Chapter 1083: Shattering the Void, the Evil Emperor Falls

The Evil Emperor’s sudden acceleration and silent attacks were so fast that they caught everyone off guard. The naked eye could hardly keep up with his movement speed, and his attacks were silent and left no trace—even Happy was greatly surprised.

However, though such close-range attacks could evade human vision, they couldn’t hide from spiritual perception. When danger struck, Happy quickly adopted his dragon form and skillfully avoided the Evil Emperor’s fierce strike…

As the afterimage left behind was pierced, Happy keenly sensed the moment the Evil Emperor slightly grasped the air—a terrifyingly powerful force seemed to shatter the void with a “crack” sound. His expression changed instantly as he sensed a powerful sucking force rising abruptly from the spot where the void had shattered—this force even surpassed the effect of the Dragon Seizing Hand.

Being so close, Happy quickly realized his body was being pulled toward the swirling void. In panic, he reflexively swung his sword.

Whoosh!!!

An unknown fear emanated from the vortex caused by the shattered void, far more intense than when facing the Peak Strength Yin Queen and Evil King. Happy felt that if pulled in, his vital energy field might not last long at all. Without hesitation, he activated Wind Filling the Sky.

Boom!!!

His internal energy was drawn out. The Black Iron Heavy Sword, with its fierce and devastating momentum, silently struck the swirling void vortex…

At that moment, Happy finally saw the Evil Emperor behind the vortex—those eyes filled with brutality and malice, his pale face, and his slightly trembling body. In his palm was a piece of the shattered void, glowing darkly; his hand was covered in blood, but it remained intact thanks to a demonic glow. That glowing black fragment was the source of all the danger.

Clearly, this attack, with its near-“void-shattering” power, had drained most of the Evil Emperor’s internal energy and vital essence, leaving him unable to control the vortex’s direction.

The sword energy of the Black Iron Heavy Sword struck the void vortex silently. The light attached to the sword was instantly destroyed, breaking apart into its most primitive particles, which violently rushed into the vortex…

In that instant, Happy clearly saw the vortex seem to shrink by a circle—within a short moment, it appeared to have fragmented into many pieces!

The void vortex had not yet completely shattered. Although its powerful sucking force had diminished somewhat, the speed at which Happy was pulled away remained largely unchanged.
A sinister smirk, along with the cold satisfaction of a scheme succeeding, finally appeared on the Evil Emperor’s lips.
But just then—
An astonishing amount of power suddenly erupted from the black iron great sword out of nowhere! It rushed into the void vortex in the Evil Emperor’s hand at an even faster pace… Countless sword energy particles poured into that void at twice the previous rate!
The fractured void shrank and vanished even faster due to this sudden surge of violent power…
In an instant, the void vortex, which had been the size of a fist, was reduced to less than the size of a finger.
By the time Happy’s chest collided with the Evil Emperor, his dense vital energy field quickly turned into particles…
Yet to the Evil Emperor’s fury, the vital energy field disintegrated slowly, while the void vortex shrank rapidly. By the time less than one-third of the vital energy field had vanished, the vortex in the Evil Emperor’s hand had completely disappeared. His bloody palm lay weakly on Happy’s chest…
…Even the ultimate technique of a master at the level of “Wind Filling the Sky” failed to completely counter the Evil Emperor’s strike. Happy watched helplessly as he collided with the still-threatening void vortex. Thinking he was done for, he was surprised that his vital energy field seemed stronger than the sword energy particles, having only been evaporated by one-third.
The unprecedented crisis surrounding him vanished suddenly…
The powerful sucking force disappeared overnight;
Happy’s body trembled, as if his soul had returned to his body and he had been reborn!
But…
At such a moment, Happy had no intention of wasting time in stupor. With a smirk, he cast a teasing glance at the Evil Emperor and his severely damaged arm:
“No wonder you didn’t use this ultimate move in our previous battles. It seems not only does it consume a great deal of internal energy, but it also has a backlash effect… Truly, it’s the supreme magic technique of the demonic sect…” As he spoke, Happy reached out and grabbed the Evil Emperor’s hand pressing on his chest. “This move is indeed powerful, but it’s a pity.”
“You’re not yet capable of controlling it.”
Before his words faded, a violent force rushed into the latter’s body with ease.
“Ugh!”
The Evil Emperor, already weakened and no longer a threat due to the backlash of his magic technique, suffered further damage. With a groan, black blood spilled from the corners of his lips.
“Damn it…”

