Chapter 245: The Death of Emperor Abyss

The Emperors were indeed plagued by internal conflicts, but at critical junctures, they remained united. Only through unity could the Emperors of Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom wield sufficient deterrent power, suppress all rogue cultivators, and seize the best resources! This was also the command of Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's Ancestor.

"Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array!" Emperor Fu activated the formation treasure, and an ancient array radiating primordial energy appeared, divided into eight layers. These layers were intricately stacked, with Emperor Fu and Emperor Ming at the core, supported by the other six Emperors.

"Activate the array!"

The might of this ancient array immediately ascended to the power limit of Origin Continent, and with their coordinated effort, its profundity became immeasurable.

In terms of individual strength, Emperor Ming, with his formidable mental fortitude, had developed his primordial bloodline to an extremely high degree, further amplified by powerful secret treasures! When Emperor Ming exerted his full power, his might could reach the limit of Origin Continent.

With eight of them working together, their combined power was beyond doubt.

"Although Emperor Yuan has caused many troubles, he cannot die at the hands of a rogue cultivator." None of the Emperors would permit such a thing to happen.

"We must stop Luo He." Emperor Fu also did not want relations between Luo Feng and Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom to sour. "Killing an Emperor would be a huge disaster! If the Ancestor becomes enraged, I'm afraid I won't be able to ally with Luo He anymore."

The Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array instantly traversed a vast distance, arriving within the area enveloped by the Endless River of Blood.

"Boom!"

The moment the grand array descended, carrying an extremely terrifying might, it sought to crush the River of Blood and rescue Emperor Yuan.

"They're here." Emperor Yuan, whose body was being permeated and destroyed by the endless crimson river, looked up excitedly! At that moment, protected by several powerful secret treasures, his body was still constantly being shattered and annihilated. On one side stood the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array.

On the other was the Endless River of Blood, activated and controlled by Luo Feng using the Star Tower.

Both had reached the power limit of Origin Continent. At this moment, the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array, having traversed a great distance, forcefully pressed down, aiming to defeat the Endless River of Blood.

"Bang!!!"

The expressions of Emperor Fu, Emperor Chu, Emperor Yan, Emperor Ming, Emperor Kong, and the other eight Emperors changed simultaneously.

As they controlled the array, attempting to crush their opponent, they felt the boundless power of the Endless River of Blood. Its might was perfectly unified, like a colossal blood python that, with a single roll, repelled the entire Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array!

Eight Emperors had joined forces!

Emperor Fu and Emperor Ming were both part of it! In their view, a formidable array that was practically invincible was actually at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation?

"Impossible!"

"The Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array's power had already reached the limit of Origin Continent! Moreover, it was driven by a formation treasure, making its profundity utterly mysterious."

"Even with Emperor Ming's mental fortitude assisting in mobilizing the array's power, we still can't win?"

Emperor Fu, Emperor Chu, Emperor Yan, and the others found it hard to believe.

"Permeate." Emperor Fu immediately switched the array's mode.

In an instant, the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array became illusory, as if it were part of space itself, silently enveloping the vast Endless River of Blood.

The Endless River of Blood surged powerfully, and with a slight burst of its might, countless tiny cracks appeared even on the membrane of the Origin World. The Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array instantly developed numerous cracks as well.

"Quickly retract the array," Emperor Ming urged anxiously.

"Retreat." Emperor Fu no longer dared to attempt to encircle the entire Endless River of Blood. The array instantly became hidden and distanced itself.

"In a head-on clash, we are no match. Even spatial permeation fails," Emperor Fu transmitted to his seven companions. "What should we do?"

"Our array has already reached the power limit of Origin Continent, yet we lost in a direct confrontation. Clearly, there's at least a qualitative difference in profoundness," Emperor Yan anxiously transmitted. "This black-robed figure is likely an existence above a God-King."

"Could it be that the Myriad Worlds Lord has broken through and reached beyond God-King?"

"Or is it the Ancestor of the East Extreme Domain taking action?"

