488: Emperor-slaying ghost blood blade! Xiao Xuan is in danger! The strange fire square appears!

Above the sky, a Blood Blade stood in mid-air.

The terrifying aura emanating from it made onlookers tremble with fear.

“The Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer! The legendary item has actually appeared…”

A memory flashed through Gu Yuan’s mind, containing words he had once read in the ancient clan’s ancestral records.

Those words had described the Blood Blade slaying an Emperor.

At that time, the fall of a Dou Di shocked the continent.

“Help! The Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer is incredibly terrifying, Xiao Xuan might not be able to stop it.”

Gu Yuan flung out his right hand, and a colorful Ancient Emperor Mirror appeared, soaring into the sky and quickly transforming into a massive mirror several thousand feet wide.

“Brother Xiao, I’ll use the Ancient Emperor Mirror to help you consume some of its power as much as possible.”

Gu Yuan shouted loudly.

Although this Ancient Emperor Mirror was also an Emperor item, it was not wielded by a Dou Di, so the power it could display was far inferior to the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer wielded by Soul Emperor.

“Many thanks.”

Xiao Xuan nodded at him, his expression tight, without a smile, as the sky behind him shifted and changed.

Amidst the shifting clouds, a giant object was faintly discernible.

“A broken mirror wants to stop me?!”

Soul Emperor said with disdain, raising his right hand high and then bringing it down sharply, “Go!”

Buzz!

The hiltless Blood Blade vibrated continuously, emitting a sharp, explosive roar.

Like a teleportation, it vanished from its original spot and appeared directly in front of the Ancient Emperor Mirror.

The Blood Blade struck the mirror surface, and a dazzling light erupted, as if a brilliant sun had risen again in this world.

“Will it work?”

Lei Ying, Yan Jin, and the others clenched their fists nervously, enduring the stinging in their eyeballs as they continued to gaze at the bright light.

In less than a breath, a faint sound could be heard.

Crack, crack… Crrrack, crrrack, crrrack!

Initially, the sound was faint, though dense, it wasn't violent.

However.

In just an instant, the sound became rapid and loud, like ice being violently struck by a heavy object, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable burden.

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosive roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

Gu Yuan’s face instantly flushed red, his body staggered backward, and a large mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his mouth.

His face was pale, “The Ancient Emperor Mirror is shattered.”

“That fast?”

Yan Jin looked horrified, “What about the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer? Has it weakened?”

Under countless gazes, the Blood Blade rushed out of the light, its speed undiminished, its momentum mighty as it continued to charge towards Xiao Xuan.

Wherever the Blood Blade passed, the Void Realm seemed like a painting being cut open, revealing a fissure.

The giant object behind Xiao Xuan emerged; it was a strangely shaped weapon, directly meeting the Blood Blade head-on.

After the two collided, they became locked in a stalemate, as if a pause button had been pressed.

“Xiao Xuan, you think you can stop my Emperor Slayer Blade with such trash?”

Soul Emperor’s lips curled into a sneer, and he pressed his right hand forward sharply.

The Blood Blade seemed to receive a command, and its bloody light intensified.

Boom!

The means Xiao Xuan employed completely exploded, transforming into pure energy and merging into the world.

The Blood Blade continued its advance, and in a blink of an eye, it arrived before Xiao Xuan.

Swish!

A large expanse of blood mist erupted in the sky, and a torrential downpour cascaded towards the ground, but the color of this rain was a dazzling crimson.

The Blood Blade returned to the top of Soul Emperor’s head.

“The Blood Blade is too sharp!”

Looking at his missing left arm, Xiao Xuan’s expression was still calm, because his arm could be easily restored, and it was not a hindrance.

But the worry in his eyes was almost tangible, unable to dissipate.

If he couldn't stop Soul Emperor’s Blood Blade, then no matter how many arms he recovered, it would be useless.

