Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Although few in number, they exuded unfathomable auras, forming an eight-to-one pattern that blocked the Sunset Demon Emperor's retreat.

Not far away, it was too late. The infected Heavenly Heart Dao Lord was extremely terrifying. With an overwhelming offensive, he instantly turned the entire giant city into a hellish inferno, where all kinds of infected creatures were being born in an endless stream.

Even the city lord, who had fought to the death, was corrupted into a dark creature in a single encounter.

The instigator, the Sunset Demon Emperor, sensed the almost tangible ocean of killing intent filling the heavens and earth. He calmly surveyed his surroundings, looking at the powerful remnants of the fallen lineage glaring at him with fury, and couldn't help but smile mockingly:

"how?"

"You all look at me like you want to grind me to dust?"

Chapter 576: The Ultimate Showdown - The Battle Before the Beginning of the Mythical War.

The Sunset Demon Emperor looked down upon all the heroes. It was the strongest of the demon race in the world. Its main body was the Nine Palaces and Nine Stars, and its clones were the Nine Palaces and Eight Stars. It was blessed by two Myriad Calamity Spirit Treasures and had surpassed all living beings. It did not take these prehistoric descendants seriously at all.

As its gaze swept across the iron-colored sky, the first thing that caught its eye was the leader of the Primordial Sun Phoenix Clan, who was also a ruler of the Nine Palaces. His body was as tall as a mountain, reaching tens of thousands of feet, and his wings covered an unknown distance. His deep, ancient demonic eyes resembled the sun and moon that hung eternally in the starry sky, and his majestic aura soared straight to the heavens. His body was surrounded by white to gray Primordial Heavenly Fire.

The dozen or so Primordial Sun Refining Phoenixes that arrived alongside it were by no means weak; they were all at the sixth or seventh palace level, and quite a few were at the eighth palace level.

Of the Fighting Saint Ape lineage, only a few transformed elders arrived. They were extremely thin, their blood energy like a candle flame that had burned out, their eyes sharp as knives, staring intently at the Sunset Demon Emperor, feeling apprehensive about him.

These three fighting saint apes, one with the cultivation of the ninth palace and two with the peak of the eighth palace, still found it troublesome. They no longer had the fighting power of their prime and were not confident in defeating the Sunset Demon Emperor who was in his prime.

In addition, the Three Fiends Crows, the Twelve-Tailed Purple Flame Fox, the Ancient Tree of Immortality, and the Devouring Void Insects each have a Nine Palaces-level ruler leading them, who are the oldest immortals in their respective races, totaling six.

The strength of the human race should not be underestimated. Unlike the declining True Cultivation Pavilion, the two major forces, the Undying Ruins and the Human King Clan, have been biding their time for a long period of time. They have not only restored their sects to their most prosperous period, but also produced many outstanding talents. The strong people who now lead the two remnants are actually two Supreme Dao Lords!

The master of the Undying Ruins is a woman with flowing blood-red hair and an indifferent expression, whose cultivation level is in the late stage of the Heavenly Heart Realm.

Beside her were two elderly men on the verge of death, exuding a strong aura of death. They were obviously ancient relics who had been hastily revived. Their auras were disordered and their blood energy was depleted, but they were still hanging on the edge of the Heavenly Heart Realm. They should be the previous two masters of the Undying Ruins.

As for the Human King Clan, it was even more exaggerated. Three Supreme Dao Lords personally came, showing their full strength. One was at the late stage of cultivation, and two were at the middle stage. The three of them came. Clan members below the Heavenly Heart Realm were not allowed to go to the battlefield, because it was meaningless and would only increase the sacrifices.

The Sunset Demon Emperor surveyed the eight great lineages' menacing gazes with a single glance, yet maintained a light, smiling demeanor.

Meanwhile, the Mountain and River Poison Banner in its hand fell into a frenzied state, its power erupting uncontrollably like a flood. Furthermore, an ancient divine thought entered the Sunset Demon Emperor's mind, urging it to exterminate these remaining evils.

Without a doubt, it was the anger and resentment that had been building up for countless years since the disease was imprisoned.

"The Emperor of the Sunset Court?... "

"What are you doing, colluding with disaster and wasting the sacrifices of our ancestors!"

