Chapter 1035: Azure Abyss Emperor Strikes!

"This should be a happy thing, but I can't bring myself to be happy! The Lihuo Sect lost so many subjects—it's like someone took a dump on my head!"

"The Azure Abyss Emperor's voice sounded light, yet it exploded like a thunderclap on a calm lake."

"Moreover, the terrifying pressure poured down, and everyone felt a pang of palpitation."

"No one wanted to face an enraged Azure Abyss Emperor!"

"Once, when the Azure Abyss Emperor flew into a rage, he slaughtered dozens of star seas, blood flowed like rivers, the starry sky was obliterated, and that region remains an absolute wasteland to this day."

"Boom!"

"An invisible pressure poured down from the Azure Abyss Emperor's throne."

"Pfft-pfft-pfft!"

"Everyone spat out a mouthful of essence blood."

"Sun Qinghou was directly blasted away, heavily smashing into the jade pillar, blood continuously spraying from his body."

"Crack!"

"Sun Qinghou crashed heavily to the ground, not knowing which part of his body was broken."

"The Azure Abyss Emperor's furious voice followed: 'Sun Qinghou, you have disappointed me greatly! I tasked you with investigating the Spirit Martial Emperor's incursion and the Heaven-Burying Alliance's affairs—is this the result of your responsibility?!'"

"'My prestige echoes throughout the Azure Abyss Heaven; this time I will ruin you completely!'"

"'The Lihuo Sect is a sect I personally guided—who in the Azure Abyss Heaven doesn't know that?'"

"Now the Lihuo Sect has been wiped out—clearly a slap to his face!"

"A fierce slap!"

"More importantly, this has spread throughout the Azure Abyss Heaven, giving those harboring rebellious thoughts wicked ideas."

"Now, because he obtained the Nine-turn Battle Gu, he has conceded a portion of the Azure Abyss Heaven's benefits."

"Originally he spent countless ages laying down myriad heaven-earth dao patterns in the Azure Abyss Heaven, but now he has no choice but to cede one-third of the heavenly domains to the Deceit Palace and Gu Origin Heaven."

"This severely weakened his strength!"

"But he had no choice but to do so!"

"Adding the domains previously taken by the Deceit Palace and Gu Origin Heaven, fully half of the heavenly domains have been divided up!"

"Henceforth, the Deceit Palace and Gu Origin Heaven have laid down strange dao patterns and Gu Clan dao patterns within the Azure Abyss Heaven, devouring its benefits like a silkworm swallowing a whale."

"However, he has already reached an agreement with Gu Yue Laozi and the Dark Sorrow Ancestor."

"This will proceed gradually!"

"Otherwise, once this is exposed, many forces will likely rise in resistance against his Azure Abyss Empire!"

"Moments later."

"Sun Qinghou crawled up from the ground, a pool of fresh blood gruesome, blood still flowing from his body, his voice trembling as he knew the Azure Abyss Emperor was truly furious this time: 'Your Majesty, I have indeed had my subordinates monitor the Star Sea borderlands, for I believe the Spirit Martial Emperor's cultivation has not recovered, and he would surely strike from the Star Sea borderlands.'"

"'But the people the Spirit Martial Emperor brought are simply too strong! I also wanted to share your burdens, Your Majesty, even though my four sons have already died in the Star Borderlands, the enemy is just too powerful!'"

"The Azure Abyss Emperor snorted coldly: 'Next, the Azure Abyss Army will intervene! Sun Qinghou, I give you the military talisman—hope you do not disappoint me!'"

"Hiss!"

"A stream of light flew over."

"As you command!"

"Sun Qinghou received an ancient azure talisman."

"In the depths of the hall, Heze Zhanglao of the Deceit Palace said, 'In my view, since we know the Spirit Martial Emperor is at the Star Sea borderlands, we should simply slaughter all living beings there—after all, they are merely ants!'"

"Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned."

"What a vicious scheme!"

"Damn, this is the Azure Abyss Heaven—does the Deceit Palace not treat the living beings of this realm as human?"

