Chapter 1489: The Oriole (First update, requesting everything)
Ning Bizhen held a phoenix-headed staff in her right hand and supported the Three Talents Lamp in her left; she wore a phoenix crown on her head, was draped in the Nishang Yuyi, and stood upon a twelve-petaled Kui Water Black Lotus, while the Three Lives Stone hovered above her head, dripping down the Qi of the netherworld and the Yellow Springs.
The Human Emperor narrowed his eyes, filled with intense killing intent; the quality of Ning Bizhen's equipment was in no way inferior to his own at this moment.
For the Human Emperor, as long as he killed Ning Bizhen, these treasures would naturally become his, and he would also be able to cut off one of Li Zhangsheng's arms.
Ning Bizhen resisted with all her might, but she was ultimately not Li Zhangsheng; although she possessed strength comparable to an Emperor, there was still a significant gap between her and the Human Emperor, and crucially, the Human Emperor had the assistance of a Divine Power avatar, so she had fallen into a disadvantage from the very beginning.
While the two were locked in a great battle, dozens of miles away, two figures shrouded in thick Karma hovered; they were none other than the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor.
The current Blood Emperor was truly worthy of the name, as the Karma on his body was far thicker than that of the Thunder Emperor.
These two had been deceived by the Human Emperor and had made an indelible "contribution" to breaking the gap in the Heavenly River, which was why they were stained with so much Karma; they were truly the "Wolong and Fengchu" of the current age.
Among them, the Blood Emperor had contributed the most.
When the Heavenly River gap was broken and the Karma descended upon him, the Blood Emperor finally realized he had fallen for the Human Emperor's scheme and had invited a great disaster, but before he could go and cause trouble for the Human Emperor, the other party had wrapped himself in the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag and run away, impossible to catch.
In order to eliminate the Karma, the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor wanted to stop the frantically pouring Heavenly River water, only to find that for some reason Ning Bizhen had come alone, and crucially, the Human Emperor had returned again.
The Thunder Emperor asked in a muffled voice: "Big Brother, what should we do?"
"We've suffered such a huge loss, what else can we do? Let's take him!"
"Let's do it!"
As soon as the Blood Emperor saw the thick Karma wrapped around his body that was almost impossible to dissolve, he felt filled with indignation, and his gaze toward the Human Emperor was full of Anger.
"Brother, the King of Ten Thousand Saints is powerful; if there is an opportunity, take the chance to remove one of the King of Ten Thousand Saints' arms."
While rushing out together with the Thunder Emperor, the Blood Emperor secretly instructed the Thunder Emperor.
"Big Brother, is that really a good idea? Shouldn't the top priority be to drive away the Human Emperor and stop the Heavenly River water from backflowing into the mortal world?"
The Thunder Emperor stared with eyes as large as copper bells, as if he were seeing the Blood Emperor for the first time.
"The King of Taiyin possesses many Strange Treasures; aren't you greedy?"
This single sentence from the Blood Emperor immediately silenced the Thunder Emperor.
Compared to Ning Bizhen, the Thunder Emperor felt he was no different from a poor man; he only had two Langhuan Supreme Treasures at most, let alone Supreme Langhuan Treasures, so to say he wasn't greedy would be a lie.
However, just as they approached, a sudden change occurred.
Above the Heavenly River, space shattered, and a massive eight-clawed golden dragon lunged out, followed closely by the Three Emperors and the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
In an instant, the Three Emperors lunged at the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor, while the Four Seas Dragon Kings and several of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets lunged at the Human Emperor from all directions.
From the very beginning, this had been Li Zhangsheng's plan, with the goal of luring the snake out of its hole.
"Not good!"
The Human Emperor's expression changed abruptly, and he immediately recalled his Demon Pets and withdrew his Divine Power avatar at the fastest speed possible.
But even at his fastest, it still required a moment, not to mention that he was entangled by Ning Bizhen.
Ning Bizhen waved her phoenix-headed staff with her right hand, extending a lifelike phantom of the Ancestral Phoenix, which knocked the Ruyi Spear off course, causing it to land on the halo emitted by the Mysterious Yellow Precious Mirror.
As both were Supreme Langhuan Treasures, the Mysterious Yellow Precious Mirror naturally could not be shattered at a single touch, especially since the Ruyi Spear had already shed most of its force.
