Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 942: Fighting against each other
Zhang Tao looked at the Heavenly Kings who were still hesitating and said with a smile, "If you are unwilling to attack your fellow disciples, we will not force you."

He changed the subject, and said in a low voice, "Perhaps killing a few Heavenly Kings can make the Great Dao shake even more violently, and might even cause the Treacherous Emperor to be trapped in the Great Dao Universe."

It would be hilarious if a king actually died on his way to his arrival.

Of course, that possibility is unlikely. If he were truly in mortal danger, Emperor Ji could immediately tear open the spatial barrier and leave the Great Dao Universe.

However, he had only just left the Nine Heavens, and if he were to tear through the spatial barrier now, it was hard to say where he would end up.

Even if it appears in the Three Realms, it might be tens of millions of miles away.

Zhang Tao said this to force them to kill those true gods and emperors.

Those people are useless; they don't even qualify as cannon fodder. It's better to make use of them and delay the arrival of the Human Emperor.

Besides, they weren't the ones who did the dirty work. Even if the Emperor wants revenge in the future, he'll have to go after King Kan and the others first.

The Chaotic King said with a gloating look, "Didn't you hear the Sword Master tell you to continue? You're all ancient relics who have lived for tens of thousands of years, surely no one is still so naive!"

"If you don't offer a pledge of loyalty, how can I trust you?"

Chaos King, being a reckless man, speaks quite bluntly, directly stating the crux of the matter.

Of course, it's also possible that the Chaotic King needs the persona of a brute. He's currently all alone with no backing and his strength hasn't fully recovered, so pretending to be a brute would make others feel more at ease.

Li Zhu smiled and advised, "There's really no need for you all to hesitate too much."

If you do not take action, the Human Emperor will soon arrive, and a great war will inevitably break out.

Given their strength, they would undoubtedly die if caught in the crossfire.

Rather than let them die in vain, it's better to give them a chance to live, and I believe they would be willing to do so.

As long as these Heavenly Kings live, the lineage will not be broken. This is not betrayal, but preserving the flame.

After hearing what Li Zhu said, it seemed to make sense; even if they didn't take action, these people wouldn't survive.

Some true gods and emperors were actually swayed by these words. They felt that since they were going to die anyway, they might as well make their deaths more meaningful.

Immediately someone shouted, "Although Li Zhu isn't a good person, what he said makes sense this time. We don't want to sacrifice ourselves in vain. Senior Brother, you should do it!"

"Yes, as long as my senior brother is alive, the lineage of our Southern Emperor will not be broken. I don't want to be caught in the crossfire of the great war and die meaningless."

"Senior brother, don't hesitate, do it!"

"We are destined to perish here!"
This is life!

Senior brother, you don't need to feel guilty at all; this was all done voluntarily..."

"..."

The true gods and emperors below had long since given up hope and even asked the heavenly kings to take action.

Li Zhu truly lives up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran; he can make the idea of ​​fratricide sound so elegant and refined, even making them willingly seek death. There's no one else like him!

In reality, these people are ancient beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years. They couldn't possibly be fooled by a few words from Li Zhu. They just had no other choice.

There is an undeniable fact here: if these Heavenly Kings were to attack their fellow disciples, it would be tantamount to betraying their sect and breaking with the Emperor.

No matter how righteous their reasons may be, their status as traitors is predetermined.

Amidst the shouts, the already hesitant Heavenly Kings began to waver in their convictions.

Is it a difficult choice to risk the lives of your fellow disciples to save yourself, or to live and die with them?

Seeing that these people were beginning to waver, Fang Ping decided to add fuel to the fire. He said with a serious expression, "You all had better think it through!"
Even if you don't make a move, my senior brother Zhang won't let them get away with it.

He is a swordsman with extremely powerful sword intent!
Those killed by my senior brother will have their original Dao shattered, without even a chance to revive.

"With your intervention, they can still have a chance to live. You're not killing, you're saving lives!"

In fact, everyone had already noticed that the strange phenomena that occurred when Zhang Haoran killed people were different from others; the primordial path of death was fleeting.

Fang Ping directly pointed out that those he killed could not be brought back to life, which was to help the Heavenly Kings make up their minds. If they were to betray, they needed a plausible excuse, or at least some psychological comfort.

However, Fang Ping also kept a secret, not revealing the whole truth, and not saying that he could strip away his original Dao after killing someone.

Instead, they steered everyone's thinking in another direction, believing that Zhang Haoran's sword intent was too powerful, destroying the enemy's original Dao while slaying the physical body.

Sword intent can slay nothingness, so it's normal for it to destroy the fundamental Dao.

