Chapter 1577 The Scaled Whip Shatters the Heavenly Punishment

The hissing sound coming from the depths of chaos grew closer and closer. It wasn't the sharp sound of space shattering, but rather the rough sound of an ancient beast gnawing at the laws, carrying an unadorned savagery and ferocity.

The seven Heavenly Emperors in their purple-gold armor felt their hair stand on end; for the first time, they realized that their "prediction had failed."

The perception network constructed by the laws of divine punishment and slaughter could not detect the trajectory of this anomaly at all, as if the other party had transcended time and space and descended directly from the "wild past" to this moment.

The next instant, a dark brown whip-like shadow tore through the void and appeared above the Heavenly Punishment Cage.

This whip is a thousand feet long, and its body is covered with scales the size of millstones. These scales are not metal or jade, but rather resemble the armor of an ancient ferocious beast.

The dark brown surface is covered with scratches of varying depths, some of which are gaps left from gnawing on the chaotic crystal, and others are claw marks from fighting with its own kind. Each mark carries the weight of time.

The scales have serrated edges and shimmer with a dark golden cold light, which is the sharpness of the solidified primordial liquid. In the center of the whip, there is a fist-sized dark golden 'primordial bead' every hundred feet. Inside the bead is a swirling chaotic energy, and within the energy, the phantom of an unknown ancient ferocious beast can be vaguely seen roaring.

Even more terrifying was the aura emanating from the whip—a pure 'savage pressure,' devoid of any legal embellishment, containing only the most primal power.

As soon as this oppressive aura appeared, the star gems on the seven purple-gold Heavenly Emperor battle armors began to flash violently, and the primordial laws flowing within the nine gems began to "retreat," as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

The Heavenly Punishment Blade on the Heavenly Punishment Cage had dimmed by half, and the law patterns on the blade had undergone subtle "degeneration," transforming from refined Heavenly Punishment runes into a rough energy blade.

"What is this?!"

The leader, the Purple-Gold Heavenly Emperor, suddenly narrowed his eyes and abruptly withdrew his hand, which was stretched out in mid-air. He subconsciously activated his armor for defense, as he could feel that the whip carried a savage power that restrained the laws of order.

But it's too late!
The speed of the scale whip surpassed the limits of time and space. The whip tail was like an ancient giant python that had come to life, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the chaos, and it first lashed towards the Heavenly Punishment Cage.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound reverberated through the chaos, without any earth-shattering roar, only the creaking sound of laws shattering.

The Heavenly Punishment Blade on the Heavenly Punishment Cage shattered like glass. The cage walls, composed of Heavenly Punishment Laws, were scraped by the scales of the whip, instantly transforming from condensed laws into chaotic energy mist. Even the frozen space around the cage walls began to melt.

Wang Xian leaned against Ao Ming's dragon body, feeling the aftershocks of the shattered cage, his eyes filled with astonishment—the chaotic body within him had awakened on its own, emitting a faint resonance, as if echoing the savage aura on the scale whip.

Having broken free of its cage, the scale whip did not pause. It twisted violently, and the nine Savage Pearls simultaneously erupted with dark golden light, sweeping towards the seven Purple Gold Heavenly Emperors.

The seven Heavenly Emperors only reacted at this moment, and they all activated their armor and weapons to defend themselves.

The leading Heavenly Emperor raised his spear, the tip of which condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long purple-gold Heavenly Punishment Blade. To his left, the Heavenly Emperor's battle sword blocked the attack, its blade wrapped with analytical laws. To his right, the Heavenly Emperor's giant axe swept across, unleashing a killing slash that tore through space.

The other four Heavenly Emperors simultaneously activated the Star Gems, and the nine gems emitted purple-gold beams of light, weaving into a "Great Net of Laws" in an attempt to trap the Scale Whip.

"clang--!"

The moment the scale whip collided with the Heavenly Punishment Blade, dark golden primordial liquid seeped from the scales, and the purple-gold laws on the Heavenly Punishment Blade began to melt rapidly, like ice and snow encountering raging fire.

The Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group, felt a violent force coming from the shaft of the spear. His arm bones made a crisp "crack" sound, and he was thrown backward. A deep gap, revealing the bone, appeared in the shoulder armor of his purple-gold battle armor, and golden blood gushed out from the gap.

At the same time, the whip's tail swept across the analytical battle blade, and the ancient, barbaric script on the scales burst forth with light, instantly "contaminating" the runes of the analytical laws.

The originally transparent runes turned dark gold, lost their analytical ability, and instead began to devour the Heavenly Emperor's essence.

The Heavenly Emperor on the left let out a muffled groan, his battle sword flew out of his hand, and his palm was shattered into a bloody mess by the backlash.

The giant axe that came crashing down was in even worse shape. The scale whip wrapped around the axe blade, and the chaotic energy from the Savage Pearl surged into the axe. The law of slaughter was forcibly twisted into a "Savage Turbulent Flow," and the blade of the giant axe began to shatter.

The Heavenly Emperor on the right was flung away by the whip and crashed into the Chaos Crystal in the distance. The crystal shattered with a bang, and he spat out a mouthful of golden primordial blood. He struggled for a long time but was unable to get up.

The remaining four Heavenly Emperors' net of laws had just been formed when it was struck by the Savage Pearl of the Scale Whip. The purple-gold laws at the mesh of the net instantly collapsed, and the net shattered like a rag. The four Heavenly Emperors were simultaneously thrown back by the aftershocks, and three of the star gems on their armor dimmed.

In the blink of an eye, the seven Heavenly Emperors in purple-gold armor were forced to retreat by an unclaimed scale whip. Each of them was injured, and their previous arrogance and indifference vanished, replaced by disbelief, shock, and anger.

"Bastard! How dare you hurt us!"

The Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group, steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with killing intent. "Join forces and shatter it!"

The seven Purple Gold Heavenly Emperors quickly adjusted their formation, surrounding the Scale Whip in the center.

The Heavenly Emperor's spear, at the head of the spear, pointed directly at the Scale Whip. The Heavenly Punishment Blade at the tip of the spear re-condensed, this time wrapped with nine golden "Heavenly Punishment Chains"—the stronger laws he obtained by burning the essence of a star gem.

The Heavenly Emperor on the left picked up the battle sword. The analytical laws of the sword merged with his own origin, and the blade became translucent. Hundreds of millions of tiny "analysis runes" appeared on it, each rune corresponding to a formula for dismantling a primordial power.

The killing law on the giant axe of the Heavenly Emperor on the right surged, and the phantom of the "Slaughtering Giant God" appeared on the axe blade. The giant god held the giant axe and exuded an aura of world destruction.

The other four Heavenly Emperors stood at the corners of the formation, activating the remaining Star Gems. The six gems emitted purple-gold beams of light, which condensed into a "Purple-Gold Heavenly Punishment Shield" above the heads of the seven people. Ancient runes were engraved on the surface of the shield, which were special runes targeting the power of the barbaric wilderness.

"kill!"

The Heavenly Emperor, who was in charge, launched the first attack, thrusting out his spear and the Heavenly Punishment Chains coiling around the scale whip like venomous snakes, attempting to lock the whip's body.

The Heavenly Emperor's Battle Blade on the left swept horizontally, its analytical runes transforming into countless transparent blades of light that slashed towards the gaps in the scales of the Scale Whip.

The Heavenly Emperor's giant axe on the right cleaved down, and the phantom of the Killing Giant God swung his axe at the same time. The two giant axe strikes overlapped, forming a "killing storm" with a diameter of ten thousand feet. Countless killing blades spun in the storm, and even the chaotic air was shattered into fragments.

As if possessing its own consciousness, the scale whip suddenly tightened when attacked from three sides, and the nine Savage Beads exploded simultaneously, turning the dark golden Savage Origin Liquid into a "Savage Torrent".

Countless phantom images of ancient ferocious beasts emerged from the torrent.

