Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 108 Cang Emperor
Lu Xuan could feel that the dual Dao Fruits that had begun to merge within his body were undergoing an unprecedentedly rapid and profound integration and consolidation during this unimaginably high-intensity and high-frequency battle.

Chaos is no longer merely about containment and evolution; it also carries the absolute sharpness and indomitable fighting spirit of the Immortal Path.

The will to fight is no longer just about attack and indomitable spirit, but also incorporates the vast origin of chaos and infinite variables.

With each breath he took, he exhaled a massive amount of chaotic energy and the killing intent of the battlefield.

Each of his heartbeats was like the beating of a chaotic drum, subtly resonating with the destructive rhythm of this land of destruction.

However, the number and variety of dark creatures seem to be truly endless.

The lingering fragrance of the Boundary Annihilation still lingers, like the sweetest poison bait, attracting more greedy and powerful beings from the depths of the Boundary Sea.

The newly emerged enemies are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.

There are dark symbiotes—several or even dozens of weaker dark creatures that fuse together in a bizarre way, resulting in a geometric increase in their strength, speed, defense, and regeneration. They also possess multiple cores, making them difficult to kill with a single blow.

Lu Xuan had to use a more sophisticated chaotic decomposition power, combined with the penetrating attack of the Battle Immortal Dao Fruit, to peel away the layers and break down the symbiotic nodes one by one. The process was complicated and dangerous.

There are law-distorters—they may not be the most powerful, but they are adept at distorting the laws of spacetime, causal logic, and even energy properties in localized areas, creating extreme traps such as gravity anomaly zones, time flow disorder zones, and energy backlash zones.

Lu Xuan needed to constantly use the stable domain formed by his fused Dao Fruit to fight against these distortions. Fighting in this strange law environment was like dancing in a sea of ​​fire and knives, which was extremely taxing.

There were also dark summoners—they didn't directly engage in combat, but instead hid in the distance, constantly chanting ancient dark incantations to summon a continuous stream of dark servants, vengeful spirit projections, and even briefly condense dark heroic warriors from the void. These summoned creatures varied in strength, but their sheer number was almost limitless, greatly consuming Lu Xuan's energy and power in an attempt to wear him down.

"Roar--!"

A terrifying monster, formed from the symbiotic fusion of seven dark dragons, spewed out different types of destructive breaths from its seven heads, blocking all of Lu Xuan's escape routes from seven directions.

Lu Xuan's eyes were icy cold. Instead of retreating, he advanced and charged directly at the dragon head that was spewing out the breath that eroded time!
The flow of time around him suddenly changed, as if he were going against the current, narrowly avoiding the beam of light that could cause everything to age and decay rapidly.

At the same time, he clasped his hands together, and an ancient spear formed entirely of chaotic true-color light appeared between his palms!

"break!"

He hurled his spear! Ignoring spatial distance, the spear instantly appeared at the core link of the symbiotic monster—the aberration where the spines of the seven demonic dragons converged!

"Pfft—Boom!"

The spear struck precisely, unleashing a terrifying burst of chaotic decomposition power and the penetrating power of a battle immortal!
The seven demonic dragons simultaneously let out a bloodcurdling scream, and the unbreakable symbiotic link was forcibly shattered! The monster's massive body was torn to pieces, transforming back into seven heavily wounded demonic dragons, their auras plummeting.

Lu Xuan seized the opportunity, his figure moving like lightning, weaving rapidly between the seven demonic dragons, using fists, palms, fingers, elbows, knees...

Every part of its body transformed into the most lethal weapon, wreathed in chaotic true light, each attack precisely striking the dragon's vitals or old wounds!
"Bang bang bang bang...!"

The continuous muffled thuds were like the drumbeats of death.

In just a few breaths, Lu Xuan brutally blasted the seven powerful dark dragons into seven clouds of blood mist with his close-quarters combat. The dark essence was completely refined by the chaotic energy.

He was breathing slightly heavily, his chest heaving, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, but were immediately evaporated by the high temperature on his skin. Defeating this symbiotic monster repeatedly had taken a toll on him.

However, he was not given any chance to catch his breath.

In the surrounding void, countless dark vengeful spirit projections, like locusts, swarmed in once more. They were the work of the dark summoner; each individual was fragile, but their numbers numbered in the billions, carrying endless negative emotions and a faint corrosive power.

Further away, several spaces rippled like water, and new, even more obscure, dark figures were slowly coalescing and stepping out...

Lu Xuan wiped away a non-existent trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. The flames of war burning in his eyes showed no sign of extinguishing. On the contrary, due to the continuous high pressure and exhaustion, they became even purer and more intense.

