The Great Ruler: Starting from the Dark Ages

Chapter 168 Slaying the Azure Emperor, Battling the Two Emperors Hongyu

"Fight again!"

The Azure Emperor roared and charged at Xu He once more, this time with his most powerful form.

The wings behind the Azure Emperor, one black and one white, together formed a Great Dao diagram, and the ultimate Yin and Yang power vibrated out at this moment, instantly attacking Xu He.

Upon seeing this, Xu He merely raised his hand indifferently.

The next moment, the celestial realm transformed from the Sea of ​​Bitterness appeared in the mortal world.

The surrounding world was replaced by it.

Even the Azure Emperor was startled, and it took him several breaths to come to his senses and realize that it was just an illusion.

Originally, he thought it was a fantasy, but the next moment, the power of the sun and moon suddenly appeared in this world, and in an instant, it transformed into a diagram of life and death.

The strange phenomena of the sea of ​​suffering of the past have also been transcended with the liberation from the sea of ​​suffering, and have transformed into the true pattern of the Great Dao.

That power of Yin and Yang was far superior even to the black and white wings behind the Azure Emperor.

"What kind of magic is this?" the Azure Emperor exclaimed in surprise.

"The method to kill you!" Xu He said.

They carried the Yin-Yang Life and Death Diagram and charged towards the Azure Emperor.

Each time the Heavenly Emperor Fist is unleashed, the golden blood energy and the power of the Yin and Yang energies will experience a major explosion.

This entire world was shaken.
As a result, the Boundary Sea exploded, and countless shattered worlds were completely reduced to dust.

This is the ultimate divine battle of a quasi-immortal emperor. A single thought can determine life and death, obliterate the Great Dao, and dry up the long river of time!

The Azure Emperor was in a sorry state, facing countless Emperor Fists.

His body was riddled with bloody holes; his once-proud body was as fragile as paper in the face of Xu He's Emperor Fist.

He felt as if he were facing the most powerful killing force in history!
As figures at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, the difference in their killing prowess wouldn't be too great, a fact that the Azure Emperor was well aware of.

He fought with Xu He, and Xu He was wounded as a result.

However, Cang Di's injuries were significantly more severe than Xu He's!
This not only means that Xu He is invincible in killing, but also that his physical body is incomparably tough.

Even someone of his special race couldn't match him. Was that person really human?
The Azure Emperor couldn't help but wonder, who was the real monster?

Finally, after Xu He threw another punch, the Azure Emperor could no longer hold on.

His neck was smashed, and his head flew off his body.

The strange imperial blood of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor dripped into the Boundary Sea, creating an extremely desolate scene.

In contrast, Xu He, high in the sky, still had a tall and imposing figure. The long battle had not diminished his condition, and he was still at his peak.

It seems to have been so since time immemorial.

This greatly alarmed the Azure Emperor and filled him with immense sorrow.

In the past, he and several fellow Daoists killed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor who had come from the other side of the sea.

The location is right here.

Back then, they were full of vigor and had an extremely enjoyable time. But now, after countless ages, this place has been transformed into his final resting place!

"Is this what it feels like to be a loser...?"

The Azure Emperor smiled bitterly; for the first time in countless ages, he had suffered a defeat.

He is not reconciled...

"Don't even think about stalling for time," Xu He said coldly. "I won't give you that chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu He threw another punch.

In an instant, brilliant light rose again, illuminating the sea of ​​boundaries, and endless, domineering fist winds swept across everything with overwhelming force.

It blasted straight at the head of the Azure Emperor.

"boom!"

The Azure Emperor's head shattered, and endless blood gushed out, mixed with brain matter.

However, it had little golden hue; it was all tainted by darkness, making it repulsive.

The life of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is too tenacious. Even if his body is blown to pieces and his head is blasted into dust, his remaining primordial spirit still has vigorous vitality.

Xu He said coldly:
"Then I'll beat you until you're completely dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Emperor's primordial spirit showed signs of fluctuation, and at that moment, he truly felt a sense of fear.

He doesn't want to die.

"stop!"

Just as Xu He was about to throw another punch, a voice came from the horizon.

He roared in extreme anger, trying to stop Xu He from doing what he was about to do.

As a result, a beam of purple-gold divine light shot out from the horizon and hurtled towards Xu He.

They wanted to force Xu He to resist and give up on killing the Azure Emperor.

But the Azure Emperor, witnessing this scene, could only look up to the sky and roar in utter helplessness.

Did they intend to force Xu He into a life-or-death situation?

Putting aside his physical strength, even if he were to be injured as a result, would he really accept it?

too naive!

Xu He is a complete madman and doesn't care about any of that!
"boom!"

