Under a Quasi-Emperor's control, the Sand Drum unleashed peerless pressure.
Even though the Great Emperor's phantom was powerful enough at that moment, it could not stop it.
"A mere Great Emperor's soul imprint, and you really think you're a Great Emperor? Even if you were, I'd still cut you down today."
As Xiongba spoke, the Sand Drum's power instantly collided with the saber.
They were actually evenly matched. At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
"This is bad! Summon the Emperor Weapons!"
The Quasi-Emperors of the other factions dared not be careless and summoned their own Emperor Weapons.
The Yin-Yang Holy Land's Emperor Weapon was a mirror, the Yin-Yang Mirror. It could pierce through the yin and yang of heaven and earth, unrivaled and invincible.
The Artifact Sect's Emperor Weapon was a great cauldron that radiated intricate patterns. Terrifying flames blazed fiercely, and its imperial might was vast and utterly terrifying.
The Pill Pavilion's Emperor Weapon was an alchemy furnace, the Three-Eared Twin-Dragon Furnace. It radiated azure light, with three ears along its rim and two dragon patterns coiling around its body like living dragons, exuding terrifying imperial might.
The Sword Sect's Emperor Weapon was a heavy sword, pure black, radiating a majestic, weighty presence, incomparably domineering and powerful.
In an instant, six Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons had gathered.
Their target was Xiongba.
Seeing this, Aotian felt no fear whatsoever.
A blood-colored longsword appeared in his hand. It was an ownerless Emperor Weapon obtained by killing Hun Tiandi.
Ye Changge had later given it to Aotian.
At that moment, eight Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons faced one another from afar.
It was an utterly horrifying sight.
In the distance, the Heavenly Demon Sect's Left Protector felt his scalp prickle as he watched.
"Damn it, these major factions really can't be underestimated. These Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons could practically shatter a world. But the Primordial Forbidden Zone is overbearing enough, too, bringing out two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons to clash head-on with six."
With that, he stopped dwelling on it and watched quietly.
Xiongba's attack had been blocked. One Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon would have been manageable, but against several, even the Sand Drum struggled.
"Hahaha!"
Xiongba looked at everyone, threw back his head, and laughed.
"If you know what's good for you, retreat at once. An imperial war isn't something your Primordial Forbidden Zone can start."
The icy voice of the Saber Sect's Great Emperor soul imprint rang out.
Seeing this, Xiongba and Aotian fully released their presences in an instant.
Late-stage Quasi-Emperor. Peak late-stage Quasi-Emperor.
Such terrifying powerhouses, wielding Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons-and awakened ones at that.
"You don't even have a Great Emperor. What right do you have to run your mouths? Are a few Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons giving you this confidence?"
As Xiongba spoke, three Great Daos-ice, wind, and cloud-surged behind him, blotting out the sky and sun.
At this sight, everyone was stunned.
"Who exactly are you? The Southern Region has never seen a Quasi-Emperor who comprehended three Daos."
Everyone was shocked.
At that moment, even the Saber Sect's Great Emperor imprint was somewhat stunned.
"Hmph! You dare act so brazenly before the Demon Saber Great Emperor? Do you really think our Saber Sect is so easy to bully?"
Huang Taixu of the Saber Sect spoke with an icy expression.
The moment his words fell, Xiongba paid no heed to anything else and unleashed Three Parts Return to Origin Qi.
The terrifying attack made the Demon Saber Great Emperor's imprint's expression change.
"What? The Demon Saber Great Emperor? That peerless Great Emperor of the Saber Sect who cultivated Demon Race techniques and became an emperor a hundred thousand years ago?"
"How is that possible? To think the Saber Sect's Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon was actually forged by that Great Emperor."
"There's no need to guess who will win this battle anymore."
"Don't forget, the Primordial Forbidden Zone has two late-stage Quasi-Emperors. They're stronger by far more than a little."
Everyone fell silent.
A late-stage Quasi-Emperor could indeed look down on all.
Even Emperor Weapons required strength to wield.
"What are you thinking? This is a Great Emperor's soul imprint! In his hands, an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon is fully awakened."
Crack! Crack!
Rumble!
Yet, without further words, the battle had already begun.
Ye Changge watched the scene.
He, too, was somewhat shocked.
The Demon Saber Great Emperor was essentially someone who had attained emperorship through an alternative path.
To think the Saber Sect is descended from him. But this is where it ends.
Ye Changge thought to himself.
He knew Xiongba and the others' strength very well.
A mere Great Emperor's soul imprint diminished with every use. Before him, he would feel no fear.
The battle was ready to erupt at the slightest touch.
"You old bastards played dead when the Demon Race invaded, yet now you come prancing around. Not wiping out your lineages would be an insult to my wild, unbridled arrogance."
Aotian was utterly cold. Being able to fight at full strength thrilled him.
The blood sword in his hand radiated terrifying imperial might. Combined with his strength, every move carried matchless power.
"This is bad! Five Elements Sword, block it!"
The Five Elements Holy Land's Quasi-Emperor felt the sword strike Aotian unleashed, and his expression changed drastically.
"Aah!"
The two swords clashed, and the latter was instantly sent flying backward.
The force rebounding from the Five Elements Sword was far too powerful. The blood sword's might was actually so great that it rebounded through an Emperor Weapon.
With only early-stage Quasi-Emperor cultivation, he was injured on the spot.
"The Five Elements Holy Land is nothing more than this."
With that, he vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, his Sword Heart of Madness erupted. Together with the blood sword, it sent the Five Elements Sword flying again, while the early-stage Quasi-Emperor was severely wounded by the sword heart's rending power.
Seeing this, the Yin-Yang Mirror flew over and blocked Aotian's killing strike. Otherwise, his opponent might already have died.
"Five Elements, how are you so weak? You've been badly wounded in just two moves."
The Yin-Yang Quasi-Emperor spoke with an incomparably grave expression.
Hearing this, the other man spat blood in anger again.
"Everyone, don't hold back. Attack with all your strength, or we won't have any chance of winning."
The Yin-Yang Quasi-Emperor knew the gap between them and Aotian was far too great. They could only fight him thanks to their Emperor Weapons.
Clang! Clang!
Crack! Crack!
Rumble!
Yet in less than three minutes, all five powerhouses were sent flying backward at once.
"You're too weak. Even Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons can't protect you."
As he spoke, Aotian unleashed the power of his sword heart once more. At that moment, the blood sword's might once again erupted with peak pressure.
