Chapter 2640

Empress Chihuang knew that saying anything more was useless.

The Three Lives Emperor's philosophy had long been set in stone; once he had decided on this path, he would follow it to the very end.

"Incorrigible?"

"I, on the other hand, feel that the current me is the most clear-headed."

The Three Lives Emperor was noncommittal.

Empress Chihuang's aura surged.

Vaguely, behind her, a phantom of a Divine Phoenix seemed to emerge, carrying a sense of transcendence.

Seeing this, the Three Lives Emperor wore an indifferent expression.

"Chihuang, I didn't expect you to actually be able to undo the Blood Moon Seven Absolute Curse."

"However, you were severely injured before, and even if you have recovered now, you are still far from your peak cultivation."

"The current you is far from being my match."

Empress Chihuang's physical body had previously been suppressed in the Demon-Suppressing Domain.

Meanwhile, her reincarnated form had been constantly besieged by forces such as the Origin Universe's Three Lives Hall.

Therefore, for such long, drawn-out ages, Empress Chihuang had made no progress.

Now, although she had awakened and her spirit and body were one.

It was clear that she was still far from her peak.

As for the Three Lives Emperor, he had been hiding behind the scenes, developing his strength throughout such a long period of time.

So now, the moment the Three Lives Emperor emerged, he possessed his peak cultivation, his essence and energy were surging, and his state was better than ever before.

Comparing the two, Empress Chihuang was clearly at an absolute disadvantage against the Three Lives Emperor.

"Even if I am not your match, I cannot just stand by and watch you slaughter the Origin Universe," Empress Chihuang said coldly.

"What truly noble justice. We shall see if you have the ability to do so."

The Three Lives Emperor let out a cold laugh.

He did not care about the common people of the Origin Universe.

He did not even care about the common people of the Boundary Sea.

Because he was not originally from this world, so naturally, there was no talk of any sense of belonging.

His only goal was to become an immortal and become stronger; that was all.

There were no more unnecessary words.

The Three Lives Emperor made his move, and the vast power of mythology swept across the heavens and the universe.

Empress Chihuang also made her move, a Divine Phoenix appearing behind her, as if the sound of a phoenix cry resonated throughout the entire Origin Universe.

"That fluctuation—someone has stepped in to stop the Three Lives Emperor!"

"The one stopping the Three Lives Emperor... is that mysterious Empress!"

Some gazes spying from the shadows were incomparably astonished to see Empress Chihuang make her move and engage in a great battle with the Three Lives Emperor.

"How is this possible? It is actually that mysterious Empress who betrayed the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor who has stepped in to stop the Three Lives Emperor?"

"Could there be some hidden story behind this?"

"Could it be that for all these years, our hunting of the Empress's reincarnated form was the wrong choice?"

Many cultivators, living beings, and forces of the Origin Universe could not believe it.

All along, the Three Lives Emperor had been a hero of the Origin Universe whose name would go down in history.

And the mysterious Empress was a traitor who betrayed the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor and was reviled by everyone.

But what about now?

The Three Lives Hall was slaughtering wantonly.

The Three Lives Emperor, like a mad demon, was destroying various forces at will.

In this short period of time, the number of living beings who had died at his hands was more than hundreds of millions.

And now, it was the Blood Clan that had stepped in to fight the Three Lives Hall's forces.

Empress Chihuang, who had been spurned and hunted by the Origin Universe, had stepped in to stop the Three Lives Emperor.

What kind of irony was this?

An old antique could not help but let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"What have I seen? An existence revered as a hero is actually a demon."

"And the demoness who fell into the Blood Clan has become the savior."

Many cultivators and living beings of the Origin Universe were silent.

Especially those forces that had once besieged the Empress's reincarnated form felt a sense of regret and shame.

Many people felt it was very ironic, and even more so, shameful.

The Empress and the Blood Clan, whom they had called to be beaten and killed, were actually the ones saving them.

And the Three Lives Emperor and the Three Lives Hall, whom they had worshipped, were the black hands behind the scenes.

Could there be anything more ironic or ridiculous than this?

