Chapter 690 A Bloodbath Imminent!
"Um?"
Emperor Lie looked at Emperor Ba, whose lips were curled in a grin and whose dragon eyes were filled with murderous intent. His brows furrowed slightly at first, then relaxed, and he said with a hint of mockery and disdain, "Emperor Ba, do you know who you're talking to? Do you know what time it is? You want to take revenge on me? You think you can? What a joke!"
"While I'm not paying attention to you right now, hurry up and get to the front lines to break through the defenses with the Abyss Army. After I've subdued the Douluo Plane, I'll deal with you properly!"
Having said that, Emperor Lie's dark red eyes shifted away from Emperor Ba.
Ba Huang was merely an Abyss King who had voluntarily joined his ranks; in Ba Huang's eyes, he was just a servant. Now, he actually wanted to devour his master and seek revenge—it was utterly ridiculous.
If it weren't for the Tree of Life standing before him, he would have punished Emperor Ba long ago.
Moreover, Ba Huang has been delusional in seeking an opportunity to break through to the level of "Emperor," which is utterly foolish.
In the entire Abyss Plane, there can only be ten Abyss Emperors. This is an unspoken rule maintained by each Abyss Emperor, since having an extra Emperor means taking away a portion of their resources.
Furthermore, this rule was tacitly approved by the Abyss Saint King, or perhaps it could be said that it was controlled by the Abyss Saint King.
After all, how could an Abyss King possibly escape the eyes of the Abyss Saint King if he wanted to advance to the next level? But in the past six thousand years, apart from Emperor Ba who desperately devoured a god-level dragon corpse, no other Abyss King has advanced in cultivation.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Just as Emperor Lie turned around, preparing to grab the Tree of Life again, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. Immediately afterwards, Emperor Lie felt a gust of evil wind coming from behind him, and the surrounding space was instantly filled with cold dark power, trying to envelop him and completely devour him!
"You bastard!"
Emperor Lie's eyes were filled with shock and rage. His violent and powerful dark red divine power instantly poured into the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd in his right hand. The scarlet patterns on the halberd's handle lit up, emitting a unique intent that could annihilate everything in the world.
Emperor Lie twisted his body, wielding the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd in his right hand and slashing at the figure behind him with the force of splitting a mountain. In an instant, a dark red light slashed out like a bloodline. Although the range of the slash was not wide, the space in the area it passed through was completely torn apart!
"Clang!"
The moment the halberd flashed, a dragon claw covered in jet-black scales reached behind Emperor Lie. The instant the two collided, two waves of black and dark red energy suddenly crashed together, unleashing a deafening friction sound.
"Pfft!"
But the two were only locked in a stalemate for a moment. The dark red halberd light, like a sickle harvesting wheat, crushed the hard dragon scales on the dragon's claw with a clang. The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd was embedded fiercely into the dragon's claw, splashing out thick green blood!
Emperor Lie raised his eyes to look at Emperor Ba, whose eyes were filled with murderous intent and madness, and roared in shock and anger, "Emperor Ba, you lowly thing, what do you want to do—"
But before Emperor Lie could finish speaking, Emperor Ba stepped forward again, ignoring the fact that his right hand was embedded in the bone marrow by the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd, and with lightning speed, pulled out his right palm and struck Emperor Lie.
"Pfft!"
"Snapped!"
The next instant, as Ba Huang moved forward, his left hand was instantly severed by the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, blood splattering everywhere, his hand making a hissing sound as it flew through the air from the halberd's sharp edge.
But then, a loud voice rang out.
Ba Huang's hand had already slapped Lie Di across the face!
For a moment, the surroundings fell into dead silence.
Emperor Lie felt a burning pain on his face. His eyes were first dazed, then filled with disbelief, and soon these emotions turned into anger.
"How dare you slap this emperor!"
"How dare you? How dare you!"
Emperor Lie was furious, his chest heaving.
For an Abyss King, whom he regarded as a servant, to dare delete him was an utter disgrace to him!
At the same time, a question arose in his mind: who gave Emperor Ba the courage?
Does Ba Huang not want to stay in the Abyss anymore?
Ba Huang grinned, shook his hand, and leaned forward slightly, revealing a comfortable smile.
He had endured for so long, and now he could finally take revenge himself!
"Your Majesty, you deserve to die! Not only have you committed treason, but you have also disrupted the morale of the army. I will execute you now to inform the soldiers who died on the front lines!"
Even if His Majesty the Holy Emperor knew, he would approve of my actions!
Emperor Lie's eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily. In an instant, he came up with a crime to pin on Emperor Ba.
He would still label him first before taking action, so that the Abyss Saint King wouldn't blame him.
"Abyss Saint Lord? I have never needed to explain my actions to others. Today, I will only kill you!"
Ba Huang twisted his neck, and his enormous heart began to pound, booming like a war drum. His severed hand also began to grow back rapidly, and a powerful pressure swept out instantly.
He no longer concealed his hidden cultivation level!
A quasi-god on the verge of becoming a god!
If we were to use the terminology from the Abyss Plane, the current Emperor Ba would already possess the strength of an "Emperor"!
"Huh? You betrayed the Abyss!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Lie was initially startled, but his anger quickly turned to ruthlessness.
As an emperor who has one foot in the realm of gods, he doesn't care about the life or death of ordinary abyss kings. The fact that Emperor Ba has now betrayed the abyss plane gives him another reason to kill him.
However, he was very interested in how Ba Huang broke through to the "Emperor" level.
Looking at Ba Huang's hand, which had returned to normal, Lie Di sneered.
"Emperor Ba, your [Regeneration] talent is useless in front of my Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd. I only held back in that attack just now, which is why your hand was able to recover so quickly. You don't really think you can kill me, do you?"
Ba Huang's greatest strength lies in his powerful physique, which comes from his regeneration talent. However, his Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd ignores defense and also has a god-level effect of blocking healing.
This is the biggest nemesis for Ba Huang.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Ba touched the hideous scar on his face, the humiliating mark left on him by Emperor Lie with the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd.
But today is the day to end all of this!
"Your Heavenly Saint Abyss-Splitting Halberd? Heh—die!"
Ba Huang's black dragon wings fluttered, and his ferocious dragon horns on his head instantly emerged. Cold, dark air currents swirled around him, and his heart pounded violently, making it sound like the booming of war drums.
"Clang!"
The fierce dragon claws tore through space, heading straight for Emperor Lie's head, and the vast dragon might instantly squeezed out the space for Emperor Lie to move around like a tidal wave.
"You dare to show off your meager skills before an expert! Netherworld Purgatory Slash!"
Emperor Lie's killing intent solidified into a tangible form, and his surging divine power soared into the sky, sweeping away the surrounding dragon might. The Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd swept everything away with wide, sweeping away Emperor Ba's fierce dragon claws with two strikes and stabbing straight at Emperor Ba's chest.
Emperor Lie knew that Ba Huang's heart could be transferred to any part of his body, but once he opened Ba Huang's stomach, the beating heart would no longer be able to be hidden!
Upon seeing this, Ba Huang's eyes flashed with a dark light. He neither dodged nor avoided the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd piercing his chest, while his two dragon claws, carrying terrifying devouring power, once again headed towards the head of the Fierce Emperor.
"Hmph! Idiot! You really think you're invincible after breaking through to the 'Emperor' realm? Or do you think the Heavenly Saint Rift Halberd favors you?"
"I won't kill you?"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Lie couldn't help but smile smugly. He had indeed held back the first time, but this time he wouldn't. He was determined to make Emperor Ba pay the price he deserved!
