Chapter 1060: Chapter 845: Gatling Bodhisattva_3

At this moment, under Nezha’s guidance, Li Xuan’s blade skills had greatly improved, yet he was still no match for the Emperor of the South.

After exchanging no more than a thousand blows, the Changsheng Emperor of the South had already struck Li Xuan three times.

However, Li Xuan’s body merely emitted bursts of booming noises, akin to the sound of metal striking a massive cauldron.

Li Xuan’s Golden Body was so robust that not even the Divine Power of the Changsheng Emperor could inflict more than a few minor wounds on him.

But with the Baosheng Emperor, who mastered the Law of ’Medicine’ and ’Life’, as his rear support, Li Xuan could recover from any injury in an instant.

The Changsheng Emperor, however, didn’t seem to care much, as her purpose in descending here was not to seriously injure Li Xuan but to restrain him, preventing him from inscribing Lvling on the Book of Jinque.

The Book of Jinque, a divine treasure originated from the combination of The Classic of Mountains and Rivers, the Investiture of the Gods, and the Book of Life and Death by the First Emperor, alongside the many innate spiritual objects from the Three Mountains and Five Lakes, was a postnatal treasure yet possessed power nearing that of the primeval divine artifacts.

Together with Li Xuan’s Divine Power as the Heaven Emperor, it was enough to influence the entire battle situation.

As the boundless Thunderbolt Sword Qi continued bombarding Li Xuan, the undying soldiers under the command of the Emperor of the South had already advanced to within seven miles from those Taixu Battleships.

This immortal army, despite having lost over two hundred thousand to the bombardment of cannon fire and bullets from the steel warships, still surged forward with a million-strong troop, their formation tight and their momentum as if capable of sweeping away all obstacles.

The Changsheng Emperor couldn’t help but let out a disdainful cold snicker as she coldly watched Li Xuan, "I would like to see what else you can do. Who else in this world can help you?"

Yue Wumu’s military tactics were exceptional, but even the best chef can’t cook without rice, and the elite forces under Gouchen Emperor’s command would eventually break through Yue Wumu’s Central Army.

The Fighting Buddha will also have to return to the Heaven of Shendu eventually.

Li Xuan, however, chuckled, his lips lifting slightly, "For me to break your army, why would I need the help of others? However—"

Li Xuan’s gaze then swept towards his own Central Army, "Indeed, I have prepared some contingencies."

At that moment, on the battlefield, there appeared a gigantic blood-red phoenix with nine heads, its Nirvana divine flames spilling across thousands of miles.

"I am the wife of Haotian, Queen Mother Jiufeng! Today, I have something to say. There was a prophecy when Haotian fell: in future generations, an Emperor will rise, sweep across all realms undefeated and be known as ’Mysterious Yellow’. This Emperor shall be the fourth Heavenly Emperor and inherit the Haotian Fatong!"

In that instant, the entire battlefield fell silent. All of Haotian’s former followers couldn’t help but show a hue of awe in their eyes.

Both Ziwei and Gouchen Emperors, who were also in the Central Army’s battlefield, had faces as dark as water.

The words of Queen Mother Jiufeng not only fortified Li Xuan’s legitimacy to inherit the position of Heaven Emperor but also swayed the former subordinates of Haotian to his side, greatly impacting the two Emperors.

Although both were once Heaven’s subordinates and held transcendent statuses, not directly under Haotian, they still had the bond of monarch and servant.

"Queen Mother Jiufeng?"

The complexion of the Changsheng Emperor of the South turned extremely cold, her eyes chilling like ice, seemingly able to freeze the surrounding void, "She is a prisoner of the Saints, and you dare to release her?"

"Such preposterous claims, Your Majesty,"

Li Xuan replied with a slight smirk, "As the Heaven Emperor, I rule all creatures, the laws of heaven and earth, and all the rules and decrees. To me, what crime has Queen Mother Jiufeng committed? As for you, Changsheng of the South—"

His gaze carried an immense pressure, "For you to stand against your sovereign today, how should you be punished?"

The Changsheng Emperor remained silent, but the force of her sword became even more powerful and fierce.

However, when her Thunderbolt Sword Qi struck Li Xuan, its force somewhat weakened, and it could no longer penetrate Li Xuan’s Golden Body.

Back then, Haotian controlled the Emperors by relying on more than just nominal authority. He wielded something with a power akin to the Rule of the Book of Jinque, coercing the various Emperors.

Originally, Li Xuan’s self-proclamation as the Heaven Emperor had no effect on her.

But Queen Mother Jiufeng’s words today truly gave Li Xuan the rightful status, inheriting the Haotian Fatong, thereby establishing a certain monarch-subject relationship between them.

Li Xuan sensed the reduction in pressure immediately, a slight smile forming on his lips, "Today, my unification of the heavens is a foregone conclusion! Perhaps you should consider my earlier proposal? Your Majesty, by obstructing me today, you merely wish to prevent the birth of the Heaven Emperor and awaken the Saints, but since it can’t be stopped, why not reconsider?"

Star Lord Taibai, Li Changgeng, who was in the distance, slightly zoned out upon hearing these words.

He was unaware of what proposal Li Xuan was referring to. When he was ordered to the enemy ranks to negotiate with the Emperors of Ziwei, Gouchen, and others, Li Xuan hadn’t instructed him to convey any message.

Li Changgeng then pondered, wondering if some secret agreement had taken place when he was detaining the true spirits of the South and Gouchen?

But what exactly was the proposal?

At this moment, the Changsheng Emperor of the South also showed a flicker of movement in her eyes, but then she noticed that Li Xuan was preparing to inscribe another decree on the Book of Jinque.

"Stop!"

The Changsheng Emperor’s third eye on her forehead opened, and she suddenly cleaved a golden Thunderbolt,

At the same time, she transformed into a three-headed six-armed form, each arm wielding its own pair of swords, iron whips, and axes, a total of six divine treasure weapons, to continue bombarding Li Xuan’s flesh. Li Xuan had no choice but to stop midway and channel his Mana into his body, resisting the weapons barrage from the Changsheng Emperor.
