Perfection: The Eastern Emperor Bell manifests, I am the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor

Chapter 97 The Imperial War Sweeping Across the Heavens

Meanwhile, Lu Xuan, who was in seclusion deep within the heart of the Fusang Tree at the core of the Sun Star, was completely unaware of the commotion and upheavals in the outside world.

His entire being was immersed in the ultimate deduction and sublimation of his own Dao.

Chaos roared, fighting spirit burned, and the three corpses rotated... An astonishing transformation concerning his future path was quietly brewing in this silence.

When he breaks through the barrier, it will surely be earth-shattering!
The Immortal Realm has entered a new era led by the Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Court.

Meanwhile, undercurrents still surge quietly in the depths of the Boundary Sea and throughout the myriad realms.

An even bigger storm is brewing.

In the depths of the border sea, time loses its meaning.

The fierce battle between the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the Azure Emperor has lasted for thousands of years!
For ordinary people, this represents the rise and fall of dozens or even hundreds of dynasties.

For a true immortal, this is a long period of seclusion.

For the two quasi-immortal emperors engaged in fierce battle, this was nothing more than a desperate struggle in their endless lives.

Their battlefield is no longer limited to the very core of that source of darkness.

A terrifying energy storm collided with the Great Dao, like a destructive tide, propelling them from the deepest part of the Boundary Sea all the way to the relatively outer areas!
Wherever it goes, everything withers and the laws of nature crumble!
A vast continent floating in the Boundary Sea, formed from the remnants of a bygone ancient realm, was swept away by the aftershocks of the Azure Emperor's Annihilation Palm Print, instantly and silently turning into dust, along with any faint sparks of civilization that might have been conceived on it, completely vanishing.

Next came a long river of void that stretched across the starry sea, formed by pure spatial laws. It was eroded by the dark origins stirred up by the Azure Emperor, causing the river to stop flowing and the spatial structure to completely disintegrate, turning into a chaotic void.

Even a Dark Immortal King lurking deep within the Boundary Sea, attempting to reap the benefits, was swept away by a stray Emperor-level Dao Law because he got too close, and couldn't even let out a scream.

Its enormous demonic body and immortal kingly laws melted and vanished instantly, just like ice and snow under the sun!
A celestial king, a giant capable of unleashing calamities across the heavens, was annihilated, body and soul, as if he had never existed!
This horrifying scene, like the most terrifying plague, quickly spread throughout the Boundary Sea!
Whether they were Immortal Kings belonging to the Dark Faction or ordinary Immortal Kings from all the heavens and myriad realms, training in the Boundary Sea or living in seclusion, they were all completely shocked by this incomprehensible and terrifying scene!
"The Emperor... it is the Emperor who is waging war!"

"How is this possible?! Besides the source of darkness, there is another emperor?!"

"Retreat! Get away from that area! Getting caught in it means certain death!"

"That is... the power of annihilation! Completely different from darkness! Who is conquering the Dark Emperor?"

Countless powerful divine thoughts, carrying undisguised shock, fear, and a hint of unbelievable fervor, were projected from all parts of the Boundary Sea toward the direction the battlefield was moving.

The Celestial Kings manifested one after another, standing atop the ancient realm barriers or star debris where they resided, gazing at the battle that would determine the fate of all the heavens.

They saw two figures, so blurry that their exact forms were indistinguishable, yet exuding an aura that transcended all paths, colliding fiercely in the Boundary Sea.

A figure surrounded by a hazy, annihilating divine light; wherever it passed, all things returned to nothingness, carrying a sense of tragic grandeur and resolute determination.

Another figure merged into the boundless darkness, devouring everything and radiating a cold and cruel imperial aura.

Each of their encounters seemed to reshape the earth, water, fire, and wind, creating and ending a miniature universe.

Every wisp of aura that escaped was enough to make even a Celestial King tremble with fear, feeling his own insignificance and fragility.

"Boom——!"

An even more violent collision erupted in a vast star field in the middle of the Boundary Sea!
The nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor used the "Silent Annihilation Heavenly Technique" to evolve a spear of returning to the void that traversed the starry sea. The spear was wrapped with the afterimage of the collapse of the Xuanhuang Great World and the cries of countless living beings, and it fiercely stabbed towards the Azure Emperor!

The Azure Emperor roared, gathering the essence of darkness and transforming it into a dark celestial monument engraved with countless twisted demonic patterns, which withstood the attack!
The Spear of Return to Nothingness clashed violently with the Dark Celestial Stele!
An indescribable, destructive energy spread out in a spherical shape, instantly wiping out all matter within several galaxies in the vicinity!
The few dead stars that were relatively close by vaporized instantly, like ice blocks thrown into a furnace!
Further away, some Immortal Kings who were spying felt their own Dao Fruits tremble violently, even though they were separated by endless distance. Their souls felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, and they all changed color in horror and retreated violently once again!

