Chapter 1921: Chapter 1921: Powerhouses Compete for the Rankings, Sneak Attack from Behind
Summit of the Sea Island.
The Abyss Clan elder’s virtual life stood with his back to all beings, unleashing an immense aura, imbued with the Great Dao, suppressing everyone present as if with heavenly might.
"Is this a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable?"
"What terrifying pressure!"
"I find myself completely immobile, even feeling a profound dread from the depths of my soul. How realistic is the simulation of the virtual world?"
Heavenly Venerable Lu and others were greatly shocked.
Everything before their eyes was incredibly real. If it weren’t for knowing this was the Void Heavenly World, and everything here was merely virtual, they would actually think this was another magnificent little world!
"A bunch of ants."
The Abyss Clan elder’s virtual life sneered, without turning around, merely waved his arm lightly toward Heavenly Venerable Lu and the others, stirring an invisible ripple.
Splash!
A wave of water rose from the sea, shattering mid-air into dozens of seemingly ordinary droplets, appearing slow yet moving so quickly that everyone had no time to react before they pierced through their foreheads, causing their internal virtual divine souls to collapse, and their consciousness gradually to fade.
"So... so terrifying!"
"Is this what a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable is? Truly terrifying beyond ordinary Hundred-layered Immortal Emperors!"
The crowd marveled repeatedly.
Poof!
Their bodies shattered into nothingness, their consciousness returning to their physical bodies in the real world, filled with lingering fear.
"Invincible, truly lonely."
The Abyss Clan elder’s virtual life didn’t even glance at Heavenly Venerable Lu and others, continued facing away from the entrance, looking up at the distant firmament, murmuring quietly.
Primordial Ancient Star, birth point.
Virtual lifeforms of Heavenly Venerable Lu, Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, and dozens of other powerful beings reappeared, engaging in discussion here, attracting the attention of countless cultivators around them.
"He just raised a splash of water, and we, who could join forces to challenge an ordinary Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, were killed. It was incredible."
"Half-Step Heavenly Venerable, truly terrifying."
"The Void Heavenly World is truly marvelous. In the real world, where could we encounter such a formidable enemy? I must say, the experience here is truly wonderful."
"Indeed, it’s a worthwhile journey."
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian and others discussed heatedly.
The crowd was even more intrigued hearing this.
"Let’s go, let’s also head to the Abyss Clan Secret Realm."
More and more people surged into it, enjoying being "insta-killed" by the Abyss Clan elder’s virtual life.
Twin Universe, True Dragon Realm.
"Void Heavenly World? Half-Step Heavenly Venerable? How interesting, truly interesting. I’m going to take a look and see how strong this legendary Half-Step Heavenly Venerable is."
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign laughed thrice and immediately set off.
Crimson Star System.
A graceful figure in a red dress stood quietly by the lake, gazing at her peerless reflection on the water surface.
"Void Heavenly World? Interesting!"
With that, the Crimson Queen also set off.
Divine Sword Continent.
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, having finished refining artifacts, bid farewell to Huo Venerable of the Eternal Ancient Divine Kingdom and returned to the Pyramid, intending to look at large Dao Stele fragments when he heard news of the Void Heavenly World, feeling deeply surprised internally.
"Was the Void Heavenly World created by Immortal Emperor Ye? He is only an eighty-something layered Immortal Emperor, yet he created a virtual world that has a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable?"
"Is it true?"
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor immediately set off, arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion in Whitefloat City, intending to purchase a piece of Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, only to find the Crimson Queen and Emperor Dragon Sovereign present.
"Divine Sword Immortal Emperor! I know you."
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign, walking like a dragon and pacing like a tiger, examined the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, who had just broken through to the ninety-fifth layered Immortal Emperor level.
At this moment, another figure approached.
She had a graceful figure, enchanting appearance, wearing a fiery red dress, none other than the Crimson Queen.
"You are the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor? I’ve heard that with the Divine Sword Continent behind you, you possess the combat strength of an ordinary Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level. Is this true or false? I am the master of the Crimson Star System, the Crimson Queen, and I wish to see for myself."
The Crimson Queen said with a seductive voice, laughing.
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor looked at the two, sweating profusely.
Recently, when Feng Chuan and Peerless Beauty set up to possess Ye Feng, the Crimson Queen and Emperor Dragon Sovereign erupted into a great battle, contending for the Destiny Fruit, both displaying power more terrifying than an ordinary Invincible Supreme.
This deeply shook the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor internally.
In his view, despite these two having cultivations similar to his, even if he were to fully utilize the Divine Sword Continent, he likely couldn’t match them.
Thus, he dared not fight them.
"Cough, cough, are both of you here in Whitefloat City to purchase Void Heavenly Ancient Jade and then enter the Void Heavenly World?"
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor promptly changed the subject.
"Yes, I’ve already purchased it."
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign pointed to his forehead; he had already refined the Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, integrating it into the depths of his sea of consciousness, ready to enter the Void Heavenly World at any time.
"I have as well," the Crimson Queen said, glancing at the Emperor Dragon Sovereign, her red lips curling, "Emperor Dragon Sovereign, do you dare to fight me to the death in the Void Heavenly World? However, looking at you, I fear you might not dare to spar with me!"
