The Chaos Heavenly Emperor had slain most of those who had surrounded him. The remaining Immortal Emperors soon retreated toward different star regions, yet none of them truly left the battlefield.
They still firmly believed that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had been corrupted. As long as they could kill him, the Immortal Realm would return to normal.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor did not pursue them.
He stood in a star sea that had been completely destroyed. Beneath his feet lay the remains of Immortal Emperors shattered into pieces.
A single drop of an Immortal Emperor’s blood could crush a star. Now, countless drops had gathered together, forming a sea of blood that stretched across several star systems.
Luo Xi and the few remaining Immortal Emperors landed behind him. Every one of them was wounded, yet no one dared relax at a time like this.
The dark-red mist beyond the Immortal Realm continued to spread.
The Outer Gods were relentlessly devouring everything in the Immortal Realm—
After the Great Paths of the Immortal Emperors who had just died were swallowed by the mist, the three figures of the Outer Gods had already become far clearer than before.
“How much longer can you hold them back?”
Luo Xi looked toward the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
“I can’t hold them back anymore.”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor raised his hand. A wisp of dark-red energy had already appeared in his palm, slowly invading his body along the Chaos Great Path.
The Chaos Indestructible Body could withstand nearly every kind of power.
But the Outer Gods were in no hurry to destroy this body. Instead, during every exchange, they left behind a trace of their corruption within the Chaos Great Path.
Luo Xi’s expression shifted slightly. “Even you have been corrupted?”
“It’s only just begun.”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor closed his five fingers, crushing the wisp of dark-red energy. Yet a faint red mark remained in his palm.
If it were merely an injury to his physical body, he could recover in an instant.
But this corruption had already entered the Great Path. The faster he recovered, the more easily the contamination would spread throughout his body along with his chaotic power.
A tremendous explosion suddenly erupted in the distance.
A complete immortal domain split apart down the middle. Countless star systems tumbled downward on either side of the rift, while the dark-red mist finally poured into the Immortal Realm from beyond its borders!
The first Outer God projection had descended!
It had no fixed form. Its enormous body was made up of countless dark-red eyes. The moment even some of those eyes opened, the entire immortal domain fell into chaos.
“What troublesome creatures…”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor took one step forward. The entire star sea rapidly shrank beneath his feet, and in the next instant, he appeared before the Outer God projection.
He threw a punch.
There were no unnecessary displays of power. Yet as his fist passed through the void, dozens of star systems split apart at once, and the Outer God’s enormous body was punched straight through.
The dark-red eyes exploded one after another. The entire immortal domain was reduced to nothing by that single punch, and the Outer God projection was blasted beyond the borders of the Immortal Realm.
But the shattered eyes did not disappear.
They soon fell into the Great Path of the Immortal Realm and reopened in different star regions, their numbers even greater than before.
That punch from the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was enough to kill an ordinary Immortal Emperor.
Yet it could not truly kill an Outer God.
The second Outer God descended immediately afterward.
This time, what appeared was a boundless mass of flesh. Countless blood vessels grew through the void of the Immortal Realm, quickly wrapping around several nearby minor worlds.
Before the living beings within those worlds could understand what was happening, their bodies began merging together against their will.
Mountains and rivers turned into bones.
Oceans turned into blood.
In an extremely short span of time, the entire world transformed into a massive, still-beating heart.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor raised his hand and tore open the flesh. His five fingers seized the heart, which was larger than a star system, and then clenched hard.
The minor world and the Outer God projection exploded together.
Countless fragments of flesh fell toward the surrounding star regions. Yet upon coming into contact with immortal energy, every fragment rapidly began to grow.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor destroyed one world of flesh, only for even more contaminated stars to appear throughout the surrounding star regions.
The third Outer God never revealed its form.
Yet the Great Path of the Immortal Realm had already begun changing without anyone noticing.
Dead Great Emperors began to awaken once more.
Events that had already happened were forcibly negated. Some Immortal Emperors had clearly witnessed their comrades’ deaths, only to discover in the next moment that those same comrades were standing beside them.
There was no longer any way to distinguish truth from falsehood.
The entire Immortal Realm fell into a bizarre state.
It was impossible to tell. Absolutely impossible.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor raised his hand and severed the nearby Great Path, but the newly emerged laws soon spread back from other star regions.
The Immortal Realm itself was becoming the body of the third Outer God.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor raised his hand once more, sending the reconstituted first Outer God crashing into the river of time. Then he used the Chaos Great Path to suppress every fragment of flesh belonging to the second Outer God.
Dozens of star systems vanished completely beneath that palm strike. Even the edge of the Immortal Realm was left with a massive gap that could never be filled.
The projections of the two Outer Gods shattered once again.
But the corruption afflicting the Immortal Realm had not diminished.
Instead, it had grown worse.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor stood in the void and, for the first time, did not continue attacking.
He could defeat every projection. He could slay the Immortal Emperors who had betrayed them. He could even destroy most of the Immortal Realm within a single day.
But the Outer Gods did not need to defeat him head-on.
As long as the Immortal Realm still existed, as long as the Great Path of the Immortal Realm remained intact, they could continually descend through it.
All the power cultivated by the Immortal Emperors came from the Immortal Realm.
The stronger their immortal cultivation, the deeper their connection to the Great Path of the Immortal Realm—and the easier it was for them to become gateways for the Outer Gods’ corruption.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor had already reached the end of the immortal path.
Yet at this end—
he was completely helpless against the Outer Gods.
Luo Xi landed beside him. Her Emperor Sword was already covered in dark-red flesh and blood.
“Heavenly Emperor, can we still win?”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor was silent for a moment. His gaze swept across the entire Old Immortal Realm.
“We will win.”
Countless star regions were burning.
Corrupted Immortal Emperors continued slaughtering one another.
The three different Outer Gods were respectively devouring perception, the physical body, and the Great Path. There was no longer a truly safe place anywhere in the Immortal Realm.
If the battle continued, he might be able to kill dozens more Immortal Emperors. He might even be able to shatter the projections of the Outer Gods countless more times.
But the outcome would not change.
The Outer Gods would come to understand the Chaos Indestructible Body more and more deeply.
In the end, even he would become the Outer Gods’ most powerful vessel.
“Although I would very much like to say that… the Immortal Realm as it is now, and the Immortal Emperors as they are now… cannot win.”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor finally gave them his answer. His voice remained calm, yet every Immortal Emperor behind him fell silent at the same time.
That was the first time the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had admitted defeat.
It was not that he could not overcome a certain enemy.
It was that the immortal path—and this complete Immortal Realm before them—had no chance of defeating the Outer Gods.
An Immortal Emperor clenched the broken Emperor Weapon in his hand. “Then what can we do?”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor did not answer at once.
He looked up at the world beyond the Immortal Realm, then lowered his gaze to the palm that had already begun to show dark-red patterns.
Since defeat was inevitable—
then there was no need to preserve this Immortal Realm any longer.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor turned around, his gaze settling on the few Immortal Emperors who were still conscious.
“Gather everyone who can still be taken with us.”
Luo Xi frowned slightly. “What are you planning to do?”
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor gazed down at the ever-collapsing sea of stars beneath his feet. For the first time, his voice echoed throughout the entire Immortal Realm.
“Since it cannot be preserved, then I shall shatter the Immortal Realm.”
