"Vile beast! Enough of your insolence!"
The Blood Serpent Devil Emperor had set her sights on Zhao Qianjun, the Zhao Imperial Clan's sole minor perfection peak Emperor Realm expert.
Now, no matter how reluctant Zhao Qianjun was to fight, he had no choice.
A two-meter-long chain appeared in his hand. He raised his arm and flung it out, and the chain instantly lengthened, striking at the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor like a venomous snake.
"Spirit-Binding Chain!"
This Emperor weapon could not only attack, but also seal the spiritual power within anyone it bound.
Once that happened, no matter how high their cultivation was, they would be powerless.
"Hehe!"
Faced with the Emperor weapon Zhao Qianjun had unleashed, the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor showed no sign of worry. Instead, a trace of excitement appeared on her face.
After fighting the Su Imperial Clan for so long, she was actually looking forward to a fight with someone from another imperial clan.
She sneered as blood-red light gathered in her hand, forming a crimson spear that radiated a fearsome devilish might.
She smashed it against the incoming Spirit-Binding Chain!
Clang!!!
In an instant, the two Emperor weapons collided. An ear-piercing metallic crash exploded like a sonic boom, and sparks flew from the impact.
Some members of the Zhao Imperial Clan nearby felt as though their eardrums were about to burst, and scarlet blood streamed from their ears.
Seeing this, Zhao Qianjun felt a pang of pain. He immediately moved the battlefield, shouting at the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor, "Follow me if you dare!"
In the blink of an eye, he vanished from the floating island and appeared in the void.
The Blood Serpent Devil Emperor naturally knew what Zhao Qianjun was planning. She merely glanced at the Zhao Imperial Clan members below before turning into a streak of blood-red light and following him.
Zhao Qianjun did not want the aftershocks of their battle to harm the Zhao Imperial Clan.
After all, this was the Zhao Imperial Clan's headquarters, and to these people, the power of a minor perfection peak Emperor Realm expert could destroy heaven and earth at the slightest touch.
Its residual force alone could shatter them into a bloody mist.
But could they escape disaster just because he had moved their battlefield elsewhere... how could it be that simple?
Aside from the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor herself, a lesser perfection peak Devil Emperor, the remaining four Devil Emperors were all at the ninth heaven of the Devil Emperor Realm.
On the Zhao Imperial Clan's side, of the other four Great Emperors, only Zhao Fengtian, the clan leader, had cultivation comparable to the four Devil Emperors.
The two sides were simply not in the same league.
To be precise, the moment the Zhao Imperial Clan's protective formation exploded, the one-sided situation had been sealed.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the space of a few breaths, Zhao Qianjun and the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor exchanged dozens more blows.
The two seemed to be in the same realm, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Qianjun was gradually falling behind.
Facing the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor, Zhao Qianjun's expression was grim, and his breathing had grown heavy and uneven.
He was already very old.
If not for the trace of ancient black tortoise blood inherited by the Zhao Imperial Clan, his lifespan would have run out and he would have died long ago.
It was already no easy feat for him to maintain this level of power, and a breakthrough was even more impossible.
"Ahhh, damn you devils!"
"Father! Mother! Save me!"
"My wife!"
"Little Ying'er, I can't wait for you any longer. See you in our next life!"
On the floating island, the devil army the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor had brought had already slaughtered its way into the Zhao Imperial Clan.
Screams and cries rose one after another.
Many watched with their own eyes as devils tore their companions, parents, and kin apart alive, then swallowed them whole right in front of them.
The Blood Serpent Devil Race was especially lustful by nature. With an overwhelming advantage, these devils did not slaughter their victims outright, but instead vented all the anger they had accumulated while suppressed in the Realm Sea.
Many devils even violated the women of the Zhao Imperial Clan in public.
The women's husbands naturally flew into a rage at the sight, but before they could charge forward, several devils of the same realm surrounded them and tore their limbs off.
They were made to watch it happen, raging helplessly!
Boom!
Elsewhere, a tremendous crash rang out.
Zhao Fengtian, the leader of the Zhao Imperial Clan, was punched into the ground, leaving a crater dozens of zhang deep.
His opponents were two peak Devil Emperors in the same realm as him. Fighting two against one, he could not possibly match them.
The Zhao Imperial Clan's other three Great Emperors were trapped by the other two Devil Emperors, who toyed with them like cats with mice!
