Chapter 2297: The Fleeing Fifth Emperor
Chapter 2297: The Fleeing Fifth Emperor
The battles of the West Sea Heavenly Ark and the Undying Heavenly Human were still intense and without a clear result.
Due to the interference of the Heavenly Dao, the crushing advantage brought by the arrival of Shangguan Yi was instantly eliminated without mercy.
Meanwhile, the battles between the five God of Creation Stage divine beings and the ten primordial beings also rocked heaven and earth. It was as if they were about to annihilate the entire world.
This was especially the case with Hei Shi. After being enveloped and squeezed by countless lumps of sanguine red and bulbous flesh, it was as if she had experienced something that had crossed her bottom line, causing her to become incredibly furious. She surprisingly used a blood sacrificial mystic technique, summoning countless bursts of milky-white essential power that transformed into peerless spear projections that pierced the lumps of bulbous flesh into energy particles.
Hei Shi was like a lioness as she broke free from the lumps of bulbous flesh, and she immediately caught up to the Cloud Roc and wildly thrust her spear toward it. Her attacks were so ferocious that even the nearby Sky Alligator felt a cold chill shooting down its spine.
There was a hint of red amid the white spear projections, and this caused the sharpness and power of the spear projections to rise by another level. Even though the body of the Cloud Roc was as tough as divine tools, it was still ruthlessly ripped into shreds by Hei Shi’s furious and merciless sword projections.
Not only that, but Hei Shi’s attacks were also incredibly vicious. It was as if she were willing to be stabbed twice just to stab the Cloud Roc once. She attacked the Cloud Roc without any regard for her own safety. From a bystander’s point of view, it was as if there were some tremendous hostility and hatred between them.
It wasn’t long before the Cloud Roc’s body was ravaged with gaping wounds.
In fact, even the sky behind it was left with gaping holes and terrifying fractures that emanated infinitely far into the horizon.
Even the sky hadn’t been spared from Hei Shi’s wrathful fury.
The battles between the God of Creation Stage divine beings and the ten primordial beings were intense and earth-shattering.
However, the battle between the Fifth Emperor, An Lin, and Tina was still the focal point of the entire White Nectar Sea and the billions upon trillions of beings of the Tai Chu Continent.
The Fifth Emperor was even more powerful than the Fourth Emperor.
However, regardless of how proud it was and how threatening its words were, it still had no option but to resist and block An Lin and Tina’s combined attacks.
It was just that it didn’t seem as disheveled as the Fourth Emperor as it blocked An Lin and Tina’s attacks.
Not only that, but it could even occasionally find an opportunity to counterattack.
In terms of combat capability alone, the Fifth Emperor was only slightly more powerful than either An Lin or Tina. However, faced with their combined attacks, it definitely wasn’t powerful enough to suppress both of them.
However, this wasn’t to say that the Fifth Emperor didn’t have its advantages.
Its agile manipulation of the three Supreme Heavenly God Powers, as well as its control over the Heavenly Power that almost enveloped the entire Tai Chu Continent, were its advantages.
As long as An Lin and Tina didn’t possess the ability to instantly kill it, it would be able to continually flee from them using the Heavenly Heaven Power, continually heal itself using the Heavenly Life Power, and continually exhaust them using the boundless Heavenly Power.
Fighting as it fled—this was the Fifth Emperor’s strategy!
In fact, this strategy was genuinely effective in the short term, with An Lin and Tina being completely unable to thoroughly suppress it. Their battle was locked in a stalemate.
“Fifth Emperor! You’re nothing but a little brother compared to your four brothers!” An Lin shouted. He was out of plans, and this was the only thing he could do at this moment. His voice was filled with contempt and disdain as he continued, “At the very least, your four brothers had the courage to battle with me head-on. On the contrary, is fleeing the only thing you can do? You’re going to flex the most, yet you’re also going to flee the furthest?”
However, the Fifth Emperor was completely unfazed as it unleashed a Heaven Splitting Palm, blocking Tina who was trying to launch a sneak attack. Its voice was calm as it said, “I’m legitimately their little brother.”
At this moment, An Lin—who had closed in a little—made a grabbing motion at the Fifth Emperor. A giant and fearsome Five Elements Formation instantly materialized in the air, with the Fifth Emperor in its center.
The Vermilion Bird of Flames, the Tortoise of Water, the Tiger of Gold, the Dragon of Wood, and the Qilin of Earth all materialized at this moment, surrounding the Fifth Emperor who was in the center of the formation.
