Chapter 1042: Azure Abyss Emperor battles Qi Chun Jing!

Fall back!

In an instant, the entire Azure Abyss Army began a violent retreat, leaving this stretch of heaven and earth to the Azure Abyss Emperor and Qi Chun Jing.

Sun Qinghou let out a breath of relief.

No need for them to fight!

Boom!

The Azure Abyss Emperor stepped toward Qi Chun Jing, surging with vast stellar power on his body, like a storm sweeping heaven and earth; the Nine Turns One Heart Seek Death Insect in his hand burst forth with brilliant golden light, transforming into a blazing sun that exploded. Moreover, the will of the Azure Abyss Heaven rumbled above his head like a great bell, piercing everyone's eardrums.

In the Azure Abyss Heaven, I am the Mandate of Heaven! And the only one!

A thread of death-seeking obsession silently merged into his limbs and bones, and the Azure Abyss Emperor felt a battle intent that pierced the heavens spreading throughout his body.

He had not yet merged the Insect into his body, but with the support of the Azure Abyss Heaven's will, his battle strength was sufficient!

Battle intent surged!

Single-mindedly seek death!

At that moment, Qi Chun Jing slashed down with a blade, directly ripping apart the heaven and earth before him, and the vast blade qi densely sealed the Inverted Hanging Mountain above.

Hiss—

The Inverted Hanging Mountain was now undergoing an anomaly!

Lu Xuan activated the World Tree Dao Patterns, drawing forth strands of power from within the World Tree; rich Dao Resonance continually surged out, and heaven and earth began to rumble.

This time, he not only activated the World Tree Dao Patterns here, but also linked the other three directional Dao Patterns together.

Once the Four Directions Grand Formation is formed, Yang Ling'er can thereby draw upon the power of the World Tree.

This is the refinement of Dao Patterns!

Based on this, Ji Fuyao, Ye Chen, and the others will slowly erode the other Dao Patterns of the Azure Abyss Heaven.

By then, the Azure Abyss Heaven will gradually slip from the Azure Abyss Emperor's control!

Once these Dao Patterns are activated, even one as strong as the Azure Abyss Emperor cannot erase them!

Just because.

Such Dao Patterns, fused with the World Tree, are even older by countless ages than those laid down by the Azure Abyss Emperor.

Boom—

Terrifying power of the World Tree surged forth, the Inverted Hanging Mountain began to emit brilliant Divine Light, and the Dao Patterns in the north, south, and west responded in kind.

Four Directions Heavenly Formation!

The Azure Abyss Emperor's spirit secret shifted in his hand, seeking to destroy that Dao Pattern!

But it was useless!

That Dao Pattern has already merged with the World Tree's power; unless the World Tree is destroyed, it cannot be annihilated!

The Azure Abyss Emperor's face turned unsightly, his surrounding divine power surged heavenward, and he struck down with a palm. This palm surged with vast heaven and earth, the world trembled, transforming into a golden palm imprint that slammed toward Qi Chun Jing, saying: "The former Spirit Martial Emperor once ruled the Endless Heaven, resisted the Deceitful Hall and the Insect Origin Heaven; I hold him in great awe and respect, but today he has actually become a marauder, despicable! To steal the treasures of the Azure Abyss Heaven is to lose the status of the lord of the Endless Heaven!"

Azure Abyss Profound Palm!

This is the Azure Abyss Emperor's signature palm technique.

Now, in the Azure Abyss Heaven, one can resonate with the will of the Azure Abyss Heaven; for a moment heaven and earth trembled, as if heavenly punishment, and the myriad heavens responded to his killing intent!

Moreover, with the support of the Nine Turns One Heart Seek Death Insect, his battle strength grew even stronger.

Boom boom boom!

A terrifying roar rumbled, as if the heavens were tilting.

The entire Eastern Star Sea Frontier felt a majestic might descend, and all beings felt their scalps go numb.

At this moment, Qi Chun Jing also moved; his Long Blade Black Pearl clanged, like clouds moving, emitting endless blade light, and he slashed down with a single blade, as if a red moon were falling.

Swish!

As the Long Blade Black Pearl fell, more and more stellar power poured into the blade!

