Chapter 1999 – Thirty Thousand Year Great Battle
A scorched black tree stump remained, its life force erased, lonely and withered, perishing there.
This scene hurt Shi Hao deeply. He felt incredible pain and sadness. He roared into the heavens, his head of thick black hair surging, splitting the sky dome. It was as if he went completely crazy.
Ever since he was young, he was always searching for Willow Deity’s footsteps, hoping that the day would come when he could fight with it side by side!
It was because Willow Deity had left too deep of an impression in the Little Stone’s heart, affecting him his entire life. The path he took was precisely because of Willow Deity.
How could he accept this conclusion? Willow Deity died right in front of him!
“Willow Deity!” Shi Hao roared out. He reached out his hand, wishing to stop everything. However, everything was already set in stone, he couldn’t change anything.
After becoming a half immortal emperor, it was difficult for external things to disturb his dao heart. Even though he wasn’t as cold as Gray Emperor, Grand Emperor and Feather Emperor, it was difficult for normal joys and sorrows to make him lose control of his emotions.
However now, his eyes were blurry, tears continuously falling. How many years has it been since he last felt this much pain?
He felt endless grief and sadness. Shi Hao couldn’t hold back his great sobs.
Perhaps there had never been a half emperor who wept like this, but Shi Hao couldn’t stop himself. He was like a grieved and lost child, the tears falling down his face making his eyes blurry.
Willow Deity left this world just like this, turning into a scorched black stump. This ending was too tragic!
“I finally caught up to your footsteps, able to fight with you side by side, able to stand in front of you, kill the enemy, but… you are no longer here!” Shi Hao was in incredible pain.
If there was no Willow Deity, there wouldn’t be the current Shi Hao.
After experiencing so many life and death tribulations, the Little Stone finally rose up.
However, Willow Deity instead long went on ahead of him. No one knew what the other side of Realm Sea was like exactly, but it was definitely extremely terrifying.
Yet Willow Deity still went ahead, not to become an emperor, only for the sake of peace. This was its original intention. As for life or death, it long abandoned these things.
In reality, there was a group of immortal kings who were like this, rushing into the depths of Realm Sea one after another. Even though they knew that it might be a path of death, they still didn’t cower in fear.
They wanted to open up a path with their lives, leave behind more traces for those after them.
These were a group of people worthy of respect, as well as a group of lamentable experts.
Most of them had already died!
Meanwhile, the Land of Darkness was still covered in layers of mist.
Shi Hao was dispirited and in grief. After slaughtering all the way up to here, he was always worried about Willow Deity, wishing to see it again one day, scared that something unexpected might happen to it.
However, in the end, he still couldn’t change anything.
For his sake, Willow Deity fought Feather Emperor to the death. It definitely used its life to fill in the gap, buy him time, help him exchange for some opportunities. Meanwhile, its fate was this dismal.
“I am still not strong enough, I came too late!” Shi Hao blamed himself.
Everything he did was precisely to catch up to Willow Deity’s steps. This was the objective he set for himself when he was young, yet now, all of his hopes and dreams ended in great sorrow.
In reality, he already worked hard enough. Who could rise up in this great era, break through into half emperor level after becoming an immortal king? Such a thing had never happened before!
He already arrived at the other side of Realm Sea quickly enough. However, it was a pity, he was still too late!
Roar!
Shi Hao seemed to have gone completely mad. He roared towards the sky. His body changed greatly, his originally refined and handsome figure turning into an unmatched great demon king. He attacked crazily, suppressing Feather Emperor.
Feather Emperor was in a predicament. It was because that fire covered him, corroding his body, even more so wished to pierce into his soul.
There were only a few half immortal emperors in all of history, every single one of them powerful and world shocking. Even though the one from the Age of Emperor Collapse died, his dao flame still existed.
Even after all these years, the reason why Feather Emperor and the others didn’t touch it was because they feared this final strike. Now, this flame erupted.
It lacked the proactive will of the past half immortal emperor, that individual could be said to have died, but there was still a type of instinct that remained. The ruined will and soul flames drove him into being hostile against Feather Emperor and the others.
