'s predicament.

However, their worries soon proved to be unfounded.

"[Slashing Planets with a Sword]."

Ye Qingyu pushed out his palms and a myriad of colors circulated like a compass within the bagua divine light mirror, and a ray of dazzling sword light exploded from it.

This sword light was not very large, it was only several hundred meters long. It shot out and slashed across the planet. Then, Wen Wan and the others watched in disbelief as a miraculous scene played out in front of them like a life-giving spring breeze and rain. The planet that gave off an apocalyptic force suddenly seemed to break apart soundlessly and turn into ashes, as though the powerful force it had exuded earlier had merely been a projection. It broke apart as easily as a bubble.

And even more mysteriously, the apocalyptic sword will that had destroyed the planet spread to the black and white whips. And these whips, which were linked together by the pure laws of the Great Dao, suddenly broke apart as well and dissipated in the air like burnt ashes in the wind.

"Nice move," the Abandoned Fiendgod said as his expression turned serious.

"You\'re much stronger than the Divine Light Emperor had been," he said as he approached Ye Qingyu.

The long, black and white whips formed from the chains of laws reached into the endless void of space like countless black and white tentacles, and when they returned, they each held a desolate planet in their grip. Strange black and white energy waves circulated around them as they refined these giant planets until these planets contained the five elemental forces of the universe along with some kind of shapeless energy. Then, these planets were sent hurtling toward Ye Qingyu.

These black and white tentacles circled around the planets and formed a mysterious formation that had the power to annihilate the starry skies. In addition to primordial power, each move contained an abundant and vast destructive force that drew its power from the depths of the void of the universe. These planets shot like surging waves at Ye Qingyu and completely surrounded him.

"Nice!"

A strong will to battle blazed in Ye Qingyu\'s eyes.

His dark hair danced in the wind, his whole body flickered with dazzling divine light, and out from his eyes shot two rays of divine sword will, which made him look like a divine king who had walked out from ancient times.

This was the first time he was facing off against a true King of Sovereigns.

The Abandoned Fiendgod was so powerful that it was unheard of in both past and present—his strength was absolutely terrifying.

These planets had yet to fully encircle Ye Qingyu, but the apocalyptic and destructive force they exuded was enough to instantly turn fiendgods and King of Sovereigns into dust.

The [Cloud Top Cauldron] gave off loud booming sounds as it continued to protect Wen Wan, Gao Diping, Little Nine, and the others within it.

"All swords shall return to their origins... [Slashing Planets with a Sword]!"

Ye Qingyu\'s combat strength soared to its maximum level, then a series of tiger growls, dragon roars, and phoenix cries could vaguely be heard emitting from his body. He had already mastered the power of dragons and phoenixes even before he became Emperor. And when he exerted this power now, the primordial power from the [True Will of the Sky Dragon] and the blood of the ancient True Phoenix were activated, and the one hundred eight ancient characters transformed into dazzling bright light. It seemed like one hundred and eight planets were circling around him. The Life Sword sword will exploded from him and he reached into the void with both hands. Then the point of a sharp sword that was several thousand meters long slowly appeared from the bagua divine light mirror, giving off layers of multi-colored light.

The sword body appeared after the point of the sword.

Then, the handle appeared.

This was a dazzling Life Sword several tens of meters tall that appeared inch by inch from the bagua divine light mirror.

Ye Qingyu had started later than the Abandoned Fiendgod, but it seemed like there was a vast gap between the two of them. After he slowly pulled out the Life Sword from the bagua divine light mirror, the planets that had been one thousand kilometers away from him were now nine hundred ninety-nine kilometers away.

This distance of nine hundred ninety-nine kilometers was like a heavenly punishment.

Ye Qingyu held the sword with both hands and slashed out.

Boom!

The scene from earlier played out again, and all these planets, all the power that had been activated by the depths of the universe, and all the black and white tentacles formed from the power of laws completely vanished, as though boiling water had been poured over snow. It seemed as though these majestic planets had merely been a mirage.

"How have you managed to become so powerful?" the Abandoned Fiendgod asked in shock.

Evidently, Ye Qingyu was a lot more powerful than he had expected after the initial probing attacks.

"It\'s time to put an end to these petty probing tricks," Ye Qingyu said as he stood on the Life Sword.

His black hair danced in the wind as he stood majestically in the void, and his figure was tall and burly, giving off multi-colored divine light that shone deep into the boundless sky. He looked like the original fiendgods who had once ruled over the universe. His voice echoed like Dao sounds and heavenly thunder that could be heard throughout the universe as he said, "Abandoned Fiendgod, you\'re no longer my match. Tell the rest of the Kings of Sovereigns to show themselves and stop wasting my time!"

The Abandoned Fiendgod\'s face turned pale.

He had absolute confidence in his own abilities, but he also knew that it would be very hard for him to single-handedly kill this King of Sovereigns of the Vast Thousand Star Domains. Even if he managed to slay Ye Qingyu, he would also end up sustaining serious injuries and this would only benefit those who were lurking in the dark waiting for their chance.

"I have ended up nurturing a tiger in enemy territory when I failed to destroy the Vast Thousand Star Domains back in those days," the Abandoned Fiendgod said.

He was starting to regret his decisions. Although the destiny contained in the Vast Thousand Star Domains was very enticing, Ye Qingyu posed an even greater threat to him. If he had known that such a powerful figure would emerge from the Vast Thousand Star Domains one day, he would have chosen to completely annihilate the Vast Thousand Star Domains. It was too late for regrets now.

Fortunately, everything was still within his control.

"Since you\'re so confident, King of Destruction, please step onto the battlefield," the Abandoned Fiendgod turned around and said. Although he was extremely enraged, he would not stubbornly choose to face Ye Qingyu head-on.

As soon as he spoke—

A space portal appeared in the distance.

A terrifying murderous, violent, and destructive aura spilled out from this space portal.
