Chapter 443: One Slap Sends Him Flying!

Above the summit, Ning Wushuang and Gui Qianmo's battle suddenly erupted, the dim ghost realm and the destructive divine light interwove and collided, stirring up a new surge of energy.

Yet the hearts and minds of all living beings are still largely tethered by the two god‑like figures at the highest point.

Ye Wuque and Ye Junlin's clash has already reached its final moment!

The injuries on both of them are shocking to behold.

Ye Wuque's Undying Indestructible Imperial Golden Body's light has dimmed, cracking in many places, golden blood continuously seeping from the wounds, yet his potent life force forcibly seals it.

Ye Junlin's Burning Heaven Eternal Night Body is no longer as blazing as before; the dark‑golden patterns are broken in many spots, and there are terrifying through‑and‑through wounds on his chest and shoulder blades, the blood flowing out as black as ink, imbued with destructive calamity.

Nevertheless, in this battered state, their qi not only does not wane but, like a volcano suppressed to its limit, brews a final cataclysmic eruption that could destroy heaven and earth!

A world‑shaking pressure that makes even souls tremble spreads uncontrollably from their shattered bodies, a sign that their combat power, will, and Dao Realm are being driven beyond limits!

Ye Junlin's eyes have become two all‑consuming black‑hole vortices; the ten‑thousand‑calamity night force and the Blood Ember Star River Blood Qi swirling around him burn and compress like reflected light, as if to pour everything remaining into his next strike.

He stared at Ye Wuque, his voice hoarse like metal grinding, yet bearing an undeniable domineering intent: "The final move… decides life and death, determines the Epoch!"

Ye Wuque inhaled deeply, suppressing the surging blood and excruciating pain; his gaze was like a deep ancient well, unruffled.

Within him, the brilliance of the Five Ultimate Realms… Pure Yang Blood Qi, Seven Profound Emperor Soul, Supreme Being Soul Yang, Supreme Heavenly Seed, and Extreme Path Space, like five eternal great suns, resonated thunderously around his form, but it was not over!

In its deepest core, an even more vague, more vast new extreme‑realm power that seems to encompass the endless birth‑and‑death cycles of stars is slowly awakening!

After twenty years of war and refinement on the Ultimate Main Road, how could Ye Wuque have wasted it?

He had already, in the Stepping Heaven Realm, pierced the mist, ascended the Absolute Peak, and achieved an unprecedented sixth extreme realm! Stepping Heaven Extreme Realm… One Thought Star Sea!

With a single thought, the star sea shines, civilization dazzles.

With a single thought of extinction, ten thousand stars fall silent, returning to the void in eternal darkness.

This is the great power that controls the birth and death of stars and the rotation of the universe, one of the ultimate manifestations of his Space‑Time Great Dao Domain!

At this moment, the Power of the Six Great Extreme Realms within him is about to complete its final linkage and resonance, connecting to the vast, already opened Space‑Time Great Dao Domain inside him; the boundless Space‑Time power surges and roars, awaiting its final release!

In that delicate instant when the ultimate collision is about to erupt, the two's vital energies have peaked, and neither can divert attention—

"It's now!"

Xu Tianhuang, who had been lying in wait at the battlefield's edge like the most patient hunter, suddenly flared a terrifying brilliance in his eyes!

He had waited far too long, observed far too long, and finally seized the perfect gap when Ye Wuque's injuries were severe, his mind fully restrained by Ye Junlin, his old power exhausted and new power yet unborn!

"Ancient War Body… Activate!"

Xu Tianhuang roared within, no longer concealing!

His towering, massive frame shuddered violently, and an ancient, vast, barbaric terror that seemed to hail from the primordial chaos before heaven and earth split erupted thunderously!

Dark‑golden patterns, dense like innate Dao markings, surfaced on his skin; his muscles tensed, his bones thundered with explosive cracks, and his aura instantly rose to a level that could suffocate an ordinary Heavenly Pride!

