157: New Emperor vs. Old Emperor

"You...what...what kind of monster are you?!"

Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's voice, which was filled with supreme majesty, for the first time, carried an uncontrollable...tremble!

He couldn't understand!

This had completely overturned all the knowledge he had accumulated over tens of thousands of years!

"Monster?"

Lin Ye slowly shook his head, a mocking and pitiful arc appeared on his evil and handsome face.

"No."

"I am just a...revenger who saw through all the 'flaws'."

"Revenge?!" Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor sounded as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He forcefully suppressed the surging waves in his heart, and a towering rage, like that of an ant being provoked, once again rose on his face, which had already turned slightly pale from fear!

"Just you?! An ant from the Lower Realm who just stole a trace of 'Emperor's' aura?!"

"Do you think you can really...contend with this Emperor?!"

He no longer dared to be complacent in the slightest!

A roar filled with endless brutality and killing intent suddenly erupted from his mouth!

Boom—!

His vast God Emperor-level Divine Power, which had been proven for tens of thousands of years, at this moment, boiled without reservation!

"Cang Xuan Divine Art—Myriad Law Starfall!"

He suddenly raised his hands and fiercely tore at the Void Realm!

"Chi la la!"

The dark sky, which had been filled with endless Chaos, was actually torn into billions of hideous cracks by his single tear!

Immediately after!

One by one, brilliant stars, as large as mountains and burning with raging Divine Fire, fell like rain, carrying terrifying Divine Might capable of instantly smashing even Half-God powerhouses into blood mist, wildly plummeting from the cracks!

Dense and inescapable! There was no way to avoid it!

This was the true strength of a God Emperor-level powerhouse!

Words become law! Control Reincarnation!

He actually forcefully invoked the Origin of the stars above the Nine Heavens, intending to completely obliterate Lin Ye along with this ancient Divine Temple!

"Imperial Father..."

In the distance, Ji Yueyao, who had already been suffocated by this world-ending Divine Might, had nothing but endless...despair on her beautiful face!

She knew that in the face of such a vast and supreme Divine Ability, like the might of heaven, any struggle, any resistance, was already...futile!

However, amidst this "meteor shower" that could make all living things despair, Lin Ye, at the center of the storm, still maintained that calm, unruffled expression on his evil and handsome face.

He gently pointed a finger towards the endless sea of stars that was about to descend.

"The Cang Xuan God Emperor Scripture, first layer, Star Guiding Art..."

He spoke slowly, his voice calm and devoid of emotion, yet it exploded like a final decree deep within Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's Divine Soul!

"Its momentum is vast, but...it is showy and impractical."

"Its method is profound, but...full of flaws!"

"To use Divine Thought to invoke the Origin of the Nine Heavens stars is a supreme wondrous method. Unfortunately...your treacherous ancestor only learned the superficialities and never comprehended...what 'control' truly means!"

"True control is..."

A cold indifference, like a god looking down on an ant, suddenly flashed in Lin Ye's eyes!

"—To be used by me!"

Before he finished speaking!

His joined fingertips suddenly trembled!

Om—!

A terrifying Dao charm, completely different from Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's, yet seemingly from the same Origin, suddenly erupted from Lin Ye's fingertips!

That was the brand new Cang Xuan God Emperor Scripture, which he had "idled" for a full thousand years, and which had already been devoured, fused, perfected, and even...surpassed by the God-Demon Prison Suppressing Body!

He pointed his finger, and the terrifying sea of stars, which had been filled with endless destructive aura, suddenly stiffened without warning!

Immediately after!

The billions of terrifying stars that were supposed to completely crush Lin Ye actually changed direction as if guided by some mysterious force!

Like...a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

Or like...ten thousand birds returning to the forest!

They turned to Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor, striking him...in retaliation!

"No...!!!"

Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor let out a hysterical scream filled with endless fear and despair!

He couldn't understand!

Why...would the fundamental Cultivation Technique he relied on to prove the Dao betray him?!

However, he no longer had time to think.

Because the billions of terrifying starfalls, capable of completely shattering heaven and earth, had already...arrived!

"Boom!"

