Even without cheats, we must survive the apocalypse

The Emperor knew that he could not fall, but he had already reached the peak of the Sainthood. How difficult would it be to make another breakthrough?

There are only four Half-Step Ancients in the world, two from the human race and two from the demon race. Although old Emperor Chu Yun wants to be the third strongest person in the world, there is a gap between people.

But the old emperor had no choice.

Either he dies of old age, or he makes another breakthrough and God will extend his life.

Luo Yingyun built a Sky-Watching Tower for him and placed formations below the Wanyun Plain. When the formations were activated, all the power of the imperial dynasty would gather at the top of the Sky-Watching Tower, injecting unprecedented power into the old emperor and helping him break through.

Then he failed.

Moreover, he failed more than once, which consumed the old emperor's remaining lifespan, and it took a particularly long time to replenish the country's fortune.

And then, he died.

There is nothing much to say, when a person dies it is just like a light goes out.

Chapter 43: Top of the Observation Tower

Luo Yingyun sensed the ups and downs in the nation's destiny, so after the old emperor died, he came here again.

The power of national destiny is actually somewhat effective.

The power of national destiny also has a higher affinity for those who can sit on the throne of the Emperor. Ziye can mobilize the power of national destiny to bless himself, but if compared with the old emperor, he seems too unfamiliar.

Therefore, only the old emperor could cause such a change in the destiny of the country.

Under the Guantian Tower.

The foreign national teacher stood in front of the tower and felt the three auras on the top of the tower. His face did not look good.

One of the auras belonged to the old emperor, whom Luo Yingyun was very familiar with, but the other two... were from the elders of the Xiexin Sect.

Those two made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at them. They were as cunning and vicious as bugs in the gutter.

This time, the Xiexin Sect has sent three elders who are considered to be among the top in terms of strength.

In addition to the "Eclipse Sun Demon Girl" who has achieved a small success in the Fate Wheel Realm, there is also a pair of "Bloodthirsty Souls" who have achieved a small success in the Hanging Sea Realm.

Although these three people are full of sins, in terms of threat, the "Eclipse Witch" is still the biggest. She is proficient in the art of charm and illusion. Even if she fails to bewitch someone, this illusion is enough to make people's minds collapse. Unless one encounters an opponent who is naturally able to restrain her, it will be difficult to eliminate this threat.

But the other two...

In the Central Region where chaos reigned, the "bloodthirsty twin souls" collected the evil thoughts of millions of wronged souls from the battlefields of every dynasty. They used secret methods to condense these wronged souls and evil thoughts into their own bodies, turning themselves into some kind of corpse-like existence.

Although I don’t know how powerful I can become by doing this, this method alone is disgusting enough.

The benefits of eating the dead.

Luo Yingyun really wanted to kill those two guys.

Maybe now is the time.

He took a deep breath and rose up, his eyes flashing with an eagle-like cold light. Following that, a fierce eagle Dharma image over a thousand feet tall stood among the clouds.

"Haha, as expected of the Izumo Imperial Master known as the 'Eagle King', the ferocity and cruelty of this demon tribe are indeed extraordinary."

"It's just that I'm not too scared."

A chuckle filled with sarcasm and mockery rang in Luo Yingyun's ears, and along with the laughter, there fell thousands of soul blades that flashed with dim light.

"clang--"

The Fiery Eagle opened its beak and uttered sound. The floating clouds shattered and the sound waves rolled in like an overwhelming tide. In the instant of contact, thousands of soul blades containing evil thoughts were completely shattered.

"The tricks of an evil cultivator."

Luo Yingyun stood in mid-air, staring coldly at the top of the observation tower.

Old Emperor Izumo was sitting cross-legged on the "Guantian Seat" on the top of the tower... The only purpose of building the Guantian Tower was to enable old Emperor Izumo to have a deeper control and understanding of the power of national destiny. This Guantian Tower was connected to the entire complex formation underground in the Wanyun Plain, which was equivalent to the eye of the formation.

Sitting here, he can gather the power of the country's destiny in one person. Those strong people who are blessed by the country's destiny and loyal to the empire will now be at the mercy of the emperor in terms of life and death.

But the old emperor’s cultivation is strong enough, and he doesn’t care about life and death.

He just wanted to use the power of national destiny to connect himself with "heaven".

However, in the end, the old emperor did not succeed.

"His Majesty."

Luo Yingyun looked at the old emperor and bowed slowly.

He has been loyal to the Izumo Dynasty for a thousand years and has done this more than once.

And this was the only time that the old emperor did not respond to him.

He closed his eyes and remained silent, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. An extremely rich layer of national destiny power surrounded his body, and circles of ripples spread out. These ripples were evolved from the national destiny power of the empire.

The power of national destiny flowed like water, slowly infusing into the old emperor's body.

It won’t be long before strange phenomena in heaven and earth appear.

Luo Yingyun could feel that the old emperor was about to gather the power of the country's destiny on him!

But this is by no means about breakthroughs.

But there is another purpose...the purpose of the evil cultivator!

At this moment, the foreign national teacher has already understood that the old Emperor Izumo in front of him is not the old emperor he once knew.

Maybe it would be better for him to continue to be a dead man?

"What's wrong, Master Imperial Master?"

"We were having a good talk, and your emperor is alive again. Why do you look like you're turning your back on us now?"

Two figures stood in front of the Emperor.

"Two bloodthirsty souls", the birth of soul and the death of soul.

