At almost the same moment, the fist force and sword light clashed together.
Crack Bang!
The ground cracked while horrifying winds engulfed all places.
The wind storm contained chaotic law power causing the Skull Army to be disintegrated by the wind storm.
After executing fist, the Zombie Great Emperor stood in place. On the other side, Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist was also standing in place.
This meant that the duo were even in strength.
“Eh?!” The Heaven Fire Doyen was shocked.
The Zombie Great Emperor’s attack power might not be outstanding among the great emperors in the Heaven Pillar Continent, but he wasn’t at the bottom either.
If Li Fuchen was able to clash head on with the Zombie Great Emperor, it meant that Li Fuchen’s strength was already comparable with a great emperor.
Yang Deng and Yang Long weren’t as shocked.
Li Fuchen was obviously a dual cultivator. There wasn’t a need to talk about his body refinement strength as Li Fuchen was able to crush and kill the White Bone Devil Emperor, proving that Li Fuchen’s body refinement strength was competent.
Furthermore, Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength must not be underestimated either. Back when they were at the White Bone Mountain, Li Fuchen relied on his sword dao strength to rescue Yang Long and Yang Le. At that time, Li Fuchen’s qi cultivation was only at the peak level of Primary Sea Realm.
But now, Li Fuchen’s qi cultivation was already at the 3rd level of Law Phase Realm.
If anyone said that Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength wasn’t as formidable as his body refinement strength, the duo wouldn’t believe it.
Therefore, the duo weren’t surprised at all when they saw Li Fuchen evenly matched with the Zombie Great Emperor.
Of course, if Li Fuchen was able to exchange countless moves with the Zombie Great Emperor, or even defeat the Zombie Great Emperor, the duo would be astonished.
There were plenty of peak level emperors who could exchange one move with a great emperor, but there were only a few that could exchange several moves. It didn’t represent that those people had the strength of a great emperor.
The true difference between a peak level emperor and a great emperor was in their overall strength. There were some aspects when peak level emperors weren’t inferior to great emperors.
“Very good. I wonder how many fists can you withstand!”
The Zombie Great Emperor laughed heartily and started to execute consecutive fists at Li Fuchen.
The Zombie Great Emperor was renowned in the Heaven Pillar Continent because of his defense and also for his Zombie Divine Fist. He didn’t believe that Li Fuchen would be able to continue withstanding his attacks.
The Zombie Great Emperor fought with plenty of great emperors before and most of the great emperors had attack powers that were greater than him. However, at the end, it would be those great emperors that were exhausted first.
10 fists, 100 fists, 500 fists…
The duo exchanged moves with extreme speed and 500 fists didn’t take more than 15 minutes.
The Zombie Great Emperor started with a composed expression but it was gradually turning unpleasant.
After 500 fists, Li Fuchen wasn’t at a disadvantage at all. Instead, he was the one that received several sword strikes from Li Fuchen. Had it not been for his tough defense, his head might have been elsewhere.
“His defense is indeed tough.” Li Fuchen thought silently.
Li Fuchen might be evenly matched with the Zombie Great Emperor, but Yan Qingwu wasn’t in a great situation.
Yan Qingwu’s strength was competent, but as compared to the Skull Great Emperor, there was obviously a difference. But if they changed opponents, allowing Yan Qingwu to fight with the Zombie Great Emperor instead, the situation might be different. After all, in terms of attack power, the Zombie Great Emperor was much more inferior to the Skull Great Emperor.
“I have to finish this battle quickly.”
Li Fuchen withdrew his law phase and unsheathed the Joint-Heaven Sword.
Pfff!
Fresh blood sprayed out.
Everyone was stunned, including the Heaven Fire Doyen and Skull Great Emperor.
The Zombie Great Emperor’s defense was definitely no.1 in the Heaven Pillar Continent. As of now, no one was able to injure the Zombie Great Emperor. At most, they were only able to suppress him.
But a single sword slash from Li Fuchen was able to injure the Zombie Great Emperor, it was simply ridiculous.
Could it be that Li Fuchen’s attack power was already beyond top-class great emperors and into the realm of a half-saint.
“No, it is that sword.”
