Chapter 540: Five Element Luminaries
“Nine Heavens Emperor!” Demon Emperor Redraco roared as he slashed down at Tianyi.
Even though Demon Empress Bluefeather had sacrificed herself, the injuries on the Nine Heavens Emperor’s body were not as severe as the ones he suffered when he received the Five Element Annihilation. Demon Emperor Redraco knew he couldn’t give his foe a chance to breathe. Otherwise, he would escape and her sacrifice would be for naught.
His claws slashed the immortal emperor’s form. However, they only widened the opened wounds slightly. Simultaneously, black mist-like qi flew out and stuck onto his claws. With his Realm Dragon Scales, the corrosive qi could do nothing but adhere to his claws, but it slightly increased the consumption of his qi.
If only he had been the one to scope out the situation instead of Demon Empress Bluefeather. Even if he had fallen into a trap, his realm artifact would have protected him. Even if the Nine Heavens Emperor ignored him and went after the demon empress in the distance, it would allow him to keep the Metal Source Talons instead of losing it again.
However, there were no what-ifs. What’s done was done.
He grabbed the Nine Heavens Emperor in his grasp just as the latter was slowly merging with the void. Energy radiated from his Realm Dragon Scales, interfering with the immortal emperor’s manipulation of spacetime. Then, he opened his jaws and released his dragon breath, engulfing his hands along with his enemy.
The Scarletblood Dragon’s blood breath blew away most of the immortal qi of primordial chaos lingering on his claws, but a tiny amount remained entrenched, like maggots gnawing on bone. Still, the demon emperor didn’t care and focused on his hated foe.
The Nine Heavens Emperor was still in his clutches, injured, but still struggling. Although he tried to escape, Demon Emperor Redraco kept his grip. How could a human’s pure power exceed a demon’s, especially a true dragon?
Although Demon Emperor Redraco couldn’t crush the Nine Heavens Emperor to death with his hand alone, it was enough to keep him trapped. With his free hand, the demon emperor clashed and attacked the immortal emperor, whittling away at his body.
