Chapter 397 The Mysterious Star-Shooting Crossbow and the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 396

In the Sky King's Palace, the Sky Emperor's expression was very unpleasant.

Too much time has passed, and the other two groups of emperors are still unable to determine a winner.

This was not normal at all. He had realized that all the emperors had been putting on an act, all wanting to reap the benefits. It turned out that everyone had the same idea, which meant that He had wasted several months entertaining the Holy Grail Emperor in the Sky King's Palace.

During the months that awaited when the other emperors were both weakened, the Grail Emperor showed Him no mercy whatsoever.

Not to mention the food and drink, almost all the palace maids that the Empire offered to the Sky King's Palace were ruined by the Grail Emperor.

The once bustling Sky King's Palace is now almost deserted after several months.

The Sky Emperor allows the Grail Emperor to take whatever he wants in His Sky Palace, simply to weaken the Grail Emperor as much as possible. Every bit of weakening is beneficial, and since the Grail Emperor has already benefited, it's not easy for the other side to compete with Him when choosing their prey.

As a result, all the investment over the past few months was wasted, no wonder the Sky Emperor was so unhappy.

A few days later, the six emperors gathered at the Sky King's Palace.

They looked at each other and neither felt embarrassed; they were just disappointed that they had missed the chance to profit from the situation.

Since everyone wants to reap the benefits, it seems that from now on, we can only fight for real, not pretend.

This time, the Sky Emperor did not choose Rosen; instead, the Sword Emperor set his sights on Rosen.

Finally, the Sky Emperor and the Shining Emperor fled into the void, as did the Judgment Emperor and the Burning-Eyed Emperor.

Everyone was in a hurry because there was still another chance for the fisherman to profit.

As long as you eliminate your opponent and consolidate your victory as quickly as possible, you will have the opportunity to attack other emperors.

Rosen thought the same way, so after both sides released their imperial territories from their respective domains, they immediately began a national war.

The Sword Emperor held the Star-Shooting Crossbow, an extraordinary artifact of god-like and demonic quality, and fired an arrow the instant he locked onto Rosen.

The Star-Shooting Crossbow, with its divine power as its bolts, is powerful enough to pose a deadly threat to the Great God.

However, if celestial bodies are used as crossbow bolts, they are enough to pose a threat to immortal gods and demons.

Even among immortal gods and demons, the Star-Shooting Crossbow is a top-tier extraordinary artifact.

Rosen was eager to finish the battle quickly, so he had no intention of testing the waters with the Sword Emperor.

Using the forbidden curse painting of the Sword Emperor that had been prepared beforehand, the curse of the Immortal Evil God was directly sent over.

Planting statues of evil gods yields Hellish Eyes. As the fruit of the Root, Hellish Eyes do not contain the power of the evil gods, because all the power of the evil gods is intercepted by the roots formed from the Eternal Root, which are then transformed into pigment.

Such a forbidden curse painting would be enough to make even the Sword Emperor suffer greatly.

This curse directly corrupted the divine essence of the Sword Emperor, leaving Him no choice but to transfer the damage through the King Sequence.

However, the curse of the immortal evil god, through the miraculous nature of forbidden curses, creates a cycle of life and death that is like a bone-deep infection.

The King's Sequence can transfer the effects of a curse, but it cannot transfer the curse itself.

In the blink of an eye, countless people in the entire Sword Empire have been cursed and corrupted into followers of the evil god.

The Sword Emperor sensed the disruption to the flame of imperial civilization and activated his Star-Shooting Crossbow, firing a stellar bolt.

Inside the arrow formed by the crimson fire of the sun god, one can vaguely see hundreds of stars forming a string. These are all stars that have reached the end of their development and are about to become red giants. Although they are ordinary stars and not extraordinary stars, they still possess terrifying destructive power.

Faced with the incoming stellar crossbow bolts, Rosen, who was originally prepared to withstand the attack head-on, materialized the Golden Crow Starship.

The stellar crossbow bolt, powerful enough to annihilate a great true god, was swallowed whole by the Golden Crow Starship. Although the Golden Crow Starship's body almost melted on the spot, it still managed to withstand the stellar arrow and suppress the red giant star inside.

Rosen put away the Golden Crow Starship, his mind filled with various doubts.

He knew the concept of the universe and once thought that outside the new world was a vast universe with infinite celestial bodies.

