Chapter 62: The Final Sword-Mitos da China: Uma Jornada com a Deusa(Medusa da Noite)

Tianshan, Primordial Pavilion.

Mu Changge used the Law of Spacetime to create a massive screen, watching the battle between the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Standing behind Mu Changge, the Black Rabbit was left entirely speechless, utterly awestruck by the clash between the two supreme Heavenly Emperors of the Cathay Realm.

Seeing the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi swallowed by the violent explosion of the formless sphere, the Black Rabbit hurriedly asked Mu Changge, "Master, are both the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi dead?"

"Gods do not die. However, the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi are merely out of sight for the moment; they have not fallen yet."

Hearing this, the Black Rabbit nodded while pondering what the outcome would be if Mu Changge himself were to step in and face either the Jade Emperor or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Since this was the first time Mu Changge was witnessing a duel between supreme Heavenly Emperors with his own eyes, he naturally observed with utmost focus. After all, such an opportunity was exceedingly rare.

It seems having powerful divine treasures is crucial, Mu Changge thought to himself, noting that the showdown between the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi could well be described as an ultimate contest of divine treasures.

Seeing that the giant screen temporarily blocked the view of the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Black Rabbit shifted her attention to the grand war among the deities within the Cathay Realm and asked, "Master, which side won the war between the deities of the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure and the deities of the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace?"

Upon hearing the Black Rabbit's question, Mu Changge immediately turned his gaze toward the battlefield of the gods.

"It is the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure. The deities on the side of the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure have won the ultimate victory."

"Let me see... Zhurong, the Southern Deity; Xuanming, the Northern Deity; Houtu, the Central Deity; Houtu the Empress; and the Jade Emperor's Heavenly Consort have all survived. Right now, they are tearing down the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace, the lair of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi."

"Master, did no ancient gods survive in the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace?"

"None. The Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace suffered a total defeat. Oh, wait, at least Rushou, the Western Deity, perished alongside them."

"Ugh..." The Black Rabbit was rendered speechless.

Then, as if recalling something, the Black Rabbit asked, "Master, didn't the deities of the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace ever think of destroying the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure?"

"That is because the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure is protected by the Taiyi Astral Icon Array deployed by the Jade Emperor. Coupled with the fact that the deities of the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure would not just stand by and watch, the deities of the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace naturally chose to defeat their enemies first before attempting to destroy the Heavenly Principle Ziwei Enclosure."

"Master, is having a grand protective array really that important?"

"Of course. The Taiyi Astral Icon Array deployed by the Jade Emperor places immense emphasis on defense; one might call it impregnable."

The Black Rabbit nodded to indicate she understood.

Just at that moment, Mu Changge noticed the divine soul of an ancient deity drifting across the battlefield, instantly arousing his interest.

"Black Rabbit, stay here for a moment. I am going to bring back the divine soul of an ancient deity."

With those words, Mu Changge vanished as though he had melted into the fabric of heaven and earth.

The Black Rabbit was momentarily stunned, followed by a surge of curiosity as to which ancient deity could possibly have piqued her master's interest.

A few breaths later, Mu Changge suddenly reappeared before the Black Rabbit, holding a sphere constructed entirely from the Law of Spacetime.

Seeing the sphere in Mu Changge's hand, the Black Rabbit asked curiously, "Master, does the interior of this sphere hold the divine soul of the ancient deity you mentioned?"

Mu Changge nodded. "This is the divine soul of Shaosiming, an ancient deity from the faction of the Spirit Emperor Monarch Palace."

"Shaosiming, the deity of progeny?"

"Yes, she also governs fortune, misfortune, and marriage."

"Why is Master interested in Shaosiming's divine soul?"

"Because I want to bring back a junior companion for you."

The Black Rabbit rolled her eyes, suddenly suspecting that her master harbored impure motives.

I hope it's not another loli, the Black Rabbit prayed inwardly.

The Endless Primordial Chaos Quantum Ocean.

"Rumble!!!"

A succession of deafening explosions suddenly burst forth.

Following this, a colossal pitch-black star materialized, its dark surface intermittently flashing with crimson stripes.

Dozens of breaths later, the colossal black star shattered entirely, scattering dazzling golden light across the chaotic sea.

The Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi emerged from the explosion, then separated to stand on opposite sides.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor's divine power was dim, with dozens of light-edges leaking luminous particles from his body, making him resemble a porcelain doll on the verge of shattering.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi was in an even more wretched state; he was now completely powerless to drive the Heavenly Emperor Stele, and countless red particles were leaking continuously from his entire body.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi glanced at the Heavenly Emperor Stele in his hand and said, "This is as far as I go. It is my incompetence; even with a supreme treasure like you, I could not secure the final victory."

As if endowed with sentience, the Heavenly Emperor Stele emitted a brilliant light that enveloped the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, instantly halting the dispersion of the red particles from his body.

After the light faded, the Heavenly Emperor Stele plunged into the void and departed.

The Jade Emperor looked coldly at the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and proclaimed aloud, "Jumang, you have lost! If you have any last words, state them now!"

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi sneered. "I am the Eastern Emperor Taiyi! Jade Emperor, even if I fall, I will ensure you suffer grievous wounds!"

"Do you wish to make a final, desperate struggle against me? Very well, then I shall shatter your illusions!"

"Jade Emperor, whether it is an illusion, you will know once you try!"

With that, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi used his divine power to ignite his entire body, consuming his very divine spark.

Seeing that the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was making a final stand, the Jade Emperor immediately summoned the Jade Emperor Divine Sword and channeled his divine power into it. A piercing, razor-sharp hum instantly emanated from the blade as blinding sword light continuously flashed along its edge.

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi also drew the Sovereign Divine Sword, channeling all his remaining divine power into it, causing the blade to surge forward against the Jade Emperor with the force of splitting heaven and earth.

The Jade Emperor immediately slashed downward with his sword, sword light swirling and sword qi overflowing. This single strike carried the might to cleave everything asunder as it bore down upon the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

A crisp and resounding clang of swords echoed through the chaotic sea.

The Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi returned to the initial stage of their duel, determined to use the divine swords in their hands to decide a victor and an outcome.

The final showdown between the supreme Heavenly Emperors triggered celestial spectacles across the chaotic sea, including cascading showers of light and streaking shooting stars.

After exchanging hundreds of blows, the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi were finally ready to use their ultimate sword strike to determine the victor!

The Jade Emperor wielded his Jade Emperor Divine Sword as though absorbing the three thousand Great Paths, causing the blade to resonate in harmony with the cosmos!

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi spattered his divine blood upon the Sovereign Divine Sword, causing it to turn fiercely malevolent at that moment, charging toward the Jade Emperor with the most ferocious intent of slaughter.

"Eastern Emperor Taiyi! I am the supreme Jade Emperor, the noble Taiyi God! Bear witness to this for eternity!"

"Jade Emperor! I, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, swear to usher in a new spring for the Cathay Realm!"

The final declarations of the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, each imbued with the majesty of a supreme Heavenly Emperor, collided violently within the chaotic sea.

The final sword strike of the Jade Emperor and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi caused brilliant morning stars to bloom across the chaotic sea.

After a few breaths, the brilliant morning stars vanished, leaving only the Jade Emperor standing alone.
