Chapter 720: Kill When One Should Kill

How is this possible!?

The many Venerables nearby watched the Gu She being gripped by Li Heng, incomparably shocked.

Just a moment ago, they had invoked the Battlefield Law, causing the Great Void Power to descend. Things had gone as they initially expected; once the Great Void Power descended, it began to target that powerful Outer Path person.

Yet, at that critical moment, just as the Great Void Power was about to fall upon the head of this Outer Path person, it suddenly dissipated, no longer targeting or attacking this Outer Path person.

Instead, this Outer Path person used such mysterious methods that, in the instant they were unaware, he gripped the Gu She, causing its body to hang limp and powerless, seemingly unable to struggle or escape at all.

"Did you really think the Great Void was your trump card?"

"Ridiculous."

Li Heng sneered, his hand beginning to exert force, gripping the Gu She tighter and tighter; as flesh and blood were squeezed and churned, it actually sounded like landmines, causing the entire snake body to burst with sprays of blood.

"Devour!"

Unable to struggle, the Gu She exhausted its last ounce of strength, fully activating its own Devouring Authority, the entire snake body wanting to expand rapidly to fill the entire Great Void, to Swallow Heaven Devour Earth.

But the next moment, the Gu She's body was like a balloon.

It was directly squeezed to pieces by Li Heng.

Flesh and blood body, divine soul and True Spirit, all exploded!

At this moment, the terrifying giant snake known as Gu She died completely!

Li Heng sensed the Golden Source Points arriving in his mind—one billion Golden Source Points; not bad at all. Although this snake had no intelligence in its speech or actions, it was worth this many Golden Source Points.

This event happened in the instant the various Emperors could not react. By the time they regained their senses and realized this, the Gu She was already dead.

"Kill!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the six Emperors, led by the Taiji Emperor, lunged at Li Heng again, pushing themselves to the extreme sublimation, sparing no cost to erupt with combat power surpassing their own peaks.

This Outer Path person was simply too terrifying, too brutal. Fleeing might offer a glimmer of hope for survival, but there was also a high probability of being picked off one by one. None of them were a match for this Outer Path person; the Gu She who had just died miserably proved this point.

Since that was the case,

as Supreme Emperors, they might as well gamble!

"Throwing your lives away in vain."

Li Heng shook his head and waved his large hand; behind him, the Heavens Great Sun manifested, residing at the peak of the ten thousand worlds, above all heavens, blooming with immeasurable light, shrouding the six attacking Emperors within it.

In an instant.

The Yin and Yang rotating Taiji Diagram burned without fire, the terrifying, dark, and huge Abyss Great Sun shone its light, the Abyss Law was expelled, evolved, devoured, and burned, and the Infinite Staircase appeared with dense cracks under the heavy pressure of the Heavens Great Sun, even showing faults...

The methods of the six Emperors faced Li Heng's Heavens Great Sun with no resistance or ability to fight back; they were directly crushed, and subsequently, the six themselves were suppressed, leaving them unable to move.

"You are too weak; are you truly qualified to be called Emperors?"

Li Heng shook his head.

"Heh, since we have lost, what else is there to say? It is hateful that the Great Dao of binary opposition transformation has already been occupied by others; otherwise, my Taiji Dao could have sublimated once more—why would I fear you?"

The Taiji Emperor spoke indignantly, unafraid of life or death.

"Fellow Daoist Taiji is right! If not for someone occupying the orthodox status of the Abyss, why would I be called Daoyuan instead of Abyss? This heaven destroys me, it is not the fault of the battle—hateful!"

The Daoyuan Emperor also spoke up, equally unconvinced.

In the end, five of the six Emperors who attacked him were unconvinced.

Li Heng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Just as he expected, walking this Great Void Path might lead to encountering someone blocking the way ahead? He did not understand the Taiji Dao, but this orthodox status of the Abyss...

He remembered that Forbidden Object from the Abyss Sea back then.

"It seems you each have your reasons; then I wonder, what is your reason?" Li Heng smiled, shifting his gaze to the Infinite Emperor, interested in hearing an explanation.

"What other reason is there? It is nothing more than being less skilled than one's opponent."

"My Infinite Dao, the Infinite Staircase is simply not high enough."

The Infinite Emperor's expression was calm as he closed his eyes and spoke.

"Fellow Daoist is right, it is just being less skilled than one's opponent; it is laughable that those six do not see as clearly as Fellow Daoist. What unwillingness? What regret? In the final analysis, it is just those four words: less skilled than one's opponent."

Hearing such remarks, the five Emperors glared at him.

They were not just looking at Li Heng, but also at the Infinite Emperor.

This Infinite really was a well-fed man who did not know the hunger of the starving. Relying on the fact that his own Great Dao had not had its path and status occupied by others, he was here spouting such delusional remarks to shake the morale of the troops?

"Why are you five looking at me? The cause of yesterday is the fruit of today; when we attacked the Wudao Gong back then, we should have expected such a day. If we die, we die; do not be so ugly."

The Infinite Emperor sneered.

The strength Li Heng was currently displaying far exceeded an Invincible Emperor; the ritual was even a whole major realm higher than his. With such strength, he admitted he had no chance whatsoever and would surely die.

Since that was the case, it was better to die with composure.

Once these words were spoken, the five Emperors fell into silence, their expressions ashen. As Supreme Emperors, how could they not know this? But even ants cling to life, let alone them.

They had endured thousands of hardships and obstacles to reach this battlefield near the Shikong Jintou, and after countless bloody battles and life-and-death struggles, they had finally ascended to become Emperors, dividing order and looking down upon all living beings, only a hair's breadth away from entering the Shikong Jintou to find that supreme opportunity.

But now, suddenly, they were going to die?

Just because they made one wrong choice?

"This Fellow Daoist, may I say a fair word?"

At this moment, the Treasure Emperor, who had not attacked and had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.

"Why, do you want to plead for these six?"

Li Heng said with a half-smile.

"If that is the case, then forget it. You are very wise, just like that big tree over there; you did not attack me, so you can live for now, but that does not mean you can meddle in this matter."

"No, no, I just wanted to say that the Final Battle will select five Emperors, and these five Emperors are qualified to enter the Shikong Jintou. But if the Upper Battlefield cannot gather five Emperors, then the Final Battle will be postponed indefinitely until the number is met. Since Fellow Daoist has come here, you must also be here for the Shikong Jintou, right?"

The Treasure Emperor explained.

To him, it was best if these seven people died. As the saying goes, there are many monks and little gruel; with one less monk, his gruel would be a little more. But unfortunately, the dining hall of the Shikong Jintou would not serve food unless there were five people.

"Are you saying that I still have to let two of them go?"

Li Heng smiled slightly.

"I do not mean to command you, fellow Daoist, nor even to suggest it; I only wish to disclose this information to you, and as for what you do, please decide for yourself."

Treasure Emperor said with a wry smile; he was being extremely cautious, as he did not want to be crushed to death like that snake.

"I am very clear on your meaning, and this is indeed a good suggestion; compromising for a greater opportunity is a wise move, nothing more than enduring for a while and killing them later. Unfortunately, I have no need for that."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

As soon as his voice fell, those six Emperors instantly lost their vitality...
