"Emperor World Wall!"
Yu Heng Emperor Son roared, numerous black holes appearing behind him as even more Emperor Realm Power surged forth, condensing before him into a wall that seemed as solid as substance.
Boom—
The descent of this sword was ultimately blocked by the impregnable fortress constructed from Emperor Realm Power, though the wall of Emperor Realm Power was also shattered, scattering into a sky full of dissipating power.
Yu Heng Emperor Son coughed up large mouthfuls of blood.
In this battle, he had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position, unable to withstand the onslaught.
The opponent was too strong, practically akin to a true ancient Great Emperor descending upon the mortal world.
Yet even at this point, Yu Heng Emperor Son still struggled desperately, continuously channeling Emperor Realm Power. Vast streams of Emperor Realm Power transformed into sky-propping giant pillars, heavily bombarding Pohan Divine King with a frantic, desperate madness as he roared incessantly: "The Golden Crow Emperor Realm belongs to this Emperor Son! You go die!"
"Break!"
Pohan Divine King uttered lightly, his words becoming law. Boundless power surged out, blocking every single one of Yu Heng Emperor Son's attacks.
Simultaneously, Pohan Divine King took a step forward. The golden light blooming from his body grew even more blazing, vaguely as if a peerless Golden Crow was awakening. His entire form transformed into a heavenly sun, with infinite divine flames boiling, seemingly wanting to burn through the nine heavens—unimaginable.
These divine flames, carrying blazing golden radiance and an overbearing burning power, could even burn Emperor Realm Power itself, truly terrifying and unparalleled.
Yu Heng Emperor Son finally calmed down, his expression changing. He immediately retreated.
A stream of Emperor Realm Power even enveloped the Yu Heng Emperor Clan, intending to leave this Golden Crow Emperor Realm.
His speed was fast, but Pohan Divine King's speed was faster. With a single step, he traversed infinite distance, arriving at the opened world portal.
In this Golden Crow Emperor Realm, he was everything. He was the only god.
"All who harm my Golden Crow Emperor Clan shall stay here. Not a single one shall leave, including you!"
Pohan Divine King's voice carried a particular coldness. He brandished the blood-dripping divine sword, its slash cleaving the heavens, shattering layers of Emperor Realm Power, sending Yu Heng Emperor Son flying backward, blood splattering!
Yu Heng Emperor Son's blood stained the starry region near the world portal, dyeing numerous stars with his blood, just like the slain Golden Crow old Sovereign not long ago.
"Ah—"
Yu Heng Emperor Son roared, portals continuously opening all over his body. These were passages to the inherited, broken Origin Imperial World. Even more powerful Emperor Realm Power surged forth, encircling him. Even that Origin Imperial World showed signs of collapse.
Because he was using too much Emperor Realm Power, exceeding the load of the Origin Imperial World.
But facing a life-and-death crisis, Yu Heng Emperor Son simply couldn't care about that anymore.
Pohan Divine King uttered: "Seal!"
Instantly, the Golden Crow Emperor Realm fell into absolute sealing. Everything was sealed—the Emperor Realm was locked, space-time was imprisoned.
Even Yu Heng Emperor Son could no longer draw upon Emperor Realm Power for his own use.
Because the Golden Crow Emperor Realm was completely isolated from the outside world.
Yu Heng Emperor Son's expression changed, but the Emperor Realm Power swirling around him continuously boiled, attempting to pierce through the Golden Crow Emperor Realm, break everything open, to leave and connect with the Origin Imperial World.
"Indeed somewhat troublesome."
Pohan Divine King sighed lightly, but his hands rapidly formed seals. Finally, myriad seals manifested between his hands, then he pointed a finger to the sky: "Golden Crow Heaven-Sealing Art!"
Rumble—
In the unknowable outside world of the Golden Crow Emperor Realm, among the nine Emperor Dao and Immortal Dao heavenly suns hanging at an unfathomably high, infinite apex, one particularly dazzling, blazing sun suddenly descended with billions of li of brilliant light, transforming into a colossal, incomparable pillar of light. It traversed infinite distance, crossed space-time, and landed upon the Golden Crow Emperor Realm.
As if in a trance, an unparalleled Emperor Dao power slowly emerged, enveloping the entire Golden Crow Emperor Realm.
Within the Emperor Realm, the heaven and earth void that should have been shaking from Yu Heng Emperor Son's use of Emperor Realm Power now rapidly stabilized. Even though the power Yu Heng Emperor Son wielded was equivalent to an Ancient Monarch, at this moment, he could not shake the void.
It was too stable, as if an ancient Great Emperor had acted to stabilize heaven and earth, unbreakable.
Yu Heng Emperor Son's expression changed drastically. The methods displayed by the opponent were too inconceivable.
But he still had no recourse left, having reached the end, with only a desperate gamble remaining.
"Annihilation of All Heavens!"
Yu Heng Emperor Son roared, shaking the eternal sky. The Emperor Realm Power on his body boiled, then burned, transforming into unparalleled power, before unleashing the most terrifying Forbidden Divine Ability.
It was a Forbidden Divine Ability at the Ancient Monarch level. Once executed, its might practically shook the entire Golden Crow Emperor Realm; the stars of the thirty-three heavens seemed about to explode.
Visible to the naked eye, behind Yu Heng Emperor Son appeared a majestic, peerless Supreme Emperor shadow, as if traversing the river of time, returning from the endless ages past. In its hand appeared an Emperor spear.
Its appearance overturned space-time, reversed everything. The Golden Crow Emperor Realm surged violently; even this imprisoned heaven and earth showed fluctuations, about to tear open the seal.
