Chapter 84: One Person
The number of Immortal Emperors within the Huang Realm did not exceed ten. They were the pinnacle of power among the forces of the Huang Realm. Should any force or sect develop an Immortal Emperor, they would automatically become a peak first-rate power.
But since the creation of the Huang Realm over three million years ago, there was less than ten. But now, within the span of a day, two new Immortal Emperors appeared, and it was two Soul Emperors at that. The Immortal Monarchs observing this all felt speechless at this sight.
Some of them were even over a million or two millions year old yet had never crossed the final step to become an Immortal Monarch. They felt their blood run cold as they recalled how easily Emperor Soulfish dispatched Monarch Yonderheart.
All of them had witnessed how the expert in the Dao of Space had exited out of his portal with a bewildered expression. Soon after, his soul was extracted easily. Not even his body was spared.
The Cloud Goddess’s Aspect was unable to do anything either. She had expended the foundation of the Aspect’s lifeforce and was slowly disappearing into the world. She faded away like morning fog.
All of the Immortal Monarchs began to retreat. This was no longer a battle they could intervene in. Aside from the three who left the realm, only the incomplete Emperor Mirrorevil and Sword Empress Xi could do anything in this battle between Emperors.
Emperor Soulfish frowned. His hand reached towards one of the petals of the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus.
A dot of light sprang into existence atop the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus. It was a caterpillar with a texture that resembled a floorboard, but its body was shiny as if it was made from crystal. Its translucent flesh revealed the innard organs that glowed with silvery-white light like the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus.
There were little bitemarks and even a few holes on the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus; the culprit was clear.
An invisible pressure descended onto the area and caused all the Immortal Monarchs to feel suffocated. It wasn’t a physical feeling but rather one that their souls felt. If any of the True Immortals were here, they would have directly had their souls injured by the pressure alone. Nothing needed to be said for mortals.
“Spring Autumn Butterfly Larva...” The killing intent in Emperor Soulfish’s voice reached the peak, and his hand continued forward to crush the insect that dared to nibble and take away the properties of the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus.
Under the pressure, the caterpillar seemed to wilt a bit as its body stiffened. It lost its grip and fell off the petal and started to plummet to the ground, but how could Immortal Soulfish allow the little thief to escape?
Unfortunately for him, it was at this moment that the Northern Region changed. It was still the Northern Region, yet not the Northern Region.
The Immortal Monarchs all felt the world changed, but only the surface level of change.
Emperor Soulfish felt his body become constricted as he was a mortal plunged into the abyss of the sea. Not just that, but his ability to absorb the spiritual qi of the realm and convert them into immortal qi disappear. He calmly turned to face the source of the change.
Standing in the air was Xi Mengfei. Her purple robes fluttered in the air, her long black hair danced with the wind, her very presence was like the god of the realm.
Emperor Soulfish gently moved the hand he was holding the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus. But the instant he moved, a black crystalline sword appeared in Mengfei’s hand and stabbed towards him.
“We can talk. I have the million-year accumulations of the Begonia Tower. If you let me leave, I can give you anything you want.” He opened his mouth to speak, but he felt his body become even more constricted. “We are both Immortal Emperors here. Nothing good will come out if we try to kill each other-“
“Shut up.” Mengfei only said those to words. The black sword in her hand was black to the point that it appeared as if it was a hole in reality, but at the same time, it appeared perfectly translucent. “I told you, if you appeared before me, I will kill you.”
Emperor Soulfish didn’t say anymore. At this juncture, saying anything would be a waste of breath. However, he couldn’t understand why a person like Sword Empress Xi would be so willing to fight for a parasite.
Zhang Cuiying frowned when she heard it. “So the reason the Emperor Mirrorevil was active as a mortal and Emperor Soulfish became active when he ascended the Immortal Realm was because they were one?”
