Chapter 1621 The Weak Overcomes the Strong
"Seeking your own death, oblivious to your own mortality!" The blood-red elder sneered, his palm radiating a brilliant crimson light as he directly grabbed at the sword's edge.
"Crack!"
The sword light collided with the palm, producing a piercing sound. Dark golden light flashed wildly, while crimson power continued to erode the opponent's strength. The two were locked in a stalemate.
"The Way of the Gods? All Paths Return to One!"
With a deafening roar that shook the universe, the runes on the Divine Sword instantly shone brightest, and a terrifying pressure that combined the power of the six Great Chaos Emperors and the power of all paths suddenly erupted.
The blood-red old man's expression finally changed, and for the first time, horror appeared in his eyes: "This...this is impossible!"
He tried to pull his hand back, but found that his hand was firmly locked by the sword light and he could not move it at all.
"Pfft!"
The dark golden sword light tore through the crimson power and struck the crimson elder's palm directly. Blood splattered, and a hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"what!!"
The blood-red old man let out a shrill scream. He looked at his severed hand, his eyes filled with resentment and madness: "Damn lowly wretch!"
He retreated abruptly, his body surging with crimson power, turning the entire starry sky blood red. An even more terrifying pressure than before erupted from his body.
Song Yu stood in the starry sky, panting heavily. His breath became even weaker, but his eyes were fixed on the blood-red old man.
The crimson power around the old man surged like a raging torrent, and the terrifying pressure continued to rise. The already shattered void was now annihilated inch by inch, turning into a pitch-black chaos.
Thick blood mist continuously oozed from the wound on his severed hand. The blood mist condensed in the air into ferocious blood-red bats, emitting piercing shrieks as they swooped down towards Song Yu.
"You lowly ant, you have utterly enraged me!"
The blood-red old man's voice was like a demonic voice from the depths of hell, filled with bone-chilling hatred: "I am the Blood Fiend Venerable of the Temple of Annihilation, who has been in charge of the temple's punishments for millions of years. Today, I will extract your soul and refine it into lamp oil, so that you may never be reincarnated."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Fiend Venerable suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a beam of blood-red light.
Within the pillar of light were the remnant souls of countless Dao Realm experts. These remnant souls howled mournfully, emanating a resentment powerful enough to terrify even ordinary Dao Realm experts.
This is the "Soul-Devouring Blood Pillar" that he condensed by devouring thousands of powerful beings using the secret techniques of the Temple of Annihilation. Once hit, not only will the physical body be devoured, but even the soul will become his nourishment.
Song Yu's expression changed drastically. He could feel the terror of the pillar of blood. At this moment, most of his Dao power was consumed, and it was impossible for him to withstand it head-on.
At this critical moment, a resolute glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes. He bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence. The blood essence landed on the Divine Sword, instantly activating the chaotic restriction deep within the sword.
"The Divine Path? To become a sword with one's own body!!"
With a roar, Song Yu's figure merged with the Divine Sword, transforming into a dark golden sword light that pierced through heaven and earth.
Within the sword light, six chaotic imperial energies intertwined and swirled, emanating an unparalleled sword intent that looked down upon all the heavens.
This sword strike was a deadly move he executed by burning part of his own essence and blood, far surpassing any of his previous attacks in power.
The dark golden sword light collided with the blood-red pillar of light, but instead of the expected earth-shattering roar, there was only a deathly silence and annihilation.
The countless remnant souls within the crimson pillar of light vanished instantly under the strike of the chaotic sword intent, leaving not even a ripple behind.
The dark golden sword light continued its momentum, heading straight for the Blood Fiend Venerable's chest.
A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the Blood Fiend Venerable. He had not expected that Song Yu could unleash such a terrifying sword move.
He dared not delay, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and the crimson power around him condensed into a huge crimson shield.
The shield was engraved with countless runes of annihilation, emanating an aura that devoured everything.
"clang!"
With a deafening roar, the dark golden sword light pierced the blood-red shield, and a dazzling light burst forth at the point where the sword and shield clashed.
The runes of annihilation on the blood-red shield flickered wildly, constantly devouring the power of the sword light, while the sword light, with overwhelming force, tore through the shield's defense bit by bit.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out as the blood-red shield was covered with countless cracks before finally shattering with a deafening roar.
The dark golden sword light, its momentum undiminished, pierced fiercely into the chest of the Blood Fiend Venerable.
"puff!"
Blood Fiend Venerable suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which contained several fragments of primordial power.
He looked down in disbelief at the dark gold sword tip at his chest, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness: "Impossible... I am a late-stage Dao Realm cultivator, just one step away from reaching the peak of the Dao Realm, how could I be defeated by an ant like you, a mere early-stage Dao Realm cultivator..."
Song Yu's voice rang out from within the sword light, cold and majestic: "The Temple of Annihilation... I have no other choice!"
As he spoke, the sword light suddenly trembled, and a terrifying chaotic sword intent erupted. The Blood Fiend Venerable's body was instantly shredded into pieces, and his soul was also dissipated inch by inch under the erosion of the sword intent.
