Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 211 A Great Victory, News from the Merit Register Wall (5k words, one chapter today)
With a swift movement, the sword fell, beheading the victim in a single stroke.

Each of the first-class marquises of the Rakshasa clan is a treasure, worth a thousand or even ten thousand times more than an ordinary marquis.

Along with the head of the Heavy Sword Marquis, the great banner of the Rakshasa army was also severed.

With their commander beheaded and their banner broken, the morale of the Rakshasa army had already been halved by seventy percent before the battle had even begun.

Emperor Yi stood atop the broken flagpole, holding a sword in one hand and the head of the Heavy Sword Marquis in the other.

Looking at the Rakshasa saints surging in like a tide, he uttered a single word: 'Kill'.

Behind him, eight hundred saints from the Kunlun Realm charged out together.

In a large-scale battle within the Holy Realm, the individual's role is minimized, and attacks between them rely on the clash of Holy Artifacts.

The martial arts saints of Kunlun Realm activated a total of twenty-three myriad-patterned sacred artifacts, unleashing their full power, which fell into the Rakshasa Clan's sacred army.

The spiritual power sage, under the guidance of Mei Huangsheng and Meng Zhijie, the two masters of Confucianism and Taoism, activated the sacred book of the Confucian ancestor.

The four sacred books of Confucianism and Taoism are more valuable than the Supreme Sacred Artifact, and their power in combat is no less than that of the Supreme Sacred Artifact.

The divine weapons left behind by the ancient gods are the greatest advantage that cultivators of the Kunlun Realm have over the other six great worlds of the Seven Realms of Shatuo.

Such a treasure as the Sacred Book of the Confucian Ancestor is something that even the gods of the Six Realms have never possessed.

The sacred book of Confucian ancestor slowly opened, and brilliant characters flew out, accompanied by a stream of sacred sounds, as if millions of scholars were reciting poems.

Every word, upon colliding with the Rakshasa saint, transformed into righteous energy, igniting the Rakshasa evil energy within the saint.

One after another, Rakshasa saints fell.

The Rakshasa army naturally carried many Myriad-Patterned Sacred Artifacts, but to unleash the full power of a Myriad-Patterned Sacred Artifact, one needed the combined efforts of all the saints, or the full strength of a first-class marquis.

With the death of the Heavy Sword Marquis, no one in the Rakshasa army before them could activate the Myriad Pattern Sacred Artifact on their own.

The combined efforts of all the saints will take time.

But Di Yi didn't give them time to react.

Once the fluctuations of the Myriad Pattern Sacred Artifact are emitted, the Heavenly Demon Shadow above the clouds will shoot out the White Sun Arrow to interrupt it in advance, or it will be directly targeted by Emperor Yi's true body and shredded by the Sword Dao Profound Qi.

Wan Canglan and Xianfeizi each commanded a battle weapon of the Ten Thousand Pattern Sacred Artifact level. They were shocked as they watched Di Yi move through the Ten Thousand Saints as if they were in an empty place.

This is the role of top-tier experts. Although they cannot fight against the Holy Army alone, they can capture generals and flags, overcome difficulties, eliminate hidden dangers in advance, and clear obstacles for the subsequent army.

Without a commander or powerful weapons to fight back, the Rakshasa Clan, despite having ten thousand saints, could only be suppressed by the eight hundred saints of the Kunlun Realm and had little power to retaliate.

Chen Wutian, the Unfaithful Monk, the Spear Saint, and other top experts each led a team of martial arts saints, charging into the Rakshasa army like a long dragon.

Above the clouds, after firing over thirty arrows in a row, the Heavenly Demon Shadow changed to a more wide-ranging attack, condensing holy energy into arrows, and each time he drew his bow, arrows rained down.

Although it cannot threaten the Rakshasa Marquis above the Tongtian Realm, it is a devastating blow to the Rakshasa Marquis below the Tongtian Realm.

