Chapter 418
by fanqienovelChapter 418: Tianxuan Realm Shattered, Ye Xu Breaks Through
"In accordance with His Majesty’s edict, White Emperor and Dark Emperor have committed treason and shall be executed immediately."
Clang!
At the moment the sound reverberated, accompanied by a blade light tearing through the firmament, the power of the Path of Oblivion erupted; boundless blade light annihilated the Path of Origin and severed strands of dust threads.
Heavenly Blade Old Man and Star Lord Yuanchen descended.
"Ha ha ha…" White Emperor showed a contemptuous expression. "Daoist friend Yuancheng, the Purple Star Heavenly Court is about to collapse; do you still wish to remain a dog for the Son of Heaven?"
"Our paths differ, we cannot work together," Star Lord Yuancheng said lightly.
"Hmph!" Dark Emperor sneered coldly. "Stop wasting words with them; quickly complete Daoist brother Origin’s task, or it will change if delayed."
Boom!
White Emperor brandished the fly-whisk; strands of dust threads entangled, coalescing into a sword. With a thought, the Divine Tree of Light rose from his Purple Palace, its light illuminating the great cosmos.
Boundless divine light pierced the firmament, evolving into a Divine Domain. Dark Emperor vanished from sight.
Heavenly Blade Old Man gazed at that fly-whisk sword, frowning slightly; this was the Ancient God of Origin’s innate treasures, yet he had handed it to White Emperor with such willingness.
Boom!
Heavenly Blade Old Man extended his hand and drew his divine dagger; the blade light tore through space, he slashed apart White Emperor’s innate light Great Dao with one strike, aiming squarely at White Emperor.
In cultivation, Heavenly Blade Old Man was an old semi-Immortal Emperor, surpassing White Emperor by a narrow margin.
But with the Ancient God of Origin’s fly-whisk, Heavenly Blade Old Man dared not act carelessly at all.
From the very first move, he exerted full strength.
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the sky shattered and the earth quaked.
Strands of dust threads pierced into space; Tianxuan Realm trembled, triggering a great earthquake as countless creatures perished.
"Rescue them, swiftly!"
The old man of the ancient surname wore an ugly expression, immediately ordering all Immortal Venerables and Immortal Path experts to act, rescuing the beings of Tianxuan Realm.
Bang bang bang!
On another front, Dark Emperor also battled Star Lord Yuancheng.
Dark Emperor’s Dark Great Dao was bizarrely intricate; Star Lord Yuancheng commanded the stars, charging into the River of Time, returning to the past as he attempted to erase Dark Emperor there.
"He he…" Dark Emperor chuckled scornfully as a strange great bell materialized.
Clang!
The bell quaked once; an eerie bell sound spread across Tianxuan Realm, darkness enveloping all as hordes of monsters whispered in the night, assimilating Tianxuan Realm.
Dark Emperor divided into countless clones, merging into the darkness, eroding the Stellar Great Dao.
Star Lord Yuancheng’s gaze flickered; that ancient bell shielded Dark Emperor’s primordial spirit, severing his magic power so he could not return to the past to annihilate Dark Emperor.
“No wonder you dared to fight me; it turns out you had something to rely on.” Star Lord Yuancheng narrowed his eyes.
Dark Emperor sneered coldly, “It is widely known that semi-Immortal Emperors can cross the River of Time and return to the past. Since I have chosen to fight you, I naturally won’t let you succeed easily.”
“Boom!”
“Two Daoist brothers, this old one will aid you with an extra hand.” The old man of the ancient surname activated the Primordial chessboard. The Primordial Great Dao destroyed Dark Emperor’s Dark Great Dao with crushing force as he joined Star Lord Yuancheng in confronting Dark Emperor.
People always choose to pinch the soft persimmon.
Dark Emperor was that soft persimmon.
“Old undying thing, I’ll slaughter you sooner or later.” Dark Emperor’s expression turned ugly as he transformed into wisps of shadow and vanished without a trace.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fight between White Emperor and Heavenly Blade Old Man grew ever fiercer.
The horsetail whisk of Ancient God of Origin was overwhelmingly powerful. It completely broke free from White Emperor’s control and engaged Heavenly Blade Old Man in desperate combat. The Path of Origin suppressed the Path of Oblivion, forcing Heavenly Blade Old Man into steady retreat.
Pfft!
Heavenly Blade Old Man’s path of the sword was shattered, and his physical body was pierced by the horsetail whisk. As the whisk swayed, it devoured Heavenly Blade Old Man’s flesh essence and his entire Great Dao.
“My life is over!”
Heavenly Blade Old Man’s face showed despair.
The horsetail whisk was Ancient God of Origin’s innate treasure. After tens of millions of years of nurturing, it had gained intelligence and grown incredibly powerful.
Although Heavenly Blade Old Man possessed great cultivation, he was still no match for it.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the heavens. Where the light shone, the darkness dissolved. This light entered Heavenly Blade Old Man’s physical body and instantly suppressed the Path of Origin.
“Your Majesty…” Heavenly Blade Old Man’s expression shifted.
Bang!
From the heavens, a finger extended and gave a light flick, sending the horsetail whisk flying away.
“Return.”
The aloof voice of the Emperor reached everyone’s ears.
Nuwa’s Dao Body could not be preserved.
If those two stayed behind, it would only be a futile sacrifice.
Upon Tianxuan Realm, countless eyes watched the scene.
