The result was still the same green.
"Could this be a spatial maze?" The Immortal Emperor was somewhat unsettled. He took out a boundary-breaking talisman that shone with golden light from his robes and then crushed it.
Immediately afterwards, the Immortal Emperor disappeared from the green space and appeared in another green space.
"System, think of a solution quickly!" The Immortal Emperor was furious. He, the ruler of the Immortal Realm, was inexplicably trapped in a space and could not break out no matter how many times he tried.
"I'm already thinking about it." The Immortal Emperor System cursed under his breath. He had just used the top-grade spatial teleportation item and had indeed exited the green space, but the outside world was still an endless expanse of green, which was quite awkward.
There is only one possibility for this situation: the other side is determined to trap them here and has used a variety of super items to trap them, such as a spatial maze or an illusion.
In short, he had no way to get out.
Upon hearing the system's words, the Immortal Emperor knew the situation was serious. If there really was a way to solve it, why did he have to think about it for so long?
The great battle outside continues, and the nine immortal kings are experiencing the lowest point in their immortal lives, being brutally ravaged by a group of strong and powerful men who do not know any immortal magic.
The key is that everyone has a shadow system and an alternate dimension. Those immortal kings can fight three at once, but it would be very difficult for one to fight ten.
With the aid of advanced weaponry, the cannon fodder of the immortal realm has been almost exhausted, and the great battle is nearing its end. Even if the immortal king wanted to escape, he couldn't.
The only thing that's a little unsettling is that the other side once said that this was just an advance force, using the existing forces of the Soul Technology plane to attack them.
Once the real main force arrives, there will probably be at least ten or more powerful figures like the Immortal Emperor. That will be the real test.
The Immortal Emperor was trapped in the other-dimensional space of Mini Xiang Yu, and then, just as the one-way passage to the Underworld was about to close, he was taken into the Underworld by Mini Xiang Yu.
Once the passage is closed, even if the Celestial Emperor escapes from the other dimension, he will have little chance of threatening the mortal world.
As for the main enemy force that might arrive, Xiang Yu wasn't too worried. With the plane sealed off, it wouldn't be easy for the enemy to get in, and Yongyeyun had also completed the defense of the Soul Technology plane.
In fact, Hao Jiu had already deployed the Eternal Night Cloud in many key planes. The Soul Technology plane, being the central hub, required constant entry and exit, making it inconvenient to seal off the plane, which is why it hadn't been used until now.
Xu Fu cast another divination. According to the divination, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Soul Technology Plane. However, the divination might not be accurate, so we should still do our best to make the necessary preparations.
Hao Jiu has already begun planning his third awakening. The initial ideas have been finalized, and only some specific details are missing.
The underworld.
The miniature Xiang Yu shrunk to the size of a normal person and sped across the blood-red sky.
This world gave Xiang Yu a very uncomfortable feeling.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the underworld is a realm specifically for souls to live in, and those who enter with a physical body will inevitably experience some discomfort.
Xiang Yu has already ascertained the contact information of the Sages and plans to meet with them first to uncover the secrets of the underworld before deciding on his next move.
However, Xiang Yu encountered many demons and monsters along the way, and each one's first reaction was to pounce on him, wanting to feast on him.
As a result, they were all killed by Xiang Yu.
Besides the demons and monsters native to the underworld, he also encountered many cannon fodder from the celestial realm who had perished in the previous battle. All those who dared to attack Xiang Yu were annihilated.
The problem is that the underworld is too vast, and the location of the first generation of sages is too far away. Even though Xiang Yu flies very fast, it would still take him a long time to reach it.
Left with no other option, Xiang Yu decided to teleport directly there via the teleportation array in the Underworld City.
Xiang Yu had amassed considerable wealth along the way, so using the teleportation array once shouldn't be a problem.
Not long after, Xiang Yu arrived at a place called Black Ghost City.
The first reaction of the garrison here upon seeing Xiang Yu was to surround and kill him, but they were quickly terrified by Xiang Yu's killing spree. With a single move, Blood Storm, they wiped out half of the Netherworld army in the city.
The city lord was a black transvestite who, when he raised the white flag to surrender, even had a fawning expression on his face. His expression was as lewd as could be, and he respectfully sent Xiang Yu onto the teleportation array.
Xiang Yu thought this transvestite was somewhat sensible, and also felt that killing such a person would dirty his hands, so he let him go.
