Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The void was slowly sliced open, and several figures emerged from it. The Heavenly Darkness God had his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed coldly at Ye Chen. "Do you think that you'll be able to contend against us after merely 100,000 years?"
"Make your move," Ye Chen said coldly.
A hint of anger flashed through the Heavenly Darkness God's eyes, and he quickly raised his hand. Five divine seals that glowed with different glows hovered before him. These divine seals communicated with a mysterious energy that caused the surrounding void to ripple.
Upon sensing this supreme power, Ye Chen's heart was filled with a surging battle intent. His gaze was like lightning, and black flames surged out from his skin like smoke and enveloped his body. His black hair danced wildly in the wind, and the vague projection of a domineering saber appeared behind him.
"Five Emperors Ultimate Strike!"
The Heavenly Darkness God roared as he pushed his hand forward like a Taiji diagram, causing the surrounding air to surge out like boiling water. The void was rolled up like a carpet as it hurtled toward Ye Chen.
The five divine seals transformed into five tiny flying daggers that flickered in and out of existence as they shot toward Ye Chen.
"Humph!"
There was a hint of arrogance in Ye Chen's eyes, and he made a grabbing motion with his hand. An illusory saber projection materialized in his palm and enveloped the five tiny flying daggers.
"Silent Destruction!"
The illusory saber projection instantly became solid, and it was as if it were a shooting star. Although it was simple and brief, the beauty and grace that erupted in that instant was enough to become eternal!
Peng, peng, peng, peng …
As if they had collided with a wall, the five tiny flying daggers were knocked back by a tremendous force and hurtled toward the Heavenly Darkness God.
The Heavenly Darkness God groaned as a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He had to gather all of his spiritual power to control the flying daggers, and they transformed back into balls of light.
The Heavenly Light Goddess, Heavenly Earth God, and the others all frowned upon seeing this. They didn't think that the Heavenly Darkness God, who possessed five divine seals, would be defeated by Ye Chen in a single exchange. Sure enough, the legendary number one divine tool of heaven and earth was extraordinary.
They all looked at each other and nodded slightly. With the Heavenly Light Goddess taking the lead, they all raised their heads and started to chant an ancient and mysterious incantation. "The freedom of belief, the other shore of reincarnation, the end of the world, please strip me of my divine seal and summon the ancient True Gods back. Forbidden — Divine Descent!"
This incantation that had disappeared in the river of time was never known by anyone. At this moment, it was slowly being chanted by the deities. Dazzling and resplendent radiance emerged from their bodies. Their bodies seemed to have transformed into a ray of light. Only their vague silhouettes could be seen. As for their faces, they were blurry.
The Heavenly Darkness God panted slightly, and when he raised his head to look at them, his eyes flashed with light. He took a deep breath, and then coldly glared at Ye Chen. The fury in his eyes had disappeared, and it had become as indifferent and noble as ice. It was as if he had instantly transformed into a True God that was above the Nine Heavens. He looked down on all living beings, and nothing was worthy of his attention.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The bodies of the Heavenly Light Goddess, Heavenly Wind God, Heavenly Earth God, and the other Heavenly Gods instantly shrank toward their chests. They transformed into specks of white light that shot into the Heavenly Darkness God's body like comets.
With every speck of white light that shot into his body, the aura around the Heavenly Darkness God's body would strengthen slightly. It was only when all the specks of white light had entered his body that the entire world suddenly fell silent.
Time suddenly stopped.
Rumble ~ ~
Several seconds later, an earth-shattering rumble that resembled the howling of mountains and the shattering of the earth traveled out from the Heavenly Darkness God's body. He slowly raised his head, and various colors of red, white, black, and green flashed across his face. Two golden pillars of light shot out from his eyes, and a supremely powerful aura erupted from his body.
