Chapter 2241: Emptiness of Ten Thousand Years

He Chong Xuan, possessing a natural Dao pulse that perfectly aligns with the will of Heaven, was born to sever delusion. In a very short time, he had already understood where his own Dao lay.

Other children knew how to cry, laugh, and speak.

He knew "Dao."

Once, two transcendent beings showed great interest in him. One wanted to pass on his lineage, the other wanted to possess his Dao body.

One was the most brilliant figure since the dawn of Dao history, the other arrived with a gift of the fifty-thousand-year history of the Xue He Sect.

And he never wavered, always observing his own Dao.

Of course, with the passage of time, the situation changed. He could be considered to have successfully "severed delusion" twice, having cut away two wrong life choices.

But before the end of the Xue He Sect and the Tai Xu Faction arrived, who could be as steadfast and unmoved as him?

He always walked his own path.

Everything he desired, he must possess. Everything else was simply boring.

The current strike of his knife originated from the fundamental place. He had spent thirty years understanding the single word "Dao," and tonight, here, he would sever "Dao."

The distance from the True Cave realm to the Dao-Establishing realm is a chasm between heaven and earth. But He Chong Xuan's knife traced back to the origin. Transcending divine power, rules, and existence, it directly pointed to the fundamental principles of the Dao path.

This was the knife with which He Chong Xuan was confident he could contend with Jiang Wang and Dou Zhao in a life-and-death struggle!

In this path of darkness, Di Ye Yu had already reached the pinnacle.

No one in all the heavens and myriad realms could challenge him on this path.

But at this moment, his Dao body was already damaged, the wound expanded by the Shao Hua Spear. His subconscious counterattack was avoided by Jiang Wang. A divided thought to stab was blocked by a divine power iron wall, failing to kill the 'ant.' And his main body was in a stalemate with Ying Wu, being shattered backward as the Tai Xu Pavilion shook for an instant.

The peak that propped up the sky was already shaking.

He Chong Xuan's Sun, Moon, and Star three-wheel knife swept across.

In the endless darkness, a sliver of light appeared. Di Ye Yu's fundamental Dao principle actually produced some tiny gaps, and under the suppression of overbearing power, the cracks rapidly expanded!

"You seek death!"

Di Ye Yu changed his chop to a palm strike, intending to push away the Ba Bridge, first diverting some strength to kill these annoying yet somewhat poisonous mosquitoes.

Ying Wu took another step forward, stepping down from the Ba Bridge, his five fingers spread wide, grasping heaven and earth: "All vassals, come from the west!"

He was too overbearing.

Charging forward without restraint, hundred without taboo.

He seemed like a supreme emperor, gathering soldiers from under heaven. Under his imperial decree, none could disobey; those who disobeyed would perish. With one hand, he grasped Di Ye Yu's bone knife, and they faced each other.

Two absolute peak Dao bodies were now in close proximity. Their Dao paths collided in all directions, almost allowing them to feel the thunderous wind of each other's breath!

Ying Wu entangled Di Ye Yu under the Ba Bridge, one hand grasping the knife, the other fist smashing towards his face: "Claim minister also die!"

At this moment, Di Ye Yu finally understood that he was the intended target.

It wasn't that he couldn't think of it, but such a thing was too arrogant, too unbelievable.

A majestic Asura King, how could he be willing to be beheaded like this?

At this moment, he raised his head and let out a long howl: "Tonight, eternal night, darkness forever sinks!"

His Dao body erupted with unimaginable strength, like a surging tide sweeping everything away. He was the beginning of the storm, the initial wave of the tsunami.

This battlefield, chosen by the human race's chosen ones, was already covered by the long night. At this moment, it became even more pitch-black like ink.

Only a few wisps of residual light remained, the struggle of the human race's chosen ones, but they fundamentally couldn't illuminate such thick, heavy darkness.

The entire battlefield was sinking. This vast expanse of space, which had been stripped from the New Wild Continent, was sinking into eternal void.

Here was the void, the long night, the cage from which one could never escape. It was also the fate that one Asura, from birth to death, could never shake off.

It was the hatred that Asura were born with!

The so-called stone forest no longer existed. The so-called time and space no longer held any real meaning. The so-called rules could no longer be defined.

Everyone was sinking here.

Now was the true moment of life and death.

Ying Wu's overbearing fist approached, yet was infinitely pulled away.

Di Ye Yu intended to withdraw his body and leave, yet was suppressed by the overbearing power.

Two absolute peak Dao bodies entangled and fought fiercely within the chaotic time and space. Within the darkness, another knife suddenly rose, pointing directly at He Chong Xuan's brow.

