Finale! Falling into the Immortal Court, Slaying a Holy Spirit with a Glance, the Ultimate Dao Comprehension Treasure in the World! (One Hundred Thousand)
Clang-!!
The enormous Immortal Source coffin crashed into the mountain of divine treasures with a deafening boom!
Such disrespect naturally drew the attention of everyone present.
Sheng Ying's icy gaze also descended upon it.
Immortal Source as a gift-he approved.
But with such disrespect, he could not be blamed for his anger.
Yet...
When his gaze fell upon that figure, his eyes began to tremble violently!
Familiar.
Far too familiar.
This was the towering figure he had watched day and night before he emerged into the world!
Even though not a trace of his former presence remained.
He was absolutely certain that this was the Heavenly Emperor who had attained the Dao with a Sacred Body and sheltered all living beings for forty thousand years!
"You... aren't dead?"
"Soon."
Ye Mingyuan spoke hoarsely, exchanging his first and last words with this final enemy of his.
The crowd surged, everyone fleeing in a frenzy!
At Ye Mingyuan's arrival, everyone felt joy, but even more than that... fear!
For a battle at the pinnacle of the Dao... erupted in an instant!!
In a single moment.
The vast sacred palace turned to dust, vanishing into the starry sky.
All living beings discovered in astonishment that throughout the great universe, the Heavenly Emperor's Dao had revived!
In the starry cosmos, two towering figures like blazing suns collided!
It was far too sudden.
No one had anticipated it at all!
They had thought that from this day onward, this Holy Spirit who had attained the Dao would enslave the universe for tens of thousands of years.
This would become another dark age that ancient histories were unwilling to mention.
But the Heavenly Emperor had revived!
He had returned once more, and at his full strength!
Everyone had misunderstood. He had not severed his own cultivation and fallen into a forbidden zone!
Instead, he had reached some agreement with the Chaos Heavenly Emperor within the Immortal Court.
He had hidden there for a thousand years.
Only to await the emergence of this Holy Spirit who had attained the Dao.
And then... drag him into boundless hell with him!
Before a ruined Heavenly Emperor temple, an old man as withered as dead wood had tears brimming in his eyes.
He knelt before the statue, of which only half remained, and prayed with devotion and sincerity.
"May the Heavenly Emperor... have his wish fulfilled..."
Boom-!!
The pressures of the pinnacle of the Dao collided, and the aftershocks that splashed outward extinguished vast swathes of star fields.
Countless living beings wept and wailed.
But Ye Mingyuan could no longer spare them any attention.
He was simply too old.
From the moment his blood and vitality revived and his combat power erupted, his life had entered its final countdown!
Now, only a single resolve sustained him.
To beat this Holy Spirit who had attained the Dao to death, then cast him into the Immortal Court Forbidden Zone!
To fulfill his promise of a gift from the Heavenly Emperor!
His golden blood and vitality surged like a vast ocean, yet held no life, instead steeped in endless Death Qi!
In this way, he squeezed every last drop from himself.
In exchange for even greater power!
He already possessed thirty percent of the bearing he had shown at his very peak!
But his opponent was a perfected Holy Spirit who had successfully attained the Dao.
Though not an Immortal Metal Holy Spirit, his true form was a piece of immortal stone, in no way inferior to immortal metal!
When he unleashed his full strength, the entire great universe trembled!
His eyes were utterly indifferent as he swung a heaven-supporting divine staff, powerful enough to churn heaven and earth and overturn yin, yang, and reincarnation!
He was confident he could suppress and slay this aged Heavenly Emperor!
Otherwise, how could he speak of becoming an immortal?
"Your era has already ended."
"If you dream of competing with my brilliance, you can only become the essence of flesh and blood that nourishes my body!"
Sheng Ying's voice spread throughout the world, chilling all living beings to the bone!
But Ye Mingyuan offered no reply whatsoever.
He simply erupted, pinning Sheng Ying down with sky-filling golden blood and vitality mingled with Death Qi.
The great cauldron descended, shattering his arm outright!
Sheng Ying roared in fury, hazy immortal light erupting from his body as he unleashed the supreme forbidden art that heaven and earth had inscribed upon him!
It seemed to transcend the Emperor Realm and touch the domain of immortals!
Its power was far too terrifying. Even Ye Mingyuan was struck, his body bursting apart!
Though he swiftly re-formed, the Death Qi accumulated in his eyes grew another thirty percent denser!
He did not hesitate.
Nor did he show the slightest intention of retreating.
He had come resolved to die, so why retreat?
But this Holy Spirit was simply too powerful.
His confidence in becoming an immortal was not without reason.
As he clashed with his youthful body, all the injuries he sustained were erased amid an almost endless outpouring of divine power!
Only today.
Did he finally understand what those Supremes he had killed had felt.
What it was like to fight a life-and-death battle against an existence with an incredibly thick health bar!
Collision after collision, explosion after explosion.
The scene was far too tragic and desolate.
It moved the people of the world!
Though Sheng Ying was now gravely wounded, he had firmly gained the upper hand.
And so...
He had not noticed that the place where they fought.
Had unwittingly shifted to a star field known as a forbidden zone of the universe.
Within this star field lay an ancient, majestic planet filled with the restrictions of many Great Emperors: Fallen Immortal Star!
As Ye Mingyuan's presence rapidly declined.
And he approached the brink of death.
Sheng Ying intended to deliver the final blow.
But...
Ye Mingyuan gave him a savage yet relaxed smile.
The next moment!
He burned all his soul and Dao fruits completely, his body locking tightly around Sheng Ying.
He exhausted everything, solely to ram the gravely wounded Sheng Ying into a place shrouded in immortal mist, whose peculiar laws of heaven and earth were unexpectedly well suited to him.
Before Ye Mingyuan perished completely.
He heard a murmur from Ye Mingyuan, though it was not addressed to him.
Those final words at the brink of death seemed to be...
"The Heavenly Emperor's gift has been delivered. Please acknowledge receipt."
A gift?
What gift?
Dragging his broken body, Sheng Ying looked around.
Then his pupils abruptly contracted!
He saw a divine mountain that seemed to have been watered with phoenix blood.
Many divine birds roosted upon it.
Atop that divine mountain was a figure who seemed one with heaven and earth, ethereal and unsullied, seemingly transcendent.
He was bending down, gently stroking.
A divine bird that seemed to have reached the level of Alternative Dao Attainment, its form no different from an immortal phoenix.
Then, seemingly noticing his presence.
He raised his eyes and looked toward him.
Their eyes met.
In a daze, Sheng Ying saw churning chaos within those tranquil eyes.
A small nine-leaved grass grew amid the chaos, and beside it, a noble and sacred True Phoenix naturally stretched its wings.
As he watched...
His spiritual dais collapsed without his noticing, and his soul was silently drawn out, sinking into that endless chaos.
Boom-!!
An Immortal Stone Holy Spirit, merely because their eyes had met once.
Perished just like that!
His body settled beside Phoenix Blood Mountain.
It formed an immortal mountain no different in size, lustrous white throughout, with the Qi of immortal charm drifting about it.
The wind blew past.
Immortal music played within it, and Dao resonance flowed.
This mountain alone surpassed every ultimate Dao comprehension treasure in the world!
