Although wounded, the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor had successfully withstood the peerless assault of the Wushi Monarch.
The Wushi Monarch's gaze turned icy cold. He snorted and attacked once more. The spiked club in his hand flowed with a sinister, chilling light, tearing through the sky, shaking the vast heavens, a terror that shook the world.
"Heh, do you think this Sovereign truly has no means to retaliate? That was merely opening one pair of eyes. Now, witness the true power of opening two pairs."
The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor sneered. Immediately, the second pair of eyes on its face began to tremble rapidly, as if with some difficulty, but soon, the second pair of eyes abruptly opened.
They were, surprisingly, a pair of purple eyes, carrying an indescribable, demonic evil.
Upon opening, the aura emanating from the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor suddenly surged by a large margin. It seemed as if all the myriad Daos of the heavens were trembling before it. All the injuries on its body were instantly and completely repaired.
Then, it swung a thick, ape-like arm, fiercely meeting the massive spiked club. With a deafening boom, the entire deep, ancient path crumbled further, collapsing into complete ruin.
Within this, even the Wushi Monarch's figure trembled. His Saint Body Golden Body Dharma Form nearly staggered backward. The Heavenly Beast beneath him seemed to bear a terrifying pressure, letting out a roar as its colossal, massive body shook violently several times. Heaven and earth quaked, a truly terrifying sight.
"How terrifying!"
All the powerhouses of the heavens, witnessing this scene, felt their hearts leap with fear. The supremely powerful, peerless Wushi Monarch, in a direct collision, had almost been forced back. And this Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor was merely in its transformation period, not yet fully transformed, and had only opened two pairs of eyes, yet was already this terrifying.
If all its eyes were to open, how horrifying would it be?
The various powerhouses dared not imagine further.
The Wushi Monarch's expression darkened slightly, but he did not retreat in the slightest. He swung the spiked club once more, his left hand simultaneously slapping out—the Heaven-Shaking Palm from the Battle Saint techniques. Attacking from both sides, the Heavenly Beast below also roared and lunged to bite. His voice rang out: "I will lead the main assault. You all provide support from the flanks, assist, and help contain it together."
"Understood!"
The powerhouses of the heavens understood. The Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays attacked from left and right, flanking it. The Great Emperor Reincarnation Body, wielding the supreme Emperor's weapon, the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall, moved to the rear, forming an encirclement from all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
This was equivalent to four peerless Sovereign-level powerhouses attacking, one of them wielding a supreme Emperor's weapon. Under such a fierce assault, even the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor began to show signs of disadvantage. Several parts of its body were bleeding, and surprisingly, the blood was not emerald green, but purple—carrying a peculiar evil nature, containing the invincible, Sovereign Heavenly Might aura, capable of corroding many things.
"Quite clever, knowing to gang up!" Seeing this, the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's expression also darkened somewhat. However, it did not truly let its guard down, snorting coldly: "So what if you gang up? Witness my third pair of eyes—open!"
The third pair of eyes on the demon ape's face opened. It seemed even more strenuous than opening the second pair, but after only a moment, they were fully open.
Surprisingly, they were another pair of differently colored eyes—silver pupils, cold and emotionless, like the eyes of the heavens themselves. The Way of Heaven is not benevolent; it treats all beings as straw dogs. Its overall aura suddenly surged by another large margin, powerful and inconceivable. The entire region directly erupted with a force containing intense supreme Emperor might, instantly resisting the attacks from all four sides.
Around its body, an invisible barrier seemed to form, solid and indestructible. Under the assault of four peerless Sovereign-level attacks, it could not be breached for the moment.
Moreover, the eight long spider legs beneath it were like sharp, bendable spears, flashing with a sinister, icy chill. They directly stabbed out in all directions, akin to an imperial weapon striking.
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
It could be called the pinnacle of speed, reversing time to strike!
Clang!—Boom!—
Boom!—Pfft!—
All sides defended. Ye Chen, relying on the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall, blocked the attack unscathed.
The two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays were directly sent flying. Array patterns intertwined, constantly flickering with light, runes were worn away, but the grand arrays themselves were not destroyed.
The Wushi Monarch, however, had his waist grazed by a spider-leg spear. Despite his powerful, indestructible Saint Body Golden Body, it was not enough. A deep gash, visible to the bone, was carved, yet the blood was pitch black, carrying a strong corrosive property, and the wound continuously worsened and expanded.
"Ancestor Wushi!" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock.
The others were also quite worried, for the Wushi Monarch was one of the main forces. How could he be injured?
The Wushi Monarch's expression remained unchanged. Under the operation of the Saint Body Regeneration Art, his entire body shone with brilliant golden light, directly suppressing the area and forcing out the black blood. The injury rapidly repaired until it was completely healed.
This was the strength of a Battle Saint at the Ancient Monarch level. The Saint Body Regeneration Art was practiced to perfection, at the peak of creation. Such an injury could not affect him.
Moreover, seizing this opportunity, the spiked club heavily smashed onto the Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor's body, immediately tearing open a massive bloody gash. Silver blood sprayed out.
"To be able to wound me, you are indeed quite remarkable. You are the second person to wound me. The Qin Shi Huang of your race was the first." The Slaughter Heaven Demon Emperor showed some appreciation, though its third pair of silver eyes remained utterly cold, carrying a sense of emotionlessness and lofty superiority. It spoke indifferently: "As a reward for being able to harm me, I shall let you witness my true power."
At this moment, the Wushi Monarch suddenly roared: "Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays, Yin and Yang unite! Ten Thousand Li Great Wall, come!"
His figure retreated like lightning. The two Immortal Annihilation Heaven Arrays instantly merged—one Yin, one Yang. Surprisingly, a massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appeared, covering a region spanning millions of li, immense beyond measure. The Yin and Yang rotated, flowing with a power that could shock immortals, descending from the heavens.
This Yin-Yang Taiji diagram was boundless in size, and its majestic, peerless aura was simply equivalent to the hand of an Ancient Great Emperor pressing down, suppressing the vast heavens of all ages, permeating with a boundless might that could make even peerless Sovereigns tremble. It was like the truly complete Immortal Annihilation Heaven Array, capable of annihilating the Primordial Chaos Ancient Universe, burying an entire epoch.
Simultaneously, the Wushi Monarch summoned the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall. This supreme Emperor's weapon of the First Emperor of a Thousand Ages, Qin Shi Huang, descended with a thunderous crash. The Wushi Monarch's icy voice resounded: "Back then, if not for the fact that within that chaos, a peerless Heavenly Sovereign of your kind intervened, holding back my race's First Emperor of a Thousand Ages, otherwise, had he taken action, you would not have merely been wounded, but would have faced certain suppression and death!"
In those days, the First Emperor of a Thousand Ages, Qin Shi Huang, shook the vast cosmos across all ages. He once unified the entire Sealed Realm Universe for endless eons before abdicating, supreme and unparalleled. He was an invincible Great Emperor recognized even by the Four Strongest Emperors; otherwise, he would not have borne the title of First Emperor of a Thousand Ages.
It was rumored that Qin Shi Huang was not merely an Emperor, but also one of the Strongest Emperors, invincible across the heavens.
