The war of the God Emperors had indeed begun.
Four God Emperors were engaged with six Fallen God Emperors, leaving the remaining two Fallen God Emperors to Jiang Yiqing. After all, with the power of Yun Fan bolstering her, Jiang Yiqing had reached her peak state, and she was not afraid of facing two opponents alone, especially with her Ethereal Body.
However, this meant they wouldn't be able to eliminate the Fallen God Emperors, as their numbers far exceeded their expectations. During this time, Yun Fan was not idle; he had left behind dozens of power reserves, enough to supplement the God Emperors. He could have gone to kill the Fallen God Kings, but he knew that to turn the tide, they needed to eliminate the Fallen God Emperors. The pressure he faced was immense.
Ultimately, he chose to confront one Fallen God Emperor, allowing Jiang Yiqing to secure a kill. A God King facing a God Emperor was not on the same level, and the risk of annihilation was ever-present. Even Yun Fan might not have been able to withstand such a risk, so he proceeded with extreme caution. His sole objective was to shift the momentum of the battle, not to sacrifice himself. Yet, the situation forced him to face a God Emperor.
As expected, after he drew away one Fallen God Emperor, the pressure on Jiang Yiqing lessened. What had been a fierce stalemate now saw Jiang Yiqing gaining a decisive advantage. The Fallen God Emperor never anticipated that a regular God Emperor could suppress him. He directed intense killing intent towards Jiang Yiqing, but she unleashed her full power, unleashing wave after wave of Creation Force. It was as if she had an endless supply.
After enduring three more rounds, the Fallen God Emperor could no longer hold on. Jiang Yiqing's peak power had begun to wane, but with a constant influx of power bolstering her, she fought without restraint. With her Ethereal Body activated and enhanced by Yun Fan's strengthened power, she finally killed the Fallen God Emperor on her fifth strike.
At this point, only seven of the eight Fallen God Emperors remained. Knowing Yun Fan's intentions, Jiang Yiqing rushed to assist him after dispatching the Fallen God Emperor.
"Boy, where did you get the audacity to fight me! A mere God King is like an ant before me!" he sneered, looking at Yun Fan. He and his companion had been fighting Jiang Yiqing, but Yun Fan, this foolhardy kid, a mere God King, had dared to join their battle. Thus, he had split off to kill Yun Fan.
Under his relentless attacks, Yun Fan was forced to retreat. Indeed, a God King was still a God King. Even if invincible among their peers, they couldn't defeat those of a higher realm. After all, God King and God Emperor were two distinct thresholds. No matter how prodigious Yun Fan was, he couldn't withstand even a single blow from a God Emperor.
*Bang!*
Another strike landed, hitting Yun Fan.
"Pfft!"
Yun Fan spat out a mouthful of blood. This blow had inflicted severe damage, leaving him with no power to retaliate. All that awaited him was death. Just as he was about to succumb, the Fallen God Emperor appeared before him.
"It's over!" he declared, gathering his power to end Yun Fan's life.
But Yun Fan declared, "You are the one who will end, not I!"
"What makes you think you can end me?" The Fallen God Emperor sneered, seeing Yun Fan as nothing more than a braggart.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, a force struck him from behind.
"Ah!" he screamed, looking at Jiang Yiqing in disbelief. "Where is my companion?" he asked, stunned, looking at Jiang Yiqing. By all rights, his companion should have been suppressing Jiang Yiqing, making it impossible for her to support Yun Fan.
Jiang Yiqing declared majestically, "Your companion has met his end. Now it's your turn!"
"I don't believe it!" He looked at Jiang Yiqing, refusing to believe her.
But Jiang Yiqing wasted no more words. She unleashed her Ethereal Body and struck again and again. Her moves were simple yet effective, not flashy, but they had led to the demise of several Fallen God Emperors. The Fallen God Emperor finally understood Jiang Yiqing's might and desperately turned to flee. However, Jiang Yiqing gave him no chance. After six consecutive strikes, this Fallen God Emperor also met his end.
Having eliminated two Fallen God Emperors, Jiang Yiqing asked Yun Fan with concern, "Little man, are you alright!"
"I'm fine!" Yun Fan replied. Although injured, he was not susceptible to the corruption, so his condition was not dire.
