“Starting today, the Immortal Realm no longer exists.”
As the Chaos Heavenly Emperor spoke, he pressed both hands down toward the Central Continent beneath his feet. At once, the Chaos Great Dao that covered the entire Immortal Realm awakened completely.
A deep rumble echoed from the Central Continent. The ancient land, which had existed for countless ages, slowly split apart. The crack spread from the center all the way to the edge of the Immortal Realm.
Countless immortal mountains collapsed amid the tremors. Even the imperial palaces suspended above the sea of clouds began to fall, and not even the great emperors’ former daoist grounds could remain intact.
“Heavenly Emperor?! What are you doing?!”
The expressions of the remaining Immortal Emperors changed at the same time. They could accept the destruction of the immortal domains, but they could not accept the fact that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was truly going to shatter the entire Immortal Realm.
The Central Continent was where the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm converged. Once it was completely destroyed, the Immortal Realm would never be restored.
“Stop him!”
A white-robed Immortal Emperor roared. Behind him appeared a dharma form spanning across the sea of stars. He reached out with both hands toward the splitting Central Continent.
He wanted to use his own Great Dao to stabilize the Immortal Realm once more, but he discovered that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s power had already penetrated every vein of the earth.
That terrifying force had severed all the Great Daos, space, and karma from one another, making it impossible for the Immortal Realm to ever return to its original state.
The moment the white-robed Immortal Emperor drew near, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor glanced at him from across several starfields.
“I warned you.”
“Anyone who stands in my way dies.”
A bolt of chaotic divine lightning descended from above the Immortal Realm. It pierced through the white-robed Immortal Emperor’s dharma form in an instant, splitting both him and the Great Dao behind him in two.
Before the Immortal Emperor’s physical body had completely collapsed, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor had already raised a hand and seized his soul, tossing it directly into the region covered by dark-red mist.
The flesh of the Outer God surged forward, eager to devour that intact Immortal Emperor soul. Yet, at the final moment, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor clenched his hand.
Boom!
The white-robed Immortal Emperor and the surrounding flesh exploded together. The terrifying force tore open a rift spanning hundreds of star systems at the edge of the Immortal Realm.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor had never intended to use the power of these Immortal Emperors. He simply refused to leave anything behind for the Outer Gods.
The remaining Immortal Emperors finally realized that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was not threatening them.
He truly intended to slaughter everyone who stood in his way, then personally destroy this era that had already reached its end.
“He’s insane! The Chaos Heavenly Emperor has gone mad!”
“He actually intends to destroy the entire Immortal Realm!!!!!!”
An old Immortal Emperor stood before the shattered imperial palace, staring at the Central Continent as it continued to split apart. For the first time, deep weariness appeared in his eyes.
“We resisted the Outer Gods for so long. Yet in the end, the one destroying the Immortal Realm is you.”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor did not turn around. He simply continued separating the Central Continent from the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm.
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t care what you think.”
“If this continues, the final outcome will still be destruction—”
“Rather than wait for that, we might as well take a gamble.”
“You… you…”
The old Immortal Emperor’s hand trembled slightly around his imperial weapon. In the end, however, he did not attack again, because he knew that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor was speaking the truth.
The three Outer Gods had already corrupted the Great Dao of the Immortal Realm. The more Immortal Emperors there were, the more power the Outer Gods could obtain.
If they remained here, they had no purpose other than becoming the next vessels.
“What can we do?”
The old Immortal Emperor asked in a low voice.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor raised his hand toward the fragments that were leaving the Immortal Realm. A great many uncorrupted living beings still remained upon them.
“Escort them away.”
“Escort… these sparks of life…”
“As long as they live, there will always be hope.”
The old Immortal Emperor quickly understood what he meant.
If those worlds continued to develop along the current path of immortal cultivation, then no matter how many years passed, they would eventually produce another group of Immortal Emperors just like the previous ones.
They still would not be able to understand the Outer Gods, nor would they truly be able to touch those existences.
Only by dismantling the immortal path, allowing every fragment to possess a different starting point, could there be a chance for entirely different paths to emerge in the future.
