Chapter 3341: The Three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors from the Heavenly Palace of the Boundless Heaven
‘We were delayed for so long that You Feng Yu’s reinforcements have arrived…’
The arrival of the Soaring Celestial Emperor, a subordinate of the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven, made Duan Ling Tian realize that the golden time for him to escape had pa.s.sed. His expression was grim as he looked at the Soaring Celestial Emperor. All of a sudden, he was stunned when a figure flashed in front of him, s.h.i.+elding him and confronting the Soaring Celestial Emperor.
“E-eldest Senior Sister?” Duan Ling Tian was momentarily confused. How did Xu Ya Si appear in front of him when she was still battling Lei Ying? However, he got his answer soon enough.
Bang!
A thunderous noise rang from behind him before a grunt followed suit. Xu Ya Si’s doppelganger had struck Lei Ying and sent Lei Ying, the Merciless Celestial Emperor, flying back.
The lightning flas.h.i.+ng around Lei Ying’s body disappeared immediately as she spat out a mouthful of blood; she had been heavily injured by Xu Ya Si. Hints of fear could be seen in her eyes as her expression changed drastically. “You hid your true strength?”
One could see how strong Xu Ya Si was based on the fact her doppelganger alone was enough to injure Lei Ying. One could only imagine how much stronger she would be if she had attacked along with her doppelganger.
“Run,” Xu Ya Si said coldly to Duan Ling Tian.
“Run?” The Soaring Celestial Emperor smiled contemptuously when he heard Xu Ya Si’s words. As soon as he finished speaking, the wind began to stir violently, and the sound of wind howling rang in the air.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
In just a blink of an eye, two people appeared next to the Soaring Celestial Emperor. One of them was a muscular middle-aged man who was shrouded in flames while the other person was a skinny old woman dressed in a black robe who was holding onto a staff. Apart from her lifeless eyes, the old woman looked ordinary. On the other hand, it was obvious that the middle-aged man had comprehended the law of fire.
Xu Ya Si’s eyes narrowed immediately when she saw the newcomers. “The Explosive Flame Celestial Emperor and the Water Staff Celestial Emperor!”
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, Lei Ying moved next to the three newcomers. She glared at Xu Ya Si and said, “Xu Ya Si, enough is enough. Do you think you can fight four of us alone?”
The three newcomers were subordinates of the Heavenly Emperor of the Boundless Heaven, and their strength was at the very least on par with Lei Ying’s strength.
“Xu Ya Si? The top prodigy in the Heavenly Pool Palace who’s only slightly above 1,000 years old but has strength comparable to a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor?” The Explosive Flame Celestial Emperor said in a booming voice with a smile on his face, “If three of us join forces, even the Palace Master of the Heavenly Pool Palace isn’t a match for us, let alone someone like you.”
“I didn’t expect the Palace Master would seek help from three of you,” Xu Ya Si said solemnly as her eyes flashed. Earlier, she was relaxed when she faced the Soaring Celestial Emperor. It was clear she was not afraid even if the Soaring Celestial Emperor and Lei Ying joined forces. Similarly, although her expression had grown solemn with the arrival of another two t.i.tled Celestial Emperors, she still maintained her calm.
“Alright. All three of you have a reputation for being powerful, I’d like to see your true strength today,” Xu Ya Si said. As soon as she finished speaking, her doppelganger entered her body, and a deadly energy appeared around her immediately. It was clear she intended to fight the three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors alone.
“Little girl, you’re too presumptuous!” The Water Staff Celestial Emperor’s expressionless face darkened upon hearing Xu Ya Si’s words. In just an instant, a blue energy surged out of her body. Based on this, it was clear she had comprehended the law of water.
Similarly, the Soaring Celestial Emperor and the Explosive Flame Celestial Emperor were enraged by Xu Ya Si’s words. They did not hesitate and made a move immediately.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Scorching flames burned violently as the Explosive Flame Celestial Emperor charged toward Xu Ya Si with a long spear in his hand, looking like a fiery G.o.d of war.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
When the Water Staff Celestial Emperor brandished her staff, waves after waves of water swept toward Xu Ya Si immediately.
