Chapter 1628: Chapter 1498: Who Hunts Whom?

The emperor weapon is comparable to an alternative life continuation of the Great Emperor, its power is terrifying to such an extent!

Once two emperor weapons engage in battle, it would be at a destruction level; even a fight in the boundless starry sky could obliterate a section of it!

Since the last time an emperor weapon suppressed the dark turmoil and got damaged, emperor weapons from various clans are rarely used for duels. Usually, they serve as deterrents; a true clash would be unimaginable disaster, laying corpses over millions of miles, blood flowing like a river.

However—

Today, it seems no one can stop the collision between the two emperor weapons. The Gu Family’s Azure Gold Furnace and Hu Fei’s Heavenly Weapon Sabre both show signs of revival, which is not a good omen. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

In the last battle of emperor weapons, every participating weapon sustained some damage, which is why so few Di Clans are willing to bring them out.

Firstly, the emperor weapon can suppress a family’s foundation, and secondly, it can repair itself over the long course of time.

Meanwhile, every Di Clan is frantically seeking immortal materials to refine their emperor weapons and repair them!

In eras without the Great Emperor, emperor weapons represent the ultimate combat power and are the main reason why families with emperor weapons last hundreds of thousands of years without perishing.

No one expected that the Gu Clan would actually bring their emperor weapon out. It seems their foundation no longer needs suppression and will soon emerge.

Thinking of this, many Di Clans felt uneasy.

In the distant Ancient Times, several Great Emperors left offspring, among them, some have been sealed until now!

The opening of the path to immortality happens in this era. Whether it’s those living fossils with limited lifespan or the sealed offspring of emperors, it seems they are about to emerge.

Back when the Human Race and the Demon Clan had their ultimate battle, deciding the sovereignty of this land, an agreement with the Demon Clan also reached this era. The Demon Clan is about to emerge to compete for the sole opportunity for immortality and hope for proving the way.

"Boom!"

The two emperor weapons nearly drained all the divine power of those who wielded them, finally unleashing a terrifying strike!

The entire universe trembled, and the beings in the Five Domains felt an apocalyptic sensation at that moment.

The revival of the emperor weapons pierced through the firmament; divine radiance reaching the heavens and the earth, soaring upward eighty thousand miles, the divine might of the Ancient Great Emperors reappearing, as though spanning across ancient, present, and future!

If not for the Wu Family’s Saint Master and the Imperial Family’s Saint Master using forbidden artifacts to stabilize the void and withstand the aftershocks of the two emperor weapons’ battle, no one around could have survived, all would have been turned into a blood mist.

"Boom boom boom..."

The Heavenly Weapon Sabre and Azure Gold Furnace clashed several times, but ultimately the Heavenly Weapon Sabre was overmatched. After all, in the last emperor weapon battle, the Azure Gold Furnace was the least damaged, while the Heavenly Weapon Sabre was severely damaged, unable to exert its full power.

Nevertheless, it was still astonishing. Even severely damaged, as the emperor weapon of the Eternal Slaughter Emperor, it withstood several attacks from the Azure Gold Furnace without falling behind.

"Do we really have to determine life and death?"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master was also nearly exhausted. While the power of an emperor weapon is immense, activating it is also extremely draining of divine power, and even he was at his limit.

"Determine life and death then, do you think I’m afraid of you? Your Gu Clan is strong, but my Nine Great Bandits are not made of clay!" Hu Tian said while coughing blood.

"You two, let it end in a draw. Must you determine life and death to benefit the emerging Demon Clan?" The Saint Masters of the Wu and Yue families both advised.

They knew that although the Heavenly Weapon Sabre was overmatched due to its severe damage against the Azure Gold Furnace, a true fight to the death wouldn’t leave the Gu Clan unscathed.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Academy’s Old Bastard and the Imperial Academy’s dean both rushed into the battlefield, each protecting one person and separating the two.

"Fine, let it end in a draw!"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master nodded and withdrew the Azure Gold Furnace.

