# Chapter 1501: Annihilation
"Watcher!" The crowd in the distance saw the figure appearing in the void, their gazes froze there. The legendary Watcher had appeared before them, and was far more powerful than the legends suggested.
According to the legends, the Watcher merely watched over monstrous geniuses with the potential to become Martial Emperors and shot Watcher's Arrows. But was that really the case?
"How many years has it been? It's been several thousand years since the Emperor-Slaying Alliance stirred up blood and storms across the Eight Wastelands. Now, the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has once again appeared with an absolutely dominant posture, slaughtering across the Eight Wastelands. But the Eight Wastelands have long lost their original cohesion. And the Watcher has stepped forward at this moment. It's very likely that this Watcher Alliance was born in response to the turmoil caused by the Emperor-Slaying Alliance back then. Because some peerless experts knew that the Emperor-Slaying Alliance would always exist, the Watchers also exist eternally in this world, becoming their opposing force."
The crowd speculated in their hearts. This was absolutely the most likely guess. Otherwise, none of this could be explained. When the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was in hiding, the Watchers only showed the tip of the iceberg. But after the Emperor-Slaying Alliance stirred up the storm, they also displayed astonishing strength. The only possibility was that the Watchers had been monitoring every move of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance all along. Perhaps they knew the Emperor-Slaying Alliance would target those with the strongest talent, so they also watched over those people, thereby keeping an eye on their opponents.
"The Emperor-Slaying Alliance and the Watcher Alliance — why do they exist in the Eight Wastelands?" Many people murmured in their hearts. This was still an unsolved mystery. Why did the Emperor-Slaying Alliance want to stir up this bloody storm?
Above the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress, looking at those confronting powerful figures, many people's gazes fell on the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. They hadn't expected that the Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress was also a force of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. This was too terrifying. Had the Emperor-Slaying Alliance truly infiltrated all the major forces of the Eight Wastelands Realm?
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor felt immense pressure. The Watcher Father had appeared — a Mid-rank Emperor. When he saw the mocking cold smile on Yu Emperor's face, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor understood that Yu Emperor had come fully prepared today. He had brought the Heavenly Terrace to destroy his Heavenly Dragon Divine Fortress and kill his two sons, all to completely anger him and force him to mobilize the forces of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.
"Yu Emperor!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent, as if he wanted to devour Yu Emperor alive. His hatred for Yu Emperor and Lin Feng could no longer be expressed in words. As a Martial Emperor, he was originally a supreme expert in the Eight Wastelands, lofty and exalted. But how miserable was he? Nine sons in one family, all wiped out. His last two sons were torn apart and killed by Yu Emperor right before his eyes.
"Heavenly Dragon Emperor!" In the void, the Watcher Father's face was completely hidden beneath his bamboo hat. A slightly hoarse voice came out, causing the Heavenly Dragon Emperor to look up at the Watcher Father in the void.
"Heavenly Dragon Emperor, why have you become involved with the Emperor-Slaying Alliance?" The Watcher Father's voice rolled out, low and hoarse, but everyone could hear it clearly.
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor glanced at the people of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, then at the Watcher Father and Yu Emperor in the void. In his eyes, besides unwilling resentment, there was also a trace of sorrow. A dignified Martial Emperor, today forced to have no way to heaven and no door to earth.
"Watcher Father, I also want to ask you a question," the Heavenly Dragon Emperor spoke. "Today, you are acting together with the Heavenly Terrace. Were you already acquainted with Yu Emperor of the Heavenly Terrace? Who is your true identity?"
"It seems there's no need to say anything more. Kill!" The Watcher Father's hoarse voice spat out. Suddenly, countless afterimages of him appeared in the void, making it impossible to tell what was real. Dazzling Law arrows condensed, exuding unparalleled power.
When his voice fell, the other Watchers also moved. They all offered up their Watcher's Arrows, shooting them at the figures draped in black robes of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. The entire space was filled with terrifying flowing cloud arrows, shooting the void into chaos, shooting until cracks of nothingness appeared in the void.
"Pfft, pfft..." Many figures were directly pierced through. Those arrows could lock onto a person, never missing their mark. Only by destroying them with powerful attacks could one avoid them. Otherwise, one could only have their body pierced by the arrows. In just this brief instant, five or six powerful experts of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance had fallen here.
