Chapter 2107 : The Demon Emperor with a Global Vision

"Sharp tongue, swift death."

Ziyue, the Demon Lord, descended into utter madness. He manifested his true form as a Demon God, revealing himself to be an 8-Armed Asura of Purgatory.

At this moment, upon the 8 arms of the Violet Night Demon Sovereign, each commanded a Primordial Chaos Treasure—there were Primordial War Spears, Heaven-Slaughtering Blades, Sky-Rending Ancient Swords, and even Asura Wheels.

Demon Lord Ziye simultaneously wielded 8 divine weapons, pushing the power of his Unique True Form to its absolute limit as he charged forth with near-maniacal fury.

It must be admitted that this Purple Night Demon Sovereign truly lived up to his reputation as the second greatest Divine General under the banner of the Otherworldly Demon Emperor. Be it his talent for combat arts or his physical constitution, both could be called unparalleled throughout the ages.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power, his combat prowess nearly capable of sweeping across all directions. Were it an ordinary Wuji Sage, they would likely be utterly defeated in a single encounter under such an unrelenting onslaught.

Yet Eldrin showed no fear. With a surge of raw physical power, he manifested the Void-Returning Seal into the form of the Loess Sovereign Bell, then fiercely activated the supreme treasure to suppress his opponent.

"Boom—"

With a deafening roar, Violet Night Demon Venerable was forcibly suppressed upon the Chaotic Arena, trapped and unable to break free for the time being.

Eldrin then turned to survey his surroundings and spoke in a calm voice, "Why throw your lives away?"

“Bang—!”

In an instant, Eldrin unleashed a full-force punch, instantly shattering a Demi-Saint’s physical body into a mist of blood and flesh.

Then he kicked out once more, instantly shattering a Connate Cardinal treasure into several pieces. The fragments shot into the body of the Demi-Saint, nailing him dead on the spot within the Heavenly Abyss.

Yet the saints from the foreign realms remained unbridled in their arrogance. They all unleashed their full power, summoning their innate supreme treasures to suppress Eldrin (Person Name).

Hundreds of innate spiritual treasures soared into the sky, unleashing an unending torrent of devastating bombardments that nearly shattered the entire Celestial Abyss.

Eldrin stood at the heart of the battlefield, feeling immense pressure as these cultivators unleashed their full power.

"Ah, perish!"

Eldrin (Person Name) was driven to the brink of utter madness, finally compelled to unleash the authority of the Sacrificial Path.

In that instant, a full 20-4 divine forms of the Great Dao materialized, swirling around Eldrin and converging upon him, forcibly elevating his combat prowess to yet another extreme.

"Boom—"

Then, Eldrin erupted with his full power, striking down with overwhelming force that instantly sent countless Innate Supreme Treasures flying in all directions.

In an instant, the expressions of everyone present shifted dramatically.

The saints of the Northern Abyss were seized with terror. 1 of them stammered in a trembling voice, "His flesh has transcended mortality, merging with the Primordial Chaos. He has shattered the barriers of the Ultimate Path and fully stepped into the realm of the Heavenly Emperor."

"Beneath the Celestial Emperor, I reign supreme!"

"Come and fight, all of you!"

With a single move that defeated all his foes, Eldrin’s battle intent grew ever more ferocious. Standing alone in the boundless void, he faced a 100 foreign quasi-sages, determined to slaughter them until every last 1 bowed in submission.

After who knows how long they had been locked in battle, the foreign saints could endure it no longer.

Eldrin single-handedly slaughtered the foreign saints until their corpses littered the ground, shattered the Dao Ancestors' ambitions, and even beheaded the so-called invincible Violet Night Demon Sovereign within the Celestial Abyss.

In the end, after more than 40 Demi-Saints had fallen in succession, the remaining foreign saints finally lost all will to fight, fleeing 1 after another back to the northern shore of the Celestial Abyss.

It was not that their Dao hearts had completely shattered, but that they understood continuing the fight held no possibility of victory.

"Finally, it's over."

After decisively defeating the foreign saints, Eldrin slowly drew a deep breath, then feigned a grievously wounded state—drenched in blood as though having paid an immense price.

At the same time, the Primordial Demon Ape approached and stood calmly before Eldrin (Person Name).

"Are you still able to fight?"

"I can still fight."

Leaning on his Heavenly Halberd to stand, Eldrin (Person Name) looked pale as he gazed at the Primeval Demon Ape (Spirit Beast) and said, "Had you struck earlier, I might not have prevailed."

