Chapter 1759: Taking On The Wicked Path

*Boom!~*

A sharp claw stretched from the shadows of the void, encased in pitch-black energy as it struck out, clashing with the scarlet halberd of the Blood World Emperor. It created a spatial fissure in an instant, sucking in the debris.

However, even before their attacks could hit, an aura of immense soul suppression overbearing weighed on the Blood World Emperor, making his attack a bit weaker than it should be. That slight difference inevitably caused him to be sent flying by Nadia's claws the moment their attacks struck while she also whipped him with her dark tail!

On the other hand, while Davis used his soul suppression technique to suppress the Blood World Emperor, it universally stretched out and caught the Infernal Lightning Emperor, Spatial Blight Emperor, and the Deprived Soulstir Emperor in its suppression before equally overpowering them.

However, with their Legacy Artifacts revolving with the immense energy of music and lightning ready to be unleashed, they used that to break free from his soul suppression, all but one wicked path hegemon, the Spatial Blight Emperor who seemed to be using a wine cup for a Legacy Artifact of unknown nature.

"Didn't you feel grateful to me for killing your bastard son?"

The Spatial Blight Emperor's heart shook as he could feel that the Emperor of Death suddenly appeared behind him. His figure flickered as it traveled through the void before he appeared a few kilometers away in the distance amidst the wicked path powerhouses.

However, when he turned to look at his right arm, he saw that it was missing from the elbow along with his Legacy Artifact!

"Bastard!!!"

He turned around and saw Davis currently in possession of his forearm while currently being extinguished by the death energy.

"You're so weak, Spatial Blight Emperor, yet you dared to offend me?"

Davis couldn't help but scoff.

The other party was a Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse as well, but, with his bodily prowess that almost reached Peak-Level Martial Overlord Stage, Davis was able to rip off his arm in addition to using Death Ray on the Spatial Blight Emperor.

It missed his dantian and instead put a terrifying hole on Spatial Blight Emperor's right elbow, which he then snapped with a pull of his arm before the latter could escape, taking the Legacy Artifact along with it. Nevertheless, looking at the trembling wine cup, Davis knew that it was unwilling to be held by him, nor was it willing to submit.

It tried to escape from his grasp as it swelled up with poison, but Davis's eyes suddenly narrowed as he could see the severed forearm bulge. His hand practically swung in an instant as he threw it towards the Infernal Lightning Emperor, who was currently being held back by Nadia.

The arm quickly molded with the wine cup as though it was being absorbed before it burst with an intense amount of poison, boiling with hatred as the wine cup flew towards a crimson-robed person.

"What!?"

Nadia instantly retreated as she was warned by Davis mentally, but the hegemon she was fighting did not understand why the magical beast that had quite the advantage over him would suddenly retreat when he suddenly found poisonous energy that should be from an ally coming his way.

But instead of targeting the wicked wolf, it targeted him!

*Splash!~*

"Ahhh!!! Spatial Blight Emperor! I will kill you!!!"

Infernal Lightning Emperor screamed as he became drenched in the Spatial Blight Emperor's poison while the latter's expression became ugly. He had to sacrifice his forearm, a bit of his blood essence, to his Legacy Artifact in an attempt to poison the Emperor of Death to death, but he ended up poisoning the Infernal Lightning Emperor instead!

However, the Infernal Lightning Emperor's body began to crackle with an enormous amount of infernal lightning. The crimson staff in his hands also reverberated with a thunderous might, its resonance echoing like a clap of thunder before the Infernal Lightning Emperor struck himself on his belly.

At the same time, his body began to overflow with extreme infernal energy, appearing to have extinguished the poison that had just entered his body as he spat a mouthful of contaminated blood and repeatedly did so.

"Sacrificing one's arm to kill their opponent? Striking oneself with overbearing energy to extinguish the foreign energy from both sides? The wicked path is quite ruthless to themselves indeed..."

Davis had a calm yet mocking expression on his face. He turned his head and saw that Ancestor Cornelia was impeding the Deprived Soulstir Emperor along with his soul suppression from using all his strength, for if he was left alone, he would be able to kill all the disciples and elders with his music alone.

The others were also more than capable, but they were already being held back by Nadia and him. Nevertheless, they were still outnumbered by the wicked path, and a chance would appear for them sneakily strike the disciples and elders if they kept dragging this out.

Davis raised his hand and pointed at the Infernal Lightning Emperor, causing the latter's eyes to narrow before he instantly retreated. However, Davis didn't unleash a Death Ray but spoke as his lips moved.

