Chapter 1706 The Evil Emperor is Hidden
"Verbal disputes are meaningless. Today, either you surrender and hand over the Primordial Spiritual Technique and the remnants of the Evil Clan, or I will raze the Myriad Spirit Cave to the ground and completely sever the Evil Clan's lineage."
The ancient spirit god flapped its golden wings, its golden spiritual power surging, and the long sword in its hand radiated a dazzling golden light. The surrounding void was torn apart by the sword intent, and countless cracks gradually spread in all directions.
The Evil Emperor's Evil God Spear pointed at the opponent, and as the blue rune spirit wings flapped, they drew upon the power of the ancient spiritual veins outside the Myriad Spirit Cave. The spiritual mist around the cave entrance gathered and transformed into countless blue light spots that swirled around him.
"The Primordial Spiritual Technique belongs to my Xie Clan's ancestors. How could I possibly entrust it to someone like you? If you wish to exterminate the Xie Clan, you'll have to get past me first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Emperor transformed into a streak of azure light. The Evil God Spear, imbued with the power of the spiritual vein's origin, pierced the sound barrier with its tip, heading straight for the heart of the ancient spirit god.
Wherever the spear tip passed, the void collapsed, and cyan runes condensed into a spear shadow, making it three times more powerful!
The ancient spirit god's expression darkened, and he slashed horizontally with his golden sword. The golden light collided with the azure light, and a deafening roar shook the ancient forest. Ancient trees within a radius of a hundred miles were all broken, and rocks crumbled into dust!
The two figures clashed at lightning speed, their azure and gold beams intertwining and colliding, sometimes soaring into the heavens, sometimes plummeting to the ground. Each clash caused the heavens and earth to change color, and the chaotic miasma was scattered by the two forces.
"Evil God, you've hidden yourself well, managing to draw upon the power of the ancient spiritual veins. Unfortunately, you are ultimately a collateral branch; no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat the orthodox one like me!"
The ancient spirit god's golden wings flapped fiercely, and countless golden feathers shot out, transforming into sharp blades that densely covered the evil emperor's body. Each feather contained the power of the ultimate Dao god, enough to pierce through the divine essence of ordinary Dao gods!
The Evil Emperor and Evil God wielded their spears in an impenetrable array, with cyan runes forming a shield to block the golden feather blades. However, they were still forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact of the feather blades, and blood spilled from the corners of their mouths!
He knew one thing well: no matter what, he could not kill the ancient spirit god. If he killed him, the sixth mark would shatter, and the seventh mark would be lost.
Moreover, there is the final, true form, which is what he truly fears!
"You slaughtered your own kind and attempted to control the Primordial Spirit Technique to destroy the universe. Do you even deserve to be called a direct descendant of the Spirit Clan?"
The Evil Emperor roared, his runic wings shone brightly, and a dense azure primordial spiritual energy surged from his body. A azure rune core condensed at the tip of the Evil God Spear, "Secret Technique Rune? Spirit Vein Spear Qi!!"
The thick, azure spear energy shot straight into the sky, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long spear, crashing down upon the ancient spirit god with a force capable of tearing apart heaven and earth.
The ancient spirit god's eyes were solemn, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He gripped his sword with both hands, pouring all his golden spiritual power into the blade, "Spirit God Sword Technique? Golden Radiance Annihilation!!"
The golden greatsword clashed with the spear, plunging the world into a brief silence before unleashing an even more terrifying shockwave. The azure array outside the Myriad Spirits Cave trembled violently, its runes constantly crumbling. Xie Cang and his clansmen desperately poured spiritual energy into the array to stabilize it, but they still could not withstand the aftershocks. Many clansmen were shaken so badly that they coughed up blood and their auras weakened!
"Grandpa Yuan can't hold on much longer!"
Xie Cang watched the two figures locked in combat outside the formation with burning anxiety. "Guard the spiritual vein node! We absolutely cannot let the great formation break!"
Although the Xie clan members were weak in combat, they knew that the survival of their clan was at stake. They gritted their teeth and activated the remaining spiritual blood power in their bodies, injecting spiritual power into the great formation. Although the cyan light screen was still trembling, it was barely stabilized and blocked most of the aftershocks!
