The Dragon Mark Compass took away something crucial to the Demon Sword.
Something unseen, unfelt, ethereal.
"I'll slaughter you, this Emperor!" The Demon Sword had gone mad.
Its sword intent surged forth, covering everything.
The Demonic Sword Intent shot out in all directions.
Chen Fan's body was instantly riddled with holes, as if subjected to a thousand cuts.
"Golden Silk Cicada Robe."
At the critical moment, a lifeline appeared.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe could defend against all sharp weapons.
*Hum.*
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe condensed into a single point, protecting the crimson heart and the power of the Great Dao.
Chen Fan's figure reappeared in the distance.
His pale face was devoid of any color.
His Dao was exhausted.
Then... he would kill again.
"Go."
Chen Fan roared.
A mighty river emerged from within him.
The last Great Dao, the Water Dao.
Four Daos fused into his sword... and he struck again.
*Boom.*
Chaos collapsed.
A single sword strike unleashed four top-tier Great Dao rules, engulfing the Demon Sword's form.
"Little bastard, ah..." the Demon Sword cried out again.
In the destructive storm, a tattered body fell out from within.
Seventh-tier Demonic Sword Dao, Great Dao like a dragon, incredibly robust.
But this Great Dao was now covered in wounds.
His Great Dao had been injured.
"Huff, huff, huff."
Across from him, Chen Fan panted like a bellows. "Still alive, damn it."
Seventh-tier Great Emperor, so hard to kill.
"Little bastard." Emperor Demon Sword was on the verge of madness.
He, a dignified seventh-tier Great Emperor, had been forced to such a state by someone.
His physical body, his Great Dao... all severely wounded.
He was insane.
Since achieving the fruit of Great Emperor, he had never sustained such heavy injuries.
Not even when fighting other Great Emperors.
"I will kill you, I will kill you... Dao Sword, appear..."
*Boom.*
The Great Dao within Chen Fan instantly condensed into a demonic sword.
Without the grand spectacle of before, it was merely an ordinary long sword condensed from the Great Dao.
Yet, this sword split the heavens.
*Rumble.*
As soon as the Demonic Sword appeared, the distant Kuang Di and the others instantly developed sword marks on their physical bodies.
Dense sword marks pierced their bodies, directly damaging their inner Daos.
"Quick, retreat."
Immortal Emperor, wielding an Emperor's weapon, rushed to their rescue.
His own physical body had also been rent.
But with the Emperor's weapon, he forcefully withstood the sword intent.
However, Kuang Di and the others were frozen in place, only able to watch as their bodies were slowly cut apart.
"Retreat."
Immortal Emperor protected them and quickly retreated.
Further away, the world barrier of the Realm of Life and Death also bore dense sword marks.
Even just the sword intent was like heavenly might.
"Withdraw."
Immortal Emperor directly shoved them into the Realm of Life and Death, shouting, "Control the world and escape, Zhao Kai, Xi Qiu... rescue them."
Two Dao Lords instantly appeared, healing the Dao injuries of Kuang Di and the other two.
In just this short while, the Daos within their bodies were on the verge of collapse.
*Boom.*
The Realm of Life and Death rapidly retreated.
The Realm of Life and Death was about to shatter.
Immortal Emperor turned, releasing all one hundred and eighty cellular spaces within his body, injecting them into the Emperor's weapon.
The black rod Emperor's weapon instantly grew, spanning tens of miles.
"Smash you to death."
Immortal Emperor roared.
With a thunderous impact, all the surging sword intent was blocked.
*Rumble.*
The Emperor's weapon vibrated continuously.
The intent of that Demonic Sword was too ferocious.
With each vibration of the Emperor's weapon, Immortal Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, and one cellular space's power dissipated.
In a blink of an eye, the energy of the one hundred and eighty cellular spaces was almost depleted.
"City Lord."
Immortal Emperor roared, "I can't hold on."
The Realm of Life and Death had not escaped far enough.
"I can't either." Chen Fan responded loudly.
Yes, he couldn't hold on either.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe could barely protect him now.
"Seventh-tier, too damn strong," Chen Fan cursed.
His body contained Yin and Yang, and he had the sixth-tier Daos of Darkness and Water.
As for the Daos he had comprehended in the Realm of Life and Death, they were too weak, and the Thousand Dao Sword was useless.
Most importantly, the Realm of Life and Death was no longer his.
Although he could still draw power from it, he would not do so.
The Realm of Life and Death now belonged to the two World Lords.
Now, he could only rely on himself.
"What other means do I have?" His heart was filled with anxiety.
If he had no other means, he was doomed today.
Across from him, the Demon Sword had yet to make a move.
Even just the sword intent of the Dao Sword had pushed him to the brink.
Fortunately, the Demon Sword did not seem in a hurry to attack.
"Little scoundrel."
Emperor Demon Sword's face contorted.
His eyes were filled with immense venom and hatred.
To be pushed this far by a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor, his rage could not be extinguished even by burning chaos.
He stepped forward, and with each step, his sword intent grew stronger.
"Roar."
A roaring sound echoed in his mind.
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe was about to give out.
When one's realm reached a certain level, exceeding the limit of the Golden Silk Cicada Robe, although it would not shatter, it would disappear.
Once its energy was depleted, it would vanish.
At a certain moment...
"Chii."
The Golden Silk Cicada Robe truly disappeared.
Its energy had been exhausted.
The power of Yin and Yang, Darkness, Water... all Dao power dissipated.
"I am not reconciled."
Chen Fan's eyes were filled with deep unwillingness. "I haven't rescued you yet, how can I die... Roar..."
He roared madly.
"Ant."
Emperor Demon Sword advanced step by step. "To have forced me to this state, you can be proud even in death."
He was a dignified seventh-tier Great Emperor.
"I shall take your Great Dao, and perish."
The Dao Sword finally struck down.
The most powerful strike of a seventh-tier Great Emperor, the final strike, the killing blow.
*Boom.*
The sword intent invaded his Dao, annihilating everything.
"No..."
Chen Fan roared, "No one can kill me, no one... Give me strength..."
"Heh heh."
Emperor Demon Sword's cold laughter was filled with utter disdain.
To still want to resist at this stage?
There was no chance.
Even an eighth-tier Great Emperor could not turn the tables at this level.
Therefore, he was supremely confident.
However...
*Hum.*
Suddenly, a seed of life and death ignited in Chen Fan's heart.
Initially, it was just a tiny spark, but it instantly expanded.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
This fire of life and death burned, and the majestic power of the Great Dao of Life and Death coursed through his entire body.
"Hahaha."
Laughter echoed through heaven and earth. "I knew you were still here, hahaha..."
Chen Fan laughed heartily.
At first, he thought the Dao of Life and Death had vanished.
And this Dao of Life and Death originally belonged to him.
No one could completely strip it away.
Not even himself.
Now, Life and Death had finally appeared amidst layers of crisis.
"No flying."
With a shout, Life and Death, Yin and Yang, Dark Water... six Daos pierced through heaven and earth.
The power of the Heavenly Crown once again fixed Emperor Demon Sword in place.
And the Heavenly Cloud Sword, this time carrying the power of the six Daos, struck down mercilessly.
Without any reservation, a desperate sword strike.
"No!"
Emperor Demon Sword's pupils contracted.
How could this be?
The one who was at his limit had actually manifested his Dao again.
"You didn't dissipate the Life and Death..."
Chii.
The Heavenly Cloud Sword struck down.
