Battle Through the Heavens: Harmony of Flame and Shadow

Ren Mozu clenched his fist and stared malevolently at the Battle Emperor, speaking grimly, "What arrogance. Now that we three are injured, even maintaining our Supreme Avatars is difficult. But I still have a million war spirits. How will you stop me?"

The Battle Emperor sat cross-legged on the Emperor Avatar, his gaze coldly observing the two. Though his complexion was pale, and less than one-tenth of his spiritual power remained, causing even his Body Avatar to struggle for support, he remained highly spirited, ready to launch another assault any second.

"Why do you think we brothers are called Ren Mozu and Di Mozu?" Di Mozu sneered, a sinister smile forming on his face that chilled the onlookers.

"Could it be..." In the distance, Qing Yan Jing's face changed dramatically as if she had realized something.

"Not good!" While you could say the Battle Emperor had a penchant for beauty, questioning his combat intuition was a mistake. What Qing Yan Jing had thought of, he had naturally sensed as well.

"War Spirit Blood Sacrifice!" Acting decisively, he stomped his foot and bit his fingertip, drawing blood. He formed a strange blood mark in the air, accompanied by a low voice.

As his words fell, the legions in the three lightball spaces behind the Emperor Avatar abruptly slapped their chests, spewing endless blood into the air. These blood sprays ignited, transforming into surging spiritual power that penetrated space, fusing entirely into the Battle Emperor.

"Boom!" Coupled with this blood essence, the Battle Emperor's previously waning condition skyrocketed in an instant, returning him to his peak in a moment.

The spiritual power roared, reverberating like thunder, cascading from his body like a torrent and causing the space to tremble.

"Kill!" The Battle Emperor's eyes were cold as he stared at Ren Mozu and Di Mozu, the vast and overwhelming spiritual power whirling around him. His long howl filled with killing intent echoed throughout the realm.

"It's too late!" "Heavenly Demon Descent!" Simultaneously, Ren Mozu and Di Mozu let out a long howl, their demonic energy surging wildly into the shadows behind them. To their astonishment, the two shadows began to merge rapidly.

"Roar!" A terrifying demonic howl sounded as the newly formed shadow's cultivation skyrocketed, crossing the Demon Emperor barrier and reaching the Heavenly Supreme Realm. While this wasn't a true Heavenly Supreme state without a Heavenly Supreme Body and other features, it still overshadowed any non-Heavenly Supremes.

"Great Demon Slayer!" A deep and profound black gleam was slashed from the demonic figure, radiating an intense, world-ending aura. Where the gleam passed, life withered, all creations perished, and the spiritual power scattered in the heavens seemed to be erased.

"Hiss~~~" The Battle Emperor gasped as he felt the terrifying sharpness. Forming seals with his hands, majestic golden light surged from him like golden suns.

"Buzz" The golden suns converged into a massive golden cauldron inscribed with countless figures resembling elite troops, mingling with faint sounds of battle.

"Unbeatable War God Cauldron!" With the Battle Emperor's low growl, the golden cauldron pressed down on the shadow, as if to suppress this world.

"This is the peerless divine ability of the War Emperor's legacy. Even with the strength of a Heavenly Supreme, you will be suppressed." "Suppress!" "Boom!" The sharp edge clashed with the cauldron, and the terrifying demonic energy consumed it entirely. In the Battle Emperor's disbelieving gaze, the countless figures on the cauldron faded away.

Wherever the demonic energy passed, the golden brilliance melted away like snow under the sun.

"Boom~~~" The golden cauldron shattered, and so did the Battle Emperor's Avatar.

An endless flood of divine light swept across the sky, dissipating into countless light particles. A figure fell powerlessly, leaving a human-shaped crater on the ground.

"Jiejiejie, what's an ancient War Emperor compared to our master, Zhan Tian!" Watching the defeated Battle Emperor, Ren Mozu and Di Mozu laughed heartily. They moved toward him, cautious despite their words. Though they had won narrowly, another round could swing either way. A talented hero like the Battle Emperor needed to be eliminated to remove future threats.

