Become a fairy alone

After Qianhua Laojun made his decision, the commander of the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Guards did not object. His resolve to resist was not firm to begin with, let alone under the current circumstances.

Neither the Heavenly Emperor Honghao nor any other Heavenly Emperor showed any intention of helping them out of their predicament. At this point, the fact that the other party was willing to spare their lives was already an extraordinary act of mercy, and it was done without any strings attached.

The celestial army quickly reached a consensus and subsequently withdrew from the formations and strategic passes they had originally guarded, leaving these areas to be swallowed up by the Nine Nether Weak Water.

The once noble and majestic Mount Buzhou in the eyes of all the immortals was gradually conquered, and the beliefs in the hearts of these immortals were slowly fading.

When the battle reached its most dangerous moment, the Heavenly Emperor indeed had no regard for his subjects. In contrast, the Dragon Lord had risked his life to entangle the four Heavenly Emperors in order to protect the entire Dragon Domain, only to be suppressed in the end.

At the beginning of the conflict, the Immortal Realm held an absolute advantage. Compared to the Immortal Realm at that time, the entire Dragon Domain, including the Dragon Lord, was so weak that it was not even worth mentioning an ant. However, from beginning to end, the Dragon Lord led this weak tribe step by step to where it is now, gathering up the scattered tribesmen from all over the place and gradually expanding its scale.

Despite the relentless pursuit from the Immortal Realm, and even though outsiders like them knew that the Dragon Lord had repeatedly faced death, they had never heard of him abandoning his people and fleeing alone.

Even his initial rebellion against the Heavenly Court was in order to bring his relatives and friends from the mortal realm into the immortal realm, thus violating the Heavenly Laws.

Everyone has their own scale in their heart. Compared to the other side, the high and mighty Heavenly Emperor has been detached from them for too long, and no longer even regards them as his subjects.

In this predicament, the Heavenly Emperor did not save them, but the Dragon Lord, who was their enemy, was willing to give them a way out.

As the vast Nine Nether Weak Waters opened a passage, the majestic and authoritative figure of the Heavenly Emperor in their hearts gradually faded as these celestial soldiers left.

Regardless of the outcome of the final battle, if the Heavenly Emperor wins, they will still submit to the other side's rule, but the established impressions will not change because of this.

Watching the celestial army withdraw in an orderly manner, Lu Xiaotian's eyes remained indifferent. Once all the celestial army had left through the passage, the Nine Nether Weak Water rushed into the core area of ​​Buzhou Immortal Mountain.

"We must stop them!" Jade Profound Heavenly Emperor roared, unleashing the Jade Emperor Profound Heaven Seal, which landed between Buzhou Immortal Mountain and the outer realm, blocking the Nine Nether Weak Water's advance for a short time.

Honghao Heavenly Emperor's face darkened. He could feel the Creation Jade Disc within his body weakening at a certain rate, clearly due to the extreme disappointment his immortal armies had in him during their retreat.

Feeling defeated, Hong Haotian looked at Lu Xiaotian with unprecedented killing intent.

The array and restrictions of Buzhou Immortal Mountain were completely swallowed up by the Nine Nether Waters, and his most elite immortal army had lost its former awe of him. His foundation was being destroyed by the other party. Only by suppressing and killing Lu Xiaotian in this battle could the trouble he was facing be resolved.

Otherwise, even if he successfully defeats Lu Xiaotian after this battle, his luck will be greatly diminished, and he will probably have to step down from the position of Heavenly Emperor sooner or later.

This battle is one of advance or retreat!

Golden Heavenly Book!

Emperor Honghao tossed out a streak of light, which transformed into a gigantic celestial book that nearly covered the entire sky. Within this massive formation, it even obscured the purplish-black mist.

Of the four Heavenly Emperors, he was facing the greatest crisis at this time. If Honghao Heavenly Emperor didn't fight desperately, he couldn't rely on the other three to fight to the death.

"The Dragon Lord possesses three Great Dao Seeds, as well as the spatial sacred artifact, the Sky Heaven Cauldron. Since defeating the Immortal Realm last time, his power has been at its zenith. The fortune gathered on his body has reached an unprecedented level, and his strength is still steadily increasing."

This battle is the last chance for our Immortal Realm. Everyone, join me in attacking this powerful enemy and be sure to slay the Dragon Lord within the great formation! Hong Hao Heavenly Emperor's figure soared into the sky, and the vast ocean formed by the Nine Nether Weak Waters was constantly impacting the passage to the outer realm.

The astonishing corrosive power even alarmed the Heavenly Emperors. At this point, they could no longer rely on the formation to defeat Lu Xiaotian. While maintaining the stability of the passage and the formation, they also had to take action.

