A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 620 [Heavenly Court] On the Verge of Collapse

A terrifying final Dao sound resounded, and an astonishing array diagram filled with the meaning of the end of an era rose into the sky, tearing open a blank abyss between the Emperor and Si Wu. The phantoms of four peerless killing swords appeared and disappeared in this space, forming a myriad worlds on the verge of their end, flashing with bone-chilling killing intent, slightly hindering this well-prepared technique of annihilation.

In the next instant, in a brief moment so short that even the most powerful and ordinary people had to employ more methods, the Emperor suddenly raised his hand and flipped it forward, as if turning a page of an ancient book that recorded countless ancient histories, directly banishing "the contemporary history of Si Wu wielding weapons and killing his way into the Heavenly Court" to another illusory future that had never been determined.

With a snap of the fingers, the void between the Emperor and the Void was shattered, and the annihilation within was wiped out one by one. The weapons, imbued with the power of the Immortal Emperor and dark matter, "sacrificed" all those who stood in their way, causing the void to resonate with ethereal and eerie hymns of praise, revealing a trace of inexplicable holiness.

"Pfft!"

The weapons pierced through the Emperor's body, dismembering every inch of broken bone, disintegrating every drop of blood, and annihilating every fragment of flesh. They sacrificed the "Dao" and "Dharma" that ran through the Emperor's body to the ominous Calamity Land, thus attempting to achieve eternal annihilation for the Immortal Emperor in another way.

However, after Si Wu used the Immortal Emperor's Law and dark matter to obliterate the imperial body before him, his expression changed instantly. He looked around and stared at the Heavenly Court, where time was chaotic and blurred, and its "location" had now deviated from "contemporary history".

"When did you perfect the Immortal Emperor's Law and firmly establish yourself in the End of the Road Domain? We three Supreme Beings have been keeping a close eye on you all these years." Si Wu's expression was slightly unpleasant. "Moreover, the Immortal Emperor's Law you perfected is based on time. Under such circumstances, the River of Time has not shown any abnormal changes."

"This is completely illogical!"

Under Si Wu's gaze, a wisp of time traveled back from the distant, illusory future to the present, reforming into the figure of the Emperor, who looked at the High Priest with a mysterious smile on his face.

The Emperor chuckled, “My cultivation system has only been fully perfected for a short time. As for the fluctuations in the River of Time caused by the emergence of the Time-based Immortal Emperor Technique, the River of Time does fluctuate, but you just haven’t noticed it yet.”

His palm slowly swept across the void, drawing out the illusory river of time, transforming it into a Heavenly Blade of Time. The dazzling light of the blade extended from the past history to this exiled "contemporary history," and as strands of dark matter fell away, it extended to the Immortal Emperor's origin of Si Wu.

In an instant, the entire Heavenly Court was filled with fireflies. Every inch of space and every dimension was filled with an extreme brilliance that was terrifying, turning everything in the world into black and white, like an ancient ink painting being torn apart.

But at the same moment, a terrifying sacrificial intent burst forth from this ancient ink painting. A sacrificial weapon used for ritual purposes unleashed an extremely ominous aura covering a terrifying area, transforming into twisted ancient characters that horrified the world, frantically corrupting the power of time, and even causing it to gradually retreat.

Si Wuzhi sneered, "So what if you step into the realm of the end of the road? Eternal silence will eventually descend upon you! Your futile struggle now will only lead you to your final moment, which will be even more painful!"

Strands of time were continuously distorted and destroyed by the ancient texts, while streaks of dark matter relentlessly slashed away at time like blades, resulting in a violent collision between two different Immortal Emperor techniques.

The rules that constitute the concept of heaven and earth have now split into two parts, controlled by two indescribable beings who wield a certain logic, and are engaged in the most brutal battle.

In a fictional historical moment in the future, all beings in the myriad realms witnessed an emperor who treads upon time and wields the power of eternity, slaying a terrifying figure shrouded in ominous gloom from the infinite heavens.

But in the blink of an eye, the being at this illusory historical juncture saw that ominous and terrifying figure tear apart the emperor's shadow that treads on time and holds the power of time, smearing every inch of its blood and bone on an ominous altar, and sacrificing it life and death.

The illusory future, which has not yet been determined, is being frantically overturned. The rules that arise and perish naturally, like grains of sand in the Ganges, are being distorted, and the already self-consistent logic of billions of things in the world is being transformed into two indescribable means of fighting.