"Buzz!!!" Suddenly, a humming echoed across the sky. They turned to see Qing Yan Jing, who had fallen earlier, standing shakily. Her eyes were filled with countless lines of light, forming profound spiritual seals.

"Boom!" In a moment, the space above Ren Mozu and Di Mozu twisted, creating a vast array covering the space.

"Jiejie, I forgot the beauty is also a peerless talent. Since you've recovered, you should flee instead of resisting!" Di Mozu sneered, showing no concern about being trapped in the array.

"Miss..." The Battle Emperor, astonished by Qing Yan Jing's actions, felt his heart stir.

"Buzz" Qing Yan Jing didn't reply, but expressed her resolve through action. Her face calm, she flicked her slender fingers.

"Nine Dragon Water Spirit Array!" As spiritual rivers surged, she changed her seals, creating profound array diagrams.

"Roar!!!" With dragon roars echoing, nine massive water dragons rushed towards Ren Mozu and Di Mozu.

"Boom!!!" Nine small black handprints shot out, shattering the water dragons effortlessly into mist.

"Your array seems weak, my dear!" Ren Mozu chuckled, moving towards Qing Yan Jing with immense demonic energy.

"Is that so?" Qing Yan Jing's eyes grew cold. Her slender fingers danced in dazzling seals, as the shattered water dragons transformed into myriad spiritual seals that fused into two enormous black water arrays.

The arrays formed water prisons, enveloping Di Mozu and Ren Mozu and trapping them at the deepest points, preventing them from using their demonic avatars. They would need time to break through with their own strength.

"You must go. I can't hold them long. Seek out the Crimson Flame Guards. These intruders have a significant plot on Crimson Flame Continent. The temple must be informed." Despite maintaining the array, Qing Yan Jing urged the Battle Emperor to leave.

"But you..." The Battle Emperor hesitated, unwilling to abandon Qing Yan Jing.

"Go!" Qing Yan Jing's tone turned icy as he hesitated.

Reluctantly, the Battle Emperor glanced at her, gathered his remaining energy, and dashed away as a streak of light.

"Now, it's your turn!" After seeing him depart, Qing Yan Jing's eyes filled with determination. She had accepted her fate.

As the black water array neared breaking, Qing Yan Jing swiftly altered her seals, her cold voice echoing.

"Flame Emperor Array!" "Boom!" The space shifted from water to lava, as a massive crimson shadow emerged, resembling an ancient, monstrous being from a volcano.

The shadow was enormous, breathing forth fiery waves that warped space. Qing Yan Jing had switched between opposing spiritual arrays instantly, showcasing her unmatched talent. This innate skill in array formation distinguished her among the top in the Great Thousand World.

"Roar!" The Flame Emperor shadow roared and launched a fierce attack on Ren Mozu and Di Mozu.

The powerful condensed spiritual energy in its fists held earth-shattering force, crashing towards them like fiery waves.

"Well, well, well..." Ren Mozu sneered. "Who knew you had such abilities? It seems we've underestimated you. If the Battle Emperor escaped, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"Little brother, no mercy. Capture her. The bloodline of the Futuo Ancient Clan will birth the most terrifying evil spirits!"

Having just broken the black water array, the brothers sneered at Qing Yan Jing as they prepared for battle.

"Heavenly Demon Slash!" They lunged at the Flame Emperor shadow, clashing violently. The impact shook the massive array.

As the fierce escalation continued, it became apparent Qing Yan Jing was struggling, her injuries taking their toll. The Flame Emperor shadow weakened, retreating from their relentless assault.

"Boom!" Another punch clashed, and the Flame Emperor Shadow shattered under Di Mozu's laughter.

"Pfft" Qing Yan Jing spat blood, collapsing to the ground.

"Jiejiejie, persistent little beauty. Though the Battle Emperor escaped, we will bring him back. He can't hide on Crimson Flame Continent without being caught eventually."

Ren Mozu approached Qing Yan Jing, a sick smile forming as he anticipated tearing apart her veils to unveil her saintly form.

"Curious?" He teased.

"Yes, I shall tell you why," he said, lustfully advancing.

"I'm also very curious. Mind telling me?"
