"Don't be too complacent. It's not certain who will die."

Right now, he was already infinitely close to becoming a Zhi Zun. Just a little more and the Battle Emperor Form on his back would give off a strong fighting spirit.

It was a pity that he was not holding onto bloodlust. Just with the attack of the War Emperor's shadow, it would be difficult for him to deal with a true Zhi Zun.

That old man didn't use a weapon, he still used his bare hands to fight back. With a clap of his hands, Lei Ao felt the space in front of him shattering as his body was torn apart by a powerful force.

Why is he so strong?

Lei Ao's heart raced wildly. It was already too late to release the star map so he could only barely dodge. The old man's attack had flattened a large portion of the mountains in the distance before disappearing from the horizon.

"I haven't used it in so many years. I'm a bit new to it."

The old man sighed, almost causing Lei Ao to lose his temper. He angrily attacked.

He only had two hours to awaken his source energy, so he had to finish the battle quickly.

"Thunder Sky Falling Hand!" "Fifth Star Map!"

He displayed all the moves that he knew and with the strengthening of the battle emperor's shadow, his attacks became stronger and stronger. In the end, the elder was forced to use his hands to face the enemy and no longer the same You Xian as before.

"Not bad, for the younger generation to be able to do something like this. Looking at the ancient era, only the Demon Emperor and Great Sun Tathagata are comparable to you."

The old man pushed Lei Ao back with a single palm, then said: "It's a pity that you didn't reach their level when you were born."

"You talk too much, continue taking my attack." Lei Ao stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of the old man, throwing a heavy punch towards his opponent's chest.

It seemed to be very slow, but in reality, it was very fast. It was unknown if it was because he didn't have time to dodge, or because he disdained to. The old man ignored Lei Ao's attack and turned his palm into a blade, cutting towards Lei Ao's lower abdomen.

Fighting with all his might, he had his own plans. Even if Lei Ao awakened his source energy, his chances of taking down the old man were slim.

However, although the old man was as strong as a Martial Saint, it was impossible for him to defeat Lei Ao in a short period of time.

As a result, the two of them did not choose to exchange moves. The old man relied on his supreme strength to resist, but Lei Ao's body strength was far greater than his opponent's.

After dozens of bombardment, the two of them were unable to fight back. Lei Ao's attack was obviously heavier, but his powerful body was still able to resist a lot.

On the other hand, the old man didn't have such a strong body. If he ate too many heavy moves, then even a strength as strong as his wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Moreover, he soon discovered that this method of fighting was purely a waste of effort. Every time Lei Ao was injured, he would quickly recover his energy, and all he had to do was lose a little bit of power.

"Then what is it?"

After a hundred moves, the old man could not help but retreat first.

"What, are you scared?" Lei Ao sneered as he wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had the abnormal recovery ability that he had no hope of reincarnating. Playing a battle of hand to hand with him was simply courting death.

"Hmph." The old man became angry from embarrassment and threw another palm attack.

"Don't you have any new moves? It's always the same trick. "

This time, Lei Ao was already prepared, using the star map to completely disperse the opponent's attack. He was keenly aware that the old man's methods of attack were always the same.

Without a divine weapon or close combat, he only knew how to unleash powerful palm attacks from far away. He was simply unable to unleash 80% of the Supreme Elder's power.

"One move is enough to deal with you." The old man repeatedly struck out with his palms, and a powerful palm pressure surged towards Lei Ao in waves.

"Shameless old thing." Lei Ao cursed under his breath. After receiving a few moves, he quickly dodged.

There was no helping it, the star map required one to form a seal, and their speed was far inferior to the opponent's casual palm strike.

"To Zhi Zun, teleportation is just an insignificant skill."

Just as Lei Ao stood firm, the old man had already appeared behind him. As he was just inches away from Lei Ao, he struck Lei Ao's back with his palm.

Puff, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, causing Lei Ao to be sent flying. At the same time, he ruthlessly kicked backwards.

Damn, is this Zhi Zun's strength?

The retreating Lei Ao crashed into a distant mountain, causing a loud explosion. It took him a long time before he finally staggered back.

The injury this time was so serious that even if he wanted to reincarnate, he wouldn't be able to recover immediately.

