Chapter 1350: Divine Emperor's Fatal End
What existence was Zhou Tian God Emperor? In this world, nothing had ever been able to shock him into losing his soul.
Until today.
The foremost of the Four God Emperors, Fantian God Emperor, was also completely rigid, as if seeing a ghost or god... no, the young girl before him was clearly a million times more terrifying than any ghost or god!
Black qi once again blotted out the sun and filled the sky. Xie Ying's crying and laughter once again rang in their ears, even more furious and piercing. Mo Li raised her arm, and the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel, under the horrified gazes of the Four God Emperors, rolled up a dark vortex. A black scar cut through space, tearing straight toward Zhou Tian God Emperor.
"..." Zhou Tian God Emperor did not move.
Moon God Emperor's gaze turned fierce. The Purple Que Divine Sword in his hand burst with purple light, exploding into a purple moon domain. From afar, it looked like a heavenly purple moon, crashing toward the dark demon wheel with a thunderous roar.
Boom!!
The purple moon domain was torn in two in an instant by the dark demon wheel. The Purple Que Divine Sword flew from Moon God Emperor's hand, and both he and Zhou Tian God Emperor were blasted far away. The residual force struck Fantian God Emperor and Star God Emperor behind them like the impact of ten thousand mountains, sending them tumbling hundreds of miles.
At the center of the dark light domain, Mo Li did not immediately give chase. Instead, her body swayed and plummeted straight down in the air, falling a hundred zhang before barely stopping. The black light on her demon wheel was also in chaos and distortion.
She had been wounded by Fantian God Emperor first, then severely injured by the Zhenhuang Divine Cauldron. She ultimately destroyed the Zhenhuang Divine Cauldron, but at the cost of great power and scars covering her body... Only her fury and resentment had not faded or diminished by even a trace.
She lifted her head, and her gaze met Moon God Emperor's... In an instant, the black flames in her eyes became extremely violent.
Moon God Emperor... the one who had forced her mother to her death and nearly killed her brother. The one on whom she had once poured all her killing intent and hatred. It was precisely this boundless killing intent and hatred toward him that had driven her to become Tiansha Xingshen!
He was someone she had to kill in this life!!
The already intense hatred was ignited once more. Mo Li charged at Moon God Emperor. The vast distance closed in an instant under a flash of black light. The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel, bearing cruel destruction, crashed toward the horrified Moon God Emperor.
Demonic pressure covered his body, killing intent seized his heart. Moon God Emperor felt as if he were sealed inside a demon's eyes, with nowhere to flee. When the four of them surrounded Mo Li, they could only barely hold out for a short while. Facing her alone, he had no power to resist at all.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moon realm he released with all his strength barely withstood four of Mo Li's attacks. On the fifth, the moon realm shattered. The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel struck him directly in the chest, exploding with abyssal demon light on his heart.
"Ugh!"
Moon God Emperor's face twisted in pain as he fell straight down. But Mo Li closed in again in the next instant, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel crashing down once more.
Moon God Emperor's pupils widened. A flash of purple light in his hand recalled the Purple Que Divine Sword, and he slashed down with all his might.
Rip!!
The purple moon light scattered like shattered lightning. The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel knocked the Purple Que Divine Sword aside and smashed heavily into Moon God Emperor's chest again. His eyes bulged, but instead of using the force to flee far away, he thrust his arm forward. A beam of purple light shot from the sword tip, exploding a deep purple moon domain on Mo Li's chest.
Boom!!
Moon God Emperor fell, spraying blood. Mo Li's body flipped in the air, her face flashing with a momentary pallor, but she then plunged down at a terrifying speed. The black flames in her eyes rapidly enlarged in Moon God Emperor's pupils.
Clang!!
The Purple Que Divine Sword was sent flying again. The demon wheel's spinning blade, wrapped in black light, tore through his last protective profound force, cut open his Divine Emperor body, embedded itself into his flesh, and blasted a large spray of blood rain on his chest... every drop of blood was a shocking dark crimson.
Moon God Emperor's features twisted. His arm turned into purple crystal, and with an almost desperate force, he pushed Mo Li and the demon wheel away. But before he could get even a moment's respite, the nightmare black light crashed down again.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!!
Swoosh, crack!
