Traveling across the globe for the first time

Chapter 957: Targeting from the Great Dao Universe

Whoosh! A series of energy storms swept by, carrying away pieces of flesh and blood from the already mangled body.

The treacherous Emperor Ji didn't care much about this. He took out a pill and swallowed it. A golden light flashed, and his shattered internal organs and missing flesh and blood began to recover rapidly.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Sword Master! Chaos! And Zhang Tao! You guys are really something, actually managing to push this emperor to this point."

"And King Dui and those traitors, once I descend upon the Three Realms, I will settle accounts with you one by one."

The treacherous Emperor Ji hated these people to the core; he had never been so humiliated before.

He had already forgotten the God Emperor's instructions and had no intention of sealing them all. Since there were so many powerful figures besieging him this time, sealing most of them would be enough.

Those who have thoroughly offended him should be eliminated! As for those like Tianji and Yueling, who have powerful backgrounds but cannot cause him any trouble, he can consider beating them up and then letting them go. Having a few Heavenly Kings in charge can also prevent chaos in the Three Realms.

With these thoughts in mind, the injuries on the treacherous Emperor Ji's body healed rapidly.

With a snap, he channeled his qi and blood to straighten the broken bones, which quickly recovered under the influence of the medicine.

He examined himself and found that his injuries were quite severe. His physical injuries could heal, but at most his defense would be reduced.

Many attacks also involve psychological assaults and attacks on one's very being.

This caused some damage to his spiritual body and his original Dao.

"Click! Click!"

Black cracks appeared on the newly restored golden body. These cracks were not deep, but they were very dense.

boom!
Several cracks connected together, a piece of flesh detached from the body, and turned to ashes in the next moment.

"Hmm? Something seems off. How did these cracks appear?"

The flesh and blood that had turned to ashes dimmed somewhat after they recovered, before he could analyze the situation in detail.

Suddenly, an even more terrifying force descended, ignoring all his defenses.

Emperor Ji felt the energy within his body rapidly draining away, and his golden body, honed over countless years, was being broken down bit by bit.

What is being decomposed now is the foundation of his golden body, which will cause a permanent decrease in the strength of the golden body, which cannot be restored by any means.

"Buzz!"

An invisible force swept over, and the speed at which the golden body was disintegrated increased several times over.

"How could this be?"

The treacherous Emperor Ji's face turned extremely ugly.

He discovered that it wasn't just his physical body that was being decomposed; his spiritual body and primordial Dao were also crumbling little by little under the influence of this force, and his overall strength was decreasing at a visible rate.

He quickly figured out what was going on. Even when his physical body entered the Great Dao Universe without any protection, he would not suffer such exaggerated damage.

With the blessing of the special Great Dao, Li Changsheng's physical body could persist in the Origin Universe for ten seconds, while Fang Ping's Origin Body roamed for a long time without being decomposed.

Even if he, as an emperor, lost his protection, he shouldn't have suffered such great harm.

There is only one possibility for this situation: he has been targeted by the Great Dao Universe, which has amplified the power acting on him by hundreds or thousands of times.

Come to think of it, the treacherous emperor forcibly dispersed the energy tides, causing a large number of primordial stars to shatter. Afterwards, he used brute force to break through the cosmic barrier and even fought with powerful beings from the Three Realms there.

It's only natural that he was targeted by the Great Dao Universe. It's already very merciful that the Great Dao's lightning didn't strike him to death directly!

Now the treacherous Emperor Ji was truly panicked. If he were to be disintegrated by the Great Dao Universe, he would be doomed to never be reborn. Even if reincarnation were established in the future, he would have no chance of being reincarnated.

If one were to perish in the Great Dao Universe, perhaps even one's soul and true spirit would be disintegrated.

However, it won't be easy for him to condense golden light that can withstand the decomposition again. It will take at least some time, and given the extent to which he is being targeted, that golden light may not even be effective.

His strength is declining every moment; if it drops too much, he's doomed.

If you rush out, you'll be surrounded and beaten to death by powerful figures from the Three Realms; if you escape back to the Nine Heavens, you'll be slaughtered to fill the pit—it's all the same dead end.

In this world, the strong are respected. Without such formidable strength, he is nothing.

The only way to survive now is to return to the Three Realms as soon as possible.

The treacherous emperor was, after all, an ancient being who had lived for tens of thousands of years, and his heart was as hard as iron. He quickly calmed down from his panic.

"Haste makes waste. We can no longer act so recklessly! I must descend upon the Three Realms through proper means."

He endured the immense pain of his golden body being disintegrated and exerted all his strength to activate his primordial Dao.

