Soul Emperor Martial God Chapter 5063: Samsara war emperor, battle of the twelve ancestors
Previously on Soul Emperor Martial God...
A single wish, a simple aspiration, yet it was his greatest hope at this moment.
For that, in itself, was sufficient.
However, he was acutely aware that foreseen crises invariably brought forth unforeseen occurrences.
The reason? There would invariably be an abundance of foolish individuals.
"It is regrettable that the Seven Great Horizons declined to offer assistance, and it took me months to awaken the emperor servant, all in vain," Xiao Yi murmured, a frown creasing his brow.
"I can only hope these past months do not become a precursor that jeopardizes everything."
"I also pray that the Blood Flame World can endure these final few months."
Had it not been for the time expended in awakening the emperor servant, his cultivation might have reached its current pinnacle, allowing him to retreat to the Blood Flame World and resolve matters personally.
But as it stood, he could only dedicate himself to cultivation for several more months to compensate for the lost time.
"I can only hope that what I have put in place proves effective," Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.
After a considerable pause, he resigned himself to cease contemplation and recommitted to cultivating with all his might.
Within a designated sector of the void.
Jian Tong was locked in a desperate struggle against nine emperor servants.
Unquestionably, similar to their prior encounters, Jian Tong found himself completely outmatched.
This elder, nearing the end of his path, was relentlessly suppressed by the nine emperor servants, each at the pinnacle of supreme power.
Barring any unforeseen turn of events, Jian Tong was destined to perish here today.
Yet, with a cunning mind like Jian Tong's, he would not have appeared in this predicament without absolute certainty; how else could he be engaged in such a fierce battle within the siege rather than attempting an immediate escape?
As the conflict escalated, Jian Tong sustained injuries, diminishing his capacity to contend with the Nine Emperor Servants.
But at this critical juncture, Jian Tong erupted into a triumphant grin.
The cause? A formidable aura emanating from a distant location.
Whoosh, whoosh...
Instantly, nine streaks of light surged forward.
"Wicked beasts, cease your harm to living beings!" Panlong Supreme bellowed sternly, launching a furious assault on an emperor servant.
"You are Sword Boy, personally instructed by the ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Dao within Taixu Palace," Shaking Dragon Supreme landed beside Jian Tong, inquiring with concern, "Sword Boy, your injuries appear to be severe."
Jian Tong, his face pallid, cupped his hands. "I thank Xie Han Long, Supreme, for your concern. There is no grave injury."
"It is thanks to the timely arrival of the two Supreme Sacreds and the potent Heavenly Emperor bloodlines from the Desolate Heaven Territory that I was spared from these fiends of the Nether Territory."
"Your rescue today is an unforgettable debt."
Indeed, the nine streams of light were none other than the ultimate supreme powerhouses from the Myriad Desolations Heaven Territory.
Leading them were Panlong Supreme and Shaking Dragon Supreme.
The remaining seven were elite supreme powerhouses, their bloodlines stemming from the Emperor cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor.
While engaging an emperor servant, Panlong Supreme remarked, "Sword Boy, your injuries are significant; you should cease fighting."
Sword Boy clasped his hands in gratitude. "In the void, other contingents from our Taixu Palace are confronting these underworld monstrosities. I shall proceed to join my brethren."
"Understood," Panlong Supreme nodded. "Even if Sword Boy departs, our Wanhuangtianyu's subsequent reinforcements will arrive shortly, so have no fear."
"Thank you," Jian Tong bowed again, then ascended into the air, departing.
However, before vanishing, a subtle grin played on Jian Tong's lips as he mused inwardly, "With the powerful forces of the Heavenly Realm occupied by these underworld abominations, this young pup will now go and eliminate the stragglers within the Blood Flame World. Clean them all out."
"Xiao Yi, hah, by the time you realize what's happening, every corner of your Blood Flame World will have been ravaged."
"When only the central hub of the Blood Flame Realm remains within the ten thousand realms, you, the lord of the tenth realm, will be nothing more than a jester, a pawn easily manipulated by the adults."
With these thoughts, Jian Tong transformed into a streak of sword energy, vanishing into the distance in an instant.
Within the vast expanse of the void, this was but one of countless simultaneous battles, certainly not the sole engagement.
Consider the sheer might and formidable combat prowess of the gathered elites from the five heavens!
Within the void, upon a particular battlefield.
A total of eighteen Extreme Supremes from the Taixu Palace were locked in a fierce siege against nine emperor servants.
Meanwhile, on other void battlefronts.
