Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 216 Unrivaled Ferocity
Having received Luo Sha's order, the Holy Arrow Marquis led ten thousand Rakshasa Marquises toward Xuan Yuan Mountain.

Outside the mountain, overlapping formations formed a complete defensive line, but strangely, no one was in charge of the formations, and all the Rakshasa Marquises seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Passing through the array of light, one is met with a scene of utter devastation: ruins, collapsed mountains, and crisscrossing cracks in the ground, silently recounting everything that had happened here, as if it were the end of the world.

Further on, a strong smell of blood filled the air. After crossing a hill, a scene appeared on the hillside ahead that would be unforgettable for the Holy Arrow Marquis.

The ten-mile-long slope was littered with the corpses of Rakshasa marquises, their holy blood flowing down the slope to the bottom, forming a river of blood.

The densely packed corpses still emanated a demonic aura, indicating they had died not long ago.

Amidst the sea of ​​corpses, hundreds of human saints traversed the area, collecting sacred artifacts, sacred sources, and naturally, sacred blood and remnant souls were not overlooked, each one representing merit points.

This scene made the Holy Arrow Marquis gasp. Even during the first phase of the Merit War, the Rakshasa Clan had never suffered such a loss at once.

Fifty thousand marquises were reduced to ashes. Even the gods of the Rakshasa tribe would be enraged if they saw this scene.

The Holy Arrow Marquis's gaze fell upon the hill above, lingering on a very abrupt figure.

The man was dressed in a black robe and cloak, and his figure was ordinary. Compared to the imposing physique of the Rakshasa clan, he appeared even smaller.

But that person just stood there, and even though his power was restrained, the invisible blood aura exerted immense pressure on the Holy Arrow Marquis from a distance of more than ten miles away.

This feeling was something that the Holy Arrow Marquis had only experienced with those powerful Holy Kings of the Rakshasa Clan who had mastered the art of physical cultivation.

But the current Ancestral Spirit Realm only allows cultivators below the Saint King level to enter. How could such a powerful figure appear in Xuan Yuan Mountain?
This is completely illogical. Could it be that the remaining Saint King realm cultivators from the Ancestral Spirit Realm are still alive?
A bad feeling arose in the heart of the Holy Arrow Marquis, and he wanted to retreat immediately. With the ten thousand Rakshasa Marquises behind him, he was confident that he could escape unscathed even if he faced a Saint King.

But just then, a deafening explosion came from behind him.

Looking back, he saw one Rakshasa Marquis after another rushing out from all sides, charging into the Rakshasa army like madmen. The Holy Arrow Marquis recognized them.

They are the top experts in the Azure Beast Army, and even the weakest among them has the cultivation level of a Supreme Saint.

At this moment, these elite warriors of the Rakshasa clan charged into his army one by one, detonating their sacred sources in a suicide attack to perish together with him.

"They've gone mad, absolutely mad! The entire Blue Beast Army has gone mad."

Marquis Saint Arrow was terrified and dared not linger any longer. He immediately fled towards the outside of Xuan Yuan Mountain, and had no intention of caring about the ten thousand Rakshasa Marquises he had brought with him.

The destructive shockwaves of self-destruction echoed in his ears until he broke through the array's light barrier, at which point the Holy Arrow Marquis finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, without looking back, he charged towards the Rakshasa army in the distance.

Luo Sha stood at the forefront of the army and saw the panicked Holy Arrow Marquis in the distance. His expression turned solemn.

"What exactly happened in Xuan Yuan Mountain?"

She has always been a master strategist, and in the past thirty years, she has dominated the battlefield of merit in the Ancestral Spirit Realm, defeating the Holy Army of the Heavenly Court Realm.

I have never felt as disheveled and helpless as I have these past few days.

It's like being in the dark, with so many unknowns ahead.

"Whoosh!"

A beam of white light flew out from Xuan Yuan Mountain at incredible speed, covering a distance of a hundred miles in an instant, and pierced through the body of the Holy Arrow Marquis from behind.

A terrifying power emanated from the White Sun Arrow, shattering the Holy Arrow Marquis's sacred soul.