"Who’s afraid of you?" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign sneered coldly.
"Fine, then let’s have a battle!" The Crimson Queen licked her scarlet lips.
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor didn’t speak, quietly retreating to avoid being challenged by the Crimson Queen and Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
"Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, I’ve heard that your strength is also impressive. Once we’re in the Void Heavenly World, let’s spar a bit."
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign suddenly spoke up.
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor stumbled, nearly falling to the ground, cursing silently about facing exactly what he feared.
"I also want to see your power."
The Crimson Queen also set her sights on the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, giving a meaningful smile that left him quite speechless.
"Alright, it’s a deal."
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor agreed reluctantly.
Since death in the Void Heavenly World does not affect the real body’s condition, the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor thought, even if he were defeated or killed, he wouldn’t lose anything.
After all, both the Crimson Queen and Emperor Dragon Sovereign had displayed extraordinary strength in the recent competition for the Destiny Fruit, with a great reputation.
Losing wouldn’t harm his own reputation.
With this in mind, the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor no longer felt afraid.
In addition to the three, many top-tier cultivators nearing the Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor level had arrived.
However, they didn’t show themselves.
Many powerful beings purchased the Void Heavenly Ancient Jade, immediately returning to their strongholds, then dividing a strand of consciousness to enter the Void Heavenly World, appearing at the vast birth point.
"Come, let’s battle!"
As soon as the Emperor Dragon Sovereign appeared, he immediately set his sights on the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor nearby, planning to spar with him first.
"No rush!"
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor’s mouth twitched, internally noting that the Emperor Dragon Sovereign was truly a battle maniac, thinking of sparring with him immediately upon entering, ignoring the need to first familiarize oneself with the new Void Heavenly World?
"Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings!"
At this moment, the Crimson Queen noticed the rankings, immediately spotting the number one as a reclusive Ninety-Eighth Layered Immortal Emperor, known as Tiangang Immortal Emperor.
"Number one, Tiangang Immortal Emperor?" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign also focused on the rankings, "I must see what qualifies this person to rank first on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings."
"Emperor Dragon Sovereign, are you dissatisfied?!"
At this time, a burly middle-aged man, flickering with thunder, strode over with cold eyes.
He was the Tiangang Immortal Emperor.
A Ninety-Eighth Layered Immortal Emperor, with formidable combat power, recently defeating many opponents, temporarily ranking first on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings.
"Are you the Tiangang Immortal Emperor?"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign sized up the other, eager for a battle.
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor crossed his arms and asked, "Indeed, I am currently the top of the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, Tiangang Immortal Emperor. Emperor Dragon Sovereign, it seems you want to challenge my top position on the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings?"
"Of course, the top spot is mine." The Emperor Dragon Sovereign nodded, brimming with battle spirit.
The Divine Sword Immortal Emperor beside them was quite pleased.
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was drawn by the top-ranked Tiangang Immortal Emperor, so he didn’t need to make a move for the moment, which was pretty good. His impression of Tiangang Immortal Emperor had improved a bit.
"Fight, fight!"
Many Immortal Emperors around whispered to themselves.
"Then let’s fight!" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign said, glancing at the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor, "You spar with Tiangang Immortal Emperor first, so I can see what I’m up against."
Hearing this, the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor was dumbfounded.
"Divine Sword Immortal Emperor? Haha, he’s just an Immortal Emperor over ninety layers relying on the Divine Sword Continent. Although he has reached the ninety-fifth layer now, he’s no match for me. You want him to go first to observe my level, don’t you? Quite the calculation."
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor saw through the Emperor Dragon Sovereign’s strategy.
"Emperor Dragon Sovereign, you’re such a coward, trying to use the Divine Sword Immortal Emperor to test Tiangang Immortal Emperor. If you have the guts, go yourself!"
The Crimson Queen fanned the flames from the side.
"Hmph, you vile woman, shut your mouth!" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign glared at the Crimson Queen, exuding tension.
"Are you going to fight or not? If not, I’m off to indulge with virtual lifeforms." The Tiangang Immortal Emperor clasped his hands behind him, feeling a sense of longing.
The Void Heavenly World has a Flying Immortal Tower, where virtual lifeforms excel at dual cultivation, providing both physical and mental pleasure, even the Tiangang Immortal Emperor can’t resist.
"Bring it on!" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign took a step forward.
"To the Void Heavenly Arena." The Tiangang Immortal Emperor waved his sleeve, ascending first into the air, arriving at an arena miles wide on the other side of the Primordial Ancient Star.
Since this is a virtual world, even virtual lifeforms of True Heavenly Venerable level can’t destroy the Void Heavenly Arena. Thus, it becomes the chosen place for top-tier combatants to spar.
The Void Heavenly Arena.
A crowd had already gathered around.
In the center of the arena, the Tiangang Immortal Emperor and the Emperor Dragon Sovereign faced off from a few hundred meters apart, their bodies emanating strong auras, showcasing their solid foundations.
