In a burst of stunning brilliance, Gu Changge’s palm transformed into a universe with the power to weaken Emperor Yi’s Divine Abilities and shatter his Primordial Spirit into a rain of light.
The overwhelming aura of the Great Dao filled the air, creating a sacred plane that promoted ascension. As the Heavens and earth mourned, a breathtaking blood-red light streaked across the vast expanse of the universe, marking the incredible moment of Emperor Yi’s demise.
Gu Changge raised his palms, clasping them together to extinguish the scorching light. With that, he successfully refined a divine medicine from the Source of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. He parted his lips and inhaled deeply, unleashing an immense and terrifying suction that threatened to consume every Principle of the Great Dao.
The rain of light in the sky gathered before Gu Changge and was consumed by him with a single gulp. The entire world was immediately plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.
Fear whipped through the Immortal Kings in the distance, causing them to shiver. Witnessing the downfall of an invincible Immortal Emperor, whose Source was effortlessly refined into a divine medicine that Gu Changge easily devoured, left them all in shock. The Immortal Kings could not help but feel a deep sense of fear as their own hair stood on end.
An eerie silence immediately descended upon the entire universe. Countless beings across the Other Domain gazed upon the terrifying figure in sheer horror, prostrating themselves on the ground and not daring to budge an inch. Even their Immortal Kings were paralyzed with fear, afraid to meet the same tragic fate as Emperor Yi.
After a long time, Gu Changge let out a sigh. He scanned the fragmented universe around him.
“How much longer do you all plan on hiding? Do you think that I cannot find you?” Gu Changge asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Kings from distant lands were left dumbfounded, unable to comprehend the true meaning behind Gu Changge’s words. Was it possible that there were other Immortal Kings present besides themselves?
As Gu Changge’s voice echoed through the fragmented universe, ripples appeared before a thick Chaos Fog rolled in. The image of four imposing figures loomed like ancient guardians, their presence spanning the ages and beyond. With different expressions etched upon their faces, they cast their gaze upon the universe.
Even the mightiest Immortal Kings in the Other Domain trembled with a sense of reverence as if compelled to bow before this transcendent force.
The world quivered, as the River of Time churned and swirled in turmoil. It was as though the world was being born and destroyed all at once, and all light was extinguished in its wake.
“The aura that exceeded Immortal Kings! What is going on? Could there be other Immortal Emperors in this Other Domain besides Emperor Yi?” In the distant universe, the Mysterious Ancient Immortal King and the Proud Immortal King all trembled in fear.
If even Immortal Kings like themselves were shuddering, it was evident that the four ominous figures that had suddenly appeared were Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm experts or even more terrifying, true Immortal Emperor Realm experts.
It was almost inconceivable. Had another four Immortal Ancestors exited seclusion in this Other Domain? When did that happen? They had been oblivious to it. Did the battle between Emperor Yi and Gu Changge rouse these Ancestors from their seclusion?
The Mysterious Ancient Immortal King scrutinised the distant figures intently before the realisation dawned upon him. His voice quivered slightly as he said, “Perhaps they are not from this world. All of them may even be stronger than Emperor Yi…”
“Not from this world?” The Proud Immortal King and the Blood Owl Immortal King were taken aback.
Could it be that they arrived from a different point in the River of Time because they detected the powerful energy of the recent conflict? After all, the Immortal Kings possessed the ability to manipulate the flow of time to a certain extent. Not to mention, they might be true Immortal Emperors, who were more powerful than Immortal Kings and Quasi-Immortal Emperors.
The Immortal Kings were struck with terror. There had always been a rumour that two Immortal Emperors would never cross paths and that the existence of multiple Immortal Emperors in the same era was deemed impossible. This was due to the belief that their Dao Abilities would cause a catastrophic collision, resulting in the suppression of the entire world and even the potential explosion of the universe.
It was such that had he attained an Immortal Emperor’s Dao Fruit in a different era, he would steer clear of it in subsequent eras. This was to avoid multiple Immortal Emperors coexist within one lifetime.
