Chapter 1769: Chapter 1636: Quasi-Emperor Second Battle!
Outer Battlefield, a silent space, fragmented weapons, and giant bone shards float in outer space, exuding an ancient and weathered aura.
This place remains unchanged since ancient times, desolate and bleak, with only traces of the Emperor Battle lingering.
Elder Lin and Chang Hao waged a battle here, shattering countless passing asteroids and Yun Stones, filling this place with an aura of death.
The killing intent is intense; just now, a strong person of the Quasi-Emperor Realm fell here, adding a tragic bloodstain to this battlefield.
Wu Tian and the Sloppy Elder from the Treasure Pavilion arrived at the battlefield, facing each other coldly. This would be a peerless battle; both glanced into the depths of the vast universe without speaking further.
With a violent shout from Wu Tian, the Seven-story Pagoda fully revived, emitting beams of killing light, piercing the void, like Heavenly Swords formed from Heaven and Earth Tao Markings, shooting towards the Sloppy Elder.
Wu Tian, with a burly figure, was dressed in a silk Taoist robe, with a primitive pagoda above his head, radiating Immortal Light.
The Sloppy Elder’s expression was solemn. He knew the gap between himself and Wu Tian was significant, but for the Human Race’s fate and future, he had to risk it all.
The Heavenly Weapon slashed across ninety thousand miles, the aura of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor pervading the Outer Battlefield, dissolving all the killing light **** from the pagoda.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, a distant asteroid was unlucky enough to be directly cleaved in half by the killing light from the Heavenly Weapon, bursting open on the spot.
Among the Human Race, many looked at Ling Yunzhi with deep contempt. He was most suited to battle and could definitely defeat Wu Tian.
Yet—
He remained indifferent, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one present had the right to ask him anything.
Ling Yunzhi, having fully revived the Nine Heavens Mystic Crown, seemed like the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor reborn, dominating Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He was the direct descendant of the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor, with the purest Emperor Blood flowing in his veins, possessing terrifying strength, though his lifespan was dwindling, he was absolutely a formidable combat power for the Human Race.
But at the crucial moment, he chose to ignore, simply not taking action, utterly disgracing the Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor.
The famed Nine Heavens Xuan Emperor has great deeds for the entire Human Race, revered by Ten Thousand Clans, but can’t withstand such wastage.
Ye Fan was even more puzzled, Ling Yunzhi could absolutely defeat Wu Tian, why not battle?
Could there be some other hidden reason?
Facing the disdainful gazes of everyone, Ling Yunzhi remained unfazed, with a calm expression, silently focusing on the battle situation at the Outer Battlefield.
Everyone was helpless, having to temporarily set aside their contempt for Ling Yunzhi, turning their attention to the Outer Battlefield.
Wu Tian’s expression was cold, with eyes that seemed to flash with the sun, moon, and stars. His actions were ruthless, the primitive pagoda enlarged, suppressing Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The Sloppy Elder resisted with all his might, Divine Power roaring like a great river, the Heavenly Weapon fully revived, resembling the embodiment of the Emperor Sha, overpowering Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Clang!"
The Heavenly Weapon soared, its Immortal Light shining bright, casting auspicious rays in thousands, extreme Emperor’s Might ravaged the cosmos, directly slashing the pagoda.
"Boom!"
The collision between the Ancient Emperor Weapon and the Ancient Emperor Weapon shook the entire universe, annihilating everything, returning all to origin, a Transformation aura spread.
"Swipe!"
Both retreated simultaneously, even as powerful as they were, they dared not easily touch the Transformation aura, the most mysterious power between heaven and earth, for once touched, it might lead to involuntary Transformation, which was not the result they wanted.
"Wu Tian will win!"
"Humans are nothing but ants; in ancient times, the Demon Clan used the Human Race as Blood Food."
"Without the Great Emperor coming forth, our Demon Clan will sweep the cosmos and conquer the stars!"
Seeing Wu Tian seemingly gaining the upper hand, the pro-war faction among the Demon Clan started clamoring again, mercilessly mocking and hitting the confidence of the Human Race.
"Your Demon Clan is powerful, why have you been hiding in a corner of the Xuanwu Mountain for so many years and unable to emerge? And now you’re jumping out."
"That’s right, besides boasting about your ancestors’ deeds during ancient times, what else can your Demon Clan do?"
"Don’t forget, in the last great battle, how did you lose? Even without the Great Emperor, the Human Race cannot be bullied by your Demon Clan!"
Some hot-blooded cultivators of the Human Race retorted one after another, despite the victory not being decided, even if the Old Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion was defeated, it would still be tied one to one; the Human Race still had a chance.
The Human Race and Demon Clan, separated by the eight hundred-mile-wide River of Elements, hurled verbal attacks at each other, neither willing to fall behind.
On the ground, the Human and Demon Clans were noisy, while on the Outer Battlefield, the battle reached a fever pitch, both wielding powerful Emperor Weapons, for the moment, neither could prevail.
The pagoda vibrated, the entire cosmos trembling with it, countless fragmented weapons shattered into powder, even meteorites in the endless void couldn’t escape being fragmented.
