Chapter 21 Fighting Two Emperors Alone
"clang--!!!"
A sharp and resounding bell rang out in the Northern Sea at the critical moment.
The two fierce sword lights, powerful enough to annihilate the primordial spirit of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, were abruptly blocked by an invisible ripple of spacetime just as they were about to touch the Taiyi Gate.
The Chaos Bell trembled violently, unleashing countless streams of primordial energy that tightly protected Taiyi within it.
Even so, the ultimate killing laws contained in the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords still penetrated the bell's defense, causing Taiyi's primordial spirit to sway and his protective golden light to shatter inch by inch.
Taiyi retreated tens of thousands of miles, until he reached the edge of the Northern Sea, where he finally managed to stabilize himself.
His face was pale, and in addition to his original anger, his eyes showed an even greater sense of shock that he could not hide.
"What a terrifyingly deadly sword! And what a vicious timing!"
If it weren't for the Chaos Bell, his innate treasure, protecting him, he would have had his three flowers on his head cut off and his indestructible Great Luo Dao Fruit destroyed in that instant!
"call--"
The cold wind howled, and the void shattered.
A figure dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe slowly walked out from the broken gap in the formation.
With each step taken, a golden lotus of the Great Dao blooms in the void beneath one's feet.
It is indeed the Kunpeng!
At this moment, his face was ashen, and his eyes were so sinister they seemed to drip water.
Most striking are the three lotus pedestals surrounding him.
He treads upon the twelve-tiered red lotus of karmic fire, the red lotus of karmic fire burning fiercely, incinerating all karmic causes and sins.
Atop his head, twelve pure white lotuses radiate light, casting countless rays of holy white radiance that are impervious to all laws and ward off all evil.
Behind him, the ninth-grade world-destroying black lotus slowly rotated, emanating a destructive aura that made the world pale in comparison, like a black hole that devoured everything.
Red, white, and black!
The three-colored divine light intertwined, constantly arising and ceasing, evolving into a near-perfect defensive field of the Great Dao.
Against the backdrop of these three lotus platforms, Kunpeng resembled an ancient demon god emerging from chaos. Its power was so great that it overwhelmed the aura of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, two late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortals, all by its own strength!
"Kun... Fellow Daoist Kunpeng!"
Upon seeing this, Di Jun's pupils constricted sharply, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."
He never expected Kunpeng's reaction to be so intense, launching a killing move right away.
Moreover, judging from this situation, the other party is clearly really angry, and may even be intent on killing!
Di Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and quickly stepped forward, cupping his hands in a respectful bow, and said in a sincere tone:
"Fellow Daoist, hold your hand! This is all a misunderstanding!"
"My brother and I came here to pay our respects to you, fellow Daoist, and to discuss our grand plan against the demon race. However, my younger brother, Taiyi, is impetuous. When he saw that you refused to see him, he acted rashly and made a hasty move."
"We have disturbed your peaceful cultivation, and even accidentally injured one of your disciples. It is truly our fault."
"Di Jun is here to apologize to you on behalf of my second brother. I am willing to compensate you for all your losses, hoping to turn hostility into friendship. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng?"
Di Jun's words were an extremely humble statement.
As a born emperor, it is already quite remarkable that he has achieved this.
After all, his purpose in coming here was to win over Kunpeng. If they really fought and became mortal enemies, then the Heavenly Court's grand plan would be completely ruined.
However, upon hearing this, Kunpeng's sneer grew even stronger.
"Misunderstanding? Compensation?"
Kunpeng's gaze, sharp as a knife, coldly swept over Dijun, finally landing on Taiyi, and he sneered:
"Di Jun, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"
"Your second brother, by unleashing the Chaos Bell in an attempt to shatter my protective mountain formation, is this what you call acting on impulse?"
"He severely injured the disciples I had mentored, leaving them in a state of near death. Is that what you call reckless action?"
"You've stormed my dojo and humiliated me. Now that things are going badly, you think you can just brush it all off with a flimsy 'misunderstanding'?"
Kunpeng's killing intent surged, and the three lotus platforms suddenly accelerated their rotation, emitting a deafening buzzing sound.
"In the primordial era, flour was more important than the heavens!"
"If I allow you to escape unscathed today, how will I, the leader of this demon sect, ever have the face to rule over all demons again?!"
"Further words are pointless. Since you're here, leave something behind before you go!"
Before he finished speaking, Kunpeng completely ignored Dijun's ugly expression.
"Taiyi! Die!"
With a roar, Kunpeng's figure swayed, and the Law of Wind was activated to its limit.
He vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already above Taiyi's head!
"kill!"
The Yuan Tu and A Bi swords were drawn again, transforming into two blood dragons and black dragons, each ten thousand feet long, intertwining and swooping down to kill each other.
With this strike, Kunpeng held nothing back.
The power of several Great Dao Laws—the Law of Slaughter, the Law of Destruction, the Law of Pure Yang, the Law of Devouring—was simultaneously poured into the sword.
The void crumbled like fragile paper under this sword strike, revealing the dark void turbulence.
"Kunpeng! You've gone too far!"
Seeing that Kunpeng was relentlessly pursuing him, each move potentially fatal, Taiyi's pride and anger were completely ignited.
