Chapter 1474: Spearhead Points to the Supreme

Can you believe it, the black dog was lecturing others not to bite people?

The rotting corpse had a strange look in his eyes, and he really wanted to say, "In the past, you often chased and bit me! Even before the Heavenly Emperor grew up, he was bitten by dogs every day. There's no need to say more about this."

The bald man was also speechless. He opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to bring up those dark chapters of history.

"With all due respect, it would be a blessing if you just didn't bite others!" Jiudao Yi dared to speak, interjecting this suddenly while battling the White Peacock.

The Dog Emperor was enraged and embarrassed, saying, "Nonsense! I, the Emperor, never bite people!"

"Stop talking!" the rotting corpse interrupted. He had originally been very sad, wanting to cry his heart out over the many tragic events of the day, but now, this stubborn dog was almost making him laugh out of frustration.

The black dog ignored them, shouting at Emperor Wu and the master of his Black Blood Institute, "You, and you, stay far away from me! Don't accidentally bite *me*!"

At this moment, those few individuals were truly fighting like mad, fearless and covered in blood, with countless corpses underfoot. When they opened their mouths, their pristine white teeth were stained with blood.

Emperor Wu fought valiantly; with a single "Millstone Fist," he pulverized everything in his path!

Next, he unleashed his "Seven Deaths Body," constantly splitting, so his figures appeared everywhere. Unseen paths stretched behind him, and dark figures emerged, empowering him.

With a boom, Tai Yi scattered a group of Soul River creatures in front of him and advanced, bathed in a rain of blood.

Causing such a huge commotion, they naturally drew the attention of the powerful beings among the Soul River creatures, and some individuals targeted them.

The critical point was that these few individuals became so agitated and frenzied that they even resorted to biting, occasionally killing powerful monsters with their mouths, which made both allies and enemies shudder.

The rotting corpse shouted a reminder, "Don't treat the Soul River lightly! These filthy things here can't be eaten; they'll kill you! They all contain ill omens, so be careful not to let the strangeness corrupt your true self!"

The master of the Black Blood Institute bared his teeth, which were pristine white but stained with blood. He wanted to curse loudly, "Who the hell would want to eat this? My body is going mad now, a little out of control; I can't restrain myself!"

The rotting corpse clicked his tongue, saying, "These old rascals are truly ferocious. We need to go crazy too, or we'll be outdone! We must quickly take down these super-sized opponents here and set an example for them!"

Tai Yi cursed, "You're the old rascal! I've lived for an entire epoch! I've been alive since the end of the last world!"

The rotting corpse found fighting the Six-Headed Beast quite difficult; this was truly a terrifying and powerful enemy.

The Six-Headed Beast was born with six great divine abilities. In ancient times, it rampaged across battlefields, slaughtering vast numbers of Heavenly Court adherents and stirring up boundless bloodshed.

The rotting corpse wished he could kill it immediately. However, with his current body, annihilating all enemies while making light of it was somewhat unrealistic.

He said unwillingly, "My main soul ventured alone into the Ancient Netherworld. Otherwise, today, I might have annihilated all of you! Do you all think I'm weak? I was one of the strongest back then; if my main soul were still here, the position of Heavenly Emperor would surely have been mine! My main soul got lost, and I even feel he has split again. Damn it, what is he doing? Perhaps he thinks the Ancient Netherworld is too beautiful and doesn't want to come back, deciding to rule there. Regardless, he's so disobedient that I've disowned him. From now on, I am the supreme one!"

The rotting corpse cursed as he fought.

The Dog Emperor was bathed in a rain of blood, and swathes of Soul River creatures died around it.

It also fought to the point of madness; while it was said that the others were fighting madly, it was actually crazier than anyone else. Its brother, the Saint Emperor, had fallen in battle, and its nephew, the Little Saint Ape, was just a rotting corpse.

Today, it was deeply saddened and lost, thinking of the Heavenly Court's past glory and seeing its current decline, how things and people had changed. It no longer needed to be provoked; it was already mad.

It continuously clashed head-on with that dangerous monster, which was wrapped in chains and had just broken its shackles. Energy boiled, and the order of the Grand Dao continuously burned and shattered.

The large bell also struck the sword's edge, clanging loudly. Countless dao patterns appeared, the sky shattered, and stars shone, continuously falling.

