The will of man is powerful, exceedingly powerful.

Chen Yuan's ability to reach where he is today, while inseparable from the assistance of the Destiny Altar, his own will is also an indispensable element.

It is precisely because of his tenacity, indomitable spirit, and positive attitude that Chen Yuan has been able to face life-and-death crises, relying on a surge of energy to rise upward, turning death into life.

However, sometimes, in the face of absolute strength.

Battle intent, and will, cannot change the true course.

This has nothing to do with anything else, only with strength!

Chen Yuan, at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, could contend with and even kill opponents at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm with his own hard power, making him truly invincible in the human world!

But the Taihao Immortal Venerable was no ordinary individual.

His strength had almost reached its limit.

Chen Yuan knew why this was the case; it was because he was the evil thought and incarnation of the Martial Emperor, possessing the same memories as the Martial Emperor, and with thousands of years of accumulation.

His strength, according to his estimation, was likely no less than that of the original Martial Emperor.

In other words, Chen Yuan, from another perspective, could now be considered contending with the Martial Emperor!

Then, he was unsurprisingly defeated.

However, by mobilizing the power of all living beings in the human world, Chen Yuan borrowed an incredibly terrifying power, which he thought could make up for some of the gap in realms.

But the result was that he had overestimated things.

The gap between him and the Taihao Immortal Venerable was still very large.

This could be seen from the current exchange of blows.

The Taihao Immortal Venerable did feel some pressure from Chen Yuan's strength, but it was not as great as he had imagined. Therefore, in just a short period of exchange.

He gained the upper hand, and then absolute dominance!

The Taihao Immortal Venerable's accumulation of thousands of years, devouring the power of the Taiyin and Taiyang Immortal Venerables, and also being the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, meant that his strength could be described as invincible in this realm.

Although Chen Yuan was able to put pressure on the Taihao Immortal Venerable, it was still not enough.

Terrifying roars continued to resound through the starry sky, and powerful shockwaves swept in all directions. The area where they fought was not only a deadly zone for those below the sixth realm.

Even sixth-realm immortals would find it a dangerous place.

Rules intertwined, merging into the starry sky, the heavens and earth rumbled, shattering space. Chen Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, wielding the Human Emperor Saber and the God-Slaying Spear, fully displaying his power.

The origin was being consumed, the primordial spirit was being consumed.

At this moment, Chen Yuan had forgotten life and death. In front of him, there was only one enemy, the Taihao Immortal Venerable, and his goal was to completely suppress and kill him here.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was bathed in nine-colored light, which was the blessing of the power of all living beings. A terrifying phantom, ten thousand zhang tall, stood above the starry sky, at the peak of the realm.

The phantom held the Human Emperor Saber in one hand and the God-Slaying Spear in the other, its eyes fixed on the Taihao Immortal Venerable, as if there was only this one enemy in front of it.

Chen Yuan merged with the Dharma Aspect Phantom, displaying his most powerful strike.

At this time, there was no other way but to confront head-on.

Only by turning death into life, making a desperate gamble, was there a glimmer of hope!

Between shifts in form, space shattered, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed thousands of miles. The immense pressure pointed directly at the Taihao Immortal Venerable, and the Martial God rules were also concentrated to the extreme point.

This was his strongest strike, and it was almost all of his power.

The Taihao Immortal Venerable stared at the sudden surge of immense power, the massive phantom that arrived in an instant, his expression slightly changing. He raised his hand, and the laws of Yin and Yang transformed into a huge Tai Chi diagram.

As if to swallow him inside.

The two sides clashed, touching each other. The tip of the God-Slaying Spear pierced the Tai Chi diagram, and the ten-thousand-zhang blade of the Human Emperor Saber also struck it. At this moment, heaven and earth froze.

As if even breathing stagnated in this instant.

It was unknown how much time had passed, perhaps a long time, perhaps only an instant. The terrifying roar that erupted from the clash directly exploded within the starry sky.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, the starry sky shattered, and the stars collapsed.

Centered on the clash between the two sides, everything within a radius of ten thousand miles was within the range of the shockwaves. Everything, everything, was annihilated at this moment, and disappeared completely at this moment.

......

"Huff..."

The massive phantom formed by Chen Yuan was becoming faintly visible, almost disappearing, under the extraction of power. At this moment, the world returned to calm.

He gasped for breath, his gaze extremely solemn, his divine sense probing in all directions, searching for the trace of the Taihao Immortal Venerable, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

In that strike, the Taihao Immortal Venerable had disappeared.

Disappeared from the central area of the exchange, turning into nothingness.

