Chapter 2131: Emperor's Peak?

Chapter 2131: Is the Great Emperor at the Peak?

In the Xuan Huang Star Sea, countless warships filled the skies, each one surging with demonic energy, parting massive waves and staining the brilliant star sea black. These were the Tian Mo warships, advancing from all directions to invade Xuan Huang.

Above the star sea, a dense army of Tian Mo generals hovered, all genuine Zhun Di level experts, ignoring the star sea's restrictions as they marched through the heavens. They licked their blood-red tongues, their eyes filled with bloodthirsty cruelty. Their goal was clear: to turn this sacred land of cultivators into a hell and slaughter all living beings.

"Bullying the heavens with no one?"

From all sides of the star sea came roars from the Xuan Huang allied forces, who mobilized countless warships to confront the Tian Mo army. Zhun Di experts also joined the fight to defend their territory.

Booming sounds erupted, shaking the star sea and the Xuan Huang continent. The entire star sea was filled with warships, and the skies with figures, turning the battlefield into chaos. Groups of people turned into blood mist, and warships shattered one after another, dyeing the once radiant star sea red with blood.

However, the Tian Mo forces were overwhelmingly powerful, like a vast black ocean swallowing up sections of the star sea with absolute strength suppression.

The Xuan Huang cultivators retreated steadily, falling back to the land to regroup and continue resisting. They set up countless attack formations across the skies, blasting any Tian Mo that landed to pieces.

Yet the Tian Mo were incredibly strong, like madmen charging fearlessly from Dong Huang, Nan Yu, Xi Mo, and Bei Yue, storming onto the Xuan Huang continent.

The sacred land of cultivators was engulfed in flames of war. Mountains collapsed one by one, ancient cities crumbled, and everywhere the Tian Mo passed, blood flowed like rivers. Fresh blood formed streams across the land, and rolling blood mist obscured the world's light.

The forbidden zones joined the battle once more, just as in the previous Tian Mo invasion, emerging from their sealed lands to resist the enemy.

The Tian Wang were absent, and no summons were needed. Although they had already sent out many Di Bing, the five great forbidden zones still held imperial artifacts for protection. These fierce warriors, each wielding ultimate Dao emperor weapons, stabilized the retreating Xuan Huang cultivators. Though still at a disadvantage, their fighting spirit soared, and there were moments when they nearly drove the Tian Mo back into the star sea.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

It wasn't just Xuan Huang or Da Chu—countless other places were locked in fierce combat, with thunderous roars echoing across the ten thousand domains. As far as the eye could see, blood-red smoke obscured everyone's vision, leaving no pure land untouched. Vast mountains and rivers transformed into bloody hells.

The flames of war spread throughout the heavens. Every star domain and every star was engulfed in battle, with bloodbaths and battlefields spanning the ten thousand domains. From peak Zhun Di to Qi Condensation realm cultivators, the scale was unprecedentedly massive. Swaths of figures dissolved into blood mist, and bloodstained bones, severed limbs, and shattered artifacts floated through the starry skies, a scene of utter carnage.

This was a clash between domains, soldier against soldier, general against general, peak against peak. They bathed in each other's blood, fighting with frenzy in a true immortal-demon war, continuing until the end of days.

In the spatial black hole, Ye Chen streaked like immortal light, racing madly into the dark depths.

His eyes, like black holes, still glistened with tears. He didn't need to look back to know the devastation in the heavens—countless lives were blocking the entrance to the icy domain, holding off Can Ye Mo Di, as groups of figures were obliterated into ash under the emperor's might.

In the eyes of the world, he was a beacon of hope, the one who could destroy the Qian Tian Mo Zhu. Even if the chances were slim, they believed Sheng Ti Ye Chen could create another miracle.

In that moment, Ye Chen felt the weight on his shoulders grow heavier, much like the time in Da Chu when ninety million souls paved the way for him. Losing this hope would mean losing the lives of the ten thousand domains.

In the darkness, flames ignited once more on his body surface as he sacrificed his sacred blood to boost his speed.

Fortunately, in his Blood Succession Boundary state, he could expend it freely. He only wanted to reach the Qian Tian Mo Zhu as quickly as possible, even if it meant dying in the process, to honor the entrustment of all beings.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

In the shattered starry skies, thunderous roars echoed like eternal lightning, shaking the immortal vault.

Can Ye Mo Di had joined the fight, facing off alone against the five peak Zhun Di.

The battle scene was bloody and brutal, with layers of emperor dao halos spreading endlessly across the seas and wilderness, like destructive hands sweeping through the heavens. Wherever they reached, no living beings remained, and stars turned to dust under the emperor's might.

Ah!

Ming Di sighed at the sight, his heart filled with pity.

Di Huang felt the same. In the vast heavens, there was no sixth person who could match an emperor. The Hong Huang clan had them, but unfortunately, they weren't participating and never would. Overwhelming rage had clouded his vision. If the heavens could survive this catastrophe and if Di Huang could return, he would be the first to deal with the Hong Huang clan, to console the spirits of the fallen.

"Let those two be unsealed!"

Watching the tragic state of the heavens, Di Huang suddenly spoke.

"The emperor seal is still in the fusion stage. Unsealing it now would be useless." Ming Di shook his head.

