"Now, do you still believe you will win today?"
The Immortal Emperor activated the Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree that had merged with the fragments of the Law, a smug look on his face as he coldly observed Su Xiuyi from his superior position.
Su Xiuyi was also very surprised at this moment. She never expected that the Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree, which was cultivated from the fragments of the Immortal Emperor's World Tree, would have such terrifying power.
Within the Domain of Blood, the power of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree was extremely terrifying. Its enormous trunk almost occupied the entire world formed by the domain, and the colossal Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree covered two-thirds of the area.
Within the world of the Domain of Blood, the Immortal Emperor was barely affected at that moment.
The moment Su Xiuyi erupted, a confident look appeared on her face, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Not bad. I didn't expect that after the fragment of the World Tree came into being, it would possess such terrifying power. It's incredibly shocking."
"Unfortunately, although you weren't weakened while within the world formed by the Domain of Blood, I'm sorry to say that the Domain of Blood's amplification effect on me is omnipresent."
"You're just like everyone else outside, showing no improvement whatsoever. But here, my strength has increased dramatically. Who do you think is the real victor between us today?"
At that moment, Su Xiuyi was not afraid of the terrifying power of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree; her face remained as always, with a faint smile.
Su Xiuyi's face was full of confidence, certain that she would win today.
"Are you so confident that you can defeat me?"
"Although you have received tremendous enhancements in your realm, while I have remained unchanged, do you think I have no trump cards up my sleeve?"
"I have lived for nearly 100,000 years. In these 100,000 years, do you think my greatest trump card is this fragment of the World Tree?"
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Immortal Emperor showed no fear on his face, but rather a mocking expression.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor still maintained his superior position, coldly observing Su Xiuyi was now incredibly confident.
As the Immortal Emperor's voice faded, an object appeared in his hand the next moment.
It was an extremely broken beast claw, very strange. It looked like a beast claw, but no matter how hard Su Xiuyi racked her brains, she couldn't figure out what kind of divine beast had left this claw.
At this moment, the beast's claw was covered with dense runes. Clearly, the beast's claw in the Immortal Emperor's hand was covered with seals to prevent the pressure within the claw from leaking out.
What kind of beast's claw is this?
Why have I never seen such animal claws before?
At that moment, Su Xiuyi looked puzzled and, without any attempt to hide anything, directly asked the question that had been bothering her.
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Immortal Emperor showed no surprise. A smug smile appeared on his lips as he looked down at Su Xiuyi and said with a smile, "You mean it's a beast's claw?"
Have you ever seen a mythical beast like this?
"Let me tell you, this isn't a beast's claw; to be precise, it's the Hand of the Heavenly Dao!"
The moment the Immortal Emperor's voice fell, Su Xiuyi's body trembled violently, her face filled with disbelief, her eyes fixed on the beast claw in the Immortal Emperor's hand.
A storm raged in Su Xiuyi's heart, and her face was filled with horror.
" The Hand of the Heavenly Dao! The Hand of the Heavenly Dao!"
"This is actually the Hand of the Heavenly Dao? How is this possible?"
" Immortal Emperor, as far as I know, with your strength, there's no way you could have participated in that Heavenly War. How did you obtain the Hand of the Heavenly Dao?"
In that instant, Su Xiuyi voiced her innermost thoughts, her face filled with shock and astonishment. From the secrets Su Xiuyi knew, it was absolutely impossible for Immortal Emperor to participate in the Heavenly War.
However, if the Immortal Emperor did not participate in the Heavenly War, then how did he obtain the Hand of the Heavenly Dao Immortal Emperor? At this moment, Su Xiuyi was filled with shock and doubt.
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Immortal Emperor's face showed shock, and the next moment, he looked at Su Xiuyi with curiosity.
Instead of explaining for Su Xiuyi, he smiled and said, " Human Emperor, as far as I know, you have only lived for a little over 100 years, yet you know about the Heavenly War. As far as I know, very few people know about the Heavenly War Heavenly War; only those who participated in it know about that battle."
"Could it be that someone among your Human Race participated in the Heavenly War?!"
"For a long time, all races have suspected that one of the participants in the Heavenly War was a supreme expert of the Human Race, but there has never been any information to prove that anyone from the Human Race participated in the Heavenly War!"
