Buddha Emperor!

Everyone quickly identified that the old monk at the Emperor Stage was a renowned Emperor of Earth Treasury Realm, who had been watching over the Yunhua Region for years, wielding immense authority like the sky itself.

“It really is a battle of the Emperor level!”

A number of people were filled with astonishment. If Buddha Emperor Duping had to take action, then how strong was the opponent?

Amid the incomparably murderous and suffocating atmosphere, Lin Xun soared like a streak of divine rainbow, illuminating the sky and catching the eyes of all.

“A quasi-Emperor? How’s that possible…” someone cried out.

“Since when did quasi-Emperors dare to challenge an Emperor?”

The unexpected scene left countless people dumbstruck and baffled.

“Old thing, I’m going to kill you next!”

Lin Xun let out a mighty roar as his figure glowed brilliantly, charging into the sky.

Those words struck everyone speechless again. They couldn’t believe what they heard.

That’s Buddha Emperor Duping, how would he be shaken by a quasi-Emperor?

However, what followed stunned the onlookers, leaving them dumbfounded and their minds blank with disbelief.

The battle erupted, and Buddha Emperor Duping attacked with full force, yet he failed to immediately slay the young man, whose cultivation was merely at the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage!

This completely shattered everyone’s understanding, as if they had witnessed an unprecedented miracle!

……

Beneath the sky, divine light raged, dao light roared, and the entire area was plunged into turmoil.

Lin Xun and Buddha Emperor Duping repeatedly exchanged blows, their figures blurring as they passed each other. In the blink of an eye, they had clashed hundreds of times, causing the world to quake from the intense force and the sun and moon dim in the sky.

“Die!”

Buddha Emperor Duping wielded the Demon Subduing Pestle and struck a deadly blow with the power of a god.

Black Emperor Dao Laws blazed around his body as it transformed into green lanterns, Buddhist pagodas, scriptures, praying mats, wooden temple blocks, copper bells and other strange, glowing images.

From afar, his majestic appearance and mighty power resembled the legendary Bodhisattva. His presence struck fear into the nine heavens.

Rumble!

Under his deadly strikes, the void was thrown into turmoil like a crashing tide, and dao sounds echoed like rolling thunder, spreading far and wide like an unstoppable domineering force. Ȑáℕ𝐨𝔟ĘŚ

This was the Emperor Stage.

He could destroy heaven and earth with just a sweep of his hand!

Facing such brutal onslaught, Lin Xun displayed no inferiority at all. His body shone splendidly, projecting the vision of a grand abyss while activating the cauldron art. Exuding the power that could crush the nine heavens, he stood unwavering, his eyes filled with the disdain of a demon god.

“Die!” His black hair whipped around him and his eyes flashed as cold as lightning.

Sword Emperor Hunkong who had been suppressed in the Dao Endless Pagoda was already no match for him, which gave him the confidence to go up against and defeat Buddha Emperor Duping who was also at the first level of the Emperor Stage.

The next moment—Buddha Emperor Duping’s expression dramatically changed, his eyes bulging with disbelief.

Ever since he stepped into the Emperor Stage, he attached no importance to those who were not Emperors, and killing them was as simple as getting rid of weeds.

But now, a supreme quasi-Emperor disregarded the heavenly barrier that was the Emperor Stage, challenged him, who was an entire cultivation level greater, and yet was equally matched with him!

In the Ancient Nebula Road, never before in history had anything so unbelievable happened, defying all logic.

What was most unbelievable to Buddha Emperor Duping was that the Quasi-Emperor law power controlled by Lin Xun was close to perfection, rivaling true Emperor law power.

This allowed him to unleash power far beyond the level of the Supreme Quasi-Emperor Stage, making it appear as though he defied the heavens.

How could that young man be so strong? Who the hell is he?

As the battle went on, the more frightened Buddha Emperor Duping became. He had already activated his true Emperor power without holding back, but even so, he gained no upper hand.

This was hard for him to accept.

He was a high and mighty Emperor, but he was evenly matched with a mere quasi-Emperor. If this got out, he would be seen as incompetent and become a laughingstock of the world.

“Die!” He no longer hesitated and brought out his trump card.

His figure suddenly grew extremely towering and majestic.

Holding the Demon Subduing Pestle in one hand and a golden pagoda in the other, he radiated a power so immense that the world trembled in fear, everything crumbled to dust, and a deep ravine split the earth wide open.

“Old thing, you can’t do it.”

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun’s deep black eyes ignited with a strong fighting spirit. Without wavering, he summoned the Dao Lawless Blade.

Shua!

The sharp blade pierced the void and tore through the sky.

A dazzling, thousand-foot long blade qi sliced through the air with deadly intent, completely bypassing the power and arts that Buddha Emperor Duping had summoned.

The next second, Buddha Emperor Duping grunted as a horrifying blade wound split his chest and blood streamed down his body.

“You…you are…”

Lin Xun’s identity was immediately clear to him when he saw the Dao Lawless Blade. It was known to everyone that, after the epic chess game came to an end, Lin Xun, a disciple of Fangchun Mountain, had taken the precious Dao Lawless Blade that belonged to the Imperial Shang Clan.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, Lin Xun was already upon him. His blade qi surged like waves, stacking in layers and spreading across every direction. The force was so devastating that the world dimmed and even the sun and moon shook with fear.

Buddha Emperor Duping repeatedly blocked and dodged the strikes, but he was still overpowered, driven into a helpless and pitiable state and forced to passively take the blows.

