Chapter 2691: You Are the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor!
Since it was confirmed that the Hundred Flowers Empress and the Great Luo Immortal Emperor were within the mysterious Demon Emperor’s Demon Realm space, Fang Bai held nothing back and launched a full-force attack against the mysterious Demon Emperor.
He knew that killing the mysterious Demon Emperor was extremely difficult, so every attack targeted the mysterious Demon Emperor’s left arm.
As long as he could cut off the mysterious Demon Emperor’s left arm, he would obtain the Spatial Demon Ring and rescue the Great Luo Immortal Emperor and the Hundred Flowers Empress.
Though the Spatial Demon Ring was engraved with intricate and complex array runes, to Fang Bai, unlocking them should not pose a problem.
"Where did you get that Great Cauldron and this Blood Blade?"
The mysterious Demon Emperor saw that Fang Bai’s Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and Blood-Drinking Mad Blade both faintly emanated a hint of Divine Power and couldn’t help but feel surprised, his blood-red pupils flickering with strange light.
In his eyes, Divine Artifacts were neither things of the Immortal Realm nor controlled by Immortals. Yet, this Immortal, who possessed merely a Quasi-Emperor cultivation level, not only had two Divine Artifacts but could also control them simultaneously. This greatly exceeded his expectations.
Fang Bai ignored the mysterious Demon Emperor and swung the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade more fiercely.
The mysterious Demon Emperor, facing the reckless attacks of Fang Bai and hundreds of Immortal Birds and Immortal Beasts, found it difficult since he couldn’t use the Heaven Devouring Pot for battle.
Although he coveted Fang Bai’s Five Elements Origin Qi Cauldron and Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, he knew obtaining them wasn’t easy.
Moreover, his primary purpose for coming was the Great Emperor Pill within this Barrier, and seizing Divine Artifacts was secondary.
To him, as long as he obtained the Great Emperor Pill and significantly boosted his power, he could easily destroy this Quasi-Emperor before him, and his two Divine Artifacts would be his.
"Do you think I fear you just because you have two Divine Artifacts?"
The mysterious Demon Emperor shouted, drawing back Fang Bai and the numerous Immortal Birds and Beast’s siege. Then, with a wave of his left hand, the Spatial Demon Ring on his finger flickered.
The next moment, a Demon Clan expert with a lifeless expression, vacant eyes, and no signs of life appeared beside the mysterious Demon Emperor.
"Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse!"
Fang Bai sensed a trace of Emperor’s might from the suddenly appearing Demon Clan expert, realizing it was an Emperor Realm expert refined into a Puppet Corpse, and involuntarily gasped.
Refining an Emperor Realm expert into a Puppet Corpse was something even his past self couldn’t achieve. Unexpectedly, the mysterious Demon Emperor’s Puppet Corpse refining ability was far superior to his own, which was truly astonishing.
With the appearance of the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse, Fang Bai knew defeating the mysterious Demon Emperor in this battle would become even more difficult.
"Kill!"
With a loud shout from the mysterious Demon Emperor, the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse immediately engaged in battle with the surrounding Immortal Birds and Beasts.
The mysterious Demon Emperor sneered coldly and began to attack Fang Bai with full force.
Fang Bai, without the aid of the numerous Immortal Birds and Beasts, could only rely on the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade for assistance in battle, being suppressed once again by the mysterious Demon Emperor.
On the other side, the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse, fearless of death, fought more frantically than those Immortal Birds and Beasts, causing many to fall under its relentless attacks.
Fang Bai knew that once the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse dealt with all the Immortal Birds and Beasts, it would join forces with the mysterious Demon Emperor to attack him.
By then, he would be in an unprecedented perilous situation, making escape nearly impossible.
"You have Puppet Corpses, so do I!"
Fang Bai gritted his teeth and released over a dozen Puppet Corpses from his Five Elements Space Ring at once.
However, his Puppet Corpses had varying strengths, with the strongest being of Immortal Emperor Realm Peak cultivation level, and others at high and mid-levels of Immortal Emperor Realm.
If Fang Bai could spare his mind to control these Puppet Corpses to form an Emperor Rank Formation, they might stand against the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse.
But now, Fang Bai was firmly suppressed by the mysterious Demon Emperor, having to devote his full attention to the fight, making it difficult to multitask. He could only rely on those Puppet Corpses to fight on their own.
The dozen or so Immortal Emperor Realm Puppets, unable to form a formation, naturally couldn’t unleash strong combat power. After entering the battle, they only slowed the Emperor Realm Puppet Corpse’s slaughter of Immortal Birds and Beasts, unable to change the battle’s course.
However, the mysterious Demon Emperor, discovering that Fang Bai could also refine Puppet Corpses, was even more astonished than Fang Bai.
"You little Immortal are indeed extraordinary! Since I reborn after the takeover, I’ve seen many geniuses from the Immortal Realm, but never have I encountered such an outstanding Immortal as you! Haha...I increasingly want to capture you alive and feast on your blood!"
The mysterious Demon Emperor’s eyes lit up as he looked at Fang Bai.
Fang Bai had always believed that the mysterious Demon Emperor’s true identity was a descendant of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor from millions of years ago. But hearing his phrase "since I reborn" made his brain buzz.
"You’re not a descendant of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor?"
Fang Bai dealt with the various Mystical Arts imposed by the mysterious Demon Emperor while shouting loudly.
The mysterious Demon Emperor laughed heartily, "In the Three Realms, who is qualified to be my descendant? One day, I will return to the Divine Realm and achieve an eternal undying body! Since I’m undying, why need descendants?"
From these words, Fang Bai gathered a lot of information, leaving him shocked and speechless for a moment.
It turns out, this mysterious Demon Emperor was not a descendant of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, but the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor himself!
Furthermore, like himself, this Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was not the original body but had undergone rebirth through possession!
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor disappeared millions of years ago without a trace; could it be that he entered the Divine Realm from the Immortal Realm?
Could those Great Emperor Realm experts who vanished in the Three Realms’ legends have also reached the Divine Realm?
Could the legendary Divine Realm truly exist?
And in the Divine Realm, is it really possible to achieve an eternal undying body?
Regarding the Divine Realm and the eternal undying body, Fang Bai had heard something when he reached the Emperor Realm in the past and was filled with longing.
Unfortunately, a thousand years ago, when his cultivation reached the peak of the Emperor Realm, he was besieged by eight top Immortal Emperors and fell.
Otherwise, in those thousand years, with his remarkable talent and aptitude, he might have had the chance to step into the Great Emperor Realm and pursue the legendary Divine Realm!
These thoughts flashed through Fang Bai’s mind before he fully devoted himself to the battle with the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor.
Though the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s fame had shaken the Three Realms millions of years ago, now, like himself, he was not at his peak. Even if he could comprehensively suppress Fang Bai, Fang Bai was not fearful.
"So, you are the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, truly renowned for your name! To battle the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, who once dominated the Three Realms, today is a great honor!"
Fang Bai laughed heartily, feeling a surge of heroism.
The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was surprised Fang Bai seemed young but knew of him, laughing, "I didn’t expect this little Immortal to have heard of my name!"
