The great battle continued, blood rain flying everywhere. Countless living beings were slain, including Zhao Feng and all the other trial-takers who were gradually killed and then completely teleported out of the World Tower Trial. In the end, only Ye Chen remained.
He was alone, a single trial-taker, left solitary within the World Tower Trial world. It was as if he had truly traversed the river of time, flowing upstream to return to the final days of the Mythical Epoch.
Within the endless army resisting the alien race invasion, Ye Chen became one of them, battling alien race young supremes, confronting alien race Imperial Sons, fighting amidst countless alien race troops. Together with the many powerhouses of the Sealed Boundary Universe, he charged to the very end, striving to protect the myriad living beings of the Sealed Boundary Universe.
The so-called great confrontation between the young supremes of the two Ancient Universes was but brief, for this was the battle of the Mythical Great Destruction, its scope vast, involving participants from the lowest Houtian and Xiantian Saint Spirits to the supreme Emperors.
The many young supremes were merely one part of the combatants. The fighting was fierce, but they could not truly influence the overall course of the war.
Ancient Great Sages piloted ferocious beasts, galloping across the battlefield, slaughtering amidst the armies.
In the heavens, countless powerhouses fell, and an untold number were utterly destroyed, leaving no whole corpse behind.
The two Ancient Monarchs from the Ancient Universes who had soared into the firmament to confront each other returned, each side suffering casualties. Yet, the alien race universe clearly held the advantage. Some Sovereigns of the Sealed Boundary Universe had fallen, their blood light erupting to the heavens, flooding the vast starry sky. Countless stars shattered, transforming into a region of eternal silence.
"Father!"
A Great Power wailed in grief; the fallen Ancient Monarch was his father. But there was no time for sorrow now, for this was a battle for the very survival of the Sealed Boundary Universe, not merely individual life and death.
He soared into the sky, piloting a war chariot, leading a terrifying legion, and charged towards the alien race, engaging in a desperate assault regardless of cost.
In the end, his utterly shattered form was seen, a torrent of blood light that burned fiercely, annihilating even an ancient Great Sage of the alien race...
This was but one corner of the Mythical Great Destruction battle, for such scenes were far too many. Whether it was the destruction of ancient Great Sages, the broken bodies of true dragons that once soared through the Nine Heavens falling in several segments, or the eternal flames of the undying phoenix finally extinguishing and vanishing into the distant reaches of the universe, or the disintegrated and shattered bodies of starry sky behemoths scattering across heaven and earth...
Far, far too many. In this life-and-death battle of the Ancient Universe, no one could transcend. Emperors were fighting, and even Ancient Monarchs could not escape the fate of falling, let alone others, other living beings. At this moment, they could only fight with their backs to the water, resisting with all their might.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Ye Chen's eyes were completely bloodshot, deeply infected by the atmosphere of the apocalypse. He slew one alien race being after another, striking up to the Nine Heavens, destroying down to the Nine Netherworlds, sweeping across all directions, battling throughout the cosmos.
He killed an untold number of alien race beings, slew alien race young supremes, grievously wounded opposing alien race Imperial Sons, and was himself shattered to pieces several times. Yet, under his Sacred Body Regeneration Art, he possessed a tenacious vitality that was nearly undying and indestructible.
Countless points of light entered his body, and finally, the dazzling seven-colored radiance strangely turned inward and vanished.
However, Ye Chen had long forgotten all this, for he personally witnessed the beings of the Sealed Boundary Universe around him fall one by one, and saw the young supremes who had fought alongside him not long ago wither away.
He saw the beautiful Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Immortal wither, her entire body transforming into a clan of blazing radiance, like a celestial flower blooming to its utmost beauty, then withering. In the end, her heart-wrenchingly beautiful face, etched with unwillingness and powerlessness, was deeply imprinted in his mind, unforgettable.
For she was a Fairy who had once fought side by side with him, also a young supreme, who had helped him block a fatal attack.
He saw the young supreme from the Battle Saint lineage, whom he regarded as a true brother, step forward to block a world-destroying demonic spear thrown by a supremely powerful alien race Great Power. Yet, he himself was completely pierced through. The killing intent and law power contained within the demonic spear utterly shredded his soul, destroying both form and spirit. Yet, he gave Ye Chen a brilliant smile, having no regrets about blocking that spear.
It made Ye Chen wail and shed tears, the droplets of his tears being blood.
He saw the young supreme Xu Fei, playfully nicknamed Ah Fei, with a very ordinary face that seemed like that of the common masses, yet was sharp to the extreme. He burned himself, dragging an alien race young supreme along into eternal silence, and also annihilated five alien race Heavenly Kings.
He also saw an Imperial Son who, faced with the great battle, gave up the chance to slumber until the future to become an Emperor. He burned his own Emperor's bloodline, awakening his potential to the absolute limit, dragging three ancient Great Sages of the alien race along into eternal silence...
The young supremes who had once fought alongside him withered and fell, one by one.
Ye Chen witnessed far, far too many tragic scenes.
This was a sorrowful end of an epoch, the apocalypse of the Sealed Boundary Universe, the Great Destruction of the Mythical Epoch, the end of everything.
Far, far too many living beings of the Sealed Boundary Universe fell, dropping from the heavens. The boundless earth was completely dyed red by endless blood, forming a sea of blood.
This once supremely prosperous Mythical Epoch had completely become the past.
The suns in the heavens extinguished one by one.
He looked up towards the extreme heights of the firmament. Boundless light exploded, illuminating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, illuminating the entire Sealed Boundary Universe. Yet, it also seemed as if a dearest kin had departed. Ye Chen felt a wave of sorrow spontaneously welling up from his heart.
There, a great amount of snowflakes danced, yet they were not white, but a mournfully brilliant blood-red, as if dyed by blood. A shrill, mournful cry descended from the highest point of the heavens—it was the weeping of the heavens.
The earth trembled and shook, as if in grief—it was the sorrow of the earth!
Heaven wept, earth grieved!
A Great Emperor had fallen!
An Emperor of the Sealed Boundary Universe had fallen, perishing to protect the myriad living beings. Heaven and earth manifested strange phenomena. All living beings within this universe felt grief, sorrow arising in their hearts.
Ye Chen's eyes had long dried up, without tears. He watched all this silently, wordlessly. Everything was about to conclude.
The battle of the Mythical Great Destruction proceeded according to the trajectory of history. Yet, Ye Chen's heart was filled with grief. He desperately wanted to change all this but was powerless.
He hated his own powerlessness, his inability to change anything.
The blood-stained future, the destroyed Mythical Epoch—this Sealed Boundary Universe was filled with endless calamity, making Ye Chen feel immense pressure. Yet, everything was pale and powerless.
Ye Chen let out a long roar. He did not fall in this battle; he survived, among the few survivors on the side of the Sealed Boundary Universe.
However, even more powerhouses from the alien race army charged over, rolling and crushing forward, completely breaking through all defenses to invade the Sealed Boundary Universe.
"Ah—"
Ye Chen's roar shook the surroundings. He soared into the sky, only remembering that his entire being burned, transforming into a mass of chaotic light. He charged towards an alien race Sovereign, exploded, and then everything concluded...
