Chapter 143: Supreme Falls!

In the Immortal Road Battlefield.

The situation on both sides could be described as drastically changed.

From the Wushi Great Emperor's failure to break through the Immortal Road and his heavy injuries, to Gu Xuan's manifestation, and then to the Stone Emperor's fall, the actual time was very short — merely a few moves.

In just such a short time, the Source God, the Lord of Reincarnation, and the Stone Emperor had already been killed one after another!

On the battlefield, only the Undying Heavenly Emperor, Chang Sheng Tian Zun, the Spirit Emperor, and the Source Ghost — the Four Great Supremes — remained.

Seeing the instant the Stone Emperor's Primordial Spirit self-destructed, the eyes of these four all turned red!

Clearly it was four against two, and they still held the numerical advantage, yet their hearts had already turned cold as ice.

They had also lived through ten thousand ages, had also yearned for the Immortal Road, yet now it seemed they had already seen the scene of themselves being killed, blood splattering the starry sky.

This feeling was unprecedentedly intense.

And the longer one lived, the more one had discarded, the more one feared the result of total annihilation — like the Undying Heavenly Emperor and Chang Sheng Tian Zun.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuan and Wu Shi's offensive remained fierce and unmatched; every move, every strike, unleashed the utmost Heavenly Emperor-level might.

While desperately resisting, Chang Sheng Tian Zun and the others couldn't help but shout toward the direction of the several great Forbidden Zones of the Beidou Star, their voices resounding through the starry sky.

"Dao Friends, the situation has now drastically changed; if you do not act now, when will you wait? Do you truly intend to wait until they defeat you one by one?"

"These two have already seized the great momentum; the Forbidden Zones are in peril. If you and I do not join forces to resist the enemy, I fear in the future we will also find it hard to preserve ourselves!"

Such questioning was naturally a warning to the Supremes in the Six Great Forbidden Zones who had not yet appeared, hoping a few more would come to kill Gu Xuan and Wu Shi.

Because they were in the midst of this God War, their spiritual perception was the most profound.

Existences like Gu Xuan and Wu Shi were already in no way inferior to the Imperial Venerables of the past.

Such figures — even if only one existed in the world — would be a threat to the Life Forbidden Zones; how much more so with two, who might well join forces to flatten the Forbidden Zones one by one.

And indeed.

The next moment.

Above the Beidou Ancient Star, the Heaven and Earth's qi fell into disorder.

The Immortal Mausoleum, the Divine Ruins, the Reincarnation Sea, the Upper Heaven, and other Forbidden Zones all trembled violently; several powerful auras broke through the Nine Heavens, as if someone was about to appear in the world.

These people were all Provers of the Dao of the past, figures who had walked out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood; their spiritual perception and wisdom had long since reached the absolute peak of the mortal world, so they could naturally see through the situation.

They truly glimpsed, from the current God War, that ominous glimmer of the several great Forbidden Zones' destruction in the near future.

Because the Holy Emperor and Wu Shi joining forces truly had the possibility of flattening the several great Forbidden Zones!

However.

With a boom, the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground that had been silent for ten thousand ages also underwent a drastic change at this moment.

A magnificent Bronze Immortal Palace flew up, reflecting past, present, and future, and in one move suppressed the sky above the Beidou Ancient Star, also suppressing the several great Life Forbidden Zones.

"Is it her?!"

At this moment, in the Reincarnation Sea, the Divine Ruins, and the Immortal Mausoleum, people exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the Bronze Immortal Palace, atop which stood a Peerless female emperor.

"Another such figure!"

Someone sighed; the implication needed no further explanation.

Such a sentence made one tremble.

The several great Forbidden Zones all fell silent for a time; the many Supremes instantly thought of a great deal.

The female emperor, too, had long since, like Gu Xuan and Wu Shi, undergone transformation through numbered lifetimes, achieving a Heavenly Emperor-level existence.

And her manifestation ultimately caused the situation to change once more; the several great Forbidden Zones all instantly hesitated, as if weighing their options.

And just within this delicate situation.

In the Immortal Road Battlefield, the battle's situation underwent another drastic change.

