Chapter 1616 - 1599: Dark Emperor’s End
Xiao Ye’s figure was tall and straight, with disheveled black hair. Every movement seemed to be in harmony with the Tao of heaven and earth, making the heavens mourn. He was like a Great Emperor traveling, inspecting the mortal world.At this moment, it seemed as if the entire world only had Xiao Ye. Although he wasn’t that tall, he felt majestic, like a towering mountain peak, commanding awe and reverence.
Behind him, the space world evolved from the Emperor Realm seemed to be swept by a storm, completely shattered, devoid of all divine charm. No one knew what had transpired.
Rumble!
A grand Tao emerged from the shattered space world, directly descending upon Wuji City, echoing with the dark road beneath the Dark Emperor’s feet.
Xiao Ye stepped onto it, walking towards the Dark Emperor, his eyes filled with a cold gleam.
Dark Emperor...
He actually broke the agreement, descended on Wuji Sect early, and even attacked his clan members!
Sealed in the space world, his five senses shut for meditation. If not for the Taiyi Palace Master shattering the Jade Scroll to alert him, the Dark Emperor might have succeeded.
At this moment, the entire Wuji City fell into a deathly silence. Whether they were Wuji City martial artists or those from the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, all were silent, their eyes on these two.
Were these two peak strong people about to engage in a life-and-death battle?
"Xiao Ye."
"If I remember correctly, our agreement for a life-and-death duel should still have about three months left."
"Today is not our day for life-and-death combat."
"In three months, I will return to experience your strength."
The Dark Emperor watched Xiao Ye approaching, the seriousness in his gaze deepening, finally speaking solemnly.
With that, the Dark Emperor’s figure flickered, soaring skyward away from Wuji City.
From Xiao Ye’s recent actions, he realized that Xiao Ye might have broken through. Had he known, he would never have come to offend Wuji Sect prematurely.
Knowing that advancing on Wuji Sect was meant to catch Xiao Ye off guard and prevent his breakthrough, he himself ended up delayed, not yet reaching the Perfect Quasi Emperor.
This time, it truly was a case of shooting oneself in the foot.
If not escape now, then when?
Dark Emperor...
Actually left?
Upon witnessing this scene, Wuji City erupted in astonishment. All martial artists wore expressions of disbelief.
Out of the five sealed emperor strong people, the Dark Emperor was the most brutal and domineering.
Xiao Ye, in front of the Dark Emperor, had raised his hand to slay so many martial artists from the Dark Emperor Divine Dynasty, including the only two remaining half-emperors.
Yet the Dark Emperor still chose to swallow his anger, simply leaving?
This was truly inconceivable.
"Dark Emperor, you clearly didn’t honor the agreement, acting prematurely, and now bring up the agreement to me?"
"Your face is certainly thick enough." Xiao Ye looked at the towering back of the Dark Emperor and sneered coldly.
Swoosh!
The next moment, his figure flickered, already blocking the Dark Emperor, "I said today, you will meet your end here."
"Xiao Ye, do you intend to engage in a duel with me now?"
"Your strength is indeed formidable, but you may not be my match yet." The Dark Emperor glared at Xiao Ye, growling lowly.
Xiao Ye heard this and disdainfully raised his hand in a strike.
Boom!
With this strike, no combat techniques were deployed, yet it felt as if he controlled heaven and earth, causing the void to tremble, heaven and earth shattered amidst dreadful wails, and the terrifying aura permeated all directions.
"Damn it!"
The Dark Emperor snorted coldly, the black light around him soaring, forced to confront Xiao Ye.
The two figures fiercely collided.
In that instant—
Unmatched power erupted instantly, unmatched divine light burst forth, piercing through this heaven and earth, shaking the heavens with their terrible sounds echoing throughout.
Under the horrified gazes watching, the two figures in the air briefly separated, with the Dark Emperor’s towering figure being knocked back, much of the black light enveloping him dissipating, causing a stir of exclamations.
Dark Emperor...was actually sent flying?
"The power of heaven and earth!"
"This guy hasn’t broken through to the Quasi Emperor Realm, yet has truly mastered the power of heaven and earth. Does he possess the strength of a Quasi Emperor?"
The Dark Emperor, flung through the air, regained composure in embarrassment, deeply recognizing Xiao Ye’s strength. Although somewhat anticipated, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
A Quasi Emperor’s wrath can suppress a foe from thousands of miles away; it’s a realm between half-emperor and emperor.
This level far surpasses half-emperor because, after becoming a quasi-emperor, leveraging Law Profound Mysteries as a bridge, one connects with heaven and earth, gradually controlling its power, using it to suppress all.
Just as Xiao Ye did earlier, sitting calmly in the void, raising his hand to slay two half-emperors from a distance.
Xiao Ye carried no aura of a Quasi Emperor, yet he already mastered heaven and earth’s power, which was terrifying.
"From today on, there is no more Dark Emperor." Xiao Ye was simply invincible, exuding boundless dominance, stepping forward to pursue the Dark Emperor, and although slightly slower than the Dark Emperor, his speed matched.
"Run!"
The Dark Emperor gritted his teeth tightly, daring not to engage in prolonged battle, turned and fled.
"Dark Emperor, initially I intended to kill you in our duel three months later."
"But since you’re rushing here today to meet your doom, I cannot be blamed!" Xiao Ye had no intention to let the Dark Emperor escape.
This time, though only a month in closed-door cultivation, utilizing the Time Tower and drawing from the martial arts of the Sword Emperor and Barbarian Emperor, he transcended, paired with the Four Great Perfections, bringing the Four Emperor Skills to the half-emperor level.
The transformation during the Slaughter Principle left him with a half-emperor body.
This breakthrough of the Four Emperor Skills further transformed him, granting a sense of control over heaven and earth, equaling a Quasi Emperor in strength.
However, to stabilize his cultivation realm for the impending life-and-death battle, he continued meditating within the space world, unaware that the Dark Emperor would deliver himself.
Splash!
At this moment, the void beside Xiao Ye boiled as if it were boiling water, with four figures emitting divine charm appearing cross-legged, each radiating overwhelming half-emperor power.
Rumble!
Xiao Ye’s inner aura finally erupted uncontrollably, altering the wind and clouds across the heavenly dome, lightning flashing, thunder rumbling, instantly enwrapping a thousand miles around.
This terrifying heavenly power, though only at half-emperor level, could do nothing to the current Xiao Ye.
The Dark Emperor, intercepted by Xiao Ye, was cornered, forced to fight back desperately, but his power was confined, no longer a match for the Xiao Ye equalling a quasi-emperor.
Xiao Ye grew more intense in battle, and in less than ten moves, the Dark Emperor was struck with a palm strike, coughing blood, his body wounded, plummeting like a kite with a broken string.
"Heavenly Emperor, Sword Emperor, Wind Emperor, Barbarian Emperor, I know you’ve arrived too. You might as well come on together because today I, Xiao Ye, will quell the Dark Turmoil."
The Slaughter Principle on Xiao Ye also erupted, his combat power reaching the heavens, terrifying killing intent sweeping all directions.
