"Heh, why waste so many words? You want to kill me, and I want to kill you just the same. The Celestial Emperor Dao Fruit is mine!" Ji Hao declared arrogantly.
Swallowing the Immortal Emperor outright would be something of a waste, but those who walked different paths could not conspire together. He would have to kill him sooner or later, so he might as well devour him now and reap the greatest possible benefit.
"Lin, bing, dou, zhe, jie, shu, zu, qian, xing!" The Immortal Emperor let out a long cry and unleashed his celestial emperor divine power without hesitation. Since peace was impossible, death it was!
He immediately employed Nine Secrets Merged as One, almost truly reaching the level of a Red Dust Immortal.
Nine masses of immortal light erupted with boundless might. Nine characters merged into one, evolving into a supreme secret art and forming a mass of forbidden immortal light, as though it would strike open a new epoch.
"Great Five Elements Technique!"
"Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Needle!"
Yet Ji Hao remained calm and composed. His radiant fist opened, and astonishingly pure five-colored brilliance burst from his five fingers. Then it reversed. The power of the five elements collapsed into pure destruction, erupting chaotically before gathering into an annihilation divine needle.
Boom!
The two collided, blooming with dazzling radiance. Heaven collapsed and earth crumbled, time twisted into chaos, and the entire chaotic world burst apart, torn asunder. Chaos was opened up, then annihilated. The laws of all paths ceased to exist, leaving this place a vast wasteland.
"Roar!"
"Immortal Phoenix Undying Seal!"
The Immortal Emperor transformed into a phoenix. He spread his wings, his body radiating a vast, primordial aura. Endless immortal light stretched into the distance, carrying the stirring energy of a universe's birth.
