Chapter 201 A Battle at the Dominator Level, Xia Faxi Gets Involved?
"The Roaring Emperor has come too—"
The moment Xia Fa saw the burly man covered in bone spurs appear, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
Even if all he saw was the back of the roaring emperor.
But even just that back view gave people a strong sense of fear and oppression, like a demon king who had fought his way out of hell, or a monster that had crawled out of the abyss. Many pirates around, and even many pirates from the Wanxing Pirate Crew and the Qunsha Pirate Crew, turned pale the moment they saw that back view. Some even had their legs go weak and were about to lose their balance.
If we say that the Father of Ten Thousand Stars was the most prestigious and convincing of the five pirate emperors at sea, then he was the most powerful.
So, among the five pirate emperors at sea, the Roaring Emperor is the most feared and terrifying.
There was no other reason than his extraordinary monarch status and strength, and his brutal methods that were so terrifying that they inspired fear in everyone!
The Roaring Emperor was bare-chested, his muscular upper body bulging with muscles, especially his pectoral and arm muscles, which were incredibly strong.
He wasn't wearing a captain's hat, but was bald, and strangely, he had a respirator on his face. Even when he wasn't speaking, he was constantly emitting heavy, bellows-like breaths.
But what's truly chilling is that his head, face, ears, arms, and body were all covered with large and small white bone spurs!
Each of these bone spurs is extremely sharp, giving people a sense of extreme danger.
Xia Fa vaguely knew that this seemed to be the effect of the overlord-level secret contract "Primal Stomach" signed by the Roaring Emperor. Like "Conditions Eternity" and "Forge of All Things", "Primal Stomach" did not have specific secret contract abilities, but precisely because of this, it seemed even more mysterious and powerful.
It is said that the "Primal Stomach," a supreme-level secret contract, allows the signatory to "devour" all sorts of supernatural creatures, monsters, and even enemies.
Then, briefly gain their intimate abilities or extraordinary talents.
Such brief gains usually only last from a few minutes to a few days.
However, after the original stomach's signatory "devours" the target, there is a certain chance that the signed ability or extraordinary talent gained will be permanently "absorbed".
That's extremely perverted.
Initially, when Xia Fa saw the introduction of the Primal Stomach, a supreme-level secret contract, he was almost stunned.
Because, when it comes to the upper limit, without a doubt, among the ten overlord-level secret contracts, apart from the two unknown ones, the "Primordial Stomach" overlord-level secret contract has the highest upper limit!
If the signatory lives long enough and doesn't lose control, wouldn't the more targets they "devour" and "absorb" they "acquire," the more secret abilities and extraordinary talents they gain, and thus the stronger they become?
Moreover, in addition to the ability of close cooperation and extraordinary talent, it is said that those who sign with the Primal Stomach can also obtain some of the target's physical characteristics and receive the same bonus.
Take the Roaring Emperor, for example. Legend has it that he devoured two supernatural creatures, the Roaring Titan and the Bone Spike Troll, and absorbed their talents, which is why he has the title "Roaring Emperor" and the appearance of being covered in bone spikes.
Previously, Xia Fa had only heard about it secondhand, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Indeed, each of the ten overlord-level secret contracts is so tempting—"
The thought of signing a contract with the "Primal Stomach" and devouring supernatural creatures and weird things everywhere is incredibly exciting.
After calming down, seeing that his cousin Hercules, the father of all stars, remained calm and composed when the Roaring Emperor appeared, Xia Fa was completely relieved and prepared to run away at any time.
Xia Fa wasn't sure if a battle at the level of a ruler would break out in the Hall of Stars, since he hadn't divined anything about it, only that a quarrel at the level of a ruler would erupt.
The argument between the dominant forces has just erupted, and what happens next is completely unknown.
Whether it's because there are too many rulers involved or his current mental state, he can't allow himself to do a similar divination again. Therefore, Xia Fa decided that if things don't go well, he should just run away!
Anyway, since Cousin Hercules is a transcendent monarch who signed the Gate of Stars, no one present could stop him. He could probably even take Cousin Locke with him and run away. So Xiafa has nothing to worry about and just needs to protect himself.
The main problem is that I am currently too weak in front of the rulers and extraordinary monarchs, so even if I wanted to help, I couldn't.
"If all else fails, we'll have to practice on Prince Justinian. We absolutely must quickly understand the Gate of Stars, this supreme-level secret contract, and then sign the 'Mystic Singularity'—"
After experiencing the dramatic changes at today's pirate tournament, Xia Fa has a clearer understanding of his own strength, and his desire to become stronger has become even more urgent.
In particular, the Mysterious Singularity seems to be a supreme covenant that no one has ever signed before. Once I sign it, I can launch a surprise attack against any Overlord in the future.
As for facing a transcendent monarch, at least I'll be able to escape, unlike now where I'm living in fear and constantly on the defensive.
"Father of All Stars, how dare you! We, two extraordinary monarchs and one ruler, are not enough to stop you?"
Just then, a hoarse, unpleasant voice, like a broken bellows, rang out in the Hall of Stars.
The sound seemed to carry a strong stench of blood, and just hearing it made many people even more terrified.
