Chapter 3019: Suppressing the Two Emperors and Holy Demons

Chapter 3019: Zhen Ya Liang Tian Di Sheng Mo

The great war on the Taigu Road shook the heavens and earth.

In the northern expanse, Nu Di was peerlessly elegant, relentlessly pressing the Di Er Sheng Mo in battle. With her full power unleashed, her might was overwhelming, launching eternal attacks that repeatedly shattered the Sheng Mo's imperial body. Strands of eternal energy dismembered the Sheng Mo time and again. Even with blood succession supporting him, rebuilding his flesh was extremely difficult, and his immortal power was gradually weakening. The speed of his recovery couldn't keep up with the wounds accumulating on his body, his demonic bones stained with fresh blood, scattering across the sky.

"You are not complete; it's impossible."

The Di Er Sheng Mo gritted his teeth and attacked furiously, his raging fury concealing a hint of fear. The eternal power was too bizarre—its divine force seemed inexhaustible, and its recovery speed was terrifyingly fast, even surpassing blood succession.

In certain moments, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Do not contend with the eternal in endurance.

He recalled the warning from the previous generation's Sheng Mo.

Now, facing Nu Di alone, he truly witnessed the dominance of this law. Her body was immortal, her primordial spirit was immortal, as if no force could shake the eternal.

Beyond that, there were two aspects he could never match: one was her comprehension of the Dao, and the other was her combat mindset. Nu Di's ability to grasp the eternal showed her heaven-defying talent. As for her combat mindset, it far outstripped his by miles. In her complete form, Nu Di had once fought alone against the previous generation's Sheng Mo, Huang Di Tian Mo, and Huang Di E Mo. Looking across all ancient history, only Nu Di had experienced such feats. Though she was not whole now, that transcendent mindset was beyond his reach.

Nu Di's expression remained indifferent as her crystalline jade hand covered the sky. In a simple palm strike, countless divine abilities and eternal inscriptions were fused, simplified into a palm seal.

Thud!

The Di Er Sheng Mo spat blood again, his barely reformed demonic body exploding with a boom. The flying blood and bones were turned to ash by the overflowing eternal light, suffering devastating damage to both his flesh and primordial spirit. His immortality became meaningless, making it hard to rebuild, and cracks tore open in his primordial spirit.

Ah!

The Di Er Sheng Mo roared in anger, his fury turning into demonic energy that swept across the heavens and earth. He activated his inner hegemonic body to bolster his innate form, enduring the eternal erasure. By burning his Sheng Mo lifespan and reversing the hidden laws of the universe, he created immortality within himself, forcibly sustaining the blood succession limits.

Kill!

Regaining his footing, he gripped his battle spear and charged into the void, piercing through Nu Di's eternal defenses with one strike. Even Nu Di looked at him with new respect. As a great general under the previous generation's Sheng Mo, he was indeed formidable—easy to defeat, but extremely hard to kill. Though blood succession was no match for the eternal, its immortality was a real headache.

Destroy!

The Di Er Sheng Mo's shout echoed through the eight directions. Breaking through the defenses boosted his morale tremendously, giving him an invincible aura.

Nu Di stood gracefully, using one hand to manifest an immortal technique, transforming the eternal into an immortal sea. A massive wave swept away the Sheng Mo. This was no ordinary immortal sea; the eternal energy roamed within it, destroying his imperial body and crumbling his primordial spirit.

The Sheng Mo struggled like he was drowning, unable to stand steady, his battle spear marred by fine spots of corrosion from the eternal intrusion. His flesh and primordial spirit were similarly affected, as if infected by a virus that couldn't be wiped away—a form of internal destruction.

"Open for me!"

The Sheng Mo roared and bellowed, breaking through the eternal waves.

But it seemed futile; one wave shattered, and another followed. He had just steadied himself when he was swept away again. The eternal power was endless, and the waves of the eternal sea kept coming relentlessly.

"Nicely done."

Hou Yi, still locked in battle, couldn't help but cheer as he saw the Di Er Sheng Mo trapped in the immortal sea. He glanced toward the eastern heavens, vaguely seeing Ye Chen's fight with the Di San Sheng Mo. What met his eyes were flashes of lightning and thunder, the world overturned. Though it was a battlefield, he could see suns and stars manifesting, only to collapse one by one.

Compared to Nu Di, Ye Chen's form looked somewhat disheveled.

However, the Di San Sheng Mo opposite him was in worse shape, his hair disheveled and half his head destroyed, still not reformed. Every wound on his body reflected the eternal light, and due to the barrier of immortal power, his blood succession abilities were nearly completely nullified, preventing immediate recovery. Moreover, strands of eternal energy had entered his body, damaging his origins, and even his demonic bones couldn't withstand the destruction.

Like the Di Er Sheng Mo, the Di San Sheng Mo was deeply shocked by the eternal power—it was incredibly strange. Ye Chen's eternal was incomplete, yet so troublesome; if it were whole, how unimaginably powerful would it be? True immortality?

