The demonized Immortal Emperor, despite expending all his immortal spiritual energy, possessed other means. He summoned forth an ancient divine pet from the void: the Starflare Dragon!
The dragon absorbed a significant portion of the immortal spiritual energy within him and transferred it to himself.
Just as Ming Zhi Tian stepped forward, he felt a stirring within. Suddenly, the long-hidden Heaven-Swallowing Beast, having absorbed sufficient nourishment, emerged from his mouth in a colossal form!
"I am the mount of the ancient Chi You, the Heaven-Swallower! Allow me to lend you a hand!"
Ming Zhi Tian mounted it, feeling as if divinely aided!
The demonized Immortal Emperor, riding the Starflare Dragon, raised the divine artifact, the Demonic Star Soul Heavenly Sword, and attacked!
"Black Text Art, Black is not Black! Ink is not Ink!"
Yuan Yi controlled the Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet and struck with a sword!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The demonized Immortal Emperor then swung his sword: "Demonic Square Spring Spattering Blood Lotus!"
The Demonic Star Soul Sword instantly turned red, and a burst of sword energy was unleashed!
The Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet again unleashed a swift sword strike!
Then, while it was distracted, the Starflare Dragon delivered a divine dragon's tail-sweep, instantly shattering the Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet's body.
Ming Zhi Tian, wielding the Mountain-Splitting Inkstone, struck first with a technique: "Blue Flower Sword Art!"
The demonized Immortal Emperor calmly unleashed his demonic sword: "Ink Flower Sword Art!"
"Bang!" Ming Zhi Tian was instantly blasted flying!
Yuan Yi: "Sect Master!"
The "Divine Chant Longevity Art" rapidly repaired his shattered flesh. He then bit his fingers and summoned ten Blood Demons, each at the peak of the Great Wheel King Realm, tenfold heavens, almost reaching the Void Floating Realm.
The Starflare Dragon's divine tail-sweep shattered two Blood Demons. Ming Zhi Tian knew that the demonized Immortal Emperor, due to his excessive use of the forbidden art of the Heavenly God's Puppet, was in a weakened state, possessing only one-third of the Heavenly God Realm's power.
In other words, the demonized Immortal Emperor's strength was merely above the Ultimate Realm, but below the Supreme Ultimate Realm.
Although Ming Zhi Tian was still in the Divine Emperor Realm, he had reached the thirty-fifth heaven, a prerequisite for entering the realm of gods!
He mounted the Heaven-Swallowing Beast and instantaneously arrived! He unleashed a series of sword techniques: "Shaking Mountain! Mourning Separation! Light Sharp! Dragon's Lean! Tattooed Swallow! Gazing Heaven!"
"Startled Swan Sword!"
"Overestimating your strength." The demonized Immortal Emperor struck with his demonic soul sword!
"Impact! ... Bang! ..."
Even the Startled Swan Sword was reduced to nothingness!
The demonized Immortal Emperor closed his eyes and then suddenly opened his divine eyes. The strain caused blood to seep from the corners of his eyes: "Hellfire!"
The supreme high-temperature hellfire, a fusion of the Ziwei Starfire and the Ultimate Prison Fire, instantly engulfed Ming Zhi Tian...!
"Not good!"
At the critical moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast absorbed and devoured the Hellfire for him!
Ming Zhi Tian patted its head: "Excellent, Heaven-Swallowing Beast, thank you."
Sensing its master's affection, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast nuzzled against him proudly and contentedly, responding to Ming Zhi Tian's head pat.
Suddenly, Ming Zhi Tian sensed an increasingly ominous premonition, originating from the Heavenly God's Puppet... "Could it be! He's going to summon it again?!"
He saw the demonized Immortal Emperor, like someone plucking a black eel, seize his mount, the Starflare Dragon, by the neck and absorb all its immortal spiritual energy.
"It's over! Damn it! Yuan Yi! Stop him!" Ming Zhi Tian shouted.
Yuan Yi hurriedly manipulated the Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet and instantly struck with a sword!
The demonized Immortal Emperor roared: "Scram!"
The Immortal Emperor's demonic soul roar emanated from his mouth, instantly dispersing the Sacred Divine Mechanical Puppet!
Just as he was about to summon the Heavenly God's Puppet again, and as the surging purple gaseous sacs began to dissolve and envelop the demonized Immortal Emperor, in the span of a millionth of a second!
Ming Zhi Tian awakened the ultimate divine skill of the Blood Demon!
He commanded forward: "Killing Blow!"
The remaining eight Blood Demons, encased in supreme immortal spiritual energy and starlight, surged with power. Their speed was so extreme that even the demonized Immortal Emperor's twin divine eyes could not discern their trajectory!
