Chapter 1413 - 747: Chaotic Battle (Part 2)

This Time Knife cuts directly at years and lifespan.

Perhaps for the current-era powerhouses, it’s nothing more than losing several decades, even a hundred years of time.

Yet for these powerhouses who have slumbered from the fall of the Ancient Heavenly Court all the way until now, this was without question the most fatal, most vital strike!

With this blade swept out, those Demon Venerables who had been restrained and hadn’t yet had time to self-detonate shuddered all over, then were swept up by that knife light.

Their originally aged bodies decayed once more; many directly died of old age on the spot, turning into a scatter of ashes, collapsing into nothing.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As the Array Hubs of the Great Array were continuously reduced, one Demon Venerable after another on the other side instantly aged, and the All Heaven Star Array also began to show crack after crack.

This instantly made the Heavenly Court’s Mixed Pill Late Stage powerhouses’ eyes almost split with fury; they wished they could directly eradicate that blade-wielding Demon Venerable.

Yet without needing them to act, the blade-wielding Demon Venerable’s whole body trembled, his body rapidly aged, and with a thud he fell to the ground, likewise dying of old age on the spot.

For the two sides, one side had only lost a single Venerable-level technique, while the other had lost nearly thirty to forty Demon Venerables at the Mixed Cave Early Stage.

Many Demon Venerables at the Mixed Cave Middle Stage were now also on their last breath, only barely able to struggle.

In an instant, the strength of the Celestial Court Demon Venerable side plummeted to rock bottom.

"I knew this method had a flaw."

The Dao Yi Sect’s Sect Leader cursed under his breath and could only step forward to make a move to block.

Whether it was these powerhouses of the Eight Great Sects, or the Celestial Court Demon Venerables, at this moment they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope.

And just as both sides were continuously striking and clashing, from the depths of the distant Void, a gaze suddenly fell.

That gaze was incomparably deep, making both sides of the battlefield involuntarily shudder.

Deathly silence!

An unprecedented deathly silence suddenly shrouded the entire battlefield!

Every Demon Daoist Venerable halted their steps, not daring to move.

And in the next moment, a bell chime suddenly rang out.

Dang!

The sonorous bell sound rippled out, and the Time River descended once more.

However, compared to the Time River previously summoned by that blade-wielding Demon Venerable using the Time Knife, this Time River now seemed almost tangible, as if it were truly real.

"This..."

Ao Qing and the other powerhouses’ pupils contracted, and they hurriedly retreated.

"Is that Golden Crow Emperor about to make a move!?"

"Wasn’t he battling the Old Ancestors?"

"Impossible. He couldn’t have gained the upper hand and ended the battle so quickly."

"Wait—could it be he intends to reverse the flow of time?"

Countless powerhouses were shocked in their hearts and retreated one after another.

They wondered if that Golden Crow Emperor intended to directly summon back the Demon Venerables who had just died of old age from within the Time River.

No one understood the true power of a Daoist Master of the Path of Time, and none dared to secretly speculate.

But in the next instant, something occurred that surpassed everyone’s expectations—Xi’e, who had been standing in the middle of the battlefield without making any move, suddenly raised her hand and reached toward that Time River.

The next instant, from within that Time River, a bright moon fell out and then fused into this Heavenly Court Empress’s body.

In an instant, a vast, boundless aura burst forth; even the surrounding Void seemed to freeze, as an irresistible, chilling cold erupted.

"This..."

In the next moment, Xi’e appeared again, yet this time she had a physical body, as if she had come back to life!

Both sides of the battlefield showed different expressions at this scene, but without question the Heavenly Court side was wild with joy.

That Golden Crow Emperor had made a move, summoning this Heavenly Empress’s body from the Time of the past.

"Could she be a Demon Lord!?"

Jiang Shu’s pupils shrank, and he immediately widened the distance between himself and Golden Horn.

Golden Horn did the same, retreating rapidly.

But in the next instant, a cold voice rang out across the entire battlefield.

"No need to fear. It’s impossible for her to possess Demon Lord battle strength. Otherwise, with just a single wisp of remnant soul, how could she possibly withstand the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao? At present this Heavenly Empress is only at Demon Venerable Peak; just be careful."

