High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 787 The Fall of the Overlord! Shaking the Four Directions (5K)

The flower swept across the void, silently traversing the sky. Though seemingly small, the power it exuded was enough to make any powerful being in this void tremble.

The murderous intent is palpable!
Seeing flowers is like seeing death!

This is a terrifying killing move forged with his own life by a master of the Dao of Mind and Weapon at his peak! Its power is unimaginable!

"Destroy!"

The Lotus Symbol Sovereign struggled desperately, and in his madness, he blasted away the divine spear that Li Yuan had thrust at him. Then, he slashed his palm toward the end of the void, trying to stop the purple flower from getting closer to him.

however!
Whoosh! That purple flower, containing endless killing intent, completely ignored any material obstacles and passed directly through the palm light of the Lotus Symbol Ruler. Then, under the watchful eyes of countless powerful figures, the purple flower merged into her body.

"No!" A hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Lotus Symbol Sovereign.

Her armor was undamaged.

Her divine body is completely intact!

The next moment!
"No! I! Ah..." The Lotus Symbol Sovereign suddenly let out an extremely painful howl, his face contorted in an instant, as if he were enduring endless pain, and his body was trembling slightly, almost out of control.

"Ah!!!" The Lotus Symbol Sovereign roared again, the pain that directly tore apart and annihilated the soul had completely erupted.

This was something she had never experienced before in her life.

As she wailed in anguish, her soul's energy rapidly diminished.

"this?"

"Qingqi Sovereign's soul-killing move is so terrifying?" Li Yuan, who was restraining the attack on Lianfu Sovereign, was shocked when he saw this scene.

The will of the dominant soul must be extraordinary.

However, even under Qing Qi's killing move, it still couldn't withstand it, which shows how powerful that purple lotus was, and how it directly inflicted endless pain on the enemy's soul.

call!
Li Yuan ceased his attack, merely ordering the chains formed by the nine Emperor-level puppets to continue suppressing the Lotus Symbol Ruler.

But at this moment, there wasn't any overly intense oppression.

“According to what Lord Qingqi said before, once her killing move is formed, unless the soul defense reaches the supreme level, or the soul origin is extremely powerful... otherwise death is certain! And the death process will be extremely painful.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “I don’t need to launch any more physical attacks.”

“Continuing the attack might trigger some of the opponent’s fighting instincts, which could lead to a bad outcome.”

and so.

In their plan, once Qingqi Sovereign successfully unleashed his killing move, all Li Yuan needed to do was maintain the seal for a while and wait for Lianfu Sovereign to die.

"Such a deadly move."

"In an instant, it transformed almost all of the caster's divine body's matter into the power of the illusory realm... and then condensed all the power of the illusory realm into a single point, finally unleashing it all." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Too violent, simply defying the heavens! Could it be a secret technique that the Sovereign Qingqi himself comprehended?"

Such a deadly move is to risk one's life for a single strike.

In Li Yuan's view, let alone a ruler, even a supreme being would find it extremely difficult to create one.

"Could it be a sub-saint's secret technique? If it really is a sub-saint's secret technique, where did Lord Qingqi learn it from?" Li Yuan wondered to himself.

Li Yuan's strength is now close to that of a Dominator, and his vision is extremely high, no less than that of many Dominators.

Faced with such a powerful killing move, Li Yuan instinctively wanted to explore its source and see if he had any hope of learning it.

……

"Lianfu! How are you?"

"How is it?" Dark Furnace Sovereign, who had been engaged in a fierce battle with another true form of Sovereign Qingqi, noticed the pain on Lotus Talisman Sovereign's face and repeatedly transmitted his voice.

However, the Lotus Symbol Master did not respond at all!
Even when the Dark Furnace Overlord tried to contact the other true forms of the Lotus Symbol Overlord, there was no response.

This made him even more alarmed.

Could it be that Qingqi's move was not only aimed at this one true form of Lianfu, but also at all of Lianfu's true forms?
That would be terrifying!

It should be known that in the vast universe, some terrifying killing moves can be connected through cause and effect and destiny, and can simultaneously attack every true body of a cultivator across endless time and space.

However, anyone who reaches the peak of the Emperor Realm will have extremely strong vitality, making it almost impossible for all of their true bodies to be killed at the same time.

In the eyes of the Dark Furnace Overlord, no matter how powerful Qingqi Overlord's move was, it was impossible for it to threaten all of the Lotus Symbol Overlord's true forms at the same time!
After all, the Lotus Symbol Ruler has different true forms, but they reside in different eternal ruins, and one of them is hidden in its home universe.

The fact that the Lotus Symbol Master did not respond still made him feel uneasy.

