Chapter 1602: Chapter 1254: Standoff (2)
But this Realm Membrane passage, after all, is formed by the Energy of a King-level Great Secret Realm fused with the wall of a plane; its theoretical upper limit far surpasses what an ordinary King Level can ever touch.
Even though it had been beaten into dents everywhere, it was still tough to the extreme and never truly broken.
A few breaths later, the storm-like barrage suddenly stopped; before Tianluo could relax, an even more terrifying fluctuation surged out from Ling Xiao’s body.
Ling Xiao’s entire body split open with countless new cracks, great gouts of fresh blood turning into flames that coiled around her, roaring and surging, and in the end all of it gathered onto the fist she clenched!
Borrowing the Red Emperor Vermilion Bird to draw forth Nanming Li Fire, this move could only be unleashed after the third shackle of the Xuantian Four Saints Technique was opened—
"Red Emperor’s Secret Technique: Blood Cry of the South Heaven!"
Her punch smashed out, the Vermilion Bird cried, and the terrifying blood-colored Fist Power directly pierced through the Realm Membrane, turning into a blood-colored Vermilion Bird that flew into the sky and burned through ten thousand zhang of Void Heaven!
Within the Realm Membrane, Tianluo stared at that not-so-large fist before his eyes, blurred by blood, and his gaze trembled slightly.
"She actually really broke the Realm Membrane!"
This punch of Ling Xiao’s had abruptly blasted a palm-sized hole in the Realm Membrane, but its might was already exhausted, and she was slowly pushed out by the rapidly repairing Membrane.
Even so, Tianluo’s gaze toward Ling Xiao ahead grew solemn.
Even he himself could only briefly break the Realm Membrane by using All Things Return to Ruins; this had long since been tested... yet Ling Xiao had almost broken it open with one punch!
Not only Tianluo; Crow, Silver Scythe, and other human powerhouses such as Pang Hai, all stared in shock at Ling Xiao, who was slightly panting, with her right arm a mess of blood and mangled flesh.
Seeing she was about to rise up into the Chaotic Star Domain, Tianluo said in a deep voice to Ling Xiao: "Azure Dragon Throne Ling Xiao... this general concedes that you are indeed very strong! However, today ends here!"
"Ends here?" Ling Xiao abruptly stilled her somewhat hurried breathing, raised her eyes to look at Tianluo, and then once again lifted her hand, recalling the Black Emperor Xuanwu.
"What does she still want to do?" At this sight, Tianluo, Crow and the others all felt their hearts inexplicably leap. "Could it be she really intends to shatter the Realm Membrane?!"
Behind them, Yu Wenwuji saw Ling Xiao’s movement and his expression changed: "Imperial Envoy Ling, you mustn’t!"
The Xuantian Four Saints Technique works by undoing the body’s self-protective shackles to mobilize the hidden reserves of the flesh with no upper limit; at the same time, it naturally inflicts fierce wear and tear upon the body.
If it were only the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, the first two locks are still manageable, merely inflicting injuries of varying severity; but from the third lock onward, it already harms the Origin and must be followed by a period of recuperation.
As for the Fourth Lock... that is practically using the body as consumable fuel; whether or not you can injure the enemy by a thousand is unknown, but once you trigger it you will definitely first wound yourself by eight hundred!
A moment’s carelessness, and you might even be left with irreversible, permanent damage!
At this moment Ling Xiao’s gaze was locked on Tianluo, who was about to rise into the Chaotic Star Domain; she was precisely preparing to open the Fourth Lock.
In Ling Xiao’s view, with top experts of every side all present, this was the perfect opportunity to kill Tianluo; such a terrifying enemy in Strength, if let loose back into the mountains, would be a disaster with endless future troubles!
But just as Ling Xiao’s Seal Technique was about to form, a skinny, withered old hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.
"As the foremost of the Five Imperial, Ling Xiao, you are still this reckless."
With that deep, solemn, aged yet powerful voice, an old man with a face like it had been carved by blade and axe, wearing a loose black robe, suddenly appeared in everyone’s sight.
Seeing who had come, Ling Xiao, after her initial startlement, curled her lips slightly with a hint of rebelliousness, but still stopped what she was doing.
All the members of the Sky Patrol Department, including Yu Wenwuji and Liu Yucheng, bowed in unison: "We greet the Red Emperor!"
This black-robed old man who had suddenly appeared was none other than the master of the Great Flame Sky Patrol—the Red Emperor!
In all directions, whether it was Pang Hai, Ye Xiaose and the others from the Southern Continent, or Lü Fei and the others from Huo Luo Country, they all reined in their auras somewhat and looked with utmost gravity at the Red Emperor who had appeared in the field.
The Great Flame Country’s Emperor Level!
