Chapter 1662: War Of Extermination (2)

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye. A human Invincible had perished. Two celestial chasm Invincibles and multiple celestial chasm Pseudo Invincibles had perished. They had died as easily as bugs. And yet none of the surviving combatants could afford to spare even a moment to mourn these deaths.

The battle was too intense for them to do that. They could only pour their emotions into their fights, further raising the intensity of the battle.

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King had refrained from joining Great Qin King's battle with the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. He had only been waiting at the side, but he was actually helping more by not actively joining the battle.

He was serving as a much bigger threat by not fighting.

Why? Because the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was unaware of his real strength. The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor would be left guessing about the timing of Great Zhou King's participation. He could only feel an intense murderous desire locked on to him from Great Zhou King.

He was well aware that Great Zhou King would only act upon sensing an opening, and that one move would be fatal for him. It was incredibly difficult for Eternals to kill Daofuses. But when two incomparably powerful Eternals were working together, they could accomplish even the impossible.

Boom!

After yet another explosion, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor took a thin sword out. This was his first time drawing a weapon in the fight. He stabbed the sword forth, severing Great Qin King's River of Time before stabbing through his arm.

Death qi was leaking out of the thin sword. By this point, it was already obvious that there was a significant connection between the celestial chasm race and the Death Realm.

This race was once a part of the fate race, but eventually, they fell from the sky before settling beside the Death Realm. Most considered them corrupted. Death qi had always been suppressive and corrosive toward the living.

Great Qin King lost all sensation in his stabbed arm, as though he had suddenly lost an arm. In response to the attack, his spear swept forth. With a rumble, the attack was deflected. The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's hair fluttered violently from the impact as a bloody wound appeared on his neck.

Just as the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was about to attack again, he vanished with a flicker. The moment he vanished, a golden beam shot through his previous location. The attack created a tiny black hole that proceeded to expand slightly before exploding.

Even Great Qin King had to take a few steps back to avoid the impact of the explosion. As for the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor, he stared at Great Zhou King with a slight change of expression.

Meanwhile, Great Zhou King frowned and said, "Qin Guang, what are you doing? Keep him occupied!"

With an apologetic look, Great Qin King said, "Don't worry. I won't repeat this mistake."

Then, he shot forth and released another spear attack.

Yes. This was how a cooperation between Great Qin King and Great Zhou King worked.

It had always been so.

Great Qin King would be the one to engage the enemy in close range while Great Zhou King would wait for the chance to hit the enemy with fatal attacks. However, teamwork would be very important for this to work. Any mistake would result in a miss, like what happened earlier.

After witnessing the might of Great Zhou King's attack, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor felt even more pressured. That attack was surprisingly powerful. He knew that even as a Daofuse, such an attack could still harm him.

"Do you think victory is really certain for you?"

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor snorted and said, "Remember. You made this happen. Don't regret it. Corpse of Fate, return!"

Near the border between the Celestial Chasm Realm and the Death Realm was a small city. The city vanished abruptly before turning into a ruler. The ruler soared into the sky and flew toward the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor.

This was a dao affirmation weapon.

Yes. The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor had achieved his dao through a similar path as the ancient city guardians.

Like the ancient cities, which were essentially the weapons of the ancient guardians, the ruler was capable of suppressing the Death Realm as well. With the departure of the ruler, no death tunnel appeared. However, a blurry realm barrier became visible. In mere moments, a large amount of death qi leaked out of the barrier.

It was true that the celestial chasm race had a cooperation with the Death Realm. But they still had to prevent the Death Realm from corroding the Celestial Chasm Realm. However, the current situation was urgent enough for the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor to stop caring about the corrosion.

He had to fight his way out of the Celestial Chasm Realm. That would be enough to ensure his survival. Humanity had neither the courage nor the strength to kill him in the Allheaven Battlefield. The moment the battle shifted to the Allheaven Battlefield, more Daofuses would interfere.

Thus, escaping the realm was his sole option. That was the only way the celestial chasm race and the Celestial Chasm Realm could survive.

In the blink of an eye, the ruler flew into Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's hand. Instantly, his aura surged. Anyone who had achieved dao affirmation through a weapon would always be much stronger with the weapon in hand.

The ruler swept out and clashed against the Source Return Blade, creating a much bigger impact than any of the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's previous attacks. This ruler was his actual trump card. With the ruler in hand, he started attacking madly. While attacking with the ruler, he was also attacking with curses.

At this point, Great Zhou King could no longer watch from the sidelines. Great Qin King was being pushed back.

As a ninth-degree Eternal who had achieved dao affirmation through the Three Body Method, who had also lost two bodies, it was only natural for Great Qin King to not be a match for a Daofuse who had achieved dao affirmation through a much better method.

"Curses again? Nothing special."

With a snort, Great Zhou King manifested a character. With the appearance of that character, a net spread out of it before dropping down upon the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. Alarmed, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor hurriedly took a bloody token out.

An ancient assembly token.

The moment it appeared, a bolt of red lightning struck the approaching net.

A deafening explosion erupted while Great Zhou King's character cracked.

With a frown, he said, "The assembly token of the Celestial Chasm Progenitor?"

