Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Danger at Dawn

“The Pavilion Master’s aura is growing weaker and weaker!”

In a rush to reach the Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Tianming was deeply anxious.

“The battle is over! Have they all been defeated?” Feng Wuchen was equally distraught.

The two raced urgently from Spirit Capital’s Tianying Pavilion, executing consecutive teleportation techniques along the journey, but the distance was too vast.

Even with Tianming’s terrifying speed, they couldn’t arrive before the battle concluded.

To travel from Tianying Pavilion to Tiandu Celestial Master Immortal Mansion, it would still take several hours even with Feng Wuchen’s speed.

Now, with Tianming—an expert of the Heavenly Deity Realm—the duration was significantly reduced, yet they were still unable to make it in time.

The battle had already ended.

This meant Ying Hun and the others were in imminent danger of being killed at any moment.

“Pavilion Master!”

Assassin Tian Kui appeared in a flash, furrowing his brows and saying, “Pavilion Master, you must escape first. I’ll stop them. If you choose to leave, they won’t be able to stop you.”

“If I truly abandon them, everyone from the Tianshi Immortal Mansion and the Artifact Refiner Guild will die. Today’s catastrophe at the Tianshi Immortal Mansion arose because of Wind Shadow. You’re well aware of his identity. How could I possibly walk away?” Ying Hun replied weakly.

“They’ll die whether you stay or leave,” Tian Kui frowned.

“Tian Kui, leave now. Don’t throw your life away for nothing,” Ying Hun urged.

“The Pavilion Master’s life-saving grace is etched in my heart. I will never leave,” Tian Kui declared resolutely, his cold gaze fixed squarely on Shura Heavenly Emperor.

“Have you finished your discussion?” Shura Heavenly Emperor sneered sinisterly and dashed forward without hesitation.

“Leave Tian Kui to me!” The recuperating Underworld Emperor spoke coldly.

“No problem,” Shura Heavenly Emperor smirked, his speed so swift that he reached instantly.

“Hmph!” Tian Kui Assassin snorted coldly, clasped his hands together, and frantically activated his barely recovered power, shouting, “Universal Star Formation!”

A white barrier instantly took shape in front of Tian Kui Assassin.

“Break!”

Shura Heavenly Emperor shouted imperiously, his fist surging with terrifying power as he punched fiercely.

“Boom!”

“Crack!”

With a thunderous explosion, the barrier condensed by Tian Kui Assassin was shattered instantly by the horrifying force of the punch, launching both of them tumbling backward.

“With your severely injured physique, what power do you even have to contend with this Emperor?” Shura Heavenly Emperor mocked disdainfully.

“Swish!”

“Boom!”

“Cough!”

As his words fell, Shura Heavenly Emperor darted forward in an instant, unleashing a punch to Tian Kui Assassin’s chest. With a booming explosion, Tian Kui spat blood violently and hurtled away like a cannonball.

“Tian Kui!” Ying Hun shouted in alarm.

Rage erupted within Ying Hun’s heart as he roared furiously, “This is outrageous!”

Ying Hun, filled with wrath, struck a palm toward Shura Heavenly Emperor’s abdomen.

“Bang!”

Shura Heavenly Emperor remained completely unmoved, letting Ying Hun’s attack land, yet it did nothing to shake him.

Ying Hun’s injuries were too severe, leaving him utterly powerless. The force of his strike was weaker than that of an average person—how could it possibly harm Shura Heavenly Emperor?

“Are you angry? Rest assured, he belongs to the Underworld Emperor; this Emperor won’t kill him. But you—this Emperor will!” Shura Heavenly Emperor sneered coldly at Ying Hun, his hand clawing inward to conjure a terrifying purple sphere of energy.

“Stop!”

A thunderous roar erupted from Su Xuan, who had hesitated for a long time but now sprinted forward, seeing Ying Hun on the brink of death.

“Palace Master!” Ice Flame Emperor’s expression changed drastically.

“Whatever happens, come at me! Leave the others out of it!” Su Xuan growled darkly, already resigned to his fate.

“How could I forget? Guigu instructed to bring your head back—lucky that you delivered yourself to the door,” Shura Heavenly Emperor sneered icily, fixing his gaze on Su Xuan.

