Great Battle Begins, One Against Two, Everyone Is Shocked!

East King Duke took a step forward, and overwhelming Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness surged from within his body.

In an instant, the world seemed to stop. All tangible and intangible matter froze, solidifying into a substantive pressure that bore down on Di Jun and Taiyi.

The Heavenly Emperor Seal overflowed with Great Dao Laws, the purest form of power, embodying East King Duke's Dao and Dharma, the manifestation of his Dao fruit.

Without further words, the three began to fight.

The Eastern Emperor Bell rang out, as if it were fighting with all its might, or perhaps its laws were shattering.

The Heavenly Emperor Seal seemed to contain a world within it. Each movement unleashed immense power, its supreme might causing the Great Desolation to groan. Billions of miles of void shattered, leading them into Chaos.

Even after leaving the Great Desolation, the scattered aftermath sent shivers of fear through all living beings.

"Donghua!"

West Queen Mother's beautiful eyes rippled with concern as she looked into the Chaos. Although East King Duke's power was peerless, and he was suppressing Di Jun and Taiyi with his Heavenly Emperor Fist, he still couldn't defeat them completely. If this dragged on, he might eventually lose.

"East King Duke!!!"

Seeing the Eastern Emperor Bell struck again by East King Duke and sent plummeting into the depths of the void for billions of miles, Taiyi's face was a mixture of rage and killing intent. A roar capable of destroying small worlds erupted from him.

"East King Duke, I miscalculated this time. I didn't expect that besides the Innate Supreme Treasure, your Spiritual Power would also be so formidable."

Di Jun was much calmer than Taiyi, but blood trickled from his lips, and a fist imprint radiating supreme power remained on his chest.

"But your Cultivation is only just at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level. This battle will ultimately be your defeat!"

"Eldest Brother is right. Those who are not Quasi-Saints are merely ants, no matter how strong they are. Once we grind away your Origin, we will extract your Spiritual Soul and temper it in the Sun Star for eternity! Hahahaha!"

The Three Pure Ones, who had been observing this scene, remained noncommittal upon hearing Di Jun's words.

As Quasi-Saints themselves, they knew the unique nature of this realm. The greatest aspect was being indestructible through countless tribulations, eternally unyielding, completely transcending the River of Time and Space.

Compared to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who merely controlled their timelines, the difference in realms was like heaven and earth.

"East King Duke is going to lose!"

Taishang sighed and shook his head.

The other beings, looking through the black holes in the sky, saw this scene and despaired for East King Duke.

How could a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fight a Quasi-Saint?

"I will lose? Ridiculous."

East King Duke punched them both away again. The Heavenly Emperor Seal above protected him, emitting myriad golden divine lights that illuminated even the dim Chaos with a golden glow.

"Anyone can talk big. What else can you do!"

Taiyi's arrogant laughter echoed as he wielded the Eastern Emperor Bell and charged from the depths of the Chaos, swinging it directly at East King Duke.

Di Jun was also setting up an array, the River Chart and Luo Script spinning wildly, transforming Chaos Qi for his own use.

"It's very simple. I'll become a Quasi-Saint!"

East King Duke's gaze was calm. Taiyi's attack stopped three inches from him, blocked by the divine light emanating from the Heavenly Emperor Seal.

After the collision with the Eastern Emperor Bell, a deep chime sounded, annihilating all matter in the Chaos. The Spiritual Souls of all beings froze for a moment, but the divine light around East King Duke merely rippled.

"Hahahaha, become a Quasi-Saint? What a joke!"

"Who do you think you are? A mere mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal dares to say you'll become a Saint amidst our battle!"

Di Jun and Taiyi burst into laughter, seeing this as nothing more than East King Duke's dying struggle.

But the next moment.

Their smiles froze, and a chill ran through their hearts.

All living beings stood stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"I sacrifice my Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness to summon the River of Time and Space. Future Self, come!"

East King Duke resolutely summoned the Auspicious Golden Wheel, and the flames of the Dao ignited, burning with overwhelming Auspiciousness. He formed hand seals, and a terrifying aura that could intimidate the nine heavens and ten earths descended from the void.

The Heavenly Emperor Seal's divine light illuminated all myriad paths, and the sound of footsteps filled with the rhythm of the Great Dao echoed from infinite eons past.

When Hongjun first preached the Great Dao, the system allowed him to comprehend the Great Dao of Faith.

This second sermon, naturally, did not disappoint.

Although he was preaching the Method of Three Corpses, he gained a secret technique from it.

The Three-Life Body!

Namely, the Past Self, the Present Self, and the Future Self.

Each avatar possessed its own unique characteristics.

The Future Self was particularly special; as long as one was willing to spend Auspiciousness, even a Future Self at the Saint realm could be summoned.

The Heavenly Emperor Auspiciousness burned at a visible rate, and an East King Duke, who trod upon all myriad paths, majestic and noble, wearing an imperial crown and exuding an imposing aura, emerged.

"This humble Daoist, East King Duke, greets Fellow Daoist."

The Quasi-Saint aura of the Future Self spread, causing the void to tremble and quake.

Seeing a person identical to himself bow to him, East King Duke felt a strange sensation arise within him.

"Fellow Daoist, I'll leave this place to you!"

East King Duke nodded, Heavenly Emperor Seal held in his hand, suppressing the rapidly dissipating Auspiciousness.

"Good!"

Future Self smiled and nodded. When he shifted his gaze to Di Jun and the other, it turned incomparably cold.

"Slay!"

Future Self's gaze was indifferent. The Heavenly Emperor spoke with the authority of the Heavenly Dao, making it impossible to muster the slightest will to resist.

Sky Measuring Ruler transformed into a sharp sword light, capable of easily piercing through a small world.

As his voice fell, the sword light seemed to sever even time itself, instantly arriving before them.

"No!"

Taiyi roared, wanting to counterattack, but as soon as he made a move, he froze in place.

Then his entire body was cut in two. Even the Eastern Emperor Bell couldn't react in time, falling directly into the Chaos.

But even so, Taiyi did not die.

He roared continuously, activating the Golden Crow Secret Method. Blazing True Sun Fire enveloped him, wanting to be reborn from the flames.

However, the clean-cut edge was imbued with a world-ending sharpness, and the divine chains of order formed by Dao continuously prevented his wounds from healing.

"Taiyi."

Di Jun's expression changed upon seeing this, wanting to step forward to help. Who knew that after the sword light cut through Taiyi, it would turn and charge towards him.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a sharp sword piercing flesh rang out. Di Jun looked down at his chest, revealing a bloody, mangled hole. He could even see half of his heart beating violently.

"They lost, Di Jun and his allies actually lost!"

Seeing the two of them bleeding in the Chaos, the Three Pure Ones and the others finally came back to their senses, saying in disbelief.

"The Three Corpses can be used like this?!"

As the head of the Three Pure Ones, Taishang was greatly enlightened by this battle. When East King Duke unleashed his Future Self, he became thoughtful, a spark of wisdom shining in his eyes, as if a secret method was taking shape.

Chaos.

"Eldest Brother!"

Seeing Di Jun heavily wounded, Taiyi transformed into his original form, forcibly merging his two severed halves.

The Golden Crow, like the Sun Star, shielded Di Jun, and boundless True Sun Fire radiated from within him, forming a giant fireball.