Pohan Divine King looked at this unapproachable Supreme Emperor shadow before him, revealing a trace of nostalgia as he sighed: "Separated by infinite time, never expecting our reunion would be on such an occasion. Pitiful and lamentable, Annihilation Great Emperor."
Yu Heng Emperor Son's heart trembled violently. He always felt this middle-aged man before him was extraordinary, as if possessing a heaven-shaking origin.
Especially from that tone, one could vaguely hear hints.
He widened his eyes, suddenly thinking of a certain possibility, yet he couldn't bring himself to believe it, because that fact was too unbelievable, beyond the scope of what his mind could accept.
"No, you cannot be him!"
Yu Heng Emperor Son became utterly desperate. The Forbidden Divine Ability "Annihilation of All Heavens" was executed. The Supreme Emperor shadow of Annihilation Great Emperor was hazy and indistinct, yet emanated an aura of annihilating everything. It brandished the Emperor spear in its hand, pointing distantly at Pohan Divine King, then fiercely unleashed its attack.
This spear traversed time, ignored space-time. The Golden Crow Emperor Realm trembled for it; heaven and earth shattered for it.
At this moment, Pohan Divine King set down the blood-dripping divine sword, even opened his arms, releasing his mind and body, saying: "Come!"
The terrifying, unparalleled shadow of Annihilation Great Emperor, carrying a fatal blow, heavily struck Pohan Divine King. But the imagined shattering into pieces did not occur. On the contrary, the Annihilation Great Emperor that could shatter space-time and ages abruptly vanished, as if merging into Pohan Divine King's body, then completely disappeared without a trace.
All of this was so soul-stirring.
A Forbidden Divine Ability strike comparable to that executed by an Ancient Monarch vanished just like that, without a trace, not stirring even a single ripple—simply shocking and unheard of.
What had just happened?
Within the Immortal Emperor City, countless Golden Crow clansmen cheered, filled with excitement.
Their gazes, their expressions toward that lofty, towering, majestic figure standing in the depths of the starry sky were all brimming with unparalleled fervor and worship.
He seemed to be the only god of the Golden Crow Emperor Clan, that supreme, paramount existence. Once he spoke, he could command the Golden Crow Emperor Clan; even if it meant going through fire and water, marching to their deaths without hesitation.
In the distant sky, the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body showed a look of astonishment, letting out a long sigh, deeply shaken.
Below, Ye Chen, Yu Qing, A Beinu, and others familiar with Pohan Divine King were all shocked and somewhat puzzled at this moment.
Because the Pohan Divine King before them had become completely unrecognizable, very unfamiliar, as if he had turned into another person, wielding supreme, paramount power and possessing heaven-defying methods.
Such methods were something even the Great Emperor Reincarnation Body could not hope to match.
Now, they all began to ponder: who exactly was Pohan Divine King? What was his origin?
Yu Heng Emperor Son's body went limp, staring in horror at this scene, filled with shock and despair. Finally, as if liberated, he threw his head back and laughed loudly: "To think I, Yu Heng Emperor Son, a heaven-defying talent, invincible among my generation, even obtained the Emperor Dao origin left by an ancient Great Emperor. I should have been invincible in this Emperor War Battlefield, yet I encountered the most impossible person to appear."
"Not an unjust defeat, nor an unjust death."
Experts from various imperial clans, immortal clans, and Mythical Emperor Domains were suspicious and curious. Yu Heng Emperor Son seemed to know the true identity of the newcomer, making them all inwardly curious.
"I will not kill you. For someone of my seniority to act against you is already somewhat excessive." Pohan Divine King spoke, his gaze so profound, as if epochs rose and fell, space-time revolved, burying everything. Then he added: "But I will strip away everything belonging to Annihilation Great Emperor from you."
He reached out and captured Yu Heng Emperor Son. With a movement of his hand, he severed the connection between Yu Heng Emperor Son and the Origin Imperial World. On the latter's body appeared a slightly damaged Emperor crown, belonging to Annihilation Great Emperor.
Looking at this crown, he seemed to reminisce.
After a long while, his hand clenched. A force entered it, instantly washing through it thousands of times, erasing all of Yu Heng Emperor Son's imprints. He said: "Annihilation Great Emperor's legacy should not belong to you."
"However, you caused the fall of an old Sovereign of my Golden Crow Emperor Clan. Even as the son of an old friend, you must bear the price."
Crack—
Pohan Divine King's five fingers formed a palm blade, slicing open the void, revealing endless Spatial Turbulence.
Yu Heng Emperor Son's expression was calm. "Although you are him, you are also not him. You should understand that banishing me into infinite Spatial Turbulence cannot truly banish me. With my ability, returning is merely a matter of time."
Indeed, endless Spatial Turbulence posed only some threat to Heavenly Kings; against Great Powers, it was completely ineffective, let alone against Yu Heng Emperor Son, who was already a half-step Divine King-level existence. Banished into infinite Spatial Turbulence, wanting to return would be a matter of minutes.
"Indeed, infinite Spatial Turbulence cannot trap you." Pohan Divine King said calmly. "But if it's that place, your return will be difficult."
He threw a punch. A vast stream of Emperor Realm Power transformed into a giant dragon, plunging into the endless Spatial Turbulence, penetrating it in the blink of an eye, heading toward the deepest reaches.
Faintly visible, in that unreachably deep place, one could vaguely hear the sound of crashing, roaring waves.
Visible to the naked eye, there was a river of unimaginable grandeur, hidden in the deepest depths, at an unknown distance of millions of li, even impossible to search for. Only Pohan Divine King, relying on his heaven-defying methods, managed to pierce through and guide the way there.
