Chapter 401 - 401 90 Siege of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 401: Chapter 90: Siege of the Purple Emperor Chapter 401: Chapter 90: Siege of the Purple Emperor With a booming explosion, half of the city wall of Yuezhou collapsed.

“Despicable!”

A heart-deep roar of fury reverberated throughout the sky.

Then, a beam of purple light shot upward, rushing towards the clouds.

Purple Emperor didn’t have time to think about anything right now, nor did he want to. His only intention was to escape as quickly as possible.

The resentment in his heart right now was enough to make him lose his senses.

You exploited morality, karma of the Great Dao, forcibly fettered me, forcing me to fight for Yuezhou. Eventually, when Yuezhou was safe… I was betrayed by you!

Can things in this world be done in such a way?

Is this something humans would do?

Objectively speaking, He Bibiqu’s behavior today, whether viewed from the standpoint of moral codes or social conventions, was quite disgraceful.

Yet, all he felt now was arrogance and self-satisfaction.

So easy to turn the tide in his favor.

This plan is simply brilliant.

Not only did he save Yuezhou, but also trapped the Purple Emperor.

At least from the perspective of my family and country, I did what I felt was right and I did it splendidly!

As for karma and development of the Great Dao… What have they got to do with me? In my whole life, I have never reached the Heavenly Level; I’ve merely spinning around at the Earth Level, not to mention levels above that…

The so-called eternal youth, that’s the business of you transcendent cultivators… and it has nothing to do with me at all.

From any point of view, trapping you, Purple Emperor is just that. I have no guilt whatsoever, only great pleasure.

As for those who have been truly wronged, it’s Master Ling who should be apologized to, both morally and rationally,

Everywhere along the horizon, dark clouds filled the sky, blotting out the sky and the sun.

The vast body of the Golden Emperor appeared and disappeared in the misty clouds above, with dark light enveloping the sky and the earth!

The Golden Emperor at this moment was already giving his all!

Purple Emperor was desperate to leave, and besides himself, no one else could stop him!

Taking a couple of blows from an expert of Cloud Top and stopping such an expert from making a full-effort breakout are two entirely different matters!

Only if he himself were to stop them first, blunt their edge, could he create the opportunity to besiege them.

With another booming sound, the purple light and the dark energy pushed back against the void as the result of their strong impact.

It was the result of the Golden Emperor and the Purple Emperor clashing with their full force, each of them withdrawing after the high-altitude rebound, thus mitigating part of the impact aftermath.

While retreating, the purple light surged again, filling the sky and the earth.

The Golden Emperor roared from the dark clouds, and two beams of highly concentrated dark light shot out from his eyes, strongly confronting the surging purple energy!

The two experts were simultaneously deploying their ultimate moves, a bare-knuckle showdown without any pretense!

The great power shifted the color of the sky and earth, and within a fifty-mile radius, the earth could be seen splitting.

“Roar!”

Purple Emperor groaned, his vitality and blood circulation became even more unstable.

“Hiss!”

The Golden Emperor let out a painful hiss. His original power was already slightly inferior to the Purple Emperor, and he spent a hundred years recuperating, so his progress was slower. Although he was still in the same realm, his actual strength was indeed inferior to that of the Purple Emperor.

But this one collision had already caused the situation to change drastically.

The dozens of dark lights on the side took advantage of this shockwave to surround the purple light from all sides, displaying the innate fighting skills and talents of the snake race, rising wave upon wave, one after another, in a continuous attack.

The Purple Emperor turned and twisted in the middle as if he were in a whirlwind, with the purple light advancing instead of retreating, and he roared loudly, “Golden Emperor! Don’t be stupid! Going all out with me will only result in both of us getting hurt. What’s the point for you? Down there, there are so many people from Great Qin waiting for our injuries!”

Black blood flowed straight from the mouth of the Golden Emperor, whose injuries were extremely serious. His eyes were shining with fierce light, though: “Purple Emperor, you’re the greatest enemy of my life, the source of my nightmares. Missing today, it would be hard to have the chance to kill you again. I’d rather drag you with me than let you live!”

He stood straight, as if trying to connect heaven and earth, laughing heartily, shaking the mountains and rivers: “What joy is there in living? What fear in death? You, Purple Emperor are ready to go all the way, and so am I! Children, kill him! Slay the Purple Emperor and glorify our snake clan’s might!”

His colossal body spun in mid-air, bringing with it a huge gust of wind, charging forward with great momentum.

With a resonating hum in the air, a large bell appeared vaguely, surrounded by black light, and slammed hard on the purple light.

The Purple Emperor groaned and couldn’t suppress the surging energy and blood in his chest. A few drops of purple blood fell from the sky.

The Golden Emperor then shouted: “Slaying Saint Formation!”

Several tens of the transformed snake kings moved in response, connecting head to tail, forming a gigantic black light, of unprecedented grandeur.

“Kill the Purple Emperor today!”

The Golden Emperor roared fiercely: “Purple Emperor, come and meet your doom!”

“Kill the Purple Emperor? With just you guys, it’s not enough!”

