夜幕低垂，長安城的燈火漸次熄滅，一片寧靜。然而在這看似平靜的表面下，卻暗藏著洶涌的暗流。

陸濤，一個在世間的武皇強者，正坐在一間室之中，他的眼神深邃而復雜。他的心中有一個算盤，一個充滿野心和的算盤。

“周璟瑜啊周璟瑜，你若能為我手中的一把刀，那我陸濤將能越這階層的桎梏，一躍為真正的大帝！”陸濤低語，聲音中帶著一狠辣。

他的眼中閃過一決然，隨即stations his head. "And when that happens, I'll be able to draw an Emperor-level lottery again! At that time, I'll definitely turn the table in my favor!"

陸濤 turned to his shadow assassin, "Yin Mo, can you use your shadow arts to instantly transmit and kill Zhou Linglong?"

Yin Mo, a master of shadow, had the ability to traverse the shadows with ease. Now, wouldn't it be possible for her to transmit and slay Zhou Linglong directly?

"Master, are you asking me to kill Zhou Linglong directly?"

However, before Yin Mo could respond, the black-robed men suddenly moved.

"A kill..." A cold, decisive command echoed from their lips.

A resounding rumble filled the air as twelve great emperors unleashed their awe-inspiring power. The sky was darkened by brewing clouds, and the air was thick with the essence of destruction.

Twelve streams of devastating force showered down upon the city, their might as overwhelming as an overflowing tide, sweeping through the eight directions and the six realms.

"Honk!"

An almighty explosion resounded within Chang'an, and a shockwave of colossal force, ruthless and unchecked, tore through the city, obliterating buildings and homes like paper.

The mere aura emitted by these great emperors was enough to disintegrate the civilians huddled within their houses into a mist of blood and flesh.

The might of a great emperor was terrifying indeed.

Faced with the swift approach of the twelve great emperors, Xu Zhu and the others did not shrink in their resolve.

"Protect the master at all costs!"

"Brothers, let's go!"

Six great emperors from the ranks of Lu Yuan unleashed their formidable auras, each facing down a black-robed man.

The Shadow Guards, Dragon Riders, Yan Yun Eighteen Knights, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the Ironclad Army condensed their respective war spirits, facing the remaining five black-robed men.

But even so... there was still one left!

"What about the last one? What should we do next? The master is not a match for a great emperor!"

The great emperors among them were well aware of the situation. To ask the master, a war monarch, to face a great emperor... was akin to sending a rope to hang a monkey.

"And now, there is only one Li Sandao by the master's side!"

But Li Sandao... he was only a saint of war!

Now, all the strength under the command of Lu Yuan had been dispatched. Although there was still Li Sandao, a warrior of war, he was hopelessly outmatched against a great emperor.

"Terrible... I can have this matter settled in half a stick of incense time!"

At this moment, the strongest great emperor under Lu Yuan's command, Xu Huang, pounded his palm in frustration.

The enemy was formidable, but under his full-force attacks, the enemy's great emperor could only withstand for half a stick of incense time!

Indeed, time was the sovereignty of space.

Even if they were both at the peak of the great emperor realm, Xu Huang was among the absolutely powerful.

But now, it was clear that not even half a stick of incense time had passed!

Just at this moment, Li Sandao, who had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Master, you should go deal with Zhou Linglong first, and I will hold this great emperor at bay!"

Li Sandao's expression was resolute as he drew out his ancient, long sword.

"Li Sandao, what are you doing...."

Seeing Li Sandao stepping forward to block his path, even though he knew that a tiny warrior of war facing a great emperor was like a grasshopper trying to stop a rolling boulder, Li Sandao was determined to buy him a sliver of hope in his death.

Hearing his words, Lu Yuan ground his teeth. He knew that now was the time for no delay. Li Sandao was buying him time with his own life.

"Alright!"

"Li Sandao, trust me! Don't fight back alone!"

"I will bring help to you in a few moments!"

Lu Yuan ground his teeth as he spoke. Now, with Yin Mo being held back, there was only one option left.

He had to go to kill Zhou Linglong!

If he could slay the Empress Zhou Linglong, he would gain a massive amount of yuan power. Once that happened, he would be able to draw another Emperor-level lottery!

Then, with the yuan power he gained, he would be able to summon a great emperor or a warrior with the power of a great emperor.

Lu Yuan gave Li Sandao one last, piercing look before he left in accordance with the information Yin Mo had provided him.

"Li Sandao, I'll come to your aid!"

Not far away, Xu Huang shouted and waved his hand, conjuring a dense space restraint upon the black-robed man.

At least, give him a debuff before we start fighting!

The others saw this and joined in.

"Li Sandao, we'll help you as best we can!"

"Underworld Devouring Heart!"

"Blue Cloud's Descent!"

...

很快, under the combined efforts of the group, the black-robed man's aura was significantly diminished. Yet, from the aura that showed through, he still possessed the strength of a half-emperor at his peak.

"Li Sandao, that's all we can do for you now!"

The others shouted as they exerted themselves to their limit, helping to hold back the black-robed man.

Now that they had helped Li Sandao with their powerful moves, they themselves were under greater pressure from their enemies.

"Thank you all..."

Li Sandao said silently. Then, he opened his space ring, revealing a stash of high-level pills that could drastically boost his cultivation.

Li Sandao inserted them, without a trace of emotion, into his mouth.

"Li Sandao..."

Lu Yuan watched, his eyes wide with horror. Such a crude ingestion would certainly leave Li Sandao with dire side effects even if he survived the battle.

......

"Fight!"

The powerful warriors from both sides clashed immediately, each eager to resolve the conflict swiftly.

For both sides, the goal was to eliminate the other quickly.

Thus, their battle was intensely fierce.

Millions of miles of空虛 were shattered by the violent clashes. The massive void cracks engulfs Chang'an City and even extended to a million miles around.

As for the civilians within Chang'an City...

They were the most unlucky of all!

Not only could they not escape the destruction of the void chaos, but they also had to endure the residual wave of the great emperor battle.

The once prosperous Chang'an City was now reduced to a pile of ruins!
