Chapter 964 - 324: The True Meaning of Nihility
The Celestial God formed by the replicated Yellow Emperor Dao was also swallowed by the surging darkness, completely silent.
Emperor Haotian, within the Immortal Court, suddenly lifted his head sharply, looking at the darkness before him, as if discovering something.
"The Dao has been devoured."
Emperor Haotian spoke word by word.
Just now, after the Celestial God was engulfed by the darkness, his understanding of the Yellow Emperor Dao, the replication, the memory recognition, all vanished without a trace.
It was as if these things had never appeared at all.
Returning to the void.
This is the true essence of the Chaos Void Dao!
Emperor Haotian withdrew his thoughts; he had no time to lament the lost Dao because soon, his entire Celestial Court would be completely devoured.
No hesitation, the Emperor’s Seal in Emperor Haotian’s hand once again glowed.
This time, more Celestial Gods emerged from the Celestial Court.
Among them were Nuwa, Fu Xi, Shennong, and even Han Zhan...
Witnessing this scene, the few Saints who appeared bore complicated expressions.
On one hand, they felt that Emperor Haotian’s Dao was indeed powerful, capable of replicating so many Daos.
On the other hand, seeing themselves become Celestial Gods, members of his Celestial Court, they felt somewhat inferior.
But ultimately, their focus remained on the battle against the Chaos Void.
No matter whose Dao, no matter whose ability, none seemed capable of resisting the power of the Chaos Void, all were devoured entirely.
Chaos gradually, slowly eroded the Immortal Court, not rushed, not hurried.
Yet, Emperor Haotian could only watch all this happen, helplessly.
Like one waiting desperately for death.
"Is Chaos Void truly without weakness?"
"If it was at the beginning, perhaps not." Fu Xi Saint shook his head, sighed.
In the contest of Dao, ultimately, it’s nothing more than the elevation of realms.
Especially in the Creator God’s Divine Realm, even more so.
The disparity among them is already small.
Chaos Void is strong, but meeting opponents of the same realm, the Dao would not be easily devoured.
Just like the Yellow Emperor’s sword light, it should be able to break through the Chaos Void Domain.
"What do you mean..."
"Their realms have elevated again, and after the elevation, their Dao suppresses ours."
Because of the suppression, Chaos Void is "invincible," and therein lies a causal relationship.
"If this is the case, doesn’t it mean the Creator God Chaos is simply unbeatable?!"
Chaos, Void, if the Dao Realm suppresses, then any Dao won’t be effective.
What can counter Chaos and Void?
While the Human Race Saints pondered,
In the Battle of the Gods, the darkness controlled by Chaos was about to engulf the entire Immortal Court.
Those mountains floating with Immortal Energy, those Luminous Pavilions, those Immortal Cave Mansions, all turned into nothingness.
Only a solitary great hall remained,
Within the hall, there was only Emperor Haotian left, without any trace of the other Celestial Gods.
His Dao had been devoured completely!
"It’s over."
Amidst the pervasive darkness, an elusive and indistinct voice echoed.
This was Chaos speaking for the first time.
And also for the last time.
After speaking these words, the boundless darkness devoured the last patch of Immortal Court’s pure land completely!
Lost...?
Just as all the Human Race Saints were despondent,
A touch of unusual movement refocused their attention.
Now, within the Battle of the Gods, entirely shrouded by Chaos Void, the outcome should have been determined, yet it remained unannounced.
Because, amidst all the darkness, there was a touch of different black!
"That is..."
"Could it be..."
"Emperor Haotian!"
Seeing this scene, the Saints who had completely lost hope, once again ignited their hope.
"It’s the Haotian Dao."
"Haotian Dao replicated the Chaos Void Dao, then survived using the Chaos Void Dao!"
Though the words sounded awkward, the Saints understood.
Indeed, their considerations had always revolved around how to counter the Chaos Void, but in fact, besides countering, there was another possibility—that is, coexistence!
Can’t beat it, join it.
This, too, is a way to break the impasse.
"I was always confined by the Haotian Dao, the more the Haotian Dao accumulated, the lesser the possibility to achieve Unity of Heaven and Dao, difficult to reverse, so it is."
"But today, you’ve shown me another solution."
"Devouring all Daos, why not consider it a way of merging all Daos into one?"
Emperor Haotian’s voice rang clear amidst the dark Chaos Void.
Undoubtedly, Emperor Haotian is a prodigy, one unsurpassed by any Creator God, an exceptional genius.
With his words barely finished, Haotian Dao’s Chaos Void transformed into a swirling black vortex, beginning to devour towards the surroundings.
Witnessing this, Chaos himself also transformed into a Black Hole, contending with Emperor Haotian.
In the strife of Dao, the seemingly open Dao, there is and can only be one person who reaches the end.
Emperor Haotian and Chaos, vying for the ownership of Chaos Void Dao!
The battle has developed to this stage, already beyond expectations.
It was thought Emperor Haotian would definitely lose, yet suddenly there was a turn, even the possibility of seizing Chaos Void Dao.
Both Creator Gods on the stands watched, stunned and bewildered.
Brilliant.
Truly brilliant.
Even Yao Black’s side, as opponents, marveled at Emperor Haotian’s genius idea.
Yet, their faces showed no sign of worry or panic.
"Emperor Haotian, with merging all Daos into the Chaos Void, Chaos holds the advantage of deeper Dao Realm, both grappling, equally matched."
"If they continue on like this, they will both exhaust Spiritual Power, unable to maintain the Chaos Void state, resulting in backlash."
The backlash of Chaos Void is to swallow the executor entirely.
Such backlash requires paying the price of life.
"So, will the result be mutual destruction?"
"No, Emperor Haotian lost." Fu Xi Saint shook his head, deeply sighed.
"It’s not that he’s inferior to Chaos, but that he must lose."
Must lose?
Han Zhan hadn’t understood the meaning of this when he saw the result of the fifth battle in the Battle of the Gods.
In the fifth battle, Yao Black, Chaos wins!
"A pity, if after this battle Emperor Haotian lives, merging all Daos, Unity of Heaven and Dao, he would have the chance to explore scenery beyond Creator Gods."
"But he must lose because if not, instead of mutual destruction, the subsequent battles for humanity will be even tougher."
Fu Xi pointed out the key, upon hearing this, Han Zhan realized.
Emperor Haotian did not lose.
He simply wished more for the Human Race to win!
