"Yes... I’m about to burn out."
"Do you dare to come out and fight!"
Li Che uttered the challenge.
His voice was laced with a profound sense of loneliness and heroic tragedy.
Dominating the scene, the Sky Wolf Supreme, immense as a mountain, materialized its colossal wolf head from the enigmatic mist of the Qitian Inner City. The fog cascaded, slowly revealing the beast’s terrifying visage.
The giant, vertical pupils of the Sky Wolf locked onto the Ghost Emperor.
After a prolonged moment, the four radiant golden vortices began to dim, their brilliance fading from that of the blazing sun to the flicker of a dying ember.
The Sky Wolf Supreme narrowed its eyes. With a swift clench of its paw, the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, who had sought refuge within the Inner City, was flung out.
"Kill!"
"Slaughter the Mortal Martial Immortal, and earn a deed of great merit! When Strange Que eventually devours the human world, your divine blessings shall be assured!"
The Sky Wolf Supreme's voice boomed, its divine sound waves causing reality to tremble.
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable emerged from the Inner City, its gaze fixed upon the Ghost Emperor, who sat desolately on the Inner City's watchtower a hundred feet away.
Sensing the opponent’s depleted Qi and blood, the corners of the Venerable's mouth twisted into a grotesque grin.
"You’ve exhausted your Qi and blood, yet you still wish to fight to the death? Do you truly believe you possess the right?!"
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable let out a piercing howl. Its wings sliced through the air, shedding golden feathers. The divine aura unleashed, and the creature instantly transformed into a terrifying eagle, soaring across the heavens!
Like a celestial blade cleaving the earth, it streaked towards the Ghost Emperor!
Even facing a Mortal Martial Immortal whose power was nearly spent, the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable dared not show any hint of carelessness!
It unleashed its full might!
Kill!
As the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable closed in on the Ghost Emperor.
The four faintly glowing golden wheels behind the Ghost Emperor suddenly reignited, erupting with an intensely brilliant and dazzling radiance, as if affirming their power.
The Three-point double-edged knife hummed and vibrated, piercing through the void!
Li Che’s eyes flashed with fierce determination, and the Shengtian Half Son Dao Domain, spanning eight hundred feet, expanded rapidly!
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable immediately sensed a dire shift, an overwhelming crisis descending upon it, causing every feather on its eagle form to stand on end!
In the next instant, it felt its cultivation rapidly diminishing!
It was as if an immense force was dragging it down, its power plummeting within moments, dropping to the Second Calamity First Tribulation level, and still continuing to descend toward the First Calamity Divine Tribulation Realm!
"This..."
Yet, it could not afford to dwell on this; its golden feathers quivered, suppressed by the resurrected divine aura emanating from the Three-point double-edged knife!
Boom—!!!
The Ghost Emperor stood tall, his power reignited. His robust form seemed to stretch ten thousand feet high, golden Qi and blood surging. His five fingers clenched, unleashing the Myriad Transformations Dragon Elephant!
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable roared in fury, its eagle cry echoing through the Nine Heavens. Cracks began to appear on its Disaster Wheel as its aura surged, struggling desperately to break free from the pull of the Shengtian Half Son Dao Domain!
However, the devastating punch from the Unparalleled Martial Immortal had already connected.
That unyielding force, overwhelming as mountains and seas, with Qi and blood surging like tides, unleashed obliterative power, striking the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable with immense ferocity.
The might of its demon body proved insufficient against Li Che, who had detonated four Qimen Immortal Seeds!
Shattered, inch by inch, it ultimately dissolved into a mist of blood!
Countless black eagle feathers rained down, consumed by golden flames, igniting into a fiery inferno.
The golden feathers trembled, clanging incessantly, attempting to escape the suppression of the Three-point double-edged knife and dart back towards the Inner City.
But Li Che’s reflexes were swift; he captured the golden feathers instantly, storing them within the Heaven and Earth chessboard, suppressed by the Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart!
The Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable shrieked in agony, its demon soul writhing and raging like an uncontrollable tide!
Nevertheless, Li Che’s Martial Immortal will descended like a blade, expertly severing the demon soul of the Xuan Ying Demon God Venerable, slicing through the void.
Then, the shattered blood and the severed demon soul were meticulously collected into Mo City’s Fengdu.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
After these decisive actions, the four Qimen Immortal Seeds blazing behind Li Che gradually subsided, their light dimming from the brilliance of the sun to the flicker of dying flames.
He collapsed onto the ground, emerging from a space that had fractured like a mirror.
With his back turned to the multitude of martial artists and cultivators observing from beyond Qitian Outer City, he faced the supreme beings of the Deceitful Gods Camp, who were stationed in Qitian Inner City's Strange Que.
A profound sigh escaped his lips.
"Burned out... I'm truly burned out this time..."
A heavy silence descended.
The wind and waves churned, and the fragmented space echoed with clanging noises.
Within Qitian Inner City, a mysterious fog descended like a shroud, constantly shifting. The head of the Sky Wolf Supreme, complete with its vertical pupils, emerged from the mist, fixing its gaze upon the Earthly Ghost Emperor, who sat dejectedly on the ground.
The cultivators from the All Gods Camp, concealed within the Inner City, also fell silent.
This included the Divine General Venerable, who had been locked in combat with Fang Hanshu to impede his progress. The spear in his grip trembled ceaselessly.
Burned out?
Only the Ghost Emperor himself was privy to the full truth!
The Divine General Venerable's face flickered, his gaze seemingly directed towards the Supreme of the Dark Heavenly Court Camp.
At that precise moment, an absolute stillness enveloped both the interior and exterior of the city.
Outside the city, many audacious martial artists had yet to withdraw, still engrossed in observing the aftermath of the battle. They were astonished by the Earthly Ghost Emperor's final exertion, which had ruthlessly dispatched a Three Tribulations Venerable.
"Burned out... Is he truly at his limit?"
Numerous martial artists murmured in bewilderment.
For a fleeting instant, they questioned whether the Earthly Ghost Emperor had completely exhausted his vital essence, reaching the end of his lifespan and becoming a transient Martial Immortal.
"But he was destined to burn out eventually..."
Some martial artists experienced a surge of excitement, only to be followed by a sigh of resignation.
The undeniable fact remained that the Martial Immortal Ghost Emperor had depleted his Qi and blood. The immense power he had wielded, surpassing his innate level, had demanded a steep cost...
No one could ascertain how much longer the Ghost Emperor could maintain his state.
However, it was certain that the Ghost Emperor stood vigil at the entrance to Qitian Inner City, single-handedly confronting and deterring the forces of the Deceitful Gods Camp.
The catastrophic slaughter that might have unfolded within Qitian City today had been prevented, all thanks to the Earthly Ghost Emperor.
