Chapter 1340: The Three-Minute Emperor (Second update, requesting everything)

Rumble—

The golden bead was the first to collide with the energy, instantly exploding; a massive amount of Sun True Fire surged forth, but it only managed to weaken the offensive slightly.

Following closely, the energy erupted once more, but judging by the situation, even though Bodhi King had exhausted all his means, he remained suppressed and was inevitably at a disadvantage.

The next moment, the Azure Phoenix rushed out from the energy tide; Bodhi King looked somewhat disheveled, vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered in even more wounds.

His Demon Pet was also heavily injured, but it was still some distance away from losing its combat capability.

"Charge out!"

Bodhi King's eyes were bloodshot; the Azure Phoenix beneath him seemed to transform into a light breeze, slightly adjusting its direction, and it looked as though it was about to break through the encirclement.

Li Zhangsheng directed his Demon Pets to launch attacks while sensing that the aura belonging to Phoenix Emperor in the distance was drawing closer, all while distracted by maintaining constant contact with Wudi, who was located in Flame Canyon.

Li Zhangsheng was confident he could finish off Bodhi King quickly, but he still held back two parts of his strength, letting Bodhi King fall into a state of severe injury without ever delivering the killing blow.

The reason was simple: Li Zhangsheng was baiting Phoenix Emperor.

Now that Phoenix Emperor was no match for Li Zhangsheng, how could he pass up the chance to go fishing? He believed Phoenix Emperor had no choice but to come; in any case, it was impossible for her to abandon Bodhi King.

Of course, once Human Emperor broke free from Flame Canyon, Li Zhangsheng would immediately finish off Bodhi King, stop 'caring' about Phoenix Emperor, and would sneak back to Flame Canyon at the first opportunity to rendezvous with Wudi.

The battle continued; after a few breaths, Bodhi King couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, as all five of his rear-guard Demon Pets had fallen, leaving his Consciousness Sea in a state of violent oscillation.

With this, Bodhi King was left with only three Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, and they had all been severely injured as well.

"I cannot die, I must survive!"

Bodhi King's heart was as cold as ash, yet he stubbornly and with Unyielding resolve resisted the offensive, while simultaneously closing the distance to Phoenix Emperor rapidly.

The distance shortened rapidly; crucially, Phoenix Emperor also sensed Bodhi King's state and, using some unknown Secret Technique, greatly increased her speed. He believed that in less than a minute, the two sides would converge.

It was at this moment that a golden rainbow rushed in from behind; it was Ning Bizhen riding the Two-Legged Golden Crow. She had just been contending with the five rear-guard Demon Pets of Bodhi King and had come to provide support after finishing them off.

Misfortunes never come singly; Bodhi King's heart was sinking to the bottom. He seemed to have discovered Li Zhangsheng's intent, but he was unwilling to believe it, still clinging like a drowning man to the last straw, steadfastly closing the distance to Phoenix Emperor.

Half a minute later, Bodhi King was on his last breath; those two Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets in the blood-burning state had been focused down and killed, leaving only the Azure Phoenix with a single breath remaining.

The scarred Azure Phoenix had a severely sunken chest and abdomen, and one wing had been nearly severed at the root, which greatly affected its speed.

Bodhi King's Consciousness Sea was surging abnormally; he could only suppress his Consciousness Sea with all his might, barely able to provide any help to his Demon Pets, or even utilize his Strange Treasure.

It was at this moment that a fiery red figure entered his sight.

Seeing this figure, the exhausted Bodhi King seemed to see hope for survival, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dim eyes.

"No need to hold back anymore, kill him!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, Day and Night controlled the two light swords, slashing toward Bodhi King from the left and right.

Bodhi King hurriedly had the Azure Phoenix move to the side, but the Azure Phoenix was already at the end of its rope; how could it possibly dodge?

Bodhi King could only throw out another golden bead, which collided with the black light sword; the intense Sun True Fire erupted once more, barely neutralizing the black light sword. The remaining milky-white light sword continued to hack down; Bodhi King had to dodge in a disheveled manner, but the Azure Phoenix beneath him suffered for it.

Chirp—

The Azure Phoenix felt a sharp pain in its back and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry; unable to bear it any longer, it looked as though it was about to fall from the sky.

Dozens of miles away, Phoenix Emperor's expression changed abruptly, and she hurriedly urged the Red Phoenix beneath her to continue accelerating.

After the Phoenix died, Human Emperor had gifted her a Phoenix corpse, which allowed her to possess the Red Phoenix, though it could never be compared to a true Phoenix.

Before the Azure Phoenix could fall, Kailan slashed down with a sword, and a bird's head went flying; the Azure Phoenix's slender neck was severed directly.

If he had been in his prime, the death of a Life-Bound Demon Pet might not have killed Bodhi King, but since all of Bodhi King's Demon Pets had fallen, how could he possibly withstand the backlash?

Of course, Li Zhangsheng still did not let him go; the Biluohuangquan Twin Swords, like dancing swimming dragons, opened a bloody hole in Bodhi King's chest and abdomen, nearly cutting him in half at the waist.

Bodhi King lowered his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with despair, fear, pain, and unwillingness. He never imagined that having just stepped onto the pinnacle of the pyramid, he would be killed by Li Zhangsheng so quickly.

All told, Bodhi King had only been an Emperor for three minutes; such a short time absolutely broke the record of the Fairy World, and even precluded the possibility of anyone coming after him. It nailed him firmly to the pillar of shame.

"Ah, how could I possibly die!"

Bodhi King let out a loud cry, and then there was no more sound.

With the fall of Bodhi King, the Fairy World was once again filled with strange phenomena.

The entire Fairy World seemed to experience a violent earthquake; countless bloody rain fell from the sky, and a mournful sound like a funeral bell echoed through heaven and earth, plunging the entire world into endless sorrow.

At this moment, countless people were watching this scene.

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, strange phenomena also appeared.

"Wendi has fallen?"

"Sigh, it's time to pick a side!"

"The trend favors Human Emperor; let's defect to Human Emperor."

In the Hall of Ten Thousand Kings, the Kings and Double-Character Kings had not left; they all cast their gazes toward the nine Emperor thrones at the very front. Because Wendi had previously been hunted by Human Emperor, they subconsciously assumed that it was Wendi who had fallen this time.

"No, it's not Wendi!"

"Look at Bodhi King's throne, it can't be!"

When they saw the throne belonging to Bodhi King rapidly turning gray, these Kings could not stop the shock in their hearts. They never expected that the object of their envy just a moment ago would fall at such an unexpected speed. It was too fast—so fast they couldn't accept it.

At this moment, a character appeared on Bodhi King's graying throne—'Sorrow'!

This was the Emperor title bestowed upon Bodhi King by the Heavenly Dao, which meant Bodhi King had become Aidi; did the single word 'Sorrow' sum up Bodhi King's ending?

From ancient times to the present, there had never been an Aidi; Bodhi King could be considered one of a kind, though unfortunately, it was a derogatory term.

Besides the title Aidi, I fear that 'Three-Minute Emperor' and 'The Most Tragic Emperor in History' would also be left for Bodhi King by the people.

In Flame Canyon, Human Emperor's expression changed drastically; he did not want to continue the entanglement and began to retreat. As the ruler of the Mucang Empire, he could sense the distance between Li Zhangsheng and Phoenix Emperor.
