Yuan’s Ascension

Chapter 1093: The Invincible Devil Emperor Xia (2)

“Still so confident? Does he have some other trump card?” True Saint Yue Luo observed curiously from the sidelines.

He wasn’t particularly concerned with the outcome.

…

In the gloomy depths of the Sector River.

“Devil Emperor Xia, arrogance must be backed by strength,” Devil Emperor Jian Long’s voice was low. “Though your power is great, you have no right to be arrogant before us thirteen Devil Emperors.”

“Devil Emperor Xia, throughout the Abyss, many have claimed they would kill me, but none have succeeded,” Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s voice was deep and imposing, his expression stern.

He too was extremely displeased. As a fourth-stage Overlord powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Abyss, he was True Saint Yue Luo’s top general in the Abyss. In the past, which Abyssal Devil Emperor dared to look down on him? Yet Wu Yuan’s words were a clear taunt.

“Devil Emperor Xia, it’s time for you to die!” Devil Emperor Jin Qu roared, jumping into the fray. He grew to a million li tall, his rock-like skin erupting with countless flames. The endless scorching flames illuminated half the Sector River, a sight that would make any onlooker shiver.

“Nova Coil Punch! Great Destruction!” Devil Emperor Jin Qu finally unleashed his eternal ultimate technique.

Nine fists struck simultaneously. Each fist was like a star, yet trillions of times brighter and hotter than any sun, as if absorbing all light and heat in heaven and earth.

One punch was unleashed after another, producing a mystical resonance that seemed to break through some limit, reaching a brand new realm. The nine fists traversed heaven and earth like nine suns, their power reaching the absolute pinnacle. Layer upon layer of space began to collapse and crumble. Only the nine eternal fists remained.

“An eternal ultimate technique.”

“Nova Coil Punch, Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s strongest killing move.”

“We’re finally seeing it again. The last time we witnessed it, the ether body of that third-stage Overlord from Sector 9 perished.” The twelve Devil Emperors including Devil Emperor Jian Long watched from afar.

Such imposing might and power made their hearts tremble in awe. This was something they deeply yearned for.

An eternal ultimate technique? Wu Yuan’s eyes burned with intensity.

This was precisely the level he now pursued.

In this moment, Wu Yuan’s heart swelled with passion. He had progressed through countless battles over long years, fighting Astral Monarchs, battling Sovereigns, and now he could calmly face even those who stood at the very pinnacle of the Abyss and universes.

Rumble! Though it seemed slow in the telling, it all happened in an instant.

Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s fist silhouettes converged, transforming into a fiery rainbow carrying endless destructive energy as it smashed down.

“Excellent. Come, my sabers!” Wu Yuan roared, springing into action once more. His form instantly expanded to several million li tall, unleashing numerous blade rays.

For the first time since entering the Abyss, Wu Yuan finally utilized a portion of his physical strength.

The path of matter and the path of Laws. Combining both eternal paths, he finally unleashed his greatest might.

At that moment, Wu Yuan’s sabers remained the same sabers, his technique seemingly unchanged. Yet the power of his blade rays surged, reaching an unimaginable level in the blink of an eye.

When the nine blade rays merged into one, they collided head-on with Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s attack!

This was a strike that surpassed heaven and earth. This was a grand collision between the absolute peak of sempiternal lifeforms.

Boom! Spacetime shattered, all beings wailed in anguish, and even the essence of the Abyss seemed to retreat in this moment.

Rumble~ The collision shockwaves swept out endless in all directions.

Wu Yuan remained standing in the void, but Devil Emperor Jin Qu was sent flying backwards for billions of li before he could dispel the impact force.

Silence fell.

All thirteen Devil Emperors fell utterly quiet. Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s eyes were filled with shock, and Devil Emperor Jian Long looked incredulous.

None of them had expected that in a head-on clash, Devil Emperor Xia’s saber technique would prove more powerful, completely suppressing Devil Emperor Jin Qu.

“Your artifacts, your sabers.” Devil Emperor Jin Qu suddenly growled, staring intently at Wu Yuan: “What level are your battle sabers? The legendary high-grade Xiantian artifacts?”