"Kill!"

The Source Ghost laughed miserably; he had been struck by the Wushi Great Emperor's Imperial Fist, and half his body was destroyed.

Unwilling to accept it, he directly mobilized the Great Dao laws, unleashing the final strike of his life.

It was Divine Source power condensed to the utmost, dazzling and brilliant, light rain filling the sky, causing all the stars in the Heavens and Worlds to ignite, making the two powerhouses Chang Sheng Tian Zun and the Spirit Emperor tremble in shock and cry out as they retreated to the side.

Using his remaining Emperor's Corpse as a guide, the Source Ghost ignited the power of Dao Transformation, intending to use this to kill Wu Shi, seeking mutual destruction.

This was the Dao Transformation power of an Imperial Path-level expert, the most terrifying; everyone had to avoid and retreat, extremely difficult to neutralize.

However.

Wu Shi remained perfectly calm, reaching out a large hand; golden runes were endless, the Imperial Palm descending like clouds hanging from the sky, Dao Marks densely covering it, grasping the Source Ghost and his Divine Source Dao Transformation strike entirely within it.

In an instant, it was as if the entire Xing Hai lay within his palm; terrifying, shocking ten thousand ages.

With a hiss, like a Xing Hai's total annihilation, the Source Ghost's entire person turned to flying ash, utterly annihilated.

One less Supreme!

With the fall of the Source God and the Source Ghost, the Zhu Xian Sword Array diagram that had originally been suspended above the Firmament could no longer remain stable.

Wu Shi rushed up in reverse, blasting the array diagram away, and it could no longer interfere with him.

Such a domineering and fierce scene made Chang Sheng Tian Zun and the Spirit Emperor's pupils contract sharply, their hearts instantly sensing the great momentum was gone.

In fact, not only them; the other Supremes also saw this point.

Coupled with the female emperor's suppression from the air in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Ground, in the several great Life Forbidden Zones of Beidou, ultimately no Ancient Venerable appeared again.

In fact.

Making the Forbidden Zones' Supremes join forces against the enemy was originally an extremely difficult thing.

Because for ten thousand ages, the several great Forbidden Zones had each been supreme in their own right, even hostile toward one another; it was almost impossible for them to be of one mind.

Human hearts are always like this; this is an inevitability.

No one would have thought that today's situation would arise, that in the Great Universe there could simultaneously appear existences like Gu Xuan and Wu Shi who threaten the several great Forbidden Zones.

Even the Imperial Venerables of the Mythological Era did not possess such prestige; they could only negotiate amiably with the various Supremes.

Never having anticipated this, there was no such contingency plan; the forbidden zone's people could not reach agreement in an instant, and hesitation or doubt was inevitable.

However.

Yet in that very moment, the outcome of the Immortal Road Battlefield was already essentially sealed.

With a boom, Wushi struck with a flip of his palm, killing into the midst of the two Supremes, like a tiger among sheep, sweeping all before him, successively shaking Chang Sheng Tian Zun and the Spirit Emperor into coughing up blood.

This was the essential gap in Emperor Power, one they could not match even joining forces.

Moreover, the Zhu Xian Sword Array had already slipped from control and could no longer interfere with Wushi.

"Cough cough..."

Chang Sheng Tian Zun's face was grim; in a daze, he had already seen his own curtain call.

Was it really coming to this moment?

Alas, having lived through countless ages, he ultimately still failed to see an Immortal!

"Ah..."

Chang Sheng Tian Zun roared; at this moment, his heart held only endless regret.

Perhaps a trace of regret flickered—if back then he had fully cooperated with the Emperor Venerable to attack the Immortal Road, would there have been a trace of possibility?

Yet he knew clearly in his heart that such an ending would not have been any better.

Or perhaps, when he had sensed Yao Huang Xue Yue Qing conquering the Cheng Xian Tong Dao, if he had emerged from Di Fu to join forces with her, success might have been possible?

But that was likely a mirage.

And the great battle to come had no suspense whatsoever.

Wushi unleashed one punch, sending the Spirit Emperor's Spirit Blade flying behind him, then swept forward, sweeping all before him; no matter how fiercely Chang Sheng Tian Zun opposed, he could not withstand it.

