Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: Ying Hun Battles the Immortal Heavenly Emperor

The great battle had reached its boiling point.

“Virtuous and Wicked Sovereigns, let’s stop holding back! Show us your true power.” The Heavenly Emperor of Death sneered coldly, activating his Divine Power of Death.

“Hmph! Who’s afraid of who?” The Wicked Sovereign snarled viciously, unleashing his full strength in a sudden fury.

“Buzz! Buzz!”

Waves of horrifying Divine Power exploded continuously, the auras of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor and the others skyrocketing wildly, causing the entire Ling Realm to quake violently and striking terror into countless cultivators.

“Emperor Ling, isn’t it time you showed your true capabilities as well?” The Flame Emperor of Ice cast a sharp glance at Emperor Ling.

“Since you wish to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Emperor Ling said chillingly as his Shura Divine Power suddenly erupted.

The Flame Emperor of Ice sneered, “In the battle years ago, the duel was inconclusive, but today, the victor shall surely be decided!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

As his words dropped, the Flame Emperor of Ice began unleashing his full power as well, an extremely terrifying Ice Attribute force erupting like a volcanic eruption, pouring out in frenzy.

The great Heavenly Emperors unleashed their full might and summoned their divine weapons and artifacts.

The terrifying energies filled the void—amid the dim expanse, the radiant, multi-colored energies were dazzling.

The true battle was only just beginning.

“I will hold nothing back!” The Immortal Heavenly Emperor snarled with a cold laugh, charging forward in a burst of speed, gripping a long spear.

“Clap!”

Ying Hun clasped his hands together with a crisp sound and then pulled them apart vigorously. Out of thin air, a refined Jade Pendant appeared, exuding a fiercely terrifying aura.

“Divine Artifact!” The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s face darkened slightly, his expression growing more solemn.

“It’s actually a Divine Artifact!” The Heavenly Emperor of Death and the others cast shocked gazes toward him.

With the Divine Artifact now revealed, Ying Hun’s aura surged once more, escalating to a terrifying extreme.

With his profound, aged eyes fixed on the rushing Immortal Heavenly Emperor, Ying Hun made his move—unsheathing his sword with a clean and swift horizontal slash, utterly unburdened and unrestrained.

“Whiz!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The sword light emanated a horrifying cyan glow, tens of thousands of feet wide, accompanied by piercingly shrill sonic booms, a monstrous force seemingly capable of cleaving the void in two.

With just a casual sword swipe, such terrifying power was unleashed—proving Ying Hun’s formidable strength.

“Does my power really need you to test it?” The Immortal Heavenly Emperor roared ferociously, injecting raging amounts of Tian Gang Divine Power into his spear. Golden light flared in brilliance, radiating suffocating spear energy.

From his rampaging stance, it was evident that the Immortal Heavenly Emperor intended to directly clash with Ying Hun’s sword light.

“Shatter!”

In an instant, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor arrived with a booming cry, his spear thrusting viciously, its attack sharp and ruthless.

“Boom!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The savage clash resulted in a thunderous explosion that shook heaven and earth. The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s wild and unyielding power shattered Ying Hun’s sword light, causing the void to tremble once again.

Ying Hun’s sword light had no discernible effect on the Immortal Heavenly Emperor.

In a flash, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor appeared, swinging his spear horizontally toward Ying Hun’s neck—his methods brutally merciless, aiming to kill with his initial strike.

“Whiz!”

However, at that moment, Ying Hun’s figure vanished bizarrely, leaving behind only a blurred afterimage.

The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s horizontal sweep ended up slicing Ying Hun’s afterimage cleanly in two.

“Ying Hun, your Escapist Decree won’t fool me,” the Immortal Heavenly Emperor said arrogantly, his eyes darting to the left before instantly stabbing his spear out with an unstoppable force.

“That’s not guaranteed!” Ying Hun’s aged voice resonated, as a lightning-fast, slashing sword strike swept toward the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s right side, ferocious and perilous.

The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s heart raced in shock as he hurriedly countered with his spear.

