Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Zhenwu Conquers Demons

Boom! Boom! Boom...

One by one, the soldiers from King Yan Palace transformed into an annihilative arrow barrage that descended upon millions of celestial corpses, creating explosions one after another, their bright light illuminating the darkened heavens and earth.

Liu Chenxiang, with the Mountain God’s Axe in hand, spun his body around like a tornado devastating the sea of corpses, making the burly men trying to block him completely unable to withstand the assault.

Yang Chan, not worried about her son, took out the Treasure Lotus Lamp, intending to join the fight, but was stopped by Qin Jun.

"What is a woman doing on the battlefield!"

Qin Jun snorted, shamelessly forgetting he had let Yang Chan fight before, trying to take the opportunity to flirt.

Yang Chan rolled her eyes but obediently did not make a move.

Now, King Yan Palace had changed from what it once was, no longer requiring her to take action.

Boom—

Zhenwu Emperor sliced down with his sword, felling the thousand-foot-tall Lord of Fate, his absolute power causing the lord to smash onto the ground, crushing many soldiers and corpse cultivators beneath him, splattering blood, and shaking the earth violently, a scene that made Zhenwu Emperor frown.

He was eager to draw the Lord of Fate away, but doing so would give Xu Chongsheng the opportunity to exploit.

Xu Chongsheng did not make a move, quietly overseeing the entire battlefield as if he had already anticipated the outcome.

Young Master You and others were also approaching the battleground.

Xia Yanye spoke softly, "To reach the late stage of Daluo in the Immortal Realm is not bad."

The Young Master You beside him secretly clicked his tongue. His father had said that to reach the late stage of Daluo in the Immortal Realm, one would find few opponents in the world, and Xu Chongsheng was indeed at that stage.

But such strength seemed insignificant in the eyes of Xia Yanye.

"However... the truly powerful ones are inside the city," continued Xia Yanye, causing Young Master You’s heart to skip a beat.

Were there those even stronger than the late stage of Daluo in the Immortal Realm?

Could it be the mysterious demoness who with a flip of her hand annihilated the million-strong army of the Corpse Emperor Palace that day?

Young Master You anxiously asked, "Senior Xia, are you confident?"

"Of course, even if your father, the Nether Emperor, were my enemy, I would not fear," Xia Yanye said indifferently, bringing relief to Young Master You.

He had absolute confidence in his father, the Nether Emperor, the second strongest in the world, which said it all.

"Zhenwu Conquers Demons!"

Zhenwu Emperor suddenly roared, raising the Martial Snake Sword. The blade burst with intense light, illuminating the entire world and drawing the gaze of every living being.

The Lord of Fate roared as he leaped up, his massive skeletal form like a mountain. In front of him, Zhenwu Emperor seemed insignificant, but the bright light emanating from the Martial Snake Sword was as blinding as the sun. At that moment, even Xu Chongsheng felt a chill go up his spine.

"Not good!"

Xu Chongsheng inwardly cried out, quickly rushing towards Zhenwu Emperor, but it was too late.

Zhenwu Emperor’s sword came down with Tianwei, the heavens and earth obscured by white light, even Qin Jun involuntarily shut his eyes, not daring to look directly.

Rumble...

A deafening, earth-shattering roar echoed in everyone’s ears, and amidst it, faintly, the howls of the Lord of Fate could be heard.

The white light dissipated quickly, and when Qin Jun opened his eyes, he saw the Lord of Fate sliced in half, fallen on the battlefield, with countless corpse slaves crushed beneath him, struggling like ants.

Zhenwu Emperor looked down upon him, his Zhenwu Conquers Demons Divine Power leaving the Lord of Fate motionless, the eye on his head already shattered, his presence gone.

"You dare!"

Xu Chongsheng bellowed in rage, not expecting Zhenwu Emperor to possess such Divine Power, and in that moment just now, even he was too late to stop it.

In his fury, Xu Chongsheng charged directly at Zhenwu Emperor, conjuring two sharp bone spears out of thin air with his hands.

Facing the fifth-ranked on the Dominance Leaderboard, Zhenwu Emperor had no fear, diving forward to engage Xu Chongsheng, seeking to annihilate him.

On the other side, Tathāgata, clad in a black robe, appeared behind Qin Jun. His black hat covered his bald head and, as he slightly lowered his head, it prevented anyone from seeing his face.