"I never expected you to know about the Heavenly War, and the speed at which your cultivation has improved is unprecedented, simply unbelievable. Could it be that the powerful figure behind you is that Human Race participated in the Heavenly War?"
"That makes sense. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, you couldn't have raised your cultivation to your current level in just over 100 years. I've cultivated for a full 100,000 years to reach my current level!"
The Immortal Emperor felt a pang of sadness as he thought about how he had gone through countless years to achieve his current strength.
Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor's words, Su Xiuyi showed no shock. Su Xiuyi had learned from the King of Ten Thousand Battles that very few people knew about the Heavenly War Heavenly War; only those who participated in it knew of it, while others were completely unaware of its existence.
Therefore, when the Immortal Emperor asked such a question, Su Xiuyi was not surprised at all.
"Tell me, how exactly did you obtain the Hand of the Heavenly Dao?"
At that moment, Su Xiuyi's face was serious as she stared intently at the Immortal Emperor, who looked down at her from above.
Seeing Su Xiuyi's sharp gaze and murderous intent, the Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "Since you want to know, then I might as well tell you. After all, it doesn't matter if a dead man knows some secrets!"
"I may not be qualified to participate in the Heavenly War, but that doesn't mean I can't obtain the Hand of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Back then, my strength was extremely weak; I was merely a weakling who had just entered the Law Realm. In the eyes of those powerful beings who participated in the Heavenly War, although I was powerful at that time, I was still just an ant."
"But those brutes forgot one thing: true victors need not only overwhelming strength, but also Wushuang wisdom."
"With enough wisdom and strategy, even a mortal can destroy an immortal!"
"Moreover, at that time I had already entered the Law Realm and was able to control the power of laws. Besides, no one else knew that I had obtained a fragment of the World Tree."
Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor's words, Su Xiuyi's expression changed drastically, and she stared at the Immortal Emperor in disbelief.
In that instant, Su Xiuyi guessed about 80-90% of the whole story.
Su Xiuyi stared at the Immortal Emperor in shock, saying incredulously, "You used the power of the World Tree to kill that powerful figure who obtained the Hand of the Heavenly Dao."
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Immortal Emperor smiled. "You guessed right. Back then, that guy thought he was incredibly powerful and beyond my ability to defeat, so he actually tried to seize the fragments of the Law of Longevity within me to suppress his injuries."
"A dying powerhouse—I certainly wouldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Because, unfortunately, I learned about their plans and also knew about the Heavenly War!"
"So the instant he appeared, severely injured, I knew why she had come, and I also knew that she had obtained the Hand of the Heavenly Dao. With such a treasure existing, even if there was only a sliver of a chance, who among us would be willing to miss it?"
In that instant, the Immortal Emperor treated Su Xiuyi as if she were already dead, and without hiding anything, told Su Xiuyi the whole story.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you've managed to control the Hand of the Heavenly Dao."
"I thought your biggest secret, your biggest trump card, was the fragment of the World Tree. I never imagined that besides the fragment of the World Tree, you also managed to obtain the Hand of the Heavenly Dao through your own schemes."
Everyone underestimated you.
"If I hadn't come today to behead you, this secret would never have been discovered, even if I wanted to completely destroy your Immortal Race."
"If my guess is correct, the reason you haven't forcibly revived for the past 100,000 years is because you've been trying to probe the power of the Hand of the Heavenly Dao!"
"And now, even if you don't have the ability to control the Hand of the Heavenly Dao, you've at least obtained a trace of its power, haven't you?"
Su Xiuyi looked at the Immortal Emperor before her and said with a serious expression.
The Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "You guessed correctly. I have indeed been slumbering all these years, comprehending the power of the Hand of the Heavenly Dao. The reason I dared not forcibly awaken and kill you is because I did not want to expose my trump card because of your provocation. That's why I allowed you to provoke me that day."
"If it weren't for the existence of the Longevity Sword Venerable, I would have taken your life that day. You should thank the Longevity Sword Venerable."
The Immortal Emperor smiled and said at that moment.
Upon hearing the Immortal Emperor mention the Longevity Sword Venerable, Su Xiuyi's lips curled into a smile. "I forgot to tell you, I truly have to thank the Eternal Longevity Sword Venerable Longevity Sword Venerable, because he greatly improved my strength. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be so powerful now, and I wouldn't dare to venture deep into your Immortal Race with the intention of killing you."
