Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 956: The Crisis of the Treacherous Emperor

In essence, the Great Dao Universe is a higher existence than the Three Realms.

Even the most powerful players won't fare well if they're targeted by them.

Therefore, the treacherous emperor decided to take a gamble and descend upon the Three Realms as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth, unleashing his qi and blood, his mental power, and even mobilizing all the characteristics of his original Dao to create an all-around, flawless defense. He refused to believe that anyone could stop him in this state.

Boundless golden light shone from the projection of the Great Dao, and the feeling of the universe being turned upside down immediately disappeared.

No matter how much the Chaotic King increased his output, it had no effect.

He was only at the eighth level after all. He could make the treacherous Emperor Ji suffer a small loss when caught off guard, but he could not directly confront the Emperor's Great Dao.

Despite the pressure from the spatial barrier, the treacherous Emperor Ji continued to charge outwards, braving the barrage of killing attacks.

But he had only sprinted less than two hundred meters and hadn't fully picked up his speed when he suddenly felt the sky darken and an ancient, large cauldron press down on him.

Zhang Tao laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Ji, you'd better stay put! As the previous Human Emperor, you've already caused enough harm to the human race, so don't go on to wreak havoc on the Three Realms."

A surge of spatial power erupted, suppressing everything with overwhelming force. This was the power unleashed by a top-tier divine artifact. Even though the opponent had already deployed all their defenses, they were momentarily immobilized.

While the opponent was resisting the spatial power with all their might, an extremely strange aura of the Great Dao began to quietly invade their sea of ​​consciousness, changing their perception.

The treacherous Emperor Ji had never encountered such a bizarre method before, and caught off guard, he fell into the trap. He suddenly felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense. The emperor had not appeared to manage the three realms for eight thousand years, and should not descend at this time. If he returned to the Great Dao Universe, he would not have to face the wrath of the powerful beings of the three realms.

This time, Zhang Tao went all out. He not only activated the spatial laws within the Myriad Realms Cauldron to suppress the enemy, but also used the Way of Education to interfere with them. It was a two-pronged approach.

This was undoubtedly a very risky move for Zhang Tao, whose strength was only at the seventh level. If the opponent launched a full-scale counterattack, he would be in deep trouble, since the difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out; it turned out that during the time he was dazed, the pressure from the barrier had caused cracks in the protective light screen.

Sensing the danger, the treacherous emperor immediately came to his senses.

He was really panicking this time.

"How dare you! Do you think you can interfere with my judgment?"

He roared, unleashing his full mental power, instantly dispersing the mental power invading his sea of ​​consciousness. Then, his divine sense transformed into a sharp sword, slashing fiercely at the cauldron.

He wanted to make the person who dared to change his perception pay a heavy price, so he used all his strength in this attack.

The treacherous emperor could sense that the opponent's spiritual power was not strong, only at the level of breaking through the seventh level. Once struck by the longsword, even if the opponent did not collapse, he would be severely injured.

This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre Dao, one that could actually alter others' perceptions—this ability was far too dangerous! This person absolutely could not be allowed to live.

However, before the longsword could strike the cauldron, the cauldron, which had been enormous and blocked the entire spatial rift, instantly shrank to the size of a palm.

Moreover, it skillfully avoided the longsword and flew quickly into the distance.

Zhang Tao said with a smile, "My strength is only at the seventh level, I don't have the ability to fight a king head-on. That's just bluffing to buy some time."

I never expected that a dignified emperor would be frightened.

Your protective light barrier is about to shatter; don't get crushed!

Zhang Tao was very self-aware, knowing the vast difference in strength between himself and a king, so he had already prepared to retreat when he launched his attack.

The spiritual energy that entered the other party's sea of ​​consciousness was directly severed by him, and even if it was shattered, it would not affect the physical body.

The Myriad Realms Cauldron only used the laws of space to suppress the opponent for a moment before shrinking back and giving the opponent no chance to retaliate.

The great battle has just begun. Zhang Tao, wielding a divine weapon, is an important support force and cannot afford to get injured right from the start.

However, Zhang Tao's risky move turned out to be extremely fatal.

His final delay led to the tragedy of the treacherous emperor's reign, marking the first clash between the old and new emperors.

The previous emperor's reign ended in tragedy.

The Yangtze River's waves push the previous waves forward, and a new generation replaces the old.

It can only be said that after losing the throne of the human emperor, the fate of the treacherous emperor was no longer on his side.

Click, click! Click!

A cracking sound rang out, and the pressure from the Great Dao Universe grew stronger and stronger. The protective light barrier erected by the Treacherous Emperor was beginning to give way.