Showing weakness in front of the enemy was the first time for the Evil Emperor. Intense anger and shame made him almost burn up; his eyes turned red as he stared intently at Happy. “I fell for your trick this time, but next time, you won’t be so lucky!”
“Next time?”
Happy’s smile faded. “Good! I’ll wait for you! But next time you meet me, you’ll have to wait until a week later when you’re released from our Central Plains’ prison. By then, I should have reached the Wuwei realm. Are you sure you can still win, rather than dying in my hands once again like now?”
“……”
Just as the Evil Emperor was about to say something, Happy didn’t give him a chance to retort. His other arm suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.
Crack!
He applied force without hesitation!
Under the astonished gazes of the martial artists from the Central Plains and the excited, trembling eyes of the crowd, the Evil Emperor’s head slumped lifelessly.
Boom!!!!
Immediately after,
Without even glancing at him again, Happy took the equipment from the Evil Emperor and threw his body into the distance…
Bang!!
The almost invincible might of the Evil Emperor was finally utterly shattered. His once-great image now turned into a blurred corpse before everyone’s eyes.
At the moment he discarded the body, even Happy couldn’t help but feel confused…
It worked…
“Did I kill the Evil Emperor?”
Happy turned away, looking at his hand that had crushed the Evil Emperor’s neck with disbelief and self-mockery…
“……”
There was complete silence for several seconds behind him, then thunderous cheers and shouts surged like waves, almost knocking Happy over!
“The Evil Emperor is dead!!”
“Haha……”
“The Evil Emperor is dead! Happy killed the Evil Emperor!!!”
“Roar!!!”
“We don’t have to run anymore! We really don’t have to run anymore!!!” The sudden shift from hell to heaven caused the members of both factions to let out hysterical screams and shouts in unison. They rushed around in the wilderness, faces red and throats thick, spreading the news.
It was then that Happy realized that the crowd, who should have fled quickly, hadn’t even had time to leave yet—the battle was already over.
It was too fast!
Because of his series of provocations earlier, the Evil Emperor was forced to resort to a desperate, self-destructive move.
Thinking of this, Happy suddenly shuddered.
The power of that move was truly extraordinary!
If not for the Evil Emperor’s difficulty in controlling it, and if he hadn’t used Wind Filling the Sky without hesitation in that critical moment, things could have turned out very differently.

Thinking of this, Kai Xin still felt a chill rise in his neck despite his happiness…
Once the Evil Emperor died, he would only be locked in the dungeon for seven days; if it were himself, he would lose his life in just a month!
“Luck, just luck.”
As Kai Xin repeated these words of luck, he noticed hundreds of people rushing over, all looking at him with excited expressions.
But thanks to the human skin mask, neither the sweat on his face nor his palpitations were visible.
“What are you standing around for? Break free and get out of here!”
Kai Xin snapped at them sternly.
The group was shocked:
“Oh.”
“Yes!”
They seemed to wake up from a dream.
Just as they were about to run, Kai Xin called out again:
“Back here!”
Frowning, he ordered, “Send a message to your leader using homing pigeons. Tell him what’s happening here so he doesn’t need to chase after the People’s First Hall anymore. Come back and break free with us to the Netherworld!” Only then did he remember that not much time had passed, so Ji Feng and the others should be fine.
“Understood!”
The group became extremely excited, turning around to salute, but were scared back by Kai Xin’s icy gaze.
“A bunch of arrogant fools.”
Kai Xin rolled his eyes. Suddenly, he had an idea and sent a message to Mei Ying to ask how things were on her end.
She replied quickly:
“Everything’s normal. Although Meng Yun launched a counterattack, we defended using the plan we made earlier. The situation is okay, with few casualties so far. The People’s First Hall has lost over a dozen top experts, all at the hands of One Emperor. Why do you seem so idle? Did something happen over there?”
“Over here?”
Kai Xin froze for a moment before laughing and replying, “There’s indeed a small issue. I believe Meng Yun will find out soon and will withdraw her troops immediately.”
“How do you know?”
Mei Ying’s reply became intriguing: “They really withdrew! The People’s First Hall, the Blood Alliance, and the twelve gangs in the capital—all have left! What exactly happened?”
“Fast indeed.”
Kai Xin rubbed his forehead.
Meng Yun was truly meticulous in her actions. With the Evil Emperor just dead, she had already withdrawn her troops quickly, likely not wanting to give them any chance to counterattack—once they pursued too far, and he and One Emperor led the Xifeng Tower’s men to launch a counterattack, without the Evil Emperor in charge, the People’s First Hall would surely suffer heavy losses. Maybe they could even turn the situation around in the capital!
Thinking of this, Kai Xin couldn’t help but sigh.
Seven days!
The next seven days would likely be the toughest for the People’s First Hall since they gained power… Without the Evil Emperor in charge.

Hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital can intimidate others, but not Happiness. Thinking of this, Happiness pondered for a while before couldn’t help but send a message to the Emperor: “The Evil Emperor is dead. The First-Class Hall dares not stop the Phantom from moving south anymore. Are you interested in pulling off a heist?”
