「World Inside the Vase.」
Everyone stared at the vast face in the sky, their images displayed on the light screen. Their nerves were stretched taut, and none of them dared to so much as breathe loudly. Even separated by realms, they could feel the extre pressure! They couldn't begin to imagine what kind of pressure Luo Xiu was facing at that mont.
Lao Ba cursed, "Holy fucking shit… What the hell is that thing?"
The voice of Master Ping echoed through The Void. "That is a Law Manifestation projected into the Mortal Realm by a Heavenly Emperor. I reckon Luo Xiu is in deep trouble now."
Lao Ba imdiately grew anxious. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and help the Crown Prince! With his current strength, how could he possibly take on a Heavenly Emperor?!"
Yet, Master Ping remained as calm as ever. "If we go now, we won't just fail to help Luo Xiu; we'll beco a burden to him. Don't worry. Just watch quietly for now. After all, there's still *her*... She probably won't stand idly by."
Just then, Luo Xiu's Divine Sense connected with Master Ping, who promptly received a Divine Sense Communication.
"Master Ping, protect everyone. Don't you dare co over."
Master Ping was taken aback. "What are you planning to do, lad?"
Luo Xiu replied with a single word, "Fight!"
"..."
「In the Waste Land.」
Luo Xiu severed his Divine Sense connection with Master Ping. Sword in hand, he stood and gazed up at the sky, his calm eyes eting the vast face in the firmant.
The ancient voice echoed between heaven and earth once more. "What's this? From the looks of you… it seems you are unwilling to surrender the three seals."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu gave a faint smile and spoke in an even tone, "These things are mine. If you want to take them, you'll have to take down first."
"You are ignorant of the imnsity of heaven and earth!" the Five Elents Emperor roared.
In an instant, a terrifying pressure locked onto Luo Xiu!
His body shuddered, and he was forced to one knee. His face flushed red as blood began to trickle from the corners of his mouth. The Heavenly Armor on his body seed unable to withstand the pressure from the Five Elents Emperor. It failed to maintain its Battle Armor form and began to shatter into fragnts, coalescing back into its original tallic orb.
"Boy, you've only caused a few ripples in the Mortal Realm. Do you really think you're sothing special? The Battle of the Boundless Heavens only happened because we were in seclusion. Otherwise, how could a demon of a chaotic era like you act so brazenly for so long?"
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth, using his sword to push himself up. He stood shakily, forcing his back straight. He suddenly reached out, grabbing the tallic orb and storing it in his Human Sanctuary. At the sa ti, wisps of the Aura of the Dead condensed around him, forming a black robe.
"If you want to fight, then let's fight! Why waste ti with words?"
He looked up at the sky, his Thunder Wings unfurling dramatically behind him. "I will not give you what you want! As for my life, if you think you have what it takes, then co and get it!"
The mont the words left his lips, his figure transford into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight toward the heavens!
"Sword One: Dragon Worship Sword!"
In the blink of an eye, Luo Xiu closed in on the colossal face. A beam of black Sword Qi condensed into a sharp line that seed to cleave the sky in two as it slashed forward!
「At this very mont.」
Throughout the Boundless Heavens, the spectating Cultivators were shocked speechless to see Luo Xiu truly dare to challenge the might of a Heavenly Emperor. An ordinary person would have simply collapsed under such might, let alone found the courage to fight. To any Cultivator beneath the rank of Heavenly Emperor, an Emperor was the very sky above their heads—inviolable!
Yet this man dared to raise his sword to strike down the heavens!
Such audacity!
Even Wuxing Chuan felt a flicker of admiration, his eyes trembling as he watched the figure soar toward the heavens. If it were , I would have bowed my head and pledged fealty long ago. I'd never have such courage!
「In the ruins of a mountain range far away.」
The fiercely battling Heaven-Supporting Venerable and Yang Jiu also ceased their fight.
Yang Jiu stared at the rainbow-like arc of black Sword Qi, the green flas in his eye sockets flickering as if stirred by intense emotion. This Sword Intent... Could it be Sword Thirteen?
