Chapter 1781: Heavenly Emperor Protects The Divine Continents

Weng!

The black meteors embodying death and destruction descended towards the ten divine continents along with the inky rain.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang's expression grew solemn. He could almost hear the cries of despair coming from the living creatures below.

"Everyone, the divine continents have only been able to survive until now because of the sacrifices of our predecessors. Our greatest tribulation is upon us, and it is time for us Heavenly Emperors to protect the world to the very end. I hope that after this is over, we'll be able to come together and celebrate," he said.

Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jiang was looking at the exceptional people around him, all exuding majestic auras. Heavenly Emperor Ji, Heavenly Emperor Zhang, Heavenly Emperor Baili, Heavenly Emperor Li, Heavenly Emperor Zhang, Heavenly Emperor Qian, and so on. They were the culmination of tens of thousands of years of effort and the foundation that the divine continents had built.

Many of them were sure to fall before this calamitous war ended. However, there was no room for retreat. They were the strongest experts in the world, people who had received the adoration and worship of all living creatures, with lavish amounts of resources at their beck and call. Now that the world was facing an existential crisis, they would naturally stand up and defend it.

All of the Heavenly Emperors smiled as they clasped their hands towards Heavenly Emperor Jiang. Everyone standing here was an unparalleled genius of their era, regardless of whether it was in terms of talent or will. All of them had shone brilliantly like the most precious gold.

"Heavenly Emperor Jiang, please give the order. Death doesn't sound that bad," some of the Heavenly Emperors quipped jokingly.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang smiled, then he announced with a booming voice, his words echoing through every corner of the divine continents, dispelling the fear of the living creatures, "I will protect the Central Core Divine Continent and face the Sightless Underworld Grand Devil King!

"Heavenly Emperor Zhen Jie, please protect the Mythical Spirit Divine Continent. Heavenly Emperor Yan, please protect the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. Heavenly Emperor Su, please protect the Divine Sun Divine Continent."

The nine Divine Fruit Grand Devil Kings were descending alongside tens of ordinary Grand Devil Kings and hundreds of Other Kings, scattering across the lands. It was clear that the enemy had identified the best method to destroy the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation—destroy its core nodes from the inside.

If the divine continents wanted to deal with them, they would have to split up and guard each location. The Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation had a weakening effect on the Others. If the Heavenly Emperors managed to stall for long enough, it would repair the gap in the Realm Wall and force the Grand Devil Kings back into the Shadow World.

The most important cores of the formation were located in the four inner divine continents, so the four Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors had been dispatched to guard them.

"Heavenly Emperor Wang, protect the Thunderflame Divine Continent. Heavenly Emperor Bai, protect the Azuresea Divine Continent," Heavenly Emperor Jiang continued.

Wang Taixi and Bai Mengmeng both had power comparable to Divine Fruit Heavenly Emperors. With the aid of the Immemorial World Divine Devil Trapping Formation, they could each deal with a Divine Fruit Grand Devil King.

Even so, there were still three Divine Fruit Grand Devil Kings to deal with. They could not be allowed to run rampant, as that would be no different from giving up on three of the divine continents. If that happened, the formation would be affected and countless living creatures would be massacred.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang then turned towards Li Luo, Jiang Qing'e, Li Taixuan, and Tan Tailan. Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e both had four Authorities, and although they had yet to nurture their own Divine Fruits, they were the strongest beneath that realm. Thus, they were definitely qualified to tussle with one of the three remaining Divine Fruit Grand Devil Kings.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan only had three Authorities, but when they worked together, they had ways to amplify their abilities. With the help of the formation, they would likely be able to protect one divine continent together.

"Heavenly Emperor Xuan and Heavenly Emperor Lan, can the two of you protect the Whitespirit Divine Continent?" asked Heavenly Emperor Jiang.

Li Taixuan and Tan Tailan looked at each other before solemnly replying, "We'll do our best."

They understood just how dangerous it was to challenge such an opponent. However, they were the only ones who could accomplish such a task. At this critical moment, all of the Heavenly Emperors bore a heavy responsibility, so they naturally couldn't back down.

