Demonic energy filled the skies.
Kui Lin stepped into the air, his murderous aura surging.
His eyes glowed with blood-red light, and waves of demonic energy enveloped everything within a hundred kilometers.
Amidst the surging Devil Qi, six rays of light of different colors flickered.
The Ocean Emperor was in the lead, while the six emperors of the Upheaval Alliance formed a rhombus formation around her. Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Pu Jingwan stood a hundred meters above them. A total of nine emperors formed a golden bell around Kui Lin.
This was definitely an unparalleled battle!
An Lu and Gu Li stood shoulder-to-shoulder a hundred kilometers away. Their two imperial emperor-level attendants surged with demonic energy, cautiously protecting them from harm.
"Will Big Brother Zichen come out?"
After An Lu woke up, it wasn't just Yang Jian and the Great Sage who were worried about Ye Zichen's safety. She was worried about him too.
Her face flashed with worry as she leaned against Gu Li and looked at the spatial ripples.
"I'm not sure."
Even though they'd sensed the battle below, Gu Li was still certain that Ye Zichen was still alive.
If he died, then as one of heaven's chosen emperors, Gu Li's Imperial Star and Celestial Fate would be bestowed upon Ye Zichen.
He didn't have the Emperor Star's Celestial Fate, which meant Ye Zichen was still alive.
But even now, Gu Li hadn't appeared. That meant Ye Zichen still hadn't obtained any good fortune from the mausoleum.
If nothing unexpected happened, he shouldn't have been the one to come out.
But at this point in time, if not him, who else could it be?
Kui Lin and the other emperors were sure it was Ye Zichen, or at least someone who'd obtained good fortune from the mausoleum. Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a standoff.
For a moment, Gu Li didn't know what was going on. All he could do was shake his head at An Lu.
"I hope nothing happened to Big Brother Zichen!"
An Lu clenched her fists, placed them against her chest, and silently prayed.
The Upheaval Alliance's emperors were still locked in a standoff with Kui Lin.
"You guys …."
Even Kui Lin's voice had changed. His voice seemed to come from all directions, swirling around the demonic energy.
He slowly raised his finger, and the surrounding Devil Qi was also affected by his movement, lingering around his palm.
"Do you really want to die?"
Bang!
A powerful spiritual pressure was released under his roar, and all the stones under this spiritual pressure were crushed to pieces. The demonic aura emanating from his body seemed to be tainted with the aura of death. The vegetation around the tomb was all withering under the envelopment of his demonic aura.
The Sovereign Emperor expert in the sky instantly released his divine power and surrounded himself with it.
No matter how the demonic aura around them howled and how the spiritual pressure surged, they did not retreat even half a step and stared straight ahead.
They could not retreat either!
Behind them was where the spatial ripples had appeared. It was highly likely that Ye Zichen would appear there. So long as they could act, they absolutely couldn't let anything happen to Ye Zichen.
"That guy is so fierce."
An Lu shrank back against Gu Li's chest in fear. They weren't within range of the demonic energy, but even so, the demonic energy still made her hands and feet go cold. She couldn't help but tremble.
"He is a demon emperor!"
Gu Li sighed. His words were filled with affirmation of Kui Lin's abilities.
"Can those people beat him?"
An Lu blinked. When Gu Li heard this, he glanced ahead once more.
Kui Lin's domain was a few hundred kilometers wide. If the Sovereign Emperors were within range, their strength would inevitably be suppressed.
Besides, Gu Li's cultivation wasn't all that high. At most, he was an emperor.
At his level, he had no way of understanding just how strong Sovereigns and Emperors were. He had no way of knowing whether or not the Ocean Emperor and the others were a match for Kui Lin.
Nine Sovereigns were enough to shake the foundations of the God, Yao, and Demon Realms, but Sovereigns were definitely existences who could blot out the sky with a single hand.
"I'm not sure either. Sovereigns are strong, but there's a qualitative leap between the Sovereign Realm and the Emperor Realm. A hundred diviners might not necessarily be a match for a ruler. As for Sovereigns and Sovereigns …. I'm not sure either. "
As he spoke, Gu Li glanced at the Venerable of Numinous Treasure.
He knew full well that in terms of experts, the Venerable of Numinous Treasure was the true expert. If he fought Kui Lin, he might not necessarily be at a disadvantage. In fact, he might even be able to suppress him. Of course …. That was assuming Kui Lin wasn't completely insane and didn't use any of his trump cards.
If Kui Lin really did stake everything on this one attack, Gu Li wouldn't be optimistic about his chances, even if the Venerable of Numinous Treasure fought him.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that the Venerable of Numinous Treasure didn't seem interested in attacking.
Aside from the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and An Lu, the Red Demon also watched the battle.
No one who'd entered the mausoleum could see his true intentions. He didn't fight for the transcendental good fortune, nor did he covet the treasures of the snowy mountain.
