Chapter 920: That Is All There Is to It

When everyone saw Emperor Yong ignite his soul, their expressions changed dramatically. This was going to be a fight to the death!

Many onlookers could not help but feel a deep respect for Emperor Yong.

To challenge a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator despite being just a Path Creation Realm expert required immense courage and determination.

However, there was also a sense of regret.

Emperor Yong was suffering from a backlash from the existing Great Dao, so his strength was only thirty to forty percent of his peak.

If he had access to his full strength, he could challenge a Path Annihilation Realm expert.

When Emperor Yong ignited his soul, his aura surged wildly and pervaded the heavens and the earth. Despite that, he was still being suppressed by Dao Emperor Zhaowu's overwhelming power.

The gap between the Path Creation Realm and the Path Annihilation Realm was truly massive.

Seeing that, Ye Guan realized something and turned to look at the Ascension Stele. He cupped his fist and said, "Senior, please give the Yang Family some face and lift the backlash on Senior Yong. The Yang Family will owe you a favor."

Ye Guan wasn't sure whether the Existing Great Dao was truly above the Nine Heavens, but he still decided to give it a try.

Meanwhile, those who heard Ye Guan's words revealed strange looks.

Tianwu Xin sneered, "Lift the backlash? Who does the Yang Family think they are? Does he really believe that the Existing Great Dao would give face to his Yang Family? What a ridiculous joke, I—"

Boom!

A violent tremor ran across Emperor Yong, and strands of mysterious, dark energy flowed out of him. The backlash was lifted!

Everyone was stunned, freezing like stone statues.

What the hell? It was actually lifted?

The Coffin Emperor's eyes widened like saucers. Damn it! Did the Existing Great Dao just agree to that bastard's request?

"How is that possible?!" Tianwu Xin muttered in disbelief, her face full of shock. "No way! He's just from a low-tier universe region—how could the Existing Dao give him face? Is the Existing Dao an idiot?"

The Coffin Emperor glanced at Tianwu Xin beside him and frowned. He thought there was something wrong with her head, so he teleported several thousand meters away, distancing himself from her.

Just as the Coffin Emperor disappeared, a bolt of lightning descended.

Boom!

Tianwu Xin was struck before he could react. Her fleshly body was obliterated, but her soul remained intact.

Tianwu Xin was too dumbfounded to speak.

The Coffin Emperor's eyelids twitched, and beaded cold sweat ran down his face. It was a good thing he had distanced himself away from her. He had been standing very close to her earlier, and he would have gotten hit if he hadn't left.

The higher one's strength and status, the more careful one had to be with their words. Every word spoken carried consequences.

If one was weak, no one would pay attention to one's words, but it was a different story once one had obtained sufficient strength. Every word would be impactful by then.

Meanwhile, Emperor Yong's aura surged wildly once again, and he returned to his peak strength. Emperor Yong closed his eyes as waves of terrifying energy emanated from him.

His aura had become almost as strong as Dao Emperor Zhaowu's.

Everyone was stunned. How could the aura of someone in the Path Creation Realm be as strong as that of someone in the Path Annihilation Realm?

Dao Emperor Zhaowu glanced at the distant Ninth Heaven, and then he looked back at Emperor Yong.

"Interesting," he said with a smile. With that, a flash of cold light appeared in his eyes. He clenched his right fist tightly and threw a punch toward Emperor Yong.

Extinction Fist! It was a fist technique that Dao Emperor Zhaowu had created himself, and it was a punch capable of destroying a myriad of paths and worlds.

Everyone around was terrified, and they immediately fled the Ascension World, which had become nothing but a pitch-black void at this point.

Li Suifeng and the others quickly took Ye Guan away, as the power unleashed by Emperor Yong and Emperor Zhaowu was too terrifying.

Even the other Path Annihilation Realm experts dared not stay. The battle was simply too frightening.

Ye Guan stared intently at the battlefield. His fists were clenched tightly, and his blood boiled with excitement. He was witnessing a world-shaking battle.

Facing Emperor Zhaowu, Emperor Yong took a deep breath and clenched his right fist. There was no fear in his eyes, and his fist moved with his powerful intent.

