Wang Chong ignored the fleeing Celestial Army soldiers and men in black. With Heaven dead, these people had no leader, and there was no place on earth they could hide.

None of them would be able to escape their inevitable deaths.

Whoosh!

Wang Chong, Unity Supreme, Luo Supreme, Li Xuantu, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, and the others quickly made their way to another part of the battlefield. Here, smoke plumed into the air, the earth had been shattered, molten rock flowed, and a large crater dominated the landscape.

And in this massive crater, they could see something burning.

Su Zhengchen walked out from the rear and muttered, “This is him?”

“Mm.”

Unity Supreme gave a slight nod.

They had been together with Heaven for a very long time, and they could still recognize his familiar energy.

“Heaven cultivated for tens of thousands of years and has been through countless tribulations. His physical body is essentially unbreakable, as it contains many kinds of special, high-class materials. It’s not that easy to destroy!” Luo Supreme added.

Heaven was a peerless expert, the only ‘god’ since ancient times. Even if he died, he would not die in the same way an ordinary person did.

Upon hearing this, everyone internally sighed in relief, their eyes flickering. Regardless, this disaster had finally passed.

Wang Chong also sighed in emotion. All of them had worked together and finally managed to kill Heaven. Those Celestial Army soldiers and men in black were actually rather pitiable. They had been waiting for Heaven all this time, not realizing that the ‘meteor’ that had crashed down in the middle of the battle was none other than the defeated Heaven!

Li Xuantu was the first to speak. “Come on; the battle is over, but we still have many things to handle.”

He had been extremely nervous over this battle, but in the end, they had managed to overcome the dangers and defeat Heaven.

“Haha, truly the Child of Destruction! To think that even Heaven would lose! There’s no one left to bind me in this world! It’s about time I took my leave!” Luo Supreme said. He had expended a lot in this battle, and had even been badly injured, but it had all been worth it. Without the threat from Heaven, he could do many more things.

Everyone began to turn and leave. This battle had essentially come to its end.

The Demonic Emperor Old Man was the last to leave. He saw that Wang Chong was still standing there, looking at the burning flames in the crater. He couldn’t help but move up and ask, “Chong-er, what’s wrong?”

Wang Chong frowned and said, “For some reason… I feel like something isn’t right.”

The battle was over, and everything should have been settled, but Wang Chong’s eyes were twitching uneasily, and it felt like there was something he still needed to do.

…Or perhaps something he had forgotten about.

“Oh? In what way?” the Demonic Emperor Old Man said.

“Heh, it’s nothing. Maybe I’m overthinking things.”

Wang Chong shook his head and smiled in self-mockery.

Turning around, Wang Chong began to walk away, intending to gather up the army. But as he turned around, there was a rumble and a flash of lightning, and then a voice rang out in his mind.

‘The battle isn’t over, and the one who loses won’t necessarily be me! You were not the only one preparing in these last three years!’

Wang Chong shivered as he came to a stop.

Wang Chong had said these words to Heaven. Of course, this was not what had surprised Wang Chong. Rather, it was something that he had not discovered all this time.

The Celestial Army, the men in black, the eight Doomsday Behemoths… and also Essence Supreme, Grand Supreme, and Radiance Supreme—these had been available since three years ago. For the last three years, he had secluded himself and had been diligently cultivating while the human world had been expanding its army, all in preparation for this war. But what had Heaven been doing these last three years?

According to that prophecy, he was Heaven’s bane, the one who would ultimately end Heaven’s life. Had Heaven really sat around and done nothing?

Or had he really just spent the last three years training up men in black on islands?

It was strange! Very strange!

Wang Chong’s eyes wildly twitched, and he felt even more that he had forgotten something, something very important.

Heaven possessed perhaps the best talent of all time, and he was acknowledged as the strongest man since the dawn of history. This wasn’t his style at all.

Moreover…

‘At our level of cultivation, our souls and bodies are immortal, and we can even give up our bodies at any time. In the end, a physical body is merely a container for the soul. Don’t you have three Divine Embryo clones? Can you not even understand this truth?’

