After all, Wu Dao's original body had not reached that stage yet. He was still unclear of the insurmountable gap between an Emperor and a Great Emperor.
However, he had already realized that although there was only a difference of one word between the two, the difference was like heaven and earth!
With Die Yue's ability, she could only be called a Demon Emperor. She had not reached the level of a Great Emperor.
Not to mention others, just the Bo Xun Monarch and the World Extermination Monarch from tens of millions of years ago, which one of them wasn't a brilliant and ruthless person whose name shook the world?
However, these Emperors did not reach that level in the end.
Wu Dao's original body had only heard of two Great Emperors since he started cultivating. They were the Chang Sheng Emperor and the Wu Ji Emperor.
Although the World Annihilation Demon Scripture was powerful and was said to be comparable to a Forbidden Secret Scripture, it had not reached the level of a Forbidden Secret Scripture.
This was because the World Annihilation Demon Emperor had not been able to take the last step to become a Great Emperor!
Sky Wolf had once said that there would only be one Great Emperor in an era.
There was only one Great Emperor!
Ever since the Chang Sheng Emperor had passed away, there had not been a Great Emperor for many years.
In this era, geniuses and demons had appeared. Even a powerful Emperor like Bo Xun had appeared and descended upon the human realm.
In this era, there were Bo Xun, Die Yue, and even more Emperors.
Just the number of Imperial Emperors in the Heaven Realm added together was at least 30!
Among the 3,000 realms, there were differences in strength. Some realms were weaker and might only have one or two Emperors.
Some realms were more powerful, like the Heaven Realm, and there were dozens of Emperors.
With so many Emperors added together, only one Great Emperor could be born in the end!
Wu Dao's original body did not know who among these Emperors would be able to rule the world, look down on all the Emperors, and create a new era!
He was far from reaching that level, but he knew that the distance between him and Die Yue was getting closer and closer.
One day, he would catch up with Die Yue's footsteps and walk side by side with her!
All these years, Wu Dao's original body had not gone to find Die Yue. There were many reasons for this.
Firstly, his cultivation level was not high enough.
Although he had entered the Real Martial Realm and attracted the Ten Heavenly Tribulations, he was still a True Demon.
Even if he went to find Die Yue, he would not be able to help. Die Yue might even look down on him.
He couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart either.
Secondly, he had founded the Heaven Barren Sect, and the matter here had not been completely resolved.
The Heaven Wasteland Sect only had one Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, who was relatively weak.
Thirdly, his Wu Dao had yet to be perfected.
Deducing and perfecting Wu Dao was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. The chances were slim.
When he saw Die Yue, his state of mind naturally changed. It was very difficult for him to put all his thoughts on deducing Wu Dao.
Wu Dao's main body didn't dare to be distracted!
If he could not perfect Wu Dao, his Great Dao would stop here. Even if he met Die Yue in the future, there would be nothing to be proud of.
Not to mention helping Die Yue and walking alongside her!
As Wu Dao's true body's thoughts were in a mess, Demoness Ji leaped into the coffin and gripped the gigantic black axe with both hands, wanting to lift it up.
"Yi — ya!"
However, even though her face was flushed red, the gigantic black axe remained motionless.
After a few attempts, her arms ached and she leaned against the inner wall of the coffin in exhaustion. Sliding down slowly, she waved her hands. "No, I can't lift it. Seems like you're the only one who can inherit the opportunity left behind by the World Devastation Fiend Emperor."
"Let me try,"
Wu Dao's true body said and leaped into the coffin as well. Gripping the handle of the gigantic axe with one hand, he exerted strength through his entire body, wanting to lift it up.
However, the gigantic black axe remained motionless, as though it was embedded at the bottom of the coffin!
"Hmm?"
Wu Dao's true body furrowed his brows slightly.
Even an Immortal King at lesser mastery of the Grotto-Heaven realm could not withstand his burst of strength and could not lift the gigantic black axe.
"You can't do it,"
Demoness Ji said with a chuckle with a mocking expression.
Wu Dao's true body took a deep breath of air and put away the black fiend diagram casually. Squatting down, he gripped the handle of the gigantic axe with both hands and raised it upwards!
Finally, the gigantic black axe moved slightly. However, it was barely lifted.
"How could this be?"
Wu Dao's true body was puzzled.
Even if it was an Emperor weapon from back then, the spirit consciousness within it would have long perished after tens of millions of years – there was no way it could have such a weight.
Right then, a black beam of light flew out from Wu Dao's true body's storage bag and landed on the handle of the gigantic axe.
It was a black fiend diagram formed from nine incomplete diagrams. At that moment, it wrapped around the handle of the gigantic black axe in circles …
The next moment, there was a boom!
The gigantic black axe flew up on its own and looked down from above. It was as though a fiend body that was a hundred thousand feet tall stood behind it.
The head of the body was faintly discernible in the clouds. A gigantic palm gripped the gigantic black axe and two ferocious glints burst forth from the clouds, locking onto Wu Dao's true body and Demoness Ji in the coffin!
Swoosh!
The gigantic black axe descended from the skies and cleaved down towards the two people in the coffin ferociously!
Before the axe blade descended, an unimaginable might had already enveloped the two of them!
The huge black axe had completely sealed off all of their paths of retreat!
Psst!
It was way too ferocious!
Against that axe, Wu Dao's true body felt a sharp pain in his flesh.
Demoness Ji could not withstand the pressure and spat out a mist of blood. Her expression darkened and her body went limp.
It was already too late for him to jump out of the coffin with Demoness Ji and escape this place.
With a single thought, the Hell Suppressing Tripod flew out from Wu Dao's glabella.
Wu Dao's true body flipped the Hell Suppressing Tripod over and pulled Demoness Ji under it.
At the same time, a series of crackling sounds could be heard from within his body.
Wu Dao's true body shrunk and curled up, giving Demoness Ji more than half of the space in the tripod.
It was as though it was fated long ago.
This scene was similar to the moment when the two of them encountered danger in Tianhuang Mainland.
Although there were no fiends in the coffin, the gigantic black axe clearly wanted their lives as well!
Furthermore, the two of them could not avoid it and squeezed together once more, curling up under the Hell Suppressing Tripod to hide in the coffin.
However, neither of them had any other thoughts this time round.
The power of the gigantic black axe wanting to kill them was far beyond what Wu Dao's true body could withstand.
What if the Hell Suppressing Tripod could not defend against it?
"Boom!"
The gigantic black axe cleaved down and struck the bottom of the Hell Suppressing Tripod with a deafening bang!
Wu Dao's true body did not have time to think and hurriedly reached out to cover Demoness Ji's ears!
The Hell Suppressing Tripod trembled violently and buzzed endlessly!
Wu Dao's true body shuddered and his ears hurt. Unknowingly, fresh blood seeped out!
Demoness Ji had a worried expression when she saw that and instinctively reached out to cover the ears of Wu Dao's true body tightly.
The two of them exchanged glances.
Both of them knew that if the gigantic black axe continued cleaving down, they would be killed by the impact even if the Hell Suppressing Tripod could defend against it!
"If only there was an underground river beneath this fiend lair."
Demoness Ji's thoughts ran wild.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, the reason why the two of them managed to escape alive was because they fell into the underground river when they hid in the stone coffin.