He glanced unwillingly at the Three Realms, realizing he couldn't break through and could only retreat back to the Great Dao Universe to recuperate.

When he comes out again next time, he will definitely face an even fiercer attack. The energy storm behind him is also giving him a headache, but there is no other way. If he doesn't retreat now, it will be too late!
However, he can't just come and go as he pleases now. He can't just turn back without paying a price. How could that be possible?

"Zheng!"

A crisp sword cry rang out, and a sword beam pierced the protective light barrier at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still. The treacherous Emperor Ji stared at the sword light in disbelief. His first thought was that there was a second extremely powerful swordsman in the Three Realms.

He would never believe it if Zhang Haoran said it was the second sword strike. Apart from Chaos King and Zhang Tao, no one else's first wave of attacks had even arrived yet. Even if you are fast enough, where would you get the energy to launch an attack?

It's important to understand that it takes time for the original Qi to transform into Qi and blood.

Under normal circumstances, no one could do that, but Zhang Haoran is a cheat code! His health is replenished by the system, so it's instantaneous. Plus, he used the fast sword style this time, which allowed him to launch a second attack in a short time.

Moreover, this time they used the Star Point Sword Technique, which breaks through the surface by focusing on a single point, making it most suitable for attacking strong points.

Centered on the point where the sword's edge struck, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the protective light barrier.

Bang! The sword light exploded, and the powerful impact became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

next moment!
With a deafening roar, the protective light barrier shattered completely.

"puff!"

The violent backlash caused the treacherous Emperor Ji to spit out a mouthful of blood.

However, this was only the beginning. The backlash of his qi and blood caused him to pause and fail to retreat in time. Dozens of Heavenly Kings' killing moves followed closely behind. The treacherous Emperor Ji was in the crack, surrounded by the Great Dao and the universe's barriers on all sides, leaving him nowhere to dodge.

His body's defenses had just shattered, and coupled with the backlash, he could only watch helplessly as dozens of attacks hurtled towards him.

Everything was coordinated perfectly.

All of this was under Zhang Haoran's command.

Although he wasn't as good at strategizing as Li Zhu and Zhang Tao, when it came to combat wisdom and the ability to seize opportunities, he was second to none.

Moreover, swordsmen always have the sharpest eyesight and unparalleled ability to seize opportunities in battle.

He had already made a series of arrangements when he saw that the other side wanted to forcefully break through the barrier.

While the treacherous Emperor Ji was trapped at the fortress, everyone launched the first round of attacks. Boom boom boom boom!

A barrage of blade light, sword energy, spear light, fist shadows, palm prints... and various killing moves formed from the power of laws all struck the treacherous emperor.

Dozens of attacks landed without missing their mark, shattering the golden light on his body and scattering countless drops of blood, turning the ever-pressing spatial barrier golden.

Tianji laughed loudly, "Haha! I hit him! I, a mere sixth-level Heavenly King, actually hit an Emperor."

The Qian King exclaimed excitedly, "Not only did it hit, it also broke through the defense! I can also break through the Emperor's Golden Body!"

In a situation where there is absolutely no way to defend against it, the Seven Heavenly Kings can indeed break through the physical body of an emperor. However, this situation is extremely rare, and no emperor can be ambushed by the Seven Heavenly Kings.

Now, under Zhang Haoran's command, it has truly happened.

Shi Po said arrogantly, "So what if you're an emperor? You still got beaten to a pulp by me."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The celestial dog barked wildly, "Not enough! Not enough! My claws are still not as good as my teeth."

"Ji, you better come out here right now, let me take a good bite."

"You treacherous Emperor Ji, remember this: that knife wound on your face was inflicted by my side. If you want revenge, come find me!"

Fang Ping was very excited because his sword had struck the treacherous emperor's face and blinded him in one eye. Breaking through to the seventh level and being able to disfigure an emperor was something he could brag about for a lifetime.

Hongkun said excitedly, "Well done, Sword Master! You're in charge of this battle. I'll follow your orders."

At this moment, he finally saw hope of defeating the emperor.

Even Mo Wenjian, who had been keeping a cold face, nodded in agreement. His killing intent became even more intense, and his strength seemed to have improved.

Ever since he witnessed everything that happened back then within the boundary point, realizing it was all a conspiracy by the emperors, he has been so frightened that he has become somewhat mentally unstable.

Now that he had personally struck the emperor with his sword, most of his inner demons had disappeared.

The emperor is not invincible; he just pierced the emperor's heart with his own hands.

