Kuang Mu was dead, and they had lost a Second-Order Emperor Venerable.
Although the Overlord had become an Emperor, he was still a little lacking compared to a Second-Order Emperor Venerable.
"Alas."
Sighs continued to echo.
Their faith was to give everything for the Immortal Realm.
The death of a comrade was not unacceptable, merely a temporary setback.
...
Inside the tent at this time, sighs also occasionally rang out.
"Kuang Mu, what a pity."
A Second-Order Emperor Venerable was gone just like that.
Not to mention the female Emperor Venerable who was killed first.
"That's enough."
The Venerable suppressed his emotions. "Now is not the time for grief. They died for the Immortal Realm. Many will die in this pursuit of the Azure Emperor.
When that time comes, we will find our departed brothers for a drink."
He said these words with a suppressed sadness, but the effect was surprisingly good.
"Haha, the Venerable is right. Let Kuang Mu go first, and we brothers will follow soon..."
"That old Kuang always boasted about how powerful he was. When I get down there, I'll bury him with mockery, haha... I'll be fighting the Azure Emperor, and he can only watch..."
"Right, right, that Kuang Mu will definitely be envious to death."
"..."
The atmosphere in the tent improved significantly.
Seeing this, the Venerable raised his hand and said, "Next, let's make arrangements. First, the Azure Emperor's six Second-Order Supreme Beings must be dealt with. Tu Er, Bardos... you will lead..."
The plan was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
This was a plan that had been made long ago. Apart from the absence of Kuang Mu and the female Supreme Being, everyone else was present.
A moment later, everyone stood up and led their men away.
It was close.
They would act soon.
The crowd dispersed, silently surrounding the Azure Emperor Mountain.
Western Continent.
Chen Fan was waiting for the war in the Azure Continent to erupt.
Once the attention of the Five Continents was drawn to the Azure Continent, it would be his time to strike.
Killing intent had long since overflowed.
...
Time flowed slowly.
On this day, the sky... darkened.
"Boom."
At the foot of the Azure Emperor Mountain, above a massive mansion, a colossal heavy blade sword suddenly appeared.
The heavy sword slashed down, and with a 'boom', it directly split the mansion open.
Instantly, countless casualties occurred within the mansion.
Wails and screams rose one after another.
"Who?"
A green halo spread from the mansion and rose into the sky.
A giant ancient tree grew on the spot to a height of a hundred meters, and a figure stood on its trunk.
The figure in green robes looked with a grave expression at the figure wielding the heavy blade.
"Who are you to dare to act at the foot of the Azure Emperor Mountain..."
"Kill."
There was no response.
Only a word filled with boundless killing intent.
Kill.
The heavy blade reappeared, slashing down.
"How dare you."
The ancient tree grew, its branches like divine weapons piercing heaven and earth.
Clang, clang, clang.
The branches collided with the heavy blade, emitting a sound like metal striking metal.
The battle had begun.
This was just the first location, but it was the fuse.
At the same time, from the four directions of the Azure Emperor Mountain, powerful auras erupted.
In an instant, thirteen battlefields were ignited.
"Resolve them quickly."
The Venerable did not attack, hiding in the shadows to provide support.
They were short-handed, and in some battlefields, several Half-Emperors were jointly fighting one Emperor Venerable.
Of course, this was just the largest battlefield.
At the foot of the Azure Emperor Mountain, besides the residences of First-Order Emperor Venerables, there were also those of Half-Emperors.
From these residences, people rushed out, slaughtering on the spot.
"Rumble."
The heavens and earth of the Eastern Continent were thrown into chaos.
Forces from all sides struck, and an immense aura of killing permeated the heavens and earth, spreading in all directions.
Nearly twenty Emperor Venerables attacking simultaneously triggered the rules and great dao of the Immortal Realm.
The river of origin was also in turmoil.
"Swish, swish, swish."
The shockwaves of the rules across the Five Continents instantly alerted all cultivators at or above the Half-Emperor level.
The turbulence of the rules was too violent to be hidden from others.
"Eastern Continent."
Soon, these people pinpointed the location.
The source of the disturbance came from the Eastern Continent.
"Has a major battle broken out?" someone muttered.
"Oh, I know. It's those madmen... who want to fight the Azure Emperor..." As he spoke, he chuckled to himself.
Overestimating their abilities.
How could one fight an Emperor of Heaven with such ease?
It was impossible to succeed.
...
Western Continent.
Chen Fan sensed it.
The rules of the Immortal Realm were in violent turmoil.
The clashing of the great daos of rules caused the spiritual energy of the entire world to become disordered.
