Chapter 648: Battle Of The Emperors, Yo, Looks Like A Party Is Going On

“All hail the Emperors…”

Countless cultivators bowed in respect towards the Emperor Mountain.

The auras of the nine Emperors had dramatically transformed the firmament.

Meanwhile, amongst the nine Emperors, Sha Wushe was staring menacingly at Lan Yu and Murong Xuan. “It seems like we still have some unsettled business to sort out.”

“What do you mean?”

Lan Yu uttered lightly.

“Chu Kuangren has previously wronged so many of us. Did you think we would let it go? You were the closest to him. Did you think his death would spare you from his sins?”

“Do you intend to compare our Emperor’s powers so early on?!”

Lan Yu summoned her white staff that seethed with her Emperor’s Aura.

“Heh, I’d sure love to test it out and see just how different our powers would be as Emperors!” Sha Wushe laughed coldly.

With a leap forward, Sha Wushe unleashed a fist technique towards Lan Yu.

Thanks to his Emperor qi, Sha Wushe’s Infallible Tormented Physique grew many times stronger. His violent fury of ferocious qi could almost create a rift in the void.

Lan Yu snorted and retaliated with her fist.

The divine flame raged as it struck right into Sha Wushe’s ferocious qi, causing both distinctive Emperor’s powers to erupt and shake the Emperor Mountain. The blast that ensued from the attack even swept countless cultivators away.

“The Emperor’s powers are indeed on a whole new level. Previously, the Sovereigns under the Slumbering Emperor Coffin’s control could not even do any harm to Emperor Mountain. Yet, that shockwave has managed to shake the earth beneath it. This is so scary!”

“It is a frightening display of power.”

Lan Yu and Sha Wushe retreated after the initial attack.

Sha Wushe’s ferocious qi coursed through his body, and his Infallible Tormented Physique was charged to its absolute limit. Using his Emperor qi, Sha Wushe conjured the Divine Ferocious Avatar to aid him in battle.

The avatar was several thousand meters tall and seething with countless Daoist runes and Emperor’s Aura. As a result, many cultivators could feel a crushing pressure exerted on their bodies.

Even the Sovereigns found it hard to endure.

“Quick! Get out of this place!”

“Retreat at least ten thousand kilometers away from the Emperor Mountain. Let’s not get caught in the crossfire.”

“They’ve literally just ascended, and now they’re waging an Emperor war? That escalated quickly.”

Above the Emperor Mountain.

Sha Wushe’s Divine Ferocious Avatar stood majestically in the air as the runes around it and its majestic Emperor’s Aura covered almost half of the firmament.

Lan Yu was burning brightly with the divine flame on her body. Similarly, her flames were imbued with the power of Daoist Runes, which was a stark contrast against Sha Wushe’s ferocious qi.

As their Emperor Auras sought to dominate the battlefield, the only people who could hold themselves were the other Emperors. The rest of the cultivators found it difficult even to get close.

“Everyone, have you forgotten what Chu Kuangren did to us? Don’t you wish to reclaim your dignity?”

Sha Wushe chuckled menacingly as he stared at the rest of the new Emperors.

Above all, he was paying special attention to Qin Tianchen.

Qin Tianchen was an Emperor who had ascended twice now. With two lifetimes’ worth of experience, Qin Tianchen’s combat strength would far surpass any of the Emperors present.

If he was willing to join the battle, defeating Lan Yu would be a simple feat to accomplish.

“Although Chu Kuangren’s dead, it sure feels good if I can vent my anger on his closed ones.” Jiu Yan smirked before leaping forward.

“The fact that Chu Kuangren killed the Bai clan’s Golden Imperial Physique host isn’t something I can forgive easily. Lan Yu, let’s see what you’ve got.” Bai Hongyu stepped forward, wielding a longsword in hand.

The sword was an Emperor Weapon.

It was an Opportunity of Fortune she had acquired after coming to Emperor Mountain. The sword was no weaker than the Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber, which Chu Kuangren had taken from her.

“Chu Kuangren killed my cousin, Wang Tianteng. I must seek retribution for the Wang clan.”

Wang Quan uttered coldly.

“I don’t hold too much of a grudge against Chu Kuangren. I guess I’ll just stay out of this.” Zi Wuji took several steps back.

