Chapter 1180: Ascend to Heaven in One Step
In the next moment, his body astonishingly began to age at an incredible speed, his face instantly covered with wrinkles, with his entire body rapidly decaying, yet his eyes became particularly bright. Behind him, the light and shadow of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox flickered, becoming solid in an instant. The eyes of the Heavenly Fox and his eyes both turned exceptionally bright.
Tang San couldn't help but be slightly taken aback by his transformation at this time. He could clearly feel that the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's body was rapidly aging and dying, but his divine consciousness was dramatically rising. Not only his divine consciousness, but his power of luck was also skyrocketing, and in the distance, the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain that had just stabilized suddenly ignited with dazzling white flames, with the entire holy mountain ablaze.
Heart-wrenching screams echoed continuously from the direction of the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, as one Heavenly Fox after another was engulfed in the agonizing cries, turning into part of the holy mountain's white flames.
"Did you actually sacrifice the entire clan?" Tang San exclaimed in shock.
Yes, without him even having to do anything, at this very moment, it's unclear how the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox accomplished it, but all the members of the Heavenly Fox Clan in the Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain were set ablaze. It was the fire of luck, brought about by the burning of the entire Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain. The Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox's body gradually turned to ashes in the air; he was ruthless not only to his clansmen but also to himself.
With his body disappearing, in the sky, only the intensely glowing white light of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's silhouette remained.
The eyes of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox gradually turned blood red, "I prepared for all this long ago. Whether you are Tang San or Jin Miaolin, after you cross the tribulation to become an emperor, none of this will change. At first, I even considered, through marrying Jin Miaolin, to gradually absorb your clan's life force. But with your refusal of the marriage alliance, I had no other choice. My lifespan has actually long been exhausted, and the backlash from controlling luck has made my life force even more fragile than other emperors. Today, either I die, or I take over your body, reversing the situation."
In the next moment, the immense Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox transformed into a dazzling white light, shooting straight toward Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San understood all the actions of the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox. As he had said, today, whether it was Tang San or Jin Miaolin crossing the tribulation, even without his own stepping on the emperor ascending to heaven, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox would still seize the opportunity to possess his body, or Jin Miaolin's body.
The Crystal Great Demon Emperor chose rebirth when facing death, but this one was more ruthless, choosing to possess a potential emperor with the aid of luck's support. This would undoubtedly be much faster than the recovery of the Crystal Great Demon Emperor. And once he succeeded in possession, with his years of control over the Ancestral Court, it wouldn't take long for him to regain his peak, at which time, other emperors might not be able to stop him.
Of course, if he was still Jin Miaolin, the real Jin Miaolin, then today's possession wouldn't have required the sacrifice of the entire Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain. At this moment, to succeed in possession, even to replace Tang San in becoming a god, the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox had already sacrificed everything he could, mobilizing all the power he could. This ruthlessness was unparalleled by any other emperor, either success or total annihilation.
Just as the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox rushed towards Tang San, suddenly, it seemed as if the entire heaven and earth stood still.
One could clearly see the pouncing figure of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, even if it was just a light shadow, its fangs bared, its red eyes filled with malevolence. Countless white streams of light shot forth from the direction of Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain, injecting into the body of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox.
However, in that instant, everything stopped, as if time had been completely frozen. Even Tang San's body was frozen in place, motionless.
The clash between realms made the sky as dark as ink, yet now, the ink-black sky was also frozen, every cloud seemed immobilized, and all the oppressive forces were instantaneously halted. Everything, at this moment, seemed to cease operation, because that sublime figure raised the longsword in her hand.
Yes, Xiaowu raised the Asura God's Sword in her hand, just as the Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox sacrificed everything, transforming into the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox about to pounce on Tang San, she raised her divine sword.
The pitch-black sky silently cracked open in the next moment; this was the only change after frozen time.
A halo of blood red descended from the sky, seemingly soft and gentle in its fall, but in that instant, the entire sky appeared to be dyed red, as did the earth.
The entire realm quaked violently. That intense fear, in an instant, permeated every creature on the Demon Monster Land, and even reached into the hearts of all beings in the Endless Blue Ocean and the entire Falan Planet.
That was fear derived from the realm itself.
Xiaowu's red lips parted gently, as she softly said to the sky, "Could you be a bit quieter, please?"
In the next moment, the sky became instantly quiet, all darkness and oppressive force vanished without a trace.
In the distant horizon, a blood-red light hung suspended, with the sword point aimed downward, directing towards Falan Planet's surface.
Xiaowu's gaze shifted to the silhouette of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, her tone remained calm but carried an undeniable authority, "Execute!"
The red sword shadow flickered, in an instant, all who witnessed this scene felt a blood-red longsword manifest in their minds.
With just a flicker, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox was annihilated, without even a scream. Meanwhile, the countless streams of white, representing luck, rushed toward Tang San like a gale sweeping away leaves.
Xiaowu gazed at the red sword shadow in the sky and smiled softly, "Just wait for us a little bit longer, okay?"
The red in the high sky quietly faded away, in a flash, sunlight filled the clear sky, void of clouds.
All that was still recovered their original trajectories of movement, but at this moment, there was no longer a Great Demon Emperor Heavenly Fox, nor any more of the Heavenly Fox Clan.
With one sword, executed!
Tang San quietly absorbed the power of luck as it merged into himself, completing the final part of his elevation, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"You've arrived, here they all are!"
Xiaowu now stood beside him, holding his hand, "Yes, they've all arrived."
At this moment, a golden brilliance surged from within the Ancestral Court Council Mountain, simultaneously illuminating them. The golden light cast a golden hue over the entire Ancestral Court.
Crossing the tribulation to the third stage, stepping on the emperor ascending to heaven, completed.
All emperors were defeated, Tang San and Xiaowu ascended in a single leap.
Achieving stepping on the emperor ascending to heaven equated to having command over the will of the entire Ancestral Court. Across the Demon Monster Land, countless pale golden light points, mixed with blue light points drifting from the Endless Blue Ocean, merged into their bodies.
This was the power of faith belonging to the Demon Monster Land, and with the completion of stepping on the emperor ascending to heaven, this power of faith also now belonged to them.
Tang San held Xiaowu's hand, looking at the remaining emperors of the Ancestral Court.
At this moment, the only remaining emperors were Liuli Heavenly Spirit Emperor, Undying Great Demon Emperor, White Tiger Great Demon King, Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, and Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.
Five emperors, plus Light Dragon King Xu Anyu, the Quasi Emperor.
Tang San beckoned to the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and White Tiger Great Demon King, saying, "Since the two of you have decided to accompany us, come now."
The White Tiger Great Demon King and Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor exchanged a glance, jointly nodded, soared into the air, and flew towards Tang San.
