Chapter 568: How to Kill an Immortal Emperor

“Stinky brat, what if you do have two supreme immortal artifacts? I don’t believe we can’t kill you when there are so many of us! Everyone, attack together and take him down—kill him!” After escaping from the Sacred Mountain of Demons, Ao Hong had gathered a large number of demonic beasts. He had collected everyone’s magical treasures and stored them on his person, just in case something like this happened.

He instantly activated more than thirty protective magical artifacts, forming a visible light shield around his body.

He also possessed dozens of supreme immortal artifacts and various magical treasures.

Actually, Ao Hong had figured out that Shui Miao’s cultivation wasn’t particularly strong; he merely relied on a few supreme immortal artifacts.

Now, in this open area, he had helpers, magical treasures, and had consumed many pills to restore half his cultivation power. He firmly believed that under these circumstances, he could definitely defeat Shui Miao.

Indeed, Ao Hong’s subordinates were all powerful.

The army of hundreds of thousands of demonic beasts that attacked the Sacred Mountain of Demons had not suffered many losses. Most of the demonic beasts Ao Hong kept around him were experts at the Immortal Emperor and Immortal Sage levels, representing the absolute main force of the demonic beast race.

“…”

The demonic beasts didn’t move. They looked at each other, apparently somewhat apprehensive.

They couldn’t detect the power level of the person in front of them. Moreover, this person had actually forced Ao Hong to retreat several steps, indicating that he was definitely no ordinary person.

This proved that the demonic beasts weren’t all just mindless fighters.

Moreover, Ao Hong himself had said that Shui Miao possessed two supreme immortal artifacts. Everyone knew the tremendous power of supreme immortal artifacts. Who would be foolish enough to risk their head against such artifacts?

Now, all the better immortal artifacts everyone had were taken by Ao Hong.

With bare hands, what could they possibly use to fight?

Therefore, the demonic beasts didn’t act rashly.

Shui Miao, clever and quick-witted, immediately saw through their thoughts and coldly laughed aloud, “What a mighty Immortal Emperor, the leader of the demonic beasts, seeing me, you actually retreat backward, collecting everyone’s treasures to save yourself while letting unarmed people sacrifice their lives to protect you. You’re truly unprecedented and unparalleled among Immortal Emperors. I know that the demonic beasts value honor, fear no death, and are noble creatures, but today you Ao Hong have disgraced your entire race. Even an outsider like me feels ashamed for you. What qualifies you to lead others? You selfish, self-centered pitiful worm, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one.”

Shui Miao’s words exuded complete dominance and heroism.

In contrast, Ao Hong appeared despicable and contemptible.

Indeed, Shui Miao’s words resonated with the demonic beasts, and they scattered to allow Ao Hong and Shui Miao to fight one-on-one.

“Stupid brat, what do you think you are? You’re just relying on a few supreme immortal artifacts, right? I was just caught off guard by your sneak attack before. Now you dare to boast here and challenge me to a duel. You’re really asking for death!” Ao Hong had no way back now. He fully activated his Emperor Qi, ready to attack Shui Miao at any moment.

Ao Hong seemed to have a clumsy mouth indeed! Shui Miao coldly laughed again, “So what if I have supreme immortal artifacts? I crafted them myself. What about you? You’re still an Immortal Emperor. What is an Immortal Emperor? It’s a supreme existence that can command subordinates and dominate the nine heavens. Yet you act like a pitiful worm, even despicably wanting to dual cultivate with He’er. I’m truly ashamed for you. Are you even worthy to speak to me, you third-rate villainous little dragon?”

Shui Miao suddenly realized that his verbal skills were also quite sharp!

“You, you, you’re really asking for death!”

Ao Hong, furious, immediately activated five flying swords to assassinate Shui Miao.

“Despicable! A mighty Immortal Emperor still resorts to a sneak attack!”

Shui Miao never missed an opportunity to mock and belittle Ao Hong. At the same time, he activated the Time Crystal Ball, his figure flickering to dodge the swords and arriving at Ao Hong’s side. Immediately, he launched the Fire Dragon Bomb, instantly destroying several protective magical artifacts on Ao Hong’s body. Before Ao Hong could fully react, Shui Miao swung his Demon’s Head Cleaver in a furious slash, cutting Ao Hong’s clothes into tatters, leaving him in a pitiful state.

“Haha! You also dare to call yourself the leader of the demonic beasts?” Shui Miao loudly laughed, returning to his original position and grabbing the five flying swords, throwing them toward the demonic beasts, “Whose immortal artifacts are these? Why don’t you take them back now?”

Influenced by Shui Miao, the demonic beasts rushed to reclaim their magical treasures.

Without waiting for Ao Hong to speak, Shui Miao activated the Time Crystal Ball again, launching another Fire Dragon Bomb at Ao Hong and another fierce attack!

Ao Hong’s protective magical artifacts were destroyed again.

Shui Miao’s Demon’s Head Cleaver slashed again, damaging several more protective magical artifacts.

※※※

Although Ao Hong had protective magical artifacts and several supreme immortal artifacts, he was utterly overwhelmed by Shui Miao, unable to mount any resistance.

Shui Miao’s speed was extremely fast. The demonic beasts watching were filled with dread, and He’er was also stunned.

