Chapter 705 The Fall of the Ancient Emperor
This battle, representing the pinnacle of combat power in the universe, lasted only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, from the moment the ancient god and emperor reached their ultimate sublimation and unleashed that earth-shattering attack until everything settled down!
For ordinary people, a stick of incense is nothing more than a brief moment of drinking tea or daydreaming.
For those cultivators who spend hundreds or thousands of years in seclusion, it is as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall, not worth mentioning.
However, in the short span of an incense stick's time, an invincible ancient emperor who once reigned supreme and suppressed an entire era in the primordial era faced the most tragic and utter end of his life.
"when--!!!"
With a terrifying roar that seemed to shatter the entire membrane of the universe, a blinding light erupted from the center of the void at the edge of the universe, which had long since turned into a chaotic swamp.
In the deepest part of that light, the ancient emperor of the heavens gripped the supreme imperial weapon that had accompanied him for countless years—the Divine Emperor Halberd—with both hands.
His eyes, filled with madness and resentment, reflected the sky full of purple-gold lightning and crimson flames.
He had poured every last bit of power and every drop of imperial blood essence that he could extract after his ultimate sublimation into this halberd without reservation.
The golden divine law transformed into a sharp edge capable of cleaving the river of time, attempting to split the young emperor before him, who was like an insurmountable divine mountain, in two.
But it didn't work.
All the struggles and desperate efforts seemed so pale and powerless in the face of an absolute disparity in strength.
The Thunderfire Sword in Lin Hanzhou's hand did not employ any complicated and gorgeous supreme secret techniques, nor did it trigger any fancy Dao resonance.
He simply and naturally slashed with his sword from top to bottom.
This seemingly ordinary sword strike contains a supreme truth that can sever all cause and effect and destroy the origin of all things.
The sword light, intertwined with lightning and fire, easily tore apart the vast golden river of divine king's laws.
That invincible golden edge, upon encountering the thunder and fire sword energy, was like ice and snow under the blazing sun, unable to withstand even a moment before collapsing completely.
"Click..."
A crisp yet chilling cracking sound stood out clearly amidst the violent roar of energy.
The ancient emperor of the heavens lowered his head in utter shock, staring incredulously at the divine halberd in his hand, which was said to be indestructible.
A deep crack appeared on the halberd blade that emanated extreme divine power.
Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread wildly across the entire halberd like a spider web at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is impossible... I am an ancient god-emperor! I have clearly reached the pinnacle of my power, how could I possibly be defeated so utterly?!"
The ancient emperor of the heavens let out a mournful and desperate roar.
But his voice was quickly drowned out by the overwhelming torrent of thunder and fire.
The purple-gold lightning and crimson flames mercilessly devoured the majestic body of the ancient god emperor.
His radiant golden divine armor melted rapidly into molten iron under the scorching heat of thunder and fire.
The sacred wings of light behind him, symbolizing the supreme glory of the gods, were also forcibly torn into countless scattered feathers of light.
"boom!"
Finally, with a mournful cry from the Divine Emperor Halberd, this supreme imperial weapon shattered into countless pieces of dull scrap metal, scattered in the endless abyss at the edge of the universe.
The physical body and soul of the Heavenly God Ancient Emperor were completely annihilated by Lin Hanzhou's domineering and unparalleled thunder and fire sword intent, turning into a shower of golden light that drifted across the sky and merged into the cold and desolate void.
An ancient emperor has thus perished completely!
With the death of the ancient god, the strange celestial phenomena that once shrouded the entire universe and were worshipped by countless beings underwent earth-shattering changes.
The half of the brilliant sky that was once dominated by golden divine light seemed to have lost its source of power, like a huge mirror that had been shattered, breaking into countless golden meteors that streaked across the sky before finally disappearing completely.
In the sky, only the purple-gold lightning and crimson sea of fire representing Emperor Yan Lin Hanzhou remained, still rolling and roaring, demonstrating the unparalleled supreme majesty of the current emperor.
The dissipation of this golden light proclaimed a cruel and shocking truth to the entire universe.
The supreme being who had revived within the forbidden zone was defeated, and was annihilated in both body and soul!
……
The distant Protoss star system.
Inside the magnificent ancestral temple at the very center of the Protoss's ancestral planet, the atmosphere was oppressively icy.
"Snap... Bang!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the ancient god statue, which was originally radiating divine brilliance and was enshrined at the top of the ancestral temple, suddenly developed a huge crack from its brow.
Immediately afterwards, the entire statue collapsed as if it had lost all its spirituality, turning into rubble and broken stones.
The ancient imperial aura that had once permeated the ancestral temple and brought peace of mind to all the descendants of the gods vanished without a trace at this moment, like wisps of smoke scattered by the wind.
"Ancestor..."
Looking at the rubble scattered on the ground, the Great Elder of the God Clan finally couldn't help but let two lines of sorrowful tears roll down his cloudy old eyes.
His once upright figure now seemed to have aged thousands of years in an instant, hunched over like a candle flickering in the wind.
"The ancient emperor... has completely fallen!"
The powerful gods around them also looked ashen-faced.
They stared blankly at the empty altar, a complex emotion welling up inside them that they couldn't describe in words.
After all, what they believed in was the invincible hero who fought to protect all living beings in ancient times, not a degenerate supreme being who, in order to prolong his life, cut himself off and hid in a forbidden zone, and who may have even launched dark turmoil in history and sucked the blood of all races.
The ancient god-emperor achieved ultimate sublimation in this most magnificent way, dying in battle on the edge of the universe. For himself and for the entire god race, perhaps this was the best ending.
"well……"
The Grand Elder of the God Clan sighed deeply. He tremblingly reached out his hands and picked up the fragments of the statues from the ground one by one, carefully holding them in his palms.
"Our ancestors have passed away; the old era has truly come to an end."