“That’s right. Once Mount Buzhou is destroyed, the combined strength of the Four Heavenly Emperors will be difficult to maintain. If we don’t fight now, the fate of the Immortal Realm will be in jeopardy, and we will no longer have the qualifications to compete with them.”

A colossal imperial shadow appeared behind the Southern Dan Heavenly Emperor, with streaks of crimson light darting around him like dragons and snakes.

"Since that's the case, let's fight to the death there!" Emperor Mingluo roared.

Roar!
Tianlong Bayin!

Hundreds of azure dragon shadows emanated from Lu Xiaotian, darting outwards. Wherever the dragon shadows passed, the roaring dragon sounds swept through, and swathes of battle spirits collapsed.

Some of the stronger ones swayed suddenly, and Yan Ji's Demon Bat Blade slashed in the process, making her kill efficiency several times higher than before. The originally tight battle spirit army formation was cut open like tofu.

Several powerful battle spirits, each possessing the aura of a Celestial Lord, were unable to dodge the blade's edge and were cleaved in two by Yan Ji's blade.

Soon after the initial losses, a dense, almost tangible, purplish-black mist and a massive aura of battle and slaughter surged forth from all around.

The myriad immortal battle spirits roared in unison, each sound almost negligible compared to the eight tones of the Heavenly Dragon, but when countless sounds carrying the aura of immortals and demons converged, they formed a torrent.

At close range, the power of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds remained undiminished, but it could no longer penetrate the thick battle formation composed of the Myriad Immortal Battle Spirits.

Even with Yan Ji's strength, she was confined to a relatively small area.

"Don't worry too much about me. Dealing with the Four Heavenly Emperors is the priority. I can hold out here. As long as you can defeat them, all difficulties will be resolved."

Ordinary methods were extremely taxing on the densely packed hordes of Immortal War Spirits, and their killing efficiency was low. Faced with the battle formation's simple yet highly efficient attacks, Yan Ji could only rely on her Demon Bat Blade to maneuver around the battlefield. Most of the battle formation's power was concentrated on her; a dense barrage of arrows and various weapons, imbued with the battle formation's aura, surged forth like a relentless tide.

Those lion-scaled chariots, each thousands of feet in size, spewed out streaks of fire, ice pillars, lightning, and other different laws of power, putting considerable pressure on Yan Ji.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian was also inside the great formation. Before he could decide the victor between himself and the Four Heavenly Emperors, Yan Ji did not want Lu Xiaotian to expend too much energy.

"It's alright, those four alone are no threat to me. It's perfect that we join forces to eliminate some of the Myriad Immortal War Spirits. I'm not comfortable letting you deal with the entire formation alone."

Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Even he felt a certain threat from the combined attack of the hundreds of battle spirits, each with some of the aura of an Immortal Lord. It would be too dangerous for Yan Ji to fight against the entire formation on her own.

Yan Ji always felt that she was not someone who was easily swayed by romantic feelings. After her entanglement with the Dragon Seal Cult Master, she thought that her heart had been frozen. Even after she revealed her feelings to Lu Xiaotian, she did not change her heroic and decisive nature.

Hearing Lu Xiaotian's concern for her, Yan Ji couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart, and a rare blush rose on her fair face.

"You need to assess the situation. Don't be reckless at crucial moments. Even if I'm facing this formation alone, as long as I don't engage in direct combat, I can hold out for a while," Yan Ji said.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." As Lu Xiaotian nodded, he left behind hundreds of dragon shadows and used the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon to dispel a large amount of the battle formation's killing aura for Yan Ji and disperse some of the residual divine consciousness of the battle spirit.

Dissolving the battle formation's momentum was equivalent to partially restraining it, giving Yan Ji wings. With her Demon Bat Blade, she roamed freely within the formation, her body sometimes transforming into a bat shadow and sometimes moving like lightning.

Wherever Yan Ji went, the battle spirits fell in droves. Compared to the scale of the ten thousand immortal battle spirits in the entire formation, the casualties in this part were still insignificant. However, with Lu Xiaotian's Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds helping to relieve the siege, it would be difficult for the opponent to form an effective siege against Yan Ji in a short period of time.

Yan Ji was ultimately a powerful figure at the Emperor level. As long as she wasn't restrained, even if she was temporarily unable to break the formation, she could still confine a significant portion of the enemy's attention and protect herself. For Lu Xiaotian, that was enough.

Buzz! Before Lu Xiaotian could make a move, four illusory figures of Great Emperors appeared one after another, unleashing the unique divine power of Emperor-level experts, the Law of Heaven and Earth.

I've had this kind of experience fighting with the opponent several times before, but within this great formation, the power of the opponent's Dharma form has clearly increased to some extent.

Lu Xiaotian's eyes narrowed. It seemed that although he had destroyed the physical bodies of two Heavenly Emperors last time, they had indeed resolved their own troubles in a very short time. Fortunately, he had listened to Yan Ji's advice and arrived early without delay. Otherwise, if the Four Heavenly Emperors had been given more time, who knew how much they would have improved?

