Chapter 627: Cursing the Immortal Emperor

Chat Group.

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Why doesn't Immortal King Anlan use the Heavenly Tribulation to deal with this phantom of Emperor Hong? It's just a phantom anyway; it shouldn't be able to withstand this Quasi-Immortal Emperor Tribulation!"

After Han Li finished expressing his opinion, the Chat Group suddenly fell silent for a moment. Perhaps it was because everyone was in different worlds; otherwise, they would surely have all gasped in shock.

It must be said, is this suggestion a bit too advanced?

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, Han Paopao, as expected of you. This method is truly devious; I think I might try it myself in the future."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Using magic to fight magic, as expected of you!"

Demon Queen: "Damn, this Han Li looks harmless to humans and animals, but he's full of wicked schemes. I, the Queen, am very impressed."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Awesome!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Good idea!"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "This idea is a fantasy, yet it is a genuine strategy to break the deadlock."

Bad Commander: "Agreed!"

Baiyue Jiaozhu: "Wonderful, drawing inferences about other cases from one instance!"

Thanos of Titan: "Impressive."

Playboy: "If this were in my world, Brother Han would definitely be a master of psychology, a godfather of superheroes, and the bane of villains."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Cough, cough, Han is just an ordinary person; I'm not as amazing as everyone says."

My Name is Bai Xiaochun: "Brother Han, you don't need to be so humble."

Strongest Hair Stylist of Chicken Island: "666, I kneel to the master."

Immortal King Anlan: "It can be played like this? But, to be honest, even if the strategy succeeds and this phantom of Emperor Hong is destroyed, what if his true body comes over? I still can't beat him."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "It's fine, at worst I'll burn more paper money for you during festivals, Diliu An."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Since ancient times, who has never died? Keep your integrity in the human world. Diliu An, when the opponent comes over, you will be a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and they will also be a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. You are in the same realm, so who is afraid of whom?"

Demon Queen: "Exactly, Anlan, don't be a coward, just fight."

Immortal King Anlan: "That seems to be the case. I am, after all, a dignified Undying King, what am I afraid of? At the peak of immortality, I look down upon time; only with me, Anlan, does the heavens exist."

As these words fell, Anlan, who was undergoing the tribulation, carried the entire sea of lightning and approached the phantom of Emperor Hong. In just an instant, Emperor Hong was surrounded by the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, the two in close proximity.

Even though the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Emperor Hong, had lived for who knows how many epochs, seeing Anlan pull this move on him, he couldn't help but click his tongue, stunned into speechlessness.

"You are but a phantom, and I am about to become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. We are both Quasi-Immortal Emperors. You want me to submit? Heh, you are not worthy!"

"Old thief, take my spear!"

"Immortal Spear Dao Divine Ability, Spear Dao Nine Heavens, One Spear Opens the Emperor Gate!"

"Kill!"

Anlan's armor radiated imperial light, his aura suppressing the heavens and earth, swallowing mountains and rivers like an invincible War God. His spear intent pierced the sky, lightning flickered, and as he brandished the Immortal Divine Spear, lightning dragons soared through the Void, his momentum overwhelming!

"Arrogant!"

"The Emperor cannot be insulted!"

The phantom of Emperor Hong attempted to use the Bone Staff to release a Darkness Domain to Devour Anlan, but since it was not his true body, his power was limited!

Under Anlan's full-force attack and the destructive power of the Heavenly Tribulation, the phantom of Emperor Hong shattered, leaving only the Bone Staff floating above the firmament, emitting a faint imperial might.

At the same time, the terrifying lightning tribulation slowly receded, disappearing almost in the blink of an eye.

A massive pillar of darkness merged into Anlan's body, and a pitch-black fruit appeared above his head—it was the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit. The imperial might on this Dao Fruit made the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm tremble!

Billions of living beings knelt and worshipped this newly ascended Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The beings of the Foreign Realm were excited and thrilled, while the beings of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were filled with gloom, because this Quasi-Immortal Emperor was not on their side.

With just a single thought from him, the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and even the Immortal Domain, could be wiped out.

"Anlan... he became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor?"

In the Foreign Realm, the heavily injured giant Immortal King Yutuo watched as his former close friend became an eternal, unfathomable Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

His expression was complex, containing a variety of emotions.

There was happiness for his friend, a trace of unwillingness and loss, and naturally, jealousy.

This was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, after all; who could not be jealous or envious? Such an existence was hard to appear even once in dozens of epochs. From the Era of Emperor Fall until now, Quasi-Immortal Emperors had long since gone extinct.

Wushang, Luo Mo, and the Heaven-Swallowing Immortal King saw this scene and knew that from now on, the master of the Foreign Realm would be Anlan alone.

In the air, Anlan quietly savored the power of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit. This power was truly intoxicating; he couldn't help but be lost in it. That kind of strength could not be described in words.

Now, he could kill his former self with a flick of a finger. The gap was like that between the firmament and the earth, or the bright moon and fireflies?

