Chapter 2573 - 2538: Nine-leaf Sword Emperor

The Emperor Crown of this era adorns the majestic being above the Nine Heavens.

His name spreads across the Endless Starry Sky, etched in the timeline of eternal ages, deeply remembered by the Heavenly Dao; no matter how long he’s absent, when he reappears, the Heavenly Dao remembers his name.

The Endless Starry Sky trembles incessantly because of a name, causing storms in the Time River.

This contemporary Forbidden Zone Emperor is named,

Huang Gu!

Emperor Huang Gu!

This majestic being stands tall within the Nine Heavens, gazing at the Endless Starry Sky, looking towards the Beidou Forbidden Land, staring, thinking of something unknown.

"Greetings!"

"We pay our respects to Emperor Huang Gu!"

"Greetings to Emperor Huang Gu!"

Sounds of obeisance echo from all corners of the Endless Starry Sky, filled with infinite adoration and excitement, wishing to prostrate entirely to the ground.

At this moment, the Human Race, Phoenix Immortal Clan, True Dragon Immortal Clan, Golden Crow Immortal Clan, Taotie Immortal Clan, Green Bull Immortal Clan... all races submit to this contemporary Emperor, with no dissenters; the era’s most brilliant Emperor has emerged, marking the end of history filled with bright elites during the Golden Era.

All in the Endless Starry Sky prostrate at the feet of this contemporary Forbidden Zone Emperor.

Yet, Emperor Huang Gu Ye Huang is indifferent to the masses’ prostration and loyalty, merely casting a detached, terrifying gaze towards directions like the Beidou Forbidden Land and Yuanhai Forbidden Area, places without clear inhabitants, apart from his father, with no exact records, where all beings entering the forbidden zones have perished.

What is this?

This is a warning from this contemporary Forbidden Zone Emperor!

This is his unique Endless Starry Sky, his world; all decaying and foul things that chose to cower in dark corners, abandoning their pride, consuming the blood and Divine Souls of countless beings, and triggering dark turmoil time and again should accept their destiny as gutter rats.

Gutter rats do not belong under the sunlight, this is inconsistent with the Heavenly Dao.

"A bunch of ants..."

Emperor Huang Gu whispers.

This Forbidden Zone Emperor, with disdain for the ancients, regards numerous Ancient Emperors as decaying rats; confident in his invincibility, capable of subduing any defiant beings.

This undisguised contempt, extreme confidence, envelops the Endless Starry Sky.

And the Emperors remain silent.

For a long, long time, there is no response.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, Emperor Huang Gu bursts into laughter, shaking the Star River.

...

Great Sun Forbidden Area.

"Gutter rat?"

"A fitting term."

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor ruminates: "Such fresh saplings are the young life, the young Forbidden Zone Emperor... yet, I cannot win."

The blazing Great Japanese Ability burns, the intent to kill surges like waves.

And the Sword Soul, with a cold murmur, informs the Sword Cultivator of the outcome; he cannot defeat a contemporary Forbidden Zone Emperor with a Dao Crown.

Moreover, this is the son of an old friend, causing slight hesitation in his heart.

The rampant laughter of Emperor Huang Gu reverberates between heaven and earth.

The Emperor’s Shackles faded with the birth of this era’s Emperor, yet none dares to appear, allowing this invincible Emperor of the present to suppress the realms with glorious majesty.

However, this scenario would not last long.

Clang!

Suddenly, a sword chime rings through the heavens and earth!

This particular sword chime, with such penetrating power, pierces through the Endless Starry Sky, the Nine Heavens, and the majestic laughter of Emperor Huang Gu in its initial moment, ripping open a crack amidst the overwhelming Chaos Dao pressure, directly reaching the Divine Soul of Emperor Huang Gu.

Causing Emperor Huang Gu to feel a distinct chill.

"Oh?"

"Sword Dao?"

Emperor Huang Gu looks in that direction.

Clang!

Clang clang clang...

The sound of the sword’s wail, like a tide, spreads from a singularity to all corners of the world!

At this moment, everyone in the Endless Starry Sky involuntarily looks towards that direction, and whether they see it or not, a scene forcibly emerges in their minds.

Above the Yuanhai Forbidden Area, in the infinite sound of Sword Dao, a verdant singularity slowly expands, first into a small grass blade, an ordinary sight, that in a blink forms an ocean of grass blades spanning multiple Star Domains, with each blade like a Heavenly Sword aiming straight at the sky.

A terrifyingly unfathomed Sword Intent arises in the Endless Starry Sky, piercing the essence of Divine Souls.

Amidst the grass shadows, a hazy silhouette emerges, strikingly beautiful yet strange, androgynous, similar to a Heavenly Man, as the first to resurrect amidst the Soul Path’s phantom in the present era.

Rumble!

The Heavenly Dao roars, and in an instant, recalls the existence of this being!

The Divine Soul Path trembles incessantly, instantly breaking free from the suppression of Emperor Huang Gu, casting infinite blessing and power upon the newly revived being, rapidly washing away the time imprint on their existence.

"Nine-leaf?"

"Nine-leaf Sword Emperor!"

The laughter of Emperor Huang Gu halts, and then transforms into even more reckless laughter: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha..."

"Come!"

"Nine-leaf, come and face death!"

"Hahaha..."

Boom!

Emperor Huang Gu acts with extreme decisive swiftness.

In the Three Thousand Great Paths’ support, he crosses the endless starry sky in one step, wielding a Big Halberd bearing the weight of the entire starry sky, surrounded by the Chaos Dao, advancing like a consuming black hole, to violently suppress the newly revived Nine-leaf Forbidden Zone.

"Kill."

The Nine-leaf Sword Emperor in the grass shadows smiles faintly.

In his hand, a blade of grass, seemingly just plucked from the ground, still with the fresh fragrance of vegetation, is casually thrown, transforming into an extremely sharp Soul Sword to slay the approaching Emperor Huang Gu.

Clang!

Clang clang...

With the lift of a single leaf, innumerable blades of grass soar across several Star Domains simultaneously.

The dense blades of grass fill the starry sky, forming scenes with each step, each being a killing array; countless grass blades create the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths Soul Slaying Demon Destruction Sword Formation, enveloping Emperor Huang Gu, where terrifyingly intense Soul Destruction Sword Intent blooms, eroding the foundational Dao aspect of Emperor Huang Gu from the essence layer.

However, just in an instant!

Rumble!

The immensity and endlessness of the grass blade sword formation are brutally shattered from the center, as a demonic shadow, wild as a Demon God, charges forward wielding a Big Halberd through the broken sword formation, crashing onto the Nine-leaf Forbidden Zone, scattering the Nine-leaf Forbidden Zone and Nine-leaf Sword Emperor into disarray, leaving the Forbidden Zone fragmented.

With just one strike!

The terror of a contemporary Forbidden Zone Emperor, astounding to such an extent!

In facing this terrifically demonic figure, the Nine-leaf Sword Emperor and the Nine-leaf Forbidden Zone reveal a terrifying resilience to an extreme level, though unable to match, retreating again and again, with zones collapsing one after another and himself continually spitting blood, yet his eyes burn ever brighter, brilliant as stars, leaving a profound impression.
