228: Clash of Imperial Domains, Life and Death Hang in the Balance

“Boom—!!!”

The two great Emperor Domains… collided head-on! It was as if two entirely different worlds were engaged in the most primal and brutal clash and Devour!

Ice Emperor’s ‘Absolute Zero’ Emperor Domain was an boundless frozen kingdom! The sky was a solidified ice-blue firmament, and the earth was made of profound ice that had not melted for ten thousand years! There was no flow of time here, no breath of life, only eternal stillness and coldness! Countless ice crystals coalesced into sharp icebergs and ice spikes, wildly assaulting Xiao Chen’s Chaos Emperor Domain like living creatures!

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen’s Chaos Emperor Domain was a nascent world where earth, water, fire, and wind constantly evolved and perished! Chaos Qi, like a mother’s womb, embraced all things, attempting to decompose and assimilate the invading extreme cold!

“Chichi—!!!”

Two completely different Emperor Dao laws furiously annihilated and clashed at the domain boundary, emitting a grating sound! Ice Emperor’s ice law was extremely overbearing; wherever it passed, even the Chaos Qi began to become sluggish and freeze! But the chaos law, centered on inclusion and evolution, continuously wore down the encroaching cold!

“Hmph… The Dao of Chaos… indeed has some tricks,” Ice Emperor stood in the center of his Emperor Domain, a hint of surprise flashing in his ice-crystal pupils, but it immediately turned into an even colder killing intent! “But… in the face of absolute power… everything is an illusion!”

“Frozen… for eternity!”

He suddenly clapped his hands together! The coldness of the entire frozen Emperor Domain instantly increased several times over! Countless ice-blue law chains emerged from the void, coiling around the Chaos Emperor Domain like venomous snakes, attempting to completely freeze and seal it!

“Crack… crackle…”

Large patches of frost began to appear on the boundary of the Chaos Emperor Domain! The operation of earth, water, fire, and wind within the domain also noticeably slowed down! Xiao Chen could even feel a bone-chilling coldness emanating from his chaos emperor heart!

“Not good! His ice law is too high-tiered!” Xiao Chen’s heart was solemn! This Ice Emperor, in his lifetime, must have been a peak Emperor who had reached the extreme in the Dao of ‘Ice’! His law power was already close to the origin! Far from what he, a newcomer who had just entered the Emperor Realm, could compare to!

“I can’t keep defending passively!” A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes! He bit his tongue sharply! A mouthful of vital blood sprayed onto the star tower suspended above his head!

“With my Emperor Blood… I sacrifice to the stars! All the stars of the heavens… heed my command! Chaos… Star Evolution… Great Formation… activate!”

“Buzz—!!!”

The ninth-story gate of the star tower burst open with a roar! The star stone within the tower, which embodied Star Emperor’s lifelong efforts, erupted with unprecedented brilliant starlight! Numerous thick Power of Starlight beams shot out from the tower! These light beams did not directly attack Ice Emperor but rapidly intertwined and evolved within the Chaos Emperor Domain!

One by one, illusory stars, formed by the combined essence of Chaos Qi and Power of Starlight, were born out of thin air! These stars moved according to an extremely profound trajectory, radiating supreme power that could suppress all heavens and stabilize the universe! They actually temporarily resisted the erosion of the frozen Emperor Domain!

“Hmm? Star Emperor’s Heavenly Star Array?” Ice Emperor let out another surprised sound, seemingly quite wary of this array. “Too bad… you are not Star Emperor! The power of this array in your hands is less than one-tenth of its original!”

“Absolute Zero… Ice Emperor… True Body!”

“Roar—!!!”

Ice Emperor let out an inhuman roar! His body suddenly swelled, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang tall ice-crystal giant! The giant was entirely composed of the purest Emperor Ice, and every movement he made drew upon the power of the entire Emperor Domain! He slammed a punch fiercely towards the star tower in the center of the Chaos Emperor Domain!

“Dong—!!!!!”

This punch seemed to condense the coldness of the entire Perpetual Frozen Ice Plain for eons! The star tower trembled violently! Its body was instantly covered with a thick layer of ice crystals! Even the light of the star stone within the tower dimmed a few shades! Xiao Chen, moreover, felt as if struck by lightning, spitting out another mouthful of golden Emperor Blood! His face was as pale as paper!

“Emperor Xiao!” Outside the Emperor Domain, Flame Emperor and the others, seeing Xiao Chen spit blood, immediately let out shouts of shock and anger! They tried to rush into the Emperor Domain to help, but the destructive energy turbulence generated by the collision of the two great Emperor Domains firmly blocked them, making it impossible to get close!

“Could it be… that today… I truly will perish here?” Xiao Chen felt the rapidly draining power within him and the constantly shrinking range of the Chaos Emperor Domain, a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart. This Ice Emperor was too strong! Far from what he could currently contend with!

“No… I cannot give up yet!” He suddenly looked up, a hint of mad determination flashing in his eyes! “There’s… one last move!”

“chaos emperor heart… origin… burn! star tower… Ninth Layer… Restriction… Open for me!”

“Boom—!!!”

Xiao Chen actually began to burn his own Emperor Realm origin! A surge of power, far exceeding what came before, poured into the star tower! The last layer of runes on the tower’s body, which had always been dim, suddenly lit up! A vast and boundless aura, as if from the ancient starry sky, awakened from within the tower!

“This is…?” Even Ice Emperor showed a trace of solemnity!

“Star Emperor’s… last gift… to me…” Xiao Chen’s lips were bleeding, yet he revealed a cold smile.

“Take my… final move…”

“Chaos… Star… Annihilation… Blast!”
