Chapter 390: Chapter 393: The Climax Battle_1
The countenance of Jade Honor grew solemn, his vitality flourishing, the flame of battle soaring high. His feud with Soul Emperor traced back to the beginning of the first era. As the inheritor of Immortality Mountain, he bore his own mission! And Soul Emperor’s background likewise dictated he had a special mission of his own! For their respective missions, they became adversaries, attacking each other. Yet, due to specific reasons, they couldn’t make a killing move, leading to a stalemate that had persisted until now.
Is it time to end the feud of nine eras? A gleam of determination shone in Jade Honor’s eyes. He stretched out his right hand, and a golden battle sword materialized, radiating a noble aura and endless sharpness.
A predestined spiritual treasure, the Holy Path Sword!
"Warriors of Immortality Mountain, to the battlefield!" Jade Honor unsheathed the Holy Path Sword, his entire being bathed in golden light, becoming extraordinarily holy. An overwhelming aura spread out, exerting immense pressure on the many Great Emperor Realm martial artists embroiled in the battle.
"Fight!"
"Fight..."
The experts of Immortality Mountain each took up their weapons. Their armaments were all celestial treasures, radiating brilliant Dao light, and several were even predestined spiritual treasures—an awe-inspiring sight that would make anyone drool. The true depth of the strongest force on the continent was completely revealed.
"Elders of the Eternal Temple, to the battlefield!" Soul Emperor issued his impassive command.
Behind him, the Void suddenly tore open. Terrifying shockwaves billowed out, and dozens of black coffins appeared.
BOOM!
The coffin lids flew open, revealing figures cloaked in black who emanated an overwhelming aura. These figures resembled dried bones, each at least in the Ten-thousand-year Emperor Realm, in no way weaker than the experts of Immortality Mountain.
The full might of the Eternal Temple was also on display!
"Truly worthy of the Eternal Temple!" Eastern Question, engaged in a fierce battle with Soul Annihilation, looked at the powerful figures of the Eternal Temple—akin to devil gods—with a hint of shock. He had anticipated the Eternal Temple’s hidden strength but had not expected it to be so profound. Without the formidable warriors of Immortality Mountain, the entire primitive continent would probably have fallen under the Eternal Temple’s control long ago.
Soul Annihilation sneered, a sinister glint in his eyes, "Daring to be distracted while fighting me? You’re seeking death!" Two chains, like black dragons rupturing the sky, condensed myriad streams of black qi, revealing an ancient aura that swept across heaven and earth.
Eastern Question’s expression changed slightly. He immediately refocused and engaged in serious battle.
BOOM!
An even more violent collision of forces echoed.
The experts of Immortality Mountain and the elite forces of the Eternal Temple engaged in an intense battle. The momentum they generated was even fiercer than that of several hundred Great Emperors combined. The Dao Domain beneath their feet completely sank, cracking open like a spiderweb. Its depth was unknowable. Columns of molten light erupted, emitting scorching heat. Acrid smoke filled the air, which carried the pungent smell of sulfur. Any ordinary mortal who took a single breath would be poisoned to death.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Jade Honor and Soul Emperor, facing each other down, roared at the same moment. Golden radiance and black light illuminated the sky dome, outshining the dazzling sun, equally dividing Changkong.
In the brilliant light, a golden Sword Qi and a dark saber qi were coalescing. Various Powers of Laws swirled around them, making the Void tremble. Before these two attacks, everyone else’s techniques seemed dim and insignificant; even the war among Great Emperors appeared frail.
The two strongest individuals in this world unleashed their most powerful attacks.
RUMBLE...
The East Border was shaking; more than six hundred Dao Domains vibrated. Among them, the effect on the tens of Dao Domains on both sides of the Cold River was most pronounced. Mountains split apart, water flooded the plains, and natural calamities followed one after another, causing enormous casualties.
"Go!"
"Die!"
One sword, one saber—they crossed the sky dome and fiercely collided.
Heaven and earth fell silent; all creatures held their breath. At the site of their battle, the Void itself had become chaotic, then evolved into a black hole, swallowing all the spreading aftershocks.
Jade Honor and Soul Emperor were both thrown back ten thousand zhang, shattering a large swathe of the Void. Their dark hair whipped wildly, their clothes snapping in the furious gale. Neither paid any mind to their dishevelment; their eyes were locked on each other, as if their opponent was the only other being in the world. In both their hearts, there was only one thought: to kill the other and achieve victory.
"Fight!"
"Kill!"
Killing intent flooded the heavens, enveloping the universe.
Once they steadied themselves, they immediately launched new attacks. One cleaved through space-time; the other shattered the annals of time. They battled in an unknown Void.
Eons ago, the fighting figures of two people could be seen!
At the zenith of the sky dome, the fighting figures of two people could be seen!
At the dark bottom of the sea, the fighting figures of two people could still be seen!
The sharpness of the sword, the tyranny of the saber—they appeared in every corner of the world, wreaking havoc across the primitive continent. Numerous mountains, cities, and valleys were changed forever by their conflict.
North of the Arctic, a mountain of myriad ice blades was obliterated by a single sword stroke!
A bottomless abyss was hollowed out by countless shockwaves!
Even the Great Wall was split open by a single saber strike, creating a chasm tens of thousands of zhang deep...
After an unknown number of exchanges, the two figures stiffened, suspended in Changkong, no longer attacking. Drop by drop, golden blood dripped from their weapons. One drop of this blood transformed into a river, nourishing range after range of mountains. Another drop smashed an ancient city to ruins, corroding millions of creatures into decayed skeletons.
"Invigorating! This Seat has long desired to fight you to my heart’s content!" Soul Emperor glanced at the minor wound on his chest, which constantly oozed fresh blood. Baring his teeth in a grin, he threw his head back and laughed.
Jade Honor said evenly, "What a pity, this will be our last battle! The next time we fight, you will be left far behind!" On his lower abdomen, there was also a wound from which beads of blood seeped.
The injuries on both men were not grave, but they held different meanings. For Soul Emperor, this was the first time he had injured Jade Honor! For Jade Honor, this was the first time he had been injured by Soul Emperor!
"Hahaha, a single exchange is enough!" Soul Emperor understood the meaning behind Jade Honor’s words. It implied that he (Soul Emperor) had forcefully increased his strength and would suffer severe after-effects, but Soul Emperor didn’t care a bit.
Glancing at the distant battlefield, he laughed coldly and said, "Jade Honor, do you believe that I’ll win this battle?"
Jade Honor’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Suddenly, as if he realized something, his complexion changed repeatedly. He asked in a grave voice, "I want to know, what are you truly trying to achieve by collecting those with special physiques?"
As the strongest person on the continent, his wisdom and strategic thinking were indeed extraordinary. He immediately understood the implication of Soul Emperor’s words. Soul Emperor’s fierce battle with him was most likely a diversion, aimed at the prodigies with special physiques from the major sacred lands!
However, even though he understood this, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He knew Soul Emperor well enough to surmise that the people of the Eternal Temple had likely already succeeded. Rushing back now would be futile.
"You’ll find out in the future!" Soul Emperor laughed heartily, his body gradually becoming transparent as he prepared to fly towards the East Border.
Jade Honor’s expression turned grim. He blocked Soul Emperor’s path, his killing intent flaring as he said, "You think you can just leave after tricking me?"
With that, he thrust his sword forward!
The dazzling Sword Qi descended like the Heavenly Sword itself.
Soul Emperor, slightly taken aback, hastily raised his saber to defend, triggering another earth-shattering battle.
