Chapter 2632: The Emperor’s Instrument Slipped Away
The Carefree Immortal Emperor handed four Space Immortal Rings to the immortal and gave a few more instructions like this and that.
When the immortal was first summoned by the Carefree Immortal Emperor, he was anxious, not knowing what would happen, but upon hearing that it was only to help, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the four Space Immortal Rings, flew away from afar, and then returned shortly after, handing the four rings to the Carefree Immortal Emperor, Redflame Empress, Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor, and Kuron Immortal Emperor respectively.
Because they couldn’t inspect them with Divine Sense, none of the four Immortal Emperors knew which Immortal Beast design was carved on the Immortal Stone inside the Space Immortal Rings they held.
After the four Immortal Emperors got the Space Immortal Rings, they almost simultaneously took out the Immortal Stones inside.
Once they saw the Immortal Beast design on the stones in their hands, their facial expressions varied, some were happy, some regretful, some disappointed, and some were silent.
"Heh... heh heh..."
The Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor glanced at the Immortal Stone in his hand, then grinned and smugly said to the other three Immortal Emperors, "I got the Azure Dragon Immortal Stone, looks like my luck is good!"
"Congratulations, Golden Eyes Immortal friend!"
The Kuron Immortal Emperor, who had always had a good relationship with the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor, clasped his fists and said.
The Carefree Immortal Emperor’s expression remained unchanged, still keeping a smile, while Redflame Empress’ face turned somewhat gloomy upon seeing Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor’s smug look.
It was rumored in the Immortal Realm that although the Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress were not Immortal partners, their relationship had always been ambiguous, and in all matters, they advanced and retreated together.
Amid the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor’s proud laughter, the Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress exchanged a quick glance, then their lips curled slightly, revealing a smile with ambiguous meaning.
"Golden Eyes Immortal friend, you please go first!"
The Carefree Immortal Emperor made a gesture of invitation, then exchanged a look with Redflame Empress, retreating a thousand feet together.
The Kuron Immortal Emperor hesitated for a moment, then retreated slightly as well.
The Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor’s gaze fell on the Blood Blade at Red Dawn Peak in the distance, his expression became solemn, and he urged the auspicious clouds under his feet, slowly approaching forward.
Emperor’s Instruments have spirits, if an immortal suddenly approaches, it will surely be attacked by it.
And the might of an Emperor’s Instrument is extraordinarily powerful, even an expert of the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor’s realm does not dare to be careless.
That Blood Blade Emperor’s Instrument is unlike ordinary Emperor’s Instruments, it is unknown how many immortals’ blood it has devoured to release such strong Evil Qi.
It stands tilted on the mountaintop, the blade emitting countless scarlet beams, like a proud Immortal Emperor clad in a blood garment, daring anyone who approaches to be cut down under it.
"Come to me!"
The Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor stopped his advance when he was still a hundred zhang from the Blood Blade, his eyes shot bright beams, and with a loud shout, he summoned an Immortal Qi Palm to grasp fiercely at the Blood Blade.
Wherever the Immortal Qi Palm passed, the void trembled violently, waves surged, producing a deafening roaring sonic boom, the momentum was terrifying.
The Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress both widened their eyes, clutching their fists tightly, secretly gathering strength.
If the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor doesn’t get the Blood Blade, so be it, but if he does, they will strike together with a fierce attack to seize the Blood Blade.
The Kuron Immortal Emperor squinted slightly, also quietly gathering power, if the Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress made a move against the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor, he would not stand by.
To the Kuron Immortal Emperor, if the Blood Blade is taken by the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor, he would also be displeased, but it’s better than the Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress getting it.
Additionally, the Kuron Immortal Emperor and Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor had secretly reached a mutual defense alliance, promising that whoever among them got the Blood Blade, would provide substantial help to the other in the future.
Under the gaze of all immortals, the Immortal Qi Palm condensed by the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor quickly extended into the vast scarlet light emitted by the Blood Blade, seemingly about to seize the Blood Blade.
However, unexpectedly, just as the Immortal Qi Palm of the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor was about to touch the Blood Blade, it suddenly transformed into a dazzling crimson beam, shooting toward the distant horizon, disappearing from the immortals’ sight in an instant.
"That Emperor’s Instrument... ran off on its own..."
"Emperor’s Instruments have spirits, it means it does not wish to recognize the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor as its master!"
"In other words, the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor is not fated to have this Emperor’s Instrument!"
"Then next, it will be the Kuron Immortal Emperor’s turn to try and seize it!"
"The attribute of the Kuron Immortal Emperor’s body does not match that of the Blood Blade, I don’t think he has a chance either..."
"I think the Carefree Immortal Emperor or the Redflame Empress might have the hope to get the Blood Blade!"
....
The Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor was momentarily stunned, failing to grasp the Blood Blade, and then he heard the discussion of the immortals around him.
"Damn it!"
Hearing those voices, the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor felt both embarrassed and furious, his Immortal Qi Palm grabbed an immortal and slightly squeezed, the immortal was immediately crushed to pieces.
Seeing the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor lose his temper, the immortals were all startled and dared not to speak again.
"Seems like that Emperor’s Instrument is not easy to subdue! Let me try!"
The Kuron Immortal Emperor said, stepping towards the direction where the Blood Blade disappeared.
In one step, he covered several hundred li, his figure vanishing from the original spot instantly.
"Let’s go have a look too!"
The Carefree Immortal Emperor and Redflame Empress, as if having a tacit understanding, turned into two streaks of light, chasing after the Blood Blade left behind by the Evil Qi, at a speed not slower than that of the Kuron Immortal Emperor.
"Without me, even if Kuron got the Blood Blade, I’m afraid he wouldn’t hold onto it!"
The Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor murmured to himself, stomping his foot in frustration, and chased after the three Immortal Emperors.
In the blink of an eye, the four Immortal Emperors left Red Dawn Mountain with the Blood Blade, leaving no trace.
Among the million immortals gathered at Red Dawn Mountain, after a moment of commotion, some sighed and left, while others followed the aura left by the four Immortal Emperors, wanting to see into whose hands the Blood Blade Emperor’s Instrument would eventually fall.
Some Immortal Emperor Realm experts held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking that if by some chance the Blood Blade "dismissed" the four Immortal Emperors, wouldn’t they have a chance?
When the Blood Blade flew away from Red Dawn Peak, far tens of thousands of li away, Fang Bai was setting up an Emperor Rank Concealment Formation in a dense forest of mountains and rivers; he also concealed his aura, hiding within the formation.
Shortly after, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade shot through the sky and immediately entered his Concealment Formation, being taken into his Sea of Consciousness.
At the same instant, Fang Bai executed the Earth Escape Technique, his body dived deep underground into an underground river, swiftly fleeing like a fish towards the distance.
Only a few breaths after Fang Bai disappeared, the Kuron Immortal Emperor first, followed by the Carefree Immortal Emperor, Redflame Empress, and the Golden Eyes Immortal Emperor appeared one after another in the void where the Blood Blade had vanished.
"That Blood Blade suddenly just disappeared?"
Suspended in the void, the Kuron Immortal Emperor’s Divine Sense covered a radius of ten thousand miles, his eyes fixed on the spot where the Blood Blade disappeared, with a look of confusion on his face.