The three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors launched their attacks at Xu Ya Si at the same time.
Swoos.h.!.+
Xu Ya Si soared high into the sky, avoiding the attacks. However, the attacks seemed to have eyes of their own as they followed closely behind her.
Swoos.h.!.+
At this moment, Xu Ya Si’s Undead Doppelganger suddenly shot out of her body, seemingly to lure the attacks away, as she vanished out of sight. When she reappeared again, she charged toward the Soaring Celestial Emperor.
The Soaring Celestial Emperor’s expression turned grim as he saw Xu Ya Si charging toward him. He cast the Restraining Profundity from the law of s.p.a.ce to stop her from advancing.
“Break!” A three-foot-long saber that shone with a black light suddenly appeared in Xu Ya Si’s hand before she used it to break the Soaring Celestial Emperor’s Restraining Profundity.
‘That’s…’ Duan Ling Tian was stunned when she saw the hilt of the saber that seemed to have wrapped itself around Xu Ya Si’s hand like a black python. ‘An artifact spirit?’
Duan Ling Tian used to possess the Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, the Seven Treasures Exquisite PaG.o.da, that possessed an artifact spirit so he could tell that there was an artifact spirit in the hilt of Xu Ya Si’s saber. With this, Xu Ya Si’s Emperor Grade Celestial Emperor was almost comparable to a Devata artifact.
“Why are you still here? Go!” Xu Ya Si’s voice rang in Duan Ling Tian’s ears at this moment, urging him to leave.
“Eldest Senior Sister…” Duan Ling Tian felt uncomfortable in his heart as he watched the seemingly frail and delicate woman battling three t.i.tled Celestial Emperors alone. Although she was very bold, it was clear to him as time pa.s.sed that she was no match for the trio.
Just as Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu prepared to leave, a voice rang in the air. “Trying to run?”
Soon enough, Lei Ying appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian and Lian Qiu, blocking their path.
“Senior Lian Qiu, she’s injured so let’s join forces to defeat her!” Duan Ling Tian hurriedly said as he cast G.o.dly Image Phenomenon of the Pine Willow Divine Tree. In just a second, its branches snaked their way toward Lei Ying at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, Lian Qiu attacked as soon as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking. Countless energy swords appeared around him before they fell on Lei Ying like torrential rain.
As the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s branches snaked toward Lei Ying, Duan Ling Tian boosted his attack with the power of the Five Divine Elements.
“Resistance is futile!” Lei Ying sneered. Bolts of lightning appeared around her body again, obliterating Lian Qiu’s energy swords.
“Senior Lian Qiu, keep going, don’t stop!” Duan Ling Tian urged Lian Qiu.
With these words, Lian Qiu realized Duan Ling Tian was trying to exhaust Lei Ying’s energy. He did not waste time and summoned tens of thousands of energy swords again before launching them at Lei Ying.
Alas, the energy swords were easily destroyed by Lei Ying before they could even land on her. She said disdainfully, “Although I’m injured, I’m still a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor. How can a mere Sword Celestial like you threaten me?”
However, as soon as Lei Ying finished speaking, her expression changed dramatically as though she had noticed something was amiss.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Earlier, after Lei Ying deflected Duan Ling Tian’s attack, she no longer paid attention to him. After all, his Ning Dragons were still engaged in a battle with Gu Chang Jiang, the Martial Dragon Celestial Emperor. However, when the branches from the Pine Willow Divine Tree shot toward her this time, she could acutely sense the threat from them. Unlike earlier, the strength of this attack was comparable to that of a t.i.tled Celestial Emperor.
“How’s this possible?” Lei Ying, who was unaware that the attack had been boosted with the power of the Five Divine Elements, exclaimed in shock.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions rang in the air as the Pine Willow Divine Tree’s branches collided with the lightning that Lei Ying hastily mobilized.
After the collision, Lei Ying was sent flying back as she spat out a mouthful of blood again. With this, her injuries grew worse. Needless to say, her strength had weakened tremendously with this blow.