"Qing Qi, get out of my way!" The Dark Furnace Overlord was furious. The power of his hooves and claws surged to a terrifying level, attempting to completely blast away the original true form of the Qing Qi Overlord.

He has given it his all!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~ However, the true form of the Qingqi ruler was still desperately entangled. Under the shroud of those strands of sword light, he could only distract himself and blast away again and again. Then more sword light attacked, and the speed was ridiculously slow.

"Dark Furnace!"

"Don't waste your time." Qingqi Sovereign's voice was icy: "Even if I let you pass now, you can't save Lianfu Sovereign. Once she's hit by my killing move, unless her soul defense is incredibly strong, her true body will surely die! No one can save her."

The Dark Furnace Overlord's heart sank.

Since Lord Qingqi dared to say that, he must have some confidence.

The Dark Furnace Overlord asked himself if their assassination plan had any flaws, but Li Yuan's various trump cards and methods were beyond imagination, causing the situation to deteriorate instantly.

"Even if the true form of the Lotus Symbol Sovereign perishes."

"But the treasures she carries with her must not be lost." The Dark Furnace Overlord roared.

Boom! His massive body erupted with a strange black light, instantly boosting his life force significantly. His hooves and claws increased in speed once more, slicing through the sky like sharp blades, and his attack power completely surpassed that of the Qingqi Overlord.

"Abyssal Spirit Blood?" Sovereign Qingqi's expression changed slightly. In the vast universe, there are many rare treasures that can assist in battle for different Eternal Daos.

Abyssal Blood can greatly enhance the abilities of powerful individuals who have opened the Path of Great Destruction, but the consumption of Abyssal Blood in battles among the rulers is also astonishing... after all, once Abyssal Blood is used up, it's gone.

With a single claw strike, the void ripped apart! Its speed was beyond measure!
boom!
The Qingqi Overlord was struck by this violent grab and sent flying backward, his efforts to retaliate becoming increasingly futile.

Whoosh! The Dark Furnace Overlord's speed increased dramatically, quickly approaching the location of Li Yuan and the Lotus Talisman Overlord.

At this moment, the pain on the face of the Lotus Symbol Sovereign did not ease at all, but instead intensified, and her soul aura continued to decrease.

"Lotus Talisman!" The Dark Furnace Overlord's killing intent intensified.

Finally, he was about to approach the location of the Lotus Symbol Sovereign, and he could even sense the powerful auras lurking in the void.

"Break it for me!"

With a low roar, the Dark Furnace Overlord unleashed its massive hooves, slicing through the dark night sky as it attempted to break the magic array formed by the nine Emperor-level puppets.

Boom! The world he controlled pressed down with all his might!

but!

"Yunyu! Sixth plan, suppress him!" Li Yuan gave the order.

"Yes!" the nine Emperor-level puppets responded.

Buzz~ Buzz~ The chains around the Lotus Symbol Master quietly disappeared, and then the magic array led by the nine Emperor Realm puppets suddenly changed direction.

Like nine bolts of lightning, they suddenly rushed towards the Dark Furnace Ruler.

The two sides are way too close!
The nine Emperor-level puppets, who were already prepared, unleashed their magic arrays at an incredibly fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the nine Emperor-level puppets erupted with endless dazzling light and collided with the Dark Furnace Overlord.

"Buzz~" "Buzz~"

"Buzz~" The nine Emperor Realm puppets transformed into mysterious chains the moment they touched the Dark Furnace Ruler, reconnecting with the void and attempting to seal the Dark Furnace Ruler directly!

"roll!"

"Trying to bind me? Get lost!" The Dark Furnace Overlord was instantly enraged. He swung his hooves with extreme speed, trying to sever the somewhat illusory chains.

but!

The Dark Furnace Overlord is powerful, but the sealing formation formed by the nine Emperor Realm puppets is clearly more resilient at this moment!
In a short period of time, it easily withstood the killing blows of the Dark Furnace Overlord.

"Hiss hiss hiss~" One by one, the sealing chains tried to penetrate the body of the Dark Furnace Sovereign God through the void.

"Hmm?" Although the Dark Furnace Overlord struggled with all his might, he still felt that he was forced to mobilize a large amount of power to resist this infiltration and impact!
All of a sudden!

He was completely trapped.

"Where did this peak Emperor Realm puppet come from? How can it be so troublesome?" The Dark Furnace Overlord felt extremely frustrated and angry.

Only when he actually fought them did he realize the special nature of these peak Emperor Realm puppets; they were simply unavoidable.

His world domain is shrinking rapidly, and he can hardly break out of this sealed space-time!

