Chapter 108

Every era must come to an end—even the Mythic Era, teeming with masters, was buried in the dust of history with the fall of the Sovereign.

And the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor

rose to power at the end of the Primeval Era!

As the strongest of the Battle Saint Ape lineage, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor swept through every star domain and defeated countless masters.

At the end of the Primeval Era, he fought across the world without a single equal, and all of it was for seizing the final Ancient Emperor's throne, because this heaven and earth were about to undergo a cataclysmic change!

However, just when the audience thought...

that the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor would bulldoze through all opposition like the other Great Emperors and attain the Dao to become Emperor, he encountered a foe!

This man was named Di Que!

He was the sworn enemy of the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor. He too had shaken the Primeval Era, once challenging masters of twelve clans in a single night, stunning the entire Primeval Era, and he too bore the bearing of an Ancient Emperor!

And without a doubt...

the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor and Di Que clashed.

The two fought countless times, yet neither could ever claim victory. This was undoubtedly the strongest opponent the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor had ever faced—no less than the Holy Emperor himself!

"This Di Que—he's terrifyingly strong!"

"Another existence on par with Gai Jiuyou, Chuan Ying, and Ning Fei, and he has the bearing of a top-tier Great Emperor!"

"Exactly. To be evenly matched with the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, this Di Que absolutely has the bearing of a top-tier Great Emperor. Once he attains the Dao and becomes Emperor, he will be an utterly terrifying existence!"

For a time, the audience across the myriad worlds gasped in astonishment.

Di Que's appearance was truly somewhat unexpected to them; they hadn't imagined he would be so heaven-defying!

To think that even the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, a top-tier Great Emperor, couldn't take him down, and after countless clashes still couldn't determine a victor—it was truly astonishing!

The scene continued to shift:

Without a doubt, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor and Di Que were unquestionably the two most dazzling great stars of that era. Their existence left the prodigies of every other clan dim and faded!

And as the two clashed all the way...

they fought from the Dao-Slaying realm to Saint, and from Saint to Saint King. Their many battles were recorded in the annals of the Primeval Divine Wars, shaking all later generations!

However...

in the final battle at the Saint King realm...

both sides were gravely wounded, yet Di Que seemed to receive heaven's favor and, defying all odds, lived out a second life!

Not only were his injuries fully healed, but his lifespan had doubled. This led nearly every powerhouse to favor Di Que, believing he would ultimately defeat the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor and attain the Dao to become Emperor!

Yet, unexpectedly...

the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was not defeated by this. Instead, in that unparalleled Great Saint battle, he overwhelmingly suppressed Di Que beyond any dispute...

shining across the entire Primeval Era like a heavenly god descending, becoming the final victor—the foremost under heaven!

And after this battle...

Di Que became dispirited. His life turned joyless, and his realm remained forever stuck at the Great Saint Realm.

As for the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, although he defeated Di Que, he paid an irreversible price—his body bore many Great Dao wounds that were nearly impossible to eradicate!

This caused the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor to nearly perish when attempting to break through to the Extreme Emperor Realm, and he ultimately failed!

The world all said...

if one fails the first attempt at attaining the Dao...

then it would be difficult to ever attain it in this lifetime. But the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor did not believe it, nor was he willing to accept it.

So he consumed the Immortal Peach Elixir of Immortality, thereby beginning a second life. After all his wounds had healed, he once again attempted to attain the Dao—and this time, he undoubtedly succeeded!

The era of the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor had arrived!

After that, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor forged his Extreme Emperor weapon, the Immortal Iron Staff, and then inevitably set out upon the path to immortality.

Besides this, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor had a younger brother whose talent was no less than his own. Had the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor not existed, he too would surely have become a Primeval Emperor!

At the same time...

a familiar old acquaintance appeared.

It was Great Saint Hun Tuo, who came to challenge him. This was the first challenge anyone had brought to the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor after his attainment of the Dao, and the result was undoubtedly the Holy Emperor suppressing him with a single finger!

Later, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was blessed with offspring, and like other Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors, he sealed them away!

And as the years passed...

the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor entered his twilight years.

Such is life—no matter how stunningly brilliant you are, how you sweep across the six directions, in the end you cannot hold back the years!

And like everyone else, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was unwilling to accept it. He wished to wage war upon the Immortal Path, but before he could set out, a great enemy arrived—Immortal Emperor Wuhuang!