Heaven’s words to him in that miniature capital once more rumbled in his mind.

Wang Chong’s face darkened, his expression turning nastier and nastier. He suddenly had a bad feeling, but at this moment, he suddenly recalled something.

Doomsday Insignias!

There were seven Doomsday Insignias in all, and he had used up two of them for his opposite Celestial Palaces. However, Heaven should have had three other Doomsday Insignias.

These Doomsday Insignias were formed from the foundational energy of a world. Other than with moves like the one Wang Chong had used, it should have been impossible to destroy them.

These items were extremely valuable, and Heaven would not have given them to anyone else. If this was all true, then those three Doomsday Insignias should have been on Heaven.

This thought made Wang Chong suddenly turn around, his Psychic Energy surging toward the burning form of the Celestial Emperor within the giant crater.

But as he inspected the remains, his heart sank.

Nothing!

There was no trace of a Doomsday Insignia’s energy on Heaven’s body!

Wang Chong felt his body turn ice-cold.

“Haha, as expected, I couldn’t hide it from you!” A familiar voice majestically rang out in everyone’s ears, and then a massive bolt of lightning flashed across the skies.

This sudden development drew everyone’s attention.

“Wang Chong, it seems that you really are that Child of Prophecy. But in this way, Our destiny should have been fulfilled!”

The Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, Li Xuantu, and even Unity Supreme and Luo Supreme trembled in shock and came to a stop.

Heaven!

It was Heaven’s voice!

Everyone nastily scowled.

“How could this be!?”

Luo Supreme turned around and trembled, gritting his teeth. He didn’t dare to believe his ears, but that voice truly was Heaven’s.

Boom!

Before anyone could react, space trembled and the earth groaned, the entire continent beginning to shudder. Bzzz! A powerful ripple of spacetime energy swept out.

Bang!

Not far from the group, a massive spacetime passage opened, with a diameter of ten-some li.

Neigh!

There was a loud neighing as dark, chaotic, decaying, and cold death energy flooded out of the passage. Crack! Everyone could sense the temperature of the steppe plunging, and around the spacetime passage, frost began to form on the ground and swiftly creep forward.

A moment later, red-eyed figures in rusted armor, atop horses from which yellow-brown fluid dripped, emerged from the passage.

These warhorses were already in the process of decay, their bodies covered in holes through which one could see the other side.

Their bodies were lifeless and brimming with the energy of death.

Even so, these warhorses could still move, carrying tens of thousands of riders out of a terrifying world.

Clang!

Gray-white halos thrummed beneath their feet, spreading that death energy and cold across the world.

Buzz!

While others might not have recognized these figures, Wang Chong instantly felt like he had been struck by lightning.

The otherworldly invaders!

Those figures that were emerging in a seemingly endless stream from the spacetime passage were none other than the otherworldly invaders who haunted Wang Chong’s nightmares.

“Impossible! Simply impossible!”

Wang Chong’s body trembled in shock, his face turning ashen, and he could barely stay standing.

It was impossible. The Doomsday Altar had yet to be erected, and he had already destroyed two of the seven Doomsday Insignias. The otherworldly invaders should have already lost their opportunity to enter the human world. This wasn’t possible!

“Wang Chong, you have truly made Us look at you in a different light. We did not think that you would truly be able to defeat Our physical body. Alas, We remain on a different level from you. This time, We will make you totally despair!” Heaven’s callous voice resounded through the world.

Rumble!

Rumbling came from all directions, and with each one, another ‘gate’ to the other world was opened, otherworldly invaders flooding in through them. That surging death energy battered against this world, dropping the temperature lower and lower.

“Ah!”

Cries of alarm came from all sides.

“Take up formation!”

“Take up formation!”

Panicked voices cried out. At this moment, even Su Zhengchen had paled.

Buzz!

A moment later, in the northern reaches of the continent, the fabric of space shattered like glass, and everyone was able to see the visage of the other world.

The otherworldly invaders!