His power is steadily declining...

"not good!"

“Neither the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source nor the Overlord of Qingqi are in this array space... I’m trapped.” The Overlord of Dark Furnace sensed something was wrong and struggled desperately.

But nine chains were tightly bound around him.

"Lotus Symbol!!" The Dark Furnace Overlord tried to approach the Lotus Symbol Overlord... but he could only watch helplessly as the Qingqi Overlord arrived first.

A sword comes out!

The Lotus Symbol Sovereign, his face contorted in pain and utterly powerless to resist, saw his divine body's aura begin to diminish as his soul energy continued to dissipate.
Most importantly, this attack sent the Lotus Symbol Sovereign flying, further widening the distance between him and the Dark Furnace Sovereign. ...

"The situation is settled." Seeing this, Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The nine Emperor Realm puppets can still hold back the Dark Furnace Master for a while."

"enough."

"Before the Dark Furnace Sovereign breaks free, he should be able to completely kill the Lotus Symbol Sovereign," Li Yuan thought to himself.

"If I had released the nine Emperor-level puppets from the beginning... at that time, the Lotus Symbol Sovereign and the Dark Furnace Sovereign were right next to each other and could have supported each other." Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "It might not have been as smooth as it is now."

The moment the two rulers of the Hanxingyu Alliance appeared, Li Yuan secretly communicated with the ruler Qingqi and revealed their trump cards to each other.

Li Yuan was shocked to discover that the Lord Qingqi had concealed a true form that had not yet been unleashed.

Qingqi Overlord was also surprised that Li Yuan had a trump card... At that time, they had two choices: one was to unleash their strength to intimidate the opponent, which should have allowed them to escape.

Another option... is to fight to the death! Try to kill the opponent!

"Keep some distance first."

"This will make it difficult for you to provide immediate assistance, giving the nine Emperor-level puppets enough time," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Then I and the puppets will hold off one of the Sovereigns... finally giving Sovereign Qing Qi time to unleash his ultimate move."

Qingqi's ultimate move is powerful, but its drawback is that it takes too long to execute.

“The rulers are all incredibly powerful, and even if they outnumber each other, their chances of killing one another are extremely slim.” Li Yuan’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

"Fight for your life!"

"To be able to exchange one for one, and to take away the many imperial weapons and treasures you carry, this battle is already worthwhile!" Li Yuan calmly observed everything: "It is also enough to deter all potential enemies."

Purple flowers are in bloom!

The Lotus Symbol Sovereign's agonizing roar signifies that the life force of a Sovereign's true form is rapidly fading away!
"Chichi~"

The other true form of the Qingqi Ruler did not attack the Lotus Symbol Ruler much, but only kept blasting the Lotus Symbol Ruler away, preventing her and the Dark Furnace Ruler from getting close... The Lotus Symbol Ruler's soul aura continued to dissipate, and her struggles became weaker and weaker.

The weaker the soul, the more difficult it will be to control the powerful divine body.

at last!

The Lotus Symbol Sovereign fell completely silent. Her divine body hovered in the void, still radiating an astonishing allure... but her soul aura had completely dissipated.

Just like a stunning sculpture!

Lotus Symbol Ruler, die!

"Whoosh!" With a wave of her hand, Sovereign Qingqi took the remains of Sovereign Lianfu and all the imperial weapons she used into her cave world, and there was no further resistance.

"Yunyu, come back." At Li Yuan's command, the chains that had been binding and suppressing the Dark Furnace Ruler instantly disappeared.

The magic array dissipated, and the nine streams of light flew back to Li Yuan's side, transforming into nine exquisite figures.

In fact, the nine Emperor Realm puppets had already exhausted most of the energy they had accumulated after fighting so fiercely for so long.

Having regained his freedom, the Dark Furnace Overlord unleashed his World Domain with a single thought, shattering Li Yuan's Domain and once again enveloping the vast expanse of space and time. Li Yuan and Qing Qi Overlord once again felt the suppression of the domain, and their movement speed was involuntarily reduced.

"You two!" The Dark Furnace Sovereign stared at the Qingqi Sovereign and Li Yuan with a look of shock and anger, but did not make any further moves.

The entire void had fallen completely silent.

"Dark Furnace, do you still want to fight?" Qingqi's voice was icy cold, echoing in all directions: "I still have one true body, and I am 80% confident that I can perish together with you."

The Dark Furnace Overlord's face was grim.

In terms of strength, as the Supreme's direct disciple, he is stronger than the Lotus Symbol Sovereign, and the Imperial Weapon guarding his soul is also stronger.

However! Qingqi's killing move was too terrifying; he had no confidence whatsoever that he could block it.