"Elders, follow this Protector!" a Taixu Palace Protector commanded with booming authority.
This particular Protector held the rank of ultimate supreme.
Following in his wake were dozens of Eightfold Supremes.
While an Eightfold Supreme might not equal an Extreme Supreme, under the strategic leadership of the Taixu Palace Protector and their ancient combined attack formations, they managed to fight on par with the nine emperor servants.
The void still echoes with fierce combat today, marking the highest and most intense battlefield.
This realm belongs to the Twelve Dao Ancestors of Taixu Palace and the nine Reincarnation War Emperors.
The Twelve Dao Ancestors are beyond compare.
The Nine Great Reincarnation Battle Emperors stand as the most powerful among the three hundred emperor servants. Despite only possessing the ultimate supreme cultivation base, they exhibit strength on par with Dao Ancestors.
Yet, this ability to fight across cultivation levels proves insufficient against these twelve veteran Dao Ancestors.
"Thunder Punishment!" Dao Ancestor Heaven Punishment bellowed, unleashing rolling thunder from the sky that instantly sealed all escape routes for the Nine Great Reincarnations.
"The Promise Heaven Sword!" Dao Ancestor Tianjian's sword energy surged, and countless strikes instantly engulfed the nine great reincarnation war emperors.
The remaining Great Ancestors unleashed their might as well.
"Mingli Divine Fire!" Mingli Daozu raised his hands.
"Extinction Void Peak!" Taifeng Dao Ancestor shouted fiercely.
"Purify World Soul Power!" Ancient Soul Dao Ancestor roared.
"Void Illusory Tide!" Wuxiang Dao Ancestor's hands moved in intricate, mysterious gestures.
"..."
Faced with the Twelve Dao Ancestors, the nine great samsara war emperors were utterly defenseless.
Nevertheless, this spectacle underscored Taixu Palace's profound fear of the nine great reincarnation war emperors and their deep-seated dread of the disaster originating from the underworld in ages past.
Taixu Palace, by committing to this action, aimed to decisively eradicate the scourge of 'resurrection' from the dark realm.
The Twelve Dao Ancestors struck with unparalleled and immense power.
However, despite the full force of their assault, the nine great samsara war emperors remained completely unharmed.
"Huh?" Dao Ancestor Heavenly Sword's expression turned to shock. "My Promise Heaven Sword couldn't even scratch these barriers of the underworld?"
"The Purifying Soul Power had no effect on these reincarnation war emperors?" Dao Ancestor Ancient Soul frowned.
"Damn it." Dao Ancestor Wuxiang's pupils constricted. "These monsters from the underworld have already descended into the abyss. I knew they might ignore illusions, but I never expected that even the ultimate illusion techniques from my lineage would be ineffective."
The fact that the nine great reincarnation war emperors were unscathed sent waves of horror through the twelve Dao Ancestors.
However, the nine reincarnation war emperors were also immobilized, completely restrained by the power of the twelve ancestors, which brought a sigh of relief to the twelve.
Dao Ancestor Heavenly Sword narrowed his eyes. "With the combined strength of our Twelve Dao Ancestors, we will undoubtedly be able to eliminate these reincarnation war emperors."
Simultaneously.
Taixu Palace found its defensive forces almost entirely depleted.
Deep within the palace gates, Dongfang Danran and Yan Yi were the only two present who had not been dispatched to confront the underworld monsters.
Consequently, they remained within the confines of Taixu Palace.
Yet, for this very reason, the two found themselves confined within the palace's inner sanctum.
Yan Yi paced agitatedly. "This is a disaster! Even we are confined here, and I have no idea what's happening out there."
"Without our combined combat power, how can the Bloodflame World possibly contend against those formidable forces?"
"This is truly dire."
Suddenly.
Dongfang Danran's gaze sharpened. "Yan Yi, at this critical juncture, do you trust Brother Xiao?"
"That fellow?" Yan Yi's brow furrowed slightly. "I do, but given the current situation..."
Dongfang Danran's face, rarely showing such intensity, stated, "Then let's use him as our contingency plan. Are you willing to take that risk?"
...
Second update.
Today's update concludes.
While ensuring no leave requests are made, only two updates have been managed in the past few days.
After falling ill, I express my gratitude for everyone's care.
Although some friends are quite displeased with this situation, Xiao Ba is truly unable to do more, lacking the necessary energy.
The doctors have advised at least six months of rest, yet I find such idleness unbearable.
A follow-up hospital visit is scheduled in about half a month, and I sincerely hope it won't significantly impact future updates.
Thank you all for your understanding. I am truly sorry!