The Heaven Fire Doyen’s eyes landed on Li Fuchen’s Joint-Heaven Sword.
The sword was emitting terrifying sword intent as the heaven and earth law evaded when the sword intent appeared.
“Heaven class high-tier artifact sword!” The Heaven Fire Doyen gasped of cold air.
In the Heaven Pillar Continent, there was only one heaven class high-tier weapon and it was in possession of the Heaven Pillar Continent’s strongest great emperor, the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor.
Apart from the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor, the other great emperors were using heaven class mid-tier weapons.
Heaven class high-tier weapons contained law that was extremely powerful and it was enough for heaven and earth law to withdraw.
Therefore, no one was able to resist it.
Li Fuchen was able to break open the Zombie Great Emperor’s defense because the Joint-Heaven Sword had shaved off the surface law on the Zombie Great Emperor’s body. Otherwise, no matter how sharp the Joint-Heaven Sword was, it wouldn’t be enough to injure the Zombie Great Emperor.
“A heaven class high-tier artifact sword?” The Skull Great Emperor had a gloomy expression.
He knew better than anyone about the strength of a heaven class high-tier weapon. In fact, if the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor didn’t have a heaven class high-tier weapon, the Skull Great Emperor believed he wouldn’t be inferior.
“Such a terrifying sword.” The Flying Corpse Emperor’s heart was shivering.
It was fortunate that Li Fuchen’s sword dao strength wasn’t as strong during the previous time and Li Fuchen was only using his body refinement to fight with the Flying Corpse Emperor. Otherwise, the Flying Corpse Emperor would have been cleaved into two by Li Fuchen and wouldn’t even have the chance to stand here.
“Damn it.”
The Zombie Great Emperor was enraged and blasted countless fists at Li Fuchen.
Pfff!
A transparent blade ignored the distance between them and left a wound on the Zombie Great Emperor’s body.
The Void Heaven Sword Art was a void dao sword art and void dao sword arts were top-class among heaven class high-tier sword arts. Li Fuchen had yet to comprehend the Void Heaven Sword World, otherwise, a single sword would be enough to severely injure the Zombie Great Emperor.
Seeing the situation, the Zombie Great Emperor could only shrink his body. After all, the bigger the body, the bigger the target.
“Blood of Zombie, burn.”
Like the Flying Corpse Emperor, the Zombie Great Emperor didn’t have a choice but to burn the Blood of Zombie.
A layer of burning blood covered the surface of the Zombie Great Emperor’s body.
Tss!
There was a burst of blood light as the Zombie Great Emperor blasted a fist at Li Fuchen.
This fist was definitely several times stronger than before. When the fist was blasted out, the void shook and even collapsed a little. If this attack hit its target, even a top-class great emperor would be severely injured. This was also the Zombie Great Emperor’s trump card that was meant for survival.
Unless it was the crucial moment, he wouldn’t use it easily.
“Blade of Void.”
The Joint-Heaven Sword was covered in a layer of translucent blade light as Li Fuchen slashed at the blood-colored fist.
Rumble!
The void tumbled and a pitch-black crack extended out.
This time, Li Fuchen wasn’t able to injure the Zombie Great Emperor, as the fist was already powerful enough to make the void collapse. Li Fuchen’s Joint-Heaven Sword felt as though it had sunk into a swamp and wasn’t able to execute its full strength.
However, Li Fuchen didn’t believe that the Zombie Great Emperor was able to constantly burn his Blood of Zombie.
Roar!
The Zombie Great Emperor let out ferocious roars and attacked with greater aggression. His objective was to hit Li Fuchen with a single fist within a short period of time.
A single fist should be enough for Li Fuchen to lose his combat capability.
After hundreds of fists later, the Zombie Great Emperor had already exhausted plenty of Blood of Zombie and still wasn’t able to touch even the corner of Li Fuchen’s clothes.
Li Fuchen’s reaction speed was unbelievably fast and it felt as though the Zombie Great Emperor’s every move was made under Li Fuchen’s eyelid.
How could the Zombie Great Emperor know that Li Fuchen’s true spirit had already transformed into the saint spirit. His spiritual awareness was able to calculate the trajectory of the Zombie Great Emperor’s next fist. Therefore, for the Zombie Great Emperor to hit Li Fuchen, it was the same as a fantasy.
