The Abyssal Emperor's entire body was covered with the ghostly shadows of a phantom roar.
It was as though he had gathered tens of thousands of resentful souls within him.
In fact, the might of more than seventy Abyss Great Emperors far surpassed that of countless resentful souls.
Moreover, these Emperors and the Abyssal Emperor came from the same origin and were instantly merged, as if they had filled in all of the Abyssal Emperor's flaws.
All the wounds on his colossal body healed in an instant.
His aura was chaotic, yet it surged violently and unceasingly.
His blood-red eyes exuded endless bloodthirst and madness.
"Humans."
"You've played all your cards."
"I've seen through you long ago; now what do you have to fight me with!"
"Roar!"
While speaking, the Abyssal Emperor roared towards the heavens.
The soundwaves spread in waves.
Powerful cultivators of the Yan Huang Alliance staggered as if they were about to collapse, dizzy and nauseous.
Those with weaker cultivation fell to their knees, some even collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Their eyes were filled with fear.
For compared to the Abyssal Emperor from before, his power had not just expanded tenfold; it was as if he was a completely different person.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Luo Yu's eyes remained calm, his lips curling into a mocking smile.
"Heh."
"Indeed, what a clever trick."
"A bunch of subordinates who have followed you through countless battles, eaten just like that."
The Abyssal Emperor revealed a sinister smile.
"So what, they are devoted to me, isn't this what they desire, to fuse with this Emperor?"
"I only regret that there are not enough subordinates to satiate my hunger."
"After I destroy you, both Soul Land and the abyss shall fall under my control; all sacrifices are worthwhile."
Luo Yu nodded, laughing, "To couch selfishness in such nobility, no wonder you're not human."
The Abyssal Emperor coldly said, "Still oblivious at the brink of death?"
Luo Yu casually cleaned his ears, an expression of impatience on his face.
"You've said that too many times; my ears are about to develop calluses."
"I assure you, this will be the last time."
"Roar!"
Just how powerful was the Abyssal Emperor merged with the Origin Power of over seventy Emperors? With a soft roar, the very color of the sky and earth changed.
A violent wind arose from nowhere.
"Heh."
"No matter how many tricks you have, you are nothing more than a clown."
Luo Yu shook his head repeatedly, and then his gaze intensified.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of metal resounded.
His head, limbs, torso, chest, and shoulder blades all erupted with dazzling brilliance.
Nine brilliant lights burst forth.
Within them, it seemed as though nine dragon roars resonated, and with a bang, the power of nine elemental forces wildly converged towards Luo Yu.
Brilliant light and formidable presence swept over the world.
The Abyssal Emperor's pupils contracted.
"How is this possible!"
"You still have hidden cards to play at this point in the battle?"
"Crash!"
An earth-shattering force, as if mountains were collapsing and seas were inverting, erupted.
Luo Yu donned the Nine-colored Dragon King Armor, magnificently splendid.
It was as ornate as a garment of pearls and agate, yet it seemed as indestructible as iron from the heavens.
All onlookers were unsure if they were witnessing an illusion.
At every armored section of Luo Yu's body, it seemed as if a miniature dragon shadow was roaming, and as the dragon shadows traveled, the armor glowed ever brighter, radiating with an indestructible divine light.
"This… this…"
Watching Luo Yu's aura soar after being clad in the armor, the Abyssal Emperor's pupils abruptly narrowed.
Luo Yu clenched his fist.
Suddenly the sky erupted, creating countless explosions that instantly dispersed all the dark mists.
```
The divine light was endowed upon him, his might unparalleled.
He regarded the Abyssal Emperor with a cold gaze, as if he were looking at an inanimate object.
"No matter that you have fused with an abyssal creature," he said.
"I alone—"
"shall represent all living beings in cutting you down."
"You're full of shit!"
The Abyssal Emperor's blood-red eyes filled with madness as the spirits writhing inside him let out bursts of shrieks and howls.
He took the initiative to strike first, conjuring a massive purple-black crescent moon before him, emanating a sinister and destructive aura.
The entire Western Coast began to shake.
"Today, either you die, or I perish!"
"Boom!"
The Abyssal Emperor struck decisively, while Luo Yu, in his Nine-colored Dragon King Armor, had his combat strength pushed to the apex.
His vigor was unmatched, his confidence sky-high.
Facing the world-destroying purple moon, he did not dodge or avoid it but swung his divine fist, charging head-on.
Nine-colored radiance slashed through the sky like a dazzling comet.
Carrying the explosive force of qi and blood, his punch landed squarely!
"Crash!"
The sky shattered like a mirror into countless fissures, with the power of different dimensions leaking from the cracks.
The Abyssal Emperor's climactic strike was instantaneously obliterated.
The members of the Yan Huang Alliance in the distance were invigorated, clenching their fists; had they not feared the aftershocks and were anxious about being caught in them,
they would have cheered already.
Luo Yu broke through the purple moon, his momentum unstoppable as he advanced forward.
He threw a punch.
It pierced directly through the Abyssal Emperor's thousand-zhang-tall body.
The giant body exploded on the spot, turning into countless fragments that shot in all directions.
The Human Alliance Army cheered one after another.
But Luo Yu let out a cry of surprise.
He flicked his fingers in front of his eyes, and a dazzling Amethyst Gold light flashed, as the Creation God Pupil meticulously scouted the area.
All the shadows of the surroundings had nowhere to hide.
He saw a scaled-down phantom of the Abyssal Emperor, slipping into a spatial rift with the speed of lightning.
It reached the other side of the rift.
"Fleeing before the battle?"
"Where do you think you're going!"
Luo Yu's figure blurred, the spatial power gathered, and he disappeared from where he was, chasing after him.
From afar, he and the Abyssal Emperor exchanged blows across the spatial divide.
This move, however, ended in a draw, with no clear winner or loser.
"Heh heh."
Standing on the other side of the spatial rift, the Abyssal Emperor sneered back at Luo Yu.
"Human, I've not yet fully absorbed the Origin Power of the Great Emperors. Seeing you possess such a trump card, why would I hardheadedly engage in a fight to the death with you?"
"Do you really think I am witless?"
Luo Yu's expression turned ugly.
This guy, after seeing his Nine-colored Dragon King Armor, had no intention of fighting him but was bent on escaping back to the abyssal plane.
This being hidden within the abyss, Luo Yu indeed did not dare to rashly pursue him.
Within the enemy's domain, there was no telling what tricks awaited him.
When the Abyssal Emperor saw that Luo Yu didn't come after him as he had anticipated, he felt a profound sense of regret.
"Haha, you humans really are somewhat cunning."
"Should you dare to battle in the abyss, I, the Emperor, would have my combat strength multiplied by dozens of times in the abyssal plane; how could you possibly be my match."
The stars in Luo Yu's eyes grew cold.
"A little mouse can never ascend to the grand stage, only daring to cower in dark corners."
The Abyssal Emperor, feeling incensed, clenched his teeth in anger, understanding Luo Yu's insinuation.
"Human, don't be smug."
"This time, I have learned all of your cards. I believe you have no other tricks up your sleeve."
"Soon, I will have absorbed the Origin Power of all the Great Emperors, and even fused with all the energy of the abyssal plane."
"When that time comes, the entire Soul Land will belong to this Emperor."
"And what awaits you will be nothing but the despair of my invincible might!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Luo Yu lifted his eyebrows when he heard of the Abyssal Emperor's intention to return with a vengeance.