And just like that, a punch was thrown—a simple punch was thrown.

Boom!

The Ascension World was inundated with countless fist shadows. Waves of terrifying energy swept across the heavens, annihilating star fields in their path.

The experts present retreated frantically while unleashing the entirety of their cultivation base to defend against the devastating shockwaves.

Soon, the Ascension World was filled with deafening explosions.

A Path Creation Realm cultivator was fighting a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator!

It was simply unbelievable.

The higher one's cultivation, the harder it was to challenge someone above one's cultivation realm.

It was extremely rare for someone to reach the Path Annihilation Realm, and many universe regions would probably never produce even one Path Annihilation Realm expert throughout their entire existence.

Even Path Creation Realm cultivators were extremely rare...

A Path Creation Realm expert was fighting a Path Annihilation Realm expert.

What did that imply?

Everyone looked at Emperor Yong.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu was terrifying, but Emperor Yong was simply awe-inspiring.

The fight was a spectacle not seen in billions of years.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Consecutive cataclysmic explosions echoed as the power unleashed by Emperor Yong and Emperor Zhaowu shattered countless star fields surrounding the Ascension World.

Fortunately, the experts in the nearby star fields had already evacuated their people right before the battle began.

Even though both Emperor Yong and Emperor Zhaowu had recovered to their peak strength, many people noticed that they still couldn't shake the Ascension Stele.

The Ascension Stele was related to the Existing Great Dao. Its influence exists only within the Ascension World, but it became clear that they had grossly underestimated the power of the Existing Great Dao.

Naturally, they began wondering why the Existing Great Dao had chosen to show favor to Ye Guan.

It was truly bizarre.

The Coffin Emperor was the most worried among them.

He had been secretly observing Ye Guan, growing increasingly convinced that he had an extraordinary background.

Ye Guan had a distinguished and imposing appearance, but his appearance was not the point. The fact that the Existing Great Dao had agreed to his request was just absurd and ridiculous.

The Coffin Emperor glanced at the coffin behind him. The coffin was just for show—to intimidate his enemies. Unlike Dao Emperor Zhaowu's words, he actually didn't want to get buried in his own coffin.

With that in mind, he got ready to slip away.

Meanwhile, Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing looked extremely grim, looking like they were attending a funeral.

First of all, they had never expected that Emperor Yong would be able to fight against someone in the Path Annihilation Realm while he was just a Path Creation Realm. It was simply unbelievable.

They had never encountered someone this formidable.

In fact, they had never heard of Emperor Yong.

Any Path Creation Realm cultivator was powerless before a Path Annihilation Realm expert, but Emperor Yong had just shattered that common sense by fighting a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator on equal footing.

What made this even more terrifying was that they knew Emperor Zhaowu was not holding back in the slightest.

Secondly, they were shocked by the Existing Great Dao's decision to agree to Ye Guan's request. It was so absurd that it was unbelievable.

The Existing Great Dao represented the supreme law of this universe region, but it had given Ye Guan face.

They truly felt uneasy.

Although Emperor Yong was holding his own against Emperor Zhaowu, neither Li Suifeng nor the others were relieved. They were, in fact, deeply concerned.

Emperor Yong was indeed on par with Dao Emperor Zhaowu in battle, but it was all because he had ignited his fleshly body and soul. Emperor Yong had to kill Emperor Zhaowu soon, or he'd inevitably lose.

Emperor Yong could not afford a long, drawn-out battle.

Most importantly, the Evil Dao Alliance was behind Dao Emperor Zhaowu.

They were in a disadvantageous position.

Li Suifeng and Ru Yuan exchanged glances, both their eyes filled with worry, but neither chose to retreat. If it hadn't been for Ye Guan, they wouldn't have been able to escape the Nine Heavens and would have stayed there until death.

Ye Guan had freed them, and as they said before, they owed him their lives and were prepared to repay that debt, even if it meant dying for him.

With that in mind, the two steeled themselves for the worst possible outcome.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a series of terrifying explosions erupted in the distance. Emperor Yong and Emperor Zhaowu were both forced to retreat, each being pushed back tens of thousands of meters.

