A boundless sea of blood surged and spread across the skies. The crimson in Soul Heaven Emperor's eyes deepened visibly at that moment. After staring each other down for a long time, he suddenly took a fierce step forward.
"Boom!"
As his foot landed, the entire sky trembled violently. The surging sea of blood roared and churned, transforming into a towering tidal wave tens of thousands of meters high that rolled violently toward Qian Renhan.
"Slash."
Facing the colossal blood wave, Qian Renhan raised the Asura Sword high. The sword burst forth with intense blood-red light. As it slashed downward, the sword light split the blood wave cleanly in two as if slicing tofu. The powerful sword intent erupted, shredding the divided blood wave into countless particles of blood-colored dust that scattered across the Central Continent below.
Any living being touched by this blood dust was instantly pulverized into a mist of blood, crushed by the residual power of two Dou Emperors.
When gods clash, mortals suffer. That single exchange between Qian Renhan and the Soul Heaven Emperor instantly wiped out tens of millions of lives. Countless sects and families were annihilated, and the Central Continent was dyed red with blood.
Yet even after having his full-force attack neutralized, Soul Heaven Emperor neither raged nor panicked. Instead, a faint smile curled at the corners of his lips. He raised a finger toward the blood-colored clouds that shrouded the sky. As he pointed, the blood clouds began to squirm violently like a massive living organ—then suddenly contracted inward with force.
"Blood Demon Soul-Corrupting Thunder!"
Tens of thousands of meter-long spatial rifts tore open across the sky. In the next instant, the blood cloud exploded outward. Countless bolts of blood-colored thunder, each as massive as a mountain, descended like a torrential storm. Each bolt was saturated with malevolence and resentment, capable of corrupting the soul of anyone it struck.
"Child's play. Resentment and malice? They're my finest nourishment."
Black mist gathered. Endless grievances condensed and wrapped around Qian Renhan, causing his body to swell dramatically. In mere moments, he transformed into a towering black giant tens of thousands of meters tall. Black light rapidly condensed over his form, morphing into a layer of blood-red armor that fully encased his massive body. With a casual punch, this giant could raze vast swathes of the Central Continent.
"Dark Emperor Form!"
The black giant opened his mouth wide, releasing a terrifying suction force that swallowed all of the Soul Heaven Emperor's blood-colored lightning bolts into his belly.
"Burp!"
The black giant let out a satisfied belch, then looked down at the Soul Heaven Emperor and said, "Is that all? Give me some more."
"A Dou Emperor body, huh? Hahaha! Then let's see whether my Blood Emperor Form is stronger than your Dark Emperor Form!"
With a deep breath, Soul Heaven Emperor's expression turned solemn. He opened his mouth wide, and a massive suction force erupted. The blood clouds filling the Central Continent's skies transformed into blood light and surged into his mouth. Even the blood from the ten-thousand-meter blood pool in the Soul Realm, along with the blood of the countless creatures slain by the battle between four Dou Emperors, was all drawn into him.
As the immense blood energy was devoured, his body also swelled rapidly. In a flash, he transformed into a towering blood-red giant tens of thousands of meters tall. Blood light condensed over his frame, forming a thick layer of blood-colored armor that fully encased him.
In terms of sheer size, Soul Heaven Emperor's Blood Emperor Form was even larger than Qian Renhan's Dark Emperor Form.
"Hahaha! Qian Renhan, you never expected this, did you? By harnessing the blood of countless lives, let's see how you'll defeat me this time!"
With a cold laugh, the Soul Heaven Emperor stepped forward, bringing thunder and storm in his wake. He threw a seemingly casual punch toward Qian Renhan. Instantly, the sky collapsed, and the shockwave was powerful enough to shred even a Nine-Star Dou Saint—truly terrifying.
Seeing the attack head-on, Qian Renhan didn't dodge. Instead, he countered with a punch of his own. His black fist, charged with blood-colored thunder, smashed forward with immense force.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Their battle sent shockwaves sweeping across all five continents. Each clash between these towering behemoths—measuring tens of thousands of meters tall—was like the explosion of a miniature star. The violent melee not only delivered a visual impact unlike anything ever seen, but for those watching, the next second could be their last.
"So this is a Dou Emperor!"
The lesser gods from the Divine Realm, who had never witnessed such battles, stared wide-eyed at the repeatedly shattered and reformed sky. Their pupils dilated, and they dared not even blink. Compared to the destruction caused by divine forms a few hundred meters tall, what unfolded before them was a battle of nukes against ants.
Zhukong had no need for a so-called Emperor Form—his original form was already that size. But Gu Yuan looked awkward in comparison. While Soul Heaven Emperor drew on blood and Qian Renhan drew on resentment, he had nothing to gather, with the other three siphoning all the energy of heaven and earth.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a rift spanning hundreds of thousands of meters tore open in the void. A blood-colored giant descended, landing on the Central Continent and immediately creating two massive basins with its feet.
It was the Soul Heaven Emperor. Compared to the beginning of the battle, his size had shrunk by one-third.
The void tore open again, and another black giant descended—this one now coiled with blood-colored dragons, formed from the blood energy he had stolen from Soul Heaven Emperor.
The black giant lifted a foot and slowly walked toward the Soul Heaven Emperor.
"Soul Heaven Emperor, can you no longer fight? If that's the case, you should become nourishment!"
"Hmph! If I weren't at a disadvantage in terms of power, would my Blood Emperor Form fear your Dark Emperor Form?"
Soul Heaven Emperor's gaze swept over the Central Continent below. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand, and a brilliant blood beam shot down, piercing into the ground. To everyone's horror, countless blood rays spread outward from the point of impact like lightning—becoming like the very veins of the continent.
"Qian Renhan, I didn't want it to come to this—but you've brought it upon yourself. Today, I will bury you with all the lives of the Central Continent!"
"Soul-Devouring Extermination Formation!"
Soul Heaven Emperor's Blood Emperor Form crumbled, its energy dissipating rapidly. The Central Continent split apart. Black beams of light erupted everywhere, and wherever they passed, all life was instantly reduced to blood. Except for a few people hidden within the Starfall Pavilion's array, billions of lives across the continent were wiped out by Soul Heaven Emperor.
As the blood sea surged into the formation, a strange glow suddenly flickered within it. Blood light condensed to the extreme and, under countless stunned gazes, transformed into a massive, transparent blood blade filled with overwhelming bloodlust.
The blood blade was eerie and had no hilt. Blood light swirled around it as if it could cut even the heavens and earth in half.
"Hahahaha! This Soul-Devouring Extermination Formation and the Central Continent's lives were originally meant to mature the proto-Emperor Pill for my breakthrough into Dou Emperor. I never expected I'd end up using it on you today."
