"Ah!!!!!!"
Click!
Bang!!!!
The dark green light shone on Long Xiaoyao, instantly dyeing him and most of his Martial Soul Avatar behind him green.
Bang! Splat!
The void shattered, flesh exploded, and blood splattered everywhere.
But even though his body was ravaged, his mind was constantly tormented, his whole body trembled until his eyes were bloodshot and he was mentally deranged...
Long Xiaoyao held the enormous egg tightly in his arms, never letting go.
The green light was incredibly destructive; Long Xiaoyao's clothes ripped apart at the chest, his defenses were breached, his flesh was torn apart, his bones were corroded, and his blood slowly dripped onto the giant golden egg in front of him.
Click!
Click!
The crisp sound of breaking echoed continuously.
Seeing the cracks appearing on the golden egg, Long Xiaoyao slowly curled up a smile.
"Even if I could live my life all over again, I would still, without hesitation, stand in front of you. Once, twice... every single time... Yes!!!"
Long Xiaoyao's voice was extremely firm, his eyes were gentle, and his breathing was calmer than ever before.
Buzz~!!!!
A golden light shone forth instantly, and in that split second, the golden egg shattered.
A gigantic, Bright Phoenix appeared.
Ye Xishui had long, jet-black hair and delicate, exquisite features. She was very beautiful, but it was hard to pinpoint exactly what made her beautiful. In short, she was more beautiful than many other people.
Perhaps... this is the truth: true beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin.
"No!!!!"
"No!!!"
The next instant, Ye Xishui's shrill scream rang out.
An intense force of resentment swept across the land, and even the Bright Phoenix gradually began to lose control, transforming into the Dark Phoenix.
"You can't die, you can't, you absolutely can't!!!"
Seeing Ye Xishui awaken, Long Xiaoyao smiled, but the smile was somewhat desolate.
He shakily stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, and at the instant he opened his mouth, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
"I still want to ask, did you... ever love me, even... for a second!"
Long Xiaoyao raised his hand and touched Ye Xishui's cheek. Just one second... if only he had one more second, he could have touched her. Unfortunately, in that one second, Long Xiaoyao had already exhausted most of his life force.
"No~!!!! No!!!!"
It was you before, it's you now, and it will be you in the future!
"Ah!!!!!"
I won't let you die!
Phew~!!!
The phoenix is crying mournfully, struggling incessantly, as the power of light within it is slowly being devoured.
The phoenix is resisting, but its master is corrupting himself.
Phoenix... Phoenix is cutting off its own flesh to feed... Dragon!!!
Ye Xishui didn't want Long Xiaoyao to die, so she mobilized all her Soul Power, even... her very soul essence, in an attempt to sustain Long Xiaoyao's life.
Such a risk is very high; if things go wrong, both of them could perish.
"Yet another... yet another human powerhouse, a master of the ultimate path!"
On the other hand, the Evil Emperor, though reluctant to admit it, had to acknowledge that these two individuals were extremely powerful.
Even at my peak, I would have to put in some effort if I encountered these two together, and there's no guarantee I could kill them.
It's good now.
I've already used most of my methods, and I still haven't killed one or two.
The important thing is not that we used all our methods, but that all our methods hit their target, and yet no one was killed!
Bang! Boom!!!!
Just then, a huge explosion rang out.
Bang! Bang!
The aftershocks ignited further aftershocks, creating explosions along the way.
Phew~!!!
The next instant, a giant bird radiating black light appeared.
She has turned evil; Ye Xishui's Bright Phoenix has turned into Dark Phoenix.
In addition, the golden pillar of light was instantly stained black, and within the dark pillar of light, a huge creature was slowly awakening!
Chant~!!!!
The next instant, a deafening roar, filled with panic and fury, resounded throughout the room.
" Dark Dragon-Phoenix Light!"
Buzzing sound!!!
Before the Evil Emperor could react, the dragon and phoenix pattern slowly solidified in the darkness, and in the next instant, a black beam of light shot towards the Evil Emperor's enormous evil eye.
Bang!
"Ah!!! My eyes, my very eyes!!!"
The Evil Emperor was greatly alarmed!
After the beam of light struck its eyes, it was horrified to find that it had gone blind, as if the sky had turned completely black.
I can't see myself anymore.
I can't see anything at all!
In addition, he also felt waves of pain.
Splash!
A strange sound of flowing water could be heard constantly in my ears.
The Evil Emperor knew that he might already be seriously injured.
"Retreat... go, son!"
Without the slightest hesitation, or even the thought of continuing the fight, the Evil Emperor transformed into a black wind and swiftly flew towards the Great Ming Empire with his son.
Ye Xishui did not chase after her.
The Sun-Moon Empire and the Evil Demon Forest suffered heavy losses, but the Great Ming Empire was not faring much better.
Although there were no large-scale casualties, all of their top combatants were now seriously injured, making the upcoming battles likely to be difficult to handle.
···
On the other side.
The scattered troops of the Sun-Moon Empire, blown away by the wind, gradually regrouped.
A little order has just been restored.
In the distance, two black beams of light suddenly plummeted.
Bang!
"Evil... Evil Emperor!"
Xu Ran happily dismounted and excitedly looked at the man who was covered in wounds, with broken limbs, dull eyes, and an empty eye on his forehead.
"What's going on? What's going on? Even you, Lord Evil Emperor, couldn't defeat them?"
···
Upon hearing Xu Ran's words, the Evil Emperor's lips twitched uncontrollably.
" The Great Ming Empire has too many titles, including two human Soul Master who have reached their Limit Douluo. I was careless and failed to dodge."
"Quickly, take me and my child back to the Sun-Moon Empire to recuperate!"
Upon hearing the Evil Emperor's words, Xu Ran's face showed worry.
"Then, Your Evil Emperor, will the Great Ming Empire take this opportunity to attack?"
···
"Cough cough... Heh, severely injuring me is their Limit Douluo. They dare not pursue. However, I need time to recover after defeating them. During this time, I can also teach you something."
Xu Ran's face lit up with joy.
As he excitedly approached, the Evil Emperor frowned, and Xu Ran was instantly horrified to discover that he couldn't move.
The Evil Emperor spat a mouthful of phlegm into Xu Ran's body, after which Xu Ran's body became completely out of control.
Its entire body radiated a black light.
"Devour! Devouring will make you stronger!"
"Sue for peace with them. Two and a half years. Just give me two and a half years, and my power will help you ascend to the rank of titled emperor!"
"By then, the overall level of the Sun Moon Continent will have risen to a new level, and the Great Ming Empire will be nothing to worry about!!!"
Three days later.
The envoys of the Sun Moon arrived in the Northern Territory of the Great Ming Empire to negotiate peace.
On the other side.
Xu Nian'an and Ma Xiaotao spent a relatively peaceful period together.
However, Xu Nian'an said she was somewhat unsettled.
Ninety percent of the titles in the Great Ming Empire were damaged. Fortunately, the Evil Emperor was severely injured by the intimidation, otherwise this would have been a double loss, a huge blow.
Looking up, Xu Nian'an saw the memorial from the Sun-Moon Empire seeking peace.