And immediately, hatred for the Three Lives Emperor was born in the hearts of these people!

That's right, they had all been deceived by the Three Lives Emperor!

"The Three Lives Emperor is the true black hand behind the scenes, the source of evil!"

"That's right, we were all blinded by him..."

Such is human nature.

Although there was no lack of people reflecting on themselves.

But more people pushed the responsibility onto the Three Lives Emperor.

Believing that it was he who had fooled the masses.

Although this was indeed a fact.

But human nature is such that people are unwilling to admit their mistakes.

They were unwilling to admit that they had not carefully thought about or investigated the truth hidden behind ancient history.

They just followed the crowd; whatever everyone else believed, they believed.

They never questioned, never thought.

Only Jun Xiaoyao, after learning about the mysterious Empress at the very beginning.

Felt it was too suspicious, which is why he set out to investigate and wanted to get to the bottom of the truth.

But how many people were there like Jun Xiaoyao who thought calmly and investigated the truth seriously?

The vast majority were just a rabble.

Meanwhile, the Three Lives Emperor and Empress Chihuang were locked in a fierce battle, as if they were melting the entire universe.

"You have been completely exposed; all living beings know your true face," Empress Chihuang said.

"So what? They are just a group of ignorant rabble."

"The reason I hid it before was only for the power of faith from all living beings; now, it is no longer needed."

"As for you, is it worth it to protect this group of ignorant masses?" the Three Lives Emperor said coldly.

"There is no question of whether it is worth it or not; I just want to stop you."

Empress Chihuang made her move again, gorgeous phoenix wings appearing behind her.

She activated her most primitive bloodline power.

With a flap of her phoenix wings, brilliant firelight submerged the heavens and earth, as if turning the entire universe into a melting furnace.

Runes filled the void, intending to imprison the Three Lives Emperor and trap him within to be refined.

However, the Three Lives Emperor treated it as nothing, showing no major reaction.

Brilliant divine light bloomed from the center of his brow.

It was none other than the Three Lives Reincarnation Seal!

The Three Lives Emperor was a Three Lives Dao Body, cultivating the Three Lives Dao Scripture.

Suddenly, two hazy figures appeared around him, identical to him.

One was permeated with the artistic conception of the past, and one was permeated with the artistic conception of the future.

And the Three Lives Emperor himself represented the present.

Past, present, future.

The true meaning of the three lives was unleashed by the Three Lives Emperor, and the sense of time flowed.

As a Mythical Emperor, he naturally possessed the ability to dabble in time.

Coupled with the true meaning of the three lives, the Three Lives Emperor at this moment seemed to be the incarnation of all worlds and the master of time.

Empress Chihuang was naturally very strong, otherwise, she would not have been favored by the World-Creating Heavenly Emperor.

However, Empress Chihuang had been suppressed for too long.

And her vitality had never recovered.

Although she had awakened now, it was clear that her strength could not compare to her peak.

And it was even more impossible to compare to the Three Lives Emperor, who had reached his peak.

So, it took only a moment.

Empress Chihuang's moves were broken by the Three Lives Emperor.

At the same time, she suffered injuries, and fresh blood spilled from her lips.

However, her physical body was transcendent, permeated with immortal dao energy.

So although she was injured, her body was not significantly affected.

"Chihuang, you are even weaker than I imagined."

Seeing this, the Three Lives Emperor shook his head slightly, with a hint of a sigh.

Empress Chihuang remained cold-faced and silent.

Seeing this, the Three Lives Emperor reached out his hand again.

The two hazy light shadows of the past and future made their move along with him.

The long river of time seemed to emerge, evolving in the void.

This move by the Three Lives Emperor could be called ruthless, intending to suppress and kill Empress Chihuang once again.

"This time, I am certain I will destroy your physical body!"

The Three Lives Emperor's tone was cold.

However, at this critical moment.

Boom!

An unimaginably vast divine might came from one direction, locking onto the Three Lives Emperor, carrying a sense of deterrence.

That direction was the Cloud Saint Star Realm!