The spinning black wheel blade crazily slashed into Moon God Emperor's body, ripping open one pitch-black bloody gash after another, destroying his skin, blood, tendons, bones, and internal organs... Amid the tearing sounds that could make any heart convulse, splashing black blood rained down like a storm, cruelly dragging a generation's God Emperor toward the abyss of death.
Zhou Tian God Emperor forcibly suppressed his injuries and rushed over. An invisible giant palm pierced through the void and struck Mo Li heavily.
Mo Li let out a soft cry and fell straight down like a meteor. But the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel in her hand suddenly flew out, carrying a black trajectory as it swept toward Moon God Emperor. It struck his already bloodied and mangled front torso, the blade piercing through his body and exploding with black light on his back, once again scattering a rain of dark-eroded blood.
"Ah... ah..." Moon God Emperor's pupils were unfocused. His mouth was wide open, but the sounds that came out were extremely weak and hoarse. He felt his consciousness quickly blurring. At the corner of his eyes, a few familiar moon lights seemed to flash. In his ears, a distant, barely audible roar reached him.
"Lord God Emperor!!"
In the western sky, nine moon lights, each distinct but all extremely dense, rapidly approached. Every moon light was the symbol of a Moon God. After arriving at Star God Realm, they rushed over in shock, only to see Moon God Emperor pierced by the demon wheel, blood rain flying.
In that instant, their shock was no less than heaven and earth collapsing.
The fastest, the Golden Moon God Yue Wuji, swooped down and caught Moon God Emperor in his hands. The moment their eyes met, he was so startled his heart nearly stopped.
Moon God Emperor's chest... was completely pierced and smashed. The supreme divine body of a God Emperor had turned into a pile of black rotten flesh. The blood flowing through his hands was also a terrifying dark red.
"Lord... Lord God Emperor..." Yue Wuji's hands trembled as he forced out the difficult, hoarse words.
"Don't... worry about me..." Moon God Emperor said weakly. The terrible wounds on his body, along with the demonic energy invading his whole body... if he weren't the Moon God Emperor, he would have died a thousand deaths. "Quickly... kill... Xie... Ying..."
As he finished speaking, the demonic energy attacked his heart, and he fell unconscious. No, his heart had been completely destroyed. Only the Purple Que Divine Power that had followed him for ten thousand years barely kept his last breath and consciousness intact.
Yue Wuji pressed his palm down, and a mass of golden moon light enveloped Moon God Emperor. Half of it was to forcibly prolong his life; the other half was that he simply dared not let the other Moon Gods see his current miserable state. He turned and roared, "Leave this to me! By the God Emperor's order, kill Xie Ying at all costs!"
The other eight Moon Gods immediately shifted their attention. Over there, Zhou Tian God Emperor and Fantian God Emperor had already resumed their battle with Mo Li, every moment shaking the heavens with awe-inspiring might.
In the northern and southern skies, several auras rapidly approached, each one extremely powerful. And every single one of these auras was very familiar to the Moon Gods.
"Zhou Tian's guardians... eleven of them have come!" the leading Moon God said in a deep voice. His expression changed as he added, "Over there are the Fan Gods and Fan Kings of Fantian Divine Realm... all three Fan Gods are here!"
"Don't get distracted... attack!"
The devastation of Star God Realm was shocking, but they couldn't afford to ask any questions now. The eight Moon Gods released their moon light, like eight bright moons descending from the sky, and attacked Mo Li together.
With eight Moon Gods striking at once, the momentum was vast and boundless. Several moon domains and moon formations descended from different directions, like a storm and hurricane, crashing down on Mo Li. Zhou Tian God Emperor finally got a brief respite. He clasped his hands slightly, his expression heavy, and let out a clear cry. A cyan light emerged on his palm, then instantly pierced through the void, blasting straight at Mo Li.
Crackle!!
An arc-shaped black light split open in the air, tearing apart all the moon domains and moon formations. This scene shocked the eight Moon Gods, their faces turning pale in disbelief. But in that same instant, Zhou Tian God Emperor's palm, shimmering with cyan light, struck Mo Li's lower back.
Pfft!
Mo Li's whole body trembled violently. She spat out a mouthful of black blood, but strangely, she was not pushed back half a step. She slowly turned around, the black flames burning in her pupils almost incinerating the very liver, gallbladder, and soul of the esteemed Zhou Tian God Emperor
into ashes.