Yet, four formidable Immortal Emperors had suddenly appeared, exuding a profound presence that left all trembling in fear.
If one listened closely, they would be able to hear the chanting of ancient scriptures resonating throughout Heaven. If one gazed upon the vast expanse of the universe, they might catch a glimpse of hazy figures, cloaked in the veil of time’s unyielding laws. These were the silhouettes of Immortal Emperors, their images reflected by Heaven and visible to all.
Though they transcended time and space, they were etched into the River of Time. Now, they had manifested together because of Gu Changge’s power.
They were Immortal Emperors, possessing invincible might that had withstood the test of time. Beneath their feet, the power of time surged forth as countless Daos converged into a single avenue, which seemed to have formed solely from their appearance.
It was a sight that defied the belief that two Immortal Emperors should never meet. With all four Immortal Emperors appearing together, it was truly a shocking sight.
“Successors? Is that how I should address all of you?” Standing above the universe, Gu Changge fearlessly faced the four powerful figures before him. He could not discern the era from which the four Immortal Emperors hailed from, but he knew without a doubt that they were not of this era. They were most likely from a truly distant past.
Furthermore, amidst the four, there was one who had truly attained the Immortal Emperor Realm. Although he was shrouded in an enigmatic aura, he appeared to be enveloped in a powerful aura from the future to Gu Changge. While the auras of the other three were inching closer to the Immortal Emperor Realm, they had yet to attain it. Nevertheless, their presence commanded the obedience of all beings in the world.
*Rumble!* Tens of thousands of Daos rumbled and the universe quivered. Concealed within the dense mist, their eyes were as deep as the cosmos itself. They scrutinised Gu Changge with profound intensity as if seeking to unravel his Soul.
“I have heard of your name hundreds of million years ago,” one of the four spoke. His appearance was vastly different from that of the Human Race, with eight heads and six arms, and each head exuded an aura capable of crushing Heaven. His age was immeasurable, and though his presence transcended time, he spoke clearly without fear of cause and effect.
The moment he spoke, bolts of lightning rained down in the depths of the void, converging into a tempestuous storm that engulfed him completely. Yet, he remained unfazed as he withstood the full force of the divine wrath. A single bolt of this magnitude could have easily obliterated an Immortal King, destroying them body and Soul. Yet, nothing happened when they crashed down upon him.
“Oh? When hundreds of million years ago exactly? Before the Great Purge of the Mountains and Oceans True World?” Gu Changge merely smiled with an unwavering gaze.
“I am the Eight Headed Emperor. It was I who severed the Six Minor Path at the Heavenly Tomb during the Great Purge of the Mountains and Oceans True World.” The Eight Headed Emperor spoke amidst the dense fog as the River of Time rushed by. His six arms radiated with the supreme power of the gods. Six doors appeared, each representing the six paths that embodied the most enigmatic Power of Reincarnation.
“Do you intend on attacking me?” Gu Changge raised an eyebrow at him and smiled.
These four were clearly just residual image from a bygone era, phantoms etched into the flowing River of Time for some reason and had manifested as a result of the intense battle between Gu Changge and Emperor Yi.
While it was likely that the true Eight Headed Emperor had perished long ago in the Great Purge. Yet, Gu Changge couldn’t disregard the impending attack. With a graceful wave of his sleeve, the power of time rippled outwards, distorting the very fabric of space and time. What seemed like a portal emerged before him, and Gu Changge confidently walked into it.
*Rumble!* The passage of time was collapsing as Gu Changge battled the Eight Headed Emperor across infinite time and space. He led the battle, controlling its flow.
The thick fog of time spread. Gu Changge put his fingers together, unleashing a devastating beam of Sword Qi that could slice through the fabric of the universe, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake.
The Eight Headed Emperor focused his eyes. The six doors behind him that symbolized the six paths of reincarnation radiated a silver glow that contained terrifying enigmatic power. They seem to originate from the most profound place in the world.
