Kapitel 225: Chapter 233: The Flutter of the Sparrow Appears!
Void Swallowing Flame remained silent, sensing the avarice in the other's eyes, he ultimately restrained his impulse to act.
At this moment, Soul Heavenly Emperor was far too dangerous; he was not a match. Moreover, if Soul Heavenly Emperor fell, given the current circumstances, his fate wouldn't be much better.
If Soul Heavenly Emperor won, he might still have a glimmer of hope!
Seeing this, Soul Heavenly Emperor smiled, then manipulated the grand array, swiftly devouring the blood and energy of the strong ones in Central Plains and the Soul Clan, even absorbing the energy of the fallen strong ones from the Fire Evil Clan in the Dou Qi Continent.
In the vast sea of blood, endless energy surged towards Soul Heavenly Emperor. Within the churning sea of blood, a vortex emerged, and then a giant blood-colored lotus slowly ascended from it.
On the blood lotus, Soul Heavenly Emperor sat cross-legged, his blood-red hair cascading like a waterfall, some even falling into the blood sea, floating on its surface like a demon spreading its wings.
His power expanded rapidly in a short period, and at one moment, divine light flashed in his eyes, causing waves to rise in the sea of blood.
"What intoxicating power..."
A slight murmur escaped his lips. The next instant, an aura as if reigning above heaven and earth erupted from his body. Immediately, the endless sea of blood surged with terrifying waves.
"Soul Heavenly Emperor has succeeded!"
Feeling that vast aura as if above heaven and earth, Gu Yuan and the others finally showed expressions of horror. For the first time, they felt an aura that made their souls tremble.
That aura belonged only to a Dou Di (Battle Emperor)!
Void Swallowing Flame's eyes flashed, completely suppressing his inner thoughts.
Simultaneously, a voice filled with an endless taste of blood resounded across Central Plains.
"Today marks the day I, Soul Heavenly Emperor, ascend to the emperor's throne!"
"Hahaha, the last thing you should have done is allow me to become an emperor. The Dou Qi Continent is my domain, and I won't allow it to be invaded by you foreign clans!"
Soul Heavenly Emperor's gaze swept across Gu Yuan and the others, finally landing on Fire Evil Demon Emperor. A demonic smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, I've waited for you, but it seems you've only broken through to the quasi-Heavenly Supreme realm. It's rather disappointing," Fire Evil Demon Emperor shook his head disappointedly as he sensed Soul Heavenly Emperor's gaze.
"What do you mean? Heavenly Supreme? Quasi-Heavenly Supreme?" Soul Heavenly Emperor's heart sank, feeling uneasy, he asked the other in a deep voice.
"It seems you don't know!" Fire Evil Demon Emperor smiled enigmatically, then explained as Soul Heavenly Emperor grew increasingly restless: "The Heavenly Supreme of the Great Thousand World is equivalent to my clan's Demon Emperor. As for the Dou Di you mentioned, I thought it was the same as a Heavenly Supreme, but it turns out it's just a quasi-Heavenly Supreme, possessing only a sliver of a Heavenly Supreme's power, far from being a true Heavenly Supreme!"
"So that's how it is, but isn't that better for you?"
The crowd listened intently to this information about the upper realm, while Soul Heavenly Emperor looked puzzled at Fire Evil Demon Emperor.
"Don't you understand?" Fire Evil Demon Emperor shook his head, "I've been stuck at the Nether Demon Emperor stage for many years. If I had the blood of a Heavenly Supreme as nourishment, I could break through to the Profound Demon Emperor stage. It's rare to find a Heavenly Supreme even in the Great Thousand World; who would've thought an opportunity would arise in the lower plane? Unfortunately, you're still lacking a bit."
Hearing Fire Evil Demon Emperor's words, treating him like a mere source of blood, the anger in Soul Heavenly Emperor's heart was completely ignited.
