The Star Dragon Patriarch screamed in pain as the blade of the sabre dug deeper into his flesh. Sabre Qi shot into his body, tearing into his flesh and reaching into his bones.
The sabre Qi did not stop. It spread across his body, before tearing into the dragon's skin, ripping apart his scales.
The Dragon Emperor suddenly lift the body of the Dragon Patriarch, using his body to shield the incoming sword slash of the Saintly Sword Emperor.
The sword struck the dragon's body, earning another groan of pain from the latter.
Before the Star Dragon Patriarch knew it, his body was lifted once more. The next moment, he felt a powerful arrows of fire and ice piercing through his chest before exploding.
An explosion of fire an ice rang out.
From the smoke, the figure of the Dragon Emperor flew out, carrying the figure of the Star Dragon Patriarch, his body covered in wounds of frostbites and burns.
"My~ my~ my~ it seems that the others are finally joining in the fun," Dragon Emperor grinned.
The roars of dragons revebrated as the other four Dragon Patriarchs appeared, each in their true beast form.
The cries of phoenix was heard across the sky.
The Phoenix Empress rise through the air also in her true form, blazing in a flames of fire and ice. The scorching hot red fire, containing the essence of life while the blue blue fire contains the essence of death.
The Four Dragon Patriarchs, the Phoenix Empress and the Saintly Sword Emperor. With all of their combined attacks, a powerful strike was released.
The Star Dragon Patriarch widened his eyes in horror as he watched the upcoming attacks.
"Stop! All of you!" His scream was muffled as the explosion rang out.
When the smoke dissipate, the Star Dragon Patriarch laid on the ground, numerous wounds adorning his body.
The Dragon Emperer, remains unscathed and walks out of the smoke. He looks up to the sky, a small grin across his face.
"I suppose this is time for round two?"
Suddenly, countless lights engulfed him, before transforming into myriads of elements.
The Elvin Queen stood alongside the others, her hands stretched forward in a glowing green.
Suddenly, the space in front of her distorted. A powerful sabre will pierced through. Glowing in golden colour, the sabre chopped down.
The laws of heavens and the earth tremble in the presence of the sabre will. The very essence of reality itself distorted as it neared her.
When the sabre will was only a few metres away from the Elvin Queen, a blue light flashes forward.
Like a calm flowing river, the Saintly Sword Emperor thrust his sword forward. The image of a flowing river manifest behind him.
Within the surgical flowing river, a powerful sword manifest, carrying a powerful sword aura.
The moment the sabre and sword will clashed, the surrounding laws distorted.
Following their wills, the two flash forward. Their sabre and sword collided.
The Saintly Sword Emperor took a few steps back, his face darkens.
The Dragon Emperor raised his sabre, blocking the hoove of the Lightning Qilin Patriarch.
The qilin's purple eyes glows. Purple lightning exploded from the his body, engulfing the whole world in purple colour.
The purple lightning containing the laws of judgement and destruction engulfed the body of the Dragon Emperor.
The dragons are known to he the embodiment of sovereignty. They are the sovereigns of beasts and the sovereign over the affinities they embodied.
As for the qilin, they had took a different path in evolution. While they are as prideful as the dragons, they embodied a completely different concepts. They are the embodiment of judgement. The Lightning Qilins are known as the judgement of heavens.
When Heaven is angered, it will sent down tribulations as a form of punishment. There are many forms of tribulations.
And the lightning tribulation is the most feared of them all.
And the Lightning Qilins, has the power to manipulate this very lightning.
The tribulation lightning around his body crackles in otherworldly light as the Lightning Qilin Patriarch stood on his spot, looking down on the spot where the Dragon Emperor stood.
His eyes suddenly widened in fear when a bright flame of gold containing the purest essence of yang erupted from the ground, engulfing the Lighting Qilin Patriarch.
A blue light streaks through the sky. It was the Lightning Dragon Patriarch.
Similar to the Lightning Qilins, the Lightning Dragons are the embodiment of lightning. While the Lightning Qilins embodies the judgement and destruction aspect of lightning, the Lightning Dragons embodies it's fast and destructive nature.
