Chapter 243: The Sixth Volume: The Emperor Lords Assemble

After Luo Feng discovered that the Origin Continent's most sinful "Iron Xiao Mo Jun" was behind Emperor Yuan, he immediately dispatched another avatar of himself and Mo Luo Sa to strike at the second-most sinful "Black Vulture Ancestor."

"This strike against Emperor Yuan will surely make the Emperor Lords of the Origin Continent wary and on guard—there won't be a second chance for me."

"And to prevent the Black Vulture Ancestor from reincarnating, eliminate him first."

Luo Feng and Mo Luo Sa's other avatar crossed the vast distance in a single thought, arriving at Black Vulture Palace.

Inside Black Vulture Palace.

"Hmph."

Endless thick black mist coiled deep within the palace—this was the body of the Black Vulture Ancestor.

"The top four sinners on the Origin Continent—Fox-Eater Shenwang and Gu Ying Shenwang—their karmic traces have vanished. Are they dead, or have they reincarnated?" The dense black mist remained calm, "I look forward to the arrival of the mysterious powerhouse—I want to see what he can do to me."

The Black Vulture Ancestor had confidence because three Emperor Lords of Thunder Ancient Nation stood behind him—though none of them were present now.

Suddenly—

The Black Vulture Ancestor "saw" a massive star rolling toward him; he gasped in awe: "Such a powerful mental will attack!" Before the rolling star, his mental will offered no resistance—it was crushed and shattered, turning the black mist into a corpse.

At that moment, the Black Vulture Ancestor's avatars across the Origin Continent all became corpses.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng frowned slightly; he sensed that one of the Black Vulture Ancestor's avatars hid within the distant "Thunder Mountain," protected by Thunder Mountain's power—his mental will attack had been greatly weakened, only severely injuring that one avatar.

"Thunder Mountain—no wonder it's the most heavily defended place on the entire Origin Continent! My mental will attack was weakened by seven or eight tenths!" Luo Feng was stunned.

Each Emperor Lord of Yanfeng Ancient Nation possessed a capital city.

For example, Fox-Eater Shenwang had an avatar hiding within an Emperor Lord's palace—the palace weakened Luo Feng's mental will by two or three tenths, yet Luo Feng still killed Fox-Eater Shenwang.

"Thunder Ancient Nation has only one sacred site: Thunder Mountain! Multiple Emperor Lords reside there, and even Thunder Primogenitor is said to have an avatar there." Luo Feng sighed; whether through mental attacks or karmic attacks, harming those within Thunder Mountain remained far too difficult.

…

Within the sacred site "Thunder Mountain."

"Boom."

Inside a cave dwelling deep within Thunder Mountain, the Black Vulture Ancestor felt his mental will crushed—suddenly severely wounded! All his avatars and reincarnation vessels outside Thunder Mountain were utterly annihilated, leaving not a trace.

"Even within Thunder Mountain, my mental will was severely wounded?" The Black Vulture Ancestor felt fear now, "Outside, I had no resistance at all."

"Three Emperor Lords," the Black Vulture Ancestor immediately sent a message to his three closest allies.

He was truly terrified.

With such a terrifying existence lurking, he dared not leave Thunder Mountain.

"Of the top four sinners on the continent, Fox-Eater Shenwang is dead, Gu Ying Shenwang likely reincarnated voluntarily. The Black Vulture Ancestor has an avatar hidden in the sacred site 'Thunder Mountain,' and Iron Xiao Mo Jun is a unique puppet life-form." Luo Feng now felt his plan was wise.

His plan had finally succeeded in luring out "Emperor Yuan," the big fish!

Under the Origin Continent's supreme rules, the upper limit of power was fixed.

This was good—it gave him confidence to face the Primogenitors of the two nations and the Primogenitor of the Eastern Pole Realm. But it also capped the power of the Star Tower; once Emperor Lords and Lords hid in their strongholds, threatening them became extremely difficult!

"After this strike against Emperor Yuan, other Emperor Lords and Lords will surely be even more cautious."

"In truth, I harbor no ill will toward most Emperor Lords and Lords. But they won't believe that."

For example, his Master Emperor Chu, Emperor Ming, Emperor Fu, Emperor Xuan—Luo Feng respected or held affection for them. Only a very few truly aroused his hostility.

"Emperor Yuan has not cultivated the Primordial Bloodline! He merely used Primordial materials to become an Ultimate Lifeform—he is fully conscious! Yet he cultivated a legacy that can transform into an endless abyss, delighting in devouring countless living beings." Luo Feng had long heard of Emperor Yuan's infamous reputation.

Emperor Yuan, transformed into an endless abyss, devoured billions of living beings. His major atrocities were known to many Shenwang.

Now it seemed Emperor Yuan's appetite was insatiable—he secretly used "Iron Xiao Mo Jun" to capture countless living beings. The true number he devoured was simply unimaginable.

"Black Robe!"

Emperor Yuan's face was aged, his cloak fluttering.

He gazed at the endless crimson rivers around him and laughed aloud; his armor glowed with dark radiance, the surroundings twisted, and a hazy dark abyss began to descend.

Simultaneously, he extended both hands—each hand wore a glove.

Two enormous palms appeared in the heavens and earth, their palms covered in countless secret patterns; the palms began to close, and the space between them shattered and annihilated everything, seeking to crush the crimson rivers as well.

"Emperor Yuan probably knows only two or three Ultimate-level techniques," Luo Feng thought, "but with 'Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures,' each technique's power surges—his attacks feel comparable to my Seven Branch Fusion technique."

This was the advantage of treasures—they greatly amplified the profundity of one's realm.

