Chapter 160: The Eldest Senior Brother of Falling Emperor Mountain (Finale) |
Su Chen wielded the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword.
Although Lin Zhan possessed no Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, his physical body was terrifyingly strong. In the golden great era, he had been one of the few with the highest chance of becoming a Great Emperor.
Even after reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm and holding an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, Su Chen still had no guarantee of victory. This was also why he had forced Lin Changsheng to leave. Lin Zhan might not be a Supreme, but he was not far off.
The battle between the two erupted.
Su Chen fully unleashed his Innate Supreme Sword Body, covering billions of miles. The Purple Firmament Emperor Sword in his hand radiated overwhelming emperor might. The Quasi-Emperor's divine blood in his body was rapidly drying up.
Lin Zhan fared no better. No matter how thick his vitality or how durable his body, he could not withstand Su Chen's relentless grinding. Su Chen possessed the physique most suited to the sword dao, and it had already reached great completion.
Su Chen himself was in even worse condition. His damaged body could no longer regenerate due to the depletion of his blood. Even with the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword, he could not completely kill Lin Zhan.
In the midst of their stalemate, a figure charged into the battlefield.
"Lin Zhan, why did you hide in the forbidden zones?"
When Lin Zhan saw the arrival, a slight change appeared on his previously indifferent face. He said with emotion, "Senior Li…"
Li Shenhua's aged eyes revealed deep regret and sorrow. "Lin Zhan, why did you enter the forbidden zones? Why slaughter the common people?"
Lin Zhan's expression returned to calm. "It was only to grow stronger. I will use any means necessary. Senior Li, this will be the last time I address you as senior. You may leave this place. I will pretend nothing happened today."
Li Shenhua sneered. "Leave? And then watch you slaughter the young geniuses of our human race? I will cleanse the human race of a scum like you!"
Li Shenhua burned his remaining blood despite his broken body. The tattered Divine Evolution Emperor Armor once again emitted emperor might. The pagoda above his head and the battle halberd in his hand ravaged the starry river.
Lin Zhan's eyes darkened as he said indifferently, "Li Shenhua, why must you do this?"
Su Chen caught his breath and moved to seal off Lin Zhan's escape route.
One was a late-stage Quasi-Emperor wielding two Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons. The other was a great completion divine body Quasi-Emperor holding an Emperor Weapon. Together, they were strong enough to stall even a Supreme.
Lin Zhan's heart sank. He shouted toward a patch of empty space, "Blood Butcher, I know you haven't left. If the two of us join forces to kill them, the great completion divine body will be yours and the other one mine. How about it?"

The space trembled. A vast sea of filthy blood floated above the starry sky, and from within it emerged a massive figure that stared greedily at Su Chen and Li Shenhua.
Li Shenhua roared in fury, "Lin Zhan, you actually colluded with a forbidden zone Supreme!"
Lin Zhan said calmly, "So what? Li Shenhua, I already gave you a chance!"
Su Chen spoke, "Senior Li, do you have any last words?"
Li Shenhua's eyes widened. His robes fluttered as he stood tall in the sea of stars. "This old man has lived a glorious life. My only regret is that I once guided this beast and saved him from death multiple times, only for him to harm all living beings. Today, even if I die, I must personally eliminate this scourge! What about you, young friend?"
Su Chen's body gradually regained its youthful appearance. Supreme sword dao pierced through the sea of stars as he held the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword, his spirit soaring. "I may have some last words left unsaid and some regrets not yet settled, but none of that matters anymore. Dying in battle in the void—this is the best ending."
Li Shenhua laughed loudly. "Young friend, you are truly impressive. You are far better than that beast. If we manage to survive, we must go to the Flower God Pavilion and drink their thousand-year brew. It will be ready in another thirty years. I'm already craving it."
Su Chen smiled as well. Both of them knew the chances were slim.
Li Shenhua and Su Chen attacked Lin Zhan at the same time without prior agreement. Their light illuminated the vault of heaven, and all living beings shed tears. The foundations left behind from the previous great era were swept away in this single Dark Turmoil.
Lin Zhan, covered in wounds, was finally forced to shout, "Blood Butcher! If I die, you won't survive either! With three Emperor Weapons as a foundation, without me, you won't be their match!"
The Blood Butcher Supreme, who had been holding back, thought for a moment and realized it was true. Without Lin Zhan, he would not be able to obtain the great completion divine body and a Quasi-Emperor, even though being threatened by an ant who had never become an Emperor was rather unpleasant.
Only when the Blood Butcher Supreme finally intervened did Lin Zhan breathe a sigh of relief. Seizing the brief gap where the supreme blocked Li Shenhua and Su Chen, Lin Zhan turned and fled without the slightest hesitation.
The Blood Butcher Supreme was stunned.
Lin Zhan's escape was decisive, vanishing in an instant.
Li Shenhua and Su Chen's attacks had already arrived.
"Lin Zhan, you bastard!"
The Blood Butcher Supreme never imagined that such a powerful expert would flee so decisively.
With the Blood Butcher Supreme blocking Li Shenhua and Su Chen, the two had no idea where Lin Zhan had escaped to.
The Blood Butcher Supreme erupted with power, trying to shake off the two Quasi-Emperors.
Li Shenhua and Su Chen exchanged a glance. Without prior agreement, they both turned their gazes toward the Blood Butcher Supreme.
"Taking down one Supreme with us… doesn't seem like a bad choice."
Li Shenhua was on his last breath, his lifespan completely burned away. Su Chen's divine soul was rotting, and the Quasi-Emperor blood in his body had dried up. Both men had only one final gasp left. They had originally intended to eliminate Lin Zhan, the source of endless future trouble. Instead, the Blood Butcher Supreme had helped Lin Zhan block them.
The three Emperor Weapons sealed off the Blood Butcher Supreme's escape routes. Another world-shaking battle erupted. All three were fighting with broken bodies.
The Blood Butcher Supreme's sea of blood was rapidly consumed. Looking at the two madmen before him, he felt utter despair. If he were to be slain by two mere Quasi-Emperors, it would truly become the greatest joke in the universe.
A terrifying aura surged forth. Supreme emperor might began to awaken within the Blood Butcher Supreme's body. He chose to undergo sublimation for this final battle. His lifespan and emperor blood burned wildly. With a single palm strike, he shattered the already tattered Divine Evolution Emperor Armor. Li Shenhua's physical body exploded, his blood scattering across the starry sky as all living beings mourned in sorrow.
Su Chen knew he would not survive. A supreme who had undergone extreme sublimation now possessed the combat power of a former Great Emperor. He tossed the Purple Firmament Emperor Sword into the void. Facing the Blood Butcher Supreme's final strike, his body shattered and his consciousness dissolved.
Heart-wrenching cries that shook heaven and earth erupted from the direction of the Azure Nether Dao Domain.
Su Chen's consciousness completely vanished.
Amid the fear and weeping of countless living beings.
Amid the fearless, desperate battles of countless powerhouses.
Beneath the foundations left behind by generation after generation of Great Emperor orthodoxies.
The Dark Turmoil of this era gradually subsided.