"Sun Qinghou reported, 'Your Majesty, although the Spirit Martial Emperor is indeed at the Star Sea borderlands, the starry sky is vast—I don't know which star field she is in.'"

"'The southern, western, and northern regions all have tragedies similar to the Lihuo Valley, only not as severe.'"

"Heze Zhanglao gave a cold smile, sending chills down one's spine: 'Truly womanly benevolence! You worry about which star field the Spirit Martial Emperor is in—just seal off the border star sea and slaughter everything; I don't believe we can't find the Spirit Martial Emperor.'"

"Everyone drew in a cold breath."

"Hiss!"

"At this moment, the Azure Abyss Emperor slowly rose from his throne; inwardly he agreed with Heze Zhanglao's approach, but it conflicted with the image he has consistently proclaimed in the Azure Abyss Heaven."

"All along, he has called himself the 'cloud' atop the heads of all beings in the Azure Abyss Heaven, devoting himself completely to the Azure Abyss Heaven—even if he betrayed the Everlasting Heaven, it was for the beings of the Azure Abyss Heaven."

"In that case, isn't this essentially slapping his own face?"

"Thinking of this, the Azure Abyss Emperor flicked his sleeve, and a vast star map of the Azure Abyss Heaven appeared in the hall."

"This is a condensed map; thanks to the existence of heaven-earth array patterns, one can glimpse the conditions of most stars."

"The starry sky glittered with light."

"Suddenly, the Azure Abyss Emperor slightly furrowed his brow."

"Because three terrifying undulations appeared in the Azure Abyss Heaven, related to the World Tree—like a thin mist shrouding the star map, clashing with the dao patterns he had previously laid down!"

"'What is this?'"

"'Someone is stealing the power of my Azure Abyss Heaven!'"

"The Azure Abyss Emperor's face turned extremely grave!"

"This is the very foundation of his standing—how could he allow anyone to tamper with his roots!"

"A thought moved the Azure Abyss Emperor, and he directly activated his Dharma Aspect form!"

"Boom—rumble!"

"An immensely huge figure suddenly rose from outside the Qingming Tiangong, wearing a dragon robe, standing tall between heaven and earth, golden radiance flowing across his body, the aura of the Nine-turn One-heart Seek Death Gu surging forth, an awe-inspiring pressure pouring out in all directions."

"The Divine Light on the Azure Abyss Emperor's body was too strong, rising like a giant sun between heaven and earth."

This Dharma Aspect form can be called the supreme of Azure Abyss Heaven!

Behind him, many Great Dao thundered; with just a thought, he could use the Heaven-Earth Dao patterns to communicate with the World Tree, and the starry skies where he once laid Dao patterns all resonated with faint thunder.

In an instant, countless powerful beings were utterly shocked.

This is the true power of the Lord of Azure Abyss Heaven!

Within Azure Abyss Heaven, he can mobilize the will of Heaven and Earth, holding power over life and death!

Far above the Void, one can also see the vast Dharma Body of the Azure Abyss Emperor, standing like a monument between Heaven and Earth.

Ordinary cultivators dare not even peek at his Dharma Body; even a cultivator of the High Star Wen Dao Realm, with just a look, feels his heart quiver, as if his body would burst!

In the hand of the Azure Abyss Emperor, the divine seal shifts, beginning to scrutinize the entirety of Azure Abyss Heaven!

Hiss!

In his hand, incomparably brilliant Dao patterns intertwine, mysterious power surges through the heavens, and he seeks the location of another Dao pattern!

This power is too vast!

It is a power of the Heavenly Realm level!

Countless beings all feel a sensation of power over life and death.

Southern region.

Xiao A Liang and Xiaoyaozi were originally in the Sword Tomb, comprehending the sword rhythm and sword Dao of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable, when they were suddenly awakened by the vast power.

Xiao A Liang coughed up a mouthful of essence blood from the corner of his mouth.

That power is too mighty!

Xiaoyaozi also let out a muffled groan, spitting blood from his mouth.

Pfft!

Compared to it, their two powers are nothing but mayflies.

Xiaoyaozi extended his divine sense, saying, 'A titan is probing this realm! Just what level of power is this terrifying force?'