Di Huang fell silent, clenching his golden fists tightly. There were a few moments when he nearly opened the heavens' passage.

"That descendant of yours might truly create a miracle." Ming Di looked up, as if peering through the realms of the living and the dead, gazing into the spatial black hole and catching sight of Ye Chen's figure.

"If he can't stop the Tian Mo domain's emperor, he won't succeed." Di Huang said indifferently.

This time, Ming Di was silent. As an emperor himself, he knew the terror of emperors. If Can Ye Mo Di wanted to capture Ye Chen, it could happen in an instant. Even if Ye Chen evaded the Tian Mo army and reached the Qian Tian Mo Zhu, he couldn't destroy their foundation. If the emperor willed it, he could kill Ye Chen in any moment.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

As the two supreme beings fell silent, Tian Jiu and the others were defeated again. The five figures were sent flying eight thousand zhang, crashing into ancient stars.

In contrast, Can Ye Mo Di stood like the ruler of the world, atop the great dao.

"Great Emperor at the peak?" Tian Jiu struggled to his feet, barely able to stand, his divine body utterly shattered. Every wound was tainted with emperor dao demonic light, draining his essence and causing the injuries to expand rather than heal. The emperor's killing intent still rampaged within him, intent on devouring him completely.

"I have to say, he's strong to an absurd degree." Sheng Xiao Xie staggered, his entire body drenched in blood.

"I told you, he's no ordinary emperor." Xi Chen coughed up blood endlessly, his injuries the worst.

"No chance at all." Yue Huang and Dong Huang Tai Xin clutched their shoulders, stumbling through the starry skies to regroup with the others. The five had joined forces but failed to harm the emperor in the slightest, nearly being destroyed by him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The starry skies trembled with a slow, rhythmic beat.

It was the sound of the emperor's footsteps, approaching from the distant stars. Perhaps his imperial body was so heavy that each step made the skies rumble. The supreme Great Emperor remained the sovereign, overlooking the universe and all things, with no worldly laws able to disturb him. The so-called heavens and earth were mere trifles in his presence.

Compared to the five peak Zhun Di, he was leisurely, toying with them in amusement. He no longer cared about Ye Chen; his interest now lay in these five before him.

As Di Huang had said, an emperor could do anything. In an instant, he could shatter Ye Chen's hope or kill him, no matter the distance or the profundity of his evasion techniques.

He was letting Ye Chen go to the Qian Tian Mo Zhu purely for his own entertainment, to see how much more waves these ants could make.

Granting hope to all beings only to turn it into despair—this feeling was the most exquisite.

"Submit to me, and you shall live."

Can Ye Mo Di stopped, still reigning supreme in the nine heavens void, looking down on them. Destructive visions manifested around him, woven with emperor dao laws, each strand capable of collapsing the heavens and earth.

"I'd rather die than surrender."

"Nah, I want to surrender."

"Get lost."

This last rebuke came not just from Xi Chen, but also from the imperial generals and Dong Huang Tai Xin in unison. It was a good thing an emperor stood opposite them and that the heavens were in crisis; otherwise, they might have rolled up their sleeves and dealt with him on the spot.

"If you all want to die so badly, I shall oblige."

Can Ye Mo Di chuckled darkly, slowly raising his hand to press down on them.

This palm carried emperor dao laws and fused with emperor dao immortal techniques. Before it even fully descended, that section of the starry skies shattered inch by inch, and even spatial rifts were ground into nothingness. It was an apocalyptic palm, one that even the five peak Zhun Di admitted they couldn't block.

In that instant, cultivators across the heavens, still locked in battle, dimmed in their gazes. If the five peak Zhun Di fell, who in the heavens could stop a single emperor? Who could buy time for Ye Chen?

Yet, in the final moment of despair for all beings, the distant starry skies suddenly collapsed. A palm print shot through the vast expanse, across ancient ages, targeting Can Ye Mo Di. Overwhelming emperor dao might spread, capable of destroying heavens and earth, freezing time itself.

Boom!

A thunderous roar shook the nine heavens, forcing even Can Ye Mo Di to retreat half a step, shattering the stars behind him.

The five were stunned, the heavens' cultivators shocked, and the Tian Mo horrified. They halted their battles, turning in unison toward that starry direction. To strike an emperor back with a single palm—who could be so terrifying? Another supreme Great Emperor?

Under the gaze of all, a blurred figure emerged from the distant stars, striding along the river of time, ancient and weathered. His form was majestic and unyielding, surrounded by ultimate dao laws and accompanied by emperor dao visions. Each step he took transcended the great dao.

He was incredibly ancient, from an unknown era, with dust still unsettled on his shoulders. His divine body was heavy, making the star domains tremble, and one could faintly hear the heavenly sounds of dao weaving, resonating through the ten thousand domains.

Strangely, his expression was wooden, his eyes hollow, like a puppet.

"Yan Yan Di?"

"More accurately, it's one of Yan Di's imperial bodies."

"The imperial body of Yan Di still exists in the world."

"The one driving Yan Di's imperial body must be his son."

Tian Jiu saw through it clearly, peering beyond the imperial body to its core—Yan Di's son, Xiao Lu, had fully merged into it.

"He's blood sacrificed himself to awaken the imperial body's consciousness."
