Chapter 699: Chapter 698: [The Legendary Blood-Boiling Emperor Battle]

"You say Sun Never Sets Mountain is impregnable, yet I shall set foot upon it..."

Bang Dong!

Emperor Ao Kong was overwhelmingly powerful. Who had ever dared to speak to him in such a manner? As the sovereign of the Martial Arts Great World, even in his twilight years, even on the verge of passing away, with his battle prowess not as formidable as before, he was still not someone ordinary powerhouses could contend with. An Emperor, even at the moment of passing away, could still create shockwaves that reverberated through the ages. Even after they were gone, they would influence the Magic Laws in this Martial Arts Great World for nearly a hundred thousand years. That is the might of an Emperor—beyond the imagination of others, a level of strength you can’t comprehend unless you reach that realm.

He stepped down towards the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain, a display of Emperor Ao Kong’s divine might as an Emperor and his contempt for the being within the mountain, aiming to crush it underfoot.

Boom!

The entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain, however, was no ordinary opponent. A colossal black hand swept out, ignoring Emperor Ao Kong’s left foot as it descended and instead releasing an immense palm that blotted out the sky and smothered the heavens, casting a shadow over the entire sky, as if a Demon was deploying a world-conquering Demon Skill, causing palpitations of terror.

On that black palm, were eighty-one massive black vortexes, their sucking force causing all cultivators on Earth to tremble uncontrollably. Had it not been for Emperor Ao Kong’s presence, who could have stood against it? Perhaps with a single slap, tens of thousands of cultivators would be obliterated, both spirit and body.

Despite his advanced years, Emperor Ao Kong, who had consumed Immortal Elixirs to extend his life upon becoming an Emperor, had toughed out thirty thousand years. Incredibly powerful, even at this moment, he still forcefully confronted the being within Sun Never Sets Mountain. Facing the giant palm that blotted out the heavens from inside the mountain, his old style remained undiminished as he stepped down again. As the palm almost struck down, the "Mixed Element Bell" in his right hand instantly expanded to block the giant hand.

Bang Dong!

The heavens shattered and the sun and moon lost their light. In this clash of Emperor-level powers, everyone’s divine soul trembled. All cultivators across the planet, strong or weak, knelt on the ground, praying that Emperor Ao Kong could suppress the being within Sun Never Sets Mountain. Otherwise, not only would the cultivators on Earth face catastrophe, but all cultivators of the entire Martial Arts Great World could meet with fatal disasters.

Nobody had anticipated that within Sun Never Sets Mountain, there would be an entity that could match a Great Emperor, contend with an Emperor. How mighty was this being? It was like a towering Demon Emperor. Emperor Ao Kong was the fifth Emperor in the Martial Arts Great World to ascend to Emperorhood in millions of years. If even he were to fall, who else could contend with the being within Sun Never Sets Mountain? Even the Emperor’s Artifact could not hold it back. Even the long-standing Immortal Sect could be annihilated with a single move. Apart from a Great Emperor, who else had the power to suppress it?

"Mixed Element Bell, you refined it using the Chaos Qi, which is the fundamental birthplace of all things. It is indeed very powerful!" The Devil Sound from within Sun Never Sets Mountain transmit out.

"That year, I neglected to enter the mountain and eradicate you. Today, I will annihilate you, to bring peace to all the cultivators of the entire Martial Arts Great World!" Emperor Ao Kong said, staring intently into the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain.

"Righteous and majestic, appearing virtuous, the false image of Emperors saving the world can deceive those foolish cultivators. But to deceive me? That’s impossible. After your death, I shall dominate for millions of years!" the entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain roared loudly.

"Let it all end. I should also fulfill the mission of my ascension to Emperor," Emperor Ao Kong said, glancing into the depths of the cosmos, with an unusual luster in his eyes.

"Ao Kong, are you really resigned to die like this? If you keep fighting me like this, you won’t get the better end. The Immortal Path might soon appear. After agonizingly persevering for over thirty thousand years, don’t you wish to become an Immortal, don’t you want to see it even once?" The entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain, seeming to know what Emperor Ao Kong was planning, spoke with a hint of panic.

"Becoming an Immortal, attaining the Tao, it’s naturally the dream of every cultivator. However, everyone is born in an era, not only with their own pursuits but also with missions they must fulfill. Eternal Life becoming an Immortal is predetermined to be out of my reach. My final mission is to suppress you and to preserve the peace of this Martial Arts Great World!" Emperor Ao Kong said with steadfast divine light in his eyes.

"Hahaha, Ao Kong, you are too naive. Do you think within this Martial Arts Great World, only I would wish to emerge? You are wrong. Not to say that you cannot suppress me, but even if you could, it would not stop several others from emerging. By that time, this Martial Arts Great World will become Hell!" The entity within Sun Never Sets Mountain laughed and roared.

Emperor Ao Kong did not speak any further but shook his head, his eyes radiating divine light that saw through everything. His "Mixed Element Bell" blocked the palm rushing out from Sun Never Sets Mountain. His right foot was already slowly lifting, ready to tread down towards the depths of Sun Never Sets Mountain.

Boom Dong!

