Chapter 1616: Chapter 426: Unrivaled in the World (Three updates of ten thousand words, please subscribe!)
The Era Cataclysm descends, a trend that is inevitable due to the general momentum.
Even now, as Gu Chen engages deeply with creation, it still holds true; preventing the descent of the Yin world is impossible.
After all, if one were to delve deeply, they are both part of the same vast universe, only distinguished by the aspects of Yin and Yang.
Yin and Yang together is a law of the universe’s operation; as strong as Gu Chen is, he is equal with the Dao and cannot act against the universe or, in other words, Heaven’s will.
Moreover, even if he could, he would not be able to take action.
Otherwise, by going against the laws of the universe, and disturbing the Dao of Heaven, no one knows what could happen.
But at the very least, the extinction of all beings is highly possible, and even the entire universe might self-destruct.
Gu Chen cannot gamble nor is he able to.
Otherwise, if such a situation arrives, how would it differ from the Era Cataclysm?
If so, it might be better to battle the Yin world and determine a victor.
"The Yin world, where the desires of all beings converge, represents the dark side of the universe; Yin and Yang together conform to the cosmic operation and the laws of Heaven."
Soon, this message spread throughout the Eternal Imperial Court, making many people aware of it.
After all, with the Era Cataclysm imminent and a great war against the Yin world about to commence, many things of course need to be clarified for those who will be fighting to know in advance.
Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, you can be ever-victorious in battle, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the Yin world could corrupt the hearts of beings, something that cannot be ignored.
"Fortunately, there is still some time," Gu Chen said, his expression solemn.
The Era Cataclysm has just begun, the power of the Yin world is spreading, and the barriers between the realms are gradually fading, which is not an overnight occurrence.
Thus, for those ancient ancestors or even Demon Emperor-level entities to cross realms, it is not so easy.
When the message spread, the Upper Realms entered their highest state of alert, all forces of the Eternal Imperial Court mobilized to continuously carry out demon extermination operations across the realms.
"This could be seen as a kind of trial before the official commencement of the Era Cataclysm," thought the upper echelons of the Eternal Imperial Court.
After all, the Upper Realm has been stable for more than two hundred years and added to Gu Chen’s continual emergence to lecture about the Dao, many new generations of powerful beings have arisen without facing the threat of evil demons.
Before the two armies officially clash, it is naturally necessary to familiarize the younger generation with the tactics of evil demons.
"If a war formally commences, we need to keep the fire alive!" At the council hall of the Eternal Imperial Court, many high-ranking officials gathered.
The so-called upper echelon naturally refers to Tianyuan Taoist, Luo Bing, Mu Tian, War King, and Du E, five heirs of the Nine Heavens, along with Ao Xuan, Phoenix Dance, Can Miao, and Qi Dao, the four great Immortals.
Together with the Dean of the Qingyun Academy, Situ Yin, and Master Qin, these three presided over this meeting.
Participants included those from the level of Primordial Realm and beyond.
"We have communicated with the Lord of the Imperial Court, he decreed that the outcome of this war is unpredictable and we should, like in past eras, keep a backup plan to prepare a lifeline for the Upper Realm," Tianyuan Taoist spoke with a heavy voice.
"Does the Lord of the Imperial Court not even have the confidence to face the Era Cataclysm?" questioned a Primordial Realm being with a solemn face.
"The power of the Yin world is unknown, the beings of the Upper Realm are countless, and we cannot gamble with all of them, plus, if including myself, even those at the highest realms, or even the Lord of the Imperial Court tries to make a move, what would happen to those ordinary mortals and cultivators?" Mu Tian spoke.
"What is the Lord of the Imperial Court’s contingency plan?" inquired another Primordial Realm being.
War King stood out and said solemnly: "Rooted in the Isle of Origin, leading the Upper Realm to vanish and hide within the endless dimensions. Our relatives and friends can also rest easy."
Upon hearing this, all the high-level members of the Eternal Imperial Court’s eyes lit up.
