Chapter 210: The Emperor's Fate (25) |
Su Chen returned to the Ye Clan. Everything that had just happened felt like a dream… yet Su Chen knew it was not an illusion. The Invincible Great Emperor was going to die…
"When exactly…"
Su Chen gazed into the boundless depths of space and suppressed the thoughts in his heart. There had been a brief moment earlier when he truly believed he would die. That Emperor had revealed killing intent toward him, even if it lasted only an instant. In the end, however, he had not acted.
Su Chen did not know what Fang Bubai intended to do… but he understood that the Emperor had developed selfish motives at this moment.
Fang Bubai would not fall into the forbidden zones. Su Chen believed his words.
A vague answer had already formed in Su Chen's mind. He gathered the members of the Ye Clan and urged them to prepare as soon as possible. That piece of news was too shocking. Su Chen sensed that the turmoil might arrive ahead of schedule.
The starry sky fell silent.
Decades later, A terrifying aura shook the entire universe. Countless powerhouses and even the Supremes of the forbidden zones awakened.
The aged figure burned rapidly. His white hair turned black once more as he charged straight toward the chaotic sea, breaking out of this starry sky. His Emperor laws transformed into killing intent, carrying his Emperor weapon as if he intended to fight his way out of this world.
Many terrifying existences guessed the Invincible Great Emperor's intention. Their gazes deepened as they watched him rush out of the universe, seemingly delivering one final strike toward the heavens above.
Could he succeed?
A massive tremor came from the other side of the universe.
The myriad Daos melted away, and the heavens wept.
Su Chen rushed out of the Ye Clan and stood at the peak of the starry sky. An intense sorrow spread through his heart.
The Invincible Great Emperor had still failed… Another old friend of the era had passed away.
Su Chen cupped his fists toward the other end of the universe.
Throughout his life, the Invincible Great Emperor had waged war against the forbidden zones. In his later years, however, he had not followed the path of previous Great Emperors—either hiding in the forbidden zones to seek immortality, launching a final assault on them before death, or finding a treasured land to bury himself in hopes of living into the future.
Instead, he had chosen to fight his way beyond the bounds of the world, seeking the legendary transcendence realm.
The moment the Invincible Great Emperor's Dao pressure vanished, the beings within the forbidden zones across the universe awakened… Some forbidden zone Supremes emerged directly, devouring entire star domains. Billions upon trillions of living beings were swallowed in a single gulp as they unleashed widespread slaughter. The myriad races suffered immense misery.

Su Chen returned to the Ye Clan and immediately ordered everyone to activate the clan's protective Emperor array.
Emperor clans protected by Emperor arrays and Emperor weapons rarely faced invasions from Supremes… but in this life, it was an exception.
Outside the Ye Clan, an unparalleled figure stood tall, radiating endless divine brilliance and clad in pure white battle armor. The aura he emanated far surpassed that of any Quasi-Emperor.
Yet at this moment, that holy aura felt deeply ironic.
"The Holy Light Supreme…"
The entire Ye Clan looked at the figure in shock.
The Holy Light Supreme was a Great Emperor of the Divine Race. After attaining the Emperor realm, he had severed himself and retreated into a forbidden zone. He had appeared in numerous Dark Turmoils throughout history.
And this time, His target was the Ye Clan.
"The Ye Clan must be destroyed!"
The Holy Light Supreme's voice was ice-cold, like a sentence of judgment. He showed no fear toward the Ye Clan's Emperor array.
This was an incredibly powerful Supreme whose aura shook the starry sky.
An ancient Supreme spoke, "The Holy Light Supreme has made his move against the Ye Clan. The Ye Clan will not be so easily destroyed. Even if we wanted to completely wipe them out, we would have to pay a heavy price. Truly too reckless."
However, another Supreme added, "The Holy Light Supreme's offspring was slain by the Ye Clan. This time, he is most likely seeking revenge for his child."
Only the ancient Supremes who had lived through the era of the Holy Light Supreme knew the truth.
The Holy Light Supreme had left behind blood descendants. They had fought on the Emperor Path, hoping one day to attain the Emperor realm. Now, the Holy Light Supreme's bloodline had been cut down by the Ye Clan.
Such a grudge might mean little to other Supremes, but for the Holy Light Supreme, who had only one offspring, it was an irreconcilable blood feud.
The Ye Clan's Emperor array activated.
"A mere Emperor array dares to stand in my way?"
The Holy Light Supreme was determined to destroy the Ye Clan and held nothing back. He had once been a supreme Emperor as well. The peerless killing array attempted to suppress everything.
The Holy Light Supreme burned his own blood and Qi, clashing violently with the supreme killing array. He intended to break the formation through sheer power.
Supremes cherished their lives… yet they had once been Supremes who ruled the universe.
Inside the Ye Clan, Su Chen watched the Holy Light Supreme fight desperately. He knew the Ye Clan's Emperor array could not stop him. After all… this was a true former Great Emperor.
"So that's how it is… I didn't expect that killing a Supreme's offspring would drive a Supreme to madness."
Su Chen sensed a familiar aura and recalled Di Shitian, whom he had killed years ago.
Di Shitian was the Holy Light Supreme's offspring—the direct son of a Great Emperor.
Within the Ye Clan, an aura awakened. It belonged to the Ye Clan's Emperor Weapon.
The Hundred Battles Golden Armor.
The Hundred Battles Golden Armor flew to Su Chen's side.
"Do you want me to wear you and go out to slay the Supreme? Very well. I am only one final step away from the ultimate leap. By slaying a Supreme and making enemies of the entire universe, I will be able to attain the Emperor realm."
Su Chen's cultivation was only one step away from the final leap. That step was destined to be tested by countless tribulations.
Su Chen donned the Hundred Battles Golden Armor. Countless Flying Immortal chains appeared in his mind and condensed into a treasure pagoda that floated above his palm. With his Flying Immortal Dao Body fully perfected and two Emperor weapons in hand, he now possessed the strength to contend with a Supreme.
Boom!
The starry sky trembled.
A golden figure wreathed in immortal light coalesced a terrifying killing intent and charged toward the Holy Light Supreme. The two broke through the Emperor array and continued their battle in the open starry sky.
The Holy Light Supreme looked at the newcomer with overwhelming killing intent. "What courage. I didn't expect you to dare come out and seek death!"
Su Chen looked at the Holy Light Supreme and said calmly, "The one who will die is you."
The Holy Light Supreme laughed furiously, "Two Emperor weapons are your only reliance? How naive!"
With a great roar, he charged straight at Su Chen. Holy light flooded the starry sky.