A first-class marquis, a master archer, died from an arrow.

Upon seeing this, the Rakshasa army was filled with murderous intent, and their fighting spirit materialized.

Guided by Luo Sha, they located the familiar figure emerging from the mountains.

Di Yi held the Azure Sky Bow in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the White Sun Arrow flew back and landed in his palm.

He looked at Luo Sha, who stood alone before the ninety thousand marquises of the Rakshasa clan, yet remained calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Princess Luo Sha, you are too late. All the Rakshasa Marquises in the mountains have already become victims of my sword."

Emperor Yi took out the merit book wall, placed it beside him, and then infused it with the collected holy blood and holy soul of the Rakshasa Marquis, exchanging it for merit points.

In an instant, the merit points of the Kunlun Realm began to grow rapidly again, and soon exceeded one hundred million. Dense blood light rose from the merit book wall, illuminating the surrounding dozens of miles.

Surrounding Luo Sha, several first-class marquises were filled with murderous intent. Di Yi exchanging merit points in front of them was an intolerable provocation to the Rakshasa clan. Only by eating their flesh, sleeping on their skin, crushing their bones, and refining their souls could they vent their hatred.

“Your Highness, I request permission to fight,” said Marquis Yan Lin, a first-class marquis.

Luo Sha stopped her. She could tell that the aura emanating from Di Yi was much stronger than it had been a few days ago. It was no longer something that the Saint Realm Rakshasa Marquis could contend with, and even a First-Class Marquis would not be a match for him.

"I, the princess, have come with a large army. Why should I fight him one-on-one? Form a battle formation and launch an attack with the Myriad Pattern Sacred Artifact."

After Emperor Yi exchanged all the remnants of Rakshasa souls and holy blood he had collected, the merit value of the Kunlun Realm on the merit book wall broke through 400 million in one go, completely crushing the other six realms.

The total merit points of the Six Realms are still less than a fraction of those of the Kunlun Realm.

After putting away the merit book wall, Di Yi raised his eyes to look at the Rakshasa army that had formed a battle formation. He did not choose to retreat. He put away the merit book wall, activated the Hundred Saints Blood Armor, put on the Fire God Gauntlets, and held the Heaven-Sealing Sword in his hand.

"The holy army of the Rakshasa clan, let us slaughter them to our hearts' content today."

Dozens of myriad-patterned sacred artifacts flew out from the Rakshasa army, descending with perfect power, intending to pulverize Di Yi into a bloody pulp. Even fourth- or fifth-step Saint Kings would have to temporarily avoid such an attack, daring not to confront it head-on.

Emperor Yi used the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique, moving with speed as fast as chasing stars and the moon, passing through the gaps between the myriad-patterned sacred artifacts. Instead of retreating, he advanced, alone with his sword, directly attacking the Rakshasa army.

Standing on the white bone command platform, Luo Sha was shocked to see this scene: "Has he gone mad? How dare he charge into the army all by himself?"

Upon seeing this, Marquis Yanlin was overjoyed and excitedly said, "Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. Let me go and kill him. With the support of the army, I am sure to win."

Luo Sha narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and nodded: "You all work together and make sure to kill him."

"Yes!"

Beside her, a total of seventeen first-class and second-class marquises set off, each leading eighty elite Rakshasa marquises, forming the Nine-Nine-in-One Formation.

The seventeen Nine-Nine-in-One Formation, comparable to seventeen Saint King-level powerhouses, attacked Emperor Yi from all directions.

These seventeen powerful individuals were all elite members of the Rakshasa clan who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. None of them were weak and they were able to unleash the full power of the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation.

"Join forces to kill him."

Marquis Yanlin unleashed a battle weapon of the Ten Thousand Pattern Saint Artifact level, gathering the power of eighty-one Saints and pushing it to its limit, striking at Di Yiyi in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

"I killed the Holy Arrow Marquis with a single arrow, and you still dare to attack me? Are all the first-class marquises of the Rakshasa clan brainless idiots?"

Emperor Yi stepped with divine steps, his whole body as agile as a golden crow. After cultivating the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique to the intermediate level of the Saint Technique, once he used it, his whole body seemed to transform into a golden crow into a rainbow, with incredible speed and agility, making it impossible for ordinary attacks to get close.