He Chong Xuan's grasp of the war opportunity was not inferior to Jiang Wang's. He drew his knife and retreated swiftly as predicted —

But he fundamentally couldn't avoid it!

From the perspective of the absolute peak, where in the True Cave realm wasn't there a flaw?

This knife came as if from outside heaven, existing before He Chong Xuan. It chopped down a certain fate.

Di Ye Yu, fighting Ying Wu with a single knife, had divided a hand to slaughter the True Person. This should have been something simpler than killing a chicken.

However, in this ultimate darkness, starlight still flickered.

Suddenly flashing, suddenly flashing, suddenly flashing.

Before the bone knife, that brilliant thing continuously shattered, yet continuously reappeared.

After three continuous times…

The advancing knife edge within the thick ink-like night color once again chopped onto the iron wall.

It was still Qin Zhi Zhen!

Everyone was a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion. Their authority was almost equivalent, and they were all on the same race battlefield. You used it, I also used it. As for using the Tai Xu Pavilion, it was simply a matter of who was faster. Qin Zhi Zhen lifted his hand, summoning the void, and the Tai Xu Pavilion was first "borrowed" by He Chong Xuan. A warrior like him, of course, wouldn't just stand there. He grasped the empty hand and followed the momentum, enabling the ten thousand changes to supplement his divine power strength. He summoned the iron wall again, just at this moment, blocking a fatal attack for He Chong Xuan!

The iron wall was shattered again. This time, Qin Zhi Zhen not only spat blood but was also affected by the terrifying strength wave, causing his Dao body to lose control and fly backward.

Within the shattered debris of the iron wall's divine power, Di Ye Yu's slaughtering knife for killing the True Person was still advancing. The star wheel flashed three times again, shattering three wheels.

And then, a figure in white suddenly returned.

He Chong Xuan actually no longer fled. He turned his body and pounced back, meeting the knife with his knife!

The Sun, Moon, and Star three-wheel knife, aimed at severing Dao, fell on the weakest point of the bone knife —

However, the two met, and it was He Chong Xuan's divine power knife that was sent flying.

An absolute peak knife, its momentum hard to stop.

He Chong Xuan tilted his head at the moment of extreme danger, and the bone knife's blade almost brushed past his face.

But the sharp energy brought by the bone knife still fell on his face.

This extremely handsome face was horizontally chopped open for nearly half its width, revealing the cheekbone under the open flap of flesh.

And he turned away and advanced.

Under the splashing fresh blood, amidst the bone-chilling sound of teeth gnashing, He Chong Xuan in fluttering white clothes, and the bone knife that swept past him — he was still approaching Di Ye Yu!

He Chong Xuan's heavy profound strength continuously increased his speed.

The scattered divine power light in his palm gathered back, and he once again grasped the Sun, Moon, and Star three-wheel knife!

He still wanted to charge towards the absolute peak!

"You dare to divide your heart and let go in the face of isolated time!" Ying Wu suddenly became greatly angered, like the high heavens tilting, roaring with the hatred of an overbearing lord. He came with great momentum, sealing Di Ye Yu's single knife, and with one fist, fixed his Dao body in place: "Death penalty!"

Di Ye Yu's arrow tail, like a thrown spear, killed towards him. A strike like a heavenly horse crossing the void, it was nailed onto Ying Wu's fist. Under the urge of absolute peak strength, outside this root of the arrow tail, fine silk-like tendrils of Dao marks spun and flew, stubbornly resisting Ying Wu's overbearing fist.

He had divided a knife to chop and kill He Chong Xuan, but it hadn't fully succeeded. This knife couldn't be withdrawn and was isolated outside by the Ba Bridge.

Although Ying Wu had just ascended to the absolute peak, how could he be underestimated?

In this interval, behind him, a vast number of virtual fist shadows swung out, thousands, tens of thousands, a hundred thousand fists, like a blacksmith hammering iron, like a strong man beating a drum, pressing the arrow tail down.

Di Ye Yu's robust Dao body stood firm in the center of the night color. His pupils at this moment evolved the ultimate Dao path —

The vast eternal night, beacon smoke suddenly rose, all things silently extinguished, the power of darkness rushed towards all directions, even into different time and space, wanting to break the suppression of the Ba Bridge, to contend for a breath of space.

But that stone bridge seemed like a piece of the sky. The Nine-Five Supreme, the whole heaven of stars fought, and Ying Wu under the Ba Bridge seemed to wear a flat heaven crown. The bustling human voices gathered into kingly overbearing power, falling on his fist, suppressing forever!