Inside the secret realm of the Myriad Spirits Cave, Song Yu sat cross-legged, surrounded by black and white rule power, with countless rule fragments surging into his sea of consciousness.
Song Yu's splitting headache intensified!
Song Yu gripped the Reincarnation Immortal Sword tightly, the Dao patterns on the sword flowing around, constantly stabilizing his soul.
He quickly and completely abandoned all distractions, focusing all his attention on deciphering the power of the rules and refining and absorbing the power of the rules from each fragment!
"Rules are ordained by heaven? That's nonsense. Rules are made by man!"
Song Yu suddenly understood, and the divine soul light in his sea of consciousness shone brightly. The originally scattered fragments of his divine soul completely condensed, and the foundation of his Dao God Realm became more and more solid. His aura began to rise, and he steadily stepped from the early stage of Dao God to the late stage of Dao God, and even faintly touched the threshold of the peak of Dao God!
In a moment of sudden enlightenment, his cultivation level soared!
The Reincarnation Immortal Sword hovered above his head, its blade entwined with black and white power of rules. The Dao patterns on the sword resonated with the fragments of rules in the secret realm, radiating a dazzling light.
Song Yu raised his hand and grasped the immortal sword, stood up, and his aura surged. The power of the rules in the secret realm gathered around him, just like the rules themselves!
"Having completely mastered the rules, it's time to leave!"
Song Yu raised his hand and waved, and the stone gate of the secret realm slowly opened. He flashed out of the secret realm and bumped into the Demon Emperor sitting cross-legged to heal his injuries. His aura had recovered by more than half, and the cracks on his divine core had also healed a lot!
"Song Yu, you're out! Your aura has improved so much!" The Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly stood up. "The Evil Emperor is fighting the ancient spirit god alone outside, and the great formation is about to collapse!"
Song Yu nodded: "Let's go, let's go out and lend Him a hand!"
The two figures moved swiftly towards the cave entrance. As soon as they entered the formation, they saw that Xie Cang and the others were pale-faced, the runes of the formation were dim and could break at any moment, and the rumbling sound coming from outside the formation made the rock walls inside the cave tremble.
"My lords, hurry! Grandpa Yuan can't hold on much longer!"
When Xie Cang saw the two arrive, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen saviors.
Song Yu said no more, raised his hand and waved, the Samsara Immortal Sword transformed into a black and white stream of light, and poured into the cyan array. The power of the rules merged with the power of the cyan spiritual veins, and the dim runes instantly lit up, making the array much more stable.
"Clan Chief Xie Cang, hold the great formation! The Demon Emperor and I will go out to assist Him!"
After saying that, Song Yu and the Demon Emperor flashed through the light barrier of the great formation and landed beside the Evil Emperor.
At this moment, the Evil Emperor was in a sorry state, his blue robes were stained with blood, his rune wings were damaged in many places, and he had put away the Evil God Spear at some point!
In contrast, the ancient spirit god still possessed an imposing aura, with its golden wings intact, though its energy had been slightly depleted.
Clearly, the Evil Emperor had been hiding his true strength, seemingly unwilling to let Song Yu and the Demon Emperor see it.
"Oh? These two little fellows came out quickly. It seems they gained quite a bit from their trip to the secret realm." The ancient spirit god sneered, his gaze sweeping over Song Yu. "They've actually stepped into the late stage of the Dao God realm. Unfortunately, they're still not good enough!"
The Demon Emperor's Blood Demon Spear pointed directly at his opponent, demonic energy and blood energy intertwined, and the aura of a late-stage Dao God peak erupted. "Today, the three of us will join forces to see if the power of your sixth mark can withstand us!"
The Evil Emperor took a breath and looked at Song Yu and the Demon Emperor, his eyes flashing with gratitude: "It's good that you've come. Remember, you must not break his sixth mark, otherwise he will unleash his seventh mark, and none of us will be able to defeat him!"
