Chapter 981: Thousand-Year Pursuit

The battle was over.

Ye Wuque held the seal bead and let out a long, turbid breath.

His tense nerves finally relaxed, and an intense feeling of exhaustion surged into his heart.

The unity of the twelve Extreme Realms was also a huge drain on him.

Kong, Chu, and Feng Caichen also gathered around, looking at the seal bead in Ye Wuque's hand, all revealing smiles of surviving a disaster.

"Won... we really won..."

Kong muttered to himself, his eyes somewhat dazed.

The mortal enemy he had fought for endless epochs had actually been suppressed.

Chu the Heavenly Emperor laughed loudly and patted Ye Wuque on the shoulder:

"Good brat! You really have it!"

"I knew you would never disappoint!"

Feng Caichen also nodded with a smile:

"Old Ye, you're still the ruthless one."

"I'm not as good as you when it comes to showing off."

Ye Wuque also smiled, put away the seal bead, and said:

"Just luck."

"If not for the three of you holding him back, I couldn't have been so smooth."

He was telling the truth.

If not for Kong, Chu, and Feng Caichen risking their lives to entangle the Ominous Origin, buying him time to drive the unity of the twelve Extreme Realms, the outcome would have been hard to say.

The four looked at each other and smiled; everything was understood without words.

This battle lasted for a full thousand years.

From the Primordial Era to the Space-Time River, from the initial probing to the final life-and-death struggle, it was extremely dangerous all the way.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

Ye Wuque thoroughly suppressed the Ominous Origin, abolished his cultivation, and slowly purified him with the four Sacred Law origins.

This purification process might take thousands or tens of thousands of years, but all of this was under Ye Wuque's control, and there would be no accidents.

In fact, after heavily injuring the Ominous Origin head-on, the opponent was not immediately sealed.

Instead, he chose to flee at the first opportunity.

At that time, the Ominous Origin's Evil Source True Body was shattered, his origin heavily injured, and he knew that if he continued to fight, he would surely die.

He almost didn't hesitate, using the aftermath of the explosion to turn and plunge into the Space-Time River.

"Want to run?"

Ye Wuque's eyes turned cold, and he was the first to chase after him.

He was the fastest, and with the blessing of the Space-Time Sacred Law, he was like a fish in water in the Space-Time River.

"Chase! Must not let him run!"

Kong, Chu the Heavenly Emperor, and Feng Caichen also followed closely, rushing into the Space-Time River.

Cut the weeds and dig up the roots; they all understood this principle.

If the Ominous Origin were allowed to escape, hide, and recover from his injuries, it wouldn't be long before another world-ending calamity occurred.

By then, there might not be such a good opportunity to heavily injure him again.

Thus, a pursuit spanning the ages began.

The Ominous Origin fled from the Primordial Era to the Immortal Ancient Era.

That was an era where immortals were everywhere and Dao laws were prosperous.

But at this moment, above the sky of the Immortal Ancient Era, a grey stream of light whistled past, followed closely by four streams of divine light of various colors.

Wherever it passed, immortal mountains collapsed, star rivers rolled backward, and countless immortals looked up in horror, not even knowing what had happened.

The Ominous Origin dared not stay for a moment and plunged into the Desolate Ancient Era.

The Desolate Ancient Era, a wild land, giant beasts rampant.

On the earth, countless wild beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, shivering, not daring to make the slightest move.

Five streams of light flashed and disappeared, leaving only devastation.

Then came the Divine Ancient Era, Chaotic Ancient Era, Ox-Horse Era, God-Demon Era, Fallen Era, Aikun Era...

One era after another was left behind.

The Ominous Origin fled all the way, trying every means to counterattack and delay.

Sometimes he detonated epoch fragments to block the pursuers, sometimes he left clones to confuse their sight, sometimes he secretly ambushed and took cold shots.

His methods were endless, sinister and vicious.

But the four of Ye Wuque coordinated tacitly, always chasing closely, not being shaken off by even half a bit.

Ye Wuque relied on the advantage of the Space-Time Sacred Law to always hang behind the Ominous Origin, occasionally throwing a punch to constantly consume the opponent's remaining strength.

Kong was responsible for deducing the trajectory, predicting the opponent's escape route, and could intercept the opponent's retreat every time.

Chu the Heavenly Emperor specialized in attacking; once he caught up, it was a thunderous onslaught, making the Ominous Origin's injuries worse.

Feng Caichen specialized in breaking all kinds of evil arts and tricks, breaking the Ominous Origin's hidden moves one by one.

The four performed their own duties, coordinating seamlessly.

The Ominous Origin became more and more frightened and desperate as he fled.

He had thought he knew the Space-Time River like the back of his hand and that shaking off these four people would be easy.

But he hadn't expected Ye Wuque's comprehension of the Space-Time Dao to be even deeper than his own!

No matter how he fled or hid, the opponent could accurately catch up.

And these four people were one more difficult to deal with than the other.

Especially Ye Wuque, who was simply a monster.

After fighting for so long, the opponent seemed to never know fatigue, and his combat power always remained at its peak.

Instead, his own injuries were getting worse and his strength weaker.

This flight and pursuit lasted for tens of thousands of epochs.

From the source of the Space-Time River, they chased all the way to the middle and lower reaches.

It lasted for more than a thousand years.

Countless epochs along the way left traces of their battle.

Some epochs were affected, with living beings suffering;

Some epochs were just a fleeting glance, becoming eternal legends.

Finally, they fled to the Extreme Hegemony Era.

This was an era known for its overbearing nature, and the laws of heaven and earth all carried a wild and overbearing aura.

But after entering the Extreme Hegemony Era, the Ominous Origin's speed slowed down.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run, but... he couldn't run anymore.

With his origin heavily injured and the huge consumption of fleeing all the way, he had reached the point of exhaustion.

Further ahead was the lower reaches of the Space-Time River, closer to the Dark Era.

That was Ye Wuque's territory.

Fleeing there was also a dead end.

Blocked in front and pursued from behind.

He finally fell into a desperate situation.

"Hu... hu..."

The Ominous Origin hovered above the Space-Time River of the Extreme Hegemony Era, breathing violently.

He turned around, looking at the four who had caught up, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Do you... really have to kill them all?"

His voice was hoarse, carrying a trace of being fierce in appearance but faint in heart.

The four of Ye Wuque stopped, forming a surrounding posture, trapping him in the center.

Ye Wuque spoke indifferently:

"When you stirred up endless epoch calamities and slaughtered billions of living beings, why didn't you think about killing them all?"

"Today is your doomsday."

As his voice fell, he stopped talking nonsense.

His extreme combat power erupted again, and the power of the twelve Extreme Realms unity was driven again.

All foundations and all power were integrated into this punch.

"Eternal Supremacy: Final Suppression!"

With one punch, heaven and earth changed color.

The overbearing laws of the Extreme Hegemony Era paled in comparison to this punch.

This punch contained all of Ye Wuque's power and will.

This punch was to thoroughly end this disaster that had spanned the ages.

"No—!!"

The Ominous Origin let out a final roar, using his last strength to resist.

But he was already exhausted; how could he block this peak punch?

"Crack—"

The defense shattered.

The fist print slammed solidly onto his body.

At the same time, the seal power intertwined with creation and darkness instantly surged into his body, locking his origin and soul.

The Ominous Origin's body shrank rapidly, and finally, he was compressed into a bead, falling into Ye Wuque's hand.

Thus, the greatest threat since the ages, the ultimate source of the Ominous Clan, was thoroughly suppressed.

The thousand-year pursuit finally came to an end. ===== CHAPTER 982 =====
