Tai Sheng Huang displayed world-shocking methods, evolving chaos to an unprecedented height.
Boom—
Visible to the naked eye, within the ancient chaos qi, one after another resplendent great worlds evolved, each a truly enduring great world. Within them, heaven and earth were created, containing vast mountains, rivers, and lands, expansive starry skies, and myriads of stars...
Perfectly manifesting all the profound mysteries of chaos, its supremacy was beyond measure.
Tai Sheng Huang pushed all these great worlds outward, launching a comprehensive assault on the Emperor's Corpse opposite him. Each great world exploded, accompanied by boundless destructive power, aiming to completely bury the heavens and shatter everything.
This was the truly unparalleled combat power of an Emperor.
All who witnessed it were profoundly shaken in their hearts. This was the most terrifying aspect of chaos, especially in the hands of Tai Sheng Huang, who was utterly fearsome. He effortlessly created thousands of great worlds, his understanding of chaos reaching an unimaginably profound level.
No wonder he was hailed as the Emperor closest to the Great Dao of Chaos throughout the ages. This claim was not without reason.
Ye Chen was currently viewing the battle through Tai Sheng Huang's perspective, making it even more awe-inspiring.
This was also intentional on Tai Sheng Huang's part—to demonstrate the supreme mysteries of true chaos to him, allowing for better comprehension and digestion.
Ye Chen watched with rapt attention, not daring to blink, unwilling to miss a single moment. For each moment represented a transformation of chaos, absolutely not to be missed.
The myriad heavens and worlds were manifested and pushed by Tai Sheng Huang toward the other end of the River of Time, attacking the Emperor's Corpse, causing the most terrifying explosion that stirred the River of Time, its impact immeasurably vast.
The Emperor's Corpse's expression changed drastically. Deeply aware of Tai Sheng Huang's supreme methods, it dared not be careless. It fiercely maneuvered the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin through the air.
That Nine-Layered Divine Coffin could bury everything, capable of devouring the heavens, swallowing the destructive power of countless great worlds. However, it could not transform it into vast divine energy to replenish itself. Instead, wounds appeared on the Emperor's Corpse's body, oozing foul black blood that stained the heavens.
Tai Sheng Huang, who had once slain this Emperor's Corpse, naturally knew how to deal with the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. How could the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin devour Tai Sheng Huang's divine energy to allow the Emperor's Corpse to truly recover?
Tai Sheng Huang took the initiative, striding forth to attack the Emperor's Corpse, manifesting the mysteries of chaos to an unimaginable height. Great worlds of the heavens continuously emerged, chaos surged to strike the sky, attacking amidst great destruction.
Moreover, chaos was peerless, capable of dissolving all laws and Great Daos of the world, returning everything to its source. That was the most supreme, peerless method; even supreme Emperor's laws would be decomposed.
The Emperor's Corpse roared, its withered yellow hair dancing wildly. Each strand represented a Great Dao, drawing upon the source power of the myriad worlds. It also harnessed the boiling Emperor's Corpse Qi to strike across the sky, clashing with Tai Sheng Huang.
The Emperor's battle was destined to shake the past and illuminate the present. In the cosmic starry sky, countless powerhouses witnessed the appearance of the River of Time from afar and saw the true battle between the two Emperors, truly witnessing the supreme, invincible power of an Emperor, truly shaking the past and illuminating the present, an immense terror.
The two Emperors stood within the spatial dimension where the River of Time existed, traversing past and present, continuously engaging in combat, knocking down and completely burying and shattering stars in that special realm.
The disparity soon became apparent. Tai Sheng Huang was truly invincible. Even though it was merely a projection residing within Ye Chen, that invincible Emperor's majesty remained unchanged from the past. Chaos altered everything, impervious to all laws. The opponent's Emperor's Corpse Qi could annihilate the myriad heavens and worlds, yet it could hardly inflict any effective damage on Tai Sheng Huang.
Chaos being peerless was not just empty talk, especially at Tai Sheng Huang's level. It was impervious to all laws, immune to all evils, capable of dissolving all laws; even supreme Emperor's laws would be dissolved and annihilated.
The battle between the two Emperors shook the past and illuminated the present, startling all sides of the great universe, with radiance soaring to the heavens.
However, the Emperor's Corpse was constantly at a disadvantage, utterly unable to harm its opponent. All its attacks were dismantled, unable to achieve the intended effect. Filled with unwillingness, it roared continuously, shaking down stars that fell upon the River of Time, majestic and boundless, yet carrying a deep sense of helplessness.
Perfecting the Great Dao of Chaos could ultimately lead to transcendence and eternal life. This notion might indeed eventually become reality.
The Emperor's Corpse constantly relied on the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, its Emperor's Corpse Qi overwhelming, also reviving various supreme Dao laws from its lifetime, manifesting the myriad Daos of the heavens to resist Tai Sheng Huang. It strode forward, attacking beyond the heavens.
