Chapter 212: Ninth Stage! A Powerful Opponent, Hard to Suppress! (Part 1)
Chapter 212: Ninth Stage! A Powerful Opponent, Hard to Suppress! (Part 1)
Li Changkong: "!!!"
Fuck!
At this moment, he almost broke down.
This is fucking demoralizing!
It's too much bullying.
Isn't this just bullying the honest ones?
For so many years, you've been deceiving me, making me agree to activate the Blood Sacrifice Array, sacrificing all living beings within the Imperial City to temporarily repair the Ascension Cauldron, allowing yourselves to enter the Ninth Stage.
But I've been considering kin sentiments, thinking of the hardships of all living beings, and I never agreed.
Now I'm forced into a dead end, and when I let you activate the array, you bitches want to sacrifice me too? And sacrifice me along with the Emperor?
When we asked you to stop, you said you couldn't.
When we asked you to think of a way, you said to run!
And you said it's good that they didn't block the door.
Fuck!
What else can I say? What the hell can I say now?
Run?
I've become a stray dog!
Do you bitches think it's safe outside?
At this moment, Li Changkong doesn't know what's happening outside.
But he's certain that it's definitely not better than before he entered.
After all, the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty has already fallen into a disadvantage on the surface, which means those spectators with ulterior motives will definitely have some thoughts at this time.
Fishing in troubled waters... who can't do that?
Especially those who already had grudges with the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, how could they just sit back and do nothing?
It's because I thought of this that I was forced to make a desperate decision to sacrifice everything!
But now you're running faster than me, and you still say it's good?
It's good...
It's good, you bastards, it's good.
I'm fucking pissed!
Li Changkong almost went mad, and in a moment, the broken Ascension Cauldron fell into his hands.
Although he's furious, at this moment, he has no other choice.
He can only grit his teeth and go out.
Otherwise, would he really stay here and be sacrificed?
If he rushes out, there's still a glimmer of hope. After all, these nine bastards, although treacherous and despicable, have formidable strength.
"Hmm, something's wrong!"
"This feeling..."
"Fuck! Sword Eleven?!"
Just as he reached the exit, preparing to rush out with the other Blood Robed Men, he sensed that familiar and terrifying feeling approaching, causing his scalp to tingle, and he quickly retreated.
The other Blood Robed Men didn't make it in time.
They ran faster, but they couldn't rush out of this space.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.
Within this spatial passage, there's not even a place to hide or take cover.
"Damn it! We have no choice but to endure!"
"Ah?!"
The fastest Blood Robed Man among them felt his scalp tingle, roared in anger, and attacked with all his might.
But in his panic to escape, facing Sword Eleven who had already reached him, it was difficult to resist.
He could only barely shatter thousands of flying swords before being forced to retreat.
The other Blood Robed Men wanted to try.
But it was useless.
They were either blasted back or could only barely hold their ground.
However, the blood-colored threads and the terrifying Demon God Blood Sacrifice Formation had already been fully activated, and being blasted back was extremely dangerous, as there was always the risk of death.
"Let's go! If we don't rush out, we'll all die!!!"
"Li Changkong!"
"What happened outside?"
"Why is there such a powerful opponent blocking the door?"
"What did you do? Who did you provoke, to have such a formidable enemy?!"
At this moment, they no longer had a good expression towards Li Changkong.
Damn it!
If this drags on, I'll be done for!
"Hmph."
Li Changkong coldly laughed: "It seems they're even stronger than I guessed, and they've already reached the city, and here?"
"What kind of gaze is this?"
"With this gaze fixed on me, is it my fault alone?"
His cold laughter turned into ridicule: "You've been ridiculing me by my side, saying that those who achieve greatness don't dwell on trivial matters. Today, let's see what you'll do."
"Let you take action, and what did you do?"
"Sacrifice yourselves!!!"
"There are actually people like you with such grand aspirations, willing to sacrifice yourselves to repair the Ascension Cauldron for me?"
"I... should really thank you."
"Li Changkong, you?!"
