"STOP!" As Tang Jie shouted, he swung his saber at Iron Blood.
Iron Blood didn''t understand what Tang Jie meant, only thinking that Tang Jie was fighting over the tower with him, angrily shouting, "Thunder de, you—!"
"That''s not the Chaos Tower! It''s an illusion. This is a spatial passage leading to the Primordial Fog Domain!" Tang Jie shouted.
What?
Everyone turned to the Chaos Tower in shock.
If this was an illusion, it was an incredible one, as it felt real if one touched it, and if one entered the tower, one would see the world within the tower, with no w to be seen. It was only someone who had entered Insight like Tang Jie who could see past such a realistic illusion and see the truth.
The three Fiend Emperors couldn''t see the reality, and Iron Blood shouted, "Thunder de, what nonsense are you saying? This is clearly the Chaos Tower. Look!"
He swung his Ironblood Saber, and it released a bleak wave of energy that shook the wills of all, even Tang Jie''s somewhat, but the tower was unmoved.
Iron Blood said, "Other than the Chaos Tower, what could stop a blow from my saber?"
An impressive boast!
But Tang Jie could see that the saber''s energy had gone into the spatial passage and had probably killed a few demons on the other side. However, the illusion itself was utterly unharmed. He could only sigh and say, "If this wasn''t the case, then where do you think these demons areing from?"
The fiends were startled again.
At this moment, Tang Jie felt a sliver of will silently infiltrate his mind. This was a Demonic Will that was attempting to subtly alter his train of thought!
A momentter, the ckwater Fiend Emperor said, "They''re naturally just little demons left behind from the Primordial Fog Cmity. They managed to hide out here and reproduce. Thunder de, you''ve definitely taken a liking to the Chaos Tower and want to take it for yourself, so you''re trying to trick us with your words."
He lunged toward the Chaos Tower.
Tang Jie inwardly cursed in anger, knowing that the Demonic Will from the passage had caused ckwater and the others to lose their sense of judgment. The only reason it hadn''t worked on Tang Jie was that he was one soul sharing two bodies. When his avatar was affected, his original body promptly realized what was wrong and corrected his train of thought.
s, while he could keep his mind clear, he couldn''t break the illusion.
At the apex, the Dao of Insight could shatter illusions, but Tang Jie had chosen the path of weakness detection. While he could manage to see through illusions, breaking them was out of the question.
As ckwater reached for the Chaos Tower, Tang Jie grew frantic. Hardening his heart, he shouted, "Don''t even think about taking the tower!"
A st of lightning issued from his Heaven Thunder Saber, slicing toward ckwater''s back.
ckwater yelped and instantly turned into a blur, evading the attack. Tang Jie didn''t give chase, instead turning to Aurora and saying, "I''ve now offended both Iron Blood and ckwater. Aurora, are you just going to sit there and watch me die and then take them on yourself, or are you going to do something?"
The Aurora Fiend Emperorughed. "If Little Brother Thunder de wants to work together with me, I''m happy to agree!"
He red, and a beam of divine light shot out of his eyes at Iron Blood.
Aghast, Iron Blood swung his saber to block while yelling at Tang Jie, "Thunder de, you idiot! Working with him is suicidal!"
Of these four Fiend Emperors, Aurora was the strongest, and he had his Millepluma Guard, so the other three had to work together against him. But Thunder de had turned against them, leaving Iron Blood shocked and enraged. Even if Thunder de won, how was he going to deal with Aurora?
He had no idea that Tang Jie had no desire for the tower, only seeking chaos. Since that demon had used its Demonic Will to stir up their greed and fool everyone into removing the talisman, Tang Jie couldn''t stop it, so he decided to use the greed to have everyone kill each other. As the four Fiend Emperors battled, the fiend kings and generals fought back the demons. The ce fell into total mayhem, and nobody had time to take the Chaos Tower, leaving that existence behind the passage fuming.
On this side, the ckwater Fiend Emperor opened his mouth toward Tang Jie.
An inky substance rushed out of his mouth like a ck river, surging toward Tang Jie.
This was the Divine Connection he was most proud of, the ckwater Heaven River. It was extremely toxic, eating away at everything it touched.
Tang Jieughed. "You''re a pufferfish, not a cuttlefish, so why are you spitting out so much ink? It''s disgusting. This emperor is quite hygienic, so I''d rather not be around you."
He retreated from the battlefield.
"Trying to run?" The ckwater Fiend Emperor snarled and gave chase, the ckwater Heaven River rushing after Tang Jie like a ck whip.
Tang Jie threw out his warship andmented, "You have a river, and I have a boat. Little Brother ckwater, there''s no need to send me off."
ckwaterughed as he continued to chase. "Avoiding battle? Given your weak aura, it seems, Big Brother, that your injuries have yet to fully heal. If I don''t turn you into Returned Remnants now, wouldn''t I be wasting a chance given to me by the Heavenly Dao!?"
He pursued at full speed.
Tang Jie inwardly chuckled.
He hadn''t joined hands with Iron Blood and ckwater against Aurora because such a match could easily turn into a stalemate. The Aurora Fiend Emperor and his Millepluma Guard would make it difficult to win, even with the three of them working together, so he, as the weakest of the three, was bound to be exposed eventually.
