Chapter 1620 The Temple of Annihilation Attacks
The Evil Emperor paused for a moment, then slowly said, "The powerhouses of the Temple of Annihilation are far more numerous than this. This time, they merely sent someone to test your strength."
Song Yu replied expressionlessly, "I know..."
“Actually, I could have killed them all!” the Evil Emperor suddenly said.
Song Yu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head bitterly, "If you really show yourself, I'm afraid they will stop at nothing to raze the three great universes."
"The Dark Universe, the Light Universe, the Unrivaled Universe, cannot withstand such a powerful offensive! It is not time for you to show yourselves yet."
Song Yu was well aware of this. Although the powerful figures of the Upper Realm regarded him as a thorn in their side, they wanted to subdue him. However, if the Evil Emperor were to step forward, they would definitely annihilate him completely.
Therefore, neither of them should be exposed.
The Evil Emperor said in a complicated tone, "Burning one's source energy is something that should not be done lightly unless absolutely necessary."
Song Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a pale smile, "If I don't do this, I'll be the one dying today. With those three mid-stage Dao Realm experts joining forces, I have no chance of winning."
He paused, gazing into the depths of the starry sky, where all was still calm, but everyone knew that beneath that calm lay a turbulent undercurrent!
"The Temple of Annihilation suffered a loss this time. Next time, those who come will probably not be as simple as those in the mid-stage of the Dao Realm."
"You're right."
The Evil Emperor sighed softly, carrying Song Yu as he flew towards the Human Emperor's Palace. "However, you don't need to worry too much. Worrying too much is pointless!"
Song Yu slowly closed his eyes. "I hope so."
He could clearly feel that his injuries were extremely severe, and recovery would be a long and arduous process. And the time left for them was probably running out.
Back at the Emperor's Palace, the Evil Emperor settled Song Yu on the jade bed in his bedchamber!
"You should rest and recuperate. I will take care of things here in the Peerless Universe for the time being." The Evil Emperor stood by the bed and said in a deep voice, "I will have Wu Nian and the Holy Venerable strengthen the defenses and at the same time issue orders to all cultivators in the three universes to enter a state of combat readiness."
Song Yu nodded, his voice weak, "Thank you."
The Evil Emperor waved his hand and turned to leave. Silence returned to the inner palace once more.
Song Yu lay on the bed, gazing at the palace ceiling above him, lost in thought.
He recalled his journey, from an unknown nobody to the peerless emperor who now rules the universe. The hardships he had endured were beyond words.
Now, he is about to face an unprecedented war, a war that concerns the life and death of billions of beings in the three universes. He cannot afford to lose, nor can he afford to lose.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Yu fell into a deep sleep!
Strangely enough, he quickly fell asleep!
He saw billions of beings in the vast universe, bowing down to him in worship, their eyes filled with awe and anticipation.
He also saw the army of the Temple of Annihilation, sweeping in from all directions, leaving devastation and destruction in its wake.
He wielded the Divine Sword, fighting fiercely amidst the bloodshed, his disciples falling one by one, yet he still did not retreat!
Suddenly, Song Yu woke up from his dream.
Just then, the door to the sleeping quarters was gently pushed open, and a young man walked in.
It's Song Qinghong!
His face was filled with worry, and he held a bowl of steaming hot medicine in his hands.
"Father, you're awake?" Song Qinghong quickly walked to the bedside and handed the medicine to Song Yu. "This is a medicine specially brewed by the Evil Emperor. It can restore injuries sustained at the Dao Realm level!"
Song Yu took the herbal medicine, took a sip, and felt the warm liquid slide down his throat, which invigorated him.
"How's the integration going on the Bright Universe side?" he asked.
"Everything went smoothly." Song Qinghong nodded. "Senior Evil Emperor had already laid out many contingency plans in the Bright Universe. Those forces that originally harbored ulterior motives dared not make any further moves under the senior's pressure."
Song Yu nodded in satisfaction. "Well done."
He looked at Song Qinghong, his eyes filled with satisfaction. This son had grown up and was now capable of standing on his own.
"By the way, Father."
As if remembering something, Song Qinghong said, "News came from Zhao Xiaolong's side that his Emperor Armor, under the blessing of Chaotic Emperor Qi, has evolved to a completely new level. Now, he is enough to contend with a powerhouse in the early stage of the Dao Realm."
"Moreover, his armored army has also seen a surge in combat power after being tempered. Now, they are all in high spirits and eager to fight to the death against the army of the Temple of Annihilation."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Song Yu said "good" three times, a long-lost smile appearing on his face, but he still couldn't hide his worry.
High morale...
Simply put, it's about not being afraid of life and death!
However, the gap between the two sides remains as wide as a chasm!
Even he himself didn't know how to win, but as one of the key figures, Song Yu understood that he couldn't show any weakness, because if he did, he would surely lose!
The father and son chatted for a while longer before Song Qinghong got up to take his leave. He had many matters to attend to and could not stay any longer.
As Song Yu lay in bed, the gloom in his heart finally dissipated somewhat.
