Chapter 1144

Azure Abyss Emperor, your opponent is me.

Qi Chun Jing's voice was very calm, but the blade domain under his feet grew ever fiercer, flowing like an endless river, the heavens and earth a vast, boundless expanse.

He stepped toward the Azure Abyss Emperor, the heavy armor on his body clanging, the Li Zhu long blade in his hand blazing fiercely, the flood dragon aura on its blade surging wildly, turning an eerie scarlet.

Boom!

Before either had moved, just the collision of their Dao Resonances erupted in a terrifying roar in the starry sky, like two Spiritual Weapons clashing.

Blue and white divine radiance scattered down, then vanished.

Seeing this, everyone was utterly shocked.

The two top experts in the starry sky were terrifying beyond measure; the gap between a half-step Dao Lord, a figure standing at the pinnacle of the heavenly domain, and the Dao Void Realm was as vast as heaven and earth.

Within the Emperor Fall Star, many elders of the Heaven-Burying Alliance let out a sigh of relief.

General Qi Chun Jing can completely hold off the Azure Abyss Emperor!

Lord Lu Zun merely needs to assist the Spirit Martial Emperor in refining the World Tree Dao Patterns.

Outside the formation, Situ Zhen stands firm in defense!

At this moment, Lu Xuan had already stepped into the heart of the formation, slowly walking toward Yang Ling'er.

Yang Ling'er's jade hand continually formed seals; the World Tree Dao Patterns beneath her feet kept flashing, she needed not only to activate the patterns here but also to fuse all the patterns together.

Time was pressing, her pressure was immense!

Lu Xuan gave a light smile, 'Ling'er, don't be nervous.'

His large hand slapped directly onto Yang Ling'er's jade back, only then noticing she was drenched in fragrant sweat.

Hiss!

Lu Xuan communicated with the World Tree; in an instant, Yang Ling'er felt the speed of the patterns' surge increase dramatically.

Thank you, Master.

Yang Ling'er said, biting her lip.

Lu Xuan nodded, 'Carefully perceive the power of the World Tree, calm your mind.'

Yang Ling'er's snowy neck tilted slightly; with her master beside her, she felt an unprecedented tranquility, temporarily forgetting the battle in the hall, the Azure Abyss Emperor in the starry sky, and focusing entirely on merging with the World Tree.

She entered an extraordinarily strange state.

On her person, the yin and yang Dao Resonances began to turn, constantly entwining!

And at that moment, above the void.

The Azure Abyss Emperor stared fixedly at Qi Chun Jing, a flame rising in each of his eyes.

The power of the One-Heart Seeking Death Gu boiled up invisibly; golden Gu Dao Resonance wandered through his limbs and bones, his intent to seek death becoming ever more surging.

The Azure Abyss Emperor felt a dry heat and incredible excitement!

Battle intent!

Never die, never rest!

Last time, in his fight with Qi Chun Jing, he had only managed a draw, but that was because he had not merged his body with the Gu.

But now is not the past.

He had already used a third refinement method to melt the Nine-turn Battle Gu into his body!

Man and Gu as one, man in Gu, Gu in man!

From then on, his thirst for battle grew daily, yet in the entire Azure Abyss Heaven, there was not a single worthy opponent!

Situ Zhen, famed as the second person of Azure Abyss Heaven, is no match for him in a single clash!

Thinking of this, the Azure Abyss Emperor's face showed a hint of a feral smile.

Qi Chun Jing holds a human sword in his hand, but he has the Nine-turn Battle Gu in his!

Since he set this trap, he naturally has full confidence, able to slay both Qi Chun Jing and Lu Xuan here!

He stared fixedly at Qi Chun Jing, then suddenly furrowed his brow slightly.

Only because the Void Passage behind Qi Chun Jing had not been closed!

The next instant.

Boom boom boom!

A towering battle intent surged from the Void Passage, followed by endless shouts.

Commander Zhang Liao and the others led the Weiyang Army straight out, like a vast flood, their momentum towering.

Fang Yuan was also among the crowd, gazing down at the Emperor Fall Star, seeking Lu Xuan's position.

At this moment, spatial rifts appeared one after another not far from Zhang Liao and the others.