This was a special area where stars from beyond the domain crashed down, causing the Soul River's waters to surge, sweeping across heaven and earth, with countless soul lights shooting everywhere.

If this weren't a place of Imperial battles, this ground would surely have long since collapsed.

"Kill! I, the Emperor, must obliterate you, you filthy monster! What Soul River? What governing the rise and fall of all heavens? This is nothing but a place of filth! Creatures from the source of ill omens and strangeness, get out! Whatever you are, supreme beings, just wait! I, the Emperor, will cleanse you with blood!"

The black dog had gone mad, standing upright and running faster and faster. It was using the unique techniques passed down by the Heavenly Emperor, its movements transforming into a ray of light, gradually transcending the constraints of time.

Later, after it broke through its speed limit, time fragments appeared everywhere around it, transforming into long knives and long swords, joining it in slaying enemies.

"Roar!"

It must be said that this black-furred monster was terrifying; even in this state, it still blocked the Dog Emperor's attacks.

In fact, this monster was indeed ridiculously strong and extremely dangerous; otherwise, it wouldn't have been shackled and restrained by its own kind until the battle began.

If it went mad, it would even slaughter the native creatures of the Soul River, making it very difficult to subdue.

Now, as this monster's body glowed, space collapsed and split apart. The dimensional space slashes and time-long blades clanged and sparked as they struck its body.

This monster was too strong, somewhat exceeding the black dog's expectations.

Terrifying attacks and powerful lethality only left wound after wound on its body, from which black blood flowed, but it did not fall; it was not slain.

The black dog was furious. If it couldn't even kill one monster, how could it flatten the Soul River, or how could it kill those big ones?

It knew that the root of all its problems was its depleted vitality; its body was too decayed, and it could no longer unleash the dominant techniques of its past.

"I, the Emperor, am still young, still full of passion; it's not time to fall yet! Kill!" it roared.

Then, it meditated on its old friends, recalling the glorious era of the past.

One heroic figure after another, one astonishing powerhouse after another, were reflected in its mind.

"Where are my old friends?!" it growled.

This kind of meditation was terrifying, as if summoning back old friends from the netherworld, guiding their fallen souls back from the darkness.

"Kill!"

The black dog cried out. Beside it, the blurry figure of a monkey appeared, exploding with golden light, swinging a great staff, and charging forward with it to kill.

Next, a man radiating golden energy, looking down on the world, roared as golden sacred blood burst forth and chaotic qi exploded simultaneously. The Imperial Son also came to fight!

At this moment, the black dog became incredibly powerful. Not to mention other figures, just those two accompanying it shattered the monster in front, even breaking the iron chains on its body.

However, this monster was indeed terrifying, instantly healing its body and recovering.

This type of creature could regenerate and reshape its body from a single drop of blood, making it extremely difficult to kill.

However, the black dog was already prepared. It looked up at the void, as if seeing countless old friends, and with tears in its eyes, it said, "You are always here, right by my side!"

With a bang, this time, the person it meditated upon clearly exceeded everyone's imagination. That was... a Heavenly Emperor!

It must be said, it was truly mad to dare to meditate upon an invincible being of that level. If anything went wrong, its own body would be unable to bear it and would explode.

What it could rely on was having shared countless years of hardship with that person, knowing and understanding them too well!

In a daze, it seemed to see that person lying in a bronze coffin, floating in an eternally unknown place.

But now, he directly stood up!

Next, with a single step, he crossed hundreds of millions of miles and descended!

Meditating on this person caused heaven and earth to collapse, all things in the world to wither; it was terrifying to the extreme.

In an instant, a huge explosion occurred here; this void seemed unable to bear his presence.

Even if it was just a blurry phantom projected by the black dog's meditation, far from his true form, this person was too strong.

A cauldron hung above his head, and boundless Grand Dao light flowed beneath his feet.

With a casual strike, he simply wielded a fist-seal!

In front, that monster exploded. Along with the shackles on its body and those chains, all were shattered by this punch, completely disintegrating.

The extremely dangerous monster was blasted to death, completely annihilated!

Nothing remained at the original spot; all blood and ominous substances were incinerated into ashes, completely obliterated by that single punch.

However, that blurry phantom also instantly dissipated and vanished.

In the dark, there seemed to be the faint trembling sound of a bronze coffin, but it was too distant and too ethereal, making it difficult to determine if it was an illusion.