He was truly reluctant to accept it. In this direct confrontation, he could clearly sense that Wu Yuan’s saber technique wasn’t that profound and should have been inferior to his own. Yet its power was so terrifying.

To him, there was only one explanation – the difference in artifact levels. This was because Devil Emperor Jin Qu had never encountered a powerhouse who could cultivate both eternal paths.

“A high-grade Xiantian artifact?”

“A legendary ultimate treasure?” The dozen or so Abyssal Devil Emperors were all shocked. They struggled to obtain even a single mid-grade Xiantian artifact, let alone a high-grade one.

They had never even seen one. That’s why treasures of this level were called legendary.

“Very well.” Devil Emperor Jin Qu said in a low voice. “Devil Emperor Xia, regardless of how you obtained your strength, power is power. I admire you.

“Jian Long, don’t think of holding back. If we don’t join forces today, forget about killing him – we may even be picked off one by one.” Devil Emperor Jin Qu growled.

“Mm.” Devil Emperor Jian Long nodded slightly.

As Devil Emperors, they were all extremely proud, so they were initially reluctant to cooperate fully, wanting to test Wu Yuan’s mettle first.

This test had yielded results far beyond their expectations. If they weren’t careful, they risked not just losing face, but their lives.

“Join forces? Whether you join forces or not, today, you will all die!” Wu Yuan suddenly sprang into action.

He strode forward with astonishing speed, even under the spacetime constraints.

This sight caused these Devil Emperors’ expressions to shift.

“Everyone, follow the previous plan. Employ spacetime binding techniques to fully restrain Devil Emperor Xia,” Devil Emperor Jian Long transmitted urgently.

“Understood.”

“We’ll give it our all.”

“Bind Devil Emperor Xia.” The other eight qi refining Devil Emperors, aware of the urgency, immediately took action.

Boom! Whoosh! Whoosh! Streams of light shot forth, some Xiantian artifacts, some powerful arcane arts, swiftly merging together under Devil Emperor Jian Long’s guidance.

“Spacetime! Bind! Realm Unfolds in a Thought!” Devil Emperor Jian Long directed the various arcane arts and artifacts.

Instantly, the powerful spacetime domain surged in might once more. Waves of spacetime tides rolled forth to restrain Wu Yuan.

Unifying spacetime to bind me? Wu Yuan felt the heavy pressure of spacetime.

He had to admire Devil Emperor Jian Long’s mastery of Spacetime. Earlier, it unified their attacks. Now, however, he had integrated the arcane arts of many Devil Emperors into his domain with the sole aim of fully restraining him.

If I don’t unleash my physical power, I fear my strength will be suppressed to just slightly stronger than the peak third-stage Overlord level. Wu Yuan thought to himself.

Body refiner powerhouses possessed powerful individual strength. Qi refiner powerhouses, however, could combine their strengths perfectly with some truly breathtaking techniques.

Unless I plan to hide in the array, it seems I’ll have to go all out. Wu Yuan mused.

He had only used part of his body’s power in the earlier saber strike that suppressed Devil Emperor Jin Qu, not all of it.

Rumble~ Under layer upon layer of spacetime suppression, Wu Yuan came to a stop, seemingly with some difficulty.

“Kill!”

“With us thirteen Devil Emperors joining forces, I refuse to believe we can’t kill him.” The three weaker body refiner Overlords shouted excitedly, their strength increasing significantly with the domain’s empowerment.

“Devil Emperor Xia. If you had hidden in the array from the start, it would have taken some effort to kill you,” Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s voice thundered. “But you chose to emerge of your own accord.

“You’re doomed.”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Devil Emperor Jin Qu, Devil Emperor Lan Hu, Devil Emperor Chen Zhen, and the other body refiner Overlords howled as they charged at Wu Yuan, their attacks eclipsing the sky.

Thirteen Devil Emperors joined forces, unleashing their full power.

At this moment, whether it was True Saint Yue Luo and Devil Emperor Qian Ze observing from Sector 10, or Yun Yi within the array, all knew that the moment that would decide victory or defeat was at hand.

Thirteen Devil Emperors? Wu Yuan stood in the void, gazing at the attacks blanketing the sky, and once again swung the sabers in his hand.

