The Emperor's Last Road

With this thought in mind, the Flame Demon Emperor's eyes hardened. He gathered the last of his Law Power and climbed to the peak once more. A power that could pluck stars and seize the moon surged forth, forcibly locking onto the Pure Yang Heaven Soul above the Nine Heavens.

"Get down here!"

With a roar, the Flame Demon Emperor's Law Power surged to an unprecedented peak, unleashing a force that overwhelmed the vast Ancient Domain.

He was going to risk everything, disregarding all the backlash, in a final desperate attempt to forcefully break through the realm of the Supreme Dao Lord.

"Boom!"

The Nine Heavens roared, Great Wilderness trembled.

In that instant, the entire fiery sea of Flame Domain boiled over, and a magnificent power illuminated the heavens and the earth, like a celestial king roaring.

But in that very instant, the Law Power that had been locking the Heaven Soul in the Nine Heavens could not withstand the strain and broke apart with a crisp, loud crack.

Heaven and earth lost their color, and all things lost their splendor.

"No--"

The Flame Demon Emperor's unwilling roar sounded like an ancient echo from before the dawn of time, reverberating between heaven and earth for a long time.

The desperate, all-or-nothing breakthrough, if it fails, will inflict unbearable pain on the Flame Demon Emperor.

His physical body seemed to be shattering; his towering divine and Gods and Devils form was cracked with countless fissures, as if struck by the heavens, and it took a long time to heal.

"The Demon Emperor's End."

Looking at the severely injured Flame Demon Emperor, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but sigh.

The peerless Dao Lord is such an unparalleled realm, requiring the strongest divine soul and Law Power to pluck the soul of the Nine Heavens. This is the final step that the vast majority of Half-step Dao Lord cannot break through.

The Flame Demon Emperor lacked sufficient foundation and ultimately did not possess the supreme power to pluck stars from the Nine Heavens. Even if he took a risky gamble, it would only be courting death.

"Kill--"

In that instant, the Flame Demon Emperor's gaze fell deeply upon them.

His gaze was fixed on Chen Nianzhi, and with a roar, he swung a Lava Greatsword at her.

This sword strike was the final act of the Flame Demon Emperor. Its boundless killing intent locked onto the enemy who had inflicted the greatest harm upon him, rendering Chen Nianzhi unable to move and even causing the surrounding void to solidify.

More importantly, Chen Nianzhi had been attacking with all her might, constantly unleashing killer moves like the Heavenly Separation Twin-Sword Fusion. At this moment, the Law Power within her body was actually somewhat depleted, and she was being suppressed to the point where she could hardly muster any Law Power to fight back.

"Not good!"

Jiang Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately used all her skills to help Chen Nianzhi defend herself.

However, the fatal blow from Half-step Dao Lord unleashed power that was arguably the pinnacle of his life, and it was not so easy to withstand.

The power of this sword easily cleaved through the defensive array patterns of the Ji-Earth Kun Origin Plate, cut a huge gap in the Six Directions Eight Desolations Cauldron, and still slashed towards Chen Nianzhi with undiminished momentum.

Seeing that life and death were at stake, Ya Ya gritted her teeth and blocked the attack, relying on the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda.

"Puff--"

With a deafening roar, Ya Ya sent flying backward, bleeding profusely, and quickly flew out of the air.

Fortunately, the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda managed to block it for a moment. Yan Ziji seized the opportunity and used the Purple Firmament Void-Escaping Mirror to sever the void around Chen Nianzhi, isolating the killing intent that was locking onto everything.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chen Nianzhi Yin-Yang Void Realm protected its master and teleported away with a clang, avoiding the Heaven Annihilation sword strike.

"No--"

Seeing that his fatal blow had failed to kill his opponent, the Flame Demon Emperor roared in frustration.

But it was no use being unwilling at this moment. The backlash within him erupted completely, his physical body shattered into hundreds of pieces on the spot, and even his Nascent Soul and Earth Soul were completely exhausted and burned to ashes by the lava.

"Call--"

Having dodged the opponent's seemingly inevitable fatal blow, Chen Nianzhi took a deep breath in relief. He quickly shielded Jiang Linglong and Ya Ya, discovering that both of them were seriously injured.

Jiang Linglong fared somewhat better. Although the Six Directions Eight Desolations Cauldron was severely damaged, her profound foundation and magical Law Power allowed her to suppress most of the backlash.

Although Ya Ya blocked the attack with the Ice-Soul Condensed Jade Pagoda, her cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Second Layer, and the backlash she suffered was extremely severe. It seems that she will need to heal in the Nirvana Pool for sixty years to recover.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi grasped the two women's hands and hurriedly fed them healing pills. Then, with lingering fear, she said, "If you hadn't blocked my way at the crucial moment, I'm afraid that even if I hadn't perished, my physical body would have been half destroyed."

"It's nothing," Ya Ya smiled and said, "A little injury is nothing. I'm just happy to be able to help you."

Jiang Linglong's heart was pounding. She gripped Chen Nianzhi's hand tightly and said, "In the future, you should leave some room for maneuver. Don't go all out like this, lest you run out of Law Power to fight your enemy at a crucial moment."

"Understood."

Seeing that the two men's injuries had stabilized and that they shouldn't suffer any lasting damage, Chen Nianzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at everyone, then said, "Let's clear out this Subterranean Fire Vein."

As they talked, the group began to clean up the battlefield, and everyone started to collect the relics of the Flame Demon True Lord.

After briefly collecting the relics of the Flame Demon True Lord, they approached the remains of the Flame Demon Emperor with anticipation.

"This is."

Upon arriving before the Flame Demon Emperor, Chen Nianzhi revealed a look of surprise and delight.

Within the remains of the Flame Demon Emperor, seven drops of crimson liquid flowed deep within his heart. The crimson liquid shone brilliantly, as dazzling as Divine Jade.

"It's Pure Yang True Blood."

Chen Nianzhi whispered in shock, "Pure Yang True Blood, also known as Dao Lord Divine Blood, can generally only be conceived within the body of Pure Yang Dao Lord."

The Pure Yang Dao Lord's cultivation has Perfected Person. At this level, a cultivator's physical body is extraordinary, Essence Blood within his body, nourished by the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, will possess an astonishing and divine quality.

Legend has it that a single drop of Immortal's Natal Essence Blood is enough to rejuvenate a cultivator and allow them to live a second life. Although the Essence Blood of the Pure Yang Dao Lord is far inferior, it still possesses astonishing uses.

Legend has it that Pure Yang True Blood can help cultivators repair their foundation and refine their magical Law Power, possessing the amazing ability to recreate innate talent.

It is said that if a cultivator at the Earth Dao Nascent Soul consumes a drop of Pure Yang True Blood, their foundation will be greatly enhanced. Although it is still far inferior to the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, it can still increase the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage by 10%.

"It really is Pure Yang True Blood, and it's fire-attribute Pure Yang True Blood."

The Heavenly Hut Sect was overjoyed as he looked at the Pure Yang True Blood before him. He never expected that the Flame Demon Emperor would have Pure Yang True Blood in his body.

The Pure Yang True Blood was a priceless treasure to him, as it could strengthen his foundation and increase his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage.

After several failed attempts to break through, he was already only a hair's breadth away from the Nascent Soul Late Stage. With this Pure Yang True Blood, his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage have greatly increased.

With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but look at Chen Nianzhi and ask, "Fellow Daoist, how should this Pure Yang True Blood be distributed?"