Emperor Yi, sword in hand, moved through the Rakshasa army, killing ten saints with each step. After a hundred steps, he had shattered the entire army formation, his body covered in blood, and even the Heaven-Sealing Sword in his hand was stained crimson.

Looking back, the Rakshasa army's ranks had been broken up, and they were unable to organize a complete resistance.

On the other hand, the saints of Kunlun Realm cooperated with each other more and more skillfully, and with fewer troops, they achieved an absolute advantage.

The Ten Saints, including the Sword Saint of Burial Moon, the Fifth Master of the Eastern Sacred Domain, and Song Molun, arrived from the other side, preparing to join the battle, just in time to encounter God One.

"You've come at the right time. Come with me and charge back to completely disrupt their formation."

Within Di Yi's body, a holy light of ten thousand feet surged forth, and a hundred holy shadows of mid-stage saints appeared on his Hundred Saint Blood Armor. Flames ignited in his hands as the Fire God Gauntlets were activated.

Behind him, a thousand-foot-tall Heavenly Demon Saint appeared, carrying a dragon and a phoenix on its shoulders, with the Soul-Devouring Saint Chain wrapped around its body.

The Sword Saint of Burial Moon, the Fifth Master of the Eastern Domain Holy Academy, Song Molun, and others unleashed their strongest power, following behind Emperor Yi as they charged towards the Rakshasa army.

It should be noted that the Rakshasa clan still has several thousand saints, and they only have eleven of them in total, yet they dared to launch an attack. This is not something that can be done with ordinary courage.

To a large extent, it was influenced by Emperor Yi's solo charge into the formation.

The Soul-Devouring Holy Chain, inlaid with the yellow dragon's teeth, is indestructible. The bodies of saints are as fragile as paper before it, and each strike cuts through the bodies of dozens of Rakshasa Marquises.

The Burial Moon Sword Saint and the Fifth Academy Master are no ordinary people either. They are among the top experts below the Saint King. In particular, the Burial Moon Sword Saint's sword dao Xuan Gang is so powerful that even a second-class marquis is no match for him.

The Rakshasa army has been completely thrown into disarray, and many marquises have begun to retreat, no longer daring to continue their battle against the saints of the Kunlun Realm.

Once the first person fled, the escape quickly spread, and within moments it became a massive rout.

The Rakshasa army suffered only 20% losses and was fully capable of fighting again, but their fighting spirit had been completely shattered, and they had no desire to fight anymore.

Once morale collapses, even the most elite army is nothing but a clay chicken and a tile dog.

Thus, an extremely absurd scene unfolded on the northern continent of the Ancestral Spirit Realm: nearly eight thousand Rakshasa Marquises were hunted down by less than eight hundred Kunlun Realm Saints, losing their armor and weapons, and not daring to look back.

Wan Canglan, Xianfeizi, Bu Qianfan, and the others were all covered in blood, unable to believe that they had actually defeated the Rakshasa Clan's army of ten thousand saints with just eight hundred saints.

Immediately, they came to their senses and looked at the retreating Rakshasa Marquises with burning desire in their eyes.

These Rakshasa Marquises are all merit points. If all the Saints are kept, it would be enough to earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of merit points for the Kunlun Realm.

The pursuit lasted for half a day. In the end, the Rakshasa army suffered heavy losses, leaving behind more than 5,000 sacred corpses, and was utterly defeated.

When the final results were tallied, all the saints of the Kunlun Realm were shocked.

In just two or three days, they had already killed five or six thousand Rakshasa Saints, nearly one-tenth of the total number of Saints in the Kunlun Realm. This was nothing short of a miracle.

Everyone understood that this was largely due to Di Yi's efforts.

Such a peerless genius as him is not usually able to clearly see the difference between himself and ordinary cultivators, but in the special environment of the Seven Realms Merit Battle, his role is magnified infinitely.

This is also the main theme of the merit war between the Heavenly Realm and the Hell Realm. The army is the foundation, while the top geniuses are the key to victory or defeat.

A supreme sage king can often determine the outcome of a battlefield of merit.

