The Heavenly Emperor brandished his sword. The sword light contained the might to sever heaven and earth, sever years, sever space-time, sever the myriad Daos—a power capable of cutting through everything—as it surged into the Sealed Boundary Universe.
The Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens all looked over. The Chaos Sea focused its attention, all wanting to know just how powerful this strike from the Heavenly Emperor was.
Zu Gu Da Di's expression changed, wanting to block it, but this sword strike was too fast. Even he found it difficult to intercept, especially with the World Ancestral Tree blocking the way, severing everything and giving rise to boundless space-time, preventing even a Strongest Emperor like him from crossing over immediately.
This was the space-time technique the Time-Space Great Emperor was most adept at, unmatched within the Chaos Sea.
In that very instant, the sword light had already vanished into the Sealed Boundary Universe.
Boom— Boom—
Boom— …
The Sealed Boundary Universe suddenly erupted with unparalleled bloody light, submerging the great universe and even spilling onto the surface of the cosmos. It was utterly terrifying. Vaguely, one could seem to hear the panicked shouts of a Supreme One: "Heavenly Emperor, you cannot do this—"
Infinite phenomena manifested, similar to the scene not long ago when Great Emperor Maha was slain—all were the phenomena of a Supreme One's fall.
The Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens were all horrified. The Heavenly Emperor had merely struck out with a single sword, yet he had directly slain several Supreme Ones who had invaded the Sealed Boundary Universe.
What earth-shattering, peerless means were these? Even a Strongest Emperor should not be capable of such a feat.
Within the Chaos Sea, the most deeply slumbering Strongest Emperors and Immortal Kings opened their eyes, terrifying light shooting forth, faintly revealing shock. Clearly, they were all astonished by the peerless prowess of the Heavenly Emperor's sword strike just now.
They pondered: if it were them, could they achieve the same?
Only silence remained!
The alien Zu Gu Da Di's expression was grim: "Heavenly Emperor!"
However, even facing the earth-shattering Heavenly Emperor, Zu Gu Da Di felt some apprehension. The Heavenly Emperor, who alone had suppressed the chaos caused by supreme giants across various epochs, was no ordinary figure.
"Zu Gu!"
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the alien Zu Gu Da Di, his gaze brilliant, instantly causing this alien Strongest Emperor to feel the utmost wariness, even more so than when facing Tai Sheng Huang.
"Tai Sheng!" The Heavenly Emperor nodded towards Tai Sheng Huang, his majestic face finally revealing a hint of a smile. "Since Time-Space has acted today, able to connect this forgotten stretch of time for a moment, I shall also act and slaughter one alien Strongest Emperor."
"Good!"
Tai Sheng Huang agreed.
"Hmph, Heavenly Emperor, you still cannot kill me." Zu Gu Da Di was wary of the two Strongest Emperors, but that was all. As fellow Strongest Emperors, who was truly that much weaker than another?
"Is that so?" The Heavenly Emperor smiled, majestic and possessing absolute confidence.
"Heavenly Punishment!"
The Heavenly Emperor swung his Imperial Sword, named the Heavenly Punishment Imperial Sword, representing the punishment of the Heavenly Emperor, as it slashed down with a thunderous roar.
Zu Gu Da Di had just wanted to block it, but in an instant, he found his Emperor Body unable to move.
On his Emperor Body, which was in no way inferior to the Primordial Chaos Great World, suddenly appeared thick chains as massive as dragons, heavily entangling his demonic form. They contained the Emperor Dao's mighty power to seal heaven and lock earth, making it difficult for him to unleash his full Emperor Dao strength. His expression turned ugly: "Kun Tian Suo!"
These thick chains were precisely the Heavenly Emperor's other supreme Imperial Weapon—Kun Tian Suo, reputed to be chains capable of binding the Heavenly Dao.
Within the Chaos Sea, Kun Tian Suo possessed a reputation of great renown.
Boom—
Naturally, Zu Gu Da Di was unwilling to face a strike from the Heavenly Punishment Imperial Sword. With a roar that shook the Chaos Sea, infinite Emperor Dao might ignited, seeking to break free from the restraints of Kun Tian Suo.
