“I will kill you!”

In the cavern hall, the Water Emperor was utterly enraged. She struck a fierce palm toward Ao Wushuang, intending to obliterate him.

This blow was fueled by fury, fully unleashing the Great Emperor’s aura. Beneath the level of a Great Emperor, no one could withstand it.

“I’m done for!”

Ao Wushuang hurriedly shouted:

“Don’t kill me… I can ignite this lamp!”

The Water Emperor’s slender jade-like hand was already resting on Ao Wushuang’s forehead. Hearing these words, she abruptly paused.

Her beautiful eyes locked onto Ao Wushuang as she coldly asked:

“What did you say?”

Ao Wushuang’s heart was frantic, but he could only muster his courage at this point and said:

“This lamp… I can ignite it!”

The Water Emperor scrutinized Ao Wushuang closely, her gaze seemingly peeling him apart layer by layer. After a moment of thought, she finally said:

“If you dare deceive me, I will make you suffer in ways worse than death!”

With that, she handed the lamp to Ao Wushuang.

The main issue was that the black firewood had already been devoured by this guy…

She had no choice but to let him give it a try.

Moreover, with a single glance, the Water Emperor saw that Ao Wushuang’s realm was merely the Breath Soil Realm, posing no threat to her. Everything was under her control, and she wasn’t afraid of any tricks from him.

Ao Wushuang hesitated as he nervously reached out to take the lamp.

But as soon as the lamp entered his hands, Ao Wushuang’s mind suddenly went blank.

In that moment, his entire body stiffened, and a Daoist Scenery emerged on its own.

“How is this possible? Within his Daoist Scenery… there’s such a concentration of the Dark Academy?!”

The Water Emperor was stunned. She had never seen a Daoist Scenery like Ao Wushuang’s!

Black mist swirled incessantly, shrouding the entire Daoist Scenery in oppressive darkness…

Even those Dark Disciples she had painstakingly sought out couldn’t achieve such a degree.

At this moment, the lamp suddenly vanished from Ao Wushuang’s hand and drifted straight into his Daoist Scenery.

The Water Emperor was even more shocked. What was going on? That was the Lamp of Origin! How could it voluntarily enter someone else’s Daoist Scenery?!

“Stop! Return it!”

She stepped forward, directly entering Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery, intent on reclaiming the lamp.

However, as soon as she entered, she sensed something terribly wrong. Whirling around, she was greeted by the shocking sight of a thunderbird soaring into existence, its powerful Lei Ting illuminating the realm of the Origin of Darkness as it struck toward the Water Emperor!

Seeing this, the Water Emperor was utterly astonished and exclaimed:

“Thunder Emperor?!” S~eaʀᴄh the nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Why are you here?!”

In Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery, the Thunder Emperor had indeed made his move.

At that moment, the Thunder Emperor revealed his true form and bellowed:

“Water Emperor, you made my Lei Ting collapse, reducing me to this pathetic state… and you dare question me?!”

His eyes were filled with unrestrained rage.

The Water Emperor’s mind raced as she suddenly realized something. She coldly said:

“I get it now. This guy… is your Dark Disciple… You’ve parasitized him!”

“You, a parasite in a mere Dark Disciple, dare not hide away and instead come out seeking death… Don’t blame me for forgetting old ties!”

“I’ll kill you both together!”

At that moment, she unleashed her Waterway Supernatural Powers. The Great Emperor’s aura surged, creating extraordinary phenomena everywhere!

Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery transformed into an ocean, with towering waves and massive icebergs floating across its surface. Endless storms constructed a colossal emperor’s throne upon which the Water Emperor sat, her long, snowy-white legs crossed, radiating the full majesty of a female Great Emperor!

“Thunder Emperor, you’ve lost your Heavenly Heart Seal and no longer wield the power of the Great Emperor. What will you use to fight me?”

High above, the Water Emperor raised her hand, stirring turbulent winds and icy forces. Cold energy spanned millions of li, forming sky-breaking ice shards that descended to suppress the soaring thunderbird.

The Thunder Emperor unleashed all his skills, but without the Great Emperor’s fruit and having already died once, his strength was severely diminished. Frost covered his feathered wings, ice spread across his bird-body, and he was on the verge of freezing solid!

“No… Master, save me!”

Sensing imminent doom, the Thunder Emperor turned and fled, flying away from the treacherous oceanic phenomena to reappear in Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery.

“Do you think you can escape…?”

The Water Emperor spoke coldly, her voice sharp and icy as she commanded:

“Overflowing Waters Drowning Mountains!”

In that instant, the oceanic waters within Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery boiled over. The Water Emperor’s source water spread across Ao Wushuang’s path-lined lands, engulfing the endless terrain.

“Oh, crap… Divine Jumper, are you just going to watch?!”

The Thunder Emperor shouted in alarm.

At this rate, the Water Emperor would take over Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery completely.

But at that moment, an aged voice spoke leisurely:

“Why are you panicking? In this guy’s Daoist Scenery, even a random thing could suppress that little white snake. Do I really need to intervene?”

No sooner had the voice trailed off—

Suddenly, thick black mist within Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery dissipated, revealing five enormous statues looming in the depths, along with a black small tower floating among them.

