Chương 205: The Emperor's Fate (Part 21)

Since ancient times, the Heavenly Palace had given birth to no fewer than three Emperors. As a descendant of the Heavenly Palace and its current master, Di Shitian had cultivated on the Emperor Path for lifetime after lifetime. His strength was unfathomable. In the distant primordial era, he might well have become another Emperor. Unfortunately, this era was far too cruel. Su Chen's killing intent surged without equal.

The power of the Flying Immortal within his hand transformed into a divine sword as he slashed toward Di Shitian. The speed of the strike surpassed everything. At the center of Di Shitian's brows, a single eye flickered with eternal radiance, as if it could glimpse brief moments of the future. This was the legendary forbidden talent of the Divine Eye Clan! Around Di Shitian, ancient palaces materialized and merged into grand halls. He had actually refined the entire Heavenly Palace into his own domain.

Like an unparalleled Heavenly Lord, he sat cross-legged at the center of the palace while chaotic Qi churned violently around him. The sword struck the halls. Divine apparitions manifested in all directions beforehand, blocking Su Chen's Flying Immortal sword. The apparitions shattered, and from within the halls, billions of chains burst forth. Each chain could easily pierce through star seas and carried indestructible power.

Both combatants were supreme figures favored by heaven and earth in their era, each qualified to become an Emperor. This battle was a Dao-attaining war… Only the one who survived and continued forward would earn the right to become Emperor. Su Chen and Di Shitian fought fiercely. On the other side, Nangong Yunshu clashed with the Qilin True Lord. Having reversed life and lived a second lifetime, Nangong Yunshu wielded both the power of destruction and vitality, mastering two great paths.

Her combat strength far surpassed that of ordinary taboo experts. Yet the Qilin True Lord she faced was the embodiment of the demon race's auspicious omen and the greatest master of demonic arts across history. His Qilin divine techniques were unparalleled through the ages, and he actually fought her to a draw. Elsewhere, Wang Yunfei battled the master of the Demon God Palace. Wang Yunfei belonged to the same era as the Invincible Great Emperor and had never suffered defeat. His strength was extraordinary.

Legend said he was born from a flesh-and-blood demonic fetus left behind by an ancient Great Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Clan. He carried the Dao and laws of that demonic Emperor and had stood at the peak of the Emperor Path for lifetime after lifetime, all in pursuit of forging an entirely new road to become the greatest Emperor of all time.

Every living being who reached the pinnacle of the Emperor Path possessed immense ambition and willpower. Without exception, they were the most talented and monstrous geniuses to appear in this universe in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years. The terrifying aura of the battle made the beings on the Emperor Path tremble. They gazed toward its depths and wondered, "Could it be… that an Emperor war is erupting right now?" Outside the Emperor Path, countless beings raised their heads.

The horrifying aura could not be concealed.

"It's Little Chen. He's fighting a great enemy! In just three thousand years, he has already grown this powerful." Deep within the Ye Clan, an unparalleled figure stirred with emotion. Her eyes shone with both joy and melancholy. Three thousand years had passed since they last met. From the moment Su Chen first entered the Emperor Path and encountered powerful foes, every member of the Ye Clan had anxiously followed news of the Emperor Son.

He had slain great enemies, trapped and killed self-proclaimed Heavenly Kings, confronted mighty forces such as the Heavenly Palace and the Myriad Demons Mountain, established the Myriad Laws Hall, and made his name resound across the Emperor Path… As time went on, the intervals between messages reaching the Ye Clan grew longer. Decades or even centuries might pass without a word. Ye Liuli knew that the child she once knew had grown up and now possessed the qualifications to reign over the universe.

In the direction of the Divine Eye Clan, an ancient existence gazed into the distance with deep eyes.

"The Ye Clan's Emperor Son is still alive… which means he failed… Humanity… has produced far too many Emperors in succession." The void fell silent. In the direction of Falling Emperor Mountain, a sleeping true dragon awakened. On the demon race's Qilin Mountain, ancient demon gods lifted their eyes. In the demon race, demonic ancestors emerged into the world. They were all watching the outcome of this great battle. At the end of the Emperor Path, three years had passed. The battle continued without end.

Su Chen and Di Shitian traded victories and defeats. However, Di Shitian gradually sensed that the Ye Clan's Emperor Son he was fighting had been improving steadily over these three years. If he did not kill him soon, the young man would likely advance even further. Sensing Di Shitian's killing intent and wariness, Su Chen raised his head. The light of the Flying Immortal illuminated the chaotic region. Immortal patterns spread across his body.

With the pressure from Di Shitian as a whetstone, Su Chen had fused the Hundred Battles Emperor Scripture and the Flying Immortal Emperor Scripture into one, forming the embryonic form of a terrifying new path. He had originally thought this fusion would require centuries or even millennia, yet under Di Shitian's relentless pressure, he had accomplished it in merely three years.
