Chapter 414 - 44: Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors, Subduing the Emperor’s Weapon
"Oh no!"
The Purple Thunder Emperor was startled, transforming into a bolt of lightning, swiftly dodging away.
But the blade of the saber was too fast.
The lightning was cleaved in half with a crack.
The Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor seized the opportunity for an attack; the lightning, just merged, was again knocked away by the trident.
"Poof!"
The silhouette of the Purple Thunder Emperor emerged, gravely injured, and he stared intensely at that black light.
It was an ink-black arched scissors. Though called scissors, it was actually two arc-shaped bull horns refined into form, yet its sharpness made the Purple Thunder Emperor’s heart tremble with fear.
This was an Emperor’s Weapon!
The materials used to craft this Emperor’s Weapon must have been the horns of a Great Emperor Level bull demon. Even clad in the Emperor Divine Weapon, the Purple Sky Thunder Armor, he was still cleaved in two and suffered unprecedented damage.
Following up.
Again, the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor’s trident delivered a full-force frontal strike, his strength now left less than a tenth, and a bull demon even stronger than the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor appeared.
This figure resembled the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor, but the aura on his body far surpassed that of the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor—it was the Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor.
The Invincible Demon Emperor.
He wielded the Demon Emperor-bestowed Emperor’s Weapon, the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors, an invincible existence beneath the Great Emperor!
"My fate is sealed!"
The Purple Thunder Emperor despaired in his heart; at this moment, he couldn’t even defeat the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor, let alone this Invincible Demon Emperor wielding an Emperor’s Weapon.
The Purple Cloud Palace also had the exceptional Emperor’s Weapon of Emperor Zixiao, the Purple Sky Thunder Halberd, but it was for suppressing the foundations, and he hadn’t brought it.
Even if he had, he might not be able to defeat this Invincible Demon Emperor!
"You have quite a bit of strength!"
The Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor, holding the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors, said coldly:
"I will use these Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors to cut off your head—consider it your honor!"
As he spoke, the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors with the curved blades opened up, transforming into a giant pair of scissors, making a snipping motion at the Purple Thunder Emperor’s neck.
"It’s over!"
Ying Mingkong and the others were in despair—if even the Purple Thunder Emperor was no match, where could they possibly escape to?
"We’ll fight to the death!"
Gritting her teeth, Ying Mingkong prepared for a life-and-death struggle, determined to take a few down with her if she had to die.
Clang!
The clash of metal echoed throughout the heavens and the earth. The defenseless Purple Thunder Emperor, expecting death, was surprised he didn’t perish.
A silver flying ship appeared in front of him, shimmering with five-colored light, blocking the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors.
This was an Emperor’s Weapon, after all.
Even powered by the Invincible Demon Emperor, an Emperor Divine Weapon-level flying ship would have been cut in half.
But this silver flying ship was unharmed.
"These scissors are not bad; now they are mine!"
Within the ship, Zhou Chen cradled Bai Zhanying, his eyes lighting up as he gazed at the projection on the virtual screen of the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors.
He and Bai Zhanying were inseparable.
Bai Zhanying sneered:
"You say it’s yours, so it’s yours? That monster is no weakling, feeling even more dangerous than my father!"
Her father, Bai Santong, was the Clan Leader of the Divine Beast Tribe, at the peak of Demon Emperor cultivation, and a divine beast. His combat power was astonishing, comparable to an Invincible Emperor!
"So what if it’s an Invincible Emperor? Even if a Great Emperor comes today, I’m determined to take these scissors!"
Zhou Chen squeezed Bai Zhanying’s soft, perky buttocks, giving the order:
"Suppressor Scissors, merge with the flying ship!"
"Yes, Master!"
Though it takes long to describe, it all happened in an instant.
The Red Dust controlled the Celestial Ship, and the Heaven-Locking Soul-Seeking Hook activated, transforming into chains with sharp hooks, like pythons coiling and locking around the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
The Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors trembled violently, wanting to escape, but under Zhou Chen’s Red Dust Celestial Ship, it had no chance to resist.
Even though the Heaven-Locking Soul-Seeking Hook was currently only at the Great Emperor Level, its essence was an Opening Heaven Divine Artifact, supported by the energy of a whole world from the Heaven-Locking Realm and empowered by the Red Dust Celestial Ship—an Emperor’s Weapon had no way to defy it.