But only a few insiders knew that this plan was not foolproof.
By doing this, Gu Chen was emulating the formation of the Holy Realm, only the Isle of Origin is even more extraordinary in comparison.
This is the last two pieces of land he left for beings of myriad realms; he would personally act to exile them.
But no one knew, if they fail, with the Yin and Yang sides of the universe uniting, whether the Isle of Origin and the Upper Realm could escape.
But such information didn’t need to be disclosed, only a few needed to know.
In this way, the security of their own family members is ensured, and facing battle against the Yin world, many will have no worries to distract them.
At the onset of the Era Cataclysm, the power of the Yin world heavily invaded, in one day several places in the Upper Realm were permeated with demonic aura, places forbidden to life nearly re-emerging after vanishing for more than two hundred years.
But currently, the Eternal Imperial Court has a multitude of powerful beings who naturally would not give the Yin world such an opportunity, with a large force taking action to annihilate all the invading hell-demons completely.
However, the number of evil demons is unending as long as the Yin world exists, making their complete annihilation impossible.
In this way, this battle continued for ten years.
During these ten years, the power of the Yin world continually strengthened, invading the Upper Realm, while the powerful beings of the Eternal Imperial Court also continuously acted, exterminating all invading evil demons, leaving no survivors.
As for the Upper Realm, the damage was very minimal, even negligible. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Whoosh!
Demonic aura enveloped the area, as a gleaming long knife descended, solidifying the cold smile of a heaven-demon, thoroughly annihilated by a young man.
"Do you demons really think you can invade the Upper Realm? Pah!" The young man spat, looking at the cold demonic energy before him with utter disgust.
All beings instinctively repel these evil demons, with both sides completely incompatible like fire and water.
"It is truly hard to imagine, how such disgusting things, two hundred years ago, still had an organization named Holy Sect, within which so many cultivators eagerly approached them?"
This young man’s face was somewhat pale; having just slain a Primordial Realm heaven-demon, it was clear that his strength was also remarkably strong.
He is a young powerhouse of the new generation in the Eternal Imperial Court, named Bi Yu.
On the side, the young man’s companion said, "You haven’t experienced that era, so naturally you wouldn’t understand how powerful the Holy Door and the Sanctuary of Life are. By merging with these ghostly things, one can obtain eternal life and cultivation without limits. Who wouldn’t want that?"
Bi Yu snorted coldly, "Even if you kill me, I still wouldn’t want to touch these ghostly things, let alone let them into my body!"
The companion shook his head; he came from the Purple-blood Sky Dragon Clan, much older than Bi Yu, and had experienced that era, knowing well the terror of the Holy Door and the Sanctuary of Life.
At this moment, another Primordial Realm powerhouse spoke up, "Bi Yu, if not for the Sovereign of the Imperial Court, where would we be now? At your age, you wouldn’t have achieved the Primordial Realm, let alone stand here."
Upon hearing this, Bi Yu remained silent. Although he was proud and foul-mouthed, the Sovereign of the Imperial Court, Gu Chen, was regarded as the most supreme and sacred existence in his heart.
In fact, that is what everyone in the Upper Realm thinks today, including the new generation of powerhouses.
Without Gu Chen, they indeed wouldn’t have been able to grow so swiftly, though, of course, Bi Yu’s talent also played a significant role.
Boom!
Just then, the void shattered, a supremely dominant aura spread, and intense fear permeated the eyes of the four Primordial Realm beings.
"The... the Supreme Realm!"
"Not good, it’s the Demon Emperor, run!"
Suddenly, the entire world was enveloped by this chillingly supreme aura, the bodies of those few Primordial Realm beings trembled, their very essence terrified, unable to even move.
"For slaughtering our clan’s elites, today, I shall obliterate your world!" the trans-dimensional Demon Emperor snorted coldly, his supreme power pervasive, and suddenly, a sense of mortal peril arose in the hearts of Bi Yu and the others.
