C2218 Assassination
The dark Great Universe should have been cold and lonely, but somewhere, it was rather lively.
The seven Heavenly Emperors that had sneaked out from the deepest part of the Great Universe were blocked here by the Heavenly Monarch Mansion and the people from the Venerable Emperor Pavilion.
The two sides had been at loggerheads for nearly a month. No one could convince anyone else, and neither side had any chance of winning. Thus, they could only wait and see.
"Maybe we could sit down and have a nice drink." Dian Yu suggested with a smile.
In any case, no one dared to make a move, because a battle at this level would definitely result in someone dying. However, no one wanted to die.
For those who defied the heavens, stopping these seven people was considered as completing their mission, but for those seven Heavenly Emperors, restraining such a powerful force was enough to make them worthy of coming out.
There was no need to choose between life and death, because they would not risk their lives just for the existence deep within the Great Universe. Unless they had to choose between life and death, they didn't really want to descend upon the Time River either.
The strength of their Six-party Alliance was absolute, and the seven of them had restrained so many powerful heaven-defying experts. If their Six-party Alliance wasn't good enough, then there was really no saving them.
"Little brother, you're right. This is the first time that many of us have met. It's too rude to just stand there." A Female Heavenly Monarch laughed.
"True ?" He wasn't a genius at killing, so there was no need for him to kill anyone.
Both sides came to a tacit understanding and no longer tried to persuade each other. This was because both sides had their reasons, and neither side had their reasons.
From their point of view, they were all correct, but from the other party's point of view, this logic was full of holes.
"You guys have been out for so long, are you not afraid of us hiding in the depths of the Great Universe?" Dian Taishi looked at the Sky Emperor opposite him and laughed.
Not only were there people from the Six-party Alliance, there were also people from deep within the Great Universe. Those that defied the heavens would also constantly have people enter the depths of the Great Universe to open up a path in the battlefield.
This way, he would know himself and know his opponent in the final battle in the future. However, Heavenly Monarch Mansion and other heaven-defying individuals could not gain any advantage in the depths of the Great Universe, and were always at a disadvantage.
"As long as we can restrain you, Time River Realm's operation is successful, there's no harm in losing for a while."
They did not care about the outcome of the battle. Even if they were at the deepest part of the Great Universe, they still had a certain level of advantage. Even if they temporarily left the seven Heavenly Emperors, they would not lose in battle. At most, they would only feel some pressure towards those who defied the will of the heavens.
Both sides knew that the real battlefield was still in these places outside of the deepest parts of the Great Universe.
If Six-party Alliance were possible, obtaining a great victory here, then the side that defies the heavens would be suppressed to the point of no return.
On the contrary, if a side that defied the will of the heavens had the upper hand in Great Universe, then those people who protected the way to the depths of Great Universe would have a difficult time doing so.
"So many people actually appeared in the 50th era. It seems like all of you are betting on this."
Ling Yu said: "This is a huge gamble, a gamble between the living and Great Universe; the winner will bear the greatest price."
"Perhaps you don't know, but the existences deep within the Great Universe think that once the cycle of reincarnation starts, the appearance of cultivators will be completely restricted ? The land where all living beings live will become the land of the end, and the magic cannot be displayed again. " A Heavenly Emperor sneered.
"Therefore, this is our last chance." The God of Light was very calm. Those who had reached this step were already thinking of the consequences, and would not waver.
The existence at the deepest part of the Great Universe had already gathered enough Dao Protector. If it annihilated the powers of those who defied the heavens, it would no longer have to fear them.
From then on, there was no longer a need for life forms with Great Universe to have the ability to cultivate. Because for it, every extra cultivator could put it in danger of being attacked again.
"Looks like that thing has become smarter. It has finally thought of ending the era of cultivators." Dianjian said indifferently.
No one was angry, because this was something they had expected, so it wasn't worth getting angry over.
"I've thought of an interesting question ?" Shi Zhongtian chuckled, "If we, who are heaven defying beings, were to be annihilated... Say, do you think that thing deep in the Great Universe will allow you people to continue protecting it? "
"Hur hur, this question is indeed very interesting." Dian Chen also chuckled, his face full of ridicule.
The seven Heavenly Emperors all had slightly congealed expressions, their eyes filled with uncertainty.
If these heaven defying beings were all killed, then would there still be a need for Dao Protector like them to exist?
Relying on the depths of the Great Universe, how could the will of that existence allow such a powerful force to stay by its side?
At that time, perhaps the sly rabbit would die and the dog would be cooked.
"There's no need for you to worry about that. We have our own strategies to deal with it ?" The Female Heavenly Monarch opposite of the Taichu Bone Ship frowned, her eyebrows knitted together like a vertical eye.
The people from the Heavenly Monarch Mansion and the Venerable Emperor Pavilion all chuckled.
With Shi Zhongtian's words, he revealed the reason why the seven Celestial Emperors did not attack immediately, and instead confronted them head-on.
After flying birds, he hid his catapult.
A smart hunting dog would not help its master catch all the wild animals around it. Because... Once there were no more game in the hunter's eyes, he would focus his attention on the loyal hunting dog.
Since hunting dogs were useless, they naturally could not afford to waste food. It would be better to kill them and eat meat to satisfy their craving.
The Dao Protector s were also very smart.
