Chapter 823: The Might of the Void Demon Emperor, Joining Forces to Resist the Enemy

After speaking, the chains on his body suddenly tightened, emitting a harsh metallic grinding sound. Those ancient Runes flickered wildly, seemingly struggling to maintain the Seal. But the giant gave a slight shake, and several chains snapped in response.

As the chains broke, the giant's aura surged. His pair of purple eyes became even brighter, and the dark power on his body became like substance, thoroughly dyeing the surrounding space black.

"This seat is named Void Demon Emperor, and once ruled an entire epoch," the giant said slowly. "Later, I was sealed by those fellows who thought themselves righteous, trapped in a Void Crack for a full million years. Now the Great Calamity is approaching, the power of the Seal has weakened, and this seat is finally able to break free."

He looked down at Lin Xuan: "Junior, considering you have some strength, this seat will give you a choice. Submit to this seat, or, die!"

Lin Xuan sneered: "I never submit to anyone. Want to make me bow my head? You aren't qualified enough!"

As his voice fell, he struck first. The Lun Hui Dao Fruit flew out from his sea of consciousness, hovering above his head and emitting a brilliant six-colored divine light. The power of the Six Paths of Lun Hui erupted simultaneously; the Heavenly Dao, Human Dao, Asura Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, and Hell Dao—six types of power fused perfectly, transforming into a divine light that destroyed the heavens and extinguished the earth, blasting toward the Void Demon Emperor.

Facing Lin Xuan's attack, the Void Demon Emperor showed a trace of disdain on his face. He raised his hand and waved, and endless darkness surged from his palm, condensing into a black barrier in front of him. The Six Paths of Lun Hui divine light slammed into the barrier, yet it only stirred up ripples, failing to break through it.

"Is this your full strength?" the Void Demon Emperor shook his head, "Too weak. This seat thought that the Emperor Realm powerhouses of this era would be how strong, but I didn't expect it to be nothing more than this."

He backhanded a strike, and the dark barrier instantly rebounded, transforming into countless black arrows that shot toward Lin Xuan, covering the sky and blocking the sun. Every arrow contained the power of the Void, capable of annihilating all existence. If struck, even an Emperor Realm powerhouse would suffer heavy injuries.

Lin Xuan dared not be careless; the Lun Hui Dharma Image waved its giant palms, setting up layers of defense in front of him. The Gate of Human Dao surged with the Qi Luck of billions of living beings, condensing into a golden barrier; the Gate of Heavenly Dao released vast righteous energy, forming a second layer of protection. But the power of the black arrows exceeded imagination, piercing through two layers of defense in succession, yet their momentum remained undiminished.

"Damn it!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, the Gate of Hell Dao opened wide, and countless vengeful spirits and ghosts surged out, forming a ghost wall in front of him. The black arrows shot into the ghost wall and were finally completely blocked. But those vengeful spirits also wailed incessantly under the attack of the arrows, their auras withering.

"You are quite good, being able to force this seat to attack continuously." A trace of interest flashed in the Void Demon Emperor's eyes, "It seems that although you, this Emperor Realm, only just broke through, your foundation is extremely solid. If you can survive, you will surely become a great talent in the future."

"It is a pity that you met this seat."

His figure moved, and he instantly appeared before Lin Xuan. He threw a punch, the force of which was like a black hole, wanting to swallow Lin Xuan whole. Lin Xuan had no time to dodge and could only brace himself to take the blow. The Lun Hui Dao Fruit emitted a blinding light, and the power of the Six Paths gathered in his palms to collide with that punch.

Boom—!

Terrifying energy fluctuations spread out, and the entire Lun Hui Star Domain shook violently. The stars below shattered one by one, turning into cosmic dust. If not for the Lun Hui Array being activated in time, I fear the entire star domain would have been destroyed in an instant.

Lin Xuan was sent flying ten thousand miles away, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He was shocked to discover that the strength of this Void Demon Emperor far exceeded his own estimates. Although the opponent had been sealed for a million years and his power had declined, he was still terrifyingly strong.

"This won't do, relying on my own strength alone, I fear I cannot defeat him," Lin Xuan thought to himself, "I must join forces."

He sent a voice transmission to the Nine Great Empresses: "Activate the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden Array and cooperate with me to fight the enemy!"

The Nine Great Empresses had long been prepared. Hearing the transmission, they immediately soared into the air, each occupying a position. Their auras connected, forming a massive array. The array activated, and nine pillars of light shot into the sky, condensing into a giant phantom of a goddess.

This goddess phantom was one hundred thousand zhang tall, holding a Long Sword, looking incomparably majestic. Although the Nine Great Empresses were only at the Sovereign Realm, under the enhancement of the array, the power they erupted with was already close to the Emperor Realm.

"Your Majesty, we have come to assist you!" Sima Xue shouted sharply, and the goddess phantom swung her sword; the sword light was like a galaxy hanging upside down, its power earth-shattering.

At the same time, Taixuan Heavenly Venerate, Xuanhuang Heavenly Emperor, and Zixiao Dao Ancestor also joined the fray. Although their strength was not as great as the Nine Great Empresses combined, they were also Supreme Realm powerhouses, and their coordination was not to be underestimated.

Seeing this scene, the Void Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise: "Interesting, there are actually helpers. However, what is the use of having many people? In the face of absolute power, everything is futile!"

The dark power on his body surged wildly, transforming into a million-zhang black giant dragon. The giant dragon roared and charged toward the goddess phantom; with a wave of its dragon claws, it shattered the sword light. Immediately after, its dragon tail swept across, heading straight for the three of Taixuan.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to strike, the Lun Hui Dharma Image appearing once more. This time, he unleashed the ultimate mystery of the Lun Hui Law—Space-Time Lun Hui. One could see countless timelines appearing in the Void, each timeline representing a possible future. What Lin Xuan had to do was choose the timeline most favorable to himself and make it reality.

This was a method only the Emperor Realm could unleash, requiring a deep understanding of the laws of space and time. Lin Xuan had just broken through and was not yet proficient in this move, but at this moment, he could not care about that.

The timelines changed constantly, and Lin Xuan searched for flaws within them. Finally, he found a timeline; on that line, there was a fatal weakness on the Void Demon Emperor—a wound from the Seal that had not yet healed at his heart.

"That's it!" Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately transmitted this discovery to everyone. "Attack his heart with all your might, there is a scar left by the Seal there!"

The Nine Great Empresses and the three of Taixuan heard this and immediately adjusted their offensive. The goddess phantom's Long Sword pointed straight at the Void Demon Emperor's heart, and the three of Taixuan also unleashed their strongest divine abilities to coordinate the attack.

The Void Demon Emperor's expression changed; he clearly had not expected Lin Xuan to be able to see through his weakness. He roared, and the black giant dragon coiled in front of him, forming a final defense. But the combined strike of the crowd was too powerful, and after holding on for a moment, the black giant dragon finally collapsed.

The sword light and divine abilities slammed into the Void Demon Emperor's heart; that sealed wound instantly split open, and blood gushed out like a spring. The Void Demon Emperor let out a miserable shriek, and his aura withered instantly.

"Damn it... you actually dare to... wound this seat..." He glared at Lin Xuan, his eyes full of killing intent. "This seat will remember you, junior. We shall settle this account another day!"

After speaking, his figure flashed, and he dove back into the Void Crack, disappearing from sight. The crack closed along with him, as if it had never appeared at all.
