While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 401 Suppressing Demons, Harvest

At the summit of Blood Demon Mountain, the white-haired youth ignored the countless prying eyes cast upon him. Crimson light surged around him, then condensed into a blood-red robe that clung to his body.

He parted his lips slightly, and the pile of blood-red eggshells beneath him transformed into streaks of blood-red light, which he then absorbed into his stomach.

After doing all this, the young man with bloodshot eyes slowly turned towards Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing, his tone indifferent as ice: "Speaking of which, I should thank you two. If it weren't for your relentless pressure, the power of the Blood Abyss would have been used by that group of trash to enhance the strength of our clansmen. If I wanted to break out of my shell and be born, I would have to wait at least another hundred years."

Although he had just hatched, he had already devoured the essence of countless members of his race, and the sacrifice of the Great Blood Demon King had also irrigated and paved the way for him. As a result, all of the Great Blood Demon King's memories were now his.

The Blood Abyss in Blood Demon Mountain was created by the Blood Evil Clan using the blood of billions of living beings.

For the beings in this dimension, it is like an inescapable hell, but for the Blood Evil Clan, it is a place of supreme creation where they can defy fate and change their destiny. The energy contained within is enough to shake heaven and earth.

According to the original trajectory, if Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing had not set foot in this plane beforehand, the Blood Evil Clan would have used the power of the Blood Abyss to give birth to more supreme-level demon generals.

It is extremely rare for a minor demon general to possess the power of a supreme being, even in the vast world. Yet, in this lower plane, the Blood Evil Clan has truly achieved this.

The strength of the six Blood Demon Kings will also rise to a new level, becoming even more formidable.

In the original timeline, this was the scene that Mu Chen saw when he arrived in this plane.

But now, everything has been rewritten.

Chen Xiao and Qing Yanjing's premature intrusion disrupted the Blood Evil Clan's plans. The Blood Abyss energy, which was powerful enough to devour the heavens and the earth, became nourishment for this Blood Demon Emperor. With the sacrifice of the Great Blood Demon King, he was able to break out of his shell and emerge into the world.

Meeting the Blood Demon Emperor's gaze, Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "You should indeed thank me. If I hadn't wanted to see the so-called power of a Demon Emperor, you would probably have died in the womb by now, no, you should have died in the egg."

The white-haired youth, now the Blood Demon Emperor of the Blood Fiend Clan, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes upon hearing this. "It sounds a bit mystical, but your methods are indeed strange. I believe you. In that case, as repayment, I will make sure you die with complete submission!"

His voice still carried a hint of immaturity, yet it was also hoarse and grating. His words were cold and icy, revealing no trace of emotion.

"Then let me, the Emperor, experience your methods and see what the Blood Demon Emperor is capable of."

Chen Xiao stepped forward, and with a wave of his hand, a gentle force rippled out, sending Qing Yanjing thousands of miles away.

She couldn't offer much help in the battle against the Blood Demon Emperor; she could simply go to a distant location and use a spirit array to provide support.

After seeing Qing Yanjing off, Chen Xiao stared directly at the Blood Demon Emperor. Even though the other party was a true Demon Emperor, there was no fear on his face.

Demon Emperors also have different ranks, just like the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Great Thousand Worlds, with strict hierarchical barriers.

However, the Heavenly Sovereign is divided into Saintly, Immortal, and Spiritual grades, while the Demon Emperor is divided into the Heavenly, Profound, and Netherworld realms.

The Blood Demon Emperor who had just hatched was at most at the level of the Netherworld Demon Emperor. Although his power was overwhelming, it was still within Chen Xiao's acceptable range.

Unlike the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor of the ancient Heavenly Palace, who, even in his severely crippled state, was still far superior to ordinary Spirit-grade Heavenly Sovereigns and not to be underestimated.

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, the blood-red aura around the Blood Demon Emperor suddenly surged, and the pressure of the Demon Emperor level swept out like a tsunami. Under this pressure, Blood Demon Mountain crumbled inch by inch, and even the sky was dyed a scarlet red, with all the light being swallowed up.

