Since he couldn't defeat him, he had to run!
The Heavenly Darkness God turned around and rapidly dashed into the distance. He unleashed all of his power to propel his body, and he streaked across countless planes and dimensions like a comet toward the end of the world.
The Ancient War Lord gripped his saber and gazed at the Heavenly Darkness God as he disappeared into the distance. He chuckled softly and said, "The twelve worlds outside the Ancient World were all created by me. Where can you escape to in my world?"
He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared.
"Too powerful! How can he be so ridiculously powerful?!"
The Heavenly Darkness God flew past countless uninhabited planes, each of which had different living beings and races. He didn't linger in the slightest, and he continued to flee madly.
"Back then, he was severely wounded by the Ancient God, and his divine saber was even destroyed. Just how powerful was that Ancient God?!"
The Heavenly Darkness God felt his scalp go numb. "Monsters! They're practically two monsters! How can there be such powerful beings in this world? Moreover, there are two of them!"
He was so furious that he almost went berserk.
Right at this moment, a wave of light flashed through the void before him, and a youth in golden armor slowly appeared. He tilted his head and looked at him with a smile. "Your speed is a bit faster than I expected. I initially thought that I'd have to wait for you for a while …"
The Heavenly Darkness God's pupils abruptly contracted, and his body came to an abrupt halt as he stared at the Ancient War Lord in fear. "How is this possible? I possess the divine seal of Heavenly God Divine Wind, and there's no one in this world who can be faster than me!"
"This world originally belonged to me. Wherever I wanted to go, I only needed to take a single step."
The Ancient War Lord smiled faintly. "Give up. With your strength, there's no hope. Petty resistance will only bring about an even more painful price."
Despair flashed through the Heavenly Darkness God's heart, and he glared furiously at the Ancient War Lord. "Although I can't kill you, if you force me into a corner, I'll seriously injure you even if I have to self-destruct. At that time, the Ancient God will still be here, and you'll be evenly matched. You'll undoubtedly die in your severely wounded state!"
"Sure, you can try."
The Ancient War Lord chuckled as he looked at the Heavenly Darkness God. "I also want to test the might of my civilization armor on your body."
Only now did the Heavenly Darkness God notice the golden armor on his body. There were numerous symbols that resembled floating rays of light engraved on the surface of the dazzling golden armor. These symbols radiated brilliantly as they circled around the armor, forming a natural protective barrier.
"Do you think that a mere piece of armor can withstand the might of my self-detonation?" the Heavenly Darkness God asked with a cold expression.
"You'll know once you give it a try." The Ancient War Reverend smiled, "Make your move then."
This was the first time he had been looked down upon like this, and the fury in the Heavenly Darkness God's chest surged like flames. He took a deep breath, and said, "Fine, very fine, I'll do as you wish!"
Cold light shot out from his eyes. His aura quickly rose to the peak. Nine different colored God Seals appeared on his glabella. They looked like the precious jewels on the side of a noble crown, circling his hair.
These nine different colored God Seals slowly intertwined and started to spin like a hurricane, becoming difficult to see clearly. At the same time, a supremely powerful power slowly awakened within his body like a ferocious beast that had awakened. An earth-shattering power flowed through his pores and hair, pervading heaven and earth. Multiple cracks even appeared in the sky of this dimensional void.
"The dignity of a divine being cannot be blasphemed!" There was a hint of madness in the Heavenly Darkness God's eyes, and he roared, "Die!" His body continued to expand, and in the end, his chest bulged like a balloon as he shot toward the Ancient War Lord.
At the instant when he was several dozen kilometers away —
Boom!
The Heavenly Darkness God's entire body suddenly exploded, and a devastating power swept out. It was as if heaven and earth were in the midst of destruction. The sky was evaporated and collapsed, transforming into a vast expanse of turbid air. The plants and stones on the ground all disappeared, transforming into a void.
At the center of this devastating shockwave, there was a ball of faint white light that enveloped an almost transparent figure. This figure quietly stood at the center of the explosion.
After an indeterminate amount of time, this devastating shockwave finally stopped. The surrounding dimensional void had completely collapsed.
As the energy storm disappeared, the Ancient War Lord's figure slowly appeared. A faint white light flickered on his golden armor, and the civilization symbols that were engraved on it were like tiny divine dragons that coiled around his armor. Meanwhile, the Ancient War Lord's hair was slightly messy, and the clothes beneath his armor were slightly wrinkled and damaged. Apart from this, he actually didn't suffer much damage.
"As expected of the civilization armor."
A joyful smile appeared on the Ancient War Lord's face. "The power of civilization is indeed the strongest. It is formed from the accumulation of the faith and wisdom of countless living beings. After countless years of evolution, as well as the baptism of the seven emotions and six desires, the power that is finally born can't be replicated!"
He swept his gaze around.
His surroundings had completely transformed into nothingness. Even the sky and earth had disappeared.
"How cunning …" The Ancient War Lord suddenly smiled. His figure flashed, and he disappeared.
In a corner of the Ancient World, a speck of black light slowly appeared in the vast void. This speck of black light was unremarkable in the starry sky, and it was so tiny that it was almost negligible.