"Lightning Qilin Pa-." The Lightning Dragon wasn't able to finish his words when he felt a powerful supression falling upon his shoulder.
The Dragon Emperor appears right before the Lightning Dragon.
Boom!
The Lightning Dragon have been suppressed by the aura of the Dragon Emperor. When the Dragon Emperor circulated the Dragon Emperor's fist and landed a blow on his cheek, he was sent flying.
The Dragon Emperor laughed as he grabbed the Lightning Dragon Patriarch's body by the tail before throwing him to the streak of azure light flying towards him.
The Azure Dragon Patriarch widened his eyes as the body of the Lightning Dragon Patriarch crashed against his body.
The Azure Dragon Patriarch wasn't able to stabilise his body when his body hit the body of the Lightning Dragon Patriarch.
The Azure Dragon Patriarch crashed into the ground. Looking up, he widened his eyes once more as he saw the Dragon Emperor using the body of the now unconscious body of the Lightning Dragon Patriarch as a whip.
The bodies of the two Dragon Patriarchs are being treated like toys in his hand. Seeing such scene, the body of the Fire Dragon Patriarch blaze in anger.
The Fire Dragon Patriarch rush at him as full, speed, leaving behind trails of fire behind him him. Behind him, the Five Elements Qilin Patriarch followed.
The Dragon Emperor met them head on. His sabre erupted in a terrifying sabre aura as he swing the golden sabre while circulating the Dragon Emperor's Sabre Arts.
The image of a golden dragon manifest behind him as he struck his sabre down.
At that moment, the whole world temble as his sabre transforms into a golden dragon.
His sabre struck the claws of the Fire Dragon Patriarch. The golden flame erupted from his sabre, enveloping his body in an instant.
Fiery hot flame erupted from the body of the Fire Dragon Patriarch. The golden flame began to cool down before his fire, yet the next moment his eyes widened.
An image of a gigantic claws appears before him.
The Dragon Emperor's claws reached out, piercing through his left eye before erupting in golden coloured flame and burning the wound he just inflicted.
The Fire Dragon's Rage Flame erupted, sensing it's master's anger.
"Dragon Emperor! I swear I will skinned you and that master of yours for what you've done!" This time, the Fire Dragon Patriarch is truly angry.
Two leaders of the strongest clans of his race had been humiliated to such degree. How could he not be angry?
Even more, he just lost an eye. Given the strength of his physical body, it will be harder for him to heal.
In his fury, the Fire Dragon Patriarch rushed at him, his Rage Flame blazing to life once more. Ignoring all of the injuries on his body, he gigantic form leaped towards the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor simply grinned at him, his crimson red eyes gleaming with mockery. He turns his body around, swinging his tails that enlarged tona gigantic size.
His tail is covered in golden dragonic scales, each an armour that could withstand the strike of countless Great Emperor.
The body of the Fire Dragon Patriarch collided with his tail. Despite his strength, the momentum of the Fire Dragon Patriarch lost out against the Dragon Emperor's and his body was thrown into the distance.
The Azure Dragon Patriarch was about to rise up from the ground when the Fire Dragon Patriarch's body crashed against his body.
The Dragon Emperor thrusts his palm forward. A huge palm of yang flame shot out, burning their surroundings in an instant.
Before the palm was about to hit them, a wall of rock rise from the ground, blocking the incoming palm. The Five Elements Qilin Patriarch leapt out of the ground.
His body transforms into pure energy. His physical form transforms into light of five different colours. Wood, fire, water, earth, metal.
The power of the surrounding laws of the five elements converged.
An explosion rang out behind the Dragon Emperor followed by the roar of a Qilin.
The Lightning Qilin Patriarch had also transformed into his spiritual body, becoming pure lightning itself.
Facing the two incoming qilins, the Dragon Emperor grin.
On one hand, he held his sabre tighter while on the other his fingers clenched into a fist.
The sabre struck down.