Yun Fan then remarked, "You're too fierce, taking down two more Fallen God Emperors!" He genuinely admired Jiang Yiqing. Pushing his power to its absolute limit, her achievements were unparalleled.
Jiang Yiqing smiled and said, "Of course. With me backing you, you can rest assured!"
"Okay!" Yun Fan felt relieved to be in a supportive role, knowing that with a powerful protector, he had nothing to fear.
Jiang Yiqing then declared, "From today on, I am your first wife!"
"That's not a problem!" Yun Fan said with a troubled expression, "But you'll have to get the others to agree!" He made a verbal promise to Jiang Yiqing, but whether it would be accepted was beyond his control.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiqing became troubled. The others might agree, but Xiao Xiang certainly wouldn't. After all, Xiao Xiang was her aunt, and if she dared to declare herself Yun Fan's primary wife, Xiao Xiang would be the first to punish her.
Therefore, Jiang Yiqing insisted, "I want you to announce it personally!"
"That's not a good idea!" Yun Fan replied, "If I announce it, they'll think I favor you, and it will affect our relationships!"
"I don't care. As long as you announce it, my aunt will surely agree!" Jiang Yiqing said stubbornly. While she couldn't announce it herself, she could make Yun Fan do it. Her aunt might be able to bully her, but could she bully Yun Fan? As her strength grew, she became more confident. Previously, she hadn't even dared to acknowledge being Yun Fan's mistress. Now, she wanted to be his main wife, and it was clear she was getting carried away.
Yun Fan was unwilling to announce it himself. He told Jiang Yiqing, "This ranking should be earned. I'm in a difficult position!"
"Regardless, you have to announce it yourself, or I'll deal with you!" Jiang Yiqing threatened. Yun Fan knew that outside of the bedroom, he was no match for Jiang Yiqing in any regard. If she were to "deal with him" privately, it wouldn't be pleasant.
Therefore, he quickly said to Jiang Yiqing, "How about this! Let's discuss it after this battle!"
"You promised!" Jiang Yiqing then rushed to support the four God Emperors. Upon arriving, she found the four God Emperors in a precarious situation. Although their inherent strength was slightly greater than hers, especially Chu Tianfei, who was at least two levels higher, they couldn't fully utilize Yun Fan's power and thus held no advantage. Consequently, they were being suppressed by the six Fallen God Emperors. However, even under pressure, they wouldn't be defeated outright, as they had received Yun Fan's upgraded power.
The six Fallen God Emperors were surprised by Jiang Yiqing's timely arrival. Where were their two companions? They simply couldn't believe that Jiang Yiqing had killed both of them. It was impossible.
"Junior Sister!" Chu Tianfei said, "We'll hold off five, you take one!"
"Alright!" Jiang Yiqing nodded. Then, the four of them unleashed their full power, holding off five Fallen God Emperors while Jiang Yiqing targeted the weakest among them. With her power at its peak, another Fallen God Emperor fell to her might.
Witnessing Jiang Yiqing's incredible prowess, the remaining five Fallen God Emperors stood stunned. They had never imagined that a regular God Emperor could defeat a Fallen God Emperor. At this moment, they realized this was no simple matter. Their two companions who hadn't arrived for support were likely dead. Understanding the severity of the situation, the five Fallen God Emperors unified their objective: to eliminate Jiang Yiqing. They couldn't allow such a dangerous individual, capable of killing Fallen God Emperors, to live.
The four on their side wouldn't let this happen, and the orderly battle devolved into chaos. In the melee, Jiang Yiqing drew a significant amount of attention, preventing her from killing any more Fallen God Emperors. Instead, she sustained injuries. Fortunately, the remaining four God Emperors were formidable. With their coordination, the Myriad Dragon God Emperor achieved the most brilliant feat, slaying another Fallen God Emperor. He was the second person, after Jiang Yiqing, to kill a Fallen God Emperor, a feat that left the others envious, especially Chu Tianfei, who was supposed to be the foremost God Emperor. However, it couldn't be entirely blamed on him, as the Myriad Dragon God Emperor's kill was facilitated by their cooperation and support.
The remaining four Fallen God Emperors began to question their fate. They had unleashed eight Fallen God Emperors, a force powerful enough to annihilate several Immortal Lands. Yet, they had suffered setbacks, losing four companions. In such a disadvantageous position, the four God Emperors ultimately chose to retreat. The Taiqing Immortal Land did not pursue them, as they too had expended much of their strength. Their objective had been achieved.