This is how the first stage of the Ancestral Spirit Realm Merit War was conducted.

At that time, the commander of the Heavenly Court was Yan Yang, the top holy king of the Temple of Merit and a divine disciple, while the leader of the Rakshasa clan was the Bloodwing Prince.

In the fourth year of the war, the Bloodwing Prince killed Yan Yang on the Hunting God Plain, defeating the Heavenly Court's army in one fell swoop and setting the tone for the entire Battlefield of Merit.

The Ancestral Spirit Realm was shattered in just thirty years.

It can be said that the battle between the Bloodwing Grand Prince and Yan Yang had already determined the outcome of the Ancestral Spirit Realm Merit War.

The same is true now.

Emperor Di killed the commander of the Rakshasa Clan's Holy Army, Chongjian Hou, at the start of the war, setting the tone for the battle. If the gap between the two sides had not been so great, the Kunlun Realm would have had more than five thousand Saints.

Of the ten thousand saints of the Rakshasa clan today, no more than five hundred have escaped.

The battle situation on the Battlefield of Merit is transmitted back to Merit Star and the Seven Realms in real time via spatial mirrors. In other words, every battle fought by the Saints of the Seven Realms on the Battlefield of Merit is watched by countless people.

The three-month-long merit war had only been going on for a few days, yet the saints of Kunlun Realm, led by Emperor Yi, had already achieved such tremendous results, surprising even the well-informed experts of the Heavenly Court Realm.

Many great worlds have developed a strong interest in Emperor Yisheng. In their view, even if Kunlun Realm manages to escape this calamity and not become a battlefield for merit, it will inevitably face this fate in the future.

It would be a waste for someone as talented as Di Yi to stay in the Kunlun Realm. If he joined a powerful realm and commanded a million holy troops, he would be able to challenge top-tier geniuses from the Hell Realm like Princess Rakshasa.

A hundred years from now, he may very well rival a powerhouse like the Bloodwing Prince and dominate the outcome of a merit battlefield.

……

Inside the North Mountain camp, Emperor Yi entrusted all matters within the camp to his subordinates, while he himself focused on comprehending the Nine Swords.

The Sword Nine of the Nameless Sword Manual has nine levels. Emperor Yi had already comprehended the first three levels and cultivated Sword Nine to a minor level.

In today's battle, he successfully comprehended the fourth and fifth levels, greatly improving his swordsmanship.

"Indeed, the battlefield, where life and death are the fastest ways to improve. Unfortunately, after this battle, the princess of the Rakshasa clan will probably take notice of me, and it will be extremely difficult to fight a battle like today again."

"The Merit Book Wall of the Northern Continent has not yet appeared, so there is no rush to continue killing the Rakshasa Clan. Let's gather the saints of Kunlun Realm in the Northern Continent together first, so that we have the power to protect ourselves." "Let Wan Canglan and the others handle these matters for now. What I need to do is to break through to the half-step Saint King as soon as possible, and my spiritual power also needs to reach the fifty-fifth level."

Upon entering the World-Stabilizing Banner, Emperor Yi began refining the essence of the divine medicine, attempting to break through to the Half-Step Saint King and Spiritual Power Saint King levels.

Meanwhile, on the Plains of the God of Hunting.

Luo Sha received the battle report from the battle outside the Beishan camp.

"Absurd! Ten thousand marquises were decimated by eight hundred saints from the Kunlun Realm, suffering heavy casualties and being routed. Are all the saints from the Kunlun Realm three-headed and six-armed, capable of fighting a hundred men single-handedly?"

A third-rank marquis of the Rakshasa clan knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and replied, "The eight hundred saints of the Kunlun Realm are not considered particularly strong, but there are two among them who are far too powerful. One shot an arrow from above the clouds, killing a second-rank marquis with a single arrow. The other is even more terrifying; he killed the Heavy Sword Marquis with a single sword strike, and then single-handedly broke through the army formation composed of ten thousand saints."

