Chapter 1036: Slash at Yang Ling'er!

A giant power is probing this realm of heaven and earth! Such terrifying force—what level of strength is it exactly?

Xiaoyaozi said, 'Those who come harbor ill intent!'

This power that surveys heaven and earth regards all beings as ants, looking down upon the myriad creatures.

Xiao Liang frowned and said, 'It's fine. No matter the Dao patterns laid down by Venerable Lord Lu, they are absolutely impossible to break!'

But soon, the starry sky where Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi were flickered with an incomparably brilliant stellar Dao pattern, locking down this place.

Lu Xuan's laid Dao patterns are founded upon the World Tree, merging with it.

But this power is an overbearing invasion of the World Tree, evolving into a realm of heaven and earth.

The forces of the two Dao patterns are in opposition!

This newly emerged power cannot shatter the World Tree Dao patterns activated by Lu Xuan.

Xiaoyaozi glanced and said, 'No need to worry. Compared to Venerable Lord Lu's power, this force is merely superficial.'

Xiao Liang nodded, then closed his eyes again to absorb the sword's resonance!

At this moment, the Azure Abyss Emperor slightly furrowed his brows, his Dharma Aspect Body standing firm in heaven and earth, revealing an unprecedented solemnity: 'These ancient Dao patterns were laid down long before I took control of Azure Abyss Heaven!'

A sense of crisis arose in his heart.

If not for today, when his refined Azure Abyss Heaven Star Chart fluctuated, he would never have discovered the existence of these Dao patterns.

Rooted within the World Tree.

Even his comprehension of the World Tree exceeds his own essence!

The Azure Abyss Emperor secretly thought, 'This must be the World Tree Dao patterns laid down earlier by the Spirit Martial Emperor, even by Venerable Lord Lu!'

He could not pinpoint an exact location, only vaguely sensing the source of that power!

For the source of this place is frenziedly siphoning the World Tree's power from Azure Abyss Heaven!

Boom!

As the Azure Abyss Emperor locked down this place,

In this region of the Southern Star Sea, an incredibly terrifying Divine Radiant River erupted, shooting up into the heavens, encompassing tens of millions of li of starry sky.

For a moment, heaven and earth trembled; the Azure Abyss Emperor's willpower enveloped all, like divine punishment descending.

Numerous powerhouses stared in shock at the starry sky, faces filled with astonishment: 'Your Majesty the Emperor, what transgression have we committed?'

Heaven and earth remained silent.

Next, the Azure Abyss Emperor again examined the Azure Abyss Heaven Star Chart, his gaze pointing directly to the Northern Starry Sky.

His hand's Spiritual Secret shifted, and brilliant starlight flashed forth, making the Northern Starry Sky blaze with intense radiance.

The terrifying willpower prowled everywhere, seeking to discern a 'breach' in this realm of heaven and earth from the fluctuations of the World Tree's power.

Qingqiu, clad in a plain white robe, stood firm in the void; a breeze lifted her hair, her peerless grace, while Wuwo beside her slightly furrowed his brows: 'The Azure Abyss Emperor has finally discovered it!'

The Azure Abyss Emperor's divine power swept past Qingqiu and Wuwo, regarding them as ants, then vanished in an instant.

After the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, the Azure Abyss Emperor demarcated a region of tens of millions of li of starry sky; within it lay the power of the World Tree Dao patterns activated by Qingqiu and Wuwo.

Hiss!

Another Divine Radiant River surged forth from this region of starry sky.

One to the south, one to the north, they balanced each other, forming a pattern.

Within Qingming Tiangong, that dense star chart also began to flicker.

Everyone's expression grew solemn.

Bai Loulan and the Black Wood Elder came directly before the star chart and observed: 'The Spirit Martial Emperor is exploiting the tide of heaven and earth! The will of Azure Abyss Heaven is being stripped away! This is a matter of great importance, extremely perilous!'

The Azure Abyss Emperor gave a faint nod, his Dharma Aspect Body again employing the Supreme Secret Technique, anchoring the Western Starry Sky Border.

Not long after.

Hiss!