The treacherous emperor began to establish a passage to the Three Realms using the laws he had mastered. This was a normal operation and would not be targeted by the Great Dao Universe. What used to be a simple matter was now somewhat obscure.

Being targeted by the Great Dao Universe and unable to freely mobilize the power of laws is only one aspect; the injuries he suffered before were too severe!
A full-force attack from dozens of Heavenly Kings is not something you can easily withstand.

Time passed slowly, but for the treacherous Emperor Ji, each second felt like an eternity. In this short period of time, he had already lost tens of millions of units of his maximum health and mana.

call!
He let out a long sigh of relief; the passage was finally open.

Now we can see the powerful figures from the Three Realms standing ready, and Zhang Haoran with a provocative expression.

The treacherous Emperor Ji remained extremely calm, looking out at the outside world with a cold expression. He did not immediately take action; if he rashly rushed out and was then blasted back, he would be doomed.

Just as he predicted, dozens of attacks came at the moment the passage opened.

However, once those attacks entered the Great Dao Universe, most of their power was instantly dissipated, and by the time they reached him, they could no longer cause him any harm.

Human Emperor Ji took a deep breath and released his blood energy again to support the protective light barrier. Although this protection could not withstand the decomposition of the Great Dao Universe, it could withstand the attacks of the powerful beings of the Three Realms.

"You ants of the Three Realms, await my revenge! The majesty of an emperor cannot be challenged!"

The next moment, an extremely powerful surge of energy erupted. The treacherous Emperor Ji used a burst-type secret technique to increase his speed to the extreme, instantly teleporting through the passage and appearing in the Three Realms.

The treacherous emperor Ji immediately felt a sense of relief throughout his body; that terrifying power had finally disappeared!
It gave him the feeling of a trapped dragon ascending to heaven.

We were just targeted too badly by the Great Dao Universe!
His physical body, spiritual body, and even his original Dao were partially broken down, causing his overall strength to drop significantly.

But before he could even catch his breath, the clear sound of a sword ringing out rang in his ears again.

"Zheng!"

Another sword beam came slashing at him at an extremely fast speed, giving him no time to adjust.

Not everyone launched an attack just now.

In fact, none of the strongest beings made a move. Those attacks from those who had broken through to the sixth and seventh levels were merely stalling for time. Everyone had witnessed the predicament that the treacherous emperor had faced before.

Every second he stayed in the Great Dao Universe weakened his strength. Unfortunately, the treacherous Emperor Ji was too decisive, even resorting to a self-destructive secret technique to push his speed to the limit. Even Zhang Haoran couldn't react in time. If he had struck earlier and blasted the opponent back, he would have been doomed.

However, the group's attack was not without results; at least they managed to stop the enemy's charge.

"Boom boom boom!"

The eleven attacks from supreme experts struck the protective light barrier, causing Emperor Ji to pause. He decisively stopped his secret technique. Since he had already descended to the Three Realms, there was no need to use the secret technique anymore; his previous losses were already great enough.

Zhang Haoran calmly directed his men to keep attacking, giving the enemy no time to adjust.

"Senior Tianbi, prepare for close combat and make sure the enemy doesn't get close."

Others continue attacking.

"Prepare for the Primordial Martial World! Prepare for the Heaven-Sealing Technique!"

He didn't use telepathy when he said these words. Anyway, the emperor had been observing from the Nine Heavens for so many years, and he already knew what methods everyone had.

Revealing it beforehand can put some pressure on the other side. If the treacherous Emperor Ji is wary of the Heaven-Sealing Technique and the Primordial Martial World, he will have to spare some attention to guard against it. This can also be considered a way to weaken the enemy's strength.

Zhang Haoran, Feng Tiandi, and several novice martial artists had already agreed on a secret signal. They would only act upon receiving the signal. Shouting it out directly now was just an attempt to intimidate the other party.

"Boom boom boom!"

The attacks came in waves, making the protective light barrier erected by the treacherous emperor teeter on the brink of collapse, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.

Zhang Haoran then discovered the weakness of this shield: when blocking attacks, the treacherous emperor could not launch ranged attacks.

Only when the attack lands on the light barrier can a limited counterattack be launched, shattering some of the continuous killing moves.

Zhang Haoran narrowed his eyes and shouted, "A three-stage attack, each stage requires the participation of two supreme experts..."

Then, he quickly made arrangements.

With the six supreme experts coordinating their attacks, Zhang Haoran and the remaining four experts were prepared for close combat, confident that their opponents wouldn't remain passively attacked indefinitely.

