Chapter 1757: Burning Phoenix"s Demise?

The Spatial Blight Emperor"s eyes narrowed in displeasure. His hands moved mysteriously, sending a poisonous attack at Ancestor Cornelia that traveled in a gaseous form. However, it disappeared into the void and tried to enter within the cylindrical projection of the burning phoenix wing barrier through the usage of his spatial laws but was stopped by its encompa.s.sing nature.

Witnessing his attack easily obstructed by Ancestor Cornelia, he couldn"t help but bellow.

"What can I do to stop Reinhardt Weiss while I was suppressing him from escaping? After all, he knew that he was going to die from my poison, so before he died, he used all his strength to send the Burning Phoenix Bonewing Crystal s.h.i.+eld to that old bird. There was nothing I could"ve done!"

Ancestor Cornelia"s narrowed eyes gleamed with a terrifying intent.

She slashed the Burning Phoenix Bonewood Sword in large amounts or multiple directions at the same time, disallowing them to regroup.

*Swu~ Vu~ Vuuu~~~*

*Bang!~*

The Deprived Soulstir Emperor appeared to be struck by a formless intent as he retreated. He hatefully looked at the Grand Burning Phoenix Crown that adorned Ancestor Cornelia"s head and knew that it occasionally activated a soul attack that countered his oppressive and terrifying music, essentially making his attacks useless.

Suddenly, the four wicked path powerhouses found themselves in a slump as they danced to Ancestor Cornelia"s tune before the Deprived Soulstir Emperor couldn"t help but bellow.

"We have no time to spare as their righteous path reinforcements could arrive at any minute. Quick, bring out your Legacy Artifacts!"

The four of them couldn"t help but feel a bit ashamed. They were already ganging up on Ancestor Cornelia at the same time despite her being similar to Spatial Blight Emperor in terms of cultivation base, but with three Legacy Artifacts boosting her prowess immensely, it was unexpected that she would be able to hold against them.

Although they could see that she was overusing her energy, she was a magical beast! Her energy reserves probably exceeded the four of them combined together, so even if she used the three Legacy Artifacts in tandem, it was of little doubt she would be able to hold out against them until the reinforcements arrive!

Realizing all of this, the Deprived Soulstir Emperor was the first one to warn as well as take out his Legacy Artifact.

A Peak-Level Emperor Grade Zither suddenly appeared in his embrace. He directly sat down in mid-air and didn"t even bother to dodge the incoming strikes as he pulled on a string.

*Ting!~*

The string vibrated as it gave birth to an oppressive form of formless might radiated into existence in front of him, instantly clas.h.i.+ng with the crimson flaming sword slash. Both the energies simultaneously canceled each other, causing Ancestor Cornelia"s brows to widen.

Not because her crimson sword slash was destroyed, but she sensed the sensation of death appearing behind her. She swiftly turned around and used the Burning Phoenix Bonewing Crystal s.h.i.+eld to block.

*Clang!~*

A scarlet-red halberd struck the crystal s.h.i.+eld Ancestor Cornelia held in her left hand, causing s.p.a.ce between them to crack.

The Blood World Emperor shot a wicked smile at Ancestor Cornelia as he pressed on. His arms bulged, and his teeth were clenched, shoving more force at her, but Ancestor Cornelia equally held as she defended against his attack.

*Whiss~~~*

The burning phoenix wings barrier suddenly began to corrode as a greenish-red poisonous liquid poured over them. When Ancestor Cornelia glanced at the source as her heart skipped a beat, she saw that it was none other than the Spatial Blight Emperor, his figure flickering around the barrier as he corroded it using a wine cup that seemed to be pouring out the corroding poisonous liquid!

"I admit that we underestimated this old bird, but with our Legacy Artifacts appearing one by one..."

At the same time, the Infernal Lightning Emperor sighed as he held a crimson-golden staff crackling with red lightning.

"She"s nothing!"

He pointed the crimson staff at Ancestor Cornelia as a bolt of red-colored lightning struck out, moving like a dragon with a ma.s.sive momentum as the s.p.a.ce in its path continued to tear at a rate where many fissures began to appear, pulling in the debris of their battle.

"No!"

Ancestor Cornelia parried the Blood World Emperor"s strike with the crystal s.h.i.+eld and swung the bonewood sword at him.

"Ahahaha!"

However, the Blood World Emperor simply cackled with laughter as he retreated when that terrifying bolt of lightning struck Ancestor Cornelia"s crystal s.h.i.+eld, causing it to tumble away. Simultaneously, a formless wave of might arrived when she heard the sound of a high-pitched tone screeching in her ears.

Ancestor Cornelia"s expression changed as she felt that she was almost going to die, but the Grand Burning Phoenix Crown on her head glowed with a crimson light, flames blazing above before it too tumbled from her head, seemingly reaching its endurance.

Her body shook as she felt dizzy when suddenly a scarlet halberd that just left came swinging at her again, its momentum deadly enough to split her into half!

*Bang!!!~*

Ancestor Cornelia struck the crimson halberd using her Burning Phoenix Bonewood Sword, but the force was just extreme and overbearing that it made the sword sharply vibrate before it tumbled out of her grasp.

"Ahhh!~"

The resulting force also sent her flying as she screamed in pain. At the same time, the burning phoenix wing barrier that held on for the most part simultaneously shattered, instantly revealing the thousands of disciples and elders helpless in the overbearing prowess of the four hegemons, ready for the reaping of the wicked.

However, they ignored them as they looked at Ancestor Cornelia, who crashed in the distance.

With the scarlet halberd in his hands, radiating a diabolical yet wicked dark might, the Blood World Emperor slowly flew towards the crash site while the other three looked at this scene with narrowed eyes, their hands stretching out to collect the three Legacy Artifacts for their own.

Ancestor Cornelia was on a bridge where her landing caused the surface to almost collapse. She was down on her knees as she clenched her teeth at the person who appeared in front of her, blood flowing out of her mouth in copious amounts.

Losing all the three Legacy Artifacts in virtually an instant, Ancestor Cornelia"s eyes almost turned helpless. However, the gleam in her eyes didn"t die as she stared at the Blood World Emperor with hatred.

"Old bird, it"s time for you to finally welcome your death."

The Blood World Emperor possessed a devilish grin on his face as he lifted up the scarlet halberd, appearing ready to cleave Ancestor Cornelia into two vertically.

He didn"t particularly bother with the Burning Phoenix Ridge"s Legacy Artifacts. However, his eyes still flashed with greed, wanting to consume the blood essence of this old yet majestic Burning Phoenix. His movements possessed no amount of hesitation as his accursed blood energy rapidly encased his Legacy Artifact.

However, his body abruptly froze.

"Granny, why didn"t you call me as soon as these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds appeared? Could it be that you truly intend to die just like that?"

A purple-robed man with blonde hair suddenly appeared beside Ancestor Cornelia from nowhere as his feet landed on the ground, seemingly emanating an eerie aura that contained both prestige and power, and when his soul aura encompa.s.sed the Burning Phoenix Ridge in an overbearing manner, it inevitably overshadowed all the wicked path hegemons in the area, causing them to narrow their eyes at him.

"Emperor of Death...!"

The Blood World Emperor narrowed his eyes and clenched his teeth. The crimson pole-ax in his hand trembled. However, he didn"t attack but looked at Davis with immense displeasure gleaming in his eyes.