Another terrifying Divine Radiant River shot up into the heavens.

Ji Fuyao, her crimson long skirt slightly billowing, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, looked at Ye Chen: 'As Master said, it's indeed true—the Azure Abyss Emperor has finally discovered the World Tree Dao patterns of this place.'

Ye Chen said, 'But there's nothing he can do. Let him be strong, let him be strong.'

After another half day, the Azure Abyss Emperor's Dharma Aspect Body was withdrawn with a boom, returning to his true form within Qingming Tiangong.

He traced three points on the Azure Abyss Heaven Star Chart, forming a three-pointed star shape, and he directly sneered.

Bai Loulan said, 'Such heaven-defying array patterns were perhaps laid down during the Spirit Martial Emperor's peak.'

Heze Zhanglao said, 'I never expected that upon entering Azure Abyss Heaven, the Spirit Martial Emperor regarded the Dao Source Fruit as secondary; the true purpose is these World Tree Dao patterns! This is an attempt to erode Azure Abyss Heaven.'

The Azure Abyss Emperor sneered incessantly, 'Not just erosion? The Spirit Martial Emperor's appetite knows no bounds.'

The sound fell silent!

His hand descended upon the Eastern Starry Sky Border!

A four-pointed star shape appeared!

The Azure Abyss Emperor coldly said, 'This is to completely devour my Azure Abyss Heaven!'

East!

Bai Loulan pointed at this place, 'Then the Spirit Martial Emperor will surely act here!'

Indeed, the forces of the four directions seek to anchor my Azure Abyss Heaven and drag it into Weiyang Heaven. But she has lost. The Azure Abyss Emperor's lips curled slightly: 'This is not due to the Spirit Martial Emperor's strategic failure, but before absolute strength, her schemes are meaningless.'

Heze Zhanglao said in a deep voice, 'Your Majesty, why not directly charge into the Eastern Starry Sky Border and slaughter all living beings? I do not believe the Spirit Martial Emperor can hide...'

He hadn't finished speaking when the Azure Abyss Emperor flicked his sleeve.

Boom!

Heze Zhanglao was directly blasted away by a tremendous force, heavily striking the Grand Hall Jade Pillars and spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

Your Majesty you...

Azure Abyss Emperor coldly turned his head, "The Deceit Palace and Gu Origin Heaven have taken nearly half of the heavenly domain; I have endured. You want to lay down your own Dao markings, I have endured. If you are doing things in the Azure Abyss Heaven, yet still need the Deceit Palace to point and direct, does my Azure Abyss Heaven bear the surname 'Gui' or the surname 'Gu Yue'?!"

The voice fell, like thunder, each word striking the eardrums of Heze Zhanglao and Bai Loulan.

Both lowered their heads.

It was their overreach!

How the Azure Abyss Emperor acts is not for them to point and direct!

The atmosphere on the field turned bitterly cold.

The Azure Abyss Emperor's awe-inspiring power was as deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, sweeping over the entire field.

After a moment, the Azure Abyss Emperor issued an order: "Situ Zhen!"

"Your Majesty, this old servant is present!"

The strongest commander of the Azure Abyss Army, Situ Zhen, slowly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Azure Abyss Emperor.

"You may now summon the Azure Abyss Army! In half a day, lead the Azure Abyss Army to charge into the eastern starry frontier!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor's voice was full of killing intent.

"As you command!" Situ Zhen said.

The Azure Abyss Emperor looked at Sun Qinghou, "Follow Situ Zhen and go together! Your people are already in that starry expanse; have them seal off the starry expanse and begin slaughtering stars!"

Slaughter the stars!

In the end, the Azure Abyss Emperor still accepted Heze Zhanglao's suggestion.

Mercy has no place in ruling the Azure Abyss Heaven!

The starry border is nothing but ants; kill them if you wish!

Soon.

Situ Zhen, Sun Qinghou, and the others walked out of Qingming Tiangong to carry out the Azure Abyss Emperor's order.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Situ Zhen's military token flashed in all directions, and immediately the urgent sound of drums resounded between heaven and earth, like a sudden downpour.

"Beat the drums, advance!"