“What about you, Qin Tianchen?”

Sha Wushe asked.

“Hmph, bullying a woman isn’t my thing.”

Qin Tianchen said. The way he saw it, he was on a different level of existence now compared to these new Emperors.

If he joined these Emperors in cornering Lan Yu, it would do no good to his reputation.

“Fine. It’s the same with or without you anyway.”

Sha Wushe shrugged.

It was now him, Bai Hongyu, Wang Quan, and Jiu Yan versus Lan Yu and Murong Xuan. It was an almost certain victory for Sha Wushe as they significantly outnumbered Lan Yu’s party.

“If a war is what you want, then bring it on!”

Lan Yu gripped her staff tightly.

“My fellow Daoists, allow me to join the battle to put my Dao to test.” Leng Ningyu finally broke her silence.

There was nothing but indifference written over her face.

She seemed to have cultivated her Unruffled Emotions Dao to another level.

“Four against three, we still stand victorious.”

Without speaking further, Sha Wushe commanded his Divine Ferocious Avatar to punch at Lan Yu, unleashing a wave of terrifying energies that could almost rupture the rift.

Lan Yu did not retreat and, instead, parried his attack with her divine flame!

As Lan Yu’s Power of Light and Sha Wushe’s ferocious qi clashed, their Daoist runes imploded and forced both parties to retreat.

A surge of sword qi was swiftly released into the air before it was greeted by a similarly ruthless blade ray. Both sword qi and blade ray were imbued with boundless Emperor’s Auras.

Murong Xuan and Bai Hongyu were battling intensely at one side, while Leng Ningyu was going against Wang Quan at another. It was the battle between the Unruffled Emotions Dao and the Five Ways Dao.

“Hehe, pardon me for not holding back.”

Jiu Yan cackled and charged towards Lan Yu, unleashing a fury of Fire and Water Dao that rained towards her.

As an archaic beast, Jiu Yan already possessed remarkable talents from the start. Hence, after his ascension, his combat strength far surpassed most Emperors within the same realm.

Sha Wushe was the host of the Infallible Tormented Physique, and Jiu Yan was an archaic beast. While Lan Yu would have prevailed in a solo fight against either of them, she found it tricky to fend off both of them at the same time.

The battle of the Emperors caused a great commotion throughout the realm.

As the Emperors unleashed their skills one after another, the violent outbreak of energy caused the Emperor Mountain to shudder violently.

Many cultivators observing from the distance shivered at the petrifying displays of power. Nevertheless, most of them were also lamenting the situation.

“What a legend Chu Kuangren is. Even after his death, he continues to unleash chaos throughout this world. Look, even the Emperors are fighting because of him.”

“Indeed. It seems like Lan Yu is having a rough time fending two Emperors. She’ll be defeated anytime now.”

“Hmm, things don’t look good for her.”

Meanwhile, Nangong Huang, Shang Qingxue, and the others could only watch from afar as they grew increasingly anxious.

The Sovereign of the Sword Tribe noticed them and chuckled sinisterly. “Looks like Lan Yu and Murong Xuan are busy now. Since all of you were once close to Chu Kuangren, I guess you should join him in the afterlife too!”

The Sovereign immediately attacked the Daoists.

Murong Xuan swiftly parried his attack, forcing both sides to retreat while alerting Shang Qingxue and the others to prepare for battle.

This caught the attention of the Sovereigns from the Wang clan, Bai clan, and demonic tribe as well.

They were glaring at the Daoist ruthlessly.

“Whoever’s related to Chu Kuangren must not be spared. Who knows what tragedy they might unleash in the future.”

“That’s right. Now that Chu Kuangren is dead, you shall help clear his debts.”

“You only have your Sect Leader to blame for your deaths.”

The Sovereigns sealed all paths of escape and inched closer towards the Daoists. With the Emperor Road’s restriction lifted, their hands were no longer tied. They could now freely attack any sky-prides they desired.

Their first targets were obviously those whom Chu Kuangren left behind.

The hatred which they harbored for Chu Kuangren was too big to ignore.

“Yo, it sure looks like a party is going on here.”

A loud, crisp voice echoed throughout Emperor Mountain.