Di Ye Yu lifted his knee and collided, like a ground dragon turning over. Ying Wu also returned with a knee collision, which was the gathering and grinding of power.

Both sides were already close, every fraction of strength was in contention.

Intention, Dao path, fists and feet, absolute peak origin…

The Crown Prince of Da Qin used all his means to firmly fix Di Ye Yu here, leading him onto a life-and-death consumption balance.

And the weight of victory and defeat would fall —

He Chong Xuan was already firm enough, and his knife was fast enough.

But this was still not the fastest counterattack.

Before this, Qin Zhi Zhen in his black clothes, under the situation where his defensive divine power was twice forcibly destroyed, his body flew backward involuntarily.

Yet, a long spear of frost and snow flew with him in reverse. The white spear and the black knife crossed in parallel in the air.

Ji Zhao Nan, having escaped a life-and-death crisis, killed back without the slightest hesitation.

His Shao Hua, silvery white like snow, at this moment, had a point of "darkness" at the tip of the spear.

The "darkness" of darkness.

This spear, this point, was originally one with this dark world. It was his description of Di Ye Yu's hometown.

This spear was named "Return Place."

It was the spear Ji Zhao Nan prepared to see Li Yisan with!

A great man's return place is wrapped in horse hide.

Rao Bing Zhang's return place is the human world.

Ji Zhao Nan, when the spear is out, it is also the return!

Compared to Li Yisan before his ascension to the peak, Ji Zhao Nan perhaps lagged behind in all aspects. If it were a simple division of victory and defeat, he would have no chance.

But at least within this one spear, this ultimate kill, he indeed had the qualification to pull Li Yisan into a life-and-death battlefield.

But Ji Zhao Nan's spear, chasing stars and catching the moon only for this return, was still not at the forefront.

At such a moment, the entire battlefield no longer had anything else existing. All everything was unified by darkness — except for Ying Wu, who was confronting Di Ye Yu, and several True Persons speeding along the line of life and death.

From this state, it was indeed the correct choice not to let Gan Chang An and Wang Yi Wu join the battle — with their cultivation, merely maintaining themselves within this battlefield was already very difficult. A slight mistake, and they could only become a part of the darkness.

But in this deep, ink-like darkness, darkness was not the absolute theme.

Di Ye Yu's Dao body was damaged. That was stabbed open by Long Xiang Si, and his waist was expanded by the Shao Hua Spear.

Di Ye Yu's fundamental Dao principle had gaps. That was penetrated by Chop Delusion, torn open by overbearing power, and until now, suppressed by the Ba Bridge, preventing it from healing.

A crack is where light comes from.

Penetrating the crack may not only be sunlight, moonlight, or starlight.

The first fire reflected in the crevice was gold, red, and white firelight, continuously changing, reflecting each other.

And then it suddenly turned red-gold.

An eternally undecaying red-gold light pillar descended from the sky, piercing through the darkness.

It seemed as if heaven and earth were first opened, and divine light shone upon the world.

The so-called "light pillar" was only a trace left behind.

It was because the person who drew the sword was too fast and absolute. His light fell within time and space, his undecaying nature was engraved by darkness — he penetrated the endless darkness, and with one sword, killed towards the Asura King's waist again.

The absolute peak Dao body instinctively blocked the long sword.

At this moment, Jiang Wang's calm face suddenly showed the phase of an angry demon ape, suddenly showed the phase of a high and distant immortal dragon, suddenly showed the phase of a compassionate sentient being. After three changes, all phases scattered, and a red heart was fixed on the true self.

His body became the three realms, the strongest state!

His sword drove straight in, piercing through Di Ye Yu's Dao body, and emerging from his abdomen!

The Threefold True Fire, and the Wind of Bu Zhou, flowed around Di Ye Yu, burning his body from the outside and scraping his bones from the inside. This caused this Asura King, who stood at the peak of the present world, to let out painful and shocked roars!

Di Ye Yu's arrow tail finally couldn't resist the pressure and broke inch by inch. Ying Wu's fist heavily smashed onto his single horn —

Time and space seemed to freeze at this moment.

Di Ye Yu's Dao body suddenly brightened and suddenly darkened. Two kinds of origin Dao principles, which had reached the limit of the present world, confronted each other within his body. He still didn't admit defeat, all this was not yet over.

But —

Flowing light flew past, Shao Hua pursued relentlessly.

A snow-white long spear traversed the red-gold undecaying passage, just reaching its end point at this moment. The spear tip penetrated from the back of Di Ye Yu's neck, and emerged from his throat!