A power that hadn't been possessed even in the Primordial Era had descended upon this world at this moment. No one knew just how powerful this power would be when the nine gods fused into one.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. The saber intent within his body seemed to be buzzing. It was actually affected by the aura released by the Heavenly Darkness God. This was a situation that he had only encountered when facing the Ancient War Lord and Ancient Gods. The Heavenly Darkness God before him was probably no weaker than an Ancient God.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed, and he suddenly turned around and rapidly retreated. His body flashed past like a swallow, weaving through the void of different dimensions.
"You won't be able to escape."
The Heavenly Darkness God's domineering voice traveled over from behind him. "You're too arrogant. If you chose to flee when I fused with my body, perhaps you'd still have a chance. However, you won't have a chance now!"
Boom!
Heaven and earth churned, and all space-time was instantly sealed. It was as if a barrier had formed, enveloping Ye Chen within. Even the space-time passageway was closed.
Ye Chen was secretly astonished. "Controlling everything and controlling the space-time passageway of the past and the future … To think that this legendary cultivation level really exists! Even the Ancient Gods didn't use such techniques when they battled in the past. Could it be that he has already surpassed the Ancient Gods?"
Just as Ye Chen was feeling astonished, the Heavenly Darkness God was like a divine being. His body instantly became as tall as a mountain, and he reached out to grab Ye Chen.
"Die!"
The Heavenly Darkness God's maniacal laughter traveled over. "I didn't think that the fusion of nine gods would actually possess such power. This has far exceeded my expectations. Even if I didn't need you, the Ancient Gods and Ancient War Lords wouldn't be a match for me!"
"Is that so?"
An indifferent voice suddenly traveled over from beyond the heavens. It was as if a supreme being from the nine heavens was speaking in a low voice. Immediately afterward, a burst of shattered black light suddenly exploded in the void behind Ye Chen. A man clad in golden armor slowly walked out from within.
His black hair cascaded elegantly over his shoulders. He had a handsome face and eyes that were as dazzling as the starry sky. Moreover, he wore a suit of armor that was inscribed with 3,000 Innate Talismans of Civilization. Who else could this be but the Ancient War Lord?
The Ancient War Lord, who had suddenly arrived, stood behind Ye Chen with a smile on his face. He chuckled softly as he looked at the Heavenly Darkness God. "I've long since predicted that you wouldn't truly die back then. You were all created by me. As long as I don't die, you'll all have eternal life. I didn't think that you'd have already grown to such a level."
The Heavenly Darkness God's expression changed, and he asked darkly, "Why have you appeared here?"
"Don't forget that I can sense everything. Since you've sealed off space-time here, I'm naturally able to sense it. Furthermore, the only person in this world who can force you to seal off space-time is Xiao Dao."
The Ancient War Lord chuckled softly. "Coincidentally, the Ancient Gods have already been reborn some time ago. Moreover, they've also found their shattered body, as well as the embodiment of the Great Dao of Mount. Before battling them, I'll use you as a warm-up."
The Heavenly Darkness God's expression changed, and his expression became cold as he said, "Now, I've already fused nine gods into one. My cultivation level isn't something that you can imagine. Since you've come here today, don't think of leaving!"
As he spoke, he grabbed out with his hand, and the void around them was completely sealed. An almost primitive power burst forth from his body, causing a destructive power to envelop the Ancient War Lord and Ye Chen.
"Xiao Dao."
The Ancient War Lord raised his head to look at the black hand that blotted out the sky. His expression was calm, and he clasped his hands behind his back. He slowly said, "Do you still remember when we battled the Ancient Gods and slaughtered all living beings all those years ago?"
Ye Chen stood behind him, his brows slightly furrowed.
Those crazy yet glorious days of the past were etched into his bones. How could he forget?
"After countless eras, at the end of fate, let's have a hearty battle again today!"
Soaring battle intent erupted from the Ancient War Lord's body, and the surging energy instantly didn't lose out to the Heavenly Darkness God in the slightest. In fact, it even surpassed the latter.
Ye Chen felt as if his blood was boiling.