However, when the eternal source of the origin seed, the divine consciousness, transcended the new world and crossed the universe, he discovered that the universe outside the new world had no galaxies or countless stars, but only an endless world origin.

Since then, he has been wondering whether the Blue Star and the vast universe outside the Blue Star in his previous life really existed.

If it doesn't exist at all, how do you explain the layout of the mysterious study, or the nuclear bomb that once appeared in the spirit world?

Perhaps because he has lived for so long in this life, the brief years of his previous life have become increasingly insignificant in his memory.

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder whether his memories of his past life were real or not.

But now, seeing this stellar arrow, he realized that the answer might be found in the Sword Emperor.

Because whether it's the New World or the Old World, the sun and stars here are extraordinary.

The core of the sun is the solar law, and what burns on the surface is the solar divine fire, which is not a nuclear fusion reaction at all.

However, the numerous stars inside this stellar arrow were all the kind of stars he knew from his previous life, stars that had never appeared in the new world. To find out where these stars came from, it seemed necessary to capture the Sword Emperor alive.

At this moment, the Sword Emperor saw that one arrow had been blocked, and with a heavy heart, he fired a second black crossbow bolt.

What appeared to be a crossbow bolt made of interconnected black holes, with the internal black hole force fields forming a special spacetime sealing array.

This formation transforms the power of the black hole into the power of spacetime, the purest power rather than the laws.

In fact, laws are products of nature; laws themselves are products of order.

When Rosen's divine consciousness traversed the universe, it did not discover the existence of laws. In the universe filled with the origin of endless worlds, there were no orderly laws, only various basic forces. It seemed that laws would only be born when a world was created.

At this moment, although this force of spacetime is not as strong as the laws of spacetime, its quantity is beyond imagination, even though its quality is inferior to the laws.

Therefore, this black hole arrow was incredibly fast, and even Rosen, who mastered the laws of spacetime, could only barely activate the invulnerability of the Glorious Throne.

It must be deployed actively, because the black hole arrow is faster than the passive deployment speed of the invulnerable weapon.

On the defensive barrier erected by the Glorious Throne, the faint outlines of the various territories under Rosen's control could be seen.

At that moment, the black hole arrow struck it, and all the damage was instantly transferred away.

Visibly, Rosen's body was cracking inch by inch, from the inside out.

Of all the territories, the strongest defenses, besides the Mysterious Study, are those of the body formed by the fusion of the Divine Realm and the Dragon Realm.

Other territories are difficult to repair once destroyed, but the body is easy to repair once destroyed.

After obtaining the Glorious Throne, Rosen considered whether to simply withstand the damage with his own body, rather than having the Glorious Throne transfer the damage unnecessarily.

However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that the same damage, which is immune to all attacks, is significantly weakened after being transferred.

First, it is important to know that all the damage caused by the Great True God contains the power of laws and immortal will.

These are the most troublesome things. It's like being cut with a tetanus knife. Bleeding wounds are easy to stop bleeding, but if the rust on the wound isn't treated properly, not only will the wound not heal, but the ongoing damage can be fatal.

When the Glorious Throne transfers damage, only the base damage is transferred.

As for the immortal will and laws contained within the damage, they were all filtered out by the invulnerability to all laws.

Rosen felt his body shatter as if it were porcelain, and was horrified by the damage caused by the black hole crossbow bolt.

If he weren't immune to all magic, two or three arrows would have been enough to take his life.

However, since the laws and immortal will are filtered out by the invulnerability to all laws, surface damage is not a great threat to him. He only needs to transform into all things and then reconstruct his body to be as good as new. Of course, this process also consumes a lot of energy and cannot be used casually.

Although he was not afraid of the sword emperor's attack, Rosen still pretended to be frightened and turned to run away.

The Sword Emperor pursued relentlessly, unleashing a barrage of arrows crafted from various celestial bodies. In a short time, not only was Rosen's body shattered like porcelain, barely managing to reassemble itself, but even the Mysterious Study suffered some damage.

Despite having the absolute upper hand, the Sword Emperor felt his heart grow heavier and heavier.

He had a limited number of Star-Shooting Crossbow bolts, and by the third shot, he felt Rosen was about to die. Now, dozens had been fired, and Rosen was still stubbornly holding on?
The Sword Emperor had realized that Rosen was incredibly powerful in both defense and vitality, and that he looked like he could die at any moment. It was very likely that the Emperor was just trying to lure him into firing more Star-Shooting Crossbow bolts.

