Chapter 1685: Chapter 1117: Emperor’s Demise_2

This time, it’s a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.

The Phantom Immortal Emperor knows fully well there is no way back, he can only fight to the death.

He decisively makes the first strike.

"If that’s the case, then let it begin!" The Phantom Immortal Emperor roars, a trace of madness flashing in his scarlet pupils.

His body suddenly expands, the surrounding mysterious power explodes instantaneously, turning into countless black tentacles, sweeping towards Gu Chen and others.

"Coming right at the perfect moment!"

The Ten Crown King laughs coldly.

"Meeting an ’old friend’ stirs bitter resentment."

The Ten Crown King swings the Human Emperor Sword, symbolizing immortal nobility, in a single slash.

In that instant, the blazing golden light seems to blanket the universe, covering the Phantom Immortal Emperor as the rules cleanse the area, creating ripples visible to the naked eye like water waves.

The Ten Crown King’s figure is faintly visible in the sword light, seemingly merging with the sword itself. With each step, an ancient star map appears under him, wherein billions of stars twinkle, forming a river of Sword Dao through ancient and modern times.

Instantly severing all the tentacles coming at them.

"Sizzle!"

Dark blood is splattered.

Amidst the stench is decay.

Moreover, the force of the sword light continues, directly aiming for the Phantom Immortal Emperor’s brow.

Black Imperial Blood erupts.

With one sword.

The Ten Crown King pierces straight through the Phantom Immortal Emperor’s brow.

The opponent’s head is directly shredded into pieces by the blazing golden light.

Yet the Ten Crown King maintains his sword-holding stance.

The Phantom Immortal Emperor differs from other bizarre creatures, for even if slain, he can instantly resurrect.

Being someone at the end of the road, it’s hard to extinguish him.

Soon, black mist surges as the previously deceased Phantom Immortal Emperor re-emerges from it, grimacing with an extremely fierce demeanor.

Though he relies on the connection with the Ancestral Land to resurrect limitlessly like the Primordial Ancestor, the feeling of each death is genuine, impacting his Primordial Spirit and physical form.

Moreover, when these maniacs strike, it’s with intricate skill, somehow trained to wield destructive power that’s terrifying enough to make him feel excruciating pain.

"Swipe, swipe, swipe!"

The Ten Crown King charges again.

The Human Emperor Sword light sweeps like a Star River, its brilliant sword light tearing through the void, evaporating all dark matter surrounding the Phantom Immortal Emperor.

Even before the sword’s blade arrives, the sharp Sword Intent already causes the Phantom Immortal Emperor’s skin to crack, with the black blood it could shed already evaporated by the Sword Qi.

The Ten Crown King’s figure is faintly visible in the sword light, seemingly merging with the sword itself. With each step, an ancient star map appears under him, wherein billions of stars twinkle, forming a river of Sword Dao through ancient and modern times.

Behind him, towering figures rise and fall in the river of history, holding unimaginable longswords, which fall heavily toward the Phantom Immortal Emperor.

The Phantom Immortal Emperor roars angrily, suddenly clasping his hands, a pitch-black vortex erupts from his palms.

In the vortex, it seems to contain endless darkness and decay, with destructive power rampaging, even light cannot escape its engulfment.

The vortex rapidly expands, forming a gigantic black barrier, attempting to resist the edge of the Human Emperor Sword.

However, the moment the sword light and darkness collide, the black barrier is torn like paper.

If external factors were removed, the Phantom Immortal Emperor at the end of the road level is quite formidable.

Among the Bizarre Clan, there are ten Phantom Immortal Emperors corresponding to ten Phantom Primordial Ancestors.

The ten Phantom Immortal Emperors weren’t randomly chosen; they are the most gifted since the inception of the Bizarre Clan, second only to the ten Phantom Primordial Ancestors.

But the Ten Crown King surpasses the original Ten Crown King.

He not only reached the Immortal Emperor’s Realm first but was also endowed with a series of Divine Weapons and various extremely compatible Divine Treasure Skills by Jiang Hui.

This is akin to two people whose bare-handed strengths are comparable, yet one not only wears iron fist gloves but also dons razor-sharp daggers capable of cutting with the slightest touch.

Thus, there’s naturally no comparison.

The Phantom Immortal Emperor is chopped down once again, but he truly is hard to kill, walking out from the black mist once again with a rancid, rotten figure gazing at the Ten Crown King and others with deep-seated hatred.

Yet his chills grow more intense.

In just a short time, he has been slain twice.

If all these "maniacs" were to strike, he might truly die, and even the resurrection power of the Ancestral Land wouldn’t save him.

It’s an intuition.

An intuition of an Immortal Emperor.

This is not all; after specialized training, their bodily skills and techniques flawlessly match their fist gloves and daggers.

The original outcome is silently altered, the gears of destiny and karma are pried by an invisible force, emitting a dull and distant roar. The dust of history drifts in the river of time, time as an endless river, carrying the wreckage of countless beings and objects, flowing gently. Those once glorious civilizations, brilliant stars, and commanding warriors eventually become nothingness under the erosion of time, buried deep in the infinite spacetime.

Under the river of time, nothing seems truly eternal. Even those who claim to be immortal gradually decay under the erosion of time.

Entropy annihilation is the ultimate rule of the universe, the endpoint of everything. It silently devours everything, transforming order into chaos, returning life to extinction.

However, for some beings, this process is drawn out so long that they believe they can escape the shackles of fate until the end of time.

The Bizarre Clan accelerates this Entropy Rule. They disrupt the foundation of the universe with mysterious power, scrambling order, pushing life towards the abyss of destruction. Their existence seems to prove that all eventually return to nothingness, that any struggle is futile. Nonetheless, in this endless darkness, some are unwilling to be manipulated by fate, fighting against it, trying to reverse this seemingly irreversible process.

Ye Fan, Shi Hao, Gu Chen, the Ten Crown King, and others are such beings. Their actions seem to go against the flood of time, attempting to awaken those glories buried by time. Every strike of theirs challenges destiny and overturns karma. They refuse to comply, refuse to be bound by fate. Their existence seems to announce to the universe: even the endpoint of Entropy is not irreversible.

Compliance is the easiest path. Compliance with destiny, compliance with karma, compliance with the passage of time, compliance with all endings. However, compliance means accepting the arrangement of fate, from beginning to end, one’s destiny is already written, immutable. Such compliance is silent surrender, a renunciation of self-will.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan and others choose a different path— defying the heavens in their actions. Every strike is a struggle against fate, a battle with karma. Their existence seems to prove: even the ultimate rule of the universe can be broken. Their actions are not only for themselves but also for those beings buried by time, for those souls bound by fate.

The dust of history continues to drift, the river of time continues to flow. Yet in this endless age, some are willing to wage war to reverse destiny. Their existence seems to announce to the universe: even the endpoint of Entropy is not irreversible. Their actions are not only for themselves but also for those beings buried by time, for those souls bound by fate.

Perhaps true immortality doesn’t lie in being unaging but in that unyielding will, that courage to defy the heavens. Time may bury all, but it cannot bury those who dare challenge fate. Their existence is the greatest challenge to the Entropy Rule, the greatest overturning of fate.

And this is just the beginning.

Perhaps true immortality doesn’t lie in being unaging but in that unyielding will, that courage to defy the heavens. Time may bury all, but it cannot bury those who dare challenge fate.
