Chapter 572 - 571: Control!

Chapter 572: Chapter 571: Control!

No one expected the two Great Emperors to suddenly turn traitor and begin frantically slaughtering their own men. They showed no mercy whatsoever, each of their moves an absolute killing blow.

BOOM! A huge swath of Cultivators were slain, their screams echoing endlessly. When experts of the Spirit King Stage attacked, how could they possibly be weak?

Explosions rang out nonstop, and it seemed as if vast swathes of the ground were being torn up. The power of the Spirit King Stage was on full display.

No one could process what was happening; they were all stunned by the sudden turn of events. If Emperor Xiao and his men had attacked Yi Tianyun, no one would have been surprised. They could have attacked whenever they pleased, without needing to wait for the other two Great Empires to arrive.

But who would have thought they would turn on their own subordinates? Every move was a killing blow—it was unbelievable! They slaughtered their men as if avenging their own fathers, showing no mercy at all.

"Wh-what in the world is going on? What happened to Emperor Xiao and the others?"

"Who cares what’s wrong with them? Just run!"

"They’ve gone insane, completely insane! What are they doing!?"

The Cultivators from the two Great Empires fell back, turning tail to flee. But how could their speed possibly match that of Spirit King Stage experts? They were cut down with ease.

The two of them had transformed into homicidal maniacs, carving a bloody path wherever they went.

The people of the Celestial Dragon Imperial City were also dumbfounded. No one knew what was going on. The two Great Emperors suddenly turning on their own forces left them completely baffled.

"Could it be... Could Emperor Xiao and the others be agents of the Celestial Dragon Empire?"

"Impossible. If they were with the Celestial Dragon Empire, why would they invade? Wouldn’t it have been easier to just form an alliance?"

"What in the world is going on?"

No one knew what had happened. They could only watch as Emperor Xiao and the other Great Emperor went on a killing spree. Although they were delighted to witness such a scene, no one had a clue why it was happening.

"Stop, stop! I... I can’t control myself!"

"Get away from me, get away! My body isn’t under my own control!"

Their shouts left many of the Cultivators baffled. ’What do they mean, they can’t control themselves? They’re Spirit King Stage experts, and they can’t control their own bodies? Are they joking?’

Of course, it wasn’t a joke. Both of them had instantly fallen prey to Yi Tianyun’s Eye of Enchantment. He controlled them both without the slightest difficulty. The Eye of Enchantment could control anyone at the fifth layer of the Spirit King Stage or below. Emperor Xiao was merely at the second layer of the Spirit King Stage, and as for Emperor Zhuge, he was only at the first—even more pathetic.

He had controlled them with ease; a single glance was all it took. Under normal circumstances, no one would ever believe they could be controlled just by meeting someone’s gaze.

And that was exactly what had happened. Not only were they easily controlled, but their consciousness was left intact. Yi Tianyun hadn’t taken full control of their minds. Instead, he had left their awareness free, forcing them to watch, fully conscious of their actions but powerless to stop, as they plunged into their own armies and frantically slaughtered their own men.

Fortunately, he was still gaining experience from this. ’Otherwise,’ he thought, ’I really wouldn’t bother with this. I’d just kill them and be done with it.’

He had used this same method to deal with the previous two Great Empires. By controlling their Spirit King Stage or even Void Spirit Stage experts, the battle was over before it had even begun.

Once their strongest fighters were controlled and turned against them, the rest were nothing but Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, possessing no real Combat Power.

"Emperor Xiao, what’s happening to you!?"

Many of the Grand Generals fell back, their faces grim and their hearts bleeding. In the blink of an eye, many of their powerful experts had been slain. Those at the Void Spirit Stage were slightly faster and managed to flee the immediate area.

"We don’t know what’s going on! We’re being controlled! It has to be that brat—it’s his Demon Technique!" Emperor Xiao roared. "Kill him! Kill him now!"

When Emperor Xiao and the other shouted this, everyone else was dumbstruck. Two Great Emperors, controlled by some kid? What kind of Demon Technique could possibly achieve that?

However, a few Grand Generals reacted quickly. Without hesitation, they charged toward Yi Tianyun, unleashing their full power. They transformed into sharp glints of light, streaking forward with the intent to obliterate him and free their Great Emperors.

Yi Tianyun sneered. With a wave of his hand, the figures of Emperor Xiao and Emperor Zhuge flickered and instantly appeared before the charging Grand Generals. Before the Grand Generals’ horrified eyes, the two emperors viciously swung their swords down.

In an instant, two Grand Generals were sliced in half. When a Void Spirit Stage expert faced a Spirit King Stage expert, the outcome was a foregone conclusion.

"Ding! Successfully killed a Void Spirit Stage expert. Gained 53,000,000 Experience, 13,000 Madness Value, and 800 Sin Value. Obtained Martial Arts..."

"Ding! Successfully killed a Void Spirit Stage expert..."

The experience points piled up crazily, instantly exceeding fifty-three million. The Madness Value also multiplied severalfold. This was all due to the Experience Card he had used. With so many Cultivators present—the bulk of two Empires’ forces—how could he possibly pass up this opportunity?

That was why, despite the high price of the Fiftyfold Experience Card, he had splurged on one to use. However, he only bought a single Fiftyfold Experience Card. The other types had been used too many times and had become far too expensive.

Even so, the amount of experience was astonishing, so there was no need to use any other Experience Cards. Unless everyone he was facing was at the Void Spirit Stage or higher, he wouldn’t spend a fortune buying more Experience Cards.

Cultivators below the Void Spirit Stage simply gave too little experience; that was the reason. If they were all at the Void Spirit Stage, or if the majority were Spirit King Stage experts, he would have spared no expense to buy and stack more Experience Cards.

In the blink of an eye, the two Spirit King Stage experts had slain those Grand Generals, shattering the courage of all who watched.

"You bastard! Brat, if you have any real guts, stop using your Demon Techniques and face us in an honorable duel!" Emperor Xiao’s face was ashen. His own Grand Generals were dead just like that, and he was filled with immense regret.

’I should have told them to stay back,’ he thought, but if they hadn’t tried to surround Yi Tianyun, there would have been no way to break this spell.

"An honorable duel? Am I not in one right now?" Yi Tianyun sneered. "Don’t you find your own words ridiculous? If our positions were reversed, would you stop? The Imperial Influence of four Empires ganging up on one, and you have the gall to talk about an ’honorable duel.’ You can be an idiot on your own time; don’t drag me into it."

Yi Tianyun’s words were like a heavy slap across their faces. If they were in his position, who among them would give up such an advantage? These were two Spirit King Stage experts. Controlling them had already decided the outcome of the battle.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you," Yi Tianyun said nonchalantly. "The Great Emperors of the other two Great Empires? They ended up just like you—controlled by me. They killed most of their own subordinates. You’re just doing the same thing all over again, so there’s no need to worry."

The reason he was so late was because he’d been busy leveling the other two Great Empires. He had controlled their Great Emperors and had them relentlessly crush their own forces. No one could stand in their way!