All eight Emperors felt a sense of panic.

With eight of them combining forces and still being at a disadvantage, they didn't believe an Ultimate Realm being could achieve this.

The publicly known existences above God-Kings on Origin Continent were the Ancestors of the two kingdoms, the Ancestor of the East Extreme Domain, and Emperor Qing—these four! The Myriad Worlds Lord, having comprehended a complete grand dao independently, also had the potential to take that step.

"Quick, save me, my body can't hold on! I'm going to die!" Emperor Yuan transmitted, his voice filled with anxiety and despair.

"We can't save you," Emperor Fu transmitted. "Even with all eight of us combined, we're no match!"

"Emperor Yuan, reincarnate!" Emperor Yan also transmitted. "Absolutely do not use a resurrection vessel; it's too weak and cannot withstand the black-robed figure's pursuit."

Emperor Yuan had felt a glimmer of hope when he sensed the arrival of the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array.

But a breath of time passed! The grand array and the Endless River of Blood clashed multiple times, each time falling into a disadvantage and being completely suppressed.

"It's over," Emperor Yuan's heart turned cold at that moment.

One by one, the Emperors were now transmitting messages to him.

"Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing, save me."

"Emperor Qing."

Emperor Yuan called out repeatedly.

At that moment, he only yearned for Emperor Qing to intervene, but Emperor Qing did not reply to him from beginning to end.

"It's truly over."

Emperor Yuan realized at this moment that he had no other choice.

If it were ordinary God-Kings fighting, even if their true bodies were destroyed, they could still continue cultivating by relying on a resurrection vessel.

But the black-robed figure's Endless River of Blood possessed profound abilities that utterly suppressed the 'Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array'; its realm was unbelievably high! Such an existence must be skilled in karmic or curse-killing techniques.

A resurrection vessel was weaker than any kind of clone. It was at its weakest immediately after resurrection!

The black-robed figure was also skilled in mental attacks.

Facing karmic curse attacks and mental attacks, Emperor Yuan knew that his resurrection vessel would most likely perish! Such a death would be a complete and utter demise, leaving no time for reincarnation.

"Emperor Qing, oh Emperor Qing, I'm dying, and you still won't acknowledge me." Emperor Yuan felt a surge of indignation at that moment. As his physical body was rapidly permeated and destroyed, he had no time for further thoughts.

In his final moments, he wistfully gazed at the powerful secret treasures on his person.

Five powerful secret treasures, an Ultimate Realm lifeform... all were gone.

"Om."

When only ten percent of his physical body remained, Emperor Yuan, with a single thought, activated the secret reincarnation technique.

"Hmm?"

Luo Feng, controlling the vast and mighty Endless River of Blood, noticed Emperor Yuan's body disintegrating, leaving behind only his artifacts.

"Reincarnated?" Luo Feng was prepared to cast a curse-killing spell alongside Morosa! Morosa was already skilled in curse-killing at the God-King First Stage, and now as an Ultimate Realm being, he was naturally very confident in cursing a resurrection vessel to death.

Luo Feng's path of destruction had also reached the God-King Second Stage, and he had further comprehended numerous destruction-path secret runes from the Star Tower, allowing him to activate curse-killing techniques as well.

Their combined effort against a newly resurrected vessel had a very high probability of success.

"This Emperor Yuan was quite decisive, choosing reincarnation instead of transferring his consciousness to a resurrection vessel," Luo Feng thought. "If he ever exposes his identity in the future, I'll find another opportunity to eliminate him."

The premise was that Emperor Yuan would actively expose his identity. Once reincarnated, as long as Emperor Yuan was careful, no one would know his reincarnated self.

"Whoosh." Luo Feng's Endless River of Blood swept forth, gathering Emperor Yuan's abandoned secret treasures and other items.

"Black-robed one!"

A furious roar came from afar.

The eight Emperors within the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array all looked over. The one roaring in anger at this moment was Emperor Yan!

