Chapter 1224: Emperor-ranked Battle

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stood beside the ancient tree, as the light from it shone on his body, wanting to fuse with him.

This ancient tree was the supreme treasure of the Evergreen Immortal Empire and only each generation of Evergreen Immortal Emperor, would be able to activate it. One must fuse together with it, allowing one to unleash terrifying strength.

Although the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was still one step away from being a peak-level immortal emperor, with the aid of this treasure, the combat prowess he can unleash would be even more terrifying compared to peak-level emperors.

This ancient tree has gained sentience, it was a spirit body as well as an emperor-ranked immortal weapon.

Its purpose was to protect the empire, for all eternity, the Eternal Evergreen Tree.

Those years back then during the internal warfare, the open position of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor caused brother to turn against brother. Whoever managed to obtain the position meant that he would be able to control the Eternal Evergreen Tree, becoming the strongest expert of the empire, and could stand at the peak of the immortal realms. Who would not fight for such a position?

"Who wants to fight?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly asked. In the imperial city, he was the master.

"Evergreen, stop being recalcitrant. You actually summoned the Eternal Evergreen Tree out instead of complying with the adjudication? Do you think we came here with no preparations?" The Skymist Immortal Empire replied. Although the Eternal Evergreen Tree boosted the Evergreen Immortal Emperor’s strength by a large margin, how could these people not have any trump cards up their hands since they already decided to come here?

"Paragon Sword Emperor, it’s said that your sword force is indomitable, able to destroy everything. Why don’t you try your moves out on this ancient tree? I want to see if this tree is truly as eternal as the legends have said." The Skymist Immortal Emperor spoke to the Paragon Sword Emperor.

The Paragon Sword Emperor nodded his head. His eyes gleamed with sharpness as an incomparably heavy sword intent suddenly descended from heaven.

He then stepped out and with a wave of his hand, a Paragon Sword that absorbed the energy of the sun, the moon and the stars appeared. At the moment the sword appeared, everyone in the vicinity felt their eyes being forcibly closed. No one could withstand that burst of sharpness that radiated from it at the moment. This Paragon Sword was a sword for paragons, how could common people even lay their gazes on it? This was a sword for kings.

From the air, boundless astral light cascaded down on the Paragon Sword Emperor and the paragon sword. He formed a resonance with the heavens, as he stored up power for his strike.

The Eternal Evergreen Tree continued expanding, enveloping the entire imperial city completely.

For emperor-ranked battles, if both parties didn’t control their strength, a scene of apocalypse would easily appear. An entire city could be razed to level ground from the shockwaves of their battles. This place was the imperial city of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally had to do his best to protect the people living within.

Qin Wentian, Qing`er and the others were protected by the light radiating from the Eternal Evergreen Tree. For this battle, only immortal emperors had the qualification to take part in it.

"Cultivation, as one heads further up the path, the more they can borrow the strength of the heavens to unleash apocalyptic might." Qin Wentian stared in the air. From the start of his cultivation until now, his progress undoubtedly proved this point. When you first started cultivation, the destructive might you could unleash wouldn’t be that great. But for experts at the peak, the destructiveness of their might was unimaginable.

Back then, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor once reminded himself that he, Qin Wentian, was still alive because the Violet Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor couldn’t discard their pride and go all out to deal with him. If not, he would already be dead.

For this point, Qin Wentian didn’t doubt it at all. If an immortal emperor wanted the death of an immortal-foundation character. It was truly be too simple.

Naturally, if the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor killed him directly, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord could also lay waste to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This was the restriction that restricted both parties.

As for the Violet Emperor, Zi Daoyang was clearly killed by Mo Xie. Nobody knew he was the one who killed Zi Yunwu. Hence, the killing intent the Violet Emperor had towards him was still not as strong yet.

If one day when both the Eastern Sage and Violet Emperor discovered that he presents a threat to them, they wouldn’t hesitate to directly finish him off. As he thought of this, Qin Wentian’s thirst of strength grew even stronger.

In the air, the hands of the Paragon Sword Emperor folded incantations gestures as boundless astral light cascaded onto him. A moment later, the runes congregated on his Paragon Sword as the sword actually fanned out, creating several copies, each shimmering with the radiance of stars. From this, one could tell how terrifying it was just by looking at it.

"KILL!" The Paragon Sword Emperor waved his hand. That Paragon Sword was like the sovereign of swords, creating a tidal wave of sword intent that blasted into the ancient tree like meteors from the heavens.

This scene, could only be described with the word ’apocalyptic.’

The other immortal emperors were all covered with protective light, but they didn’t react too intensely. After all, the target of the Paragon Sword Emperor wasn’t them and was the Eternal Evergreen Tree instead.

"Swish~" The gigantic tree finally moved. The growth of its branches were even more ferocious than the Paragon Swords. Numerous branches twined together, smacking away those Paragon Swords as a powerful law energy erupted forth from the tree.