The Devil Emperors' might enveloped the entire floating island, making it impossible for the Zhao Imperial Clan members to escape.
But if they hid inside, they would be like turtles trapped in a jar, sooner or later slaughtered to the last by the devils.
Smack!
Suddenly, one of the Devil Emperors planted a foot on Zhao Fengtian's face, leaving a huge footprint.
"Tsk, tsk? This is the Zhao Imperial Clan? Nothing special. Compared to the Su Imperial Clan, you aren't even a fart!" The Devil Emperor could not help shaking his head, his face full of dismay.
Leaving Su Chen aside, the Su Imperial Clan had fourteen Emperor Realm experts, including Su Ting, a great perfection peak Emperor Realm expert who could contend with the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings.
Yet the Zhao Imperial Clan, also an imperial clan, had only five Great Emperors, and not a single great perfection Emperor Realm expert among them.
More importantly, one had been in the Realm Sea, while the other was on its own ancestral grounds. The difference...
"Devils, you will pay for what you've done today!"
The shrill screams ringing in Zhao Fengtian's ears made it hard for him to look, and his heart was bleeding!
But even when he forced himself not to look, his Emperor Realm senses could easily pick out the terror, despair, helplessness, and panic on every clansman's face!
Worse still, many had been so frightened that they collapsed where they stood, without even the courage to fight.
That happened to bear out what the devils had said.
When had these people ever experienced true bloodshed or a real battle to the death?
As the devils had said, they were flowers in a greenhouse.
As members of an imperial clan, whenever the younger generation went out, even without a powerful expert accompanying them, they only had to reveal their imperial clan identity for the sect masters and clan leaders of the lesser forces below to bow and kneel in service to these imperial clan geniuses!
And when the younger generations of the various imperial clans sparred, they stopped as soon as a point was made.
To them, the scene before them now was nothing less than a complete overturning of their worldview.
It was too cruel!
"The Liu Imperial Clan is the greatest of the imperial clans, and it has more than three great perfection Emperor Realm experts. If you stop now, you can still escape this calamity. Otherwise, when the Liu Imperial Clan arrives, you Devil Emperors and these devil remnants will all die without intact corpses!"
Zhao Qianjun was held up by the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor, and the battle below had become completely one-sided.
At a time like this, Zhao Fengtian, as clan leader, could only wrap himself in the Liu Imperial Clan's tiger skin to frighten the devils.
"The Liu Imperial Clan? The Devil Emperor of All Living Beings, our emperor of all devils, has already gone there himself. The Devil Emperor of All Living Beings has broken through to Half-Step Immortal, and a mere Liu Imperial Clan dares dream of resisting? You still expect reinforcements from them? I'd say they can hardly save themselves now!"
Hearing this, the Devil Emperor with his foot on Zhao Fengtian could not help sneering.
"What? Half-Step Immortal?" Zhao Fengtian's face filled with disbelief when he heard this. He shook his head. "Impossible. The Black-Yellow Realm as it is now cannot possibly produce an immortal, not even a Half-Step Immortal!"
The Devil Emperor smiled. "How could a frog at the bottom of a well compare with our emperor?"
Seeing this, Zhao Fengtian's belief had already begun to waver, no matter how much disbelief he showed on the surface.
These Devil Emperors had no reason to lie about this.
Besides, that was the Devil Emperor of All Living Beings, who had struck the most fear into the hearts of all humans a hundred thousand years ago.
Given how extraordinary he was, perhaps he really could have surpassed the great perfection Emperor Realm and touched the realm of immortality!
"Uh..."
Those words undoubtedly extinguished the last hope of the Zhao Imperial Clan members who had still been waiting for reinforcements from the other imperial clans.
"Is our Zhao Imperial Clan finished?"
"Is the human race... finished?"
The same thought rose in the heart of every Zhao clansman still alive.
A hopeless situation!
In the void, Zhao Qianjun seemed to age a thousand years in that instant.
He left an opening, and the Blood Serpent Devil Emperor sent him flying with a lash of her snake tail. He crashed heavily to the ground not far from Zhao Fengtian.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the entire Zhao Imperial Clan fell into despair, several presences came speeding toward the floating island.
One of those presences actually bore the pressure of the Emperor Realm!
"Reinforcements! Hahaha! People from the other imperial clans have come to help! Our Zhao Clan is saved!"
