Dao Shi Slays Four Supreme Beings at the Cosmic Frontier!

The four supreme beings merged their bodies, souls, and Daos into the Immortal Cauldron, and it began to spin. Space shattered; time grew unstable. This was the cauldron's strongest power, and every use damaged their supreme origins. But now they could no longer afford to care!

The Immortal Cauldron became a beam of Dao light and swept silently across the universe. It seemed to carry no force at all, yet behind it, the void exploded and Chaos energy spread. Its power had reached into boundless Chaos!

Clang!

Supreme Might pierced the Dao Fire Furnace, and Meng Chuan burst apart, scattering divine Dao light in every direction.

"Meng Chuan!" someone cried, grief in their voice.

"Did it work?" The four stared at the scattered remains of his Emperor Body. Joy flashed through their eyes, then vanished. Their bodies went cold.

As the divine light gathered, Meng Chuan's true body appeared once more!

"Go!" Kungu roared. Without hesitation, he raced toward the Space-Time Passage.

In the blink of an eye, the passage came into view. Kungu struck and destroyed the Emperor Dao Divine Principles Meng Chuan had left there at the start of the battle.

"Today, the four of us are far from our peaks. We have less than a tenth of our strength left. Dao Shi, we'll be back!" An Xuan's resentful voice rang through the stars. Who the hell could have expected four against one to end with them getting beaten down? Even after using a supreme Immortal Artifact, they had held the upper hand only briefly.

How could a monster like this exist?

The four entered the Space-Time Passage and disappeared.

"Four Great Emperors just... ran away?" A Quasi-Emperor felt as if he were dreaming. He could scarcely believe that four Great Emperors had failed to defeat Dao Shi.

"Perhaps it's better that they left. Who knows what would happen if all four stayed to fight to the death? That cauldron is terrifying. Though this may leave us with trouble later," Jiang Daoran said, a trace of relief in his eyes.

"Yes. If they come back, then..." Before Ji Lianxing could finish, she saw four figures appear again before the Space-Time Passage, blood still dripping from their bodies.

"It's a one-way passage! We can't go back!" An Xuan shouted in exasperation.

Because Meng Chuan had chosen to extract the Space-Time Origin, the passage remained open. It was just that the former passage between worlds now spat travelers out wherever they had entered...

The four supreme beings knew nothing of this and thought the passage itself was to blame. The turn of events left everyone else staring.

The Quasi-Emperors: ...

The Forbidden Zone Supremes: ...

Were they idiots? They had delivered their threats and promised to return for revenge, only to find they could not leave?

"Go. Into the Chaos beyond the Outer Regions!" Kungu decided at once.

Then a figure appeared before the Quasi-Emperors gathered beyond countless star fields and shouted, "Why keep running? Take these people hostage. Would Dao Shi still dare kill us?"

Kungu and the other two: ...

Did he have any idea what it meant for a Near-Immortal to undergo a transformation like this—and complete it?

Had he forgotten how Dao Shi alone had beaten all four of them down moments ago?

Why the hell did he think a Heaven's Mandate Supreme Being who had fought his way up through the Dharma-Ending Age would spare disasters like them for these people's sake?

What the hell...

How the hell had they ended up with a pig-headed teammate like him?!

Kungu and the other two wanted to weep. For the first time, they felt a team of three might be better than four...

Unaware of his companions' thoughts, An Xuan reached out with a huge hand toward Qingyue and the other two, intending to seize them as leverage against Meng Chuan.

"I noticed during our battle that you three care most about Dao Shi. You must be close to him. Once I have you, he'll have no choice but to yield."

Boom!

An enormous hand that blotted out the sky appeared before the four supreme beings and crushed An Xuan.

A calm voice rang out, and the universe fell silent.

"Not much strength. Not much sense, either."

Meng Chuan appeared among the stars. His presence was tranquil, with no Dao phenomena or fluctuations of power. Yet to the four supreme beings, he was terrifying beyond measure.

The cloud of blood gathered again. Pale-faced, An Xuan stared at Meng Chuan, fear flashing through his eyes. Too strong. He was far too strong! Even at his peak, An Xuan could not have survived a single move.

An Xuan retreated, hoping to find some reassurance among his companions. Only then did he discover that no one stood behind him. The others had already reached the edge of Chaos.

"Yu Qiong, save me!" An Xuan shouted.

Meng Chuan's expression turned a little strange. Why did that sound familiar...?

He turned toward the three about to plunge into Chaos. With a casual flick, he sent out an Emperor Dao Divine Principle that pinned An Xuan to the stars, leaving him unable to break free. Then Meng Chuan reached for the others.

Every being who could witness the scene was shaken by An Xuan's screams. A Great Emperor had been pinned to the void with a casual gesture...

The sight also felt strangely familiar. A Saint Spirit of Great Emperor level had wailed in that very patch of sky just moments ago. The same place, the same cries. The Saint Spirit's ashes had not even drifted far...

Meng Chuan sent out the Great Dao Jade Butterfly to deal with Yu Qiong and Wu Yu while he pursued Kungu himself.

"Fellow Daoist, must you hunt us to the bitter end?" Kungu looked at Meng Chuan in despair. He knew he could not escape.

Had he been at full strength, he might not have defeated Dao Shi, but fleeing into Chaos would have been easy.

"I'm not wasting my breath on you. All four of you die today," Meng Chuan said bluntly. What was there to discuss with a dead man?

Kungu did not know what Meng Chuan meant by "wasting my breath," but he understood that Meng Chuan was determined to kill him. He sighed helplessly, knowing he would most likely die here today.

The Immortal Cauldron appeared above Kungu's head again. It remained extraordinary, but the divine power it had displayed earlier was gone.

"Cough!"

Kungu coughed up blood. Merely summoning the cauldron had aggravated his injuries. It was clear that the four of them were lamps whose oil had run dry.

Meng Chuan shook his head at the sight. He had already noticed during their battle how terribly depleted their life essence was.

He did not know how an Immortal Artifact refined by a Quasi-Immortal King had allowed the four of them to remain in the Boundary Sea, but they could not have done so without paying a price. Their depleted life essence was proof.

One other thing puzzled Meng Chuan greatly: throughout the battle, none of the four had used a weapon besides the Immortal Cauldron.

"Kill!"

Kungu roared and charged first. The Immortal Cauldron blazed anew, lighting up the worlds in every direction.

Meng Chuan swung his Emperor Fist, meeting the cauldron with his bare hand. The scene was much like his earlier fight against the Saint Spirit. But that Saint Spirit's companion sword had merely been comparable to an Emperor Weapon. This was an Immortal Artifact!

Boom!

Endless shock waves spread. Planets exploded; star fields shattered.

Kungu kept coughing blood. Looking at Meng Chuan, he laughed. "To have seen a supreme being like you today, Dao Shi—I can die without regret!"

As things stood, only a miracle could turn the battle around for Kungu.

"What a supreme art!" His last words were an expression of admiration for the Dao Fire Furnace.

Meng Chuan looked at Kungu without expression. The four had tried to devour this universe to restore themselves. A battle between them had been inevitable, and the losers would lose everything, their lives included.

"Dao Shi, fight me!"

Their positions seemed to have reversed. Kungu roared, challenging Meng Chuan.

"I'll send you on your way!"

Meng Chuan swung his Emperor Fist again and struck Kungu head-on.

No miracle came. Kungu's blood splashed across the stars. Meng Chuan collected a wisp of his soul, and the remaining three supreme beings followed Kungu to their deaths, one after another.

At the Cosmic Frontier, Dao Shi slew four supreme beings!