But if he worked with Aurora, they could each take on a Fiend Emperor, and Tang Jie could open a new battlefield—so long as conditions permitted, Tang Jie wanted to try and keep his identity hidden.
As Tang Jie flew along, he used the warship to barrage ckwater with lightning. But the ckwater Fiend Emperor simply moved his ckwater Heaven River to block the attacks, and the lightning vanished without a trace.
"Thunder de, don''t focus only on running. Fight me one-on-one if you have the guts!" ckwaterughed.
Tang Jie said in scorn, "Piece of trash, you''re only bold enough to challenge me because you know I''m still injured. If I was in my prime, you would be kissing my feet."
He pped the lightning cannons, firing another two sts of lightning.
Although the lightning cannons couldn''t do anything to ckwater, they made him waste power on defense. ckwater knew that if this continued, he would be falling into Thunder de''s trap. After all, there was no telling how severe Thunder de''s old wounds actually were. If the injuries weren''t that bad and this sort of reckless expenditure managed to bring their power levels even, he would be in a bad spot.
The ckwater Fiend Emperor was no longer willing to dy, suddenly letting out a deep howl.
With this howl, the ck river condensed into a ck spear, which the ckwater Fiend Emperor grasped in his hand.
Tang Jie''s eyes immediately turned grave.
The ckwater Fiend Emperor''s ckwater Heaven River was rather simr to the Blood River Lord''s Blood River, using the self as the core upon which countless transformations could be executed. The river turning into a spear was one of ckwater''s most important moves.
As the spear thrust out, the entire world darkened.
The spear unleashed a boundless might as the ckwater Fiend Emperor''s face darkened with murderous intent. "Break!"
A beam of ck energy shot from the spear, shooting toward the warship.
All light drained out of the world, as if the spear was the only thing remaining in existence.
Tang Jie paled, and he poured all his energy into the ship.
The beam of spear energy mmed into the warship''s barrier.
There was a massive boom and an explosion of rainbow light, as if someone had chosen to paint a garish picture on the horizon.
Amid this light, the warship tumbled in the air.
The spear had sted a hole through the ship and sent it crashing toward the ground.
"Shit, so powerful!" Tang Jie threw up blood as he mumbled in shock.
He had long heard that the ckwater Fiend Emperor''s Heaven River Spear was on par with the Thundershatter Saber, and it seemed like it was true. Worst of all, once the Heaven River Spear had shattered the ship''s barrier, ck liquid freely rained onto the ship.
All of this ck liquid was highly toxic, hissing as it struck the deck, and some of it even falling on Tang Jie. Fortunately, Tang Jie repelled the liquid before it could infiltrate his body. At his current level of strength, if he let this poison take hold, he would end up gravely injured, if not dead.
The ckwater Fiend Emperor was clearly taken aback.
He had originally believed that the Heaven River Spear shouldn''t have worked against thebined might of Thunder de and his warship, which was why he had also prepared a series of follow-up attacks. But to his surprise, his one strike had sent the ship bowling over. It seemed like Thunder de wasn''t able to use the full power of this divine treasure.
Were his injuries that serious? Had he been just putting on a show this entire time?
The thought delighted ckwater, and his avarice grew.
It had to be understood that Thunder de was famous throughout fiend territory for his tool refining. As for ckwater, he only knew how to refine poison, so he was much poorer than Thunder de. If he could kill Thunder de, all those treasures would be his, and he could use them in the fight against Aurora.
ckwaterughed, "Thunder de, so you were just feigning strength the entire time! You''re dead!"
He waved his hand, and the ck water returned to his hand, turning into a bow and three ck arrows.
The ckwater Skypiercer Arrows!
The ckwater Fiend Emperor had a cautious personality, so even at thest moment, he wasn''t willing to enter closebat with Thunder de.
As he was about to loose his arrow, a furious roar came from the distance. "Thunder de!"
Turning his head, he saw another person rapidly flying over.
ckwater was taken aback by this familiar figure, blurting out, "Silver Eyes?"
The Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor continued to charge over, shouting, "Give me back my Deathless Heaven Pearl!"
Only then did the ckwater Fiend Emperor realize that Silver Eyes was aiming for Thunder de.
In that battle one hundred years ago, while Thunder de had been heavily injured by Silver Eyes, Silver Eyes had lost a life, so the two had be mortal foes.
ckwater instantly rxed, and did the same to his bowstring, saying, "So it''s Big Brother Silver Eyes! With you here, there''s no way Thunder de can escape. But I was the one who injured Thunder de. While I can give you his life, you''re not allowed to take any of the spoils."
"Of course!" Silver Eyesughed as he closed the distance with ckwater.
He had changed direction so suddenly and flew so swiftly that he hardly gave ckwater time to think, charging right at him.
Many years ofbat experience made ckwater instinctively feel uneasy, and he almost put up a barrier. But he suddenly remembered that he was the only one of the other four Fiend Emperors that Silver Eyes hadn''t gotten in a conflict with. So long as Silver Eyes was still sane, he wouldn''t attack him without provocation. On the other hand, putting up a barrier could put a metaphorical barrier between them as well.
It was this thought that made ckwater hesitate.
That moment of hesitation made him lose everything!
As the Silver Eyes Fiend Emperor reached him, arge fist rapidly filled ckwater''s field of vision.
"Devil Crushing Fist!"
