Chapter 999: Even Ants Get Angry

Xu Nian’s mind was racing with a million curses.

How can you even fight this?

The opponent is of Immortal Emperor Level, even without a physical body now, he has used Earth Attribute Profound Argumentation to condense hard rock to replace his body.

His top-grade Spiritual Artifact can’t even harm him, and his power surpasses that of the Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

Such a huge gap, Xu Nian is completely at the mercy of being slaughtered.

"Is it despairing? An ant is an ant after all, and even if I am a fallen star, it’s not something an ant like you can shake," the Red Rock Immortal Emperor said proudly.

The hand completely formed of rock clenched tightly, making explosive sounds.

Red ghostly light shone through the eye sockets, giving the impression of facing a peerless demon.

Moreover, Xu Nian could feel a flow of Immortal Essence coming from his heart, spreading over the red rock body.

His whole body exuded an invincible majesty.

Xu Nian’s eyes were heavy, and his hand gripped Black Slaughter even tighter.

In his heart, he calculated how to deal with this monstrous Immortal Emperor before him.

Without a doubt, that heart is the weakness of the monstrous Immortal Emperor.

But now that heart is encased in incredibly hard red rock, impossible to penetrate.

Thus, the Red Rock Immortal Emperor’s only weakness disappeared.

Unless there is a way to penetrate the rock and attack the heart directly.

Xu Nian thought, his gaze becoming especially solemn.

He was not without means to attack internal objects through the rock.

Like Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation, it uses Wind Wave to attack the enemy.

And the Power of Earth, which includes the Earth Shattering technique.

But to inflict lethal damage on an already tempered heart.

With Xu Nian’s current power, it was still completely impossible.

"What now? Just wait to die?" Xu Nian muttered to himself.

A strong sense of unwillingness surged in his heart.

"What, you still want to struggle? Kid, I advise you to give up and hand over the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar and that Divine Soul, and I’ll spare your immortal soul," Red Rock spoke again.

Xu Nian sneered disdainfully.

If he really handed over his body, this guy would likely devour his soul in an instant.

Then find a way to locate and destroy his true form.

By then, with the Red Rock Immortal Emperor’s power, he would be beyond Xu Nian’s ability to handle.

Xu Nian’s smile made Red Rock’s eyes burn with intense killing intent.

This brat is obstinate and repeatedly refused his chances.

He truly does not know his own mortality.

"Fine, since you’ve chosen death, I’ll grant you that. I’ll capture you and make you experience the pain of begging for life and death, until then let’s see how long you can hide your soul," Red Rock snorted coldly.

He then stomped his rock-forged foot on the ground and shot out with incredible speed.

Fast enough that the air burst with a strong sonic boom.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Xu Nian.

The rock-forged hand reached toward Xu Nian’s neck.

Xu Nian’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and a layer of black scale armor emerged on his body.

At the same time, the Black Slaughter in his hand, filled with thick True Essence, slashed fiercely against the approaching hand.

"Clang!"

Sword light scattered in thousands.

Sparks flew as it clashed with the rock hand.

The True Essence waves spread out, forming a terrifying shockwave.

Yet Xu Nian’s Black Slaughter still couldn’t shake Red Rock, only marginally hindering his offensive.

In the next moment, Red Rock swept aside Black Slaughter and was about to grab his neck.

Xu Nian sensed a strong crisis, and massive wings unfolded behind him, flapping instantly to distance himself from Red Rock, barely avoiding his claws.

"Indeed it is the Undying Devouring Sky Beast, it even has wings," Red Rock sneered with a laugh, lunging at Xu Nian again.

"One Breath to Ten Thousand Swords!"

Xu Nian shouted, the wings transforming into sword light, slashing madly at Red Rock.

The body spun in the air, wings turning to blades.

Countless illusions formed.

The wings of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast are extremely sharp.

Now performing One Breath to Ten Thousand Swords with the wings, its power was even more ferocious.

Added with Xu Nian’s hand

Countless sword lights rained down on Red Rock like a storm.

Red Rock made no defenses, letting the attacks land on him.

Though he was continuously forced back by Xu Nian’s attacks, leaving countless marks on his body.

Xu Nian’s attacks were wild, but they failed to inflict substantial damage on Red Rock.

"Haha, are you scratching an itch?"

Red Rock laughed heartily, throwing a direct punch.

"Poof!"

The bones in Xu Nian’s chest instantly fractured, and his black scale armor shattered, sending him flying backward.

"Boom!"

Xu Nian crashed into a boulder behind him, creating another deep pit.

Blood spurted from his mouth again.

Though Xu Nian’s Original Core hid within the Chaos Divine Palace, ensuring his undying nature, his body still suffered injuries.

At this moment, his chest felt like it was splitting, the pain was unbearable.

"Haha, no rush, I can play with you slowly until you can’t take it anymore and hand over the Original Core," Red Rock sneered coldly.

His gaze at Xu Nian was like that of an ant in the palm, full of disdain and pity.

A strong sense of pride surged in Xu Nian’s heart.

He refuses to yield to heaven or earth.

How could he bow down to a struggling Immortal Emperor?

"Kill, he must be killed," Xu Nian roared in his heart.

The next moment, a powerful wave surged from Xu Nian’s body.

This wave wasn’t from himself, but from beneath him.

Relentless power flowed into Xu Nian’s body.

Years ago, the blood of the Red Rock Immortal Emperor stained Black Mountain, saturating the rocks with massive power.

Now Xu Nian was absorbing this very power.

The massive energy gathered, turning Xu Nian’s body crimson in an instant.

Xu Nian stood slowly, his cold, crimson eyes bursting with intense bloodlight.

The veins on his body bulged as if about to split open.

His aura was incredibly terrifying.

"What is this?" Red Rock was shocked by the change in Xu Nian’s aura.

A feeling of uneasiness surged in his heart.

Xu Nian continued to ruthlessly absorb this power.

His eyes exuded a strong killing intent.

"Earth God Devouring Sky Fifth Level!"

Xu Nian shouted in his heart.

He was executing the Earth God Devouring Sky Secret Technique.

Soon, Xu Nian’s aura surged to a terrifying degree.

"Hmph, even if you’re using a secret technique, in front of this emperor, all are illusions," Red Rock sneered coldly.

"Is that so?" Xu Nian sneered.

He then stabbed the Black Slaughter into the ground, and his figure shot out.

Instantly appearing in front of Red Rock.

Even Red Rock was shocked, Xu Nian’s speed was much faster than he expected.

But in the next moment, Xu Nian threw a punch.

"Boom!"

The fist smashed into the red rock, instantly cracking it.

Sending Red Rock’s body hurtling backward, slamming heavily into a distant boulder.
