Eternal Holy Emperor

When the Great Emperor took action, even with the endless Forbidden Heavenly Thunder constantly descending to obstruct him, the terror was boundless.

However, Ye Chen had his plan set. If he couldn’t match the adversary, couldn’t he at least escape?

With the mutual assistance of the Great Emperor Reincarnation and the Desolate Great Halberd, Ye Chen unleashed the Traversing Secret Technique. His current speed was countless times faster than before, crossing the Star Domain was a matter of a blink of an eye, no less impressive than the Ancient Monarch.

Yet, to a Great Emperor, transporting through the starry sky or even across the Chaos Sea was achievable, able to catch up with Ye Chen in the blink of an eye and impose the Emperor’s Might attacks.

Boom, boom, boom—

In the apocalyptic end-time of the Mythical Great Destruction, within the fierce battle between the Sealing Realm Emperors and Alien Race Emperors, Ye Chen was pursued by an Alien Emperor, fleeing swiftly across the vast Ancient Divine Realm of the past, entering the starry sky, only to return again to the Ancient Divine Realm.

Undoubtedly, Ye Chen planned to delay time, striving to drag it out until he could return to reality.

However, dreams are full, but reality is cruel.

His speed was indeed swift, but Emperor Guchu’s speed was much faster, always able to easily hunt Ye Chen down. Each attack made Ye Chen’s Great Emperor Reincarnation body constantly fracture, creating many cracks and continuously bleeding.

Facing the attack of a true Great Emperor, let alone the sevenfold Great Perfection Emperor Body forming the Great Emperor Reincarnation, even a complete Great Perfection Emperor Body might be unable to withstand it, as the adversary also held the essential Emperor Soul, stepping into the Emperor Domain, mastering the universe’s essence as the foundation of strength.

Boom—

The boundless Emperor’s Might surged out from the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder’s shroud, once again falling upon Ye Chen, accompanied by the boundless Emperor’s Killing Intent. This time, the densely cracked Great Emperor Reincarnation body, akin to porcelain, was thoroughly fracturing, with the Desolate Great Halberd shaking and releasing its grasp.

With no other choice, Ye Chen had to operate the sevenfold Emperor Origin, quickly repairing the cracked Great Emperor Reincarnation body.

This level of Emperor Origin was diminishing with each use, impossible to regain, unless he someday reached the Emperor Domain to restore it. Hence, he felt much heartache even over slight Emperor Origin loss, especially since repairing the Great Emperor Reincarnation body directly diminished it a small size.

Yet, he understood well; this was not the time for heartache. If his life was at risk, what use was the Great Emperor Reincarnation body?

"Great Annihilation Finger!"

Boom—

Emperor Guchu’s Emperor Finger pointed out once more, even more terrifying than the two fingers that previously shattered the five layers of the Reincarnation Six-layer Coffin, even erupting the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder momentarily.

This finger completely locked onto Ye Chen’s Qi Mechanism, destined to strike regardless of his escape.

Ye Chen no longer chose to flee. The seemingly immature seven-year-old Great Emperor Reincarnation body let out a sudden roar, with pitch-black long hair exploding, unleashing unparalleled Qi Mechanism, wielding the strongest Forbidden Divine Power from the Combat Saint Technique—

Combat Heaven Slaying!

Boom—

The Desolate Great Halberd resonated deeply, instantly erupting with Emperor Level waves, Ye Chen, using the Forbidden Divine Power of the Combat Saint Lineage, resonated with the Desolate Great Halberd, elevating its power to the utmost degree, followed by a collision with Emperor Guchu’s Great Annihilation Finger capable of annihilating the Heavenly and Myriads of Worlds.

Boom, boom, boom—

The void of countless billions of miles utterly annihilated, with the Ancient Divine Realm collapsing terrifyingly, shaking an unfathomably vast area.

This collision left the Desolate Great Halberd completely dimmed, with the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land groaning under heavy damage, even causing many cracks in the halberd, then flying from his hand, seemingly lost to the Mythical Era.

But at this moment, Ye Chen was helpless, even he himself was hard-pressed, his Great Emperor Reincarnation body once again covered in cracks, even with numerous broken tendons and bones, nearly shattered to pieces.

The Supreme Daoist Body suffered immense impacts, resulting in splits, while the Chaos Saint Soul was fortunate to be protected; otherwise, it would certainly face obliteration.

Yet, even so, his Chaos Saint Soul was profoundly affected, dimming several times over, immensely weakened.

This strike left Ye Chen’s Form and Spirit thoroughly devastated, almost annihilated.

He exerted all efforts to operate the Holy Body Regeneration Technique, rapidly depleting a small circle of Emperor Origin, allowing Form and Spirit to recover.

Moreover, at this moment, his figure began to appear ethereal, finally setting off to depart from the Mythical Era, returning to the River of Time, back to reality.

"Predecessor, please return soon!"

Ye Chen called out, wielding the Combat Saint Technique, using the supreme Great Emperor Reincarnation body to summon back the dimmed Desolate Great Halberd.

This was the moment when he was truly becoming ethereal, returning to reality.

Alien Race, Emperor Guchu, seeing this scene, immediately roared, his voice transcending time, imbued with vast killing intent rushing forth endlessly: "This emperor paid a great price, only to summon you back in this life, and cannot allow you to leave alive, perish!"

Boom—

Emperor Guchu attacked recklessly, even though the Forbidden Heavenly Thunder in the Heavenly Dome became terrifyingly more intense, seemingly capable of annihilating everything, causing him to keep coughing blood, dripping Emperor’s Blood, yet he still attacked Ye Chen, who was ethereally returning to the future.

Pft, pft, pft—

Visibly, Ye Chen’s previous series of attacks had merely caused a few drops of Emperor’s Blood to drip from Emperor Guchu’s Immortal Emperor Body, now resulting in many dreadful blood holes, with Emperor’s Blood continuously flowing, all imposed upon and submerged with the most terrifying Emperor’s Killing Intent, directed towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen felt the most terrifying killing intent and even more an existential crisis arising from the deepest part of his heart.

This time, he truly had nowhere to escape, under this strongest Emperor’s attack, even the Great Emperor Reincarnation body would perish.

He indeed had nowhere to go.

Boom—

Suddenly, that dimmed Desolate Great Halberd erupted with unmatched supreme golden light, unexpectedly revived at this critical moment, moreover surpassing its past, awakened in the most pinnacle state, with a towering Emperor’s Shadow identical to the Wuxiang King standing tall, as if the first King of ancient and modern times had returned.

"Predecessor!"

Ye Chen’s heart trembled suddenly, he realized what the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land was about to do, tried to open his mouth to stop, but the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land’s stature was towering, resolutely charging towards Emperor Guchu, only a voice reaching Ye Chen’s mind: "Little one, you are the descendant of the Combat Saint Lineage, the Chaos Young Supreme, and the key figure in sealing realms, you cannot die, so you must live."

"I’ve lived long enough, and not truly a living being, just a Warrior God, dying in battle is my only destiny."

"Sadly, I cannot see the master’s heaven-defying return."

"Goodbye—"

A farewell, accompanied by boundless light, it was the Heavenly Desolate Divine Land’s unwavering charge towards Emperor Guchu, burning its body to unleash the strongest strike, crashing against a true Great Emperor.