The Lamp of Origin now rested before the black small tower.

The black small tower trembled softly.

Buzz!

A single ripple from the tower sent an unparalleled force surging throughout Ao Wushuang’s Daoist Scenery.

“What power is this…”

At that moment, the Thunder Emperor instinctively shut his eyes, unable to look directly at it.

“Ah—!”

The Water Emperor let out a pained cry as she fell from her throne, transforming into a large, pale serpent. Her body curled up and crashed into the water!

Her Overflowing Waters Drowning Mountains supernatural power quickly dissipated as massive quantities of water evaporated into nothingness.

The faintest reverberation of the black small tower’s aura directly suppressed the Water Emperor. Even the Thunder Emperor trembled like a frightened goose, petrified and immovable!

Only the Divine Jumper remained intently watching the black small tower. There, he saw the second layer of the black small tower opening, from which strode out a young man of earth-shaking dominance, unrivaled through eternal ages, his face impassive.

The youth stood atop the lampstand of the Lamp of Origin as its seal fully unraveled, releasing a surge of black flames that immediately obscured his visage!

“A body as the wick… a corpse as the kindling…”

Divine Jumper murmured softly, his eyes carrying a trace of sorrow, as an almost imperceptible mist gathered within them. A hint of grief surfaced as he whispered:

“In the end, I’m just a failure. I couldn’t help you when it mattered back then, and now I can only watch you take this step…”

He lifted his gaze, closing his eyes. On his weathered face, an unprecedented dignity and solemnity emerged, as though mourning the passing of an existence beyond comprehension.

…

Simultaneously.

At the very center of the Waterway Imperial Court, atop Sky Island.

“Ah…”

“Stop hitting me…”

The Dark War Emperor was howling in agony.

Once again, he was enduring the torment of being flayed and dismembered.

He had now evolved into a Quasi-Emperor.

At this level, every inch of his body was valuable, so Long Zixuan was in the process of dismantling him piece by piece!

“Tsk, this time the ox tendon is much better than the last one. Toss the previous one away. Give this Quasi-Emperor-level piece to Da Hei, or it’ll complain that we’re mistreating it.”

Long Zixuan spoke, cutting down the Dark Emperor’s war whip.

“Nooooo—!”

The Dark War Emperor let out a miserable scream before perishing.

They had gathered a massive amount of beef by now, enough to fill the Kunpeng’s pot entirely with meat.

It was almost too much to eat at this point.

“Excessive… So much meat, and we can’t finish it. What a waste…”

Dugu Yuqing sighed and said:

“Take it back with you and share it with your clan.”

He looked toward Shui Qingling as he spoke.

Shui Qingling, who was in the middle of eating, became visibly thrilled upon hearing this.

This was, after all, the Dark War Emperor’s flesh—purified by the Vermilion Bird Flame—a top-tier spiritual delicacy.

“Thank you!”

She expressed her gratitude.

“Wait a moment!”

Long Zixuan abruptly turned his head, staring in a certain direction. He said sternly:

“The Lamp of Origin!”

Dugu Yuqing also set down his food, contemplating as he said:

“It seems… it has been ignited. And… it’s black fire?”

At that moment—

Boom!

Suddenly, the Dark War Emperor reappeared amidst the seven Array Flags.

This time, it was his true body!

He had now cycled through every level beneath that of a Great Emperor…

All defeated!

“I will kill you all… obliterate all of you!”

The Dark War Emperor’s face was pale, his fury boundless as he brandished an uncontrollable anger!

With a sweep of his hand, he took back the seven Array Flags.

… He no longer intended to battle Long Zixuan fairly.

Primarily because only his Great Emperor form remained unbeaten… Should he lose again at the Great Emperor level and be slain by Long Zixuan, he would truly be utterly annihilated!

With his Great Emperor form intact, he could still restore his defeated forms of days past. But if his Great Emperor form were also vanquished, he would face death across all levels, withering completely!

Additionally, deep within his heart… he no longer desired to fight.

Every form of his had been defeated, and even worse, devoured by Long Zixuan and his group… This planted a seed of terror within him.

The Great Emperor form… was his last unbroken threshold.

If he didn’t fight, he wouldn’t lose. If defeated at the Great Emperor level as well, his Daoist resolve might shatter entirely…

“As long as I kill you all… I’ll still be invincible!”

Behind him, his Daoist Scenery suddenly activated, expanding outward!

A world of darkness!

It instantly enveloped Long Zixuan, Dugu Yuqing, and the others.

Despite their unparalleled talent and immense strength, facing a Great Emperor’s overwhelming might left Long Zixuan, Dugu Yuqing, and the Kunpeng utterly powerless!

Using his Daoist Scenery to seal them, the Dark War Emperor refrained from striking immediately.

After the preceding battles, he had acutely sensed that Long Zixuan, Dugu Yuqing, and the others harbored deep, unfathomable secrets, potentially linked to the Prehistoric Immortal Path, the Saint Path, and other ancient civilizations!

He intended to capture them, interrogate them thoroughly, and only then eliminate them.

Turning away, he directed his gaze toward a distant location.

Originating from the Dark Firmament, he, of course, also felt it…

The presence of the Flame of Darkness!

Taking a step forward, he headed toward the isolated island in the void.