Li Zhu was even more convinced of this; if it weren't for the Myriad Realms Cauldron, his original planet would have been blown up long ago.

The commander sighed and said, "King Dui, don't hesitate any longer!"

If you don't take action, you'll die with them. Things have come to this point, so don't hold onto any illusions.

"Hurry up and do it, we won't give you much time to think."

Seeing the murderous gazes of the powerful figures around them, Dui Wang and the others sighed inwardly, completely dispelling any remaining hope.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Only by surviving can there be a future. As for resistance, forget about it. Their number of experts at the eighth level is the same as that of their Heavenly Kings.

The Heavenly Kings exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness. Powerful energy surged forth. Attacking their own fellow disciples would mean bearing a lifetime of infamy, so they decided to join forces. They didn't know who would kill them, which would make them feel a little better.

All the Heavenly Kings unleashed their power simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks downwards. The space of the patrol continent was torn apart, and those hideous cracks seemed to represent their shattered Dao hearts.

The moment they made their move, Emperor Fengtian released the seal on the Six Heavenly Kings, allowing them to unleash an even stronger attack.

Meanwhile, the nearly one hundred powerful individuals below remain sealed and are unable to receive any source blessing.

The strongest saints can only unleash a little over a million units of qi and blood, which is about the same as a true god. Some people don't even have the strength of a true god; their strength has already fallen to the ninth rank.

With the seven Heavenly Kings joining forces to kill a group of true gods, it was almost impossible for anything unexpected to happen.

Some of the powerful figures below were unwilling to accept this, as none of these Heavenly Kings were their senior brothers. If this attack were to strike, the sect's lineage would be severed.

"Even though an emperor has already descended to the mortal realm, why do they still have to die?" Someone roared in resentment, "You traitors will not have a good end. The Human Emperor will come down to settle accounts with you first."

I'll be waiting for you on the road to the underworld.

In the minds of these people, traitors are more hateful than enemies, and the first people the Human Emperor wants to kill when he descends to the mortal realm are these traitors.

Some people, however, remained calm.

They felt that Fang Ping's words made perfect sense; since the Heavenly Kings of the Three Realms were preparing to challenge the Emperor, they would not let them off the hook.

Rather than be killed by Zhang Haoran and suffer an eternal damnation, it's better to die at the hands of one's own people.

Some people were so unwilling to accept this that they directly confessed, preferring suicide rather than fulfilling the wishes of these traitors.

But no matter what choices they make, these people are destined to die in the end.

Rumble!
Attacks rained down, turning nearly a hundred powerful figures below into a bloody mist. Large swathes of the surrounding space shattered, and various laws intertwined, forming a desolate wasteland. This time, the Heavenly Kings showed no mercy, annihilating their spiritual bodies as well.

Although such a death is cruel, it does not mean there is no chance of resurrection; at least their original star is still there.

After annihilating nearly a hundred powerful individuals, the various attacks consumed the vast majority of their energy.

However, they still managed to create numerous large craters on the continent.

With so many Heavenly Kings attacking together, almost all the powerful figures below were wiped out. The reason for saying "almost" is that a few people were still alive, and they were all protected by golden light shields.

After all, the attacks of the seven Heavenly Kings were somewhat scattered and could not instantly kill those who possessed great treasures.

There is only one treasure that can withstand the combined attack of the seven Heavenly Kings: the Sage's Decree.

The pledge of allegiance from Kan Wang and his men is enough; there's no need for them to deliver the final blow.

Zhang Haoran felt a pang of heartache seeing so many powerful figures perish at once. Those were hundreds of Great Daos! Gone just like that.

He didn't stop it because he was considering the bigger picture.

These last few points are crucial and cannot be overlooked.

Those still alive are all saints. Killing them will not only allow us to plunder the Great Dao, but also the spiritual essence of the saints.

"At least they left me a sip of soup!"

Zhang Haoran swung his longsword, and a series of sharp sword beams shot out.

The next moment, the golden orbs of light exploded one after another, followed by screams of agony. The protection formed by the Saint's Decree could withstand the attacks of ordinary Heavenly Kings, but it could not stop his sword energy.

This is not only because Zhang Haoran's burst of energy is stronger, but also because the attack power of the sword energy is more concentrated.

"Boom!"

Nearly a hundred powerful figures perished simultaneously, causing the Great Dao to tremble violently. It was as if a crack had appeared in the sky, and blood flowed down like the Yangtze River. If any high-ranking martial artists were nearby, they might have been swept away by the blood.

The next moment, countless strange phenomena of falling objects filled the entire sky.

