World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Zi Qiong and the others were still reeling from shock when an enormous black hole appeared out of nowhere in the void beyond the Chaotic Sky Screen. A towering black figure, radiating an immense demonic presence, slowly emerged from the abyss.    

This imposing figure was tall and exuded a chilling aura. The space between his eyebrows pulsed with a fearsome energy, one that seemed capable of obliterating the cosmos itself.    

He stood in silence, yet his mere presence was suffocating. Even separated by the Chaotic Sky Screen, Zi Qiong and the others felt the oppressive weight of his demonic energy, as if the air was being squeezed from their lungs.    

The Violet Sky Immortal King and his companions instinctively narrowed their eyes at the sight of the dark figure materializing outside the Chaos Sky Screen.    

The Imperishable Demon Emperor!    

He was one of the Devil Emperors who had emerged in the Immortal World during the Primordial Era, the very leader who had commanded the Devil Emperors in their invasion of the Immortal World.    

In the epic war between the Immortals and Devils of that ancient time, the Immortal Emperor, led by the Green Emperor, had faced this foe. In the end, only the Undying Devil Emperor remained. The Green Emperor, utilizing the legacy of the Immortal Dao of the Immortal World, managed to seal both the Undying Devil Emperor and the Ancient Devil Palace.    

With no Immortal Emperor now in the Immortal World, and the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace making its appearance, how could the Immortal World possibly stand against it?    

"Welcome, Lord Devil Emperor!"    

In that moment, every Devil King, including the Black Dragon Devil King, gazed up at the Indestructible Devil Emperor with expressions of deep respect. Their eyes shone with an intense fanaticism.    

The Indestructible Demon Emperor paid no heed to the Black Dragon Demon King and the rest. His dark gaze fixed upon the Chaotic Sky Screen before him.    

"The Chaotic Sky Immortal Formation, is it the Green Emperor's handiwork once more? Alas... while the formation is impressive, its creator is far too feeble. Were an Immortal Emperor here, perhaps I might be stymied. But you, Immortal Kings, thinking to halt my advance... How utterly delusional!"    

Before the Imperishable Demon Emperor could finish his taunt, he swept his hand forward. A colossal surge of demonic energy, laden with a world-shattering force, slammed into the Chaotic Sky Screen in the blink of an eye.    

However, the terrifying collision was eerily silent, not producing the slightest sound in the air. The Chaotic Sky Screen, which had withstood the relentless assaults of the Black Dragon Demon King and his cohorts, began to fade rapidly, visible to the naked eye. Within moments, the once seemingly impenetrable barrier grew transparent and then vanished without a trace.    

As the Primal Chaos Curtain dissipated, Zi Qiong Immortal King and his allies trembled, their complexions turning deathly pale. Some of the less resilient Immortal Kings were even forced to expel a mouthful of their lifeblood. They looked up at the Indestructible Devil Emperor looming in the sky, their eyes brimming with an indescribable sense of despair.    

The Devil Emperor's might was undeniable, a being whose power rivaled that of an Immortal Emperor. His presence was overwhelmingly fearsome. Even the combined might of the Immortal Kings from the four great Immortal Domains, utilizing a formation devised by an ancient Immortal Emperor, seemed feeble in comparison.    

"Back then, the Green Emperor disrupted the Immortal Dao's origin to seal the Ancient Devil Palace, causing the laws of the Immortal Dao to scatter. Since then, no one has been able to comprehend the Great Dao and ascend to the Immortal Emperor realm. I'm eager to see how your Immortal World will attempt to thwart me now!" The Indestructible Devil Emperor's voice boomed as he extended his hand, delivering a seemingly gentle slap in the direction of Zi Qiong and his companions.    