Before Rosen could even be killed by His arrow, the evil god's curse within Him had already corrupted all the subjects of the Sword Empire.

The Sword Emperor gritted his teeth and fired his last three arrows, the last three white dwarf arrows striking the barrier surrounding Rosen.

Under the relentless pull of gravity, the impenetrable barrier was finally torn apart.

Or rather, Rosen voluntarily dispelled the barrier.

The moment his body was completely torn apart, he also spontaneously transformed into all things.

The world that his body transformed into spread outward, encompassing not only the Sword Emperor but also the entire territory of the Sword Empire and the Holy Grail Empire, eventually becoming an immortal world suspended in the void like a chicken egg.

As the eternal source within the eternal divinity flowed into this world, it began to take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.

Since you're going to transform into the world to heal your injuries anyway, why not take this opportunity to use the power of the Eternal Source to further improve your physical body?

Countless roots pierced through the immortal world. Under the power of accelerated time and with Rosen's active cooperation, the roots completely drained the essence of the immortal world, leaving only remnants. And that wasn't all; the mysterious study also fell into the roots' embrace at this moment.

Rosen transferred most of the damage to the Mysterious Study, which in turn suffered enormous damage as well.

This is a good opportunity for Rosen to completely destroy the mystery study and its fusion with him.

Ultimately, the Mysterious Study is the immortal world of Apocalypse. No matter how good other people's worlds are, they are all slightly inferior to one's own. So he simply took this opportunity to devour the Mysterious Study as well.

As the roots receive sufficient nutrients, they begin to sprout, flower, and bear fruit.

With a final tear, the Root Fruit was ripped apart, and Rosen crawled out of it.

The body, reshaped by the Eternal Roots, is now completely different from what it was before.

The divine realm was preserved, merging the territories of the Sword Empire and the Holy Grail Empire into the mind of the ancient god.

Then the mysterious study did not disappear, but merged with his sea of ​​consciousness.

Rosen's biggest worry in the past was his sea of ​​consciousness. His body was fused with the immortal world, making his defense unparalleled. However, his sea of ​​consciousness and eternal godhood were obviously not as strong as his body's defense. Now that the mysterious study and his sea of ​​consciousness have merged, his defense will no longer have any weaknesses.

Although the result was good, Rosen was still somewhat dissatisfied.

Because his expected fusion was a complete fusion, it now seems that the power of the Eternal Root that he has mastered is not strong enough. The root fruit that has grown can only further fuse the Mysterious Study with him, but it cannot completely decompose the Mysterious Study into nutrients with its roots.

After the Mysterious Study and the Sea of ​​Consciousness merged, Rosen would no longer need to use doors or windows to enter or exit the Mysterious Study.

With a single thought, one can draw the physical body outside the sea of ​​consciousness into it.

Rosen carefully sensed the ancient god's mind. The mysterious study was too powerful. It was understandable that the Eternal Source had not been completely transformed into nourishment, but why hadn't the territories of the two empires been completely transformed into nourishment either? Instead, they had merged with the divine domain and occupied the ancient god's mind.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the land within the ancient god's mind contained far more than just these elements.

After merging the game permissions he possessed and the eternal game essence with the divine realm, it transformed into a small King's Continent and King's Game, which occupied the ancient god's mind. However, this world and this King's Game were under his absolute control.

It's like using the Eternal Root to digest all the gains he's made in the King's Game over the years.

Even the real King's Game outside cannot reclaim the part that he has completely taken away.

If Rosen wins the King's Game, he can even completely integrate the King's Game and the King's Continent into the Ancient God's Mind. At that time, the world integrated into his Ancient God's Mind will be equivalent to the complete King's Game.

Rosen activated his Omniscient Eyes and looked at the other battlefields, discovering that the Sky Emperor's battle was also nearing its end.

Clearly, the Sky Emperor shared the same idea as Him: to quickly determine life and death and then reap the benefits.

So the Sky Emperor went all out against the Shining Emperor, willing to die to drag the Shining Emperor down with him. The Sky Emperor had game privileges that allowed him to revive himself, but if the Shining Emperor died, he would be truly dead.

Rosen didn't take the opportunity to attack the Sky Emperor; the Sky Emperor, who still had several lives, wasn't so easy to kill.

He quietly made his way to the battlefield between the Emperor of Judgment and the Emperor of Burning Eyes. At this time, although the two of them also wanted to win quickly, their strengths were not much different and neither could do anything to the other. Moreover, they were now even considering stopping the fighting and making peace.

