Chapter 654 - 648: The End, the Portal Opens
"Changfeng!?"
Upon seeing Changfeng Emperor, several emperors from the Primordial Realm were taken aback.
They hadn’t even noticed how he suddenly appeared behind Mo Tian.
What’s more, the fact that his words suggested he knew Mo Tian was bewildering.
How could this be!
Consider this.
According to their knowledge, Changfeng had only ascended to the emperor position for over four thousand years, how could he know Mo Tian from ten thousand years ago?
Unfortunately, there was no time to ponder further.
Mo Tian reacted immediately, his expression suddenly darkening.
"Duan Changfeng! So it’s you!"
Indeed, he knew Changfeng Emperor.
Wait a second.
Duan Changfeng?
Changfeng was supposed to have the surname Situ, wasn’t he?
This further confused the emperors, who looked on in bewilderment, even Lin You halted and warily observed from the side.
He noticed that Changfeng Emperor’s aura was not weaker than his own at the moment.
In fact, there was a mysterious aura surrounding him that Lin You couldn’t fathom, as if he was one with the world—unlike the Changfeng Emperor he had previously known.
"Since you remember me, you should know what fate awaits you, right?"
Changfeng Emperor ignored everyone’s gaze, looking indifferently at Mo Tian.
Lin You felt a shock internally, sensing a dangerous aura encompassing the area, as if making any reckless move would lead to severe injury.
Mo Tian’s reaction was even more intense, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "No! You can’t kill me! If you dare make a move here, those few will definitely find out about you immediately, and you won’t be able to escape!"
It was clear that he was extremely wary of Changfeng’s power, far more than of Lin You, retreating in panic with a look of horror.
Lin You’s eyes flickered in thought.
From just a few words, he gathered much valuable information.
First, it’s likely that Changfeng Emperor, like Mo Tian, hails from another world, the one where the Main God resides.
Next, someone is hunting Changfeng Emperor, and they are so powerful that any action from him would be immediately detected.
These two points combined lead to a conclusion.
Changfeng Emperor may have fled to the Ten Thousand Realms to evade pursuit, concealing his identity within their Primordial Realm.
This is why he hasn’t utilized his true power.
As for why his surname is Duan rather than Situ, that’s unknown.
There could be some hidden secret behind this, perhaps related to being hunted.
If even someone of his level needs to flee for their life, imagine how terrifying those pursuing him must be—far beyond Lin You’s imagination.
"What if I’m discovered?"
At this moment, Changfeng’s voice echoed again, filled with disdain and murderous intent.
"If it weren’t for your disruption, I could have stayed here much longer. Blame yourself for ruining my plans."
"No, I didn’t want to come here on my own, those few sent me down here, it has nothing to do with me!"
Feeling the killing intent in Changfeng’s eyes, Mo Tian was terrified, without a second thought, he pierced through the space, escaping into the void.
However, in the next moment.
Changfeng raised his arm, an invisible ripple erupted, enveloping the entire Demon Plane.
Then, the scene distorted for a moment, the initially closed space passage unexpectedly reopened, reversing Mo Tian’s escape motion, bringing him back to this world.
Time Reversal!
Lin You’s heart trembled, his pupils contracted to the extreme.
As someone possessing the Time Law, he was extremely sensitive to time flow speed.
Earlier, the time in the area before Changfeng Emperor incredibly rewound, restoring to a few seconds earlier.
At this moment.
He finally understood the terrifying power he felt from Changfeng Emperor.
Just this move alone was enough to easily defeat him!
Could the Time Law possibly have such high-level means?
What level has Changfeng Emperor reached?
As he pondered.
Upon being forced out from the space passage, Mo Tian finally reacted, a look of sheer horror on his face.
Without any hesitation, he unleashed all his power, rapidly fleeing the Demon Plane.
"Why bother?"
Changfeng Emperor sighed, his palm flickering, freezing time across the entire Demon Plane, including Mo Tian and all the emperors below.
Only Lin You, possessing the Time Law, was unaffected, observing the scene in utter shock.
Time Stop!
The supreme essence of the Time Law he had always strived for.
Unexpectedly, Changfeng Emperor could employ it effortlessly, incredibly terrifying.
"Alright, go ahead and finish him off."
At this point, Changfeng Emperor suddenly looked at him.
"I can’t make too many moves here, or it will attract unnecessary trouble."
"Trouble?" Lin You was startled.
He realized that the trouble referred to by Changfeng must be those supreme beings mentioned by Mo Tian, the ones hunting him.
Without further hesitation, he instantly teleported beside the immobilized Mo Tian.
In Mo Tian’s horrified gaze, a terrifying Power of Rule erupted. With a "boom," his final head and soul exploded violently, dissipating into the void.
Together with the Puppet Lords fighting against the Anti-Alliance army, they also lost vitality, and one by one, they fell dead.