The vital ether in his body surged to its limit. His body’s musculoskeletal system, muscles, blood… the strength of all parts of his body erupted simultaneously.

Whoosh! The blade rays shot skyward, and in the boundless void, each strand of blade ray carved out a vast world, a vast heaven and earth.

“What? This saber technique?” Devil Emperor Jian Long’s pupils constricted.

“This blade ray?” Devil Emperor Jin Qu was the first to face it, and the first to sense how special and extraordinary each strand of blade ray was. Unease welled up in his heart.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! When nine blade rays merged as one, space seemed to disintegrate where the blade ray passed, plunging the area into total darkness.

This strike had faintly transcended the bounds of heaven and earth, stepping into another spacetime dimension.

Rip! As the blade ray swept past, Devil Emperor Jin Qu was once again sent flying backward. And merely the aftershocks of the clash sent Devil Emperor Lan Hu, Devil Emperor Chen Zhen and the other body refiner Overlords hurtling backwards, their vital auras rapidly diminishing.

“This?”

“I was severely wounded by mere aftershocks?” Devil Emperor Lan Hu, Devil Emperor Chen Zhen, and the others were utterly shaken.

Whoosh! The shockwave was enough to make the entire spacetime domain quake and churn, showing signs of instability.

Though far away, those qi refiner Devil Emperors were faintly connected to the array, and immediately suffered no small impact, the vital qi in their bodies roiling.

Clearly, the power of this saber strike had faintly exceeded the limits of what the domain could withstand. As long as an attack was strong enough, it could break the array’s suppressive effects; there were no absolutely invincible techniques in this world.

“This?”

“Devil Emperor Xia?”

“Thirteen of us Devil Emperors joined forces, yet we’re actually at a disadvantage?” Devil Emperor Jian Long and the others shuddered inwardly.

How could he be this strong? This disparity in strength involuntarily gave rise to fear.

“One saber strike still couldn’t cleave through?” Wu Yuan’s eyes burned with intensity as he smiled. “Then have another. Die!”

Whoosh! Nine powerful arms swung, unleashing blade rays that blanketed the sky and engulfed the entire Sector River. They cleaved silently towards each Devil Emperor.

“Flee, quick!” Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s furious shout rang out, echoing through the boundless void: “Devil Emperor Xia is a peak fourth-stage Overlord! Peak fourth-stage Overlord!”

Peak fourth-stage Overlord! These words instantly caused all Devil Emperors to sober up, dread welling in their hearts.

Though there were over twenty fourth-stage Overlord powerhouses throughout the Abyss, only two Devil Emperors could be called peak fourth-stage Overlords.

Now, one more had emerged? The combat power Devil Emperor Xia displayed, along with Devil Emperor Jin Qu’s personal confirmation, erased the last trace of doubt from their minds.

Whoosh! The blade rays approached.

The thirteen Devil Emperors attempted to resist the attack together. Devil Emperor Jin Qu was again sent tumbling backwards, but this time he couldn’t block most of the power, and Devil Emperor Lan Hu took over fifty percent of the impact.

The gap between peak fourth-stage Overlord and second-stage Overlord was simply too great. Even though Devil Emperor Lan Hu resisted with all his might, he was still nearly shattered by this terrifying blade ray, his vital aura instantly diminishing by over ninety percent. He was on the verge of perishing outright.

The other Devil Emperors had no time to save him.

Whoosh! Another blade ray flashed past, directly annihilating Devil Emperor Lan Hu.

This scene deeply shook all the Devil Emperors. That was a body refiner Overlord. Yet in just two or three saber strikes, he was cleaved to death?

…

In distant Sector 10, atop the divine mountain.

“Peak fourth-stage Overlord?” True Saint Yue Luo murmured, a hint of caution flashing through his eyes.

He killed a body refiner Overlord in a few saber strikes? Devil Emperor Qian Ze stared intently at the light screen, his emotions complex, with a trace of relief. Thank goodness, thank goodness I didn’t go.

Our Abyss has produced another nearly invincible existence.

I wonder how many of them will survive. Devil Emperor Qian Ze shook his head inwardly.
