Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1072: Three Void Emperor’s Royal Decrees

Even the Cyan-robed Guest, who had placed great hopes on that strike, could only watch the thunderbolt fall without even singeing a single hair on The Evil Lord’s body; the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch violently.

”Sorry about that...”

Ling Chen coughed lightly. He knew this was indeed a bit embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do. He had already done his best; he originally didn’t even understand how to use the Thunder Emperor Order. Just being able to call down a single bolt of lightning already made Ling Chen feel quite satisfied.

”Prepare to retreat from here!”

The Cyan-robed Guest made a snap decision. With the bit of power Ling Chen had just shown, he basically posed no threat at all to The Evil Lord. Fighting on alone like this was no different from a lone army; relying on his strength alone, it was simply impossible to suppress The Evil Lord.

Once the other party broke the seal and came out, if they then wanted to leave, they likely wouldn’t be able to.

”Wait.”

Just as the Cyan-robed Guest and Ling Chen were preparing to retreat from the Fiery Region, that white-haired Male suddenly spoke up. He stopped the two of them, a solemn look surfacing in his eyes. ”Why don’t you let me give it a try?”

”You?”

The Cyan-robed Guest’s gaze held some doubt. ”You’re nothing more than a mere will-body. What capability do you have that could help us?”

”I once held this Flame Emperor Order in my hands. Perhaps I can help you to seal this demon together.”

The white-haired Male said.

”Oh?”

The Cyan-robed Guest’s eyes finally lit up slightly, but just as he was still hesitating, with a cracking sound, yet another chain snapped apart.

”Then let’s make a move and give it a try!”

The Cyan-robed Guest nodded toward the white-haired Male. If they let this demon out, the consequences would indeed be unimaginable. If they could eliminate this demon, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Coming to the side of the hanging coffin, the white-haired Male stared at that already weathered corpse. A trace of apology seemed to surface in his eyes as he said, ”Offending you, Xi Yan.”

As his voice fell, his palm flipped over, and a suction force abruptly burst forth from his hand. At the corpse’s lower abdomen, a hollow opened up, and an ancient, fiery-red Token flew out like a ball of fire, landing in the white-haired Male’s hand.

”Let’s begin!”

The Cyan-robed Guest urged the Wind Emperor’s Order to the extreme. Under his intense activation, a cyan Wind Dragon rapidly condensed, swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye until it reached a full hundred zhang in size, its might astonishing.

”Flame Emperor Order, follow me in sealing the demon!”

Beside him, the white-haired Male’s hands formed rapid Dao Marks. His originally blood-red eyes actually became crystal clear, looking as if molten lava was flowing within them.

”Boom!”

Terrifying Flames shot straight into the sky, and then a clear, ringing cry seemed to echo out from within the fire. Next, Ling Chen saw that the surging Flames above the white-haired Male’s will-body actually transformed into a Fire Phoenix a hundred zhang in size.

Within that Fire Phoenix, an appalling power was surging.

Just this Fire Phoenix condensed from the power of the Flame Emperor Order alone was probably enough to rival a Saint!

Ling Chen’s eyes were shaken. So this was the true power of the Void Emperor’s royal decree... He really didn’t know when he would be able to fully unleash the power of the Void Emperor’s royal decree.

Although he couldn’t cause such a big commotion, Ling Chen wasn’t about to just stand there and do nothing either. He hurriedly poured his True Qi into the Thunder Emperor Order in his hand. Brilliant Thunder light was forced out from within the Thunder Emperor Order. Though in terms of intensity it couldn’t compare to the white-haired elder and the Cyan-robed Guest, compared to Ling Chen’s first activation just now, it was already several times stronger.

After that earlier failure, Ling Chen’s control over the latent power within the Thunder Emperor Order had clearly improved to a certain degree.

”Go!”

After a brief buildup, Ling Chen also hurled out the Thunder Emperor Order. A bolt of lightning transformed into a Python tens of zhang long, sweeping out and descending from the heavens!

The three astonishing attacks descended, enveloping and pressing down toward The Evil Lord below.

Bang!

The Wind Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Thunder Python poured down together like three ancient god beasts, ferocious in their momentum, crashing down with earth-shaking might atop The Evil Lord’s head.

Rumble!

In the sea of fire, violent explosions resounded. The Evil Lord let out a deafening roar as boundless black light surged in reverse, transforming into a gigantic black Array Formation.

”Evil King Swallowing Sky Formation!”

The Evil Lord’s voice was piercingly sharp. The black Array Formation abruptly spread out, isolating the space and blocking those three attacks, actually relying on his own strength alone to forcibly intercept all three offensives.

”Increase the pressure!”

The Cyan-robed Guest shouted loudly. The flow of True Qi in his body suddenly sped up, and the Wind Dragon once again swelled in size. At the same time, the white-haired Male also intensified his offensive. His body, which already looked somewhat insubstantial, became even more faint and thin. Clearly, urging this Flame Emperor Order was also consuming a great deal of his strength.

As for Ling Chen, the pressure on him was even greater. He had only just learned to control the Thunder Emperor Order, and now he was being asked to contribute power to suppress The Evil Lord; this was really pushing him too far.

Fortunately, Ling Chen still had unrefined Energy in his body from before. The Medicinal Power of the Fire Infant Fruit and the Earth Heart Fire Lotus had not been fully refined, and Ling Chen had stored them in his Dantian for later use. Now, however, they just so happened to resolve his urgent need.

”Boom!”

As the surging Energy poured into his body, Ling Chen’s earlier expenditure was almost instantly restored. Brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and with a low shout, the Thunder light pouring out from the Thunder Emperor Order spun even more frantically.

”Good kid, your willpower isn’t bad at all.”

Seeing that Ling Chen actually withstood a level of pressure that he should not have been able to bear, the Cyan-robed Guest couldn’t help but nod slightly. Although the latter’s strength was still lacking for now, this tenacity was quite impressive. To persist until now was already no easy feat.

In a short time, they would likely find it very hard to truly deal with The Evil Lord. Next, it would probably turn into a war of attrition. It would come down to whether The Evil Lord gave out first or they did.

What he feared most was Ling Chen giving out first. Once Ling Chen collapsed, with one less Void Emperor’s royal decree participating in the suppression, they would likely find it very difficult to keep The Evil Lord sealed.

Dazzling Energy intertwined within the sea of fire, locked in a deadlock. Although the three of them were relying on the Void Emperor’s royal decree to unleash extremely ferocious attacks, the Black Light Formation around The Evil Lord was not weak either, repeatedly beating back their assaults.

Crack, crack!

Just then, among those three god-beast-like attacks, cracks suddenly appeared all over the body of the blazing Phoenix, making it look as if it was on the verge of shattering apart.

”What’s happening?”

The faces of the Cyan-robed Guest and Ling Chen abruptly changed. They quickly turned their heads, only to see that the white-haired Male controlling the Flame Emperor Order had become almost completely illusory, extremely frail, as if he could be blown away and collapse at any moment.
