Imperial God Emperor

1284 - Secret Technique



Chapter 1284 - Secret Technique 

The Divine Light Court was losing in both battles. 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the fiendgods of the alternate timeline were extremely fierce and vicious, so the six divine generals gradually found it harder and harder to resist them. Many of the Martial Emperors from the various forces who came to lend aid were slain, and their essences were consumed by the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others, which then enabled them to replenish their strength. Being so, the battle had tipped over to their side. 

"Ah..." an angry howl rang out, full of disbelief. 

One of the Martial Emperors battling alongside the six divine generals snuck up on one of them and attacked him. The lower half of the divine general's body was completely destroyed. He had already sustained several serious injuries; this caused him to lose all effectiveness in battle. 

The Martial Emperor who had come to 'lend aid' chuckled loudly when he saw that he had managed to land a critical hit on his first attempt and quickly retreated. He held something in his hand—an evil Heavenly Dao thunder that was full of terrifying malicious energy. When he flung the thing he was holding, the other divine generals were forced to retreat. 

"Third brother..." one of the divine generals held the injured divine general in his arms, his grief and anger written all over his face. 

The divine general who was known as 'Third Brother' was extremely pale. He said, "He's a traitor that was planted by the Sky Emperor... that bastard planned it all meticulously..." he felt a sinister and devouring force that frantically worked at destroying his body and spirit. This force was resistant to Emperor qi and divine power; it was clear for him that this was all part of the Sky Emperor's plot. He had gone all out this time to make sure that a single blow would be lethal enough to kill. 

"Kill him." Their leader, a divine general who wielded a fiery long spear as his weapon, let out an angry growl and even ignited his foundation to unleash his strongest combat power to pierce a hole through the head of the Martial Emperor who had attacked his comrade, then used his Emperor fire to burn him to ashes. 

"Be on your guard and retreat," the divine general who wielded a pair of battle axes said. They tightened the combat circle and used the remaining divine generals to form a new formation, then worked together to go on the defensive. They continually retreated and stopped trying to engage the fiendgods. 

"Hahaha, it's too late; the die has already been cast," the Sky Emperor said in excitement. 

The Divine Light Court was all but destroyed. One of the six divine generals had been obliterated, the Divine Light Emperor was single-handedly battling two kings of sovereigns and would surely be slain. Everything that belonged to the Divine Light Court would be gathered and destroyed. The death of the Divine Light Emperor would mean that all the luck in this world would then belong to him. He would replace the Divine Light Emperor, reconstruct the Divine Light Court, and he was sure that he would right all the wrongs and continue the work that the Divine Light Emperor had given up on. 

There was an angry growl in the sky. 

A huge shower of blood fell from the sky, instantly turning the ground into a pool of blood. 

Everyone looked up to see that the Abandoned Fiendgod had been slashed down the side. He let out an angry howl after he sustained such a serious injury. 

The wings formed from the Divine Light Emperor's [Sword of Divine Light] were practically destroyed, because he had only managed to slash open the Abandoned Fiendgod's body by facing an attack from the Ancient Ghostly Emperor head-on. He was also seriously injured and large mouthfuls of blood gushed out from his mouth. The power of light circulated in the Abandoned Fiendgod's injuries and he was unable to recover in a short time, making the sacrifice worth it. 

"Ah..." the Abandoned Fiendgod yelled in rage, barely managing to join the two halves of his body together. However, the power of light was clearly spreading all over his wound, causing his aura to weaken rapidly. 

"I swear I'll kill you one day," the Abandoned Fiendgod howled angrily before he turned into a ray of flowing light and fled, disappearing into the gate of blood that was high up in the firmament. 

No one had managed to injure a king of the sovereigns like the Abandoned Fiendgod for the longest time. He controlled the fate and destiny in his world, but once he was injured, he would be in a dangerous position. Moreover, someone might take this chance to challenge his authority. Even several comrades from the camp might have designs on his world. This was the law of the jungle; even the lion king's position might be usurped if it was injured. This was why he could no longer continue battling the Divine Light Emperor. It was more important for him to flee and recuperate from his injuries. 

