Chapter 396: The Five Emperors' Chaotic Dance Turns Heaven and Earth into a Formation

Take this! King Qi forcefully swung the Heavenly Feather Fan in his hand, a swift wind swept, and several blood apes fell dead in response.

I'll help you! Gu Qingwan also executed the Phoenix Feather Soaring Technique, and the raging flames turned more blood apes into charcoal.

But the number of blood apes surging out was too great; even after slaying a batch, more blood apes kept surging up in layers.

Break!

Purple Lightning Elder shouted loudly, the Nine Nether Yin Staff fiercely struck the Blood Sea, an icy-blue yin-cold aura swept across the land, and blood apes that touched it froze into ice sculptures.

What strong ice-cold true qi! King Qi repeatedly praised.

With everyone working together, they finally repelled this wave of blood apes.

Everyone caught their breath, but they saw the Blood Sea's rolling waves, and several blood arrows shot out from within.

Be careful! Su Liyan whipped her long whip, sending the blood arrows flying.

Immediately after, dozens of blood basin mouths emerged from the Blood Sea, roaring as they lunged at everyone.

Stay away from me! King Qi forcefully swung the Heavenly Feather Fan, whipping up a hurricane that swept those blood mouths away.

Behold my Samadhi True Fire!

The Founding Ancestor took out a basin of red flames, lightly waved his hand,

The true fire turned into a fire dragon, burning to death all the blood mouths that lunged up.

Thank you all for saving us! Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan's faces turned pale,

Just as they were about to continue searching for Lu Yuan, they saw a new wave of attack surge from the Blood Sea.

They saw countless blood-red tentacles, like living things, crawl out of the Blood Sea, sprawling to fill the sky, and lunging at everyone.

Take this! Su Liyan fiercely flicked her long whip, the whip's shadow turned into blades, cutting off several leading blood thorns.

Gu Qingwan also unleashed a raging fire dragon, turning a large portion of the blood thorns into charcoal.

But soon new blood thorns surged forth.

Hahaha!

A gloomy voice echoed in the Blood Sea: "You insignificant ants, do you also want to break my Blood Sea Barrier?"

They saw a huge blood crown rise from the center of the Blood Sea, atop which grew a ferocious face.

So this Blood Sea is under your control! Purple Lightning Elder flared with anger.

Exactly! I am the Blood-Devouring Demon King, entrusted by others to guard this place, allowing no one to enter!

As the demon king spoke, the Blood Sea churned, sending ten giant blood waves surging straight toward everyone.

I'll block it!

Wandering Cloud Elder played the Virtue Sound Zither, the mighty sound waves swept forward, actually shaking the blood waves apart.

What a powerful sound-wave secret art! King Qi clapped in approval.

Let you witness my Nine Nether Cold Spring!

Purple Lightning Elder crossed his palms, an icy-blue light beam shot toward the demon king; after being hit, cracks appeared on the surface of the blood crown.

Damn it! Behold my Blood-Devouring Arrow Rain!

The demon king flew into a rage, the Blood Sea roiled, and countless blood arrows shot out from within.

Not good, there are too many! King Qi exclaimed in shock.

I command the eight directions!

Just as the arrow rain was about to arrive, eight huge Dharma Wheels suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking all the blood arrows.

How could this be? The demon king shrieked, and a white-clad figure appeared in the sky.

It's the Supreme Dao Ancestor! Upon seeing this, everyone erupted in cheers.

With the Supreme Dao Ancestor's aid, the demon king was finally defeated and vanished into the Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea also returned to calm, and only then were they able to find Lu Yuan again.

Lu Yuan saw the light of day again, and everyone's heavy hearts finally settled.

Next, they will continue to delve into the core of the Blood-Colored Barrier, facing even stronger demonic challenges!

After passing through layer upon layer of trials, Lu Yuan and company finally reached the deepest part of the Blood-Colored Barrier—the Five Emperors Altar.

They saw five high platforms scattered around the hall, each bearing a huge stone statue.

The outlines of these stone statues are clearly the Five Directional Emperors! Su Liyan exclaimed.

