Chapter 2041: Underworld River Blocks Wu Han, Armament Destruction Versus Demonic Forefather
Kaboom!
Suddenly, a massive bang sounded from the sky.
A massive vortex appeared above the Imperial Palace.
"What is this?"
Elder Ruyan's expression shifted as she dashed out of the palace.
A massive willow branch extended out from the vortex before multiple figures flew out from it.
Soon, an army appeared above the Imperial Palace.
"What? How did they get here?" Elder Ruyan's eyes widened in shock.
Gu Linglong also came out, and she had a serious look on her face when she saw the army.
At that moment, three massive astral diagrams appeared in the sky.
Lan Yu, Chu Hong, and Shang Honghua showed up right after the vortex opened. They stared at the army cautiously. Behind them, the imperial guards had readied their defenses.
"Hahaha! This Hollow Willow Branch is indeed amazing!"
Eastern Patriarch King cackled and stared at Gu Linglong and the others. "Firmament Empire, your existence is in our way. Today will be the end of your reign."
Then, a massive sun rose from behind him, holding a divine bird with three legs.
It was the Golden Crow Forefather!
Other than that, six massively powerful auras appeared. Six more figures, carrying astounding aura, emerged from the vortex. It was the Immortal Hall's Six Royals.
Suddenly, an obscene and strange sound came from the void.
A figure could be seen lying in the clouds, relaxing.
He had four arms, and his violet eyes looked both holy and wicked at the same time.
It was Papiyas from the Desire World.
All the ancient beings appeared above the Imperial Palace, carrying a boundless and domineering aura that locked onto everyone.
The sudden commotion shocked half of the Immortal World.
"What is going on? Why are they all at the Imperial Palace?"
"Why didn't the defense line sound an alarm of their arrival?"
"Wait! That massive willow branch contains powerful spatial energy. Could they have used it to teleport the army here?"
Many Immortal Consciousnesses were communicating in the void, sparking a heated debate.
Back at the Imperial Palace, Lan Yu stepped forward, and her aura erupted. After twenty thousand years of cultivation, she had reached the Multi-Embodier Realm and was almost as strong as the late Peerless Warlords.
"I believe all of you are prepared to die for invading the empire," Lan Yu said coldly.
"It is you who is going to die today!" said the Endless Sky Imperial Commander.
"That's right. The rise of the human tribe has threatened the Yokai Tribe, and the empire is the strongest representative of the human tribe. Your existence has threatened ours," said the Golden Crow Forefather.
"I just want humans to be enslaved by desire," Papiyas said as he yawned.
All of them carried different agendas but shared the same goal — to destroy the obstacle before them which was the Firmament Empire.
It was the reason they teamed up.
"I don't care what your goal is. None of them will succeed. The empire will fight back and destroy all of you!" Lan Yu said coldly.
The imperial guards behind her released similar killing intents.
Papiyas and the others narrowed their eyes.
"Kill them!" said the Six Royals.
The army from both sides clashed instantly, and a fierce battle broke out.
All kinds of dazzling Immortal Techniques were fired, shaking even the sky.
The Six Royals and other elites attacked Lan Yu and the others.
Endless Sky Imperial Commander threw a punch forward that carried golden energy containing multiple Daoist law qi.
It may be domineering, but Lan Yu faced it boldly by swinging her scepter forward.
Her attack crushed the fist seal.
However, the other Imperial Commanders followed up with their attacks and tried to suppress her.
"The empire's soldiers are scattered all over the universe, and it will take them quite a while to gather here. By the time they come, you people will already be dead," Endless Sky Imperial Commander scoffed.
Further away, Eastern Patriarch King fought Shang Honghua.
He attacked with fierce Daoist law energy that could shake the heavens, whereas she wielded her spear in a flurry, summoning two dragon shadows to attack her enemy.
Meanwhile, the Godly Phoenix fought the Golden Crow Forefather.
The battle between the two birds was furious.
"Your Phoenix Flame is as strong as the Phoenix Forefather." The Golden Crow Forefather was engulfed in Golden Crow Flame as he praised Chu Hong.