Yuanzu, Ancient God of Origin, Daoist Qing Xuan, and others gathered together, gazing from afar at Tianxuan Realm.
“Yes.”
Heavenly Blade Old Man and Star Lord Yuancheng immediately withdrew and departed.
“Old thing, go die now.”
Once the two experts from Purple Star Heavenly Court left, White Emperor glared viciously at the old man of the ancient surname. With a movement of his horsetail whisk, he instantly shattered the Primordial Great Dao and absorbed the old man’s entire Great Dao.
“Who else among you wishes to die?” White Emperor gave a cold sidelong glance at the crowd.
"Go."
Their spirits almost left their bodies, and they fled in all directions at once.
"Without delay, let’s begin," the Dark Emperor stared at Nuwa’s body, his lips curled at the corners with a grin. "The journey to end all realms starts with this body, with this world."
Boom!
The White Emperor wielded his whisk, thrusting it like a sword into Nuwa’s body.
Whoosh!
In an instant, countless divine patterns manifested from Nuwa’s body as endless voids emerged. Yet, his Primordial Origin Whisk pierced straight to the core. With a mere flick, it shattered the endless voids.
Clang!
The whisk, sharp as a blade, drove deep between the eyebrows of the body.
In the very next breath, a crack, like a spider’s web, appeared on Nuwa’s body, spreading rapidly across her form.
Crack! Crack! Shatter!
The sound of splitting echoed as Nuwa’s body fractured visibly and swiftly before their eyes.
Boom! Rumble!
Simultaneously, the entire altar shattered into fragments. The earth heaved and trembled, splitting apart violently into countless plates.
The world barrier collapsed. The Sea of All Realms surged wildly, and torrents of chaotic energy poured in, crushing mountains, destroying cities one after another.
Tianxuan Realm turned into a living hell.
Misery blanketed the land.
"Hahaha…"
The White Emperor and the Dark Emperor roared with unrestrained laughter.
Thump!
After a stick of incense burned, Nuwa’s body completely crumbled, turning to dust that vanished amidst the heavens and earth.
Crack!
Tianxuan Realm was utterly swallowed by the chaotic energy. A colossal fissure appeared across the firmament—a terrifying, grotesque scar stretching toward all realms.
In that moment, it seemed as though the scars of the heavens had reappeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Sea of All Realms, too, underwent a great change.
Previously calm, occasionally stirred by ripples, it now churned violently. Chaotic waves crashed ceaselessly against realm after realm.
Tianxuan Realm was like a pivotal point.
Through this one place, all the realms could be shaken.
"It has begun."
Yuanzu and the others watched with deep satisfaction.
Once Nuwa’s body shattered, the heavens themselves became flawed. This caused celestial phenomena to shift dramatically across all realms, triggering cascading repercussions. Earth, water, fire, and wind reigned havoc everywhere.
However, they did not immediately attack the Purple Star Heavenly Court.
The longer it took, the greater the damage to the Heavenly Dao.
In the Purple Star Heavenly Court,
the Heavenly Sovereign was expressionless.
"Your Majesty, Nuwa’s body has shattered," Qin Yu reported gravely. "Within days, they will surely attack the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing this, panic spread throughout the crowd.
The invincibility of the Heavenly Dao was an ingrained belief among all living beings.
Yet, when Nuwa’s body shattered, the Tianxuan Realm vanished, and the Heavenly Dao itself was shaken, the heavenly officers of the Purple Star Heavenly Court finally realized that even the Heavenly Dao was not invincible.
In this battle, the Innate Divine Beings and the Heavenly Emperor had come prepared.
The Purple Star Heavenly Court faced grim prospects.
"When enemy soldiers march, we shall meet them with shields. When floods surge, we shall hold back with earth."
The Heavenly Sovereign’s sharp gaze swept across the heavenly officers as he declared, "When the sky falls, I am here to hold it up!"
…
At Heaven’s Secret Pavilion,
Ye Xu and Yi Tianxing were also disturbed by the cosmic phenomena.
The two stepped to the entrance, and Yi Tianxing gazed out with compassion.
Though it was his second life, his essence remained that of the Human Ancestor, his heart bound to all living beings.
He had never changed.
"No breaking, no rebuilding," Yi Tianxing solemnly stated.
If not eradicated, that sliver of selfish desire would inevitably cause even more terrible consequences in time.
This was a necessary sacrifice.
"Wait in peace," advised Ye Xu.
Until the final moment, the Human Ancestor must not act.
Otherwise, neither side would allow him to succeed if they sensed his interference.
"This old man understands."
Ye Xu turned away.
With a single thought, he entered a hidden dimension.
"The world grows stranger by the day. I must advance to the Immortal Emperor realm swiftly," Ye Xu murmured.
He now possessed 580 billion heavenly secrets points.
To achieve the Three Yuan Proof required 280 billion.
More than enough.
"System, I demand immediate ascension to the Three Yuan Proof."
Ye Xu’s eyes blazed.
"Congratulations, Host. 280 billion heavenly secrets points have been consumed."
Boom!
The words had scarcely faded before vast waves of energy burst into Ye Xu’s body.
He felt near bursting.
Instantly, he dropped into a sitting lotus position and circulated his mystic arts.
Breaking through to the Three Yuan Proof would be a lengthy process.
But when he emerged—even if he stepped beyond Heaven’s Secret Pavilion—he would stand among the most powerful existences in the world.
