Chapter 1041: The Final Charge

Fight!

Ye Chen let out a thunderous roar, swinging his battle halberd northward. His strike carried the force to shatter heaven and earth, cleaving a path of blood eighty thousand zhang long.

Fight!

The cultivators of Da Chu followed closely. Each one was like a madman, their battle blood boiling. They were determined to reclaim lost ground alongside their commander and to avenge the fallen souls of Da Chu with the Eight Wastes War God.

This was Da Chu’s first full-scale charge since the Tianmo forces invaded, and it would also be their last.

Kill!

The Tianmo Dadi spoke casually, still lounging on his throne, watching the south with great interest.

Kill!

At the emperor’s command, no one dared disobey. Dozens of powerful demon generals charged from all directions, each wielding world-shaking divine abilities and wearing ferocious expressions, intent on eliminating Ye Chen, the great enemy of the Tianmo Emperor.

Get lost!

Ye Chen shouted coldly, swinging his great halberd in a sweeping arc across the void.

Instantly, the dozen demon generals were obliterated by a single strike, their bodies and souls turning to ash simultaneously.

Upon seeing this, the Tianmo army trembled as one.

Everyone’s expressions turned to utter shock, their sword-holding hands shaking uncontrollably.

Those were over a dozen demon generals! In the Tianmo Domain, they were quasi-emperor level experts. Even though their cultivation was suppressed in Da Chu, their foundational Dao remained intact, yet they were wiped out in one blow by a quasi-heaven realm expert at full completion. What kind of power was this? Did he truly have the qualifications to stand against an emperor?

Little did they know the secrets of Da Chu.

In this era, the heaven realm was the supreme level, equivalent to the emperor-level experts in the myriad heavens and the Tianmo Domain. Since the heaven realm was the pinnacle of Da Chu, a fully completed Huanggu Shengti in the quasi-heaven realm was a perfected holy body, possessing the strength to rival a great emperor.

Kill!

Roars shook the heavens and earth as more batches of demon generals charged forward—it was the command of the Tianmo Dadi, and retreat meant death.

With a buzzing sound, a massive demon blade was summoned collectively, swirling with rolling demonic and bloody seas, entwined with world-destroying thunder that could split the myriad heavens with a single slash.

Reverse Dao Reincarnation!

Ye Chen struck with his halberd, unleashing a galaxy of stars. The descending demon blade reversed along its original path, causing horrific backlash to the demon generals who had summoned it. Many were crushed by the blade’s divine power, while the stronger ones were left covered in blood and mangled bones.

In that instant, Ye Chen had already stepped forward, surging with a sea of golden blood that engulfed countless Tianmo soldiers and generals in its wake.

Bombard!

Bombard him!

Powerful demon generals stood at the rear of the army, wildly swinging their killing swords and pointing at Ye Chen, roaring madly.

In an instant, thousands of Xutian Extermination Arrays and hundreds of thousands of killing formations targeted Ye Chen simultaneously, their divine powers awakening as billions of divine lights swept toward him from all sides.

Outer Dao Dharma Body, activate!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, expanding his Hundun World and standing at its center.

Now that he had reached the perfection of the holy body, his Hundun Dao had advanced further, making his Hundun World even more complete than before. It was like a vast domain encompassing heaven and earth, with every river, mountain, flower, and spring infused with his supreme Hundun Dao.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The billions of divine lights bombarded the Hundun World.

The world crumbled continuously, with many areas pierced and its magnificent landscapes obliterated.

Yet, the divine lights of the killing arrays ultimately failed to destroy the Hundun World or harm Ye Chen.

This...!

The Tianmo army’s hearts trembled again, and they retreated collectively once more.

Those were thousands of Xutian Extermination Arrays and hundreds of thousands of killing formations—such a massive setup could instantly annihilate nine demon lords, yet it couldn’t injure a single quasi-heaven realm expert. They couldn’t fathom just how strong Ye Chen was.

Boom! Keep bombarding!

After a moment of shock, the Tianmo generals swung their killing swords again, pointing at Ye Chen and preparing another assault with the killing arrays.

But this time, Ye Chen gave them no opportunity. He unleashed Dun Di Cheng Cun, crossing tens of thousands of miles in a single step, swinging his great halberd to sweep away a swath of the void and slaying countless Tianmo soldiers and generals.

Any who block me shall die!

Ye Chen roared, shaking the heavens and earth, with billions of thunderclaps rumbling in response. The swarming Tianmo soldiers and generals were shaken into pools of blood. The might of a perfected holy body was in no way inferior to that of the Tianmo Dadi.

The Tianmo army was terrified, retreating en masse with expressions of fear.

He was just one man, just a quasi-heaven realm expert, yet in their eyes, he shone brighter than the sun, impossible to look at directly—like the Eight Wastes War God himself, making them afraid to face him.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Fresh blood stained the void, and behind Ye Chen, corpses piled up, truly turning the battlefield into a scene of bodies everywhere and rivers of blood.

Overlooking the world, he stood clad in the Huntian battle armor, like a golden divine light piercing from the southern border of Chu, into the Nan Yan Great Marsh of Bei Chu, and then into the Zhong Tong lands of Bei Chu, with no one able to stand in his way.

Behind him, the cultivators of Da Chu followed, their war intent soaring to the skies, though their numbers dwindled rapidly. Not everyone possessed Ye Chen’s world-shaking power. They fought bathed in blood, expending their last strength to protect his path, aiding him in breaking into the Bei Zhen Cang Yuan to face the emperor in battle.

Kill!

Some reached the end of their lives, their expressions manic as they self-destructed, dragging swaths of Tianmo with them in their final moments.

Kill!

Once one self-destructed, it triggered a frenzy of chain reactions, one blood-soaked body after another blooming into brilliant blood flowers amid the vast, pitch-black ocean of the Tianmo army.

Ye Chen, you bastard, you have to win!

This roar drowned out all the thunder—it came from Xie Yun, Situ Nan, Huo Teng, and Xiong Er as they fell in pools of blood, on the verge of being devoured by the Tianmo, their last cry echoing with grief and hope across the lands of Da Chu.

Ye Chen continued his charge, the Tianmo army vast and endless, even his power leaving him stained with sacred blood.

Though he didn’t turn back, he could clearly feel the Da Chu cultivators falling in droves and see familiar faces turning to ash amid the roars.

Tears of blood streamed down his face. The entire populace of Da Chu was protecting his path, expending their final strength and shedding their last drops of blood, all so he wouldn’t waste too much vital energy before facing the Tianmo Dadi, and so he could remain at his peak when settling Da Chu’s blood debts.

Everyone had placed the hope of this land on his shoulders, with countless ancestors and descendants willing to shatter themselves for his sake.

Now, no one followed behind him—the cultivators of Da Chu had all perished.

But he was not fighting alone. He carried the blood debts of Da Chu on his back and bore the hopes of this land. Behind him stood the souls of ninety million Da Chu heroes, supporting him in this heaven-defying battle.

Bloodline Limit, activate!

With Ye Chen’s earth-shaking roar, every drop of blood in his powerful holy body visibly turned black, each strand of his demonic Huanggu Sheng blood brimming with endless power.
