Emperor Wude said coldly.
"I don't know whose heart the people truly support, but I'm quite clear that you're going to die here today."
After speaking without thinking, he directly grabbed a long sword and attacked Emperor Wude.
Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie exchanged a glance, nodded, and then followed Wuxin to meet them.
Emperor Wude showed no panic on his face. He looked at the three of them and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
Lei Wujie's sword flashed and approached Emperor Wude. The blade sliced through the air, emitting a low whistling sound, carrying a menacing killing intent.
At the same time, Sikong Qianluo's Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear Technique also attacked from the flank, with a hundred spear shadows spreading out like flying birds, rapidly piercing through every inch of space in the air.
Wuxin, who was far away, remained calm, his palms slightly raised, his Buddhist Six Paths Qi secretly gathering strength, ready to be unleashed.
Faced with the immense pressure of the three working together, Emperor Wude felt a tightness in his chest and unleashed the second level of the Rift Kingdom Sword Technique, "Wind Breaking."
The longsword was swung with a sharp gust of wind, attempting to counter Lei Wujie's swift attack with absolute speed.
The two swords clashed in mid-air, sparks flying. Emperor Wude quickly retreated a few steps, barely managing to deflect Lei Wujie's attack.
Lei Wujie moved with lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye, sword light attacked from all directions once again.
"Breaking wind!"
Emperor Wude gritted his teeth and let out a cold shout, unleashing the second move of the Rifting Nation Sword Technique. With his agile swordsmanship that cut through the wind, he barely managed to deflect Lei Wujie's attack.
Just then, Sikong Qianluo's Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix finally arrived! The spear shadows soared like birds, sometimes disappearing and sometimes reborn, seemingly indistinguishable from reality, and the spear forces from all directions surrounded Emperor Wude.
A cold glint flashed in Emperor Wude's eyes. He swept his longsword, and the force of his attack swept out like a storm, barely blocking several of the attacks. However, several spear shadows still grazed past him, leaving bloody marks on his body.
The unintentional attack finally arrived; his palm strike, imbued with the purity and pressure of Buddhism, swept in like a tsunami.
Emperor Wude felt an irresistible pressure, as if the air around him had become heavy. He forcibly activated the protective true energy of the Rift Kingdom Sword Technique to barely block Wuxin's palm strike, but his steps had already begun to falter.
The three attacked with lightning speed and perfect coordination.
Although Emperor Wude managed to hold off the attack with the help of the second level of the Split Kingdom Sword Technique, "Wind Breaking," he gradually became overwhelmed by the fierce offensive.
Lei Wujie's swordsmanship was fierce, Sikong Qianluo's spear technique was unpredictable, and Wuxin's Buddhist martial arts were even more unfathomable. This made Emperor Wude struggle to cope and gradually put him at a disadvantage.
After countless attacks, Emperor Wude's breathing became rapid, and several wounds appeared on his body, staining his clothes with blood.
"You all forced me to this, you forced me to this."
Emperor Wude shouted at Wuxin, Lei Wujie, and Sikong Qianluo.
An eerie aura surged within him, and Emperor Wude closed his eyes.
In an instant, he suddenly opened his eyes, the light in them becoming deep and terrifying.
That was the long-lost and most evil martial arts technique in the martial arts world—"Heavenly Demon Transformation".
The Heavenly Demon Transformation is a forbidden technique that devours the flesh and blood of infants and transforms it into one's own power.
Those who practice this technique will gain immense power, but they will need the blood of infants to sustain their cultivation.
As the demonic energy gushed out from his body, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
A black aura swirled around him, as if he were possessed by a demon.
His eyes turned as black as ink, and the expression on his face was no longer calm, but rather carried a hint of fanaticism and madness.
"This is... a demonic art!"
Lei Wujie instantly sensed an extremely evil power.
His eyes narrowed, and he gripped his longsword tightly. Wuxin and Sikong Qianluo instantly sensed this change, and none of the three dared to attack rashly.
"This is the Heavenly Demon Transformation. To cultivate this technique, one needs the flesh and blood of an infant as food. It seems the lost child of Tianqi City has found the answer."
Wuxin frowned as he spoke.
The sudden change on the battlefield instantly attracted everyone's attention. Seeing Emperor Wude shrouded in black mist, they instantly understood many things.
"Has he been possessed by a demon?"
Wushuang, wielding the Great Ming Vermilion Bird, stopped his duel with the four servants and instead looked at Emperor Mingde, muttering a question to himself.
"The legitimate emperor you support practices demonic arts, and these demonic arts are taboo in the martial arts world."
"Because cultivating the Heavenly Demon Transformation requires consuming a hundred infants every day, this demonic art is against the natural order. Therefore, a hundred years ago, the sect that created this demonic art was attacked by all people in the martial arts world and was eventually destroyed."
"I never expected that Bei Li, who always called our Tianwaitian a barbarian land, would have their own prince practicing such an evil art."