"Hehehe, I'll satisfy you!" The slightly immature voice was filled with murderous intent. The Blood Demon Emperor raised his hand and waved it. The blood light in the sky condensed into hundreds of millions of blood-red spears. The tips of the spears were flashing with black energy that corroded the soul. With a sharp whistle that tore the heavens and the earth apart, they shot towards Chen Xiao. Wherever they passed, the sky was riddled with holes.

boom!

A deafening explosion resounded, and hundreds of spirit arrays simultaneously descended upon Chen Xiao's surroundings.

It was Qing Yanjing who made the first move.

The power of the offensive spirit array was enough to make any Earthly Sovereign at the Great Perfection take it seriously, while the numerous defensive and auxiliary spirit arrays that empowered Chen Xiao were like wind fanning a fire, making Chen Xiao feel extremely happy.

With a flick of his fingertips, spiritual energy surged forth from his body like a tide, and amidst the swirling spiritual light, ten towering figures, tens of thousands of feet tall, suddenly appeared!

As the sky filled with blood-red spears carrying bone-corroding evil energy, the ten towering supreme Dharma images simultaneously raised their hands, forming identical profound hand seals.

At the same time, ten majestic imperial voices intertwined into a deafening sound wave that shook the heavens and earth, exploding with a thunderous roar: "Frosty Splendor, Ten Souls United!"

In that instant, the Blood Demon Emperor, who had been so confident, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He clearly sensed that the surging, powerful energy within the ten Dharma images was strangely converging on one of the Dharma images, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

The power of that Dharma image also increased exponentially, and the spiritual power surging around it actually broke through the shackles of the Earthly Sovereign, as if it had already stepped half a foot into the threshold of the Heavenly Sovereign!

Chen Xiao ignored the Blood Demon Emperor's gaze, feeling the surging, roaring power within his body that was about to burst through his body. With a slight thought, an immeasurable climax suddenly rose between heaven and earth, and a chilling aura swept in as if from an ancient ice plain, instantly engulfing the entire sky.

The moment the chilling air touched the millions of blood spears that shot towards them, a series of hissing sounds could be heard, and ice crystals spread across the blood spears at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, all those blood-red spears, which were wrapped in soul-corroding evil energy and could pierce through heaven and earth, were frozen in mid-air, solidifying into eerie blood-red ice sculptures. No matter how the black energy at the spear tips struggled, it could not move forward any further, and even the surrounding space was frozen solid.

"Here you go!"

Chen Xiao raised his hand and waved it, and billions of ice crystal blood spears shot back, piercing through space and shooting towards the Blood Demon Emperor.

Such power would have been unbearable for the previous Great Blood Demon King.

However, the Blood Demon Emperor merely glanced at it indifferently, stretched out his fair and slender hand, and with a gentle flick, a surge of blood-red energy erupted, shattering the countless ice crystal spears that were shooting back towards him.

Immediately, his eyes flashed, and he pointed with his finger.

boom!

A beam of blood-red light shot out from his fingertip, swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye transformed into a giant blood-red python. The python was ferocious and savage, and with each breath, it devoured large swathes of space as it rushed toward Chen Xiao's supreme dharma image.

"Bang!"

Seeing the blood-red python lunge with its fangs bared, a chill finally crossed the indifferent face of the Supreme Dharma Image.

The next moment, he suddenly raised his fist, the fist covered with frost-like spiritual light, carrying a chilling aura capable of freezing mountains and rivers, and slammed down fiercely towards the blood python's head.

"boom!"

The moment the fist and the python collided, a deafening roar exploded, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions like a hurricane. The Blood Demon Mountain, which had not yet collapsed, was instantly reduced to dust by this aftershock.

Before the blood-red python could even scream, it was frozen into an ice block by the extreme cold power of the fist, and then shattered inch by inch, turning into a sky full of blood mist and ice crystals.