In a sense, blood succession and the eternal were on the same level, such as in recovery ability, where the eternal could block blood succession, and blood succession could block the eternal. The difference lay in one being a comprehension of the Dao and the other an innate gift. Ye Chen had merged with the Great Dao, making his Dao the eternal and the eternal his Dao—they were one. Blood succession, however, was more like an external force, usable only for a limited time, which created the gap.

Thud!

Blood sprayed everywhere as the Di San Sheng Mo's chest exploded again, his flying bones and flesh turned to ash by the eternal before they could fall.

Zing!

Ye Chen summoned the eternal sword, its sword energy spanning eighty thousand li.

The Di San Sheng Mo tensed and fled into the sky.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Ye Chen used Flying Thunder God to pursue him instantly, but midway, he was blocked by some force—or rather, the Sheng Mo had erased the eternal mark. It was like a teleportation channel being forcibly interrupted, causing him to stumble out halfway.

"This technique is useless against me."

The Di San Sheng Mo sneered wickedly, turning back with a counterattack. His battle spear hummed, etched with vivid black demonic patterns—perhaps Dao principles or orders, incredibly fearsome.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, seeing clearly that if struck, those black demonic patterns would invade his body, imprinting on his imperial bones and primordial spirit like a brand—a form of internal destruction.

He had underestimated this Sheng Mo; he still had some comprehension of the Dao. Though their paths differed, they led to the same end: slaughter. Any divine ability that could destroy an opponent was a good one.

Thoughts raced through his mind, but the outside world passed in an instant.

Ye Chen wouldn't stand there and take it; he entered the dream realm in a flash.

Buzz!

The spear's hum could still be heard in the dream—or more precisely, the Di San Sheng Mo could keep up with the dream path, and his spear ignored its laws, already locking onto Ye Chen.

One Thought Eternal!

Ye Chen shouted coldly, unable to evade the dream path, so he froze it in place.

"Can you freeze me?"

The Sheng Mo laughed sinisterly. After several battles, he had thoroughly studied it. Though he didn't understand time immortal techniques or the eternal, he could use other laws to disrupt One Thought Eternal.

Impressive!

Ye Chen sighed inwardly, then activated another immortal technique, turning into an ethereal emperor's path. As long as he could resolve this strike, everything would be fine.

Unfortunately, wishes were beautiful, but reality was absurd.

That fleeting illusion and reality became meaningless before the Sheng Mo's spear, making it impossible to etherealize his form.

Thud!

Golden blood sprayed as he was pierced by the spear.

As expected, the black demonic patterns on the Sheng Mo's spear etched into his imperial body and imprinted on his primordial spirit.

Ye Chen's expression turned stern; he realized what those black demonic patterns were—they were laws, orders, and the destructive power of blood succession.

The Sheng Mo was no fool; the eternal could break blood succession, so destruction could break immortality—they were mutual. He aimed to shatter Ye Chen's foundations with this; if powerful enough, it could destroy his body and spirit, as a destructive force was already spreading.

Thud! Thud!

Ye Chen spat blood, his imperial body exploding on the spot. Even the eternal couldn't block the destruction, and the flying sacred bones, etched with black demonic patterns, crumbled to ash before they fell.

"How's that strike? Satisfactory?"

The Di San Sheng Mo bared his white teeth, a demonic sword slashing from his brow, targeting Ye Chen's true primordial spirit. This was a killing blow; at such a close range and speed, Ye Chen couldn't dodge, and even the Divine Dragon Shield couldn't withstand it.

But dodging wasn't necessary, and withstanding wasn't a problem—find someone to take the hit instead. The Sheng Mo was perfect for that.

Thud!

It happened in an instant. The Di San Sheng Mo, who had been sneering wickedly a moment ago, had his head explode the next, sending him tumbling away. His flesh is secondary; what was truly terrifying was his primordial spirit, split in half by his own sword.

This was all thanks to Ye Tian Di.

In the split second before the demonic general struck, Ye Chen had used Heaven-Swapping Earth, forcibly swapping positions with the Sheng Mo. The sword meant for him hit the Sheng Mo full force.

However, Ye Chen paid a price for it. The Sheng Mo's imperial body was too heavy; swapping positions nearly failed, and that fraction of a delay caught him in the sword's aftermath, carving a crack in his primordial spirit.

On top of that, the black demonic patterns from the earlier spear—the destructive power of blood succession—were still ravaging him.

Destroy!

Ye Chen snorted coldly, gathering the eternal to erase the black demonic patterns, but strangely, he couldn't dispel them.

"Excellent."

Ye Chen's voice was resolute as a cluster of flames emerged from the eternal, golden and radiant. Though not real fire, it blazed fiercely, engulfing his entire sacred body and forcefully extinguishing the demonic patterns.

Then, his cracked primordial spirit healed anew.

Glancing at his opponent, the Sheng Mo was in even more misery.