Emperor Yan angrily declared, "Black-robed figure, even if you are an existence beyond a God-King, our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom will not stand idly by after you have killed one of our Emperors."

"Hahaha..." Luo Feng chuckled, "You won't stand idly by, but what can you do?"

"This black-robed figure!"

"He clearly doesn't regard us at all!"

The eight Emperors were furious, yet they knew there was nothing they could do.

Under the limitations of Origin Continent's rules, once one reached beyond a God-King, even the Ancestors of the two kingdoms would find it very difficult to deal with them.

However, in reality, figures like the Ancestor of the East Extreme Domain and the Myriad Worlds Lord were relatively low-key, because they understood very well that the Ancestors of the two kingdoms had long reached extremely high realms. If they were to venture outside Origin Continent, they still couldn't afford to offend the two Ancestors, and might even need some assistance from them.

This was also why the Ancestor of the East Extreme Domain conceded to the Ancestors of the two kingdoms.

"This being beyond a God-King is truly unrestrained. What can we do?" The Emperors felt quite helpless.

They watched the black-robed, golden-masked powerful figure and his elderly servant within the vast River of Blood. This master and servant clearly didn't care about offending the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom.

Morosa's current disguised appearance bore some resemblance to Sitting Mountain Guest's disguised puppet.

"Let's go."

Luo Feng smiled, then, taking Morosa and sweeping the Endless River of Blood with him, he departed.

The Emperors in the Primordial Space Eight-Phase Array looked at each other.

"What now?"

"Emperor Yuan has reincarnated. Given his debt within the clan, even if he were to be 'identified' by the royal family after his reincarnation, he would no longer be able to cultivate into an Ultimate Realm lifeform."

"If he can't become an Ultimate Realm lifeform, revealing his identity would be courting death!"

These Emperors understood this point.

An ordinary God-King at the peak of the Second Stage would find it extremely difficult to survive the black-robed figure's pursuit.

"Therefore, I suspect Emperor Yuan will not come to the royal family to be identified after his reincarnation."

"What a pity..."

"Thirteen Emperors have become twelve."

"This is a great joke for our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom's royal family."

They sighed.

In the past, Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom was incredibly powerful, suppressing all sides. Apart from the Thunder Ancient Kingdom, no other major force dared to confront them directly; all would bow their heads in their presence.

Yet today, Emperor Yuan had died.

The death of an Emperor had an immense impact on Origin Continent.

"The black-robed figure's strength is beyond our ability to contend with. Let's inform Emperor Qing about this. And... also report it to the Ancestor," Emperor Jiufeng said, shaking his head with a sigh.

"Yes, we must inform the Ancestor," Emperor Xuan added.

"Let's go."

Emperor Fu immediately controlled the array, leading the many Emperors back together.

At Huyang City, atop the City Lord's Manor pavilion.

Luo Feng and Morosa were drinking.

"Master is wise; systematically eliminating those great sinners drew out the true culprit behind them," Morosa said with delight. "Hahaha, publicly killing an Emperor of Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom was incredibly satisfying!"

"This Emperor Yuan deserved to die. It's a pity I can't break the reincarnation method, otherwise I would have killed him even after his reincarnation." Luo Feng felt no pity for a scoundrel like Emperor Yuan, who consumed living beings 'by the kingdom,' making him many times more terrifying than the Sky Roc.

"I even thought of sparring with Master before... now I realize I'm far too inferior to Master," Morosa remarked with emotion.

He had truly witnessed it this time.

As a fused grand dao, the Dao of Creation and Destruction's seven-branch fusion techniques already rivaled a World Beast's ultimate moves, and its eight-branch fusion techniques touched the threshold of 'beyond God-King.' When activated through the Star Tower, the realm was far higher, naturally making Morosa look up in awe.

"Stop flattering me," Luo Feng chuckled. "This matter isn't over yet."

"Not over yet?" Morosa asked, puzzled.

"Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom still has Emperor Qing, and that unfathomable Yanfeng Ancestor," Luo Feng said. "Let's see what they do next."
