285: Chapter 285 Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, You're Celebrating Too Soon

Xiao Ting stopped and looked into the distance.

Ahead, continuous, towering mountain peaks floated in the sky, while below was a vast land covered in bottomless cracks, like black dragons crawling there.

With just a glance, Xiao Ting could feel how chaotic the aura within those cracks was, and the rules filling them were completely disordered.

Even if a Heavenly Supreme powerhouse came, they probably wouldn't be able to continue forward.

And this was the residual power of a battle between powerhouses that hadn't recovered even after ten thousand years.

Xiao Ting had no intention of facing these torrents head-on, so he immediately cast Flying Body Tracing.

My body becomes the universe, the universe is me, master of the void.

The so-called pressure, the so-called torrents, could not harm him in the slightest.

His figure began to constantly weave through those huge mountains, and their true images appeared in his eyes.

Each of these mountains was an independent land of tombstones, and within each tombstone was an independent space.

Not long after, Xiao Ting found the target of his trip, and his body entered one of the mountains.

The surrounding world suddenly changed.

Appearing before Xiao Ting was a spacious plaza.

On the huge plaza, a towering figure stood.

Just standing there quietly, an indescribable, incomparably powerful aura permeated the air.

Under this aura, Xiao Ting felt his own insignificance, the kind of insignificance of a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

But now, in the state of casting Flying Body Tracing, Xiao Ting arrived in an instant before this man dressed in green robes.

This person had a handsome appearance and a magnificent physique; he was truly a supreme being of the human realm who transcended the Great Thousand World and touched the laws.

The place where he stood seemed to be an independent, special space; when one's gaze or soul power focused on it, one would find it randomly shifting and twisting.

Xiao Ting revealed his true form, then raised his hand to release Mandala. The moment she saw the Heavenly Emperor, she was struck as if by lightning, her face filled with shock: "Heavenly Emperor... Father!"

Xiao Ting shifted his gaze to the Heavenly Emperor's hand, which was gripping a longsword that seemed to be crafted entirely from crystal.

The shape of this longsword was extremely archaic; it couldn't even be called a sword, but rather a rough, unsharpened sword embryo that hadn't been fully forged.

But in fact, this sword was already a Saint-Rank Peerless Sacred Object, standing at the pinnacle of magic treasures and divine objects in the Great Thousand World; if it could act autonomously, it could easily suppress an ordinary Heavenly Supreme.

At this moment, sporadic sword qi on the Heavenly Emperor Sword transformed into cold light and spread out, causing the surrounding space to tremble, as if it were filled with a complete world.

This Heavenly Emperor Sword was in the Heavenly Emperor's hand, its tip plunged into a pitch-black skull about half a zhang in size at the Heavenly Emperor's feet.

This skull was extremely hideous and completely decayed, pitch-black with extreme evil, emitting waves of chilling cold.

Seeing this skull, both Mandala and Xiao Ting felt an instinctive sense of loathing and evil.

Looking at this scene alone, one would probably think that the Heavenly Emperor had perished together with the Heavenly Demon Emperor who invaded the Ancient Heavenly Palace back then, and that the Heavenly Emperor had the slight upper hand, only to ultimately sacrifice himself.

"Stop."

Seeing Mandala wanting to attack that pitch-black skull, Xiao Ting immediately reached out to stop her.

"If you really attack, you will destroy the Heavenly Emperor's hard work today."

Even with the Heavenly Demon Emperor there, Xiao Ting was not afraid at all, because he had the void compass and could instantly teleport to a safe place.

But if the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, who had two hearts, were allowed to escape, then that scoundrel would have the chance to completely revive, and the Heavenly Emperor would have died in vain back then.

"What do you mean!?" Mandala was broken out in a cold sweat.

With strength reaching her level, such a situation was almost impossible.

"This pitch-black skull is actually the Heavenly Emperor, and the phantom of the Heavenly Emperor holding the sword in front of you is transformed by the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor," Xiao Ting explained: "They are currently in a stalemate. Although the Heavenly Emperor is slightly inferior, he can still manage to take the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor down with him when he falls."

"If you attack and break this balance, you will give the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor a chance to escape!"

In the original trajectory, Lu Heng sacrificed the flesh and blood of several Earth Supremes to help the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor escape.

"What!?" Mandala's small face changed abruptly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the Heavenly Emperor's figure and the huge skull.

Xiao Ting chuckled softly, raised his hand to condense the Purple Heaven Flame, and pointed it at the pitch-black skull.

It was not an attack, but a power carrying many origins and replenishing effects, carrying the source of thunder punishment and fire, but most importantly, carrying a trace of the Great Thousand World's might.

The might of the Great Thousand World would not mistake a Heavenly Supreme for a Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

From the pitch-black skull, a strange, pitch-black aura emanated.

A vast fluctuation emanated from it, along with a hearty laugh: "Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor, your schemes have ultimately failed before the geniuses of our Great Thousand World."

Before Xiao Ting and the other, the two figures began to twist.

The Heavenly Emperor transformed into a demonic, pitch-black Demon Emperor.

And that pitch-black skull transformed into a jade-like skull.

On the Heavenly Emperor Sword, a layer of blood-qi fluctuation appeared, emanating from that skull, and it was assaulting that demonic body.

Apparently, the truth was that the Heavenly Emperor had blood-sacrificed himself with the Heavenly Emperor Sword to drag the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor down with him.

"Heavenly Emperor, you are celebrating too soon." The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor, who was the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor, said coldly: "This is just a little ant at the Earth Supreme realm. Although I don't know what method he used to enter the Ancient Heavenly Palace, he certainly cannot help you."

"When the Ancient Heavenly Palace emerges, as long as someone enters the Ancient Heavenly Palace, this seat will have a way to make them serve me."

"By then, your power will be far inferior to mine."

"This brat cannot possibly have the strength to help you!"

Although his disguise had been exposed, the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor remained calm.

He did not believe Xiao Ting could reach the Saint-Rank Heavenly Supreme level before the Ancient Heavenly Palace emerged.

As long as someone helped him regain his freedom then, with the number of hearts he currently had, he could definitely leave.

Once he returned to the Demon Territory, there would naturally be countless ways to recover.

"It is you who are celebrating too soon, Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor." Xiao Ting sneered and said indifferently: "You probably don't know that it only took me less than ten years to reach this realm. Give me another ten years, and I can completely suppress you."

"Taking a step back, even if my strength isn't enough to deal with you, do you think I don't know about the hearts you've hidden?"

"By then, I will naturally invite a Saint-Rank Heavenly Supreme to take action against you."

"Now that I have exposed your little trick, you can no longer escape."

Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor: !?

"Hahaha!" The Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily again: "Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor, it seems that in the end, this Emperor has won."

The Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's aura surged, attempting to suppress Xiao Ting.

But the Heavenly Emperor's power appeared, pinning him in place.

With the power of the Heavenly Emperor Sword, the area was completely locked down.

Only external force could break it.

But now, Xiao Ting, this external force, was on the Heavenly Emperor's side.