Since the two of them were from different time and space, their fight caused the River of Time to shatter and some of the fragments to evaporate. The Eight Headed Emperor, who was very close to reaching the Immortal Emperor Realm, was a far more formidable opponent than Emperor Yi. Even in his Dharma body was capable of causing Heaven to collapse.
*Qing!*
Gu Changge could verify the strength of his current body for the very first time. It had surpassed that of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, but not quite at the level of an Immortal Emperor. However, this assessment was made before he used any techniques to further enhance his prowess. Once he fully refined the Source of Emperor Yi, his strength would improve by leap and bounds once again.
He flexed his fingers, unleashing a peerless Sword Qi, so sharp it was as if all the stars in the sky had transformed into a single, powerful blade that could obliterate anything in its path.
*Clang, clang, clang…* The barriers of space were reduced to dust in just an instant, causing billions of universes to wither and perish. The Eight Headed Emperor controlled the power of the most primitive Dao of Reincarnation. The sheer might of his divine power surged forth like an endless river, shaking the world.
The battle came to a quick end as Gu Changge’s palm split open the Eight Headed Emperor phantom.
Immortal Emperor Principles, intertwined and blurred the phatom, whose eyes were filled with shock.
Gu Changge focused his eyes as he sent another giant palm across time and space. The moment it collided with the Eight Headed Emperor, a force that shook the world rang out. The impact was so immense that ancient universes on the other end of the world crumbled.
Countless powerful beings scattered throughout time and space who sensed this battle were struck with fear by its magnitude.
Energy fluctuations reverberated across countless dimensions, traversing the vast expanse of time from one end of the River of Time to the other. To some, it appeared to have come from the distant past, while to others, it appeared to have come from the far-off future.
These beings possessed the ability to manipulate time and space. The River of Time was a mere toy in their hands. They could easily disrupt the course of time and space with their will. Naturally, an epic clash like this meant the very fabric of reality was being changed.
“You are strong, even in this era…” The phantom of the Eight Headed Emperor finally faded away, as he had no choice but to accept the reality of the situation. Although his phantom could not locate his long-lost main body, he was fighting at full strength. Even so, he was still no match for Gu Changge.
With that, one among the four Immortal Emperor phantoms vanished. The phantoms of the remaining three had been closely observing the conflict, shrouded by the fog of time.
Two eventually dissipated, choosing not to meddle in the affairs of the present world. Judging from the energy fluctuations during the battle between the Eight Headed Emperor and Gu Changge, it appeared that even if a true Immortal Emperor existed in this era, they would not be able to act recklessly.
Only one phantom from the future remained standing before Gu Changge. His piercing golden eyes seemed to radiate the brilliance of the sun.
Gu Changge was confident that he was a true Immortal Emperor, a symbol of ultimate strength. Despite the distortions of time, his phantom remained formidable.
“I see despair in your eyes…” With a small smile, Gu Changge gazed directly at the Immortal Emperor. Despite being shrouded in the fog of time, Gu Changge seemed to be able to read his mind.
“Unlike the other three, you are from the future. Do you intend to kill me in this era?” His words flowed smoothly, accompanied by a gentle smile that exuded an air of calmness and ease.
The eyes of the phantom, who was shrouded in the fog of time, widened slightly as waves of emotion stirred in his heart.
Even the Immortal Kings in the distance were taken aback by Gu Changge’s words. It was hard to believe that this phantom was even more formidable than Emperor Yi and had come from the future with the intention of killing Gu Changge.
“He may really be an actual Immortal Emperor from the future…” Both the Immortal Kings from the Other Domain and the Immortal Domain were overcome with a sense of fear. Their voices even trembled as they shuddered.
In their current era, such a powerful being was unheard of. Even the invincible experts titled ‘Emperor’ in the Other Domain had only attained the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm. Though the difference between the two might seem slight, the gap in strength was immeasurable.
In the face of a true Immortal Emperor, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was no more than an insignificant ant.