"It’s... over!"
"How could the Demon Emperor appear suddenly?!"
"Is the ultimate battle coming?!"
Extreme dread spread among Bi Yu and the others, the whole world trembling as if on the verge of collapse.
The Demon Emperor, lofty and scornful, looked at Bi Yu and the others as if they were mere insignificant bugs.
"All of you die for me!" he said coldly. As soon as the words emerged, a supreme demonic aura swept through, threatening to obliterate both Bi Yu and his companions along with the entire world.
"Hmm?!"
But in the next moment, the Demon Emperor’s expression suddenly changed, surprised to the extreme, as a figure suddenly appeared before him.
"The... the Sovereign of the Imperial Court?!"
In the face of peril, Bi Yu and the others were soaked in sweat, their clothes drenched with cold sweat.
At this moment, Bi Yu looked up at the figure before him, immeasurably tall and majestic, like a supreme, transcendent Celestial Emperor, evoking a feeling of utmost reverence from deep within him.
Upon sensing the invasion by the Demon Emperor, Gu Chen naturally reacted and appeared here immediately.
He glanced back and said, "Bi Yu, is it? Well done, take your companions and leave."
"Great Sovereign of the Imperial Court..." On hearing that Gu Chen knew his name, Bi Yu immediately blushed, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Is it you, the little bug from back then?" At this moment, the trans-dimensional Demon Emperor spoke. His gaze strangely sized up Gu Chen.
Clearly recognizing him, 200-odd years ago, when Gu Chen vanquished the Sanctuary of Life, this Demon Emperor had descended in person but was slain by Gu Chen.
This Demon Emperor then sneered coldly, "Hmph, just right, little bug, I said back then when my reign commences, I would make you wish for death..." But before he could finish, an abruptly emerging hand, breaking all his protective enchantments, pressed onto his skull.
In an instant, the sound of breaking air resonated, and just like that, Gu Chen, with one hand, pressed the Underworld Demon Emperor’s skull, pushing him away from the Upper Realm.
"This?!"
This spectacle left Bi Yu and the others emotionally shaken, immensely thrilled.
"The Sovereign of the Imperial Court is unrivaled in all the world!" After a long while, Bi Yu, his face red, shouted out these words.
"The Sovereign of the Imperial Court is unrivaled in all the world!" The other few Primordial beings also shouted excitedly, their voices echoing throughout the entire realm.
All beings in the realm immediately understood that it was Gu Chen who had saved them, and thus, all beings voiced out, tremendously excited, shouting "The Sovereign of the Imperial Court is unrivaled in all the world."
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Gu Chen had already pushed the Underworld Demon Emperor to the outskirts beyond the realm, far from the Upper Realm.
"Damned bug!"
This Demon Emperor, somewhat irascible, after coming to his senses, had a raging supreme demonic aura enveloping him, trying to engulf Gu Chen.
"Bug? Ridiculous!" Gu Chen scoffed coldly, standing outside the realm like a divine emperor, his body flawless, hair flowing, exuding immense majesty all over!
Now, he was unrivaled across all the worlds, with no adversary capable of matching even half a move against him, the presence of this Demon Emperor so trivial in Gu Chen’s eyes.
Boom!
The next moment, after many years, Gu Chen finally made a move!
A brilliant fist of light streaked across the cosmos, illuminating the entire universe, the invading energy from the underworld halted by its force, and all things seemed to freeze.
And so did this peerless Demon Emperor, his expression frozen, his body inch by inch turning to dust, soon his soul scattered.
Then, a chilling gaze pierced everything, invading the myriad worlds!
Gu Chen sensed it at once, turning his gaze to see, in a dark and gloomy vast universe, two huge, dark, gloomy pupils manifested.
That was the Ancestor of the Underworld!
With a thunderous noise, in the next moment, as the two looked at each other, their gazes directly clashed, causing a tremendous tumult, myriad origins emitting explosive sounds, as if heralding the end of the world!
