The earth-shattering battle erupted in an instant. The two Peerless Experts yielded nothing to each other, launching into a fierce confrontation from the very start.
This was a world-shaking clash. Their very first exchange reduced the frontier of the universe to ruins.
"Kill!"
The Stone Emperor was incomparably domineering. The Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Halberd in his hand flashed like lightning as it trembled repeatedly, as though he wished to tear the Great Accomplishment Saint Body into countless pieces.
At the same time, the Stone Emperor closed in and threw a punch, utterly unafraid to compete with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body in physical strength.
Yang Qing snorted coldly. If even the Stone Emperor was not afraid, what did he have to fear?
His left hand unleashed the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, shattering the void, while the sword intent of the Sky-Supporting Sword in his right hand soared to the heavens. He met the Stone Emperor in the most direct confrontation possible.
Amid the brutal slaughter, Yang Qing and the Stone Emperor both staggered back. Both had suffered heavy blows, blood dripping from their bodies.
"Stone Emperor, you are already old. You lost your invincible bearing long ago!" Yang Qing said coldly.
Though he said so, he did not underestimate the Stone Emperor in the slightest.
Among the many Supremes, the Stone Emperor's strength could absolutely rank among the best. Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to become the master of Undying Mountain.
There was a reason for the Stone Emperor's power: he had Proved Dao and Become Emperor as a sacred spirit!
Sacred spirits were inherently blessed by heaven. So long as they could reach perfection, they would at the very least become experts on the level of Supremes.
To Prove Dao and Become Emperor as a sacred spirit was in no way inferior to doing so with a special physique.
However powerful he had once been, that was only in the past. After severing himself with a single stroke, the Stone Emperor was no longer the peerlessly invincible expert he had once been.
"A mere Great Accomplishment Saint Body dares to clamor? Let the Void Emperor come!" the Stone Emperor said disdainfully.
He had always thought highly of himself and was overbearing and invincible. Over the long years, he had seen far too many extraordinarily gifted experts.
He had never placed Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies in his eyes. Only the Void Emperor, who had attained the Dao in this era, was qualified to fight him.
Now that he had been forced to emerge, he could first kill the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. Saint blood was a supreme medicine of the mortal world, enough to make up for his losses.
After killing the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, the Void Emperor would not escape either. Today, he too would fall just like the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
"If he really came, you would not be happy either," Yang Qing sneered.
The Stone Emperor's domineering was useless. Anyone could boast; in this world, strength was what mattered most.
Did the Stone Emperor not want to fight him to the death? That suited Yang Qing perfectly. They would see who failed to hold on first.
In the fierce clash, Yang Qing displayed all his strength without reservation. His battle intent surged, striking the nine heavens above and suppressing the nine hells below.
"Impossible!" The Stone Emperor's face was filled with shock.
It was not as though he had never seen a Great Accomplishment Saint Body. How could he not know exactly how strong one was?
Yet in their fierce confrontation, this Great Accomplishment Saint Body had no intention of competing with him through attrition. Instead, he was meeting force with force.
He was certain that if it had been the previous generation's Great Accomplishment Saint Body, it would have suffered severe injuries in such an intense confrontation.
But now, he was actually being suppressed by the Great Accomplishment Saint Body before him!
Yes! Failing to suppress his opponent would have been one thing, but he could not even maintain a draw. Instead, he was the one being suppressed!
The strength displayed by this Great Accomplishment Saint Body was highly abnormal. This was absolutely not strength a Great Accomplishment Saint Body should possess.
Could it be that this Great Accomplishment Saint Body had broken through, advancing another step beyond the completion of the Saint Body?
But how was that possible? How long had it been since his Saint Body reached Great Accomplishment?
"Kill!"
Yang Qing was incomparably forceful, clashing head-on with the Stone Emperor. Every strike was earth-shattering, battering the Stone Emperor back again and again.
If it had been his former self, he certainly would not have confronted the Stone Emperor so directly. Instead, he would have relied on his abundant vitality and blood to compete with the Stone Emperor through attrition.