"One person broke through the army formation composed of ten thousand saints?" Luo Sha frowned slightly upon hearing this, finding it hard to imagine that there would be such a powerful figure in the Seven Realms of Shatuo.

"Which half-step Saint King from the Kunlun Realm broke through to become a Saint King?"

"Your Highness, that person is named Di Yi, and he has not yet broken through to the Saint King Realm."

A strange light flashed in Luo Sha's eyes, "So it was him."

As the supreme commander of the Ancestral Spirit Realm Merit War, Luo Sha naturally had a thorough understanding of the top experts in the Seven Realms of Shatuo.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Zhang Ruochen, the successor of time and space, the fiancé of the god, who defected from the Kunlun Realm and joined the Moon God's envoy in the Guanghan Realm.

The other one is Emperor Yi.

The reason why Di Yi received so much attention from Luo Sha was that, according to the information she had collected, Di Yi was known as the greatest talent in the Kunlun Realm in the past 100,000 years since the Middle Ages, even surpassing Zhang Ruochen, the successor of the Time and Space.

Luo Sha originally thought that Di Yi's reputation was exaggerated and that it was hyped up by cultivators from the Kunlun Realm in order to suppress Zhang Ruochen.

But at this moment, his mind changed.

Perhaps, he truly is an even more stunning prodigy than the successor of time and space, or the fiancé of a god.

Such prodigies must be nipped in the bud before they even grow up.

"He killed the Heavy Sword Marquis with a single sword strike. His strength is terrifying and comparable to that of a second-step Saint King. If he makes another breakthrough in the Battle of Merit and reaches the Saint King realm, even a third-step Saint King might not be his match."

"Black Feather, convey my orders: have all armies below the rank of Marquis immediately withdraw from the Ancestral Spirit Realm. Also, have Emperor Feng summon three million Rakshasa Marquises into the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and then transfer ten... no, twenty First-Class Marquises here."

Black Feather was an old man from the Rakshasa clan, standing beside Luo Sha.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

Luo Sha pondered for a moment, then added, "Let's borrow a few more people from my brother's Imperial Saint Camp, people who can break through to the Saint King realm at any time."

"Sealing off the Imperial Camp? Isn't this going too far?" Black Feather was quite surprised.

The Imperial Guard is the personal guard of Luo Shengtian, the son of Luo Sha, the divine emperor of the Tianluo Divine Kingdom.

The top talents are selected and trained from the entire Tianluo Divine Kingdom, and the number has always been maintained at three hundred.

Among them, no more than twenty are still at the Saint Realm. They are all young emperors who can challenge the sons and daughters of gods and have the potential to become gods in the future.

"Better safe than sorry. This time, I will annihilate all the million saints of the Seven Realms of Shatuo within the Ancestral Spirit Realm."

"Go and do it quickly. This princess wants to meet the number one person in the Kunlun Realm in the past 100,000 years first."

The Rakshasa saints retreated, and Luo Sha transformed herself, concealing her Rakshasa characteristics, and became the Realm Child of the Great Demon Ten Directions Realm, the Spirit Flame Demon Queen.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Half a year has passed inside the Dingshi Banner.

Di Yi, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly stood up, his aura becoming much stronger.

"Is this what a half-step Saint King is? He is indeed completely different from a Supreme Saint."

Emperor Yi summoned the Heaven-Sealing Sword and practiced a set of sword techniques, feeling great.

"After breaking through to the half-step Saint King level, I am now strong enough to fight against a three-step Saint King. Unfortunately, my mental strength is still a step behind, and I have not been able to break through to the fifty-fifth level."

Stepping out of the Dingshi Banner, the North Mountain Camp had been completely transformed, with over six thousand Kunlun Realm Saints gathered there.

Upon receiving news that Di Yi had emerged from seclusion, Wan Canglan and the others rushed over immediately.

"You've finally emerged from seclusion. The Merit Book Wall of the Northern Continent has appeared. It's located in a Great Sage's ruins, 300,000 miles away from the Northern Mountain Camp. However, it's blocked by an array, so no one can get close yet."