Xu He threw a punch, a blow that shook the heavens and earth, nearly causing the end of the Boundary Sea to collapse and tearing space apart. At the same time, the aura of the Azure Emperor could no longer be detected in the world.

It has really been erased!

The Azure Emperor was the earliest founder of the Heavenly Court, a figure who broke through the King and became Emperor several eras ago.

Finally, at this moment, it enters the long river of history, washed away by the flowing water.

Whether he accepts it calmly or feels resentful, history has turned the page on him, and it will never come back.

Xu He, who forcibly killed the Azure Emperor, also suffered injuries.

That purplish-gold divine light almost cut him in half at the waist.

Fortunately, he made a quick repair, which prevented a tragedy from happening.

"You bastard, you actually killed the Azure Emperor!"

At the horizon, the voice was filled with uncontrollable rage.

Then, a purple-gold avenue appeared and stretched out, causing the entire world to tremble and all things to kneel down, as if welcoming a true emperor.

A new Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor has appeared.

He wore a purple-gold crown, which was quite gloomy, and his face was extremely grim.

The moment he appeared, he was accompanied by the aura of the River of Time. Clearly, he came from the River of Time, from billions of years ago, to aid the Azure Emperor.

Unfortunately, he was too late.

"You actually killed the Azure Emperor!" the Hong Emperor roared in fury. "Even if the Azure Emperor was a piece of trash, it was still not someone you should have killed!"

"You are ignorant of the secrets of heaven, defy the darkness, and act willfully. You are no different from that madman from countless ages ago!"

As he spoke, Emperor Hong sneered:

"The ending is also the same as always."

In his view, Xu He had already been sentenced to death.

Anyone who comes here will feel the same way.

One was a cultivator who had fought fiercely with a Quasi-Immortal Emperor for a long time and was then severely injured by another Quasi-Immortal Emperor; the other was a cultivator who had awakened from countless ages and traveled across the river of time to arrive.

Judging from their current state, it seems that the superiority of one over the other has already been determined.

"Summon Emperor Yu as well, don't waste my time." Xu He said calmly. His tone and attitude made it seem as if he were the one who had awakened, while his enemies had all suffered heavy losses.

They didn't take it seriously at all.

Emperor Hong was even more furious, but he was still somewhat curious:

"You know the Feather Emperor?"

He was quite certain that no one in the world could know these things.

"Burial Land and the Otherworld, weren't you behind all of that? Without your ancient artifacts, they wouldn't have risen to prominence so suddenly." Xu He spoke again.

It reveals a shocking secret.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hong took it very seriously.

This matter is known only to a select few, but they are all emperors, a rare occurrence throughout history.

As for Xu He, a junior, it would be impossible for him to know this, according to common sense.

Given that he had just killed the Azure Emperor, the Hong Emperor dared not let his guard down.

He roared towards the sky:

"Emperor Yu, come quickly and slay this anomaly!"

Emperor Hong's voice resounded throughout the world, and countless people felt their livers and gallbladders tremble and their eardrums about to be pierced upon hearing it.

A murderous aura swept across the boundary sea, and no one could afford to be careless.

As the Feather Emperor's voice reverberated out, a blazing light shot into the sky from the depths of that ultimate ancient land. Unlike the Cang Emperor's dark light, it was sacred and majestic, illuminating the eternal blue sky. Its rich imperial might swept across the eight wastelands in an instant.

"Disturbing my slumber, you shall die!"

Just five words were uttered, but it was as if all the heavens and myriad realms had suffered a calamity, and the heavens collapsed!
One or two ancient chariots were born, simple and solemn, with nine giant beasts that looked like real dragons treading the long river of time.

"Trying to imitate the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin? You've tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog!"

Xu He clicked his tongue in amazement.

These nine giant beasts, resembling real dragons, pulling the bronze chariot, are just like the Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin.
Emperor Yu must have come into contact with the Three Generations Bronze Coffin and know its mysteries, so he wanted to imitate it to prove his own path to becoming emperor.

Unfortunately, although Emperor Yu was incredibly powerful, he was ultimately just a quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Want to learn from the Lord of the Bronze Coffin?

Do you have that strength?
As Xu He's voice reverberated out, its sarcastic tone was keenly caught by Emperor Hong and Emperor Yu.

In a mere instant, the figure inside the chariot unleashed a powerful imperial might, shattering the bronze chariot into a shower of light.

Clearly, Xu He's words had stung and angered him.

"The Emperor cannot be humiliated; you have already chosen your own death!"

The Feather Emperor is extremely sacred, the strongest among the three emperors, and his condition is flawless, only slightly inferior to the Old Man of Annihilation.

It really was just a hair's breadth away.

According to normal circumstances, after the Old Man of Annihilation was born, he gave the three emperors supreme elixirs to help them recover.