Each assembly token was also a manifestation of a specific law. This token, in particular, was the manifestation of the Celestial Chasm Progenitor's law. Thus, it was able to easily defeat Great Zhou King's character.

Great Zhou King only frowned, but the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was greatly shocked. How did the character survive that?

How was it not fully destroyed?

How was this possible?

"I see now. You are on the verge of achieving Daofuse through your character."

The shocked Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor said, "You're really walking the path of characters. Zhou Tianqi, you are the real number one expert of humanity..."

Boom!

Just then, a powerful spear shot over. Clearly, that remark had offended Great Qin King.

No, he had merely found a good opening to attack.

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor had actually blanked out in the middle of a battle.

When the spear struck, Great Qin King felt as though he had struck an incredibly solid slab of steel. Great Qin King continued pushing the spear forward, finally piercing through Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's skin and causing him to bleed. Finally, the Pseudo Emperor reacted. With a roar, he struck the spear with his ruler, reducing the flesh on Great Qin King's arm into fine powder just from the impact of that strike.

Only his bones were left.

"You're not enough to kill me!"

Meanwhile, the battle between the Invincibles was still raging.

One of the ancient celestial chasm Invincibles looked around bleakly and sighed, "From the sixth epoch until now...humanity has never stopped being so overbearing. I had thought that you would be completely helpless during this epoch. Alas...you are still as overbearing as ever."

He sighed with boundless regret.

𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He was someone who had survived since the sixth epoch.

He first fought the humans during the sixth epoch. During that epoch, the boundlessly domineering and powerful humanity swept through the Myriad Realms. After a series of early victories, they were defeated at the very end of the epoch."

Would things change in the tenth epoch?

He was unsure.

He sighed and muttered, "I guess I've lived long enough. Things won't end well for you after eliminating us. I will be waiting for you in the afterlife."

Boom!

Having said his last words, the ancient Invincible detonated himself.

The power explosion blasted three nearby human Invincibles away, sending them flying while coughing blood. One of them was even forced out of the fused state, separating into three bodies before losing one of them immediately.

Such was a battle between races.

A battle to the death with no retreat.

With his life as the price, the ancient celestial chasm Invincible had delivered heavy injuries to three human Invincibles. This wouldn't kill them, but this would create an opportunity for some other celestial chasm Invincibles to kill them.

The human Invincible who had lost a body from that explosion was Great Yue King.

As a fifth-degree Eternal, he was slightly weaker than some of the other human Invincibles present.

Among the founding kings, only a small number were able to reach the ninth degree. Some were stuck at the eighth degree, a decent number were stuck at the seventh degree, and some were stuck at the sixth degree. Only a small number of them were still stuck at the fifth degree, making them the weakest of the bunch.

One wouldn't be stuck for so many years as a founding king just because one was lazy. Rather, this signified the limitation of one's talent and potential. A good comparison would be the younger Invincibles like Xia Longwu, who could reach the fourth degree right off the bat.

The weaker senior Invincibles like Great Yue king were happy to see the rise of new and powerful human Invincibles, but they also felt very helpless about it. And now, Great Yue King had lost a tri-life body. With this, his combat strength would most likely drop below the level of people like Xia Longwu.

With a sigh, he said helplessly, "Friends, Great Yue will be in your care from now on. Brothers, as one who had fought alongside you back then, I am an embarassment. Even a junior can kill me. How... embarrassing."

During the founding era, he was also one of the top heroes of humanity. He had followed Great Qin King and the others as they waged war against the myriad races, even if he hadn't played as big a role as the others during the war.

And today, he had actually lost a tri-life body while attacking a single enemy alongside two allies. This was an embarrassment.

He was left with two choices. Pick a weaker opponent and continue fighting. Or he could create more openings for humanity.

"You..."

Great Song King, who was nearby, was about to say something when Great Yue King's gaze landed on the distant celestial chasm Invincible, who was easily handling Great Jin King and Great Chu King all by himself. Great Yue King's gaze turned cold as he sent a voice transmission, "As a ninth-degree Eternal, he is too strong for those two to handle. I'll leave a heavy injury on him. The rest of you join hands and aim to kill him at a single go. Do not give him the chance to self-detonate and deal even more damage to us."

The ninth-degree celestial chasm Invincible was an old fossil who had survived since the first epoch. At his age, the rotting qi emanating from his body was already comparable to that of a death spirit.

Even so, there was no denying that he possessed a formidable combat strength.

He was very strong.

If he were to fight desperately, he might even be able to take the two seventh-degree human Eternals down before dying.

Meanwhile, Great Yue King was only a fifth-degree Eternal. For him, this was a worthy exchange.

Not giving anyone the chance to protest, he turned into a golden beam and shot toward the three combatants.

Noticing his approach, the expression of the ancient celestial chasm Invincible changed. He had not been fighting with his life on the line as he was confident he could win against his two opponents. After defeating them, he could even help the others with their fights. Thus, he saw no need to sacrifice himself here. But now, he could sense the approach of a crisis.

An Invincible with two bodies fused had burned his own body, transforming into pure power of laws, before shooting through the defenses of the ancient celestial chasm Invincible.

Right at that moment, Great Song King and the others roared before attacking.

The world shook.

Even more crimson clouds covered the sky.
