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

The Dark Emperor dodged several of the Drunken Sword Immortal's attacks in a disheveled state.

His refusal to lend Song Gua's power means that Jie Dao will no longer provide him with any improvement.

The Dark Emperor himself is naturally not a being of the Void.

The problem is that this Dark Emperor is currently just a remnant soul attached to Du Minghui, and the power he can exert is very limited.

then.

"Song Gua! Lend me your power! Quick! Let's defeat the Drunken Sword Immortal together and protect the Earth!"

This time it was Song Gua who swore.

"You son of a bitch..."

You, the mighty Dark Emperor, are practically a BOSS to Earth.

The real body just hasn't come over yet, there's no need to be so cowardly.

They even said things like "protect the Earth".

Indeed, those who become emperors are all capable of both yielding and standing firm.

The Dark Emperor's power has returned.

Song Gua felt he was back to his old self.

"OK! My seven little darlings, now our opponent is the Drunken Sword Immortal! This guy refined a celestial embryo and gained celestial power. By the standards of the cultivation world, he might be about to ascend! Or he might already have! Put your clever little brains to work and think of a way to give him a good beating!"

Dark Artifacts:

"Think for yourself! Who holds a cleaver and expects the cleaver to figure out where to start chopping meat?"

"How you fight is your business. I'm only responsible for collecting your soul power and mobilizing the power of the sacred artifact's rules for you."

"Song Gua! Am I pretty?! Stop impersonating the Dark Emperor! Disgusting!"

"Oh~ Dark Emperor, in my humble opinion, it will be difficult for this Drunken Sword Immortal to win using his strange tricks. After all, even with time reversal, he can still launch his attacks. Oh my god, this is terrifying! If we can only fight head-on, you must consider maximizing the power of the dagger, the golden seal, and the cross. Oh, believe me, they are still quite formidable..."

Besides the ever-loyal pocket watch.

Other Dark Artifacts were either abandoned or met with insults.

But there's no need to worry about them not cooperating.

Song Gua possesses the power of the Dark Emperor, and because it is borrowed, it is even stronger than the Dark Emperor himself.

In other words, in terms of rules and logic, the Song hexagram is more like the Dark Emperor than the Dark Emperor.

Dark artifacts are, after all, just tools; they cannot disobey the orders of someone who is more like a master than their master.

Bandits:

"Damn it, we've fallen out of favor."

"The old thief can't beat the BOSS now, so he's thinking of using the Dark Artifact to cheat, and he doesn't even bother to come to us anymore."

"Is the person upstairs an idiot? If that old thief doesn't come after us, our chances of dying are greatly reduced, right? We can just hide forever!"

"So, does love really disappear?"

"If that old thief loves you, your love won't disappear, but your life might."

Over time, Earth will gradually move away from this dimensional rift.

Because the crack does not follow the Earth's revolution around the sun.

However, this rift still leads to the higher-dimensional world corresponding to Earth.

The danger of lowering the dimensions of higher-dimensional matter has not been completely eliminated.

Now, the Drunken Sword Immortal is trying to seize the source of life.

Song Gua cannot afford to delay for even a second, so he has no choice but to take the initiative to attack. There is no time for him to go to Earth to borrow power from someone.

The current Sword Immortal is now able to fight on par with Song Gua in his current state.

It must be said that the Way of the Gou is indeed the Great Way.

The fact that he could fight Song Gua to such an extent shows that he also had the ability to eliminate the Twelve Patriarchs.

But he remained hidden in the shadows.

He had only made occasional appearances before, never revealing his full strength.

Of course, he wanted to keep the twelve ancestors so that they could help him open up new dimensions.

In space, the battle between swordsmanship and knotted path erupted with dazzling divine light.

The vast and boundless universe is their battlefield.

The dimensional fissures caused by the continuous descent of dimensionally reduced matter form the backdrop of the battlefield.

The Celestial Army continues to attack the rift in an attempt to slow down the rate at which higher-dimensional matter is reduced to lower dimensions.

The Dark Emperor watched from the sidelines, eyeing the world covetously, and even considered secretly rushing into the higher-dimensional world.

Unfortunately, either Song Gua or the Drunken Sword Immortal could easily subdue him, leaving the Dark Emperor with no chance whatsoever.

"Damn it! If my real body were here, I wouldn't tolerate these two running wild!"

The Dark Emperor grumbled.

Song Gua shouted hurriedly.

"Dark Emperor! Be sincere! The power you borrowed from me is unstable! You don't want me to lose to the Drunken Sword Immortal, causing him to steal the life essence of Earth, do you?"

Dark Emperor: "You son of a bitch..."

Dark Star's goal is to seal away the source of life.

If the Source of Life were obtained by the Drunken Sword Immortal, would the effect be the same?

Of course they're different.

The Dark Emperor knew very well that the reason why the Drunken Sword Immortal could reach the pinnacle of power on Earth was simply because the external forces in his original world had developed too strongly, coupled with the fact that he had refined the immortal embryo from the mythical world.

If he truly reshaped the world of cultivation using the very essence of life on Earth.

The world he inhabits will still be found by the Celestial God Clan. No matter how strong the Sword Immortal is, he cannot defeat this supreme clan.

The result was the same.

The Celestial God Clan can still obtain this source of life.

The Celestial Race suffered a crushing defeat on Earth because they encountered the bug that was the Song Gua.

In addition, given the small size of Earth, they haven't invested much effort or attention in it.

The Dark Star Spirits had already predicted similar scenarios many times.

The most effective plan they devised to retaliate against the Celestial Race and hinder their journey to the ultimate moment of the universe was to seal one of the life sources, leaving them forever without one.

It's even possible that, when the final moment arrives, they will all perish because they lack a single source of life.

Wow, just thinking about it is so satisfying!

Song Gua and Jiu Jianxian engage in a fierce battle in space.

The clones clashed with the sword energy.

The sacred artifact and the sword intent are in balance.

The two sides were evenly matched.

As the two separated once again, the Sword Immortal transmitted his voice.

"Song Gua, I didn't want to do this, but my body can't hold on for long with the use of immortal power. I must enter the higher dimension as soon as possible."

Song Gua sighed.

"Sword Immortal, give up. You were born from resentment. The revival of a destroyed world is your obsession, your inner demon. You think you can control it, but that's impossible, because cause and effect cannot be reversed."

A hint of madness gradually crept into the Sword Immortal's eyes.

He raised his long sword high, and countless sword energies swept across the vast expanse of space.

"I don't care! What inner demons! What obsessions! My clan! My family! My sect! My fellow disciples! My lover! My swordsmanship! My...world!! They are still vivid in my mind, how can you expect me to let go?!"

A long sword flashed across the sky, its sword energy soaring into the heavens.

In the darkness, the power released by the Drunken Sword Immortal was somehow connecting with Earth.

Song Gua saw with the Dark Emperor's Eye that the wisps of sword power were flying outwards from the Drunken Sword Immortal to all parts of the earth.

The Sword Immortal of Wine is eight feet tall, and the Earth's radius is over six thousand kilometers, yet he seems capable of shaking the Earth!

"What is he doing? Pocket watch, backtracking!"

"Oh! Lord Dark Emperor, I cannot lock onto his timeline."

"Golden Seal! Seal him!"

"Sorry, I can't suppress it."

"Dagger! Stab him to death!"

"I?"

"The cross drains his life!"

"He is not life, he is just resentment."

"Damn it! You bunch of useless trash! Suicide squad, charge!"

Bandits:

"We still have to rely on them!"
