Free Web NovelChapter 1224: Chapter 1225: Unearthed an Inch
The power of space within the Spear of Space seems unable to break even the Demon Emperor’s defenses. Witnessing this, the other Eight Emperors were all moved, with differing thoughts, or perhaps harbored ulterior motives. Obviously, if the Demon Emperor truly pulled out the Spear of Space, they naturally wouldn’t let it go.
After all, it appears that obtaining the Spear of Space would seemingly allow one to command the Nine Provinces.
On the surface, for a millennium, the Nine Emperors of the Unparalleled Nine Provinces have been harmonious, and the Unparalleled Realm has been calm, without any world-ending battles. But this peace is built on a balance of power. Should one of the Nine Emperors be able to crush the other Eight Emperors, it is without question that they would take action to flatten the Nine Provinces and unite the Unparalleled Realm.
Looking at the massive silhouette of the Demon Emperor, the gazes of the other Eight Emperors were very somber.
Roar~
At this moment, the Demon Emperor let out a great roar, revealing his true form, which turned out to be a massive ancient beast spanning a thousand meters — a Flood Dragon. His sharp claws, under every pupil’s watch, gripped the Spear of Space.
Buzzing~
Suddenly, the winds and clouds changed, demon might spread in all directions, and the terrifying power of the demon filled the heavens and the earth. The enormous body seemed to cover the entire sky. However, in an instant, the space abruptly twisted, and another black hole erupted, devouring everything, bottomless.
Bang bang bang~
Subsequently, the earth cracked, and many palaces in the Sword Palace collapsed directly under the impact, turning into ruins, causing people around to retreat a hundred miles away. Yet even at this distance, those cultivating could clearly see everything in front of them with sharp eyes.
Moreover, those who were a hundred miles away were filled with immense energy, beginning to resist the suppression of the demon’s might.
Ptoo ptoo~
Nevertheless, countless people were greatly affected, spitting blood. Even Qian Yue and others within the crowd were no exception. They wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths and continued to watch everything before them.
Roar~
The Demon Emperor roared again, heaven and earth shattering, destructive storms forming vortexes of abyss. The sky where he stood was completely covered by the storms of destruction, yet the Spear of Space grew stronger as it met resistance. The might of the space seemed to distort the entire sky, turning the sky above into a Thunder Domain striking the Demon Emperor himself. Veins bulged on the Demon Emperor’s face, and blood trickled from his mouth, yet his spirits were unyielding.
The reason was simple — the Spear of Space was crucial to him. Obtaining it could possibly allow him to command the Nine Provinces. How could he give up so easily?
"Rise!" With a bellow, the entire sky trembled. The scales on the Demon Emperor shimmered, and every bone in his body cracked with crisp sounds. The immense power of the demon was incredibly strong. Soon, the Spear of Space seemed to waver.
"It’s moving, the Spear of Space is moving; it seems to have emerged an inch!"
"The Demon Emperor’s power is terrifying. Could he truly be able to shake the eternally immovable Spear of Space?"
"In this way, doesn’t it mean he will command the Nine Provinces?"
"..." Many were terrified. Even an inch emerging was already shocking to everyone. After all, neither the Profound Yellow Divine Emperor nor the Void Sword Emperor could budge it even a little.
At this moment, the gaze of the other Eight Emperors became even more somber. If the Demon Emperor could truly pull out the Spear of Space, they would undoubtedly choose to make a move.
Boom~
Just when everyone thought the Demon Emperor had a promising chance of pulling it out, suddenly an irresistible might of space erupted from the sky, as if a rift was torn open in the sky, where the Spatial Will annihilated everything.
Ptoo~
Finally, the Demon Emperor couldn’t hold on, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was flung backwards, crashing to the ground, his complexion pale.
Has it failed?
Did the Demon Emperor ultimately end in failure?
The Spear of Space seemed to have only emerged an inch, remaining eternally immovable. Although the Demon Emperor was strong, he only managed to reveal an inch of the spear, which, though enough to shock the crowd, was just an inch. What difference does it make if it’s not fully pulled out?
"So strong!" The Demon Emperor, after transforming into human shape, stared at the giant spear that pierced into the void with strange eyes. His heart was in turmoil. As a ruler of power, even he could only lift an inch.
What does that inch represent?
Of course, those Emperors who hadn’t tried would naturally be unwilling. After all, the Spear of Space is the number one Divine Artifact in the Unparalleled Nine Provinces. Not having tried, who would easily give up? However, after a night’s time, all ended in failure.
The Divine Artifact was right in front of them, yet none of the Nine Emperors could move it. Their expressions were unpleasant.
The Nine Emperors, the most prestigious figures of the Unparalleled Nine Provinces, yet today here they were thwarted by a Spear of Space. Thousands and tens of thousands of eyes were fixed on the spear that touched the clouds, all with trepidation and awe.
The Nine Emperors could not shake it. What does the Spear of Space contain within it? No one knew, but perhaps it harbored the power to destroy the sky.
This matter instantly stirred endless storms in Desolate Continent City once again. The possessor of the Spear of Space, Xiao Tianyu, his name once again rocked the Nine Provinces, and overnight, the crowds under the Desolate Continent Sword Palace grew larger and larger.
Tonight, the legendary Spear of Space surfaced, and no one in the Nine Provinces could move it. It even annihilated two Nine Provinces Saint List prodigies. The Nine Emperors came to try, but still, no one could move it even slightly. Then what kind of stunning and exceptional person is the owner of the Spear of Space that such a powerful spear would willingly submit to him, and even challenge the emperors of the Nine Provinces?
Among the crowd of prodigies on the Saint List, Qin Yu’s expression was not pleasant. Back when he was in Qin Tian’s Divine Country, he even delusionally thought of making Xiao Tianyu hand over the Spear of Space. But even if he handed it over, could Qin Yu even lift it?
The result would most likely be the same as those two Saint List prodigies, turning into a blood mist.
Thinking back now, it seems laughable. Was Qin Yu even worthy of obtaining the Spear of Space?
"How did it come to this?" Among the crowd of tens of thousands, a woman’s eyes showed unwillingness. If Xiao Tianyu were here, he would certainly recognize her. For no other reason than that this person was indeed Qian Yue of the Deserted Island.
As for Xiao Tianyu obtaining the Spear of Space, it was she who disseminated the news. She originally intended to use the Nine Emperors’ hands to eliminate Xiao Tianyu. Who would have thought that with a spear here, no one in the Nine Provinces could move it.
So, can the Nine Emperors still kill Xiao Tianyu?
If Xiao Tianyu does not die, what about her own fate?
Time and again, Xiao Tianyu has disdainfully neglected to kill her, not because he doesn’t want to, but because he cannot be bothered to take action. Yet repeatedly plotting in Xiao Tianyu’s presence, even mud-like patience has its limits.
However, Qian Yue did not quietly leave. She wanted to see what Xiao Tianyu’s ultimate fate would be. She didn’t believe the Emperor of Nine Provinces couldn’t deal with Xiao Tianyu. Qian Yue was exceedingly clever, hiding within the crowd, watching and waiting for changes.
Moreover, she knew clearly that the Nine Emperors didn’t leave precisely because they were waiting for Xiao Tianyu to show himself.
After all, the Spear of Space is right there, so Xiao Tianyu must also be here, possibly lurking somewhere, observing everything that was happening. Today is also the wedding day of Xiao Ziyan, and as one of Xiao Ziyan’s admirers, Xiao Tianyu is anticipated to appear.