"You have expended a great deal, and I truly should not seize this opportunity while you're vulnerable. But I have no other choice."

The Primeval Ape Demon did not answer, merely shaking its head slightly as it said.

At this point, the Primeval Ape fell silent for a moment before speaking again: "As I've said before, above the Abyss we each serve our own masters. There's no need to hold back for the sake of past camaraderie."

"I understand."

Eldrin nodded, his expression turning grave for the first time.

The Primordial Demon Ape laughed, drawing his Primordial War Spear and soaring into the sky as the True Spirit Avatar behind him gradually materialized.

"Hmm—"

In that instant, the Primordial Demon Ape unleashed its full power, instantly merging as 1 with the war spear, erupting with the most extreme combat prowess of its entire life.

In this battle, the Primeval Ape-Demon erupted with its full power from the very start, unleashing every means at its disposal.

He transcended amidst his ultimate eruption, each strike a full-force blow fueled by burning vitality, as if determined to perish together with Eldrin in a mutual annihilation.

"You're burning your flesh and bones—have you gone mad?"

Eldrin (Person Name) was inwardly shaken, immediately channeling his full power to wield the Chaos Heavenly Halberd in opposition.

The Primeval Ape Demon, however, smiled faintly and spoke in a tranquil tone, "In today’s battle, only 1 of us shall walk away alive."

"I've told you before, I won't hold back—and you shouldn't either!"

"Boom—"

As the words fell, the Primordial Demon Ape abruptly swung its spear downward. An overwhelming divine power pierced straight through Eldrin's (Person Name) Chaos Heaven Halberd, sending him (Person Name) flying backward on the spot.

At this moment, the Primordial Demon Ape ignited its blood and bones in an ultimate eruption, its power nearly transcending the limits of defying the Heavenly Emperor—seemingly separated from the Chaos Heavenly Emperor by merely a hair’s breadth.

"Come, let us battle! Show me the chasm that lies between us!"

The Primeval Ape-Demon went completely berserk. He was burning himself out entirely, erupting into a frenzied, ultimate battle.

A solemn expression appeared on Eldrin’s face. He understood that the Primordial Demon Ape was resolved to die. Without hesitation, he pushed the authority of the Sacrificial Dao to its absolute limit.

In an instant, 20-4 divine forms of the Great Dao spiraled and converged, empowering Eldrin’s physical body. His combat strength shattered through the boundaries of the Heavenly Emperor’s domain.

Such an ultimate battle was akin to 2 supreme Heavenly Emperors fighting with their lives on the line. The vast Chaotic Sea roiled in turmoil, and the boundless Chaotic Abyss was nearly severed by the residual shockwaves of their clash.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In the extreme collision, the 2 descended into utter madness, exchanging tens of thousands of moves in the blink of an eye.

Until that very moment, the Primordial Demon Ape suddenly roared, soaring into the sky as it gripped the Primordial War Spear, standing tall above the Abyssal Chasm.

In an instant, the divine manifestation of the Great Dao behind him split into 9 parts, only to merge moments later into a single Great Dao Immortal Rod.

"Take this strike from my staff."

The Primeval Ape Demon roared furiously, pouring every last ounce of its essence, energy, and spirit into the Great Dao Immortal Staff, unleashing the most devastating strike of its entire existence.

"Boom!"

Then, the Abyss shattered, the Primordial Chaos fractured, and the endless River of Time crumbled into nothingness.

Facing this strike head-on, Eldrin understood with absolute clarity that the Ancient Demon Ape's attack had transcended the mortal realm's limits, fully reaching the domain of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.

Even a Chaos Heavenly Emperor like Daoist Tai Zhuo would face the risk of severe injury if he took this blow head-on.

Unless Eldrin exposed his Space-Time Divine Form to evade this strike, or unleashed his full power to withstand it head-on, he would be in grave danger of suffering severe injuries.

Clang—

In the blink of an eye, Eldrin chose to unleash his most devastating strike to clash head-on.

But then Eldrin (Person Name) unleashed his full power, pushing the 9 Divine Forms of the Sacrificial Path to their absolute limit, while simultaneously driving the Primordial Chaos Form to its peak. He then unleashed a strike that could truly be called earth-shattering and unparalleled through the ages.

With a single strike, Eldrin unleashed the Chaos Heaven Halberd, resulting in a cataclysmic collision with the Great Dao Rod.

"Dang—"

After a momentary collision, the vast Chaos Heavenly Abyss fell into profound silence.

Then, the vast and boundless chaotic waters began to collapse violently, as though the center of the battlefield were being devoured by a black hole.