He was definitely in a worse position than before. 

He had wanted to battle for the destiny of becoming the sovereign of this world, to increase his luck and then attempt to attain a cultivation beyond Martial Emperor. However, he had ended up being seriously injured. If he had known how powerful the Divine Light Emperor was, he would have never participated in this plan. 

The Sky Emperor turned pale when he saw that the Abandoned Fiendgod had fled. 

However, he quickly calmed down when he saw that the Divine Light Emperor was also seriously injured. 

The other king of sovereigns, the Ancient Ghostly Emperor, had only exhausted some of his energy, but he was still extremely powerful. 

Someone as mighty as the Ancient Ghostly Emperor would be enough to finish off the injured Divine Light Emperor. Everything was still going according to plan. 

"Accept your fate," the Sky Emperor said as he bared his teeth and threw his head back to look up at the battle in the firmament. 

He looked ruthlessly at the DIvine Light Emperor, but there was a complicated mix of emotions in his eyes. He thought, "I wasn't the one who betrayed you. You were the one who turned your back on us first... I will fulfill everything that we had set out to do in the past. I'm sure you'll understand my choices one day and acknowledge that I was right." 

The battle in the firmament intensified. 

A battle amongst two kings of sovereigns was enough to almost smash the starry sky into pieces. 

The Ancient Ghostly Emperor laughed coldly and attacked with all his might, giving it everything he had. He knew that this was his chance. Now that the Abandoned Fiendgod had fled with serious injuries, no one would be competing with him for the destiny in this world. He would then be able to have this destiny all to himself; it would definitely help him to transcend into eternity. 

This was the thought that motivated him to attack with even more ferocity. He unleashed all sorts of magical abilities and launched frenzied attacks on the Divine Light Emperor. 

The Divine Light Emperor kept sustaining even more injuries; his Emperor blood splashed across the sky. 

"We have to help His Highness." Those who were still able to fight were enraged when they saw this, longing to fight alongside the Divine Light Emperor. They did not mind dying and having their Dao cultivation completely destroyed, as long as they could buy some time for the Divine Light Emperor. 

Unfortunately, they were completely surrounded by the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster. The others were also in dire straits themselves, so they were unable to lend aid. 

The spirit monkey battle pet Sun Wukong let out a series of angry growls and battled even more ferociously than before, but it was unable to break free from the gigantic octopus. 

The Sky Emperor chuckled loudly. 

The Ancient Ghostly Emperor suddenly pointed his finger into the firmament. 

Rumble!

He destroyed the gate of blood in the sky. 

At the same time, the four blood formations on the ground started to break apart and could no longer be an energy source for the gate of blood. 

The Sky Emperor was shocked when he saw what was happening. 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others also paled at the sight. 

"The destiny that exists in this world shall be mine. I don't want anyone else to come and compete with me for it," the Ancient Ghostly Emperor said; his cold and ruthless voice rang out across the lands. 

He destroyed the gate of blood in order to prevent any other powerful titans from alternate timelines from appearing at the very last moment, to compete with him for the Divine Light Emperor's destiny. As long as he managed to kill the Divine Light Emperor, he would be able to absorb the Divine Light Emperor's luck, to propel himself into an invincible realm. Once he reached that realm, he would be able to traverse across time and space with a single thought. He would be able to crush the Sword-Saber Divine Emperor and the Emperor of Azeroth effortlessly. 

The Sky Emperor felt a shiver run down his spine. 

Fraternizing with the enemy indeed came with its risks. 

However, he wasn't too worried since he knew that the Ancient Ghostly Emperor was his comrade. He also knew that no matter how avaricious the Ancient Ghostly Emperor was, he would definitely not harm him. 

He did not care about how the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others felt about this unexpected change. 