"You’ve come," Qin Jun said, while his eyes were still fixed on Xu Chongsheng and Zhenwu Emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you require my assistance?"

Tathāgata asked softly. He had no fondness for Xu Chongsheng. Although Xu Chongsheng had supported him during the Western Regions war, his attitude was frivolous, showing no respect for Tathāgata.

Moreover, at the time, Xu Chongsheng had ulterior motives. He intended to capture Qin Jun, the reincarnated God of War, to refine him into a corpse slave.

"Don’t rush; the big fish hasn’t shown itself yet," Qin Jun said with a smile.

He didn’t believe that Young Master You wouldn’t appear.

Having specifically requested the help of a peerless powerhouse, he definitely wouldn’t miss the opportunity today.

Besides, it wasn’t certain that the Zhenwu Emperor would lose to Xu Chongsheng.

Dong—

The bone spear struck the Black Turtle Shield. The Zhenwu Emperor remained unfazed and, with a swing of his left arm, sent Xu Chongsheng flying.

Immediately after, the Zhenwu Emperor soared after him; the Martial Snake Sword vibrating in the void and unexpectedly condensing into an Eight Diagrams formation, which then crashed towards Xu Chongsheng.

As the Eight Diagrams formation flew, it swiftly enlarged, reaching a diameter of a hundred zhang in the blink of an eye, pressing down on Xu Chongsheng with unrivaled might. Xu Chongsheng’s expression dramatically changed and he quickly threw out the bone spear in his hand, but it shattered upon striking the Eight Diagrams formation.

"What is this thing!"

Xu Chongsheng exclaimed in shock; there was no concept of the Eight Diagrams in this world, and the formation instilled in him an immense sense of oppression.

Boom!

The Eight Diagrams formation quickly pressed down on Xu Chongsheng, much like the way Five Finger Mountain came crashing down on Sun Wukong, descending onto the mortal world, and slammed onto the battlefield.

"Divine Power of Taoism, how would you know of it!"

Zhenwu Emperor taunted with a jeering laugh. This was a Divine Power he had created by imitating the Supreme Treasure Tai Chi diagram, which had an amplified suppression effect on those with significant karmic debt.

Xu Chongsheng’s karma, who in the current age could compare?

Corpse Emperor had killed countless in his lifetime, and the Nether Emperor once said, "If Xu Chongsheng’s soul returns to the nether, forget about reincarnation!"

Boom-Rumble—

Billowing dust spread out from the edges of the Eight Diagrams, dispersing in all directions. The earth shook violently, and the soldiers and corpse cultivators in the path were thrown about, with the scope of the disturbance reaching ten miles. The dust storm even assaulted King Yan City, and those like Qin Jun on the city walls hastily formed protective barriers with their magic to defend against it.

"This person’s Divine Power is remarkable."

Xia Yanye spoke in admiration, while Young Master You beside him was dumbstruck, having not expected to find such a figure in King Yan Palace.

Throughout the fight, Zhenwu Emperor had maintained a detached demeanor, like a grandmaster, which even earned Young Master You’s involuntary admiration.

"Such a powerful being, if they could be of use to me..."

A thought of excitement struck Young Master You, clearly influenced by Holy Emperor of Qin.

The Holy Emperor of Qin was famed for his exceptional methods of recruiting powerful individuals. Young Master You, too, sought to recruit powerhouses, aspiring to enlist even mightier figures than Hou Yi, Xing Tian, Supreme Heaven Great Sage, and Victorious Fighting Buddha!

The Eight Diagrams formation dissipated into white smoke, and Xu Chongsheng knelt halfway in the huge pit. His blood-streaked hair was disheveled, blood oozing from his forehead, giving him a rather disheveled look.

"Damn it..."

Xu Chongsheng cursed through gritted teeth. He had already lost face in front of Great Qin’s Heavenly Court, and he did not want to suffer another defeat before King Yan Palace.

Boom—

Xu Chongsheng shot up like a cannonball, his hands condensing two bone blades, sharply honed and coiled with eerie necrotic energy.

"I will tear you to a thousand pieces!"

Xu Chongsheng bellowed in anger, his voice reverberating in all directions, deafening and chilling to the core.