"Your Excellency the Radiant Goddess, please protect the Endless Gale Divine Continent!" Heavenly Emperor Jiang continued.

Jiang Qing'e took a deep breath when she heard this. She then waved her hand, summoning the Holy Phoenix Parasol. A dazzling halo of light appeared behind her, bathing everything around her with light Authority. She truly resembled a goddess of light who had descended to the mortal realm.

"Heavenly Emperor Luo, please protect the East Divine Continent," said Heavenly Emperor Jiang.

Li Luo nodded. That was where the Xia Kingdom and House Luolan were located. He would do his very best to protect it.

"Divine Fruit Grand Devil King, huh?"

thought Li Luo, his gaze turning sharp. In the past, he would never have dared to even imagine that he would one day be saddled with the responsibility of holding off a Divine Fruit Grand Devil King. However, this meant that he had truly reached an unprecedented level of power.

With this, the nine Divine Fruit Grand Devil Kings had each been assigned an opponent. The last divine continent would inevitably become a place where the Grand Devil Kings would run rampant. The Shadow World would undoubtedly dispatch the strongest one beneath the Divine Fruit Realm.

Heavenly Emperor Jiang then gave his last command. "Heavenly Emperor Li, Heavenly Emperor Zhen Fu, and Cloud Heavenly Emperor, you will lead the other Heavenly Emperors to the Extreme Night Divine Continent."

Li Jun, Zhen Fu, and Cloud all acknowledged the command. With that, the divine continents' assignments were completed.

"Everyone!" Heavenly Emperor Jiang roared, his voice like thunder, jolting everyone's hearts. "My final wish is for the divine continents to endure for eternity!"

Upon making this declaration, he flew up and shot forward in a beam of colorful light, tunneling through the void with incredible speed towards the Central Core Divine Continent.

The other Heavenly Emperors erupted with their Authorities, causing worldly natural energy to surge. One brilliant ray of light after another darted towards a continent as the living creatures below watched in awe.

"Son, Qing'e," said Li Taixuan with a carefree smile on his face. "Although what I'm about to say will sound like a farewell, I have to say it. You two little brats have come very far, and we are very proud of you. The only thing I regret is that Little Luo has been slacking. We didn't manage to see our grandchild before this war started..."

Li Luo was speechless, while Jiang Qing'e's fair features were tinged with a hint of red.

Tantai Lan smiled as she lightly hugged the two of them, saying, "My two little children, no matter what happens, you must stay strong. The two of you will always be the most important people in our lives."

With that, she wiped a tear from the side of her eye and transformed into a beam of light that shot away. Li Taixuan gave them a profound gaze before he followed suit.

Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e looked in the direction their parents had disappeared to with heavy expressions. No one could stay relaxed during this apocalyptic war. They then looked each other in the eye, feeling the deep love they shared.

"Be careful."

In the end, they gave each other the simplest of well wishes.

Bang!

They then rushed into the air, one heading to the north and the other to the east, unsure if they would ever meet again.

Just as the great battle between the Shadow World and the divine continents was about to start, in the void somewhere in a corner of the divine continents.

Heavenly Emperor Yin was standing with his hands behind his back. The Emptiness Heavenly Emperor, the Gu Heavenly Emperor, the Viper Heavenly Emperor, and the Torch Dragon Heavenly Emperor were standing behind him. Their eyes were focused on the divine continents.

Heavenly Emperor Yin turned, his gaze directed at the depths of the large hall. Light footsteps came from that direction, and the other Heavenly Emperors turned and bowed their heads slightly.

A slender figure strode out of the darkness—it was none other than Li Lingjing. However, she radiated a terrifying aura. Even Heavenly Emperor Yin was pressured by her presence. Her Extinction Authority was already approaching perfection.

Heavenly Emperor Yin then turned back towards the depths, where the black coffin was located. The prodigiously grand seal that enveloped it was starting to dim.

He said, "The divine continents and the Shadow World have already started to fight. It's time for us to do what we need to do."

After which, the void before him distorted and a rift opened up. If one peered into it, they would see a chaotic and ruined world. That location was none other than the Nobles' Battlefield.