Suddenly, there was a huge flash of bright light in the sky, as though hundreds of blazing suns had instantly appeared. The entire world was covered in a dazzling silvery-white light. No matter how sharp the Sky Emperor's, the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster's and the others' eyes were, they were unable to look directly at this bright flash of light. 

"Ah...!" An angry yell echoed throughout the world. 

It was the Ancient Ghostly Emperor. 

He seemed to have been seriously injured. 

The Sky Emperor's heart sank when he heard the Ancient Ghostly Emperor yell out. 

Soon, there came a large shower of blood. 

The blazing bright light gradually faded and the silver radiance was no longer as dazzling as before. 

The Sky Emperor's eyes widened as he stared up in the sky. Then, he saw the Ancient Ghostly Emperor's figure slowly fall; his figure rapidly shrank, turning into a blue-colored body that was about the size of an average human. There was a huge sword-shaped hole in the area where his heart should have been. This area had been pierced through; the power of light circulated in the wound... 

The Divine Light Emperor had completely vanished. 

The six divine generals, the ones who had been battling the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others had also inexplicably vanished without a trace. 

"I can't believe that he had such a magical ability up his sleeve..." The Ancient Ghostly Emperor's aura was weak and his complexion was pale. He was consumed with resentment, since he had been a whisker away from killing the Divine Light Emperor. To his astonishment, the Divine Light Emperor had used an unbelievable secret technique—he destroyed his foundation, igniting the Dao laws and unleashed a power that was so close to transcending eternity to hit him with a lethal blow. 

This secret technique was extremely powerful. 

The Ancient Ghostly Emperor had been prepared for the Divine Light Emperor to self-destruct as a last resort, but he hadn't expected his secret technique to be so powerful. This was even more violent than choosing to self-destruct; the power unleashed by his sword had still managed to seriously injure the Ancient Ghostly Emperor, even though he had been on his guard against him. 

The DIvine Light Emperor had also rescued the six divine generals and the others. 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others gathered around him; all their faces were equally pale. 

Their prey had slipped through their fingers. 

Moreover, now that the gate of blood was destroyed, there was no way for them to return to their own timelines. They had truly suffered huge losses this time. 

The Sky Emperor didn't know what to think. He had assumed that he knew everything about the Divine Light Emperor, so he hadn't expected him to unleash such a powerful secret technique at the very last second. His mind had blanked out; he didn't know what to say now that his plans had all fallen through. 

"That's not a problem. The secret technique that he employed burned through his foundation and destroyed his Dao laws. I'm sure he wouldn't be able to live much longer and is probably on the verge of death," the Ancient Ghostly Emperor gradually calmed down and a cold smile danced on his lips. 

Once the Divine Light Emperor died, the destiny contained within his body would scatter and drift back into the world. When that happened, he would only need some time to slowly absorb those wisps of destiny. Once he obtained them, he would still be able to propel himself to the next level. It would only take longer than he had initially planned. 

"I want you to order your men to search for the Divine Light Emperor. Kill him together with his followers," the Ancient Ghostly Emperor said as his gaze fell upon the Sky Emperor. "Don't let me down." After he spoke, a dark blue ghostly energy moved from his body to enter the Sky Emperor's body. "This is a wisp of my ghostly divine power. It will enable you to be invincible in this world." 

"As for the rest of you, go assist the Sky Emperor in his search. I want all of you to pursue the Divine Light Emperor and kill him, the Sky Emperor shall lead the operation. Does anyone have any objections?" the Ancient Ghostly Emperor asked as he looked at the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others. 

They were all fiendgods and sovereigns from an alternate timeline, but since the Ancient Ghostly Emperor was a king of sovereigns, he had the authority to command them. 

The Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster and the others wore subservient expressions as they looked at the Ancient Ghostly Emperor. They were reluctant to serve under a peasant like the Sky Emperor, but they could only agree to do the Ancient Ghostly Emperor's bidding.