And this was only just after advancing; the longer one stayed in this realm, the greater the power would become.

"This is?"

Anlan suddenly discovered that a familiar yet strange aura had appeared on his Darkness Dao Fruit; more accurately, it was a new force.

"Curse Law?"

After careful study, Anlan recognized the power that had appeared in his Darkness Dao Fruit.

Yes, within the origin representing the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, there was an extra aura of Law—the Curse Law.

It originated from the same source as the power of the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book.

Having joined the Chat Group for so long, Anlan had become very familiar with the cultivation systems of the myriad worlds.

Especially the Journey to the West World where Xuanzang resided; he was as familiar with it as could be.

The end of mythical powerhouses was to comprehend the true Law and prove the Dao to reach Hunyuan, to transcend via Hunyuan, and to attain the Hunyuan Wuji Fruit. There were even stronger ones who could comprehend the Three Thousand Laws and the Three Thousand Great Daos, existing alongside the Dao, eternal and indestructible, roaming the vast expanse, and traveling through the endless Chaos of time and space.

Unlike mythical powerhouses, the Laws in Anlan's time and space were extremely easy to comprehend and control; the strong could even trample upon the ten thousand Daos, shatter the ten thousand Daos, and reign supreme.

Therefore, even Immortal Kings were not deeply refined in the cultivation of Laws; after all, mastering Laws was not a difficult task. As for the so-called Great Dao or shattering the Great Dao, that was too abstract. In their time and space, probably few people could define what the Great Dao actually was.

Now, the extra Curse Law in his Dark Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit forced Anlan to be cautious; he seemed to have touched upon a mysterious Great Dao.

It was not that he had never seen the Curse Law; there were many powerhouses in the Foreign Realm who knew this Law, but compared to this Curse Law of his, it seemed different, and the difference in aura was quite significant.

That feeling was like a fake encountering the real thing?

Anlan even felt that this was the true Curse Law, the true Dao!

As long as he continued to cultivate this Curse Law, he could even, like Xuan Ge, use Law to prove the Dao of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

"Could it be that because I cultivated the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book, I have grasped a sliver of the Curse Great Dao?" Anlan thought to himself.

Xuan Ge once said that the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations are not just thirty-six divine abilities, but represent thirty-six Daos for proving the Primordial!

For example, Mediation of Creation represents the Creation Law and the Life Law.

Golden Light of Earthly Movement represents extreme speed, the Speed Law!

Moving Stars and Changing Dippers represents the Star Law and the Inversion Law.

And the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book represents the Curse, or perhaps the two Laws of Karma!

Boom!

Just as Anlan was lost in thought, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and the Foreign Realm erupted with ten thousand thunderous sounds.

In the vast sky and infinite universe, a giant eye of Darkness appeared. Majestic Imperial might pressed down, covering the sky and earth; mountains and rivers flowed backward, and the cosmos reversed!

Beneath the eye of Darkness appeared an Imperial Throne piled high with billions of corpses. Sitting on top was a figure wearing a black Imperial Robe. He sat there quietly, and all things in heaven and earth were unable to move; even Immortal Kings had to prostrate their bodies and lower their proud heads.

Emperor Hong had arrived, coming from the Boundary Sea to the Foreign Realm!

His expression was gloomy and full of displeasure. Behind him, the Void evolved into mountains of corpses and a River of Blood, with countless time-spaces shattering at his single thought.

For a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, destroying a world was merely a matter of lifting a hand.

And since the Foreign Realm was created by him, naturally everything within it should be under his control.

Now that a variable had appeared within it, and one that defied him, there was no need for it to exist.

Should he just destroy the Foreign Realm today, let this world sink for billions of years, and erase this ancient history?

"A Quasi-Immortal Emperor!"

Liu Shen looked at the figure with difficulty, never expecting that such a creature truly existed.

Too strong; she was simply not in the same realm as him.

"Emperor Hong!"

Huang's expression was grave, his figure becoming increasingly dim.

"Anlan, I will give you one more chance. If you are willing to submit, I will let bygones be bygones, and even take you to see the source of all Darkness in the heavens, allowing you to glimpse the true ultimate realm," Emperor Hong said.

"The Emperor cannot be insulted. Emperor Hong, do you think you would submit to others?" Anlan said.

"It seems there is nothing to discuss. What a pity. You have only just become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, while I have been immersed in this realm for dozens of epochs and have killed multiple Quasi-Immortal Emperors. You cannot possibly be my opponent."

Emperor Hong laughed, a trace of cruelty appearing on his cold, ruthless face.

And the two great Origin Ancient Artifacts of the Foreign Realm flew automatically toward Emperor Hong!

Emperor Hong stood up from the Imperial Throne. His figure was burly and upright, wearing an ancient Imperial Robe like a Heavenly Emperor of old. His black hair draped over his shoulders, dancing wildly in the wind, and his peerless Imperial might swept across the heavens.

