Chapter 2932: Immortal Execution and Burial

"The Emperor's Vision."

Dao Zu and Ming Di spoke in unison, and Ye Chen and Yao Chi also said it at the same time. The vision unfolding in the void could only be seen by those at the Supreme level.

Tian Huang's two emperors glanced at Ye Chen, clearly indicating it was not him.

"In Tian Huang."

Ye Chen and Yao Chi vanished one after the other.

By the time they arrived in Tian Huang, a figure was already there—an elderly man in white robes with white hair and a unkempt beard. He looked extremely frail, his life span nearly exhausted and his vitality fading. Covered in the dust of ages and etched with hardship, his once-clear eyes were now murky.

This elder was not a human cultivator.

More precisely, he was from the Hong Huang people, belonging to the Qi Cai Kong Que clan.

Unlike creatures like Qiong Qi or Tao Tie, the Qi Cai Kong Que clan was aligned with the various heavens and had not been wiped out.

"Kong Que Gu Wang."

Ye Chen murmured softly; he had met him before. In terms of seniority, no one in the current Qi Cai Kong Que clan could match him. He was from the same era as Kong Que Da Di, making him one of the clan's forebears.

He was not at the peak of ultimate strength, but having survived countless cataclysms to reach this age showed the immense fortune of Kong Que Gu Wang.

"The end of his life is near."

Kong Que Gu Wang turned his head toward Ye Chen and Yao Chi, smiling wearily, his voice hoarse and gravelly. Like many elders before him, he wanted to make one last attempt before dying, striving to break through to the Emperor realm.

He looked at Ye Chen and Yao Chi with deep contentment.

The younger generations of the various heavens were formidable—one was the most powerful Great Accomplishment Sacred Body in the Sacred Body lineage, and the other was the most astonishing Great Emperor in the heavens. Across all history at the same level and realm, no one could overshadow their brilliance.

"Senior, pass your tribulation in peace; you will surely achieve the Dao."

Ye Chen smiled. With the signs of the Emperor's Vision, Kong Que Gu Wang would undoubtedly ascend to the Supreme level, barring any accidents.

Kong Que Gu Wang smiled kindly but said no more, gazing up at the vast sky.

In the next instant, he burned away his remaining life span, shedding his aged form and transforming into a youth, achieving ultimate sublimation.

For this tribulation, he had only one path: to prove the Dao and become an Emperor.

Boom! Rumble!

Accompanied by booming sounds, dark clouds surged, filled with flashing lightning and thunder that tore through the universe. A pressure that made the heavens and earth tremble suddenly emerged.

"Emperor Tribulation?"

Many in the starry sky were astonished; the old ones had already sensed it.

Soon, figures gathered as domain gates opened across the starry sky. Many elders brought their juniors toward Tian Huang.

By the time they arrived, the Emperor Tribulation's lightning had already blanketed the starry sky.

"Kong Que Gu Wang."

Ren Wang raised an eyebrow, recognizing him at a glance.

"Old Ancestor."

Members of the Qi Cai Kong Que clan had also arrived, led by their princess Tian Zhi, who was now the clan's emperor. During the great cataclysms of the heavens, the Kong Que clan had suffered heavy losses, with nearly all the old ones wiped out, leaving her to hold the clan together.

"Tian Huang is truly a remarkable place!"

Zao Hua Shen Wang stroked his beard and took a deep breath.

No one disagreed with that statement.

After all, Yue Shang had become an Emperor here; Yao Chi had proven her Dao here before; and now Kong Que Gu Wang was attempting it. If he succeeded in proving the Dao and ascending to the Supreme level, it would become an immortal legend.

"Yao Chi proved her Dao just a few hundred years ago; it's probably hopeless!"

Xi Chen said slowly, his worry evident and unmistakable.

No one opposed this view.

Generally speaking, after one Emperor falls, it takes at least several thousand years for a new one to emerge. Though a Great Emperor might have died, their Dao imprint remains, making it impossible to break through the shackles and become an Emperor.

Now, Dong Huang Nu Di was still alive and in her prime, her Dao imprint not only undiminished but growing stronger. With her suppression, the chances of anyone else becoming an Emperor were virtually zero.

