Chapter 1304: Chapter 449: The Fall of the Eastern Emperor
Not only that, but Guangcheng also disappeared for a while after The Three Pure Ones vanished. Now he has finally returned, his strength seemingly enhanced, incredibly blocked a Heavenly Emperor.
It was a Heavenly Emperor never seen before, never appeared in the Three Realms, very young, with vigorous blood, less than a hundred thousand years old.
He wore a silver battle armor, wielding a long spear, pressing down fiercely, leaving Guangcheng extremely humiliated, pushed into an absolute disadvantage, fighting very difficultly.
Subsequently, Great Emperor Gou Chen charged in. He was close to Guangcheng’s strength and now, with a terrifying power manifested, engaged in a fierce battle with the opponent.
Lord Doumu let out a light cry and also joined the fray.
The three combined forces to block a Heavenly Emperor.
The Mother of All Stars was naturally not ordinary. When the people of the Three Realms were rapidly progressing in strength, she also frantically elevated her power, surpassing even Great Emperor Gou Chen.
"Get out of the way."
The Heavenly Emperor spoke, his tone filled with killing intent.
He aimed to break through the trio’s defense, with the aura of the Heavenly Emperor flowing, causing Guangcheng and his companions to vomit blood.
However, Guangcheng and his companions held onto the Heavenly Emperor desperately, not allowing him the opportunity to break through.
"Damn it."
The Heavenly Emperor spoke, his face full of anger.
He was ordered by Haotian God to come and rescue Eastern Emperor Tai Yi. If Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were killed, it would mean his mission had failed, something he definitely did not want to see.
This was his first time executing a mission in the Three Realms, naturally unwilling to fail.
Thinking of this, the silver-armored warrior’s attacks grew increasingly fierce.
"I have arrived."
A cold laugh resounded, Ying Hook appeared. He charged toward the silver-armored Heavenly Emperor, with a Demon Cloud surging three thousand miles behind him, astonishing the atmosphere.
As a result, the silver-armored Heavenly Emperor swung his spear, directly slamming him away, unable to rise for a long time.
"Cough, cough, how is this guy so strong?" Ying Hook coughed up blood, gritting his teeth.
"Fool, that’s a Heavenly Emperor Level expert, you can’t beat him." Sun Wukong shouted.
Ying Hook was speechless. He had just come out of seclusion, advanced to the Supreme realm, thinking he could showcase his skills.
As a result, he was swung away with a stick.
He chose the wrong opponent, a Heavenly Emperor indeed, no wonder he couldn’t win.
Ying Hook decisively charged toward others.
Meanwhile, the army of the Underworld Court also surged forth, charging out.
This battle was too fierce, everyone had bloodshot eyes from the fighting.
Seeing the silver-armored Heavenly Emperor barely blocked, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s heart grew cold, sensing something amiss.
Indeed, in the next moment, Great Emperor Ziwei and the others went mad, all unleashing beyond their limits.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was shattered, again and again, he let out desperate roars.
Originally thinking there was hope, but the result remained unchanged.
He despaired, being crushed again and again, finally unable to hold on.
Splatter.
Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was jointly annihilated, this time unable to resuscitate, plunged into Eternal Silence.
Their eyes blood-red, Lord of the Clouds and the others charged in, seeking revenge for His Majesty.
As a result, three Heavenly Emperors struck, shattering them one piece at a time.
Seeing this, Tian Hao and the others sighed, realizing the matter had become a foregone conclusion.
With Haotian God not present, they did not wish to clash directly with the Heavenly Court.
They called out, their followers retreating.
The silver-armored Heavenly Emperor was extremely annoyed, this was his first battle in the Three Realms, yet he failed to save Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.
He cast a cold glance at everyone, leading his men to retreat.
After the silver-armored Heavenly Emperor departed, Guangcheng spat several mouthfuls of fresh blood consecutively.
The opponent was simply too strong, Heavenly Emperor Level experts really aren’t so easy to contend with.
