Chapter 1818 Getting Close
The Dragon Emperor felt pressured as beasts from all around the battlefield started targeting him with attacks that were too strong for him to ignore.
They were thankfully far away that he could dodge the attacks instead of having to deal with all of them, but to dodge everything was all but impossible.
So, he had to constantly fight back other attacks while fighting against Yan Yating at the same time. He started worrying a little that if he didn't focus in the battle enough, he would take a hit from a stray Immortal attack and instantly die.
Thankfully, due to having been an alchemist for thousands and thousands of years, the Dragon Emperor had learned ages ago to split his concentration into multiple things at once.
Focusing on everything at the same time was difficult, but not impossible due to that.
The Dragon Emperor pulled out a talisman from his storage ring and threw it to his left. A glow of energy burst out from the talisman, instantly forming a shield next to him that could protect him from either 2 or 3 Immortal attacks.
On the other side, he applied his Dao of Space Expansion to expand space to the point that the attacks simply didn't land on him as they were meant to.
He then created a cage of lightning around him on the left side, protecting him from the attacks from that very side.
Finally, he sent out a burst of lightning attacks that split into many smaller tendrils of lightning bolts that struck almost all of the remaining attacks that came for him, including the one that Yan Yating used on him.
Two attacks landed on the shield formed from the talisman and was destroyed. The Emperor immediately replaced it with something else to protect himself.
He didn't have many treasures to protect himself from Immortal attacks. The strongest one he did have, he had used it already to protect himself against the attack from the Immortal in the Central Continent.
Now, he was running out of it all.
'If things continue like this, I will lose,' the Dragon Emperor realized and the truth of his impending doom became real to him for the first time.
Hatred filled him at that very moment. 'It's alright,' he thought. 'I just have to kill them all.'

The many blood beasts flew back to Alex. Of the 300 that he had sent out, only 130 had returned. Most of the beasts ended up dying in the battle due to their lack of versatility when it came to fighting.
The one that he was saddened the most to see die had been the blood beast formed of the great 6 winged feathered Wyrm, which he had killed on his first journey to the Eastern Continent.
Yao Ning had been the one that had weakened the beast and he had killed it. As a beast in Saint Transformation's 5th realm, it had been one of the strongest Blood Beasts he had, and now they were no more.
The blood beasts flew into his Blood God's Manual, disappearing under the eyes of everyone that surrounded him.
Since the active elders were busy attacking the Emperor as everyone else, Graham was alone in being the one to deal with the immediate aftermath of the war.
Liz appeared a while later, watching the spectacle before her with wide eyes. Long Huan followed her and stared at his father as well.
"He's still not dead?" Long Huan asked.
"Huan!" Hannah immediately took him into a hug, holding his head tightly. "I heard what happened. I'm so sorry."
Long Huan felt the tears coming back once again and held tightly onto his wife.
Liz walked up to Alex. "What's going on? How is he still alive when the war is over?" she asked in disbelief. She had very much expected the Dragon Emperor to die by this point.
"We're working toward it," Alex said. "We just have to wait a little longer."
They stared at the sky patiently. After a while, it was clear to them that it was time.

The Dragon Emperor took out a giant metallic plate that appeared on the emperor's side, immediately defending him against one of the attacks.
The other attacks were dealt with by him.
'Dammit!' the Dragon Emperor thought. He had run out of every protective measure and was now just one step away from using everything.
He didn't want to use the very last thing as he wanted to wait for what he would have to do once he used it, but he was being forced closer and closer to it.
He threw out another attack, sending tendrils of lightning all around him, exploding all the incoming attacks at once.
What nobody understood was that the Dragon Emperor had not just converted part of his Qi into Immortal Qi through the Immortal pill. He had converted all of his Qi.
So, he had a lot more to use than what people imagined. And he could tell that Yan Yating had almost run out.
He focused on the 7 incoming attacks and sent out another attack, while also targeting Yan Yating at the same time.
Suddenly space trembled around the Dragon Emperor and Zhou Linfan teleported right next to him with his sword ready to swing.
As reflected in the sword, the Dragon Emperor could see his demise.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