“I’ve finally captured you… Five Spirits Heaven Vanquishing Killing Formation!” An Lin roared as he made a grabbing motion at the void. Five monstrous powers instantly circulated and intertwined, completely restricting the movements of the flying Fifth Emperor.
Meanwhile, the Five Elements Halo behind An Lin started to rapidly spin, funneling a newly fused Five Elements Power into the five spirits of the formation. This caused their auras to rise explosively and become even more terrifying.
The Fifth Emperor tried to use its Heavenly God Powers, yet its hands and feet were bound and suppressed by a pervasive Five Elements Power.
“You’ve been preparing for this moment the entire time?” the Fifth Emperor asked. Although An Lin’s pursuit had been aggressive, the Fifth Emperor had sensed that he hadn’t been using his full power. Perhaps this was because An Lin couldn’t capture the Fifth Emperor if he unleashed his full power at once. Thus, he had decided to slowly accumulate his power before suddenly unleashing it at once.
An Lin didn’t reply. Instead, he carefully controlled the Five Spirits Heaven Vanquishing Killing Formation.
The Five Elements Power of the formation transformed into countless threads that pervaded the entire space as they wrapped around and restricted the Fifth Emperor. The five spirits of the formation then launched deadly attacks at the Fifth Emperor!
The Tiger of Gold was a metallic tiger spirit that was composed of a dark-gold metal alloy. As it leaped around, its razor-sharp edges could transform into the sharpest of blades that sliced the surrounding void into pieces.
“Roar!” The Tiger of Gold roared as it swiped its paws at the Fifth Emperor.
The Fifth Emperor’s pupils contracted, and it unleashed a devastating power to reduce the restrictive power of the formation to a minimum. It then slightly dashed forward, just barely dodging the Tiger of Gold’s attack and moving to its side.
However, just as the Fifth Emperor thought that the Tiger of Gold was going to rush past it, a streak of gold suddenly flashed through the air. Like a supreme heavenly saber, the Tiger of Gold’s tail slammed into the Fifth Emperor’s side.
The overwhelming force of this strike was like an erupting volcano, and the sharpness of the tiger’s tail was vicious enough to sever two realms!
The tail of the Tiger of Gold ruthlessly slammed into the Fifth Emperor after shredding its concentrated defensive barrier of Heavenly Power apart. The Fifth Emperor vomited blood as it was sent flying backward, and its clothes were torn apart to reveal the bloody gash on its waist.
It was also at this moment that an ice-cold gaze appeared behind the Fifth Emperor.
A giant black tortoise was standing behind the Fifth Emperor and chuckling in a sinister manner.
The Fifth Emperor had an ominous feeling, and it immediately summoned a profound Heavenly Heaven Power and Heavenly Power as it turned around to unleash a palm strike at the Tortoise of Water!
The Tortoise of Water hadn’t imagined that the Fifth Emperor’s counterattack would be so ferocious, and it was so frightened that its head and limbs instantly retracted into its shell. This shell was then violently sent flying by the Fifth Emperor.
At this moment, the Dragon of Wood had already arrived in the sky above the Fifth Emperor. Like soaring dragons, numerous tree trunks that were glowing with a green divine light extended toward the Fifth Emperor.
“You want to capture me with such slow attacks?”
The Fifth Emperor chuckled coldly, and it immediately dashed aside to dodge.
At this moment, the Qilin of Earth who was resting beneath the spell formation suddenly opened its eyes.
A purple forcefield instantly appeared beneath the Fifth Emperor’s feet, releasing a tremendous gravitational force that was billions of times more powerful than normal. This gravitational force furiously dragged at the Fifth Emperor, even causing its bones to groan and creak under stress!
The Fifth Emperor’s movements instantly faltered, allowing the tree trunks to coil around its body and bind its hands, waist, neck, and feet. In fact, even its ten wings were tightly bound and restricted.
“Squawk!” A Vermilion Bird soared through the sky, extending its wings toward the restricted Fifth Emperor.
At this moment, the Vermilion Bird’s fiery red feathers unleashed a radiance that was even brighter than the sun. An unimaginable heatwave surged into the surroundings, causing the void within a radius of thousands of kilometers to twist and contort!
The Vermilion Bird inside An Lin’s sea of vital energy also extended its wings at this moment, resonating with the Vermilion Bird in the outside world. It yearned to unleash all of its power in this attack!
“Five Elements Crush the Heavens—Chaotic Flames of the Vermilion Bird!”