He took a deep breath, as if trying to inhale the surrounding atmosphere of destruction and darkness into his lungs and turn it into fuel.

"Come on... let's see who has the most..."

"My fighting spirit is still stronger!"

He murmured to himself and once again bravely faced the seemingly endless dark tide.

Fists flash and swords clashed, roars and howls filled the air on this destructive battlefield destined to be recorded in ancient history, where the most primal and brutal life-or-death struggle continued to unfold.

There was no declaration of victory, only the continuation of the battle.

Every moment, they teetered on the edge of life and death.

Every strike is a balance between consumption and replenishment.

Lu Xuan's figure, like an unsinkable reef in a storm, or a moth drawn to a raging flame, was moving forward with difficulty and determination towards the gate to the Emperor Realm, which seemed both unattainable and within reach, in this extreme confrontation.

The battles in the border sea seemed endless.

Lu Xuan was like a tireless god of chaos, rising and falling, fighting in the endless dark tides.

The ruins beneath his feet had long since turned into the finest dust, and were dispersed by the aftershocks of the battle. Now, the place where he stood was a pure, repeatedly shattered "nothingness" domain in the void of the Boundary Sea.

The corpses of the dark creatures piled up into mountains, only to be continuously annihilated by subsequent impacts or by Lu Xuan's own refining power.

Blood and shattered dark laws have turned the boundary sea of ​​this region into a turbid sea that constantly churns and emits an ominous dark red hue.

Lu Xuan's breathing became heavy, and the chaotic true light around him was no longer as intense and dazzling as it had been at the beginning, but became more condensed and restrained, like refined steel, with each flash carrying the sharpness to destroy all laws.

On his royal body, a wound that was difficult to heal instantly finally appeared—a scorch mark grazed by a dark ray containing the characteristics of "return to nothingness," and a shallow cut cleaved by a cursed blade, surrounded by the stubbornly corrosive laws.

But his eyes were brighter and more fervent than ever before! Fight! Slaughter! Walking the line between life and death! Drawing strength from destruction!

He could clearly feel that the fusion of the two Dao Fruits within his body had reached a critical juncture. Chaos and battle intent were no longer simply intertwined, but were beginning to nurture something more essential and sublime. The barrier that stood between the king and the emperor was groaning under the immense pressure and battle, and cracks were spreading slowly but steadily.

"Not enough...not enough! Bring it on!"

He roared inwardly, slamming a dark behemoth attempting to self-destruct, along with its detonating core, into the chaos with a single punch, forcibly suppressing and refining it. His gaze swept towards the distance, to the still lingering, restless dark shadows.

However, just as his fighting spirit reached another peak, and he was preparing to launch another offensive—

The entire battlefield of the border sea suddenly froze.

It is not that time stands still, but rather an absolute suppression originating from the level of life and the origin of the Great Dao, silencing all things and forcing the laws to bow down.

The churning, murky sea has calmed down.

The dark shadows peering from afar seemed frozen in place.

Even the boiling power within Lu Xuan's body felt a chilling, stagnant sensation emanating from above.

A figure appeared silently in the very center of the battlefield, directly in front of Lu Xuan.

He was shrouded in a dense darkness that seemed to devour all light, his figure blurred, only a vague human outline discernible. He did not deliberately exude any pressure, but his mere presence transformed this vast area of ​​the Boundary Sea into his "Imperial Domain."

Dark matter automatically formed a throne beneath his feet, and broken laws reformed into obscure totems behind him. His gaze, like two ancient ice prisons, fell upon Lu Xuan.

It's the Azure Emperor!
That dark quasi-immortal emperor whose imperial body was almost shattered by the nameless quasi-immortal emperor, but who was rebuilt and returned by relying on the "Eternal Reincarnation Pill"!
He had clearly arrived long ago, and perhaps had been observing for quite some time. His appearance at this moment was not because Lu Xuan had slaughtered countless dark creatures, but because... the potential and "state" that Lu Xuan displayed stirred a cold ripple in his usually calm and unwavering imperial heart.

"An...interesting bug."

The Azure Emperor spoke, his voice hoarse and grand, as if countless worlds were whispering at the same time. Every syllable contained the weight of the Dark Dao, causing Lu Xuan's blood and qi to surge and his Dao Fruit to tremble slightly.

"To have reached this level from a mere King Realm cultivator. The fusion of two Dao Fruits? Chaos and battle intent? That's quite ingenious."