"You've probably forgotten about the two divine coffins from that era."

Dong Huang Tai Xin murmured lightly, reminding many people.

Indeed, long ago, the heavenly tribulations of those two divine coffins had already manifested, foretelling that this era would have two Emperors.

"Old guy, hold on!"

Xiao Yuan Huang roared fiercely, shouting loudly.

His cry triggered a chain reaction, with both the younger and older generations joining in shouts of encouragement.

If Kong Que Gu Wang succeeded in proving the Dao, this era would become lively indeed—two Great Emperors and one Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

Fight!

In the sea of heavenly tribulation lightning, Kong Que Ming Wang's roar came from the depths of his soul. He charged straight into the thunder, being swept away by the lightning sea time and again, only to fight his way out each time, battling with utter frenzy.

There was no retreat; he had no way back.

He had sacrificed all his life span and could only survive by proving the Dao.

The younger ones might not understand his state of mind, but the elders did. Having lived to the end of his years, the next step was either to become an Emperor or turn to dust in history—such was the cruelty.

Ye Chen took one last look and suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he was in a spatial black hole, because in the previous instant, he had detected an extremely repulsive aura: Zhu Xian Jian.

That was right; it was Zhu Xian Jian, now just a sword hilt. Ever since it was shattered by Yao Chi hundreds of years ago, it had been lying low.

For those hundreds of years, it had been truly quiet.

With no way to fight back and the various heavens having two Supreme beings, it had no choice but to behave. It had hidden in the black hole for centuries, silently licking its wounds. The seven-colored halo had grown stronger, but the lost sword body could never return.

Buzz!

Seeing Ye Chen enter, Zhu Xian Jian buzzed and turned to flee.

Its buzz was one of anger and resentment.

After all these years, it had schemed time and again, only to fail more miserably each time. Not only had it failed to kill Ye Chen, but it had inadvertently given him countless opportunities. What was once a fine sword was now reduced to just a hilt.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Ye Chen pursued relentlessly, attacking all the way.

"In the future, I will cut you down."

Zhu Xian Jian could speak, its voice androgynous, a roar of rage and a howl from the soul. It dared not stop; it only knew to flee and flee again. In its current state, it could not defeat Ye Chen.

Ye Chen said nothing, stepping through the void and striking with a palm.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding rang out clearly.

Zhu Xian Jian was wounded, and much of its seven-colored light dimmed.

Still, it had a strong will to survive, believing it could turn things around. It burned its seven-colored immortal light and used a heaven-defying escape technique, moving so fast that even Tian Huang's two emperors could not track it.

Ye Chen's eyes blazed like torches, locking onto it firmly.

From the moment he entered the black hole, he had set a resolve: he would not stop until Zhu Xian Jian was completely destroyed. That sword was too hateful and too unpredictable; it could not be left as a threat.

"Run, where can you run?"

The Chaos Cauldron, Chaos Fire, and Chaos Thunder all emerged, shouting and yelling. Ye Chen chased fiercely, and they chased even more fiercely, especially the Chaos Cauldron, which howled the loudest.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Zhu Xian Jian's vibrations grew more intense.

It feared Ye Chen, but not the Chaos Cauldron and the others. If Ye Chen were not there, even with just the sword hilt, it could take on the three of them and make them cry.

Ye Chen believed that.

After several hundred years of recovery, Zhu Xian Jian's level far surpassed what it had been, though it was just a hilt, it was stronger than an ultimate Dao Emperor Weapon.

As early as back then, he had realized Zhu Xian Jian was no ordinary sword; its true level far exceeded that of a Great Emperor. Di Huang, Ming Di, and Dao Zu had all given him precise answers on that.

It was fortunate that it was only a hilt now. If it were in its complete form, he might not have been able to defeat it. That sword was extraordinarily powerful.

"Boss, it's getting away."

Chaos Fire howled, and Chaos Thunder shouted.

Ye Chen snorted coldly and covered the universe with a palm.

Clang!

Zhu Xian Jian was hit again, cracking open.

The Archaic Sacred Body restrained Zhu Xian Jian perfectly. At its current level, which exceeded an ultimate Dao Emperor Weapon, Dong Huang Nu Di might not shatter it, but Ye Chen's strike was different.