It was the Roaring Emperor.
The Father of Ten Thousand Stars glanced at it indifferently, looking down at it with an unwavering tone:
"If you go all out, it is indeed possible to keep me here."
He paused slightly, then changed the subject:
"But you should also consider this carefully. If I escape, given my current status as the Fishman Emperor and the signatory of the Star Gate, plus being all alone, if I were to go to your three territories—"
Upon hearing this, both the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet visibly stiffened, while only the Crimson Executor remained composed, his eyes still holding a playful smile.
"Since you say so..."
The Crimson Proxy stepped forward and casually drew a revolver from its waist:
"Then we absolutely cannot let you get away."
Wow!
Grasp the revolver and slide the cylinder across the sleeve of your suit.
To everyone's surprise, instead of aiming at the father of ten thousand stars, he aimed at his own temple!
"It seems you've already guessed. That's right, I did reach an agreement with the Roaring Emperor to divide your territorial waters. After all, you are a fish-man, not one of us humans, nor a demi-human. If we don't take your territorial waters and exterminate all the fish-men in them, do you think we should just let your race continue to multiply and grow stronger?"
The Crimson Executor spoke with a cruel laugh, then continued:
"However, we'll have to see if fate will give me that opportunity."
Click!
The moment he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger of the revolver aimed at his own temple!
This utterly insane act made the Roaring Emperor's eyelids twitch, and he couldn't help but turn to look at the Crimson Proxy.
The Roaring Emperor was closest to the Crimson Agent and could clearly feel that there really was a Soul-Destroying Bullet inside the Crimson Agent's sealed revolver!
Fortunately, no gunshots were fired. The Crimson Proxy removed the gun from his temple, his smile growing even wider.
"Unfortunately, fate smiled upon me once again, and that—"
He raised his revolver, aiming the muzzle at the forehead of the Father of All Stars on the throne atop the high platform.
"..-.now you."
boom!
The Soul-Destroying Bullet whistled out of the muzzle and spun as it struck the Father of Ten Thousand Stars.
At the same time, the two arch-enemies, the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet, made their move at the same time with remarkable coordination!
The Thousand-Faced Prophet vanished from his spot in a flash.
The next moment, the space around the Father of Ten Thousand Stars turned black and white, exuding a dense aura of death and the scent of decay.
Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine. As a signatory to the Gate of Stars, he clearly sensed that the space around his cousin Hercules was dying!
Yes, those spaces are not collapsing or decaying, but dying, as if they have been given the concept of "death"!
In this situation, many of the secret abilities of the Gate of Stars will be difficult to use!
"Is this the Prophet of a Thousand Faces' method? It can even cause space itself to die?"
roar!!!!!!
A sound like the roar of a giant beast rang out, and many pirates who were close to the platform immediately bled from all seven orifices and died on the spot.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared, displaying extreme tyranny, and crashed directly into the Father of Ten Thousand Stars on the throne!
At the same time, the Soul-Destroying Bullet fired by the Crimson Proxy approached the Father of Ten Thousand Stars' brow with an unshakeable pressure.
"Sigh."
A heavy sigh arose from the star-like throne.
The moment it shattered, starlight exploded across the throne, instantly filling the entire Hall of Stars!
It was as if the cosmos had descended, a magnificent and spectacular sight. Even as the rulers began their attack, many pirates were still stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the starlight suddenly condensed, but it focused on the area in front of the Crimson Executor.
All the starlight coalesced into a human figure, and that figure was none other than the Father of All Stars!
The starlight exploded and then condensed, seemingly a long process, but in reality it was completed in the blink of an eye. Many pirates didn't even have time to react, still looking up at the dome.
call!
As soon as the Father of Ten Thousand Stars materialized, he punched the Crimson Proxy without saying a word.
As the ruler, and especially as the extraordinary monarch who signed the Gate of Stars, he actually chose this head-on confrontation at this critical juncture of life and death!
The Crimson Proxy was caught completely off guard and was hit by his fist. His body flew backward like a cannonball and was about to crash into the wall of the Hall of Stars.
As a signatory to the condition of perpetuality, he possesses a strong ability to influence or openly impose those bizarre "perpetual" conditions, but he is helpless against close-range attacks.
Or rather, while there are other ways to deal with other rulers, there are not many options available, but when it comes to an extraordinary monarch who has signed the Gate of Stars, there is no way to deal with him for the time being!
This was no ordinary punch; it was a punch imbued with the power of countless stars!
Suddenly, the void rippled, and the air behind the Crimson Agent transformed into an incredibly viscous gel in an extremely strange way, which just slowed down the inertia of being thrown backward.
Just as he was about to regain his footing, the Father of All Stars' body shattered into starlight once again, instantly coalescing in front of the Crimson Proxy.
As soon as he appeared, he pressed his large hand against the face of the Crimson Proxy, his eyes flashing with secret runes, as if he was about to unleash some kind of extremely powerful secret ability.
But at that moment, the space around the Father of Ten Thousand Stars turned black and white once again.
roar!!!!!!!
A chilling roar resounded, and a figure covered in bone spurs descended from the sky—it was the Roaring Emperor!
