Chapter 859: Chapter 405: The Immortal Emperors of the Past_2
Lu Yi even felt quite a few gazes from Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors. Their expressions flashed with complex emotions.
Lu Yi exhaled slightly, squinting as he looked at all the cultivators around him.
The next moment, an Immortal Emperor enveloped in radiant flames came to his senses and spoke: “Block these Demon Gods!”
As he spoke, five Immortal Emperors simultaneously retracted their gazes and looked at their opponents, their breaths surging, alert and watchful.
The Immortal Kings too returned to their senses, most looking at their opponents, with a few still casting glances towards the Chaos Qi in the sky from time to time.
At the same time, nearly all the Jiuyou Demons and Jiuyou Cultivators went mad, roaring and howling, charging at Lu Yi.
They aimed to devour Lu Yi entirely, along with the Chaos Qi surrounding him.
Immmortal Emperors and Immortal Kings made their moves as well, doing their utmost to block their opponents.
However, despite this effort, quite a few Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors broke through the blockade and charged toward Lu Yi.
After all, the number of Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors among the Jiuyou Demons exceeded that of the real universe significantly; merely relying on the remaining Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, they simply can’t stop so many powerful beings.
Six Jiuyou Demon Gods and a large number of Jiuyou Immortal Kings broke through the blockade, along with a humanoid Jiuyou Demon God originally opposing Lu Yi, so many powerful beings, causing Lu Yi’s expression to gradually grow serious.
Even though he had mastered a Tao Treasure close to Chaos Treasure, facing so many Jiuyou powerhouses, he still found it difficult to remain indifferent.
He shouted deeply, the Immortal Flame Emperor Bell trembled, spurting out clusters of crimson golden flames, transforming into fireballs like constant stars, rushing at the Jiuyou Demons.
The intense heat surged — if not for the Chaos Qi enveloping the surroundings, the Different Space would have been burned to ashes by now, and even the Sky Falling Star Domain would be thoroughly reduced to ashes in an instant.
At that time, all the people and things Lu Yi cares about would vanish.
Faced with such powerful attacks, the Jiuyou Demon Gods also showed heavy expressions, roaring and unleashing their most powerful forces to resist or dodge the fireballs akin to constant stars.
Even so, stars still pierced through the blockade, landing amidst the Jiuyou Immortal Kings.
No screams, no cries; the Jiuyou Immortal Kings engulfed by crimson golden flames instantly turned into the purest form of Jiuyou Qi, and then even the Jiuyou Qi evaporated under the crimson golden flames.
In an instant, a large batch of Jiuyou Immortal Kings perished.
However, the constant stars were unable to substantially harm the Jiuyou Demon Gods; after resisting or evading the attacks, the Jiuyou Demon Gods approached Lu Yi again, with the humanoid Jiuyou Demon God being the closest. Tentacles surged around him, transforming into terrifying black holes, intending to tear Lu Yi into pieces.
Lu Yi’s body flickered with Origin Power, isolating the suction outside, once again urging the Immortal Flame Emperor Bell, flames burned on the humanoid Jiuyou Demon God’s tentacles, as the tentacles danced, the black holes dissipated, mouths opened on the tentacles, emitting piercing screams.
After repelling the humanoid Jiuyou Demon God, Lu Yi glanced at the other nearby Jiuyou Demon Gods, urging the Immortal Flame Emperor Bell again to repel them similarly.
Even so, clusters of Jiuyou Qi still penetrated the blockade, landing on Lu Yi.
The Immortal Emperor Level attack sent Lu Yi flying backward, his body cracking, blood flowing.
But the next moment, strands of green light ignited on him, rapidly healing his wounds.
Then, Lu Yi’s voice echoed in the minds of all the Immortal Emperors.
“Esteemed seniors, if I give you a strand of Chaos Qi, can you enhance your power somewhat?
Under such massive pressure from the Jiuyou Demon Gods, Lu Yi understood that relying only on the freshly attained Immortal King Realm, he could merely hold on without defeat, defeating these Jiuyou Demon Gods was utterly impossible.
And his Taoist Energy isn’t infinite; even though he’s now fused with all his Taoist Energy and even a wisp of Chaos Qi, reaching an extremely fearsome level of recovery ability.
Yet, using the Immortal Flame Emperor Bell consumes significant power — even he can’t manage to fight continuously without consumption.
