Chapter 1885: Chapter 892: Chen Yuan’s Fall! Heaven and Earth Mourn Together! (Part 2)
In the tranquil starry sky, only the slightest starlight flickered. Chen Yuan circled around, a deep sense of insecurity rising in his heart, while he summoned more power from all living beings.
“For thousands of years, you are the only one who has pushed me to this extent…” A calm voice devoid of any emotion reached Chen Yuan’s ears as he searched.
It was the voice of Taihao Immortal Sovereign!
Chen Yuan’s gaze followed, quickly turning to the rear. At this moment, in the vast, endless starry sky, waves suddenly began to undulate, as a colossal vertical eye slowly materialized.
Without a trace of emotion.
Not hesitating for a moment, he acted once more; however, this time it wasn’t as smooth as before. It was as if Taihao Immortal Sovereign had anticipated this.
The Heavenly Dao Eye disappeared and then reappeared. Just after Chen Yuan made his move, the starry sky above was in tumult again, forming a massive black hole measuring tens of thousands of feet.
The eerie black hole rotated slowly, and a formidable pressure descended directly upon Chen Yuan. Then, suddenly, a divine sword shot out from within that black hole.
Though its speed seemed slow, in reality, it was fleetingly fast, crossing the spatial distance in an instant, carrying an irresistible force, it pointed directly at Chen Yuan, the Law Power, the Heavenly Dao Power.
All the forces converged as one, making Chen Yuan, who suddenly reacted, feel an immense sense of crisis. Without hesitation, the Martial God Rules and the Power of All Living Beings surged forth simultaneously.
The God Slaying Spear also promptly thrust forward, gathering to its peak, clashing with the sword.
“Boom!!!”
“Crack!”
First, there was the booming sound of two forces clashing, then came the crisp sound of something breaking—Chen Yuan, holding the God Slaying Spear, widened his eyes in disbelief at the ultimate Immortal Weapon in his hand.
The clash with that unknown divine sword ended with the God Slaying Spear snapping.
In a rush of anxiety, Chen Yuan instinctively retreated, creating distance between them.
However, Chen Yuan retreated swiftly, yet the divine sword was even swifter.
Void Stagnation!
In a life and death crisis, Chen Yuan used his Primordial Spirit Divine Power, hoping to delay for the briefest of moments. However, once so potent that even when facing the Demon Emperor and Heavenly Immortals it had great effect, the Void Stagnation.
Now, it was of no use at all.
It simply didn’t help Chen Yuan evade this attack.
Retreat,
Retreat again!
Advance, advance again!
This moment was an unforgettable one in Chen Yuan’s life; all his techniques now seemed ineffective to counter it.
The reappeared Taihao Immortal Sovereign, with a single strike, plunged Chen Yuan into a dire situation!
This seemed to happen in mere moments, though it was just an instant. Chen Yuan exhausted all measures at his disposal, Martial God Rules protecting himself, the Power of All Living Beings as a shield.
But the outcome was…
“Puff!!!”
In the silent void, even the ordinary sound of a divine sword piercing the flesh was starkly evident, and the ultimate result was… Chen Yuan failed to evade it.
The divine sword pierced through Chen Yuan’s chest, pinning him directly in the void.
This moment, frozen once more.
Chen Yuan lowered his head to look at the divine sword in his body, his eyes filled with some confusion, some horror, and some… undescribable feeling. He wanted to raise his hand to push it out of his body.
But he simply couldn’t lift it.
The enormous pressure bore down on Chen Yuan, yielding an overwhelming force he couldn’t resist; it directly shackled him, while the mysterious might of the divine sword gradually sapped Chen Yuan’s life force.
The Heavenly Dao Eye dispersed, and a white-robed, illusory figure stepped out from the starry sky, manifesting instantly before Chen Yuan’s eyes, looking at his own masterpiece, a once indifferent demeanor.
Now with a hint of a smile.
He looked at Chen Yuan and said very earnestly:
“You… are quite impressive.”
This statement carried not a trace of falsehood, it was entirely from his heart.
Earlier, Chen Yuan’s sudden desperate efforts took Taihao Immortal Sovereign somewhat by surprise, and his True Body had been extinguished by that final move.
This was something no one else had accomplished in thousands of years.
