"You old fool, Di Ba, do you think my Star River Empire has no one!"
The overbearing voice fell, followed by a dazzling sword light that split the destructive energy giant finger in the sky with the force of thunder.
The next moment!
A figure appeared in the arena. This person was clad in a golden robe and wielded a peak Emperor-grade golden longsword. His whole body surged with sword intent, and he was indeed a sword cultivator of immense power.
This person was none other than Mo Junlin, the current Emperor Lord of the Star River Empire.
However, Mo Junlin had also stepped into the Venerable realm, just like Di Ba, and stood his ground in the air.
"Venerable realm!?"
Sensing Mo Junlin's aura, Di Ba's expression slightly changed. "No, you should be a half-step Venerable."
As a Venerable-level expert, Di Ba clearly sensed that Mo Junlin's aura was different. Although still very strong, it could not match his.
"Truly a monstrous genius. You are indeed much stronger than your dead father."
"To have touched the Venerable realm at such a young age, truly impressive!"
Di Ba looked at Mo Junlin, who was surrounded by sword energy, and said, "Even if you have broken through to the half-step Venerable realm, you will die today!"
The next moment, he flipped his right hand.
A peak Emperor-grade battle axe appeared in his hand, and his aura surged several points.
*Ching~*
With a move that tore through the air, Mo Junlin looked at his father's murderer, his killing intent surging, old grudges and new hatred!
Both sides were determined to kill the other.
*Boom~~~*
Under the terrifying clash, energy erupted in all directions. The experts on both sides watched the fierce battle with drastically changed expressions. The power of a Venerable-level battle was truly terrifying.
"This... this is simply a fight between gods!"
"The might of a Venerable, it's so powerful~"
The soldiers on both sides were immensely shocked. Even the Ninth-Rank Great Emperors had solemn expressions. Such an aura could be fatal or injurious even if they got close.
In an instant, over a hundred moves had passed!
*Bang~!*
Under the terrifying collision, both retreated dozens of feet.
Blood trickled from the corner of Mo Junlin's mouth. As for Di Ba, although he did not spit blood, his aura was somewhat disordered. Clearly, he had underestimated Mo Junlin, who was only a half-step Venerable.
"Truly a good lad!!"
Di Ba's sharp eyes fell on Mo Junlin opposite him. "Truly unexpected. Fortunately, I killed your father back then, or your Star River Empire would have had two Venerables today!"
"However..."
As he spoke, an evil smile played on his lips. "Even if you can temporarily contend with the Venerable realm, so what?"
"The strength of the Star River Empire is ultimately far inferior."
Then, Di Ba's gaze fell on the Celestial Wolf Empire's forces. "Attack!"
"All who resist the Star River Empire shall be killed without mercy!!"
"Yes, Emperor Lord!!"
Immediately, Di Ba's subordinates and confidantes all attacked. There were three peak Ninth-Rank Great Emperors, and even more Ninth-Rank Great Emperors than the Star River Empire, with over a dozen more. The situation was clearly extremely unfavorable to the Star River Empire.
"Kill!!!"
Seeing this, Mo Yu's killing intent surged to the heavens. The two armies instantly engaged in a fierce battle. The scene of over two million Great Emperors above the Second Rank fighting in a mêlée could only be described as tragic.
In an instant, casualties numbered no less than tens of thousands, including many Intermediate Great Emperors, and even High-Rank Great Emperors.
"Heh, Mo Junlin."
Di Ba looked at the grim-faced Mo Junlin opposite him. "The Star River Empire is ultimately no match for the Celestial Wolf Empire."
"I will let you watch your Star River Empire be destroyed with your own eyes."
"Di Ba, you are courting death!!"
Mo Junlin's fury surged to the heavens, his monstrous sword qi surging as he charged directly at Di Ba. However, Di Ba blocked each attack.