The Azure Emperor's gaze was like the most precise Dao principle scan, seeing through Lu Xuan inside and out. That gaze made Lu Xuan feel extremely dangerous and uncomfortable, as if he could be dissected and studied at any moment.

"No wonder... it can attract so much 'food' and then destroy it all."

The Azure Emperor glanced at the surrounding dark blood energy and shattered laws, and said, "That old bastard Kundi did something good before he died, bringing 'resources' like you to us."

His tone was flat, as if he were evaluating an object, but Lu Xuan keenly sensed the cold greed and a hint of... apprehension contained within it.

The Azure Emperor is wary!
They were wary of the path and potential shown by this "insect" who had not yet become an emperor! This undoubtedly proved that Lu Xuan's path was correct and was enough to threaten them!

"The Azure Emperor..."

Lu Xuan forcibly suppressed his surging blood and qi, straightened his spine, and struggled to let the chaotic true color light flow across his body, resisting the omnipresent pressure of the Emperor-level aura.

His voice was a little hoarse, but unusually firm: "It seems that back then, that person didn't hit you hard enough!"

Upon hearing the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor's name, the dark matter surrounding the Azure Emperor visibly fluctuated for a moment, and an even more chilling killing intent spread out.

"Sharp-tongued and witty," the Azure Emperor's voice turned cold.

"The nameless one is gone, and his path will be buried in eternal darkness along with him. But you... your path, your dual Dao fruits, your very essence tempered by bloody battles... will become the best tonic for me to repair my imperial body and make up for my losses!"

Before he finished speaking, the Azure Emperor didn't even make any obvious move; it was just a thought in his mind!
"boom!"

The void surrounding Lu Xuan suddenly collapsed!

Endless dark matter, like living tentacles, burst forth from the void in all directions, each containing an emperor-level law of erosion, devouring, and decay, strangling him! This was not a divine power, but more like words becoming law, a natural reaction of this world under the will of an emperor!
Lu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply as he felt an unprecedented threat of death!
This is incomparable to the attacks of those dark creatures before. This is the true and complete power of a quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even though the Azure Emperor has not fully recovered to his peak, it is by no means something that an Immortal King can withstand!
"Chaotic Battle Domain—Open!!"

"Dual Path Resonance - Ultimate Sublimation!!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Lu Xuan roared! He pushed his will and the power of the two Dao Fruits to an unprecedented extreme! The chaotic true light that had been dimmed due to consumption erupted again, forcibly opening up a miniature domain that was no more than a hundred feet in diameter but extremely solid!

Within this realm, chaos is created and annihilated, battle intent roars and then falls silent, as if enacting the ultimate cycle of the birth and death of the universe and the conquest of civilizations, in order to resist the omnipresent darkness that erodes from the outside world.

"Chichichichi——!"

The dark tentacles slammed into the miniature chaotic battle domain, producing a piercing melting sound. The chaotic battle domain trembled violently, its light flickering erratically as it was compressed and eroded at a visible speed! Lu Xuan's bones cracked, and golden blood tinged with chaotic light spilled from the corner of his mouth, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned to its peak!
He was not only resisting, but also frantically sensing, analyzing, and learning the power composition and law application of this quasi-Immortal Emperor level! Every inch of his domain's collapse and rebirth brought him a deeper understanding of his own Great Dao!

"Hmm?" The Azure Emperor let out a soft exclamation, clearly somewhat surprised that Lu Xuan could briefly withstand his casual attack, but that was all.

"Resisting stubbornly."

He slowly raised his blurry, dark hand and aimed it at Lu Xuan's crumbling chaotic battle domain.

The real killer move is about to be unleashed!

And Lu Xuan, in this absolute predicament, will squeeze out all his potential to face this inevitable and devastating baptism of the Emperor Realm, which may also be his transformation!
The Azure Emperor's blurry, dark hand slowly rose, the movement seemingly slow, yet it seemed to draw the entire destructive laws of the Boundary Sea battlefield to resonate and converge. There was no earth-shattering momentum, only an absolute deathly intent of all things returning to silence and the Great Dao ending, firmly locking onto Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan's pupils contracted to their absolute limit, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze in that instant. The miniature chaotic battle domain he had created, spanning a hundred feet in radius, emitted a mournful cry, like glass about to shatter, the moment the Azure Emperor raised his hand. The chaotic birth and death and the scenes of war and conquest evolving within the domain instantly froze and dimmed, as if it had been thrown into an eternal ice prison.

"It's over." The Azure Emperor's voice was cold and ruthless, announcing the final judgment.

He raised his dark hand and gently pressed it down.
