215: Chapter 214 Death Battle

"Can you only run?"

Ye Xiu took a step forward and blocked Progenitor Yuan's path of escape.

The Realm reached by burning his Origin was so powerful that even he was somewhat surprised; in this Realm, almost all Moves and skills were merely auxiliary abilities.

There was little difference between them and an attack blasted out with pure raw power.

Some abilities that were originally extremely mystical...

...became pale and weak within the Domain of the Emperor, as illusory as flowers in a mirror or the moon in the water.

To an Emperor, they weren't of much use.

Perhaps, one could say they were completely useless.

However...

...the Heavenly Emperor Fist was still useful. This peerless boxing technique, originating from the Heavenly Emperor Sutra, seemed capable of strengthening itself alongside the evolution of one's own power.

It was strong when one was weak.

And when one was strong, it remained incomparably powerful.

Even at the level of the Emperor Realm, such a peerless boxing technique remained Ye Xiu's strongest trump card.

It was unlike the blade techniques of Sword Lord Li Si.

Those had been completely phased out; even if executed, they weren't much different from his ordinary attacks.

Even the Zhu Xian Style...

...could only increase in power by a limited amount within this Domain.

Perhaps...

...the main reason for all this was the upper limit of the Cultivation Technique.

The Heavenly Emperor Sutra was a technique created by the Heavenly Emperor.

The complete Heavenly Emperor Sutra was definitely capable of supporting a Cultivator all the way to the Taboo Emperor Realm.

This allowed the Heavenly Emperor Fist to still possess absolute offensive power within the Emperor Domain.

"Jiang Ming... you're looking for death."

Progenitor Yuan, like the Progenitor, had been beaten into a rage by the continuous bombardment.

It stopped fleeing.

Instead, it condensed ominous power and began to confront Ye Xiu head-on.

To this...

...Ye Xiu only responded with a cold sneer.

The fist light illuminated the world. In this Boundary Sea area, the destructive power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist was incredibly powerful.

As the fist light appeared, countless Domains shattered one after another.

"Hmph... even if you possess his boxing technique, so what? You are not him, after all. Kill!"

Progenitor Yuan was covered in the intent of death, and there were spots of blood on its ancient armor.

It held a giant axe in its hand.

It engaged in an extremely tragic struggle with Ye Xiu.

The collision of fist and axe.

Every clash would stir up monstrous waves within this Boundary Sea.

Layers upon layers of the Dead Realm shattered one after another.

The two fought all the way from the Eastern Region to the Southern Region, and then from the Southern Region to the Western Region.

The Boundary Sea was in turmoil.

The battles everywhere caused large-scale collapses across the entire Boundary Sea.

Thousands of years passed.

Ye Xiu's hair at his temples had turned gray, and his originally world-shining great power had grown extremely dim. His Origin, after thousands of years of burning, was nearly exhausted.

"Cough... Jiang Ming... in the end, it is I who have won."

Progenitor Yuan laughed miserably.

After thousands of years of fierce fighting, its weapon had exploded into fragments, and its body was battered and broken. If the fight continued, there was definitely a risk of falling.

But the opponent's condition was even more tragic than its own.

He probably wouldn't last more than a few years.

Ye Xiu gazed coldly at Progenitor Yuan, just as he was preparing to give it another Heavenly Emperor Fist.

A streak of immortal light cut through the Boundary Sea.

It split the entire Northern Region in two.

"No..."

Amidst a wail of sorrow...

...the Progenitor suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of blood, and was completely obliterated by the immortal light.

In the Northern Region.

Emperor Teng's figure had already begun to fade; his Origin power had been burned to nothingness by that previous strike.

In this final moment of his life...

...he looked toward the direction of the Immortal Realm. After a long time, he finally spoke toward the Western Region: "Worthy brother, if there is a chance, please greet the Heavenly Emperor for me."

As his words fell...

...Emperor Teng gradually faded away, completely disappearing into the Boundary Sea, without leaving even a trace of his Origin behind.

In the Western Region.

Ye Xiu watched Emperor Teng disappear and sighed in his heart.

As a figure from the same era as the Heavenly Emperor, perhaps Emperor Teng's greatest regret was not being able to fight the Heavenly Emperor once more when his combat power was at its Peak.

Would he be able to see the Heavenly Emperor?

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

His situation wasn't much better than Emperor Teng's. The reason the other thought he could see the Heavenly Emperor was likely because he assumed that even if his Origin power burned out, he wouldn't completely perish.

After reaching the Emperor Realm...

...one's life level would evolve once more, and on the basis of Origin power, a more Advanced true spirit attribute would be born.

As long as the true spirit was not destroyed, one would return again.

But would a person reincarnated from a true spirit...

...still be the original person?

Whoosh...

Progenitor Yuan was afraid. It moved extremely fast, instantly crossing endless Domains, wanting to return to the Ancient Ship and leave this dangerous place.

Since its birth in the Ancestral Land, it had experienced countless great battles.

The most tragic times were even more insane than here.

But in the Ancestral Land area, they, these Eerie Ancestors, would not die completely.

Possessing the attribute of infinite resurrection, they did not fear death.

But today...

...the Progenitor had died.

The ominous power belonging to the Progenitor had completely vanished, which meant that even the Ancestral Land could not bring the Progenitor back to life again.

"Wanting to leave? Heh... if Emperor Teng can kill one Ancestor, this King can too."

Ye Xiu gave a violent roar.

All his remaining Origin power was ignited. At this moment, the glow soared to the heavens, and the Heavenly Emperor Fist roared forth.

The Boundary Sea shook.

The Western Region was collapsing.

Progenitor Yuan, already heavily injured, seeing such might, how could it dare to resist head-on?

Its figure turned into black mist, trying to escape into the Ancient Ship.

But with the appearance of the fist light...

...the mist Progenitor Yuan had turned into only had time to send out a strange message before being completely evaporated by the fist light.

Hum...

The Ancient Ship vibrated.

Following Progenitor Yuan's dying transmission...

...the pool of water connecting to the Eerie Ancestral Land seemed to have received some kind of stimulation.

An extremely terrifying ominous power rose from the pool water; this situation was exactly the same as when the Progenitor and Progenitor Yuan had descended.

Ye Xiu looked at the monstrous death light surging from the Ancient Ship.

He sighed to the suddenly appearing Star Emperor: "I'm sorry... this King has done his best."

The Star Emperor's expression shifted.

Finally, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had taken on the appearance most familiar to Ye Xiu.

Silence.

A voiceless silence.

Ji Xingyue looked at the gradually fading Ye Xiu and revealed an extremely forced smile: "General, perhaps these eyes of mine can bring a sliver of life to the General."

As she spoke...

...her hands had already removed the Double Pupils and sent them into Ye Xiu's eyes.

"Xingyue, you know that once the Origin is completely burned out, there is no chance."

Ye Xiu did not fuse with the Double Pupils.

Though this thing was precious, it was likely far from enough to pull himself back from oblivion.

The Origin dissipates, but the true spirit is not destroyed.

If he truly could be revived again, perhaps he would no longer be himself.

With a hint of regret...

...Ye Xiu looked at Ji Xingyue, stepped forward, and gently held her: "If there is a next life, this King will certainly not fail you."
