Imperial God Emperor

1204 - He Is Here



Chapter 1204 - He Is Here

This was not his first time witnessing a battle fought in space.

He had once used his [Yuan Qi True-Self Doppelganger] to enter the battlefield in space during the battle at Capital Sky Peak and witnessed the battle between [Quasi-emperor Xiaofei] and the Quasi-emperor of the Four Stars Sect and turned the situation around.

Now that he had become an Emperor, he had no problem walking on the void with his physical body and could cover a distance of several thousand light years in an instant.

Soon, he appeared right in front of the battlefield.

A fiery bear blazed brightly in the void like an ancient gigantic spiritual being and deafening Dao sounds could be heard from it. It carried a destructive force as it pounced and attacked and this was a pure dark flame that could burn almost everything on earth into ashes.

A lithe and graceful figure stood quietly atop the fiery bear and her dark red skirt was enveloped by the equally dark red flames. Her features had become even more exquisite after she lost the baby fat around her cheeks. Her large eyes flickered with a charming radiance that was as bright as a star in the pitch black void and her skin seemed as flawless as white jade against the red flames and as crystalline as ice. Her radiance was like a lotus and she seemed like a peerless goddess who had emerged from the darkness. There was an innocence in her beauty and a kind of naivety in her innocence but there was also an indescribable elegance present as she exuded an aura that simply could not be matched.

Who else could that person be but Song Xiaojun?

As the years passed, her appearance had undergone some changes and she had matured into a beauty from the naive little girl he knew. Her figure was still petite but slender, and she had become a stunning beauty who could charm everybody.

Dozens of figures who seemed like giants attacked Song Xiaojun and they were of varying shapes and sizes. There were some who were like human giants and there were also some foreign race experts who took on the appearance of demonic beasts. An incomparably large fiery True Phoenix was the most eye-catching of the experts present. As it breathed, it created True Phoenix flames that filled the air and could refine planets in one breath. This Phoenix's power was incredibly astonishing and wisps of Emperor qi could be detected in the fiery flames it unleashed.

Ye Qingyu was not surprised when he saw that there were also other incredibly powerful Invaders present.

It was obvious that the Invaders and the higher-ranking officials of the Guardians' camp were secretly in cahoots.

Once this news got out, it was bound to create huge shockwaves throughout the lands. The Invaders have always been regarded as the most sinister existence since ancient times and it was the known enemy of all living things, so if those from the Vast Thousand Domains and the Dark Realm found out that the Guardians were in cahoots with these creatures, it would be the ultimate betrayal and the Guardians would not be forgiven for their crime.

Roar!

A bone cicada with eight wings flapped its wings and the void was slashed into sixteen pieces. These shards of the void turned into sharp knives that charged toward Song Xiaojun.

An evil dark qi surged along with the sharp knives formed by the void.

At the same time, the other Invaders also attacked in a frenzy.

Screech!

A long screech shook the space and the fiery True Phoenix also attacked. Its crimson flames swept through the entire world and these flames contained wisps of Emperor qi as they hurtled toward the huge fiery bear ahead.

Song Xiaojun's face was devoid of any expression as she chanted the Dark Laws. The huge bear beneath her let out an angry yell, releasing dark sound waves that swept through space, instantly destroying the sixteen blades formed from the void. These sound waves did not diminish in momentum and sent the eight-winged bone cicada flying.

However, the crimson flames from the True Phoenix were a huge threat to the fiery bear and it released many angry roars to express its discomfort and annoyance.

"Ha ha, bitch, today is the day you'll die. There's no need for you to leave any last words behind either," a Black-flamed Explosive Ape laughed menacingly. He was a ninth-step Quasi-emperor and he wielded a giant black cudgel that was forged from divine metal and as he swung this cudgel, space shattered and hurtled toward Song Xiaojun.

Boom!

The giant cudgel smashed hard against the giant bear and the Black-flamed Explosive Ape was sent flying backward.

The giant fiery bear let out an angry growl but as another Quasi-emperor launched an attack against it, it was forced to deal with the attack and could not chase after the Black-flamed Explosive Ape.

Upon closer observation, one would be able to notice that the fiery bear's body was riddled with countless injuries and each time it was inflicted with another injury, Song Xiaojun's complexion paled even more, so there was a clear but mysterious connection between the fiery bear and Song Xiaojun.

They had already been fighting for more than two weeks.

Her attackers who had meticulously planned this ambush felt that this battle had dragged on longer than they anticipated because the young Emperor of Darkness Song Xiaojun was a lot more powerful than they had expected. She was already almost a Martial Emperor herself and despite facing attacks from dozens of peak Quasi-emperors, she had managed to remain undefeated.

However, now that they had the fiery TruePhoenix on their side, it was clear that this young Emperor of Darkness had almost been stretched to breaking point.

Screech!

 The fiery True Phoenix howled and it carried an ancient and primitive energy as it charged toward the giant bear and engaged the it in close combat. As they clashed repeatedly, large swathes of the void shattered, sparks flew everywhere, and a terrifying force circulated frantically in space that destroyed and caused desolate large stars to explode into pieces.

Puff!

A blood arrow shot from her mouth and the dark red blood that resembled blazing flames was injected into the fiery giant bear's body.

The fiery giant bear attacked even more frantically.

It had clearly reached the end of its tether.

"Ha ha, this is it, our moment of success."