Boundless explosions occurred in the air as the branches and swords clashed against each other repeatedly. Under the might of the swords, everything under the heavens could be destroyed. When the tree branches swiped past and was slashed apart, they regenerated again and again, causing chaotic currents of the aftershocks from the clashes to ravage the surroundings.

"GO!" The Paragon Sword Emperor waved his hand, his emperor-ranked weapon, the Paragon Sword started to float up as it trembled. Boundless astral light congregated on it as a rain of swords fell from the sky, akin to shooting stars that radiated an aura of extreme sharpness.

Under this rain of swords, the buildings around were instantly demolished to level ground.

"Bzz, bzz, bzz~" The rain storm intensified as the speed of the swords falling down grew even faster. It was so fast to the extent where by the swords have already slashed out, but the sound of the slashing only came by later.

At this moment above the gigantic tree, a resplendent light shot out as boundless tree branches intersected as they shot upwards, attempting to disperse the clouds. Despite the branches being destroyed again and again, the rate of regeneration never slowed. And after sometime, the rain of swords was finally stopped.

The Paragon Sword Emperor stepped out, appearing in the air. Numerous ancient characters representing ’Sword’ circulated around him before being branded on the Paragon Sword. With a thunderous boom, the sword slashed out, having enough power to tear the sky asunder.

"BOOM!" The Paragon Sword was driven into the trunk of the Eternal Evergreen Tree, wanting to slash it apart. It brought with it boundless sword might, and as it slashed down, it had the power to destroy everything.

The green light radiating from the tree grew even more intense. It had already covered the entire imperial city. An obstructive force that was generated from the root of life of the tree, began to fight back against the sword might as cycles of destruction and rebirth continued endlessly, one after the other.

The gazes of the crowd were all fixed on the two warring emperors. The Paragon Sword Sect had his eyes closed, controlling the Paragon Sword while he exuded a supreme sword might.

However, the Eternal Evergreen Tree was simply too powerful, akin to an undying immortal body. The regeneration rate even exceeded the rate of destruction. And right now, the vines produced from the tree all started to close in together, wanting to trap the Paragon Sword within.

"The Eternal Evergreen Tree, it does truly live up to its name." Everyone felt their hearts shaking. If the attacker couldn’t find the weak point of the eternal ancient tree, even with an emperor-ranked weapon, they would still have no way to destroy that tree. This was an undying tree, the Eternal Evergreen Tree.

When the Paragon Sword was about to be swallowed whole, the Paragon Sword Emperor furrowed his brows and a burst of energy from the Paragon Sword erupted out as it shot out from the branches, returning to its original position.

"Swish~"

The moment the Paragon Sword returned, numerous vines already landed. A boundless green-colored light emitted from them, transforming into towering green branches that converged together before slamming into the Paragon Sword Emperor.

At this instant, the Paragon Sword Emperor’s countenance changed. His body directly disappeared from its original spot, as he was flung far away from the impact. The power of the tree’s attack earlier now left a gaping black-colored hole in space, causing the hearts of all to tremble when they saw it.

The Paragon Sword Emperor trembled from the shame. He appeared once more in the surrounding space after taking a step forward, and stood in the sky, coldly staring down at everything.

Clearly, he was the weaker one in this exchange of blows. There was no way for him to deal with the ancient gigantic tree at all.

At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from the Skymist Immortal Emperor. The divine elephant mount underneath him, suddenly turned a golden color as numerous constellations appeared behind him, as though they were summoned. Even the divine elephant mount radiated an extremely fearsome aura.

Under the feet of the Taihua Immortal Emperor, an emperor diagram appeared. This was also a terrifying emperor-ranked weapon and within the diagram, countless war chariots could be seen, each radiating with a terrifying destructive aura. From the diagram, sounds of millions of iron hooves stomping the ground could be heard as well, akin to millions of warriors waiting inside it to erupt forth.

"Emperor-ranked battle?" Qin Wentian stared at the immortal emperors in the air. Such a scene was something he hasn’t expected.

Within the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, another burst of light shot out. Nanfeng Guhong as well as other experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan appeared, soaring through the air. There were a total of three immortal emperors from the Southern Phoenix Clan that directly soared through the light screen radiated by the ancient tree. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally wouldn’t block them.

"The Southern Phoenix Clan wishes to participate in this as well?" The Skymist Immortal Empire frowned.

"In the sacred academy, Qin Wentian, the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, as well as the Holy Successor of our Southern Phoenix Clan have already formed an alliance together to deal with the White Tiger Race and the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. Now that we are here, all of you guys can just return to where you came from." Nanfeng Guhong spoke in cold arrogance.

"What bold words." The White Tiger Demon Emperor radiated a terrifying balefulness.

"Our Southern Phoenix Clan has already established a teleportation array here. It wouldn’t be too difficult if we wanted to make you, this vile beast, remain here forever. Do you want to try fighting us?" Nanfeng Guhong glanced over, staring at the White Tiger Demon Emperor!