"Eldia, kill him."

A black crackling globular lightning burst out from his body as it flew towards the Infernal Lightning Emperor, who hastily moved backward. The latter was startled to see a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental whose cultivation base seemed to be violently approaching him at the Peak-Level Ninth Stage. However, his lips curved as a mocking expression appeared on his face.

"A mere third-ranked Emperor Grade Lightning Elemental dares to attack me?"

He furiously laughed and spun the crimson staff in his hand. Red-colored strands of infernal lightning gathered around him and boosted his Legacy Artifact, making it crackle with intense oppressive undulations.

As the crimson staff came to a stop at a high point above, the Infernal Lightning Emperor struck down at the Lightning Elemental that neared him.

*Bang!~*

An oppressive, thick bolt of black lightning burst out from the globular lightning ball and struck against the staff, canceling out each other as a tear opened in space. However, the Infernal Lightning Emperor's eyes went wide as he was pushed two steps back.

His eyes narrowed as he stared at the Purgatory Extinction Lightning, reassessing while throwing a swing at it again, wanting to bash its globular body and erase its will. However, a thick bolt of lightning abruptly shot again, swiftly canceling out his attack as it sent him back, retreating three steps this time!

"This... how is this Lightning Elemental able to match my prowess!!!?"

The Infernal Lightning Emperor's desire and confidence left, replaced with shock as he wasn't able to understand how this Purgatory Extinction Lightning was able to reach his prowess that was above a level from the Peak-Level of Ninth Stage.

He had erased the wills of so many Lightning Elementals and even two weaker Purgatory Extinction Lightnings, yet it was his first time facing a Peak-Level Emperor Grade Purgatory Extinction Lightning that was this overbearing!

'Of course, Eldia refined a sizeable strand of heavenly tribulation lightning. If she couldn't beat you, then even she herself might become ashamed...'

At the moment Eldia clashed with the Infernal Lightning Emperor and overwhelmed him, Davis chuckled and turned to look at the Spatial Blight Emperor, who stopped in his tracks from approaching them.

"This way, we have one for each. Let's kill each other as we like, okay?"

"Emperor of Death, you will regret this...!"

The Spatial Blight Emperor's voice echoed with rage, appearing like he was about to leave as he collected his wine cup back after it spilled out with poison.

Davis merely shook his head before he took a step forward, approaching the Spatial Blight Emperor. The distance between them shortened by a large margin each time Davis took a step forward.

In the distance, the Blood World Emperor narrowed his eyes as he held his scarlet halberd in his hand. He knew that he was the strongest, but the wicked wolf managed to catch him off-guard and struck him with her claw at the same time her tail came whipping at him, sending him flying towards the distance.

He was about to return to the battle but was held back by the wicked wolf again, who seemed to have changed her opponent from the Infernal Lightning Emperor to him.

From then on, he was continuously suppressed by her overbearing attack filled with the difficult to extinguish death energy. Even his own blood energy that toppled many energies seemed to have met its menace and repeatedly lost against it.

If it weren't for that he was caught off-guard, he was of the thought that they wouldn't have lost their advantage. At the same time, the stifling feeling of continually being pushed back made him immensely vexed as he struck out with his Legacy Artifact's ability.

"Halberd Devours The West!"

He spun towards the left as his scarlet halberd's blade reached plenty of rotations before he unleashed his halberd at Nadia, wanting to split her apart. However, Nadia's claws encased in death energy reached out again, stopping the halberd's advance as she grasped it when a shower of blood scattered over, her nails cracking a bit from taking on the bloody prowess of the halberd before her tail struck out.

"Break!"

The veins on the Blood World Emperor became crimson and bulged as though it was going to explode before he successfully parried Nadia's claws, dodging the tail that missed his head by a few inches as he retreated before exchanging space-tearing attacks a few more times as they left fractures in the distance.

By this time, Davis checked that the only person he needed to worry about was Ancestor Cornelia, who was facing the Deprived Soulstir Emperor. He kept an eye on her while he arrived in front of the Spatial Blight Emperor, who seemed to have already gone back into his army of powerhouses and experts.

'Although Ancestor Cornelia can somewhat hold her own against the Deprived Soulstir Emperor without her Legacy Treasures because of her powerful soul that disallows the latter from swiftly killing her, my soul suppression on the Deprived Soulstir Emperor should still aid her for some more time...'

Davis mused as he stood in front of the weakest hegemon of the four.

"Guess it's time that you follow your bastard son's footsteps, Spatial Blight Emperor."