The supreme dharma image was also shaken by the terrifying aftershocks of the giant python before its death, and was forced to retreat hundreds of miles away, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing in the void beneath its feet.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon Emperor seemed to be deep in thought. He flicked his fingertips, and countless blood pythons shot out.

However, the result was the same. All ten supreme Dharma forms seemed to have one foot in the ranks of the Heavenly Sovereigns. Although they were slightly troublesome, they were able to withstand the attack.

"Interesting." The Blood Demon Emperor chuckled.

He had already keenly realized that the ten supreme dharma forms could not actually unleash that power simultaneously. There was an extremely short time difference between their attacks, which must be a unique secret technique.

And that is indeed the case.

Since becoming an emperor on the Dou Qi Continent, Chen Xiao has not truly made a move, but those years were by no means wasted.

The secret technique being used now was created during that period, and its essence is quite similar to the "Three Beasts Savage Technique" of the Dou Qi Continent.

"There's much more you wouldn't expect!"

Chen Xiao chuckled softly, and the hand seals on his fingers suddenly changed. In an instant, countless spiritual seals appeared like stars in a blood-red night, densely covering the entire sky.

Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his hand and waved it, and nearly a thousand spirit arrays instantly formed in the void, carrying a majestic aura as they descended upon the Blood Demon Emperor.

Qingyan, standing in the sky behind, understood perfectly. With a gentle wave of her hand, the spirit arrays that had been protecting Chen Xiao followed suit, transforming into a dazzling tide of light that swept towards the Blood Demon Emperor.

"He's a master of spirit arrays, with quite a few tricks up his sleeve. It's just a pity that the gap between us remains insurmountable."

The Blood Demon Emperor glanced at the overwhelming spiritual array with his blood-red pupils, his body remaining motionless, showing no intention of dodging.

The moment he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, unleashing a terrifying suction force that seemed to devour everything in its path. In an instant, his seemingly childish mouth transformed into a bottomless, blood-red black hole, frantically sucking up everything around it.

The suction force precisely locked onto the two major spirit arrays, and in the next instant, a chorus of gasps filled the air.

The spirit array that was powerful enough to crush several Earthly Sovereigns at the Great Perfection stage was swallowed whole by the Blood Demon Emperor!

Yet his figure remained as steady as Mount Tai, showing no sign of abnormality!

High above, Chen Xiao's expression remained completely unchanged throughout.

With his strength, he could easily dissolve those spirit arrays, let alone a Blood Demon Emperor at the Demon Emperor level.

Therefore, from the very beginning, when he unleashed these spirit arrays, he did not expect them to be very effective; his only aim was to buy a moment of time.

The Blood Demon Emperor swallowed the two large spirit arrays, gazed at Chen Xiao from afar, and said in a cold tone: "Use whatever other tricks you have up your sleeve. If I have enough fun, I might give you a chance to become a blood slave under my command."

"Blood slaves?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but scoff, but a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. "You think you can outdo me, you newly hatched beast?"

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao's true form, which had gathered the power of ten souls, suddenly pressed down the hand seal that had already been formed at his fingertips.

"Buzz—!"

A deafening buzz suddenly resounded, and on the surface of the Dharma image's body, hundreds of millions of dazzling runes lit up. The runes intertwined and flowed, and in an instant, it seemed as if a magnificent world, both real and illusory, was evolving!

Mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars, and countless living beings—

Everything that can be seen in this plane is floating and sinking in that world!

An unparalleled power of the world swept towards the Blood Demon Emperor. The surrounding void collapsed inch by inch under this pressure, the earth cracked, and the earth, fire, water, and wind reversed. This lower plane seemed to be facing its end, and would be completely destroyed in the next moment!

"Supreme divine power? No, how could there be such a supreme divine power!" The Blood Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically, and a trace of true horror finally appeared in his indifferent blood eyes. He could clearly feel that the void world contained a terrifying power that was enough to obliterate everything.