Ah!

Zhu Xian Jian roared, still fleeing rather than fighting. If it had a human form, its expression would surely be ferocious, glaring at Ye Chen with eyes full of resentment.

That little Sacred Body was a complete anomaly; every encounter with him brought disaster. Bloody examples were everywhere.

"Heaven Illumination."

Ye Chen activated his Chaos Reincarnation Eye, targeting Zhu Xian Jian.

In an instant, the sword hilt ignited with dark flames.

Immortal Wheel Heaven Illumination, Blood Wheel Heaven Illumination, and Great Reincarnation Heaven Illumination were all useless against Zhu Xian Jian, but this time, it worked. It could not harm the sword body but burned away much of the seven-colored immortal light.

Boom!

With a boom, Zhu Xian Jian escaped the black hole.

Immediately, a swath of starry sky collapsed.

In the next moment, Ye Chen burst out in pursuit.

"Zhu Xian Jian?"

"The Sacred Body?"

Many figures in the starry sky, who were heading to Tian Huang to watch the Emperor Tribulation, paused at the sight, looking up with righteous indignation. Too many people snorted coldly, hating it to their bones.

Zhu Xian Jian ignored them, using an escape technique to dart into another black hole.

Ye Chen followed like a shadow, chasing in after it.

Boom! Bang! Boom!

Sounds like these echoed afterward, with massive fluctuations.

That sword had been driven mad, fleeing and howling all the way through the endless darkness, but it could not shake Ye Chen.

"In the future, I will cut you down."

From the depths of the darkness, Zhu Xian Jian roared again.

It burned away its seven-colored light and used a heaven-defying forbidden technique, shattering the universe. Ye Chen's palm strike missed.

"Damn it, it escaped again."

The Chaos Cauldron cursed, buzzing wildly.

Clang! Clang!

No sooner had it spoken than these sounds rang out.

Zhu Xian Jian, which had just escaped into the universe, was flung back out, clearly having been struck by someone.

Indeed, it had been struck by someone.

The attacker was Dong Huang Nu Di, who had a tacit understanding with Ye Chen—she chased openly while he pursued in secret.

The results proved this strategy worked.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Zhu Xian Jian trembled, its glow completely gone. This time, its vibrations carried not only anger and resentment but also fear.

To the east, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body held a Dao sword.

To the west, Dong Huang Nu Di also held a Dao sword.

With a Great Accomplishment Sacred Body and a Great Emperor—two Supreme beings—they had it trapped in the middle, with no intention of letting it go.

Today, it could not escape.

"Blood debts must be repaid in blood."

Ye Chen slashed with his sword, his killing intent overwhelming.

Zhu Xian Jian tried to flee again, but in that instant, Dong Huang Nu Di swung her sword, creating a prison of darkness that turned eternity into an eternal void.

It was a time secret technique, freezing everything in that moment.

For Ye Chen, that moment was more than enough.

Clang!

His Dao sword fell, destroying heaven and earth.

Crack!

Zhu Xian Jian shattered, its remaining hilt exploding.

Ah!

Its wail was piercing. It tried to reform its broken sword body but was powerless. Ye Chen's sword not only carried forbidden power but also incorporated the Sacred Body essence that restrained it.

The seven-colored fragments, tinged with dim seven-colored light, glittered beautifully and brilliantly in the dim black hole.

The wicked Zhu Xian Jian was finally destroyed.

In that instant, Ming Di and Tian Huang's two emperors felt a sense of unreality.

After so many vicissitudes, that damned sword was finally completely shattered, reduced to the dust of history.

No wonder people said that couple was incredible.

Once, so many Supreme beings had hunted Zhu Xian Jian without killing it, yet it had fallen to them.

In its final moments, Zhu Xian Jian must have felt regretful.

It was a peerless divine weapon, capable of slaying Great Emperors at its peak, yet it had been destroyed.

Ever since a person named Ye Chen appeared, it had been on the path to destruction, straying further and further until it reached the end.

If it could start over...

It would behave itself, hiding quietly somewhere, never emerging unless it regained its peak.

But alas, there was no medicine for regret in the world.
