Chapter 252: White Bone Demon Emperor

The strike from these two Demon Lords affected a range of hundreds of millions of miles; the entire Minghuang was trembling violently, and even within the Void, the phantom of a surging, pitch-black river appeared, churning up intense splashes of water.

"Thud, thud, thud..."

The massive phantom of Demon Lord Heitian strode forward amidst the light of the explosion, his black curved blade slashing down once more.

The golden light of the Demon Eye behind Demon Lord Youtong flickered, releasing a dense crimson glow from its pupil that enveloped her true form like a red moon, blocking the black blade shadow while she retreated rapidly.

Every time Demon Lord Heitian slashed down, the Demon Eye would dim by a fraction; after seven or eight slashes, only a pale golden phantom of the Demon Eye remained.

By this time, dozens or even hundreds of sharp black lights had enveloped the two of them, as if a group of invisible ghosts and gods were brandishing powerful weapons and attacking them frantically.

Although this type of attack did not seem very threatening, as the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant; as these black lights grew more numerous, sweeping in like a tornado that filled the sky, even Demon Lord Heitian, who had already firmly gained the upper hand, had to slow his offensive, roaring as he swung his massive black curved blade to deal with these lingering battle intents and killing intent.

"Youtong, is this your method for trying to deal with me? It's a pity that these fellows have been dead for several epochs; to me, it's about the same as a tickle."

The thunderous voice of Demon Lord Heitian resounded through the heavens and earth amidst the roar of battle, while the curved blade in his hand slashed wildly in all directions without pause, causing a large amount of black light to be scattered and vanish, turning into terrifying explosions.

Demon Lord Youtong did not speak; at this moment, the Demon Eye phantom behind her had completely vanished, and she could only rely on the strength of her true form to circle around these black lights.

Xu Chen felt as if he were a tiny ant watching a battle between demon gods.

The battle between the two great demon heads had far exceeded his imagination and range of perception.

The entire world was shrouded under an aura that collided as violently as steel, with not a single inch of space left to hide.

However, from beginning to end, a faint red light had kept him and the Shell phantom enveloped within it.

That was the demonic energy shield released by Demon Lord Youtong.

But this protection caused him to lose the ability to move independently, and he could only tumble incessantly amidst the violent collision of auras, like a firefly lost in a gale and giant waves.

Slowly, Xu Chen discovered that his position was gradually deviating from the center of their battle, moving and drawing closer to the rear of Demon Lord Heitian.

While resisting the black light battle intent that surged in like a tide, Demon Lord Heitian still had the spare energy to continuously pursue Demon Lord Youtong, slashing a blade at her from time to time.

Meanwhile, Demon Lord Youtong kept flickering and dodging rapidly, appearing to have no power to fight back, looking utterly disheveled.

The range affected by their battle grew larger the more they fought, with a single step covering hundreds of miles.

The Void had already merged with the heavens and earth, and the sky was filled with the light and shadows of their flickering battle.

Swept up in the aura of their clash, Xu Chen followed along like a wake, constantly shifting his battlefield and direction.

Closer... even closer...

Xu Chen discovered he was getting closer and closer to the phantom of Demon Lord Heitian, just like a firefly, trailing behind the back of Demon Lord Heitian's head, with the distance now no more than a hundred zhang.

At this point, there was no need for a reminder from Demon Lord Youtong; he began to communicate with the Blue Light Treasure Bottle with all his might.

And this time, the resistance from the Blue Light Treasure Bottle was particularly clear and intense, as if it were extremely averse to Xu Chen's idea.

In truth, after seeing the strength of Demon Lord Heitian, Xu Chen was equally anxious.

Such an unprecedented, terrifying great demon head was not like the Mysterious Water Nether Lotus that had only a wisp of a remnant soul left in storage.

He worried that even if he managed to force Demon Lord Heitian inside, the Blue Light Treasure Bottle might not necessarily be able to suppress him completely.

At present, inside the Blue Light Treasure Bottle, a large amount of Blue Starlight was gathered around the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Stele, forming a massive starlight vortex that wrapped around it, seemingly in the midst of a large-scale fusion.

In other words, most of the power of the Blue Light Treasure Bottle was currently being used to suppress the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Stele.

It seemed there was no spare power to subdue Demon Lord Heitian.

Time passed quickly.

The battle between Demon Lord Heitian and Demon Lord Youtong continued violently, and the range affected by the battle grew ever larger.

The entire Huanggu Zhanchang was collapsing under the terrifying impact.

A broken phantom in golden armor slowly condensed and appeared from the ground that had turned into dust, resembling an ancient demon god standing between heaven and earth.

At the same time, an irresistible, terrifying aura seemed to be awakening from beneath the ground.

"Are the Demon Race not yet extinct?"

The golden armor phantom stood blankly in the middle of the battlefield and let out a long sigh, raising a broken phantom of a long blade high, seemingly sensing the strength of the enemy, and slashed down toward Demon Lord Heitian.

"You're already dead, why run out? This Lord will send you on your way again!"

The thunderous voice of Demon Lord Heitian rang out between heaven and earth, and the black curved blade in his hand erupted with light that pierced the Void, radiating an aura of destruction as it headed toward the golden armor phantom.

"Boom~"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, a black blade shadow cut the long blade in the golden armor phantom's hand like a hot knife through butter, then slashed heavily onto the phantom's body.

"Ugh, such strong power..."