Sun Wukong and his companions surrounded Lord of the Clouds and the others. At this time, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s subordinates were less than one-tenth remaining; the dignified Ancient Heavenly Emperor had fallen to this state, causing sighs.
Senior Commander-in-Chief knelt before Great Emperor Ziwei, pleading: "I beg Your Majesty to spare the lives of Lord of the Clouds and his men. Though Eastern Emperor Tai Yi colluded with outsiders, he once resisted foreign enemies outside the heavens, preventing invasions into the Three Realms. They have made contributions to the Three Realms; may their merits offset their faults, and Your Majesty spare them a path."
Great Emperor Ziwei’s eyes flickered slightly, though benevolent, he was not naive.
Upon hearing Senior Commander-in-Chief’s plea, Great Emperor Ziwei spoke indifferently: "I can spare their lives, but if they cause trouble in the Three Realms later, who will bear this responsibility? Can Senior Commander-in-Chief guarantee they won’t make trouble?"
Senior Commander-in-Chief remained silent, seeing the hatred in their eyes.
If Great Emperor Ziwei were to spare Lord of the Clouds and the others, they would surely stir up chaos in the Three Realms.
Yet the Ziwei Heavenly Court upholds the tranquility of the Three Realms, preventing any harm to the common people.
Such a situation of releasing tigers back to the mountain could easily threaten the peace of the Three Realms; they wouldn’t do it, as it would go against the Heavenly Court’s intentions.
Senior Commander-in-Chief knelt there, contemplating how to find a mutually agreeable solution.
At this moment, Lord of the Clouds spoke, smiling: "Senior Commander-in-Chief, you need not plead for us. With your intelligence, you surely understand that if Great Emperor Ziwei spares us, he wouldn’t be able to explain to all life, nor to the soldiers of the Heavenly Court who died in battle. We must die."
Senior Commander-in-Chief fell silent, realizing this truth, yet knowing Great Emperor Ziwei’s benevolence, he wished to strive for it.
Now uncovered by Lord of the Clouds, Senior Commander-in-Chief sighed deeply, no longer speaking.
Great Emperor Ziwei’s gaze was somewhat complicated, shaking his head: "You ultimately stood with the wrong side. Eastern Emperor Tai Yi has harmed you; his betrayal cost so many brothers to follow him to death."
These words evidently acknowledged Lord of the Clouds’ statement.
Failing to kill Lord of the Clouds and his companions would leave the Heavenly Court’s fallen warriors unsatisfied.
Therefore, Lord of the Clouds and his companions were doomed.
"Come, brothers, join me in a last battle, avenging His Majesty." Lord of the Clouds shouted.
"Avenge His Majesty the Eastern Emperor." The remaining strongmen of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi’s lineage shouted, charging alongside Lord of the Clouds toward Great Emperor Ziwei and his crew.
"Kill."
Yang Jian shouted, his eyes gleaming coldly, as they also launched their strike.
With four Heavenly Emperors present, the opposition was merely Eastern Emperor’s remnants, this battle’s outcome was certain.
Everyone was slain, leaving not a single survivor.
Senior Commander-in-Chief was filled with anguish, not participating.
Yet everyone could understand him.
Sun Wukong approached, patting Senior Commander-in-Chief’s shoulder, and said solemnly: "This was their own choice, so don’t feel too troubled."
Senior Commander-in-Chief smiled slightly, but his face was filled with bitterness.
"I already anticipated this day, otherwise I wouldn’t have sided with the Heavenly Court. But truly witnessing this scene is still difficult to accept, in the end, they’re old brothers I’ve spent countless ages with, just gone like that." Senior Commander-in-Chief sighed, his eyes flashing with deep-rooted hatred: "It’s all Tai Yi, his personal greed led to the death of so many brothers, the truly deserving of death should be him, not these brothers."
"Husband, don’t be too troubled." Shao Siming embraced Senior Commander-in-Chief, gently comforting him.
Many sighed but felt helpless, the events had occurred, only time could soothe Senior Commander-in-Chief’s emotions.
