Chapter 2133: Chapter 2078–2079: Inevitable Slaughter, Void Execution_2
“Emperor Bai, Emperor Red, back when the Green Emperor left Fuxi’s Zither, he must have foreseen the current chaos through Tian Ji. Realizing today’s turbulence, even with me activating Fuxi’s Zither, I can’t rescue you. You must wait for the opportunity, for me to beseech the True Immortals of the Green Emperor Lineage to act, to cleanse the Demonic Way from you.” The Green King, his garments tattered, was far from his previous calm. Even for a strong figure such as him, facing the fallen strong of Emperor Red and Emperor Bai, he struggled greatly.
Were it not for the last-minute assistance from Fuxi’s Zither and the Fire Emperor taking out the Divine Dynasty’s foundational Divine Weapons to suppress the demonic altar in the Dragon Burying Abyss and break it, the Green King and the Undying Flame King—even with their supreme divine abilities—would have found it difficult to escape the calamity.
Threads of demonic energy emanated from the Dragon Burying Abyss. Even though many fallen strong figures were suppressed, the gathered overwhelming demonic energy, even Fuxi’s Zither could not clear it in a short time, still pressing heavily upon the Green King.
Of course, perhaps it’s not that Fuxi’s Zither is lacking, but that the power of its user, the Green King, is insufficient.
Even as a supreme overlord, the Green King could contend against True Immortals, but ultimately, he was no True Immortal. To refine this demonic energy essence was beyond him. After all, the situation in the Dragon Burying Abyss was not forged by ordinary demonic strong figures; even an intervention by powerful True Immortals is not out of question.
Ultimately, given the Demonic Way’s overseas scheming, there must be genuine strong figures acting.
“Yet this operation went so smoothly, it’s a bit beyond my expectation. By logic, since the Demonic Way has schemed overseas, how could it be so easily broken by us, dismantling the Dragon Burying Abyss’s arrangements?” the Fire Emperor pondered, frowning in perplexity.
This operation went too smoothly. Even with past Emperor Red’s notes and their powerful divine weapon treasures, the path here was almost devoid of considerable hindrances, quite unlike what was anticipated.
“Perhaps they have grander plans!”
The Green King’s eyes revealed undisguised hatred. Since the Demonic Way began deviating, they’ve repeatedly infringed upon human race’s interests, disturbing them. Now, the Demonic Way acts again, naturally stirring deep resentment in the Green King.
“From my dealings with Demonic Way strong figures, they are definitely not this simple; there must be deeper schemes behind the scenes, this place could merely be a bait,” spoke the Wind and Thunder Taoist.
He, as a guest elder of the Fire Emperor, naturally followed alongside the Fire Emperor in wars. Even with the Dragon Burying Abyss being extremely dangerous, the Wind and Thunder Taoist did not retreat. Besides, he was deeply curious about the legendary Dragon Burying Abyss.
Although he did not find any special fortune from the Dragon Burying Abyss, it was still quite rewarding for the Wind and Thunder Taoist.
Now, hearing the Fire Emperor’s query, the Wind and Thunder Taoist also shared his thoughts. After all, he had traveled across the Divine Land World and had been to the Realms of Heavenly Seas, even having dealings with Demonic Way strong figures.
Those people were all very troublesome, especially when it came to Demonic Way plans. These Demonic Way strong figures absolutely possess a determination that doesn’t relinquish their plans until they reach the Yellow River.
After they ventured into the Dragon Burying Abyss, finding their path unexpectedly smooth, he had actually sensed something odd, but suppressed it, keeping silent, knowing as a guest elder no need to stir matters now.
The few fell silent, frowning deeply.
At this moment, the Water and Fire Taoist tentatively spoke: “Could it be the intervention of the Five Emperors, or perhaps they dispatched someone to divert the focus of the Demonic Way strong figures, leaving them with no time for overseas affairs.”
The Water and Fire Taoist’s proposal was not without sense; even though the human race’s Five Emperors would foster their descendants, they couldn’t truly stand aside, especially when a True Immortal has meddled.