"If we kill her, our great achievements would be recognized by the higher-ups."

"He he, we would be rewarded even more if we manage to capture her alive. Ha ha, the Emperor of Darkness? What a joke. How could a lowly Sinner girl call herself an Emperor. She must be sick of living."

"Song XIaojun, if you surrender now and allow yourself to be captured, your Unmoving City of Darkness might be spared and you’re trusted subordinated might escape the executioner's knife. Otherwise, the entire Unmoving City of Darkness will go down with you."

"You should spare a thought for the soldiers who are willing to lay down their lives for you. There's nowhere for you to hide, so why don't you sacrifice yourself for the greater good?"

The Quasi-emperors who surrounded her all threw all kinds of advice at her and tried to use their words to affect her resolve.

Song Xiaojun suddenly looked confused and froze in disbelief. Then, she stopped moving altogether, as though their words had convinced her and looked like she had given up trying to resist capture. The fiery giant bear beneath her had also quietened.

"Ha ha ha, that's great. Very well, if you're willing to be captured, we might spare your trusted subordinates. Ha ha, you..."

Someone laughed sinisterly.

As though a spring breeze had gently caressed her face, a dazzling smile suddenly broke across her face that had been completely blank thus far and that moment was as though a glacier had melted or thick ice had cracked.

"He's here," she muttered and a faint blush stained her cheeks.

The lofty Emperor of Darkness smiled like a girl-next-door.

"This is it. Attack... and kill!" the Black-flamed Explosive Ape Quasi-emperor cried out and his eyes flashed menacingly. He suddenly attacked when Song Xiaojun entered this trance-like state and he couldn't wait to smash her into pieces since he had taken a beating thanks to her earlier.

His giant cudgel whistled through space and stirred up the galaxies of the Nine Heavens.

Song Xiaojun completely ignored him.

A gentle and faint smile spread across her face and this smile was as warm as the first sunlight of spring as she stared in the distance.

"Die," the Black-flamed Explosive Ape Quasi-emperor was thrilled. His giant cudgel was almost as powerful as an Emperor weapon and could destroy spirits in an instant. Even if a peak Quasi-emperor managed to escape death, he would sustain severe injuries once his cudgel hit its target and now that Song Xiaojun's energy reserves were already depleted, her fate would be no different.

The giant cudgel was less than the length of a finger away from Song Xiaojun's forehead.

The next moment, a fair palm appeared out of nowhere to grip the giant cudgel forged from golden-black divine metal and prevented it from moving any further.

This palm belonged to a young man in white robes.

His countenance was as radiant as jade and he stood tall and handsome in space.

He was as white as snow, as though he was an Immortal who had descended upon this part of space from the Immortal Realm.

There were no traces of martial way energy waves on this young man's body. His back was facing the Black-flamed Explosive Ape and he looked straight at Song Xiaojun. Their faces were less than half a meter apart and they stared tenderly at each other. When he had held the Black-flamed Explosive Ape's lethal blow, he had caught it with the back of his hand and effortlessly managed to block this blow. He had made his movements seem so casual and easy.

Everything seemed to freeze at that moment.

Similarly, time seemed to stop.

Heaven and earth were drained of color, the planets and nebula quietened, and the galaxies were like rainbow strips that swirled around.

Silence spoke louder than words.

The fiery True Phoenix in the distance had also stopped as though it had sensed something. Its movements also became more hesitant.

"Who are you? How dare you stop me? Die!" the Black-flamed Explosive Ape was the first to shake himself out of his reverie.

He used all his might to wrest his giant cudgel from this young man's grip but it was as though this giant cudgel was welded into the fair white palm and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't even move his giant cudgel. He could neither smash it downward nor retract his cudgel.

"Who exactly are you?" the Black-flamed Explosive Ape growled loudly, his voice a mixture of shock and surprise.

A flash of annoyance finally appeared on the young man's face and he looked like a young man whose date with his lover had just been interrupted without reason. The hand that held the cudgel gently shook and flung it aside as he said, "Shut up... and get lost!"

There was a series of cracking sounds.

The giant cudgel that was almost as powerful as an Emperor weapon and forged from golden-black divine metal immediately shattered as though it was made of fragile straw and before everyone could react, the Black-flamed Explosive Ape Quasi-emperor shrieked in terror. The arms that held his giant cudgel were also starting to shatter in the same manner as his giant cudgel. Then, everyone watched as cracks appeared all over his body, waist, skull, legs...

Finally, his body shattered into tiny pieces in the same manner as his giant cudgel.

His spirit that spilled out of his body also transformed into tiny pieces that scattered in the quiet galaxies like fireflies before they vanished completely.

His physical and spiritual forms were both destroyed.

A peak ninth-step Quasi-emperor had been killed.

"What?"

When the other Quasi-emperors who had been attacking Song Xiaojun witnessed this scene, they were struck with terror and quickly retreated at the first instance.

How could this have happened?

That Black-flamed Explosive Ape had been a peak ninth-step Quasi-emperor and was regarded as one of the most powerful existence in the martial way of this era. However, that Quasi-emperor had been killed by the young man in white so effortlessly that it seemed to come to this young man as easily as drinking water. What kind of person could this young man be? Could he be... a Martial Emperor?

A chill ran down the spines of all of Song Xiaojun's attackers at the thought of a Martial Emperor being in their midst.