Both "Cangdi" and "Hongdi" express gratitude.

Only the Feather Emperor was dissatisfied, saying that the elixir was too ordinary.

Xu He had some doubts at first, but now he truly felt the power of the Feather Emperor. Although he had never truly faced the Old Man of Annihilation, he could not know the gap between the Feather Emperor and him.

But with Emperor Hong here, the difference between the two becomes extremely obvious.

"A path to death?" Xu He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke:

“A man named Cang Di also said the same thing to me, but not long ago, I killed him with a single punch.”

As soon as the words were spoken, both Emperor Hong and Emperor Yu turned cold.

The three of them are competitors, but their deeper relationship is that of allies.

A sense of impending doom gradually crept into Emperor Hong's mind.

Although it's impossible for the Azure Emperor to have actually been killed by Xu He with a single punch, his death is enough to prove Xu He's strength.

Even for them, suppressing Xu He would come at a considerable cost.

Emperor Yu has a much better mindset than Emperor Hong.

His thoughts were only slightly affected, for a fleeting moment.

"These words are truly arrogant. There was such an arrogant person thousands of years ago, but unfortunately, he is already dead."

Emperor Yu stroked the Emperor Spear, his tone filled with emotion, yet also carrying a hint of killing intent.

He was referring, of course, to the Emperor of Footprints.

The protagonist of the era of imperial decline.

The Emperor's Spear still bore blood, which had not dried over countless ages. It was a pity that its life force had been wiped out. This must have been a source of worry for the Feather Emperor, since it was not impossible for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to be resurrected with a drop of Emperor's blood.

There is no miracle that cannot happen if one can cultivate to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

"You call that era the Era of the Fall of Emperors?" Emperor Yu pondered for a moment, gleaning information from the lamentations of the myriad realms.

He then gave a chilling laugh:
"Indeed, Emperor Luo, today another emperor has crossed the boundary sea to grace us with his presence."

"This moment, just like that moment."

After Emperor Yu finished speaking, he and Emperor Hong burst into laughter. In their eyes, they probably really thought that Xu He would soon be killed by gunfire.

It was at this moment that Xu He made his move.

The hand of Heaven descended swiftly, sweeping across the Boundary Sea with world-destroying power.

All the creatures within the Boundary Sea that had not lost their way, including the Immortal Kings, were sent back to the Immortal Realm by Xu He; the only remaining were the dark creatures that had slipped through the net.

Therefore, Xu He will not hold back at all; the Boundary Sea is his best battlefield.

The hand of heaven was so enormous, it was practically boundless.

Emperors Yu and Hong's pupils suddenly contracted, and they glared angrily at Xu He.

They might have guessed that Xu He would seize an opportunity to strike, but they never expected his killing to be so swift and fierce!
The Feather Emperor flapped his wings and traversed billions of miles in a single step, yet he remained within the range of the Heavenly Hand's strike.

His lips twitched, knowing that this attack was unavoidable. He immediately drew his Emperor Spear and thrust it fiercely at the hand of the heavens.

The Emperor's Spear gleamed with a sacred light, and the imperial blood on it became even more eerie.

And so their paths intertwined with Xu He's divine hand.

"boom!"

A sharp, piercing roar resounded, shaking the heavens and the myriad realms in an instant.

Countless people had their eardrums ripped and started bleeding. Some people had their internal organs shattered, and the blood they coughed up contained fragments of their organs!
The ancient planet with life closer to the blast radius completely disintegrated at that moment.

Such is the nature of a quasi-immortal emperor: with a single thought, the heavens are thrown into chaos; with a single thought, the world finds peace.

Moreover, three quasi-Immortal Emperor level figures are engaged in battle deep within the Boundary Sea.

Any divine rainbow they produce is unstoppable in this world!
Even the Boundary Sea could barely withstand it and shattered. At the point of shattering, countless chaotic energies began to spread and then filled the Boundary Sea, making the already hazy Boundary Sea even darker.

Countless people gazed at the Boundary Sea, a dark and hazy place that offered no hope to anyone.

It was an endless, eternal night!
But in this endless day and night, a golden star twinkled, instantly expanding countless times.

In the end, people saw it clearly; everyone saw it clearly.

A fist flash! It was an unparalleled fist flash!
Blood energy! It's golden blood energy!
That kind of unparalleled, domineering power that sweeps across the world and conquers all things in an instant.

No one in the world can compare to it.

Even the Hong Emperor and Yu Emperor, who were both at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, felt a threat of death from this supreme Emperor Fist.

At this moment, a question arose in both of their minds:
Is this really a newly born Quasi-Immortal Emperor, or a Quasi-Immortal Emperor who has been cultivating for many years?
