Chapter 339

"Reckless!"

Deep within the Ultimate Ancient Land, the Corpse Emperor's eyes grew cold; after all, he was a Road's End-level Emperor.

Yet he had been repeatedly ignored by Emperor Huang Tian, who back then was only a Preliminary Emperor—what if he became a true Emperor? Would he not step on my head to defecate?

The scene continued to shift:

【If you have the guts, then kill me.】

【After uttering this bold reply, Emperor Huang Tian sat cross-legged once more, and one hundred thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.】

【During those one hundred thousand years, Emperor Huang Tian's strength continuously grew, even undergoing another transformation—I saw hope in him; he was nearly there!】

【But at the final moment...】

【Emperor Huang Tian still halted—he dared not force his way into the Emperor Realm, and this eased my breath, for he had not yet forged his own Emperor Law...】

【But I could see he had already made progress—he was forging his own system, creating an invincible method.】

【He might ascend to Emperorhood very soon!】

【But one day...】

【Something occurred on him that even he could not understand—I do not know what it was.】

【But what I did know was that he forged his own invincible method—and at the very instant he created it, he briefly entered the Emperor Realm!】

【This delighted me—and also stirred fear in my darkened self; he could no longer sit still.】

【Eliminate geniuses—cover the heavens with one hand!】

【Those who defy the Emperor's will shall only die!】

【Finally, my darkened self revived again; his gaze turned strange, and he sat upright at once, the cosmic chains of order on his body nearly snapping.】

【The next instant, two astonishing divine beams shot from his eyes, striking toward my pure Primordial Spirit.】

【In response, I exerted every ounce of strength to resist.】

【As for Emperor Huang Tian 697...】

【He merely watched coldly; I wanted him to act, but when I saw his expression, I knew he would not intervene—so I did not beg for help.】

【Perhaps this is fate—he does not believe in me, refuses to leave; if so, then this is his calamity.】

【We were originally of the same origin...】

【Today, we must merge as one!】

【As my darkened self spoke, my pure Primordial Spirit's memories revived, then unleashed boundless divine might, lunging at Emperor Huang Tian to kill him.】

【Yet Emperor Huang Tian had been guarding against me all along—my assassination failed to achieve results.】

【I was slashed away by a single sword stroke!】

【But under that sword strike...】

【My pure Primordial Spirit was not obliterated; instead, it was pulled by my darkened self deep into the Ultimate Ancient Land, fusing with that Emperor corpse!】

【I never expected to return to my physical body...】

【I am still I, but you are no longer you!】

【At this moment, as my Primordial Spirit mark was drawn into the Emperor body, I understood everything—and sighed bitterly; I knew I had ultimately failed to stop this.】

【What difference is there to speak of?】

【You are me, I am you!】

【My darkened self replied, and then we conversed, recounting past events to Huang.】

【In bygone days, I too was an Emperor who cherished all under heaven—but during my breakthrough, I was corrupted by darkness, and ended up in this monstrous state!】

【I told you to leave, but you refused; now your troubles have come—you will likely perish here today!】

【With my last remaining consciousness, I sighed helplessly—I truly had high hopes for Emperor Huang Tian, but he has not yet become an Emperor; he is no match for me!】

【Do you think...】

【It's hard for me to kill you?】

【It's actually simple—I'll prove it to you.】

【These were the words of my darkened self—and the next instant, an assassination against Emperor Huang Tian erupted in a flash; the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand suddenly erupted.】

【Boundless sword light surged forth, radiating the terrifying aura of an Emperor, slashing toward Emperor Huang Tian's body.】

【Ssshh!】

【This scene was unexpected by Emperor Huang Tian.】

【He never imagined the Great Luo Sword Embryo, which had fought beside him for ages, would turn on its master—but how could he have known?】

【This sword embryo was originally my weapon—not a Preliminary Emperor artifact, but an Emperor-grade Embryo, forged by me from scraps of the bronze coffin.】

【Boom!】

【An Emperor's sword strike was terrifying.】

【The Great Luo Sword Embryo unleashed unprecedented, dreadful power; the sword light tore through countless eons and heavens, its might sufficient to annihilate all things in existence...】

【Not even time or space could block it.】

【But...】

【Emperor Huang Tian was no weakling.】

【Though not yet a true Emperor, he had entered the Emperor Realm multiple times; facing this assault, he stepped forward and vanished from his original spot.】