Then, a shockwave violently erupted, instantly piercing through the Vast Celestial Abyss. Countless chaotic waters surged forth, flooding into the southern abyss and even sweeping across both its northern and southern banks.

When all had settled, the crowd finally saw the Primordial Ape standing proudly at the center of the battlefield, its form towering against the heavens.

Eldrin, meanwhile, knelt on 1 knee, his face drained of all color.

"In this battle, I prevailed by half a move, yet regrettably failed to achieve my heart's desire."

The Primeval Demon Ape spoke slowly, a faint smile gracing his features, yet a trace of regret lingered in his expression.

But before the saints of Northern Abyss could rejoice, the fleshly body of the Primeval Ape completely disintegrated, scattering into dust as if it had vanished into thin air.

It turned out that the Primordial Demon Ape had won this half-move by unleashing a technique that reduced itself to ashes.

"Pfft—"

Eldrin spat out a mouthful of blood before slowly rising to his feet.

He watched the gradually dissipating Primordial Demon Ape and sighed softly, "To refuse to attack the outnumbered—this is the unyielding pride that endures through the ages, a loyalty that towers above the clouds."

“I would rather die than let you escape my suppression. This is my unyielding loyalty.”

"You are a man of both loyalty and righteousness, truly worthy of the title of the finest divine general in these foreign lands."

"What a pity... you and I are fated to be adversaries."

Eldrin let out a soft sigh and finally sheathed the War Spear of the Primeval Ape in a measured motion.

After completing this step, he rose calmly and surveyed his surroundings, only to discover several majestic figures had unknowingly emerged within the void.

The figure on the left rode upon the Lunar Chariot of the Supreme Yin (Magic Treasure), while the 1 on the right grasped the Chaos War Spear (Magic Treasure).

In the surroundings stood a woman of unparalleled grace and a sinister man with a treasure gourd hanging at his waist.

"The Lunar Demon Sovereign, the Prison-Suppressing Demon Sovereign, the 7 Emotions Demon Sovereign, and the Malevolent Spirit Monarch."

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke slowly, his expression remarkably composed as he remarked, "I never expected that the 4 of you would join forces to deal with a mere quasi-sage like myself."

"Arch-Sage, you are far more than just an Arch-Sage."

The Lunar Demon Lord spoke, then turned his serene gaze toward Eldrin. "I shall grant you 1 more chance. Join our Northern Abyss Outer Realm, and I will let bygones be bygones for today's transgressions."

"Join you?"

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a cold laugh before speaking, "I have never developed the habit of becoming another's servant."

"You'd rather drink the wine of punishment than the wine of respect! You seek death!"

The Lunar Demon Lord immediately made his move, summoning the Lunar Moon Disc as if to completely annihilate Eldrin (Person Name).

But at that very moment, the chaos trembled faintly as several figures whose might shook the heavens emerged.

Eldrin turned to look, only to behold several indescribable supreme beings emerging from the vast chaos, their arrival unnoticed until that very moment.

Among them were 7 or 8 Chaos Heavenly Emperors, including Ant Heavenly Emperor, Great Nirvana God Emperor, Grand Emptiness Dao Ancestor, and Grand Kettle Dao Ancestor.

At this moment, the various Chaos Heavenly Emperors stood firm in the void, faintly encircling the crowd.

After encircling the foreign saints, Emperor Ant calmly spoke, "Your realm has no shortage of Heavenly Emperors, yet why have only 4 come today?"

"You have arrived."

Unexpectedly, as the 7 Great Emperors descended upon them, the Lunar Demon Lord and his companions showed no surprise. Instead, faint smiles graced their lips.

Seeing this, the Monarch of Malignant Spirits turned his gaze toward the depths of the Southern Abyss and remarked, "By my reckoning, it has been 30 kalpas since the great war began. They should have made nearly sufficient preparations by now."

"Since you have shown yourselves, now is the time to strike."

Just as he was speaking, Eldrin suddenly noticed that the Nether Demon Lord had, at some unknown moment, crushed a jade talisman.

"Not good."

In an instant, everyone present sensed something amiss and turned their gazes toward the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

Deep within the boundless chaos of the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss, from the very heart of the 3 Primordial Domains, dozens of overwhelmingly powerful auras suddenly erupted.

In an instant, fierce combat erupted between both sides. A supreme expert roared with fury, yet his aura plummeted abruptly within moments.

"This is bad."

