"Boom!"
A massive explosion occurred in the sky, drawing the attention of everyone.
The powerful blast from the explosion made it difficult for everyone to keep their bodies steady, causing them to sway and stumble.
Only Luo Yu stood above the void, enveloped by a mysterious layer of nine-colored light, his aura contained yet displaying boundless power.
His pupils radiated a captivating brilliance.
"Hmph!"
With a swipe of his hand through the void, the smoke and dust from the explosion instantly dispersed.
Several Abyss Great Emperors caught in the blast were directly shattered into numerous fragments, and though they were not dead, they desperately tried to reconstitute their bodies.
Even though the Abyssal Emperor did not bleed, his body was riddled with countless holes that were difficult to heal at once.
Whenever the wounds began to heal, nine-colored energy would suppress them.
His aura hovered uncertainly, no longer displaying the imposing and domineering presence he had upon his arrival.
The Abyssal Emperor stared fiercely at Luo Yu.
His eyes were full of wariness and incomprehension.
"Why, why."
"How can you, a human who has not yet ascended to godhood, possess such combat power, how!"
"Agh!"
"I, the Emperor, will not accept this."
Luo Yu's mouth curled into a devilishly charming smile.
He repeated the phrase he had said before.
"What in the world are you yapping about."
"Bastard!"
The Abyssal Emperor's body began to emit bursts of explosive sounds, in sync with the other Abyss Great Emperors as they launched their attacks.
They condensed the strongest attack formed by the collective high-end combat power of the abyss.
A towering black edifice of one hundred and eight layers emerged, only that some layers appeared transparent, as if merely for show.
"You've troubled yourselves."
"To travel thousands of miles just to court death."
Luo Yu slowly shook his head, facing the terrifying attack with all his mental strength surging out.
The Dragon God Martial Soul howled up to the heavens.
The Nine Heavens Execution Sword appeared in the palm of his hand, infused with Luo Yu's endless Soul Power.
The Longsword buzzed and trembled.
"No need for anyone else to take action."
"Watch how I, the Alliance Hierarch, wield this sword."
"Clang!"
The Longsword forged ahead, shaking heaven and earth.
All Sword Martial Souls vibrated in resonance, revealing boundless excitement and submission, even attempting to leave their wielders' hands and fly into the high skies.
In the face of the combined assault from the Abyssal Emperor and the Great Emperors, Luo Yu slashed with his sword.
A streak of sword light split heaven and earth.
With the power to cleave open the cosmos, its edge was unmatched.
And the black edifice of one hundred and eight layers, too, came tearing through the sky, carrying an endlessly heavy and terrifying presence as if it could obliterate the very heavens and earth.
"Clang!"
The two attacks collided, producing a heaven-piercing and ear-piercing noise, with waves rolling outwards.
All were blasted thousands of meters away.
Those with weaker cultivation levels spurted blood from their mouths, unable to bear the pressure from the aftershock of the attacks.
Yet, disregarding their own safety, everyone watched tensely for the outcome.
"Crack, crack!"
Sounds of fracturing filled the air.
Signs of shattering appeared on the sword light.
Everyone thought the Abyssal Emperor's combined attack had won, only to discover that, while the sword light was indeed about to shatter, it was the one hundred and eight-layered black edifice that broke apart first.
The sword light shattered the black tower, carrying its residual force to strike the disbelieving Abyssal Emperor and Great Emperors.
"Splash!"
Body after body was split in two.
One man stood against the Abyssal Emperor and over seventy Great Emperors, his divine might unmatched, his extraordinary talent fully revealed.
Sword Douluo trembled at the sight of that streak of sword light.
"This sword..."
"This one sword..."
His voice shook, his calm face full of fervor, excitement, and joy, his hand clutching the Seven Kills Sword trembling incessantly.
Luo Yu flicked the sword's edge with his finger.
His starry eyes swept over the bisected bodies of the Abyssal Emperor and the Great Emperors.
His lips parted.
"You have lost.
"Then accept fate..."
"No, we cannot possibly be defeated!"
A voice, hoarse from strain, rang out, filled with sorrow and unwillingness.
The body of the Abyssal Emperor swiftly reconstituted itself.
His breath was weak, yet billowing black fogs rolled around him, his ghastly pale eyes suddenly turned blood-red and unnervingly strange.
An ominous and malevolent aura also emanated from his body.
His figure rapidly expanded, magnifying continuously, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a giant a thousand feet tall amidst the rolling black fog.
"Emperor, we have been defeated; we should retreat now," said one of the emperors, running to the side of the Abyssal Emperor, speaking fearfully.
"Retreat, sure."
"This emperor will take you with me as we retreat."
The Abyssal Emperor revealed a sinister smile, stretched out his large hand, and directly grasped the emperor before him.
"Emperor, what... what are you going to do?"
"Taking you with me as we retreat."
A shocking scene unfolded—the Abyssal Emperor stuffed the emperor into his mouth and chewed.
All those around, whether abyssal creatures or members of the Douluo Alliance Army, narrowed their eyes.
They looked on in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
What is he doing!
With the swallowing of an Abyss Great Emperor, his aura rose slightly.
"Not enough, still not enough!"
The blood-red eyes of the Abyssal Emperor were brimming with madness.
The other abyssal creatures were scared out of their wits.
"Emperor... Emperor."
"Please come to your senses."
The Abyssal Emperor laughed.
"I am, very lucid."
"More lucid than ever before."
He opened his enormous maw, larger than mountains, obscuring the sky, creating a terrifying suction force.
It exerted a natural oppressive power over the abyssal creatures.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Beams of light were swallowed into his mouth, all of them mighty Abyss Great Emperors.
They struggled frantically but couldn't escape at all.
"Emperor, why!"
"Why do you do this?"
"We are loyal to you!"
A voice came from the Abyssal Emperor.
"Loyalty."
"Loyalty should be integrated into me."
"Rest assured, your demise is worthwhile."
Dreadful screams rose, and even the Charm Emperor and the beautiful State Preceptor were frightened out of their wits, feeling an irresistible suction dragging them, unable to resist, only to be sucked in.
Just as they were about to be devoured by the enormous mouth, a swift azure shadow flashed past, embraced their slender waists, and rescued them.
The man's body gave them a great sense of security.
That robust chest, as though it were the center of the world.
Their hearts, filled with fear and pounding chaos, inexplicably felt other emotions stirring within.
They wanted to offer words of thanks, but they realized the man's gaze was fixed intently ahead.
Following his gaze,
they witnessed a horrific sight.
In just a short time, more than seventy Abyss Great Emperors had been completely devoured.
Countless struggling phantoms appeared on the body of the Abyssal Emperor, emitting all sorts of strange and different auras.
As his power surged, it also became chaotic.
This sight directly terrified the Human Alliance Army, unable to conceive such a cruel scene would occur.
"This... This guy has devoured all his subordinates?"
"Devoured all his subjects?"
"Boom! Boom!"
The Abyssal Emperor continued to laugh coldly at Luo Yu, his bloodthirsty red eyes flickering with endless madness and triumph.
"Humans, you think you have won?"
"Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous."
"You've played your last card, what about me?"
"Haha, bet you didn't expect this, haha, I have such a trick up my sleeve, hahaha."