“How swift! Instantly changing positions—the Escapist Decree is indeed formidable, but it’s useless against me,” the Immortal Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, his expression unchanged.

“Slash!”

But in the next instant, Ying Hun’s sword had already sliced through the edge of the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s abdomen, streaking his clothing with blood and leaving behind a visible wound.

The speed was so unsettlingly fast that even the Immortal Heavenly Emperor seemed unable to react in time.

The Escapist Decree’s bizarre nature—akin to instantaneous movement—made pinpointing positions an almost impossible task.

“Ying Hun, mere speed won’t be enough to defeat me,” the Immortal Heavenly Emperor sneered coldly, dismissing the wound as insignificant.

As he spoke, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor launched a relentless offensive.

“Clink! Clink! Clink!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

The battle raged on intensely—the Immortal Sword and spear clashing repeatedly in sharp sounds, sparks flying, while waves of terrifying energy rippled and spread endlessly.

There was no denying the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s terrifying strength.

Though Ying Hun possessed astonishing speed and the Escapist Decree, he still failed to suppress the Immortal Heavenly Emperor.

“Marvelous! Marvelous! Haha!” Despite the ferocity of the battle, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor appeared jubilant, reveling in the sheer thrill of combat.

The more excited the Immortal Heavenly Emperor became, the more savage his attacks grew, striking with deadly intent—bordering on madness.

Gradually, Ying Hun began conceding ground. The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s vicious assaults allowed no reprieve, leaving Ying Hun with no opportunity to catch his breath.

Even with the Divine Artifact empowering him, Ying Hun was incapable of matching the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s Tian Gang Divine Power.

“Ying Hun Pavilion Master is nearing his limit!” Elder Yang Qianxiao cried out in anxiousness.

“The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s power is too overwhelming! And it’s Tian Gang Divine Power no less!” Bai Hun too was fretfully alarmed, but they were powerless to intervene, merely gritting their teeth in frustration.

If Ying Hun fell in battle, no one could stop the Immortal Heavenly Emperor and his allies.

“The Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation has reached the peak of the late Heavenly Emperor stage. The Pavilion Master is a step behind—despite having the Divine Artifact, suppressing the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s Tian Gang Divine Power is impossible!” Tian Kui Assassin muttered, his brow furrowing with concern.

“Ying Hun is no match for the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s strength.” The Annihilation Emperor sneered disdainfully.

“Hmph! To challenge the Divine Clan is nothing short of courting death!” The Immortal Kui Heavenly Emperor scoffed with pretentious arrogance.

Ying Hun continued to suffer defeats, having been struck by the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s spear multiple times, incapable of withstanding the overpowering Tian Gang Divine Power.

From the intense collisions, Ying Hun’s internal energy churned violently, his arm now radiating traces of sharp pain.

“After all these years, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation has reached such heights.” Ying Hun muttered darkly as his aged face grew increasingly grim.

“Sky Shadow Decree!”

Ying Hun roared as he unleashed an even more terrifying power, his aura surging wildly.

“Immortal Decision! World Extermination Heavenly Death Palm!”

With one hand forming seals to gather destructive power, Ying Hun let out a resounding shout and launched his left palm, sending a horrifying cyan-colored palm print flying toward the Immortal Heavenly Emperor.

“Excellent timing!” Watching the ominous palm print shoot toward him, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor roared in excitement.

“Immortal Decision! Skyscraping Spear!” Channeling immense power into his long spear, the Immortal Heavenly Emperor shouted once more, his surging aura erupting, and the long spear radiated an overwhelmingly frightening spear energy.

As the Immortal Heavenly Emperor’s roar subsided, his long spear swept out viciously.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Spurt!”

In the blink of an eye, the palm print collided fiercely with the energy-laden spear, detonating in a massive blast that sent rippling energy waves scattering wildly. Ying Hun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as his silhouette was flung backward.

“Pavilion Master!”

“Ying Hun Pavilion Master!”

Elder Tian Kui Assassin and Su Xuan shouted in overwhelming panic.
