378: Chapter 378 The End

"No need to feel pity for Wanmu; your end will be the same," one of the Esteemed Lords sneered.

Boom!

Immediately after, several Esteemed Lords joined forces to launch an offensive against Boundless Great Venerable and the others.

This was by no means an evenly matched battle, but a one-sided hunt!

Boundless Great Venerable, Giant Rock Great Venerable, Storm Great Venerable, and Blazing Bright Great Venerable—only four Immortal Emperors—had to face the powerful encirclement and suppression of eleven Eerie Venerable Lords. They had almost no power to resist.

After just a few rounds, several of them had already suffered various injuries.

As for Aili, she was targeted by the most terrifying Earth Venerable, and her situation was equally grim.

On the other side, Wuliang Heaven, which was continuously leaking Spiritual Qi, was also facing a frantic attack from the Hundred Eerie Clans.

The scene was exceptionally tragic. Divinities fell like grass, blood dyed the sky red, and the number of dead Souls on the battlefield reached a terrifying amount almost instantly.

"Heavens, is destruction truly fated?!"

Storm Great Venerable cried out in grief while clutching his severed arm; he was besieged by three Eerie Venerable Lords and was in critical danger.

Countless living beings within the heavens showed expressions of grief and indignation. Was the land of survival, earned through the blood and sacrifice of countless ancestors across the heavens, going to be lost in their hands today?

Chila!

Suddenly, accompanied by a clanging blade hum, a burning head flew high into the air.

"Blazing Bright!"

Boundless Great Venerable and Giant Rock Great Venerable cried out in sorrow, for that was the head of Blazing Bright Great Venerable.

Blazing Bright Great Venerable had fallen!

Qiang!

Before they could even mourn the fall of their comrade, another ear-piercing sound of a spear tearing through the wild winds appeared.

Storm Great Venerable had also perished!

"It's your turn now!"

One of the Esteemed Lords sneered, holding a blood-stained spear in his hand. It was he who had just dealt the fatal blow to Storm Great Venerable, and now he was targeting the remaining Boundless Great Venerable and Giant Rock Great Venerable.

Boom!

The auras of the eleven Esteemed Lords pressed down together, terrifyingly powerful. The two Immortal Emperors could not withstand it and spat blood as they were sent flying.

Then, that Esteemed Lord threw the spear in his hand, turning it into an eternal meteor that pierced through Wuliang Heaven.

In an instant, mountains collapsed and seas surged, the world exploded, and the entire Wuliang Heaven disintegrated with a roar. Countless living beings lost the protection of the heavenly barrier, were exposed to the pressure of the Esteemed Lord, and wailed as they turned to ash.

Boundless Great Venerable showed grief and indignation, unable to bear watching the crumbling Wuliang Heaven. At this point, even as the strongest Great Venerable of the Nine Heavens, he was powerless to change the outcome. He couldn't save anyone, and even his own life was hanging by a thread.

Hua!

But just as the beings of the heavens were wailing in misery and despair, a golden beam of light suddenly shot from the distant edge of the Universe, illuminating the shattered Wuliang Heaven.

Following that, everyone was surprised to find that the disintegrating Wuliang Heaven stopped breaking apart. Under the illumination of the light, the shattered fragments of stars continuously flew back, gradually piecing themselves back together.

"I have a Heavenly Heart, long locked by the dust of toil..."

"Now the dust is gone and light is born, illuminating and breaking through ten thousand star systems!"

At the same time, a man's whisper, sounding as if it had crossed endless time and space, slowly drifted from the edge of the Universe.

"Who!?"

Everyone was greatly shocked and turned their heads one after another.

At the end of the Universe, a golden path extended rapidly, and a tall, slender young figure walked from the end of the path.

With each step the young figure took, the time and space of the entire world seemed to pause briefly. His pace was not fast, but it felt as if each step covered an era, giving people a sense of being in another world.

In a short while, that figure stepped onto the golden path and arrived before everyone.