The result of this clash was once again that the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor had a slight advantage!
Although the Spear of Return to Nothingness failed to completely pierce the Dark Heavenly Stele, its ultimate Daoist aura of annihilation permeated through it, causing the Cang Emperor's blurry dark body to ripple violently and his aura to become noticeably disordered!

"Roar! You can't kill me!"

The Azure Emperor roared in anger, and the dark source surged wildly, repairing its own damage, but its aura had dimmed slightly compared to thousands of years ago.

After thousands of years of fierce battle, facing the nameless quasi-immortal emperor's Path of Annihilation, which contained the hatred of all living beings and was incomparably powerful, this veteran dark quasi-immortal emperor also felt unprecedented pressure and exhaustion!
The nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor remained silent, his attacks relentless.

His blue robe was also stained with some dim marks, signs of being corrupted by the source of darkness.

For him, the extreme bursts that have continued for thousands of years are also a huge burden.

But his eyes, hidden beneath the hazy light, grew ever more resolute and colder.

He knew that the Azure Emperor was right; in this place, the source of darkness was almost inexhaustible, and a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous to him.

But he had no choice and no regrets.

His path is to be practiced in destruction and sublimated in annihilation.

The battlefield between the two Quasi-Immortal Emperors continued to move through the Boundary Sea, like two destructive suns. Wherever they passed, all things were thrown into chaos, with only the Emperor-level laws roaring and colliding!

The kings of the Boundary Sea could only watch from afar, their hearts filled with excitement, but none dared to approach even a fraction of a step closer.

They knew that the outcome of this imperial war would directly affect the future order of countless eras and myriad worlds!

Will darkness continue to shroud us, or will a new ray of dawn appear?
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Realm, Lu Xuan, who was in seclusion at the core of the Sun Star, seemed to sense the earth-shattering fluctuations of the Emperor's War in the Boundary Sea. The chaotic energy and fighting spirit surrounding him became even more turbulent...

The storm is coming!
Within the Boundary Sea, two Quasi-Immortal Emperors have been battling for thousands of years. The vast imperial might and destructive aftershocks of their collision have long since transcended the confines of the Boundary Sea.

That terrifying aura, which transcended all paths, was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that crossed endless time and space, reaching all the heavens and myriad realms, and naturally also alarming the newly established Immortal Realm.

The Celestial Realm, the Lingxiao Palace.

The Golden Crow Heavenly Emperor—the Dawn Emperor—is listening to reports from all sides and handling affairs of the Heavenly Court from his throne.

Now, his imperial power is growing stronger every day. He rules over the Immortal Realm and is blessed with good fortune. He feels that he has reached the pinnacle of all the heavens and myriad worlds and is ready to make great strides and establish unparalleled achievements.

However, at a certain moment, his majestic face suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up from his throne. His gaze, like two solid golden torches, pierced through the thirty-three heavens, fixedly staring towards the direction of the Boundary Sea! He sensed it!
That vast, cold, and dark imperial might, filled with the meaning of devouring and destruction!

And another, equally supreme, yet imbued with a strange imperial might that carried a tragic, resolute, and desolate aura!
"This is... a battle between emperors?! True emperor-level beings clashing in the Boundary Sea?!"

The Emperor's voice trembled slightly, without him even realizing it!
As the Emperor Light Immortal King, he had already touched the threshold of that realm and knew better than anyone else that those two auras represented the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, which he had longed for and truly transcended the Immortal King level!

In particular, the dark imperial might, so profound and terrifying, made even the Heavenly Emperor who ruled the Immortal Realm and gathered the fortune of all worlds feel a chill in his heart!
His proud imperial radiance appeared so... insignificant and dim in the face of that pure dark emperor!

"The source of darkness... such a thing truly exists..."

Xi Huang muttered to himself, his fists clenching unconsciously until his knuckles turned white.

He had always known that darkness was terrifying, but he never imagined it would reach such a despairing level!

His ambition to establish a heavenly court seemed to have been doused with ice water at this moment.

What shook him even more was that unfamiliar Quasi-Immortal Emperor who controlled annihilation!
"Who is it? In all the heavens and myriad realms, besides the Dark Emperor, there is another Emperor? He is conquering darkness?!"

An incredulous light flashed in Xi Huang's eyes, an excitement at seeing a kindred spirit and a glimmer of hope, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper sense of powerlessness.

Even as the Heavenly Emperor, he was not qualified to participate in battles of that level!

He could only become a distant and powerless bystander, just like the immortal kings in the Boundary Sea.