"They're making their move."
Chen Fan spoke, then stood up. "While the Azure Continent is attracting attention, this is our best opportunity."
The Mad Emperor did not speak, but his expression was extremely solemn.
"Heh."
Chen Fan's pupils transformed into the river of life and death.
He looked towards White Emperor Mountain, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"I wonder how many Emperor Venerables are on White Emperor Mountain." He licked his lips, a hint of bloodlust appearing.
"... How do we fight?"
"Of course, we fight stealthily. Heh."
Launching a blatant attack on the mountain was something only a fool would do.
Let's assassinate a few first.
"Buzz."
His senses instantly spread out.
Soon, the aura of an Emperor Venerable appeared within his range of perception.
And the other party did not detect him.
How could a First-Order Emperor Venerable detect another First-Order Emperor Venerable?
"Whoosh."
Chen Fan's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, teleporting with the Mad Emperor.
...
"What's going on?"
Chong Shun opened his eyes from his cultivation. "Why do I have a heart-pounding feeling?"
He sensed the battle breaking out in the Azure Continent.
However, it had nothing to do with the Western Continent.
There was still the Central Continent between the two continents.
Would someone attack the Western Continent?
It wasn't impossible, but... White Emperor Mountain had not received any news.
Although the Immortal Realm was vast, nothing could be hidden from an Emperor of Heaven.
Even something as secret as the fishing crew's plan to fight the Azure Emperor was known to them long ago.
It was just that no one cared.
Some people wanted to watch the show, and the Azure Emperor had said nothing from beginning to end.
The antics of the weak could not draw the Azure Emperor's attention.
Chong Shun frowned, his sense of crisis growing stronger.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, he felt as if the surrounding world was being suppressed and isolated by something.
"Not good."
In an instant, Chong Shun reacted.
A domain, it was an Imperial Palace.
Imperial Palaces could be used as domains, covering a world and severing perception with the outside.
The moment the power of the rules became illusory, he understood what had happened.
"Someone wants to kill me."
Boom.
Chong Shun reacted instantly.
"Spear, come."
With a wave of his hand, with a 'rumble', an Imperial Palace appeared.
It was Chong Shun's Imperial Palace, which instantly transformed into a long spear in his hand.
"Break for me."
Using his Imperial Palace as a spear, his spear intent soared to the heavens.
Rumble, rumble.
The long spear shattered heaven and earth, but it could not shatter the enveloped space.
Chong Shun's expression became even more grim.
"Not a First-Order."
If it were a First-Order, he would be confident in breaking it.
Such intensity could not possibly belong to a First-Order Emperor Venerable.
Second-Order, or Third-Order?
Chong Shun was terrified but dared not stop his actions.
Rumble, rumble.
The long spear struck out continuously, aiming at the sky.
"Alas."
A sigh made Chong Shun's hair stand on end.
The voice was right behind him.
The long spear suddenly swiveled and stabbed backward.
Clang.
A sound of metal striking metal.
The long spear stopped.
Chong Shun tried to retrieve the spear, but he couldn't.
His spear was held fast.
Boundless fear enveloped him, and he abandoned the spear and fled in an instant.
He had no choice but to do so.
When he stood firm and turned around, his pupils contracted sharply.
A young figure stood there, exuding an air of detached nonchalance, holding the tip of the spear, transformed from the Imperial Palace, between two jade-like fingers.
"Heh."
Chen Fan smiled. "You're quite quick to react."
He had intended to kill without a sound, but he hadn't expected the other party to discover him.
Indeed, powerful beings had sharp senses for danger.
However, as long as the outcome remained unchanged, it was fine.
"Who are you?"
Chong Shun's heart sank to the bottom.
He tried to contact others, but he couldn't.
This place was completely enveloped and sealed by the power of the other party's Imperial Palace.
"Chen Fan."
He was never afraid to announce his name.
"The Lord of Sword City?"
Chong Shun had heard of this name.
He was familiar with Bai Long, and he had heard this name from him.
Chong Shun hesitated. "Does the City Lord have any past grievances with me?"
"No."
"Then City Lord..."
"Sorry."
He said sorry, but there was no hint of apology on his face.
Chen Fan said, "I intend to kill the White Emperor, so naturally I must first deal with the troublesome matters."
Chong Shun's pupils contracted. "You intend to kill the White Emperor?"
Are you f***ing crazy?
This was his subconscious thought.
The group of moths in the Azure Continent might have a chance to fight the Azure Emperor, as they had numbers.
But what about this Lord of Sword City?
A lone individual, attempting to fight an Emperor of Heaven?
This was beyond laughable.
