The astonishment of the two great Martial Emperors did not last for too long, because soon there was an uncontrollable killing intent surfacing in their heart. Their Martial Emperor original form produced a resounding roar as they charged toward the storm of chaos. They wanted to take advantage of the time when Ye Qingyu was in a seriously wounded state to kill him in one strike.
Swoosh!
They were so fast that in a split second they were already in the center of the storm of chaos.
But at the same time, when they saw the scene in the storm of chaos, a look of shock twisted their face. Ye Qingyu was not severely wounded by the two great killing formations as they had thought. In this moment, the surface of Ye Qingyu's body was shrouded in faint azure light as his body curled up in a fetal position. At first glance, he looked more like a huge statue. In particular, the pale azure light had fully enveloped his body, protecting him from any attacks. Adding to this, he seemed to be absorbing the power of the chaotic storm and the two great killing formations. It was unknown how many times more powerful the aura his body exuded was than before. Even the two great Martial Emperors couldn't help shuddering with fear.
"Not good..."
"This is... an Emperor technique?"
The uncontrollable killing intent the two great Martial Emperor had instantly melted like ice.
Although it was unknown what sort of mysterious Emperor technique Ye Qingyu was using, but an extremely dangerous warning sign made the two great Martial Emperors chose to retreat right away.
However, it was easy to come but difficult to leave.
When they wanted to leave, they found that the whole area of the chaos storm had become like a vacuum swamp. The law of chaos and the power of order, like vines, were entangling their bodies, making them feel like a snail caught in a swamp. They were struggling with great difficulty and unable to free themselves.
All of a sudden, the shock in the two people's heart was even fiercer than before.
That was when——
Ye Qingyu, who was curled up in the center of the chaos storm, suddenly snapped open his eyes. Even within his eyes was a mysterious azure brilliance flashing. The light of his eyes, like two divine swords, instantly punctured through the chaos storm circle. The moment he stretched his body, the whole area of chaos storm, even the faint layer of azure light around his body, like a hurricane, instantly spread out.
Boom!
Since the beginning of the Emperor battle, this was one of the most frightening rumble of Dao sounds.
An extremely terrifyingly unbelievable power of destruction broke out with Ye Qingyu as the center.
The two great Martial Emperors could only feel the power that caused their palpitations like a raging wave engulfed them from behind, They screamed out almost in unison, activated all defenses and weapons with all their strength, and then their body was seen submerged by this power of destruction.
Terrifying waves of radiation swept through the entire starry battlefield.
This force was more terrifying than any blow made by the previous three Martial Emperors.
The chaos storm had almost destroyed everything.
The [Cloud Top Cauldron] glowed a red and gold brilliance, while the inscription on its surface detached from its body, and like a golden ancient formation chain, twisted around the entire [Cloud Top Cauldron] like a protective barrier. There were continuously golden light rippling out that protected Song Xiaojun and the true ancient Phoenix. It was also fortunate that they were far from the center of the battlefield, and thus did not have to endure this force head-on.
In this moment, whether it was Song Xiaojun or the ancient Phoenix, neither was able to clearly feel the profound and incredible meaning of the law. Especially since the two great Martial Emperors had hastily and almost unreservedly released out their strongest Emperor power. It was as though the usual fog had scattered, revealing the true nature.
The clearness and brightness in the eyes of the ancient Phoenix was becoming more and more clear.
Her consciousness was recovering little by little.
And the fire of the True Phoenix on her was also disappearing a little at a time, as though integrating with her body.
Song Xiaojun did not notice this much——or maybe it was that she did not pay any attention to the ancient Phoenix behind her.
All the attention and mind of the Emperor of Darkness was fixed on the sword-wielding figure in the center of the storm of chaos. It was only when she saw that Ye Qingyu had come out of the chaos storm unscathed, like a fiendgod, instantly reappeared before Sovereign Dark Feather, and slashed out the [Blood Drinker Sword] to sever a huge Dapeng head that she breathed a sigh of relief. Even she was unaware that her back was already soaked in cold sweat!
"Ah..." The tragic scream of Sovereign Dark Feather echoed and resounded throughout the starry battlefield.
One of his great Dapeng heads had been chopped down, blood gushing out and drowning a side of the starry sky like an ocean. His Martial Emperor original form had been wounded. For any Martial Emperor, this was a very critical injury, which cannot be restored with just by burning qi and life yuan. It was equivalent to the result of the Emperor way being severed, and will lead to a fall in cultivation base.
Sovereign Dark Feather was in severe pain and anger.
He had already sustained injuries during the previous bizarre chaos storm. His black wings were damaged and his pale skin was exposed, but in comparison, those were only minor injuries. His broken head was the real serious damage to his yuan qi.
"With my sword, drink his blood... kill!"
Ye Qingyu had occupied the upper hand and did not show mercy. The [Blood Drinker Sword] in his hand flashed, instantly swallowing up the ocean-like blood in the sky. He then went on to activate the [Limitless Divine Way]. His strength instantly surged to the [Third Limit] of the [Limitless Divine Way] and launched out another sword strike.
