The process lasted for dozens of breaths. As Laozi reached out and gently patted the Origin Tower, the living being suddenly disintegrated. The Origin Tower's light dimmed by two-thirds. Laozi guarded it in his palm and walked towards the grand city of Chang'an.
"Lost!" the fleeing Desolate Origin Ancestor exclaimed in shock. His connection with the Origin Tower had been severed. Laozi's image appeared before him, and he gasped, "In the current Immortal Realm, a human has emerged so powerful!"
"Desolate Origin Ancestor!"
At this moment, within the boundless chaos, an overwhelmingly dominant will descended, pressuring the endless chaos to boil and ignite with crimson flames.
"Who?"
The Desolate Origin Ancestor looked up, gazing at the figure flashing at the end of space. He marveled, "Human!"
Another human giant had emerged, surpassing the ordinary Transcended realm, or perhaps even beyond it. This was a step he had only reached after obtaining the Origin Tower's energy. Yet, this majestic man had already stepped beyond Transcension, just like him!
"Desolate Origin Ancestor!"
Xiang Yu spoke, looking down at the Desolate Origin Ancestor. "As a human, you have reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm's Great Dao, ending the era of creation. Humanity should have prospered under your guidance, becoming a dominant power in the Immortal Realm!"
"But you, for your selfish desires, to control the Origin Tower and seize time, you suppressed humanity and even played the myriad races of the Immortal Realm in the palm of your hand. For several eras, you have caused boundless slaughter!"
"At this very moment!"
"It is time for a conclusion!"
Boom!
Xiang Yu turned, facing Chang'an, and bowed respectfully, "Your subject requests permission to slay the Desolate Origin Ancestor and reshape the myriad Daos of the Immortal Realm!"
"Granted!"
A majestic voice echoed from Chang'an City, suppressing the boundless chaos!
"Understood!"
Xiang Yu knelt on one knee, accepting the imperial decree!
"Arrogant! What human or not human! In the eyes of this ancestor, only strength is eternal! I am human, and human is me. Between heaven and earth, in all directions, no one can defy this ancestor's will!" The Desolate Origin Ancestor's face contorted with ferocity. With a roar, he extended his palm, and as rolling energy surged in, his palm became covered with Transcended patterns. In an instant, this palm evolved into a world, and boundless energy surged out like a storm!
Light swept across, and the boundless chaos extinguished. The evolved world also turned into nothingness, emanating deathly aura and filling the palm. Black flames ignited, scorching the fragmented space and emitting sizzling sounds.
"Origin Fire!" Xiang Yu's expression turned solemn. He looked at the burning flames. This was a power stripped from the Origin Tower by the Desolate Origin Ancestor, arguably the purest and most fundamental power in the Immortal Realm, immensely powerful!
His figure flickered, layers of light exploding. At this moment, he stood with the vast firmament above his head and the endless Netherworld beneath his feet. His boundless might caused time and space to completely freeze, the river of time stood still. The Desolate Origin Ancestor, burning with Origin Fire, stood within the shattered space, as if he had emerged before the birth of the Immortal Realm, bringing forth creation, passing through the present, and stepping into the future. His every move possessed the power to sweep away ten thousand ages.
"This power does not belong to you; it is useless!"
Xiang Yu spoke. He clenched his Overlord Spear and struck down. The burning Origin Fire that splashed outwards was on the verge of being extinguished.
"Kill!"
At this moment, the Desolate Origin Ancestor roared, raising the hand that had been honed for slaughter and directly striking out, like the falling firmament, like the shattering sky. Sudan Novel Network
Boom!
The chaotic space churned, and the land of the Ancient Star Road instantly plunged into darkness. The entire sky, and even the earth, inexplicably burst into flames, three parts black and seven parts red!
Laozi, Confucius, and Guiguzi, who had entered the spatial interval, suddenly stopped. The three sensed the changes behind them in the Ancient Star Road, turned slightly, and their gaze fell directly onto the battlefield where Xiang Yu was. There, myriad Daos burned, and boundless space annihilated!
The two powerhouses stood in the deepest darkness, as if poised in the bizarre.
The Ancient Star Road vibrated, then fell silent, and then was suddenly swept by myriad bolts of lightning. Above the towering peak of chaos, it was as if a colossal divine beast was rampaging. With rumbling sounds, Laozi and the other two hastily intervened, standing before the Immortal Realm. This energy was too terrifying; even they could be heavily injured with the slightest carelessness.
Hum~~
At the center of the battlefield, a dazzling silver-white light suddenly erupted. The boundless energy and pulses that had previously burst out were suddenly retracted, condensing at the center of the battlefield, all entering the core of the silver-white light!
Rumble!
Red light flashed!
Yellow light flashed!
Black light flashed!
In less than a breath, the silver-white light suddenly burst forth with myriad colorful streams of light!
All energy instantly annihilated!
Within the chaos, peace was restored!
Two figures, separated by thirty thousand miles, faced each other!
Xiang Yu held his Overlord Spear, his chest heaving slightly. The Sky-Splitting Rhinoceros Armor on his body was still dissipating the boundless energy from moments before.
The Desolate Origin Ancestor's figure was somewhat disheveled. His palm was slightly damaged, dripping blood. This blood was terrifying; as it fell into the boundless chaos, it pierced through dozens of layers of space, falling to an unknown place. His hair was disheveled, and he gasped for breath.
"If the tempering and dormancy of these ten thousand years were not for myself, how laughable! What about humanity? What about the myriad races? What about the Immortal Realm? Without power in hand, without absolute strength, talking about these, don't you find it ridiculous?" The Desolate Origin Ancestor looked at Xiang Yu and said slowly.
"I do not act for humanity, nor for the myriad races, nor for the Immortal Realm. What I desire is only my own path. To obtain this power, I would not hesitate to refine all of humanity and the myriad races of the Immortal Realm!"
"Kill!"
He roared, he bellowed, he extended his hands, grasping the boundless chaos, transforming it into a black saber, carrying fragments of myriad Daos, and slashing down magnificently, furious and sweeping in all directions!
Xiang Yu looked calmly at everything before him, at the boundless black saber carrying countless fragments of brilliance. He struck out, and with a roar, the battle spear in his hand transformed into a great halberd. He moved forward, his halberd light boundless!
With a roar!
The Immortal Realm and the new world trembled and shook!
The vast land, which had just merged into one, almost separated again under the impact of this blow!
"Ah!"
The Desolate Origin Ancestor cried out in pain. He dropped the black saber and retreated without regard. The previous blow, that halberd light, was incomparably powerful, injuring his arms, shattering the bones of his entire right arm. His right arm was engulfed in black light, constantly separating his flesh and blood.
The Desolate Origin Ancestor cried out in pain. He ignited the origin light, enveloping his injured right arm, trying to prevent Xiang Yu's energy from devouring it. Once he had it under control, he looked up.
