Chapter 1529: Chapter 1219: Cultivator Becomes Heavenly Demon

After a moment of silence, Emperor Taikang gazed into the distant cosmic rift and said, “To attack the Daxia Dynasty, we must first pass through this cosmic rift. Unfortunately, we can’t cross it now. We’ll have to wait until the Star Domain of Daxia Dynasty merges with this universe before we can reach it.”

Hearing Emperor Taikang’s words, Emperor Guangze finally realized that there was a vast and bottomless abyss not far away.

He glanced at the distant abyss and chuckled lightly, “Taikang, you’re not even trying to come up with a decent excuse. It’s just a rift; you could simply fly over it. Are you really stopping because of such a small chasm?”

Emperor Taikang replied calmly, “This abyss has just formed, and no one knows what dangers lie within. As the Saint Heir of Qingyue Holy Land, I cannot risk the lives of the people of Qingyue Holy Land.”

Seeing Taikang’s reluctance to deploy troops, Emperor Guangze said directly, “Fine, since you consider it dangerous, I will personally scout the way for you. If it’s safe, you must attack the Daxia Dynasty today.”

Emperor Guangze thought to himself, even if Lu Chen’s main body is no longer in Daxia Dynasty, their barrier is not easy to break. If Emperor Taikang returns without success, it will certainly displease the Lord of Qingyue. At that time, if I fan the flames, it’s possible that Qingyue Holy Land’s Saint Heir will soon need a replacement.

Although the Era Tribulation is approaching, Emperor Guangze still has a deep obsession with the control of Qingyue Holy Land. He has been in closed-door cultivation all these years for this very reason.

At this moment, Emperor Guangze flew towards the distant cosmic abyss without hesitation. Watching the silhouette of Emperor Guangze, Lu Chen’s lips curved slightly upward.

This is the perfect opportunity to test how powerful a being this cosmic abyss can engulf.

Soon, Emperor Guangze reached the top of the cosmic abyss. He flew directly over it without any hesitation.

Yet, as soon as he reached above the cosmic abyss, his body seemed to be held in place by something, and he no longer ascended.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone’s expressions turned serious. Although Emperor Taikang and others indeed hoped for trouble for Emperor Guangze, if he truly perished here, it would be difficult to explain upon returning.

At this moment, Emperor Guangze felt as if something was holding him back, and the power of his Emperor Realm within was rapidly slipping away.

Emperor Guangze desperately mobilized his Power of Dao, trying to escape the abyss’s pull, but no matter how he struggled, his body remained motionless.

Unwilling to accept this, Emperor Guangze directly burned his Divine Soul. Seeing the red halo appearing on him, the atmosphere at the scene grew heavier.

No one knew what Emperor Guangze was experiencing, but the fact that he burned his Divine Soul meant he was in a life-and-death situation.

Could just passing over this cosmic rift lead to a life-or-death crisis?

This made Emperor Taikang and the others break into a cold sweat, grateful they hadn’t rashly crossed earlier, or they would be the ones burning their Divine Souls now.

Emperor Guangze turned his head with great difficulty towards the spectators behind him. His face was twisted, looking incredibly pained.

With all his might, he pleaded, “Save…me!!!”

Though Emperor Guangze’s voice was faint, the Emperors present heard it clearly, yet none of them moved.

Only Emperor Guangze and Emperor Taikang were Emperor Realm Ninth Layer here, and now, even Emperor Guangze, an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, was trapped by the abyss. The only one capable of intervening was Emperor Taikang.

However, Emperor Taikang would never risk himself for Emperor Guangze. This abyss is one even an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer couldn’t escape by burning their Divine Soul.

Seeing the apathy from Emperor Taikang and others, Emperor Guangze’s anger reached its peak, “Even if I die, I won’t let you have it easy!!!”

With that, Emperor Guangze frantically burned his Divine Soul, attempting to break free from the abyss’s restraints. Just then, black fog emerged from the abyss, enveloping Emperor Guangze’s body.

Before anyone could react, Emperor Guangze’s body twisted continually within the black mist, and the next moment, a Heavenly Demon at the Emperor Realm level appeared before them.

Seeing this demonic figure lashing out, everyone was stunned. They never expected that Heavenly Demons could be born like this.

Emperor Taikang snapped out of it and shouted, “Not good, it’s an Emperor Realm Heavenly Demon. We’re no match for it. Retreat now!”

Emperor Guangze was already Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, and now turning into a Heavenly Demon, which could crush Cultivators of the same Realm. An Emperor Realm Ninth Layer Heavenly Demon was absolutely beyond what they could handle at this moment.

As Emperor Taikang’s words fell, the Immortal Boats from Qingyue Holy Land turned around in a rush, preparing to flee this place.

Right then, Lu Chen stood still, lost in thought, watching the transformed Heavenly Demon from Emperor Guangze.

When Heavenly Demons first appeared in his wife’s child world, he pondered whether some Heavenly Demons were actually Cultivators of this universe, transformed. He hadn’t anticipated witnessing such an instance today.

Though a Heavenly Demon in the Ninth Layer is formidable, for Lu Chen, who cultivated the Chaos Demon Slaying Technique, dealing with Emperor Guangze was straightforward.

Emperor Guangze suddenly broke free from the abyss and flew directly towards the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty. Noticing that Emperor Guangze didn’t pursue, Emperor Taikang and his group turned back.

An Emperor among them exclaimed in astonishment, “He’s not pursuing; he’s going to attack the Daxia Dynasty!”

Subsequently, the crowd from Qingyue Holy Land halted their retreat to watch the spectacle, eager to see whether the Ninth Layer Heavenly Demon could destroy the barrier of the Daxia Dynasty.

Although they had no intention of attacking the Daxia Dynasty, the Dynasty was a critical threat to the universe. If the newly transformed Heavenly Demon, Emperor Guangze, could annihilate it, it would be beneficial for Qingyue Holy Land and the entire universe.

Just as everyone eagerly awaited the outcome, a point of light suddenly shot out from the Daxia Dynasty.

When the light stopped, people saw a figure exuding the Fifth Layer Realm’s Emperor aura, along with the Power of Slaughter.

Seeing the Fifth Layer Clone of Lu Chen, Emperor Taikang and the others were dumbfounded.

Power of Slaughter?

According to their information, the entire Daxia Dynasty only had two Slaughter Emperors, one being Lu Chen and the other an Empress.

Wasn’t Lu Chen’s main body supposed to have ventured into the Outer Domain? How could there now be a Fifth Layer Slaughter Emperor? More crucially, that Slaughter Emperor’s Divine Soul seemed intact, far from resembling a Clone.

An Emperor commented, “How is this possible? Wasn’t Lu Chen supposed to have gone to the Outer Domain? How is he here?”