If it were an ordinary person, the instinctive reaction might be that the Taihao Immortal Venerable was dead and had not left any trace. After all, this was the fact before their eyes.

But who let Chen Yuan have another means of detection?

Destiny!

Before the exchange, Chen Yuan had clearly窥探 (kuī tàn) that the Taihao Immortal Venerable was surrounded by a very large force of destiny. If the Taihao Immortal Venerable had fallen.

That destiny should have been swallowed by him, obtaining the opportunity for the next time.

Now there was no destiny, and the Taihao Immortal Venerable was missing.

This could only prove one thing, and that was that the other party was not dead.

Then, where did the other party go...?

This was a very important question.

He was not afraid of the other party's strength, but he was afraid that the other party's strength had not been fully understood even now. Therefore, Chen Yuan's first reaction was to disperse his divine sense and探知 (tàn zhī) the other party's traces inch by inch.

In the calm starry sky, only a few starlight points lit up. Chen Yuan looked around, and a huge sense of insecurity had risen in his heart. At the same time, he was mobilizing more power of all living beings.

"For thousands of years, you are the only one who has been able to force me to this point..." A calm voice, without any emotion, entered Chen Yuan's ears as he searched.

It was the voice of the Taihao Immortal Venerable!

Chen Yuan's gaze followed, quickly turning to the rear. At this moment, he saw ripples suddenly appearing in the boundless starry sky, and a huge vertical eye slowly coalesced.

Without a trace of emotion.

He did not hesitate at all and acted again. However, this time, it was not as smooth as before. The Taihao Immortal Venerable seemed to have anticipated this.

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao disappeared and then reunited. Then, after Chen Yuan acted, the wind and clouds rose again above the starry sky, gathering into a huge black hole counted in ten thousands of zhang.

The dim black hole slowly rotated, and a strong pressure directly fell on Chen Yuan's body. Then, a divine sword suddenly shot out from the black hole.

The speed seemed slow, but it was actually fleeting, directly crossing the distance of space, with an irresistible power, pointing straight at Chen Yuan, the power of law, the power of the Heavenly Dao.

All the power gathered and condensed, making Chen Yuan, who suddenly reacted, feel a huge sense of crisis. Without hesitation, the Martial God rules and the power of all living beings poured out together.

The God-Slaying Spear also turned back and stabbed, and the power condensed to the extreme point collided with it.

"Boom!!!"

"Crack!"

First, there was the roar of the two methods, and then, there was the crisp sound of fracture. Chen Yuan, holding the God-Slaying Spear, widened his eyes in disbelief. The strongest immortal weapon in his hand, the God-Slaying Spear.

The result of the confrontation with that unknown divine sword was the shattering of the God-Slaying Spear.

Chen Yuan was greatly alarmed, and his instinctive reaction was to retreat quickly to create distance.

However, Chen Yuan retreated quickly, but the speed of the divine sword was even faster.

Void stagnation!

Under the crisis of life and death, Chen Yuan used his primordial spirit神通 (shén tōng), hoping to delay for an instant. However, the void stagnation, which had once been invincible and had produced great effects even when facing the Demon Emperor Celestial Immortal.

Now, it was useless.

It did not achieve the effect of allowing Chen Yuan to avoid this attack.

Retreat,

Retreat again!

Advance, advance again!

At this moment, Chen Yuan encountered the most unforgettable scene of his life. All his methods, at this moment, he... had no effective means to resist.

The Taihao Immortal Venerable, who reappeared, plunged Chen Yuan into a desperate situation with just one blow!

This time seemed to pass very quickly, but it was actually only an instant. Chen Yuan used all the methods he could use, the Martial God rules protecting his body, and the power of all living beings protecting his body.

But the result...

"Puff!!!"

In the silent void, even the sound of an ordinary divine sword piercing the body seemed so clear. The final result was... Chen Yuan did not avoid it.

The divine sword passed through Chen Yuan's chest, directly nailing him to death in the void.

At this moment, it froze again.

Chen Yuan looked down at the divine sword in his body, his eyes filled with some错愕 (cuò è), some horror, and some... indescribable inexplicable expression. He wanted to raise his hand to force it out of his body.

However, he simply couldn't raise it.

The immense pressure directly brought Chen Yuan an overwhelming force, directly imprisoning him. The mysterious power of the divine sword was gradually destroying Chen Yuan's vitality.

The Eye of the Heavenly Dao dissipated, and a illusory figure in white stepped out of the starry sky, instantly appearing in front of Chen Yuan, looking at his masterpiece, the originally indifferent expression.

Also revealed a trace of a smile.