Feather Emperor roared out. A pair of wings moved. Heaven and earth broke apart, primal chaos rushing in all directions, world creation power surging.
However, two Shi Hao ‘true bodies’ slaughtered their way over at the same time, placing him in a terrible situation. He was originally already being corroded by a half immortal emperor’s flames, his soul seriously injured, suffering greatly, so now, his current circumstances were even worse.
At the same time, Shi Hao displayed secret techniques, ‘banishing’ willow deity, sending it into an unknown land, breaking apart ruined worlds one after another.
It would be hard for even him to find Willow Deity, that is unless he went all out.
“Willow Deity, your roots still remain, your darkness body is still there. Wait for me to rise to the very peak, I will revive you, there will still be a true you!” Shi Hao said to himself.
Hope was fleeting. It was because it was a half immortal emperor who killed Willow Deity. In this type of situation, even the soul would long have been scattered and extinguished.
All he could depend on was that Darkness Willow Deity. Shi Hao hoped that when he was powerful enough, he could reverse the universe, recreate the true Willow Deity.
“Kill!”
Shi Hao roared out, doing everything he could to slaughter his way towards Feather Emperor.
One of his true bodies towered in this world, his right hand flickering with radiance. Dazzling immortal light rushed into the heavens, forming a brilliant and blinding giant axe.
Honglong!
Then, he sent it hacking down towards Feather Emperor.
Dang!
Even though Feather Emperor suffered greatly, his strength was still there. He frantically expelled the half immortal emperor flames and faced Shi Hao, using the Emperor Murdering War Spear to block the giant axe. Sparks flew in all directions. This place collapsed, nothing remaining. Under the power of this unmatched strike, it far exceeded the understanding of the people of this world.
In this place, the ripples that surged could easily erase worlds.
In that instant, endless brilliance rushed out, great realms were opened.
Immediately afterwards, heaven and earth collapsed, black clouds surged and groups of stars fell. There were great worlds that were obliterated, reaching their end.
This was a battle between half immortal emperors. Universes would be opened and worlds would be destroyed, life and death swirling in a continuous cycle.
Pu!
In another direction, Shi Hao’s embodied self roared out. His palm and fingers shone. The sword core in his hands stabbed into the middle of Feather Emperor’s back, and then twisted fiercely.
AHH!…
Feather Emperor cried out, roaring towards the sky. His wings moved, covering heaven and earth. A bit of the half immortal emperor flames was forced out. His wings shook, body rushing out.
“Where do you think you are going?!”
Shi Hao roared out, attacking ferociously again.
In reality, Feather Emperor couldn’t escape. That half immortal emperor flame restricted him, as if locking him within a domain of flames.
At the very least, there was enough time for Shi Hao to kill him.
Dang!
This time, the giant axe hacked down, sword core slashed out, striking Feather Emperor until he continuously coughed out blood, staggering in retreat. His entire body was scorched black, moreover continuously dripping out blood.
“Feather Emperor, hand over your life!”
Shi Hao’s eyes became red from slaughter, frantically doing everything he could to destroy him.
He didn’t care about the consequences of this battle, he only wanted to kill Feather Emperor.
However, half immortal emperors were too difficult to kill. Even though he was seriously injured, wrapped within emperor flames, continuously corroded by them, Feather Emperor still struggled, not dying even after endless exchanges.
This was especially the case with that war spear in his hand. Whenever it hacked out, there would be endless immortal radiance, possessing powerful destructive force.
Right now, both of them went crazy. One wanted to protect his own life, one wanted revenge, their eyes long becoming scarlet red, killing intent surging.
Three figures tangled about each other, the clash even more intense than before.
Pu!
The giant axe descended. Shi Hao cleaved Feather Emperor in half. Blood radiance overflowed, half immortal emperor blood rushing out millions and millions of li, even primal chaos was annihilated.
Feather Emperor roared out. He was directly hacked in half. For him, this was a huge injury! Even his soul was split in half. His magical body surged, filling this world to the point of bursting.