With a few supreme treasures, an Emperor Lord could rival the Heavenly Wood Nation's Realm Beast or the Ten Thousand Worlds Sovereign! The Heavenly Wood Realm Beast and Ten Thousand Worlds Sovereign found it extremely difficult to obtain "Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures"; even if they occasionally acquired one, it might not suit them.

"Hurry over, join me and capture this Black Robe!"

"If we miss this chance and let the Black Robe escape, he'll be far more cautious—there won't be another opportunity like this." As Emperor Yuan activated his many Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures, he also sent telepathic calls summoning other Emperor Lords.

"Hurry, hurry, come quickly!" Emperor Yuan urged anxiously.

He feared this big fish would slip away!

"Destroy."

Within the endless crimson rivers, Luo Feng watched Emperor Yuan unleash his techniques—his mind stirred, and the Star Tower within him was activated!

Luo Feng had no intention of trapping "Emperor Yuan" inside the Star Tower—once inside, suppression, imprisonment, and strangulation would kill Emperor Yuan instantly, but if Emperor Yuan reincarnated, he might expose the Star Tower's secrets!

Without trapping the enemy inside, merely activating the Star Tower and commanding the entire River of Life would still amplify its power to an unimaginable level.

"Hmm?" Emperor Yuan, fully focused and confident, suddenly sensed the endless crimson rivers had changed!

Each river current felt like a world—immensely heavy, each one seeking to suppress and imprison him. And this strange river pierced through his armor, forcibly seeping into his body, shredding the finest components of his form.

Within his body lay a black pearl, naturally evolving into an abyss.

This abyss influenced his entire body, helping him resist the crimson rivers' erosion.

But—

The crimson rivers, driven by the Star Tower, were overwhelmingly dominant, crushing and corrupting relentlessly.

"How is this possible!" Emperor Yuan was stunned, "I have five Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures—three of them for defense! I'm an Ultimate Lifeform! How could this happen?"

The power of the endless crimson rivers had already reached the Origin Continent's maximum limit.

Under the Star Tower's secret patterns, its realm surpassed even the Eight Branch technique—Emperor Yuan's three defensive treasures were like sieves, constantly penetrated. His Ultimate Lifeform was continuously eroded and destroyed.

"Three breaths. Three breaths—I'll be dead." Emperor Yuan instantly judged the erosion speed.

=9+book_bar

Even with his protective cloak, armor, and Abyss Pearl—three defensive treasures—the Ultimate Lifeform could resist for only three breaths.

This was something Emperor Yuan had never anticipated!

Yet it was true!

"Hurry, save me, hurry, save me—I can only hold on for two breaths!" Emperor Yuan immediately telepathically called out to other Emperor Lords, his thoughts racing as he desperately pleaded for help—from Emperor Qing to all others.

…

The matter of Emperor Yuan and Iron Xiao Mo Jun was a secret! Though some Emperor Lords suspected, none had torn away the veil.

At this moment, the Emperor Lords of Yanfeng Ancient Nation each had their own duties.

"The one killing great sinners is the Black Robe! I've found him!"

"He dares to fight me—hurry, come and help me capture him." When Emperor Yuan first sent his message, the other Emperor Lords were somewhat startled.

These Emperor Lords were either in seclusion, guarding critical locations, or fulfilling clan duties—some, bound by duty, simply ignored the sudden message.

"Go capture the Black Robe? Is he that easy to catch?" Emperor Jiu Feng sneered.

"I'm not bothering," Emperor Chu refused outright.

"A fool," Emperor Ming also ignored it.

Relations among Emperor Lords were often poor.

Emperor Yuan's call drew only a handful of willing allies.

"My subordinate Fox-Eater Shenwang died at the Black Robe's hands—I could ally with Emperor Yuan once." Emperor Kong thought, "But I'll wait—wait until more Emperor Lords act; then my chances improve."

Emperor Kong planned to wait ten breaths—until the battle intensified and more Emperor Lords joined—before acting.

"What? Emperor Yuan is going after the Black Robe?" Emperor Fu was startled.

With his insight, he instantly deduced the truth.

"Emperor Yuan has always been stirring up trouble," Emperor Fu sighed; he couldn't control Emperor Yuan, only suppress him. In recent years, Iron Xiao Mo Jun had grown quieter.

But past sins left deep scars.

…

As the Emperor Lords each harbored their own thoughts—

"Hurry, save me, hurry, save me—I can only hold on for two breaths!" Emperor Yuan's desperate plea stunned every Emperor Lord of Yanfeng Ancient Nation.

Why was he begging for help?

Even Emperor Jiu Feng, Emperor Chu, Emperor Ming—all were shocked.

Everyone knew how powerful Emperor Yuan was with his full set of Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures!

"Hurry, I'm dying!"

"This Black Robe is too terrifying! If you don't come now, I'll have to reincarnate!" Emperor Yuan's telepathic cry was frantic—once he reincarnated, his full set of Supra-Shenwang-tier Treasures would be lost. He lacked sufficient debt quota to re-attain an Ultimate Lifeform.

So unless at his last moment, Emperor Yuan refused to reincarnate.

"Do not go alone," Emperor Fu immediately sent a message, "Gather at my location—I'll activate a formation, and we'll rescue Emperor Yuan together."

Emperor Fu sensed that if Emperor Lords went alone, they'd only be walking into death.

"Understood."

"I'm coming."

"I'm here!"

In this critical moment, the Emperor Lords of Yanfeng Ancient Nation recognized the unprecedented severity—their situation demanded action. Even Emperor Ming and Emperor Chu now moved without hesitation.

Excluding those burdened with vital duties, eight Emperor Lords instantly assembled under the leadership of the reigning Emperor Lord "Emperor Fu," forming a formation, and in a single thought, crossed vast distances to reach the expansive battlefield shrouded in endless crimson rivers.
