The arena was deathly silent; no one had anticipated that Si Chen God Lord, who mastered the outline of the Time Dao Fruit, would fall to the Mysterious Immortal like leaves before the autumn wind.

The once unrivaled Si Chen God Lord didn’t even have the chance to retaliate, a stark contrast from his previous demeanor!

Lu Yang held the Green Peak Sword in his left hand and the Sky Opening Axe in his right, wielding two killing immortal weapons, his murderous intent soaring to the skies.

It was certain he would take Si Chen God Lord back, but it was more troublesome to bring him alive. Rather than that, it was better to just kill him, store his body in the Green Blade Sword Small World, and lock his soul in the Spiritual Space without missing anything.

Just as Lu Yang was about to make his move, a splendid divine talisman appeared on Si Chen God Lord’s forehead, evolving into an emperor who ruled over the world.

"Leave some leeway in what you do, why must you insist on pushing so hard?" he said.

"Why don’t you consider it for my sake and spare Si Chen’s life? I will apologize on his behalf for any wrongdoings he has committed."

"Mid-heaven Emperor Lord?" Lu Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord had left a contingency within Si Chen God Lord, ready to act in times of danger.

"Is that the legendary Mid-heaven Emperor Lord?" The crowd outside Western Heaven City was stirred up, never expecting the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord himself to intervene.

"Just an avatar, and it also has the right to apologize for him?"

Seeing that Lu Yang was not giving him any face, the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord stopped pretending and took a harsher stance.

"Just now, your excellency mentioned taking action despite bearing immense causality, presumably your excellency is entangled with causality, and hasty actions will incur the punishment of causality. Under such circumstances, do you really think you can easily defeat my avatar?"

Lu Yang’s gaze turned icy, looking at the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord as if he were looking at a corpse, "This lord has commanded the winds and clouds for tens of thousands of years, and yet no one has dared to threaten me!"

"Then let’s fight!"

"Fight!"

The Mid-heaven Emperor Lord’s avatar fused with Si Chen God Lord, swallowing the outline of the Time Dao Fruit.

The Emperor avatar leapt up, soaring into the sky.

"Swallow the sky and earth!"

Instantly, the color of the heavens and earth changed, the spiritual essence above Western Heaven City was completely devoured. Yet, this was just the beginning; this technique could devour everything, including Western Heaven City below.

"Let’s see how big your appetite is, Buddha Land in Palm!"

A pair of hands holding the sun, moon, and stars appeared, embodying the Way of space within the world, one hand in the heavens and one on the earth, trapping the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord’s avatar in between!

The hand was so large that it surpassed the limit of what the outline of the Devouring Dao Fruit could devour!

Boom!

The hands clapped together like the collision of myriad stars, creating shockwaves so powerful they blew away distant mountains!

In the realm of immortal cultivation, mountains were no different from pebbles!

Seeing the grave situation, Master Mingyu deployed the Immovable Ming King Dharma Aspect to protect everyone.

The more people he needed to protect and the stronger the enemy, the stronger his Immovable Ming King Dharma Aspect became. However, there were limits to its strength; his Dharma Aspect had not yet reached the level capable of stepping into the "Immortal" tier!

"Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Origin!"

"Emperor’s Fist!"

The Emperor avatar unleashed its uniquely supreme Emperor’s Fist, ferocious as thunder, swift as lightning, colliding with the Green Peak Sword. Golden runes filled the sky, and the Sword Qi was dazzling, blinding onlookers from discerning who had the upper hand.

"Devour, go!"

The Emperor avatar created over a dozen Devouring Black Holes, tearing space apart, twisting and warping eerily. A Transcendence Tribulation Cultivator encountering even one black hole would be devoured to the point of leaving nothing behind.

Even though Lu Yang had an Immortal Body, he dared not make rash contact!

"Let’s see how you handle this!"

However, contrary to the Emperor avatar’s expectations, Lu Yang’s aggressive and overwhelming aura did not lessen, showing no fear of the Devouring Black Holes.

The moment a Devouring Black Hole touched Lu Yang, it vanished, leaving him completely unharmed!

"How is this possible?"

Even an Immortal Body formed by incense should have a process where it is devoured by a black hole, and then the incense replenishes the devoured parts!

"But what of that, can you actually hit me?"

Now, with the outline of the Time Dao Fruit, the Emperor Avatar could predict the future, and although Lu Yang’s sword was both fast and ruthless, once the direction of the sword was predicted, it posed no threat!

This was precisely the most troublesome aspect of the time-related Dao Fruit; once the future was foreseen, many attacks became ineffective!

"Not good, it seems the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord has taken the upper hand!" Master Ming Huai shouted anxiously, noticing that several of Lu Yang’s tricky attacks had been dodged by the Emperor Avatar.

"Three heads and six arms!"

"Emperor’s Fist!"

"Primordial Qi!"

"Taiyin Divine Thunder!"

Taking advantage of the victory, the Emperor Avatar, using his three heads and six arms, simultaneously launched three different types of attacks, not believing that Lu Yang could come out unscathed!

Each of these three moves alone were enough to shatter the heavens and reshape the world, let alone when all three were used together— their combined power was unimaginable!

Even Master Ming Yu and others, who had never seen these techniques and were Great Cultivators themselves, felt the heart-palpitating force emitted by the Emperor Avatar and couldn’t help thinking that a great disaster was looming!

The Emperor Avatar laughed wildly, "I’d like to see what moves you have left..."

Before he could finish, he saw Lu Yang sheathe his sword and sigh.

"I really didn’t want to use this move."

The Emperor Avatar did not understand the implication of Lu Yang’s words, and suddenly there was a flash of light before his eyes.

Immortal Self-Detonation?!

The Emperor Avatar’s eyes nearly popped out.

Boom——

A terrifying explosion occurred above Western Paradise Temple, and in an instant, the temple was reduced to ruins.

The Emperor Avatar staggered out from the explosion, covered in wounds; this was the first time he encountered such a suicidal fighting method, but luckily, he was a notch above and survived the self-detonation.

"Ha ha, self-detonation or what, it is still my victory..."

Then he saw Lu Yang also fly out from the explosion, unscathed.

Lu Yang gave the Emperor Avatar a slight smile.

Boom boom boom——

Continuous Immortal Self-Detonation.

The Emperor Avatar did not understand what was happening and suffered continuous explosions, dying instantly.

He might have been lucky to survive one self-detonation, but he couldn’t survive them all.

"Tsk, his body was blown away, what a pity." Lu Yang examined the loot, finding that Si Chen God Lord’s physical body was completely obliterated, leaving only a soul.

"But there’s still a gain." Lu Yang contentedly stored Si Chen God Lord’s soul into his Spiritual Space.

"Speaking of which, self-detonation is quite useful." Lu Yang smacked his lips, the fancy attacks of the Emperor Avatar indeed paled in comparison to self-detonation.

"Did we win?" Master Ming Huai uncertainly said, having been terrified by the sudden and continuous self-detonations and could hardly believe the power at the center of the explosions.

"It seems we did win." Master Ming Yu was also unsure, this battle surpassed his comprehension.

Master Ming Yu flew into the sky bravely, clasped his hands together, and thanked this unknown immortal.

"Thank you, Venerable Immortal, for your assistance."

"I have some connections with your Buddhism, it was just a small effort."

Suddenly, Lu Yang felt a warmth in his chest, and he took out three Seeking Immortal Tokens, finding that the one inscribed with the word "Time" was heating up!