This realization, like a sharp thorn, pierced deeply into his proud heart.

Not only Emperor Xi, but throughout the entire Immortal Realm, all the powerful beings who had reached the Immortal King level, such as King Pan and the Primordial Immortal King, were shocked by the Emperor War fluctuations that came from across endless time and space. They all manifested, looking solemnly at the Boundary Sea, their hearts filled with towering waves.

Meanwhile, throughout the myriad realms, in various ancient worlds, secret realms, and even some ancient ruins drifting in the sea of ​​boundaries...

In the ancient, primeval realm, deep within the tranquil bamboo forest, the Burning Lamp Immortal King holds a green lamp, its flame flickering gently, illuminating his calm and serene face.

He sighed softly, with a compassionate understanding of the world: "The war between emperors has begun, and the calamity of an era is imminent... Can the spark of hope extinguish this eternal darkness?"

In the Ancestral Nest of Ten Thousand Beasts, a sleeping Primordial Ancestral Beast opened its eyes, which were as bright as the sun and moon, and let out a deep roar, filled with awe and fighting spirit towards that destructive power.

In the Starry Sword Domain, the current Sword Master stood atop the highest sword peak, the ancient sword in his arms humming incessantly. He gazed towards the Boundary Sea, his eyes filled with longing for a higher level of swordsmanship and a sense of his own insignificance.

Meanwhile, in a chaotic ruin in the Boundary Sea, two people who were arguing over a rare divine herb also stopped what they were doing.

"Hiss... Old Tu, did you feel that? That commotion... it's damn scary!"

The fake medicine seller dropped his nonchalant expression and, unusually, became serious, subconsciously touching the several precious gourds at his waist.

The butcher remained indifferent, but the machete on his back emitted an unprecedentedly intense hum, a resonance with and... a yearning for the ultimate killing and destructive power.

His cold gaze swept in the direction from which the fluctuations originated, and he said briefly, "Emperor Realm. Very far away."

"Nonsense, of course I know it's the Emperor Realm!"

The man selling fake medicine rolled his eyes, then smacked his lips.

"However... this sense of desolation feels somewhat familiar? It's a bit like the aura emanating from that kid named Lu Xuan I encountered before, although the levels are worlds apart..."

The butcher was silent for a moment, then said, "The same path may lead to different results."

"Yes!"

The person selling counterfeit medicine suddenly slapped his thigh.

"It seems we're on the right track! As long as we push our methods to their limits, we might be able to get a glimpse of that realm! Old Tu, give it your all, or that kid Lu Xuan will beat us to it!"

The two exchanged a glance and saw in each other's eyes an even more intense fire of seeking the Dao, ignited by the Imperial War.

They stopped arguing and each found a place to sit cross-legged. They began to verify and deduce their own laws by taking advantage of the fluctuations of the Emperor's Battle Dao Rhyme that came from afar!

Throughout the myriad realms, countless ancient and newly born powerful beings are all watching this ultimate battle that will determine the future in their own ways.

The figures of the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the Azure Emperor collided and moved continuously in the Boundary Sea, like two ancient gods who created the world engaging in a world-destroying struggle.

Their battle was not merely about winning or losing; it was more like redefining the pinnacle of "power" for this boundary sea that had been silent for countless epochs, and pointing out the direction for all those who came after to witness this scene, as well as... the despairing dangers that lay ahead.

All onlookers understood that, regardless of the outcome of this battle, the格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) of all realms would be completely altered as a result.

An era that is more magnificent, and also more bloody and dark, is slowly unfolding with the roar of this imperial war.

Meanwhile, deep within the heart of the ancient Fusang tree that supports heaven and earth at the core of the Sun Star in the Immortal Realm, the chaotic energy in Lu Xuan's secluded cultivation place spun more and more rapidly, with faint sounds of the Dao echoing within it, as if the world had been created... He seemed to have reached a critical moment as well.

Ten thousand years is but a fleeting moment in the grand scheme of things.

However, for those who were closely watching that imperial war, these ten thousand years seemed incredibly long and agonizing.

The battle between the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor and the Azure Emperor continues.

Their battlefields have long since spread across the vast area of ​​the Boundary Sea. Wherever they go, stars are extinguished, ancient realms turn to dust, leaving behind countless shocking traces of destruction.

The auras of both emperors have noticeably diminished compared to ten thousand years ago.

The Cang Emperor's blurry dark body was no longer as solid as it had been at the beginning, and the dark essence surrounding him had also thinned considerably.

Clearly, it suffered enormous consumption and damage under the nameless Quasi-Immortal Emperor's Dao of Annihilation, which contained the hatred of all living beings and was incomparably fierce.
