Chapter 858 - - 591 Maximizing Benefits_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

“Immortal Emperor, this is my opportunity to become a saint, no one can stop me,” the Underworld Emperor replied.

“Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, execute the Evil Demons with haste. Those who disobey shall be beheaded,” the Queen Mother of the West, who had just returned in time to rescue the Immortal Emperor from peril, looked down from the sky with an icy countenance.

She presented her Thousand Arms, Thousand Faces form; each hand wielded a Magic Artifact, and the violent wind had been her doing with the Banana Palm Fan.

Fear lurked in the Queen Mother’s heart as well.

She was tasked with delaying the Demon Emperor. Both of their strengths were on par, making victory in a true fight elusive. But the Demon Emperor, having tasted the benefits from the Alien Warriors, had no interest in the battle. After a few exchanges with her, he used the Primordial Banner to escape.

To prevent the Demon Emperor from repeating the same trick and to stop him from intercepting the Heavenly Venerables who were sent to conquer the other major states, the Queen Mother entangled with him for a time, pushing him back to Mount Sumeru before returning to the Middle Heavenly State.

However, the scene she witnessed upon her return nearly petrified her.

She didn’t know why the disciple of the Daoist Ancestor had suddenly rebelled, but she was well aware of the ferocity of Blood Law. If Duge were to consume the Immortal Emperor’s Blood Qi, aside from the Daoist Ancestor, there would be no one in this world who could suppress him.

The intentions of the Daoist Ancestor were unclear, and with the Demon Emperor and Underworld Emperor as Duge’s allies, the death of the Immortal Emperor would place her next in line.

Therefore, the Queen Mother made her move first, rescuing the Immortal Emperor.

But she lacked the experience of combating Alien Warriors, and her strongest combat form inadvertently clashed right into the barrel of Zhang Desheng’s gun.

Zhang Desheng’s skill “Your Eyes Only See Me” required eye contact with the target. Even for a Daluo Golden Immortal, it was easy to evade his gaze.

However, with the Queen Mother’s form of a Thousand Faces, every direction had a face, and Zhang Desheng could easily meet her gaze with a casual glance.

The Queen Mother only managed to utter a single phrase before she was frozen in place, engaging in an affectionate stare-down with Zhang Desheng just like the Immortal Emperor had, lost to the world around her.

Witnessing this scene.

The Immortal Emperor’s eyes were about to burst with rage, and with the Green Wood Sword, he fended off the Underworld Emperor and slashed towards Zhang Desheng, roaring, “You can’t stop me!”

But the next second, the fury on the Immortal Emperor’s face disappeared, more precisely, his rage towards Zhang Desheng vanished.

Yu Xia’s skill, Seas Embrace All Streams, could forcibly reconcile two enemies.

Initially, the Immortal Emperor held no malice towards Zhang Desheng, so the skill had no effect, but after what had transpired, with their hatred deep as the sea, the skill naturally took effect.

After falling prey to it, the Immortal Emperor directed all his attacks at the Underworld Emperor, completely overlooking Zhang Desheng, and yet he was oblivious to it…

Duge took the opportunity to pull Zhang Desheng out of the battlefield and considered the situation. He then commanded Blood Qi to swirl towards the Queen Mother.

Blood Qi does not discriminate between genders; absorbing from anyone served the purpose!

Ning Xianping began a new round of provocation, periodically throwing out a skill between the Immortal Emperor and the Water Official Great Emperor and others, causing them to tug-of-war.

The Immortal Emperor took the Kianwood back into himself and went all out. While he had the upper hand fighting the Underworld Emperor, intervention changed the dynamic.

Indeed, the tug-of-war would end quickly, but nobody could fight while caught in one.

After several instances, the Immortal Emperor actually found himself at a disadvantage.

He had no choice but to redirect his focus towards Gao Ming and the others, who were under Duge’s protection. This decision was not about vengeance, it was purely judgment of the battlefield.

He had to eliminate the Alien Warriors first to rescue the Queen Mother. Only by joining forces with her did he have a chance of winning this war…

Deciding to abandon the Underworld Emperor, the Immortal Emperor, wielding the Green Wood Sword, focused his full might on Gao Ming and the others. Under these circumstances, Duge could no longer absorb any Blood Qi and had to expend his full attention to evade the Immortal Emperor’s assaults with his comrades.

And at this moment.

The Yuansheng Celestial Venerable, who had been sent to conquer the Eastern Polar Continent, just happened to return with his troops.

The earlier Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had been intimidated by Duge and dared not take action. The return of the Yuansheng Celestial Venerable brought new vigor to the Immortal Emperor, who was overjoyed, “Yuansheng, assist me…”

Before he could finish, the words were stifled back into his stomach.

Fortunately.

The Land Official Great Emperor, already familiar with the tactics of the Alien Warriors, promptly took over and finished the Immortal Emperor’s sentence: “Kill the Evil Demons.”

With the Queen Mother and the Immortal Emperor, both nearly at Quasi-Saint level, him and the Water Official Great Emperor, plus seven Heavenly Venerables and hundreds of Daluo Golden Immortals, as long as they could dispel the interference from the Alien Warriors.

In terms of sheer power, they were certainly capable of overpowering the coalition of the Human Emperor and Underworld Emperor…

Of course, it all hinged on the elimination of those vexatious Alien Warriors.

…

At this time, the Demon Emperor who had returned to Mount Sumeru was also informed of the situation in the Middle Heavenly State.

Seeing the Cyanwood Phantasm that blotted out the sky disappear, he didn’t even need to witness it personally to guess that Duge and the Underworld Emperor were trapped.

The Human Emperor could not perish, and the Underworld Emperor must not encounter any mishaps.

The Demon Emperor immediately made a decision: dispatch troops to conquer the Middle Heavenly State.