"Gu Chongteng, I admit I lost to you this time, but don’t get cocky. Unless you use your emperor weapon for protection, I’ll frequently visit your Gu Family’s spirit stone mine."

Hu Tian took a Holy Pill, instantly recovering his primordial Qi, shamelessly threatening.

"Uh..."

The crowd was flabbergasted. They had seen threats before, but never one so blatant, directly stating his intent to raid the opponent’s spirit stone mine.

One must know that spirit stone mines are the foundation of every major power, indispensable. Even Di Clans and Holy Lands place great importance on spirit stone mines.

If Hu Tian really carried the Heavenly Weapon Sabre to raid the Gu Family’s spirit stone mine, it would truly cause them headaches, as they couldn’t possibly place an emperor weapon at the mine and must bring it back to the family to suppress their foundation.

"Hmph!"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master snorted coldly in anger, glanced at Hu Tian, and said, "If you have the guts, come. Believe it or not, I’ll wipe out all your Nine Great Bandits’ descendants?"

"What did you say?!"

Hu Tian’s eyes shot open instantly, and Wenren Tongtian frowned. What Gu Chongteng said was practically declaring war on the Nine Great Bandits. What gives him the confidence? Is it merely the less damaged emperor weapon?

"Gu Chongteng, do you really consider us Nine Great Bandits incompetent? Want to slaughter our descendants clean!"

"Gu, if our descendants suffer any harm, I’ll personally bring the Heavenly Weapon Sabre to block your family’s emperor children!"

Wenren Tongtian and Hu Tian each spoke up; although they fell behind in the recent battle, they remained extremely domineering, shaking the entire Gu Family!

The Gu Family has emperor offspring sealed in this era, and are certainly about to emerge. If Hu Tian were truly to bring the Slaughter Emperor’s Heavenly Weapon Sabre to block the Gu Family’s emperor offspring, it would indeed cause them anxiety. After all, the Gu Family’s emperor offspring cannot always remain under their protection, and they would not permit such actions.

At that point, this battle had concluded and could not continue.

After everyone retreated to the mines of the Immortal Academy, an inexplicable Emperor Weapon collision happened, and it’s already a miracle that no one died.

"Then let this Ye hand over the Emperor Weapon!"

The Gu Family’s Saint Master looked at Ye Fan expressionlessly and said coldly.

"Hey, old bastard, why don’t you take a good look at yourself in some piss? Who do you think you are? What does the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown have to do with you?"

Ye Fan had been suppressing his anger. Earlier, seeing the two fierce bandits stand up for him, he almost communicated with Elder Xuan to stand up for him. Seeing the Gu Family’s Saint Master mention handing over the Emperor Weapon again, he was furious!

"You..."

"Presumptuous!"

The members of the Ancient Emperor Family were all enraged and approached, with a posture of ready to act!

At this moment, a powerful Emperor’s Might emanated from Ye Fan, and a Golden Crown appeared above his head, releasing a myriad of Golden Light, protecting him thoroughly!

Boom!!

Immediately, Elder Xuan manifested, directly urging the Emperor Weapon to suppress the Gu Family people, incomparably powerful!

"You..."

The Gu Family’s Saint Master was shocked and hastily activated the Azure Gold Furnace to withstand this Emperor’s Might, with the Azure Gold Furnace trembling slightly, as if the Artifact Spirit within was about to awaken.

Several elders of the Gu Family couldn’t bear this extreme Emperor’s Might and directly knelt on the ground, their faces pale, with a trace of blood seeping from the corners of their mouths!

Hmm?

Ye Fan was very surprised, as this time Elder Xuan manifested without communicating with him, which clearly signified something important. He then remained silent, observing everything quietly.

Elder Xuan didn’t pay much attention and quickly stopped, his gaze majestic and sweeping across the Ling Family within the Gu Family’s camp.

