Chapter 1420: Chapter 1420: The Final Gift
“You surround and hunt my ministers—this is what you call ‘no enmity’?”
Chu Yuan’s gaze locked onto them, and the color of heaven and earth changed. Imdiately, endless lightning crashed down.
“So they are his ministers!”
The Starlight Lord finally understood why the Cosmic Emperor appeared here. Inwardly, he cursed—after much effort encountering a Heavenly Dao God of the human realm, backed by formidable forces.
“Ignorance is no sin; today we were wrong!” The Starlight Lord hurriedly apologized.
Before such overwhelming power, he couldn’t muster up courage and had to bow his head. Just the sealing technique alone was enough to render him utterly powerless.
Chu Yuan looked at them and showed no interest in saying more.
Suddenly, his palm grasped—an act of absolute domination. A thunderous abyss swept forth, its terrifying might boundless and unparalleled, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
“Cosmic Emperor, do you truly intend to kill us?!”
The Starlight Lord, enraged beyond asure, roared, “I’ve already apologized! You are too domineering!”
“Starlight Lord, he truly ans to kill us!”
Within the thunderous abyss, Yu Zhenjun and the Ruler of Tremors were panicked and fearful.
“Fight! Gather all our strength and blast this door apart!”
The Starlight Lord decisively transford into a Heavenly Dao river, unleashing an explosive burst from his essence—a beam of light spanning tens of thousands of miles fiercely striking the sealed gate.
“We’ll fight too!”
Yu Zhenjun and the Ruler of Tremors also unleashed their most powerful abilities.
But back then, even the Fifth-Realm Lord of Thousand Progress couldn’t breach Chu Yuan’s sealed gate. While assisted by Stone Sky and others, Lord of Thousand Progress’s strength far exceeded theirs.
“It can’t be shaken!”
They turned ashen-faced, their hearts trembling to the extre.
They couldn’t fathom how this sealed gate could be so formidable. At last, they understood why the Master of Nine Abyss Realm had perished at his hands.
Chu Yuan struck again. Life and death, yin and yang, twisted and intertwined, forming a towering black-and-white domain. With imasurable force, it descended, directly encompassing the Starlight Lord.
“No! You can’t kill !”
The Starlight Lord scread in terror.
His body was consud, and he desperately tried to inform Star River Heaven of the events here. But before the gate of sealing, all ssages were blocked.
The yin-yang domain, powered by the horrific devouring technique, carried the force of life-and-death boundaries, and in a flash, swallowed the Starlight Lord whole.
“The Starlight Lord… he’s gone!”
Yu Zhenjun and the Ruler of Tremors were paralyzed by fear, their hearts almost bursting.
Such a rapid series of techniques—they hadn’t even had ti to react before the Starlight Lord was defeated. The Cosmic Emperor’s strength was overwhelmingly potent.
His Devouring Technique was a nesis to Heavenly Dao gods, directly consuming the Heavenly Dao rivers.
“Please don’t kill us!” They begged for rcy.
Chu Yuan had no intention of sparing them. His Devouring Technique surged and refined them. In the sa realm, few could rival his strength, and amid their screams, they were swallowed one by one.
“His Majesty’s strength… it’s terrifying.”
Cheng Xuan trembled.
“Enough. Follow to find the Sky Lord’s Sky City.”
Chu Yuan stord into the ancient battlefield.
“Your Majesty, Sky City resides in a deeply hidden location. After a long ti, the originally perfect prohibition has shown a slight leak. I seized this montary flaw, using my spirit as one attuned to the human realm, and located the ruins.”
Cheng Xuan advanced rapidly under Chu Yuan’s power.
He had once carefully avoided nurous dangers, but Chu Yuan had no such concerns.
“Hmm?” Chu Yuan suddenly stopped.
“Your Majesty, has sothing happened?” Cheng Xuan asked.
“Nothing much. I’ve sensed another trace of a human realm’s essence. Let’s go investigate.”
Boom!
Chu Yuan swept away countless fragnts, arriving at an imnse battlefield. Skeletons littered the ground, bearing marks of countless mighty beings’ battles.
This was within the ancient battlefield.
“The battlefield where the human realm waged war in ancient tis.”
Cheng Xuan’s eyes clouded with emotion.
He considered himself lucky to have been trapped in the Abyss of World Burial, avoiding the bloodiest confrontation. Yet, he could envision the catastrophic demise of countless exalted gods.
“In those years, rely the human realm’s forces numbered dozens of Primal Divine Spirits.”
Cheng Xuan stepped onto blood-soaked soil and spotted a shattered piece of armor ahead. His eyes widened in recognition. “Your Majesty, this is from the army of the Morning Light Lord, a Primal Divine Spirit.”
“Follow —I sense the Morning Light Lord’s presence.”
Chu Yuan ventured deeper into the battlefield.
His sight fixed on a striking view: tens of thousands of armored figures stood upright, lifelike yet motionless, their flesh and blood preserved.
“They’re all dead!”
Cheng Xuan paid his respects with a formal gesture.
“That must be the Morning Light Lord, a Primal Divine Spirit.”
Chu Yuan identified an elderly figure, his eyes shut, leaning against a withered Divine Tree, his body stained with traces of blood.
“Morning Light Lord!”
Cheng Xuan, having once seen this mighty Primal Divine Spirit, remarked, “He has perished as well. Nearly all of the human realm’s strongest fell during that battle. It was an utter defeat!”
“If my guess is correct, this Primal Divine Spirit overca his enemies who invaded the realm, then devoted all his strength to the Human Emperor before passing here.”
Chu Yuan’s vision seed to manifest scenes from ancient wars.
“Your Majesty!”
Cheng Xuan gasped as Chu Yuan strode directly toward the Morning Light Lord.
“It’s fine.”
Chu Yuan wielded the Human Emperor Sword, emitting an aura of humanity’s supremacy. The dormant gods appeared to awaken, letting out silent cries.
He reached the Morning Light Lord’s side.
“The reigning Human Emperor…”
As if stirred by the Emperor’s essence, the faint will of the Morning Light Lord emitted its final sound.
A rain of radiant light blossod splendidly. The tens of thousands of divine beings transford into sacred droplets of luminance, including the Morning Light Lord, rging into a divine, glowing mirror.
In re monts, they all vanished.
Before Chu Yuan lay a single ancient mirror.
“That is the Morning Light Lord’s Primal Divine Artifact—the Morning Light Mirror!”
Cheng Xuan exclaid.
“It holds his final imnse power, ready to erupt. Even most Primal Divine Spirits could not withstand it. This is his legacy, accessible only to one who embodies the Human Emperor.”
Chu Yuan spoke slowly.
If he weren’t the Human Emperor, approaching this location would trigger the Morning Light Lord’s power, causing everything to collapse.
But with the Human Emperor Sword and the supremacy of humanity’s force, it instead beca a gift, a final offering.
“Cosmic Emperor, this Primal Divine Spirit can never be revived again. He extinguished his destiny and consciousness alike. The ancient wars… the splendor of the Human Emperor, the Creator of the Divine Realm’s interventions—I never witnessed them firsthand. These Primal Divine Spirits fell one after another. It is a regret beyond asure.”
The Fire Lord lanted.
“Those battles were grueso. It wasn’t about right or wrong, but conflicting choices that inevitably led to war.”
Chu Yuan stowed the Morning Light Mirror and departed the realm.