Suddenly, a vast expanse extending into the future was filled with the blood and bones of the supreme being at the end of the road, and scattered with the incomplete and broken body of the emperor. Further out at the forefront of the long river of time in all the heavens and myriad worlds, streaks of blood-red waves gradually rose up, becoming violent and tending to boil!

On the dark embankment at the forefront of history in the long river of time.

The Emperor, whose illusory image of the Heavenly Court was faintly visible behind him, stood before all the heavens and myriad realms, gazing indifferently at the vast army of corpses arrayed before him, his eyes coldly fixed on the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld standing behind all the corpses.

The Emperor's voice was icy cold, "As expected of the ancient underworld, only a few years have passed, yet you have already gathered another dark army. And you, this strange being, possess the Immortal Emperor's Technique, which can elevate the cultivation of these ominous beings out of thin air. This is something I did not expect."

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld continuously operated his Immortal Emperor Law. That ominous rule and logic quietly merged with the dark army lined up in front of him, elevating the cannon fodder legion composed of Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperors, Dark Immortal Kings, and Dark True Immortals into a part of his own corrupt flesh and blood, giving it a trace of the supreme essence of the ultimate path.

He chuckled and said, "The fact that we were able to replenish the bodies so quickly is all thanks to the battlefield of the heavens. Without the remnants of those heavenly beings who sacrificed their lives, filled with extreme resentment and bitterness, I would not have been able to assemble a usable legion in such a short time."

With a wave of his hand, the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld unleashed a terrifying army of darkness, carrying wisps of supreme-level dark matter, and in the midst of silence, brandished their weapons and launched a direct attack on all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Emperor's expression hardened slightly. He reached out and swept his hand across the air, drawing forth the River of Time. Every moment, every minute, every second of his past was reflected here, evolving into countless historical projections with different combat powers. Wielding various "Dao" and "Dharma," he unleashed all the great offensive techniques that had appeared in the myriad realms throughout history.

The Emperor's projection, standing in the realm of humanity, is locked in a fierce battle with hundreds of Dark True Immortals. Bearing the aura of a mortal immortal, the Emperor's projection directly targets one Dark Immortal King after another, relentlessly engaging and forcefully annihilating them. Upon entering the Immortal King realm, the Emperor's projection, radiating terrifying Emperor light, directly clashes with dozens of Dark Kings who also possess Emperor light.

The Emperor's projection, having already stepped into the realm of Emperors, unleashed its full power, using the special advantages of various time-related Dao techniques to directly drag away one after another of the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor cannon fodder, completely erasing all traces of their existence in the long river of time.

With combat power far exceeding their level, these historical projections, which were like insignificant waves compared to the dark army, forcefully intercepted all the ominousness and darkness, dragging this dark army into an inescapable quagmire of time, unable to advance even an inch.

However, the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld revealed a chilling smile, clasping his hands together. "As expected of the Heavenly Emperor who founded the Heavenly Court, just like Huang, you were actually able to unleash a considerable amount of time power while battling the High Priest in the endless illusory future, managing to hold back my long-prepared army." "But, with the Immortal Emperor's Grand Formation largely paralyzed, even with multiple Immortal Emperor weapons assisting you, how long can you hold out?"

"Moreover, the one from the Four Extremes Floating Earth has already entered the Heavenly Court. How long can that half-broken Immortal Emperor Formation withstand his attacks without the intervention of the beings from the End of the Road?"

"Your Majesty, I await your surrender!"

The magic activated by the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Ancient Underworld became even more violent. Each dark being, possessing a trace of the essence of a being from the dead, after slaying a historical projection of the Emperor, caused the traces of the Emperor on the river of time to become slightly blurred. At the same time, the ominousness buried deep within the [Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit] became more active, causing the power possessed by this Heavenly Emperor to dissipate more rapidly.

Although a dark being's existence was erased from the river of time by a historical projection of the Emperor, and a part of him also fell into eternal silence, with the help of dark matter and the support of the Calamity Earth, the Emperor's power declined faster than his, and his process toward eternal silence was also more rapid.

If this speed is maintained, the Emperor will be exhausted and thus die forever.

Within the Heavenly Court, at the forefront of history.