"Damn?!" Tianluo, Crow and the other Demon Beasts within the Realm Membrane all had a drastic change in expression. "A human Emperor Level should be restrained by the Upper Emperor, how could one show up here!"
Even though Tianluo and the others were within the Realm Membrane, under the gaze of those pitch-black eyes of the Red Emperor—calm on the surface yet filled with deep, savage violence—a powerful sense of dread involuntarily rose in their hearts!
"Self-created Secret Realm?"
The Red Emperor glanced at the vast blurry Chaotic Star Domain in midair, wrapped in multicolored Energy; then he raised his wrinkled, rough finger and pointed at Tianluo.
In an instant, a sense of crisis Tianluo had never felt before surged up in his heart!
"Not good!"
With a soft "chi", Flame Light seared forth, and an egg-sized clump of firelight flickered from the Red Emperor’s fingertip, flying toward Tianluo.
This flame looked utterly ordinary, as if it were just a white or Green Skill set into a Star Disciple Level.
Yet whether it was Ling Xiao nearby, or Lou Zhen, Pang Hai, Lü Fei and all the others in the arena, everyone stared unblinkingly at that clump of flame...
For the sole reason that this was a method of the Emperor Level!
King Level only understands the Law and uses the Law.
But an Emperor Level completely masters a single Law; he himself is the agent of the rules, and every move is the extreme of the Power of Laws!
Very quickly, that clump of firelight landed on the Realm Membrane.
Where Ling Xiao had opened the third lock of the Four Saints Technique and gone all out with Blood Cry of the South Heaven, managing only to barely break open a small patch of the Realm Membrane, now it was being burned through at high speed by the flame as if it were mere white paper.
Everyone’s pupils shook!
Tianluo’s scalp went numb, and he cried out in horror: "Shadow!"
Sky Void Shadow instantly appeared in front of him, but even the Sky Void Shadow, which even Great Divine Power could not harm in the slightest, could only block the flame for a split second before being burned through.
The next moment, the firelight fell on Tianluo, leaving a fist-sized hole in his body without the slightest resistance, and the rule of incinerating all things flowed on, spreading inexorably through his body.
"Damn damn damn?!"
Tianluo’s eyes were filled with boundless terror; he desperately mobilized Star Power, but could only barely slow the rate at which his flesh was being burned into ash!
Just as nearly half his chest cavity had been completely scorched away by the flame, a streak of Water Light surged from the west, flowing through the Realm Membrane into Tianluo’s body, suppressing the annihilating flame and slowly dousing it bit by bit...
A few breaths later, the firelight on Tianluo’s body finally went out, but his Origin was already wounded and his Yuan Qi had taken great damage!
"Turbulent Emperor!"
Tianluo, who had just survived a brush with death, as well as Crow, Silver Scythe and the others all bowed toward the west; the next second, together with the Realm Membrane of the Chaotic Star Domain, they vanished completely from the field...
"An Emperor Level from the Grey Realm?"
The people of Blue Sea Star looked toward the west, and saw at the Sky Edge, like a mirage, another scene reflected upside down: a blue-haired man with wavy curls and a slightly pale face sat there, holding a Bead shimmering with multicolored light, facing the Red Emperor.
"To think a dignified Emperor Level would actually make a move against someone beneath the Emperor realm; sir, aren’t you lowering your status a bit?" The curly-haired man spoke calmly.
"We’re already mortal enemies, what is there to pretend for?" The Red Emperor lifted his eyes slightly to look at him, speaking coldly. "If not for your scruples about this emperor, you’d probably wish to personally take the field and slaughter all my realm’s King Level clean!"
Hearing this, the curly-haired man glanced at the many King Level experts present in the field and suddenly chuckled softly: "Those words are not wrong~"
If given the chance to massacre the many King Level humans of Blue Sea, he would indeed be more than happy to act personally.
At the back, Yu Wenwuji, Pang Hai, Ye Xiaose and the other Blue Sea King Level experts all felt a chill in their hearts for no reason, as if if the Red Emperor were not present right now, they would all have fallen here.
But the curly-haired man’s gaze did not linger on the others for long; very soon it returned to the Red Emperor, with a faint gravity appearing in his eyes.
The Strength of this Great Flame Emperor Level was beyond his expectations; to think he could suddenly evaporate his Domain and charge out. If he himself hadn’t made a timely move, Tianluo might really have fallen in advance...
The Red Emperor stepped into the air, moving upward one step at a time, looking from afar at the curly-haired man: "Since you’ve chased me all the way here, this emperor will keep playing with you!"
"Sir’s Strength is formidable; I truly do feel my hands itching somewhat." The curly-haired man smiled, then shook his head. "However, this is not yet the time for us to fight our life-and-death duel..."
As he spoke, the curly-haired man once more took a deep look at the Red Emperor, and his body faded away together with the blurring and dispersal of the mirage on the Sky Edge...