"Is a Ninety-Eighth Layer Immortal Emperor really powerful?"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign sneered.
He was a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor, and his combat power was three to five times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme Venerable. Although he was hiding his cultivation level, only exposing the ninety-sixth layer, he was confident in defeating the Tiangang Immortal Emperor.
"A Ninety-Eighth Layer Immortal Emperor isn’t powerful, but defeating you should be more than enough."
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor laughed.
"Arrogant!" The Emperor Dragon Sovereign roared, fine golden dragon scales appeared on his skin, and countless scales interwove in mid-air, transforming into a golden treasured sword.
"Arrogant? I have the strength to back it up."
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor crossed his arms, a domain of thunder manifested behind him, transforming into countless Punishment Divine Thunder, fiercely striking at the distant Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
"It’s Punishment Divine Thunder!"
"How does Tiangang Immortal Emperor know this move?"
The crowd was shocked.
"Punishment Divine Thunder?" Even the Emperor Dragon Sovereign’s heart trembled violently. He quickly swung his Dragon Scale Sword to slash, but was knocked back by the Punishment Divine Thunder, losing hundreds of dragon scales and convulsing all over.
"The combat power of a Nine-star Pinnacle King!"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign assessed the Tiangang Immortal Emperor’s power.
Although not as strong as an Invincible Supreme, the Tiangang Immortal Emperor had two layers higher cultivation and the added power of the Punishment Divine Thunder, making his true combat power comparable to an Invincible Supreme, slightly stronger than the suppressed cultivation Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
"What do you think I rely on to become number one? Isn’t it absolute strength? Hahaha!"
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor laughed heartily, erupting again.
Crack!
Terrifying Punishment Divine Thunder descended, numbering more than a billion paths, engulfing the entire Primordial Ancient Star, blindingly intense, making it impossible to open one’s eyes.
"Hmph, do you really consider yourself invincible?"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign roared, transforming into a pure True Dragon covered in dark golden dragon scales, with the shadow of the True Dragon Realm appearing behind him, empowering him with immense strength.
"Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash!"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign gathered his lifelong skills. Even though his cultivation was suppressed, he still unleashed terrifying power, suddenly spewing a dragon-shaped energy wave from his mouth.
Boom!
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor shuddered, his chest caved in and shattered, looking incredulously at the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
"What, stunned?"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign mocked.
The Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash was his pride and joy, hailed in the True Dragon Realm as a great law divine ability second only to the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability, his signature move.
With this divine skill unleashed, he felt invincible.
"The battle isn’t over, why gloat?"
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor performed complex gestures, withdrawing huge quantities of Punishment Divine Thunder that slashed at the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
Crack!
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign was blasted away again, losing tens of thousands of scales and getting charred in many places, yet he still wasn’t dead, his gaze growing colder.
He unleashed another Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash, severing the Tiangang Immortal Emperor in half.
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign pressed the attack.
Wave after wave of Dragon Emperor Dimensional Slash strikes dismantled the Tiangang Immortal Emperor’s virtual body, securing victory.
The Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings immediately shifted.
Emperor Dragon Sovereign took the top spot, pushing the former number one Tiangang Immortal Emperor and those ranked after him one position down, also displacing the previous hundred millionth rank off the list.
"Hahaha, I won."
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign laughed heartily.
"Hehe, Emperor Dragon Sovereign, you seem a bit too smug." At this moment, the Crimson Queen, who had long prepared a fatal strike, launched her ambush, a wave of law-infused silver needles pierced and turned the Emperor Dragon Sovereign into a pin cushion.
"You... vile woman!"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign slowly turned, seeing the triumphant Crimson Queen not far away, realized his body was starting to collapse, and before his consciousness faded, he glanced at the Cosmic Heavenly Ladder Rankings, finding that the top spot was now taken by the Crimson Queen.
And he, was now merely second!
"Damn it!"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign cursed loudly, never expecting to be tricked by the Crimson Queen.
Nearby, everyone gasped in shock.
Though dying in the Void Heavenly World has no effect on the original body, the Crimson Queen’s ambush to kill the heavily injured Emperor Dragon Sovereign definitely set them on the path of bitter enemies, likely to become archenemies in life and death in the future.
"Hahaha, well done with the kill!"
The Tiangang Immortal Emperor’s consciousness re-entered the starting point of the Primordial Ancient Star, just in time to see the Emperor Dragon Sovereign getting ambushed and killed by the Crimson Queen, feeling elated.
High in the sky.
Ye Feng looked on silently.
Regarding the scheming Crimson Queen, he maintained a poker face, merely being wary of her in his heart, to avoid being backstabbed by her at any moment.
In the Twin Universe, True Dragon Realm.
"You vile Crimson Queen!"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign cursed out loud, itching to rush into the Crimson Star System and engage in a real-life battle of life and death with the Crimson Queen, to avenge the ambush.
"No, I must stay calm!"
"The vile Crimson Queen seems to have also hidden her cultivation, and her combat power is strong. In the real world, I may not be able to defeat her. If we fight to a mutual loss, won’t it benefit others?"
The Emperor Dragon Sovereign gradually calmed down.