Wan Canglan brought important news as soon as he appeared.

"The merit book wall has finally appeared."

Upon hearing this, Di Yi was also pleasantly surprised. If all the Rakshasa Clan's holy souls and blood they had collected were converted into merit points, they should have thirty to forty million.

However, it will only take effect if you find the merit book wall and complete the exchange.

Otherwise, no matter how many remnant souls and blood are collected, they will not increase merit points by a single point.

"How long has the Merit Book Wall appeared? What movements have the Rakshasa clan made?"

"Three days ago, a half-step Saint King from the Purple Mansion Realm accidentally discovered the Merit Book Wall in the Daoist Temple of the Great Sage Xuan Yuan."

"The Great Sage Xuan Yuan is the number one person in the Ancestral Spirit Realm in terms of spiritual power. His spiritual power cultivation is as high as the sixty-eighth level. He is a formation master at the level of a king of the sea and land. There is a ninth-grade formation left by him in the dojo. Although the sacred veins and spiritual veins of the Ancestral Spirit Realm are exhausted and the power of the formation is greatly reduced, no one has been able to break into it or approach the wall of merit in a short period of time."

"The Rakshasa clan has mobilized more than 50,000 saints to head towards the Xuan Yuan Great Saint's dojo, and has already begun to seal off the area around the dojo."

"You have been in seclusion, and apart from sending a few teams to investigate the situation, we have not taken any rash actions."

"In addition, the Purple Mansion Realm, the Blade Prison Realm, and the Guanghan Realm have all sent envoys, wanting to join forces with us, but I have temporarily declined them all. We will make a decision after you come out of seclusion."

The Emperor nodded, approving of Wan Canglan's actions.

The Seven Realms Merit War, seemingly a major battle between the seven realms of Shatuo and the Rakshasa clan, is in fact a contest between eight directions.

The cultivators of the Kunlun Realm not only have to be wary of the Rakshasa Clan, but also of the cultivators from the other six realms.

"The matter of the Merit Book Wall is of great importance. Martial Saint Canglan, I will go ahead to investigate the situation. You and Bu Qianfan will lead five thousand saints to follow me and be at my command at any time. Leave one thousand saints behind to guard the North Mountain Camp with the Goddess of Fate and Clan Chief Shi Qiankun."

"The rest of the cultivators, those who have reached the True Saint Realm, may act separately, but should not leave the camp by more than 500,000 miles. They should communicate with each other daily using communication talismans, and seek help in time if they encounter insurmountable danger."

Di Yi ordered.

None of the saints had any objections to this; the previous two battles had already made them completely convinced of Emperor Yi's authority.

A moment later, Di Yi received the intelligence gathered by the saints of Kunlun Realm over the past half month from Wan Canglan, and then set off.

……

Xuan Yuan Da Sheng was a Xuan Turtle who had lived for tens of thousands of years in the Northern Mang Sea of ​​the Ancestral Spirit Realm. He died in battle on the Starry Sky Battlefield fifteen years ago, and his body was never found.

It is said that only two pieces of tortoise shell were left behind and taken back by the God of Hunting, who buried them in Xuan Yuan Mountain.

Thirty years ago, the Ancestral Spirit Realm had fifty-eight Great Saints and one Deity.

Now, they have all perished in the starry sky.

Only a few, like the Great Sage Xuan Yuan, are able to leave behind some remains and be buried back in their mother realm.

After traveling and stopping frequently, it took Di Yi a whole day to finally arrive outside Xuan Yuan Mountain.

This is a strangely shaped, enormous mountain peak, resembling a black tortoise, which conforms to the rules of heaven and earth.

It looks quite extraordinary.

At the foot of the mountain, cultivators from the Purple Mansion Realm, Blade Prison Realm, and Guanghan Realm gathered in large numbers, confronting the Holy Realm army of the Rakshasa Clan.
