Chapter 1032: Chapter 1024: The Power Behind
There are still two Great Realms in between!
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor were plunged into shock. They knew that the Daluo Dao Fruit also had three layers of Great Realms, and the mere realm of the Daluo Dao Fruit was already beyond their imagination. It was hard to conceive how terrifying an existence stronger by two entire Great Realms than the Daluo Dao Fruit would be.
“Roar—”
Just then, the mysterious enormous corpse emitted a deafening roar, distorting the cosmic space.
The Marshal of Heaven wielded his Divine Weapon, sweeping it horizontally, and the vast Celestial Dao Destiny gathered by tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals followed his lead, transforming into a majestic, boundless river of light that charged at the enormous corpse.
Within the river of light, various Powers of the Great Dao intertwined, with fiery flames surging, lightning interweaving, fierce winds raging, forming a devastating momentum, colliding unstoppably with the enormous corpse.
This river of Celestial Dao was already huge enough to completely submerge even the Great Thousand World. Yet, when it collided with the enormous corpse, it could only submerge its chest, revealing the exceedingly grand scale of the corpse.
The terrifying river of light imbued with the Destiny of the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army caused the entire Dark Void to tremble, a dense, twisted aurora appearing within as if the void was about to shatter at any moment.
Boom—
The enormous corpse roared furiously, waving its claws, forcibly dispersing the powerful river of light, with fierce winds sweeping towards the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army.
The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, already forming the Formation, mobilized their Mana to the maximum to maintain the Formation, yet even so, the Heavenly Array was almost unbearable, with the Celestial Dao Golden Light beneath them trembling incessantly.
The Marshal of Heaven had his Dharma Aspect at the frontline, gritting his teeth as he faced the greatest pressure.
Just a wave of the enormous corpse’s claw made him feel invincible, yet the Celestial Dao Venerable had not yet appeared, indicating Cangming lurked in the shadows, with both sides poised in waiting.
Both their celestial army and the enormous corpse ahead had become pawns, between them, the victor must be decided.
Unfortunately, some matters cannot be executed merely by will.
The glittering Divine Power Heavenly Array was abruptly dispersed, with tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals flung away, including Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor.
In the chaos, Gu An reached out to catch them, but he did not stop, instead drifting backward, aligning with the state of the celestial army.
With the Heavenly Array scattered, Heavenly Soldiers and Generals spread out instantly, stabilizing their figures, looking incredulously toward the enormous corpse, which broke their Formation with just a claw, truly terrifying.
The Marshal of Heaven too was forced back but swiftly rebounded, charging at the enormous corpse, needing to set an example and not let the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals lose heart.
Accompanied by two Black Qilins, he charged, leaping high, grasping the long spear with both hands, condensing all his Mana and Destiny onto the spear tip, the two Black Qilins similarly channeling their power onto the master’s spear tip.
In an instant, the Marshal of Heaven’s momentum reached its peak. As he charged, the space along his path shattered like a mirage, irresistibly.
With a roar, the Marshal of Heaven gripped the spear with both hands, thrusting it forward, the spear beam entwined with black jin qi erupting, its might no less than the previous Celestial Dao river of light.
Amidst the dim, twisted void, the spear beam shone brilliantly and oppressively, drawing all Heavenly Soldiers and Generals’ gazes, as it struck the enormous corpse’s forehead, its powerful force pressing the corpse backward.
This scene filled the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals with joy. Though distant from the enormous corpse, they could clearly see its expression.
The countenance of the enormous corpse grew fiercer, seemingly pained.
However, the next moment, the backward-bending figure of the enormous corpse suddenly leaned forward, spewing torrents of azure flames from its mouth, akin to an ocean, flooding the Marshal of Heaven before storming toward the void’s edge, along the way devouring those proximate Immortal Gods directly.
Witnessing the endless azure sea of flames, all Immortal Gods felt tremendous pressure.
“It’s a joke, isn’t it…”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor muttered fearfully as she gazed afar.
Lu Lingjun was likewise frightened; even from afar, the azure sea of flames made her shudder, instinctively sensing her annihilation would be inevitable if she touched the flames.
At that moment, the Heavenly Generals possessing Daluo Dao Fruits roared in fury, leading the charge personally.
Even though the enemy was unimaginably strong, the Tianhe First Demon-Vanquishing Army had to fight, either to win or perish in battle.
In an instant, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals descended upon the enormous corpse like a rain of arrows, diverging to encircle and attack from various directions, with Lu Lingjun disregarding fear to charge as well, while the White Spirit Demon Emperor revealed her Demon Body.
Though cowardly in words, her actions appeared fearless.
Gu An followed closely behind, fighting alongside Lu Lingjun and others.
The enormous corpse closed its mouth, dispersing the azure sea of flames. Seeing tens of thousands of Immortal Gods attacking, it seemed angered, roaring continuously, its body shaking violently as if bound by invisible chains, striving to break free.
The Immortal Gods demonstrated their Divine Skills, grand and imposing, yet upon the massive corpse seemed futile.
Magical Treasures rose one by one, flying to the enormous corpse, all expanding rapidly, attempting to suppress it with the Dao Light of the treasures, yet the corpse was unaffected, ceaselessly spewing flames in various directions, incinerating many Immortal Gods to ashes.
Within the sprawling Celestial Dao Golden Light in the Dark Void flew a figure, none other than the newly revived Marshal of Heaven, charging again at the enormous corpse.
A difficult and formidable battle was in full swing!
…
Amidst the dark red void, an enormous ancient tree was ceaselessly extending its branches, surrounded by starry whirlpools, which upon closer inspection were actually entire universes, each hiding endless stars and Little Worlds, yet around this tree appeared smaller than its leaves.
Upon a branch extending forward continuously stood a solitary figure.
It was the Extreme Nether Emperor!
Still donned in his Purple Robe, his whole being emitted a sinister and bizarre aura.
The dark red demon beast resting on his shoulder opened eyes akin to those of a fox, lifting its head to gaze afar, asking: “Master, what is the origin of that corpse? Will it truly not affect our plans?”
The Extreme Nether Emperor gazed ahead, expressionless, saying: “Its origin is ancient, yet it’s already dead, not worth mentioning. Though it does affect our plans, it might also offer assistance; what lies behind it is more worthy of our speculation.”
“What lies behind it?”
“Hmm, its Realm in life surpassed mine now. Who killed it, and who released it? Behind this must lurk more hidden hands, akin to the Emperor of Heaven Burial and Hongqian Ancestor. Chaos is more complicated than we anticipated.”
As he spoke, a subtle change flickered in Extreme Nether Emperor’s eyes.