After it appeared, it immediately shot toward a hidden and uninhabited star realm.
Hum ~
The void in front of him suddenly opened, and the Ancient War Lord's figure walked out. He tilted his head and looked at the speck of black light. "I knew that you wouldn't self-destruct so easily. It's a pity that this world is mine. No matter where you go, I'll be able to find you. Don't think that just because this is my base, I won't expect you to appear here and not check it out."
The speck of black light shrunk extremely small, as if it was afraid and trembling.
The Ancient War Lord gently smiled. With a wave of his hand, the speck of black light was caught in front of him like a spark, landing in his palm.
"Back then, I created all of you. Now, I'm taking it back." The Ancient War Lord smiled and opened his mouth, swallowing the speck of black light.
Whoosh!
A white light suddenly flashed past, snatching the speck of black light from his hand.
The Ancient War Lord's expression changed. He raised his head and saw a slender youth standing in the void. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his handsome face carried a faint sadness. He held a wine jug in his hand, standing there as if he was drunk. His eyes were looking into the distance, and his hand was holding onto the speck of black light that he had snatched from the Ancient War Lord.
"Fourth Emperor!" The Ancient War Lord's eyes turned cold. "Why aren't you staying in the Ancient World Peak? What are you doing here?"
Ye Chen, who had transformed into a blade, was secretly shocked. He did not expect that the youth in front of him, who looked a little down and out, was actually the Fourth Emperor that he had seen at the entrance of the Ancient World Peak. He was the founder of the spiritual civilization, and also the ancestor of his reincarnation!
"That's right. Why aren't you staying in your Ancient Shrine? What are you doing here?" The Fourth Emperor shook his head and chanted leisurely.
Anger flashed across the Ancient War Lord's eyes. "Back then, I bestowed the Xuan World to you and saw you as the human that I admired the most. Now, you want to betray me?"
"The Xuan World was not bestowed by you. It was bestowed by the Ancient World. Everything inside is controlled by me. Although it's soil that was cut out from your world, the primordial spirit of the world inside is my own, not yours."
The Fourth Emperor smiled. "To be able to obtain your admiration, I'm really happy. If a person can make his opponent admire him, it's definitely a great success!"
The Ancient War Lord narrowed his eyes. "So, you want to betray me? Very good. Back then, I saw that you had a rebellious streak. I didn't expect it to be so. However, with your little strength, I'm afraid you're still too far away. Ask your master, the Ancient God, to come here personally!"
The Fourth Emperor smiled. "It's not time for a big battle yet. My master is conserving his strength and doesn't have the time now. Moreover, he's not someone that I can call."
The Ancient War Lord's eyes flashed coldly. "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you now?"
"If I didn't have the ability to escape, I would really be quite afraid."
The Fourth Emperor rubbed his chin, and there was a smile in his eyes. "Unfortunately, if you don't use your true strength, it'll be very difficult to kill me. If my death can be exchanged for your true strength, then it'll be worth it. At least it'll increase my master's chances of defeating you."
The Ancient War Lord stared at him for a while, then said, "Very good. However, you've forgotten that the Heavenly Darkness God in your hands is a combination of nine gods. His abilities aren't much inferior to mine. Even I will die by my hands. To deal with you, I don't necessarily need to use my true strength." As he said this, his figure suddenly flashed, and a streak of saber light slashed toward the Fourth Emperor.
The Fourth Emperor's expression became serious. His figure flashed, and his hands spun like a taiji. He slowly slapped out six palms, bringing about afterimages that filled the sky. It was as if there were millions of palms overlapping each other, and they met the resplendent saber light head-on.
Peng!
With a muffled groan, the Fourth Emperor retreated a few steps, and a shocking battle intent appeared in his eyes. "As expected of the number one divine blade, its power is indeed peerless!"
With a swipe of his palm, the void behind him was instantly torn open, revealing the background of the universe where Earth was. The resplendent starry sky was like a profound diagram.
"You can't leave!"
The Ancient War Lord's ice-cold voice sounded as if it came from hell. The surrounding void was instantly imprisoned, and even the void that had been sliced open was instantly sealed. It was sealed like an iron plate, and not a single crack was left.
The Fourth Emperor's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the Ancient War Lord. "Aren't you afraid that you'll exhaust too much energy and lose when you battle with my master?"
The Ancient War Lord sneered, and said, "How can you imagine the current me?
After I devour the Heavenly Darkness God's power, I'll completely recover to my peak state. Not to mention your master, even if the elites of the Ancient Realm come, they'll be buried in my hands! "
A bright light appeared in the Fourth Emperor's eyes, and he retreated rapidly. Brilliant light shot out from his hands, and they shot toward the surrounding void. He frantically tore through the spatial barrier, wanting to connect to the spatial connection point of the Xuan Realm.
As long as he entered the Xuan Realm, he would be absolutely safe.
However, the Ancient War Lord's seal was abnormally sturdy. No matter how he attacked, it didn't budge at all.
"You can accompany the Heavenly Darkness God in death!"
A cold light appeared in the Ancient War Lord's eyes, and he waved the divine blade in his hand. A chaotic yet sharp saber aura swept out, crisscrossing toward the Fourth Emperor.
