Chapter 574 - 549: The Three Giants of the Dragon Alliance

The three great masters battled through dozens of moves, but Emperor Qing stood like an immortal godly wall, firmly blocking the attacks from Flame Emperor and Ghost Emperor.

"How can Ye Qing be so powerful?"

"Just like Tang Feng, so is Ye Qing. The Dragon Alliance... we truly cannot let it be."

"If Lu Ming has indeed died, this time, it’s the perfect chance to uproot the Dragon Alliance completely."

Flame Emperor and Ghost Emperor communicated secretly, striking with all their might, but all their formidable methods were steadily caught by Emperor Qing.

"Help, save me..."

The wailing of Zhao Qiankun spread throughout Origin Magic City.

Because the light shield around his body was about to completely shatter, and the talisman on his forehead had dimmed to no light.

He felt as if one foot had already stepped into the abyss.

Better to be killed in one blow than to slowly step into the abyss, that creeping sensation of death, was far too terrifying.

Zhao Qiankun’s mentality completely collapsed.

At this moment, he could forsake face, dignity, all of it, he just wanted to live.

Just then, the heavens and earth suddenly darkened, as if the light in the sky vanished into nothingness in an instant, even the sunlight disappeared.

The world became pitch black.

Even the flames on Flame Emperor’s body lost their color, turning into utter darkness.

Someone released a luminescent stone, trying to cast light, but found that even the light from the stone had vanished.

It was as if all the light in the world was instantaneously devoured by a terrifying entity.

The entire world was so black that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

"Spiritual Sense, Spiritual Sense has also lost its function."

Someone shouted in shock.

"It’s true, me too."

"What, Master, you’re in the Creator Realm!"

Cries of alarm and panic erupted continuously.

All the people on the scene seemed to have become blind in a blink.

Lu Yan felt the presence of a terrifying, supreme power approaching him rapidly.

And he, couldn’t move at all.

In the face of this supreme power, he could only be slaughtered at will.

"Dark Emperor..."

A dragon’s roar, shaking heaven and earth, pierced through the endless darkness, letting Lu Yan vaguely see a gigantic Azure Dragon hovering above his head, shielding him from a terrible blow.

"Dark Emperor..."

Lu Yan’s pupils contracted sharply.

The Dark Emperor wasn’t that sovereign from the Three Emperors Alliance, that strongest being in the True One State?

Just to kill a Zhao Qiankun, how could such a giant like the Dark Emperor be mobilized? This was far beyond Lu Yan’s expectations.

Could it be that Zhao Qiankun was the Dark Emperor’s illegitimate child?

Lu Yan felt a headache coming on; the situation was getting out of his control.

If he had known beforehand that he would draw out a True One State being, he would have really thought thrice before acting.

The True One State was not something that could be compared to the third step of creation.

Such beings were unimaginably powerful.

"Ye Qing, your opponent is us."

Flame Emperor roared, joining forces with Ghost Emperor to strike at Emperor Qing.

Facing the combined assault from two peers, even Ye Qing found it difficult to spare more attention.

But at that moment, a Sword Light, dazzling to the extreme, cut through space, severed time, and also tore through the darkness.

The Sword Light appeared above Lu Yan’s head, sweeping across horizontally as though splitting the world in two, shattering the darkness and letting light return to the world.

At the instant the Sword Light appeared, a complex map surfaced beside it, dotted with stars.

Countless figures danced out from the map, eventually converging into a column of light that soared into the sky, complementing the resplendent Sword Light, forcefully tearing apart the darkness and confronting a terrible being within it.

Their confrontation was silent; Lu Yan only felt a subtle tremor in space. The next moment, the darkness in the world receded like a tide, and light returned to everyone’s eyes.

"That is Sword Ancestor."

"And Ancestor of All Magics."

"The three giants of the Dragon Alliance have all arrived."

Around them, exclamations echoed.

Above Lu Yan’s head stood two figures.

One of them was indeed Tang Feng.

And the other, donning a robe adorned with intricate patterns, exuded a sense of deep mystery.

Although Lu Yan had never met him, he could guess without seeing that it must be one of the three vice-hierarchs of the Dragon Alliance in the third step of creation, the Ancestor of All Magics.

The original name of the Ancestor of All Magics was True Monarch of All Magics, who later stepped into the third step of creation and was honored as Ancestor of All Magics.

Besides the Alliance Hierarch Lu Ming, the three strongest members of the Dragon Alliance were all present.

Lu Yan suddenly felt that he might have been caught in a game among the high and mighty.

Tang Feng and Ancestor of All Magics watched the skies with grave expressions.

Because in the sky, a space rift had appeared, and it was growing larger.

At the end of the space rift, endless darkness surged forth.

Within the darkness, a slender figure stood, seemingly about to pass through the spatial rift and descend upon this place.

The slender figure was none other than the Dark Emperor.

Obviously, the true body of the Dark Emperor was not in Origin Magic City, but in an infinitely distant place. The strike had been delivered across a vast expanse of space.

And now, the True Body was about to pierce through the sky and arrive.

"Everyone, retreat, the Dark Emperor is coming. The fearsome great battle is about to erupt."

Shapes began to appear from all around the void.

Without exception, these figures all emitted terrifyingly extreme fluctuations.

All were beings from the Creator Realm’s third step, who had not yet left.

