NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1162: Father-Daughter Battle
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor felt a chill in his heart as he was the first to be chosen, which was quite normal because he was the weakest among the emperors in terms of cultivation base.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox said solemnly, "Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven is a serious provocation for all emperors. Although it is the Emperor Tribulation stipulated by the Ancestral Court, it also means that all of us have the possibility of being trampled upon. Therefore, every emperor who accepts the challenge, please do your best. Otherwise, the laws of the Ancestral Court are ruthless."
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor nodded at him, and the crystalline light sparkled around his body. In the next moment, the massive phoenix wings unfolded behind him, and he soared into the sky.
Tang San was about to step forward to battle when Xiaowu beside him said, "Third Brother, let me take this fight."
Tang San glanced at her, smiled, and nodded, "Alright!"
Xiaowu floated forward into the void, meeting the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor looked at the daughter whose face was so ethereal that he couldn't see her true appearance, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You have both become emperors and are already the hope of the future Ancestral Court, so why do this?"
Xiaowu sighed lightly and said, "Because this is not our purpose. Father, regardless of what you've done before, in this life, you gave me life. If we take Mother with us in the future, would you be willing to leave with us? I can make the decision to take you with us."
After the fusion of memories from two lifetimes, she was no longer just the Pretty Girl.
Feeling a slight change in his daughter's calm tone, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was momentarily stunned, "Leave? Where to?"
Xiaowu said, "To another place, a better place."
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor asked nervously, "Then, will I still be able to be with your mother?"
Xiaowu shook her head and said, "I don't know, that depends on whether she accepts you. But what I can guarantee is that at least you'll be able to see us often."
"But I've just taken over Crystal Phoenix City, and in the future, I still hope to leave more resources for you. I've struggled to become the Lord of a City."
Xiaowu sighed again, "Can't let go? Just like back then when you couldn't let go of the opportunity to become an emperor, you abandoned me and Mother?"
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor paused, "It's not the same. Isn't my future also yours? You're my only daughter."
Xiaowu asked again, "Then are you willing to let go of all this and come with us?"
"Where exactly are you going?" the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor asked in confusion.
"Just think of us as sailing across the ocean to somewhere else," Xiaowu said.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor frowned and asked, "What are you going overseas for?"
Xiaowu said, "You don't need to worry about this, you just need to tell me if you are willing to give up everything to follow me and Mother."
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's eyes showed a trace of struggle, but he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Although I don't quite understand why you suddenly talk about leaving. But, if one day you and your mother really want to go, I will go with you. Even if it's just to guard you, that would be fine."
Xiaowu smiled, he had finally figured it out!
"Then let's begin. You don't have to hold back," Xiaowu said to the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.
It was then that the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor realized they were now in the midst of Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven. He nodded slightly, wings unfolding behind him, and brilliant crystal light burst forth.
When he unleashed his bloodline power, there was an odd feeling. It was clean, the sky was impeccably clean, with no attribute of Origin Energy present. That dry sensation was extremely peculiar. Without a doubt, this was all caused by the previous Heavenly Tribulation. It was unclear whether the Heavenly Tribulation had obliterated the spirituality of heaven and earth or devoured this Origin Energy.
"Be careful," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said solemnly.
All the other emperors were watching from below, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had just reminded them that no emperor could hold back.
Crystalline rays flickered on the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's body, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Crystal Seal of Heaven and Earth!"
Instantly, the surrounding space seemed to transform into crystalline structures, radiating an unusual light.
Yet Xiaowu's figure turned ethereal at that moment, even though the Crystal Seal of Heaven and Earth had clearly sealed the entire space, her body was mysteriously moving within this solidified Domain. In the next moment, a red brilliance erupted.
All the crystals shattered instantly, the red sword light soared into the sky, not striking the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, but dyeing the sky blood red.
"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out, filled with a joyous emotion.
Yes, it was the joy of the Asura God's Sword, welcoming Xiaowu back.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor only felt a great terror suddenly appear in his divine consciousness, just that single crisp clang rendered his body immobile.
With a gentle swing of Xiaowu's Asura God's Sword, a wave of red light pressed against him, suppressing him from the sky downward, directly forcing him toward the ground.
The emperors below were all watching this battle closely. In their eyes, Tang San and Xiaowu dared to challenge all emperors and Stepping on the Emperor Ascending to Heaven surely meant they had some confidence, otherwise, they wouldn't have done so.
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was the weakest among the emperors, losing was expected, after all, though they had just become emperors, the scene of their Tribulation was truly astonishing.
But even so, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was still an emperor! As an emperor, to lose so quickly, it was really unimaginable.
For a moment, all the emperors felt a heaviness in their hearts.
If Pretty Girl's strength was this formidable, then what about Jin Miaolin?
The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor wore a bitter smile, looking at the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, "I did my best."
His daughter had broken through his strongest Domain with a single sword, the sound of the sword had controlled his divine consciousness. The disparity was truly enormous. Facing her, it was even like facing the Undying Great Demon Emperor.
The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox merely nodded and said, "Endless Spirit King, please accept the challenge."
On the Rihchen Empire's side, the Endless Spirit King nodded slightly, and in the next moment, a massive waterspout erupted from him, sweeping directly toward the sky.
Xiaowu retreated, and Tang San exchanged positions with her, arriving at the spot where she had been. The Holy Dragon Spear in his hand didn't take the form of the Sea God's Trident, but a layer of blue-gold light suddenly erupted from him, forming a circle of blue-gold halo behind his head.
The waterspout soared into the sky, originally aimed to clash against Tang San, but when it was still a hundred meters away, it began to dissipate, transforming into specks of blue light that converged toward Tang San, becoming part of the blue-gold halo behind his head.
Tang San took a Void Step forward, a ring of golden light ascended around him, and the Holy Dragon Spear in his hand instantly transformed into brilliant gold color.
"Be careful," his calm voice echoed in the Ancestral Court.
In the next moment, the Holy Dragon Spear transformed into a streak of golden light that shot out explosively.
The blue-golden radiance carried a touch of illusory light and shadow mid-air, and all the vegetation within the Ancestral Court seemed to gently quiver.
The Endless Spirit King was shaken to the core. At the instant Tang San projected the Holy Dragon Spear, he felt as if everything about him was completely locked down, unable even to dodge. He attempted to gather the water element to defend, but was horrified to find that all the water elements seemed to have abandoned him, unable to be gathered.
Tang San was the Sea God, and the Sea God controlled the boundless sea; the water element naturally fell within his dominion. Gods and godhood were one, how could the water element harm him?
"I…" The Endless Spirit King wanted to concede, but it was already too late. The Holy Dragon Spear, gleaming with blue-gold radiance, had reached his chest.
