The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor was bathed in immortal light, a hazy figure of great stature, but with indistinct features. He coldly gazed at the nine mysterious Immortal Emperors of equal rank.
Upon seeing the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor, the nine sword-wielding Immortal Emperors attacked without a word. With a gentle wave of their swords, their power resembled the creation of the world, slicing off a corner of the vast Heavenly Realm.
Each of them was cold and ruthless, their attacks merciless, showing no regard for the living beings of the Heavenly Realm.
"Rumble!"
The heavens and earth shook as nine world-destroying sword lights struck the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor directly. The devastating aftershocks spread towards the living beings of the Heavenly Realm, sending countless lives adrift like duckweed. Their faces were filled with panic and helplessness, as even the aftershocks of an Immortal Emperor-level battle were unbearable for ordinary beings. Even Immortal Reverends, in the face of this chaos-recreating power, could only grab the living beings of the Heavenly Realm and immediately flee, seeking refuge from this catastrophe.
The sword light, filled with the aura of destruction, relentlessly assailed the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor.
"Will he be alright?" Li Beifei, watching as if viewing a memory stone projection, remained unaffected. Seeing the sudden attack of the nine Immortal Emperors directly upon the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor, a trace of worry flashed through his heart.
This was Li Beifei's instinctive reaction as a being of the Red Dust Realm.
"Boom!"
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's body trembled, scattering the sword light. He was completely unscathed, without even a scratch on his clothes.
The nine Immortal Emperors' pupils constricted, never expecting the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor to be so powerful.
Before they could recover from their shock, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor made his move.
With a single punch, an Immortal Emperor was instantly blasted apart. Another punch, and another Immortal Emperor exploded. Before him, these Immortal Emperors were not like experts of the same realm, but rather ants that could be crushed with a single blow. The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor displayed unparalleled strength and speed, delivering nine consecutive punches, obliterating all nine mysterious Immortal Emperors.
Li Beifei was astonished by this sight!
But the next moment, something horrifying happened. The nine Immortal Emperors, blasted apart by the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor, revived unscathed.
"Damn it, are they cheating?" Li Beifei cursed, a sense of sorrow rising in his heart. Coming from the desolate Star of的天荒星 countless years in the future, he already foresaw the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's tragic end.
However, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor revealed no emotion. He simply repeated the previous steps, each step a flicker of illusion, each punch delivered, regardless of how the nine Immortal Emperors resisted, blasting them apart.
Yet, the next moment, the nine Immortal Emperors reappeared without any apparent damage.
After several repetitions, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor suddenly ceased his attacks.
"People from another world, how can you enter?"
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor asked.
"This is none of your concern. Retreat at once, lest you invite disaster and lose your eons of cultivation," a mysterious Immortal Emperor said coldly.
"What a joke!" The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor sneered.
"You suddenly descended upon my Red Dust Realm, attacking and slaughtering my countless citizens without a word, shattering the Heavenly Realm of my Red Dust Realm. And you dare say it is none of my concern?"
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's voice was heavy. Though his expression was unseen, Li Beifei could feel his inner rage.
"If you remain stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite."
As soon as the words fell, the aura of the nine Immortal Emperors suddenly intensified, but strangely, cracks appeared on their bodies.
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor frowned. He felt that something was wrong with them. He was now certain that the nine Immortal Emperors were not their true selves but mere avatars or spiritual bodies, unable to unleash the true power of an Immortal Emperor. If they were to fight seriously, these avatars would be destroyed.
But now, they were clearly getting serious.
Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on their bodies, but their aura and sword intent rapidly escalated, causing the Heavenly Realm's space to shatter inch by inch, and the chaotic energy to surge.
"Courting death!"
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor roared, realizing their plan was to shatter the Red Dust Heavenly Realm. Once the Red Dust Heavenly Realm was destroyed, the origin of the Great Dao would manifest. Their aim was the origin of the Great Dao of the Red Dust Realm. As the Heavenly Emperor of the Red Dust Realm, how could he not be enraged?
With a cold shout, numerous worlds suddenly appeared behind the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor. Upon closer inspection, there were thirty-three great worlds in total.