The Blood Robed Men were furious.
This ambiguous tone is so infuriating.
It's enough to make one furious.
At the same time, they also realized: "Something's wrong!"
"Li Changkong, you bastard, did you do this on purpose?"
"Good! I was wondering why there were so many sudden changes, whether it was the boy's sudden appearance or your array's sudden reversal, from sacrificing others to sacrificing yourselves.
"Or perhaps, at this moment, they're blocking the door because of you and the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty."
"It's you who provoked such a formidable enemy!!!"
"Nonsense!"
Li Changkong coldly laughed: "If not in dire straits, why would I agree to sacrifice everyone, including my kin?"
"It's precisely because my clan is in danger, our fortune has faded, so I want to take a desperate gamble."
"Do you think I'd suddenly change my mind?"
"You?!"
The Blood Robed Men were shocked.
Well!
So that's how it is?
You've really put me in a tough spot.
"Don't argue anymore!"
One of the Blood Robed Men roared: "If we keep arguing, we'll all die here, sacrificed by ourselves!"
"Hurry and find a way to rush out, then there's still a chance."
"Easier said than done, how do we rush out?!"
"The attacker's strength is formidable, and their Sword Dao is terrifying. Can we just rush out?"
"I have an idea, the Ascension Cauldron..."
"You?!"
Li Changkong's expression changed.
"We are all in the same boat, and if you don't retrieve it, we'll all die!"
"But..."
"No buts, Li Changkong. We are merely cooperating, but now, with the grand flow gone, our priority is to survive. As long as we stay alive, there's hope!"
"If you're willing to join forces with us, we can break out together. Even if we die in battle, it'll be a dignified death!"
"But if you're not willing to do it..."
"Then don't blame us for helping you maintain your dignity~"
Li Changkong clenched his teeth, his anger burning within him, uncontrollable.
But at this moment, there was no other choice.
He could only nod in agreement.
"Good!"
"Come over here, I'll use the Ascension Cauldron to take you all out!"
"Come!"
He took out the Ascension Cauldron and enlarged it.
The Blood Robed Men didn't suspect anything and entered it one after another.
"Quick, come in. We'll go together..."
The Blood Robed Men were just thinking about using the Ascension Cauldron to break out, but to their surprise, Li Changkong's expression suddenly changed, and he slammed his hand down, sealing the cauldron.
"Hmm?"
"Li Changkong, what are you doing?!"
"Damn it!"
"Are you crazy?!"
The nine men panicked.
They were not natives of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, just a group of evil cultivators and demons gathered from all over for a common goal.
At this moment, their hearts were pounding with unease, sensing something amiss.
It couldn't be that Li Changkong suddenly had a change of heart, preferring to die himself rather than sending them out to seek survival?
"Are you crazy?"
"I am crazy."
Li Changkong held the Ascension Cauldron, his expression eerie.
"When I realized the Imperial City was breached, you bunch of useless fools, if you hadn't managed to blood sacrifice the masses and ended up blood sacrificing yourselves, I'd have gone crazy by then."
"You said..."
"I'll blood sacrifice you all."
"The effect..."
"How will it be?"
The nine men roared, attacking frantically while shouting, "Li Changkong, don't go crazy!"
"This is the path to death!!!"
"If we fight together, we have a chance against anyone except for Ninth Stage powerhouses. But if you blood sacrifice us, only you will remain, and how can you alone stand against such a powerful opponent?"
"They are capable of breaching the Imperial City!"
"Li Changkong, don't be foolish. Quickly release us!"
"We can swear an oath to Heaven. Once we're out, we'll do everything to help you, to restore order, to fight the enemy..."
"Quickly open the Ascension Cauldron!!!"
The nine men roared, struggling desperately.
They tried to break out of the Ascension Cauldron at all costs.
At this moment, they deeply regretted their actions.
Regrets filled their hearts.
If they had known this would happen, why did they put so much effort into it in the first place? Well, it was too late now!
The Ascension Cauldron he had cultivated was about to become his own grave.