Clearly, they had sensed that a battlefield in the distance had come to a halt.

This deprived Rosen of his chance to launch a sneak attack. Just moments later, when the Sky Emperor's side also ended the war, the Judgment Emperor and the Burning-Eyed Emperor completely ceased hostilities. It is unknown what they said in their divine consciousness exchange, but the two emperors actually began to merge.

The Emperor of Judgment and the Emperor of Burning Eyes became one person, and the Empire of Judgment and the Empire of Burning Eyes also merged into one.

Rosen was quite certain that the two of them were not the same person, so this fusion was not the kind of fusion between an avatar and the original body, but rather a fusion of two bodies through some kind of secret technique, with the two consciousnesses jointly controlling one body.

Sooner or later, the two emperors will fight for their lives on the level of soul and divine origin in a struggle for their bodies.

Therefore, the current integration is merely a postponement of the time when life and death will be decided.

Then, through merging, they can join forces to fight against other emperors.

As expected, none of the prey that survived to this point were simple; they all managed to find a way out of a seemingly inescapable situation.

If the two of them had merged a little slower, Rosen wouldn't have minded joining forces with the Sky Emperor to take down their prey one by one once the Sky Emperor arrived. Now, all three groups of emperors have ended the war at the fastest speed. Next, the Holy Spirit Emperor will be released for a semi-final battle.

The three of them tacitly distanced themselves, each digesting the spoils of their battle and converting them into strength.

After his ancient god body was reshaped by the Eternal Source, his life essence has increased to the maximum value of 165 points, and his divine essence has also grown to 164 points. He is only one point of divine essence away from becoming a great true god.

However, this is not the biggest gain. The biggest gain is that the four King cards are finally complete.

The four King cards have now merged into one King card.

The Immortal Emperor: Miracle Tarot

[Rank: Immortal God/Demon]

[Miracle Attribute: The Immortal Emperor can create and control all Tarot cards]

[Miracle Traits: Immortal Crown, Immortal Scepter, Immortal Sword, Immortal Grail, Immortal Coin, Immortal Empire, King's Game (Sealed), Unique in Heaven and Earth, Eternal and Undying]

Except for the final miracle ability, King's Game, which is still sealed, all other abilities have been activated.

In the blink of an eye, an immortal crown appeared above Rosen's head, an immortal scepter appeared in his hand, an immortal holy sword hung at his waist, and immortal star coins appeared in his pocket. At the same time, the power of the immortal emperor began to permeate the heart of the ancient god, transforming the Holy Grail Empire into an immortal empire.

The sole purpose of the Immortal Scepter is to transform the extraordinary corpses of both allies and enemies into immortal units.

This immortal unit is actually a unit in the King of Glory game that can be constantly resurrected.

The Immortal Holy Sword can master the laws of kingship and the laws of emperors, but it still cannot master the legendary strongest law of imperial power.

However, the current Immortal Holy Sword, having inherited the power of the Sword King, can enhance the all-around combat capabilities of the Immortal troops.

Then there are Immortal Coins, which can convert all resources into Immortal Coins. Whether it's reviving Immortal units, using Immortal units to build various exclusive buildings for the Immortal Empire, or creating various Tarot cards, all of these require Immortal Coins.

As for the Immortal Grail, it can transform all matter into the source of immortality, which is the universal energy source of the Immortal Empire.

Finally, the Immortal Crown can lock away the source, infinitely heal the Immortal Emperor, and suppress all Tarot card holders.

Rosen tried to create tarot cards, but he found that he could only create the Minor Arcana, not the Major Arcana.

Because all the Major Arcana cards already exist, and without exception, they all have owners.

Through the Immortal Crown, Rosen could vaguely sense that all the holders of these Major Arcana cards were in the New World.

He could only continue to sense the miraculous characteristic of the Immortal Empire. This miraculous characteristic could transform the entire Immortal Empire into a Miracle Empire, granting the entire empire the ability of miraculous immortality. This meant that the territory and subjects of the Immortal Empire would be fearless of death.

However, Rosen doesn't believe that the two miraculous characteristics of being unique in the universe and eternally indestructible are only beneficial.

If the Eternal Holy Radiance he possessed were any stronger, he would have erased these two miraculous properties.

The Immortal Emperor Miracle Tarot deck is not yet complete; it will only be truly complete after winning the King's Game.