Even the mighty Grand Ancestor Chu, when he refused him, was easily subdued.
Thus, in his view, Chen Yuan’s strength ranks among the top three in the past three millennia, if not for his unity with the Heavenly Dao, undying, this time, could have indeed seen a reversal of fortunes.
But there are no ifs.
In the end, he still won.
“Victory for the king… defeat for the bandit… words are pointless…” Chen Yuan stared at Taihao Immortal Sovereign, speaking in a halting, low voice.
He was defeated,
His invincible record, brought down in front of the Heavenly Dao.
Despite all efforts, ultimately in vain.
Yet, he had no regrets, and wasn’t remorseful.
Those who kill, shall be killed.
As for this day’s outcome, Chen Yuan had considered it… and now… it came.
Just, there was indeed some unwillingness.
Longevity,
Immortality,
Eternity,
Undying…..
In the end, still hadn’t achieved that step.
“I’ve seen many people disgracing themselves upon the brink of death, your preparedness is indeed remarkable. If not for the coming threat of external demons, sparing your life wouldn’t have been a problem.
Unfortunately, time and fate are fixed….
From the moment you refused me, it was already destined.
Being able to push me this far, honestly speaking, before our confrontation, I didn’t foresee this, perhaps in your view, the peak of Heavenly Immortal was the limit, but in reality.
I’m only half a step from the Eternal Seventh Realm, in fact, if not for the Heavenly Dao’s restraint, I would have already stepped into the Seventh Realm, your death results in an Eternal existence, not a loss.”
High up above, Taihao Immortal Sovereign looked down at Chen Yuan and said.
“Cough cough cough…. hahahaha….” Chen Yuan said nothing, yet he laughed at this moment.
He hadn’t thought of using any other means, just…. just…. at this life-threatening moment, that Qi Fortune Altar deep within his consciousness, still didn’t stir.
Let it be….
𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Whether after this death, there might be another rebirth, he had no idea.
Thinking this in his heart, Chen Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
He had always been the one killing, and being killed this time, Chen Yuan indeed sensed what it was like to be on the brink of death. First, the world inside his body collapsed.
Inch by inch, it crumbled, the world crashed down.
Next was the dissolution of his Primordial Spirit, gradually dissipating.
The light in his eyes was also fading away.
“Is this… the feeling of death?”
“With your death, I will guard this Boundary Domain. I will not hunt down your descendants unless… they, like you, seek their own death….” Watching Chen Yuan whose life was fading.
Taihao Immortal Sovereign spoke to himself, gently raising his hand, placing it on Chen Yuan’s brow, wanting to speed his passage, then…. seek that mysterious altar.
Chen Yuan’s disintegrating Primordial Spirit scattered and converged, seeming to drift with the wind, towards the depths of his consciousness, to the always peaceful Qi Fortune Altar.
…
…
At the moment of Chen Yuan’s defeat and demise, many connected to Chen Yuan sensed this scene, Jiang He felt a heart-wrenching pain, an inexplicable sadness quickly surged in his heart.
A group of Immortals from the Immortal Domain had smiles on their lips.
This battle was unexpected!
Moluo was somewhat dazed, although the grief in his heart was genuine, a point of starlight on the Heavenly Book Treasure began to collapse, yet he still couldn’t believe this scene.
How could Chen Yuan die?
He had pacified the lands, unified the human world, always victorious on his path, no matter the opponent, no method could defeat him.
The unrivalled heroes who fell to him, how could they be limited to just one?
Jingtai, Xiang Qianqiu, Buddha, Demon Emperor, Foreign Heavenly Demon…. countless.
How could he… how could he die?!
Moluo didn’t believe it.
Lu Chengfeng opened his mouth, his eyes glazed.
Defeated?
Defeated!
A thousand years ago, a thousand years hence, still defeated.
His life’s pursuit, his heart’s tether, ultimately… still not fulfilled.
Ye Xiangnan, the old Heavenly Master, and Ancestor Su Ming each had their own reactions, a sense of sadness in their hearts, mourning arose naturally.
Shen Teng old man’s gaze flickered, preparing to leave.
His judgement was due to the prohibition within his Divine Soul, gradually dimming now.
Meanwhile, across the human world, due to Chen Yuan’s sudden fall, strange phenomena arose, heavens and earth mourned together!
