Slaying the Five Emperors, Triumph of the Primordial World

“Gulp.”

One alien quasi-emperor instantly turned to ash. The world fell deathly silent, and the countless cultivators could even hear their own breathing and beating hearts.

A quasi-emperor had just died—just like that?!

Before the cultivators of the Profound Yellow Realm could react, Moke and the other aliens had already undergone a drastic change in expression.

“Attack together! Take him down!”

Huangfu Yunteng stared wide-eyed, still trapped in disbelief. The four alien quasi-emperors—Moke and the others—had already appeared around Mo Tianxiao, surrounding him from all four directions. Terrifying energy erupted, smashing the surrounding space to pieces.

“Go to hell!”

Without the slightest hesitation, the four of them launched their strongest attacks at Mo Tianxiao. Four imperial weapons burst with blinding light, enveloping Mo Tianxiao as they attempted to blast him and everything around him into dust.

“Senior Brother!”

“Tianxiao, watch out!”

Gu Changsheng and Lin Wanyi, both heavily wounded, were stunned by Mo Tianxiao’s killing move. Before they could react, the four alien quasi-emperors had already surrounded him.

Everyone shouted warnings, their hearts leaping into their throats. Some were even afraid to look at that tragic battlefield.

Alone, facing six quasi-emperors—and simultaneously besieged by four of them—they could do nothing.

“So eager to die...?”

Mo Tianxiao’s soft voice rang out. The fist he had raised above his head opened, one finger at a time. Four sword beams, each more powerful than the last, tore through the sky as if they had descended from the Ninth Heaven. Almost simultaneously, they pierced through the brows of the four quasi-emperors.

Buzz!

By the time the alien quasi-emperors heard the terrifying, ear-piercing clang of the swords, tiny points imperceptible to the naked eye had already appeared on their foreheads.

Moke’s pupils slowly widened, his face filled with disbelief. “You...”

Before he could finish, his body was shredded into dust by the horrifying sword qi. Even the high-grade treasure in his hand could not escape its fate and was reduced to nothingness along with him.

[You have slain five innocent alien quasi-emperor cultivators, fulfilling the requirements for villainous conduct. Villain Points +66,666!]

[You have slain one red-aura fated cultivator and four purple-aura fated cultivators. Fate Plunder successful. Fate Points +1,400!]

Five quasi-emperors had turned to dust before everyone’s eyes, leaving not even their souls behind. Once again, the countless cultivators fell silent. One by one, they stood there with their mouths slightly agape, as if immobilized by a binding technique, their faces filled with shock.

“They’re... dead? Five alien quasi-emperors... They’re all dead?!”

“Holy crap! Sect Master Mo, you’re incredible!”

“That’s my big brother! Which idiots were questioning him just now? Step forward and apologize!”

“We won! We’re the victors! The Profound Yellow Realm is awesome! The Demon Sect is awesome! Sect Master Mo is awesome!”

The cultivators of the Profound Yellow Realm, who had previously been utterly dispirited, erupted in deafening cheers. It was as if they were venting all the anger and resentment they had kept buried in their hearts over the years.

A mere handful of alien cultivators had thrown the entire Profound Yellow Realm into chaos. Life had been unbearably miserable for the realm’s cultivators these past few years. More than half of them had been killed or wounded, and most sects, powers, and clans had not even been able to preserve their inheritances.

The quasi-emperor ancestors of several top-tier powers had also died one after another. It was easy to imagine how bitterly they had suffered.

Mo Tianxiao slowly lowered his hand. His expression remained utterly calm as he looked coldly at Huangfu Yunteng.

“Are you ready to take your own life?”

“No, no, no! Impossible! How could you be this powerful?! This is all an illusion! You’re deceiving me! The aliens aren’t dead! No one is dead! You’re lying to me! You’ve all joined forces to deceive me!”

Huangfu Yunteng’s entire body trembled violently. His expression was utterly deranged, and his eyes were bloodshot. He roared furiously like a bull in rut.

The veins on his twisted face bulged one moment, while the next he shook his head and giggled foolishly.

He had gone mad.

Perhaps it had happened when the Huangfu Clan had been reduced to slaves of the aliens. Perhaps it had been when every member of the Huangfu Clan had been sacrificed through a secret technique to increase the aliens’ strength. Or perhaps it had happened now, after Mo Tianxiao’s strength had frightened him into insanity.

The energy within his body began to run wildly out of control. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, and his aura instantly weakened by a large margin.

In the end, he was only a quasi-emperor who had been forcibly produced. Unable to avenge the destruction of his family, he had directly suffered cultivation deviation, losing control even over his own cultivation.

“Brothers! Kill this traitor!”

“It’s our turn to take the field! Huangfu Yunteng, kneel down and await your death!”

“Big Brother! Leave this traitor to us. You should go rest!”

Ao Dalong led a group of Saint-realm cultivators as they surrounded Huangfu Yunteng and launched a brutally savage assault.

“Don’t kill him by accident. Remember to leave his soul for me to deal with.”

After giving that instruction, Mo Tianxiao could no longer maintain his strength. His face went pale, and he began to fall toward the ground.

“Brother Tianxiao!”

Huang Xiaoyao and Lin Nannan hurriedly flew forward to support Mo Tianxiao. Nangong Wan also helped the now-conscious Su Muxue over to examine Mo Tianxiao’s condition.

“Senior Brother, are you all right?”

“Tianxiao, let me take a look.”

On the other side, Gu Changsheng and Lin Wanyi also quickly arrived beside Mo Tianxiao. Lin Wanyi placed her slender hand against his wrist to examine him. A moment later, her expression changed dramatically.

“Tianxiao, you...!”

Lin Wanyi could not sense the slightest trace of Saint-origin energy within Mo Tianxiao’s body. She also discovered that half of his meridians had already withered and were continuing to shrink.

If this continued, his entire cultivation would be crippled!

“A killing move of this level naturally consumes a great deal of energy. Don’t worry about me.”

Mo Tianxiao swallowed a top-grade Saint-level pill he had prepared in advance. Only then did the shrinking of his meridians stop, and they began to recover at an extremely slow pace.

It would probably take several years for them to fully recover.

This was the first time he had truly unleashed an immortal-level killing move. The cost was terrifying.

The consumption caused by this technique would likely continue until he genuinely stepped into the so-called immortal realm.

“It’s just a pity. If I had broken through sooner, perhaps those seniors wouldn’t have had to sacrifice themselves.”

Before entering seclusion, Mo Tianxiao truly had not anticipated that the aliens would be able to forcibly create quasi-emperors.

If First Elder, Aunt Lin, and Puxuan had not broken through to the quasi-emperor realm and emerged from seclusion ahead of time, he would have had no choice but to force his way out.

Fortunately, matters had not escalated to the worst possible outcome. Although the Profound Yellow Realm had suffered devastating losses during this alien invasion, it had at least avoided annihilation.

At least thirty percent of the cultivators had survived, and the inheritances of many top-tier powers had been preserved.

Of course, the Profound Yellow Realm’s high-end combat power had suffered heavy casualties. Only two quasi-emperors remained, while eighty percent of the Saint-realm cultivators had died.

“Tianxiao, this was a calamity that befell the entire Profound Yellow Realm. It was not one person’s responsibility. You have no need to blame yourself.”

“That’s right, Senior Brother. If you hadn’t emerged from seclusion in time, even the last cultivators of the Demon Province would have been wiped out.”

“I never imagined that the master of our Demon Sect would become the savior of the entire Profound Yellow Realm. What a twist of fate.”

Gu Changsheng stroked his beard, paying no mind to his battered and wounded state, his face filled with emotion.