The Nine Palaces Ruler of the Three Fiends Crows coldly reprimanded, his voice shaking heaven and earth. He carried some kind of unrecorded divine power and instantly attacked the soul of the Sunset Demon Emperor, attempting to severely injure it, but he could not stir up any waves.

The tall, imposing figure remained unmoved, responding with a half-smile:

"Senior?"

"What ancestors do you have? You are not of the same race as us, and your hands are stained with the blood of countless lives. Having cultivated to our level, how could you not understand the law of the jungle?"

“In the past, my ancestors also eked out a living under your rule, suffering exploitation and humiliation. Now, my clan has established a royal court, recovered lost territory, and protected countless demons. You parasites hiding in rotten corners, do you even have the right to speak ill of me?”

"Enough, junior! It's not too late to stop now! As long as you hand over those two evil artifacts, we will reseal them, and you will still be the emperor of the Sunset Royal Court. Otherwise, don't blame us for killing you on the spot."

The Nine Palaces Ruler of the Twelve-Tailed Purple Flame Fox threatened with murderous intent. In its view, the six Nine Palaces Rulers, plus the six Supreme Dao Lords of the human race, were enough to suppress this fiend.

However, it was met with an even more contemptuous laugh. The Sunset Demon Emperor slowly stepped forward, signifying his decision, and addressed the powerful figures of the eight great lineages of humans and demons:

"There's no need for unnecessary tricks. Keeping you around will only threaten my royal court's unification of the world. So, I'll just kill you all here today."

"Boom!!"

In an instant, the Sunset Demon Emperor unleashed his full power, his Nine Palaces and Eight Stars overwhelming the heavens, causing the expressions of the powerful members of the remnant lineage to change slightly.

At that moment, the void roared, and a massive Yin-Yang Taiji diagram suddenly appeared and opened. The Grand Preceptor, the Martial Emperor, the Four Sovereigns, and many divine generals of the Daye Dynasty all arrived.

Gazing at this magnificent scene, the Sunset Demon Emperor faced off against eight mysterious forces alone. Even the Imperial Preceptor, who had already reached the Martial God Realm, felt extremely troubled, and a strong sense of crisis lingered in his heart.

With a "hiss!" sound, the void was cleaved open like a piece of jade by a terrifying sword light. Ye You, the sect master of the Sword Sect, personally arrived at the battlefield, wielding the Void Shadow Sword.

He was dressed in a purple Taoist robe, looking radiant. He was completely different from when he last appeared at the Void Sword Sect. He was much younger now, and had almost reached the point where he seemed untouched by the passage of time.

This is the true body, a sword cultivator at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Heart realm, while the previous peak Jade Realm was undoubtedly an external body.

"It's quite a lively scene, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor. It seems you have quite a few people looking for trouble."

As they chatted and laughed, Ye You's gaze swept over the eight great lineages, lost in thought.

He had long known that there were still some ancient races and powerful cultivators in the world who had gone into hiding, but he did not expect them to emerge one after another today. It seems that they have an inseparable connection with the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"Gentlemen, the situation is like this..."

In the face of this emergency, an ancient tree that had lived for countless years instantly transmitted divine thoughts, informing the powerful figures of the Great Ye Dynasty and the Void Sword Sect of the reason for its birth and the threat posed by the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"........"

Upon learning the whole story, both Grand Preceptor Da Ye and Ye Youwu had solemn expressions. Without the slightest hesitation, they made a decision: no matter what, they must kill the Demon Emperor here.

"Everything's here."

The Sunset Demon Emperor gazed at the densely packed crowd, a pleased smile spreading across his face, and said:

"That's for the best."

"Boom!!"

A golden spatial rift suddenly appeared behind it, and an even more imposing figure emerged—the true form of the Sunset Demon Emperor. In its left hand, it held a bright blue flower bud about to bloom.

".......What?!"

Some were shocked and couldn't believe that the Other Shore Chaos Flower, which they had cultivated by sacrificing to more than a dozen ancient life stars, had been silently taken away by the Sunset Demon Emperor.

"What on earth is going on...?"

The two vice sect leaders of the Void Sword Sect also narrowed their eyes sharply, instinctively concluding that there was a traitor within the Great Ye Dynasty!