According to the current rate of consumption, at most he could engage in fierce battles for decades before his power runs out.
By then, he might have the will to counterattack but not the strength.
Therefore, Lu Yi could only turn to other Immortal Emperors.
If other Immortal Emperors could hold off these Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, giving him some time, he could use the special trait of Chaos Qi to isolate himself, bolstering himself as much as possible — after reaching Immortal King Realm, his reward was accelerated fusion with Chaos Qi.
In mere years since his breakthrough, the fusion progress of Chaos Qi in his body exceeded the time span of tens of thousands of years prior.
And as long as he’s given a few decades, even if he can’t break through the realm, by fusing more Chaos Qi, he could have the power to fight these Jiuyou Demon Gods.
But this relies on time.
Lu Yi could only seek assistance from these Immortal Emperors.
Although this was Lu Yi’s first meeting with these Immortal Emperors, judging from their willingness to enter the Jiuyou World, disregarding their safety to resist Jiuyou Demons, and from their quick recovery upon seeing the Inner Universe formed by Chaos Qi, they should choose to help Lu Yi delay.
Besides, offering Chaos Qi would be a dream come true for these Immortal Emperors.
Lu Yi’s sole uncertainty was whether these remaining Immortal Emperors could withstand so many Jiuyou Demon Gods, along with two Jiuyou-turned Immortal Emperors!
If they couldn’t, then no matter how powerful Chaos Qi is, he was ultimately merely at the Immortal King Realm; while the Inner Universe could withstand the aftermath of battles, it certainly couldn’t endure such massive assault from numerous Jiuyou powerhouses; by then, they might break into the Inner Universe, enter the real universe, and even attempt to consume the Chaos Qi within the Inner Universe!
This was something Lu Yi absolutely could not accept.
Hearing Lu Yi’s voice, all the Immortal Emperors were shocked, yet their combat actions didn’t cease, continuously defending against attacks.
They responded in their hearts.
“With Chaos Qi, our power could be further enhanced. While I can’t ascertain whether we can withstand so many Jiuyou Demon Gods and those two traitors, the situation would surely be an improvement over now!”
“We can give it a try!”
“What are you planning to do?” The Jiuyou Immortal King — no, now already Jiuyou Immortal Emperor countered in his heart.
Lu Yi exhaled, once again using the Immortal Flame Emperor Bell to repel incoming Jiuyou Demon Gods, speaking in their minds: “Give me fifty years, I need some time!”
“Fifty years?!”
The voices in the hearts of all the Immortal Emperors echoed with surprise.
They couldn’t envision what could be achieved in fifty years.
For an Immortal Emperor, even a nap exceeds fifty years — such a time frame is too brief.
Nevertheless, facing Lu Yi with so much Chaos Qi, they chose to trust him.
Fate Immortal Emperor chuckled lightly, speaking: “Indeed worthy of being the savior, possessing such abundant Chaos Qi, truly envying… even though I don’t know what you plan, we can give it a try!”
“Holding off these Jiuyou Demon Gods could earn us a strand of Chaos Qi; for us, it’s a gain, hahaha!” An Immortal Emperor as tall as a mountain laughed in their hearts.
“After all, seeking to transcend this Tao World, Chaos Qi is indispensable. Count me in.”
Other Immortal Emperors also expressed agreement one after another.
Lu Yi exhaled lightly, while repelling Jiuyou Demon Gods, controlling the Chaos Qi of the Inner Universe to divide into five strands.
These strands of Chaos Qi merged into the space, eventually entering the bodies of the Immortal Emperors.
The Immortal Emperors, sensing the Chaos Qi within them — differing from yet superior to Taoist Energy — flashed a joyful look in their eyes.
While fighting, they embraced and digested the Chaos Qi, beginning preliminary use of the power of Chaos Qi.
As Immortal Emperors, they achieved the Immortal Emperor level in Ancient Times, reaching the peak of Tao World over billions of years, unable to advance, their path blocked without Chaos Qi.
Now, that path had a glimmer of opening.
Their power took a small step beyond the limit.
Sensing the Chaos Qi transmitted from the Immortal Emperors’ bodies, all Jiuyou Demon Gods and the two Jiuyou Immortal Emperors were stunned.
Then they all turned their attention to them, even those Jiuyou Demon Gods intending to attack Lu Yi were no exception!