This was its only asset. Although Tai Sheng Huang was powerful, the projection resided in a young Supreme One who was not even at the Great Power level. And it, even as a scarred Emperor's Corpse, far surpassed the other.
A close-quarters battle might carve out a true future.
However, Tai Sheng Huang had long been prepared, reviving two supreme Emperor's weapons, both in a state of perfect revival. The Emperor's majesty surged to strike the heavens; the River of Time seemed about to be completely torn apart, countless alternate dimensions shattered, burying everything.
The two supreme Emperor's weapons became beams of light, defending the only weakness seamlessly. Even if the Emperor's Corpse got close, it was helpless.
Moreover, it looked warily at the two supreme Emperor's weapons. Supreme Emperor's weapons in a state of perfect revival absolutely had the qualification to harm an Emperor's body, let alone a withered Emperor's Corpse; it dared not confront them head-on.
"Be suppressed!"
Tai Sheng Huang was the most powerful, that might completely surpassing everything above, with nothing able to block it.
Boom—
Not even the Emperor's Corpse could withstand it. Struck, it fell upon the River of Time, hit by powerful temporal force that seemed to completely annihilate and shatter everything, diminishing some of its essence, spirit, and energy.
"Ah—"
The Emperor's Corpse roared, wanting to struggle, but Tai Sheng Huang placed a hand down. There, chaos surged as if summoning a boundless Chaos Sea, completely pressing the Emperor's Corpse onto the River of Time, making it difficult to truly break free, allowing the torrential force of time to continuously wash over it.
And it was clearly felt that the Emperor's Corpse's aura gradually weakened.
The reason Emperors feared not the erosion of time was their perfect form and spirit; the myriad Daos of the heavens had to submit, and temporal force was helpless.
But the Emperor's Corpse retained only a scarred Emperor's body, with Emperor's Resentment taking control. After all, it was not the former Emperor's soul, not perfect, unable to resist the erosion of time, thus weakening.
In the long run, perhaps the Emperor's Resentment would be completely severed by the River of Time, leaving only a damaged Emperor's Corpse.
"Tai Sheng Huang, you cannot do this!"
The Emperor's Corpse roared within the River of Time, its Emperor's Corpse Qi peerless, vast and mighty, shaking the River of Time, actually attempting to influence past and present spacetime, forcibly changing everything.
Under normal circumstances, the Emperor's Corpse would absolutely be wary, as this would attract the most terrifying forbidden immortal lightning. After all, it was not an Emperor in a perfect state and would suffer extremely terrible backlash, possibly even completely burying itself.
But now it could not afford to care, because if it did not act this way, Tai Sheng Huang would strike again, slaying it, facing the same fate of body death and Dao dissipation. Better to gamble now, perhaps seeking a sliver of life.
"Great Emperor Jia Ye, though you were an Emperor in the past, you lacked the broad-mindedness of one. Committing countless evils, devouring billions of living beings to achieve the Dao, this Emperor had no choice but to suppress and slay you, nailing your corpse upon the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin precisely to prevent your revival, letting you fade into silence within time. Never did I expect you to eventually give birth to Emperor's Resentment and also revive, intending to retread the old path, devouring the myriad beings of the heavens to restore your peak Emperor status. Now you even go so far as to disrupt past and present spacetime at all costs."
"However, with this Emperor here today, your wish shall not come true. Today, I shall completely slay you, annihilating both form and spirit."
Tai Sheng Huang, wearing the nine-colored mythical crown upon his head, this immortal divine crown forged from nine-colored Chaos Immortal Gold, now shone with the most blazing radiance throughout the ages, boiling with unparalleled might, causing Tai Sheng Huang's power to instantly surge by a large margin, a terror beyond imagination.
Boom—
The Nine Spirit Diagram, Flame Emperor Divine Furnace, and Primordial Great Halberd all charged onto the River of Time, completely restraining and comprehensively suppressing the Emperor's Corpse.
This was the true strongest Emperor. Even a projection was supreme and unparalleled, not something an Emperor's Corpse controlled by Emperor's Resentment could compare to. Suppressed, even its Emperor's Corpse Qi could not sweep out, completely confined within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, utterly unable to struggle free.
"Great Emperor Jia Ye, so it was him!"
Upon hearing this, all the powerhouses of the heavens sighed softly.
Great Emperor Jia Ye, a name that sounded supremely noble, relatively close to the Dao, yet he was one of the most brutal Emperor Supreme Ones throughout history, sweeping through the myriad beings of the heavens, extremely brutal, once bathing half an ancient universe in blood, thereby achieving the status of a generation's supreme Emperor, his fearsome reputation shaking the entire Chaos Sea.