Thunderous booms shook the heavens and the earth, causing the entire Earth to tremble. Had it not been for Earth’s history of birthing two Great Emperors, who left behind Emperor Forms to protect it, it might have shattered into oblivion. Battles of such Emperor Level intensity could annihilate vast star domains—let alone a small planet. The majestic battle power that caused cultivators from all quarters to tremble and kneel in worship was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, it must be said that the existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain was formidable., able to contend with Emperor Ao Kong who had lived for thirty thousand years. Even the stomping of two Emperor’s feet into the Sun Never Sets Mountain failed to Shock Kill it; the mountain merely cracked, almost turning into nothingness. If not for the powerful Formations bolstering the entire Sun Never Sets Mountain, formations not inferior to those set by a Great Emperor, the mountain would likely have turned to ashes.

"You can’t kill me. You’re about to turn into dust; why still cling to this breath and oppose me?" roared the existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain.

At this moment, Emperor Ao Kong aged to the brink, his feet slowly turning into Immortal Feathers, disintegrating bit by bit, the dissolution radiating to every corner of the Martial Arts Great World. Cultivators in all domains saw this and sensed the meaning. They knew that at the moment of his demise, Emperor Ao Kong had not forgotten to return to Earth to deal with the troubles that may plague future generations, to Shock Kill the supreme existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain.

"Great Emperor, please accept our bow, you are truly worthy!"

"Great Emperor, even in your final moment, you thought to Shock Kill the demon within the Sun Never Sets Mountain. We are willing to forgo a lifetime of cultivation to lend you our strength!"

"Great Emperor, you are on the verge of turning to dust, your battle power greatly reduced, yet you still fight desperately to ensure the Human Clan’s safety. We are eternally grateful!"

The battle between Emperor Ao Kong and the supreme demon of the Sun Never Sets Mountain was destined to be legendary, and destined to be inscribed in the annals of history, never to be forgotten by future generations. This was an Emperor who had sacrificed himself for the sake of others, living through thirty thousand years, a truly remarkable feat. Yet at the time of his demise, he returned to Earth, reclaimed the Emperor’s Artifact "Mixed Element Bell," not to avenge the extinction of his legacy, but to destroy the existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, to protect the safety of the Human Clan.

"With my Emperor Blood, I sacrifice to the Emperor’s Artifact; with my blood, I Quake Heaven and Earth!"

With a thundering shout, a stream of Essence Blood shot from the brow of Emperor Ao Kong, striking the Emperor’s Artifact "Mixed Element Bell." Instantly, the bell trembled, turning the obstructing black palm to dust. An Emperor using an Emperor’s Artifact, compared to others trying to wield it, was a difference between heaven and earth, utterly incomparable. Even as Emperor Ao Kong was undergoing the process of turning to dust, he still possessed an imperial might that none would dare desecrate.

Dang!

The Mixed Element Bell emitted a burst of Golden Light, collapsing the Heavenly Vault, and enveloping the Sun Never Sets Mountain. This time, it didn’t enlarge to encompass the entire mountain but instead sent forth a piercing divine light that shot straight into the Sun Never Sets Mountain.

"Ahh... Ao Kong..." The heavens and earth echoed with roars of rage, and then all the strength was controlled by Emperor Ao Kong. In the final moment, the existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain still tried to fight back.

"This is as much as I can do. It seems I no longer possess the battle power to completely erase you, but I can suppress you with the Mixed Element Bell for a million years. This has been the mission passed down to me by the previous Great Emperors, which I have now completed, albeit with some guilt; yet, it’s not too late," Emperor Ao Kong said, looking deeply into the Sun Never Sets Mountain.

When peace had been restored to heaven and earth, Emperor Ao Kong disappeared. No one knew where he went. Many thought he had turned to dust, as it was clearly seen that his body was dissipating, his Martial Arts True Power disintegrating and spreading to every corner of the Martial Arts Great World. But the Sun Never Sets Mountain, although fractured, still had a significant area left. Deep within, it was suppressed by the "Mixed Element Bell," and no one dared to step into it again. The existence within the Sun Never Sets Mountain was not dead, only suppressed by Emperor Ao Kong using his Emperor Blood to energize the Emperor’s Artifact. Everyone in the Martial Arts Great World, throughout the star domains, felt the power of this battle. If not for Emperor Ao Kong’s control, not just Earth, but most of the star domains would have been destroyed, countless cultivators having their essence and divine wiped out.

Ye Tianchen, Dongfang Meng, and Tianshuang were on their way toward the direction of the Sun Never Sets Mountain. As Dongfang Meng and Tianshuang narrated the various legends of the Sun Never Sets Mountain to Ye Tianchen, he was utterly astonished. Even an Emperor Realm existence could not destroy the being within the Sun Never Sets Mountain, only suppress it with a Supreme Artifact. This was beyond Ye Tianchen’s imagination—the battle of two Emperor Realm figures, a roar that shattered the sun and moon, a punch that grieved the Galaxy!

"How long ago was this legend?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"I don’t know!" Dongfang Meng shook her head.

"No one knows the exact time. Only the Ancient Martial Sects with ancient legacies have heard of it. It’s just been far too long. Our Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect’s Grandmaster once calculated that it has probably been over five million years!" Tianshuang also said in a surprised tone after narrating the tale.
