The voice of the Ruthless Great Emperor, carrying eternal longing and unwavering devotion, resounded throughout the boundless chaos.
Hong Yi stopped moving.
The pages of the I Ching behind him stopped turning, and the world constructed from infinite principles also came to a standstill.
He looked at the woman opposite him, dressed in white as snow and wearing a bronze mask, and sighed softly, "I have deduced your destiny, your obsession, which spans the past, present, and future, all for the sake of finding him."
"Your world, after all, has its limitations."
"My Qin Realm connects to all the heavens and is vast and boundless. If you are willing, I can use the Book of Changes as a basis to deduce all similar causal lines in all the heavens and myriad worlds and lock in his reincarnation."
"He may no longer be in your world, but in another universe, he may have just begun his life."
"I can take you to see him."
Upon hearing these words, the Ruthless Great Emperor swayed slightly.
Go see him...
This is her only obsession throughout her spiritual practice.
Not to become an immortal, but only to wait for your return in the mortal world.
This sentence, which has resonated throughout the universe, encapsulates the sorrow and suffering of her entire life.
And now, hope is right before our eyes.
...
boom!!!
But at that moment...
On the other side of chaos, violent energy exploded once again.
Ye Fan's figure was once again cleaved away by Pangu's axe, and the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron let out a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden, and the cracks on the cauldron wall increased even more.
Golden imperial blood was spilled across the chaos.
The axe wound on his chest was so deep that the bone was visible, almost splitting him in two.
"Those!"
Ye Fan roared inwardly, activating the Nine Secrets, and his boundless life essence surged wildly, repairing the terrifying injury.
However, his recovery speed was far from keeping up with the frequency of Zhao Feng's attacks.
Holding the Pangu Axe, Zhao Feng walked step by step through the chaos, each step causing this space-time to collapse.
His aura did not weaken in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even more intense and fiery.
"Give up, Ye Fan." Zhao Feng's voice was calm, filled with boundless confidence. "The gap between us cannot be bridged by willpower alone."
The figure of the Great Emperor Wushi appeared beside Ye Fan and said in a deep voice, "His physical body is strange. Every attack cannot cause him any fundamental damage."
They all noticed.
The power within Zhao Feng's body, the physical structure composed of countless particles, is inexhaustible and nearly indestructible.
Unless it can be completely obliterated into nothingness in an instant.
otherwise.
Any injury is meaningless to him.
But how easy is it to obliterate such a supreme ruler who wields the axe that opens the heavens?
"kill!"
Ye Fan didn't waste any words; his response to Zhao Feng was an even more ferocious attack.
He activated "Transformation of Others" again, and several Daoist figures appeared, charging towards Zhao Feng fearlessly.
"Using this trick again? Aren't you tired of it?"
Zhao Feng snorted coldly and casually swung the Pangu Axe in his hand.
*Sizzle!*
A heaven-splitting axe-like light swept across the land.
Those newly formed Dao bodies couldn't even last a moment before being severed by the axe light, turning into a shower of light that dissipated into nothingness.
"puff!"
Ye Fan's true form was affected and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
despair.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in my heart.
Is defeat truly inevitable?
The enemy is simply too strong.
So powerful that even Ye Fan, the Heavenly Emperor, had the illusion that he was invincible.
And just at this critical moment...
A clear, cold howl rang out from the other end of the battlefield!
"war!"
The Ruthless Great Emperor moved. "My brother is important, but my friends are equally indispensable!"
The moment she saw Ye Fan and Wu Shi trapped in a desperate situation, she made her choice.
She was willing to stand against the whole world for her brother.
They might even give up this once-in-a-lifetime hope for the sake of their comrades-in-arms!
boom!!!
An aura more than ten times more violent than before erupted from her body!
White robes fluttered in the breeze, and black hair flew in the wind.
The bronze mask on her face shattered inch by inch, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face, yet filled with endless sorrow and resolute determination.
"With a single thought, a flower blooms, and the ruler reigns supreme!"
Endless Dao runes emanated from her body, transforming into a dazzling rain of flowers.
Each crystal-clear petal instantly transforms into the figure of a ruthless emperor.
Thousands upon thousands of ruthless emperors, each with an overwhelming aura and icy eyes, simultaneously unleashed their most powerful attack on Hong Yi!
Flying Immortal Technique!
Thousands of beams of light converged into a destructive torrent, as if to tear the entire world of reason to shreds, shatter the path to immortality, and sever all cause and effect!
Hong Yi's expression finally changed.
He never expected that this woman would make such a choice.
