Lu's words were not loud, but they ignited a flame in the hearts of every cultivator in the Five Phoenixes starry sky.
Overbearing!
Emperors... not one left alive!
Lu intended to leave all the god-demon emperors here!
Wood Emperor already fallen; Water followed swiftly.
In mere instants, two emperors perished.
Those were god-demon emperors—pinnacles of the Primordial Starry Sky—yet slain effortlessly by Lu.
True deaths—no revival like before.
Wood's consciousness utterly annihilated.
The atmosphere blazed—human experts aflame. Oppressed by god-demons for ages; now vengeance, plus Lu's dominance—human will soared like burning firewood into the heavens.
Human will never so cohesive.
Black-White Queen's black-white eyes narrowed slightly.
Lu's killing intent dense.
But she deemed him reckless.
"Now you're Saint-level—many things unclear..."
"Against the gate's entity—more chaos-tiers, higher success."
Black-White Queen said.
"Stop killing—keep them to resist."
Disagreed total emperor slay—this apocalypse unlike prior eras; even she lacked confidence survival.
Keeping god-demon emperors—greater chance.
Wanbao Saint silent—squinted smile.
Knew her logic—but no interference; lazy; inwardly supported Lu.
God-demon emperors concealed, ambushed humans.
Without human strength exceeding expectations—likely Yun Qiangu dead.
No words.
Emperors dying? Fine.
Long wanted them gone.
Lu gripped cooling Five Phoenixes Bow—smiled evenly at Black-White Queen.
Indeed—she aided once.
But no concession—these emperors must die; not just plotting his death, but scheming more.
Keeping them—trouble.
"No more killing remaining."
Black-White repeated.
But Lu merely stroked bow.
Atmosphere tense.
Lu's rapid growth—beyond her expectation; thought Sainthood ages away—uncertain pre-gate.
But swift.
Not just Saint—combat beyond ordinary.
Emperor-slaying power.
Bow, special constitution...
Black-White sensed anomaly.
"No..."
"They seek my death—I slay them all."
"I, Lu Ping'an, admit... poor temper, but..."
"Poor temper—what of it?"
Lu faint.
Stroking ceased—raised head; calm gaze Black-White Queen.
Next—instant bow raised; five energies converged; black arrow formed.
Full draw—terrifying killing intent erupted.
Meanwhile.
Wood and Water fallen instant—Fire, Earth, Gold sensed; expressions vastly changed—but escape hard.
Yun Qiangu injured—but strong; smiling blocked Fire; inwardly shocked.
"Lu stirring big trouble..."
"Wood and Water dead—Lu leaving all god-demon emperors?"
Eyes gleamed.
Guarding depths long—knew: fewer emperors—gate immense pressure.
But...
Recalling emperors' plot, invading to slay Lu.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Yun Qiangu dismissed.
Their fault!
Lu never left Five Phoenixes—emperors came kill him; self-defense.
No reason block Lu—no block.
Even aid.
"Gate apocalypse... hmph! Fewer emperors—so what? Beast inheritances human—kill!"
Eyes bright.
Fire anxious.
Felt human malice—he regretted entering ancestral land.
Current Five Phoenixes—human ancestral; far more terrifying than past.
Twelve chaos-tiers...
Desperate.
Fire raged roar—but sticky Yun Qiangu blocked... no breakout.
Gold and Earth same.
Three emperors panicked.
Especially Lu drawing bow—peerless crisis; despair for emperors.
Black-White deep breath—chest heaved.
Ultimately no move.
Situation clear—all god-demons' fault.
Lu no intent slay emperors initially—emperors initiated; capture, kill Lu.
No reason intervene.
"Pity..."
Black-White shook head—regretful gaze.
Beast inheritances good—but five emperors impending fall offset joy.
"Current situation—gate appears... can we hold?"
"Post-era—next?"
"Perhaps Primordial Starry Sky henceforth chaos—no beings."
Shook head—myriad laments.
But laments aside—no block Lu.
Strong—but Lu's chaos arrow crisis even her; tricky.
Lu saw no block—exhaled.
Lips curled.
Released drawn chaos arrow.
Whoosh!
Dimensional space twisted under arrow.
Blasted—into Fire vs. Yun Qiangu dimension.
Boom!
Terrifying black hole instant swallowed; annihilation swept.
Yun Qiangu crossed out—pale.
Lu's arrow power—thrilling him.
Hit—death.
Fortunate human Lu.
Or Lu human—not god-demon; humans suffering.
Yun Qiangu marveled.
Distant returning Wanbao grave—this arrow... strong!
Guarding depths—knew starry events.
Heard human prodigy arrow-slayed Wood—surprised.
Thought strong—never this.
Humans risen truly.
This Lu Ping'an?
Wretched scream from black hole—flame flecked; Fire Emperor will unwilling, terrified!
"Lu Ping'an—you truly kill us all!"
Fire shrieked.
"You kill me Lu Ping'an—can't I kill you?"
Lu laughed.
Step—casual starry stroll; hand seized flame.
Flame twisted Fire face.
"Spare us—we block gate apocalypse!"
Fire said.
"Lu Ping'an... tied to gate!"
"Wood said—slaying him; gate behind you!"
"You marked by beyond! Follow our fate eventually!"
Fire shrieked.
But Lu indifferent.
Pinched—erased Fire will.
Fire fallen!
Boom!
Starry sky apocalyptic again—blood stars meteoric; deafening roars.
God-demons countless—drained; even Heavenly Gods.
Despair sudden.
Thought clan decisive war.
Became god-demon doomsday.
Five emperors—three fallen; horrifying.
Starry countless races trembled—awe.
Humans undisputed Primordial overlords; first race.
Boom!
Time flowed.