This calm gesture paradoxically sealed off the space around Zi Qiong and the others, trapping them. "Violet Flame Void Incinerating Sword!" Zi Qiong's pupils contracted sharply as an ancient sword, wreathed in purple flames and exuding a supreme immortal might, materialized before him. The appearance of the sword released an aura so commanding that all the Immortal Kings felt an instinctive urge to bow in reverence, its presence permeating the air.    

In response to the Undying Demon Emperor's assault, Zi Qiong did not hesitate to wield the Purple Flame Emperor Palace's Sovereign Weapon. "Heavenly Phoenix Divine Feather!" "Azure Li Ancient Seal!" "Gu Yue Heavenly Order!" The Heavenly Phoenix Immortal King, Green Sky Immortal King, and Moon River Immortal King each summoned their respective royal armaments, facing the Undying Demon Emperor's palm strike with no trace of negligence.    

"Rumble..."    

The collision of the four monarch weapons against the Undying Demon Emperor's palm caused the very fabric of space to crumble. Heaven and earth were in disarray, and the entire Devil Suppressing Immortal Domain was turned on its head. Mountains and rivers were reduced to rubble. Amidst the terrifying impact, the realm shattered, leaving devastation in its wake. Agonized cries filled the air as countless inhabitants of the Suppressing Demon Immortal Realm perished in the clash.    

In the tumultuous void, the monarch weapons wielded by Zi Qiong and the others emitted mournful cries. Zi Qiong and the others trembled violently before being hurled thousands of miles away, like kites whose strings had been cut. Blood spilled from their mouths, a stark contrast against their pale faces.    

Behind the Violet Sky Immortal King, the other Immortal Kings of the Immortal Dimension were faring terribly. Some of the weaker ones had their lifespans halved by the mere aftershocks of the powerful exchange.    

Their gazes fixed on the Indestructible Devil Emperor, who stood with an air of dominance between heaven and earth, their eyes brimming with despair.    

The Indestructible Devil Emperor's might was overwhelming. Even with the Violet Sky Immortal King and the other three wielding their emperor treasures, they were no match for him.    

"Violet Sky, his power is overwhelming. We have no defense against him. Is he the descendant of the Azure Emperor you mentioned? When will he make his move?" The Heavenly Phoenix Immortal King, struggling to contain the surging power within him, turned to Zi Qiong with a sense of urgency.    

The gap between a devil king and a devil emperor might only be a single word, but in terms of strength, it was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth. Even at the pinnacle of the Immortal King Realm, they were as insignificant as ants before such might.    

Had it not been for the emperor treasure bequeathed by their ancestors, the Undying Devil Emperor's previous assault would have likely been their undoing, powerful enough to obliterate them all.    

"Even if we can't withstand him, we have no choice but to try," Zi Qiong stated resolutely, taking a deep breath. "He inquired about the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Palace not long ago and then vanished. I have no idea where he is now."    

"Don't waste your efforts. You Immortals of the Immortal World stand no chance against me," the Undying Devil Emperor declared with cold finality.    

At that very moment, the Indestructible Demon Emperor materialized before Zi Qiong and her companions. Towering above them, he gazed down at Violet Heaven Immortal King and the rest. "Surrender without resistance. If you lead the Immortal Dimension to bow before the Desolate Ancient Devil Palace, I might just spare your lives."    

Zi Qiong let out a derisive snort. "Undying Devil Emperor, the notion of us submitting to you is pure fantasy. The Immortal World will not fall prey to your Desolate Ancient Devil Palace. We triumphed over your kind in ancient times, and we're fully capable of doing so again."    

"Really? Do you truly believe that the Immortal World of today is the same as it was in the ancient era? Back then, the Immortal World had numerous Immortal Emperors, all under the leadership of the Green Emperor. Now, with no Immortal Emperors to defend it, what hope do you have of standing against me?"    

A chilling glint appeared in the eyes of the Indestructible Demon Emperor. Once more, his body unleashed a terrifying surge of demonic energy that engulfed the world. "Since you choose defiance, prepare to meet your end at my hands."