" The Longevity Sword Venerable not only waged war against the God Race, eliminating enemies for the rise of our Human Race to dominate the heavens, but he also gave me the Eye of the Heavenly Dao that he had obtained."
At that moment, Su Xiuyi smiled as she watched the smug Immortal Emperor.
"Um?"
The Immortal Emperor, who had been looking down at Su Xiuyi with a smug expression, suddenly changed his face upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, staring at Su Xiuyi in shock.
In that instant, the Immortal Emperor was filled with disbelief, and at the same time, some things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
The Immortal Emperor knew why the Longevity Sword Venerable was suddenly so furious, and why he had spared no effort to invade the God Race Ancient Realm and start a war against God Race.
Because the Longevity Sword Venerable lost the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, Longevity Sword Venerable mistakenly believed that the God Race had stolen Eye of the Heavenly Dao, which is why he was willing to go to war at all costs.
"How did you obtain the Eye of the Heavenly Dao of the Longevity Sword Venerable?"
"With your abilities, it's absolutely impossible for you to win so easily."
"I am very puzzled. The Longevity Sword Venerable is an extremely powerful being, someone I am extremely wary of."
The Immortal Emperor stared intently at Su Xiuyi, wanting to know the true answer to this matter.
Su Xiuyi didn't hide anything, and said with a smile, "Because the Longevity Sword Venerable wanted to completely control it, he severed his own will and cultivated an avatar, allowing this avatar to completely merge with the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Unfortunately, I killed this avatar."
Upon hearing Su Xiuyi's words, the Immortal Emperor frowned slightly, then burst into laughter.
"Heaven is helping me! It's like the heavens have sent me to this world!"
"I originally thought killing you would be a great gain, after all, you control the Law of Space-Time. I could obtain fragments of the Law of Space-Time from you and then comprehend the power of Space-Time."
"However, I underestimated you. You actually control the power of Space-Time. I never imagined that your control of the power of Space-Time came from your comprehension of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao."
"Once I obtain your fragment of law, it will be equivalent to controlling one eye and one hand of the Heavenly Dao. Coupled with the fragment of the World Tree, I am confident that I can forcefully suppress even those powerful figures who participated in the Heavenly War when the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi fully recovers to its peak."
In that instant, the Immortal Emperor's eyes became extremely sharp, like sword blades, fixed intently on Su Xiuyi. At this moment, the Immortal Emperor could no longer resist the temptation.
Without saying another word to Su Xiuyi, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from the Immortal Emperor's body in an instant. At this moment, the Immortal Emperor was like a volcano that had been dormant for millions of years.
At the same time, the runes on the Hand of the Heavenly Dao shattered instantly, transforming into a ferocious beast claw in the next moment.
The enormous beast claw instantly merged with the Dharma Heaven and Earth Immortal Emperor was using the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique.
At this moment, the Immortal Emperor forcibly merged with the Hand of the Heavenly Dao, and the Hand of the Heavenly Dao unleashed a powerful backlash, frantically devouring the life force within the Immortal Emperor's body.
But in that instant, the Immortal Emperor, whose fragments of laws and the World Tree had merged, saw endless life force surging into his body from the Heaven-Piercing Divine Tree. Even though it was being rapidly devoured by that hand, it didn't have much of an effect on the Immortal Emperor. On the contrary, the Immortal Emperor's strength became incredibly terrifying in that instant, as if any casual strike of his could shatter the heavens.
" Human Emperor, you can die now. Everything about you will be under my control."
In that instant, the Immortal Emperor's body became incredibly enormous, like a true God, as he judged Su Xiuyi.
Do you really think you've won?
"Do you think I'd let you kill me so easily after I've told you so many secrets?"
"Like you said, do you think I'm an idiot?"
" Immortal Emperor, thank you for sending me the First of Heavenly Dao."
"Once I control the power within the Hand of the Heavenly Dao, my strength will undoubtedly reach a new level."
"Having cultivated for many days and nurtured my sword for many days, today I will test it on you."
"This will also be a good opportunity to see just how sharp my sword really is."
In that instant, after Su Xiuyi's voice fell, an extremely powerful sword intent erupted from her body.
At this moment, within Su Xiuyi's five internal organs, an extremely powerful divine sword awakened instantly. A strange bridge appeared between her five internal organs, connecting them together. In that instant, the five divine swords that had been dormant within her five internal organs merged into one.