After some adjustments, everyone's attacks became more organized, with a continuous stream of deadly moves striking the light screen.

Boom boom boom!
A series of violent explosions rang out, turning the location where the treacherous emperor Ji was located into a black hole.

This rhythmic attack forced the opponent into a position where they could not retaliate.

If he wants to retaliate, he'll have to remove the light barrier first, and then he'll get a beating.

Moreover, several supreme experts were watching closely nearby, ready to intercept at any moment.

For a time, the treacherous emperor Ji was truly suppressed and unable to move.

Seeing that the mighty emperor had been brutally beaten and sent back to the Great Dao Universe, and was now unable to fight back, the crowd's confidence soared, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

Boom boom boom!
Explosions rang out continuously as various colored attacks struck the light screen, creating large ripples.

Those present were all Heavenly Kings, top powerhouses in the Three Realms. Through continuous attacks, they gradually figured out some patterns and began to cooperate with each other. Their attacks no longer caused interference and instead unleashed even greater power.

Battle is always the best catalyst. Seeing the former high and mighty emperors now being suppressed and beaten by them, many people's mentality is improved and their strength becomes stronger.

Especially those old-timers who have been stuck at a bottleneck, their mindset has changed the most. I believe that as long as they have time to carefully comprehend it, they will soon be able to break through their current level.

Zhang Haoran's mindset improved the most, since he had been in command the whole time. He had been a little uneasy before, but he relaxed after seeing the treacherous Emperor Ji being suppressed.

Swordsmen usually travel alone and rarely cooperate with so many strong individuals. This new experience has deepened his understanding of the way of the sword, and now each of his sword strikes is slightly stronger than the last.

Unbeknownst to them, the treacherous emperor's legacy had transformed from a mountain weighing down on everyone into a whetstone.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Haoran snapped out of his euphoric state and realized something was amiss.

The treacherous emperor appeared to be severely suppressed, with no power to fight back.

However, this level of attack cannot cause much damage to the opponent; at most, it will only consume some energy.

The emperor has already completed the absorption of the Dao into his body, and his original source has only increased by one time. He does not rely much on external forces, and the opponent can replenish this level of consumption quickly.

When the treacherous Emperor Ji saw Zhang Haoran looking over, he sneered and said, "Heh! You think you can keep suppressing me like this? You're too naive!"

The emperor's majesty cannot be challenged; you shall die!

"boom!"

A powerful surge of energy erupted. Although the treacherous emperor was still holding up the protective light barrier, he was already gathering his energy.

His aura also began to grow stronger.

"Everyone, keep attacking! Supreme experts, get ready! The Treacherous Emperor might unleash a powerful attack!"

Zhang Haoran directed the operation methodically while secretly gathering his trump card, ready to deal with any unexpected events.

It's normal for the other side to retaliate; constantly being on the defensive like this makes him uneasy.

Zhang Haoran had initially thought his opponent would unleash a powerful attack soon and was fully prepared, but several minutes passed and Jian Huangji remained on the defensive, showing no intention of counterattacking.

After waiting a while, he began to lose patience.

"Holy crap! What's going on? What happened to the big move we were promised? Why hasn't it happened yet?"

The Heavenly King of Zhen reminded him, "The Emperor Ji has used most of his vital energy to strengthen his defense! It doesn't seem like he's preparing for a counterattack, but rather that he's stalling for time."

Upon hearing what the Heavenly King said, he immediately began to observe carefully and discovered that the other party was indeed stalling for time.

The Emperor's condition has improved considerably; the protective light barrier has become thicker and more difficult to break.

"Damn it, as expected of an old silver coin, still trying to play dirty tricks at a time like this. Even if you recover, what can you do?"
Anyone who dares to lower their defenses will get a beating first, and will still get injured.

Although he said that, he was still somewhat unwilling. It seems that his fear of the emperor was real, and everyone believed him when he said he would fight back.

They didn't consider whether the other person's injuries were too severe and whether they were delaying their recovery.

However, the treacherous emperor was not pleased by this.

In truth, his heart was bleeding. The attack from the powerful beings of the Three Realms had not caused him much harm; it was merely a physical injury that did not damage his fundamental health and he could recover quickly.

However, the disintegration of the Great Dao Universe caused him unimaginable damage, not only injuring his physical body but also affecting his spiritual body and the Origin Dao.

His vital energy and mental strength limits had been greatly reduced. That was when he was at his most vulnerable. If his defenses had been broken then, he would have been in danger of dying.

Fortunately, the emperor's remaining power was still there. As soon as he threatened to launch a counterattack, everyone became fully alert and did not suspect that he was bluffing.
