393: Lu Chen: It's my turn to make an appearance!

In despair, Haotian no longer held back any trump cards.

The Origin that had been dormant in his body for a hundred thousand years erupted with a roar!

Rumble—!!!

Heaven and earth overturned, and the sea of clouds rolled back!

A Nine Heavens giant Dragon, spanning ten thousand li, shot up from his body!

Its Dragon head touched the sky, its Dragon tail swept the ground, and its twin pupils were like the sun and moon falling together; its left eye reflected Lingxiao Hall, and its right eye mirrored the Nine Heavens;

This was his true form—the Nine Heavens Ancestral Dragon! Legend had it that it was formed from the first wisp of order when Chaos first opened, and it was the ultimate vessel of the Immortal Court's Luck!

For a hundred thousand years, he had never revealed it, but today, he was forced into a desperate situation!

"I don't care what Heavenly Dao!" The giant Dragon roared, its voice turning into a tangible storm that blew away the scorched earth for ten thousand li around. "I, Haotian, am the only God of this world!!!"

With an open maw, it spewed a world-destroying Dragon Breath that was a Fusion of Territory Suppression Law, Immortal Court Luck, and Myriad Realms Origin! Wherever it passed, even the Void Realm was ignited!

However—

That sword still pierced through calmly.

There was no light, no sound, no roar of Law collisions.

Its mere existence made all resistance seem ridiculous.

Pfft.

A soft sound, like a needle pricking a morning dewdrop.

The Sword of Heavenly Dao pierced through the giant Dragon's heart—the Divine Heart forged from the core of the Nine Heavens.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still.

Haotian's massive Dragon body froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He tried to mobilize the last trace of Divine Power to reconstruct his Divine Soul, but found that the Foundation of his existence was being formatted by a higher-dimensional power—not destroyed, but erased.

His memories, ambitions, schemes, and the Dao fruit accumulated over a hundred thousand years... disintegrated silently like a sandcastle the moment they touched heavenly dao energy.

"I... am... God..." His lips moved slightly, making out his last words with difficulty.

Boom—!

The Nine Heavens giant Dragon crashed to the ground, creating a bottomless crater.

Dragon blood surged like a river, but turned to ash the moment it touched the ground, leaving no trace behind.

The once invincible Immortal Emperor Haotian, the supreme existence who ruled the Three Realms, devoured the Myriad Realms, and ascended to the Domain Suppressing Realm, was thus—instantly killed by a single sword.

Heaven and earth were silent.

An Immortal Emperor, thus fell.

The twelve zodiac animals' Chen Long was dumbfounded: "What the f*ck?! The Immortal Emperor was actually killed, so what are we doing here? Run, quick!!!"

Chen Long led the remaining army to flee immediately!!

The Five Great Emperors, Emperor Qin, and others were injured, so they had no time to mind Chen Long.

Taichu Heavenly Venerate floated in the Void Realm, taking one last look at this Spirit Realm where he had lived for tens of thousands of years, the Spirit Realm he had painstakingly managed. He was filled with emotion, but he had no regrets. By now, he already knew the truth of the world.

The entire world was created for Heavenly Dao's Cultivation, and those seventy-two Heavenly Dao fragments were also for it. He had the chance to experience the feeling of Heavenly Dao for a second, so he could die without regrets.

Taichu Heavenly Venerate waved goodbye to the Five Great Emperors, Emperor Qin, and others for the last time: "My destiny is about to end. The rest is up to you."

After a pause, Taichu Heavenly Venerate suddenly showed a strange smile: "Oh right, you must be careful next!!!"

Boom—!!!

The seventy-two Heavenly Dao fragments simultaneously detonated within Taichu Heavenly Venerate's body!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a soft hum, like a sigh.

The next instant, his body, along with his Divine Soul, will, and memories, all turned into pure dust of light, dissipating in the wind.

A true man for a second, the founder of the Spirit Realm, a peerless expert who reached the heavens—thus fell.

Lu Chen's heart was bleeding, oh, that was all mine! Damn it!!

The dust settled, but no one mourned.

Emperor Qin, Shen Wuya, and Ling Tian exchanged glances. There was no sadness in their eyes, but rather a glint of cunning and shrewdness.