The few nodded slightly, acknowledging this explanation, as it sufficiently explained why the Demonic Way strong figures hadn’t acted yet.
“Send the order, eliminate all creatures tainted by demonic energy, and destroy all demon artifacts.” An icy and ruthless voice issued from the Fire Emperor’s mouth; now, only by sweeping away the demonic infection from the Divine Island with thunderous measures would he have no choice. He saw islands being destroyed, rivers of blood flowing.
In truth, if not for considering the Green King and the Undying Flame King, he would have directly suppressed the fallen human race strong figures, at least restricting them somewhat, especially when even Fuxi’s Zither couldn’t cleanse their demonic energy. This posed a huge threat.
Moreover, regardless of these strong figures’ motives, whether their fall was voluntary or involuntary, their crimes against the descendants of the Five Emperors were undeniable, marking them as criminals destined to face punishment.
Now, although they have leveled the Dragon Burying Abyss, eliminated the demonic altar, suppressed many fallen human race strong figures, it doesn’t mean they can rest completely assured.
Leaving other matters aside, there are still quite a few fallen strong figures lurking in the current sea regions, not truly inside the Dragon Burying Abyss.
Though these figures might be insignificant to the top overlords like the Fire Emperor and his allies, they pose significant threats to other overseas ancient clans. Even some ordinary supreme overlords cannot withstand them.
Thus, apart from cleansing the demonic lair in the Dragon Burying Abyss, they must swiftly send forces to seek the trails of those fallen strong figures, restoring peace to the sea.
Post this endeavor, the Fire Emperor can consolidate the power of the overseas ancient clans, commencing expansion on the continent.
You should know, although he dwells overseas, he remains incredibly informed of the movements of various forces on the mainland. The Great Ming Divine Dynasty endlessly battles across the realm, destroying sects and imperial kingdoms countless times. If not for the Witch Deity Teaching supporting the Great Yu Kingdom’s attack on the North Territory bothering the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, perhaps their momentum would be even more awe-inspiring.
However, the fate of the Witch Deity Teaching is no blessing to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, nor to the Five Divine Dynasties for that matter. The grudges between them have spanned countless years; the Witch Deity Teaching would never cooperate with them now.
Thus, the Fire Emperor feels no sense of triumphant joy after this victory, but rather greater pressure, time pressing imperatively.
Now, as the Fire Emperor eagerly prepares to return to the mainland, within the depths of the Chaos Void, two formidable auras intertwine, one shining with the glare of Li Fire, enveloped in fiery red light forming a sea of flames, with the Li Fire Taoist standing quietly in its midst, wielding a Li Fire Divine Banner amidst cold killing intent, the Divine Light shimmering, circulating on him.
Before him stood the Fire Virtue Star Lord, clad in human face and snake body, walking in the Ancestral Witch form, expressionless, seemingly in contemplation, only the ceaseless quickening of his eyes revealing his inner disquiet.
“Li Fire, should you choose to ally with this emperor now, you might still have a shot at survival, even progress further alongside this emperor could be possible; this is your last chance.” The Fire Virtue Star Lord stood with arms folded, dismissively regarding the Li Fire Taoist before him.
Dominance was unmistakably evident in him; after merging with the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, the Fire Virtue Star Lord’s aura greatly intensified, leaving others guessing.
“With just you? Even if you have fused with the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, you cannot withstand me; today I will utterly seize your Taoist Fruit, that is my sole chance, my fortune. Li Fire Divine Banner, cutting gods, vanquishing demons, where the banner points, fire engulfs the universe.” The Li Fire Taoist’s mouth curled into a disdainful cold smile, shaking the Divine Banner in his hand, transforming into a Heavenly Slash Sword forged in flames, striking towards the Fire Virtue Star Lord.
In the eyes of the Li Fire Taoist, the Fire Virtue Star Lord now stood at an absolute disadvantage, making it the perfect moment to suppress and seize authority.