The thing that worried Lei Ao the most was that there wasn't much time left. He only had two hours to awaken his Source Energy, and he had already used half of it.

All in all, if they couldn't kill him, no one would be able to escape death.

Lei Ao steeled his heart and formed a giant star map with his hands. At the same time, he drew out all of the power of thunder and lightning in the small world and channeled it into the star map.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure, the elder tightly furrowed his white brows. For the first time, a grave expression appeared on his face. Unnaturally, he increased his power level.

The lightning pool was a place of death for the God Realm.

Lei Ao's lightning was not even one in a million, he might not be able to kill Zhi Zun, but it shouldn't be difficult for him to injure her.

"Go to hell, the Heaven Slayer Divine Lightning Diagram!"

After he finished channeling his power, Lei Ao pushed out the star map in his hands.

At the same time, the old man also released his strongest attack, instantly sending out hundreds of palm wind to form a giant palm that welcomed the incoming star map.

However, what shocked him was that wherever the star map swept past, his palm energy would dissipate into nothingness. He was completely unable to block it at all.

He could not accept this move!

Almost in a flash of lightning, this thought appeared in the old man's mind. He dodged the star map before it could hit him.

Lei Ao sneered in his heart. The star atlas itself had the laws of space, so it was impossible for him to dodge the attack of the star atlas. Unless the person controlling the star atlas died.

Dozens of teleportation techniques failed to shake off this fear. The old man seemed to have realized this and turned, rushing towards Lei Ao.

Lei Ao wanted to dodge, but hesitated.

Seeing the look of hesitation on his face, the old man was immediately overjoyed. He gathered up all the power he could muster and shouted, "This is the end. Go to hell!"

With a "peng" sound, the heavy palm left a half an inch deep palm mark on Lei Ao's chest, and the sound of a fracture could be clearly heard.

"It's over, but I won't be the one to go to hell."

After receiving such a heavy blow, Lei Ao actually had a smile plastered on his face. Unknowingly, his legs had wrapped around the old man's waist, and his hands were quickly moving.

Not good, I fell into his trap.

The old man was shocked as he turned his head around to see the star map rapidly flying over. His expression immediately changed, and he sent another heavy palm towards Lei Ao's chest, but he was unable to shake it off.

Without waiting for him to send out a third palm strike, the star map appeared in the sky in a flash, and he felt as if his primordial spirit was about to jump out.

"Old bastard, you're finished." Lei Ao coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, loosened his legs, and fell down.

At the same time, the star map wrapped around the old man.

At that moment, the sky was filled with blinding lightning bolts as miserable screams continuously rang out from within the lightning bolts.

Was the battle over?

From afar, Bluesea and the rest of the group watched as Lei Ao's body fell from the sky, their hearts sinking.

"Don't worry, he's still alive. Right now is not the time for us to act." Huang Xin forcefully pulled back her pupils as she consoled them. She was actually as worried as the others were.

This attack had exhausted all of Lei Ao's power of thunder. At the same time, he had also received two of the old man's moves, especially the palm strike that he had used to defend himself.

Right now, he was lying flat on the ground like a dead dog. Broken bones were protruding from his chest, and his internal organs were not only displaced but also somewhat broken.

If he didn't have the ability to reincarnate, he would have been killed before the star map could hit him.

The star map wrapped around the old man. Within the star map, countless lightning bolts were scurrying all over the place. Every time it flashed, the power within it would weaken a bit. When the lightning completely disappeared, the star map would also disappear.

This attack lasted for a quarter of an hour. It was far longer than a Celestial Tribulation. Without question, none of the Empyrean Gods would be able to survive this sort of attack.

If it was a Zhizun realm expert, at least they would be severely injured if they didn't die, right?

When the thunder dissipated and the star map disappeared, Lei Ao's injuries had also healed by a large amount due to having no hope of reincarnation. At the very least, he would be able to move freely.

But now, a powerful and dark energy forced him to stop healing.

"He really didn't die." Lei Ao let out a disappointed sigh, stood up again and prepared to continue fighting.

Up in midair, the smoke and dust dispersed, revealing the old man.

His hair was burnt and there were countless small holes in his chest. Black smoke continued to seep out from them.