"How is this possible?"
The mysterious Immortal Emperors exclaimed in unison.
"How can you possess the blessing of thirty-three worlds?"
"Hmph!" The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly and roared, "Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art, open!"
"Boom!"
As soon as the words fell, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's aura suddenly increased dozens of times. His eyes like lightning, he threw a punch at the nine Immortal Emperors, the powerful might directly enveloping the nine Immortal Emperors. With a "boom," the nine Immortal Emperors were reduced to nothingness, and the other invaders below the Immortal Emperor level were completely annihilated.
The supreme immortal art capable of unleashing thirty-three times one's own strength—the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art—finally displayed its true power.
Li Beifei's heart surged as he watched. However, he frowned. Could it be that it was over just like that?
"Rumble!"
At that moment, another change occurred. A crack appeared in the firmament, and a nine-story pagoda descended from the rift. The pagoda looked like an ordinary earthly tower, without any powerful aura emanating from it.
But the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's pupils constricted. He felt himself bound by an invisible force. The closer the pagoda came, the stronger the binding force became.
Immediately, he shouted, "Senior!"
As soon as the words fell, a scene that shocked Li Beifei appeared. A turtle that looked only two palms in size appeared, looking exactly like his pet Li Wangba.
"Damn it, could it be that this old turtle wasn't bragging? Is he really the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's senior?" Li Beifei felt that this scene was too outrageous.
Without giving him time to think, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor took out a scroll and handed it to the turtle, saying, "Senior, that pagoda is too terrifying. I am no match for it. I fear the Red Dust Realm is doomed. This is the Dao trace of the 'Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Immortal Art.' If you can survive, please help me find a suitable successor. Thank you!"
"Kid, what are you talking about? Your grandpa turtle will definitely survive," the turtle glared at the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor. What did he mean by survive?
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor smiled and said, "I'll hold on for a while. Senior, find a chance to leave the Red Dust Realm."
The turtle nodded and then complained, "I came here today to have tea with you, but I didn't expect to run into this. I don't know if it's my bad luck or your good fortune."
After speaking, the turtle ran away, without even looking back.
Seeing this scene, Li Beifei decisively confirmed that this turtle was the current Li Wangba.
Just as the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor was about to face the terrifying pagoda alone, some people who should have been able to escape returned.
"Heavenly Emperor, we're back!"
Those who returned were all above the Immortal King level. As for True Immortals and those below, they had already been sent away from the Red Dust Realm.
"You… shouldn't have come back," the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor said with a wry smile.
"Haha, we've already lived for hundreds of millions of years anyway. Under your leadership, Heavenly Emperor, the Red Dust Realm has a pivotal position in the myriad realms and has brought us countless years of peace. Since we've enjoyed peace, we naturally have to experience war."
A powerful Immortal King laughed loudly.
"Being able to fight alongside the Heavenly Emperor, even if we die, is an honor!"
"呸呸, Immortal King Aoming, shut your crow's mouth. Are you saying we're definitely going to die?"
"Haha, I was wrong!"
Seeing that everyone had already put life and death aside, the Red Dust Heavenly Emperor's heart was not so heavy.
"Alright, then let us give our last bit of strength for the Red Dust Realm that gave birth to us and raised us!"
The Red Dust Heavenly Emperor roared. The thirty-three great worlds behind him exploded, causing his aura to rapidly climb, soon reaching a special realm.
He sacrificed his own Dao in exchange for a brief power beyond the Immortal Emperor.
But the next moment, the pagoda suddenly emitted a powerful golden light, enveloping everyone. Before they could react, they were sucked into the pagoda. After them, the pagoda destroyed the Red Dust Heavenly Realm, absorbing the origin of the Great Dao within.
After doing all this, the pagoda left through the crack in the firmament.
And the Red Dust Realm, after this brief battle, completely declined.
At this time, Li Beifei felt another dizzy spell, and when he opened his eyes, he was back in his own small courtyard.
And the scroll that should have been in front of him had disappeared.
"Where's the scroll?"
...