He never expected this.
After she severed her greatest obsession, her combat power was elevated to such an extent!
Hong Yi dared not be negligent.
He formed a mudra with his hands, and the pages of the I Ching behind him flipped rapidly.
"Change is the essence of change!"
"If I were the sky, I would cover all things!"
"If I were the earth, I would bear everything!"
He completely merged with the world of reason behind him, transforming into a true nascent universe containing all things in heaven and earth, and stood against the destructive torrent that was powerful enough to slay immortals and destroy emperors!
Rumble! ...
The collision of the two supreme forces completely reduced that area to nothingness.
On the other side.
Zhao Feng was not surprised at all.
If the Ruthless Great Emperor were so easily persuaded, she wouldn't be a ruthless person!
He held nothing back, raising the Pangu Axe high in his hand, the power of earth, water, fire and wind flowing on the blade, as if to reopen this chaos.
Ye Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
He could sense that he couldn't dodge or block this axe blow!
The Heavenly Emperor Cauldron was groaning violently, and the phantom images of all living beings on its body began to collapse on their own under the pressure of this will to create the world!
At the critical moment, Emperor Wushi intervened once again.
He merged the two broken pieces of the Beginningless Bell into one, and at that moment poured all the fruits of his Dao and the essence of life into it.
clang!!!
A distant bell, seemingly from eternity ago, resounded through the chaos.
An immense power, capable of freezing time and solidifying space, spread out.
Zhao Feng, along with the Pangu Axe in his hand, was affected by the power of time.
It was as if time had slowed down a billion times.
So much so that his movements were almost frozen in mid-air.
"Now!"
Ye Fan seized this fleeting opportunity.
"Nine secrets unite as one, the six paths revolve, and the Heavenly Emperor descends to earth!"
He possessed all his own Tao and Dharma.
All secret arts and supernatural powers.
Everything is melted down into one furnace!
He merged with the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron, transforming into a golden light.
Within that light, it seemed as if six ancient worlds were rising and falling, and an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor was ruling over all eternity!
However.
Just as Ye Fan was about to unleash his most powerful attack...
A sudden change has occurred!
Buzz!
A strong sense of weakness spread throughout his body without warning.
His connection with this universe is rapidly weakening!
The power within him is rapidly dissipating!
It wasn't just him.
The Great Emperor Wushi, who was standing to the side, and the Ruthless Great Emperor, who was fighting fiercely with Hong Yi in the distance, both felt the same change.
Their power comes from this world.
And now.
This world is "dying".
Ye Fan suddenly looked up, piercing through the endless chaos, and gazed at the universe that gave him birth and nurtured him.
The dazzling Milky Way was visibly dimming.
One after another, ancient stars, once vibrant with life, lost all their brilliance and transformed into lifeless, silent stars.
Under Wang Jian's command, the Qin army has completely wiped out all resistance from the human realm.
Countless ferocious dragon-headed warships formed massive arrays spanning star fields, deeply embedded in the origin of this world, frantically drawing upon its power!
The Immortal Realm of Shrouding the Heavens.
This supreme place, which once required breaking through an ancient barrier to enter.
At this moment, the doors were wide open.
The massive and ferocious figures of the Twelve Ancestral Witches charged in first.
When Zhurong opened his mouth, he spewed out the divine fire of the heavens, which could incinerate all things.
When Gonggong unleashed his punch, it was the Boundless Weak Water that engulfed the Star Sea.
Di Jun and Tai Yi transformed into two golden suns, hanging high above the Immortal Realm. The Hetu and Luoshu were unfurled, and the Zhou Tian Star Array enveloped the entire Immortal Realm, refining all living beings and laws within it.
Within the Immortal Realm, powerful beings at the Immortal King and Quasi-Emperor levels roared as they charged out, determined to fight the invaders to the death.
However.
They faced the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Demon Emperor Jun, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou...
Every minute, every second, a massive amount of the world's origin is plundered and devoured.
In the chaotic sea.
The celestial being, composed of light and laws, let out a mournful cry of resentment.
Its body was rapidly becoming illusory, and the divine chains of order that constituted its body were breaking and dissipating one by one.
The world's origin was taken away, and it, the collective entity of this world's will, was the first to suffer the backlash.
"No!"
The embodiment of the Heavenly Dao let out its final roar.
It transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards Zhao Feng recklessly, wanting to deliver the heaviest blow to the enemy before dissipating.
"Noisy".
Zhao Feng didn't even turn around.
He simply swung the Pangu Axe in the back of his hand.