Starry sky blood flowed; countless wails.
Heavens collapsed; galaxies surged.
Blood theme.
Phenomena frequent—mysteries returning primal...
Gold and Earth Emperors...
Fallen too.
In humans' new ancestral Five Phoenixes.
Starry races marveled—emerged hidden.
Tidied—prepared visit newest overlords.
Before humans dominant—but emperors lived; throne unsteady.
Now humans slayed five.
Throne rock-solid.
Time indicate stance—before human armies at ancestral lands; late.
Henceforth starry sky—god-demons irredeemable.
...
Five Phoenixes starry sky.
Dead silent.
Vast death qi permeated—five emperors' fall influence.
Lu purple robes fluttering—indifferent.
Around: five consciousness-erased emperor foundations floated.
Red flame clump, crystal water drop, wood branch, mud clump, gold stone.
Five elements origins.
Each peerless treasure—forge supreme artifacts.
Lu erased consciousness—kept foundations.
Good stuff.
Slayed god-demon emperors—Lu ceased Indestructible Demon Body.
Step back—blades stacked Thousand-Bladed Chair.
Sat—purple to white; elegant immortal.
Gentle smile.
Flicked finger.
Red flame to Bai Qingniao.
"Emperor fire origin foundation—master well; digest inheritance."
Bai Qingniao grasped—eyes bright.
"Thank you Young Master Lu."
Lu turned—pushed gently.
Water drop to Kong Nanfei—grinning widely.
"Thanks Young Master Lu."
Lu nodded—flicked; branch to Sima Qingshan.
Gold stone and mud to Nie Changqing and Overlord.
Divided—Lu smiled.
"Inheritances your fortune—but greater starry crisis ahead; needs your effort. Digest; reach—even surpass beast ancestor; chance survival."
Serious nods.
Lu to Yun Qiangu, Tonggu Saint, Lu Jiulian, Zhu Long.
"Wood's corpse processed long ago; others supreme treasures—divide yourselves."
Laughed.
Yun Qiangu stroked beard.
Spoils division.
Foundations to inheritors—best.
Corpses too—no modesty.
Tonggu embarrassed—did nothing; free emperor corpse.
But embarrassed or not—wouldn't yield.
Divided—Lu turned emperor fall sites to cultivation holy lands.
Will storms tempered primordial spirit and will—aid human will cultivation.
Tool person handling—Lu professional.
Handled—rest no need Lu.
Luo Yang, Chai Feng—Quasi-Saints led armies out Ninth Heaven.
"Gold, wood, water, fire, earth—five god-demon emperors all slain in human ancestral land. Henceforth Primordial Starry Sky—no god-demon emperors!"
Luo Yang fire-tipped spear—stern.
Deep hatred for aggressors.
Words shocked myriad races.
"Kill!"
Ignored fleeing despairing god-demons.
Human armies charged like waves—pursued.
God-demons routed.
Lost contention capital utterly.
God-demon era—closed.
...
Five Phoenixes Continent.
Lake island.
Breeze gentle; peach blossoms drifted.
Lake rippled brilliantly—spring rain on pond; circles.
Pavilion.
Lu seated.
Wanbao Saint, Yun Qiangu, Black-White Queen sat.
Atmosphere not tense—no killing intent.
Emperors' fall regrettable to Black-White—but unconcerned; seen many chaos fall per era end.
Beast ancestors stronger than her—fallen too.
Merely five emperors.
"You truly shouldn't have killed them—chaos-tiers useful."
Black-White elegantly sipped; long legs crossed; swirled wine.
Yun Qiangu and Wanbao smiled mildly—silent.
Lu shook head: "Pointless now."
"Cleaned—purer air."
"Queen—without god-demon emperors; air sweeter?"
Laughed.
Black-White rolled eyes.
Petty.
"And not just temper."
Next—mind stirred.
Imprisoned Preaching Platform Water, Gold, Earth Elemental Gods' primordial spirits emerged.
Three appeared pavilion.
Stunned—then ecstatic.
Free?!
But scene: Black-White, two human Saints, Lu...
Chaos auras—terrifying.
Escape?
Four watching—billion miles headstart; recaptured.
Impossible.
"Hm?"
Black-White surprised—rumored dead Elemental Gods alive.
Lu's labor force.
"Tell them—emperors' schemes."
Lu spring breeze.
But to Elemental Gods—nightmare.
Water Elemental God trembled—spoke first.
Vaguely outlined emperors' plan—knew little.
"Now clear? Emperors plotting—so killed; clean."
Laughed.
Black-White silent.
Yun Qiangu and Wanbao exchanged—unexpected.
All focused gate—emperors planned betrayal.
Though vague—inferable.
"Fine..."
Black-White shook head.
"Lost five—impact; but five beast inheritors offset. Crisis graver than prior eras."
Suddenly eyes on Lu.
"Before—Fire said battling Wood; gate behind you?"
Words—Yun Qiangu and Wanbao focused.
Heard too.
Lu smile faded.
Pondered.
Because... truly unaware.
Gate behind?
"Unknown—true or false..."
No concealment.
"But beast inheritances emerged—gate appeared; knocked."
Words—Black-White etc. grave, astonished.
Lu finished—recalled something.
Mind stirred—fourteenth layer reward; emperors interrupted earlier.
Though prompted—now check.
"Skyscrapers rise from ground—congratulations fourteenth Qi Refining; solid step hyper-fantasy world."
"Reward issued—claim."
Prompt appeared.
Lu narrowed eyes.
Curious—fourteenth reward; thirteenth perfected Indestructible Demon Body.
Mind stirred.
Panel emerged.
Scanned rewards.
Fourteenth reward... quietly there.
But astonished Lu.
Because...
Fourteenth reward... a key.