The Roaring Emperor suddenly stretched out his hands, which transformed into monstrous arms covered in pustules and tumors, oozing foul-smelling slime, and were about to grab the arms of the Father of All Stars.
As soon as these two monstrous long arms appeared, countless roars and screams rang out in the surrounding void, making it extremely eerie.
There was also a Soul-Destroying Bullet that veered off course in front of the Star Throne and whistled as it struck the back of the Father of All Stars' head.
Neither the Crimson Agent himself, nor the Roaring Emperor and the Thousand-Faced Prophet expected that their carefully planned deadly trap against the Father of All Stars would be so easily evaded using the secret power of the Gate of Stars, and that they would even launch a counterattack.
Originally, a dying space naturally restrains the spatial abilities of the Star Gate.
The extraordinary talent of the "Roaring Titan" used by the Roaring Emperor was able to instantly impact the mind of the Father of All Stars, causing him to be temporarily restrained, his mind to be lost, and unable to make any reaction.
As for the Crimson Agent's Soul-Destroying Bullet, it was also imbued with the "guaranteed hit" ability of the revolver-shaped seal, as well as the "eternity" of the condition that ensured the Father of All Stars "could not dodge this Soul-Destroying Bullet."
However, to everyone's surprise, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars simply used the "Starlight" within his "Starlight Body" to ignore all restrictions and escape this deadly situation!
Moreover, it almost seriously injured the Crimson Proxy!
At this moment, although Princess Shark was watching the battle, gems kept lighting up on her mask, which was inlaid with tiny gems, flashing various patterns.
No one noticed that the aftershocks of the battle between the three extraordinary monarchs and the overlord mysteriously disappeared a few meters away from them.
Otherwise, those two roars from the Roaring Emperor alone would have been enough to cause all the angels and those below them in the entire City of Ten Thousand Stars, and even the entire Worm Islands, to bleed from all seven orifices and die!
"So, the reason we invited Princess Shark was specifically to keep watch over the place."
Xia Fa noticed this, and was quite surprised and found it rather strange.
Bang!
Just as the Crimson Executor's curved Soul-Destroying Bullet, the Roaring Emperor's fleshy arms, and the dying space were about to converge and kill the Father of All Stars, the Father of All Stars' body suddenly exploded into starlight once again.
But this time it was completely different. Centered on her body, which had transformed into starlight, the space suddenly "came alive" and began to rotate like a whirlpool on the surface of water, contracting inward.
At the same time, in the Hall of Stars, on the high platform beside the throne, a similar spatial vortex appeared around Locke's cousin.
This spatial vortex contained a terrifying force of exile, instantly absorbing not only Locke's cousin but also the starlight that the Father of Ten Thousand Stars' body had shattered into.
Moreover, after Xinghui entered, the three rulers seemed to lose their footing and were affected by the power of exile.
Suddenly, the vortex trembled violently, emanating an extremely powerful and strange aura, carrying the status of a "god".
As soon as this aura spread, pairs of eyelash-less eyes appeared in the surrounding air, rolling around and looking at everyone.
In that instant, both the Roaring Emperor and the Crimson Agent's expressions changed immediately, and they retreated rapidly.
The Thousand-Faced Prophet also emerged from the black and white space, retreating rapidly as well.
The extremely powerful and strange aura grew stronger and stronger, and more and more eyes appeared around them. It seemed that the battle between the several rulers had opened the entrance to the Celestial Spirit Realm, and some "unknown being" was about to approach reality through this.
But at that moment, extremely complex and obscure secret texts suddenly appeared on the spatial vortex.
Immediately afterwards, everyone present realized that the spatial vortex had been "sealed".
The aura vanished in an instant, and the eyes dissipated one by one. The unknown being could no longer approach reality through this.
Meanwhile, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars and First Mate Locke had already fled.
After a brief moment of shock, the Roaring Emperor's face visibly darkened.
Together with the Crimson Agent, two Extraordinary Monarchs, and with the Thousand-Faced Prophet using the artifact that allows him to rival Extraordinary Monarchs as an aid, they countered the Secret Bond ability of the Stargate, the Father of All Stars.
Unexpectedly, the Father of Ten Thousand Stars still managed to escape so easily, even taking his trusted lieutenant, Captain Locke, with him!
Thinking of the potential retaliation from the Father of All Stars, especially since the Father of All Stars was a transcendent monarch who had signed the Gate of Stars, the Roaring Emperor grew increasingly furious. He turned his head and looked at the other pirates in the Hall of Stars.
"All of you stand still, don't move! I'm going to check if there are any traitors planted among you by the Father of Ten Thousand Stars!"
His gaze swept not only over the pirates of the Wanxing Pirate Crew, but also over the pirates of other small pirate crews present, and even the miscellaneous pirates.
Only the pirates of the Shark Pirates were spared, perhaps because Princess Shark was present.
Upon hearing the Roaring Emperor's words, many pirates' expressions changed drastically, revealing expressions of despair.
Because they all realized that the Roaring Emperor was going to slaughter them indiscriminately and vent his anger on them!
It was at this moment that the Roaring Emperor first walked towards the ragtag pirates where Xia Fa was!
