Chapter 846 - 841: I Am Invincible!!!
"It’s an avatar of the Black Emperor."
Bai Pu said, "Xiyuan Zhang, it seems that the demon ’Hundred Eyes’ wasn’t a demon slave you subdued, but on the contrary... It’s a demon transformed from the Black Emperor’s avatar, and you’re its slave."
Thinking about all the movements and actions taken were under the Black Emperor’s watchful gaze, everyone shivered involuntarily.
"Attack!" Beiming Jihu, despite his wounded and fatigued body, thrust his sword forward.
However, the Black Emperor’s avatar suddenly became illusory, transforming into a water wave form of demonic power.
Then the water wave abruptly reversed, passing through the water curtain of the Black Heaven Palace, and escaped by sliding along the ground.
Everyone chased after, rushing through the water curtain.
"Heh heh... Welcome to Black Heaven Palace!"
A classic villainous laugh echoed.
Their steps halted.
Beyond the water curtain was a vast and simplistic palace.
In the wide open land, quietly stood a black giant ten meters tall.
This black giant surprisingly had four faces! Each on the front, back, left, and right.
The front face was pulsating water, its eyes lively, scanning everyone with malice. The villainous laughter and welcoming words just now emanated from the mouth of the front face.
The rear face, visible when the black giant occasionally turned, was a fiery human face, eyes tightly shut, as if in slumber.
The left face gleamed with the thick luster of obsidian, spewing vulgar curses: "Black Emperor, you despicable scoundrel..."
This voice was all too familiar to everyone, unmistakably the voice of Emperor Yan.
The right face, hair green like leaves, face brown and wrinkled like bark. Bai Pu had seen this face before; it was Emperor Qing!
Thus, the identity of the "rear face" naturally emerged—it was the Red Emperor, sleeping after death.
"The front face Black Emperor, the rear face Red Emperor, the left face Emperor Yan, the right face Emperor Qing. The Four Great Demon Emperors unite as the central consciousness of Great Dark Heaven."
Bai Pu said slowly, "It looks like the Black Emperor has suppressed Emperor Yan and seized control of the Black Heaven Shell."
The left face Emperor Yan furiously said: "You bunch of insects helped the Black Emperor greatly!"
"Enough, the defeated don’t get to speak."
The front face Black Emperor used some method, forbidding the left face Emperor Yan’s speech.
The Black Emperor then looked at Bai Pu.
"Heh heh."
"Gangxin, we meet again. Thank you for breaking the Crystal Celestial Pillar, destroying that fool Emperor Yan’s Source of Demon Power. At this moment, I, the Black Emperor, am the biggest winner at Black Heaven Palace!"
After the Black Emperor delivered his victory speech, he was still unsatisfied, looking at Bai Pu:
"Why did you escape from the Crystal Throne? Staying in the Crystal Throne would have allowed you to linger on for a while. Coming to Black Heaven Palace is a path to doom!
"Witness my power!"
The Black Emperor—or Great Dark Heaven—raised his arms with sudden might, and an overwhelming force surged like a tidal wave!
Behind Great Dark Heaven, four totem dharma aspects rose.
A wooden dragon of wind breath, a phoenix bird of fire lotus, a white beast treading water, and a profound turtle carrying mountains.
"How could this be?" The human coalition martial artists were dumbfounded.
These four totem dharma aspects were all too familiar to the Ghost Warriors.
It was clearly the totems passed down by ancestors of the four great oaths—
Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise!
"The power of the Four Symbols gathered into one. I am now more formidable than the Demon Ancestor a millennium ago! Yet you descendants are far less united than back then."
Great Dark Heaven seemed to be testing his own power; with a gentle flick of his finger, the Cyan Dragon totem lit up, and the wind roared. The invisible and shapeless Wind Blade sliced through the entire grand hall of Black Heaven Palace!
Columns, walls—each section was cut as smooth as a mirror, leaving Dongbo Chengzhi in astonishment.
The Vermilion Bird totem then lit up, and the scorching heat turned stones red, crumbling them inch by inch into ashes, making Zhu Que sigh in defeat.
Next, the White Tiger totem flashed, water currents washed away the debris and ashes that had become ruins.
Finally, the Black Tortoise totem lit up; Great Dark Heaven let out a sinister laugh, and smashed a fist into the ground! The earth shook, raising the ground beneath everyone’s feet, eventually forming a kilometer-wide, arena-like circular platform!
Great Dark Heaven stood at the center of the circular arena.
"This animation is impressive." Bai Pu smiled as he said.
"You can still laugh..." Several Awakened teammates shook their heads in speechlessness.
Just now, Great Dark Heaven displayed power, every gesture akin to a natural disaster-level force.
Under his terrifying might, the coalition martial artists’ morale was low.
"How could this be? How can the ancestral totems appear on you? How can you wield the Power of the Four Symbols?" Zhu Que murmured.
Great Dark Heaven sinisterly laughed: "A thousand years ago, the ancestors of the four great oaths found the Power of the Four Symbols, each creating a lineage, forming Four Symbols totems... Although they defeated me, they couldn’t kill me!
"Thus, they chose to split my consciousness into four, using their own bodies as vessels to seal my four fragmented consciousness."
Bai Pu listened more and more feeling it was off, the plot was cliché.
"Then... the ancestors of the four great oaths fell? Become demons?"
Bai Pu’s words drew angry glares from many Oath Warriors.
Great Dark Heaven gloomily laughed: "They were human, and humans have weaknesses. Even if their will was strong in youth, they inevitably age.
"Thus, my four consciousness awoke within the bodies of the four great oath ancestors, becoming the Four Great Demon Emperors.
"I still remember their names, which were also once mine... Emperor Qing Dongbo Yue People, Black Emperor Xiyuan Bo, Red Emperor Zhu Xuan, Emperor Yan Beiming Guicang!
"Thus, when consciousness returns, I am the gathering of the Four Great Demon Emperors, also the gathering of the four great oath ancestors, and even the gathering of the Power of the Four Symbols!
"I now possess both demon and oath warrior strength! I AM INVINCIBLE!!"
With every name Great Dark Heaven spoke, the leaders of the four great oaths paled more.
Because the ancestral books from their heritage recorded the names of the four ancient oath ancestors.
—No wonder, within the White Dragon Fang found by Dongbo Chengzhi, there was the memory of the Cyan Dragon Oath Ancestor... Turns out it was Emperor Qing who imbued it with those memories. Does this mean Emperor Qing Dongbo Yue People retained some humanity, intentionally leaving something for the World Protagonist Dongbo Chengzhi?
Bai Pu thought this, then frowned at the bound-up Xiyuan Zhang.
—Turns out the Black Emperor is Xiyuan Bo, the ancestor of the Xiyuan Family. No wonder Xiyuan Zhang would side with the Black Emperor...
Xiyuan Zhang panted heavily, looking up at Great Dark Heaven: "Ancestor, save me!"
"Save you? Heh heh, become a part of me! You will achieve immortality!"
The Black Emperor face of Great Dark Heaven issued a villainous sinister laugh.
The invisible water wave demonic power suddenly surged from the ground, brutally injected into Xiyuan Zhang’s body.
Xiyuan Zhang seemed to have had his energy and spirit drained, his body rapidly shriveled, eventually fully absorbed, leaving only his clothes behind.