The Dao Patterns on the Long Blade lit up one after another, the Flood Dragon Bloodline began to boil, and the resentment of ages turned into killing intent, appearing as an eerie crimson; the terrifying blade force poured outward like a vast sea.

Where Qi Chun Jing stood, blade qi rolled out, forming a vast ocean; he exerted force with his feet, and the blade domain began to extend outward, turning heaven and earth into a desolate expanse.

A strand of snow‑white blade qi shot straight at the Azure Abyss Emperor, slicing across the starry sky for millions of li!

Heaven and earth shone as bright as daytime.

Boom!

The Azure Abyss Emperor's palm imprint also fell at the same time; the two terrifying attacks collided, the blade intent and the two Great Dao contained in the palm seal intertwined and struck, instantly wearing down, and the Great Dao rumbled.

The white blade qi dissipated, and likewise the azure palm imprint shattered!

The two torrents began to disperse.

Again!!

The Azure Abyss Emperor gazed with contempt; in the Azure Abyss Heaven he had absolute confidence: "Today I will surely behead you! When the time comes, I will erect a great tomb for you!"

Next, the Azure Abyss Emperor unleashed another punch, even more terrifying; he mobilized the power of all Nine Turns Insect Creatures, golden light exploded outward, his Dharma Aspect form like a blazing sun detonating, leaving everyone unable to open their eyes.

The intent to seek death intertwined with the battle intent.

Battle, exhilarating!

No death, no rest; fight until heaven collapses and earth splits!

His whole body felt a tingling sensation; the Insect Dao Resonance flowed through his limbs and bones like lightning, and in a flash of impulse he wanted to fuse the Insect into his body now, but he forcibly restrained himself.

The Azure Abyss Emperor snorted coldly in his heart: "In my Azure Abyss Heaven, if I cannot behead Qi Chun Jing, wouldn't that be a laughingstock?"

At the same time, Qi Chun Jing struck another blade, its blade intent even more terrifying.

Blade intent soars to the heavens!

Man and blade as one!

Under his feet, for millions of li, the terrifying blade qi within the vast white blade domain all shot skyward, intensely cold, and infused into this blade.

It must be said, in Azure Abyss Heaven, the Azure Abyss Emperor's combat power increased several-fold!

「Boom! 」

This time, with the terrifying surge impacting the ten directions, Qi Chun Jing was directly shaken back by this immense force for hundreds of thousands of zhang!

The Azure Abyss Emperor snorted coldly, "I'll see how long you can hold out? Today, I will rewrite history!"

His huge hand stretched out toward the void.

「Azure Abyss Heaven Domain Map! 」

He let out a great roar, and an incomparably ancient star chart appeared above his head.

This is obtained by refining the many Dao patterns of Azure Abyss Heaven; using the great momentum of heaven and earth to suppress, it can draw upon Azure Abyss Heaven's power, transform it into an intangible will, and suppress the enemy.

In an instant, endless starlight poured down, and another domineering force appeared on the Azure Abyss Emperor's body; the will of Azure Abyss Heaven was wholly added to him, making his Dharma-phantom form even more terrifying!

This is a heaven-domain-level will!

Unmatched in strength!

This overwhelming Dao pressure directly bore down on Qi Chun Jing, seeking to suppress his blade Dao.

「Boom—! 」

Countless Dao patterns began to collide, and Qi Chun Jing's blade domain actually began to shrink!

Qi Chun Jing inserted his Long Blade Black Pearl into the starry sky, likewise summoned his Dharma-phantom form; the heavy armor rumbled, and rolling blade qi surged forth like a vast ocean.

His main task now is to protect the Spirit Martial Emperor!

In Azure Abyss Heaven, his Great Dao was suppressed.

Now we stand on the defensive, waiting to strike!

「Shatter it for me! 」

The Azure Abyss Emperor let out another great roar, and once again summoned a terrifying Spiritual Weapon.

「Hiss! 」

With a blinding Divine Light falling like a celestial river, an ancient stone tablet stood erect in the Divine Radiance Long River, emanating an awe-inspiring fluctuation.

「Heaven's Authority Divine Stele! 」
