Chapter 588 Two Emperors and One Sovereign

Central Plains, the City of Five Emperors!

No matter how much turmoil there is in the outside world, the peace of the Five Emperors City will never be broken.

This seems to be everyone's perception.

Therefore, even the guards stationed on the walls of the Five Emperors City did not care about this duty.

Actually, this point isn't entirely wrong...

For many years, no one has dared to offend the Five Emperors City.

Why make such a fuss every day, standing here so solemnly on guard duty?
With this free time, why not take a nap and then go to the brothel to listen to music with girls, full of energy? Wouldn't that be wonderful?
The brothels in Wudi City are unlike any other place. They have beautiful girls who can win your favor. Each one of them is exceptionally beautiful. If you are lucky enough to have a chance to kiss one of their beauty, you don’t know how intoxicating it will be.
A guard meets a girl in a dream while guarding the Jade Gate. Just as things are about to get intimate, he suddenly feels the urge to urinate and wakes up from his dream with a look of displeasure.

I gave myself a small slap in the face:

"I should have drunk less at noon. I was woken up by the urge to pee. It's such a pity I almost did..."

He stood up, shaking his head, intending to find a place to resolve the problem.

But after taking only two steps, I felt as if I had caught something out of the corner of my eye.

He frowned slightly and glanced towards the outside of the city wall, following his memory.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted.

What I caught out of the corner of my eye was not an illusion; right outside the city, a figure stood in the void.

The figure was shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to discern anything about him.

Only in his right hand was he playing with a round, chubby object.

You can vaguely see that the hand exposed outside the sleeve is black and shriveled...

The guard couldn't help but rub his eyes, still somewhat incredulous.

Suddenly, the figure flicked his hand and threw the object in his hand onto the city wall.

The thing rolled a few times and came to the guard's feet.

Face up... it was a human head.

As a guard of the Five Emperors City, he was quite knowledgeable, so he quickly recognized the origin of the head.

Wanyu Sect Leader Xiao Qianhe!

The guard had the honor of seeing her once; she was an absolutely stunning beauty.

Her eyes, in particular, were captivating and mesmerizing; just one glance at them was enough to make one's soul sway.

Her figure was graceful, neither stingy in its fullness nor slender in its slenderness... The guard had been haunted by her sight for many years, giving him plenty of material for his nightly fantasies.

But he never dreamed that when he saw Xiao Qianhe again, it would be like this.

The stunningly beautiful woman of the past no longer possesses even a trace of her former beauty.

His face was contorted in a grotesque and distorted expression.

She once had the power to make countless men willing to die for her with just a glance.

But now, fear and despair still linger in those wide-open eyes.

The voluptuous body had vanished without a trace, leaving only this human head...

"how come……"

The guard couldn't resist squatting down, wanting to touch the cheek of the man who had helped him reach the Jade Gate.

But the next moment, his body was already involuntarily in mid-air.

Not just him... all the guards on the city wall, including those standing guard at the gate below, all flew up.

While in mid-air, you can feel something inside your body rapidly draining away.

That's true energy, fresh blood, and one's own essence and spirit!

Then, in this state of utter terror, they all watched as their bodies were slowly consumed by fire and frozen by frost, until finally everything was reduced to darkness.

One by one, the corpses fell to the ground.

Li Juechen looked at his withered hands, his bloodshot eyes no longer able to express any human emotions.

He moved through the air, and in one step, he had already entered the Five Emperors City.

The people on the street looked at him with strange eyes... These were people who had eaten and seen a lot in the Five Emperors City, and they didn't care much about someone wearing strange clothes.

Even the death of their guards didn't seem to bother them much.

Or... it's not that they don't get nervous, but rather that they don't know how to react.

After all, they have been living in peace for too many years.

Lacking the caution of those outsiders, they also lacked the instinct to protect themselves in the face of crisis.

Until Li Juechen swept his finger, dozens of people who were hawking their wares and strolling around on one side of the street instantly lost their heads.

The remaining people then realized what was happening, let out a shout, and began to flee in panic.

Some panicked and fell into the ditch. They tried to jump out with all their might, but because they were too weak and had not been active, they could not get out at all.

Some people even broke into other people's homes, went straight to the bed, covered themselves with blankets and trembled, only to be kicked off the bed by the other person's wife while she cursed at them, each one a different curse.

