Chapter 675: The Fall of the Emperor
"Xiao Ze, I'd like to see whether your celestial Dou Emperor form is superior, or if my blood energy Dou Emperor form reigns supreme!"
The towering figures of the two Dou Emperors moved, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Even Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, both peak Nine Star Dou Saints standing within the starlight barrier, felt their hearts tremble in fear. The sheer power emanating from the two combatants was overwhelming each movement was enough to annihilate them instantly.
Hun Tiandi made the first move, charging at Xiao Ze with devastating force. Yet Xiao Ze countered faster than Hun Tiandi could react, striking his chest with a crushing blow.
Boom!
A massive hole was blasted through the chest of Hun Tiandi's blood energy Dou Emperor form. The relentless celestial energy from Xiao Ze poured in, eroding the blood energy form further.
The force of their clash sent shockwaves tearing through the battlefield, leaving the terrain in complete ruin. This was the result of just one strike. Without the protection of the starlight barrier, the aftershocks alone would have laid waste to half of Zhongzhou.
Hun Tiandi looked down at the gaping hole in his chest, disbelief etched on his face. He could feel his blood energy form being corroded by Xiao Ze's celestial power, confirming the undeniable truth Xiao Ze's celestial Dou Emperor form far outclassed his own.
Though he was unwilling to accept it, Hun Tiandi had to face reality: Xiao Ze's Dou Emperor foundation, achieved through mysterious means, was far more stable and powerful than his own, which relied on the Emperor Pill embryo and the blood sacrifice of countless lives.
He recalled Void Devouring Flame's warnings Xiao Ze wielded the Emperor Flame and may have uncovered secrets from the Tuo She Ancient Emperor. It was no surprise that Xiao Ze's Dou Emperor form was more formidable.
Hun Tiandi clenched his teeth, realizing the gap between them. Surrender, however, was not an option.
As Xiao Ze closed in for another attack, Hun Tiandi made a desperate move. At the cost of his right arm, he managed to create distance between them.
The Zhongzhou Allied Forces erupted in cheers from within the barrier.
They had never witnessed a battle between Dou Emperors before, but the outcome of this clash was clear Xiao Ze had the upper hand, forcing Hun Tiandi to retreat.
"Your foundation is remarkably stable," Hun Tiandi said, trying to draw Xiao Ze's attention. "Without using my true trump card, I cannot face you head on."
Xiao Ze paused slightly, curious to see what Hun Tiandi had in store.
Hun Tiandi's massive form raised both arms though one was missing toward the sky. Behind him, the remnants of a damaged formation flickered with blood red light. Slowly, the energy coalesced into a ritual array, from which a translucent, blood colored blade began to emerge.
The blood from the vast pool nearby surged into the blade, solidifying it further.
"Even though your forces destroyed many of my soul devouring arrays, the foundation remains intact. I can still summon the Ghostblood Emperor Slaying Blade!" Hun Tiandi declared, a sinister smile spreading across his face.
Seeing the blood blade manifest, Hun Tiandi's confidence grew.
"This is a legacy from the first Dou Emperor of the Hun Clan a blade that has slain Dou Emperors before!" he shouted.
But Xiao Ze remained calm, his expression unchanging. While the blood blade emitted impressive power, Xiao Ze had yet to show the full extent of his abilities.
Frustrated by Xiao Ze's indifference, Hun Tiandi absorbed the remaining blood energy from the pool to repair his form. Gripping the blood blade tightly, he did something unexpected he plunged it into his own chest.
"Sacrifice!"
With the blade embedded in his heart, its power surged to unimaginable levels.
"Xiao Ze! Today, I will sacrifice myself to ensure your destruction!" Hun Tiandi roared.
Xiao Ze's voice remained steady. "Hun Tiandi, you seem to forget I've been fighting this entire battle without using my true power. I've relied solely on celestial energy."
Hun Tiandi's expression shifted at those words but didn't hesitate. He raised the empowered blood blade high and slashed at Xiao Ze with all his might.
"If this is your ultimate weapon," Xiao Ze said calmly, "then today will mark your fall."
Golden flames ignited in Xiao Ze's palm, their radiance spreading in all directions. In an instant, the battlefield was illuminated by an intense, golden light, as if the sun itself had descended.
These flames, the Origin Emperor Flame, carried the power of a Two Star Dou Emperor. The temperature across the battlefield skyrocketed, the heat so extreme that only the starlight barrier prevented Zhongzhou from being reduced to ashes.
Hun Tiandi's face twisted in shock. The heat alone was enough to strain his blood energy form to its limits.
"Emperor Flame: World Incineration!"
Xiao Ze thrust the flames forward, meeting the blood blade head on.
The moment the golden flames touched the blood blade, its blood red glow was burned away, reduced to nothingness. The Ghostblood Emperor Slaying Blade, touted as a weapon capable of killing Dou Emperors, disintegrated almost instantly under the fire's power.
"Impossible!" Hun Tiandi roared in despair as his ultimate weapon failed.
"Nothing is impossible," Xiao Ze replied, his tone icy. "Hun Tiandi, your time has come. You and your clan will fall today."
The Origin Emperor Flame surged forward, engulfing Hun Tiandi's blood energy form in an inferno.
The towering figure of Hun Tiandi, once tens of thousands of feet tall, was consumed by the golden flames. The sky lit up with fiery brilliance, a testament to the fall of a Dou Emperor.
Hun Tiandi had fallen.