Being swept by his gaze, everyone in the Ling Family, including the Saint Master, felt their faces burning. Originally, this Emperor Weapon belonged to their family, but now it had become Ye Fan’s amulet, making them especially resentful.

The reason the Gu Family demanded the Emperor Weapon from Ye Fan was partly to demonstrate their might and partly because they were entrusted by the Ling Family.

Due to the previous wager, the Ling Family couldn’t personally act against Ye Fan, let alone demand the Emperor Weapon, which made them particularly indignant, and it was Ling Gu who came up with the idea to let the Gu Family demand it.

"Humph!"

Elder Xuan snorted coldly, shifting his gaze from the Ling Family people to finally focus on the strongest successor of the Gu Family, which made the Ling Family secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

If they were to be reprimanded by Elder Xuan in front of so many people again, they truly wouldn’t dare to remain there!

However——

The Gu Family was like facing a formidable enemy, although they had an Emperor’s son about to be born, Gu Xiao was a genius with ancestral lineage, possessing a bloodline similar to the Ancient Emperor’s, also very powerful. After being concealed for so many years, it was time for him to make a breakthrough, so he mustn’t be killed in a fit of rage by Elder Xuan.

Thinking of this, the Gu Family’s Saint Master unhesitatingly sacrificed the Azure Gold Furnace, suspending it above Gu Xiao’s head, protecting him!

"Hehehe..."

Elder Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Do you think I would attack a younger generation? No, I just want to say a few words to him!"

"Please speak!"

With the protection of the Azure Gold Furnace, Gu Xiao suddenly gained more confidence and said defiantly.

"First, Xiao Fan has the Nine Heavens Profound Emperor’s bloodline in him. You should pay attention to your words in the future, so people don’t think you lack the demeanor of a strong person, or even the most basic education. As the saying goes, do not impose on others what you do not desire for yourself!"

As soon as these words came out, all the cultivators from the Gu and Ling Families who looked down on Ye Fan suddenly changed their faces. They had previously belittled Ye Fan with their words, and now Elder Xuan was clearly warning them not to continue, otherwise, he might take action!

Who could withstand the attack of the Artifact Spirit of an Emperor Weapon?

Many felt green in the face, especially Ling Gu, who looked as if he had swallowed a dead child, his complexion extremely unsightly.

"Second, although you also have the Great Emperor’s bloodline, the Ancient Emperor is too far away in history, and your bloodline has long become thin. Compared to Xiao Fan, you’re way behind because the Nine Heavens Profound Emperor was the last Great Emperor in the Xuan Realm, becoming an emperor under the least likely circumstances. In terms of bloodline power, you have no advantage whatsoever!"

"Third, judging from various signs, this era will be a golden era, with many rare constitutions appearing one after another, and long-lost Mystical Skills, Martial Arts, Divine Skills, and secret techniques will reappear, vying for the hope of Proving Dao. Ultimately, who will laugh last, overpower the heroes, and ascend to the pinnacle of Proving Dao is still hard to say. Therefore, there’s no need for you to have an overwhelming sense of superiority!"

Elder Xuan’s voice grew louder, eventually resounding like a great bell and a mighty drum, forceful and powerful.

Everyone knew that Elder Xuan’s appearance this time was to vindicate Ye Fan—Ye Fan was not unqualified to possess the Emperor Weapon, but on the contrary, with the Nine Heavens Profound Emperor bloodline, he was the most qualified!

For a moment, everyone’s gazes at Ye Fan became incredibly complex. This young man who emerged from a small sect and fought his way forward couldn’t be underestimated anymore.

"According to you, he’s more likely to prove the Dao and become an emperor than I am? Ridiculous, I could kill him as easily as slaughtering a chicken!"

Gu Xiao’s face was ashen. Elder Xuan’s words clearly belittled him to elevate Ye Fan, which infuriated him greatly.

"Oh really? Then go ahead and try, and see who kills whom?!"

Ye Fan responded with a strong counter, showing no fear!