In his time, within the Chaos Sea, he had bathed many chaos great worlds in blood, incurring the wrath of heaven and resentment of people. Yet as an Emperor, supreme and unparalleled, comparable to the Heavenly Dao, billions of living beings in the Chaos Sea dared to be angry but not speak out.
Later, he was confronted by a generation's Tai Sheng Huang, suppressed and slain with overwhelming force, fading into silence within the Chaos Sea.
It was also that battle that earned Tai Sheng Huang the title of strongest Emperor, having slain a generation's supreme Emperor, peerless throughout the ages.
Speaking of which, Great Emperor Jia Ye was truly unfortunate. After endless ages, he gave birth to a strand of Emperor's Resentment, possessing part of Great Emperor Jia Ye's Emperor soul obsession, finally reviving, yet now facing the same opponent again, destined to be suppressed and slain once more, considered the most tragic Emperor.
"Swords, come!"
Tai Sheng Huang lightly called.
Swish, swish, swish—
Nine-colored immortal light broke through the boundaries of spacetime, instantly charging into the spatial dimension where the River of Time existed. They were nine Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Swords, engraved with the most terrifying Emperor patterns, left behind by Tai Sheng Huang in the past.
Now all nine Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Swords appeared and, under Tai Sheng Huang's control, charged toward the Emperor's Corpse. Each Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Sword once again played its role, various ultimate mysteries manifesting, nailing the Emperor's Corpse once more upon the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, making the Emperor's Corpse snarl and roar: "Tai Sheng Huang, you seek to suppress and slay this Emperor again! This Emperor is unwilling! You cannot do this!"
"What unwillingness? You should have been utterly annihilated. My appearance is merely for the purpose of suppressing and slaying you."
Tai Sheng Huang said softly, nailing the Emperor's Corpse once more upon the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin. With a casual gesture, nine Chaos Immortal Gold Divine Chains flew out from the abyss chasm, shrinking to normal size, each correspondingly connected behind the nine divine swords. Then they completely sealed the Emperor's Corpse upon the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, the heavy coffin lid pressing down again, resealing it.
Great Emperor Jia Ye's Emperor's Corpse was once again suppressed within the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin.
Tai Sheng Huang turned back, speaking to the abyssal behemoth: "Having guarded for so many tens of thousands of years has indeed been hard on you. You may leave now."
The abyssal behemoth remained silent but did not leave immediately.
However, Tai Sheng Huang did not leave Ye Chen's body. Instead, he strode forward, carrying the Nine-Layered Divine Coffin, walking along the River of Time. Each step spanned an era, witnessing the prosperity and flourishing of various epochs, also witnessing the withering and fading into silence of billions of living beings...
Upon the River of Time, he transcended above it, finally disappearing from everyone's sight, heading upstream. Through Tai Sheng Huang's vision, Ye Chen saw within the torrential river water an extraordinary and majestic heavenly pass, towering over the heavens, unimaginably huge, standing at the deepest part of the starry sky, spanning above time, immortal and indestructible.
Immortal Heavenly Pass!
Ye Chen was shocked. He never expected to see the Immortal Heavenly Pass here as well, and moreover, the Immortal Heavenly Pass leading to the Primordial Immortal Realm. Ye Chen had always thought it could only be seen above the River of Time at the Profound Gate; unexpectedly, here it could also be seen.
Could it be that as long as one summoned the River of Time, one could find the Immortal Heavenly Pass leading to the Primordial Immortal Realm?
"The Seventh Pass lingers upon the River of Time. By setting foot upon it, one can find the passage leading to the Primordial Immortal Realm." Tai Sheng Huang seemed to be responding to Ye Chen.
The heavens have nine passes, referring to the nine Immortal Heavenly Passes. The one before them was clearly the seventh Immortal Heavenly Pass, also the one leading to the Primordial Immortal Realm.
Though that was said, Ye Chen deeply understood it was certainly not simple, because the River of Time was ethereal and invisible. Not even Ancient Monarchs could summon it; only Emperors possessed such heaven-defying ability.
Boom—
Tai Sheng Huang proceeded upstream along the River of Time. With one step, he traversed infinite distance in an instant, arriving before the Immortal Heavenly Pass. The Emperor's aura surged, sweeping across the sky, causing the guardians on the heavenly pass to change expressions one after another, yet they all collapsed, utterly unable to withstand it.
For this was the true aura of an Emperor; no one could truly endure it.
"It's an Emperor!"
The powerhouses on the Immortal Heavenly Pass all submitted, not daring to resist.
Tai Sheng Huang stood before the heavenly pass gate, majestic and peerless. With a gentle push of his hands, the heaven-reaching gate valve opened, revealing the vast Primordial Immortal Realm, filled with immortal qi, immensely powerful.
From his body, the supreme aura of an Emperor instantly charged into the depths of the Primordial Immortal Realm, startling billions of living beings within.