From this moment.
The scourge that had plagued the Ten Thousand Realms Continent for millennia was finally completely eradicated!
Lin You was in a daze, staring at the Demon Plane before his eyes, devastated and the Ten Thousand Realms Continent on the verge of collapse, feeling incredibly conflicted.
A great battle had almost ruined this world, and countless Lords had fallen.
Now that the battle was finally over, he did not feel happy at all.
Because all of this was bought with their blood.
For this victory, countless lives were buried underground, and countless innocent creatures were lost.
If possible, he’d rather none of this had happened.
At least it wouldn’t be like now, with only a battered world left.
"Is it over?"
Amidst his daze, the weak voices of the Great Emperors came through, and Changfeng Emperor released the hold of the Time Law.
Lin You’s expression changed, and he instantly teleported to the side of the Great Emperors of the Primordial Realm, helping them up.
Because their Divine Formats had been forcibly stripped away, their vitality was almost gone, each with a deathly pale face.
Some had already slept here permanently, turning into decayed corpses collapsed on the ground, with a smile of satisfaction on their faces.
"Elder!"
Lin You suddenly raised his head, looking at Changfeng Emperor.
"Is there any way to save them? I’ll do anything you ask!"
If it weren’t for them gathering all their power at the last moment, he wouldn’t have defeated Mo Tian, and even at the start, he might not have escaped from Mo Tian’s pursuit.
One should never forget their roots, and Lin You certainly wouldn’t forget this kindness.
And now, the only one who might be able to save them was the powerful Changfeng Emperor.
"I can help you save them." Changfeng Emperor silently watched Lin You, "But you must promise me one condition."
"What condition?" Lin You hurriedly asked.
"It’s simple. One day in the future, when your strength is sufficient, help me kill someone!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Changfeng’s eyes.
When Lin You heard this, he was taken aback. A person that could make such a powerful figure hold a grudge was surely not simple.
However, time was pressing, and he couldn’t care much about it now, so he quickly said, "Okay, I promise you!"
"Do not forget what you said today."
Changfeng gave him a deep look and without saying more, waved his hand. Streams of Seven-Colored light surged out of Lin You’s body, continually merging into the bodies of those Great Emperors.
And Lin You’s strong aura quickly faded, returning to its initial level in no time.
Divine Format Separation!
Lin You was surprised by Changfeng Emperor’s method, never expecting he could separate the fused Divine Formats, resembling another application of Time Reversal.
But on second thought, it made sense.
With such terrifying strength, saving mere Tier Twelve lives shouldn’t be difficult for him.
When the light dissipated, the Great Emperors gradually regained vitality, looking gratefully at Lin You and Changfeng.
"Thank you."
The Xiang Yue Emperor nodded to the two, finally regaining strength to sit up and recover on the ground.
"Alright, I’ve used up too much power, can’t stay here for long. If fate allows, maybe we’ll see each other again in the future."
As Changfeng spoke, he didn’t give Lin You a chance to respond, disappearing in a flash, heading toward the Primordial Realm.
"Wait..."
Lin You reached out, wanting to call him back to ask about the Heaven-Reaching Road, but found that the other had long vanished, frowning deeply.
He could perceive that the Life Realm was almost entirely consumed by the Aura of Chaos, turning into a complete Netherworld.
Meaning, their crisis was not over.
They must find a way to stop the Aura of Chaos from flooding the Ten Thousand Realms Continent.
Otherwise, once the cycle begins, all their Soul Power will still be sacrificed to gather the World Core.
But the problem is.
The Ten Thousand Realms Continent is now on the brink of collapse, and the Heaven-Reaching Road no longer appears.
What do they have to escape here?
"Master, look quickly, the door is open!"
Suddenly, the Mushroom Demon King’s shout came from the side, interrupting Lin You’s thoughts.
He looked up, facing the gigantic gate standing in the center of the Demon Plane.
Just as the Mushroom Demon King said, due to the chains breaking, it slowly opened, accompanied by a resounding opening sound echoing through the Demon Plane.
Together with the surviving Great Emperors nearby, they were all awakened, looking at the gate in astonishment.
"What’s going on?"
"Why did that gate suddenly open?"
"Could it be because the seal disappeared?"
For a moment, exclamations filled the air, and everyone couldn’t help but become vigilant.
After all, they were still recovering from heavy injuries and had only regained a bit of power, greatly reduced from before, making them cautious.
It’s important to know.
This gateway has existed here since millennia ago, older than the Dragon Emperor.
Moreover, it might be related to the one who suppressed Mo Tian, making them more careful.
Only Lin You’s expression was different, somewhat uncertain.
Because the moment the gate opened, he felt a familiar aura summoning him, making him subconsciously step forward, heading towards the gate.
