Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 229 Even the most talented are but a handful of dust

Twenty-seven layers of snow looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy with a handsome face and an appearance that did not match the ugliness of the Rakshasa men. His holy path was cold as ice, but he gave people a feeling of being kind and warm-hearted. He was well-known in both the Rakshasa clan and the Fenghuang Holy Camp.

Luo Shengtian once received twelve divine throne planets from Emperor Luo Yan. He refined the two most powerful ones into his own eyes, and the remaining ten divine throne planets were given to his followers in the Fenghuang Holy Camp. Among them, the twenty-seventh Chongxue was the only Saint Realm cultivator.

The disheveled hair at his temples and the blood flowing from his lips revealed the injuries he had sustained and his current disheveled state. He was no longer the Rakshasa prodigy that everyone praised.

Di Yi's gaze fell on Twenty-Seven Snow. After obtaining the inheritance of the Ice and Fire Phoenix, the only ones in the entire Ancestral Spirit Realm who could pose a threat to him were Luo Sha, who had a noble status and endless trump cards, and Twenty-Seven Snow, who had refined the God Throne Planet.

The moment Di Yi appeared, Twenty-Seven Snow understood that the person before her had made another great breakthrough in cultivation, and his strength had reached a level that was despair-inducing, making him impossible to contend with using ordinary means.

The appearance of the Five Elements Thunder Seal, activated by Emperor Yi to deal with the Rakshasa Clan cultivators, proves that Lei Xiao is completely dead and that his protective sacred artifacts have changed hands.

Feng Liudao had been struck by the aftershocks of the Five Elements Thunder Seal, causing his internal organs to shift within his body. He felt a sense of despair. Not to mention fighting against Emperor Yi at this moment, even the aftershocks from one of Emperor Yi's holy artifacts had nearly cost him his life.

Upon hearing Di Yi's words, Feng Liudao stood up, ready to fight to the death, even if it meant using his divine powers, to engage in a fierce battle like Lei Xiao's.

Twenty-seven Snow took out a halberd, held it with one hand, and blocked Feng Liudao with the halberd horizontally. She said in a deep voice, "You don't even have the Cloud Ferocious Battle Diagram in your hand. How can you fight him? His strength is too strong now. Even if you use the Divine Transmission Technique, you won't last more than ten moves. Go and inform Her Highness the Princess to withdraw the troops immediately. The Rakshasa Clan can no longer continue this battle. I will hold him off."

Twenty-seven layers of snow shifted their gaze from Feng Liudao to Di Yi, a powerful force surging within them. Their fighting spirit clashed with the descending gaze, and the space within a hundred feet erupted with the sounds of wind and thunder.

"Emperor Yi, from the Heavenly Luo Divine Kingdom, the Twenty-Seven Snows, under the Divine Emperor's Prince, have come to challenge you!"

Di Yi said calmly, "The Rakshasa Clan is truly full of hidden talents. I thought Lei Xiao was already the strongest Rakshasa in the Ancestral Spirit Realm because he risked his life to use the Divine Connection Technique. It seems that when you use the Divine Connection Technique, the combat power you unleash will be even higher than his. It's not just the Divine Connection Technique, is it that planet in your Qi Sea?"

The Divine Communication Technique is a secret method to communicate with ancient deities, summoning the thoughts of the gods scattered throughout the world to empower oneself, burning one's essence, energy, and spirit, thereby unleashing ten times one's own combat power in a short period of time.

Within the Qi Sea of ​​the Twenty-Seventh Snow is a divine throne planet originating from the gods, containing the vast power of the gods. Connecting to the divine throne planet using the Divine Communication Technique allows one to directly draw divine power into the body, which is far more powerful than directly using the Divine Communication Technique.

But this is a suicidal tactic. How could a mere Saint King possibly control the power of a deity? Even ordinary Great Saints couldn't do it.

When divine power enters the body, the final result will only be annihilation.

Twenty-seven layers of snow had given up hope of escaping and regarded Di Yi as their greatest enemy. They were willing to perish together with him to kill Di Yi in the Phoenix Nest, thus creating an opportunity for Feng Liudao, Princess Luo Sha, and the Rakshasa army.

The snow-covered divine throne planet flew out from his dantian, radiating a dazzling divine light that had never been displayed before. His tone was firm: "By borrowing the power of the Frost Ancient Monarch's divine throne planet, today I will eliminate you, this great enemy, for the Rakshasa Clan."

"Feng Liudao, you go first."

Wan Zhaoyi, Jiutian Xuannv, and others felt immense pressure from Twenty-Seven Snow. At this moment, Twenty-Seven Snow was even stronger than Wan Zhaoyi, who had activated the Heavenly Mandate Talisman. Even a fifth- or sixth-step Saint King might not be able to confront her head-on.

Di Yi greatly admired the spirit of Twenty-Seven Snow, who was willing to die for his country, and also respected true heroes like Lei Xiao and Twenty-Seven Snow.

But since they've become adversaries and enemies, it's best to eliminate these promising talents with unlimited potential as soon as possible.

Di Yi glanced at the two people in front of him, showing no fear of the floating divine throne planet. Even if a three-year-old child possesses divine power, he is still a child and does not know how to use it.

"I admire your courage, and it's worth my full support to see you off."

Before Emperor Yi finished speaking, his figure had already moved. His Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what the eye could capture. All that could be seen was a line streaking across the void. At first, there was only one line, then ten, a hundred, and thousands upon thousands of lines...

When speed reaches its extreme, it can destroy everything.

In Feng Liudao's eyes, all he saw were countless lines crisscrossing like a chessboard, like warp and weft, piercing through the sacred body of the twenty-seven layers of snow.

All those divine techniques and divine planets become mere decorations in the face of extreme speed, utterly useless.

Di Yi's figure materialized behind Twenty-Seven Snowfalls, his black robes fluttering, and a crystal-clear, dazzling Holy Source appeared in his palm.

Di Yi strode toward Feng Liudao. The world behind him was crumbling. A gust of wind blew by, and the moment it touched the twenty-seven layers of snow, his proud and upright body scattered like yellow sand. It was as if he was originally a clay sculpture, now dried up and eroded into flying sand by the wind.

Feng Liudao stumbled backward, completely losing the courage to fight Di Yi, his Dao heart shattered.

He was incredibly fast, and his greatest strength was his agility; his instinct was to flee.

But there was no way to escape. He had only managed to get a few dozen feet away when Di Yi caught up with him and smashed his head with a single palm strike amidst the panic.

His body was smashed into a pool of blood and gore, lying limp on the ground, his holy aura rapidly dissipating, devoid of any life force. The saints of the Kunlun Realm fell into a deathly silence; they were too shocked. This was not an equal battle; it was a complete massacre.

"He was simply a god of war, the god of war of the Kunlun Realm." Bu Qianfan's eyes widened, he simply couldn't believe that the Twenty-Sevenfold Snow and Wind Six Paths, who had just been so arrogant and wanted to wipe out all the experts of the Kunlun Realm, had died like this.

That was too easy for them to die.

The shadow of the Heavenly Demon emerged from beneath Emperor Yi's feet, put away the divine throne planet and battle halberd left behind by the Twenty-Seven Snows, and walked toward the saints of the Kunlun Realm, saying, "The Seven Realms Merit War has gone on for so long, it's time to end it. Let's go, follow me to gather the saint army of the Kunlun Realm and fight the Rakshasa Clan."

Di Yi's true form released his spiritual power to search for the Rakshasa cultivators inside the Phoenix Nest. Luo Sha and Yue Jian were still inside the Phoenix Nest, making it a good opportunity to completely capture them.

……

At the location of the sundial, Zhang Ruochen killed the last Rakshasa Marquis. The Rakshasa remnant souls and holy blood he collected were enough for him to exchange for the last missing piece of merit points.

His ranking on the list of saints' merits has risen to first place, surpassing that of the celestial maiden from the Thousand Star Civilization.

He looked at the sundial not far away, enveloped by the power of time, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

There are many time-space treasures in the Kunlun Realm, and after arriving in the Heavenly Court, one also sees quite a few space treasures, but pure time treasures are very rare.

"There are actually time-related treasures inside the Phoenix Nest? It's a pity that the time power around here is too strong, making it impossible to get close enough to collect them."

As he was pondering this, the power of time near the sundial began to gradually weaken and soon dissipated completely.

"How is this going."

Zhang Ruochen was puzzled, not understanding why the power of time near the sundial had suddenly dissipated.

Within the Qi Sea, the Time and Space Manual exhibited a subtle reaction.

"The fact that this artifact of time can evoke a response from the Book of Time and Space suggests that it is related to the Venerable Monk Sumeru."

Zhang Ruochen stepped forward and, without encountering anything unusual, easily retrieved the sundial, making the corpses of the Rakshasa Marquis lying all around him all the more ironic.

In the darkness in the distance, Han Qiu saw Zhang Ruochen collect the sundial and wanted to snatch it. He felt that this time-related treasure was extraordinary and wanted to take it to present to Di Yi, but was stopped by A Le.

"Don't you think it's strange that the time power around that time treasure naturally dissipated as soon as Zhang Ruochen arrived? It's as if it was placed here specifically to wait for Zhang Ruochen's arrival," A-Le whispered.

"Is it really that mysterious? I think he just got lucky and happened to encounter a time when the power of time was exhausted, so he picked up a bargain," Han Qiu said.

Ah Le shook his head: "Have you forgotten that Zhang Ruochen is a successor of time and space? A sundial is an instrument used to tell time in human civilization. I have only seen one sundial-style time artifact in ancient books, which was the time artifact in the hands of the Holy Monk Sumeru 100,000 years ago."

“Zhang Ruochen is the successor of the Holy Monk Sumeru and the third spacetime controller in the Kunlun Realm. I suspect that only he could take the sundial and only he could find a way to use it,” A-Le said quietly.

Han Qiu frowned slightly and said coldly, "According to you, isn't there an invisible hand in this world that can make any treasure fall into whose hands it wants?"

"An invisible hand?" Ale gave a slightly awkward smile and said, "Perhaps. My master once told me that the world itself is a chessboard, and the process of cultivation is the transformation from a chess piece to a chess player. Aren't you, me, and all the saints of the Seven Realms of Shatuo just chess pieces in the hands of the gods of the Heavenly Court right now?"

"What the hall master said? Then you are right." Han Qiu never liked to think about questions that did not help improve his cultivation. When he came to his senses and looked again, Zhang Ruochen had already put away the sundial and walked far away. It was too late to try to snatch it back.

"What are you doing here?"

Di Yi's voice suddenly rang out from all around.

Han Qiu and A Le were both delighted to hear this. Although they had great confidence in Di Yi's strength, they couldn't help but feel worried after he had been missing for so long.

"Where is Young Master Lingquan? Could he have been rescued by the Rakshasa Clan?" Di Yi asked, not seeing Young Master Lingquan.

"The Rakshasa clan sent a group of experts to rescue him. He tried to escape, but I used the dark power left behind by the hall master to kill him. However, it was not a waste, as I have absorbed the divine essence of his true god body."

"Is he dead? Fine, we've searched the Phoenix Nest but haven't found any trace of Luo Sha. Let's go, come with me and leave this place to end this battle for the merits of the Seven Realms Saints."