"It's you! You're still alive!?"

Seeing the figure on the golden path, Nine Nether Esteemed Lord, Black Flag Esteemed Lord, and Great Hand Esteemed Lord all had their expressions change drastically.

"This is impossible!" Nirvana Venerable Lord also shouted, losing his composure.

For the figure appearing before them was none other than the Lin Yang they had personally killed that day!

Moreover, on that day, they had watched with their own eyes as Lin Yang's Primordial Spirit was annihilated and his Physical Body fell; he was as dead as could be!

How could he possibly be resurrected?!

"Lin Yang!"

"Brother Lin Yang!"

On the other side, Li Shiya, Shen Youchu, Mu Yunxi, Nangong Xueli, Aili, and the others were also full of disbelief. They had repeatedly checked Lin Yang's remains, and truly not a single Soul fragment was left, which was why they had buried him unwillingly.

How could a person whose Soul had completely died appear before them alive again?

This was simply too incredible!

The world was silent. Everyone stared in disbelief at the figure they thought would never appear again.

Nirvana Venerable Lord, Nine Nether Esteemed Lord, Black Flag Esteemed Lord, Great Hand Esteemed Lord, and the others had gloomy expressions. It seemed they had truly miscalculated that day; they should have destroyed his Physical Body along with his Primordial Spirit after killing it.

However, at that time, their attention had been drawn by Aili, who had awakened her Heaven-Defying Divine Power, which gave Lin Yang the chance to "resurrect."

"No matter how you came back to life, today you will fall for the second time! And this time, you will not have another chance to return from the dead!" Nirvana Venerable Lord spoke coldly.

Now that the destruction of the Nine Heavens was a foregone conclusion, the Immortal Emperors were either dead or injured, and there was no longer any possibility of turning the tide.

And they had twelve Esteemed Lords here. What waves could a person who died and luckily came back to life possibly stir up?

"Old fool, for destroying my Lingxiao Heaven, I've wanted to kill you for a long time!"

Lin Yang's eyes glared, shooting out like two sharp swords.

"Argh..."

Nirvana Venerable Lord's eyes bled as he retreated in terror.

"What!?"

The other Esteemed Lords were shocked. A single glance could injure Nirvana Venerable Lord's eyes? After returning from the dead, had this person's strength actually progressed to such an extent?

"Watch out! He is Dao Exhausted!"

Only Earth Venerable, from the moment Lin Yang appeared, had a solemn gaze. At this moment, he confirmed the thoughts in his heart and warned the others.

"Dao Exhausted!?" The Esteemed Lords were greatly shocked.

The so-called Dao Exhausted refers to the path one cultivates having reached absolute Perfection, with no further room for progress.

Of course, this is still within the Immortal Emperor Realm, but it is an Immortal Emperor who can no longer advance—the limit of this Realm!

One must know that although the number of Immortal Emperor-level beings is very scarce, after endless ages of accumulation, there are still a few.

However, Dao Exhausted Level Immortal Emperors are few and far between.

Throughout history, there have only been four Dao Exhausted level beings: the Dragon God of old, Reincarnation Heavenly Venerable, as well as Heavenly Venerable and Earth Venerable.

And now, a fifth Dao Exhausted level being has appeared!

"Another Dao Exhausted Level Immortal Emperor has actually been born!"

"The Nine Heavens truly has unending Luck..."

The Esteemed Lords lamented. They thought that with Earth Venerable's Awakening this time, destroying the Nine Heavens would be an easy task.

They never expected that at this final moment, another Dao Exhausted Level Immortal Emperor would appear in the Nine Heavens. Truly...

"Dao Exhausted Level Immortal Emperor!"

On the side of the Nine Heavens, the surviving Limitless Heavenly Venerate and Giant Rock Heavenly Venerable, upon learning that Lin Yang had secretly promoted to the Dao Exhausted level during these ten thousand years of disappearance, felt the fire of hope that had already been extinguished in their hearts suddenly ignite once more.