They would never, never, truly exterminate all the heaven defying beings, would always leave behind some "seeds of fire", and let the existences at the deepest part of the Great Universe feel the danger they were in.
Only then would the Dao Protector s be needed and entrusted with important tasks.
Otherwise, there would be a day when they would be of no use, and their fates could be imagined.
After all, they were also powerful cultivators, and were a threat to existences deep within the Great Universe.
Sometimes, the enemy also needed protection, and that was to protect themselves.
The difference between right and wrong had never been so clear.
"Haha ?" The people from the Heavenly Monarch Mansion and the Venerable Emperor Pavilion were all chuckling. They were laughing at the seven Heavenly Emperors and all the Dao Protector s.
"All of you, defend it. In the end, it will still be difficult to end it. Why don't you join us ?" Even if I have to die, it will be a glorious death, and it will not lack pride. " Leng Wudi said in a righteous tone.
Emperor Qing nodded slightly and said seriously, "Mm ?" That's a good suggestion. How about it, think about it? We would very much welcome all of you to join us ? "
"Humph!" The seven Heavenly Emperors all coldly snorted.
To them, these words were simply too harsh. It was just a sarcastic remark.
They knew their own situation, but from the moment they became the Dao Protector, they had no other choice. He could be disobedient, but he would not dare to disobey the betrayal. He would die an ugly death.
Moreover, even if they were to betray the heaven defying, they would still not be accepted. No one would believe that they were once branded with a Great Universe.
"We are very sincere." Dian Chen said.
"Nonsense!" A Female Heavenly Monarch with a big temper was finally unable to endure it any longer and was provoked.
When they thought about the situation they were facing, their killing intent flared.
It had killing intent toward those who defied the heavens and even more so towards those who wielded Great Universe, but they only dared to show it to the former.
"Puff ?" It was very sudden!
A sudden change occurred. No one expected it, and a slit suddenly appeared between Female Heavenly Monarch's eyebrows, as though a sharp blade had looked down upon him and pierced through the back of her head into the spiritual altar, coming out from between her eyebrows.
"Ugh!" The Female Heavenly Monarch originally wanted to throw a tantrum, but she only had enough time to exclaim in shock. Her eyes instantly turned fearful, and her body fiercely trembled.0
In the air, an invisible Killing Sword appeared from between the Female Heavenly Monarch's eyebrows, unstained by a drop of blood.
"Capricorn!" When the six Heavenly Emperors saw this sudden scene, their expressions all changed in an instant, filled with rage.
"Attack!" The formless Killing Sword once again disappeared, and the killing intent converged. No one could find where it was.
"The Heavenly Monarch Yuan is here!"
"Kill them!" Both sides suddenly erupted, and even the people from the Xian Yuan Fang did not know when the Heavenly Monarch Yuan came over to assassinate the Heavenly Emperor.
"I am a peerless existence, not a Heavenly Monarch Yuan of Dark Ancient." The legendary Divine Consciousness covered the battlefield. No one knew where he was, but he was definitely there.
"Boom boom boom!"
The successful assassination of Peng Wuju had enraged six Heavenly Emperors. Three of them had suppressed the other three with all their might.
God of Light, Dian Taishi, Dian Chen and Emperor Qing joined hands to face three Celestial Emperors who were on par with them.
Shi Zhongtian and Leng Wudi, Dianjian and Dian Yu, as well as Qing Susu and Ling Yu on the Taichu Bone Ship, had suppressed them when they faced the three Celestial Emperors.
After all, they were not Heavenly Emperors, and their cultivation realms had yet to reach the sixth or seventh heaven of Immortal King.
"Cough!" Someone coughed blood on the Xian Yuan Fang, causing Leng Wudi and Shi Zhongtian to retreat. The Sky Emperor whom the two of them had teamed up against was not simple at all.
"Heaven Decimating Hand!" The Heavenly Emperor directly released his taboo power. He grasped absolute strength, and with a single palm strike, he would be able to kill the Heavenly Emperor!
However, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. When he activated the Spiritual Sense at full speed, his divine instinct was exceptionally sharp.
Boom!" The Heaven Decimating Hand suddenly turned and shattered the space.
"The third reincarnation!" Canon No longer avoided it at all. Summoning three Cultivation Level s into its body, the Sword Qi instantly erupted.
The Spiritual Sense and Heaven's Eyes could not be seen, and could only be determined by divine instinct.
"A rat!" The Sky Emperor roared. Under the pressure of his Heaven Decimating Hand, the peerless Sword Qi was annihilated and his palm strike shattered the Great Universe and the void.
In an instant, the Celestial Emperor felt danger as he struck out with his palm.
But that was a classic invincible attack from the east, he used the Imperial Sword Technique, the invisible Emperor Killing Sword rushed forward, while his original body also closed in.
Boom!" Sky Emperor's divine instinct was extraordinary, and he had a lot of battle experience. Having seen through Dian Wuju's strategy, he suddenly threw a palm attack at Dian Wuju.
The aftershocks shook both Leng Wudi and Leng Wudi, nearly causing them to lose their balance.
"Weng ? ?" Dian Wuju materialized and stood by Leng Wudi and Shi Zhongtian's side. He let out a long breath, and squinted his eyes.
Sure enough, even the Heavenly Emperor was not an easy opponent. It was already quite decent that he was able to kill the weakest among them.