He took advantage of the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor's inattention to launch a sneak attack...

But before the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor, a top-tier Great Emperor, Immortal Emperor Wuhuang could not easily succeed either.

Thus, the two engaged in a fierce great battle. In the end, Immortal Emperor Wuhuang retreated, but the one he had once revered as a faith had now become a despicable villain...

This undoubtedly enraged the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor beyond measure. In his fury, he directly overturned Immortal Emperor Wuhuang's Dao Ground!

After that...

the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was unwilling to simply pass away, nor willing to cut himself down. He transformed his body into a Forbidden Zone, devouring Wan Ling to achieve immortality.

So he fought with all his might, forcibly waging war upon the Immortal Path, wielding the Immortal Iron Staff as he pierced through the Nine Heavens. His supreme Emperor's might swept across the Shrouding Heavens universe, leaving all clans utterly shaken!

On that day...

the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor defied the heavens...

He wished to transform into a Battle Immortal within the mortal world, to fight his way into the Immortal Path by force, but in the end, he fell just short of success.

Though he was infinitely close to Immortality, he was ultimately not a true Battle Immortal. After his passing, the entire heaven and earth changed drastically—the life force of the Northern Domain vanished, leaving boundless barren lands where not a single blade of grass grew.

With this, the Primeval Era came to an end...

And the footage of the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor also came to an end.

"This Di Que is really fierce!"

"What a pity — after his defeat he fell into decline. Had he not, sealing himself away, he might have attained the Dao in a later age!"

"Hiss — the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor actually failed his first attempt at attaining the Dao? That was unexpected. It seems this Di Que's pressure is even greater than imagined!"

"Fortunately, he ultimately still became an Emperor. This aura is indeed far stronger than that of an ordinary flawless Great Emperor!"

"Tch — are all the Dou Zhan Sacred Apes this monstrous? Fine that the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor is so fierce, but how is his younger brother also this fierce — he too has the bearing of an Ancient Emperor?"

"Oh-ho, I see a familiar face — isn't that Hun Tuo? This jinx was quite bold when young, daring to challenge a top-tier Great Emperor. Courage commendable!"

"Hmph, the one who ambushed the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was indeed the Undying Emperor, that undying old bastard. If the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor hadn't been strong enough, he'd probably have actually succeeded in his sneak attack!"

"Hiss — is the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor really this fierce? In his twilight years he actually transformed into a War Immortal, intending to wage war on the path to immortality!"

"So strong — this aura is truly so strong. Even if he's not an Immortal, he's endlessly close. If he truly became a War Immortal, he probably wouldn't be any weaker than a Mortal World Immortal!"

"What a pity — in the end it still fell short by a hair. Had he not taken the Undying Medicine to attain the Dao, with two lifetimes of accumulation, the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor would likely have had a chance to break into the Immortal Realm!"

At this moment, the audience across the myriad worlds were filled with all manner of feelings.

There was no other reason — Di Que's strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary viewers; they had not expected this great enemy to be so terrifying.

He had actually forced the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor to fail in attaining the Dao, requiring the Undying Medicine to succeed in his second life. And the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor's combat power likewise exceeded the viewers' imagination...

The aura of his twilight transformation into a War Immortal shocked the myriad-worlds audience all the more, causing every supreme power to tremble!

Dragon Ball World.

"What a Dou Zhan Holy Emperor!"

"This aura is probably on par with an Angel!"

On the God of Destruction's planet, Beerus couldn't help but exclaim. He then raised his head to look at Sun Wukong and Vegeta and said: "Speaking of which, they're both monkeys, so why is the gap so huge?"

"......"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong and Vegeta were covered in black lines. Sun Wukong then replied: "Lord Beerus, he's a Dou Zhan Sacred Ape — we're only Saiyans!"

"Just from the names alone, there's already a huge gap, let alone the fact that he's from the Xuanhuan World!"

Honkai: Star Rail World.

"Another one?!"

The Void Star God was somewhat shaken. Even it had to be wary of the aura of the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor's twilight transformation into a War Immortal.

Undoubtedly, although the Dou Zhan Holy Emperor was not yet a true Immortal, even the Void Star God did not dare underestimate him — one careless slip and it could capsize!

And this alone was enough to demonstrate his combat power!

The screen continued to change:
