Chapter 1631: Eternal Immortal Emperors
At first, the scene in the crystal ball had been a little blurry.
Wu Yu and the others could only see many eternal demon emperors fighting a heated battle with shadowy figures. It was not known who these shadowy figures were.
Since he could not see clearly, Wu Yu dismissed that.
Instead, he focused on the eternal demon emperors. One of them, Wu Yu had seen before.
The Apocalyptic Chaos Demon from before, with his nine heads, roaring and snarling in the heat of battle. His tremendous power shattered even the void. This was Wu Yu"s first time seeing a being of eternal demon emperor level fight with full force. The shockwaves from the battle alone would kill Wu Yu if he was caught in it.
But even someone as strong as the Apocalyptic Chaos Demon was attacked from multiple directions. An even stronger force ripped him apart, and he was forced to flee far away to a remote area.
But another blast of energy bombed his new location to pieces.
And thus the nine heads of Apocalyptic Chaos Demon were left floating in s.p.a.ce, his life force bleeding out. One tiny sliver of his soul fled, and he saw Jiu Ying briefly.
That was a matter that came after.
In the crystal ball, Wu Yu could only see the Apocalyptic Chaos Demon"s body blasted apart, and the heads hidden. The attention was switched to another fight.
Black Sea Grand Emperor, the tentacle that Wu Yu had gotten in the black sea before. He was now a terrifying giant octopus, his tentacles waving and whirling in perfect ch.o.r.eography, funneling the energy around him.
But in the end, he too succ.u.mbed to an overwhelming flurry of attacks. Two bizarrely different forces smashed him between them.
This was a battle all across the Demon Immortal Realm, and none of the eternal demon emperors could stand by and watch.
The demon immortals who had not reached eternal demon emperor level littered the ground, all dead or injured. The entire Demon Immortal Realm was a gory sight.
These lesser demon immortals had been cannon fodder, dead without purpose or effect. The survivors could only wail and flee. Sights of families being torn apart flashed by. The Demon Immortal Realm was truly h.e.l.l.
Within the crystal ball, Wu Yu also saw the Dark Phoenix Grand Emperor, wreathed in black flames. A few bolts of golden light pierced the eternal demon emperor, who fell from the skies, limp and smoking.
Weathered Stone Emperor, an immovable and coa.r.s.e stone pillar. He constantly sent a hailstorm of rocks that swirled around his body. As they hurtled through the air, they sent ripples through the void itself. These attacks were sublime.
Wu Yu felt that even if he sent forth his 1 million doppelgangers, these rippling attacks from the Weathered Stone Emperor would destroy them all in a flash.
Scenic Grand Emperor, a painting come to life. Mountains and rivers were called forth from his body, all of them devastating forces of nature that swept forth. But finally a gourd from the sky crashed down on his body. He crumpled, badly wounded.
The gourd seemed to be imbued with immortal qi, and its aura seemed familiar to Wu Yu.
Wu Jun was even more familiar. His eyes widened. "Isn"t that... the Dark Lightning Gourd?"
As the Dark Lightning Gourd appeared, the shadowy figures fighting the eternal demon emperors clarified.
"Those are... eternal immortal emperors from the sky palaces!"
Wu Yu, Wu Jun, Full Moon of Nanshan, Ye Xixi, and all of the others stared at the crystal ball, aghast.
Because the invaders currently laying brutal waste to the Demon Immortal Realm were none other than the eternal immortal emperors themselves!
For example, the wielder of the Dark Lightning Gourd, who had just smashed Scenic Grand Emperor mercilessly - that belonged to one of the foremost people in the sky palaces, the Heavenly Queen Mother, also known as the Queen Mother of the West. Her full name was Golden Mother of Tortoise Mountain, She of the Nine Ninuma. The gourd she wielded held the lightning of the heavens itself, and was a fearsome epochal immortal treasure.
Although the shadowy figures still remained out of focus, but they could be identified.
Especially Wu Jun, who had spent a long time in the sky palaces. He had more or less seen these figures before.
Not far from the Queen Mother of the West was another kingly eternal immortal emperor of the highest power. He was the Jade Emperor himself. He did not take part in the fight much, but each time he struck, an eternal demon emperor fell.