"You're seeking death—"
"Blood Emperor Body—"
With a long roar from Soul Heavenly Emperor, the sky full of blood lightning weakened. Amidst countless fearful gazes, Soul Heavenly Emperor opened his mouth, and an immense suction force erupted. The blood clouds covering the skies of Central Plains turned into blood light, rushing into his mouth.
The thick blood clouds, accumulated from countless beings' blood, were swallowed in an instant!
As the blood clouds were consumed, warm sunlight poured down. Many were excited, realizing the preciousness of ordinary things only when faced with doomsday.
Of course, there was no time for celebration as the battle in the sky would determine the fate of the Dou Qi Continent.
"Crack!"
As Soul Heavenly Emperor swallowed the vast blood clouds, his body expanded rapidly, transforming into a colossal blood-colored giant, towering several thousands of feet. Blood light quickly converged on his body, forming a layer of blood-colored armor, enveloping his immense figure.
The blood-colored giant stood between heaven and earth, covering the entire sky. In such a terrifying sight, no one doubted that a single punch from Soul Heavenly Emperor could turn the land within thousands of miles into an abyss!
"Today, I will let you taste the power of my Blood Emperor Body!"
Soul Heavenly Emperor's gigantic blood eyes fixed on Fire Evil Demon Emperor. When he breathed in and out, wind and thunder surged, and the heaven and earth energy in Central Plains fluctuated massively.
"Is this the legendary Dou Di Body?"
The strong ones from the Dou Qi Continent's ancient clans watched the towering Soul Heavenly Emperor, their expressions drastically changing.
Ancient clans naturally had records of the Dou Di. A Dou Di could contain the universe within their body, becoming one with the heavens, shattering the sky with a mere gesture, possessing terrifying power!
This colossal body wasn't formed by energy but was a real, physical body. Imagine a body spanning thousands upon thousands of feet, how terrifying would that be?
This ability was called the Dou Di Body because only those who reached the Dou Di level could use it.
"Supreme Dharma Body?"
In contrast, Fire Evil Demon Emperor's face remained calm, with a deep mockery in his eyes as he saw Soul Heavenly Emperor's Blood Emperor Body.
"Just a rudimentary Supreme Dharma Body, and you think you can block me?"
Fire Evil Demon Emperor stretched out his finger, shooting a blood light which transformed into a blood-red giant python. The python, sinister and fierce, swallowed spatial fragments, diving towards Soul Heavenly Emperor.
Seeing the incoming blood-red python, Soul Heavenly Emperor extended his palm, concentrating blood light. His already gigantic palm grew even larger, slapping downwards to clash with the python.
Boom!
A wild storm raged in the sky, like a wind of destruction, darkening the heavens wherever it passed.
Roar!
Amidst the storm, the blood-red python roared angrily, its massive body flying backward. However, Soul Heavenly Emperor also staggered, a blood scar running through his entire arm.
He stumbled, retreating violently, finally landing hard, crushing distant mountains to ashes.
"Even a Dou Di is no match for that Demon Emperor?"
Witnessing Soul Heavenly Emperor's defeat, people of the Dou Qi Continent were dismayed. No matter their thoughts, they couldn't deny that Soul Heavenly Emperor was their last hope.
They couldn't imagine the consequences if Fire Evil Demon Emperor won.
Boom!
"How is this possible? I've become a Dou Di; I should be invincible. How can I not be a match for a mere shadow of yours?"
As they panicked, a huge figure rose again from the abyss, looking battered yet defiant at Fire Evil Demon Emperor.
As his voice fell, he opened his mouth, unleashing a terrifying suction force, turning it into a black hole, absorbing heaven and earth.
That force primarily acted on Soul Heavenly Emperor's Dou Di Body, shocking him as he found the vast energy within his Dou Di Body being slowly siphoned, despite his efforts to resist, by Fire Evil Demon Emperor.
As the energy flowed in, Fire Evil Demon Emperor's figure solidified gradually, emanating an increasingly terrifying aura.
"Damn it—"
Enraged, Soul Heavenly Emperor slashed his blade towards the Central Plains.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Endless blood spilled, greedily devoured by the blade's phantom, countless innocent lives returning to silence under this slash.