A flash of white light, and the energy stones of the entire Black Ghost City were instantly depleted; this was the result of an ultra-long-distance teleportation.
However, Xiang Yu did not expect that the other end of the teleportation array was built on a sea of blood, and was not the ghost city where the first generation of sages lived at all.
The creatures in this sea of blood are much stronger and more bloodthirsty than those on land, and there are many monsters with three heads and six arms.
More importantly, the teleportation array we just saw was a one-way teleportation array, so normally it would be impossible to return the way we came.
Fortunately, Xiang Yu had a cheat code; he could use system teleportation items to return to any place he had been.
Just as Xiang Yu used the teleportation item, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and Xiang Yu, who was originally above the sea of blood, inexplicably appeared inside the sea of blood.
Then, an aged voice suddenly appeared in Xiang Yu's ears.
"Since we're here, why leave? My Avici and Yuantu swords haven't drunk the blood of a living person in a long time, hahaha..."
"Could you be the Styx Master, who is said to be immortal and whose blood sea never runs dry?" Xiang Yu suddenly became interested. "Then I'll kill you first and then leave!"
"Then try taking my sword first..." After saying that, the Lord of the Styx gently swung the Avici Sword. The seemingly casual strike contained the supreme Dao, and in an instant, it split the boundless sea of blood in two!
However, Xiang Yu vanished in an instant.
A completely bewildered Immortal Emperor appeared where Xiang Yu had just been...
"No!"
Chapter 614 The Final Battle (Part 5)
Wherever the sword's edge passed, everything shattered.
Even the Celestial Emperor was no exception.
He died again, then resurrected in the blink of an eye, returning to his normal size and dressed as an immortal emperor.
The Lord of the Styx narrowed his eyes. "No wonder you dared to come alone; it turns out it was the Celestial Emperor himself. Was that person you in disguise, deliberately toying with me?"
The Immortal Emperor gasped, "Ancestor Styx? I'm not fighting you now, hand over that guy from earlier!"
"Hehe, back then you exhausted the spiritual energy of the entire world just to trap us here. How do you think I should repay you? I never expected that you would dare to come in alone to die, hahaha..." The Styx Lord laughed heartily, completely disregarding the Immortal Emperor's words.
"Do you think I'm still the same person I was back then? I can take you down by myself!" The Immortal Emperor's forehead veins throbbed as he drew a Heavenly Emperor Sword out of thin air and immediately engaged the Styx River Master in battle.
Originally, the Lord of the Styx was a notch stronger than the Immortal Emperor, but now that the Immortal Emperor also has a system, killing the Lord of the Styx shouldn't be too much of a problem.
The Lord of the Styx, wielding both swords with all his might, fought with his full strength. After a few rounds, he realized that his opponent's combat power had indeed increased considerably, and he was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
"Hmph! This is my home turf. As long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry up and the Styx River doesn't die, why would I be afraid of you!" The Styx River Lord became ruthless, using the power of the Blood Sea's origin, willing to risk mutual destruction to settle things with the Immortal Emperor.
The Immortal Emperor could have easily crushed the Styx Lord with the help of the system, but he had exhausted his inventory of items during his battle with Xiang Yu, and was still under lockdown after entering the Underworld.
After all, this underworld is only a part separated from the soul technology plane, not a truly independent plane.
Therefore, it's impossible for the Celestial Emperor to kill the Styx Master in one fell swoop; he can only do it little by little.
"If the Sea of Blood never dries up, and the River Styx never dies, then I will make your Sea of Blood completely dry up!" The Immortal Emperor transformed into a red sun, constantly evaporating the water in the Sea of Blood.
However, the sea of blood is so vast that at this rate of evaporation, it's impossible to know how long it would take to dry it up. Moreover, as the sea of blood loses its moisture, it becomes increasingly thick and viscous, making evaporation increasingly difficult.
"Heh! How dare you talk such nonsense! Go ahead and try!" The Styx Lord protected himself with the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Blood Lotus above his head, and wielded the Avici and Yuantu swords, hacking and slashing wildly, clearly going all out.
But the Celestial Emperor is a star at this moment. From a scientific point of view, it is a huge mass of hydrogen and helium plasma that can flow like a gas and has an extremely high temperature.