The Dark Immortal Emperor, originating from the Four Extremes Floating Earth, was surrounded by wisps of ominous earth that had almost solidified into substance. While enduring the offensive power within the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array, he constructed one terrifying, bizarre Daoist technique after another at the level of the End of the Path, continuously burying the power and spirituality of the Heavenly Court from a conceptual level.

Amidst the dust, the existence of the Heavenly Court was gradually erased from its conceptual form, slowly becoming illusory. Even the core of the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array, suppressed by the Heavenly Court, appeared as ethereal as a dream about to end.

The illusory Emperor figure sitting inside seemed helpless, only able to continuously operate the formation to suppress the Dark Immortal Emperor's senses, and while setting up various interferences, he tried his best to repair the half-damaged Immortal Emperor Formation.

Seeing this, the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth laughed in a sharp and hoarse voice while breaking the formation, "Emperor, give up! Half of this great formation has already been evaporated by a wisp of the Ancestor's power! Next, I only need to break the other half, and that 'barrier' that prevents my race from invading the myriad worlds will completely disappear!"

"This is your last chance to join us! It is also your only chance to survive!"

The Emperor's gaze remained as indifferent as ever, seemingly unconcerned about the formation that was about to be broken. He was merely trying to blur his senses within the Heavenly Court as much as possible, and to repair the Immortal Emperor's formation patterns that had been evaporated by a wisp of eerie green mist, thus hindering the Emperor's progress in breaking the formation.

At the same time, the Emperor looked at the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Land and chuckled, "Indeed, as long as you break through the other half, the 'barrier' that prevents you from invading the myriad worlds will completely disappear. But even so, how long will it take you to break through the remaining Immortal Emperor formation?"

"As for my eternal silence... Ah."

Immediately afterwards, the Emperor said very seriously, "Even before I had fully established myself in the End of the Road Domain, I was confident that I could stop you for tens of millions of years. Now that I have attained the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, I stand on the same level as you!"

Even if the Immortal Emperor's Grand Array is half-broken by the strange power of the Primordial Ancestor, even if one has to fight against the High Priest in the endless illusory future, even if one has to project countless historical avatars on the Dark Dike to block the Dark Army, and even if one has to suppress a Dark Immortal Emperor within the Emperor Cauldron

"I, the Emperor, am invincible in the world!"

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth suddenly turned extremely dark.

No matter how heaven-defying the battle prowess of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, he is merely a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. Even those among them who can be considered half-step Immortal Emperors and temporarily step into the realm of the End of the Path can only exchange a few blows with the Supreme Beings of the End of the Path before their cultivation level drops and they are easily slaughtered.

Being ambushed by a supreme Dao Ancestor, resulting in the loss of a supreme combatant, is an indelible stain on the history of these four Dark Immortal Emperors. Those of similar realm who were in the Calamity Land and the Heavenly Battlefield, upon learning of this, even without uttering a word, looked at them with strange expressions.

If it weren't for the fact that all four Dark Immortal Emperors originated from the depths of the Calamity Land, their origins were traceable, and they had made immortal contributions to their race over countless eras, they would probably have been suspected of being undercover agents.

After all, a single Supreme Dao Ancestor managed to suppress one of the four Dark Immortal Emperors who were attacking the myriad realms. Even if it was a sneak attack, it was still too incredible and too unbelievable, making one have to consider the possibility of an undercover agent.

The Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Earth fell silent, his gaze fixed on the Immortal Emperor Array Patterns that covered the Heavenly Court, his eyes gradually hardening.

The terrifying Immortal Emperor's Technique operated wildly, causing the source of his ultimate path within his body to ignite. In an instant, he unleashed a world-shaking attack, shattering countless paths and grinding away array patterns one after another, causing the entire Heavenly Court to tremble violently.

After this attack, the dark matter that had been surrounding the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Land was transformed into the power within his body. Together with the depleted source of the path, they transformed into a magical power even greater than before, and launched a near-life-or-death attack on the very foundation of the entire Immortal Emperor Formation!
"boom!"

Cracks gradually appeared within the Heavenly Court, countless array patterns shattered rapidly, and one by one, components at the Immortal Emperor level had a portion of their origin completely evaporated in this attack, causing the entire Heavenly Court's path to its ultimate mystery to suddenly slip a bit.

Under the almost desperate attack of the Dark Immortal Emperor of the Four Extremes Floating Land, the Heavenly Court was already teetering on the brink of collapse.