After a moment, with a puff, Chang Sheng Tian Zun was trampled by Wushi Great Emperor into the Star Depths, split into four and five pieces, dying an unnatural death.

A generation's Tian Zun, the creator of the Zhe character secret, fell just like that!

The Spirit Emperor was horrified, sacrificing his Spirit Blade to explode with full power, yet his True Body turned and fled, desiring to escape far into the Star Depths.

Better to perish utterly and be laid to rest in Bian Huang than die as miserably as several Dao Friends.

However, it was already too late, for the gap was simply too great.

"Want to escape? Who can leave?"

The next moment.

Wushi stepped forward, seemingly slow, yet each step covered half of Taiyu; Heaven and Earth wailed, Ten Thousand Daos submitted, and he caught up to the Spirit Emperor.

"Boom!"

Blood mist filled the Star Depths, that was Imperial Blood transformed from Innate Essence Qi, priceless beyond compare, yet at this moment it flowed so grandly.

The Spirit Emperor was also slain!

With a hum, the array diagram of the Zhu Xian Sword Array sought to fly away from this Heaven and Earth, but was instantly seized by Wushi's great hand, unable to break free; the same went for the two Killing Swords.

As for the other two Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons, they had already been half-destroyed in the previous great battle, leaving only some Divine Gold fragments.

On the other side.

Undying Heavenly Emperor had long fought to the point of frenzy, his eyes even reddened; he never imagined the result would be this today.

His Longevity Dream, his return to the Immortal Domain, his revenge against Wushi—all would turn to bubbles!

Everything changed because of the existence of Gu Xuan, this Jin Ren Holy Body who became Emperor.

If he could reverse time, he truly wished to return to the past and erase this Jin Ren he once deemed weak to the extreme!

He himself was in the midst of transformation, watching helplessly as this man went from weak to strong, achieving Saint Body Great Perfection, finally breaking through Ten Thousand Daos to become Emperor, while he had not acted early enough; now thinking back, it was truly hateful.

However.

These were merely afterthoughts, utterly useless.

Now regret came too late, and even if he wanted to escape, he could not; even with the Immortal Phoenix Lineage's concealment art it was useless, for he had been locked onto by Gu Xuan—only one battle remained.

But how could he, strong as he was, match the Gu Xuan of today? He was no match; there was a gap.

"Clang!"

The Five-Colored Heaven Knife left the Chaos Square Vessel, vanished into the void, then appeared behind Gu Xuan, hacking down to break his Immortal Platform.

At the same time, Undying Heavenly Emperor struck with full power, burning the Immortal Phoenix Lineage's essence blood, likewise releasing Heavenly Emperor-level might.

He was fighting desperately, attacking front and back, hoping to severely wound Gu Xuan before Wushi Great Emperor arrived, perhaps with a chance to escape the battlefield.

However.

Wushi Great Emperor had already ended the great battle with the Four Great Supremes; Ancient Emperor Blood stained his white clothes, and without bothering to collect the battlefield, he rushed over.

He cut off Undying Heavenly Emperor's retreat; the outcome was already sealed.

However, Gu Xuan did not invite him to act; he let out a long cry, fully displaying the Dao Sacrifice Heavenly Art, his whole body seeming to transform into brilliant Immortal Light, sweeping forward.

"Hum!"

Facing the Undying Heaven Knife behind him, Gu Xuan did not look back; his Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon, the Chaos Square Vessel, reversed the Time Dao and returned directly behind its Owner.

Then, a wave of Emperor Power with unmatched prestige erupted, like a Great Universe crushing down; with a clang, it directly shattered the Five-Colored Heaven Knife.

At the same time.

His gray hair flew, his eyes like cold lightning, he evolved his Forbidden Chapter's Ultimate Secret Technique, reaching the absolute peak of this life!

"Puff!"

In the most violent Heavenly Emperor-level Dao confrontation, one of Undying Heavenly Emperor's Phoenix Immortal Wings was torn off, the strongest Imperial Rain poured down, as if a torrential blood rain fell, desperate and bloody.

"Boom!"