"Hiss!"

Di Ye Yu was unable to make a sound.

And his Dao body again emitted a sound like tearing cloth.

This peak skin bag of the present world was cut open in a new position. The uniquely shaped three-wheel knife directly pierced into Di Ye Yu's side waist and twisted horizontally, attempting to divide him in two.

The absolute peak Dao body, which was taller than Zhang, remained still at this moment. Within his body, however, heaven and earth were turned upside down. It seemed as if a mountain torrent was raging, and heavenly thunder was roaring, roaring non-stop, not for a single moment.

The battle was already over.

Di Ye Yu's origin strength collapsed a thousand li, and could no longer resist Ying Wu's overbearing power.

In the midst of this heaven-collapsing and earth-cracking wound, Di Ye Yu stared intently at Ying Wu — he realized that the truly terrible thing was only just beginning.

He was a strong one who was accustomed to fear.

His life of hardship needed no further description.

The past was all unlike the present. Nothing more than using ten fingers as hoes, grinding his knees as stairs, climbing step by step from the depths of the Yu Abyss onto the heavenly road, climbing to the superordinary absolute peak. Yet, collapsing in an instant.

Di Ye Yu finally felt pain. He pained at seeing only the absolute peak in his eyes, thus falling into a trap. He pained at not being able to utilize the absolute peak strength well, to kill out a true future for his race.

Asura were born in hate, he hated that he could not avenge that hate.

At such a moment, his pair of eyes were completely painted with ink color.

He seemed to see that heavenly road of the great Yu Abyss, within the eternal torment of years, how many warriors struggled within it.

He seemed to hear those cheers that rose because of him, which were fresh and enthusiastic. They lived in hell, not only having hate. The Asura race celebrated his, Di Ye Yu's, ascension to the peak —

Ten thousand years, ten thousand years!

Ten thousand years became empty.

All not seen!

At the end of his life, he chopped out the last knife —

A path of darkness, deeper and more profound than the long night, was drawn from his absolute peak Dao body, showing a terrifying, incomprehensible terror, spreading with the darkness, chopping at the enemy in endless places.

The Forever Dark Heavenly Knife!

Who did this knife want to chop?

Before Di Ye Yu struck with his knife, several True Persons had already withdrawn. Or more accurately, at the moment they stabbed him, Jiang Wang and the others had just received their swords, drawn their spears, and withdrawn their knives.

No one would be foolish enough to stick to the attack of an absolute peak strong one, except for Ying Wu, who was also at the absolute peak.

Only because Di Ye Yu's knife came too fast, did the three True Persons form a false image of escaping at the instant of the strike.

Of course, no matter which True Person this knife was given to, they would all be unable to bear it.

So He Chong Xuan had already pressed out the star wheel, and Jiang Wang also used the demon ape Dharma phase as a shield behind him —

Ying Wu bombarded out his fist!

He decreed with heavenly might: "Do not give close eye!"

He forcefully stopped this knife, and blocked it with his fist.

The knife edge and bone emitted an ear-piercing friction sound.

Di Ye Yu's final knife in his life directly chopped open Ying Wu's entire right arm, stopping only at his torso — the reason it stopped was that Ying Wu used his left hand to palm-cut himself, severing his right arm, and also chopping the strength of the Forever Dark Heavenly Knife away from his Dao body.

And despite this, a clear crack had appeared on Ying Wu's chest, his five organs exposed. He pressed them back with one hand, tied blood as a belt, and then covered it with his python robe.

At this moment, the void trembled, and Qin Zhi Zhen, enduring his injury, traversed the void and came, silently enduring. With a magnificent knife, he chopped down Di Ye Yu's Dao body.

This was the explosion of a True Person's body suppressed to the limit, it could be called magnificent —

But it chopped empty.

Before the black knife named "Horizontal Vertical" fell, Di Ye Yu's strength had already collapsed. That so-called Dao body was only an image left attached to heaven and earth.

The endless darkness scattered, and the lost battlefield returned to the New Wild Continent — although it had already become a blank land.

The sky was bright and clear, with no sign of flying snow.

Suddenly, a warm wind blew over, and the color of the distant bare mountains suddenly turned green.

Drizzle, drizzle, wind floated fine rain.

This was the wind that revived all things, the rain that nourished the earth.

After these hundred years, the spiritual roots here will not stop.

After these thousand years, the vital energy here will not decay.

Because of Di Ye Yu's death, the New Wild Continent will be more fertile.

Chopping an absolute peak today is a great benefit to heaven!