Although this improvement is temporary, or is limited by the formation in this place and may not work in other places, if Lu Xiaotian wants to destroy several Heavenly Emperors, he has no choice but to go to their lair.

The opponent had the advantage of favorable timing and location. Fortunately, Lu Xiaotian had also had some enlightenment during this period, otherwise this battle would have been very dangerous.

Aside from these few Heavenly Emperors, Immortal Emperor Yu Hua was nowhere to be seen this time. However, with the great battle raging, he couldn't care less about that now. It was better that he didn't come, as it would reduce the pressure on Yan Ji's side.

Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, and the two Sky Heaven Cauldrons slowly approached the great formation from the outer realm passage. At the same time, the endless Nine Nether Weak Water was guided by the power of space and constantly impacted the great formation. As long as it could break through the barrier of the great formation, the endless Ten Thousand Immortals Battle Spirits would disintegrate in a very short time.

"Breaking through the formation directly won't be that easy!" Emperor Honghao roared, "Myriad Hongtian Steps, with the void as the boundary!"

Emperor Honghao reached out and gestured towards the golden celestial book. Countless characters surged out like flying mosquitoes, forming golden staircases that extended towards the passage to the outer realm.

In an instant, the passage was separated from the great formation by a winding golden staircase. The staircase stretched endlessly, and the distance that was once so close now felt like an insurmountable chasm.

Not only did the spatial distance become greater, but Lu Xiaotian's divine sense's perception of the Nine Nether Weak Water also became vaguely blurred.

"Not bad. If it were another enemy with similar strength to me, they might really be separated by this move. However, you have underestimated the power of the Sky Emperor Cauldron in my hands."

Lu Xiaotian pressed his finger against his brow, and the aura of the laws of space contained within emanated a wondrous fluctuation. In the endless depths of the void, the Sky Heaven Cauldron seemed to sense something; even several Heavenly Emperors felt the cauldron vibrate, as if it were responding to Lu Xiaotian.

Hong Haotian and the others' expressions darkened. Ever since they were defeated by the enemy and fled back to their territory, they had considered the possibility that the enemy might pursue them, and had made many preparations for this.

The Myriad Heavenly Ranks before them were one of the most important tools they had, besides the entire grand formation and the Myriad Immortal Battle Spirits. But now it seemed unlikely that they would play a decisive role; they were probably only meant to delay the enemy for the time being.

"It seems we can only prove ourselves through sheer skill; ordinary methods are completely ineffective against the Supreme Heavenly Dragon." The Heavenly Emperor of the Underworld unleashed a powerful axe strike from behind, as if the entire Underworld were pressing down on Lu Xiaotian.

The other three Laws of Heaven and Earth also launched a simultaneous attack. Originally, he planned to use the Ten Thousand Immortals Battle Spirits in the great formation to wear down Lu Xiaotian and Yan Ji, but the appearance of the Nine Nether Weak Water forced them to change their plans and have to fight the final battle ahead of schedule.

Even if they can't kill or severely injure Lu Xiaotian, they should at least interfere with him and prevent him from controlling the Nine Nether Weak Water to break the formation.

"Well done!" The Azure Dragon behind Lu Xiaotian suddenly soared into the sky. Gone was the nonchalant attitude he had when suppressing the Myriad Killing True Spirit. The opponent was the Four Heavenly Emperors, whose combined strength was far beyond that of the Myriad Killing True Spirit. Moreover, they were inside this great formation, so Lu Xiaotian had to deal with it with all his might.

Dragon Soars Through the Void! As the Azure Dragon moved about, it seemed to appear simultaneously beside the four Heavenly and Earthly Dharma Images of the opponent. With a simple claw strike, the four Great Emperor Dharma Images blocked its attack. Boom! Boom! Boom! Violent explosions and turbulence followed one after another.

The Great Emperor's Dharma Image swayed violently, then his face showed surprise. Compared to the last battle, the opponent's strength had obviously improved, and the improvement was even greater than expected.

Their opponent had already reached the strength of a Supreme Heavenly Dragon, yet they still managed such a significant improvement. If they weren't within this grand formation, they would have already lost the ability to contend with them.

A terrifying wave swept outwards, and some of the Myriad Immortal Battle Spirits were instantly reduced to dust under its influence.

Lu Xiaotian frowned slightly. As they made their move, countless runes emerged from within the great formation, continuously absorbing the intense fluctuations and transmitting them outside the formation. He had originally intended to use the conflict of the battle to eliminate some of the battle spirits, but it seemed the Four Heavenly Emperors were prepared for this and hadn't given him that loophole. Yan Ji's predicament remained unresolved for the time being. (End of Chapter)