Before long, he was left covered in wounds.

This was not because he was incompetent, but instead it showed that the blade was too domineering as it disregarded all rules and laws in the world!

If he hadn’t activated the Demon Subduing Pestle and the golden pagoda, the blade qi likely would have slashed him into thousands of pieces.

“Open!”

Buddha Emperor Duping was dripping with blood and his eyes were bloodshot. With a ferocious roar, he started to fight with everything he had.

His entire body seemed to be burning as he pushed his first-level Emperor Stage power to the limit, plunging the world into utter terror.

However, Lin Xun was not afraid, but instead, he grew every more fearless and determined with each strike. His qi and blood surged as his fighting spirit burned fiercely. He activated his daos and arts to their full power.

This was the second Emperor opponent he had fought head-to-head in his life. He overpowered the opponent with his own power and skills alone, and without the help of Yezi, Wuque or the Broken Blade spirit!

Rumble!

The battle became more and more intense. From afar, the vast sky and the earth had been drowned by the aura of destruction, and the two could no longer be seen.

In fact, in a battle of this level, cultivators below the Emperor Stage would be unable to spectate, but also dare not to observe with their spirit sense, for fear of being impacted by the destructive powers unleashed.

Even so, the onlookers were still filled with shock and astonishment. What did they see? A supreme quasi-Emperor defying heavens by going up against an Emperor!

This sight alone was enough to shock the heavens and cause a disturbance in the world!

Pu!

On the battlefield, Buddha Emperor Duping, who was already in a desperate struggle, was knocked back once again and sustained grave injuries. The Dao Lawless Blade slashed off his right arm, while the terrifying blade qi swept through his body and almost sliced him in half.

At this moment, indescribable fear had replaced the anger, puzzlement and disbelief that once filled Buddha Emperor Duping.

It was already a remarkable feat to be able to cross an entire cultivation stage, overcome the heavenly barrier and fight an Emperor; it could be called a miracle.

However, Lin Xun had not only achieved this. He also utterly suppressed an Emperor in a showdown and wounded him again and again!

Even if this spread out, who would believe it?

All the Emperors in the world would likely be shocked!

“Fellow Daoist, I’ll help you!”

Suddenly, an indifferent voice rang out, and the white-haired old man appeared out of nowhere, his hair fluttering in the air, as the mighty power of the Emperor Stage pulsed around him like a vast ocean.

“Fellow Daoist, be careful. That boy defies heaven and logic. If my guess is correct, he is...” After Buddha Emperor Duping breathed a sigh of relief, he quickly informed the white-haired old man of his speculation.

“I understand.”

He was interrupted before he finished his sentence.

A sword had already appeared in the grip of the white-haired old man. His aura pierced through the nine heavens, fierce and unyielding, filled with a terrifying killing intent.

Buddha Emperor Duping felt anxious.

What do you understand? That guy is Lin Xun, the remnant from Fangchun Mountain who killed Great Emperor Baqi!

However, when he was about to speak again, a change occurred on the battlefield.

Suddenly, five figures emerged around Lin Xun, each one a perfect replica of him. Although the aura and might emanating from them were different, it was as strong as Lin Xun’s!

The five great dao bodies!

This was the first time that Lin Xun summoned them in battle!

The Green Wood Dao Body controlled the Dao Endless Pagoda, the Red Flame Dao Body controlled the Dao Structureless Flag, the Yellow Earth Dao Body controlled the Dao Lifeless Seal, the Black Water Dao Body controlled the Dao Immeasurable Bottle and the White Metal Dao Body controlled the Broken Blade…

Instantly, the might around them resonated with Lin Xun’s own, engulfing the entire world.

The eyes of Buddha Emperor Duping and the white-haired old man almost popped out of their heads and they were chilled to the core.

The young man alone already defied heavens, and now there were five of them!

How could they stand a chance?

“Old man, there’s no enmity between us, but you came here to die. How stupid are you?” A sigh sounded from Lin Xun himself and the five dao bodies.

Then, they launched into action at the same time.

Rumble!

Green light surged around the Green Wood Dao Body as he summoned the Dao Endless Pagoda.

A thousand feet of blazing divine flames enveloped the Red Flame Dao Body as he waved the Dao Structureless Flag.

The Yellow Earth Dao Body grew thousands of feet tall, like a majestic mountain, as it activated the Dao Lifeless Seal.

The Black Water Dao Body…

All of a sudden, the world seemed to erupt, as the nine Emperor weapons of Kunlun and Lin Xun’s great dao bodies worked together, rushing forth like an unstoppable tide.

The sight of that scene would fill anyone with despair.

In an instant, Buddha Emperor Duping and the white-haired old man were engulfed, falling into an perilous battle of life and death.

Then, anguished screams and enraged howls rang out.

“No!”

“Little bastard, do you know who I am?!”

The voices shook the universe, echoing far and wide.

However, the voices soon ceased, leaving only terrifying dao light and divine radiance swirling in the boundless world.

The two Emperors were like duckweed caught in a violent torrent, instantly torn to shreds and reduced to a rain of blood.

Boom!

The world quaked in all directions and across thousands of miles. The air became filled with the aura of destruction, as though the heavens and earth were about to explode.

Onlookers had long fled far away. They could see nothing and feel nothing, yet the fear and terror in their heart only deepened, growing stronger every moment.

The same thought came to everyone’s mind.

The two Emperors…

…have they met their end?

When the smoke and dust dissipated and the violent storm of battle receded across the world—Only a scene of devastation and ruin greeted them.