Although the Rakshasa army was formidable, without top experts to command it, it could not unleash the full power of a holy army. The myriad-patterned holy artifacts it unleashed were powerful, but they could hardly pose a real threat to Emperor Yi.

The Hundred Saints Blood Armor was activated with its third layer of power, and the soul shadows of a hundred high-level saints were added to Di Yi's body. He then slashed his sword at Yan Linhou.

"Boom!"

The void vibrates.

The Myriad Pattern Sacred Artifact unleashed by Marquis Yanlin was cleaved dozens of miles away by the Heaven-Sealing Sword. The world before him was shrouded in sword energy, and the sword's profound energy pierced through the Nine-Nine Return to One Formation, instantly killing more than half of the Rakshasa Clan Marquises.

Without the support of the formation, even a first-class marquis could be easily subdued in his presence.

The sword energy converged to form a three-zhang-long sword-dao profound energy, which drew upon the spiritual and sacred energy of the entire world, making it incomparably sharp.

Emperor Yi strode forward and caught up with Marquis Yan Lin, who had already fled ten miles away: "Now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

He stretched out a hand, and instantly, the phantom of the dragon and elephant extended out, condensing into an illusory palm above Yan Linhou's head.

"Boom!"

The palm, imbued with the power of a dragon and an elephant, descended, instantly blasting Yan Linhou, who was flying in mid-air, into a cloud of blood mist.

A giant handprint, over forty feet long, appeared on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

After swiftly killing Marquis Yan Lin, Emperor Yi turned and charged towards the other sixteen Nine-Nine Returning to One Formation.

The Hundred Saints Blood Armor provided a strong defense, and the Vulcan Gauntlets were indestructible. Emperor Yi simply put away the Heaven-Sealing Sword and used his extremely powerful physical strength to push forward.

The two first-class marquises of the Rakshasa clan attacked Di Yi from the left and right, but their chests were pierced by the Fire God Gauntlets. The Purifying Divine Fire swept up and in the blink of an eye, only two skeletons remained, falling to the ground.

"The Physical Saint King, he is not a saint, but his physical body has broken through to the Saint King realm. We are no match for him."

After the fall of three first-class marquises, the marquises of the Rakshasa clan finally realized that the current Emperor was no match for them.

Luo Sha's expression was also grim. He released his level 55 spiritual power and personally led the Rakshasa army, guiding the unleashing of countless holy artifacts with myriad patterns, preventing Di Yi from continuing to attack and kill the remaining Rakshasa marquises.

Before the Myriad Pattern Sacred Artifact could be struck, Di Yi's figure disappeared from the spot. He stopped pursuing the remaining fourteen Nine-Nine Return to One Formation and rushed towards the White Bone Command Platform where Luo Sha was located like a meteor.

The saying goes, "To shoot a man, first shoot his horse; to capture a thief, first capture his king."

Killing more Rakshasa Marquises is not as useful as capturing Luo Sha, the commander.

"Emperor Yi, today I, the princess, will make you die here."

Luo Sha flew up from the white bone command platform, his voice cold and sharp.

A dazzling holy light flew out from her palm, unleashing nine layers of destructive power, aiming to suppress and kill everything.

It is an eighth-grade talisman, the Python King Talisman, capable of suppressing and killing a Holy King, and one of Luo Sha's trump cards.

Emperor Yi's blood and qi surged like a rainbow, supporting the Heavenly Demon Saint Form, its ferocity overwhelming.

He unleashed the eleventh move of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, Dragon Elephant Reaching the Heavens, piercing through eight layers of destructive force in succession.

He withstood the ninth level of destructive force with his bare body, scattering the destructive power of the Python King Talisman.

Seeing this, Luo Sha cast several defensive talismans, drawing upon the evil energy of the Rakshasa army to protect him. Hundreds of layers of evil clouds gathered, their chilling aura freezing the void itself.

But she couldn't stop Di Yi at all, and could only watch helplessly as Di Yi's gauntlets pierced through layer after layer of defense and slammed towards her head.