One after another, great paths appeared in the air, some long and some short. Most of the original paths remained intact, but a few were broken.

Several of the longest primordial paths also vanished in a flash. This contrast made everyone realize more clearly that the enemies killed by Zhang Haoran might truly be unable to be resurrected.

It's not that recovery is impossible, but rather that a greater price needs to be paid to recover, and the strength after recovery will drop to the ninth rank.

After all, he only stripped away the original Dao, without destroying the original star.

Crackling sounds seemed to fill the air as everyone listened.

Then, the strange phenomena in the sky began to change, and the alternating black and white scene reappeared, indicating that the problem with the Immortal Source this time was quite serious.

Fortunately, no Heavenly King perished this time, otherwise Immortal Source might not have been able to hold on.

Now, Xianyuan has transformed from a sprouting potato into a rambutan.

Hundreds of blood vessels ruptured simultaneously, and countless energies surged out with the blood flow. The eight emperors around them desperately used their primal force to stabilize the immortal source, their faces extremely gloomy.

If they hadn't made prior preparations and started reinforcing the Immortal Source long ago, something truly terrible might have happened this time.

"The powerful beings of the Three Realms are far too audacious! They slaughtered nearly a hundred powerful beings in one go."

"Didn't Ji already descend to the mortal realm? How could something like this still happen?"

The one who said this was the Beast King, and he was trying to hide his schadenfreude.

They didn't call them traitors, but rather powerful figures from the Three Realms, which was already giving face to the other emperors.

Ever since the God Emperor showed his killing intent towards him last time, the Beast Emperor has been living in constant fear, always feeling that the God Emperor would kill him to fill the pit.

From then on, the Beast King never dared to speak loudly again; he had been holding back for a long time.

Not only that, the Beast King has been hanging out with other emperors all this time, just in case the God Emperor catches him alone and tries to take him down.

The people who are dying now are not disciples of the Beast King.

His disciples were all demonic beasts, and because they had been ostracized by the crowd, they did not become patrolmen.

Now that he has seen all of the God Emperor's disciples perish, how could he not gloat?

Most importantly, those who attacked this time were disciples of various emperors, constituting fratricide.
Moreover, since those Heavenly Kings have already made their move, it's clear they intend to break with them.

This is blatant betrayal.

Whether they are sealed away or die at the hands of the Human Emperor in the future, the Beast Emperor will feel great. It feels really good to see others get slapped in the face.

"You all rejected me back then, now you've suffered a huge loss! Not only have you lost all your disciples, but you've also been betrayed."

Now let's see how you still have the nerve to be arrogant in front of me.

Sending the inspectors to the mortal realm this time was a complete disaster. It not only failed to deter others but also angered the powerful beings of the three realms.

In fact, the Beast King would prefer that the Human Emperor would perish, and then the God Emperor would take back the energy to fill the hole, so that he would be safe.

The Northern Emperor calmly said, "Don't worry, the energy tide won't limit Ji for long."

He will soon go and teach the powerful beings of the Three Realms a profound lesson, avenging your disciples.

The chief disciple of the Northern Imperial Palace was killed by Yue Ling. It was his own daughter cleaning up the sect, so the Northern Emperor didn't feel ashamed at all.

As for the other disciples, the Northern Emperor didn't care about them at all. There wasn't even a Heavenly King among them, so their deaths were no big deal.

The Western Emperor echoed, "Yes! Ji has already descended to the mortal realm, so there's no need to worry about the affairs of the Three Realms anymore."

As long as we ensure that there are no problems with the Immortal Source, we can leave everything else to Ji.

I just hope he doesn't go too far. If a few more Heavenly Kings die, the pressure on us will be immense.

Just like the God Emperor said, we just need to seal them away.

We can wait until the three realms are fully integrated before releasing them.

This will both prevent them from causing trouble during this period and give other strong individuals an opportunity to grow.

"I think the Divine Emperor's arrangement is excellent, achieving multiple benefits at once. We won't need to worry about it for the next period of time; we can just wait patiently."

The Western Emperor was not worried about Tianji's safety at all, after all, he was still alive.

If Emperor Ji dared to seal both the Heavenly-level being and the Moon Spirit together, he would absolutely not mind joining forces with the Northern Emperor to kill them and fill the hole. Even if each of them could only get half of the source, filling the source land would still have a good effect.

If Lin Zi's spiritual seed is inserted, it might be possible to escape this predicament.

The Western Emperor only has over 80 million units of vital energy, placing him at the bottom of the power hierarchy. He is among the most likely emperors to perish, so he must seize every opportunity to escape.