This sword was even more terrifying than the previous sword strike.
Within the [Blood Drinker Sword], the blood and qi of the black-winged nine-headed Dapeng also transformed into a vast power of destruction. With the assistance of the [Life Sword Mantra] sword will, the [Blood Drinker Sword] was once again flickering with blood-coloured brilliance, like flashes of lightning. The next moment, another head of Sovereign Dark Feather was directly slashed off again.
"Ah... Die!"
Sovereign Dark Feather let out an anguished scream, as his wings shook rapidly. His tens of millions of black feathers turned into swords of black lightning, and like a surging tide, slammed down at Ye Qingyu's head. At the same time, his body quickly drew back, frantically opening the distance between them.
"[Storm of Swords]!"
Ye Qingyu did not give chase. One should not pursue a cornered enemy. Instead his Emperor-level swordsmanship was put to use.
Countless images of the [Blood Drinker Sword] spread out like a peacock's tail next to him, rotating rapidly. The friction between the blades produced sputtering sparks and endless Dao sounds, before they were released and collided with the endless black feather lightning swords.
Another chaos storm permeated the starry sky where the blades and swords collided.
The whole process was like a flash of lightning, so fast that nobody could react.
"How could this happen?"
Sovereign Skyreach stood there aghast. He was covered in blood, and even forgot to attack Ye Qingyu.
His present state was equally very bad. His dazzlingly bright golden fur had faded to a pale colour, among the six wings there were two that had been scarred, his bones were broken, and he had two missing fangs. He was not injured lightly at all during the chaos storm.
What is going on here?
Sovereign Skyreach couldn't believe what he saw.
He and Sovereign Dark Feather were experienced Martial Emperors, who can be said to have been restored to their former peak state. Moreover, they had already joined hands and counterattacked with Emperor killing moves and techniques together. However, not only were they unable to wound Ye Qingyu, but instead they had sustained critical injuries. He could not accept this result at all.
At that moment, he vaguely felt that what Ye Qingyu used was a kind of strength-borrowing Emperor technique, which absorbed and counterattacked his Emperor killing move. However, the problem was that these were two great Emperor killing moves. What kind of strength-borrowing secret technique could absorb and counter such power?
This kid who comes from the Vast Thousand Domains really had too many hidden cards and secrets.
In this moment, there was already a glimmer of intent to retreat in Sovereign Skyreach's heart. In truth, if he had a choice, he really did not want to die in the hands of such an opponent, especially since he had endured for so many years and was at the critical moment when the ultimate goal would soon appear.
But can he retreat?
He obviously could not.
Because from the beginning till now, it wasn't up to him to decide.
It also wasn't up to Sovereign Dark Feather.
But...
Sovereign Skyreach gritted his teeth.
At this time, Sovereign Dark Feather incredibly came to the side of Sovereign Skyreach. On every head of the remaining seven heads, his eyes were flashing with uncontrollable anger and similarly uncontrollable fear."What do we do?"
Yes, even in such an aggravating situation, he had asked 'what to do' instead of acting tough and saying words such as 'kill him together'.
Perhaps because this Heaven's prideling expert, who had once dominated an era, also felt a sense of weakness. Unconsciously, he had already been thinking that it was very likely that even if the two great Emperors were to join hands they still could not do anything to Ye Qingyu.
Like Sovereign Skyreach, Sovereign Dark Feather also wanted to retreat.
But he knew better than Sovereign Skyreach that there was no way to turn back now.
"Is this the strength of the sovereigns hidden in the dark?" Clasping his sword, Ye Qingyu, tread across the void, slowly forcing his way over to the two great Martial Emperors. He shook his head and remarked with a look of disappointment and regret, "Aren't you aware? The reason why you are wounded is not because I am too strong, but because you have grown——weaker——"
The last two words roared like the law of the Dao.
Sovereign Skyreach and Sovereign Dark Feather both all of a sudden became incredibly embarrassed.
They were infuriated, but still hesitant.
"Look, you don't even have the courage to attack... Haha, pitiful, the Martial Emperors who dominated the world before have now lost the spirit they had in the past. For a long period of time, you were like dark ghosts who could not see the light, like a skinny and hungry bear that has to hibernate to survive, shivering for the ultimate purpose, and lacking the real pride of martial artists. You despise everything in the present world, and that's only because it is what you lack." Ye Qingyu's pace was slow, but his footsteps were like a thunder hammer. His every word pounded the chest of the two great Martial Emperors to the point they were shuddering with fear.
"Nonsense!" Sovereign Skyreach finally was no longer able to contain the fury in his heart, "Even if you win against us, you are doomed to die today, you..."
Before his voice faded, Sovereign Dark Feather turned into a stream of black light, charging towards Ye Qingyu.
He seemed to have gone berserk.