This battle significantly boosted the morale of the Taiqing Immortal Land. They had won despite a seemingly insurmountable disparity in power. Of course, everyone knew that Yun Fan was the primary contributor. Following him was Jiang Yiqing, and the quartet also played a crucial role, though their contributions paled in comparison to Yun Fan and Jiang Yiqing. Yun Fan was credited with the greatest contribution because he possessed the absolute power to fight against the Fallen. Without his support, the Taiqing Immortal Land and even the Great Chu Immortal Land would have faced a desperate catastrophe. Therefore, despite not being a God Emperor, Yun Fan was the greatest hero, a fact no one disputed.
The Taiqing Immortal Land believed that with the Fallen retreating, they would not face another invasion for a considerable period, perhaps even an epoch. After all, the Fallen had suffered significant losses, nearly half their forces. Even the Fallen couldn't afford such a loss. However, less than a month later, the Fallen launched another attack.
"This time, the crisis shouldn't be as great!" Yun Fan declared with conviction.
"It's hard to say," the Sitting Forget God Emperor replied. "The Fallen have endless experts. The Myriad Ancient Continent has been shattered for so many epochs; who knows how many powerhouses have joined the Fallen or been directly converted!"
His words made everyone remain vigilant. The Fallen dared to attack again, and they must have had a reason. Thus, they decided to assess the situation first. Upon arriving outside the Taiqing Immortal Land, everyone's expression changed. Last time, the Fallen had lost four Fallen God Emperors, with only four escaping. Yet, upon their return, they had six Fallen God Emperors. This meant that in just one month, they had managed to gather two more Fallen God Emperors. This was undoubtedly a difficult trial, and they hadn't anticipated that the Fallen would regain an advantage.
Of course, six Fallen God Emperors alone shouldn't be an advantage if they cooperated well. After all, they had five people. However, at this moment, the leading Fallen God Emperor, who was orchestrating the overall strategy, approached alone.
"Does he want to die?" the Myriad Dragon God Emperor said displeasantly.
"If he wants to die, we'll oblige him!" The Light God Emperor and Chu Tianfei were also eager to fight.
However, at that moment, the Fallen God Emperor stopped and asked the five, "Who is the spokesperson here?"
Jiang Yiqing stepped forward. "We have no spokesperson here. What do you want to say?"
The Fallen God Emperor introduced himself, "My name is Xie Jun. I am the commander of the Fallen. I have come to propose a different kind of combat for you and the Taiqing Immortal Land!"
"We refuse!" the Light God Emperor said coldly. "You are not qualified. If you insist, all six of you can attack our five."
"Exactly!" Chu Tianfei added, "As the defeated party, you have no right to dictate terms. We are not people who fear conflict!"
Xie Jun's eyes turned cold. "Everyone, don't be so confident. You will agree." With that, he gave a command, and the entire Fallen army advanced. Besides the six Fallen God Emperors, there were dozens of Fallen God Kings and over a hundred Fallen Battle Gods!
"So many?" The Sky Battle God beside Yun Fan exclaimed in shock. The combined peak powerhouses of the Great Chu Immortal Land and the Taiqing Immortal Land were less than half of the enemy's force, closer to one-third. Such a lineup was truly luxurious, but for the Taiqing Immortal Land, it posed a tremendous challenge.
"What now?" Xie Jun continued.
"Numbers alone are not decisive," the Sitting Forget God Emperor scoffed. "The outcome of the battlefield is determined by the clash of God Emperors, not by sheer numbers!" Even if the enemy had more soldiers, they wouldn't be afraid; their concern was the number of Fallen God Emperors. The others wouldn't have much of an impact.
However, Xie Jun seemed prepared. He said, "How about I show you another mirror?" With that, he opened a mirror, revealing over ten slumbering Fallen God Emperors.
"Hiss!" Yun Fan and the others gasped. The Fallen race had an excessive number of God Emperors. If these ten God Emperors were to awaken, coupled with the six Fallen God Emperors, the Taiqing Immortal Land would have no chance of winning. The five God Emperors also frowned. Although they were certain these ten Fallen God Emperors would not awaken at present, otherwise, they would have already intervened, this was an unstable factor. It meant that the Fallen race's resources were far greater than they had imagined. Therefore, the five God Emperors were in a somber mood.