The faces of everyone present instantly shifted in expression, and they all hastened toward the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

Eldrin followed closely behind, traversing the Celestial Abyss alongside the 7 Great Celestial Emperors as they journeyed toward the 7 Domains of the Southern Abyss.

Perhaps realizing that the 4 of them alone could not detain these 7 individuals, the 4 Great Heavenly Emperors of Northern Abyss did not obstruct them this time. Instead, they wore expressions of assured victory as they followed the group all the way into the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss.

The group soared through the skies and soon arrived beyond the Tri-Polar Primordial Domain, where every 1 of them instantly paled with shock.

Eldrin swept his gaze across the horizon and immediately noticed that the Tri-Primordial Domain had been torn asunder by nearly half, clearly ravaged by an extraordinarily brutal conflict.

And at the center of the battlefield stood close to 30 Chaos Heavenly Emperors.

On 1 side stood the Great Abyss Immortal Sage, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, and the Primal Chaos Divine Sovereign, joined by Blazeheart Emberflame. Yet, the figures of the Turbid Divine Sovereign and the Purple Tenuity Divine Sovereign were nowhere to be seen.

Not far from them stood the Fiery Heart Incinerator (Supreme Flame), the Azure Moon Empress (Person Name), and the Profound Desolation Celestial Emperor (Person Name), standing shoulder to shoulder.

And facing them were the Alien Demon Emperor, the 7 Great Demon Lords, 13 Chaos Heavenly Emperors from the alien realm, and even 3 Heavenly Emperors of the demonic tribes.

At this moment, the Great Abyss Immortal Sage, the Primordial Dao Ancestor, and the Primordial Divine Emperor were all covered in wounds, clearly having sustained grievous injuries.

Eldrin (Person Name) hurried forward, supporting the Primordial Dao Ancestor as he anxiously inquired, "What exactly happened?"

The Grand Abyss Immortal Saint wore a face of fury as he spoke with utmost gravity, "While your great war reached its most intense stalemate, the Otherrealm Demon Emperor bypassed the Chaotic Desolate Sea, leading 20 Otherrealm Celestial Emperors in a surprise assault."

"No 1 could have anticipated that at the critical moment, the Sun Celestial Emperor would unexpectedly betray them, opening the Primordial Immortal Domain to let the enemies charge inside."

The Grand Turbid Divine Sovereign, bereft of the Chaos Dao Sanctuary's protection, had his sanctuary forcibly shattered and perished on the spot, while the Ziwei Divine Sovereign was suppressed and executed by the Solar Celestial Emperor.

At this point, Primordial Abyss Immortal Sage spoke with utter despair, "The tide has turned against us, the tide has turned!"

In that instant, the Celestial Emperors of the Southern Abyss all turned deathly pale, clearly never having anticipated this outcome in 10 1000 years.

They stood ready for a life-or-death struggle at the edge of the Heavenly Abyss, yet never could have anticipated that the Sun Celestial Emperor would suddenly betray them, causing the mighty 3-Polar Primal Domain to crumble at the slightest touch.

At this thought, the Ant Emperor’s face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the Sun Emperor with bitter disappointment. "Your Excellency has already broken through to the Half-Step Unity Realm. How could you possibly surrender without a fight?"

"You've misunderstood."

The Solar Celestial Emperor smiled faintly, materializing side-by-side with the Devouring Demon Emperor in mid-air. "My breakthrough to the Half-Step Unity Realm was only made possible with Fellow Daoist Devouring's invaluable assistance," he declared.

"Today's intervention is but a transaction, and you are merely the bargaining chips in my dealings."

"Damn it!"

The Ant Emperor nearly erupted in fury, but was restrained by the Great Nirvana God Emperor beside him.

The Divine Emperor of Grand Nirvana restrained the Ant God Emperor, then turned to the Foreign Demon Emperor and declared, "Your prowess is indeed formidable, Your Excellency. Yet claiming the 7 Domains of Southern Abyss will prove far from effortless."

"You must understand, the Supreme Eldrin of Blazing Yang would never tolerate your success."

"What you say makes sense, fellow Daoist."

The Otherworldly Demon Emperor gave a slight nod. His features were strikingly handsome, his posture tall and graceful, possessing a magical charm that made others feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

With a flick of his sleeve, he manifested an ancient mirror of void cosmos, unveiling a vision of primordial chaos.

Everyone looked up and saw that within the ancient mirror’s vast and hazy projection, over a dozen figures had appeared, their auras overwhelming the heavens.

A full 13 supreme beings encircled a golden figure at the center.

And these 13 figures, each radiating an aura of immense power, were all at least at the half-step Fusion Realm stage.