When he attacked, the Jade Emperor"s eyes were cold and merciless, filled with killing intent that made one tremble. How could it be? The sky palaces" eternal immortal emperors had come to wipe out the demon immortals?
One shadow Wu Yu himself recognized. The Eastern Sublime Gracious Divine Emperor, who ruled over Sublime Gracious Sky of the 8,000 Sky Palaces. He was the immortal who had opened the Great Void Immortal Path, and he was also in this battle. His seemingly invulnerable immortal body was radiating immortal qi as he smashed his way through several eternal demon emperors.
Even more striking in the battle were three extremely famous immortal emperors of extreme power. Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning, Heavenly Lord of Spiritual Treasures, and the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.
These three were known as the "The Creation, Three Pure Ones and Rulers of the Three Realms". They were a cornerstone of the sky palaces itself. Wu Yu had not recognized them at first, but very readily realized it when Wu Jun pointed out their attributes.
Wu Jun himself was rocked with disbelief. These immortal emperors were the very foundations of the sky palaces. It was near impossible to even see them usually. They only appeared once in a blue moon.
And now all of them were gathered here to destroy the Demon Immortal Realm?
He was mortified. What a sin it was to kill so much life, to end an entire realm! It was hard to imagine that it was the immortals of the sky palaces who had done such a deed.
This also made Wu Jun doubt the truth of the crystal ball"s tale. He felt that it might be a lie.
Wu Yu too was shaken, watching speechlessly.
The battle continued. The eternal demon emperors fell one by one, and the sky palaces" immortals continued to appear one after another. The Great Emperor of Middle Heaven North Star and the Old Man of the South Pole. Wu Jun pointed them out to Wu Yu immediately.
He had spent a much longer time in the sky palaces compared to Wu Yu, and had either seen or heard much of them since young.
The Green Emperor of the Eastern Expanse, also known as the Taiyi Sage of Benevolence. The Emperor of the Western Expanse. These two among many others executed the eternal demon emperors in wanton slaughter.
Especially the Emperor of the Western Expanse. He was also known as Emperor Gochen of the Higher Palaces, and commanded the Five G.o.ds of War, who loved battle more than anything. They rampaged through the battlefield, cleaving through the demon immortals!
Wu Jun introduced each of the Five G.o.ds of War. They were the WarG.o.d of the Sky, WarG.o.d of the Earth, WarG.o.d of the People, WarG.o.d of the North, and WarG.o.d of the South. All of them were very famous and incredibly powerful immortal emperors.
He saw the Five G.o.ds of War surround a horse eternal immortal emperor, and then quarter him, ripping him to bits. The golden blood sprayed the air, showering down all over the Demon Immortal Realm in a gory rain.
Such brutal images were hard to believe. Could the immortals of the sky palaces have really done such heinous things?
Besides the three Pure Ones, there were also the Four Heavenly Ministers, which were the Great Emperor of Middle Heaven North Star, Old Man of the South Pole, Emperor Gochen of the Higher Palaces, and Imperial G.o.d of Earth.
More. There was Dong Hua Great Emperor Lord, Northern Mysterious Spiritual Dipper Empress, and Central Ecliptic Great Yellow Horn Immortal of the Ten Continents and Three Islands.
"There"s something not right about this!"
The more Wu Jun gazed into the crystal ball, the more fervently he shook his head in denial. "Ordinarily, the difference in power between the Demon Immortal Realm and the sky palaces should not be so big. Although the sky palaces are strong, but the Demon Immortal Realm is not weak either. The eternal demon emperors together should not be so badly trumped."
"Are you saying that it"s fiction? The sky palaces" people did not do it?" Ye Xixi was confused. If these images were fake, then what was the purpose of this crystal ball?
"Look over there!" Full Moon of Nanshan shouted, pointing at another side of the crystal ball.
Everyone looked, and saw a hair-raising scene.
No wonder the Demon Immortal Realm was losing so badly. On the other side, they saw another ghastly war.
The ghostly black mists parted, and darkness swept over the lands of the Demon Immortal Realm. From their murky depths, eternal devil emperors thundered forth. They came with their armies of ghostly immortals. h.e.l.l was here!
