CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 307: BATTLE FOR THE EMPEROR’S LIFE_1

BANG!

After a moment of deadlock, Huo Qubing and the Fire Kirin Emperor both retreated, each step causing a massive pit in the Void.

The Emperor’s Law of Fire!

The Emperor’s Law of Spear!

The Power of Laws belonging to Emperors turned the sky into a sea of fire and a realm of spears, creating an overwhelming pressure that descended from the heavens, leaving everyone breathless. When Emperors fight, they cause a massive upheaval. All Semi-Emperor martial artists in the East Border turned their eyes towards the Sea Domain; some marveled, some were contemptuous, and others were expectant.

"If the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court wins this battle, it will become renowned throughout the world!"

「Within the Purple Cloud Sect」

On a beautiful, scenic mountain, Shu Qingyun faced east, his hands clasped behind his back, his deep eyes penetrating the endless Void. Compared to two years ago, he looked much more weary, a constant fatigue showing at the corners of his eyes. The pressure from the Kylin Sacred Land is simply too great!

"It is unimaginable that the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court could grow so powerful in just a few years!"

「Within the magnificent throne hall of the Ancient Court」

The Dominant Blade Divine Emperor was overwhelmed with emotion. His eyes shone with excitement and intense expectation; he desperately wanted the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court to defeat the Kylin Sacred Land. Before the ’Eastern Border Grand Ceremony,’ he had been a loyal supporter of the Kylin Sacred Land, but now, he hated it to the bone.

"Fight! It would be best if both sides suffer grievous losses!"

「In the freezing lands, the domain of the Bear Tribe」

Bear Rugged sat on the Ice Throne and let out a chilling laugh.

「...」

"Who are you?" the Fire Kirin Emperor asked with a hostile expression, having retreated a thousand zhang.

Another Emperor-realm martial artist he had never seen or heard of before, and so young too! It made him burn with envy.

"Huo Qubing of the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court!" Huo Qubing declared loudly, gripping his battle spear.

"HUMPH! Since you won’t speak truthfully, don’t blame me for being impolite!" the Fire Kirin Emperor roared, clearly not believing what Huo Qubing had said. His Spiritual Energy surged, and a thousand-zhang Kirin phantom, wreathed in flames, appeared behind him. It generated such intense heat that it turned the Void into Voidness. Within a radius of several hundred li, the temperature rose dramatically; lakes on the ground evaporated, their water levels dropping visibly.

BOOM!

The Fire Kirin Emperor clenched his fists. Endless firelight gathered, producing a dazzling radiance that smashed towards Huo Qubing. Two fierce streams of fist aura seemed as if they would pierce through the boundless Void.

"Sweeping Through a Thousand Armies!" Huo Qubing roared. A scarlet blood light erupted from his body, and his battle spear also turned scarlet, radiating an incredibly terrifying killing aura that threatened to annihilate everything. A spear aura shot across the sky, carrying a power that could dominate all ages, and collided with the two streams of fist aura.

RUMBLE!

The sound of thunder shook the heavens, causing many Martial Artists to become temporarily deaf. The fist imprint, which in the eyes of ordinary people seemed capable of destroying mountains and shattering the earth, developed countless cracks the moment it touched the spear aura. It held on for only two breaths before disintegrating. The spear aura, like a dragon, charged once again at the Fire Kirin Emperor.

So strong!

The Fire Kirin Emperor was slightly startled. He retrieved a shield from his personal storage space and placed it before him as flames surged around it. This was a defensive Holy Weapon capable of resisting attacks from Emperors of the same realm. With this shield, he had defeated many powerful Emperor-realm opponents. He was confident that unless he encountered the ancient Great Emperors, no one could break through his defense!

CLANG!

The spear aura struck the shield, producing a piercing sound. Countless sparks burst forth, scattering across the sky like brilliant fireworks—a spectacular sight.

"HAHA! You cannot break my defense!" the Fire Kirin Emperor laughed heartily from behind the shield.

"Is that so?!" Huo Qubing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He condensed another spear aura, its boundless sharpness revealed, like a sky-shattering spear that could annihilate all things. The supreme Spear Intent swept across the Nine Heavens!

"Block it!" the Fire Kirin Emperor roared inwardly. The terrifying Power of the Law of Fire circulated, enveloping the shield and forming a roaring Fire Kylin that manifested before him, attempting to block the incoming battle spear.

"Break!" Huo Qubing roared, his black hair whipping about wildly. His eyes were sharp, exuding the vibrant spirit of youth as he controlled the spear aura and thrust fiercely forward.

The Fire Kylin roared, opened its massive maw, and lunged to bite the spear aura. However, the instant it made contact, the spear aura pierced through its body, causing it to explode with a deafening BOOM and transform into a sky-spanning sea of fire.

Immediately after, the spear aura parted the sea of fire and struck the shield.

CRACK!

This shield, which had accompanied the Fire Kirin Emperor for most of his life and withstood countless powerful attacks, instantaneously shattered into pieces.

"Not good!" The Fire Kirin Emperor’s face turned pale with shock. Before he could dodge, the spear aura pierced his body. Strands of light golden blood spurted out, falling to the ground.

An Emperor’s blood, heavy as a mountain! Every drop of blood from an Emperor-realm martial artist weighed tens of thousands of pounds (Wanjun), smashing deep pits into the earth where it fell.

"Die!" Huo Qubing pressed his advantage, stepping through the Void and leaving a series of afterimages. An icy killing aura emanated from him, so potent it seemed to shroud the heavens, making people afraid to look directly at him.

He was going to strike ruthlessly and kill a Great Emperor martial artist!

"Damn it!"

「At the Kylin Sacred Land」

The Kylin Great Emperor, who had been closely watching the battle, hurriedly tore through the Void and sped towards the Sea Domain.

He had to save the Fire Kirin Emperor; otherwise, the Sacred Land’s losses would be too great! Nurturing an Emperor-realm martial artist is incredibly difficult. Often, only one or two might appear in an entire era, sometimes none at all. For instance, during the Seventh Era, the Kylin Sacred Land had no prodigies break through to the Emperor realm. It ranked last among the various Sacred Lands and was ridiculed for an entire era. It wasn’t until the Eighth Era, when he and the Fire Kirin Emperor successfully broke through to the Emperor realm, that the Kylin Sacred Land’s reputation was restored.

"Faster! Faster!" the Kylin Great Emperor roared incessantly, not hesitating to burn his Emperor Origin to traverse the Void. However, he was too far from the Sea Domain; even an Emperor-realm martial artist could not arrive there in a single thought.

「Above Furious Sea City」

The hairs on the Fire Kirin Emperor’s body stood on end. He felt the aura of death enveloping him and exclaimed in shock, "You want to kill me?"

It was no wonder he had such an expression. Killing an Emperor-realm martial artist signified an all-out war. Unless it was a situation of irreconcilable enmity, one would rarely resort to a killing blow. For example, the last time Qin Wudao caused a huge commotion in the Kylin Sacred Land and snatched Shen Youlin’s opportunity, the Kylin Sacred Land did not wage an all-out war because no Emperor-realm powerhouses had fallen.

Huo Qubing did not respond, thrusting his spear out once more!

SPURT!

The Fire Kirin Emperor’s pupils constricted violently. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face etched with despair. He felt a powerful Spear Intent ravaging his insides, extinguishing all signs of life. He glared at Huo Qubing with venomous hatred and shrieked a curse, "Huo Qubing, you will not die a good death! The Sacred Land will avenge me!"

"And the Qin Dynasty’s Divine Court! By the time you return, it will likely have been annihilated!"

"The puppet you propped up has already been torn limb from limb..."

Hearing this, a trace of worry flickered in Huo Qubing’s eyes. He hurriedly asked, "You also sent people to attack the Qin Dynasty?"

"KEKEKE..." The Fire Kirin Emperor sneered, "Take a guess?"

POW!

With a grim expression, Huo Qubing forcefully withdrew his battle spear and shattered the Fire Kirin Emperor’s body, leaving only a golden bead suspended in the Void.