The two had no choice but to agree in unison. Song Yu held the Samsara Immortal Sword, the power of black and white rules surrounding his body, and the Demon Emperor Blood Demon Spear was ready to be unleashed, with demonic energy soaring into the sky. The Evil Emperor, on the other hand, was empty-handed. He had no choice but to take out the Evil God Spear, for fear of killing his opponent!
"Since you've all chosen your own deaths, then I'll kill you all!"
The ancient spirit god roared, his golden wings flapped, and his figure transformed into a golden light. His golden sword, carrying the power to destroy the world, was the first to attack the Demon Emperor!
He would first slay the Demon Emperor, then deal with Song Yu—that would be a piece of cake!
The Demon Emperor was already prepared. His Blood Demon Spear met the golden sword. The crimson spear shadow collided with the golden sword shadow. The Demon Emperor used the force to retreat, while the spear tip swept horizontally, and a crimson gale swept upwards!
Seeing this, Song Yu was not to be outdone, and he charged forward with the Samsara Sword!
As the black and white sword energy collided with the golden light, Song Yu, though slightly weaker in cultivation, managed to deflect most of the power with the power of the rules, only retreating slightly.
The Evil Emperor deliberately held back, not daring to go all out. Firstly, he was afraid of revealing his own strength, and secondly, he was afraid of accidentally killing the ancient spirit god!
Although the ancient spirit god was powerful, he was also entangled by the three and could not get away!
"Mystic Art of the Spirits? Golden Light in Myriad Paths!"
Countless golden sword lights burst forth from the sword, enveloping the three of them. The sword lights were extremely sharp and could easily tear apart a god's soul.
Seeing this, Song Yu immediately activated the Supreme Emperor Dao Technique, "Emperor? Supreme Barrier!"
A black and white barrier enveloped the three of them, blocking the golden sword light, but it was also constantly being cut by the sword light, and cracks quickly appeared in the barrier!
"Demon Emperor, go and break him!"
Song Yu shouted and poured all his power of rules into the barrier, barely managing to hold it up.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's Blood Demon Spear surged, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long crimson spear shadow, "God-Slaying Blood Demon? Break!"
A crimson spear shadow pierced through the barrier, heading straight for the heart of the ancient spirit god, "Spirit Vein Piercing!"
Seeing this, the ancient spirit had no choice but to give up activating the secret technique. The golden sword returned to defense, blocking the two attacks, but it was also shaken by the two forces, causing its blood and qi to surge. It retreated several steps, and two shallow cracks appeared on its golden armor.
He looked at the three of them, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected that the three of them working together would be so powerful.
"It seems I underestimated you. However, it's time for the game to end!"
The ancient spirit god's golden spiritual power surged once more, and the sixth mark shone brightly. He raised his hand and waved it, and countless golden spiritual energies converged into a giant golden palm, covered with spirit god runes. "Spirit God Palm - Suppress the Universe!"
The giant golden palm descended slowly with an aura that could suppress the universe. The void collapsed beneath the palm, and the terrifying pressure made the three of them breathe heavily and unable to stand steadily.
"Join forces to resist!"
The Evil Emperor frowned slightly, his rune wings shone brightly, and the power of the azure spiritual veins surged from the ground, instantly transforming into azure spiritual walls.
Boom!
The giant golden hand slammed into the tri-colored shield, causing it to tremble violently. All three people coughed up blood, their bodies being forced to sink deeper and deeper, and huge ravines cracked open in the ground.
The Evil Emperor's rune wings were damaged again, the Demon Emperor's divine core trembled, and Song Yu also felt a stinging pain in his soul, and the power of the rules almost collapsed.
A thought struck Song Yu, recalling the power of rules he had comprehended in the secret realm. He raised his hand and waved it, causing the black and white power of rules to swirl around the giant palm, continuously eroding its spiritual energy. "Devour!"
The light of the golden giant hand gradually dimmed, and the ancient spirit god's expression darkened. He hadn't expected that Song Yu could devour his spiritual power. He tried to retract the giant hand, but was trapped by the three-colored shield.
The Demon Emperor seized the opportunity, his Blood Demon Spear surging forward, its crimson shadow piercing the shield and striking the center of the giant palm. "Break!!"