"Soul Heavenly Emperor!!!" Furious roars echoed.
Yet Soul Heavenly Emperor's expression remained cold, unmoved, while Zi Yan and others, despite feeling some pity, watched coldly. They weren't naive newcomers; in the cultivation world, being soft-hearted meant doom.
Bang!
The weak's angry roars didn't stop Soul Heavenly Emperor. As the blade phantom returned to the body, the immense blood blade erupted in brilliant blood light.
Buzz!
With a surge of blood, the blade of the Emperor's Slayer Ghost Blood Blade began to shake uncontrollably, ready to break free at any moment.
High above, Fire Evil Demon Emperor looked at the changing Soul Heavenly Emperor, a glint of excitement flashing in his blood-red eyes before he smiled coldly. "Finally getting interesting."
"Hahaha, today is the day I become an emperor. How could I lose? I will make the Soul Clan famous in the upper realms. You won't stop me!" Soul Heavenly Emperor laughed madly, draped in his blood robe.
"Kill—"
With a roar, Soul Heavenly Emperor charged at Fire Evil Demon Emperor with his Emperor Slayer Ghost Blood Blade.
Fire Evil Demon Emperor, watching the charging Soul Heavenly Emperor, took a deep breath, bringing his hands together. His voice, cold as a god of destruction, echoed through the world.
"Blood Fiend Flame Thunder!"
Boom!
Thunder roared as innumerable bolts of lightning and fire descended from the sky, converging on Soul Heavenly Emperor.
Each bolt carried a destructive power, making the earth tremble.
Soul Heavenly Emperor, seeing this, didn't dare to slack. With a shout, he slashed his blade, one strike after another, countering the blood-red lightning.
Rumble—
The terrifying energy fluctuations from the sky forced Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and others to retreat, gradually moving away from the Central Plains' domain.
Despite keeping their distance, they felt a burning sensation on their exposed skin.
They watched the sky with awe, while unnoticed, Xiao Yan quietly sat cross-legged on a cliff, surrounded by countless light spots that emerged from the void, enveloping him.
Engulfed by the light spots, his consciousness soared into the endless void under the support of the chaotic light.
Chaotic light continuously poured into him, making his aura rise at an incredible speed, even more rapidly than Soul Heavenly Emperor.
Boom!
In the sky, two blood lights collided madly, creating a scene of dual suns.
Slowly, the blood light receded, revealing the center of the battle.
Soul Heavenly Emperor stood silently with his Emperor Slayer Blade, a long blood scar on his chest, almost tearing him apart.
"How... how can this be..."
Feeling the weakness swelling from within, Soul Heavenly Emperor muttered in despair, unable to fight anymore.
"Weakling, you're the weakest quasi-Heavenly Supreme I've ever seen. Well, since I've had my fun, I'll send you to your death!"
Fire Evil Demon Emperor, only slightly dimmer than before, looked at Soul Heavenly Emperor with disappointment.
In an instant, his disappointment was replaced by a bone-chilling killing intent.
"You want to kill me? I won't sit back and die!"
The killing intent snapped Soul Heavenly Emperor back to reality. He gave Fire Evil Demon Emperor a deep look before turning into a blood light, fleeing towards the horizon.
"Heh, how could I let such a rare bounty escape..." Fire Evil Demon Emperor smiled eerily as he watched Soul Heavenly Emperor retreat.
Boom—
Before he could act, the world's forces began to tremble, and an immense black light formation appeared, encompassing everyone, even covering most of the Dou Qi Continent.
A familiar sight that evoked dread in survivors—hadn't Soul Heavenly Emperor used such a formation to slaughter countless lives and seal his emperor's fate?
"Who is it..."
Survivors looked around warily, even Soul Heavenly Emperor halted, realizing the formation was so vast it covered the whole Eastern and Northern territories, almost half of the Dou Qi Continent.
"Interesting, interesting."