From within, Eldrin spotted several figures with whom he had crossed paths before, including the Violet Firmament Immortal Sage.

"The 9 Dragons' Nest Lord, the Immortal Phoenix Empress, the Myriad Daos Divine Venerable, and the Ancestral Daoist Tianke—4 supreme Half-Step Dao Fusion experts have all gathered."

Witnessing this scene, the faces of all the Celestial Emperors present drastically changed.

The Dao Ancestor of the Great Pot took a deep breath before speaking, "They are besieging the Supreme Lord of Blazing Yang."

With those words, Grandmaster Taihu couldn't help but turn to the Foreign Demon Emperor and remark, "Your scheme is truly profound, Your Excellency. To think you managed to persuade 13 half-step Dao Fusion experts to lend their aid."

"This is nothing. Everyone has suffered under the reign of Supreme Chiyang for far too long."

The Otherworldly Demon Emperor spoke slowly, then said calmly, "As the saying goes, The righteous gain abundant support while the wicked suffer from isolation."

"The Supreme Flame Sovereign has monopolized the path of ascension, preventing us from reaching the Dao Unification Realm. Uniting is our only choice."

"And my breakthrough to the Realm of Unity and the Supreme shall mark the beginning of our shattering of the blockade imposed by the Supreme of Blazing Yang, but it shall by no means be the end."

The Otherworldly Demon Emperor spoke unhurriedly, a gentle smile gracing his handsome features as he turned his gaze to the crowd. "Fellow cultivators of the Southern Abyss, we can very well become allies."

"As long as I attain the rank of Unity Sovereign first, once I achieve my breakthrough, I shall guide the rest of you to follow."

"In that case, wouldn't each of us have a bright future ahead, with the potential to break through to the realm of Unity Supreme?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present showed a hint of temptation in their eyes.

The Celestial Emperors exchanged uneasy glances, their minds racing with unspoken thoughts.

I must admit, the words of the Outer Realm Demon Emperor were incredibly tempting—especially since they came directly from his own lips.

It must be understood that although the Infernal Demon Emperor cultivated the demonic path, he was by no means a malevolent individual. On the contrary, he possessed an exceptionally noble reputation.

Since attaining the Dao, every promise he had ever made was ultimately fulfilled.

And it was precisely for this reason that those 13 Half-Step Unity Realm experts helped him hold off the Supreme Eldrin.

At this thought, the Primordial Zenith Deity couldn't help but ask, "Are your words true?"

"On my honor, not a word of it is false."

The Otherworldly Demon Emperor declared with unwavering resolve, then suddenly spoke with fervent zeal, "Moreover, what I seek is far beyond the mere realm of the Great Perfection."

"In my youth, I endured the bitter hardships of the mortal world and made a solemn vow: to shatter every injustice that plagues this realm."

"Whether they be Chaos Sovereigns or Unity Paragons, the only reason their cultivation is higher is because they were born earlier than us."

"They seized the advantage, yet sought to sever our path of cultivation, even resorting to schemes and treachery to strike us down."

"We are born equal, each of us a peerless prodigy. It is the world's injustice and the chaos's inequity that prevent us from advancing further."

"Thus, I must not only break through to the Sovereign Realm, but also grant all beings in the boundless chaos the qualification to attain the Sovereign Realm."

"If you follow me, I shall lead you to shatter all injustice, to knock upon the gates of the impossible Wuji Realm, and together we shall alter—nay, forge history itself."

"Well said."

The Solar Celestial Emperor spoke at that moment, gazing at the assembly. "Brother Devourer’s words echo the sentiments of my own heart. Were it otherwise, I would never have joined forces with him."

"Fellow Daoists, why don't we join forces to shatter this injustice? Together, we shall ascend to the realm of Unity Sovereigns, and perhaps even touch the domain of Infinite Overlords!"

A heavy silence fell upon the crowd, leaving them momentarily at a loss for words.

The ideals of the Outer Realm Demon Emperor were far too noble, making their own people of the Southern Abyss seem utterly selfish by comparison.

Even if they wished to refute it, the precedent of Sun Celestial Emperor breaking through to the Half-Step Unity realm lent immense credibility to the words of the Infernal Demon Sovereign.

The Otherworldly Demon Emperor, however, smiled faintly and turned his gaze to Eldrin (Person Name). "Young friend, your talent eclipses the ancients. Would you join me in sweeping across the Chaotic Desolate Sea, shoulder to shoulder, to shatter all injustice for all living beings?"