The golden armor phantom let out another long sigh; the massive figure broke apart at the chest, toppled over, and dissipated into golden dust that filled the sky.

"Youtong, even if you awaken these Primordial Divine Generals, you cannot stop your death!"

Demon Lord Heitian strode forward, the curved blade in his hand raised once more and slashed down, a pitch-black light tearing through the heavens and earth.

The Demon Eye phantom behind Demon Lord Youtong emerged once again, opened, and a blood-colored light like a setting sun shrouded and illuminated the battlefield.

"Boom~~"

The black light and red light collided heavily once more; the Void shattered, the earth collapsed, and the Huanggu Zhanchang suddenly sank, tearing open a bottomless Void Abyss.

Within the Void Abyss, rolling black light sprayed out.

A phantom of a white bone hand reached out from the Void Abyss, followed by a massive skeleton wearing a golden imperial crown, its eyes flashing with pitch-black light, emerging from the Void Abyss.

"Who has disturbed this Emperor's slumber..."

The low voice pierced through the firmament of heaven and earth, as if traveling across hundreds of millions of years of time and space, vibrating through the Huanggu Zhanchang.

"White Bone Demon Emperor?"

On the originally calm face of Demon Lord Heitian, a few traces of solemnity suddenly appeared; while slashing away the several strands of black light battle intent sweeping toward him, he let out a cold snort of surprise.

"Ugh, it is indeed this Emperor. And who are you, why have you awakened me? Could it be that another epoch war is about to begin?"

The skeleton phantom wearing the imperial crown climbed out of the Void Abyss, stood in the wasteland-like battlefield, and looked down at Demon Lord Heitian.

"Indeed, a new epoch is approaching, but you are already dead, so don't come out to join the fun. Continue sleeping well underground; perhaps there is still a chance for resurrection. Crawling out now, locked onto by the will of heaven and earth, there is only a dead end."

As Demon Lord Heitian spoke, surges of Black Mist billowed out from his body, and his illusory form actually began to slowly solidify into the appearance of battle armor, covering his entire body tightly, resembling a black-armored demon god standing between heaven and earth.

"Then why did you awaken this Emperor?" the white bone phantom roared in anger.

"Because someone wants to borrow your power to kill me!" the curved blade in Heitian's hand pointed toward Youtong, who was suspended high in the Void.

The white bone phantom turned its head to look at Youtong; dark golden light flickered within its pitch-black eye sockets, staring fixedly at the demon eye phantom behind her, and after a moment of silence, it said, "It is actually the rare Ancient Demon Bloodline of the Eight Greats, but no one can utilize a slumbering Demon Emperor for the sake of personal grudges and slaughter; you must die!"

As it spoke, the white bone phantom reached out a large hand toward Youtong.

The ink-colored eye behind Youtong released a brilliant blood-colored radiance, but under the white bone hand, the blood-colored light continuously collapsed and retreated.

"Hahahaha, Youtong, enjoy your Demon Emperor feast!" Heitian laughed toward the sky.

"You must also die!"

The white bone phantom suddenly turned its head to glance at Heitian, and another large white bone hand pierced through the Void, arriving before Heitian in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, a mere remnant soul of a Demon Emperor, thinking you are so remarkable; since you are so impatient to die, this Monarch will send you on your way!"

The curved blade in Heitian's hand met the large white bone hand fiercely.

"Boom~"

The heaven and earth shook, and black and white light exploded.

Heitian retreated with large steps, each step shattering the Void, while one finger of the large white bone hand snapped inch by inch.

"Why have you not acted yet?"

In the mind of Xu Chen, who was tumbling and floating behind the back of Heitian's head like a firefly, the voice of Youtong suddenly rang out.

Xu Chen's expression turned bitter.

Although he had the protection of the Shell Light and the blood-colored barrier, and Heitian acting as a shield in front, his Soul was still being blackened by the impact of the aura from this battle, in which he could neither participate nor resist; if not for the rock-solid protection of the Blue Light Treasure Bottle, the mere vibration of the aura brought about by Heitian's retreat would have been enough to grind him into fly ash.

It was not that he did not want to act, but in reality, ever since he began to sense Youtong's intention to have him approach Heitian, he had been continuously communicating with the Blue Light Treasure Bottle, yet he had encountered unprecedented resistance of will and was completely unable to succeed.

This Blue Light Treasure Bottle resided in his Sea of Consciousness, seemingly wanting to borrow his body, constantly searching for suitable things to enhance its own strength and evolve.

Heitian was currently retreating steadily under the attack of the white bone phantom and seemed completely unaware of him; this was the best opportunity for him to strike.

And this should also be an unprecedented opportunity created by Youtong to deal with Heitian.

Once this opportunity was missed, the two of them would never be able to escape Heitian's pursuit.

Because although the situation before them appeared to show the white bone phantom holding the upper hand, Heitian had only sent a clone, yet it was already able to withstand the white bone phantom's attacks; if they waited for the true body to arrive, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, in his anxiety, Xu Chen sank his Divine Sense completely into the Blue Light Treasure Bottle, releasing his Divine Sense with all his might, crashing into the Blue Light Treasure Bottle like a tsunami, conveying his stubborn will to devour Heitian.

In order to achieve his goal, Xu Chen even began to disregard friend or foe, his Divine Sense surging like a tide into the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Stele, attempting to vie for control of the Heaven-Suppressing Divine Stele against the Blue Starlight.