Swish.
The Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors was instantly suppressed and taken by the Celestial Ship, then directly infused with energy from the ship, forcibly merged with it.
At that moment.
The Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors felt like a delicate young girl faced with the overbearing and unreasonable behemoth, the Red Dust Celestial Ship, subdued in an instant, branded with the ship’s mark, and transformed into Zhou Chen’s possession.
A brand new weapon unit established—the Ox Demon Cutting Realm.
The Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors transformed into an Opening Heaven Divine Artifact, all traces of its alien origin erased, completely becoming part of the Celestial Ship.
"No!"
The Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor couldn’t believe the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors were subdued in an instant, even feeling a total loss of connection with them.
"Hand over the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors!"
The Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor was furious, transforming into a bull demon three thousand feet tall.
Propelling through the air with hoofs, its horns, sharp as Celestial Sabers, charged fiercely at the Celestial Ship.
"Let’s see how you taste the power of the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors!"
Zhou Chen’s lips curled into a smile, the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors having fused into the sides at the front of the Celestial Ship like two sharp blades.
As Zhou Chen focused his thoughts, the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors, attached to the ship’s sides, opened forward, forming like a pair of scissors.
Torrential, vast energy surged into the newly established Ox Demon Cutting Realm, the Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors erupting with power countless times greater than before.
Snip!
Inevitably, the three-thousand-foot bull demon driving through the air was scissor-sliced in two.
Yet, it still wasn’t dead.
The Celestial Ship dashed forward, slicing several times, cutting the Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor into over ten pieces before dying utterly.
Gray, misty tendrils extended from the Celestial Ship, pulling the remains of the Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor into the Life Furnace of the Life Thunder Pool.
The Life Furnace, evolved from the roots of the World Tree, could refine even void chaotic energies, let alone anything else.
As it refined, the Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor broke down, with all its energies merging into the Celestial Ship, its mastered Heaven-shaking Law also integrating.
With the Celestial Ship’s acquisition of the Heaven-shaking Law, it became even more powerful, allowing weapons like the Heaven-Cracking Horn to invoke the Power of Laws when attacking enemies.
Charging forth, the Heaven-Cracking Horn pierced into the enemy’s heart, then vibrating abruptly, the enemy would surely disintegrate into dust.
"Dead... dead?"
"The Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor is dead?"
The Purple Thunder Emperor and the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor both widened their eyes in disbelief.
It seemed long in telling, but it had been just in the blink of an eye that both the Thunderous Bull Demon Emperor and the Emperor’s Weapon Ox Demon World-Destroying Scissors were gone!
"Oh no!"
Realizing the danger, the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor quickly turned and fled.
Swish!
The Celestial Ship, a stream of light, pierced through, embedding the Heaven-Cracking Horn into the Three-pronged Bull Demon Emperor’s body, shaking gently; the latter disintegrated into a mist of flesh and blood, subsequently devoured by the ship’s tendrils.
These tendrils were all evolved from the roots of the World Tree.
Following that.
Boom!
The Chaos Primordial Qi Cannon fired from the Celestial Ship, obliterating countless demons with a single blast.
"The Purple Thunder Emperor pays his respects to the senior, many thanks for the life-saving grace!"
The Purple Thunder Emperor immediately bowed with hands clasped in a salute.
He was yet unaware this Celestial Ship belonged to Zhou Chen, assuming it was undoubtedly the ship of a Great Emperor.
Onboard the Celestial Ship.
Zhou Chen, after giving a firm push to Bai Zhanying, withdrew, donned his robe, stepped onto the deck of the Celestial Ship, and smiled mildly:
"Purple Thunder Emperor, long time no see!"
"Zhou... Young Master Zhou!?"
The Purple Thunder Emperor’s eyes widened in shock—it turned out to be Zhou Chen.
"It’s him!"
Ying Mingkong’s full, heaving chest quivered, tightening her legs, her unrivaled beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Chen, filled with astonishment and joy.
Also unforeseen was the scene where the powerhouse who, with breathtaking might, suppressed an Emperor’s Weapon and an Invincible Demon Emperor in mere breaths was the very same little devil she was intimately familiar with.
Images of Zhou Chen’s antics in dealing with her floated in her mind, igniting a surge of warmth in her heart.
Having just escaped death, experiencing such a close brush with her end...
She had an epiphany!!