"Does the Emperor really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Taiyi no longer retreated, his whole body burning with the true fire of the sun, transforming into a god of fire.
He held up the Chaos Bell with both hands, disregarding the depletion of his magical power, and frantically activated this supreme treasure of creation.
"Suppress the primordial chaos! All ages are empty!"
On the Chaos Bell, the images of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind all appeared together.
Waves of energy, imbued with the power to imprison time, crashed into the twin swords that were hurtling towards them.
"Boom—!!!"
A head-on clash between a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and an innate supreme treasure!
A terrifying shockwave emanated from the two of them and instantly swept across the entire Northern Sea.
If it weren't for the Five Elements Yin-Yang Reversal Array and the Three Lotus Protection set up by Kunpeng, the hundreds of millions of miles of glaciers in the Northern Sea would have been reduced to nothing in an instant.
"puff!"
Taiyi spat out another mouthful of golden divine blood.
Although the Chaos Bell is powerful, it is a supreme innate treasure with unparalleled defense.
But Kunpeng's attack was too strange and domineering!
The killing power was all-pervasive, the devouring law constantly weakened Zhongbo's power, and the destruction law went straight to the source.
What's even more terrifying is that Kunpeng's defense, formed by the combination of three lotus platforms, is simply a bottomless pit.
Taiyi's true solar fire and the chaotic bell wave struck it, but apart from creating ripples, they couldn't harm Kunpeng in the slightest!
They only attacked and didn't defend, completely overwhelming Taiyi!
Taiyi was being forced to retreat under the relentless onslaught, and even his primordial spirit body began to crack.
Di Jun, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng! Since you insist on not giving up, then don't blame us brothers for ganging up on you!"
Di Jun's face showed a resolute expression.
He knew that this feud was now truly settled.
If they don't join forces, his second brother might really perish here today!
"The Yellow River produces a map, the Luo River produces a book; the stars of the heavens, heed my command!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Emperor Jun sent out two scrolls exuding a mysterious star-like aura.
It was none other than the supreme innate spiritual treasures—the Hetu and Luoshu!
The moment these two treasures appeared, they immediately drew upon the power of the stars in the heavens.
In an instant, the originally dim Northern Darkness sky transformed into a dazzling galaxy.
Countless starlight converged into a massive innate formation, transforming into a vast river of starlight that pressed down on Kunpeng, attempting to alleviate the pressure on Taiyi.
"Well done!"
Faced with the combined attack of two top experts, Kunpeng was not afraid at all. Instead, he roared to the sky, his fighting spirit boiling.
"Di Jun! Tai Yi! Today I will show you what a true master of all demons is! What the true laws of the Great Dao are!"
With a turn of its body, the Kunpeng revealed three thousand demonic runes behind its head, and the Golden Wheel of Merit appeared and disappeared.
With his left hand, he manipulated the three lotuses—red, white, and black—transforming them into three pillars of light that reached the heavens, forcefully withstanding the suppression of Di Jun's starry sky.
His right hand still wielded the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, each move aimed at Taiyi's vital points.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and inhaled.
"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"
A terrifying suction force, seemingly capable of devouring the heavens, erupted.
He swallowed most of the starlight that fell from the sky, turning it into a surge of magical power that nourished himself.
One against two, fighting two emperors alone!
This battle raged so fiercely that the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.
The seawater of the Northern Sea was dried up several times by the waves, only to be filled with the floodwaters that poured in.
The void was riddled with holes, and earth, water, fire, and wind raged wildly.
As Di Jun and Tai Yi fought, they became increasingly alarmed and terrified.
They originally thought that with the strength of the two brothers, plus the Chaos Bell and the Hetu Luoshu, they should be invincible in the prehistoric world, except for the high and mighty sage.
But today, this cruel reality has slapped them hard in the face.
This Kunpeng is simply a monster!
Not only is its magical power unfathomable, but it also seems inexhaustible.
The endless stream of magical treasures they possessed only fueled their despair.
The three lotus platforms offer unparalleled defense, the Yuan Tu A Bi is invincible in slaughter, and there are also six or seven unpredictable Great Dao Laws...
No matter what methods they used, even a supreme innate treasure like the Chaos Bell could only barely protect itself and could not cause any real damage.
"How is this possible... how could he be this strong?!"
Taiyi's hair was disheveled, his golden armor was shattered, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He always proclaimed himself the God of War of the Primordial Era, the number one person below the Sage.
But now, in front of Kunpeng, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Di Jun's face was also deathly pale, and his hands, which were manipulating the Hetu Luoshu, were trembling slightly.
He could sense that although Kunpeng would find it difficult to completely break through the Chaos Bell's defenses and suppress them in the short term.
However, in reality, Kunpeng completely gained the upper hand!
The two brothers were being suppressed and beaten!
If it weren't for the Chaos Bell's astonishing defenses and the profound nature of the Hetu Luoshu formation, they would probably have already been defeated, or even faced the danger of perishing.
"Is this the power of the Demon Cult Leader...?"
Di Jun felt extremely bitter.
He finally understood why Kunpeng could overpower the Three Pure Ones and stand out from the crowd in Zixiao Palace.
Such strength and such foundation have long surpassed the scope of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals.