"Another clone? No, that's not right, that's the real body, and it even brought the Spider Lily..."

In an instant, the rulers and Dao Lords of the eight great lineages felt a chill run down their spines. The Sunset Demon Emperor was even more terrifying than they had imagined!

"Boom!"

In that instant when everyone was speechless, the Sunset Demon King did something that no one could believe. A terrifying blood storm appeared in its right palm, instantly destroying the spider lily that had not yet bloomed and fallen to the ground.

"Gentlemen, those who wish to hunt me, come at me all at once!"

"I will stay with you until the end."

The Sunset Demon Emperor's true form, along with his clones, faced all the formidable enemies who came, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Boom!!"

Thick, scarlet demon blood flowed from its body like molten lava, instantly condensing into a battle halberd, which it held in its hand and raised high into the sky.

"......"

Centuries of planning had fallen apart in an instant. The Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure. With his unparalleled martial arts perception, he instantly identified the traitor and simply gave an order to the Martial Emperor.

"This battlefield is not one you can approach. Retreat 50,000 li, capture Blood Moon, and punish him for treason."

"Yes, please rest assured, Grand Preceptor..."

Emperor Wu clenched his fists, his thoughts a jumble of complex emotions. The Imperial Preceptor was, after all, his teacher. Even though they had a long-standing feud, seeing the old man he had respected for half his life caught up in a war with a slim chance of survival filled the emperor with great concern.

"Let's borrow this fortune of the human world for a while."

As the Grand Preceptor of the Great Ye Dynasty uttered his thoughts, a sudden storm arose within the distant Great Ye Dynasty. Countless unseen and intangible energies were detached from the bodies of hundreds of millions of people and converged on the hole in the dome.

Even the civil and military officials, the many divine generals, the four kings, and even the emperor, who were sharing in the dynasty's fortune, were all taken back by an invisible hand in this instant and all of it was bestowed upon the Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying martial arts pressure erupted from the old man instantly. His cultivation shattered three major barriers, briefly reaching the late stage of Martial God. He exuded an unparalleled aura, his blood energy surging and boundless. The combat power he displayed was in no way weaker than that of a Dao Lord in the late stage of Heavenly Heart, and was even stronger.

When the imperial dynasty's fortunes are unified, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause in this state is equivalent to the personification of the vast imperial dynasty.

With just a glance from the old man, the Blood Moon King, who had colluded with the Sunset Court, coughed up blood, his internal organs shattered, and he nearly died. However, it was only an avatar; his true body had long since disappeared.

"call out!"

"call out!"

On the eve of the war, the Nine Palaces Sovereigns and Eight Palace Sovereigns of the eight great lineages urged their clansmen and disciples to leave, as the situation had already spiraled out of their control.

These ancient beings originally intended to bring their clansmen here for some training, but they never expected that the Sunset Demon Emperor would be so powerful. In order to minimize the losses, they ordered their clansmen to leave. The same was true for the Daye Imperial Dynasty and the Void Sword Sect, with many people withdrawing from the battlefield.

In the end, all that remained within a radius of ten thousand miles was the Sunset Demon Emperor, along with the six Nine Palaces Sovereigns, eight Eight Palaces Peak Sovereigns, seven Supreme Dao Lords, and one Martial God who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of it.

"This world is small. If we fight each other without restraint, I'm afraid our homeland will be destroyed and we'll have to fight in the outer heavens."

The Nine Palaces Ruler of the Fighting Saint Ape suggested that it, its body gleaming gold, clad in a majestic battle armor, and carrying a black, blood-stained bronze staff on its shoulder, which was also of the quality of an innate magic weapon.

"it is good."

The afterimage of the Sunset Demon Emperor vanished, instantly appearing in the vast starry sky, millions of miles from the boundless earth.

"Boom!"

The moment it appeared, it was met with a storm of attacks. The supreme beings that arrived one after another unleashed their full power, using all kinds of their most powerful killing moves.

A terrifying fist strike that spanned the ages arrived, and the Grand Master of the Great Cause and his true form engaged in close combat, exchanging hundreds of blows without the Grand Master gaining the upper hand.

"Warrior, what spirit! Come on!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor suddenly gathered his strength and met the attack with a punch, unleashing his peak power. The Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause withstood the attack head-on, his figure retreating tens of thousands of miles, smashing through one desolate star after another.