The Lightning Qilin Patriarch halted, sensing the Dragon Emperor's aura locking on him. At that moment, his eyes widened, seeing the sabre transforms into the claw of a Divine Dragon, slashing down at him.
The Five Elements Qilin felt terror from the deepest part of his heart. The moment the Dragon Emperor launched his fist, his entire arm are enveloped on a bright golden colour before transforming into the head of a dragon.
The Qilin Patriarchs can only watch in horror as the attacks of the Dragon Emperor approached him.
The Lightning Qilin Patriarch screamed, as the image of five dragonic claws descent upon him, creating five huge slashes over his body.
The Five Elements Qilin Patriarch wants to run away, but the huge dragon simply opens it's mouth and devoured him whole.
"H-how is this possible?! To be able to circulate two techniques at the same time, just how talented is he?!" The Phoenix Empress shouted in horror.
"More than talented than any of your pathetic excuse of race can ever be."
The space before her shattered and from the dark void a huge palm of flaming gold shot out.
Panicked, the Phoenix Empress shrieked in horror as she forms a barrier of ice in order to protect herself.
It was futile, the Dragon Emperor's flaming palm simply smashed through her shield barrier, it's heat melting all of the ice.
His palm struck her chest, the golden flame erupting into a bright explosion of gold.
An explosion of fire and ice erupted. The Phoenix Empress transforms into her beast form, a gorgeous phoenix of red adorned with feathers of blue.
Using her top speed, she flashes away in an attempt to escape.
The Dragon Emperor watches with a cold smile. Rising the sabre in his hand, he circulate the Dragon Emperor's Sabre Arts and slashed down.
A golden crescent shaped sabre Qi shot out. In an instant, the sabre Qi arrived just behind the phoenix.
The Phoenix Empress screamed in pain, as the sabre Qi struck her body. An explosion rang out, and when the smoke dissipate, the body of the Phoenix Empress can be seen falling to the ground.
The Dragon Emperor look up to the sky, seeing the Elvin Queen with her Avatar Body standing tall over billions of kilometres behind her. On it's hand, her Avatar Body held a sword shining in a bright golden colour.
"Oh mother earth, tree of life and ancestor of all elves, lend me your strength to defeat this great evil."
The sword in the Avatar Body's hand increase in length and glows brighter.
The blonde haired beauty swings her hand, the Avatar Body behind her following after her movement, swinging the golden sword.
The Dragon Emperor raised his sabre, his fighting intent blazing.
However, in the next instant, his surroundings started to change. The space around him ruptured as water suddenly flow out, forming huge waves that smashed through his body.
'A Sword Domain.' the Dragon Emperor's gaze gleams as he looks up to the sky, his vision penetrating through the oceanic water.
The Saintly Sword Emperor float beside the Elvin Queen, one hand behind him while the other holding the long sword.
"How interesting, he was able to form a Soul with two affinities." The eyes of the Elvin Queen can't help but be amused.
"A sabre soul affinity and yang soul affinity. No wonder his comprehension over these two paths had reached such height." The Saintly Sword Emperor'a eyes gleams with killing intent.
Two sword lights thrust through the ocean formed from the sword domain. The two sword lights struck the body of the Dragon Emperor. With his body already trapped inside the sword domain, every dropped of water from the ocean is a sword constantly piercing his skin.
Facing the two sword lights, his body was thrown to the bottom of the sea floor.
Patriarch Truth smile, amused, "He was such a talented youth, such a shame that he chose the wrong path. What do you think Heaven's Guiding Emperor? He was one of your most talented disciple after all."
In the air, Bai Shenxiu sat on a throne. The crimson haired man sat crossed legs, leaning against the throne and enjoying a cup of tea. Headmaster Xiao, one of his disciples float beside him, preparing a table filled with delicious desserts. Amidst the desert, a small plate and a cup are placed.
The Heaven's Guiding Emperor took a sip from of the cup he is holding.
"Long Aotian is not the most talented disciple I have taken," the Heaven's Guiding Emperor suddenly spoke, "He is the most talented brat I've ever taught."
