"Hum!"
A saber's hum resounded, followed by a fierce saber energy slashing towards Yuan Hai.
Yuan Hai keenly sensed the saber energy and retreated rapidly.
The method he was using to attack True Martial Emperor was also interrupted by Xu Chuan.
The terrifying saber energy grazed Yuan Hai's forehead, carving a horrifying gully beside him.
"Huh?!"
Yuan Hai reacted, looking at Xu Chuan with surprise.
"I didn't expect you to still have a trick up your sleeve!"
Xu Chuan's power soaring to the First Order Emperor Lord was completely beyond his expectation.
Although he didn't understand why Xu Chuan could erupt with such power in such a short time, it didn't stop him from becoming interested in Xu Chuan again.
"Since that's the case, I'll kill you first!"
Yuan Hai said coldly.
Even though Xu Chuan's strength had increased to the First Order Emperor Lord, he still didn't take him seriously.
With his Third Order Emperor Lord strength, killing Xu Chuan was as easy as playing.
The only reason he hadn't dealt with Xu Chuan immediately was that he wanted to toy with him a bit.
Moreover, he could tell that Xu Chuan was merely trying to stall for time, allowing Xu Longxiang to successfully break through to the Third Order Emperor Lord.
But he was not afraid at all.
Xu Longxiang had just begun his breakthrough, and it was impossible to succeed in a short time!
And this time was enough for him to toy with Xu Chuan!
What he enjoyed most was seeing people gain hope, only to have that hope crushed by his own hands.
His claws, covered in dark scales, were enveloped in an abyss aura, strange and brilliant.
Then, without hesitation, he swung his claws, attacking Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan was not to be trifled with either.
With his First Order Emperor Lord strength, he could now display the true power of several Emperor Weapons to the greatest extent.
He instantly unleashed his three-headed, six-armed form, his physical body becoming even more terrifying with the boost in power.
He tightly gripped the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, which crackled with Fusion Fire, as if celebrating Xu Chuan's increased strength.
The Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber in his other hand also let out a joyful cry.
After the period of bloody slaughter, the saber spirit of the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber had reformed.
Although it didn't have the same intelligence as before, it was far better than nothing.
With the saber spirit of the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber, Xu Chuan's saber techniques were even more effective!
The Golden Ancient Palace was also held by Xu Chuan, its golden light enveloping him, forming an indestructible defense.
With this defense, even Yuan Hai would not be able to break through in a short time!
After all, the Golden Ancient Palace was a Fourth Order Emperor Weapon, one rank higher than Yuan Hai in terms of grade!
This was precisely what allowed him to protect Xu Chuan's safety!
The reason he hadn't been able to protect Xu Chuan before was entirely due to Xu Chuan's insufficient strength; his Half-Emperor realm could not unleash even two or three tenths of the Golden Ancient Palace's power.
Only now, with Xu Chuan's strength having risen to the First Order Emperor Lord, could he truly control the Golden Ancient Palace to fight!
Xu Chuan's eyes were sharp and piercing. He instantly swung the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber.
The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow followed closely behind.
God Slaying Saber Technique, Sun Fall Arrow.
In an instant, two attacks of extreme power raged towards Yuan Hai.
The intensity of these two attacks had far surpassed the level of an ordinary First Order Emperor Lord.
It could be said that a weaker Second Order Emperor Lord might not even be able to withstand Xu Chuan's saber strike and arrow.
"Good!"
Yuan Hai roared, the dark light on his claws intensifying.
Boom!
With a claw, he directly grabbed the incoming arrow.
The golden arrow instantly exploded under his grasp, and terrifying power erupted.
It swept outwards.
Fortunately, because the battle of Emperor Lords had begun, the area had already been cleared, so there were no casualties.
The Fusion Fire blazed on Yuan Hai's claws, emitting crackling sounds.
However, Yuan Hai paid no mind. He swung another claw, colliding with the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber, producing a series of metallic clangs.
Under this head-on collision, both sides were sent flying back.
Xu Chuan could not break through the defense of Yuan Hai's scales, and Yuan Hai could not attack Xu Chuan under the protection of the Golden Ancient Palace.
The result was that neither could do anything to the other, and they could only glare at each other.
"I didn't expect you to have such a treasure?!"
Yuan Hai stopped, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber in Xu Chuan's hand and the Golden Ancient Palace in his other.
Although he hadn't used his full strength in the previous blow, it had reached the level of a Third Order Emperor Lord.
Combined with his scales, which were comparable to a Third Order Emperor Weapon, he was not to be underestimated.
Yet, such an attack couldn't even break through Xu Chuan's defense.
Even the Prison Suppressing Demonic Saber, which had gone head-to-head with him, was unharmed.
This made him instantly realize that the long saber in Xu Chuan's hand and the Golden Ancient Palace in his other were not ordinary items!
They were supreme treasures comparable to, or even surpassing, Third Order Emperor Weapons!
Upon realizing this, the greed in his eyes intensified!
They, the alien races, didn't lack weapons; it was just that very few among them could forge Emperor Weapons.
Only when forced would they constantly strengthen a part of their body to make it comparable to Emperor Weapons, using it as their own weapon.
But if they had Emperor Weapons, who would be foolish enough not to use them!
Yuan Hai set his sights on the two Emperor Weapons in Xu Chuan's hands, eager to obtain them.
As for the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, he didn't even look at it, showing no interest.
Firstly, it wasn't powerful enough and was inferior to his own scales.
Secondly, he didn't know how to use a bow.
Alien races typically fought with grand, sweeping movements and close-quarters combat; they rarely engaged in ranged combat.
"Hand over the Emperor Weapons in your hands, and I'll spare your life!"
Yuan Hai tempted.
He wanted to defeat his opponent without a fight and obtain the Emperor Weapons.
"You want my Emperor Weapons? Are you worthy?"
Xu Chuan mocked coldly.
"You're seeking death!"
Upon hearing Xu Chuan's words, Yuan Hai's face darkened instantly.
Since he refused the olive branch, he chose the rod. His gaze fixed menacingly on Xu Chuan.
Then, a torrent of dark light surged from within him. Countless black runes appeared on his scales.
Xu Chuan almost fell into a trance just by looking at them.
Strands of strange black flames flickered on Yuan Hai's skin. The moment the black flames appeared, even Xu Chuan's Fusion Fire seemed to be suppressed, unable to display its divine might.
Seeing this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Only by fighting Yuan Hai firsthand could he understand his terrifying power.
And now, Yuan Hai clearly didn't want to drag this out any longer and intended to finish it quickly. The pressure he faced would multiply.
Life and death could be decided in an instant.
Facing this situation, Xu Chuan could only give his all.
At the same time, he silently prayed that True Martial Emperor would complete his breakthrough quickly.
"Ant, die!"
Yuan Hai roared, his attack arriving in an instant.