At this moment, Ning Bizhen blew at the Three Talents Lamp she held in her left hand, and the chaotic-colored flames upon it suddenly surged, transforming into a fiery dragon python that charged toward the Human Emperor with fierce momentum.
The Human Emperor hurriedly threw out the Ancestral Dragon Shield, which collided with the fiery dragon python, and they remained in a stalemate.
In this short span of time, the eight-clawed golden dragon appeared abruptly behind the opponent of the Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit and pinned it down with a Dragon Claw.
The Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit seized the opportunity to spray Ice Breath, hitting the opponent's vital points head-on and finishing it off in one blow.
Not far away, the four-clawed silver dragon and the Kunpeng, in coordination with the Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, also finished off their opponents in an instant.
The Four Seas Dragon Kings joined forces to besiege a Weak Divine Power avatar, and in the blink of an eye, they completely crushed it.
On the other side, Baitian and Heiye coordinated with the Two-Legged Golden Crow to besiege the Demon Emperor-rank Feilian.
Although the Demon Emperor-rank Feilian was strong, it could not fight off so many opponents, and it was fortunate that it excelled in speed; if it were determined to run, it would indeed be difficult to take down in a short time.
The opportunity was fleeting, but the Human Emperor finally managed to recall his remaining Demon Pets and Divine Power avatar, and with a spread of the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, he tried to shatter space and escape.
Suddenly, the Fire Phoenix, which had transformed from a phoenix hairpin, returned and struck the Ruyi Spear head-on.
The Ruyi Spear flew out of the Human Emperor's hand, and just as he wanted to recall it, the phoenix crown Ning Bizhen was wearing flew out, instantly growing larger and covering the Ruyi Spear like a lid.
The moment it was covered, the Human Emperor discovered that his connection to the Ruyi Spear had significantly weakened, and he could no longer control it remotely with ease.
At this time, the Four Seas Dragon Kings and Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets all charged toward the Human Emperor.
Above the Human Emperor's head, space shattered, and a massive dragon claw with eight toes reached straight toward him.
"Get lost!"
The Human Emperor shouted, the Ancestral Dragon Shield instantly swatted away the dragon claw, and with a roll of the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag, he shattered the void and disappeared.
The eight-clawed golden dragon did not pursue; the point was that even if it caught up, it could not win.
As for the Blood Emperor and the Thunder Emperor, when the Three Emperors lunged over, they dared not stay any longer and had long since run off without a trace.
"King of Taiyin, you should rest for a moment; leave this to us!"
Ning Bizhen nodded; in just this short time, her Mental Power had been depleted by more than half.
Not only that, her Secret Realm was filled with a large amount of Heavenly River water, which had almost submerged the land.
Even so, dealing with this Heavenly River water was very troublesome.
By the moment Ning Bizhen closed the entrance to the Secret Realm, the Four Seas Dragon Kings had already descended into the Heavenly River, their massive, winding dragon bodies swimming as they used their water-controlling power to form a vortex at the gap, forcibly pushing away the incoming Heavenly River water.
However, this was ultimately treating the symptoms but not the root cause; the Four Seas Dragon Kings could not stay here forever, and besides, they were not perpetual motion machines; there would eventually come a day when they grew tired.
The Three Emperors were not idle either; they returned directly to the lower realm and appeared in the Earth Realm where the Heavenly River was backflowing.
This was a small country, and at this moment, an area of a thousand miles had almost become a watery kingdom.
As Heavenly River water, even a King would risk falling if caught in it, let alone those who were not Kings; it could be described as a scene of devastation.
The Wudi sighed, and the book in his hand unfolded, immediately releasing countless massive fire birds and fire snakes that fell continuously into the Heavenly River water.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~
The next moment, countless water vapors rose; even though the Heavenly River water was not ordinary water, as long as the temperature was high enough, it still had no choice but to be evaporated.
"Collect!"
Wendi landed above, a blue gourd appearing in his hand, and countless streams of Heavenly River water flew out, being collected into the gourd.
The Azure Emperor quickly appeared in the downstream area and threw out an Inkstone.
The Inkstone instantly grew larger and covered downwards in reverse, while shrouding the Heavenly River water that was raging at the very top, it also resisted the Heavenly River water behind it.
At the same time, the Earth Element Demon Pets of the Three Emperors successively dug downstream, working together to block a large number of gaps.
Under the joint efforts of the Three Emperors, the range of activity of the Heavenly River water was restricted, and the water level was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