Some people couldn't escape, so they grabbed a vegetable leaf from a nearby stall and covered their faces, as if it were the best disguise to fool the most skilled hunter in the world.

In short, chaos reigned in the Five Emperors City!

Li Juechen watched this scene with his blood-red eyes, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

With a casual tap of his fingertips, wisps of wind swept by. He didn't care about the consequences of the force; he simply did as he pleased, leaving the rest to fate.

Screams, wails, and angry curses rang out amidst the chaos.

The sounds filled his ears with a unique joy.

This was one of the few times he had been able to find happiness since he woke up again.

"The Five Ghosts Corpse Order lives up to its name. To achieve the unity of the five elements and unleash its maximum power, one must not be human."

"Only by crossing the gate of life and death and comprehending the chapters of the other shore can one obtain the true meaning within."

"Now that I am dead, how can a dead person die again?"

"Having obtained the body of a celestial corpse, an immortal and indestructible being, who in the world can rival me?"

An overwhelming sense of joy suddenly welled up in Li Juechen's heart.

The only thing he regretted was that by achieving the indestructible body of the Heavenly Corpse, he had lost the joy of being human.

His body lacked any human sensations... Moreover, all the activity within him originated solely from the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Token]. Although he could still activate [Thousand Yuan Dao, Myriad Transformations Return to One] and [Stealing Heaven Demon Art], he had absolutely no human senses left.

Moreover, because his body was already dead, even if he circulated his internal energy, he could not generate internal force.

Therefore, he could only 'borrow' from others. Blood, internal energy, and spirit were all highly nourishing. His indestructible Heavenly Corpse body was like a bottomless pit, capable of continuously storing energy.

After waking up at the Forgetful Mountain Villa in the Eastern Region, he rushed to the Central Region, occasionally killing experts and attacking civilians, all in order to accumulate strength for himself.

After he set foot in Zhongzhou, he first killed the disciples of the Sword Emperor Palace, and then went to the four major sects one by one, slaughtering them all.

Carrying the head of Xiao Qianhe, the leader of Wanyumen, they finally arrived at Wudi City.

With the resources he plundered, he might be able to live peacefully for hundreds of years!

This idea thrilled him.

There was no method for achieving immortality before, and he created the first secret method for achieving immortality in the world.

This is an unprecedented feat!
Of course, this method of achieving immortality has some side effects... Once mastered, one will no longer be human.

But what does it matter?
Li Juechen felt that the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Order] might still be worth studying further, and the potential of the [Original Path Opening Scripture] had not been fully explored.

If he had a long lifespan to use and unparalleled martial arts skills to do whatever he wanted, it wouldn't be impossible for him to eventually perfect the [Five Ghosts Heavenly Corpse Token] and regain a normal human body.

"The sea of ​​martial arts is boundless and has no end."

"The most wondrous thing in this world is exploring the true essence of martial arts!"

He spoke softly, but his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Suddenly looking up, I heard a voice say calmly:
"Who are you? How dare you act so presumptuously in Five Emperors City?"

A young man with white hair stood on the street gate, looking at Li Juechen with a slight frown.

"You don't even recognize me, the Emperor?"

Li Juechen chuckled lightly, then spread his hands:

"But it's no wonder, now that I have the appearance of an immortal, I am indeed very different from you mortals."

"It's perfectly understandable that you wouldn't recognize him."

"This Emperor..."

Dao Emperor Xuan Song frowned slightly, and suddenly he pointed his fingers like a sword and flicked the tip.

With a whooshing sound, the energy shifted three times, moving up and down the three paths, heading straight for Li Juechen.

Li Juechen neither dodged nor avoided the three energies, letting them hit him and knock off his hood.

A withered, ashen face, devoid of any human vitality, appeared before Xuan Song's eyes.

Xuan Song was slightly taken aback; he had already recognized the face.

"Li Juechen!?"

"Xuan Song, it's been a long time."

Li Juechen chuckled and spoke.

Xuan Song's face darkened as he looked at the surrounding corpses and gritted his teeth, angrily saying:

"What are you doing? Killing innocent people indiscriminately? Did Luo Kongming really die at your hands?"
"How...how did you become like this?"

"What's wrong with how it is now?"

Li Juechen smiled, but the smile on his face made him appear even more ferocious.

