Chapter 2402: The Eternal Cause and Effect

Kill!

Fight!

Such roars and howls echo throughout the universe, perfectly evoking the chaos of war.

The Da Cheng Sheng Ti, Di Huang, is locked in battle, and the peak great emperor is fighting as well.

Their emperor-level attacks cause the Grand Dao Supreme Heaven to shatter repeatedly, with streaks of holy blood and emperor blood glowing like the light of doomsday, pushing the fight to the brink of mutual destruction.

Di Huang, the Da Cheng Sheng Ti, lives up to his reputation as the war god who battled the Five Emperors. His attacks against Cai Jue Mo Di are overwhelmingly dominant, striking with brute force that drives even the peak great emperor into madness.

This battle, spanning across eternity, leaves Cai Jue Mo Di in utter despair. The Five Emperors were no match for Di Huang, let alone him alone. Cai Jue Mo Di's emperor-level immortal arts, divine principles, and demonic secrets all crumble before Di Huang's golden fists, shattering every law as if they were illusions.

Ah!

The emperor's roar carries fury, resentment, and sorrow, shaking the very fabric of the Grand Dao universe.

As a peak great emperor, he stands a full major realm above Di Huang, and even with the suppression from the heavens, he shouldn't be so outmatched. Since clashing with Di Huang, he has been driven to the edge of annihilation more than once.

He could never defeat Di Huang—in the ancient past or now. The name Di Huang itself feels like an emperor-level suppression, weighing down this peak great emperor for millions of years.

The depths of his mindset are unknown to the world, but Ming Di and Dao Zu understand it all too well.

An emperor is a supreme existence, revered everywhere, yet he had the misfortune to encounter the Da Cheng Sheng Ti—the strongest holy body in history. Sharing the same era only adds to the awkwardness. An emperor's lifetime of invincibility crumbles with a single defeat, becoming an inner demon that may never be overcome.

Di Huang is his inner demon, and achieving rebirth in his presence is nothing short of hopeless.

"I am unwilling."

"I am unwilling."

These three simple words are howled by Cai Jue Mo Di countless times.

The emperor is disheveled and ferocious, with no trace of a great emperor's dignity left—he's like a madman. He didn't want to lose his sanity; it was Di Huang who forced him into it. The existence of the Da Cheng Sheng Ti upends all his paths, shattering even his beliefs.

"This punch is for Yue Shang."

"This punch is for the heavens."

"This punch is for all living beings."

Di Huang's words ring out powerfully, like thunder echoing through the eternal cosmos.

His golden fists are truly domineering, each one drawing emperor blood, growing fiercer with every strike, repeatedly blasting the emperor into oblivion. Cai Jue Mo Di's blood splatters across the Grand Dao Supreme Heaven.

This is the cycle of eternity, where one leads to the other as cause and effect—this is a battle of fate.

Cai Jue Mo Di is driven to madness, and Di Huang fights with unbridled fury.

In the eyes of the Da Cheng Sheng Ti, there are tears of passion, missing Yue Shang so deeply it brings him to the verge of tears.

Who says the supreme have no tears? The love they engraved is an eternal wound.

Ah!

Ming Di sighs, and Dao Zu sighs as well. Even through the hazy barrier, they can sense Di Huang's sorrow. Love drives him to madness and fury; that holy body has fought to the point of self-forgetfulness.

This is the way of battle—from start to finish, etched with an obsession called love. Even if the opponent were a heavenly emperor, they would not be his match, for he has become indestructible through love.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

The Grand Dao Supreme Heaven rumbles like funeral bells tolling for Cai Jue Mo Di.

Gazing up at the vast expanse, it's a terrifying sight: visions of destruction intertwine, the universe is upended, yin and yang reverse, stars explode in the cycle of reincarnation, and the blazing sun crumbles in collapse. Every drop of falling blood energy could crush eternal pillars—one is a peak great emperor, the other the Da Cheng Sheng Ti, fighting in emperor-level clashes until one is buried.

Di Huang is powerful, but defeating and exterminating are two different things.

This war between the holy body and the emperor may drag on, but the victor will undoubtedly be the Da Cheng Sheng Ti, for Di Huang truly possesses the strength to slay an emperor.

As for Cai Jue Mo Di, unable to overcome Di Huang, he also cannot eliminate the Da Cheng Sheng Ti.

Kill!

Fight!

The Grand Dao Supreme Heaven rages with ferocity, and the flames of war burn across Luo Sha Yu.

The cultivators of the heavens charge forward, routing the heavenly demons completely.