In one hand he held a Bone Staff, and atop his head he wore a Bone Emperor Crown; these Origin Ancient Artifacts were also his Quasi-Immortal Emperor Weapons!

Emperor Hong swung the Bone Staff. It was just a casual move, yet billions of stars shattered, the space they occupied turned into a Void, and under that great power, one could see world after world and time-space after time-space being annihilated!

Anlan did not dodge or evade; he raised his Immortal spear, standing alone against ten thousand worlds, and with one thrust pierced through endless time-space, directly repelling Emperor Hong's Bone Staff!

"I have only made a slight move, yet you have already used nearly all your strength," Emperor Hong said calmly.

"Hmph, I only used half a percent of my strength!" Anlan laughed easily.

"World-Extinguishing Tribulation Light!"

"Immortal Spear Art: Spear Supreme Nine Heavens, Twelfth Spear, Slashing the Emperor!"

Boom!

The battle between the two Quasi-Immortal Emperors was truly heaven-shaking and earth-shattering; even Immortal Kings could not catch a glimpse of their fighting shadows.

Because their power was too great, if it continued, the aftermath of the battle would destroy the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the Foreign Realm, and the Immortal Domain!

Therefore, Anlan lured Emperor Hong above the Boundary Sea to begin the Imperial War. The Boundary Sea was vast, boundless, and contained multiple heavens, enough to bear the aftermath of a battle between two Quasi-Immortal Emperors.

This battle lasted for two and a half years. In just two years, earth-shattering changes occurred in the Boundary Sea; day and night, one could hear the wailing of ghosts and spirits that had been dormant for dozens of epochs.

On this day, Anlan and Emperor Hong stopped fighting.

Whether it was Emperor Hong or Anlan, who had just become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, both were wounded. Imperial blood flowed out, staining the Boundary Sea red and attracting countless spirits to fight over it!

However, as soon as those creatures touched the Imperial blood, they were instantly crushed to pieces by the Imperial might contained within it.

Imperial might cannot be offended; this saying was not just empty talk.

The energy contained in a single drop of blood was enough to crush an Immortal King, let alone these half-human, half-ghost spirits.

But at this moment, Emperor Hong frowned, thinking hard but unable to understand.

At the beginning, he had the upper hand in the fight with Anlan, even suppressing him at one point, but as time went on, a weird thing happened. He did not know if it was because Anlan's strength was rising too fast or if he himself was becoming weaker, but his advantage had slowly disappeared until now, when it was difficult to secure a victory.

No, it was not that Anlan had become stronger, but that he had become weaker invisibly. Why was this?

Emperor Hong hurriedly checked his body. There were no problems on the surface of his Imperial body, and the same was true for his Primordial Spirit.

But when he checked his Dao Fruit, Emperor Hong discovered that the light of his Darkness Dao Fruit had dimmed significantly, losing the great power of several epochs, and wisps of weird aura were lingering on the surface of the Darkness Dao Fruit.

"This is a curse? Slash!"

Emperor Hong immediately mobilized his Darkness power to slash away the curse power, but the curse was like a maggot on a tarsal bone; slash away a sliver, and a new patch would grow. In a short time, it was impossible to eliminate it completely.

A sinister smile appeared on Anlan's face as he said, "Hehe, Emperor Hong, it seems you have discovered it. But what use is it? If you continue to fight, it will do you nothing but harm."

"You... actually dare to plot against this Emperor," Emperor Hong scolded, filled with murderous intent.

"Hehe, how can it be called plotting? Just some means of self-preservation," Anlan said.

Emperor Hong's current situation was that he had been struck by the secret curse technique, the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book. Of course, it was very difficult to curse a Quasi-Immortal Emperor to death in a short time.

However, it could weaken a Quasi-Immortal Emperor's strength, invisibly shaving away Emperor Hong's essence, energy, spirit, and even his lifespan.

One must know that the Nail-Head Seven-Arrow Book could even curse a Daluo Dao Fruit, let alone a Quasi-Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit?

Emperor Hong felt distressed inside; the power of Anlan's curse could not even be Devoured or erased by the power of Darkness, it was too full of Weirdness.

But if he just let it go like this, where would he put his face?

A veteran Quasi-Immortal Emperor could not take down a newly ascended Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and was even tricked by him.

At this moment, three phantoms appeared in the Void, and all three phantoms radiated immense imperial might; they were clearly all Quasi-Immortal Emperors!

"Having slumbered for several epochs, I did not expect the world to have another Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor; this is a joyous and congratulatory occasion."

The one speaking was an ancient existence with the most concentrated imperial might, and following this, an old man appeared, draped in an ancient hemp robe, looking plain and unadorned, yet he was the strongest Quasi-Immortal Emperor remaining today, the World-Extinguishing Old Man!

Seeing this old man, Emperor Hong also revealed a look of respect and called out:

"Senior!"

The other two imperial shadows did not speak, but their strength was not weak either.