Wen Emperor stood in the void. The spatial power of this area frantically fluctuated and rolled, permeated with the power of Space Law. His hands suddenly clenched, and instantly, this entire void was sealed, covered by a spatial light curtain. The power of Space Law sealed this place off. Unless a true Martial Emperor attacked and destroyed it, no one could leave this space.
The figure who had been confronting Yu Emperor silently retreated, seemingly wary of the Watcher Father in the void attacking him. Yu Emperor did not pursue him. Instead, he took a slight step forward, and his palm suddenly blasted toward a Ninth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm expert who controlled Law power. The opponent was suppressed by thousandfold pressure, his body seemingly not his own, completely out of control, drenched in sweat, his face pale. This was the gap between a non-Emperor and a Martial Emperor. A single step away, but crossing it was like ascending to heaven — irreparable.
Yellow-brown rock eroded the opponent's body, covering and burying the entire person in rock. Then, with a soft rumble, Yu Emperor's attack descended. The opponent's rockified body exploded, becoming a cloud of yellow-brown dust. Before a Martial Emperor, even if he controlled Law power, he was still pathetically vulnerable.
As for the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, after he blasted apart two arrows shot at him, the Watcher Father's figure suddenly appeared before him.
"Careful!" A roar directly penetrated the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's mind, causing his entire body to tremble violently. A terrifying sense of deadly crisis descended, and his soul trembled.
The Watcher Father before him still hadn't moved, as if he were a dead man. But the Heavenly Dragon Emperor was so terrified that sweat dripped down his face. He had never been this close to death. His soul had never trembled like this. Despair — as a Martial Emperor, he had revealed an emotion of despair in this instant of exchange.
"Boom!" A terrifying force struck the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body.
"Don't resist!" Along with this attack came a voice. In this extremely brief instant, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's mind raced at high speed. As a Martial Emperor, he had experienced countless things. At this moment of death's approach, his thinking not only didn't stall, he didn't wait to die. Instead, his thinking was even more terrifying than usual. When he suffered this not-so-powerful spatial attack, not only did he not resist, but he used this force to frantically rush to the side, breaking through his limit speed, turning into an illusory light, as if drifting with the current.
"Thump!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's soul trembled, as if it were about to be destroyed. A palm hidden in a sleeve, like a wisp of green smoke, struck the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's side. It was only a hair's breadth away from landing on the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body. This meant that if the Heavenly Dragon Emperor had been even slightly slower just now, he would have died under this deathly palm.
In this brief instant, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body had already drifted a thousand meters away, drenched in cold sweat, staring at the figure that had nearly taken his life. That was the true body of the Watcher Father.
"This ability to conceal aura!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor was speechless. It was too terrifying. This concealment made even movement and attack completely silent, truly like a shadow person. That is, when you closed your eyes, the opponent could walk right up to you without you knowing. Even if you were a Martial Emperor, the opponent could easily take your life. What a terrifying concealment ability.
And that attack was directly aimed at the soul. The Heavenly Dragon Emperor could be certain that if that palm had struck his body, it would have already taken his soul.
A very brief instant, so brief it could be ignored. But the Heavenly Dragon Emperor felt as if he had walked past the God of Death.
The Watcher Father didn't stop at all. His figure flickered and once again drifted toward the Heavenly Dragon Emperor, silent and soundless. Seeing that ethereal figure hidden beneath the bamboo hat, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor felt a chill run down his spine. As a Martial Emperor, he had never been afraid before. But at this moment, he truly tasted the flavor of fear.
"Whoosh!" Layers of afterimages appeared, as if the entire void was filled with the Watcher Father's figure, completely silent. At the same time, a terrifying power fluctuation, binding the entire void, causing the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body to momentarily stagnate, as if sinking.
"Crack!" At this moment, a crisp sound suddenly rang out. It was the sound of the void shattering. The light curtain set up by Wen Emperor had cracked. A powerful figure stepped inside, charging straight toward the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
"Boom!" The void condensed, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's body was enveloped by the power of Space Law. But instead of showing panic, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's face revealed a joy of finding a way out of desperate straits. Just now, he had been eroded by the feeling of fear, knowing that the God of Death was approaching him. But now, there was a glimmer of dawn.
As for the other experts of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance at this moment, only one was still standing. That person was a Martial Emperor, the one who had confronted Yu Emperor. Everyone else was dead!