It's mainly because Cai Jue Mo Di is being suppressed; Di Huang not only drives the emperor to madness but also shatters the heavenly demons' resolve, extinguishing their morale entirely.

In contrast, the heavens' fighting spirit is fueled by Di Huang, from peak quasi-emperors to novice heavenly realm cultivators, growing stronger as they fight, driving the heavenly demons into retreat from the vast cosmos.

Pfft!

Blood flowers bloom as the First Demon Lord falls, obliterated by Mo Yuan.

Following that, the Second Demon Lord is beheaded by Chi Mei Xie Shen, body and spirit destroyed; the Third Demon Lord fares no better, his demonic form torn apart by the Son of the Realm.

The Fourth Demon Lord bleeds out, impaled in the void by Shi Zu Jiang Chen's spear.

Roar!

Then comes a mournful dragon cry as the Fifth Demon Lord perishes, his massive dragon body trampled into pulp by the Primeval Qilin, with his escaping primordial spirit also erased.

Pfft!

In the eastern sky, the Sixth Demon Lord plummets, extinguished by Dong Huang Tai Xin before hitting the ground, her path of enchantment sealed by Kunlun Goddess, truly scattering her soul.

The Seventh and Eighth Demon Lords follow soon after, one primordial spirit annihilated by Yu Hua Xian Wang, the other true form destroyed by Long Cang Jie—the twin brothers who entered the world together now depart to the underworld together.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Before the Ninth Demon Lord can act, Ye Chen's cold shout rings out. Of the nine great demon lords, only this one remains, and Ye Chen is in hot pursuit, his pitch-black demonic form already shattered, leaving only half a skull.

"Save me! Save me!"

The Ninth Demon Lord howls in terror, fleeing desperately toward the depths of the heavenly demon army.

This command is effective; hundreds of demon generals charge in to protect him.

"Get back!"

Ye Chen's shout shakes the sky as the Eight Heavenly Dragons emerge.

The ten-thousand-zhang golden dragons, with their eight divine forms and tails, exude overwhelming dominance. The hundreds of attacking demon generals are all flung away, with the weaker ones instantly reduced to ashes.

"Save me! Save me!"

The Ninth Demon Lord continues to flee, his remaining half-skull bloody and grotesque.

"Where do you think you're going?" Ye Chen snorts coldly, drawing his bow and nocking an arrow on the spot.

The thunder god arrow is incomparably domineering, piercing through the void and the Ninth Demon Lord.

Pfft!

With blood flowers blooming, the Ninth Demon Lord is instantly destroyed. He must be the most humiliating of the nine great demon lords to die, slain by a minor quasi-emperor, a disgrace to his title.

With his death, all nine great demon lords of Cai Jue are exterminated.

This only deepens the heavenly demons' defeat. With their emperor suppressed and the nine great demon lords slain one by one, true fear grips their hearts, and their morale plummets to nothing.

Fight!

The cultivators of the heavens roar in unison, their fighting spirit soaring as they carve out path after path of blood.

And the fierce warriors of the heavens live up to expectations.

With the words "Block me and die," carrying irresistible demonic power, the men fight like war gods and the women like immortal kings, advancing from the vast cosmos all the way to the edge of the heavens, where the Heaven-Piercing Demonic Pillar comes into view.

"Hold them back for me!"

This furious shout comes from the Grand Dao Supreme Heaven, from Cai Jue Mo Di himself.

He may be driven mad, but his wits remain. As long as the Heaven-Piercing Demonic Pillar stands, he has a chance to turn the tide. If it's destroyed, even his last hope will vanish.

In contrast, Di Huang issues no commands.

The Da Cheng Sheng Ti could go and destroy the Heaven-Piercing Demonic Pillar— even Cai Jue Mo Di couldn't stop him. But after decades of recovery and the rise of the younger generation in the Golden Great World, they need the forge of war. He can protect the heavens for a time, but not forever. To uphold the heavens' dignity, the beings of the heavens must achieve a heavenly-defying rebirth in this flames of war.

This is his thoughtful intention as a senior for the future.

The heavens all understand his meaning.

And Cai Jue Mo Di's command is executed without question by the heavenly demons. The routed demonic army regroups, perhaps out of fear or rage, launching a countercharge.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Luo Sha Yu crumbles amid the rumbling, with the clash between the heavens and heavenly demons growing even more intense—soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, peaks against peaks, blazing like fire.

The flames of war dye the sky red and soak the earth black, a true immortal-demon war where lives are as worthless as grass. Countless fall, their corpses piling into mountains and blood flowing into rivers.

This battle will not end until one side is utterly destroyed.