Moreover, Shui Miao’s lightning attacks combined with the Demon’s Head Cleaver slashes were perfectly executed. With both magical and physical attacks, how could they possibly resist when their artifacts were inferior to Shui Miao’s?

Even more terrifying was that while Shui Miao launched a relentless assault on Ao Hong, he also waged a psychological battle, manipulating everyone’s thoughts. He successfully isolated Ao Hong from the demonic beasts, making them despise him and unwilling to associate with him. They all wanted to reclaim their magical treasures, without even considering helping him.

“Damn it!”

“Shui Miao, I’ll remember this humiliation today. I’ll come back for you! Then it will be your doom!”

In desperation, Ao Hong decided to flee while his last protective magical artifact hadn’t been destroyed yet. If he didn’t escape now, he might never get another chance.

Immediately, Ao Hong began to channel his magical power to prepare to use the Body Vanishing Technique.

“Want to escape? Not so easily!”

Thinking quickly, Shui Miao immediately increased his attack speed, pushing his speed to the limit.

“Shui Miao, let me help you…”

Suddenly, He’er spoke up.

He’er fully activated her spiritual power, infiltrating Ao Hong’s mind to block his escape.

“Ao Hong, return my supreme immortal artifact!”

“And my protective magical treasure…”

“He’s a disgrace to our demonic beast race. Stop him and kill him!”

Several demonic beasts at the Immortal Sage level, seeing Ao Hong’s imminent defeat, actually came to attack him.

Poor Ao Hong had fallen into such a state!

“Boom!”

Under the Fire Dragon Bomb attack, Ao Hong’s last magical artifact was also destroyed.

His thoughts were interrupted by He’er, and he couldn’t activate the Body Vanishing Technique.

If he were attacked by the Fire Dragon Bomb again, his magical power would become numb, unable to be activated, leading to a vicious cycle, ultimately being worn down to death by Shui Miao.

“I’ll fight you all to the death!”

In desperation, to escape before Shui Miao could launch another Fire Dragon Bomb, Ao Hong’s mind flashed, relying on his strong immortal body, suddenly detonating several supreme immortal artifacts around him!

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“…”

The super shockwave from the self-destructing immortal artifacts spread across the sky, instantly blasting everyone away.

Several weaker demonic beasts were killed instantly.

Shui Miao had a supreme protective magical pearl and wasn’t afraid at all, merely being blown dozens of meters away.

After successfully attacking, Ao Hong, seeing everyone severely injured, didn’t immediately flee but instead flew toward He’er, who had also been blasted away.

He wanted to capture He’er and force her into dual cultivation to enhance his cultivation!

“Boom!”

He’er had a spatial magical artifact. Seeing Ao Hong flying toward her and inspired by his earlier self-destruction of immortal artifacts, she also detonated her spatial magical artifact.

The explosion of a spatial magical artifact had very average power.

However, precisely because of this explosion, Ao Hong’s timing was disrupted.

“Ao Hong, I gave you a chance to escape, but now you’re definitely doomed!”

Shui Miao had already returned, launching the Fire Dragon Bomb. A dragon’s roar sounded, accurately hitting Ao Hong’s head!

Ao Hong’s heart sank. He was done for!

“Everyone, attack!”

“Kill the Immortal Emperor and obtain his essence, which will greatly benefit our cultivation.”

“This opportunity is once in a thousand years. If we miss it, we’ll regret it for the rest of our lives.”

After successfully attacking, Shui Miao worried that Ao Hong might self-destruct and harm He’er. Instead, he retreated, hugging He’er’s waist and directly teleporting her into the Time Tower, while he himself flew to the side.

“Shui Miao, where is this place? What are you doing?”

Suddenly entering the Time Tower, He’er was a bit confused.

Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and her voice echoed inside the Time Tower, “This is inside one of my magical artifacts. This Ao Hong might resort to mutual destruction and self-destruct his demonic body, so it’s better for you to hide here.”

In this situation, she was still considering my safety?

Learning that Shui Miao did this to protect her, He’er felt a warm sweetness in her heart, feeling very warm and happy.

“Oh, Shui Miao, since Ao Hong is almost done for, why do you still let the demonic beasts deal with him? Remember, an Immortal Emperor’s demonic body is a priceless treasure.” He’er’s thoughts turned, and she quickly asked.

“Ao Hong’s demonic body is comparable to a supreme immortal artifact. To kill him, with my current strength and magical treasures, it’s simply impossible. I can only temporarily trap him.” Shui Miao watched the demonic beasts attacking Ao Hong from afar, suddenly her mind turned, and the furnace inside the Time Tower automatically started smelting the Nuwa Stone, “Under these circumstances, I have only one last method to try.”

“What? What method?” He’er quickly asked.

“You’ll know when the time comes.”

Watching Ao Hong being beaten pitifully by the demonic beasts, Shui Miao secretly thought, “I’ll use the Nuwa Stone to forge an immortal artifact, even a very fine sewing needle will do. Then I’ll use Ao Hong’s blood to temper it, perhaps I can forge a supreme magical treasure. Then, I’m sure I can kill Ao Hong.”

The Nuwa Stone was difficult to smelt, requiring a long time to produce a small amount of material.

However, forging a needle from this small amount of material was still possible.

But, inscribing a formation inside a needle was an extremely difficult task.
