"What if he's an Immortal Emperor? He dared to bully my Great Han, he must pay the price in blood!" Wang Zhongsi roared, gripping his long spear. Behind him, Murong Ke unleashed a volley of arrows, compensating for Wang Zhongsi's perceived lack of ferocity. With a thunderous boom, several divine beasts roared, their divine light paving the way!
Bang!
That massive hand shattered space, annihilated countless arrows, and with a fierce tremor, it sealed towards the left, slamming down at Wang Zhongsi. "Kill!" the single word echoed, and Murong Ke's three arrows struck with celestial might. Within the chaotic abyss, the three arrows blazed like myriad stars, illuminating the utterly dark space. Wang Zhongsi raised his long spear, its sharpness piercing through vast swathes of space, approaching the deepest reaches of the abyss.
The fearless fighting spirit of these two human powerhouses moved countless beings. However, the human figures who dared to provoke the Immortal Emperor's might and shatter the abyss sent shivers down the spines of the assembled Immortal Emperors. These two humans were simply too powerful, even more arrogant and defiant than Peacock Ming King of days past. All of Wang Zhongsi's and Murong Ke's attacks intertwined, erupting with immeasurable power that surged skyward, piercing the descending, sky-covering hand.
Clang!
The arrows and the long spear struck the massive hand, emitting a sound like iron and stone. Wang Zhongsi and Murong Ke's arms spurted blood again, their Immortal Treasures shattering one after another. Yet, their combined strike managed to push the palm back by an inch. With a hiss, it actually pierced through Void Immortal Emperor's palm, drawing forth a drop of Emperor's blood!
"Ants, you dare wound me!"
Boom!
At this moment, Void Immortal Emperor was enraged. The very essence of void was annihilated, and the depths of the entire space felt like a vacuum. Instantly, Void Immortal Emperor left his throne and conjured forth a black halberd!
"Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure! Void Immortal Emperor's Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure!" an ancient Quasi-Emperor exclaimed in shock, gazing at the black halberd.
"Impossible, that's an Immortal Emperor, why would he still use an Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure? Don't Immortal Emperors use Supreme Treasures?" some beings questioned, wondering why someone as exalted as an Immortal Emperor would still wield an Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure, a weapon used by Quasi-Emperor powerhouses.
"You are too young. Since the Immortal Realm entered the Age of Emperors, the four great hegemonic powers have ventured deep into the ancient star path, controlling the essential Chaos Stone materials for forging Supreme Treasures. Without Chaos Stone, even with sky-shattering battle prowess and dominion over a region, an Immortal Emperor like yourself cannot forge a Supreme Treasure."
"To solidify their rule, the four great powers initiated the Myriad Races Grand Gathering, where one could obtain a portion of Chaos Stone. Unfortunately, this Void Demon Race member has not acquired any since achieving enlightenment, thus lacking a Supreme Treasure. However, you cannot underestimate that black spear. It is named the Void War Spear, forged from the remains of several powerful Quasi-Emperors and an Immortal Emperor's bones. While not a Supreme Treasure, it is far more potent than any Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure," the ancient Quasi-Emperor stated, his voice trembling as he looked at the black spear.
This Void War Spear had accompanied Void Immortal Emperor throughout his growth, slaying countless powerhouses and once even feasting on Immortal Emperor's blood. It was peerlessly powerful. Although not a Supreme Treasure, in Void Immortal Emperor's hands, it seemed as formidable as one. With the war spear in hand, that sliver of black light exuded an unparalleled sharpness.
"I thought you would produce a Supreme Treasure. To be honest, if you possessed a Supreme Treasure, today's battle would not be fought by just the two of us against you. But you should be grateful for the twists of fate. If you had a Supreme Treasure, you would have died a most miserable death!" Murong Ke scoffed, his casual words stunning the surroundings as he eyed the halberd.
"Without a Supreme Treasure, a dignified Immortal Emperor, once a top Immortal Emperor who controlled twelve Emperor's Fates, possesses no Supreme Treasure. How pathetic! An Immortal Emperor is nothing more than this!" Wang Zhongsi added, popping a pill into his mouth.
His words sent shockwaves through the crowd. All beings were stunned. The powerful Immortal Emperors who had arrived with their divine senses were enraged. What kind of words were these? Everyone present thought they had misheard, simply unable to believe it. These two human Quasi-Emperors were far too arrogant, truly believing that by resisting Void Immortal Emperor, they could be so contemptuous. Talk of Supreme Treasures and Immortal Emperors being 'nothing more than this' incited a burning desire in numerous Immortal Emperors to obliterate these two audacious human Quasi-Emperors.
"Arrogant ants!"
Void Immortal Emperor, gripping the Void War Spear, stared coldly at the duo. It wasn't just the other beings who were bewildered and shocked; he himself was astonished. He hadn't held back in the slightest with his previous attacks, attacks that could have killed even top Quasi-Emperors countless times over. Yet, these two had only sustained minor injuries. He scanned the armor they wore and the divine beasts that stood alive beside them, these being powerful races that had been extremely active during the Underworld Sea era. How had the human race subdued them?
"Kill!"
Murong Ke roared, and several arrows shot forth. With a deafening explosion, Wang Zhongsi stood atop the space, his long spear held high, and with the might of an earth-shattering force, he furiously slammed downwards.
Void Immortal Emperor swung his halberd, his attacks sweeping away all in their path, forcing Wang Zhongsi and Murong Ke to destroy several more Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures. But no matter what, the duo always had Immortal Treasures at hand, as if they had an inexhaustible supply. The world did not know that in recent years, Yang Hao had extracted vast amounts of materials for forging Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures. Under Gan Jiang's craftsmanship, these had been transformed into potent Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures to supplement the human heroes ascending to the Quasi-Emperor realm. For this battle, the two had brought numerous Emperor-grade Immortal Treasures, fighting fiercely on the battlefield.
"Void, you're no good!"
Wang Zhongsi, with viscous blood in his mouth, spoke defiantly. On the other side, Murong Ke's eyes were nearly obscured by demonic energy, his hands trembling slightly as he gripped his war bow. That they had endured until this point since the battle began shocked the world, stunned the Immortal Emperors, and even Void Immortal Emperor himself was impressed by their fighting spirit. To withstand several of his blows and fight to this stage, truthfully, they were already the strongest among the first-tier Quasi-Emperors of the Immortal Realm.
"Die!"
Void Immortal Emperor uttered three words, his body radiating light. His fearsome Emperor's might directly split the sky in the southeastern part of the Immortal Realm. The terrifying Emperor's might had already reached the borders of the Blade Sea Alliance. The boundless might of the Immortal Emperor forced all races to submit, and the terrifying light caused countless territories to tremble madly.
"Battle!!"
"Battle!"
"Heaven-Splitting Oxen Legion!"
"Black Tortoise Legion!"
"White Tiger Legion!"
"Kirin Legion!"
The two roared, and behind each of them floated the banners of two legions. Ten divine beasts shook the sky, and the soldiers of the four legions instantly stirred, streaks of light flowing across their battle blades.