Hiss hiss hiss!

Divine Light towered!

In the ears of Zhang Liao, Fang Yuan, and the others came Lu Xuan's voice: 'In the Hidden Valley, Situ Zhen and they cannot withstand; go support them.'

Yes, sir!

Zhang Liao and the others shouted loudly.

On Fang Yuan's stunning face, the coldness faded, replaced by excitement.

I'll get to see Lord Lu Zun again!

Qi Chun Jing gave Zhang Liao and the others a slight nod, 'Go.'

Commander Zhang Liao held his spear, pointing it at the Emperor Fall Star, 'Kill!!!'

The shout shook the heavens!

A multitude of Weiyang soldiers had divine rainbows surge beneath their feet as they charged toward the Emperor Fall Star; thick divine light towered like meteors falling, in an instant killing intent was like a sea, battle intent mighty.

Fang Yuan's long robe billowed slightly, her jade feet light as she was about to leave, when the Azure Abyss Emperor suddenly spoke.

Are you that Fang Yuan?

It's only because Fang Yuan is too conspicuous among the many Everlasting Army!

Her body's Nine-turn Fate Gu is too flamboyant; likewise, golden Divine Light overflows her body surface, Dao Resonance abundant, as if a blazing furnace is hidden within her body, extremely overbearing.

"What do you mean?"

The Azure Abyss Emperor tightly furrowed his brows, a flash of lightning crossing his mind.

He had always suspected that Gu Yue Laozi had done something to this Nine-turn Battle Gu, but after investigating for years he found nothing amiss, and only then did he refine it into his body.

Fang Yuan carefully observed the Dao Resonance of the Gu inside the Azure Abyss Emperor's body, and her words were astonishing.

"What's inside your body doesn't seem to be a Battle Gu!"

The Azure Abyss Emperor snorted coldly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

He could believe that Gu Yue Laozi had tampered with the Nine-turn Battle Gu, but he would not believe it was some other Gu.

Its battle intent cannot be fake!

His heart was caught in a heavenly-human struggle, but in the end his doubts prevailed.

You'd better explain yourself clearly, Fang Yuan.

The Azure Abyss Emperor threatened.

Fang Yuan's expression returned to that of an iceberg, and she said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"

She turned and left directly, her jade feet moving lightly, a golden divine radiance staircase extending toward the Emperor-fallen Star.

The Azure Abyss Emperor watched Fang Yuan's retreating back, his gaze intimidating, brows tightly furrowed, as if pondering this question.

In the distance, Zhang Liao led the Everlasting Army as they had already slain their way to the front of the defending Azure Abyss Army.

Numerous Everlasting Army soldiers' eyes instantly turned scarlet.

In their hearts, these Azure Abyss Army troops were nothing but traitors, betraying the Everlasting Heaven and betraying the Spirit Martial Emperor.

"Kill them!"

Zhang Liao gripped his long spear; with a single sweep, his spear-light turned into the heavens, then into a long river.

"Hiss!"

An Azure Abyss Army commander's head flew straight out.

Instant kill!

The Everlasting Army directly turned into a surging flood that crashed forth; the lethal force in the field surged tumultuously, almost overturning the heavenly gates.

In the crowd, Fang Yuan arrived gracefully, her jade hand lightly falling.

The vital energy of the Nine-turn Fate Gu surged outward, directly blasting the Azure Abyss Army soldiers before her into powder.

In an instant, the Everlasting Army advanced with unstoppable force, pushing sideways toward the Emperor-fallen Star.

Above the starry sky, Qi Chun Jing waited at leisure, looking toward the Azure Abyss Emperor, "Shall we fight or not? I would be happy to wait here for the Spirit Martial Emperor's victorious report."

The qi of the Nine-turn Fate Gu surged outward, instantly blasting the Azure Abyss Army soldiers before her into powder.

In an instant, the Everlasting Army advanced with unstoppable force, driving sideways toward the Emperor-fallen Star.

Above the starry sky, Qi Chun Jing waited at ease, gazing at the Azure Abyss Emperor and saying, "Shall we fight or not? I'd be happy to wait here for the Spirit Martial Emperor's triumphant news."
