Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2539
2539 Change!
The Martial Dao Prime Body had not cultivated to that stage after all and did not know the insurmountable distance between an Emperor and a Great Emperor.
However, he had already realized that although there was only a single word difference between the two, the difference was like heaven and earth!
Even with Die Yue’s capabilities, she could only be referred to as a Demon Empress and was not at the level of a Great Emperor.
Everything else aside, Emperor Bo Xun alone and Fiend Emperor Apocalypse from tens of millions of years ago were all extremely talented and renowned ruthless people.
However, none of those Emperors could reach that level in the end.
Up till this point of his cultivation, the Martial Dao Prime Body had only heard of two Great Emperors—Great Emperor Longevity and Great Emperor Infinite.
Although the Apocalyptic Fiend Sutra was strong and was said to be comparable to the Taboo Mystic Classics, it was not at the level of the Taboo Mystic Classics.
That was because Fiend Emperor Apocalypse did not manage to take that final step and become a Great Emperor even till his death!
Heavenly Wolf once said that there was only a single Great Emperor in an era.
One Great Emperor!
Ever since Great Emperor Longevity passed away, a Great Emperor had not been born for a long time.
In this generation, paragons rose and monster incarnates appeared. Even a powerful Emperor like Bo Xun appeared once more and descended into the mortal world.
In this generation, there was Bo Xun, Die Yue and even more Emperors.
There were at least 30 Emperors in the Heavenly World alone!
Of course, within the trichiliocosm, there was a difference in strength and some weaker worlds might only have one or two Emperors.
Some of them were stronger like the Heavenly World and had dozens of Emperors.
Even among so many Emperors, there could only be a single Great Emperor in the end!
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not know which of the Emperors would be able to look down on the world and create a brand new era!
He was far from that level. However, he knew that the distance between him and Die Yue was getting closer.
One day, he would catch up to Die Yue and walk shoulder to shoulder with her!
There were many reasons why the Martial Dao Prime Body had not looked for Die Yue all these years.
Firstly, his cultivation realm was not high enough.
Although he had entered the True Martial realm and attracted a Tenth Tribulation, at the end of the day, he was still only a Perfected Fiend.
Even if he went to look for Die Yue, he would not be of much help and might even incur her contempt.
He could not get over his internal struggles either.
Secondly, he had yet to completely resolve the matters here after establishing Tianhuang Sect.
Tianhuang Sect only had a single Grotto-heaven realm expert and was relatively weak.
Thirdly, his Martial Dao was not perfected yet.
It was extremely difficult to deduce and perfect the Martial Dao and the chances of that were slim.
When he saw Die Yue, his mental state would naturally change and it would be difficult for him to focus all his attention on deducing the Martial Dao.
The Martial Dao Prime Body did not dare to be distracted!
If he could not deduce and perfect the Martial Dao, his Dao would stop here. Even if he met Die Yue in the future, there would be nothing to be proud of.
There was no way he could even help her or stand shoulder to shoulder with her!
Just as the thoughts of the Martial Dao Prime Body were running wild, Demoness Ji leaped into the coffin and gripped the gigantic black axe with both hands, wanting to lift it.
“Hee-ya!”
However, even though her face was flushed red, the gigantic black axe did not budge at all.
After a few consecutive attempts, her arms ached and she was so tired that she leaned against the inner wall of the coffin. Sliding down slowly, she waved her hand. “No, I can’t carry it. Seems like you’re the only one who can inherit the opportunity left behind by Fiend Emperor Apocalypse.”
“Let me try.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said and leaped into the coffin as well. Gripping the handle of the gigantic axe with one hand, he exerted strength and wanted to lift the latter up.
However, the gigantic black axe was still motionless, as though it was embedded at the bottom of the coffin!
“Mmm?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body frowned slightly.
Even minor Grotto-heaven Fiend Kings would not be able to withstand this burst strength he just released. Even then, it was not enough to lift the gigantic axe.
“So weak!”
Demoness Ji snickered with a teasing expression.
The Martial Dao Prime Body took a deep breath and put away the black fiend diagram casually. He squatted down and gripped the handle of the gigantic axe with both hands, lifting it upwards!
Finally, the gigantic black axe moved. However, it was almost negligible and was merely lifted slightly.
“How could this be?”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was puzzled.
Even Emperor weapons of the past could not possess such weight after tens of millions of years and the spirit consciousness within had long been destroyed.
Right then, a black streak of light flew out from the storage bag of the Martial Dao Prime Body and landed on the handle of the gigantic axe.
It was the black fiend diagram formed by the nine incomplete diagrams. At that moment, it was wrapped around the handle of the gigantic black axe, circle after circle…
The next moment, there was a boom!
The gigantic black axe actually flew up on its own and looked down from above, as though a fiend body that was a hundred thousand feet tall was standing behind it.
The head of the body was faintly visible in the clouds and its gigantic palm wielded the gigantic black axe. Two ferocious gazes burst forth from the clouds and locked onto the Martial Dao Prime Body and Demoness Ji in the coffin!
Phew!
The gigantic black axe descended from the skies and cleaved down at the two people in the coffin in an incomparably ferocious manner!
Before the axe blade descended, an unimaginable might had already enveloped the two of them!
The gigantic black axe sealed all escape routes for the two of them!
Psst!
It was way too ferocious!
Against that axe, the flesh of the Martial Dao Prime Body felt a sharp pain.
Demoness Ji could not withstand the pressure and a blood mist sprayed out from her body. Her expression dimmed and her body went limp.
Right now, it was too late for him to escape from this place with Demoness Ji.
With a single thought from the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Hell Suppression Tripod flew out from his glabella.
The Martial Dao Prime Body turned the Hell Suppression Tripod upside down and pulled Demoness Ji under the tripod.
At the same time, crackling sounds came from his body.
The Martial Dao Prime Body transformed his bones and curled up, giving most of the tripod’s space to Demoness Ji.
It was as though everything was predestined.
This scene resembled the moment when the two of them met with danger in Tianhuang Mainland.
Although there was no fiend resurrected in this coffin, it was clear that the gigantic black axe wanted their lives as well!
Furthermore, the two of them had nowhere to run and huddled together once more, hiding in the coffin under the Hell Suppression Tripod.
However, this time round, neither of them had any other thoughts.
The gigantic black axe wanted to kill them and this power was far beyond what the Martial Dao Prime Body could withstand.
What if the Hell Suppression Tripod could not defend against it?
Boom!
The gigantic black axe descended and struck the bottom of the Hell Suppression Tripod with a loud bang!
Without hesitation, the Martial Dao Prime Body reached out hurriedly and covered Demoness Ji’s ears!
The Hell Suppression Tripod trembled violently and buzzed endlessly!
The Martial Dao Prime Body shuddered and felt a sharp pain in his ears. Unknowingly, scarlet blood seeped out!
When Demoness Ji saw that, she had a worried expression and reached out instinctively, covering the ears of the Martial Dao Prime Body tightly.
The two of them exchanged glances.
Both of them knew in their hearts that if the gigantic black axe continued slashing down, they would die from the impact even if the Hell Suppression Tripod could defend against it!
“If only there was an underground river beneath this Fiend Cave.”
Demoness Ji’s imagination ran wild.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, the two of them hid in that stone coffin and only managed to escape after falling into the underground river.
