Chapter 1503: Emperor Chang Sheng’s Final Stand

Three Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures forcefully broke through the formation at Nan Chao City.

Emperor Bei Xing was a round ball covered in spikes. Those spikes were constantly changing position and fluctuating in length while shimmering like black, pulsing stars.

Its thousand feet wide body tremored with indescribably twisted and insane laughter. “Kukuku… Emperor Chang Sheng, you old fart! How are you going to escape from all three of us today?”

Emperor Chang Sheng did not give a reply. Firm conviction appeared on his weathered face, and he tried to repair his formation with all his power.

He could borrow on the power of the formation to summon power greater than his own, but at the same time, he would sustain injuries if the formation was damaged, so this tactic was very much a double-edged sword.

The formation which encompassed the entire city tremored as countless particles of golden light rose up from the ground before converging to form a golden divine sword exuding vast divine might!

“Go.” Emperor Chang Sheng stood on the city wall and raised a hand, upon which the sword hurtled toward Emperor Bei Xing.

The golden divine sword transformed into a streak of golden light, which instantly sliced through the space in its path.

Emperor Bei Xing’s smile froze on its face as the divine sword appeared right before it!

“Shooting Star Sobs!” A mouth suddenly opened up on the round ball that was Emperor Bei Xing, which was then followed by a burst of earth-shattering sobs. “Ah…!!!”

The enraged and grief-stricken sobs were like roars of despair, like a heinous abyss of depravity.

Inky-black soundwaves crashed straight toward the divine sword, blunting its power.

Not only that, but a part of the sobs penetrated through Emperor Chang Sheng’s formation and acted directly upon the cultivators on the city wall. Over ten thousand cultivators instantly began drooling as their eyes turned bloodshot, and they clamped their hands over their ears. Tormented wails erupted, and they felt like they were about to go insane from the pain and despair.

One second later, over ten thousand cultivators perished.

They had been corrupted to death by Emperor Bei Xing’s sobs.

Emperor Chang Sheng let loose an enraged cry. A divine light, which lit up heaven and earth, erupted from the golden divine sword as the power of the formation was injected into the divine sword in a frenzy.

Ding!

A crisp ringing sounded from the sword.

The divine sword tore through the power of Emperor Bei Xing’s sobs before striking its spiked body.

“Ahhhh…” Emperor Bei Xing let loose a wail of anguish as it was forced back over ten kilometers by the divine sword, and inky-black blood erupted from its body.

However, at this moment, Empress Helen and Emperor Yi Deng began to launch a series of devastating attacks upon the formation just as Emperor Bei Xing was being attacked.

Boom!

The formation was broken once again!

A sea of blood surged toward the city wall, tearing it apart like floodwaters breaking through a dam.

Over twenty thousand cultivators were inundated by the sea of blood.

Most of the Nan Chao City inhabitants had already evacuated from this place, but some of them were still here, and they didn’t even have a chance to cry out before they were completely melted by the sea of blood.

“You b*stards! Come at me if you want a battle, leave the civilians alone!” Emperor Chang Sheng roared with rage as he frantically repaired the formation.

It was also at this moment that Empress Helen’s black sleeve expanded drastically in size and began to tear the formation apart.

The sleeve was like a wandering dragon, wreaking havoc upon the city wall. All cultivators who came into contact with it were all instantly reduced to dried, shriveled corpses devoid of all blood.

Boom!

A cannon blast erupted!

A golden cannon blast made the space around the massive sleeve crumble, causing the sleeve to show signs of crumbling as well, but the sleeve soon returned to normal.

The sleeve instantly slew the cultivator operating the cannon before snagging the inky-black cannon.

“Oh? So this is the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Ionic Crumbling Cannon?” Empress Helen appraised the cannon with a smile. “Not bad.”

All of a sudden, the inky-black cannon turned completely red, and an extremely terrifying light erupted forth.

An indescribable sense of danger instantly enshrouded Empress Helen.

Her pupils contracted, and right at this moment, the cannon exploded.

Boom!

Red energy as dazzling as the sun incinerated everything around it.

Destructive ions incinerated heaven and earth, causing space to collapse and creating a doomsday-like scene.

Elder Zhou Yu of the Purple Star Pavilion stood atop the city wall with a faint smile on his face. “No one has ever taken anything from the Purple Star Pavilion in this ongoing war of several decades. If you really want one, I guess I’ll just have to give you a self-detonating cannon…”

A black shadow tore through the destructive energy before hurtling back in retreat.

This was the slightly disheveled Empress Helen, and she glowered at Zhou Yu with a thunderous expression. “No one has ever been able to stop me from taking something I want.”

Terrifying Dao Integration Stage aura instantly swept forth.

Zhou Yu was struck by unprecedented pressure, but he remained standing on the city wall. Ever since he decided to join the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army, he had prepared himself to lay down his life on the battlefield!

Emperor Bei Xing tore apart the golden divine sword using its spikes, and the wound inflicted upon its body was healing at a rate discernible to the naked eye.

Emperor Yi Deng’s attacks became more and more ferocious.

Blood trickled from the corner of Emperor Chang Sheng’s lips, but he still maintained the spell formation with all his might as he materialized another golden sword using the power of the formation in order to counterattack!

“Kukuku… Resistance is futile! All of you are going to die here today!” Emperor Bei Xing’s demonic voice penetrated through the spell formation and proliferated for over a thousand kilometers, spreading into the ears of all of the cultivators and chipping away at their battle intent.

At the same time, the Blood Tribe army and Void Spirit Tribe army began to converge toward the city wall.

It would be impossible for Emperor Chang Sheng to defend against the attacks of all of these living beings with his formation, so he could only defend against the attacks that were powerful enough to annihilate the city and leave the rest to the cultivators on the city wall alongside him.

An extremely fierce battle finally erupted.

The enemy forces had already been reduced to seventeen million from their original twenty million, while the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army had been reduced to just over four million from their original five million. It looked like they had gained the upper hand as they had sustained fewer casualties, but they knew that this was only because of the advantage they had gained from using the formation and the terrain.

In the next stage of the battle, the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army was going to suffer casualties at a significantly faster rate.

Enemies began to fly toward or scale up the city wall. The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army cultivators abandoned their long-distance weapons and drew their melee weapons to engage in close-quarters combat. Blood instantly began to stain the entire city wall.

All of the Return to Void Stage mighty figures intentionally avoided their allies and flew into the air, upon which the sky became an epic battlefield for them.

The Kingdom of the Nine States United Army had a slight advantage on the Return to Void Stage battlefield.

There were over eight Return to Void Stage mighty figures from the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army up against over two hundred Soul Piercing Stage Heavenly Human Tribe powerful beings and over twenty Blood Tribe Return to Void Stage mighty figures as well as a dozen or so Void Spirit Tribe Return to Void Stage mighty figures. The reason why the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army had gained the upper hand was simply because of how powerful the Four Nine Immortal Sect’s Blood Pavilion was!

There a dozen or so Holy Worshippers, all of whom were at least at the pinnacle of Return to Void Intermediate Stage, and they could fight multiple enemies on their own!

Empress Helen was just about to join in on the battle against Emperor Chang Sheng when three gorgeous figures appeared in a triangular formation, trapping Empress Helen within.

Empress Helen was a little dazed as she looked around at the three people around her.

The three Blood Pavilion mighty figures at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, Ada, Jin Ling, and Jin Yao, had surrounded their former master!