"Oh? Is that so?" Patriarch Truth tilted his head, "If so, why would you allow us to kill him?"
Bai Shenxiu's eyes gleams in an odd light. For a second, his grip on the cup of tea tightens before loosening. Patriarch Truth naturally sees this.
As he sat there, Bai Shenxiu's eyes gleam in purple colour. His vision pierce through space and time, peering into the strings of karmic strings in the air.
A family of three, sitting around a round dinner table.
The man is handsome, with a youthful vigor and eyes filled with a gentle look.
The woman is beautiful, carrying a noble elegant no different than a queen despite the simple clothing she wore.
A child no different than four stood in between the two, a piece of bun in their hands. Their mouth waters as they stare at the bun with their big round eyes.
"Little moon, is the bun good?" The father asks gently.
"Mm! So good! Daddy's cooking is the best!"
The couple look at one another, before chuckling.
Their daughter is so cute.
"Your bun tastes really bad old man." The young Dragon Emperor spit out the bun he had just eaten, a look of disgust plastered all over his face.
"Be grateful you brat. You are lucky to even get the chance to taste my cooking."
As the two scenes unfolded before his eyes, Bai Shenxiu can't help but take a bite from a piece of bun from the table that had been set by his disciple.
It tasted really dry.
So bland. He can't even tastes the meat.
"Was my cooking really that bad?" A flicker of emotions flashes within his eyes.
But as soon as that emotions resurfaced, he immediately buries it.
Bai Shenxiu shook his head.
"What an annoyance." The crimson haired man said, grumpily.
He had lived for far too long.
What was the point in dwelling in the past where he will only face that useless girl?
"Oh, would you look at that? The Dragon Emperor's Sabre Domain was actually strong enough to destroy the Saintly Sword Emperor's Sword Domain." Patriarch Truth suddenly commented.
It js just as he said.
The Saintly Sword Emperor's Sword Domain was indeed powerful. That is to be expected from the current Saintly Sword Emperor of this generation.
However, when everyone thought that the Dragon Emperor would finally be defeated by the Saintly Sword Emperor and the Elvin Queen, Long Aotian suddenly manifested his own Sabee Domain.
While the Saintly Sword Emperor's Sword Domain transformed the surrounding areas into a world of sea, the Dragon Emperor's Sabre Domain completely transformed this whole Central World into the second sun.
'How terrifying, the only ones who are effected by his Sabre Domain are those who are in this battlefield. Those who are outside the battlefield are doing fine. Some of them are even gaining an enlightenment after comprehending the laws within this domain.' Patriarch Truth can't help but tremble.
To think that the Dragon Emperor's comprehension of the sabre Dao is already on such height.
The body of the Elvin Queen was dangled by the Dragon Emperor, a long fibers of strings wrapped tightly around her neck, one of her arms is missing and she is currently unconscious.
The Saintly Sword Emperor? His unconscious body sprawled across the ground, his own sword had pierced through his abdomen, pinning him to the blazing ground. Surrounding him are the lifeless bodies of many other sword masters.
'He is too strong, for our plan to succeed he needs to die.' When Patriarch Truth think about this, the space before him suddenly tremble.
The claws of the Dragon Emperor reached out, striking his right eye.
Patriarch Truth was about to step back but it was already too late. The moment the Dragon Emperor grabbed his right eye, he began to swing his arm violently, shaking the body of Patriarch Truth without care for the world.
Splurt.
The nerves connecting his eye to his brain was severed and the Dragon Emperor ripped his eye from his socket.
The Dragon Emperor grinned, "This Emperor shall be taking this as a compensation for daring to schemed against this Emperor."
The blonde haired dragonoid take step forward. The moment he did so, thousands of his clones shot out of his body, surrounding the rest of the army of the Six Hegemons.
"Now, this Emperor shall be merciful." The Dragon Emperor grinned even more devilishly.
"Do you want these clones of this Emperor to just use their Dragonoid form or their Dragon form?"
"The choice is yours."
