Yun Shang sent Long Chen away with a palm strike, formed hand seals, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky, piercing the firmament. The light exploded, encompassing the entire Tianwu Continent.
"Buzz"—
the light curtain rapidly contracted, sweeping across the battlefield. On the battlefield, all the fiercely battling Tianwu Continent experts vanished in an instant.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and the others suddenly felt their vision blur—they had already entered the core area of the Tianwu Continent, and they were actually being protected.
"This ..."
Mo Nian was stunned. What's going on? They're not allowed to fight?
Emperor Yunshang's body flickered, appearing beneath the shadow of the Eastern Wilderness Bell, overlooking the entire battlefield.
Yun Shang, Mo Li, Qing Xu, Han Wei, and Emperor Ziyang formed hand seals simultaneously. The divine light of the five great artifacts descended, protecting everyone.
The five Great Emperors spoke simultaneously, their voices shaking the world: "By the Emperor's command, I swear by all gods and demons
:
I am here, guarding the borders, waging war across the eight wilds, quelling chaos and eliminating evil, protecting the peace of Tianwu, and ensuring peace throughout the realm."
When I die, my soul will not enter reincarnation, but will sink into the earth to nourish all things. When demons attack, the blood soul awakens and transforms into city walls to block evil invasions. "
The Great Emperor spoke, heaven and earth trembling, his tone filled with boundless dominance, and a childlike heart devoted to defending the Tianwu Continent.
The five Great Emperors set up a barrier for everyone, protecting them. For a moment, countless people wept bitterly.
The Great Emperor was born to fight for the Tianwu Continent, and even in death, he must guard its peace. The Great Emperor is their guardian deity, and his feelings are supreme.
The Great Emperor is invincible; no one can kill them. They choose to die voluntarily, returning their power to the Tianwu Continent, allowing more people to gain fortune and seek a chance to break the deadlock.
The Five Great Emperors, each generation was great. To save the Tianwu Continent, they gave up becoming gods and reincarnation, choosing to disappear forever in this world just to defend this territory.
Mo Nian, Guo Ran, Gu Yang, and the others all cried. They had fought countless battles, endured life-and-death tribulations, shed countless bloods, but had never shed a tear.
Today, they cried. In this world, there is a realm called the Great Emperor that cannot be surpassed, and a supreme sentiment called the Great Emperor. They have sacrificed so much for the Tianwu Continent.
"In this world, there is no such thing as peaceful times; it's just that someone carries the burden for us.
The reason we can see the light is because someone uses their body and soul to shield us from the darkness. Meng Qi looked at the five Great Emperors, her voice choked with emotion.
The Great Emperor is dead, and they are using their last strength to protect everyone. When their power is exhausted, the Great Emperor's figure will disappear forever. As time passes, who knows how many will remember them in the future, and how many will still be willing to believe in such a mythical existence?
The High Priest, Ling Yunzi, Ma Ruyun, Tianyu Zhenren, and others were also teleported back.
"Your Majesty, your true feelings and nature command respect." The High Priest exclaimed. Although he was a follower of the God of Wine, he was also deeply revered by the Great Emperor.
"Boom boom boom... The
armies of the Blood Clan, Beast Clan, and Undying Clan launched a frenzied attack on the barrier formed by the five Great Emperors, but the result was as immobile as a dragonfly shakeing a pillar, not moving an inch.
The demon army was almost wiped out at once, leaving only a few people beside the altar and Moluo Tianxing, who was absorbing power on the altar.
Ling Yunzi said, "The Great Emperor is asking us to temporarily cease fighting and avoid slaughter. That way, we will provide them with more blood soul power, accelerate their ascension to emperor, and also give Ling Tian Zhuang more energy." "
Ling Tian Zhuo seems to be temporarily under control." Ma Ruyun said.
Because at this moment, the world was silent, the earth no longer rose, and the crisis was temporarily alleviated.
"The power of an emperor will eventually be exhausted. Master, shouldn't we do something?" Yue Zifeng asked.
Ling Yunzi smiled faintly: "What we need to do is wait quietly. This is a battle for the heavens; only those who defy heaven can turn the tide." "
A defiant person?" Is it the boss? Guo Ran and the others were shocked.
Ling Yunzi nodded and said, "That's right. The heavens' favorites are those who extend the heavens, the heavens and earth's anomalies seize the heavens, and those who fear heaven and earth are the ones who defy the heavens."
Now that the laws of heaven and earth were in chaos, Long Chen's identity had nothing to hide. If he spoke now, he wouldn't be locked onto by the Heavenly Dao. When
the identity of the Defiant was revealed, all the powerful figures present fell into shock. However, Li Tianxuan remained very calm, because he had long guessed Long Chen's identity. However, he was cautious and never mentioned it to anyone.
"No wonder Long Chen's life was full of hardships. The heavenly tribulations were terrifying, each one a death sentence. This is the Heavenly Dao trying to destroy him." Only then did people suddenly understand.
"Legend has it that those who defy heaven have companions. No wonder the people around Long Chen cultivate so quickly, ignoring their talent foundation and forcibly turning a group of people with poor aptitude into top-tier experts."
The younger generation of Defiant Ones looked confused and didn't know what they were, but the older generation of strong ones did, because there were countless rumors about Defiant Heavens.
However, in history, there have been those who defied the heavens, rising like comets, but often only to be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation as soon as they blossomed.
Those who defy heaven and never truly grow up die young, so most don't pay much attention to this legendary existence.
When Ling Yunzi revealed Long Chen's identity, countless people were shocked. There is no legend in history of a defiant rising from the heavens.
"This rascal, hehe, good, really good, hahaha, our kid actually has a defiant figure. This brag, I could brag about it for a lifetime." The old man chuckled, full of pride.
At this moment, the old man was covered in blood, his face and beard covered in fresh blood, but he didn't care at all, nor did he wipe it off.
Although Bao Buping and Chang Hao of the Heaven-Opening Divine Sect had both advanced to the Ninth Layer of Fusion Heaven, their combat power was still much inferior to the old man.
The old man had devoted his life to studying the Nine Forms of Opening Heaven and the War God Atlas. With the support of Long Chen's pills, he had actually broken through to the mid-stage of Fusion Heaven.
But in the mid-stage of Fusion Heaven, his destructive power far surpasses Bao Buping and Chang Hao. If they really dueled, they would be killed by the old man within ten moves. As the old man said, the old ginger is always spicier.
Especially with the old man having the Heaven-Opening Blade and the Heaven-Opening Divine Stele as his blessing, two ancestral artifacts supporting him, he was virtually invincible on the battlefield. If it weren't for Bao Buping and Chang Hao desperately holding him back, the old man would have even considered a showdown with the Emperor.
"Speaking of Long Chen, where is Long Chen?"
Shocked, Qu Jianying searched the crowd for a long time but found no sign of Long Chen.
"Long Chen is already at the core of the star domain. You need to prepare. This barrier won't last long. The Tianwu Continent still needs your strength to guard it." At that moment, the voice of Emperor Yunshang reached everyone's ears.