Without hesitation, the purple energy sphere in his palm shot out toward Su Xuan.

“Palace Master!” Ice Flame Emperor exclaimed in shock, desperately rushing forward.

“Don’t come closer!” Su Xuan shouted, but it was too late—Ice Flame Emperor had already darted to intercept.

“Boom!”

“Cough!”

Ice Flame Emperor used his body to shield against the energy sphere. With another deafening blast, the immense force made him cough up blood as he flew backward, his fate uncertain.

“How laughable—he’s gravely injured and still tries to block this Emperor’s power!” Shura Heavenly Emperor scorned.

“Ice Flame Emperor!” Su Xuan cried out in grief and fury, wishing for nothing more than to tear Shura Heavenly Emperor to pieces.

Shura Heavenly Emperor shrugged carelessly, smirking as he remarked, “He brought this upon himself. To act despite knowing he cannot win—how ludicrously foolish.”

“Boom! Boom!”

“Cough! Cough!”

At the same time, the two Virtue and Vice Elders finally succumbed, gravely injured by Death Heavenly Emperor and Oblivion Heavenly Emperor, coughing blood as they were sent flying.

“Virtue and Vice Elders!” Bai Hun and the others cried out in distress, quickly flying over to check their condition.

“It’s done! Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Artifact Refiner Guild, and Tianying Pavilion—all pose no threat anymore. Eliminate them—this Emperor truly wonders who else dares to oppose the Divine Clan!” Death Heavenly Emperor declared arrogantly.

Ying Hun, Tian Kui Assassin, Virtue and Vice Elders, Ice Flame Emperor—five Heavenly Emperors had all been severely injured.

The remaining Su Xuan and Bai Hun, along with the other Heavenly Deity Realm cultivators, were powerless to turn the tide.

Their fate was sealed—a path leading only to death.

“I alone bear responsibility for everything!” Su Xuan roared furiously, his face twisted with rage.

“Everyone interfering today will die! Rebels must perish! Not a single Tianshi Immortal Mansion disciple will escape!” Ancient Emperor declared coldly, his figure slowly rising from his meditative posture in midair.

“Act swiftly—kill them all and complete the mission quickly to avoid complications. Leave the Tianshi Immortal Mansion disciples to the Moon God Palace; this Emperor has other pressing matters,” Emperor Ling spoke firmly.

“Leave Tian Kui Assassin to this Emperor!” The recovering Underworld Emperor announced.

“Virtue and Vice Elders, I’ll send you off,” Death Heavenly Emperor sneered deviously.

“Ying Hun, your time is up,” Shura Heavenly Emperor mocked coldly, his hand conjuring another devastating purple sphere of energy.

“Swish!”

“Buzz! Buzz!”

Suddenly, a deafening sonic boom echoed from high above—a terrifying blue energy beam shot forth from the distance.

“Heavenly Deity Realm?” The Immortal Heavenly Emperor looked on in surprise, curious about who would dare to challenge the Eight Heavenly Emperors.

“Tianying Pavilion’s Tianming!” Emperor Ling sneered disdainfully. “Another fool rushing to die.”

“Not just one—two of them. Two reckless idiots,” Shura Heavenly Emperor smirked.

“Wind Shadow! Tianming!” Ying Hun’s face darkened in shock, and he cursed furiously in his heart, “What are those two lunatics doing here? Do they have a death wish?”

“Dragon God Young Master! Tianming! Leave at once! Don’t throw your lives away!” Ying Hun desperately transmitted his warning ragefully.

“So, one of them is Wind Shadow—the Divine Grade Artifact Refiner Guigu mentioned!” Emperor Ling snarled fiercely, his eyes glittering with ruthless killing intent.

“They must be the ones who destroyed the Heavenly Spirit Stone mine. Looks like this matter will be yours to handle, Emperor Ling!” Immortal Kui Heavenly Emperor remarked indifferently with a graceful gesture.

Emperor Ling growled fiercely, “This Emperor was hoping for just that.”

“It’s Lord Feng!” Su Xuan and Bai Hun exclaimed in amazement, their eyes widening.

“Swish! Swish!”

Moments later, two figures streaked lightning-fast into view—it was Feng Wuchen and Tianming.
