843 Succeeding with One Strike and the Unusual Movements of the Immortal Realm (1/2)

”The Devil Tribe is pretty cautious. They haven't come here to usurp the passageway of the Immortal Realm directly!”

”Humph, they're also afraid of the unusual movements of the World Chakra. As soon as they can find a guy who is able to sense the World Chakra, they'll rush in at once!”

Inside the white palace in the depths of the Forest of Mysteries, the Celestial Mystery Emperor and Emperor Youming were monitoring the Falling Star Reef without blinking. They did not spot any obvious invasion from the Devil Tribe, and they both felt a bit disappointed.

”This Marquis Zhihai is not easy to tackle, either!”

”Not easy to tackle, so what? If they target the passageway, they will bite at the bait. We just need to be patient!” The Celestial Mystery Emperor said slowly. ”Actually it is Zhou Bao we should be paying more attention to. His Supreme Fairy Weapon is much trickier to handle than we expected. It's very powerful. And now, it's absorbed the essential Dharma of two macro worlds. This guy's fate is too strong. And he chose to go against us out in the open. If we don't dampen his overweening attitude, he's going to be big trouble for us!”

”Right. We'll be in deep trouble if we allow him to act wildly. It's just that...the Emperor of the Azure Heaven—”

”When did we start considering his opinion before taking action?” The Celestial Mystery Emperor suddenly looked back, his face dark and unpleasant. ”He does his business, we do ours. We always stay out of his affairs, and he stays out of ours. When he fails to control the situation on his side, he shouldn't expect us to fix his—”

Before he finished the sentence, his expression altered.

”Crap!” Standing next to him, the Emperor Youming shivered abruptly. A sudden ghastly and bloodcurdling air gripped the whole palace.

However, it was too late to react.

The Celestial Mystery Emperor's face was frozen. His cramping muscles, his frightened expression, and his significant look startled Emperor Youming. He had worked with the Celestial Mystery Emperor for thousands of years, but this was the first time he had seen the Celestial Mystery Emperor reveal such an expression. He did not know why but this expression made his hair stand on end.

All these thoughts occurred in a split second. Although it happened all of a sudden, the two Great Ancient Emperors had been through all kinds of crises. They quickly realized what was going on.

”Who is it? How dare you are!” The Celestial Mystery Emperor's frozen face quickly recovered its usual composure. The terror was replaced by overbearing killing intent.

”Hehe, how rich your murderous intent is! What's it feel like to be stabbed in the arsehole? You're truly a Great Ancient Emperor. Even endured the pain of the Poisonous Hitching Post!” Zhou Bao's voice rang out. A fine light emerged quietly, immediately landing between the Celestial Mystery Emperor's eyebrows.

”Holy crap!”

The Celestial Mystery Emperor felt his body stiffen. When he wanted to take action, he was shocked to find that he couldn't move.

A jet of powerful Sword Qi condensed into a dot and zoomed at the spot right between his eyebrows.

Crap!

Emperor Youming knew something bad had occurred. He reacted quickly, but Zhou Bao was faster, and his strike was more atrocious and relentless.

In an instant, the Immortal-killing Sword Qi and the Immortal-slaying Sword Qi cracked the Celestial Mystery Emperor's head open. At the same time, the huge body of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan appeared and advanced on Emperor Youming.

He launched the Mysterious Icy Divine Light, the Eight Nine Mysterious Skill, the Heavenly Jade Technique, and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill simultaneously.

Strong force froze the surrounding gruesome air that had permeated this place.

The icy blue air almost froze the entire palace.

”Nine Turns of Youming, Parade of Ghost Troops!”

Emperor Youming made a strike. Immediately, the space was filled with dreadful wails and howls. Several ghosts emerged and threw themselves at Zhuyan like mad, trying to stop Zhou Bao.

But it was too late!

Zhuyan's colossal body suddenly contracted and disappeared. The red gourd Zhou Bao had launched also vanished. Shape Sword Qi shattered the Celestial Mystery Emperor's body as well as his spirit. It even rendered the macro world the Celestial Mystery Emperor had refined into pieces.

When Emperor Youming reappeared beside the Celestial Mystery Emperor, his body was already lifeless. It turned into specks of light and vanished from sight.

”No way! It's impossible!”

Despite his rich experience on the battlefield and knowledge of eccentric things beyond Zhou Bao's imagination, now, facing such a scenario, he was blinking his eyes in shock, unconvinced of what had just happened. His spirit scanned the place like a radar, attempting to discover a sign of the Celestial Mystery Emperor. If he discovered just a trace of the Celestial Mystery Emperor's Original Spirit, he could manage to revive him.

But the cold hard facts let him down. All of the Celestial Mystery Emperor's spirit had gone. His spirit had truly disappeared before Emperor Youming, disappeared into the chilling Sword Qi.

”Impossible! This is utterly impossible!” Emperor Youming bellowed. He launched his Youming Heaven.

”Swish!”