The black dog shook its head vigorously, then plopped down onto the ground, gasping for air with its mouth agape, utterly exhausted. Meditating on old friends and unleashing such wondrous techniques had put too much burden on itself.

"I, the Emperor, am tired. I'll rest for a bit!"

The Dog Emperor panted with its tongue out. The blood mist around its body was dim, yet it was continuously being consumed and burned away.

Its chest heaved violently. That kind of meditation was too difficult, bearing some kind of dao mark and a supreme artistic conception, but ultimately, the power unleashed was still its own!

Now, it was fighting to the point of exhaustion, almost at the end of its rope.

However, it finally eliminated the powerful enemy. Not only that, but the surroundings were incredibly desolate and utterly empty, because everything had been pulverized by that Heavenly Emperor's punch just now.

Even very distant areas were affected, and countless Soul River creatures lay dead, blasted into a pulp.

The Dog Emperor's sudden burst of power stunned all the Soul River creatures.

That phantom and that fist-seal just now made their bodies turn cold, almost freezing them in place; they were truly terrified.

In a trance, some leaders among the Soul River creatures seemed to be transported back in time to the years when the Heavenly Emperor fought the Soul River, which truly terrified everyone!

"Kill!" Eventually, a defiant powerhouse among the native Soul River creatures shouted loudly, commanding everyone to besiege the black dog again.

"Who dares to touch my martial uncle?!" The bald man charged over, very worried, guarding the black dog's side, and asked, "Martial uncle, are you alright?"

Now, the Dog Emperor was coughing up blood, but it was all solidified clots, not fresh blood. He sat on the ground, gasping heavily.

"I'm fine," the black dog said. "I can kill enemies even sitting here. With a different method, I can kill even more!" With a boom, it attacked again using its specialized domain techniques.

Moreover, after the careful preparation just now, it successfully wrapped the Imperial Bell with domain runes, propelling it to blast forward.

This was terrifying; it was simply "kill gods, kill buddhas." It made the native Soul River creatures howl in despair, and in an instant, a large area was cleared.

The bald man felt relieved and went to kill enemies again.

Suddenly, a Soul River creature moved through the void, disrupting time itself. It was very terrifying, definitely a dark powerhouse extremely skilled in assassination.

It was approaching the black dog, intending to deliver a fatal blow and assassinate it!

However, at this moment, a terrifying black light appeared behind it, holding a black war spear. With a *thud*, it pierced through the creature's back of the head, pinning its soul light.

The creature screamed, its body exploding with boundless light as it tried to break free, but a Mother Gold Seal smashed onto its body, causing it to explode.

"You... *Roar!*" The powerful creature was extremely unwilling and furious before its death, letting out a final roar.

Li spoke from within the black light, saying, "Wherever there is injustice, there I am. I am upright and impartial. You broke the rules!"

After killing this creature, he turned and ran, disappearing to the other side of the battlefield.

In the distance, a leader staring at this spot had cold light in its eyes and was extremely furious.

The Dog Emperor was displeased, saying, "What's there to be angry about? Do you really think a sneak attack can kill me, the Emperor? Who am I? I'm the ancestor of this kind of thing! Grandpa here has dense domain layouts; I detected that scoundrel long ago. I was just waiting for him to come and die. That black kid is just stealing credit, stealing kills!"

Not long after, when the master of the Black Blood Institute encountered a crisis, a long saber suddenly appeared, slicing off the head of a Soul River creature with a *whoosh*. It was Li striking again.

"Wherever I am needed, there I shall be!"

He appeared and disappeared mysteriously, impossible to guard against. He was indeed a professional at dirty tricks, making the Soul River powerhouses shudder, finding him somewhat indefensible.

Not long after, a very terrifying powerhouse who was fighting the Martial Madman was directly smashed by the Ten Thousand Mother Gold Seal, turning into blood mud and soul rain, and was killed.

At this moment, Emperor Wu even found him somewhat pleasing to the eye, no longer dwelling on those old troubles from back then.

But the next instant, the Martial Madman's expression froze again, because he saw the item in Li's hand. What was that?

The Ten Thousand Mother Gold Seal!

At this moment, Emperor Wu was enraged. "You have the Ten Thousand Mother Gold Seal in your hand? What the hell is under the lid of that coffin blocking the gate of the Great Underworld?"