His right arm had been cut off from his shoulder, his left foot was missing from his knee, and only one eyeball was left. His charred body was like a coal that had just left the oven, it could only be described as extremely dilapidated.

This injury was definitely ten times worse than Lei Ao's.

In a situation where he did not have the intention to reincarnate, he would not die even in this kind of situation. Lei Ao was secretly amazed at his opponent's strength.

No wonder there hadn't been a Martial Saint for tens of thousands of years. A Martial Saint was indeed not something that a God Emperor could compare to. Even ten God Emperors together couldn't compare to a Martial Saint.

For cultivators, breaking meridians could be allowed to continue, and losing limbs could be allowed to regenerate. This was not a difficult matter.

However, would Lei Ao give him the chance? Obviously not!

After the old man appeared, Lei Ao immediately rushed forward to attack. In a single breath, he struck out more than ten times, each strike hitting the opponent's body.

What was this old man doing?

If the attack went too smoothly, Lei Ao would be a bit hesitant. Although the old man was severely injured, it shouldn't be difficult for him to dodge or counterattack.

However, he simply ignored his own attack. Standing there motionlessly, he allowed himself to strike out more than ten times.

Forget it, let's just get rid of his fighting strength first.

Lei Ao charged forward once again, chopping off the old man's remaining left arm that was shoulder to shoulder.

Now that he had lost both arms, only his single leg and even one eye was left, he should no longer be a threat, right?

But Lei Ao could clearly feel a sense of danger approaching at high speed.

The old man saw that Lei Ao had stopped attacking. He slowly raised his head and said, "I really didn't expect you to force this old man to such a state."

Lei Ao said, "Old man, if you don't want to fight anymore, I don't mind doing a good deed to give you a quick death."

"Hahaha, do you think you've won? The true battle has just begun. "

The old man was thrown into disarray. His broken body suddenly exploded in a weird way. Blood and broken limbs flew everywhere in the air.

Self-detonation? No, he was still alive.

Lei Ao took a few steps back in shock. He saw that there was a figure standing in the air behind the blood-red flower.

"This... "Impossible."

Lei Ao opened his mouth wide in shock. The old man was standing right in front of him. Not only was his power stronger than before, but there wasn't even a single wound on his body.

The difference from before was that the old man's body was now much stronger. Besides his white hair, there was no sign of him turning old at all.

Furthermore, his skin was now as black as ink. Including his face, it was as if his entire body had turned into charcoal.

The aura it exuded was much stronger than before. At the same time, it gave Lei Ao a dark and gloomy feeling, causing a chill to rise up from the bottom of his heart.

This feeling was very familiar to Lei Ao. When he thought about it carefully, back in the cultivation world, the Evil Emperor's Qi was exactly the same as his.

"You should be proud of yourself for making me reveal my real body. However, what are you fighting for this old man after losing the power of thunder and lightning? "

The old man stretched his body and approached Lei Ao step by step, "What a pity, the true battle has just begun. It's just that you've already lost the qualifications to be this old man's opponent."

"F * ck, you don't have to look down on people." Lei Ao flew into a rage and forcefully activated all of his remaining strength, preparing to fight with his life on the line.

At this moment, a voice that did not belong to the two of them sounded from above.

"He doesn't have the qualifications. How about I give it a try?"

"Who is it?" The elder was shocked. This person actually came to his side, yet he did not notice at all. His cultivation was definitely not inferior to his.

"You're right, the true battle has indeed just begun, but it has also determined your demise."

In the sky, two figures appeared at the same time. Just the aura that they emitted indicated that they were two Martial Saints.

"It's you guys?" When the old man saw these two, a trace of fear actually flashed across his face.

Lei Ao was puzzled. Even in tens of thousands of years, there hasn't been a single Zhi Zun, since when did they become common goods?

Fortunately, the two of them seemed to have come to help him, so he quietly retreated to the side and seized the time to heal his wounds.

"Was it a surprise? You really did hide it well, and made us search for it for tens of thousands of years. "

Both of them appeared in front of the old man at the same time. They were middle-aged men, one dressed in blue, the other in black.

"Tens of thousands of years ago during that battle, the Divine Vein Family suddenly decided to retreat without a fight. At that time, we already felt that it was strange, and it wasn't until the Buddhist Sect was destroyed that we realized what had happened."