The stream of light was easily cleaved in two, transforming into a shower of pure, primordial light that dissipated into chaos.
The Way of Heaven has collapsed!
With the complete demise of the Heavenly Dao incarnation, the sense of weakness felt by Ye Fan and the others became even stronger.
They are like trees uprooted from the ground, withering away rapidly.
Zhao Feng turned around, looked at Ye Fan whose breath was extremely weak, and said indifferently, "It's over."
He raised the Pangu Axe in his hand once more and brought it down with a fierce chop.
Buzzing...
With a single axe strike, the heavens and earth, space and time, and everything else trembled violently.
Ye Fan was startled.
He wanted to rebel.
However, the power within his body could not be gathered no matter what.
It's over.
Seriously, it's all over.
The gentleness of Ji Ziyue flashed through his mind, as did the figures of his close friends, such as Pang Bo and Li Heishui...
He was unwilling to accept it!
"Aaaaaah!"
Driven by the threat of death, Ye Fan's potential was unleashed.
The golden holy blood within his body began to spontaneously combust!
boom!
He forcefully broke free from the will of the Pangu Axe and struggled to hold the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron in front of him!
boom!!!
The axe and the cauldron collided solidly.
Click!
A crisp sound.
The Heavenly Emperor's Cauldron.
This artifact, which embodies Ye Fan's life's path and gathers the faith of billions of people, was split in two by the Pangu Axe!
The terrifying axe force pierced through the broken cauldron and slammed into Ye Fan's body.
puff!
Ye Fan's body, like a fallen leaf, was thrown far away, leaving a poignant golden blood streak in the chaos.
His life force was rapidly slipping away.
"Ye Fan!"
Emperor Wushi's eyes widened in fury, and he was about to rush forward to rescue them.
But Zhao Feng's figure appeared like a ghost, blocking his way.
The Pangu Axe in his hand swung down at him once more.
clang!!!
The shattered, timeless bell willingly met the axe blade that split the heavens and the earth.
This time, it failed to create another miracle.
The already cracked bell exploded under the sharp edge of Pangu's axe, turning into countless fragments.
The axe's momentum remained undiminished, aimed straight at the body of the Primordial Emperor!
"Time and space reverse, all laws return to their origin!"
At the critical moment of life and death, the Great Emperor Wushi pushed his own Great Dao to its limit.
The space-time around him began to flow backward and collapse in a way that defied common sense, attempting to return the axe blow that had struck him to its origin.
However.
Faced with absolute power, all skills seem pale and powerless.
With a single sweep of the power of earth, water, fire, and wind from the Pangu Axe, the chaotic spacetime was forcibly smoothed out.
Pfft!
A line of blood started from the forehead of the Great Emperor Wushi and spread all the way to his lower abdomen.
His imposing imperial body froze in place.
Then.
Under Zhao Feng's indifferent gaze, it was split in two from the middle.
Another human emperor has fallen!
After doing all this, Zhao Feng didn't even glance at Wu Shi's corpse again.
He turned around and looked toward the other side of the chaos.
There, the battle between the Ruthless Great Emperor and Hong Yi was also nearing its end.
Without the blessing of the world's origin, the Ruthless Great Emperor's combat power plummeted.
Those myriad incarnations had long been obliterated by Hong Yi's world of principles.
She held a celestial sword formed from Daoist runes, her white robes stained with blood, her aura weak, yet she still stood firmly in front of Hong Yi, preventing him from getting any closer to Ye Fan.
Hong Yi sighed softly, "Why bother?"
The pages of the I Ching behind him shone brightly, transforming into chains of reason that bound the Ruthless Great Emperor tightly.
That concludes the discussion.
The three most powerful figures in the world of Shrouding the Heavens have all been defeated!
Holding the Pangu Axe, Zhao Feng walked step by step into the depths of chaos.
There, Ye Fan's aura had become extremely weak, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.
His sacred body was almost shattered.
His soul was also riddled with cracks.
His instrument of enlightenment was destroyed, the origin of the world was severed, and he was like a lamp running out of oil.
Even so, his eyes still shone.
Those golden eyes were fixed on Zhao Feng as he approached, filled with defiance and anger.
Zhao Feng stopped in front of Ye Fan, looking down at him, and raised the Pangu Axe in his hand. "I'll ask you one more time: surrender, or death?"
However.
Just as the axe blade was about to fall.
Ye Fan laughed, "You think... this is the end? In my entire life, Ye Fan... I have never admitted defeat!" (End of Chapter)
