Chapter 2731: Eight Emperors Battle Devourer of Heaven

Chapter 2731: Chapter 2731: Eight Emperors Battle Devourer of Heaven

The array broken, Fang Bai and the other Immortal Emperors were overjoyed. Their gazes, sharp as lightning, looked toward the abyss’s depths, revealing an enormous underground Demon City with demon palaces standing majestically.

However, within this massive Demon City, it was similarly empty, with no sign of any Demon Clan experts.

"As expected, those million Demon Clan experts who once followed the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor didn’t want to become sacrifices in his cultivation. They’ve all fled."

Recalling the words from the Demon Clan expert captured earlier by the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, Fang Bai and the other eight Immortal Emperors felt a wave of relief.

Without the support of a million Demon Clan experts, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was alone. As long as he hadn’t yet reached the Great Emperor Level, he would not be a match for Fang Bai and the eight Immortal Emperors.

"Let’s go!"

Fang Bai let out a soft yell, and together with the Great Luo Immortal Emperor and the other seven Immortal Emperors, descended to hover above the underground Demon City.

The eight Immortal Emperors diffused their Divine Senses to locate the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, ready to strike him with a thunderous blow and kill him upon discovering his whereabouts.

"Over there!"

Fang Bai suddenly pointed toward a central demon palace within the underground Demon City.

This palace was extremely grand, surrounded by an invisible Qi Shield that, in Fang Bai’s eyes, appeared as a highly formidable Defensive Array, surpassing even the array he had just broken.

Thus, it was deduced that this palace was indeed the residence of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, set with such a remarkable Defensive Array to ensure his safety.

Fang Bai and the other Immortal Emperors couldn’t infiltrate the array with their Divine Senses, leaving the exact activities or presence of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor within the palace unknown.

The eight Immortal Emperors formed an Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation, gradually tightening their approach toward the palace.

The power of the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation created by the eight Immortal Emperors was immense. If the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor truly resided within the palace, escaping from the formation would be nigh impossible.

In the Array Path, mastering one method equates to mastering a hundred.

With prior experience breaking the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s arrays, Fang Bai found this attempt significantly more manageable.

A hundred breaths later, the Defensive Array shielding the palace disappeared under the impact of array runes continuously conjured by Fang Bai’s hands.

The grand demon palace, suspected to be the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s residence, appeared defenseless beneath the gazes of Fang Bai and the eight Immortal Emperors.

In the next moment, the eight Immortal Emperors, led by Fang Bai, all sensed the aura of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor inside the palace.

Their Divine Senses immediately penetrated the palace, revealing a scene that shocked them all.

Within the palace, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor sat cross-legged, surrounded by dense Demonic Qi. The aura emanating from him was extremely terrifying, causing everyone except Fang Bai, including the Great Luo Immortal Emperor, to involuntarily shiver.

Blood trickled from the corner of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s mouth, carrying strands of Immortal Emperor aura.

And surrounding the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor lay six corpses.

Upon examining them with Divine Senses, Fang Bai and the eight Immortal Emperors recognized the six bodies as the Myriad Sword Immortal Emperor, Dragon Taming Emperor, Red Lotus Immortal Emperor, Qingtian Immortal Emperor, Thunder Immortal Emperor, and Ice River Empress.

These six top Immortal Emperors, at this moment, had lost all vitality and life force, completely fallen.

Their bodies were pale and dried up, with not a drop of blood remaining inside them.

Clearly, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was responsible, having absorbed the blood of the six top Immortal Emperors, closing himself off for cultivation, preparing to reach the Great Emperor Realm.

Judging by the terrifyingly fierce aura emanating from him, he was very close to successfully reaching the Great Emperor Realm.

Ever since Fang Bai returned to the Immortal Realm, he had longed to personally kill the eight top Immortal Emperors as revenge for himself and the disciples of Emperor’s Palace. Yet he couldn’t fathom six of those top Immortal Emperors perished at the hand of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.

Moreover, the now-corrupted Golden Crow Demon Emperor and Flying Swan Demon Emperor were currently missing, having also cultivated the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s technique, posing latent hidden threats to Fang Bai.

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor seemed aware of the presence of Fang Bai and the eight Immortal Emperors, accelerating his advancement toward the Great Emperor Realm.

"Attack!"

Fang Bai knew that if they delayed any longer, they might lose this crucial opportunity; he roared loudly, summoning the Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and, alongside Emperor’s Instruments summoned by the other seven Immortal Emperors, launched it toward the palace.

With assistance from the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation and Emperor’s Instruments, they exerted their utmost power, aiming for a single lethal strike to obliterate the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.

"Boom!"

One Divine Artifact and seven Emperor’s Instruments, with lightning strike force, smashed into the palace, instantly shattering it.

The momentum of the eight Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Instruments remained unabated, continuing toward the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.

"Ah!"

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and roared, swinging his left hand violently.

His left thumb adorned with a Spatial Demon Ring flickered, releasing two figures to intercept the eight Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Instruments.

"It’s them! Unbelievable, former top Immortal Emperors transformed into Puppet Corpses!"

Fang Bai’s sharp eyes identified the figures emerging from the Spatial Demon Ring as none other than the Golden Crow Demon Emperor and Flying Swan Demon Emperor, but now devoid of consciousness and vitality, reduced to lifeless Emperor Realm Puppet Corpses.

Fang Bai wasn’t expecting the long-missing Golden Crow Demon Emperor and Flying Swan Demon Emperor to fall into the hands of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, transformed into Puppet Corpses, a fate worse than death by blood siphoning endured by the six top Immortal Emperors.

Though formidable, Puppet Corpses were no match for the eight Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Instruments.

With two explosive sounds, the bodies of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor and Flying Swan Demon Emperor were ground to dust by the impact of eight Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Instruments.

Meanwhile, exploiting the temporary obstruction of the eight Divine Artifacts and Emperor’s Instruments, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor surged into the sky with unstoppable force, breaking through the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation formed by Fang Bai and the eight Immortal Emperors, fleeing toward the abyss’s exterior.

Fang Bai was shocked to see the Eight Desolations Qiankun Formation fail to restrain the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, who smashed through it effortlessly, realizing his power exceeded his expectations.

If given time, he might successfully break through and ascend to the Great Emperor realm.

"Pursue!"

Fang Bai shouted, ignoring the seven other Immortal Emperors, immediately pursuing the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor on his own.

His full-speed pursuit used a movement technique superior to the other seven Immortal Emperors, quickly leaving the Great Luo Immortal Emperor and others far behind.

The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor emerged from the abyss, hovering in the void, casting Fang Bai a disdainful glance before tearing open the void, and vanishing within.

Fang Bai understood the meaning behind the disdainful gaze from the Heaven Devouring Great God: "You can no longer prevent me from becoming a Great Emperor realm expert; once I achieve this, your death is inevitable."