Tss Tss!
Two translucent blades slashed at the eyes of the Zombie Great Emperor.
The Zombie Great Emperor frantically turned his head but was still injured.
Two blood wounds appeared on the Zombie Great Emperor’s temples.
It was fortunate that the Zombie Great Emperor’s body was covered with bloodline power, therefore the wound wasn’t deep. Otherwise, the Zombie Great Emperor would be in disadvantage.
“Skull Great Emperor, this kid is troublesome, hurry up and assist me.”
At this moment, the Zombie Great Emperor couldn’t be bothered with his face. Li Fuchen wasn’t just a powerful peak level emperor, it was a great emperor, a true great emperor.
In fact, regular great emperors might not be as powerful as Li Fuchen.
In the Zombie Great Emperor’s opinion, Li Fuchen obviously had the overall strength of a top-class great emperor and attack power that was beyond top-class great emperors.
“Such power!” Yang Deng and Yang Long were flabbergasted.
They knew that Li Fuchen was powerful, but not this powerful. Even the Zombie Great Emperor had to call for help. Apart from the Heaven Pillar Great Emperor, who else in the Heaven Pillar Continent could deal with Li Fuchen?
The duo were instantly excited.
If the Yang Clan had Li Fuchen as their backer, the Yang Clan would definitely be able to dominate the Heaven Pillar Continent and it was much stronger than their current backer, the Heaven Fire Guild.
It didn’t mean that the Heaven Fire Guild was inferior to Li Fuchen. The Heaven Fire Guild would only assist the Yang Clan when in a life or death crisis, unlike the close relationship they had with Li Fuchen.
The Heaven Fire Doyen was a little regretful now. If he knew that Li Fuchen was this powerful, he wouldn’t have stood by the side.
If he could form a relationship with Li Fuchen, the Heaven Fire Guild’s authority to speak in the Heaven Pillar Continent would be enhanced and they would be on an equal ground with the Heaven Pillar Guild.
But it wasn’t too late either.
Seeing that the Skull Great Emperor was slamming a palm at Li Fuchen, the Heaven Fire Doyen brandished his crutch to counter the palm force with a fire dragon.
“Heaven Fire Doyen, what is the meaning of this?” The Skull Great Emperor was overflowing with murderous aura.
The Skull Great Emperor had already ordered the Skull Army to stop attacking the Yang Clan. He was planning to seize Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu first before eliminating the Yang Clan. He didn’t expect the Heaven Fire Doyen to make a move now.
The Heaven Fire Doyen said, “You guys are trying to outnumber your opponent, this old one doesn’t like it.”
“Stop trying to act righteous. Today, I shall let you witness my Skull Great Emperor’s prowess.”
The Skull Great Emperor’s white bone crown was shining and a horrific power was gathering into the Skull Great Emperor’s body.
Rumble!
The world was shaking and the void was intersecting.
“This is?”
The Heaven Fire Doyen was shocked.
“Old man, time to die.” The Skull Great Emperor slammed his palm at the Heaven Fire Doyen.
The palm force came too quickly and it already messed up the concept of time and space. The Heaven Fire Doyen reacted a little too late and before he could counter with his full force, he was sent flying by the palm.
“What is that cardinal artifact?” The Heaven Fire Doyen had an unpleasant expression.
He was certain that the Skull Great Emperor’s white bone crown was irregular. A normal heaven class cardinal artifact didn’t have such power.
The Skull Great Emperor sneered. “Heaven Fire Doyen, my White Bone Saint Crown is made with a saint’s bone and it contains the power of a saint. It shouldn’t have been exposed, but since you seek death, I shall fulfil your wish.”
In the past, the Skull Great Emperor’s best artifacts were the three skeleton artifacts, the Skeleton Cloak, the Skeleton Necklace, and the Skeleton Bracelet.
Since he obtained the White Bone Saint Crown, he no longer used the three skeleton artifacts and left them in the artifact loan pavilion. After all, the skeleton artifacts were only heaven class mid-tier artifacts while the White Bone Saint Crown was a heaven class high-tier artifact.
