Chapter 1884: Chapter 892: Chen Yuan Falls! Heaven and Earth Mourn!
The will of man is very strong, incomparably strong.
The reason Chen Yuan was able to walk to this day, although it could not be separated from the assistance of the Qi Fortune Altar, his own will was likewise an indispensable part of his path to this day.
It was precisely because of that tenacious, unyielding, ever-upward will that, whenever he encountered a life-or-death crisis, Chen Yuan could, relying on a surge of Powerful Energy, soar upward, seeking life in the face of death.
Only, sometimes, before absolute strength—
Battle intent and will still cannot change the true trajectory.
This has nothing to do with anything else; it is only about strength!
Chen Yuan, at the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, by virtue of his own hard power, was enough to match, even slay, opponents at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal, and could be called truly invincible in the Human World!
But Taihao Immortal Venerable was anything but ordinary.
His strength had almost reached the limit.
Chen Yuan knew why: because he was the evil thought, the incarnation, of the Martial Emperor, possessing the same memories as the Martial Emperor, and with an accumulation of several thousand years.
By his estimation, this strength was very likely no weaker than the Martial Emperor back then.
In other words, from another angle, Chen Yuan could be considered to be vying against the Martial Emperor himself!
And then, unsurprisingly, he lost.
However, by mobilizing the Power of All Living Beings in the Human World, Chen Yuan borrowed an extremely terrifying power; he had thought he could make up for some of the gap in Realm.
But the result was that he had thought too much.
The gap between him and Taihao Immortal Venerable was still vast.
This could be seen clearly from their current clash.
Taihao Immortal Venerable did indeed feel some pressure from Chen Yuan’s strength, but in truth it was not as great as imagined; thus, after exchanging blows for only a brief moment—
He seized the upper hand, and then an absolute upper hand!
Taihao Immortal Venerable’s accumulation over several thousand years, his devouring of the power of the Taiyin and Taiyang Immortal Venerables, and the fact that he was the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao—one could say that within this Boundary Domain, his strength was unrivaled.
Though Chen Yuan could force Taihao Immortal Venerable to feel pressure, it was still not enough.
Terror-stricken booms resounded unceasingly through the starry sky, and the powerful aftershocks swept toward the four directions. The region where they fought, needless to say, was an absolute death ground for those below the Six Realms.
Even to a Sixth Realm Immortal, it was a place of utmost peril.
Laws intertwined, merging into the starry sky, heaven and earth roared, shattering space. Chen Yuan’s eyes were bloodshot as he held the Human Emperor Saber and the God Slaying Spear, fully unleashing his own power.
Origin was being consumed, Primordial Spirit was being consumed.
At this moment, Chen Yuan had already forgotten life and death; before him there was only this one enemy, Taihao Immortal Venerable, and his goal was to completely suppress and kill him here.
At this moment, Chen Yuan’s body was shrouded in nine-colored light; that was the blessing of the Power of All Living Beings. A terrifying illusion hundreds of thousands of zhang tall stood towering above the starry sky, at the peak of the Boundary Domain.
The illusion held the Human Emperor Saber in one hand and the God Slaying Spear in the other, its eyes locked firmly onto Taihao Immortal Venerable, as though there were only this one enemy before it.
Chen Yuan fused with the Dharma Manifestation Illusion, unleashing his strongest strike.
At this time, aside from a head-on clash, there was no other way.
Only by seeking life in death and staking everything on a single throw was there the slightest hope!
As his figure shifted, space shattered; in the blink of an eye he traversed a thousand li. The immense pressure bore straight down on Taihao Immortal Venerable, and the Martial Divine Rules were condensed to the extreme.
This was his strongest strike, nearly all of his strength.
Taihao Immortal Venerable stared at that suddenly surging vast might, at the colossal illusion that arrived in an instant; his expression changed slightly as he raised his hand, the two Laws of Yin Yang transforming into a gigantic Tai Chi Diagram.
As though to swallow him into it.
The two collided, touching each other; the tip of the God Slaying Spear thrust into the Tai Chi Diagram, and the ten-thousand-zhang Sword Light of the Human Emperor Saber slashed down upon it as well. In that instant, heaven and earth froze.
It was as if even breathing solidified in that split second.
No one knew how much time had passed—perhaps a long time, perhaps only a heartbeat—when the terrifying detonation from their clash exploded directly within the starry sky.
“Boom!!!”
In a flash, the starry sky shattered, the stars crumbled.
Centered on their clash, everything within ten thousand li was within the range of the aftershocks; everything, everything, was annihilated in that instant, vanished without a trace.
…
“Huff….”
The vast illusion formed by Chen Yuan’s condensed power was, under the extraction of that power, already flickering, nearly fading away, and heaven and earth in that instant returned to calm.
He gasped for breath, his gaze incomparably grave, his Divine Thought probing in all directions, searching for the traces of Taihao Immortal Venerable, not daring to show the slightest negligence.
Under that strike, Taihao Immortal Venerable had disappeared.
Disappeared at the very center of their clash, turned into nothingness.
If it had been an ordinary person, their instinctive reaction might have been that Taihao Immortal Venerable was dead, leaving not a single trace—after all, that was the fact laid before their eyes.
But who told Chen Yuan to possess another means of detection?
Qi Fortune!
Before they fought, Chen Yuan had clearly seen that a tremendously vast Qi Fortune Power was coiled around Taihao Immortal Venerable’s body; and if Taihao Immortal Venerable had fallen—
Then that Qi Fortune should have been devoured by him, granting him the next opportunity.
Now the Qi Fortune was gone, and Taihao Immortal Venerable had vanished.
This could only prove one thing: the other party was not dead.
Then, where…did he go?
This was an extremely important question.
He did not fear that the other side was powerful; he feared that the true depths of the other side’s strength had yet to be discerned. Thus, Chen Yuan’s first reaction was to disperse his Divine Thought and probe inch by inch for the other’s traces.