“I don’t know. Usually, the aura of the soul doesn’t change between the true body and the clone. But it seems that the young lad has some unique ability. Or perhaps it is a secret technique of Begonia Tower.” Eternal Night Emperor said.
Zhang Cuiying looked over towards the unconcerned Cloud Goddess. The Cloud Goddess spoke. “Emperor Mirrorevil is selfish and demonic. Slaughtering countless mortals to further his path, the number of innocents who were subjected to calamity to him are innumerable. Friend from the Earth Continent and Empress Voidink, I ask you to aid me in exterminating this scourge.”
“Naturally, as members of the orthodox path, preventing this Devil from causing any further damage to the world is our duty.” Zhang Cuiying said.
“Although I am from the Earth Continent, matters concerning Immortal Emperors affect the whole realm. How can I shrink my duty?” Eternal Night Emperor said.
The three of them, who were said to be on opposing sides, shared a tactic smile before rushing towards Emperor Soulfish.
The Immortal Monarchs witnessed one of the rare occurrences of four Immortal Emperor level experts teaming up. All four of them were experts among the Immortal Emperor level experts, including Mengfei, the youngest of the four.
As the battle continued, Emperor Soulfish was blasted back from the combined assault. His robe was in near tatters, and his right arm was beyond mangled. In spite of all this, the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus clutched to his chest was undamaged. Even the Immortal Artifact Soul Pagoda behind him had had cracks all over it.
Beside him, his clone Mirrorevil was barely clinging onto a single breath. The clone’s glass-like body had numerous fractures all over it.
“If you give up the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus, you may have a chance to flee.” Zhang Cuiying said. Among the four of them, she was one most worried about the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus.
“Senior Voidink, you should be very clear. As long as a soul’s remnant enters the Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus, they will be able to reincarnate with the perfect body. You of all people should understand that this Sovereign Nine Yin Lotus is more important to me than my life!” Emperor Soulfish said, his eyes tranquil despite the unpleasant circumstance.
“You’re right.” Zhang Cuiying said. She pulled out a scroll longer than her arm and thicker than a tree trunk. She unfurled it, and inside there were numerous copies of a single figure. It depicted a man in shining silver armor and spear.
With a flick, the scroll unfurled until a clear line could be seen from the sky even from the ground. From the scroll, hundreds of soldiers began to pop out from it. Each of these silver soldiers had the aura of an Immortal. Finally, the ten-thousandth and last armored warrior appeared. It had a trident instead of a spear and a large red plume atop his helmet. Unlike the aura of True Immortals, the other soldiers exuded, he exuded the aura of an Immortal Monarch.
Voidink Scroll – Heavenly Immortal Soldiers
The spectating Immortal Monarchs once again found their mouths hanging open in shock.
Nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine True Immortal Soldiers and one Immortal Monarch General
No, ignoring that Empress Voidink was able to summon an Immortal Monarch from her scroll, just the sheer number of True Immortals was staggering. And judging by the size of the scroll, she wouldn’t happen to have even more, right?
They couldn’t help but question. Ten thousand Immortals was already a staggering amount, perhaps larger than the total number of Immortals in the Huang Realm.
But Eternal Night Emperor, Cloud Goddess, Xi Mengfei, and Emperor Soulfish didn’t show any surprise. To experts of their level, being surrounded by ten thousand True Immortals was nothing fatal. They may not win against the sheer numbers, but leaving alive was easy. In addition, the scroll soldiers were imitations and incapable of unleashing the power of true Immortals.
The real problem was the formation they began to set up. If combined with Xi Mengfei’s dominance of the Northern Region, then the chances of Emperor Soulfish escaping would practically be zero.
The next few actions, none of the Immortal Monarchs were able to comprehend clearly. Just as it seemed that Emperor Soulfish lost his mind and started an assault with his clone, a light brighter than anything they’ve witnessed before blinded them.
When they regained their sight, the strange feeling disappeared. Immortal Soulfish and his clone were nowhere to be seen. Neither were the other Immortal Emperors.