Boom—
Zu Gu Da Di's Emperor figure staggered. Emperor Blood soared for billions of miles, annihilating countless small world heavens and earths within the Chaos Sea.
A Heaven-Burying Stele, not much smaller than his Emperor Body, descended from the sky, carrying brilliant Emperor Blood like a hand of the Heavenly Emperor, heavily smashing onto his body.
Heaven-Burying Stele!
Zu Gu Da Di's Emperor figure staggered. Bloody light bloomed on his back, nearly causing him to collapse onto the River of Time.
Boom—
The radiance of Emperor Blood surged for billions of miles. A massive arm was severed and fell.
The Heavenly Punishment Imperial Sword descended, severing one of Zu Gu Da Di's arms.
Almost within the briefest of encounters, the alien Strongest Emperor had been severely wounded by the Heavenly Emperor, losing an arm and shocking the Chaos Sea.
This was the Heavenly Emperor, the invincible Heavenly Emperor. Even an alien Strongest Emperor had been severely wounded in a single encounter.
Even the Immortal Kings and Strongest Emperors within the Primordial Immortal World and other Chaos Ancient Universes revealed looks of astonishment.
The Heavenly Emperor's strength somewhat exceeded their expectations.
Truly worthy of being the First Emperor of the Sealed Boundary Universe!
"Heavenly Emperor!" Zu Gu Da Di's expression also changed, feeling a sense of dread. Although he knew of the Heavenly Emperor's power, he hadn't expected it to be this formidable. Of course, he had also been caught off guard.
As the three Heavenly Emperor weapons—Kun Tian Suo, Heaven-Burying Stele, and Heavenly Punishment Imperial Sword—were stained with the blood of a Strongest Emperor, they grew increasingly brilliant and powerful, rumbling and resonating. The boundless Chaos Sea was thrown into complete turmoil, as if about to explode, with countless worlds born from chaos shattering.
The majesty of the Heavenly Emperor suppressed all, past and present!
The Heavenly Emperor stood upon the River of Time, flickering in and out of view. Even facing Zu Gu Da Di, a fellow Strongest Emperor, he still looked down from above, still held the superior position, astounding all with his peerlessness. How domineering! Even a Strongest Emperor was insufficient; the Heavenly Emperor would suppress, would slay.
Roar—
With a great roar, Zu Gu Da Di's immortal Emperor Body slowly stood upright. Even with the Kun Tian Suo capable of binding the Heavenly Dao upon him, and the Heaven-Burying Stele capable of burying the Heavenly Dao, they could not completely suppress him.
He was a Strongest Emperor, an invincible existence within the Chaos Sea, a peerless being surpassing Supreme Ones. He believed in himself. Within this heaven and earth, this Chaos Sea, this past, present, and future, no one could truly kill him.
Waves of matchless power that would make even Supreme Ones tremble with fear were slowly reviving, blooming. The River of Time itself began to tremble, as if on the verge of snapping at any moment.
That was Zu Gu Da Di. He was about to display his most powerful peak state to confront the Heavenly Emperor who had suppressed the great chaos of the epoch.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression remained calm. Even as Zu Gu Da Di prepared to reveal his strongest form, it could not shake his state of mind.
That severed arm, though it also seethed with boundless blood qi fluctuations and possessed power that would make even Supreme Ones pale, was instantly bound by a chain that shot out from Kun Tian Suo. It was firmly nailed onto the River of Time, unable to return to its main body.
"Zu Gu, today is for your slaughter. Will you even have a chance to strike?"
Upon the River of Time, another Strongest Emperor of the Sealed Boundary Universe stepped forward—it was Tai Sheng Huang.
Tai Sheng Huang sneered and began to act. The Chaos Dao techniques he wielded were far beyond anything Ye Chen could muster.
Boom—
Bound by Kun Tian Suo and suppressed by the Heaven-Burying Stele, Zu Gu Da Di could not form an effective defense. In the next moment, he was severely wounded by Tai Sheng Huang, a massive, clear-through bloody hole pierced through his body. Infinite Emperor Blood dyed the Chaos Sea.
Zu Gu Da Di was in a sorry state, covered in blood, his condition extremely perilous.
The Supreme Ones of the myriad heavens were solemn. Would Zu Gu Da Di truly be slain today?
