Chapter 856 - - 591 Maximizing Benefits

—————✧✧✧✧—————

The balance of power was unequal, and the tug-of-war could not last long, once a winner was determined, the rope would disappear.

Apart from the Immortal Emperor still being forcefully controlled by Zhang Desheng’s “Your eyes only have me,” watching him affectionately, pulling and tugging on a rope like flirtation, unable to muster much strength in their soft and gentle struggle.

The others almost instantly determined the outcome of their battles.

The Water Official Great Emperor and the Earth Official Great Emperor rushed towards Zhang Desheng to rescue the Immortal Emperor.

Xuan Zhen and Dang Mo, the two Heavenly Venerables, launched their attack on Ning Xianping…

They were veteran Daluo Golden Immortals, reaching Ning Xianping in an instant.

But Ning Xianping wasn’t even a Nascent Soul, how could his reactions possibly match up to two Heavenly Venerables? Seeing the Heavenly Venerables suddenly appear beside him, he was completely terrified.

Duge reacted even faster, as soon as the two Heavenly Venerables made their move, he also blinked to Ning Xianping’s side, pulling him with Divine Power to dodge the attack.

With another blink, he sent him to the side of Gao Ming and others, and also sent Qi Wei and the trio, Che Shouchun and Fu Qiao.

Grouping them together for protection was more convenient, and their skills could complement each other’s.

As for Zhang Desheng, Duge believed that the Underworld Emperor would protect him.

As expected.

Duge turned around just in time to see the Water Official and the Earth Official Great Emperors being flung away by the Underworld Emperor.

As they were flung away, a rope appeared, forcing them to begin a new round of tug-of-war, pinning them in the air.

Being sent flying allowed them to dissipate some force and avoid serious injury, but the sudden rope forcefully interrupted their dissipation of force.

The moment they stopped, both Great Emperors spat out a mouthful of blood almost simultaneously.

In the next instant, Flawless White Jade’s skill fell upon them, forcing the two Great Emperors to reluctantly use the Dust Removal Skill…

The two exchanged glances, looking at the chaotic battlefield, feeling an unprecedented despair.

They had not previously taken those Alien Warriors seriously, considering their abilities mere parlor tricks. But now it was precisely these “parlor tricks” that had turned the tide of a battle that they had been dominating.

Especially the Immortal Emperor, who as a Quasi-Saint was making deep and meaningful eye contact with a middle-aged man while surrounded by formidable enemies, their gaze pulling at each other.

If word got out, the Immortal Emperor would likely become a laughing stock…

Everyone knew that if they could deal with those Alien Warriors, they could turn the tide of the battle once again.

But who could instantly kill Alien Warriors under the protection of the Underworld Emperor and the Human Emperor?

Not even the Immortal Emperor had such ability.

What on earth was the Daoist Ancestor doing?

Was he trying to drag the Immortal Court into the abyss?

…

With no one controlling the Taixuan Emperor, he began a new round of slaughter, heaps of desiccated corpses fell rapidly, chilling the hearts of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, who, in that moment, began to contemplate retreat.

While the Heavenly Venerables were controlled by skills, they were frantic and helpless.

Seeing the Heavenly Soldiers fall in heaps, Duge felt waves of heartache - those were his power banks; he couldn’t let the Taixuan Emperor have them all to himself!

He was counting on the power of these Heavenly Soldiers to push his strength higher!

“Taixuan Emperor, if you continue to kill, you’ll become lost in power and driven mad by it,” Duge said, careful not to blatantly state that he saw the Heavenly Soldiers as power banks, instead he focused on the Taixuan Emperor, “Blood Law isn’t about blindly accumulating power; it requires the combination of state of mind and enlightenment to reach sainthood. If you keep killing indiscriminately, your state of mind will eventually be dominated by power, and you will become the next Blood Ancestor, completely missing out on sainthood.

These foot soldiers are innocent; they also can’t help themselves. Moreover, absorbing the qi and blood of a hundred thousand foot soldiers is not as effective as consuming one Heavenly Venerable. Instead, whoever dares to strike us again, they are our enemies, and you can consume their qi and blood,” Duge suggested.

“…” The Taixuan Emperor stopped, relishing the pleasure of his rising strength, but aware of the Immortal Emperor’s fate, he dared not make an enemy of Duge at this time.

Angering Duge would render high strength useless; he too was waiting for Duge to reach sainthood.

Without high-end combat power to restrain the Taixuan Emperor, the ordinary Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were simply not strong enough. Influenced by Tirelessly Ruinous, many Heavenly Soldiers stopped their attacks immediately.

To hell with the Immortal Emperor, their lives were at stake. They had cultivated for thousands of years, not to become someone’s nourishment…

As a chain reaction ensued, an eerie calm fell upon the battlefield.

Heavenly Soldiers ceased their assault, while the Taixuan Emperor’s gaze shifted to the Heavenly Venerables, who had just finished their tug-of-war.

The Heavenly Venerables, having determined the outcome of their tug-of-war, glared at Duge, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

But they lacked the ability to break through Duge’s protection and kill Gao Ming and the others.

Thus, their rebellion became futile.

Again and again, they fell into awkward assaults, tug-of-war, and even began to lash out at one another in curious bouts of combat.

Yin Kaiyun’s keyword was hate, having awakened a keyword called Eye for an Eye. As long as there was a past grievance between two individuals within his range, he could make them involuntarily seek revenge upon each other;

After the revenge, they would regain brief clarity…

In summary.

When the Alien Warriors were protected and placed in an invincible position, they could make creative use of their skills, and the Heavenly Venerables and Great Emperors had never fought such frustrating battles.

One after another, they were tormented to the point of desiring death and suffering unbearable pain…

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, Feng Chang, who was possessed by an incarnation of the Daoist Ancestor, was even more resolute in his decision to leave the planet and enter the Pan-Universe Entertainment.

He fully understood why Duge was so fixated on planning Pan-Universe Entertainment; if they could unravel the mystery of the keywords and grasp these principles, they truly might be able to transcend…