It was his own fault for that dominating sword strike; even if it couldn't kill Ye Chen, it should have taken half his life. But it missed Ye Chen and struck his own primordial spirit instead, digging a massive pit and burying himself alive.

His anger was overwhelming. He had countered techniques like One Thought Eternal, Dream Return to Antiquity, and Flying Thunder God, yet he was done in by Heaven-Swapping Earth. It was infuriating.

"Damned thing."

The Sheng Mo's face twisted grotesquely, his remaining half-head still bleeding, his split primordial spirit struggling to reform.

Zing!

Ye Chen charged with the eternal sword in hand, seizing the opportunity to strike while he was down—he understood that principle well. After suffering such a loss, he had to repay it; he had nearly been killed by the Sheng Mo.

Seeing this, the Di San Sheng Mo turned and fled.

Ye Chen had dispelled the demonic patterns, but he was still reforming his primordial spirit. After taking his own sword, who knew how much it hurt.

"Run?"

Ye Chen sneered, stepping forward to catch up and slashing with his sword.

The Sheng Mo spat blood on the spot, his sword cutting away ten thousand years of his lifespan. Already in poor condition, this made things worse, and his healing primordial spirit cracked open again.

What was more nauseating was that his blood succession had dissipated, leaving no immortality. His wounds were poisoned by the eternal.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed fiercely. With the Sheng Mo lacking blood succession, he attacked even more ferociously, striding across the void for a second strike.

Thud!

The Sheng Mo bled profusely, sent tumbling again, losing another ten thousand years of life. Strands of silver appeared in his flying blood-soaked hair.

Zing!

Ye Chen gave him no respite, swinging his sword again.

Strangely, the Sheng Mo didn't dodge, letting the sword fall. Just before it hit, his grotesque face revealed a sly, sinister smile.

Indeed, he wanted to trap Ye Chen too, to use Heaven-Swapping Earth. Pit once, pit back—that would be satisfying.

Awkwardly, Ye Chen had already positioned it with the eternal to fix him in place. The Sheng Mo's blood energy raged, but he couldn't move Ye Chen.

Not moving him wasn't the issue; that sword would hit him squarely.

In that instant, the Sheng Mo's eyes bulged, his pupils contracting. Unable to shift Ye Chen, dodging was impossible now.

Thud!

The black blood flower was striking as the Sheng Mo was split in two. His earlier sword had cleaved his own primordial spirit; now, this one cleaved his flesh.

"Damned thing."

The Sheng Mo howled in rage, his bisected body barely held together by a strip of flesh as he fled into the sky, reforming his flesh and primordial spirit while escaping.

Ye Chen pursued relentlessly; with only half his life left, he couldn't let him escape. He had to beat him to death.

"Nicely done."

The fourth divine general, clashing with the Tian Mo emperor, smiled. As expected, the supreme emperor was a world-shaking force.

Fight!

The two great generals of the heavens had gained absolute advantage, boosting the emperors' battle intent to its peak.

In contrast, the foreign domain supremes felt a chill in their hearts.

To put it bluntly, in this great melee, they were just bystanders. The true deciders were the two Tian Di Sheng Mo. If they won, so would their side; if the Sheng Mo were slain, their struggles would be futile. No matter how many they had, they couldn't match Ye Chen and Nu Di.

Thud!

In the eastern sky, the Di San Sheng Mo's demonic body completely exploded, ground to dust by Ye Chen's eternal immortal sea.

"Save me!"

The Di San Sheng Mo roared, his faint primordial spirit fleeing desperately toward the Di Er Sheng Mo. Even with a body, he couldn't take Ye Chen; in primordial spirit form, it was even less possible.

"Save me!"

His cry seemed to echo, coming from the northern expanse.

Listening closely, it wasn't an echo.

It was the Di Er Sheng Mo, also screaming for help, reduced to just his primordial spirit. The two Sheng Mo looked at each other across the heavens, their hearts turning cold.

"It's over."

Nu Di parted her lips slightly, manifesting a brilliant immortal sword with one hand, like a divine ray streaking across the vast sky.

Thud!

The fleeing Di Er Sheng Mo was nailed in the void by a sword, but not killed—it was left for Ye Chen to devour.

"It's over."

Ye Chen said lightly, forming an eternal battle spear in his hand, etched with immortal patterns. Like a beam of immortal light, it crossed the sky, nailing the escaping Di San Sheng Mo in the heavens.

Ah!

The two Tian Di Sheng Mo wailed, using all their demonic power to break free, but the eternal divine force held them fast. Their so-called realms, laws, and powers became laughable in that moment.

Nu Di suddenly turned and charged toward the foreign domain supremes.

The foreign domain supremes had already retreated the instant the two Sheng Mo were nailed in the sky—who dared fight now? Fear had enveloped them, leaving no chance for reversal.

"Run? Where to?"

The Chaos Cauldron chased ahead, shouting noisily.

Behind, the emperors pursued without pause.

But in terms of speed and agility, none matched the Heavenly Court Nu Di. She held the eternal bow and arrows, ready to pick them off one by one.
