The Emperor's Shadow

"One layer of thunder, one layer of benefit!" After Zhou Tong completely absorbed all the thunder and laws around him, he felt as if he had taken another step forward and undergone a further transformation.

Even more astonishingly, the Hegemonic Bell imprinted the Dao Pattern belonging to the Ten Fiends from the Heavenly Tribulation. These Dao Pattern transformed into insights into the Great Dao, continuously infusing Zhou Tong with them, allowing him to further deepen his understanding of the Ten Evils Treasure Art in a short period of time.

This brief moment was equivalent to the insights he gained during the second half of his Divine Prohibition State!

"Buzz!!"

Just then, Zhou Tong opened his eyes wide, revealing a hint of surprise. A blurry mass of immortal Immortal Qi slowly took shape and was about to manifest itself outside Zhou Tong.

With the third Thunder Tribulation and the first strange phenomenon over, Zhou Tong is finally about to cultivate the third strand of Immortal Qi, and his cultivation of the Immortal Ancient Method is about to reach the perfection of this stage.

"Boom!"

However, at this moment, the heavens erupted in a violent storm, an endless sea of lightning crashing down, engulfing Zhou Tong. On the Path to Immortality, countless lights flickered—the glow of substances belonging to the Immortal Domain.

Celestial light soared into the sky, accompanied by bursts of crystalline brilliance. The tribulation Thunder Tribulation in the world intensified, and the fourth tribulation Thunder Tribulation descended. Finally, humanoid lightning bolts appeared, and there were nine of them at once.

"The Great Emperor has appeared... Judging from his current status, the Great Emperor is actually above the Ten Fiends?"

"But that makes sense. This world was damaged after all. It was later rebuilt by the Desolate Heaven Emperor. The rebuilt world didn't have the opportunity for the Ten Fiends to run rampant. So, in the judgment of Heaven and Earth, the Great Emperor is stronger than the Ten Fiends..."

"Nine is the ultimate number, and the maximum number of Great Emperor is nine!" Zhou Tong looked around and immediately recognized who the nine illusory figures of Great Emperor were.

"Hengyu the Great, Void Great Emperor, Azure Emperor, Great Emperor, Great Emperor Fuxi, Battle Saint Emperor, Demon Emperor, Amitabha Great Emperor, and the Dao De Tianzun!"

All nine of them are ruthless!

"Boom!"

Flames poured down from the sky, and a huge furnace descended from the heavens. Although it was made of lightning, it seemed to be forged from Phoenix Blood Red Gold. A majestic figure stood on top of it, pressing down on him.

Hengyu the Great, who was closest to Zhou Tong, made the first move.

"Fight!!" Zhou Tong didn't even consider dodging. Instead, he entered Divine Prohibition State and boldly clashed head-on with Hengyu the Great. He secretly activated the Nine Secrets: Jie and let out a loud shout—this was the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique.

Lightning erupted from his mouth, an endless thunderous sound. The sound waves spread like ripples, colliding with the flames pouring down from the Hengyu Furnace, instantly unleashing the most terrifying impact.

The sound waves intertwined and collided continuously, and the raging flames seemed like a raging flood that could not be stopped for a long time, and the whole world was in a state of boiling.

This was the most terrifying battle of divine prohibitions, and also a battle between Zhou Tong and the Hengyu the Great, who was of the same level.

The terrifying impact was like a collision between heaven and earth; a destructive light erupted from between the two, engulfing the area.

Hengyu the Great's body was sent flying, but just as Zhou Tong was about to give chase, a beam of azure light shot out, and a Azure Lotus, radiating ripples, swept heavily toward Zhou Tong.

"Azure Emperor, well done! Take my sword too!"

Zhou Tong took a deep breath, and a feathered sword appeared behind him. It was incredibly thick, reaching the sky, and bursting with dazzling golden light. This was the manifestation of the Kunpeng Method.

The Unique True Feather Sword!

"Boom!!"

The Kunpeng Method's Unique True Feather Sword clashed with the Azure Emperor Lotus, creating a dazzling display of light, boundless sea of lightning, and immeasurable calamity.

In addition, the chaos at the end of the Path to Immortality was also exploding. The battle between Zhou Tong and the Azure Emperor had left this place in ruins, and the Path to Immortality was in a terrible and dire state.

"Boom!"