"How do you want to play?" the Sitting Forget God Emperor asked coldly.
Xie Jun sneered, "It's simple. A war solely among our peak powerhouses would be too monotonous. How about you select three God Kings, and we select three God Kings, and let them fight fairly?"
"That's it?" Chu Tianfei asked incredulously.
Xie Jun replied, "It's that simple. However, the selection will be made by a roulette wheel. Whomever the beam of light from the roulette wheel shines upon will be the one to fight!" This was Xie Jun's demand.
"Agreed, no problem!" The five God Emperors consented. They believed that the allied God Kings, bolstered by Yun Fan's power, might not be able to defeat their opponents, but they wouldn't be defeated either. Thus, they felt they had the advantage.
The game then began. The roulette wheel spun, and the beam of light landed on a God King near Yun Fan. This God King was Wu Ji Tai Yuan. His innate strength had already reached the pinnacle of God Kings, and with Yun Fan's power, he was very confident. Wu Ji Tai Yuan had a past grievance with Yun Fan. The woman he liked, Yao Xin, was taken by Yun Fan before he could even pursue her, which greatly angered Wu Ji Tai Yuan. He had tried to deal with Yun Fan multiple times, but Yun Fan's aura was too overwhelming. Shortly after arriving at the Taiqing Immortal Land, he became a favored individual among the God Emperors, and he had many God King friends. Thus, he had to temporarily abandon his plans, believing he would have future opportunities. However, Yun Fan's progress was meteoric, his status rising steadily. Though not a God Emperor, his standing was comparable to that of a God Emperor. Even in the eyes of the five God Emperors, Yun Fan was more important than they were. Thus, he had to give up on dealing with Yun Fan, as Yun Fan's strength had reached the God King level, and with so many God Emperors protecting him, any attempt to harm Yun Fan would be suicidal. He had previously approached the Light God Emperor, hoping to marry his daughter, but was instead thoroughly humiliated. The Light God Emperor's intention was clear: his daughter was destined to marry a rising star like Yun Fan, and Wu Ji Tai Yuan was not worthy of his daughter. From then on, Wu Ji Tai Yuan was utterly disheartened. Unexpectedly, fate had chosen him this time, and for Wu Ji Tai Yuan, this was a golden opportunity to prove himself. He was determined to impress Yao Xin and show her that besides his extraordinary power, Yun Fan was far inferior to him in other aspects.
However, he was destined to be disappointed, as Yao Xin did not even glance at him throughout the entire event. The roulette wheel then turned to the Fallen army and selected a one-handed Fallen God King.
"One-Handed God King!" Many people in the Taiqing Immortal Land exclaimed.
"What's his impressive background?" Yun Fan asked, curious. For a God King to be so famous was a great success.
"His background is not simple. He achieved fame at a young age and had already reached the True Martial realm before the Myriad Ancients. However, due to his valiant and pugnacious nature, he challenged the Son of the Savior and was defeated. The Son of the Savior severed one of his hands. It was believed he had died long ago in the Myriad Ancients, but unexpectedly, he became a God King of the Fallen! Unfortunately, his eyes are empty, and he has become a puppet!" the Endless God King explained to Yun Fan. Yun Fan immediately understood. The One-Handed God King was merely an epithet given by outsiders; his true name had ceased to matter from the moment he joined the Fallen. Seeing that his opponent was a one-handed God King, Wu Ji Tai Yuan smiled playfully. It seemed this victory was a gift from heaven. How could he pass up such an excellent opportunity? He leaped onto the stage transformed from a divine artifact, facing the One-Handed God King, and attacked impatiently. In his mind, only an instant kill could make him famous; he wanted to be the brightest star on the field.
"Die!" Wu Ji Tai Yuan unleashed his strongest power, which was the power given to him by Yun Fan. However, he was dumbfounded. On the divine artifact stage, he could only use his original strength. Yun Fan's power seemed to be sealed by the artifact and could not be utilized.
*Whoosh!*
Instantly, the One-Handed God King's strike split Wu Ji Tai Yuan in half.
"How is this possible?" Wu Ji Tai Yuan, though unwilling, knew that his fate was sealed and died with regret!
"What?" Everyone gasped. Who could have imagined such a brutal outcome? Wu Ji Tai Yuan was instantly killed.