They simultaneously shot up, their figures like three meteors, rushing towards the place where Taichu disappeared!

"Heavenly Dao fragments! Even if only a speck of residue remains, it's enough to elevate me to Godhood!" Emperor Qin roared in his heart.

"As long as I refine one, I can rebuild the martial soul civilization!" Fire burned in Shen Wuya's eyes.

"If I can obtain a fragment, I will transcend the Heavens!" Ling Tian's killing intent boiled.

However—

There was nothing.

Not even ash was left.

The Heavenly Dao fragments self-destructed so thoroughly, as if they had never existed.

The three hovered in mid-air, looking at each other, their faces filled with regret and unwillingness.

Emperor Qin gave a bitter smile: "If we had known that the broken Small World itself contained Heavenly Dao imprints, we could have directly refined the world. Why would we worry about not becoming a God?"

"What's the use of saying that now?" Ling Tian gritted his teeth. "That idiot Taichu, he'd rather self-destruct than share a bit with us! What an old stubborn fool!"

Just as everyone was in despair—

Buzz!

Immortal Emperor Haotian's massive Nine Heavens giant Dragon corpse suddenly erupted with nine layers of dazzling divine light!

A nine heavens dragon essence, a hundred zhang in diameter, slowly rose, suspended above the wasteland!

This Essence was like the core of a star, within which flowed the Origin power accumulated by the Immortal Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, the Foundation of the Nine Heavens Law, and the complete Dao fruit of the Domain Suppressing Realm! Even more terrifying was that it also incorporated the Myriad Realms Spirit Devouring Array's hub, which Haotian controlled in his lifetime—whoever refined this Essence would not only instantly ascend to the Domain Suppressing Realm but also gain control over the entire Nine Heavens, becoming the new Immortal Emperor!

Almost without any pause—

Emperor Qin, Shen Wuya, and Ling Tian shot up like three bolts of lightning tearing through the sky, rushing towards the nine heavens dragon essence suspended above the wasteland!

At the same time, the Five Great Emperors soared into the sky in the same instant!

White Emperor took the lead, his Azure Dragon battle armor tattered but still majestic, and he sternly rebuked: "The nine heavens dragon essence is ours! You personally promised that if we helped you kill Haotian, the Nine Heavens would belong to the Five Departments! Would a dignified expert who reaches the heavens also go back on his word?!"

"Hahaha!" Ling Tian laughed wildly, his figure already within a hundred zhang of the Dragon Essence, his eyes full of mockery. "White Emperor, you've lived for a hundred thousand years, and you still believe such nonsense? On the battlefield, where is there an alliance? Whoever snatches it, it's theirs!"

"Indeed." Shen Wuya coldly interjected, "If not for us triggering the Sword Intent of Heavenly Dao, how would Haotian have fallen? The one with the greatest merit should naturally receive the greatest fortune!"

Before his words finished, the Five Great Emperors had already formed a Five Elements battle formation. Five great totems of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth shot into the sky, forcefully sealing the space around the Dragon Essence!

Emperor Qin, Shen Wuya, and Ling Tian also temporarily put aside their hatred and resisted together. Three distinct forces that reached the heavens erupted with a roar, like three divine spears, fiercely piercing towards the Five Elements battle formation!

Boom!!

The forces of both sides violently collided, unleashing a world-destroying shockwave! The Void Realm crumbled inch by inch, and the earth once again collapsed by a thousand zhang!

Neither side could do anything to the other.

It seemed everyone had a trump card.

Just now, they were clearly heavily injured, spitting blood, their Divine Souls almost scattered, and nearly exhausted by Immortal Emperor Haotian, but now they all seemed fine, their Divine Power surging, their movements swift as lightning, and their killing moves endless—all of them were extremely cunning and deeply calculating individuals!

Only Taichu Heavenly Venerate, an old stubborn fool who only knew how to Cultivate, who valued loyalty and righteousness, and was self-moved, directly self-detonated.

But now, before his bones were cold, his former "comrades" were already turning their weapons on each other, fighting over the spoils he had exchanged with his life.

Seeing this, Lu Chen finally stood up.

It's finally my turn to make an appearance!!!