His objective was clear: not to kill or heavily injure Mo Junlin, but merely to stall him. By the time the Star River Empire was annihilated, there would be ample time to kill him.
With the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, Di Ba greatly enjoyed the current situation.
Half a day later.
The situation in the arena became even more unfavorable to the Star River Empire.
Of the over a million experts, fewer than 500,000 remained. The battle was incredibly fierce. As for the Celestial Wolf Empire's side, they still had over 800,000 soldiers.
It could be said that they completely crushed the Star River Empire in terms of numbers.
Not only that!
In terms of quality, the Star River Empire had lost no less than thirty Eighth-Rank Great Emperors, while the Celestial Wolf Empire had at least seventy percent more.
With this imbalance, if no miracle occurred, the Star River Empire's defeat was certain!
"Pfft~"
After clashing with a peak Ninth-Rank Great Emperor of the Celestial Wolf Empire, Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor spat blood and retreated. Looking at the retreating Star River Empire army, he gazed into the distant starry sky.
"Could it be that Heaven intends to destroy my Star River Empire!"
"After tens of thousands of years of inheritance, has the Star River Empire ultimately failed to escape its destiny."
The Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor was filled with grief. He was already severely wounded, and even if he fought again, it would not be of much help. At one point, a decisive look flashed in his eyes. "Even if I die, I will take a peak Ninth-Rank Great Emperor with me!"
"Old man, die!!!"
A Ninth-Rank Great Emperor of the Celestial Wolf Empire saw the Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor split, seized the opportunity, and thrust his sword at him.
"Not good!"
The Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor came to his senses, but it was already too late. He immediately met the attack with his sword.
*Bang~*
The heavily wounded Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor and the Ninth-Rank Great Emperor both retreated. However, before the Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor could regain his strength, another Ninth-Rank Great Emperor of the Celestial Wolf Empire attacked with a long spear.
In the sky, Di Ba, who was blocking Mo Junlin's attack, looked at the arena. "Heh heh, nephew, the Fourth Ancestor of the Star River Empire is probably going to die."
"Bastard!!!"
"Di Ba, if you dare to kill my Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor, I will make your Celestial Wolf Empire pay with its entire nation!!"
The Mo lineage had suffered many misfortunes. The Celestial Wolf Empire had launched countless sneak attacks over the past three hundred years. Currently, the entire Mo clan had fewer than a thousand members. How ridiculous was this.
"Fourth Uncle!!"
Seeing the Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor in peril, Mo Yu was about to rescue him, but was blasted away by two peak Ninth-Rank Great Emperors.
"No~~"
Mo Yu saw the Celestial Wolf Empire's Ninth-Rank Great Emperor's attack approaching, and knew it was too late. He let out an extremely tragic cry!
"Hahaha~~"
"Fourth Ancestor Mo, by killing you, I will surely gain great merit!!"
That Ninth-Rank Great Emperor was filled with excitement. He never expected to get such a windfall.
In a critical moment, like lightning.
Just as the Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor was about to be engulfed by the Ninth-Rank Great Emperor's attack, at the crucial moment, *zizzzle~*
Terrifying lightning struck with incredible speed, appearing like a phantom before the Mo Family's Fourth Ancestor. He reversed his grip, the Sky-Breaking Thunder Spear in his hand, and sent the peak Ninth-Rank Great Emperor flying.
Then...
A figure appeared in the arena. It was a young figure, and when the people of the Star River Empire saw this figure, they were all greatly shocked.
"Ye Xuan!!!"
"That genius who ranked second in the Star River Empire's planetary competition!!"
Upon seeing this, Dai Liubai's pupils suddenly widened. "What!?"
"That Ye Xuan... actually repelled a Ninth-Rank Great Emperor of the Celestial Wolf Empire with one blow!!"
However, Dai Liubai soon discovered a very important matter, which was Ye Xuan's realm. "This is... Eighth, Eighth-Rank Great Emperor, how is this possible!?"