There were giant crocodiles gnawing at stars, rocs tearing through chaos, and giant elephants trampling on the laws. Although these phantoms were merely condensations of energy, they carried a real, savage pressure, causing the laws of the seven Heavenly Emperors to momentarily stagnate.

"Snapped!"

The scale whip lashed out at the leading Heavenly Emperor, its blade wrapping around the Heavenly Punishment Chains. The ancient, barbaric script on the scales collided with the Heavenly Punishment runes on the chains. The barbaric primordial liquid gushing from the ancient script acted like a corrosive agent, causing the Heavenly Punishment Chains to dim at a visible speed, the gold on the chains beginning to fade to dark gray.

Immediately afterward, the whip's tail lashed out at the leading Heavenly Emperor's chest. The serrated scales sliced ​​through his purple-gold armor, causing the star-shaped gems on it to crack with a "crack," and golden blood spurted out. The leading Heavenly Emperor was sent flying again, this time with a dent in his chest, his internal organs severely damaged. At the same time, the middle section of the scale whip wrapped around the left Heavenly Emperor's sword. The Savage Origin Liquid seeped into the blade, and the runes, upon encountering the Savage Origin Liquid, instantly changed from transparent to dark gold, losing their ability to dismantle. Instead, they began to backfire on the left Heavenly Emperor's essence.

The Heavenly Emperor on the left let out a shrill wail, his battle sword slipped from his hand, and the skin on his palm began to fester. The laws of analysis were rampaging wildly within his body, causing him to writhe in pain within the chaos.

Facing the killing storm from the Heavenly Emperor on the right, the tip of the Scale Whip pierced into the center of the storm. The chaotic energy from the Savage Pearl collided with the killing blades, and the killing blades in the storm were swallowed up by the chaotic energy, turning into formless energy mist.

The whip continued forward, piercing directly at the phantom of the God of Slaughter. The phantom let out a resentful roar and shattered under the erosion of the Savage Origin Liquid. The Heavenly Emperor on the right was forced to retreat repeatedly by the backlash, and half of the killing law on the giant axe dimmed, with countless tiny cracks appearing on the axe blade.

Upon seeing this, the four Heavenly Emperors at the corner of the formation hurriedly activated the Purple-Gold Heavenly Punishment Shield. The ancient runes on the shield surface burst forth with light, and a purple-gold beam of light shot towards Scale Whip.

The pillar of light contained the laws that restrained the wildness, attempting to freeze the origin of the Scale Whip.

But the whip's body twisted violently, and countless scales fell off, transforming into a dark golden "wild blade".

The blades collided with the purple-gold pillar of light, tearing the pillar apart. The Savage Blades continued forward, striking the Purple-Gold Heavenly Punishment Shield, instantly creating countless cracks on its surface.

The four Heavenly Emperors simultaneously spat out golden blood, and the formation at the corner of the array instantly collapsed.

In the short span of half an incense stick's time, the seven Purple Gold Heavenly Emperors were once again at a disadvantage.

They lay in chaos, each bearing severe injuries.

The leading Heavenly Emperor had a dent in his chest, two of his Star Gems were broken, the palm of the Heavenly Emperor on the left was festering and the laws of analysis were disordered, and the giant axe of the Heavenly Emperor on the right was shattered and the laws of slaughter were damaged.

The four Heavenly Emperors at the corner of the formation trembled, their purple-gold armor cracked.

For the first time, fear appeared in their eyes as they stared at the scaled whip that writhed and twisted nimbly in the chaos.

This whip, brimming with primal energy, was even stronger than the seven of them combined!

"This can't go on! This thing counters our Heavenly Punishment Law!"

The Heavenly Emperor, who was at the head of the group, struggled to his feet, a resolute glint in his eyes. "Use the 'Heavenly Punishment Purple Gold Array'! Burn the remaining star gems and set up an absolute killing array!"

"The Burning Star Gem? That's our very essence!"

