192: The First Emperor of War, an opportunity to break the formation

"Boom—!!!!"

The phantom of Progenitor Xiao Xingchen, wielding the sky-splitting giant axe flowing with Emperor blood, collided fiercely with the destructive finger imprinted by the ancient Battle Emperor!

This collision far surpassed the previous ones! It was no longer a clash of energy, but the ultimate confrontation of two completely different Emperor Realm laws and supreme wills!

At the center of the collision, there was no earth-shattering explosion; instead, a strange silence emerged! But beneath the silence was an even more terrifying annihilation of laws!

A domain of absolute dark void rapidly expanded, devouring light, sound, energy, and even space itself! The Ten Million Souls Prostration to Emperor Formation trembled violently, and countless array runes instantly dimmed and shattered!

The altar, piled high with billions of skeletons, began to collapse like a sandcastle!

"Crack—!"

A crisp cracking sound, like a clap of thunder, resounded! The finger pointed by the Emperor's phantom, under the reverse slash of the Progenitor's sky-splitting axe, began to show cracks from its tip!

The cracks spread rapidly, covering the entire finger in the blink of an eye!

"Roar—!!!!"

The Emperor's phantom let out a silent roar filled with shock and fury! It seemed unexpected that a remnant imprint, surviving through eons, could unleash such terrifying power!

For the first time, a solemn expression appeared on its blurred face!

"A wisp of remnant thought, dares to defy an Emperor?! Perish!" The Emperor's phantom retracted its damaged finger, and its other hand clenched into a fist!

On the fist, an extremely compressed dark star condensed, containing the Emperor's Dao laws capable of devouring all heavens, and it smashed fiercely towards the Progenitor's phantom!

"Fight!" The Progenitor's phantom showed no fear; its giant axe swept across the sky!

On the axe blade, Emperor blood burned, erupting with a dazzling light that illuminated the darkness of eons! The heaven-defying artistic conception of the third form of Sky-Splitting was pushed to its limit!

One axe strike seemed to split this Emperor's phantom, along with the dark Emperor's Dao it represented, back into chaos!

"Dong—!!!!"

The dark star and the sky-splitting giant axe collided again! This time, a terrifying fluctuation capable of destroying a Great Thousand World erupted!

The entire core area of the Ten Million Souls Prostration to Emperor Formation was completely reduced to a state of chaos! Space ceased to exist, and time was disordered and twisted!

Only two figures, imbued with Emperor's might, fought madly in the chaos! Axe light and fist shadows intertwined; each clash caused the heaven and earth energy of the entire Central Domain outside to violently tremble!

"Progenitor... mighty!" Xiao Chen struggled to climb out of the ruins, looking at the ancestor's phantom, standing tall against the heavens and fighting an Emperor, his heart filled with endless shock and pride!

This was the Progenitor of his Xiao Clan! Even if only a wisp of battle imprint remained, he dared to wield his axe against a peak Emperor! What kind of spirit was this! What kind of fighting intent!

But at the same time, he clearly felt that the light of the Progenitor's phantom was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye!

After all, it was just an imprint, with limited energy, unable to last! And that Emperor's phantom, though temporarily suppressed, was of extremely high essence and deep foundation; in a prolonged battle, the Progenitor would undoubtedly be defeated!

"I must... act now!" Xiao Chen endured the severe pain in his soul and body, his gaze fixed on the dark red Emperor Origin crystal in the center of the altar ruins, which was still frantically pulsating and absorbing the last energy of the array!

That was the core array eye of the Ten Million Souls Prostration to Emperor Formation! It was also the key for the Pavilion Master Tianji to forge an Emperor's body! As long as it was destroyed, the array would break, and the Pavilion Master Tianji's conspiracy would fail!

"Pavilion Master Tianji! Your doomsday has arrived!" A desperate light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes! He knew this was the only, and last, chance!

While the Progenitor's phantom held back the Emperor's phantom, he had to... destroy the array eye!

"Chaos to Void! Body into Streamer!" Xiao Chen ignited his last essence of life and soul power!

His body transformed into an extreme chaotic beam of light, ignoring the surrounding violent energy turbulence and spatial fragments, and with super-limit speed, he fiercely... charged towards that dark red crystal!

"Bastard! Don't even think about it!" The Pavilion Master Tianji, who had been maintaining the array with all his might and whose face was pale, let out an enraged roar upon seeing this!

Ignoring his immense consumption, his starlight body lunged out, forming hand seals, and drawing upon all the remaining power of destiny from the array, transforming it into a vast net of destiny that covered the sky and earth, enveloping Xiao Chen!

On the net, countless karmic curses and soul shackles intertwined, vowing to intercept Xiao Chen!

"Break for me...!" Xiao Chen roared, and in his palm, the dim origin qi seed erupted with its last light!

He pointed his fingers like a blade, and a chaotic sky-splitting slash, infused with all his essence, qi, and spirit, fiercely struck the great net of destiny!

"Sizzle—!"

The net of destiny was torn open by the Origin Qi-enhanced slash, creating a huge gap! But the curse power on the net, like venomous snakes, coiled around him, eroding Xiao Chen's soul!

Xiao Chen grunted, black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his speed did not diminish in the slightest, like a burning meteor, he broke through the net's blockade!

"No—!!!!" The Pavilion Master Tianji's eyes were about to burst!

He wanted to block again, but it was... too late!

"Boom—!!!!"

The chaotic beam of light that Xiao Chen had become, squarely impacted the dark red Emperor Origin crystal!

At the moment of impact, Xiao Chen poured all his remaining chaotic holy power, Origin Qi, and... a resolute self-destructive will, all... into it!

"With my body! Sacrifice my soul! Chaos... to Void! Emperor Origin... Annihilate!"

"Crack... crack... boom—!!!!"

The dark red crystal first emitted a cracking sound under the overwhelming pressure, and then... suddenly... exploded!

A destructive energy storm, centered on the crystal, swept out with a roar! The Pavilion Master Tianji, who bore the brunt, screamed, his starlight body instantly shattered into pieces, his aura plummeting, suffering unprecedented severe damage!

And with the destruction of the core array eye, the entire Ten Million Souls Prostration to Emperor Formation, like a giant dragon whose spine had been removed, let out a final unwilling wail, and completely... disintegrated!

The mist of destiny shrouding the Soul Burial Mountain Range rapidly dissipated! The Emperor's phantom, which was fiercely fighting the Progenitor's phantom, also let out a blurred sigh, its figure gradually faded, and finally... vanished into the chaos!

"I succeeded... I... succeeded..." In the energy storm, Xiao Chen's body was severely damaged, and his soul was like a candle in the wind, looking at the collapsing array and the dissipating Pavilion Master Tianji, a smile of... relief difficultly curled on his lips.

His vision began to... blur.

And that Progenitor's phantom, after the Emperor's phantom dissipated, also became almost transparent.

He turned back and glanced at Xiao Chen, who was about to faint; on his blurred face, a hint of... a gratified smile seemed to appear.

Immediately, the phantom transformed into specks of starlight, merging into the clan mark on Xiao Chen's glabella, completely... dissipating.

"Chen'er—!!!!"

In the distance, Xuan Kongzi, Flame Heart, and others, who had finally broken through the outer obstacles of the array, just happened to witness this earth-shattering scene!

Everyone... stood dumbfounded on the spot!