The Sloppy Elder emitted Infinite Light, like a Great Emperor walking in the cosmos, his killing intent reached the nine realms, the Heavenly Weapon slashed horizontally and vertically, each cut splitting the void, forcing Wu Tian to defend with the pagoda.
However, savvy observers quickly noticed that he was close to his limit; now, he was making an all-out effort, hoping to defeat Wu Tian. If he couldn’t end the battle soon, he would be in jeopardy.
The Heavenly Weapon treasure sword is the Emperor Weapon of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor, and it is not so easily wielded. Even if the Emperor Weapon is revived, it requires a tremendous amount of divine power to wield it effectively.
"Admit defeat! Otherwise, this battlefield will become your burial ground!" Wu Tian said leisurely while defending himself.
He had long realized that this sloppy elder, though relying on the advantage of the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword to suppress him momentarily, will face a storm-like counterattack once he withstands this round of attacks.
"Don’t be arrogant!"
The sloppy elder shouted angrily, slashing with his Heavenly Weapon treasure sword even faster.
He understood his own situation well, so he could not afford to stop. His slashes with the Heavenly Weapon became faster and more forceful, continuously pressing Wu Tian with a fierce assault.
The duel at the quasi-emperor level is the most earth-shattering battle in nearly ten thousand years, making Ye Fan and others fully realize the gap between themselves and the top-tier strong people.
At such intensity, not to mention participating, even being at the edge of the battlefield could lead to being affected.
They couldn’t withstand even a wisp of the aura; they would inevitably turn to dust.
As the battle between the two became more intense, the catcalls between the Human Race and the Demon Clan disappeared, with everyone nervously watching the changes on the battlefield.
A passing asteroid was affected and shattered by the sloppy elder’s sword, sending a chill from head to toe through everyone, be they of the Human Race or Demon Clan.
With such Combat Power, who in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could compete?
People were at a loss for words, unable to fathom how to contend with such might. If this battle took place on the ground, all living beings would surely perish with no suspense whatsoever.
However, when the brilliant light faded, people were shocked to find that Wu Tian was unharmed, as a light curtain from the seven-story pagoda sheltered him completely.
At this moment, the members of the Demon Clan finally let out a sigh of relief; their anxiously held breaths were fully released. If Wu Tian had been defeated, the remaining battle for the Demon Clan would not have been worth fighting; they might as well have admitted defeat outright.
In three matches, if the Human Race won two consecutively, there would be no point for the Demon Clan to compete further in the third.
"You’re done. Now it’s my turn!"
Wu Tian snorted coldly as the seven-story pagoda suddenly enlarged, with a massive black hole appearing at its base, pressing down toward the sloppy elder.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword in the hands of the sloppy elder immediately struck the base of the pagoda, and then with the recoil, he retreated into the endless depths of the starry sky.
"Trying to run? Can you escape? I said, since you won’t concede, this battlefield will be your place of demise!"
Wu Tian struck again, with the emperor’s might of the Emperor Weapon sweeping through the entire firmament, causing it to collapse and form a giant black hole with a single tremor.
"Clang!"
The seven-story pagoda turned into a stream of light, heavily colliding with the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword, immediately sending the sloppy elder flying back a hundred feet, his tiger’s mouth almost splitting from the shock.
In the clash of Emperor Weapons, the Heavenly Weapon treasure sword continuously sapped his divine power to maintain its revived state, causing him considerable distress.
Up to this point in the battle, his divine power was already severely depleted. Even as a quasi-emperor, maintaining the revived Emperor Weapon for so long was difficult. If this continued, even as a quasi-emperor, he would be drained of his divine power, and at that point, he would truly be doomed.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
With the advantage in his favor, Wu Tian relentlessly drove the Emperor Weapon of the seven-story pagoda, launching a frenzied attack, almost cornering the opponent. The situation was completely reversed.
"Hahaha..."
A Demon King from the Demon Clan laughed heartily, having already seen clearly that the sloppy elder was about to fall. In this battle, Wu Tian was destined for victory.
Laughing at this moment with unrestrained boldness, the Demon King was certain of the sloppy elder’s impending defeat, and possibly even downfall, fearing no repercussions.
This laughter rang harshly in the ears of the heroic figures of the Human Race, but the situation was stronger than the people; it was evident that the sloppy elder was likely done for.
At this moment, the hearts of everyone from the Human Race were in their throats. Wu Tian, as one of the newly ascended quasi-emperors of the Demon Clan, possesses vigorous vitality and a thick Life Origin.
In contrast, the sloppy elder is the foundation of the Treasure Pavilion, with his lifespan nearing its end, old and with declining vitality. Although his cultivation is quite powerful, his overall strength is still inferior to Wu Tian’s. To have held on until now was already no small feat.
"Boom!"
Wu Tian drove the seven-story pagoda once more, dealing significant damage to the sloppy elder, nearly splitting him apart and causing him to spew blood wildly, his body cracking, while blood rained down!
"Brother Ya, concede!"
Seeing this, Elder Lin from the Imperial Academy’s foundation immediately spoke up, advising that the sloppy elder’s defeat was inevitable. To persist further would only lead to a dead-end.