He roared out, struggling, the cleaved halves of his body still fighting. This wasn’t how someone who was just cut into two should be like at all.
“Kill!” Shi Hao roared out.
His other self held the sword core, at the same time displaying Chaos Calming Art, Grass Symbol Sword Art and Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, merging these three together, moreover pushing them to the peak, pushing them to the extreme pinnacle.
He displayed unmatched sword techniques with half immortal emperor power, his divine might was unrivaled.
Pu pu pu…
Blood radiance continuously flickered. Shi Hao activated the three great sword arts, hacking Feather Emperor until his entire body was covered in blood, body in ruins, blood and bones flying out together.
Roar!
Feather Emperor rose up in a violent rage. From the past until now, he always directly suppressed the enemy, never tasting this type of defeat. He was cut apart, blood radiance rushing into the heavens, this was something that never happened before.
His soul was burning, yet he was forcefully gathering his blood and ruined body, fighting frantically against Shi Hao.
However, even if he could recombine his body, piece himself into a complete body, there would still be terrifying wounds that wouldn’t disappear. Shi Hao’s natural laws were still tearing at him, it was impossible to immediately force them out.
“Surrender your head!”
Shi Hao roared out. He brandished the giant axe in his hands, smashing aside the Emperor Murdering War Spear. Sparks flew in all directions, hatchet radiance surging. It hacked through the primal chaos, cutting down on the neck of Feather Emperor’s massive magical body.
With a pu sound, a head flew out, producing large amounts of blood.
Shi Hao seriously injured him again, removing his head. He rushed over, continuing to attack.
Lightning surged here. Shi Hao used this type of secret method to refine Feather Emperor, completely exhausting his body’s essence blood. He continuously hacked at his flesh, refining his soul.
However, in the end, he still suffered the same problem as before.
It was just like when he faced Gray Emperor and Grand Emperor, he defeated his opponent, but couldn’t kill them!
Shi Hao already used up all of his methods. He tore off Feather Emperor’s divine wings, crushed his flesh into a bloody mist, refining his soul as well, truly wishing he could immediately turn it to ashes.
“You cannot kill me, the one who will die in the end is you. The greater situation is on my side!” Feather Emperor roared out. His soul was no different from his true body, hair disheveled, covered in blood.
The expression in his eyes was like that of a wild animal, carrying unruliness and biting cold killing intent.
Pu!
When facing this type of threat, Shi Hao directly sent his axe down, splitting open his primordial spirit. Then, he activated great dao flames to refine it.
Roar!
The most terrifying situation arrived. Grand Emperor appeared again, his purple energy surging, killing intent tearing apart endless time. His long hair scattered out, entire body covered in blood. He walked over with large steps.
“Let’s see you try to escape calamity now!” Gray Emperor also came, his gray hair in disorder, the expression in his eyes cold. His entire body was covered in blood, appearing here.
These two were extremely miserable just now, their primordial spirits cut apart, continuously broken down, but they just couldn’t be killed. They could make it through with their half immortal emperor dao skills.
Now, even though there was great damage to their foundational energy, their body’s situation extremely terrible, they still rushed over. If they still didn’t make an appearance, Feather Emperor really might end up dying.
“This battle actually reached this step.”
Shi Hao surprisingly calmed down, not going crazy.
However, when he took action again, the expressions of everyone here couldn’t help but change.
Hong!
He called over the half immortal emperor Bone Crown, forcefully smashing it into the Feather Emperor soul he suppressed. Then, he fiercely ignited it, making this place explode.
Primal chaos great explosion!
Forget about Feather Emperor, even Shi Hao himself coughed blood, his body in tatters.
AHHHHHH…
Feather Emperor roared out. After his soul broke apart inch by inch, he became tattered beyond belief, turning into strand after strand of half immortal emperor light.
“You still won’t die?!” Shi Hao sighed. Even though he made mental preparations, it was still hard to hide his expression of disappointment.
Feather Emperor reappeared!
That malevolent face and those cold eyes clearly displayed his anger.