The Heavenly Emperor on the left exclaimed in alarm, "The Star Gems are the core of their power. Burning even one will damage their foundation. If they burn all the remaining ones, they will probably fall from a higher realm after the battle."

"Do you want to be whipped to death by this barbaric whip?!" the leading Heavenly Emperor roared. "Either burn the gems to create an array to shatter the whip, or be killed by it! Choose one!"

The seven Heavenly Emperors exchanged glances, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes.

"Good! Burn the gems! Set up the Heavenly Punishment Purple Gold Array!"

The seven Purple Gold Heavenly Emperors simultaneously raised their hands and placed them on the remaining star gems on their battle armor.

"boom!"

Seven golden flames erupted from the gem, as if they were burning their own essence.

The primordial laws within the Star Gem merged with its own divine punishment power, transforming into golden "array patterns" that intertwined in the chaos to form a massive purple-gold array.

The core of the formation consists of seven Heavenly Emperors, each standing at the position of the Big Dipper. Burning star gems float above their heads, forming seven golden "core stars".

The array patterns are woven from the laws of heavenly punishment and the laws of slaughter. Each array pattern shimmers with purple-gold light and is engraved with the ancient seal script "Heavenly Punishment and Annihilation".

At the center of the formation, as the source energy burned, a towering "Golden Heavenly Punishment Giant God" slowly condensed.

The giant was clad in the same purple-gold armor as them, with nine pairs of Heavenly Punishment Wings spreading from his back. He held a ten-thousand-foot-long "Heavenly Punishment Purple-Gold Spear" in his hand, the tip of which was wreathed in golden flames of world destruction. Nine chains of law were wrapped around his body, each chain corresponding to a law.

This is the ultimate killing formation of the seven Purple Gold Heavenly Emperors—the Heavenly Punishment Purple Gold Formation!

At the cost of burning Star Gems and the essence of Heavenly Punishment, an embodiment of "Heavenly Punishment Will" was formed, specifically targeting powerful enemies beyond the norm.

"Heavenly Punishment Purple Gold Formation - Slay the Barbarians!"

The Heavenly Emperor, who was in the lead, roared. The seven of them formed hand seals at the same time. The Purple-Gold Heavenly Punishment Giant God raised the Heavenly Punishment Purple-Gold Spear, and the world-destroying flames at the tip of the spear surged ten thousand feet, stabbing towards the Scale Whip.

Along the trajectory of the spear tip, the chaotic airflow was directly vaporized, and a black 'law vacuum zone' appeared in space.

All the primal energy that encountered this vacuum zone was forcibly annihilated.

Sensing a deadly threat, the scale whip trembled violently, and all the remaining scales exploded, transforming the primordial liquid into a phantom of a "primordial python".

The giant python was tens of thousands of feet long, its body covered with dark golden scales, and it had a spiral "wild horn" on its head, which was engraved with ancient ferocious beast totems.

The giant python opened its massive mouth and spewed out a dark golden "wild breath".

The breath contained countless tiny, primal blades, heading straight for the Heavenly Punishment Purple-Gold Spear.

"boom--!"

The moment the Savage Breath clashed with the Heavenly Punishment Purple Gold Spear, it was as if a chaotic bomb had been dropped into the chaotic void.

The dark golden primordial liquid and the golden divine punishment flames annihilated each other, creating an energy storm with a diameter of one million feet.

Countless fragments of Dao Laws flew in the storm, including ancient seal script, heavenly punishment runes, and killing blades. Each fragment could easily kill a 'Tenth-Rank Immortal Emperor'.

Ao Ming below hurriedly used his black dragon body to protect Wang Xian, large pieces of dragon scales fell off, and golden dragon blood stained Wang Xian's body red.

The Blood Fiend Emperor's blood sea phantom was nearly half evaporated by the storm, and countless spatial rifts appeared in the blood torrent.

The storm of vengeful spirits from the Ghost Emperor completely dissipated, leaving only a few vengeful spirits hiding under Ao Ming's dragon scales, barely clinging to life.