"What's going on?" The five God Emperors looked astonished. Wu Ji Tai Yuan had Yun Fan's power! Even at his worst, he shouldn't have been instantly killed.
"No, this divine artifact is very special. Standing on it, one cannot borrow external power, only their intrinsic power!" Chu Tianfei, with his vast knowledge, saw through the truth.
"What?" Everyone gasped. So that was the reason.
"You cheated!" Jiang Yiqing furiously cursed.
But Xie Jun replied, "Letting them use their intrinsic power is the fairest way, is it not? How can you call it cheating?"
"You..." The Taiqing Immortal Land was beside themselves with anger. All their motivation and confidence stemmed from Yun Fan's power. Without it, how could they fight? They might as well surrender. Losing Yun Fan's power, they were no match for the powerful Fallen. Not only God Kings, but even God Emperors couldn't defeat Fallen God Emperors of the same level. This had turned out to be a conspiracy.
However, before they could recover, the roulette wheel spun again. This time, it landed on a God King near Yun Fan. This God King was not from the Taiqing Immortal Land but from the Great Chu Immortal Land. He was Chu Liu Yu, the Crown Prince of the Great Chu Immortal Land. Having recently come out of seclusion, Yun Fan was not familiar with him, unlike the other seven or eight princes whom Yun Fan knew well. As for this Crown Prince, Yun Fan had only heard legends about him but had never seen him. However, after coming out of seclusion, this Crown Prince had repeatedly petitioned Chu Tianfei not to support the Taiqing Immortal Land, stating that the Great Chu Immortal Land was second to none in both self-preservation and offense. But his requests were ruthlessly rejected by Chu Tianfei. He was supposed to remain in the Great Chu Immortal Land, but due to his dissatisfaction, he followed the reinforcements to the Taiqing Immortal Land. Upon arriving, he discovered the existence of a monstrously talented individual like Yun Fan. This explained why his father was helping. However, he became jealous of Yun Fan, believing himself to be the true prodigy. All these honors and glory should have belonged to him, not to some ordinary kid like Yun Fan. To his surprise, the roulette wheel had randomly chosen him. Chu Liu Yu mentally cursed his bad luck.
"Father, my condition is not good. I cannot fight!" Chu Liu Yu quickly said to Chu Tianfei. He had no desire to die. If he fought this battle, he would surely perish without any chance of survival. Although he looked down on Yun Fan, whom he considered a parvenu, he knew that without Yun Fan's power, he was no match for the Fallen. Chu Tianfei was so enraged that he almost fainted. Chu Liu Yu was, after all, the Crown Prince of the Great Chu Immortal Land. While not the best successor, he shouldn't have retreated at such a moment. Chu Tianfei had placed great expectations on him. Even without Yun Fan's power, Chu Liu Yu was infinitely close to being a half-step God Emperor and should not have feared the One-Handed God King. Since the One-Handed God King had won the previous battle, he would continue to fight until he was defeated. Therefore, Chu Tianfei said coldly, "Liu Yu, your father has great confidence in your strength. Go up and fight boldly! Don't disgrace the Great Chu Immortal Land!" Chu Liu Yu still wanted to retreat, but Chu Tianfei pushed him onto the stage with a burst of power. Seeing this, Chu Liu Yu nearly collapsed to his knees.
"Father, why are you treating me like this?" Chu Liu Yu asked, filled with regret and despair. In his eyes, his father was sending him to his death. Therefore, his unwillingness was understandable.
"Sigh!" Seeing Chu Liu Yu's performance, Chu Tianfei was greatly disappointed. He hadn't expected his eldest son to be so cowardly. Despite having a significant advantage, he didn't know how to utilize it and instead became afraid. It was no wonder the Fallen were becoming increasingly rampant, and these Immortal Lands were being destroyed one after another.
"His strength is greater than the One-Handed God King's! This shouldn't be happening!" Yun Fan also saw Chu Liu Yu's strength. In terms of normal combat ability, he was much stronger. If Chu Liu Yu had fought with focus and no worries, his chances of winning would have been very high. But from the moment fear appeared on his face, Yun Fan knew Chu Liu Yu was doomed to lose. As expected, with the One-Handed God King's full-power strike, Chu Liu Yu was forced to retreat step by step.