The Styx Cult Master's current methods are insufficient to kill the Immortal Emperor; in fact, if the stalemate continues, he will inevitably be defeated.
In fact, there is more than one Styx Lord living in this sea of blood.
If the powerful beings of the Underworld can work together, defeating the Celestial Emperor should not be difficult, and this is the only chance for the Lord of the Styx to win.
It's a pity that such a huge sun was submerged in the sea of blood, visible from a great distance, while all the other powerful beings in the sea of blood kept their distance.
The more the Styx Lord fought, the more obvious his disadvantage became. However, he could not run away. If he left the Blood Sea, his strength would be greatly reduced, and the Blood Sea might really dry up and be evaporated by the Immortal Emperor.
Just as the Lord of the Styx was caught in a dilemma, a voice entered his mind.
"If you want to win this battle, I can help you, provided you agree to the binding." Hao Jiu sent a shadow system to seduce the Styx Cult Leader.
"Why should I believe you?" The Styx Cult Leader searched around but couldn't find the source of the voice.
"If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have to do anything. You'd be dead in no time. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn't that right?" Hao Jiu coaxed him gently, and what he said was the truth.
The Lord of the Styx was fully aware of his situation. "How will this binding work?"
"After we're bound together, we'll live and die together. I can enhance your strength and help you kill the Immortal Emperor." Hao Jiuxin thought that living and dying together was impossible; at most, he would just be sacrificing a shadow system.
But there's nothing wrong with that, since the shadow system lives and dies with him.
The Lord of the Styx gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I agree!"
Binding successful!
"Very good. The Immortal Emperor will exhibit an abnormal condition in a moment. Seize the opportunity to kill him. Don't stop attacking. He is immortal, but there is a limit to the number of times he can revive. He cannot revive indefinitely." Hao Jiu was overjoyed. He had gained another Dao Ancestor-level henchman.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Styx was somewhat incredulous. How could an Immortal Emperor, with such immense power, experience such an abnormal situation so easily?
However, the next second, the Crimson Sun Immortal Emperor really encountered an abnormal situation; he froze!
The Lord of the Styx nearly popped his eyes out. The sun had frozen? You must be kidding me!
"What are you waiting for! Go!" Hao Jiu reminded him.
"Oh, wow!" The Styx Cult Master hurriedly unleashed several sword energies.
Click click click...
The enormous, frozen red sun shattered, and a white crystal fell into a patch of green at its center.
The Immortal Emperor split open on his own initiative because of that crystal. It couldn't be touched or destroyed, and it caused his immortal power to continuously drain away. Over time, his cultivation would definitely regress.
"Hahaha... You're finished!" The Styx Cult Leader's face lit up with wild joy.
Swish, swish, swish...
The swords Abi and Yuantu are incredibly powerful, being supreme treasures of the killing path. They kill without incurring karmic consequences, meaning there is no issue of retribution.
For ordinary cultivators, they are influenced by the power of the Heavenly Dao in the unseen realm. Those who commit too many killings are more likely to be killed by other powerful beings, and the Heavenly Tribulation is also stronger, almost equivalent to exorcising demons.
With these two swords, the Lord of the Styx could keep killing the righteous path. Over the years in the Underworld, he had indeed gained strength close to that of the Dao Ancestor, but he just couldn't take the final step.
"I finally understand, you are my inner demon. If I don't kill you, I will never be able to attain enlightenment. Killing more people will be useless. So, you must die!" The Styx Lord was like a madman. He no longer used the twelfth-grade blood lotus for protection, but used it for attack, just like his twin swords.
"Let's see who dies in the end!" the Immortal Emperor cursed inwardly. "The Styx Cult Master must have received help from that guy. He's nearby. What are you waiting for! If you wait any longer, I'll really die here. Aren't you supposed to live and die with me?"
"Immortal Emperor, please calm down. The Blood Sea of the Underworld is not suitable for immortals to fight. If you can't win, run away first. We'll talk about it after we get out of this Blood Sea." The Immortal Emperor System was also helpless. The items that sealed him off from the plane had been exhausted. It was already good enough that he had survived until now. The system was not omnipotent.
"Fine!" The Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth. At this moment, he didn't care about saving face anymore; he had no choice but to run.
If he still had those magical treasures, he wouldn't be in such a passive position. It's a pity they were all destroyed in the previous battle with Xiang Yu. How hateful!