However, just as the Blood Fiend Venerable's soul was about to be annihilated, a stream of blood-red light suddenly shot out from between his brows. Within the stream of light, there was actually a faint soul imprint.
The mark was moving extremely fast, fleeing towards the star rift, clearly intending to send a message to the Temple of Annihilation.
"Want to go?"
A cold snort rang out, and the Evil Emperor appeared in the starry sky at some unknown time. With a wave of his hand, a black imperial aura swept out, instantly imprisoning the blood-red light.
With a flick of his finger, the crimson light turned to ashes, leaving not a trace.
Seeing this, Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He separated from the Divine Sword, staggered, and almost fell from the starry sky.
That sword strike just now almost exhausted all his power, and even his very essence was severely damaged.
The Evil Emperor flashed to Song Yu's side, supported him, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"
Song Yu shook his head, his voice weak, "It's nothing... just that I was overexerted..."
He looked up at the battlefield and saw cultivators from the three universes and the black-robed figures from the Temple of Annihilation fighting a bloody battle.
Zhao Xiaolong transformed into the Emperor Armor, leading an army of armored warriors like a golden torrent, rampaging through everything in his path, leaving black-robed figures to fall one after another!
Song Qinghong wielded a long spear, its blade gleaming like a dragon; with each swing, it pierced the chests of several Eternal Realm experts! Ying Zheng, meanwhile, held the Emperor's Sword, surrounded by countless dragon souls; wherever he passed, the black-robed figures were annihilated, their souls and spirits destroyed…
Although the black-robed figures of the Temple of Annihilation were numerous and powerful, the cultivators of the three universes, inspired by Song Yu's slaying of the Blood Fiend Venerable, were in high spirits and fought fearlessly, gradually gaining the upper hand.
Upon seeing that the Blood Fiend Venerable was dead, the surviving men in black robes were thrown into chaos and fled towards the rift in the starry sky.
"Gentlemen, eliminate them all, leave no one alive!" Song Yu's voice echoed throughout the battlefield, though faint, it was full of power.
"kill!"
The crowd shouted in unison, chasing after the fleeing men in black robes and killing them one by one in the starry sky.
After an unknown amount of time, the battlefield finally quieted down. The starry sky was littered with the corpses of black-robed figures and shattered magical artifacts; the once pitch-black void was now stained red with blood.
Looking at the scene before him, Song Yu was filled with mixed emotions.
In this great battle, the cultivators of the three universes paid a heavy price; countless powerful figures perished, and the star defense lines were severely damaged. But at least, they protected the three universes and countless lives!
The Evil Emperor looked at Song Yu and slowly said, "With the death of the Blood Fiend Venerable, the Temple of Annihilation will certainly not let this go. This time, they sent someone at the late stage of the Dao Realm; next time, they will probably send someone at the peak of the Dao Realm!"
Song Yu nodded, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes.
The peak of the Dao Realm is a level far surpassing that of the Blood Fiend Venerable. With the current strength of the three universes, it would be difficult to resist!
Ying Zheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Human Emperor, there is no need to worry. After this battle, the cultivators of the three universes will surely grow rapidly. Moreover, we can take this opportunity to integrate the remaining forces of the Temple of Annihilation, plunder their resources, and improve our own strength."
Zhao Xiaolong chimed in, "That's right! My armored army can still be further refined."
Song Qinghong looked at Song Yu, her eyes filled with determination: "Father, I will also work hard to cultivate and break through to the Dao Realm as soon as possible, so as to lend you a helping hand!"
Looking at everyone, Song Yu felt the gloom in his heart gradually dissipate.
He knew in his heart that the road ahead was long and fraught with danger, but he was not alone!
He gripped the divine sword tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes: "The Temple of Annihilation wants to flatten the three universes? Let them try! We'll fight them to the bitter end!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yu's voice echoed in the starry sky for a long time.
In the distant upper realm, deep within the Temple of Annihilation, lies a blood-red palace.
A man dressed in a blood-red robe and wearing a crown suddenly opened his eyes.
A cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
"Blood Fiend is actually dead..."
The man's voice carried an unparalleled majesty, "You ants from the lower realm dare to kill a Venerable of my Temple of Annihilation! You truly have no regard for death!"
He slowly stood up, emanating a terrifying pressure that surpassed even that of a supreme being, causing the entire palace to tremble slightly.
"Pass down the order: Command the Black Fiend Venerable to lead the 100,000-strong Annihilation Army to flatten the three great universes!"
"Furthermore, bring along that divine weapon, the 'Demon Annihilation Cauldron.' I want to completely turn that universe into chaos."
The man's voice, icy and chilling, echoed throughout the entire Temple of Annihilation.
An even bigger storm is brewing.
Meanwhile, the three universes were still immersed in the joy of victory, unaware that a cataclysmic disaster was about to befall them.
Black Fiend Venerable, the pinnacle of the Dao.
They are the three highest-ranking of the seven great venerables of the Temple of Annihilation.
His status was second only to the six elders of the Temple of Annihilation and the three mysterious temple masters.
"I am coming too!"
Just then, a stunningly beautiful woman in a black miniskirt stepped forward.
The Rose Venerable, one of the Three Venerables, the pinnacle of the Dao.