With a somewhat dazed look in his eyes, King Dui murmured, "You were the ones who abandoned me first! We've been together in the Nine Heavens for eight thousand years, yet you refused to show yourselves. This is retribution."

King Kan and his men were extremely excited; they had truly become traitors, even turning against their own side in the face of battle.

If the treacherous Emperor Ji had successfully descended upon the Three Realms, he would have been the first to settle scores with them.

Therefore, the Heavenly Kings who had just betrayed the Heavenly Kings all used their full strength when they attacked, and some even used secret techniques to enhance their attacks.

They were very satisfied with the results.

Even if they can't kill the treacherous emperor this time, as long as they can severely injure him and prevent him from recovering in a short period of time, they won't have to worry about being retaliated against anymore.

Feng Tianwang was very excited because he had just punched and shattered the emperor's kidney. However, he was not in a hurry to proclaim his victory. Instead, he excitedly asked in a telepathic message, "Sword Master! When do we use the Heaven-Sealing Technique?"

Zhang Haoran was also very excited, because all of this was accomplished under his command; he had successfully prevented the emperor's arrival.
But he wasn't blinded by victory. He knew that this was only a partial victory, and with the strength of an emperor, he wouldn't die from this level of attack!

So he calmly said, "Don't rush, wait for orders!"

We should wait until he has completely left the Great Dao Universe before discussing this further.

Otherwise, I fear that activating the Heaven-Sealing Technique and the Primordial Martial World might lead to unforeseen circumstances.

Because the opponent could physically enter the Great Dao Universe, he dared not easily activate the Heaven-Sealing Technique and the Primordial Martial World. The physical attack power was much stronger than the original body. No matter how solid the Heaven-Sealing Gate was, it could not withstand an attack from an emperor.

Therefore, he will not unleash his ultimate move until the treacherous emperor is completely restrained and unable to escape.

Even if the Heaven-Sealing Technique fails to activate, it doesn't matter; we can simply activate it again.

The initial stage of martial arts is different. Each activation requires a huge price. Even with the Heaven-Sealing Technique, an initial martial artist may not necessarily lose their life, but they will still suffer severe damage to their vital energy.

So, there is only one chance.

It must be saved for a critical moment.

Actually, there was another thing that worried Zhang Haoran: the other party had participated in the great battle with Chuwu back then, and should know a lot about Chuwu World. Maybe he already had a way to break it.

The method was not passed on because these beginners were still useful.

We must choose the right time to make this move.

The Initial Martial World can only be activated when the opponent is completely suppressed and has no spare energy.

The original plan was that if the Emperor's strength was too great, even the combined forces of everyone would be unable to withstand him, then the Heaven-Sealing Technique and the Primordial Martial World would be used to weaken him first. Now that the Treacherous Emperor has suffered heavy losses before even descending upon the Three Realms, then it will be used as a trump card to prepare for the final victory.

Looking at the excited crowd.

Zhang Haoran cautioned, "The treacherous emperor isn't dead yet, so don't get too excited."

We have only achieved a partial victory; we must not be careless. From now on, all actions must be carried out under command.

All the killing moves just now hit the treacherous Emperor Ji, causing tons of damage.

This greatly boosted everyone's morale, filled them with excitement, and instilled confidence in victory.

As the saying goes, once a god sheds blood, he is no longer a god.

These injuries were inflicted by their own hands.

However, every emperor has fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They all started from weakness and gradually climbed to the pinnacle of this world, truly standing at the very top.

It is impossible to be easily defeated because of one mistake.

The treacherous Emperor Ji is not so easy to deal with. I just didn't expect the powerful figures of the Three Realms to make their move so quickly and at such a precise time, which is why I suffered a great loss.

The moment he realized what was happening, he immediately used the impact of everyone's killing moves to push himself back into the Great Dao Universe.

However, this came at a price. The beating from the crowd not only shattered the golden body of the treacherous Emperor Ji, but also dispersed the golden light emanating from his body.

It's important to understand that the reason why emperors unleashed a sky full of golden light when traversing the Great Dao Universe wasn't to enhance their prestige; that golden light had practical uses.
Only with golden light protecting him could he be prevented from being disintegrated when his physical body traversed the Great Dao Universe.

Now that the golden light has been dispersed, and he has been blasted back into the Great Dao Universe, he is about to face a true life-or-death crisis.

The first thing to hit was an energy storm; the faster he charged forward, the worse he is now.

These normally docile energies, used to restore a martial artist's blood and spirit, can be quite terrifying once they form an energy storm.

The treacherous emperor was swept away by a storm, feeling like a small boat that could capsize at any moment.

Every time a storm blows by, it takes away glittering pieces of his flesh and blood.
