Chapter 857 - - 591 Maximizing Benefits_2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

…

Watching the Immortal Emperor and Zhang Desheng gaze lovingly at each other, the Underworld Emperor once again condensed a sword of Yin energy, attempting to kill the Immortal Emperor to completely end this calamity and make the Immortal Emperor’s spiritual energy nourish the heavens and earth, thereby resolving the Twilight Calamity.

But just as he was about to act, he was persuaded by Duge to pause, “Underworld Emperor, hold on!”

“Human Emperor, once the Immortal Emperor escapes captivity, the calamity will be endless,” the Underworld Emperor said with a frown.

“Underworld Emperor, I too have cultivated the Blood Law, and the vast blood qi of the Immortal Emperor is a great supplement for me,” Duge admitted, “The Innate wood can replenish the spiritual power of the Heavenly Soldiers, we should extract every last bit of value from him…”

Harassing the Immortal Emperor like this, their hatred was already irreconcilable, Duge naturally wouldn’t leave such a huge risk hanging over his head.

Moreover, the Immortal Emperor was already at the pinnacle of the world, and Tirelessly Ruinous’ instigation against him was pointless; could it possibly tempt the Immortal Emperor’s evil thoughts to make him turn against the Daoist Ancestor?

Quasi-Saints were already so difficult to deal with, and if they managed to enrage the Daoist Ancestor, who knew what he could do if he became immune to skills?

Taixuan Emperor also turned his gaze to the Immortal Emperor, instinctively licked his lips, wanting to devour his blood qi—he didn’t even dare to think about it. No wonder Duge looked down on those Heavenly Soldiers and Generals; his appetite was too large, he was truly the Evil Demon!

Yet even knowing the Immortal Emperor was a great supplement, the Taixuan Emperor dared not compete with Duge.

He feared provoking Duge and becoming supplement himself.

His relationship with Duge wasn’t that solid; he’d be content if he could absorb one or two Heavenly Venerables.

…

Hiss!

Water Official Great Emperor and others sharply inhaled.

The Water Official Great Emperor angrily said, “Scoundrel, how dare you, all you Heavenly Generals…”

His words were cut off halfway by Yin Erchuan, who wouldn’t let these fellows ruin the situation Duge had barely managed to control.

He was Duge’s old partner, and their cooperation was very tacit.

Water Official Great Emperor had only uttered a few words, but many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals understood his intention.

The intention was to continue the attack, to help the Immortal Emperor escape the siege. But Duge had just managed to halt the Taixuan Emperor; agitating him now was tantamount to seeking death, wasn’t it?

Since he didn’t issue a complete command, the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were happy to play dumb; if Duge truly killed the Immortal Emperor, they too would be relieved.

…

No sooner said than done.

Duge flashed to the Immortal Emperor’s side and launched the Blood Law without hesitation.

Perhaps it was because of the protection by the five Dragon Veins of the Human Race, maybe it was Duge’s own power of merit, or possibly because Duge harbored no killing intent when he attacked, but his devouring of the Immortal Emperor’s blood qi did not provoke any backlash from the Innate wood.

The vigorous blood qi surged into his meridians, and Duge’s power climbed higher once again.

While training in the Netherworld with the “Heavenly Path Netherworld Skill” to strengthen his divine soul, Gao Ming’s skills helped him replenish spiritual power, and the Blood Law fortified his body.

In this battle, Duge’s weaknesses were one by one compensated for; the Daoist Rhyme about Art Technique was slowly self-repairing.

As the blood qi drained, the Immortal Emperor’s complexion gradually whitened, yet he still remained in an agitated and confused state, oblivious to his own situation.

Feeling Duge growing stronger, the Taixuan Emperor involuntarily pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to the Water Official Great Emperor, who was intermittently pulling at the rope, a mass of blood qi enveloping him.

“Scoundrel, how dare you!” shouted the Water Official Great Emperor in rage as he broke free from the rope, quickly manipulating weak water to counterattack, but the weak water no longer obeyed his command.

Having no choice but to dodge swiftly, fortunately, the Earth Official Great Emperor made a timely intervention to block the Taixuan Emperor.

But it only lasted for a moment; soon, the two were connected by a rope again.

The Taixuan Emperor’s blood qi swept across their bodies, instantly stealing a great deal of their blood qi…

In a master’s struggle, a tiny difference might determine the outcome; even though their combined strength far surpassed that of the Taixuan Emperor, being intermittently tethered was counterproductive no matter how strong they were.

In an instant.

The same thought emerged in the minds of both Great Emperors, ‘Our lives are over!’

Just at that moment.

A stern shout came from the sky, “Scoundrel, how dare you!”

Following the voice, a gust of wind blew down from the heavens, quickly enveloping every corner of the battlefield.

Taken by surprise.

Everyone on the battlefield was blown around helter-skelter.

Even the rapidly empowered Duge couldn’t maintain his footing, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to use the weak water to protect Gao Ming and others as the storm struck.

Even though Zhang Desheng was shielded, he still staggered, his gaze leaving the Immortal Emperor.

The Immortal Emperor escaped in an instant.

The events that had just unfolded flashed through his mind like a movie, his anger and embarrassment turning to rage. The Cyanwood Phantasm abruptly disappeared, morphing into a green wood sword.

He wielded the wood sword, sweeping across Zhang Desheng.

The green Sword Qi extended far and wide, space itself seeming to freeze, and as the Sword Qi passed, it seemed to stir the universe, the protective weak water shielding Zhang Desheng boiling and failing…

At this moment.

The Immortal Emperor fully displayed the might of a Quasi-Saint.

Under the watchful eyes of all, with a man deeply gazing at him, the Immortal Emperor’s unprecedented rage at that moment made him want to shred everything in front of him.

Without exception.

The green wood had the effect of weakening the enemy, and as the Sword Qi slashed around, the spiritual energy seemed to be imprisoned, Duge’s reaction lagged slightly, completely unable to come to Zhang Desheng’s aid in time.

However, as the Cyanwood Phantasm was retracted by the Immortal Emperor, the restraining effect on the Underworld Emperor also disappeared, and he timely appeared in front of Zhang Desheng, blocking the Immortal Emperor’s Green Wood Sword with the Samsara Mirror.

“Underworld Emperor, have you set your heart on being our enemy?” the Immortal Emperor asked coldly as he looked at the Underworld Emperor, his eyes lightning-like.