But things were different now. After cultivating in seclusion at Sacred Cliff for so long, he had already taken the step of breakthrough and achieved Alternative Dao Attainment.
After achieving Alternative Dao Attainment, he had reached the pinnacle of the Saint Body. He could truly challenge a Great Emperor, so what was there to fear in clashing head-on with the Stone Emperor?
Amid the violent collisions, Imperial Dao Laws erupted. Countless strands of immortal light and millions of auspicious rays burst forth as the might of an Extreme Dao Ancient Emperor swept through the entire universe.
The Stone Emperor had undergone Ultimate Ascension!
He too had once been an invincible expert in this world. He had always held himself in high esteem, so how could he allow himself to be suppressed by a Great Accomplishment Saint Body?
"Ten moves. If I cannot kill you within ten moves, I will take my own life!" the Stone Emperor said coldly.
The strong had their pride. Even if he truly had to die, he would die in glory rather than be suppressed by another.
The Stone Emperor soared into the air. In an instant, divine power boiled and solidified, Space-Time seemed imprisoned, and everything came to a halt.
After undergoing Ultimate Ascension, the Stone Emperor immediately used a supreme forbidden secret art. Even in a battle against a Great Emperor, it would not be inferior in the slightest.
Yang Qing immediately felt himself being restrained, as if he had sunk into a quagmire. His movements became incomparably sluggish.
"Why would I need ten moves? Three moves will send you on your way!" Yang Qing roared.
After the Stone Emperor underwent Ultimate Ascension, his life had already reached its end. Regardless of victory or defeat, the Stone Emperor was destined to die in this battle.
The Stone Emperor did not fear death and fought him in his peak state. What did Yang Qing have to fear?
His battle intent surged. His extraordinary combat instincts were stirred once more, bringing him into an unprecedented peak state of battle.
One sword shattered eternity. Even Space-Time could not imprison him, much less the Stone Emperor's forbidden secret art.
"Rumble!"
In the violent collision, Yang Qing and the Stone Emperor both retreated, blood dripping once again and drifting into the starry void.
Yet Yang Qing and the Stone Emperor both sprang forward again at the same time, erupting with even greater power as they charged at one another.
"I offer my imperial blood as a living sacrifice to immortality!" the Stone Emperor roared.
Amid a tremendous boom, this region of the universe was ignited. Even Space-Time was enveloped by terrifying power and burned fiercely.
The Stone Emperor's blood boiled around him, staining the greater universe red and emitting the resonance of the Dao, as though he had transformed into a furnace.
Facing the Stone Emperor's peerless killing move, Yang Qing advanced instead of retreating. His vitality and blood were unmatched, and the Saint Body's phenomenon shook the heavens.
In the violent exchange, Yang Qing and the Stone Emperor both retreated. Compared to Yang Qing, however, the Stone Emperor now looked rather miserable.
His entire body was drenched in blood, flesh flying everywhere. In this clash, the Stone Emperor had already suffered grave injuries.
"I forge immortality with my divine blood!" the Stone Emperor roared again.
At that moment, it was as though he had returned to his former peak years, invincible throughout the world and reigning over all beneath heaven.
Inconceivable power erupted. A demonic shadow stepped forth from the river of time, carrying an incomparably terrifying aura that shook the heavens of all ages.
"My Future Self, reveal your ultimate profound meaning and slaughter him!"
The Stone Emperor roared, and that figure instantly became terrifying beyond measure.
This was his ultimate killing move, the trump card he had painstakingly developed to use upon the Immortal Ascension Path.
He had yet to see the Immortal Ascension Path open, but using it to kill the Great Accomplishment Saint Body would not disgrace this move.
"Throughout ancient times, the present, and the future, I alone reign supreme!" Yang Qing roared.
Amid the brutal battle, he pressed onward without hesitation. His invincible will could not be shaken. What did any peerless killing move matter?
The more he fought, the stronger he became. His surging battle intent intertwined, transforming into a sword that surpassed the peak and cleaved heaven and earth apart.
Countless sword rays shot into the heavens, transforming into eternal light and bringing this earth-shaking battle to an end!