The old Immortal Emperor turned and tore open the void, heading toward a starfield that had not yet completely separated from the Immortal Realm.
The other Immortal Emperors exchanged glances. At last, they abandoned their attempts to stop him and began escorting the remaining sparks of life that could still be preserved.
Some of them took away groups of ordinary people with no cultivation at all, leaving them only the most basic written language and tools.
Those people did not even know that the Immortal Realm was being destroyed. Even less did they know what paths they would walk countless years later.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor did not decide their futures for them.
He was responsible only for ensuring that they left alive.
The fissure in the Central Continent grew wider and wider. Beneath the power of the Chaos Great Dao, the entire Immortal Realm gradually lost its connections.
“*&……&……-（*（））……”
The third Outer God finally stopped watching from the sidelines. It realized that things could not continue this way.
The Great Daos that had already been severed suddenly reconnected. Strange laws forcibly spread across the Central Continent, attempting to restore the Immortal Realm to wholeness.
The shattered stars returned to their original positions. Even the Immortal Emperors who had already died slowly rose again under the influence of the Great Dao.
There was no consciousness in the eyes of those Immortal Emperors. Guided only by the instincts they had possessed in life, they charged together at the Chaos Heavenly Emperor.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor gazed at the star river that had reappeared. For the first time, an unmistakable chill appeared on his face.
“Hmph.”
“Restore it?”
He raised his right hand. The entire Central Continent fell silent in an instant. Even the Great Dao that the Outer God had reconnected came to a halt.
In the next moment, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor brought his palm down.
The billions upon billions of stars that had just been restored shattered simultaneously. The revived corpses of the Immortal Emperors were also reduced to nothingness by the chaotic power.
The strange Great Dao left behind by the third Outer God was forcibly ripped out of the Immortal Realm. Then, within the Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s palm, it broke apart inch by inch.
From the depths of the Outer God came a roar unlike any that had ever sounded before.
The roar passed through the Immortal Realm, causing vast stretches of stars to plummet from the sky.
Luo Xi stood behind the Chaos Heavenly Emperor with her sword in hand. The Great Dao of the Empress covered the final fragments of life, shielding them from the Outer God’s roar.
“How much longer?”
“Almost done.”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor seized the final two main veins of the Central Continent with both hands. His arms tensed slightly, and at that moment, the entire Immortal Realm slowly began to split apart from the center.
No words could describe the sight.
The Immortal Realm, which had once contained countless Immortal Emperors and ruled over all the heavens and myriad worlds, was torn in two from the center by the Chaos Heavenly Emperor as easily as a painting being ripped apart.
The severed Great Daos fell from the opening. Star rivers and minor worlds tumbled endlessly into the chaos. The enormous Immortal Realm was reduced to nothing more than a burning wasteland.
Countless living beings raised their heads from distant worlds. All of them could see that enormous fissure stretching across the heavens and everything within them.
They did not know what had happened to the Immortal Realm.
They knew only this—
The Immortal Realm had been completely shattered.
Luo Xi stood amid the ruins and looked back. The imperial palaces, star rivers, and immortal domains that had once been so familiar had all vanished. Only countless fragments of worlds remained, scattered through the depths of chaos.
Luo Xi came to stand beside the Chaos Heavenly Emperor. After a moment of thought, she spoke.
“Next… are you planning to…”
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor said calmly, “I will take the core of the Immortal Realm and flee into reincarnation.”
“Jiuhua, you know very well…”
“I possess more than just the Chaos Imperishable Body.”
Empress Jiuhua Luo Xi froze for a moment, then seemed to understand.
“I know… you also possess the Reincarnation Immortal Body…”
“After countless reincarnations… my strength will grow, and so will my chaotic power,” the Chaos Heavenly Emperor said.
“I’ll use my imperial body to seal these sources of darkness and buy us some time.”
“I will set this world ablaze.”
“Jiuhua, you…”
Luo Xi immediately replied, “I’ll go with you!”
The Primal Heavenly Emperor gave a faint smile. “Good… If reincarnation truly exists, I hope we can still stand side by side like this—with Luo Xuan. The three of us…”
“Never parting, never abandoning one another.”