Beside him, the Heaven-Supporting Venerable said, "If he doesn't die today, the Celestial Realm will one day be shaken to its core. A pity he is most certainly dood."
Hearing this, Yang Jiu looked away from the sky and toward the Heaven-Supporting Venerable. "What?" he asked in a hoarse voice. "You hope for his death?"
The Heaven-Supporting Venerable rely smiled faintly, offering no reply.
Of course, he hoped for Luo Xiu's death. Once Luo Xiu was gone, he would finally regain his freedom.
BOOM! An earth-shattering roar echoed out.
To everyone's astonishnt, Luo Xiu had actually shattered the massive face with a single sword strike. Though it was only a Law Manifestation, it belonged to a Heavenly Emperor!
The laughter of the Five Elents Emperor reverberated through The Void. "No wonder... I truly underestimated you, Azure Emperor."
Suddenly, the exploded spirit light reconvened into a face. Two bony hands erged from The Void, and in just a mont, a full skeletal fra clawed its way out. The skeleton was so unimaginably massive it seed to straddle the entire world!
"These are my Five Elents Bones. Allow to show you the true power of the Five Elents Heavenly Seal!"
Luo Xiu stood proudly in The Void, wreathed in the black Aura of the Dead. Even under such mountainous pressure, with a sword in his hand, he feared nothing.
Suddenly, a cold light flickered in his left eye. A trace of Divine Power quietly spread, instantly lding with the Mysterious Central Sword in his hand.
"Sword Twelve: Heaven's Lantation Final Breath!"
Luo Xiu slashed his sword, and black Sword Qi erupted in all directions. It ford a dark cloud that blotted out the sun as it surged madly toward the Five Elents Bones! With this strike, Luo Xiu had gambled everything, infusing it with his Divine Power!
"What?!" an astonished cry ca from The Void.
As the black cloud of sword energy swept over, the Five Elents Bones, which seed capable of destroying the world, began to crack. A strange sound, like shattering crystals, filled the air.
Throughout the Boundless Heavens, Cultivators clutched their ears as blood stread from their seven orifices.
"What a horrifying sound!"
"Everyone, get back!"
High in the sky, Luo Xiu's figure flashed. He raised his War Sword with both hands and decisively moved in to follow up.
CRASH!
A bolt of lightning that spanned the sky followed his sword, instantly pulverizing the cracked Five Elents Bones into dust!
Seeing this, the crowd was aghast. Wuxing Chuan trembled all over, his face a mask of disbelief. He... he even destroyed Grandfather's Five Elents Bones... Is this man truly just the White Emperor?
After destroying the Five Elents Bones with two consecutive strikes, Luo Xiu seed to have reached his limit. His body could no longer contain the Aura of the Dead in his Dantian. His Thunder Wings vanished, and he began to fall helplessly toward the ground.
But just then, the shattered Five Elents Bones suddenly reassembled! A bone claw large enough to blot out the sky reached out, grabbing directly for Luo Xiu!
"You can die without regrets, having destroyed my Five Elents Bones!"
As his body fell, Luo Xiu watched the horrifying bone claw approach and closed his eyes in despair, his consciousness fading.
I really... have no strength left. An Emperor is an Emperor... It took everything I had just to destroy his Law Manifestation. If I survive today, then one day... I swear I will ascend to the heavens and slaughter every last one of you so-called orthodox Celestials!
In his daze, he felt his descent halt, as if he had drifted into a soft cloud. The pain and death he had anticipated never arrived.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw a green vine erging from thin air, coiling around the terrifying bone claw and binding it. A delicate fragrance wafted to his nose.
Luo Xiu regained a sliver of consciousness. When he saw the breathtakingly beautiful face, he was stunned. "High... High Priest?"
An Ran held Luo Xiu in one arm, her gaze gentle. She then looked up at the sky, her eyes slowly sharpening as she spoke coolly, "A grand Five Elents Emperor, involving himself in the affairs of the younger generation?"
"The Ageless One… why are you here as well?"
An Ran's tone grew heavy. "Go back where you ca from. Otherwise, I will ascend this instant and bathe your Five Elents Heavenly Palace in blood!"