Damn it, if he had been a little lazier or had some other thoughts, he wouldn't have restored the Ascension Cauldron to such an extent, and he wouldn't be in such a passive situation now!
They were all top-tier powerhouses, naturally understanding their predicament.
Give them some time, and they would definitely break free from the Ascension Cauldron! After all, the cauldron was still in a damaged state, and what they needed most now was time!
"Will you let us out?"
"I will."
"But not now."
"Instead, you'll become nourishment, turning into a part of the Ascension Cauldron!"
But Li Changkong had already gone 'mad'.
The essence, spirit, and energy of these peerless talents were indeed capable of nourishing the Ascension Cauldron. These Eighth Stage Peak powerhouses weren't helpless either! Moreover, to have cultivated to such an extent, they were considered 'heavenly proud' themselves!
Blood sacrificing them would certainly prevent the Ascension Cauldron from achieving a perfect restoration.
But at least, it could restore a significant portion.
And it would be a substantial portion.
At that time, if he could break through...
There would still be a chance!
"You... slowly wait to be blood sacrificed by me."
He tossed aside the Ascension Cauldron.
Ignoring the roars and struggles of the crowd, he charged out amidst the countless flying swords!
Sword Eleven was indeed formidable.
But as long as he recalled the Imperial Armament to temporarily block them, breaking out wouldn't be a problem.
......
"..."
"Your Majesty, save us!"
"Your Majesty, save me!"
But...
Just as he rushed out, the horrifying scene around him shook his heart and soul and soul. Goosebumps covered his body from head to toe.
At the same time, the next second, the presences of Lu Ming, the Ferocious One, Long Ao Jiao, and the Chaos Heavenly Boar surrounded him.
"You finally decided to come out?"
Fan Jian Gang grinned.
"..."
"Are... those real clones?!"
"What real clones? Nonsense~!"
Fan Jian Gang smirked. "But where are the other nine?"
"Hiss, could it be that you guys had an internal conflict, biting each other?"
"They're all your 'own people', and you blood sacrificed them?"
"!!!"
Li Changkong's heart pounded.
Had he guessed all this?
Did he have everything under his control?
What about his plan... could it still succeed?
But he had no choice!
Only this!!!
"..."
He scanned with his Divine Perception.
He discovered that there were even more people involved than before!
And the resistance forces within his Imperial City had been slashed by more than half.
It was truly appalling!
His fellow clansmen had perished one after another, and now, not a single one remained.
"You..."
He trembled with rage. "You..."
"How dare you?"
"How dare you?!"
"Why not dare?"
The Ferocious One took a step forward, and above her head, the Great Way Vessel emitted divine light, devouring everything, including the essence spirit energy of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty's royal family members after their deaths!
"Did you ever think of today when your clan committed those countless blood debts?"
"Boom!"
With the enhancement of the Great Way Vessel, the Ferocious One unleashed a punch.
The space in this area was already in ruins, chaotic beyond repair.
As if everything had been turned upside down, chaotic.
But this punch pierced through the chaotic and ruined space, striking Li Changkong's face hard, splattering blood all over, and sending him flying far away.
But she did not stop, quickly chasing after him, determined to completely obliterate him!
Lu Ming and the others exchanged glances but did not step forward. Instead, they sealed off the battlefield and dealt with the other members of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty.
However, by now, the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty had little resistance left.
Only Li Changkong, the emperor, still possessed sufficient strength and controlled an Imperial Armament, making him a formidable opponent.
Roaring, he turned around, wearing the imperial crown, and clashed head-on with the Ferocious One!
Lu Ming and the others still did not intervene.
This was the Ferocious One's hatred.
Unless she was overwhelmed, they were unwilling to interfere, to overstep their bounds.
At the same time.
In that special space, blood energy permeated, and even though the Ascension Cauldron was sealed, wisps of essence blood still leaked from around its lid.
The broken Ascension Cauldron trembled violently!
Within it, it seemed as if countless gods and demons were roaring.