“How does it feel? How’s the taste of the Emperor Slayer Blade? You might dodge the first time, but you might not dodge the second time. This time it’s your arm, next it will definitely be your head.”

Soul Emperor sneered.

As soon as his voice fell, he waved his hand again, and the Blood Blade charged out once more.

The bloody glow streaked across the sky like a magnificent meteor, but the danger contained within it was many times stronger than any so-called meteor or asteroid.

“It’s over.”

Gu Yuan’s eyes filled with sorrow upon seeing this scene; earlier, he had at least helped to block it for an instant.

But Xiao Xuan still had an arm severed.

This time, the Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer had no obstruction whatsoever.

“Soul Emperor is too ruthless; he actually started planning a thousand years ago. We can only admit defeat.”

Yan Jin sighed.

To snatch the emperor pill from Soul Emperor’s hands was already their greatest victory.

But who could have imagined that Soul Emperor would be so lucky as to even Breakthrough to Dou Di?

Now, coupled with this Blood Blade condensed by the Formation, even if Lin Xiu appeared, he wouldn't be able to turn the tide.

“We shouldn’t have hesitated back then. If it weren’t for being distracted by the emperor pill, if we had gone all out, there would have been a great chance to kill Soul Emperor.”

Lei Ying’s voice was filled with weariness, and a hint of regret appeared on his face.

He had thought Soul Emperor would be like a defeated dog, surviving on the continent, but who would have thought he would rise again so quickly?

Yao Dan and Shi Chen remained silent, their expressions heavy.

Gazing at the rapidly approaching Blood Blade, a resolute glint suddenly flashed in Xiao Xuan’s eyes. His Dou Qi boiled within him, and Soul Power surged forth, condensing into a phantom image that appeared behind him.

“If I’m destined to lose, then I won’t just lose like this. At the very least, I must drag him down with me, leaving both of us heavily injured.”

Xiao Xuan took a deep breath, deciding to burn himself.

He ignited his own Soul and Dou Qi, putting all his strength into a desperate struggle with Soul Emperor!

However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, before he could act, a huge crack suddenly opened in the Void Realm before him.

Rumble!

Inside the pitch-black passage, a deafening roar erupted, and then a huge plaza rushed out.

On both sides of the plaza stood numerous stone pillars.

“Alien Flame Plaza?!”

Xiao Xuan recognized it at a glance, somewhat surprised.

Because this thing was not summoned by him; he hadn't even thought about it.

Could it be Senior Zhu Kun?

Xiao Xuan thought of him first, but Zhu Kun was still fighting that blood shadow at the moment, and probably had no time to attend to this place.

Then who could it be?

At the same time.

Gu Yuan also saw this scene and let out a puzzled sound, “Who moved the plaza here?”

“Yes, isn’t this the plaza in the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode? I remember there used to be Alien Flames on those pillars, but now they’re all gone.”

Yan Jin frowned.

Lei Ying asked doubtfully, “What good can a broken plaza do? Can it really stop Soul Emperor’s Blood Blade with this? What a joke.”

“Do you think it could be Lin Xiu’s doing?”

Yao Dan said.

Shi Chen immediately agreed, “I think that’s possible. Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun has no time to deal with this right now, and besides Lin Xiu, who hasn’t shown up, no one seems to know the Ancient Emperor Cave Abode as well as he does.”

“If it really is Lin Xiu’s doing, then what does he mean? Can this plaza really stop it?”

Gu Yuan showed a trace of astonishment.

Because they had all walked on this plaza when they entered the stone palace.

They hadn't found anything special about this plaza.

Compared to the terrifying Blood Blade of the Emperor Slayer, this plaza was too simple; besides emanating a trace of ancient Qi, it had no outstanding features.

“Alien Flame Plaza?”

Soul Emperor was first startled when he saw the object that suddenly rushed out, then his expression became strange, “Lin Xiu, are you playing tricks in the dark? You coward, aren’t you brave enough to come out and face me?”