In the distance, a blazing light shot out—the light of the Void Mirror. Zhou Tong opened his mouth and spat out a divine light, which transformed into nine golden ancient characters in the Void the Great, triggering wisps of Chaos Qi that directly blocked the immortal light of the Void Mirror.

"Boom!!"

A golden ape leaped out, wielding a jet-black iron rod that crashed down, causing the heavens and earth to tremble in an instant. Its unparalleled power and domineering aura reached the extreme, threatening to bring down the Ninth Heaven.

"Battle Saint Emperor? I'd like to see whether it's your Battle Saint Ape that's domineering, or my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body that's domineering!" Zhou Tong leaped up, like Tyrannosaurus, charging forward with force, unleashing the Sky Horn Ant Treasure Art, and attacking the Battle Saint Emperor opposite him, taking the initiative.

Those fists, like two Sun Emperor, emitted the most dazzling light, crashing down upon the Battle Saint Emperor opposite him. Even before the fists arrived, the force of their blows tore through the Void the Great, and an extremely domineering aura emanated from him!

"Boom!"

Zhou Tong and the Battle Saint Emperor fought a great battle, and a huge explosion suddenly broke out between them. The Void the Great was rapidly Obliteration, which was extremely terrifying and astonishing!

Finally, the two clashed one last time, a burst of dazzling divine light erupted, their bodies were torn apart, and they were both sent flying backward.

"Bear!!"

The Nirvana Divine Fire circulated around Zhou Tong's body, and his body quickly recovered.

"Among those of the same level, I am invincible. Even a young Great Emperor is no match for me!" Zhou Tong's confidence soared after he had faced four Great Emperor head-on.

"Now, I declare that you nine are surrounded!"

This time, he didn't passively accept the attack, but took the initiative.

"Om!"

Behind Zhou Tong, a pair of Kunpeng Wings appeared, with countless black spots on the golden feathers.

After so many years of cultivation, Zhou Tong has been able to transform into perfect Kunpeng Wings, no longer the black and gold wings he had before.

As the Kunpeng Wings appeared, the Yin and Yang energies circulated and collided to create Chaos Qi. Zhou Tong activated the Kunpeng Method, transforming the Chaos Qi into a chaotic divine sword.

Wielding a divine sword, he charged fiercely through the nine imperial shadows!

"Zheng!!"

With a deafening roar, Zhou Tong's Chaos Divine Sword and the Great Emperor Sword collided, and both were forced to retreat simultaneously.

Zhou Tong turned and charged at Emperor Fuxi in the distance once more, exchanging several blows that shook the heavens and earth. After forcing Emperor Fuxi to retreat, Zhou Tong immediately retreated and turned to face another emperor.

Kunpeng Extreme Speed is unparalleled, and with the use of the Nine Secrets: Jie" and "Nine Secrets: Xing, he transforms into a streak of light, freely maneuvering across the battlefield, unstoppable by anyone!

In the realm of speed, Zhou Tong is already unparalleled among his peers. Even if the young form of the Carefree Tianzun were to reappear, he might not be able to surpass him in this area.

Even if one is occasionally injured, the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art will provide a backup, allowing for a swift recovery.

"Boom!!"

Zhou Tong never wanted to be on the defensive. Relying on the unparalleled speed brought by the Kunpeng Extreme Speed and the Nine Secrets: Xing, he took the initiative to attack. This scene was not like nine illusory Great Emperor besieging him, but rather like he alone surrounded nine Great Emperor!

Even so, he fought a very tough battle.

These are nine Great Emperor after all. Even if Zhou Tong could gain a slight advantage in a one-on-one situation, the other Great Emperor would soon come to his aid, making it impossible to eliminate one or two Great Emperor in a short period of time.

Although his speed is unparalleled, he still makes mistakes and suffers serious injuries.

But Zhou Tong was unyielding; the word "give up" did not exist in him. His eyes narrowed, and the light deep within his pupils blazed even brighter, burning fiercely like two torches!

"Kill! Today we'll see if you outlast me, or I outlast you all!" Zhou Tong's aura grew increasingly violent, and his fighting spirit became ever more intense.

As the battle progressed, even with the Kunpeng Extreme Speed and the Immortal Phoenix Nirvana, he was still covered in blood, his bones shattered, purple blood splattering everywhere, staining the sky with blood. He collapsed on the Path to Immortality, his flesh and internal organs torn to pieces.