【The next instant, he appeared at the edge of heaven and earth.】

【Too bad...】

【It was utterly futile!】

【He still did not comprehend how terrifying an Emperor truly was—Emperor-level cultivators possess domains that can eternally exile enemies within silent spacetime.】

【Therefore, no matter what method he used, he could never escape the Great Luo Sword Embryo's slash.】

【Under this sword...】

【No one beneath the Immortal Emperor can stand against it!】

【No other reason—this sword can obliterate the multiverse; it is tragic that a great Emperor shall perish here.】

【For Emperor Huang Tian, I truly grieve, for I had placed great hopes in him—yet in the end, he could not escape, and was struck by this sword!】

【Boundless, lawless, unshackled!】

【What I never expected was that at the final critical moment, Emperor Huang Tian once again stood firm in the Path-End Immortal Emperor realm, seeking to shatter eternity.】

【Kill!】

【Unfortunately, my darkened self would not grant him an opening—even across the light screen, I unleashed immense power.】

【I activated my forbidden secret art; in an instant, boundless dark energy surged forth, directly grievously wounding Emperor Huang Tian even through the void.】

At this moment, the comment section erupted:

"Whoa, Emperor Huang Tian's power is advancing so fast—he nearly succeeded in breaking through to Immortal Emperor!"

"Fortunately, Emperor Huang Tian didn't force a breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor realm, since his Immortal Emperor Law hasn't been created yet—forcing it would have meant certain failure!"

"But he's already got a lead—he's forging his own system, creating his own invincible art; perhaps soon he'll ascend to Immortal Emperor!"

"Huh? What's going on? Why does Emperor Huang Tian look so bewildered? Has he discovered something?"

"I don't know, but did you feel that instant just now? Emperor Huang Tian broke through—briefly ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm, though he quickly fell back!"

"I felt it too—that aura was incredibly strong, just like the Corpse Immortal Emperor's. I suspect Emperor Huang Tian created his invincible art in that moment!"

"Whoa, the Corpse Immortal Emperor is restless—Emperor Huang Tian is nearing Immortal Emperor realm, and he feels threatened. Is he planning to launch a full assault to kill Emperor Huang Tian?"

"No, Emperor Huang Tian, stop him! If the Corpse Immortal Emperor absorbs that pure Primordial Spirit, he'll return to his Peak Era!"

"Alas, Emperor Huang Tian has always guarded against the Primordial Spirit mark—how could he possibly lend aid? Now it's up to Emperor Huang Tian alone—may he survive!"

"They've merged—but the Corpse Immortal Emperor is utterly darkened; this pure Primordial Spirit's return cannot sway his core, it can only add to his power!"

"Now Emperor Huang Tian is truly in danger. Though he once ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm, he is not a true Immortal Emperor—and now he faces the Corpse Immortal Emperor..."

"Even Emperor Huang Tian likely cannot prevail. We only hope he flees—run, escape!"

"It's over—he can't escape. The Immortal Emperor is too powerful, and Emperor Huang Tian never realized the Great Luo Sword Embryo was the Corpse Immortal Emperor's weapon—he's been backstabbed!"

"Alas, who could have imagined that the weapon he fought alongside for so long was a Path-End Immortal Emperor weapon?"

"Whoa, is this sword too terrifying? The blade-light tore through countless eons and heavens—such dreadful power seems ready to annihilate all existence!"

"This sword may nearly reach the infinite multiverse level—perhaps even capable of obliterating infinite multiverses with a single strike. Is this the true might of an Immortal Emperor?"

"He can't escape—Emperor Huang Tian cannot escape. Even through the screen, I feel desperate for him—he's trapped in the Immortal Emperor's domain!"

"Just as the Corpse Immortal Emperor said—he truly has no trouble killing Emperor Huang Tian. It's almost easy. Emperor Huang Tian has no chance to retaliate!"

"Just the Immortal Emperor's domain alone grants him invincibility—let alone a sword of an Immortal Emperor. Emperor Huang Tian is not an Immortal Emperor—this is truly dire!"

"No, wait—there's still hope! At this critical moment, Emperor Huang Tian once again stands firm in the Immortal Emperor realm—this means he can break free of the Immortal Emperor's domain!"
