Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

Chapter 262 Ancient Realm, Explodes!

“Rumble——!!!”

The roar between heaven and earth grew more and more intense, and the tremors of the ancient realm were like the end of the world!

Lava gushed from the cracks in the earth, and collapsing mountains crashed down on the crowd. Countless people cried out and fled in chaos!
Even the saints of various races showed extreme fear, and they did their best to open up the protective shield, barely managing to resist the ever-spreading aftershocks of energy!
"Xiao Jibai, come! Although this is our first meeting, today's battle will be a fight to the death!"

The Soul Emperor stood in the center of the Emperor-Slaying Formation, his maniacal laughter resounding throughout the heavens and earth. He would never let Xiao Jibai go; if he wasn't killed today, it would surely cause great trouble in the future!
The power within the formation, formed from the blood of fifty million descendants, surged into his body like a raging sea of ​​blood!
A ferocious look appeared on the face of the Soul Emperor.

Even with his physique as a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, he couldn't withstand this violent power, causing his veins to bulge and his skin to crack with fine bloodstains!
But this extreme pain was instantly crushed by greed and madness for the Sword Emperor's inheritance!

He suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot, and roared deafeningly in Su Yun's direction: "Emperor-Slaying Formation - Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade!"

"Tear-!"

All the crimson power within the Emperor-Slaying Formation converged with a roar, condensing into a blood-red longsword spanning most of the ancient realm in the sky!
Countless vengeful ghosts roared and entwined on the long blade, and the bloody aura and killing intent emanating from the blade caused the temperature of the entire ancient realm to plummet!
This is the unparalleled ultimate skill of the Soul Clan's ancestor, the Soul Emperor—the Emperor-Slaying Ghost Blood Blade!
The Soul Clan is the oldest of the eight ancient clans, and they personally experienced the era when two emperors appeared at the same time!

This Ghost Blood Blade was the trump card that the Soul Emperor used to kill his rival Dou Di back then. Its power was enough to split the heavens and earth and cut down the Emperor Realm!
“Ahhhhh——!”

On the other side, Gu Yuan let out a painful roar. He gritted his teeth and poured all his fighting spirit into the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame without reservation, and even his own life force was burning rapidly!
In an instant, all the runes on the ancient realm's spatial barrier lit up simultaneously, like a sky full of stars!

"Wow—!"

With the blessing of runes, the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame erupted with a magnificent golden light that could illuminate the entire sky. The flames transformed into a golden fire phoenix that blotted out the sun and sky, shrieking as it charged toward Su Yun!

"kill!"

Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan roared simultaneously, and two world-destroying attacks, one black and one gold, fell down towards Su Yun's location!

"Oops!"

As the two attacks, imbued with the power to destroy the world, crashed down, Xiao Xuan's remnant soul fluctuated violently, his face instantly turning deathly pale, and Xiao Yan's heart plummeted to the bottom.

The power of two Dou Di level beings is earth-shattering. Even with the Sword Emperor's backup plan, it's probably impossible to stop them!

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble, making so many preparations to deal with me."

Just as Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yan were filled with anxiety, Su Yun's voice was as calm as an ancient pool.

In stark contrast to their panic, a meaningful smile even appeared on his lips.

The Soul Emperor keenly noticed this smile, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

Why could he still laugh at such a life-or-death situation?
In a daze, the Soul Emperor seemed to sense something.

He had seen that kind of smile before; it was even incredibly familiar to him.

In the past, this smile always appeared on his own face, a smile of absolute control, a sense of certainty, that everything was in his hands, that your actions were exactly as he had predicted!

But the current situation is a perfect plan he has been scheming for a long time!
The Emperor-Slaying Formation, powered by the bloodlines of fifty million descendants, and the Ancient Emperor Formation used by Gu Yuan, combine the power of the two emperors to besiege the Sword Emperor's backup plan!

Every step was under his control; how could Xiao Jibai possibly have predicted it!
Before the Soul Emperor could ponder this strange sense of incongruity, he saw Su Yun raise his hand and gently pinch.

"Crack——!"

The Sword Emperor's jade slip, which he had held tightly for so long yet remained intact, shattered quietly at this moment, turning into countless golden specks of light!

“Clang, clang, clang—!”

A clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out, spreading throughout the ancient realm like heavenly music!

Immediately afterwards, a streak of azure sword light quietly bloomed from the point of light.

Surprisingly, there was no earth-shattering sword intent, nor any overwhelming power to annihilate everything.

Instead, it's like the first gentle breeze of spring, or the soft light of the rising sun, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze, without sensing any threat.

Yet this seemingly harmless sword light caused Soul Emperor and Gu Yuan to freeze, a chilling feeling suddenly rising in their hearts.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—!" Suddenly, the Blood-Slaying Emperor Blade trembled violently in mid-air, emitting a buzzing sound like a mournful cry!
The vengeful spirits that were originally wrapped around the blade struggled wildly, as if suppressed by an invisible force, and curled up into a ball!
Even the scarlet blade dimmed at a visible speed, and its former sharpness, which could cut down a Dou Di, was now completely gone!
"This, this is..."

The Soul Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted as an absurd yet incredibly clear thought surged into his mind.

Fear! The Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer is filled with fear!

But how is this possible!

Both being at the Dou Di level, even if the Sword Emperor has a stronger backup plan, the Demon Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer should still rise up and challenge him, showing its indomitable will!
How could it be afraid? How dare it be afraid!
Just as the Soul Emperor was in chaos, Gu Yuan also encountered an extremely terrifying change.

"How is this going?!"

Gu Yuan looked terrified and gripped the fighting spirit that controlled the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame tightly, but the scorching sensation from his palms became more and more violent!
The golden flame that had been docile and obedient to him was now like a wild beast that had gone out of control, rampaging wildly inside his body!

The scorching flames spread along his meridians, as if they were going to burn his body to ashes!
Not only was the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame unwilling to face that sword light, but it even showed signs of turning against its master!

"It was you! It must have been you?!"

Gu Yuan looked up and glared at Su Yun, his eyes filled with resentment and fear. Soul Emperor also composed himself and fixed his cold gaze on Su Yun.

Su Yun said calmly, "You're not so stupid as to be beyond redemption."

"What kind of method is this?!"

The Soul Emperor coldly questioned.

Su Yun slowly recited, his voice like the tolling of an ancient bell, echoing in every corner of the ancient realm: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs; the sage is ruthless, treating the people as straw dogs."

If all people live in accordance with the Way, the world will be in order, where will great thieves come from, and what need will there be for sages! If sages are dead, then great thieves will not arise, and the world will be peaceful and without trouble! If sages do not die, then great thieves will not cease!

The peril of the Beastmen is a calamity for the Human Race; the peril of the Imperial Race is a second calamity for the Human Race; the birth of the Fighting Emperor, with his rule devoid of benevolence and righteousness, is a great calamity for the Human Race!

The beastmen ravaged the land, so I slayed them with demon-slaying; the imperial clans ruled with tyranny, so I vanquished them with star-annihilation; the battle emperors were wicked, so I vanquished them with the light of dawn—thus the Sword Emperor's Three Absolute Techniques earned his name!

Su Yun gripped the azure sword light tightly and said softly, "Sword name: Dawn Light. Born of an emperor, it is also meant to slay emperors."

This sword is specifically designed to slay Dou Di (Battle Emperors)!

The moment the words left his mouth, the calm on Su Yun's face vanished completely, replaced by icy coldness.

"Boom--!"

The sword intent surrounding him erupted like a dormant volcano. An invisible sword pressure spread out, causing fine cracks to appear throughout the entire ancient realm!
"go with!"

Su Yun let out a low shout, and the azure sword intent, like the first ray of light at dawn, slashed down fiercely from the sky!
"Sword Technique - Dawn!"

The sword intent transformed into a long, azure rainbow that stretched across the heavens and earth, tearing space into a pitch-black abyss wherever it passed!
The three Emperor-level powers collided with a deafening roar!

"Tear-!"

The Blood-Slaying Demon Blade was torn to shreds as easily as a fragile piece of paper! The Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame was also dimmed, and the golden fire phoenix turned into a sky full of sparks under the impact of the sword intent!
"How...how could there be such a vicious sword technique!"

Gu Yuan's eyes were filled with fear. This kind of sword technique shouldn't even exist!

However, what enraged him even more was yet to come!

The power of the Morning Light Sword Intent did not stop there!
Even after tearing apart two Emperor-level attacks, the sword intent's power remained undiminished, striking straight into the core of the ancient realm with overwhelming force!

The next second, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded!

It wasn't a small part of the area that collapsed, nor was half of the land shattered, and it certainly wasn't most of the ancient boundary that was destroyed.

The entire ancient realm, like shattered glass, exploded under the impact of this sword intent!

"Boom—!!!"