The two elders of the Evil Heart Sect stood openly in front of Luo Yingyun, whose cultivation level was a whole realm higher than theirs, with sly smiles on their faces.

They had no fear.

He just treated Luo Yingyun as a meaningless joke.

"What do you want to do?"

Luo Yingyun had a blank expression on his face, but murderous intent was already lingering around him.

"Why should I tell you?"

Hunsheng raised his hand, and thousands of soul blades appeared in the sky again. Hunmie said nothing, but his aura was overwhelming and his demonic shadow was ominous.

"Then die."

Luo Yingyun's body trembled, and fine blood vessel texture emerged under his skin. Faintly, a muffled "bang" sound could be heard, as if something exploded.

Boom——

A vast and unpredictable aura descended.

That was the breath of the demon race, rolling down like rivers and lakes.

Luo Yingyun's figure suddenly grew larger.

Between the floating clouds, there appeared a huge black eagle with a length of eight feet. It had thick scales, a ferocious head, bone spurs on its back, and tail feathers as cold as ice. Its body was covered with dark red lines, and its scarlet vertical pupils had regarded the "bloodthirsty twin souls" as dead.

The Sky-Swallowing Fiery Eagle has a bloodline similar to that of Gu Yue Yulong and its brutality is almost comparable to that of the Fei Tian Bi'an clan.

In the Southern Region, the Sky-Swallowing Fiery Eagle Clan is considered to have a prominent status.

Although they live on the edge of the Southern Region, that is because they are close to the Dragon Clan Sea Boundary and have a close relationship with the Gu Yue Yulong Clan. Moreover, they have a long heritage, and their bloodline and strength are second only to the bloodline of the "Three Emperors".

"Wow~"

Luo Yingyun raised his head and roared, his mouth emitting a thunderous sound, the sound was like thunder, shaking the sky.

A violent wind swept across the sky and earth.

All the floating clouds within a hundred feet disappeared.

The world suddenly dimmed, and under the vast sky, only Luo Yingyun's overlord-like demon body remained.

"..."

The old emperor opened his eyes silently.

However, there was no emotion in his eyes. He looked like a living "puppet" without any independent soul.

He stretched out his hand, and dark ripples visible to the naked eye overflowed from his body and merged into the Guantian Tower.

On his chest, a dark black and red spot began to emit shocking evil thoughts.

"If you want to get in the way, you should consider your own worth first."

Hunsheng and Hunmie looked at each other, and thousands of evil souls surged out, instantly merging them into them. The demonic shadows were heavy, polluting the night sky and making it dark and terrifying. In a trance, there were even sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

What finally appeared was the deformed form of the "bloodthirsty twin souls".

A half-blood demon that is almost the same size as Luo Yingyun.

Chapter 44: Ruyin's assassination

To outsiders, the "methods" of the Evil Heart Sect are indeed very strange.

For example, two guys whose cultivation was stuck at the minor success stage of Xuanhai Realm and who would never make any progress in their lifetime, were able to cultivate some kind of "conjoined body method" that forced them to work together to form a Dharma image, thereby fighting against the Dharma image realm.

Although the birth and death of the soul has made his physical body neither human nor ghost, but on the road to pursuing power, the physical body seems to be something that can be easily given up.

The head of the blood corpse was twisted and deformed, as if it was made up of countless ugly monster faces put together, or like countless resentful souls struggling and wailing.

Under this Dharma image, Luo Yingyun's unparalleled domineering pressure seemed to have met an opponent and was largely dissipated.

There was a subtle ripple in Luo Yingyun's eyes.

But that doesn't change anything.

He still has to take action.

"Wow!"

The sound was so loud that it shocked the sky and stopped the clouds. The sharp claws of the Fiery Eagle Dharma Image tore through the void and grabbed towards the Blood Corpse Dharma Image.

The Blood Corpse Dharma Image raised its arms, and suddenly waves of blood swung out. Every wisp of blood mist carried an unspeakable corrosive and poisonous power, causing the night sky to evaporate violently.

The blood light and the eagle light intertwined, neither giving in to the other, and collided in the sky, creating dazzling waves.

The battle in the Dharma Realm left clear visible traces within a radius of hundreds of miles.

There was a lot of movement.

Soon, powerful beings inside and outside the Izumo Dynasty all sensed it.

Then came the questions.

Why did the demon clan's national master start a fight with the bastards from the Evil Heart Sect?

Also, how could the guys from the Evil Heart Sect appear so close to the imperial capital? Today, they first received an urgent tip from their informant, saying that the old man, Izumo Emperor, showed up, and he was very energetic and his voice was very loud.

Given his temper, how could he allow the high-ranking elders of the Evil Heart Sect to come to the heart of the empire?

But despite the doubts, they are still paying attention to this battle.

Whether winning or losing, maybe it’s all about opportunity.

……

When the imperial guards outside Wanyun City set out in large numbers, Zihuang and Ziye also rushed towards Wanyun Mountain without stopping.

Lu Mu took the three girls with him.

"It seems that the affairs of the Izumo Dynasty cannot be concealed."

Gu Yunxi sighed.

After she learned from Lu Mu how much blood and lives the Izumo royal family had paid in order to maintain the illusion that "the emperor is still alive", the drama of "letting the wolf into the house" seemed very ironic.

So many members of the royal family have died, and now not only can the illusion not be maintained and the secrets have been exposed, but even the fate of the empire is being targeted.