These third-step Creator Realm entities, with their powerful strength, enveloped their own people and retreated to extremely distant places. They watched from afar, separated by the boundless void.

"You all should retreat as well."

With a wave of Tang Feng’s hand, a powerful force wrapped around the Dragon Alliance’s people and pushed them to the ends of the earth.

Only Lu Yan remained where he was.

Because Lu Yan had been targeted by the Dark Emperor, it didn’t matter where he was sent; the outcome would be the same.

The speed of the Dark Emperor was at its utmost limit.

When she first appeared, she was still infinitely far away, but in the next instant, she was near, and endless darkness, like towering waves, burst through the rift in space, threatening to fill the entire world and turn it dark.

Clang!

The sound of a sword’s cry spread for billions of miles.

Tang Feng, wielding the Tao Sword, sent forth a burst of sword light into the darkness, as if he intended to shatter the darkness.

The Ancestor of All Magics pushed forward with both palms, and a mysterious pattern reappeared, entering the space rift and bursting forth with dazzling light, like a world set ablaze.

Lu Yan felt that the pattern cast by the Ancestor of All Magics bore some resemblance to the Zhou Tian Huan Yu Map within the Dao Book.

Inside the space rift, the Sword Ancestor’s and the Ancestor of All Magics’ attacks collided with the dark tidal wave, facing great resistance. They vibrated continuously, retreating again and again.

"Tang Feng, Wan Fa, you two think you can stop me? Quite wishful thinking. Where is Lu Ming? Let him confront me."

The voice of the Dark Emperor passed through the space rift, spread throughout the world.

"Where I stand, all under heaven becomes a sword."

Tang Feng’s deep voice resonated. His whole being emitted a hazy brilliance. At this moment, his body seemed to vanish, transforming into a sword.

In front of this sword, even the Tao Sword seemed dim and lusterless as it voluntarily merged with it.

At this moment, the whole world itself, every object, every magic, space and time, all seemed to turn into swords, rushing towards this sword to integrate with it.

Even the endless darkness seemed to have the tendency to transform into a sword.

The sword that Tang Feng had become began to lengthen without end, finally stretching across the heavens and the earth like a Magic River, blocking the endless darkness on the other side of the river.

"Having transformed into the River of Sword Magic, Tang Feng has half a foot in the True One State already," exclaimed a third-step Creator Realm powerhouse, his eyes full of envy.

The others were astonished.

"There was no River of Sword Magic in the world, but he aims to create one. Indeed, he shows signs of stepping into the True One State. If he succeeds, the Dragon Alliance will have two True Ones, comparable to the Origin Dynasty and the Nine Generations Heavenly Palace," remarked an elder.

The people of the Dragon Alliance were ecstatic.

On the other side of the space rift, the Dark Emperor’s expression also darkened.

"Humph, Tang Feng, you indeed have exceptional talent, but there is a world of difference between having half a foot in the True One State and being a true True One. Today, I shall show you the real gap between the True One State and yourselves," she scoffed.

The Dark Emperor snorted coldly, formed incantations with her hands, and pushed forward, summoning a black sphere that pierced through the space rift and struck towards Tang Feng.

Boom!

The River of Sword Magic that Tang Feng had become shook violently, with waters raging high.

The Ancestor of All Magics’s face was solemn as he exerted all his power to aid in defense.

But a True One who was truly exerting effort was an extremely terrifying matter, and even with their full strength, the two were forced to retreat repeatedly.

The Dark Emperor continued to break through, ready to descend upon this place.

"Elder, we’ll hold these two off; go aid the Sword Ancestor," said the Formation Ancestor and the Time-space Spiritual Mouse, appearing silently before Emperor Qing.

"Lu Yan, I’m leaving him to you."

Emperor Qing nodded, took a step forward, and appeared beside the Ancestor of All Magics, then charged headfirst into the River of Sword Magic.

Suddenly, within the River of Sword Magic, a gigantic Azure Dragon emerged, as long as the Magic River itself, howling to the skies as if two dragons were coming together, their aura surging mightily, together resisting the Dark Emperor.

"Time-space Isolation."

The moment Emperor Qing left, the Time-space Spiritual Mouse, who was now a young girl, cried out sharply and pushed forward with both hands. Violent fluctuations echoed as space shattered like glass, forming a huge barrier that protected Lu Yan in its midst.

"Break them," coldly shouted the Flame Emperor and the Ghost Emperor, unleashing their ultimate moves.

But, with their prowess at the third step of the Creator Realm, they were surprisingly unable to break through the Time-space Spiritual Mouse’s defenses, and were repelled.

"Hurry up and help me, old tortoise, I can’t take it alone," the Time-space Spiritual Mouse said, pale-faced and trembling slightly.

"Witness my uniquely created formation, the Yin Yang Five Elements Eight Desolate Six Unions Nine Heavens Ten Earths Array, which shrouds heaven and earth," bellowed the Formation Ancestor.

Formation Patterns surged like a tide from his body, rushing in all directions, instantly forming an immense Formation that worked in tandem with the Time-space Spiritual Mouse’s "Time-space Isolation."

Boom boom boom...

The Flame Emperor and the Ghost Emperor launched nine successive attacks but failed to break through.

"Hehehe, we don’t seek to make a contribution, just to avoid faults. Focused on defense, you won’t be able to break through," the Formation Ancestor said smugly.