He looked at Chen Yuan and said very seriously:

"You... are very good."

This sentence did not contain the slightest falsehood and was completely from his heart.

Before, Chen Yuan's sudden desperate struggle caught the Taihao Immortal Venerable somewhat off guard, and the true body he had condensed was also directly annihilated in that final method.

This was something that no one had been able to do for thousands of years.

Even the powerful Chu Taizu was easily suppressed and killed by him after rejecting him.

Therefore, in his view, Chen Yuan's strength was so strong that it could be described as one of the top three in three thousand years. If he had not been in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, immortal and indestructible, this time, he might have really been reversed by this person.

However, there was no if.

In the end, he still won.

"Success... is king... failure... is villain... more to say... is useless..." Chen Yuan stared at the Taihao Immortal Venerable and said in a fragmented, low voice.

He was defeated.

The invincible record was defeated in front of the Heavenly Dao.

Using all means, but ultimately useless.

However, he did not regret it, nor was he annoyed.

He who kills men shall be killed by men.

Chen Yuan had thought about the ending of this day... now... it had come.

However, he was really a little unwilling.

Longevity,

Immortality,

Eternity,

Indestructibility...

In the end, he still failed to reach that step.

"I have seen many people make a fool of themselves when they are about to die. It is really good that you are so prepared. If it were not for the approaching extraterrestrial demons, it would be okay to spare your life.

Unfortunately, time and fate....

From the moment you rejected me, it was already doomed.

To be able to force me to this point, to be honest, I did not expect it before the fight. Perhaps in your eyes, the peak of the Celestial Immortal is the limit, but in reality.

I am only half a step away from the seventh realm of eternity, and even, if it were not for the imprisonment of the Heavenly Dao, I would have already stepped into the seventh realm. Your death in exchange for an eternal existence is not a loss."

The aloof Taihao Immortal Venerable looked down at Chen Yuan and said.

"Cough cough cough... Hehehe..." Chen Yuan did not say a word, but laughed at this moment.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about using other methods, but... but... at this moment of death, the Destiny Altar that existed in the depths of his consciousness still did not show any movement.

Forget it...

I wonder if there will be another rebirth after this death.

Thinking so in his heart, Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

He had always been the one killing people, and this time he was killed by someone else. Chen Yuan also felt what it was like to be on the verge of death. First, the inner world within his body collapsed.

Crushing inch by inch, the heavens and earth collapsing.

Then, the primordial spirit was annihilated, gradually dissolving.

The light in his eyes was also gradually disappearing.

"Is... this... the feeling of death?"

"You are dead, I will guard this realm, and I will not kill your descendants, unless... they are like you and take the initiative to seek death..." Looking at Chen Yuan, whose vitality was disappearing more and more.

The Taihao Immortal Venerable muttered to himself, slowly raising his hand and covering Chen Yuan's brow, wanting to send him on his way as soon as possible, and then... find the mysterious altar.

Chen Yuan's collapsing primordial spirit scattered and gathered again, as if moving with the wind, drifting towards the depths of his consciousness, the always calm Destiny Altar.

......

......

At the moment when Chen Yuan was defeated and died, many people who were connected to Chen Yuan sensed this scene. Jiang He's heart ached, and a strange grief quickly surged into his heart.

A group of immortals in the Immortal Realm curled their lips into a smile.

This battle was no surprise!

Mo Luo was a little dazed. Although the feeling of grief in his heart could not be faked, and a little starlight on the Celestial Tome Treasure began to collapse, he still did not believe this scene.

How could Chen Yuan die?

He had pacified the world, unified the human world, and had been invincible all the way. No matter what kind of opponent he was, no matter what means he used, he could not be defeated.

How many peerless heroes had he defeated?

Jingtai, Xiang Qianqiu, Buddha, Demon Emperor, extraterrestrial demons... countless.

How... could he die?!

Mo Luo did not believe it.

Lu Chengfeng opened his mouth, his eyes a little dazed.

Defeated?

Defeated!

A thousand years ago, a thousand years later, he was still defeated.

What he had sought in his life, what he had been concerned about in his heart, in the end... had not come true.

Ye Xiangnan, Old Celestial Master, and Patriarch Su Ming also had their own reactions, feeling悲戚 (bēi qī), and mourning arose spontaneously.

The Old Divine Vine's eyes flickered, preparing to leave.

The reason why he judged this way was because the禁制 (jìn zhì) in his soul was gradually dimming at this moment.

At this time, in various places in the human world, because of Chen Yuan's sudden fall, strange phenomena occurred, and the world mourned together!
