True Martial Emperor stood proudly in the void, his eyes gleaming.
A terrifying might emanated from his body.
Having ascended to the peak of the third tier as an Emperor, facing Abyss Sea was now a different spectacle.
Abyss Sea was utterly defenseless before him.
"Weak, too weak!"
True Martial Emperor declared coldly.
*Clang!*
A sword cry echoed through the sky once more.
The sword light, soaring upwards, seemed to cleave through space itself, as if restarting chaos.
The previous strike had merely been True Martial Emperor testing his own strength.
Seeing Abyss Sea so easily defeated, he had obtained the result he desired.
Naturally, there was no need to prolong this meaningless battle.
"Perish!"
A vast sword energy descended with True Martial Emperor's words, targeting Abyss Sea not far away.
Witnessing this, Abyss Sea's expression changed drastically. A sense of mortal peril weighed upon him, forcing him to gasp for air.
Yet, he dared not await his fate.
He knew he would surely die today if he could not withstand this sword!
Thus, black light erupted from his entire being, his previously shattered scales visibly regenerating.
Terrifying black flames enveloped him, leaving only his bloodshot eyes to confirm Abyss Sea's existence.
"Block it for me!"
He roared, channeling all his power and using his body to meet the sword head-on.
*Rumble!*
A terrifying explosion resounded.
Under the onslaught of the sword, Abyss Sea's figure plummeted rapidly, then crashed heavily onto the ground.
Instantly, boundless energy spilled out.
The land seemed to have been struck by a magnitude ten earthquake, earth churning and the heavens cracking.
As the dust settled.
Everyone turned their gaze towards where Abyss Sea had fallen.
There, a horrifying abyss had formed.
It was as if a meteor had struck the earth.
In the center of the crater lay a figure, the alien Venerable Abyss Sea.
His hair was disheveled, his body cracked.
The scales that had just recovered were once again shattered.
And this was a fragmentation that would be difficult to mend.
Blood covered his body, his aura significantly diminished compared to before.
Fortunately, after such a blow, he had, after all, managed to withstand True Martial Emperor's sword.
He raised his head to look at True Martial Emperor, his gaze sinister, his scarred face contorted with boundless ferocity.
"Xu Longxiang, you truly deserve to die!"
"I should have dealt with you long ago!"
Abyss Sea punched the ground, his terrifying strength causing it to crack.
He roared fiercely.
His words were filled with regret.
Regret for not eliminating True Martial Emperor immediately, leading to the current predicament.
Regret for his arrogance and complacency, believing himself invincible after breaking through to the third tier as an Emperor.
Likewise, he resented True Martial Emperor for his rapid advancement.
He cursed Xu Chuan, thinking that if it weren't for this human ant delaying him, he would have killed Xu Longxiang long ago.
He wouldn't have fallen to this state now.
Upon hearing this, True Martial Emperor sneered, "But I am still alive, am I not?"
"It seems even the heavens do not wish for me to die!"
"Blame yourself!"
"At the same level, you can never be my opponent!"
"I still have a chance!"
Abyss Sea roared.
Then, he rose to his feet, and an inexhaustible suction emanated from his gaping maw.
In an instant, countless human and alien warriors on the battlefield were directly sucked into his mouth and devoured.
To replenish himself.
"Careful!"
Seeing this, Xu Chuan quickly shielded Ning Youci and Cui Jiang beside him.
It was clear that Abyss Sea was now fighting with his life on the line.
True Martial Emperor in the sky frowned.
With a wave of his hand, the human warriors were protected, no longer being devoured by Abyss Sea.
Only the aliens remained, ruthlessly consumed by Abyss Sea.
Countless alien screams erupted.
Being devoured by their own Venerable was undoubtedly more despair-inducing than dying at the hands of human warriors.
"No, Lord Venerable!"
"Spare us!"
"Damn it!"
Curses, screams, and pleas for mercy rose in a cacophony.
Even Xu Chuan's brow furrowed at the sound.
Even the half-Emperor realm experts of the alien race could not escape this powerful devouring force, all being swallowed by Abyss Sea.
As for the aliens' final cries, he paid them no heed.
To him, the aliens on the battlefield were akin to his reserves of food.
To be devoured by him was an honor for these aliens.
Seeing this, True Martial Emperor chose to stand by, not intervening.
The consumption of alien warriors was, for the human side, not necessarily a bad thing!
This would greatly reduce human casualties, so why not?
As for whether Abyss Sea's strength would skyrocket after devouring so many aliens?
True Martial Emperor was extremely confident about this!
No matter how much Abyss Sea's power increased, as long as it did not exceed the third tier as an Emperor, he would not be his opponent!
And to ascend beyond the third tier as an Emperor was not a simple feat.
The span from the third tier Emperor to the fourth tier Emperor was a considerable leap from the lower to the middle tier.
These were not hurdles that could be easily overcome!
Moreover, Abyss Sea was still heavily injured, making it even more impossible for him to break through to the fourth tier Emperor!
Therefore, no matter what level Abyss Sea reached after devouring these aliens, True Martial Emperor was absolutely confident in his ability to defeat him!
Soon, all the aliens on the entire battlefield were devoured by Abyss Sea.
The battlefield, once crowded with humans and aliens, suddenly became empty.
Abyss Sea's injuries were completely healed, and a terrifying pressure radiated outwards.
Xu Chuan's golden eyes flashed, discovering that after devouring countless aliens, Abyss Sea had reached the peak of the third tier.
He had once again reached the same realm as True Martial Emperor.
"Xu Longxiang, die!"
"Today, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
"I will make all the humans in this chaotic space my funeral companions!"
Abyss Sea roared.
Then, he unleashed his power and, under everyone's gaze, struck his own closed third eye above his brow.
Seeing this, True Martial Emperor's heart tightened, as if something catastrophic was about to occur.
Furthermore, he now recalled that Abyss Sea was from the Abyss Three-Eyed race, yet for so many years, he had never seen him use this third eye!
"Great existence, descend!"
Abyss Sea tilted his head back, his eyes filled with fervent zeal, and roared.
"Not good, stop him quickly!"
Seeing this, Xu Chuan's reaction was instantaneous. He shouted at True Martial Emperor.
Abyss Sea's third eye contained a terrifying existence, Xu Chuan knew this.
It was just that Abyss Sea had never summoned this being before, and Xu Chuan had almost forgotten.
Now, seeing Abyss Sea's third eye opening, he instantly remembered.
If this being were to truly descend, not only would these human warriors die, but they would all perish here!
True Martial Emperor saw the urgency in Xu Chuan's face and, without hesitation, chose to believe him.
He drew his sword and charged at Abyss Sea, intending to slay him directly.