"Fight back, you idiot!" Chu Tianfei cursed, exasperated. Even with the Fallen power bolstering the One-Handed God King, he shouldn't have been able to defeat Chu Liu Yu, whose inherent strength was considerable. Therefore, even if he couldn't win, he could at least fight to a draw, and he would survive. Unexpectedly, Chu Liu Yu, who was already terrified of the Fallen, lacked the courage to fight back. Many people in the Taiqing Immortal Land urged him to resist, but after witnessing Wu Ji Tai Yuan's instant defeat, Chu Liu Yu's courage had completely evaporated. He immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. In an instant, the Taiqing Immortal Land was speechless. They didn't understand why Chu Liu Yu would kneel and beg for mercy. With such strength, kneeling and begging for mercy not only stripped him of his dignity but also caused the Taiqing Immortal Land to lose face. As expected, the One-Handed God King, devoid of his own consciousness, would not show mercy. With the One-Handed God King's final blow, Chu Liu Yu perished.
"This battle, the Fallen have won again!" Xie Jun said disdainfully. Although everyone was filled with hatred, there was nothing they could do, as this was beyond their control. At this moment, the roulette wheel began to spin again. If the God Kings of the Taiqing Immortal Land proved to be incompetent, they might lose many more people. The Taiqing Immortal Land needed to defeat three Fallen God Kings, and if they failed, the game would continue. However, the Taiqing Immortal Land had already lost two God Kings against just one One-Handed God King, so it was hard to imagine how many more they would have to kill. Thus, the allied God Kings were all in a state of anxiety. At this moment, the beam of light from the roulette wheel fell upon Yun Fan, meaning he would be the next to fight. The five God Emperors were also surprised. Although they were confident in Yun Fan's strength, they didn't want him to get hurt. Therefore, they prepared to break the agreement and prevent Yun Fan from fighting. However, Yun Fan was quick. He leaped onto the stage himself, taking the initiative and giving everyone no time to react. This was because Yun Fan knew that although the game seemed simple, if it continued like this, the God Kings of the Taiqing Immortal Land would likely be annihilated. This was the flaw in the game, and someone needed to turn the tide and end the game prematurely. He believed he was the most suitable candidate because, even if he could only use his intrinsic power, his intrinsic power was a strengthened Creation Force, so he had no worries. He would be the one to end this game's rules. With things reaching this point, there was nothing more to be said. The five God Emperors remained vigilant, ready to break the rules and intervene if Yun Fan was in danger. Xie Jun sneered. This game could annihilate all God Kings below the God Emperor level. He knew for a fact that God Kings could never defeat Fallen God Kings. Indeed, at that very moment, the One-Handed God King attacked. With his powerful Fallen Force, he charged at Yun Fan. Yun Fan activated his peerless attribute, and in one round, instantly killed the One-Handed God King!
"What?" The Fallen race gasped. No one expected Yun Fan's strength to be so incredible, instantly killing their One-Handed God King. This revitalized the demoralized Taiqing Immortal Land, as they saw hope in Yun Fan. Only Yun Fan could end this rigged game. As expected, the roulette wheel spun again and selected the second Fallen God King. This one was indeed stronger than the One-Handed God King, but unfortunately, he couldn't last three rounds before being killed by Yun Fan. Xie Jun and the others were shocked. They hadn't expected the situation to completely reverse. What kind of incredible ability did this kid possess to kill two Fallen God Kings in a row? Then came the third, fourth, and so on, until the ninth Fallen God King was killed by Yun Fan. Cheers erupted from the Taiqing Immortal Land. In their eyes, Yun Fan was now an invincible god. As long as Yun Fan fought, victory was assured. On the other hand, the Fallen were filled with dejection. Although God Kings were not their top-tier combatants, losing nine God Kings at once was a significant loss. The game rule, initially designed to deal with the alliance, had ultimately backfired on them. Xie Jun no longer wanted to activate the roulette wheel. As long as Yun Fan remained undefeated, more Fallen God Kings would die. The cost was too great for them to bear.
