The battle had reached its peak.
Boom.
At the very center of the battlefield.
Emperor Chiyang was sent flying backward. His accompanying Great Sun shattered.
"Hum."
With a flash of silver light, Emperor Chiyang's figure vanished.
Space Boots.
Emperor Chiyang had unleashed his trump card.
"Heh."
Chen Fan's lips curved upwards.
Space Boots? Do I not have them?
Beneath his feet, silver light also flickered.
Both of them disappeared without a trace, neither leaving any indication for anyone to capture their movements.
Bang, bang, bang.
Only scattered flashes of collision proved that the two were fighting at extreme speeds.
They fought speed against speed.
The world was filled with exploding Great Suns and sword light.
"Disrupting heavenly secrets."
Suddenly, Chen Fan's voice echoed.
"Bang."
Emperor Chiyang stumbled, falling out of his spatial jump.
Hiss.
Sword light bloomed.
The Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi pierced Emperor Chiyang's forehead.
The Great Dao surged, tearing through his skull.
"Begone."
Roaring solar energy erupted, shaking off the divine sword.
Then, a voice filled with dread asked, "What is that?"
"What do you think?"
Chen Fan appeared disheveled, his body covered in scorched marks.
Yet, a smile played on his lips as the Dragon Pattern Compass appeared in his hand.
"A divine weapon?" Emperor Chiyang exclaimed.
Greed flared even brighter in his eyes.
Then, as if recalling something, he asked, "No, you have other divine weapons."
"Oh? How can you tell?"
Hiss.
Though they were speaking, their actions never ceased.
Great Suns and sword light collided incessantly, shattering chaos.
Emperor Chiyang said, "You have a defensive divine weapon on you, don't you?"
"Clever."
Towards those who were about to die, he was always magnanimous.
What if I tell you?
Now, in the Thunder Domain, who can kill me?
"Why?"
Bang.
Emperor Chiyang was once again repelled.
His eyes were filled with unwillingness, "You, a mere seventh-tier cultivator, how can you gain the recognition of so many divine weapons?"
He couldn't understand.
He thought of how he had spent nearly a million years just to barely refine one pair of Space Boots.
Yet, even so, the Space Boots resisted his use.
The other pair of Space Boots in the opponent's hand had become as controllable as his own arm in less than a few years.
He could clearly sense it; sometimes, without Chen Fan even activating them, the Space Boots would jump automatically.
The Space Boots were his greatest trump card, yet they were now struggling more and more violently.
"A good bird chooses its tree to roost in." Chen Fan's smile remained full of confidence.
"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, I have more divine weapons than just these. Take a look..."
Hum.
The Celestial Crown appeared.
A faint ripple spread out, and Emperor Chiyang's body was instantly frozen in place.
"Celestial Crown, Void Restraint."
Chen Fan stepped forward with a smile and unleashed a sword strike.
Puff.
Blood splattered.
An arm imbued with the power of the Great Dao flew off.
The next moment, Emperor Chiyang roared and broke free from the Void Restraint.
A look of terror flashed across his eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he snatched the severed arm.
"Gravity."
Boom.
The Gravity Bead appeared.
Suddenly, it crushed Emperor Chiyang's internal organs.
Hiss.
The indestructible Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi struck again.
Rolling thunder gathered, and two "boom" sounds echoed.
Both of Emperor Chiyang's arms shattered.
The scattered power was directly devoured by the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.
"Impossible."
At this moment, Emperor Chiyang was utterly shocked.
Another divine weapon, he couldn't believe it.
"Mine, all mine..." No one knew the power of divine weapons better than Emperor Chiyang, besides Chen Fan.
Once all these divine weapons fell into his hands, he would truly be the number one in the Thunder Domain.
Even if he left the Thunder Domain, he would no longer be afraid.
"Hahahaha."
At this moment, Emperor Chiyang burst into laughter.
His laughter was filled with boundless madness, "If I can obtain these divine weapons, what can I not abandon?"
The moment his words fell, Emperor Chiyang's arms reappeared.
Then, a roar shook the heavens and earth, "Strip..."
Boom.
The distant Great Chiyang World suddenly began to collapse.
An incomparably vast power of the Great Dao surged into his body.
This was not all.
As the sound of stripping echoed through the heavens and earth, the Great Dao within all the emperors of the Merged Chiyang Realm was instantly stripped away by more than seventy percent.
The Great Dao left them, stripped by Chiyang.
"Realm Lord..."
The Great Emperors of the Chiyang Realm, engaged in life-or-death battles, all looked up in terror.
Their gazes fell upon the figure that seemed to stand at the center of the sun.
That... was their Realm Lord, their god.
But now, their god had stripped them of their power, leaving them at the enemy's mercy.
The six seventh-tier Great Emperors of the Chiyang Realm were instantly reduced to their original state.
"Bang."
Emperor Lie Tian casually killed one.
The Immortal Emperor, whose situation was precarious, also smashed one to death with a single blow.
"Why?"
The remaining four Great Emperors of the Chiyang Realm screamed mournfully.
They could fight to the death, but they didn't want to die so ignominiously.
"Hahahaha."
Chiyang's voice was filled with boundless brutality, "Servants should have the awareness of servants, hahahaha... To die for the rise of your master is your honor."
"I..."
Bang.
The third Great Emperor of the Chiyang Realm perished.
Bang bang.
The fourth, the fifth, perished.
Now, only one remained.
"Chiyang."
The last one was a female Great Emperor.
Her eyes were filled with boundless hatred and unwillingness, "We can fight to the death, but... the Chiyang Realm still has our loved ones."
Her voice was mournful and despairing.
They could accept their power being drained.
The beings of the realm were meant to be controlled by the Realm Lord, and returning their power to the Realm Lord was acceptable.
But...
"Why?"
The female Great Emperor questioned with despair, "The living beings of the Chiyang Realm are innocent. By doing this, you intend to kill hundreds of millions of your subjects."
"Hmph."
At this moment, Chiyang was utterly cold.
His gaze swept over the female Great Emperor, and he coldly sneered, "A bunch of ants..."
"You..."
The female Great Emperor couldn't believe it, "You actually see your own subjects as ants?"
Bang.
The female Great Emperor died.
In the distance... rumbling, the Chiyang Realm had completely collapsed.
An eighth-tier Great World had been instantly drained by Chiyang.
A world that had lost all its power had only one path left: collapse.
Hundreds of millions of living beings would be annihilated in the chaos along with the world.
This scene plunged the world into silence.
Everyone was shocked by Chiyang's madness.
Sword Master and Dragon King also stopped their attacks instinctively, their gazes sweeping over coldly.
As eighth-tier cultivators, they had destroyed countless worlds and killed innumerable beings over the past million years.
However... they would never act against their own subjects.
It was the countless living beings who provided them with an endless stream of insights into the Great Dao.
Chiyang's ruthlessness sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Too cruel.
He was willing to kill the subjects who had sustained him for endless years.
This act caused even the bloodthirsty Dragon King to frown.
Looking at Chiyang now, his gaze was filled with contempt.
