Chapter 1644 The Lord of the Silent Palace
Immediately afterwards, three figures slowly emerged from the deepest part of the palace, standing in mid-air, facing the three evil emperors from afar.
The leader is Hunji, the main master of the Temple of Annihilation!
To the left of Hunji was a middle-aged man dressed in blood-red armor, with countless skulls engraved on it. His blood energy surged around him, carrying endless killing intent. His cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm, on par with the Evil Emperor. This man was the second deputy hall master of the Silent Annihilation Temple, Blood Butcher!
To Hunji's right was a woman dressed in a white dress, stained with specks of blood. Her beauty was extraordinary, yet eerily so, and cold. Her eyes were blood red, like blooming spider lilies. Her cultivation was at the early stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm, on par with Song Yu. This person was Gu Yao, the third deputy hall master of the Silent God Temple!
The three palace masters, three powerful Dao Immortal Lords, appeared together at this moment.
The Evil Emperor's gaze fell upon Hunji, his eyes calm. "Hunji, the Temple of Annihilation has occupied the Upper Realm for tens of millions of years, slaughtering billions of living beings and refining countless divine souls. Today is the day when your Temple of Annihilation will be completely destroyed!"
Hun Ji slowly raised his hand, and a wisp of black energy condensed in his palm. Within that energy, countless souls were wailing. A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Evil Emperor, you have quite the arrogance! The nine branch palaces are nothing but pawns I've laid out. If the pawns are gone, I can lay out more. But you, once you step into the Middle Realm today, you will never have the chance to leave again."
"A chess piece?" The Demon Emperor laughed loudly, his demonic flames surging and transforming into a giant black dragon that charged straight towards Soul Silence.
The demonic flames, like dragons, bared their fangs and claws, carrying the power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and instantly rushed in front of Hunji.
Hun Ji's face still wore a sinister smile. With a wave of his hand, a black light screen appeared in front of him. Countless divine soul runes were engraved on the light screen. When the demonic flames collided with the light screen, they were instantly swallowed up without even causing a ripple.
"A half-step Immortal Lord dares to be so insolent before me?"
Hun Ji's voice was icy, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Your demonic flames are nothing but the light of a firefly before the power of my divine soul. You dare to compete with the bright moon?"
Before he finished speaking, the black energy in Hunji's palm suddenly surged, transforming into a giant black hand that, carrying boundless divine soul power, slammed fiercely towards the Demon Emperor!
Within that giant hand were the wails of billions of souls and countless malevolent resentments—a power powerful enough to annihilate even the souls of a peak Dao Realm expert!
The Demon Emperor's expression changed. He could clearly feel that the power of this giant palm far exceeded his imagination. The gap between a half-step Immortal Lord and a late-stage Immortal Lord was like an insurmountable chasm!
He tried to dodge, but found that his body was already imprisoned by the pressure of that giant palm, and he could not move at all!
Just at this critical moment, a golden flame rushed over and crashed into the giant black hand!
Golden flames blazed across the sky, carrying the power of the rules of the heavens, instantly burning away all the divine soul runes on the giant hand. The black energy within the golden flames hissed and quickly vanished into nothingness.
The Evil Emperor appeared before the Demon Emperor, his green robes fluttering, golden flames still burning in his palms. His eyes were calm as he looked at Hun Ji, "Hun Ji, your opponent is me."
The Evil Emperor's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm. There was still a realm difference between him and Hun Ji, but he was the one with the highest cultivation level among the three. The Evil Emperor had no choice but to bite the bullet and deal with Hun Ji!
Hunji's expression stiffened slightly. "It seems I underestimated you."
"Those who underestimated me have all turned to ashes." The Evil Emperor's voice was indifferent, and golden flames slowly flowed in his palm. "Today, you will be no exception."
"Insanity!"
Blood Butcher roared, his blood energy surging and transforming into a blood-red spear. The spear tip, filled with endless killing intent, instantly pierced towards the Evil Emperor's brow!
His cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Immortal Lord realm, on par with the Evil Emperor. His mastery of the art of killing was unparalleled, and countless powerful individuals had died under his spear over countless eons!
"Your opponent is me!"
Song Yu's voice suddenly rang out, and a sword instantly materialized in his hand. The runes on the sword flashed and turned into a purple-gold lightning bolt, which fiercely slashed at the blood-red spear!
The lightning and blood energy collided, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire void violently. Countless spatial rifts spread out from the point of their clash.
Song Yu's cultivation level was at the early stage of the Dao Immortal Lord realm, which was one small realm lower than Xue Tu's. However, for Song Yu, this difference in cultivation level was negligible!
"A mere early-stage Immortal Lord of the Dao can withstand my killing spear?" A hint of surprise flashed in Blood Butcher's eyes, followed by boundless rage. "Boy, you're courting death! Today, I'll let you taste what the true Dao of Slaughter is!"