“Xuansong, you don’t understand. I feel that I have never been as comfortable as I am now.”

"Indiscriminate killing of innocent people..."

"In this world, who is immortal?"

"If their deaths please me, then they have died a worthy death."

"There is no sound in this world that can bring me more pleasure than their screams."

"Also, you're right, Luo Kongming did indeed die at my hands."

"If you have to blame someone, blame him for being so old-fashioned."

"What is Chu Qing anyway? I wanted to join forces with Luo Kongming to kill Chu Qing, but he refused."

"Unfortunately, he can't stop me from doing what I want to do. Even if I can't change his mind, so what? He still has to obey my orders."

"Even if he dies, I can still manipulate his body at will, and in the end, didn't he still help me out?"
"However, Xuan Song... you are ultimately a Dao Emperor, with an extraordinary status. I will give you a chance."

"Submit to me, and if you behave properly, I may even grant you immortality!"

"You're crazy..."

Xuan Song looked at Li Juechen with eyes full of pity.

The next moment, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with a fierce light:
"Today, you shall die in the City of Five Emperors."

In the past, he might not have made such a decision.

But now, he wants to join the Heavenly Evil Cult together with the Ancient Emperor Yi Sheng, and the so-called overall situation will naturally change.

He no longer cared whether the power he had accumulated was enough to fight against the Heavenly Evil Cult Leader.

The Five Emperors City was his bargaining chip to gain a high position from the Heavenly Evil Cult Master, so how could he allow Li Juechen to wreak havoc on it?
Xuan Song took a step forward and slowly descended from the gate, his white hair gradually turning black in the process.

A thunderous sword cry resounded throughout the entire Five Emperors City.

The sword light flashed, covering a thousand miles in an instant. By the time Xuan Song landed, he already had a sword in his hand.

The Dao Emperor's sword, the Xuan Yuan Sword!

The moment the sword was in hand, countless sword blades suddenly appeared, and with a single point of Xuan Song's sword, they went straight for Li Juechen.

Li Juechen stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly possessing immense confidence as he faced this magnificent sword strike.

But then a clanging sound was heard!

The sword struck Li Juechen, producing a metallic clang.

The scattered sword energy and a wisp of gray-black turbid energy erupted simultaneously, creating a deafening roar. The gate behind Xuan Song was the first to be hit. In the face of the collision of the two people's inner energy and the overflowing qi, it was instantly shattered into fragments scattered all over the ground.

The ground cracked and crumbled, and the strong winds swept the houses on both sides into the cracks.

The people inside watched in despair as the roof was blown off, and then they were buried under the collapsed walls, with blood flowing from beneath the ruins.

Unmoved by the gale, it instead spread towards Li Juechen's feet.

The two figures remained motionless during the fight, while the street beneath their feet collapsed by more than three zhang, leveling an area of ​​ten zhang in radius and creating a huge crater.

Xuan Song stared in astonishment at Li Juechen before him. Even though he was the Dao Emperor, whose age and seniority were only below that of the Ancient Emperor and the First Saint among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he couldn't help but change color.

"What kind of martial arts are you using?"

"Go ask the King of Hell."

Li Juechen casually grabbed the Xuan Yuan Sword, and a gray-black turbid aura spread out. But before Xuan Song could retreat, a hand had already slammed down on his head.

"Spare his life!!"

A voice as resounding as a great bell rang out.

When Li Juechen looked up, he didn't see a figure, but a bell.

A huge bronze bell fell from the sky and trapped him inside.

boom! ! !
The giant bell, bearing down on Li Juechen, was directly pressed into the deep pit, emitting a tremendous roar.

A robust, shirtless, white-haired old man landed on the bronze bell, clasped his hands together, and the giant bell beneath his feet shook violently once more.

"Li Juechen, you've gone too far!!"

"presumptuous?"

Li Juechen's voice inside the bell was icy:

"Do you think this Qiankun Bell can trap me?"

"I advise you, if you are not blind and deaf, then submit to Xuan Song together. Otherwise, the two of you are only fit to become my food!"

"You're about to die, and you still dare to be so arrogant?!"

The ancient emperor was furious.

Then, suppressed laughter came from inside the bell:

"die?

"I am immortal and indestructible. Do you two even dare to kill me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar was heard, and the Qiankun Bell suddenly produced a palm-shaped protrusion.
