Chapter 1179: How Could She Be So Strong!
When the body and divine soul of Tianlu Emperor completely dissipated, Empress Tianhong, holding the Shattering God Sword, suddenly softened.
Seeing that Empress Tianhong's physical state was somewhat off, Lu Chen hurriedly supported her waist, helping her stand up completely and infused her with Life Force.
The sword just now had directly drained all of the Slaughter Power from Empress Tianhong's body, leaving even normal Spiritual Power nonexistent. If Lu Chen hadn't promptly infused her with Life Force, her body might have collapsed at this moment.
Even Empress Tianhong hadn't expected the Shattering God Sword to be so terrifying.
She couldn't help but think, is this the might of an Immortal Artifact?
The terror of this Immortal Artifact made even a Great Emperor who wielded Slaughter Power feel fear.
At this moment, in the void where Tianlu Emperor fell, a red cloud formed from Gathering Evil Qi appeared, followed by these Evil Qi rushing madly into Empress Tianhong's body.
After these Evil Qi entered her body, the Slaughter Power on Empress Tianhong grew increasingly intense, and in moments, the nearby void was shrouded in Slaughter Power.
Empress Tianhong's Realm also loosened slightly at this time, but unfortunately, her Realm was still stuck in the Sixth Layer Realm, unable to advance directly.
Empress Tianhong always felt she was just a bit short of breaking through to the Seventh Layer Realm.
The next moment, her gaze fell upon the distant Great Emperors engaged in a fierce battle.
The three Emperors, Dongyang Emperor, Lingyun Emperor, and Zhengyang Emperor, were all in the Seventh Layer Realm, and there were many Great Emperors in the Fourth and Fifth Layer Realms remaining.
If she could kill these Great Emperors, she should easily break through to the Seventh Layer Realm.
Thinking of this, Empress Tianhong gripped the Shattering God Sword tightly and directly transformed into a shadow, flying in front of Dongyang Emperor, who was fighting the Thunderbolt Emperor.
Seeing Empress Tianhong and the Slaughter Power emanating from her, Dongyang Emperor was dumbfounded for a moment, failing to flee immediately.
"This... how is it possible..." Dongyang Emperor mumbled in disbelief.
This woman's appearance meant that Tianlu Emperor was already defeated, perhaps even fallen.
Tianlu Emperor was indeed a Nine Layers of Realm Great Emperor; how could he lose to a Sixth Layer Realm Great Emperor? Is a Great Emperor mastering Slaughter Power truly so terrifying?
While Dongyang Emperor was lost in thought, Empress Tianhong swung her sword, and Slaughter Power, accompanied by Sword Qi from the Shattering God Sword, cut through Dongyang Emperor's body. In the next instant, Dongyang Emperor was split into two halves, his body transforming into starlight.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor went pale with fright.
One sword!
This female devil slew a Seventh Layer Realm Great Emperor with just one sword!
How is this possible!
How can she be so strong!
Wasn't she only at the Sixth Layer Realm? Though they all knew Slaughter Emperor had the ability to battle across Realms, yet instantaneously killing a Seventh Layer Realm Great Emperor with one sword is rather extraordinary!
Soon, Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor noticed the terrifying pressure emanating from the Shattering God Sword in Empress Tianhong's hand.
Lingyun Emperor immediately said, "It's that sword!"
Once Lingyun Emperor spoke, he fled towards the distant horizon without hesitation.
Even though he didn't know whether the sword in Empress Tianhong's hand was a Holy Artifact or an Emperor Artifact, the pressure it emitted already threatened his very life.
Originally a Sixth Layer Realm Slaughter Emperor, she now possessed such a fearful weapon, who could possibly be her match.
The only way to survive was to escape.
Anyway, there were other Great Emperors present to hold off this woman; whoever fled first had the highest chance of surviving, sparing one's own life over others.
Seeing Lingyun Emperor flee directly, Zhengyang Emperor cursed "traitor" and then also fled toward the horizon. Not even a Nine Layers of Realm Great Emperor could contend with this woman.
Currently, the forefront combat strength of two of the Four Great Dynasties has already been taken care of by this female devil, leaving only them two in the Seventh Layer Realm without any chance of victory. Fleeing is their best option.
As for surrendering, they hadn't even considered it. The thick Slaughter Power emanating from this female devil showed she was here to kill them, and would never permit them to surrender.
Perhaps the moment they surrendered, they'd be slaughtered by that female devil the next moment. The most important thing now was to stay away from this female devil, letting the remaining hundred or so Great Emperors delay her.
Although those Great Emperors weren't particularly powerful, their advantage was in numbers. Even if the female devil could kill one Great Emperor with each sword, it would take quite some time, which was enough for their escape.
However, what Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor had not anticipated was that Empress Tianhong did not immediately go to kill those hundred-plus Great Emperors.
Empress Tianhong suddenly released a dense blood mist from her body. Soon, the entire battlefield was enveloped in it, and those Emperors quickly realized their bodies seemed to be locked by something.
A sense of life-and-death crisis surged in every Great Emperor's heart, even Lu Chen, within Empress Tianhong's Domain of Slaughter, felt his strength significantly suppressed.
Lu Chen clearly perceived that Empress Tianhong's strength had increased again. This was the terrifying nature of Slaughter Emperors, who gained strength through killing.
Just now, Empress Tianhong killed the Ninth Layer Realm Tianlu Emperor, then the Seventh Layer Realm Dongyang Emperor, and now her power far exceeded that of a typical Ninth Layer Realm Great Emperor.
Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor saw the space was sealed, their faces changed, chills ran down their spines.
They knew this was the Slaughter Domain. Within it, they couldn't use Space Teleportation, leaving them only with collaborating to break the Slaughter Domain for a slim chance of survival.
Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor exchanged glances. Lingyun Emperor said, "It seems this female devil is determined to kill us."
Zhengyang Emperor chuckled lightly, "Those who validate the Dao through killing are all madmen. We shouldn't have provoked Daxia Dynasty from the start."
Lingyun Emperor said, "It's too late for regrets now. We should focus on working out how to break the Slaughter Domain and escape."
Zhengyang Emperor said, "No matter how strong this female devil is, she's only in the Sixth Layer Realm. Although the Spirit Sword she holds poses a great threat to us, the Slaughter Domain has nothing to do with her sword. As long as we all join forces, we can surely break her Slaughter Domain."
Lingyun Emperor and Zhengyang Emperor were not primarily worried about Empress Tianhong's actual strength; they feared the sword she wielded, having already felt the extraordinary nature of the Shattering God Sword.
In both their views, the reason Tianlu Emperor and Dongyang Emperor were defeated by Empress Tianhong was that she possessed the Shattering God Sword.
They were not too concerned with the Slaughter Domain Empress Tianhong created using her own power.
At this moment, Lingyun Emperor loudly transmitted, "All Great Emperors of the Four Dynasties Coalition, gather closer to this Emperor!"
