613: The Final Battle

"..."

Lin Ye did not speak; he merely looked at Taichu calmly.

The smile on the latter's face gradually faded, and he then said in a deep voice: "The moment your Only Dao was born, I discovered that the three divergent paths on the Time River were because of your Only Dao."

"One becomes three..."

"In other words, my existence and the existence of Future are also because of your Only Dao."

"Whether it is devouring the Great Dao or embodying the Dao, it can never escape this 'one'..."

Future, standing to the side, also spoke up: "I never recognized the two of you as Lin Ye, because I, who embodied the Dao, was the true Lin Ye. But after the Only Dao was created by you, I realized that I am indeed Lin Ye, yet I am only a part of you?"

"Heh... you should know that we won't just surrender without a fight, right?"

"Hmm..."

Lin Ye nodded. Ten thousand years of sublimation had made him understand many things, and his emotions had gradually become indifferent.

Therefore, even when facing Taichu and Future, these two who were the same as himself, he did not show much emotion.

"Hahahaha!!!"

Just at this moment, Taichu laughed out loud. The wounds on his body had gradually dissipated, and rolling black waves emerged behind him. Even though the Outer Realm was filled with darkness, it still could not cover the black waves behind Taichu.

"Let's try it out for the final battle!"

"I once stood on the Time River for eternity, looking down upon all living beings, and finally buried myself in a bronze coffin. But I never expected that this was also a part of you deriving the Only Dao."

"I thought it was my choice. The nine Supremes of the Spirit Race attempted to refine the Great Dao within me, refining for an eternity, and they also believed it was their choice."

"In the end, it was your choice. Only... Only... the name of this Dao is well-deserved."

"But even if the Only Dao and the only path are determined, my name is Lin Ye. What if I manage to kill you, who is also Lin Ye!"

Future nodded, clearly thinking the same thing.

The three of them looked at each other. The next moment.

Boom!!!!!!

The rolling Devilish Qi on Taichu condensed into a world-destroying spear. This was Devilish Qi and also the will of Taichu. The moment the world-destroying spear appeared, the entire Outer Realm began to collapse.

The Great Dao resonated, the Heavenly Dao collapsed, and the Void Realm shook and cracked!

Streams of black vortexes twisted the entire Outer Realm. Inside those black vortexes were endless resentful souls, and the Nether Realm beneath the Nine Underworlds began to shake continuously.

This will of Taichu even swallowed all the resentful souls within the Nine Underworlds, and even some members of the Nether Race could not escape; their Divine Souls turned into black Qi and merged into the world-destroying spear.

"This spear is named Taichu!"

On the other side, Future did the same. He formed hand seals, and the Great Dao rumbled. Three thousand worlds began to condense and evolve...

Gradually, a Great Dao diagram emerged, inscribed with three thousand worlds, three thousand Dao Rhymes, and three thousand gods and demons!

One produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things!

Future's figure gradually became illusory. Those strands of Dao Rhymes and pieces of worlds were being smelted by the Great Dao diagram. Embodying the Dao, he himself was the Great Dao!

"This diagram is called Future..."

Boom!!!!!!

The world-destroying spear and the Great Dao diagram erupted with a roar that shook the world within the Ancient Battlefield. Throughout the ages, the strongest of every era felt this fluctuation.

This fluctuation made their scalps numb and their Divine Souls tremble.

It could no longer be explained by mere eeriness or terror; they even felt that the world they were in was about to collapse along with it.

The will of Taichu and the Qi of Future—the two Dao Rhymes, one black and one white, resembled a Taiji.

Seeing that might, the corners of Lin Ye's mouth curled up slightly. If Madam Miao were here, she would have discovered that this smile of Lin Ye's was exactly the same as his initial smile.

This was also the first time Lin Ye had shown such a smile during a battle.

At this moment, he was the high and mighty Immortal, the youth who had first walked out of Yu City, and the Transmigration Lin Ye from the swaddling clothes...

"I think you two look a lot like devils! If you are devils, then it falls to me to kill you!"

Taichu and Future were stunned for a moment, and then both of them burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!!!"

"I think you're the one who looks like a devil. I should be the one killing you!"

"Both of you look like devils. Today, I shall uphold the Righteous Path!"

The three of them laughed aloud simultaneously.

A long sword appeared in Lin Ye's hand, and a nine-page book emerged above his head. All kinds of Chaos Qi, Taichu Qi, and Future Qi erupted around him, and the Time River and the Ancient Battlefield appeared in the Void Realm.

These scenes became the visions surrounding Lin Ye.

The Time River flowed slowly, moving only forward and never backward. Although it was an extremely simple sword strike, it caused the Outer Realm to split open from the center point.

It was as if someone was creating the world, intending to reshape the universe.

"This sword is named Only... a gift for you... no, a gift for me."

"Come!!!"

Taichu roared, and the world-destroying spear in his hand smashed fiercely toward Lin Ye's position. Future also pushed the Great Dao diagram, causing this world to rotate and shake.

Facing this scene, Lin Ye swung the long sword in his hand. Various visions began to shatter, and endless Dao Rhymes poured out...

Boom!!!!!!

A roar worthy of heaven and earth destruction rang out. The entire Spirit Realm collapsed, the Outer Realm disappeared, and pure darkness turned into the whitest light.

A sword strike of ten thousand years...

When the white light gradually dissipated, it revealed three figures inside.

Lin Ye in red, Lin Ye in white, and Lin Ye in black.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Taichu was the first to shrug; the spear in his hand had already disappeared: "Tsk tsk tsk... Only Dao, it truly lives up to the name 'Only'. It seems this time I have become the devil!"

A forced smile appeared on Future's indifferent face: "It's not just you who became a devil; even I, the Great Dao, have become a devil. What are you dissatisfied about?"

"A mere Great Dao is nothing but a little trinket for me to devour. What are you acting so arrogant for?"

"Heh... try devouring me and see. Now that everything is..."

Crack!

Future's words were cut off halfway. His body began to shatter, and cracks like white light spread continuously across him.

"Yo yo yo!"

Taichu had a smirk on his face: "See that? I lasted longer than you. It seems I won this final battle against you. Don't brag next time! A mere Great Dao, I can devour it with a flick of my hand... As long as it's a Dao, it's mine to devour! You..."

Crack!

Taichu's body also began to crack.

He shook his head and finally looked at Lin Ye: "I devoured the entire world, and after seeing your memories, I discovered that I seem to have missed out on so much! If there truly is Reincarnation in this world, I wonder if I will be able to properly enjoy it."