Boom!!
The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel slammed heavily into Zhou Tian God Emperor's chest. Demonic qi, like a bursting dam, surged wildly into his body. His eyes bulged, and his chest, face, and entire body rapidly turned a layer of gray-black. Then, like a mindless puppet, he fell straight down from the air.
"Lord... Lord!?"
"Lord!!!!"
Similar to the Moon God Realm, when the group of Zhou Tian guardians arrived, they saw a sight that nearly terrified them to death.
Rumble!
The excessively violent spatial piercing brought a thunderous spatial explosion. Several guardians rushed up like madmen, catching Zhou Tian God Emperor in their hands. The coldness in their hands was like that of a corpse buried for a thousand years in an ice prison.
"Don't... worry about me..." Zhou Tian God Emperor's face was frighteningly ashen, but he struggled to speak. "That's Xie Ying... she is already severely wounded... her power... is also far from what it was... we must kill her at all costs... otherwise... future troubles..."
Before he finished his words, a mouthful of nearly pitch-black crimson blood burst out.
"Rest assured, Lord. We will not fail!" the guardians said with sobs in their voices.
Moon God Emperor had lost consciousness, his life or death unknown. Star God Emperor had crashed to the ground, covered in blood, seemingly with no strength left to fight. Zhou Tian God Emperor's whole body was grievously wounded... It was hard to imagine what immense price they had paid to bring Xie Ying to her current state.
The eleven guardians all turned their heads. In the distant sky, Fantian God Emperor and the eight Moon Gods were jointly battling Xie Ying in a fierce struggle. But even the Xie Ying that Zhou Tian God Emperor had described as severely wounded and far weaker was still terrifying enough to make them doubt their own eyes.
The Moon Gods, who had power comparable to theirs, each when releasing their moon light, their might could envelop an entire vast star realm. But now, the moon domains fully opened by eight Moon Gods were being suppressed to a dim level by the flashing black light... so dim it was pathetic.
Rip!!
With a tearing sound, the profound light of three Moon Gods collapsed, and they flew back, spitting blood. In that instant, the eleven guardians left one to protect Zhou Tian God Emperor, while the other ten tore through the air and charged up.
Rumble!!
The sky, already covered in countless cracks, exploded once more. Everyone had completely forgotten that this was Star God Realm, or rather, no one would believe that this could still be Star God Realm. One God Emperor, eight Moon Gods, ten guardians... what a terrifying lineup. Yet every single person had a gloomy expression, roaring wildly, as all their power crazily suppressed, sealed, and bombarded Xie Ying. No one held anything back, nor dared to.
But this brutal battle did not last long. As half the sky collapsed, another wave of world-shaking power surged up, engulfing Xie Ying directly.
Seven Fan Kings of Fantian Divine Realm arrived. Although fewer than half of the fifteen Fan Kings had come, what shocked everyone's hearts was... behind the seven Fan Kings were clearly the auras of the Fantian Three Fan Gods!
Although no one had ever openly declared it, it was common knowledge among the profound practitioners of the Eastern Domain: the Fantian Three Fan Gods, in terms of status in the Eastern Divine Region, subtly surpassed the Fan Kings, guardians, Star Gods, and Moon Gods.
The title "God Emperor" not only symbolized the status of a Realm King of a king realm, but also represented another level of power—Tenth-rank Divine Lord!
The pinnacle among Divine Lords! The supreme among supremes.
Of the four king realms in the Eastern Domain, Star God Realm and Moon God Realm each had one Tenth-rank Divine Lord: Star God Emperor Xing Juekong and Moon God Emperor Yue Wuyai.
Zhou Tian God Realm had two: Zhou Tian God Emperor Zhou Xuzi and the chief guardian Taiyu Venerable.
And Fantian Divine Realm had a full five: Fantian God Emperor Qianye Fantian, Fandi Shennü Qianye Ying'er, and... the Fantian Three Fan Gods!
One Fantian Divine Realm alone had more "God Emperor" level power—Tenth-rank Divine Lords—than the combined total of the other three king realms in the Eastern Domain. By this point alone, it was worthy of being the foremost of the four king realms.