The Ancient War Body, one of the ten great taboo constitutions of the ages, breaks all laws with force and overwhelms the heavens with momentum!

He took a step that shattered the Void, his figure vanishing as if teleporting, and in the next instant reappeared silently less than Ten Zhang behind Ye Wuque!

At their level, that distance is no different from being skin‑to‑skin!

"Ancient… Shattered Star Finger!"

Xu Tianhuang's gaze was cold and ruthless as he thrust a finger toward Ye Wuque's vulnerable back heart!

Before the finger's wind could arrive, the terrifying finger force, condensed to its limit as if to pierce stars and shatter the Dao, had already ripped the Void, locking onto Ye Wuque's soul and life!

This finger, embodying the pinnacle of his Ancient War Body, long‑conceived and ruthlessly decisive, is meant to, at the crucial moment when Ye Wuque and Ye Junlin are fighting for their lives, deliver a devastating blow or even slay Ye Wuque, the great foe, thereby smoothly snatching the Creation Saint Method Origin he has long coveted! That is Xu Tianhuang's purpose!

"Despicable!"

"Xu Tianhuang, you dare!"

In the distance, a Nine Heavens Living Being's eyes widened to the brink of bursting, shouting in shock, but there was no time to intervene.

However, faced with this deadly back‑stab, Ye Wuque's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations!

He didn't even turn around!

Just as Xu Tianhuang's finger force was about to reach the critical moment, the golden Blood Qi that surrounded Ye Wuque—originally dimmed by his wounds—blazed again as if cast into a furnace of billions of stars, erupting with a thunderous roar!

This eruption was no longer a simple blaze, but an absolute overbearing force that swept across the Zhutian Huanyu, gazing down upon the Eternal Time and Space!

"Get out!"

A cold, emotionless byte of data spat out from Ye Wuque's mouth.

His right hand, which had been hanging naturally, seemed to casually swing back and slap behind him.

The motion was casual, yet the power it contained was terrifyingly extreme!

Boom—!!!

In an instant, Xu Tianhuang felt his finger force—capable of shattering a segment of the Great Universe—strike an invisible barrier a hundred‑million times thicker than the Ancient Divine Mountain and countless times sturdier than the Star River's wall!

No, it wasn't a barrier; it was a golden palm illusion, as if condensed from the essence of billions of stars and the will of the Zhutian Dao!

The palm struck down, and Xu Tianhuang's Ancient Shattered Star Finger force melted away instantly like ice meeting boiling water!

Immediately thereafter, that indescribably terrifying pure power and domineering will stamped solidly onto his chest!

"Puff—!!!"

Xu Tianhuang's eyes bulged, and all his cold calculation was instantly replaced by boundless horror and pain!

He couldn't even let out a full wail; the towering, proud Ancient War Body, under that backhand slap, became as fragile as paper!

His whole being was struck head‑on by an ancient star, turning into a twisted streak of light that was flung backward at an unimaginable speed!

That flight spanned hundreds of millions of kilometers!

Along the way it shattered countless floating remnants of broken stars and ancient meteors in the Ultimate Main Road's void!

Finally, when he barely managed to halt, his entire body had no intact bone left; the Ancient War Body's Dao markings were all dimmed and cracked, and blood gushed from every pore like a fountain!

The spark in his eyes faded rapidly; he only managed to glimpse the still‑standing golden figure atop the distant summit, then his consciousness was utterly devoured by boundless darkness and excruciating pain, drifting like a ruined sack, soft and floating in the cold Void, life and death unknown, completely unconscious!

Silence!

Silence like death!

Whether it was the two sides locked in fierce combat or the myriad beings watching the battle, they were all shaken by the scene that unfolded in that flash of lightning, leaving their minds and spirits blank!

Having been biding his time for a long while, with unfathomable strength, the peerless Heavenly Pride Xu Tianhuang launched a near‑perfect ambush, but the severely wounded Ye Wuque, without even turning his head, struck a backhand slap—like swatting a fly—sending him flying billions of li, shattering his battle body, his fate now unknown?!