He closed his eyes and began to circulate his cultivation technique to repair the damaged origin of his Dao realm.
Time passed slowly, and the Dao power within his body gradually recovered.
In the blink of an eye, 100,000 years have passed.
In these 100,000 years, Song Yu's injuries have mostly healed. Although his Dao Realm origin is not yet fully recovered, his combat power has recovered to 70-80%.
……
On this day, Song Yu was in the main hall of the Human Emperor's Palace, discussing military affairs with the Evil Emperor, Ying Zheng, Zhao Xiaolong, and others.
Suddenly, the Divine Sword trembled violently, and the runes on its blade flickered wildly. An even stronger sense of crisis than before surged into everyone's hearts.
Song Yu suddenly looked up and gazed into the depths of the starry sky.
There, the void shattered inch by inch, and a crack even larger than the last one appeared in the sky.
A terrifying pressure emanated from the crack, causing the entire Emperor's Palace to tremble slightly.
"I never expected that they would return after only 100,000 years!" A cold glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes. He gripped the Divine Sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "The army of the Temple of Annihilation has arrived!"
The expressions on everyone's faces turned solemn. They could sense that the number of powerful individuals who had arrived this time was enormous, and their strength far surpassed that of the last group!
"Everyone!"
Song Yu surveyed the crowd, his voice booming like a bell, "Today, a battle! There is no way to retreat, only a battle!"
"war!"
"war!!!"
The crowd shouted in unison, their voices resounding through the sky, a soaring fighting spirit reaching the heavens!
Song Yu nodded, holding the Divine Sword, and took the lead in soaring into the sky, followed closely by the Evil Emperor, the Demon Emperor, Ying Zheng, and others.
Above the starry sky, the cracks grew wider and wider.
Countless figures in black robes emerged from the crack.
Their numbers number in the tens of thousands.
Among them were numerous powerhouses at the Dominator level, and hundreds of powerhouses at the Eternal Realm! And, leading them all was a blood-red elder at the late Dao Realm!
His hair was gray, his face withered, but his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. He exuded an aura of power surpassing even the late-stage Dao Realm, suffocating everyone who beheld him!
"You ants from the lower realm dare to repeatedly kill the messengers of my Temple of Annihilation! Today, I will grind you to dust!"
The old man in the blood-red robe spoke, his voice icy and chilling, echoing across the entire starry sky.
Song Yu's eyes narrowed; this person's strength had actually reached the late stage of the Dao Realm.
This is the strongest person he has encountered so far, besides the Heavenly Dao Lord.
"If you want to kill us, you'll have to see if you have the ability!" Song Yu's voice was fearless.
He held the Divine Sword, his Dao power surging wildly within him, and all six Chaos Emperor Qi were poured into the Divine Sword.
"Heh, a mere early stage Dao Realm cultivator dares to be so insolent before me?"
The old man in the blood-red robe sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "Today, I will show you what true despair is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in the blood-red robe raised his hand and waved it. A terrifying blood-red power surged toward Song Yu like a tidal wave.
This power contains the might to devour everything; wherever it passes, even the void is stained blood-red.
Song Yu's expression turned extremely solemn. He dared not be careless in the slightest and suddenly roared, "Divine Path? Annihilation of All Heavens!"
In an instant, a dazzling dark golden sword light shot into the sky, carrying a power that could shake the heavens, and collided with the blood-red power!
"boom!"
The moment the two forces collided, the entire starry sky shook violently, and terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions. Those black-robed men who rushed to the front were shredded to ashes before they could even scream.
Song Yu felt an irresistible force coming from the sword. His arm went numb, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood flowed down the sword's surface, slowly dripping along its patterns.
His body was struck as if by a heavy blow, and he flew backward repeatedly. With each step he took back, the void beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch.
"Father!"
Upon seeing this, Song Qinghong's pupils contracted sharply, and he grabbed his spear, ready to rush forward to provide support.
"Halt!" Song Yu shouted sharply, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still sharp as a blade. "This is not a battle you can interfere in. Hold the line and don't let any of the black-robed figures step into the three universes!"
Song Qinghong gritted his teeth, watching Song Yu's bloodied and valiant figure. Finally, he stomped his foot hard, turned around and rushed towards the black-robed men who broke through the shockwave. His spear danced, its light like a dragon, and instantly pierced through the chests of several Dominator-level experts!
The blood-red elder looked at Song Yu, who was flying backward, and his disdain deepened: "Early stage of Dao Realm, he is still just an early stage of Dao Realm. Even if he wields a divine weapon, he is no match for me!"
Before he finished speaking, he flashed like a streak of blood-red lightning, instantly appearing in front of Song Yu. His withered hand, containing the power to devour everything, slammed towards Song Yu's crown.
"Shinto? Break the boundary!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes. He abandoned all defenses and poured all his remaining Dao power into the Divine Dao Sword. The dark golden sword light surged several feet, carrying the momentum of splitting the heavens and earth, and slashed towards the blood-red old man's palm.
