Chapter 534: The Devil Emperor’s Secret, Death Without Fear

[Name: Eternal Night Demon Emperor Ye Wujiang]

[Realm: First Layer of Immortal Emperor Realm (Weakened Period)]

[Fate: Ultimately stops at the Tenth Layer of Immortal Emperor Realm. Current Origin power is slowly draining. To restore to his Peak, he needs to devour the Essence Blood and Divine Souls of all living beings in the Spirit Realm.]

"So that's how it is."

Zhou Chen understood clearly in his heart.

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor seemed powerful now, but in reality, he was strong on the outside and weak on the inside.

Everything he was doing now was to recover his strength as quickly as possible.

Just then, the situation on the battlefield changed once again.

After killing those four Ancient Ancestors, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor seemed to feel that killing them one by one was too much trouble.

He spread his arms and closed his eyes.

An invisible, strange fluctuation targeting the Divine Soul spread out from him like ripples.

"Eternal Night · Soul Silence."

He whispered softly.

The next moment.

On the battlefield, countless Cultivators who were fighting bloody battles with the monsters suddenly stiffened.

Their movements froze in place.

Following that, black blood flowed from their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses.

Their bodies were still standing, and the Magic Treasures in their hands were still glowing, but their Divine Souls had been completely wiped out in that instant.

Thud.

Thud.

Swaths of Cultivators fell silently like wheat being mown down.

There were no screams, no struggles.

Only dead silence.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands more living beings fell!

This scene was even more terrifying and despair-inducing than the world-destroying palm strike from before.

"Aaaaah! Devil Head! I'll fight you to the death!"

The surviving Cultivators went completely mad.

They knew that fleeing meant death, and fighting also meant death.

Since it was death either way, it was better to die heroically!

However, just at this moment.

The nine Demon Sovereigns of the Eternal Night Demon Palace moved.

They turned into nine streaks of black light and charged into the ranks of the Alliance forces.

Like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

Every Demon Sovereign was a terrifying existence at the Great Perfection of the Tenth Layer of Immortal Emperor.

Every time they struck, they took away swaths of lives.

A Holy Land Master at the Eighth Layer of Immortal Emperor had his head crushed by a Demon Sovereign's claw.

A sword Formation composed of over a hundred Immortal Kings was blown apart by a Demon Sovereign's breath of Devilish Qi, and all the Cultivators instantly turned into withered bones.

This was a complete massacre.

The Righteous Path Alliance was collapsing like a mountain.

"It's over… everything is over…"

The Palace Master of the Grand Void Palace looked at this hellish scene before his eyes, his gaze filled with endless sorrow.

Beside him, the dozen or so remaining Immortal Emperor experts were all wounded, their auras withered.

They had lost.

They had lost utterly.

"Fellow Daoists."

Old Man Ku Mu's raspy voice rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone turned to look, only to see an abnormal flush appearing on his originally withered face.

His aura was climbing steadily in a strange manner.

"Fellow Daoist Ku Mu, you…" The Palace Master of the Grand Void Palace's expression changed.

"Things have come to this; our only choice is to fight to the death."

A flame of determination burned in Old Man Ku Mu's eyes.

"My Xuantian Sect has a forbidden Formation called the 'Guiyuan Nirvana Grand Formation'."

"This Formation can gather the life Origins and Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits of all of us into one person's body to deliver a single strike."

"This strike might… wound that Devil Emperor."

His gaze swept over everyone present.

"Of course, the price is that those who enter the Formation will have their Divine Souls annihilated, never to be reincarnated for all eternity."

"I am willing to be the eye of the Formation."

The surroundings were deathly silent.

Everyone understood that this was their last chance, but also a dead end.

"Amitabha."

The old abbot of Wanfo Temple was the first to step forward, pressing his palms together. "If I do not enter Hell, who will? Count this old monk in."

"Hahahaha! Death is just death, what is there to fear! Count me in!"

"And me!"

One after another, Immortal Emperor experts stepped forward.

There was no fear on their faces, only composure and determination.

They were the guardians of the Spirit Realm; this was their destiny.

Old Man Ku Mu looked at everyone, two lines of bloody tears flowing from his cloudy old eyes.

He looked up at the sky shrouded in Devilish Qi, where not a single ray of light could be seen, and let out a silent cry in his heart.

"Is the Spirit Realm's Luck really… to be cut off here?"

"Alas… if only there were truly a variable in this world… that would be good."

On the Chaos Battlefield, the tragic and heroic atmosphere reached its Peak.

With Old Man Ku Mu as the center, the dozen or so Immortal Emperor experts formed a profound and ancient Formation.

"Guiyuan Nirvana, with my remnant body, I sacrifice to Heaven and Earth!"

Old Man Ku Mu let out a long howl, and his withered body was the first to ignite, turning into the purest life Origin and surging into the grand Formation.

"With my Dao Fruit, I offer my blood to Xuanyuan!"

"With my Divine Soul, I sacrifice my blood to the Heavens!"

One after another, the Immortal Emperors burned everything they had.

Their Physical Bodies were dissolving, their Dao Fruits were shattering, and their Divine Souls were being annihilated.

All their power turned into pillars of brilliant light, frantically surging into Old Man Ku Mu's body.

At this moment, Old Man Ku Mu's aura broke through the shackles of the Tenth Layer of Immortal Emperor, surpassing the limits of this world.

His body turned into a terrifying radiance so blinding that it was impossible to look at directly.

A terrifying energy sufficient to make even an Immortal Emperor take notice was brewing within.

"Hmm?"

High in the sky, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, who was enjoying the pleasure of the massacre, finally stopped his actions.

He looked with interest at the "sun" slowly rising below, a mocking curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting."

"Ants can always burst forth with some… insignificant light when in despair."

"Unfortunately, how can the light of a firefly compete with the brightness of the moon?"

He didn't even move to stop it, just watched leisurely as if enjoying a brilliant play.

Zhou Chen looked at this scene in the water mirror and sighed softly.

"They do have some backbone."

On the battlefield, the energy of the Guiyuan Nirvana Grand Formation had reached its Peak.

A smile of relief appeared on Old Man Ku Mu's face, which had already turned into a being of light.

He took one last look at this land where he was born, raised, and would now fall, and used his last bit of strength to let out a roar that shook the entire Spirit Realm.

"Eternal Night Demon Emperor!!"

"Come and… DIE!!!"

BOOM!!!

That golden sun turned into a golden divine light that pierced through heaven and earth, tearing through time and space, ignoring distance, and striking toward the Eternal Night Demon Emperor with a speed that surpassed the Laws!

This strike gathered everything from a dozen Immortal Emperors; it was the final swan song of their lives!

It was the final hope of the Righteous Path Alliance!

Facing this strike that was enough to threaten him, the Eternal Night Demon Emperor finally withdrew his contempt.

His expression became solemn.

"A decent attack."

"It's just a pity that before this Emperor, it is still like an ant… fragile and easily broken!"

The Eternal Night Demon Emperor slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a black vortex containing the Origin of the Immortal Demonic Path rapidly took shape.

"Eternal Night · Return to the Void!"

The black vortex expanded rapidly with the wind, turning into a massive black hole capable of devouring a galaxy, meeting that golden divine light.

Everyone held their breath.