The blood energy surged, and the power of the blood-red spear increased by three points. A blood-red phantom condensed on the tip of the spear. It was a phantom formed from the resentment of the billions of lives that Blood Slaughter had killed over the millennia. As soon as the phantom appeared, the entire void was shrouded in blood, and even the light was swallowed up!
There was no fear in Song Yu's eyes, but rather his fighting spirit burned even brighter.
"Hehe, you've come at the right time!"
The purple-gold lightning surged, and the phantom of a thunder dragon slowly emerged from the sword, baring its fangs and claws, and rushed straight towards the blood-red phantom!
The two phantoms collided, producing a deafening roar. At that moment, the entire void of the Middle Realm completely shattered!
On the other side, Gu Yao's figure slowly floated towards the Demon Emperor. Her white dress fluttered in the wind, and her blood-red eyes held a hint of indifferent smile.
"A half-step Immortal Lord, not a bad opponent!"
Gu Yao slowly raised her hands, and a white stream of energy condensed at her fingertips. Within that stream of energy were countless bone spikes, and on the bone spikes were engraved sinister runes. These were the innate evil arts of the Temple of Annihilation, capable of refining the essence of all living beings, whether physical or spiritual, into the purest nourishment.
"court death!"
The demonic flames surged, transforming into a black canopy that completely enveloped Gu Yao's white aura. Within the demonic flames, countless demonic runes flickered!
"Demon flames devour the heart. Today, I will let you taste what it's like to be refined by demonic flames!"
The black demonic flames collided with the white bone spikes, producing a sizzling sound. The bone spikes gradually melted in the demonic flames, while the demonic flames dimmed slightly under the erosion of the bone spikes.
Gu Yao's face still held an indifferent smile. Her cultivation level was at the early stage of the Immortal Lord Realm, which was one realm higher than the Demon Emperor, so she naturally did not take him seriously.
The battle between the two sides quickly reached a fever pitch.
The Evil Emperor versus Soul Silence!
Song Yu versus Blood Slaughter!
The Demon Emperor versus Gu Yao!
The three temple masters of the Silent God Temple, three powerful Dao Immortal Lords, did not gain the slightest advantage against the three Evil Emperors!
This scene left the powerful figures of the Temple of Annihilation, who were lurking in the black palace, dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
Their three temple masters are the pillars of the Silent God Temple and the most powerful figures in the Upper Realm. Today, they have been forced to this point by three cultivators from the Eastern Region!
Hun Ji's expression grew increasingly solemn.
"Evil Emperor, do you think you can stop me all by yourself?"
Hun Ji's voice was icy cold. In his palm, the black energy surged once more. This time, a black skull condensed within the energy. Blood-red flames burned in the skull's eyes. It was the treasure of the Temple of Annihilation, the Divine Soul Skull!
This Divine Soul Skull is a supreme treasure formed from the divine souls of countless Immortal Lord realm experts refined by the Temple of Annihilation over millions of years. It contains endless divine soul power, enough to annihilate the soul of any Immortal Lord realm expert!
"Soul Skeleton?"
The Evil Emperor's eyes finally changed slightly. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within this soul skeleton, a power that even he would be wary of. "It seems you have really been pushed to the limit."
"Today, I will annihilate your soul and spirit, so that you may never be reincarnated!"
The skull opened its massive maw and let out a piercing shriek. The shriek contained countless resentful thoughts of the souls and instantly rushed towards the Evil Emperor!
Wherever the shriek passed, the void cracked, and even the rules of the heavens trembled slightly!
The Evil Emperor took a deep breath, and the golden flame in his palm suddenly surged to its maximum, within which a golden lotus flower condensed!
"Golden Lotus, Burn the Heavens!"
The golden lotus slowly bloomed, and golden flames soared into the sky, completely engulfing the shriek of the divine soul skeleton. Wherever the golden lotus passed, the resentment of those divine souls was burned into nothingness, and even the black body of the divine soul skeleton gradually melted away in the golden flames.
"No, that's impossible!"
Finally, a look of horror appeared on Hunji's face. He looked at the golden lotus, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible..."
"Although... I was once only at the peak of the Dao Realm, I was the only one at the peak of the Dao Realm who could come into contact with the 'rules'."
The Evil Emperor's voice was indifferent. The golden lotus slowly rotated in his palm, and the power of the rules of the heavens contained within the golden flames became increasingly condensed.
"Nothing is impossible in this world."
"Just like today, killing you is as easy as killing a dog!"
The golden flames surged, and the power of the Golden Lotus of Rules increased by another three points, instantly rushing to Hunji's front.
Hunji tried to dodge, but found that his body was already imprisoned by the pressure of the Golden Lotus of Rules, and he could not move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the golden flame devoured his soul power little by little and burned away his physical body.