Hearing the mockery of the servant named Lin, Wushuang's beliefs began to crumble. The royal family she supported was actually such an evil entity.
"Peerless City".
Wushuang shouted loudly towards the battlefield.
Immediately afterwards, all the disciples of Wushuang City stopped their sword strikes.
"Come back to the city with me."
After speaking with her eyes closed, Wushuang seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and then sped off towards Wushuang City.
Although the disciples of Wushuang City did not understand what had happened, they could roughly guess what was going on after seeing the demonic power displayed by Emperor Wude.
With the departure of Wushuang City, many martial arts sects and independent individuals who considered themselves righteous people withdrew from the battlefield.
In a short time, the combat strength of the middle and high-level forces in Beili declined rapidly, and the battle began to take a one-sided turn.
Emperor Wude watched everyone leave silently, then let out a cold snort.
He stopped suppressing his emotions and casually pulled Su Huai, the patriarch of the Dark River Clan, into his right hand.
"Su Huai, I hereby grant you the title of the number one sect in the martial arts world. Now is the time for you to pledge your loyalty to me."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Huai's skull with his right hand and absorbed all of his demonic power into his own body.
After a long while, Su Huai became a dried corpse, while Emperor Wude's aura became even stronger.
"Is this the power of the Divine Journey to the Mystic Realm?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Emperor Wude laughed wildly, as if sealing a demon.
Immediately afterward, he made a gesture with his right hand, and the Sword Pavilion of Tianqi Imperial City collapsed with a roar. A long sword exuding a sharp aura came from Tianqi City and instantly ended up in Emperor Wude's hands.
"Heaven-Slaying Sword, I am the chosen one."
After speaking, Emperor Wude attacked the three of them.
Emperor Wude's swordplay became even more ferocious. With a roar, he swung his longsword out, unleashing the full power of the third level of the Rift Kingdom Sword Technique, "Startling Dragon."
A thunderous roar seemed to erupt in the air as the black sword energy transformed into a giant black dragon and lunged at the three of them.
Lei Wujie was the first to engage in battle. The sword in his hand flashed like lightning, attempting to suppress Emperor Wude with his speed advantage.
However, how powerful was the divine realm? Emperor Wude's sword energy swept in like a torrent, completely suppressing Lei Wujie's sword momentum.
Seeing that he could not resist, Lei Wujie had no choice but to use his lightness skill to retreat quickly, but he was still injured by the sword energy, leaving a deep sword mark on his chest.
Sikong Qianluo unleashed the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix technique once more, his spear shadows resembling a hundred birds taking flight, attempting to disrupt Emperor Wude's offensive with the force of his spear.
However, the sword energy that cleaved the heavens swept across, completely destroying her spear shadows. Sikong Qianluo was forced to retreat, her spear trembling violently, her blood surging.
Seeing this, Wuxin immediately activated the Six Supernatural Powers of Buddhism, unleashing a torrent of palm energy with boundless Buddhist power to suppress the attack.
However, this time, Emperor Wude's strength had been fully unleashed; he was no longer the one who relied on the Split Kingdom Sword Technique for defense.
The power of the Heavenly Demon Transformation allowed him to achieve the Divine Realm of Profound Journey. He wielded his longsword, and the sword energy collided with the palm wind, producing a huge explosion. Wuxin's figure was blasted several feet away, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Wude stood in the center of the arena, surrounded by eerie black energy, looking like a demon crawling out of hell.
His gaze was cold as he lightly brandished his longsword, the surrounding air seemingly under his complete control.
"Is this the power generated from feeding tens of thousands of babies?"
Lei Wujie was panting heavily, his eyes filled with a hint of fear, but even more so with boundless rage.
Sikong Qianluo gripped the spear tightly, her palms already soaked with cold sweat.
Her "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" technique lost its effectiveness against this demonic energy, making it impossible for her to get close.
Wu Xin forcefully stabilized his internal energy, his gaze remaining resolute. Although his Buddhist martial arts were profound, they seemed pale and powerless in the face of absolute power.
A cold smile appeared on Emperor Wude's face; he had completely seized the initiative in this battle.
The black sword energy swept towards the three of them again, each strand carrying earth-shattering power.
Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, and Wuxin tried their best to resist, but were still forced to retreat repeatedly.
The power of the Divine Journey to the Mysterious Realm had surpassed their imagination; it seemed as if the entire Zhenbei City was trembling under this power.
"Retreat!" Wuxin said in a deep voice, and the three of them retreated at the same time, getting out of Emperor Wude's attack range.
But the battle had reached a fever pitch, and at this point, it was not something they could simply retreat and leave as they pleased.
"The Nation-Splitting Sword Technique, Fourth Form: Shattering the Heavens..."
With a loud shout from Emperor Wude.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword, like lightning cleaving through the sky, descended straight down with unparalleled power.
Wherever the sword light passed, the air was torn apart, forming a vacuum rift that stirred up countless air waves.