Not far away, the clone wielding the Mountain and River Ten Thousand Poison Banner and possessing the Eye of the Emperor of Delusion above his head was easily defeated by the rulers and Dao Lords of the eight great lineages.

That eye, suspended high in the universe, released a radiance that could dismantle all spells and supernatural powers. At the same time, it strengthened the Sunset Demon Emperor's avatar, making it invincible and immune to all spells.

"Pfft!"

"Boom!"

An epic battle erupted, a contest of magic and physical strength, resulting in a bloodbath that shattered surrounding stars and celestial bodies.

The eight great lineages ultimately possessed a strong foundation, a numerical advantage, and even stronger bloodline abilities, forcing the Sunset Demon Emperor's clones to be overwhelmed and fall into dire straits several times.

Unlike these ancient races that once dominated an era, the race of the Sunset Demon Emperor has never truly reigned over the land, so their innate bloodline is slightly weaker, and their supernatural powers are also somewhat inferior.

Nevertheless, it roared through the starry sky, displaying the majesty of the strongest demon emperor in the history of the royal court, and withstood a swarm of more than 100 beings of the same level without dying.

Even the spirit mark within the Mountain and River Poison Banner couldn't help but highly recognize it, granting it more authority and releasing stronger supernatural powers.

On another battlefield, the situation was equally dire. The Sunset Demon Emperor's true form was covered in blood and hideous wounds, all inflicted by the Void Shadow Sword. Ye You and the Grand Preceptor of the Great Cause were also injured and panting heavily.

"Boom!"

The Sunset Demon Emperor gave them no chance to breathe, and fought with the two again, tearing through one starry sky after another. Every strike was a peak attack. They clashed for tens of thousands of rounds, sparing no expense to kill the two.

The injuries of Grand Preceptor Da Ye and Ye You were getting worse and worse. Even with the support of quasi-innate magic weapons and innate magic weapons, they could not kill the Sunset Demon Emperor in his berserk state.

The opponents traded blows, enduring countless killing blows with their extremely monstrous physical bodies, yet they remained standing. On the contrary, their physical bodies began to show signs of disintegration after tens of thousands of rounds of fighting.

"Roar!!"

In the distant starry sky, the roar of a colossal beast resounded. It was none other than the Twelve Purple Flame Foxes, the rulers of the Nine Palaces, who were the first to succumb to the attacks of the Sunset Demon Emperor's avatar. Lacking any innate magical artifacts, they were tainted by the plague and fell into corruption. Despite their desperate struggles, they could not change their fate of death.

"Boom!"

The Primordial Phoenix, from the same faction, immediately made a decision, unleashing a sea of ​​heavenly fire to incinerate and kill it first.

"Come!"

"You remnants! Fight me to the death, until the last drop of blood is shed."

The avatar of the Sunset Demon Emperor roared with laughter. It fought bloody battles, growing fiercer with each fight, and its combat power even surpassed that of its main body at one point. Wielding two great spiritual treasures, it was truly invincible, causing the Eight Clans Alliance to suffer repeated defeats.

"Om!!"

Inspired by it, the Mountain and River Poison Banner resonated deeply, its power suddenly soaring, startling many Nine Palaces Rulers and Supreme Dao Lords.

"It seems I can't keep you here."

"kill--!"

The Fighting Saint Ape's eyes flashed with ferocity. With a single blow, it swept across the heavens, forcefully piercing through the oppressive poisonous fog that blotted out the sun. Reaching the depths, it delivered a heavy blow to the Demon Emperor's clone. Seventy-two phantoms attacked from all directions, each leaping and striking down with its staff. Each trajectory was accompanied by tens of thousands of overlapping staff shadows, all converging at the endpoint.

With a loud "Boom!!", as if a corner of the universe had been blasted open, the innate magic weapon inherited from the Fighting Saint Ape lineage struck the Sunset Demon Emperor's chest with a single blow, and half of his body exploded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"You want to kill me? You can't!"

The clone, backed by eight ancient life stars, grinned maliciously. Its injuries healed instantly, and a Sunset Overwhelming Palm struck down, causing the elderly Holy Ape to bleed from the corner of its mouth and cracks to appear on its armor.