As he spoke, the Purple Emperor suddenly turned into a blurry shadow, darting left and right, sometimes dividing into dozens of purple rays for dispersed attacks, sometimes charging left and right, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes escaping into the ground.

Despite being surrounded by forty or fifty peak masters and being at a disadvantage, he still managed to balance his offense and defense with poise and order, never appearing flustered.

However, as the serpent tribe’s formation became more tightly constructed, the Purple Emperor’s situation became increasingly difficult and dire.

As the battle continued, the residual shockwaves became more intense. The city of Yuezhou, nearby, inevitably suffered collateral damage. From time to time, a fierce power would strike aimlessly, landing within or outside Yuezhou city, revealing a large pit with a loud explosion, with many unfortunate people dying and being buried within.

The whole of Yuezhou city was under the veil of the shockwaves from this epic battle, as if it were in the midst of a nine-level earthquake.

But there was nothing they could do about it; no one had the means or the authority to intervene!

Such a battle had already come extremely close to heaven and earth’s great power. With the human resources currently available in Yuezhou city, there was simply no way to stop it.

Even the most powerful forces in existence had no qualification to intervene, let alone them who were barely managing to retreat!

As soon as the tide of monsters stopped, all the people from Supreme Mountain evacuated to a vacant area to rest, healed their wounds, took their medicines, and recuperated. They were lucky to have escaped death, only for a purple light to fall upon them. With a loud bang, more than a dozen people instantly turned into scattered flesh!

Mo Yuantu was not hit directly by the purple light, but he was blown over ten times. When he stood up with his head spinning, he saw that everyone’s faces were pale, and their bodies were covered in blood and guts!

“…”

He wanted to curse to vent his anger, but under these circumstances, he didn’t dare provoke the Purple Emperor.

Even though the Purple Emperor was at a disadvantage, if they really angered him and he recklessly charged down and cleaned up himself and others, it would be a matter of course.

Since there was nothing they could do, they had to silently swallow this bitter pill.

The earth continued to shake.

Wu Tiejun and Fei Xinyu gathered all the experts in Yuezhou city to form a military formation at the city center. They unified their strengths, manipulated the terrain, and tried their best to resist the nearby falling power and sustain their position.

As for everything else, they had no energy to spare.

In other directions, Sky Stealer and Zhu Weiran husband and wife also took action in a relatively covert way, striving to minimize or dissipate the scattered waves of attacks.

Despite the cessation of the monster tide, the city of Yuezhou was still shrouded in smoke and dust, with black clouds densely covering the sky, almost blinding visibility.

Nobody could see anyone else, so they didn’t need to worry about revealing their location.

Apart from them, the ancient trees in the city were all trying their best to extend their branches and leaves, connect with the earth veins, and cover as much as possible to protect the living beings….

…

“Many thanks, Leopard Elder.”

Seeing the monster tide stop, He Bibiqu, who had been forcibly supporting herself, felt her legs give out. She could barely stand up with the support of Leopard Elder.

The negotiation just now was indeed beyond what He Bibiqu could bear in her life. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a matter of life and death!

Just withstanding the aura from the Golden Emperor almost caused her old wounds to recur. She had been supporting herself until now, relying solely on her belief in protecting the people of Yuezhou city.

This time, being repeatedly washed over by the overwhelming aura of the strong beings in the Cloud Top, He Bibiqu’s organs were all damaged. It would probably take her a long time to recover. Fortunately, she still had a few healing pills given by Doctor Feng. Otherwise, even if she didn’t die, her strength would inevitably be completely exhausted and her cultivation path aborted.

“Don’t mention it.” Leopard Elder’s old age was even more evident, and he even felt his teeth loosening.

He gave a bitter smile and said, “If the Golden Emperor slaughtered the city, I would be unable to escape. I’m just trying to save myself.”

“Without Leopard Elder’s buffering, Yuezhou would have no turning point. By now, it would have been destroyed.”

He Bibiqu sighed heavily.

Although due to her abilities, the level of power displayed by the Golden Emperor and the Purple Emperor already exceeded her understanding, she could still judge that if the serpent tribe had used such power to attack just now, Yuezhou would have already been breached, and the billions of serpent army would have invaded the city. Whether Yuezhou city still existed would be debatable.

All their preparations were utterly useless in the face of absolute power.

At most, it could kill tens of millions of low-level serpent tribes, but in the grand scheme of things, it was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water. It was more likely to provoke the serpent tribe and evoke an even more brutal retaliation.

“When I go back this time, I must suggest that we and other places promote people with higher martial skills to take charge of the general situation. The unexpected incident this time not only came too suddenly but also we lacked the ability to respond and were helplessly overwhelmed,” He Bibiqu sighed.

Looking back at what the Golden Emperor said, she had indeed felt touched.

‘With your cultivation level, you also hold a high office amongst humans.’

These words were not unreasonable.

At least when facing absolute power, no matter how cunning or resourceful she was, her extensive experience couldn’t resist the attack of a formidable power!

Therefore, in today’s world, martial strength is the most important.