If he were truly enveloped by it, even if he were already in the body of a demon emperor, he might be reduced to nothingness!

Upon realizing this, the Blood Demon Emperor dared not be negligent in the slightest. He slowly clasped his hands together, and his indifferent voice, like that of a god of destruction, resounded throughout the world.

"Bloodlust! Profound Thunder!"

Boom!

Amidst the vast blood-red clouds in the sky, a sudden burst of lightning erupted. The next moment, countless streaks of blood-red lightning crashed down from the sky, overwhelming the approaching illusory world.

Each bolt of blood lightning seemed to possess destructive power, causing the heavens and earth to tremble when it struck.

However, that illusory world was like a dream, formless and intangible, impossible to lock onto, yet it possessed the power to encompass everything, and under the Blood Demon Emperor's horrified gaze, it completely absorbed the sky full of blood lightning.

He could see the endless blood lightning raging wildly in the illusory world, but Chen Xiao on the other side was not affected in the slightest!

As we all know, in this vast world, many powerful supreme avatars possess their own unique abilities, which are known as supreme divine powers!

Although Chen Xiao did not cultivate the Supreme Dharma Body of the Great Thousand World, his Dou Di body was equivalent to the Supreme Dharma Body. When he passed through the spiritual tribulation and the Supreme Dharma Body evolved into the Supreme Dharma Image, he, like all the Earth Supreme experts, had a deep feeling about the power of heaven and earth and the power of the world that he could mobilize at will.

But Chen Xiao's situation is different from others. Combined with the false world and the real world in his mind, he has gained another powerful method without his knowledge!

This method can be considered his unique and supreme divine power!

Today was the first time Chen Xiao had a premonition that the power of this technique would be considerable, but he never expected it to be so formidable that it would cause the lower plane to present a scene of destruction, as if the two worlds were destined to be unable to coexist and that once they intersected, one of them would be destroyed!

"Suppress!" Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, controlling the illusory world to slowly descend towards the Blood Demon Emperor's head.

As the illusory world, seemingly real yet unreal, descended, the Blood Demon Emperor was surrounded by a surge of blood-red light, and his body suddenly swelled tens of thousands of times, transforming into a ferocious, blood-red giant.

He struggled against the oppressive force of the world descending upon him, but no matter how he resisted, the illusory world continued to press down at a steady pace.

Under this oppressive force, the Blood Demon Emperor's godlike body was forced to slowly hunch over, gradually kneeling on the ground until he was completely prostrate.

Chen Xiao glanced at the land below, which was now crisscrossed with ravines, and with a thought, the illusory world immediately stopped its descent.

At that very moment, everyone noticed that the world began to return to calm, except for the sky, which seemed dreamlike and unreal.

"Heh heh heh, no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you can't kill me unless you want all living beings in this plane to be buried with me!"

As if realizing the problem Chen Xiao was facing, the Blood Demon Emperor, though unable to move and with his bones cracking from the pressure of the phantom world, still managed a sinister smile and a voice full of madness.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing more.

Although the Blood Demon Emperor is powerful, he has only just entered the Demon Emperor level. Given Chen Xiao's special abilities, even in a life-or-death battle, he is not without a chance to break the record of the former Blood Battle King.

However, Chen Xiao did not choose to deduce in the fake world and then directly anchor the future to obtain the result. Instead, he spent a lot of effort fighting him, all for the sake of the plane embryo.

Although Chen Xiao has his bottom line, he is never a pushover. He usually does things with his own purpose, and temporarily suppressing the Blood Demon Emperor has already achieved the result he wants at this moment.

The time is perfect; now it's time to reap the rewards!

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao immediately retracted his Supreme Dharma Form, sat down cross-legged in mid-air, and slowly closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes, an invisible wave suddenly spread out from him, rapidly engulfing all regions of this lower plane within a few breaths.

At the same time, a sense of enlightenment arose in the hearts of all the indigenous people in this dimension.

"The Embryo of a Dimension—"
