The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

The familiar Dark Compass transmits black mist.

At the bottom of this black mist, a dark compass appeared, rotating.

The Dark Emperor emerged from the black mist.

This Dark Emperor is none other than Du Minghui, the former district head of Huaxia District!

"Is it you?"

Song Gua was somewhat surprised.

"Don't be surprised. I left a wisp of soul in the hands of the Emperor Demon Beast and attached it to Du Minghui."

"Emperor Demon Beast..."

It turns out that the hand that was killed by Zuowangdao was not the Dark Emperor's hand, but the hand of a Dark Star monster called the Emperor Demon Beast.

When the severed hand fell, Du Minghui was indeed the first person among those around to approach it.

After careful recollection, Song Gua recalled that Du Minghui had indeed behaved strangely at the time.

However, no one could have imagined that the Dark Emperor had such a trick up his sleeve.

"What do you want to do now?"

"Give me the supreme artifact in your hand, and I will defeat the Twelve Ancestors for you and stop their plan to seize the source of life."

The Song hexagram was seen.

The Dark Compass hovered beneath the Dark Emperor's feet.

The dark cross transformed into two tentacles, merging and dancing behind him.

These two dark artifacts are now without a host.

If we must say there is a host, it is probably the Dark Emperor who replaced their common host.

"Why should I believe you? Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts."

The Dark Emperor said calmly.

"Your people won't last long. Will you watch them die one by one before your eyes, or will you give up resistance, allowing the Twelve Ancestors to pluck out the source of life, turning Earth into yet another dead star?"

"If I give you the Sovereign Sacred Artifact, you'll be able to defeat the Twelve Ancestors?"

"good."

"Is that so..."

Song Gua had a sudden inspiration.

"In fact, you can lend me your power, and if you're willing, the power I borrow from you will be even greater than what you could unleash yourself. If you can defeat them, then I certainly can!"

The Dark Emperor was momentarily stunned.

He had been lying low for a long time, waiting for this day.

Originally, Song Gua thought that faced with such a situation, he had no choice but to return the sacred artifact to himself.

Unexpectedly, he turned the tables on us.

"Let me think about it..."

The divination of Song was urged on.

"My people won't last much longer. When the Twelve Ancestors remove the source of life and Earth becomes a dead star, the great cause you keep talking about will also be ruined."

The heavens and earth are reversed, and the two poles are reversed.

The Dark Emperor remained expressionless, inwardly speechless.

Today he finally understood why the Dark Compass was so vehement when it accused the bandits of their crimes.

Just then, a pale blue arc appeared out of thin air, inside which was a spatial passage connecting to the other side of the Earth.

Zero led the Twelve Heavenly Kings of the Northern Army, flying out from within.

"King Song, you can't be like this! How can you not invite us to the decisive battle against the Twelve Ancestors!"

The one speaking to the Dark Emperor was just an avatar.

Song Gua has been fighting against the Sixth Patriarch all along.

Otherwise, the speed at which the clones die will be terrifying.

Song Gua's body is amplified by the power of all his clones. The more clones die, the more disadvantageous it is for him. Therefore, he must go all out and end the battle as soon as possible.

The appearance of Zero undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure on Song Gua.

Zero's fighting style was quite elegant.

He had no weapons; all his fighting involved drawing circles in the air with his hands.

His circle can be a spatial channel, transporting people globally.

It can also be a confinement ring, placed on the enemy to immobilize them and suppress their attributes.

It could also be a Vajra Circle; if you smash it down, mountains could crumble and the earth could crack.

This circle can also be "enchanted," granting it the power of various elements, including fire, ice, light, and darkness.

This circle can sometimes become invisible, split, grow to a gigantic size, or shrink to a tiny size.

Zero's abilities have endless uses.

If there's a drawback, it's that the circling action has a slight pre-cast delay, making it impossible to execute instantly.

Song Gua now understands a little why he's called Zero.

Zero, isn't it just a circle?

Although the unique spiritual and magical paths of Yun Yang, Chi Niu, and others could not threaten the lives of the Sixth Patriarch, they could certainly give them a hard time.

Upon seeing this, Wan Jianyi looked up at the sky.

"The Dark Emperor is here. Along with Song Gua and Zero, if they go all out, all six of us will die. We have to bring all six of them down."

The Sword Ancestor dismissed it with disdain.

"What is there to fear from a mob?"

Wan Jianyi snorted coldly.

"Have you forgotten how your previous body died?"

"you……"

Sha Zu arrived between the two men, who were on the verge of drawing their swords.

"Alright! Now is not the time for infighting. A dimensional rift cannot be filled by a group of mechs in a short time."

On the contrary, the Dark Emperor...

Don't forget, he is the biggest obstacle!

"Let the six members of the Fire Ancestor team return to help eliminate Earth's troublemakers like Dark Emperor, Song Gua, and Zero here!"

At this moment, they were under the divine presence, and what they said was incomprehensible to Song Gua, Zero, and the others.

But the Dark Emperor understood.

"Song Gua, they're calling back the six people who went to outer space. Although they're six lower-level ancestors, if they activate their divine faces, they'll be on par with Zero. Don't hesitate any longer, quickly give me the four Sovereign Sacred Artifacts you have!"

The clone that was negotiating with the Dark Emperor in place of Song Gua chuckled.

"That's not right. It should be, 'Stop hesitating!'"

"At a point like this, what you care about is still hoarding resources?"

"Trying to provoke me won't work. You, the Dark Emperor, know best what Dark Star has done to our world. Even if the Sovereign Artifacts aren't very useful in my hands, I would never hand them over to a villain like you."

"you……"

"Alright, now the two sides are evenly matched. You can take your time to consider it before the Sixth Patriarch returns."

While dealing with the Sixth Patriarch, Song Gua glanced at the Dark Emperor.

"You little brat, trying to mess with me?"

The Dark Emperor had already appeared during the lunar crisis.

He stole those spirit cores.

The moment he saw the Dark Compass, it wasn't hard to guess what he had done with the spirit core.

Revive the Dark Compass and find the Dark Cross.

However, during this period of time, no matter what happened on Earth, he remained completely silent.

It remained quietly hidden inside Du Minghui's body until this day.

Even a pig could see that the Dark Emperor was trying to reap the rewards.

Of course, Song Gua could not give him the sacred artifact of the ruler.

Even if he could destroy the Twelve Ancestors, it would be like eliminating the Ten Attendants and then having Dong Zhuo appear; the Earth would still be doomed.

Song Gua refused to give it to him, but the Dark Emperor did not forcibly take it.

It is evident that after Song Gua's realm was elevated to the level of a Spirit Illusionist, the Dark Emperor no longer had the confidence to use force against him.

After all, the Dark Emperor before them was merely a remnant soul, not the complete Dark Emperor.

He always had a chance before Song Gua reached the level of a Spirit Illusionist.

But the Dark Emperor also knew that Song Gua could move around the world at any time, so it was impossible to seize it, and therefore the effort was not in vain.

"Dark Emperor! If you don't lend me your power, I'll self-destruct the Dark Artifact!"

The Dark Emperor scoffed, "You can't do that. Don't try to trick me."

"Think of Dianjiang Mountain! Think of the Illusionary Divine Stele! What wouldn't I dare to blow up!"

The Dark Emperor gritted his teeth, "You... you..."