At this point, Chu Tianfei sneered, "Xie Jun, the game isn't over yet. Why aren't you activating the roulette wheel?" His words filled the Taiqing Immortal Land with high spirits, while the Fallen were utterly dejected. Although these Fallen God Kings no longer possessed their own consciousness, they instinctively feared Yun Fan upon seeing him. After all, Yun Fan had slaughtered them like chopping vegetables when he killed nine Fallen God Kings in a row. They couldn't afford such a price. Xie Jun hadn't expected this game to become a trap for himself. Gritting his teeth, he declared, "Continue!" He refused to believe that Yun Fan could fight to the very end. He wanted to see how long Yun Fan could last. A day later, Yun Fan still stood calmly on the stage. For him, as long as the opponent was not a God Emperor, it was impossible to wear him down through attrition. Although the subsequent God Kings were strong, thanks to his peerless attribute, he eventually killed them all. The process might have been difficult, but Yun Fan was undoubtedly the final victor. To date, he had killed eighteen God Kings, an astounding record! Even the God Kings had become numb to being killed. The Fallen race was completely despondent, believing no God King could break Yun Fan's winning streak. They had considered sending out God Emperor level powerhouses, but the five God Emperors kept them tightly guarded, leaving no opportunity for them to act.
At this point, Xie Jun said, "The game ends here!"
"You can't afford to play anymore?" Jiang Yiqing said disdainfully. "You haven't defeated our third God King yet, so the game is not over!"
"Exactly!" the Myriad Dragon God Emperor added, "The game must continue!" The Fallen were furious, but they had no choice. They had intended to torment the Taiqing Immortal Land mentally, but in the end, they were the ones being tormented. At this moment, it was impossible not to be enraged. However, the tide had turned, and they were powerless. Ultimately, Xie Jun could only say, "I created the rules of this game, and the final interpretation belongs to me!" With that, he led the Fallen army away in disgrace. It was an extremely humiliating scene. But even if it meant losing face, he couldn't afford to lose any more Fallen God Kings, as Fallen God Emperors were born from Fallen God Kings. Losing half of their Fallen God Kings at once was a grave offense, and he didn't know how to explain it to his superiors. If Yun Fan continued to kill, dozens of Fallen God Kings might be annihilated.
"If you can't play, don't play!" Yun Fan sneered. He was enjoying himself, but the Fallen had lost their appetite for the game. This greatly disappointed him. However, to have killed eighteen Fallen God Kings in this battle was a great victory for him. After all, such a record could be considered the strongest below the God Emperor level. The Taiqing Immortal Land erupted in cheers. They knew that after this battle, the Fallen would likely behave, at least not attacking for a considerable period. The five God Emperors were also reveling in their victory, as Yun Fan's performance in this battle had truly boosted their morale. However, they harbored a lingering concern: the ten slumbering Fallen warriors were a definite problem. Therefore, they immediately began discussing how to deal with them. They didn't include Yun Fan in this discussion, not because of his status; quite the opposite, they consulted him on all major matters, and Yun Fan could even make decisions. However, Yun Fan had already fought eighteen Fallen God Kings and was very tired, so they decided not to disturb him.
The Light God Emperor said, "If those ten slumbering Fallen God Emperors awaken, with our current strength, we will likely be unable to resist!"
"Indeed! Their numbers far exceed ours!" Jiang Yiqing also shook her head. Over a dozen God Emperors meant a complete crushing defeat, with no chance of survival. This was their greatest dilemma. At this moment, Chu Tianfei said, "I have a bold idea!"
"Proactive offense?" the four God Emperors looked at him in unison.
Chu Tianfei shook his head. "Proactive offense offers no advantage. The Fallen won't give us such an opportunity. What I mean is, instead of contemplating how to overcome this hardship, we should focus our efforts on Yun Fan!"
"Make him a God Emperor?" The few of them immediately understood. Although Yun Fan's power had been maximized through Jiang Yiqing, if Yun Fan also reached the God Emperor realm, the outcome would be different. They were certain that if Yun Fan reached the God Emperor realm, he would undoubtedly be stronger than Jiang Yiqing. They just didn't know how much stronger. In their opinion, if Yun Fan could reach the God Emperor realm, he might have a way to deal with those over ten God Emperors. Therefore, at this moment, they should not focus on themselves as the five God Emperors; instead, they should focus on Yun Fan. After all, Yun Fan, this rising star, was not just talk. To some extent, Yun Fan was the key figure in turning the tide of defeat. This had already been proven. If not for Yun Fan's arrival, the Taiqing Immortal Land and the Great Chu Immortal Land would likely have become history by now. Therefore, at this moment, they placed their hopes on Yun Fan and prepared to fully develop him.
