Chapter 788: Even if I die, I will drag you with me, Emperor!

A strange fluctuation began to emerge from the body of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.

It was the aura of life essence burning away.

Murong Tianji's expression changed drastically: "Heavenly Emperor! You must not!"

He recognized this aura; it was a Forbidden Technique of the Eternal Immortal Court.

"Eternal Sacrifice: Mutual Destruction!"

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor shouted sternly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

This was the ultimate Forbidden Technique that the successive Heavenly Emperors of the Eternal Immortal Court would never easily unleash.

The caster would sacrifice everything of themselves, including their life, soul, laws, and even the energy of the entire star domain.

In exchange, they would gain terrifying power that was brief but surpassed a Saint.

The price was that the caster would undoubtedly die, without even the chance for reincarnation.

But now, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor could no longer care about such things.

Since death was inevitable anyway, he might as well drag Lin Xuan down to the grave with him!

As the Forbidden Technique was activated, the entire Eternal Star Domain began to tremble violently.

The light of countless stars began to dim, and their energy was being frantically drained.

The foundation accumulated by the Eternal Immortal Court over one hundred thousand years was now being used entirely as fuel for the sacrifice.

The body of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor began to disintegrate.

Flesh and blood turned into energy, bones burned into flames, and his soul was burning even more frantically.

Yet his aura was constantly climbing.

From the peak of the Saint Emperor realm, to the early stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, and then to the mid-stage of the Quasi-Saint realm.

In just a few breaths, he had crossed a distance that ordinary cultivators would need tens of thousands of years to traverse.

And it was still climbing.

Late stage of the Quasi-Saint realm, peak of the Quasi-Saint realm...

In the end, his aura actually touched the threshold of a Saint!

Although it was only a touch and he had not truly broken through, this power was already terrifying to the extreme.

Large-scale cracks began to appear in the space of the entire Eternal Star Domain.

Countless living beings shivered under this pressure, and some were directly crushed into blood mist.

"Th-this kind of power..."

The Immortals and Gods within Lingxiao Hall were shaken by this aura.

Even an Immortal King like Murong Tianji felt deep fear.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor looked extremely terrifying at this moment.

Half of his body had already disintegrated, revealing the burning fire of laws inside.

His hair turned into flames, and his eyes became two black holes, constantly devouring everything around him.

Yet a crazed smile appeared on his face.

"Lin Xuan! Even if I die, I will drag you with me!"

He let out a final roar, and his burnt-out body erupted with world-destroying light.

That was energy sufficient to destroy the entire Eternal Star Domain.

Once it erupted, a radius of one million miles would be reduced to nothingness.

The Lun Hui army would also be affected and suffer heavy losses.

The Empress Sima Xue and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they were about to move to assist.

But Lin Xuan raised his hand to stop them.

He looked at the crazed Eternal Heavenly Emperor, a mocking smile appearing on his face.

"Is that it?"

Lin Xuan snapped his fingers lightly.

The crisp sound of the snap echoed across the battlefield, seemingly unremarkable.

But the next moment, an incredible thing happened.

"Lun Hui: Time Reversal."

Lin Xuan said calmly.

Time across the entire battlefield began to flow backward.

Those disintegrated stars re-condensed, and the drained energy returned to its source.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor's disintegrated body began to recover, changing from a semi-transparent energy form back into a flesh-and-blood body.

The process of the Forbidden Technique being unleashed was forcibly reversed.

This was not a simple reversal of time, but a forced rewriting of cause and effect.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor discovered in horror that the Forbidden Technique he was unleashing had been forcibly interrupted.

His body recovered from its disintegrated state, and his aura also fell from the threshold of a Saint.

But the most terrible thing was that the life essence and Eternal Laws he had consumed could not return.

Those sacrificed powers had already completely vanished and did not fall within the scope of the time reversal.

"How is this possible... how is this possible..."

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had become an extremely weak cripple.

His original Quasi-Saint level cultivation was now not even as good as an ordinary Saint King.

Even standing was difficult; he could only collapse to the ground.

"In the face of Lun Hui, even death is not under your control."

Lin Xuan said sarcastically.

"You still want to perish together?"

He waved his hand, and the Laws of Lun Hui transformed into chains, firmly imprisoning the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor wanted to struggle, but it was of no use at all.

His power had been exhausted; now, even an ordinary Immortal could easily subdue him.

"No... no..."

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor let out a desperate moan.

He finally understood the true terror of the Laws of Lun Hui.

It was not merely the cycle of life and death, but a comprehensive mastery over time, causality, and fate.

In the face of such power, any struggle was futile.

Inside Lingxiao Hall, all the Immortals and gods were so shocked by this scene that they could not speak.

Reversing time—this was the ultimate divine art that legend said only a Main God could master.

Yet Lin Xuan had easily unleashed it with a casual snap of his fingers.

This kind of strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Main God.

Murong Tianji knelt on the ground, his voice trembling: "We are willing to surrender!"

"Please, Supreme Lun Hui, spare our lives!"

The other Immortals and gods followed suit, shouting in unison.

"Please, Supreme Lun Hui, spare our lives!"

Throughout the entire Lingxiao Hall, and even the entire Eternal Star Domain, the sounds of surrender rang out.

The Eternal Immortal Court, this behemoth that had ruled the Middle Plane for countless years, was thus destroyed.

The various factions monitoring this battle were all plunged into deep fear.

Inside the Heavenly God Court, the Heavenly God Emperor's face turned pale.

"Immediately issue a decree: the Heavenly God Court shall maintain absolute neutrality toward the Lun Hui Empire."

"No one is permitted to provoke the Supreme Lun Hui; violators will be executed!"

His voice carried obvious fear.

Even reversing time could be performed at will; such an existence was no longer someone he could provoke.

The Blood Sea Demon Emperor was even more grateful for his choice.

"Fortunately... fortunately I did not participate."

"The strength of this Supreme Lun Hui is likely already approaching those existences in the Upper Plane."

The Elders of the Wuji Immortal Sect held an emergency consultation.

"Immediately prepare generous gifts to express our submission to the Lun Hui Empire."

"The fate of the Eternal Immortal Court is a warning to us."

The landscape of the entire Middle Plane was completely rewritten at this moment.

The Lun Hui Empire became the new hegemon.

And Lin Xuan truly established his status as the Supreme Lun Hui.

Lin Xuan looked at the imprisoned Eternal Heavenly Emperor, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"For your crimes, what awaits you is the eternal punishment of Lun Hui."

"Repent within the cycle of Lun Hui."

The Eternal Heavenly Emperor wanted to open his mouth to beg for mercy, but he could no longer speak.

The Laws of Lun Hui dragged him into a special Lun Hui space.

There, he would experience endless pain and torment until he truly repented.

This process might take tens of thousands of years, or it might never end.

Sima Xue and the other Empresses walked to Lin Xuan's side.

"Your Majesty, the Eternal Immortal Court has been destroyed."

"How shall we handle the aftermath?"

Lin Xuan looked around, observing the Immortals and gods of the Eternal Immortal Court kneeling in a sea.

"Those willing to submit to the Lun Hui Empire may live."

"Those who resist to the end shall be sent into Lun Hui."

"As for the Eternal Star Domain, from this day forward it is renamed the Lun Hui Star Domain."

"This place will become the first stronghold of the Lun Hui Empire in the Middle Plane."

His orders were quickly disseminated.