At this moment, the starry sky is completely silent!
In the distant void, at the foot of Mount Sanyan, the thousands of cultivators watching the battle were also somewhat shocked by the words of the Sovereign Qingqi.

Too domineering!

In this battle, it was clearly the Dark Furnace Overlord and the Lotus Symbol Overlord who took the initiative to attack... but in the end, it was the Lotus Symbol Overlord who perished!
Although Qingqi, the ruler, also lost one of his true forms in battle, he maintained control of the situation.

"Don't you dare?"

Sovereign Qingqi chuckled, "Xinyuan, let's go!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and put away the nine Emperor Realm puppets.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Qingqi Sovereign and Li Yuan transformed into two streaks of light and rushed towards the nearby Three Flames Mountain... Dark Furnace Sovereign did not pursue them further.

He knew that if he pushed the other party too far, Qingqi, the ruler, would definitely unleash a killing move.

soon.

Once they left the world domain of the Dark Furnace Overlord, Overlord Qingqi and Li Yuan soared again, quickly disappearing into the void.

It also disappeared from the perception of all the powerful beings.

"did not expect!"

"Ordered to intercept and kill Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, I've encountered such a madman... In this battle, Lianfu and I have become stepping stones for Qingqi and Xinyuan to gain fame." The Dark Furnace Sovereign's feelings were complicated as his gaze swept over the numerous spectators in the void.
he knows!
News of this battle was destined to spread rapidly... Glory belongs only to the victors.

Whoosh! The Dark Furnace Overlord did not linger and quickly departed.

...After both sides left, the spectators had no more scruples, and the quiet void erupted with bursts of discussion.

"The Lotus Symbol Sovereign has perished! Sovereign Qingqi and Quasi-Saint Xinyuan departed calmly, truly elegant."

"Qingqi Overlord is truly powerful. What kind of killing move is this? He killed Lianfu Overlord in the blink of an eye."

"Killing the enemy also means killing yourself; this is a desperate move!"

"so amazing."

"The truly powerful one is the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source... Whether it's the Qingqi Ruler, the Lotus Talisman Ruler, or those Emperor-level puppets, no matter how powerful they are, they are all within the normal range. Only the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source is truly powerful."

"He fought the Lotus Symbol Ruler head-on for a long time; that's the most heaven-defying thing!"

"Correct!"

"For a God-King to fight a Sovereign head-on for so long, how incredible is that?" The many spectators sighed with admiration, feeling that their trip to Sanyan Mountain was worthwhile, as they were able to witness such an earth-shattering battle.

Quickly!

These spectators came from different major factions, and they began to pass on the information to their own faction's leaders, friends, and so on at an astonishing speed.

News of the battle spread like wildfire.

……"What?"

"How is this possible! A Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source is fighting a Sovereign head-on?"

"...The God-King has unleashed combat power approaching that of a ruler?"

"How can this be!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"This is battle footage. The news has spread. The Lotus Symbol Overlord has fallen... Although I don't believe it either, I saw it with my own eyes, and it is indeed true." As the news spread, the first reaction of the high-ranking officials of various major forces in the vast universe was disbelief.

The God-King realm is comparable to the peak of the Emperor realm, which is already incredible; it is rare even in the recorded history of the universe.

When will a God-King be able to be compared with a Dominator?

However, after repeated confirmation, the peak Emperor Realm and Sovereigns of various major forces were all deeply shocked.

……

In the distant, immortal realm, at the second immortal temple, in a mysterious space-time at the highest point of the temple.

"God Lord!"

"This is the information I just received regarding the Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source." Commander Cang Er bowed respectfully, his face revealing undisguised excitement.

"God King Realm, strength close to Dominator?" On the majestic golden throne, the golden-robed God Lord looked at the intelligence report in his hand.

He was completely unconcerned about the mutual destruction of the Lotus Symbol Ruler and the Qingqi Ruler, as he knew many similar tactics.

The only intelligence available was from Li Yuan.

"I didn't expect that!"

"Four top-tier eternal paths—I had long anticipated he might reach this point… but I never expected it to be so fast. Truly unbelievable." The golden-robed god-lord rested his fingertips on the armrest, a smile appearing on his blurred face: "Very good!"

"Ha ha!"

“Cang Er… perhaps we are about to meet a benefactor.”

……

"what?"

"Alliance Leader, in a direct confrontation, he's almost on par with the Overlord?" The Myriad Paths God Emperor, the Hundred Dragons God Emperor, the Golden Moon God Emperor, and other powerful figures at the Emperor Realm of the Dream Universe were all somewhat bewildered when they received the news.