He raised his head to the sky and roared. His entire body transformed into an almost transparent ice blade that released a loud buzzing sound. Then, it automatically flew toward the Ancient War Lord's hand.
The Ancient War Lord gripped the hilt of the ice blade and lowered his head to look at the gleaming blade. He murmured, "Battled the Ancient Gods and slaughtered all living beings. Since you've actually done so, let the blood of the gods be drunk by you once again!"
Weng ~
The blade hummed as if it was responding to the Ancient War Lord.
"Alright!"
A brilliant light blossomed in the Ancient War Lord's eyes, and he suddenly raised his head to look. He saw that the Heavenly Darkness God's sky-blotting palm had already descended. The primitive power that had gathered at the center of the palm formed a powerful magnetic field that destroyed everything.
Pu!
A brilliant and dazzling saber light, as if it were the first light of dawn, slashed across the fingers of the black palm.
The fingers instantly snapped like stalagmites. The sharp saber light was like a scythe that slashed through the air countless times, slicing the entire black palm into countless pieces.
Meanwhile, the Ancient War Lord merely stood silently in the void. He held the saber horizontally in his hand, and it was as if he hadn't moved at all.
No one had been able to clearly see the speed of his attack. However, that attack had already surpassed the speed of light by countless times. It had surpassed the Regulations of this universe!
The Heavenly Darkness God roared, and his palm reformed. However, his eyes were filled with shock and fury. Firstly, he was shocked by Ye Chen's sharpness. Secondly, he was shocked by the Ancient War Lord's powerful strength.
He hadn't thought that after fusing the divine seals of nine Heavenly Gods, his own power would still be inferior to the Ancient War Lord even after reaching a whole new level!
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
The Heavenly Darkness God roared as he smashed a fist toward the Heavenly Darkness God. Nine streaks of light flashed from his fist and surged toward the Heavenly Darkness God. As they spun, they formed a small and exquisite shield.
The Ancient War Lord smiled faintly as he watched on. "You've got some skills."
His figure retreated slightly, elegantly dodging the spinning attack of this exquisite shield. Then, his body floated into the air like a feather. The saber in his hand suddenly slashed out like a bolt of lightning, slashing at the Heavenly Darkness God's wrist. Saber Qi surged out like white waves, severing the Heavenly Darkness God's massive wrist!
The Heavenly Darkness God was shocked and furious. He finally experienced the predicament that the Ancient Gods had faced when facing the Ancient War Lord all those years ago. In battle, the Ancient War Lord didn't need to expend much power. He only needed to rely on Ye Chen's sharpness to easily gain the upper hand.
In this kind of situation, only long-range attacks would be effective.
However, when one's cultivation reached their level, there was no longer any limit to distance. Regardless of whether it was the Ancient Gods or the Ancient War Lord himself, they were all proficient in close combat. Thus, the saber-wielding Ancient War Lord was practically invincible. He could easily defeat opponents of the same cultivation level.
…
Incidentally, the speed at which I was updating was very bad previously. I was entangled with many things, and I really couldn't leave. I was also very depressed, and I would write very late every day. Recently, I had finally settled everything, so there shouldn't be any unexpected situations.
During this period of time, I was very embarrassed, and I didn't dare to look at the book reviews and chat groups. Today, I woke up early and looked around. I discovered that there were still many friends who were supporting me. Instantly, hot tears filled my eyes. I was really touched, and I was also very grateful. I thank everyone for their support, and I also thank the many brothers who had followed me since the storm and continued to support me.
I've really let you guys down.
There's also one more thing. Previously, the Heavenly Darkness God had prepared to end this long ago. However, there were simply too many plots, so I had to write until now. Now that I've returned to my normal state and everything has stabilized, I'll be updating two chapters a day from today onwards.
I had originally planned to add another chapter today, but I've just resumed my daily routine, and my mind is still very muddled. If there are no accidents, I'll postpone the third chapter to tomorrow.
(To be continued.)