But they could not break it.
The Blood Sacrifice Array had already spread and attached itself to the entire Ascension Cauldron...
In the midst of the battle, Li Changkong suffered repeated injuries!
He was very strong, but in front of the current Ferocious One, he still fell short.
She had not died but had lived a second life.
She had not comprehended more secret arts, but the rich vitality and the insights gained from life-and-death battles made her even more formidable!
The Bronze Immortal Palace trembled, showering endless Immortal Light.
Within the range of the Immortal Light, everything was sealed, preventing Li Changkong from escaping, leaving him to face the battle head-on until the end!
"Die, all of you, die for me!"
"Roar!"
Li Changkong roared.
His strength was truly formidable, enhanced by the imperial crown, and the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty had hidden deep secrets. Various secret arts, though not invincible, were almost so, and now they erupted, clashing with the Ferocious One in a battle that shook the heavens and darkened the sun and moon!
But ultimately, he was no match!
"Three Thousand Worlds!"
The Ferocious One whispered, and the Three Thousand Worlds unfolded. One by one, beautiful Immortal Flowers rooted in the shadows of the Three Thousand Mini Worlds, drawing strength, further enhancing her.
At this moment, she was incomparably sacred, like an ancient empress descending.
Her face mask neither smiled nor cried, a single tear mark particularly noticeable.
It seemed as if sighs echoed from the depths of time.
"Not for immortality, but to wait for you in the mortal world."
Her jade hand gently caressed.
It seemed to overturn everything.
Puff...
Even with the protection of the Imperial Armament crown, Li Changkong could not withstand this blow, being instantly shattered and dissipating into a cloud of blood mist. But then, his figure reappeared.
His face was pale, severely injured.
He was not dead!
Clearly, this was a substitute death technique.
Although it consumed a great deal, it gave him a second life.
"Wait!"
Li Changkong raised his hand, his expression grim. "Between you and me, is there no way to resolve this hatred?"
The Ferocious One remained silent and struck again.
She did not believe that his substitute death technique had no limits, able to save him from death time and time again.
"This old man is not right."
Beside Xiao Ling Er, Fan Jian Gang muttered, "There were nine Eighth Stage powerhouses in that small space just now, and none of them have come out. We need to be careful."
Xiao Ling Er nodded slightly.
She was somewhat fatigued but was still capable of fighting.
The reason for the prolonged battle earlier was to test her own strength.
If Yao Mu had participated from the beginning, Bu Qinglin would not have been able to hold out.
"Friend Lu Ming."
She lightly bowed to Lu Ming. "Please be more cautious."
"Hmph!"
Beside Lu Ming, Long Ao Jiao crossed her arms, her ample chest looking even more magnificent. She huffed, "What are you worried about with me here?"
"God Slayer, Buddha Slayer!"
Fan Jian Gang chuckled. "Why don't you go kill one of those guys around Xiao Longnu and see?"
Long Ao Jiao: "…!"
"Shut up!"
"Ah, yes, yes."
Damn!
Song Ru stood on a flying boat, shouldering a great sword. His gaze wandered over the group, finding something strange.
"They look... so strange."
"Based on my experience from before I came here, Xiao Ling Er seems to have some feelings for Lu Ming, but Lu Ming shows no emotional changes."
"At the same time, Long Ao Jiao seems to care about Lu Ming's feelings, wanting to get closer to him?"
"But she is also very confident, or rather, arrogant, thinking 'if not me, who else?' and considers it a slight if Lu Ming doesn't pay attention to her?"
"As for Fan Jian Gang..."
"He seems to be very interested in Long Ao Jiao."
"Interested... no, that's not right."
"So chaotic!"
He rubbed his temples, thinking, "However, no matter how chaotic, at least it's clear that none of them have established a relationship."
"No relationship means I still have a chance."
Thinking of this, he smiled.
"Miss Long."
"After this battle, if there's an opportunity, why don't we spar, and then find a scenic spot to drink fine wine, talk intimately, and not part until we are drunk?