A vast and innumerable army of otherworldly invaders spanned this world. All of them were armed and waiting, ready to cross space to enter the human world at any moment. And in the middle of this infinite army, everyone could see a giant throne of bones, standing more than one hundred feet high. Atop this throne sat a giant otherworldly invader, his body purplish-black and covered in thick armor. The energy radiating from his body was as vast as the oceans and pierced the firmament.

Everyone could sense a boundless death energy from this figure, even more powerful and terrifying than Heaven’s.

Countless otherworldly invaders were prostrate around him, treating him like a god. But even so, in those red and emotionless eyes, everyone could sense a familiar energy.

It was Heaven’s energy!

“Impossible! What did you do?”

Luo Supreme stared at that figure and gnashed his teeth, his face twisting.

Whoooah!

At almost the same time, the fleeing Celestial Army and men in black stopped in a daze. It was clear that they also did not know what was going on.

“Haha, nothing but some ants. No matter how many times you try, how many opportunities you are given, you will always be restricted to your physical bodies. You will never understand the foundation of the universe, the source of the Great Dao!”

The massive enthroned figure slowly began to rise and walk upon the air.

As he walked forward, his body began to shrink, and a moment later, the form of the Celestial Emperor once more appeared before them.

Buzz!

Ripples spread out before him as he strode forward, and a moment later, he had crossed the spatial barrier between the worlds and appeared above the Turkic steppe.

Rumble!

As Heaven appeared, lightning flashed in the skies, and the fabric of space distorted as if it was unable to endure Heaven’s terrifying energy. At the same time, the warhorses of the human army neighed in fear and began to back away.

Whether it was Wang Chong or Unity Supreme, all of them were exhausted from the battle. But this Heaven, adorned in black armor, was just as strong as he was at his peak, or perhaps even stronger.

“Careful!”

Everyone turned grim. This was all beyond their expectations. Wang Chong, Unity Supreme, Luo Supreme, Su Zhengchen… all of them gathered together and prepared for battle.

“Haha, Wang Chong, relax. I won’t kill you that quickly. Before I attack, there’s an old friend who wants to meet you!”

Heaven placed his hands behind his back and smirked at Wang Chong.

Buzz!

A few moments later, a new soul energy appeared in the black energy roiling within Heaven’s body, one that was full of anger and hatred.

“Wang Chong, do you recognize me?!” A scratchy and venomous voice rang out.

Wang Chong had not recognized him at first, but a moment later, Wang Chong, Su Zhengchen, Zhang Shougui, Bahram, and Luo Supreme all grimaced.

An Lushan!

In the war of the northeast, these people had all interacted with this rebel leader and had an extremely deep impression of him. As for Luo Supreme, this was his own flesh and blood.

But this An Lushan had clearly changed. In some ways, he appeared like a completely different person.

“Impossible! In the battle of Youzhou, I killed you myself!”

Zhang Shougui was stunned. He had never imagined that An Lushan would still be alive.

But An Lushan completely ignored Zhang Shougui. He only had eyes for Wang Chong.

“Hahaha, you didn’t expect this, right? Wang Chong, we meet again! Did you think you had gotten away from me? You destroyed everything of mine, so I will destroy everything of yours!

“What does it matter if you were reborn? In the end, you will still be annihilated at my hands!

“This is how it was in the last life, and you can’t escape this fate in this life either! This is your destiny!”

A black fog seethed next to Heaven, and within the fog was a pair of crimson eyes, burning with hatred.

“This is impossible!”

While others couldn’t recognize them for what they were, Wang Chong instantly did.

An Lushan!

Not the An Lushan of this life, but the one from before his reincarnation, the one from the other world, the An Lushan that he had brought down together with him by detonating his body!

Wang Chong was overcome with shock.

“Hahaha, you finally recognized me! Surprised? I also came to this world.

“This time, I want you to see with your own eyes as I once more turn everything to dust. I want you to see all your efforts go up in smoke. This is my revenge on you!”

An Lushan madly laughed, ecstatic from unleashing all of his accumulated anger and hatred.