The starfall exploded on Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's majestic body!

His Nine Dragon Golden Robe, which had been filled with supreme majesty, instantly turned into ashes!

His "Emperor's Body," which had been tempered by Divine Power to be indestructible, shattered inch by inch!

"Pfft—!"

A mouthful of scorching purple-gold Divine Blood spurted wildly from his mouth!

He himself, like a kite with a broken string, was fiercely blasted away by his strongest Divine Ability!

"Bang!"

He heavily crashed onto the bronze giant gate, which had been filled with endless profound and ancient aura, causing that ancient Divine Gate, which had been closed for billions of years, to...tremble slightly!

"Cough...cough cough..."

He struggled to climb out of the human-shaped crater, his face, which had been filled with supreme majesty, had lost all its previous color!

His pale golden eyes were filled with endless confusion and...emptiness!

"Why...why do you know...this Emperor's Cultivation Technique?!" He asked with a hoarse, broken voice, filled with disbelief.

"Your Cultivation Technique?"

Lin Ye slowly, step by step, walked out from the swirling dust.

His black and white Divine Robe was still spotless.

His evil and handsome face was still...calm and unruffled.

"No," he slowly shook his head, his dark eyes, half divine and half demonic, filled with endless mockery, "This is not your Cultivation Technique."

"This is merely a...fragment that your Heavenly Profound Imperial Family's ancestor stole from the Chaos God-Demon lineage."

"No...you're lying!" Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor roared hysterically, as if his deepest pain had been poked, "The Cang Xuan God Emperor Scripture! It is a supreme Divine Cultivation Technique bestowed by the 'Lord of Myriad Gods,' the victor of the ancient Divine War! It is the most perfect...in this Universe!"

"Perfect?"

Lin Ye smiled.

That smile was so cold, and yet so...pitiful.

"What you call 'perfect,' in my eyes..."

He slowly raised his right hand.

"—Is vulnerable!"

Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle tip!

Without thinking, he was about to forcefully burn his Divine Spark and use instant teleportation to escape!

However, Lin Ye's movements were faster than his!

His seemingly ordinary, fair, and slender right hand had already transformed into a black and white Divine Fist filled with endless suppression and destructive aura!

"The Cang Xuan God Emperor Scripture, second layer, Divine Power circulation, must pass through the 'Tian Shu', 'Yu Heng', and 'Yao Guang' Divine Acupoints to reach...Major Achievement..."

Lin Ye's voice, like the whisper of the God of Death, slowly sounded in his ear.

"Unfortunately..."

"That is your biggest...flaw!"

"Prison Suppressing Divine Fist!"

He fiercely struck Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's Dantian and Qi Sea, which had been wide open due to his shock!

That was precisely...the location of the 'Tian Shu' Divine Acupoint!

"No—!"

Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor felt a terrifying power, filled with endless destruction and suppression, like a breached Nine Nether River, rushing into his Qi Sea with destructive force!

His originally vast and boundless "Cang Xuan Starry Sky" was instantly completely submerged by that utterly domineering black and white Divine Light!

His "Cang Xuan Divine Spark," which had floated in the center of his Qi Sea, had been proven for tens of thousands of years, and was indestructible, was even...struck head-on...as if by an invisible, terrifying giant hammer from the ancient Gods and Demons!

"Crack..."

A very subtle sound rang out.

Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor's body suddenly stiffened!

All the light in his pale golden eyes, which had been filled with endless terror and unwillingness, completely...dimmed at this moment.

He slowly lowered his head, looking in disbelief at his still intact chest.

Immediately, dense, spiderweb-like black cracks, without warning, wildly...spread outwards from his Dantian!

"Crack...crack crack..."

Finally, under the gazes of Ji Yueyao, Feng Xinglie, and others, filled with endless horror and disbelief!

That arrogant, supreme existence who had ruled this Divine Realm for tens of thousands of years...Heavenly Profound Divine Emperor!

His towering figure, tens of thousands of feet tall, actually..."bang"...exploded like a glazed statue hit by a giant hammer!

Turning into...scattered...golden specks of light!

Vanishing into thin air!