"Li the Blackie, I really want to... kill you!"

Li had already transformed into a black light and darted to the other side, going to ambush another powerhouse. He, instead, seemed like a source of strangeness, becoming a horrifying sight.

"Wherever I am needed, there I shall be!"

"..." Both allies and enemies were speechless.

With a boom, the bald man's aura exploded, his energy tearing through the sky. Then he unleashed the "One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones" secret art, followed by a Heavenly Emperor's secret method, instantly stacking his combat power tenfold on his original foundation!

*Puff, puff, puff!*

He was unstoppable, directly pulverizing his opponent. Then he continued to advance, quickly slaying three more powerful creatures in succession, no weaker than the previous one. He tore through the army, blasting apart swathe after swathe of native Soul River creatures.

"Good!" the black dog shouted, finally laughing out loud, feeling both relieved and a little sad.

"I'll blast you too!" the rotting corpse roared, wielding a pickaxe in both hands, slashing horizontally and cleaving vertically. It blasted half of the Six-Headed Beast's body, sending blood splashing into the void.

At the same time, Number Nine's blood surged, his gray hair splayed out in a furious rage. He pierced through the White Peacock, sending its soul blood flying three thousand *zhang* away.

However, at this moment, as the leading powerhouses of the Soul River, the Six-Headed Beast and the White Peacock suddenly vanished from the battlefield, leaving only some bloodstains.

This was too fast, silent and traceless. To be able to disappear without a trace from Jiudao Yi and the rotting corpse's final killing blows was truly terrifying and chilling.

"Retreat!"

Jiudao Yi and the black dog both growled softly, calling the bald man and Li back, telling them not to advance rashly, but to retreat.

Instantly, they gathered together, staring at the dark depths of the Soul River.

An inexplicable aura permeated the air, extremely chilling, gradually making this place unimaginably terrifying.

For a moment, all heavens trembled, and all realms seemed about to fall and collapse!

Throughout all heavens, all living beings felt it and couldn't help but tremble.

On the Soul River's side, countless creatures densely packed together knelt down, kowtowing in worship.

"Is there really a supreme big one that has revived?!" the Black Emperor whispered; it was shaking the bell, using the Heavenly Emperor's weapon to form a protective light screen, shielding everyone.

Otherwise, that mere aura would be too terrifying, with immense destructive power, forcing all living beings to kneel and prostrate themselves in worship.

In the darkness, the ominous substance was so dense it couldn't be dispersed.

At the ultimate end of the Soul River's depths, it was pitch black, one couldn't see their hand in front of their face, and nothing was clear.

Since ancient times, no one had known what it was truly like there, or what it contained; it was utterly mysterious. That was the source of all strangeness!

If the Imperial Bell weren't here, no one would be able to stand upright in this place.

At this moment, at the dark depths, a terrifying light suddenly appeared. Looking closely, it sent shivers down one's spine: a colossal eye had suddenly opened!

"Why bother? Why the trouble? All shall die!"

A creature spoke, as if sitting at the end of the long river of ancient time, issuing a decree to all living beings, high above, cold and ruthless.

At this moment, in Qingzhou.

No matter which direction Chu Feng walked, a special path would appear under his feet, with Grand Dao patterns spreading across its surface. Its destination, surprisingly, always pointed to the Soul River!

The Soul River, its depths.

"Is there really a supreme big one that has revived?!" the Black Emperor whispered; it was shaking the bell, using the Heavenly Emperor's weapon to form a protective light screen, shielding everyone.

"Kill! I, the Emperor, must obliterate you, you filthy monster! What Soul River? What governing the rise and fall of all heavens? This is nothing but a place of filth! Creatures from the source of ill omens and strangeness, get out! Whatever you are, supreme beings, just wait! I, the Emperor, will cleanse you with blood!"

The Dog Emperor became resolute. The trump card left by the Heavenly Emperor, perhaps it should be unleashed now!

Jiudao Yi was swift and decisive; he pulled it back, telling it not to act rashly. Instead, he himself raised the war spear in his hand, which looked dilapidated and rotten.

Jiudao Yi's words were slow, but incredibly powerful; he said, "Do you know what this is? It's the weapon left by that one from back then! If you dare to make a move, today... I'll summon that person back, and he'll poke you to death with a single finger. Soul River, if you dare to defy, just try it!"