Gu Xuan's face was cold beyond measure, mercilessly suppressing and killing, cleaving Undying Heavenly Emperor into two halves.

Under the terrifying Imperial Dao law's cutting and roaming, even the Immortal Phoenix Lineage's supreme Recovery Secret Technique, comparable to the Zhe character secret of the Nine Secrets, was useless, for his Primordial Spirit had already been torn apart, making survival difficult.

"Cough cough..."

The Undying Heavenly Emperor, blood gushing from his whole body like a spring, smiled miserably and said: "In my youth I mistakenly entered a Void Crack that appears only once in ten thousand ages, fell from the Immortal Domain into the mortal world, and through one life after another bathed in imperial blood to reincarnate in reverse, only to return — never expecting to fall on the road……"

Everyone who heard these words was an existence of Supreme Being cultivation level; not a single person failed to be horrified.

The information contained within was too shocking.

Immortal Domain, bathing in imperial blood, Immortal Phoenix……

Among this, especially "Immortal Domain" was the most world-shaking, causing numerous Supreme Beings to tremble violently!

Because the Undying Heavenly Emperor was too mysterious, having lived through ten thousand ancient years, he had never discussed the Dao with the existences in the several Life Forbidden Zones of the Beidou Ancient Star,

even in this life using a Dao Body to conceal heavenly secrets, entering the Immortal Mausoleum, Taichu Ancient Mine and several other Forbidden Zones to form alliances and maneuver horizontally and vertically, wanting to ambush-kill Wu Shi, it was absolutely impossible for him to discuss his origins with them, let alone mention the location of the Immortal Domain.

Even though they differed from ordinary cultivators, the various Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings each had their own Immortal Dao insights or understandings, and were quite confident whether the Immortal Domain truly existed, but after all they still had not been able to truly confirm it.

But now hearing it personally from the Undying Heavenly Emperor's mouth was naturally completely different.

However.

Gu Xuan and Wu Shi naturally would not be too surprised, because they had long known this point, and even knew much more.

He pressed down with one palm, heaven collapsed and earth split, thoroughly killing the Undying Heavenly Emperor, his Primordial Spirit shattered.

Then the Chaos Square Vessel flew out, collecting all his shattered body and Primordial Spirit fragments inside, gave a gentle shake, and only flying ash fell down, while on the vessel's wall a Heavenly Emperor imprint appeared.

At this point, the seven Ancient Venerables who came to ambush-kill the "twilight years heavily injured" Wu Shi were all killed, not a single one escaped!

This is absolutely the greatest upheaval in ten thousand ages, surpassing even the curtain call of the Emperors in the mythological era.

Its intensity of ferocity also surpasses that of the past when Gu Xuan and Void together ambushed and killed several Forbidden Zone Supreme Beings.

At the final moment of the God War, the battle light and shadows here, along with Great Dao fragments, transmitted to the deep parts of the universe, were captured by the supreme treasures of the various supreme races and major powers of the Heavens and Worlds, shocking them to the utmost, causing the universe Hong Huang to tremble.

Even the supreme gods of the primordial ten thousand races — the Undying Heavenly Emperor has fallen too, unbelievable, unimaginable!

"The Holy Emperor reappears in the world!"

"Wushi Great Emperor!"

Numerous old sages and old Great Saints spread the news to the many regions of their respective stars; at this moment the entire universe boiled.

Countless cultivators were excited beyond measure, all shouting the names of Gu Xuan and Wu Shi, because it was truly too shocking.

Seventy or eighty thousand years have passed, the Holy Emperor is actually still alive, and completely unlike Forbidden Zone existences who self-sever, causing amazement.

Even more people thought further: a Dark Turmoil that might have occurred has once again been pacified by the Holy Emperor, avoiding the deaths of hundreds of millions of living beings.

This is by no means empty talk, for if Wu Shi Great Emperor had truly been defeated, among the seven Ancient Emperors someone might have taken the opportunity to replenish their Blood Qi.

But now it is different; with two such peerless existences suppressing the world, the several Life Forbidden Zones must fall silent, and even face liquidation.

And the subsequent development of matters also verified this speculation.