Chi!
Shi Hao moved with his embodied self, charging at Gray Emperor and Grand Emperor, facing these two great experts.
“En? What are you trying to do?!”
The two shouted out. This time, when Shi Hao took action, it was extremely strange. When they fought, he actually directly hugged them. His entire body burned, releasing a terrifying aura.
They sensed that something was extremely wrong. Was he trying to take them down with him?!
In the end, the Shi Hao who carried Grand Emperor suddenly exploded, dragging Grand Emperor down with him.
On the other side, Shi Hao’s true body also moved, tangling about Gray Emperor, pushing him into the explosion radiance.
Grand Emperor screamed miserably!
Ah… At the same time, Gray Emperor also released a howl of pain, roaring out.
However, comparatively speaking, Gray Emperor’s wounds weren’t that serious. He immediately broke free from that sea of terrifying radiance.
Shi Hao sighed. It wasn’t that he had to destroy his own body, but rather because his Embodiment Transformation body had a time limit. He sensed that this ‘true body’ of his was about to disappear.
That was why he didn’t hesitate to pay the price, fighting like this.
As the Embodiment Transformation Great Method was completely comprehended by him, he could create an unmatched war body. However, it was restricted by time, it couldn’t exist forever.
In addition, after using this great method once, he couldn’t use it again for some time.
Feather Emperor and Grand Emperor both suffered primordial spirit damage. If not for their powerful cultivation, their body and spirit would have long been destroyed!
Destroying a half immortal emperor level magical artifact, indiscriminate destruction, even these methods couldn’t take their lives. This really was a bit frightening.
“What other methods do you have left? It is time for you to head into the afterlife!” Feather Emperor said coldly.
Gray Emperor and Grand Emperor pressed over together, all of them carrying bone chilling killing intent.
“All of you are already in ruins, your souls unstable, your essence blood scattered. It is still hard to say who will kill who yet!” Shi Hao replied coldly.
In the following battle, Gray Emperor became the main force, resisting Shi Hao.
The other two emperors wanted to recover on the side, but when facing the mad Shi Hao, things didn’t go as they wished. Shi Hao seemed like he went completely crazy.
He didn’t care about the consequences, didn’t hesitate to pay any price as he fought these three emperors. He was completely using up his own life to take theirs.
This battle continued for many years. They fought from the primal chaos into the Land of Darkness, and then back into the ultimate ancient land.
They all went all out, fighting a decisive battle.
Time went on!
This was a great battle between half immortal emperors!
No one could have thought that Shi Hao would fight Gray Emperor, Grand Emperor and Feather Emperor to this type of scene. Ten thousand years passed, but their battle still didn’t stop.
Their bodies were all ruined, their souls also like this.
Feather Emperor was previously covered by that flame and then had his soul cut apart by half immortal emperor level magical artifacts. Even though he stuck it through, in reality, his soul and foundation were injured.
Meanwhile, Grand Emperor’s injuries seemed to be even greater. After suffering Shi Hao’s embodied body’s indiscriminate destruction, even though he didn’t die, during these years, his state was extremely terrible.
Otherwise, Shi Hao couldn’t have lasted until now at all.
After all, he was fighting three great half immortal emperors, this battle lasting over ten thousand years.
At this point, all of them were going all out, wishing to take down the enemy. If any of them cowered back, it wouldn’t be good for any of them.
It was hard for those of the outside world to imagine just how long this battle continued for!
In reality, the following battle toppled all of the records of the past great battles.
They fought for thirty thousand years!
All of them were long skin wrapped around bones, their essence blood completely gone. If they continued like this, even half immortal emperors couldn’t continue.
Hong!
Great waves surged, black waters swept towards the sky.
Unknowingly, they slaughtered their way into Realm Sea.
“Heh, everything you care about is on the other side. How about we choose that place to fight?” Feather Emperor said with a sneer.
“I really don’t want to destroy that place, that is the place where darkness beings are born. If we give up on it like this, it is just too much of a pity.” Grand Emperor said, the corners of his lips carrying coldness.