Then, he followed up with a fiercer attack.
"It seems like no one is stopping me," Papiyas said with a chuckle.
He drew a line in the sky, summoning a crack in the void. Then, countless Desire Sky Demons came out of it.
The Sky Demons instantly flooded the place.
Some looked vicious and some looked beautiful, but all of them were the harbingers of horror.
The sound of killing and wailing filled the battlefield.
As soon as the Desire Sky Demons appeared, a dazzling Buddhist light burst out from the Imperial Palace.
A lady holding a jade vase came, cleansing the e presence of the Sky Demon with each step she took.
It was Shi Ying, one of the Black Heaven Nine Stars!
"Junior, your cultivation is not bad, but you are not strong enough to stop me," Papiyas said with a yawn.
He flicked his finger, transforming his Desire energy into a massive chain.
The chain shattered the Buddhist light and attempted to constrain Shi Ying.
However, a beautiful flower suddenly bloomed in the sky at that moment.
The chain, formed by Desire energy, was absorbed by the flower.
"Oh? Old friend, it's been a long time," Papiyas smiled at Desire Flower.
Desire Flower originated from the Desire World Sky, so she knew Papiyas.
"Old man, a piece of advice: you should keep your hands off the empire, or when he returns, you will suffer," Desire Flower said.
"Oh? Chu Kuangren? I'd really like to meet him." Papiyas smiled.
He feared no one. He cultivated the Desire Dao, and as long as people's desire remained, he was unkillable.
He believed that, even if Chu Kuangren could defeat him, he would not be able to kill him.
"Well, that's the end of the negotiation."
Desire Flower shook her head and teamed up with Shi Ying to fight Papiyas.
While the battle at the Imperial Palace broke out, a pair of eyes opened somewhere in the universe, and Celestial Demon qi flooded the area.
"Hmph."
Wu Han pointed at the Immortal World and unleashed his terrifying Primordial energy, which was aimed at the Imperial Palace.
Right before he could eliminate the threats, two murderous beams rose to the sky.
They were actually two crimson sword rays, and they carried endless murderous qi that flooded the space. Both sword rays were blasted at the finger energy.
The massive collision shook the entire Immortal World.
Somewhere in a rumbling sea of blood, a Master Daoist in crimson robes sat with his legs crossed. He wielded two swords, and the blades were trembling. It was none other than the Underworld River Forefather.
He looked at the shaking swords in his hands, the Yuan Tu and Avici, and lamented, "Although not as good as the Three Clarities, Wu Han is indeed something."
Back in space, Wu Han was surprised.
"The Underworld River Forefather? Did he block my attack? He's not even a Primordial yet, so how did he do it? With the help from the Blood Ocean?"
All the ancient beings were powerful, especially those who had existed since the start of the universe.
If the ancient beings did not experience the great calamity and were forced to reincarnate and recultivate, the Central Heaven Universe would have never been a threat.
The battle at the Imperial Palace continued fiercely.
Then, dark clouds gathered in the sky. A figure in black armor and ominous waving black hair appeared, with overwhelming Heavenly Demonic qi.
"Luo Hou!"
Some of the ancient beings who watched the battle from afar recognized the person.
It was the Demonic Forefather, the strongest demon in the Pan Gu Universe, the one who caused a blood storm in ancient times — Luo Hou!
"Firmament Empire, surrender to me, and I will spare your destruction."
Luo Hou sounded indubitable and domineering.
Everyone was shocked and deterred.
Then, rage qi erupted from the realm, breaking even the void.
An ancient planet came from the sky.
There was an armored figure with white hair standing on the planet, looking proud and arrogant.
He carried intense battle intent that could shake the universe.
"Behind me are mountains of bodies."
"Beneath me is calamity."
"Before me, Gods sigh and demons suffer!"
"I am Armament Destruction!"
Armament Destruction appeared once more, countering Luo Hou's demonic qi with his terrifying battle aura.
The two of them locked eyes as their aura clashed intensely.