The one who spoke was a man in blue. From the start to the end, the man in black didn't utter a single word. He only stared at the elder with disdain.

The old man sneered: "So what if you know? The Buddhist Sect has already been destroyed and the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan is under my control. With just you demon, the Demon and Demon Clans can no longer pose any threat to us. "

"Foolish fellow, since we have already sensed it, how could we allow your scheme to succeed? What you are controlling is only those traitors with greed, the real power of the Divine Vein Family has long been hidden away. "

The blue clothed middle-aged man disdainfully said, "Don't think that we don't know. After that battle, you all withdrew from this world. I'm afraid that Wuxia is going to be distracted and will continue to fight with us."

"Humph, you know quite a lot." The old man looked around, as if trying to find an opportunity to escape.

At this moment, the black-robed man impatiently said, "Stop talking to him. Do you want to go or should I?"

"Go ahead. This Emperor is not interested in him." The blue clothed man took a step forward, passing through the old man and arriving in front of Lei Ao.

"You are Lei Ao? I've heard of you from the Heavenly Wolf. "

"Sky Wolf? The demon clan's big wolf? " Lei Ao was shocked, he asked, "Senior is?"

"Monsters rarely use their names. They usually use their titles instead. You can call me the Demon Emperor." The blue-clothed man said.

"You're a Demon Emperor?" Lei Ao was shocked again. He looked at the man in black not too far away and asked, "Then he is ?"

The Demon Emperor replied, "He's the Demon Lord. If you didn't force that old fogey to reveal his true body, we wouldn't have been able to do anything without evidence."

It really was him. Lei Ao heaved a sigh of relief. "From what Senior is saying, it seems like Senior had already expected this would happen."

"Even if that's the case, this time, I will borrow your hand to drag this old fellow out. Otherwise, who knows how many years we would have to wait." The Demon Emperor gazed into the distance and spoke to Lei Ao, "We'll talk about this later. Let's go deal with those people first."

"But ?" The Demon Lord was currently fighting with the old man.

"Don't worry, Martial Saints have their own realms. No matter how three of them come, they won't be a match for the Demon Lord."

The Demon Emperor brought Lei Ao back to the place where Huang Xin and the rest were standing, while he himself flew towards the rear of the Divine Veins Alliance.

In front of him was another battlefield. While Lei Ao was fighting with the old man, the experts from the Underworld Sect and the eight great families were already unable to support themselves. After all, the difference in numbers was too great.

"Lei Ao, who is he?" Huang Xin and the rest were too far away to hear what Lei Ao said.

"It's the Demon Emperor. That one over there is the Demon Lord." Lei Ao laughed, "Now you don't have to worry. With two Martial Saints here, it would be hard to not win."

"Demon Emperor?" Demon Lord? " Lan Hai was surprised. "Aren't these two people on their side?" Although they did not make a move, they did send people to participate. "

"No, look clearly at that old fellow, do you remember the Evil Emperor? They are all from the same race, and are also the true enemies that Du Xuan mentioned before. "

Lei Ao explained, "The Demon, Demon, and Demon Clans knew that someone was hiding within the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan, but they couldn't find him. This time, the old guy was forced out of his real body, so the Demon, Demon, and Demon Clans began to take action."

"Is it the Evil Emperor's people?" Everyone was shocked. The killing intent from Liu Qingchen surged and they stared at the old man in the distance.

Seeing that the situation was bad, Lei Ao hurriedly walked over and patted her shoulder. He whispered, "Calm down, there isn't just one of them. There will still be plenty of chances to avenge the evil races in the future."

"That's right, Little Liu. There's still plenty of time." Huang Xin quickly changed the topic: "Does that mean Niu Meng and Blood Wolf are here as well?"

"This ?" Lei Ao looked around and said in disappointment, "I don't think so. I only see the Demon Emperor and Demon Lord."

"He might still be in closed door cultivation. Should we call Yi Zhen and the others back?" Huang Xin thought that since there was the Demon Emperor's intervention, they wouldn't need to participate in the next battle.

"Wait, look over there." Bluesea suddenly pointed into the distance.

A dense mass of black clouds was rapidly approaching. It was impossible to tell how many people there were with the naked eye.