When the Ocean Emperor and the others left the mausoleum, he followed them without hesitation.
After emerging, he didn't leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, just as he'd been when they first saw him. No one knew what he was thinking or what he wanted to do.
Perhaps he wanted to stay and observe Kui Lin's strength. Or perhaps ….
He wanted to see who would get the good fortune within the mausoleum.
In short, when Kui Lin confronted the Ocean Emperor and the others, Gu Li acted like an indifferent spectator.
After that, Gu Li paid more attention to the little loli and the burly man, who'd attracted a lot of attention in the mausoleum. They were the ones who'd told him the way to the inner palace, and they'd shown him the real room. Most importantly, they were strong enough to raise eyebrows.
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't seem interested in the mausoleum's good fortune either. After leaving with the Ocean Emperor and the others, they didn't stay behind like the Red Demon. It was as if they weren't interested in the good fortune, and they didn't care who got it either.
As far as Gu Li could see, there was no longer any trace of these two eccentrics.
This trip down to the mausoleum was really strange!
Suddenly, a demonic wind swept through the mausoleum, stirring up dust and gravel. Gu Li and An Lu couldn't help but look away.
The two maidservants responsible for their safety formed a hand seal, but the Venerable of Numinous Treasure and the Red Demon weren't affected in the slightest. They simply watched the Demon Emperor and the others closely.
"If you don't retreat, then die!"
Kui Lin stood in the center of the emperors' encirclement. He could no longer suppress his impatience and attacked.
He really did have the patience to wait any longer. Regardless of whether or not Ye Zichen was the one who'd appeared, he had to get rid of the Ocean Emperor and the others.
If he didn't get rid of them, then even if it wasn't Ye Zichen who'd come out, but the other emperors ….
By the time Ye Zichen appeared, Kui Lin would still have to cross the gap between them.
Rather than wait impatiently, he might as well take advantage of this time to get rid of the obstacles in his way.
The Demon Emperor lived up to his reputation as a demon emperor.
It was clear that he was truly intent on killing them. He'd attacked with lightning speed.
His six clones separated from his body. They all retained their own consciousnesses, so Kui Lin didn't need to spend any effort controlling them. This was one of the techniques the other emperors envied: the Unshackled Doppelganger.
However, compared to the Ocean Emperor, Kui Lin's mastery of this secret art was far more exquisite.
The six clones charged at Xuan Ji, Su Wan 'er, the Fox Empress, Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Pu Jingwan. Demonic energy gathered around Kui Lin's true body, then coalesced into four arms. He charged at the Ocean Emperor, Bi' an, and Chao Feng.
The sky rumbled endlessly. The battle between emperors and emperors was no longer possible to observe with the naked eye.
The people standing outside could only see the light flickering in the demonic Qi and the sound of explosions that made their scalps tingle came out of the demonic Qi.
The shockwaves from the fight even shattered the space around the tomb.
Fortunately, Yang Jian and the Great Sage had set up a barrier in advance. Otherwise, the entire Immortal Region might not have been spared.
"Xue Yang, you used the River Styx to defeat one of my clones. This time, I'll fight you with my true body. I heard your Sea God's Set is complete. Take it out and let me see. "
"Hah ….."
The Ocean Emperor sneered, not daring to be careless.
He activated the Sea God's Halberd, crown, and ring. Then, he transmitted to Bi 'an and Chao Feng.
"Don't get careless. Kui Lin still has some tricks up his sleeve!"
"I don't need you to tell me." Bi 'an gripped the Hidden Dragon Sword in his hand. This god-bestowed artifact seemed to sense the impending battle as well. The sword trembled incessantly as it cried out in excitement. "If we can kill him here, we'll have eradicated a scourge for the God, Yao, and Demon Races."
"What shameless boasting!"
Bi 'an didn't transmit his words, so Kui Lin heard them all.
Roared the six-armed Kui Lin. Little did he know that as he spoke, a beam of light pierced through the demonic energy from his left.
Kui Lin immediately dodged to the side, but the holy light still left a golden gash in his armpit.
"You've been a demon emperor for so long that you've lowered your guard? If this goes on, we won't be the ones to die! "snorted Chao Feng, his spear made entirely of starlight.
"The mighty Great Emperor Chao Feng has learned how to ambush people?"
"Ambush?"
Chao Feng didn't understand. Hadn't their battle already begun the moment they'd stepped foot into the void?
Where did this "ambush" come from? He really didn't understand.
"Forget it. You motley crew can only resort to petty tricks like this. All you did was ambush me and take advantage of me. What a joke ….. "
"Take advantage?"
Great Emperor Chao Feng was puzzled.
"Are you sure it's as simple as taking advantage of me? Your Majesty, you'll die young if you act so arrogantly."
When he heard this, Kui Lin checked his wounds.
The holy light still hadn't dissipated. More importantly, it was corroding, or perhaps purifying, his demonic energy.