The Ascension World was no more, with nothing left standing except for the Ascension Stele. Everyone had retreated far from the battlefield, but despite the distance, they could still see the battlefield clearly due to their extraordinary vision.

After coming to a stop, Emperor Yong clenched his fists, flames surrounding him like a blazing sun, making it impossible to look directly at him. His aura was still surging wildly as if it were inexhaustible.

Meanwhile, Dao Emperor Zhaowu exuded an equally terrifying and destructive aura. However, Emperor Yong's power was not inferior in the slightest.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu stared intently at Emperor Yong, and his eyes carried a hint of seriousness that hadn't been there before.

This was unexpected—completely unexpected! He hadn't expected that even after taking that final step, he'd still be unable to suppress Emperor Yong.

A Path Creation Realm cultivator fighting against a Path Annihilation Realm cultivator was impossible across the vast expanse. However, the impossible had just been made possible before everyone's eyes.

Emperor Zhaowu looked around, aware that all eyes were on their duel. He had summoned many old acquaintances to witness his triumph once again, but things were not going as planned.

Gazing at Emperor Yong in the distance, a flicker of killing intent appeared in his eyes. Without a word, he transformed into a beam of fist energy and made a beeline for Emperor Yong.

Swoosh!

Emperor Yong also disappeared.

Boom!

When the two beams of fist energy collided, it was like two planets crashing into each other. The cataclysmic impact sent both of them flying backward.

Regaining their footing, they launched themselves at each other once more.

Boom!

The resulting explosion reverberated across multiple star fields, leaving everyone's ears ringing.

Li Suifeng and the others used their sword energy and spiritual energy to protect themselves from the shockwave.

Even Tianwu Shi and Wuma Xing had to retreat and brace against it. Had they been at their peak, they wouldn't have feared the shockwaves, but they were far from their prime.

Meanwhile, Li Ming watched with a face full of curiosity, particularly interested in Ye Guan. It was highly unusual for someone like Ye Guan to have so many powerful allies.

However, what was most puzzling was how Ye Guan managed to persuade the existing Great Dao to lift the backlash of the Great Dao on Emperor Yong. Even now, he still couldn't believe it.

Li Ming retracted his gaze and looked at Li Han. He had to admit that this descendant of his was quite remarkable.

"Haha!" Emperor Yong suddenly burst into laughter. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

He walked towards Emperor Zhaowu and continued, "So that's all there is to the Path Annihilation Realm?"

The crowd fell silent. No one thought that he was being too arrogant. He had earned the right to say that.

Dao Emperor Zhaowu stared at him and was about to say something when Emperor Yong clenched his fists tightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A world-shattering aura erupted from within Emperor Yong, and it engulfed a myriad of star fields in an instant, startling everyone.

"He..." Tianwu Shi trembled as he said, "He's about to make a breakthrough. He's making a breakthrough into the Path Annihilation Realm!"

A breakthrough? Everyone was stunned. A breakthrough in the middle of a fight?

Tianwu Xin felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she nearly collapsed to the ground in shock.

Emperor Yong was already so terrifying at the Path Creation Realm. If he were to reach the Path Annihilation Realm, who'd be able to stand against him?

He's making a breakthrough just like that? Even Dao Emperor Zhaowu was taken aback. He could no longer stay as calm as he was earlier.

Rumble!

Emperor Yong's aura surged unstoppably, and it overwhelmed even the existing Great Dao!

Just then, an unexpected change occurred. From the Eighth Heaven, a resonant sword cry echoed, and a blood-red sword shot out, aiming straight for Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong's eyes narrowed, and he clenched his fists, transforming his immense aura into a shield before him.

Bang!

The sword was blocked, but it vibrated violently before piercing the shield and piercing Emperor Yong's chest.

A woman emanating a terrifying blood-red lightning aura emerged from the stone gate of the Eighth Heaven.

"That's the Third Hall Master of the Evil Dao Alliance!" someone shouted.

She was a Path Annihilation Realm expert as well!