From atop the distant Emperor Palace, that Five Virtues Phoenix spoke.

Hearing these words, countless powerhouses on the battlefield all let out a slight breath of relief.

They could also clearly sense Xi’e’s present aura; indeed, it was only at Demon Venerable Peak and had not reached the Daoist Master level.

In that case, it merely meant the course of the battle had changed somewhat.

And just as they were pondering, another cluster of light, a blazing great sun, suddenly fell from that Time River.

It was actually another Golden Crow!

This was that former Daoist Master of the Fire Dao—Di Yang!

The Golden Crow Emperor, Heavenly Empress Xi’e, Di Yang.

Back then the Heavenly Court was guarded by these three Demon Lords; when they joined forces, they could even suppress the other Demon Lords of the Demon Domain.

After all, the other Demon Lords were not like the Heavenly Court, capable of mutual trust and cooperation.

Once they reached this level, any Demon Lord making a move lightly would haggle over every ounce, preventing themselves from suffering a loss.

After all, when a Demon Lord acts, if there isn’t a heaven-shaking profit, then it’s just shortening their own lifespan.

But without question, the struggle over the Immortal Embryo now was the greatest profit of all!

For a Daoist Master, nothing was more tempting than living a second life.

As that Time River roared forward, Heavenly Empress Xi’e and Di Yang stepped out from it, yet did not possess true Demon Venerable Level strength.

The price required to summon a being standing at the end of a Great Dao was not something the current Golden Crow Emperor could bear.

But even so, Xi’e and Di Yang, having been summoned out, had definitely once possessed Peak Mixed Cave Realm strength.

The two beings stepped out of the Time River, immediately drawing the gaze of the entire field.

"This..."

Ao Qing, seeing this scene, suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

He made a snap decision and immediately issued an order:

"All powerhouses who have comprehended anything of the Time Dao, come with me to break that Time River!"

His thinking was very simple.

Without doubt, since that Demon Lord could summon Xi’e and Di Yang from the Time River, who could say whether he might summon other top-tier powerhouses of the Demon Race Heavenly Court?

And for a Demon Lord, summoning a few Venerable-level powerhouses was no big matter.

The other Demon Venerable powerhouses immediately reacted as well, their gazes locking firmly onto that Time River in the firmament.

"We shall go!"

Ao Qing took the lead, letting out a long roar. The golden Dragon Scale on his body whistled out, directly charging toward the Time River, Time power appearing all around him.

Only by comprehending the Path of Time could one be qualified to advance to the position of Daoist Master.

Without doubt, although Ao Qing did not dare step into that Realm, he had indeed gained something from the Path of Time!

Seeing this, Xi’e, who had been summoned out, glanced at him and then spoke:

"Just you?"

She extended a jade-like hand and gently slapped downward; suddenly, a bright moon dropped straight down.

Moonlight filled the sky; in an instant, it arrived right before Ao Qing.

Boom!

An incredibly terrifying roar resounded as the Path of Time and lightning entwined; a muffled-thunder-like sound rang out, and Ao Qing’s massive body was forcibly pressed downward.

"Rise!"

Ao Qing roared madly, both claws forcibly holding up that bright moon, preventing himself from being directly smashed down.

At the same time, the other Demon Race powerhouses also poured out one after another, charging straight toward that Time River.

"Destroy it for me!"

Among the many demons, that Old Taotie at the Mixed Cave Late Stage Realm galloped on four hooves; staring at the Time River, he opened his great mouth. The terrifying Devouring Dao manifested from his body.

Though it hadn’t reached the absolute extreme, it was still at its strongest state.

It was as if countless Great Daos could all be devoured.

"Swallow Heaven and Earth!"

A layer of pitch-black gloom spread out; the Devouring Dao instantly bloomed, and even the bright moon radiance released by Xi’e was forcibly swallowed.

And just then, Di Yang, who had stepped out of the Time River, stretched out his hand, and countless tongues of Taiyang True Fire fell from the firmament. Working together with that bright moon radiance, they unleashed an even more terrifying might!