That's right,

the northern black Black Tortoise,

the southern vermilion Vermilion Bird,

the eastern azure Azure Dragon,

the western white White Tiger,

the central yellow stone statue should be the Yellow Emperor.

Purple Lightning Elder also nodded in agreement.

I wonder if our coming this time will anger these emperors? King Qi couldn't help but worry.

Rest assured, with our Supreme Dao Ancestor here, we can naturally resolve it. The Founding Ancestor soothed.

Everyone cautiously stepped into the Five Emperors Altar, fearing to disturb these divine statues.

However, just as everyone walked to the center, the five stone statues suddenly emitted dazzling light,

In an instant, five figures leapt out from within, their auras astonishing!

It turned out the Five Emperors had already descended as incarnate deities!

Insolent wretch, dare you trespass upon the land of the Five Emperors!

The leading Yellow Emperor shouted angrily, his voice filled with irresistible majesty.

The other four emperors also had ferocious expressions, their hostile energy surging to the heavens, not yielding in the slightest.

"We did not come to attack; we merely happened upon this place, and we hope you all will show mercy."

The Supreme Dao Ancestor stepped forward, performed a salute, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"How dare a mere trifling fish quibble?" the Eastern Azure Dragon Great Emperor roared angrily, and lightning flashed across the sky.

"Take this!" Immediately the Azure Dragon transformed into a bolt of lightning and swooped down.

"I'll handle it!" The Supreme Dao Ancestor dared not be careless, sealing the fierce thunder with both palms.

The other several emperors also launched their attacks: the Vermilion Bird spewed torrential flames, the Black Tortoise's mouth rolled with huge waves, and the White Tiger turned into a golden light that split the sky and assaulted.

"Everyone, join forces to respond!" Lu Yuan commanded.

Several people immediately split up to counter the Five Emperors' offensive.

Su Liyan summoned an ice wall to block the flames, then thrust her ice whip toward the Vermilion Bird's vital point.

Gu Qingwan then employed the Phoenix Dance, engaging in fierce combat with the Vermilion Bird in midair.

King Qi's Golden Light Body Protection stubbornly blocked the White Tiger's strike, then he retaliated with a reverse palm strike.

The Purple Lightning Elder activated Nine Nether True Qi to freeze the Black Tortoise's huge waves.

Several people barely withstood the first wave of the Five Emperors' attack, while the Supreme Dao Ancestor circulated Five Elements True Qi on the side, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Seeing that the ants were so troublesome, the Five Emperors all revealed ferocious expressions, obviously truly angered.

"I am the true form of the Black Tortoise; do not dare to stubbornly block my strike again!"

Only hearing the Black Tortoise's violent shout, countless water dragons surged from its body and rushed forward.

King Qi's Golden Light Body Protection had already been destroyed; just as he was about to be engulfed by the water dragons, a white light flashed, shielding him within.

It turned out that the Supreme Dao Ancestor was displaying Weiluo True Qi body protection!

"You monsters, why don't you retreat quickly? Your age has long passed!"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly shouted in anger, and his aura suddenly became several times more arrogant.

"Damn! How dare you be so disrespectful!" The Five Emperors were all provoked by his words.

The Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger three emperors instantly transformed into their most ferocious divine forms and attacked the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

At the critical moment, the Supreme Dao Ancestor suddenly expelled a mouthful of true qi!

Only hearing a loud "Boom—", the three emperors were actually overturned to the ground by this strong qi wave.

"How could this be!" The three emperors wept profusely.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor then pointed at the Yellow Emperor and said: "We have never had any grudge; why must we fight?"

The Yellow Emperor gave no reply to these words, yet his face showed a hint of hesitation. Evidently he still retained some respect for the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

"Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, hear my command and quickly return to your planes!"

The Yellow Emperor took a deep breath and let out a great shout. Only then did the three emperors' bodies tremble, their expressions return to calm, and they transformed into three rays of light that returned to their directions.

"Supreme Dao Master, true to your reputation; in this battle today, the Five Emperors owe you a favor!" (End of chapter)
