229: The Emperor's Heart Ignites the Stars, A Counterattack from Desperate Circumstances

"Chaos… Star… Annihilation… Explode!"

Xiao Chen’s roar was filled with a desperate resolve, as if he was willing to perish together with his enemy! The Chaos Emperor Mark on his brow suddenly became blindingly bright, like a star about to go supernova!

The core of the entire Chaos Emperor Domain—the chaos emperor heart that had only recently condensed—was now beating frantically at an unprecedented speed, pumping out not gentle Emperor power, but the most intensely blazing primordial fire!

This fire was the fire of life, the fire of the soul, and even the burning of his Emperor Realm foundation!

With every bit it burned, Xiao Chen’s aura weakened, but his gaze grew sharper, as if he wanted to ignite the formidable enemy before him, along with this cold world.

"Om—!!!"

Receiving the frantic infusion of Xiao Chen’s primordial chaos emperor heart, the star tower let out a pained wail under the strain, but the light from its body surged to an unprecedented level!

The star stone at the top of the tower, even more so, erupted with a blinding chaos star light, like a primeval beast breaking free from all restraints!

Crack! Crackle!

The last forbidden rune on the ninth floor of the star tower finally… completely… shattered under the impact of the primordial fire!

A desolate, ancient, destructive energy, as if from the very beginning of the universe, like a dormant volcano, suddenly… awakened!

"With my chaos emperor heart, I sacrifice the star! Draw forth… the power of… Chaos… Return to the Void!"

Xiao Chen clapped his hands together forcefully!

The star tower no longer suppressed, but suddenly… contracted… inward!

The ten-thousand-zhang tower, along with the Heaven and Earth Star Array that had evolved within it, and all the power Xiao Chen released by burning his chaos emperor heart, at this moment, was forcibly compressed into a… chaos-colored… light dot… smaller than a fist!

That light dot was extremely… tiny, yet it exuded… extreme… danger!

Around the light dot, space… silently… annihilated, and time… seemed… completely… to stop!

A wave of destruction, which even made Ice Emperor’s ten-thousand-year-frozen face… drastically change, locked onto him!

"You… dare… burn your chaos emperor heart?! Madman!"

Ice Emperor’s usually indifferent voice, for the first time… carried a trace of… genuine… shock and fury!

He could feel that the tiny light dot contained… power… capable of threatening the very foundation of his Emperor body!

That was… the ultimate… annihilation… produced by the forced fusion of… Chaos and Star… two supreme powers… under the will of destruction!

"Let’s… annihilate together!" Xiao Chen’s face showed a frantic and tragic smile as he used his last bit of strength to fiercely… push the Chaos Star light dot… towards Ice Emperor!

"No—!!!" Ice Emperor let out a sharp roar, and his ten-thousand-zhang ice crystal body… instantly… erupted with… hundreds of millions of… ice-blue… Emperor Marks!

The power of the entire Absolute Zero Emperor Domain frantically… converged before him, solidifying into a… ‘Profound Ice Emperor Shield’… a thousand zhang thick, inscribed with countless primordial ice runes!

This was his ultimate defensive Emperor art!

He believed that even if the opponent burned his chaos emperor heart, with a cultivation at the initial Emperor Realm, it would be absolutely impossible to break through his ultimate defense as a peak Emperor!

However—

The Chaos Star light dot, upon contact with the Profound Ice Emperor Shield, did not… cause… an earth-shattering explosion.

Instead… it silently… permeated through!

As if… that thousand-zhang Emperor Shield… simply… didn’t exist!

"What?!" Ice Emperor’s pupils… suddenly… constricted to pinpricks!

A chill… from the depths of his soul… instantly… swept through his entire body!

He… simply… had no time… to react!

That light dot… had already… imprinted itself on his… chest!

"Sizzle…"

A faint, almost negligible sound.

The next moment—

"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!!!!!!!!"

An indescribable… light of destruction… erupted from Ice Emperor’s chest!

That light… was not… merely chaos-colored or starlight, but a kind of… absolute ‘nothingness’… that devoured all colors and annihilated all forms!

Wherever the light passed, Ice Emperor’s ten-thousand-zhang Emperor body… silently… melted away… like ice and snow… under the sun!

The Emperor Marks around him… snapped inch by inch!

His famed Absolute Zero Emperor Domain… collapsed… and disintegrated… like fragile glass!

"Impossible… Master… save me…" Ice Emperor let out one last… thought wave filled with unwillingness and fear, and his entire existence… was completely… swallowed… and annihilated… by that light of destruction!

Not even a speck of dust… remained!

A… peak-state… ancient Emperor… thus… fell!

As for Xiao Chen, who unleashed this desperate strike, the moment the light dot left his hand, he… blacked out, and his consciousness… completely… plunged into… boundless darkness!

His body… fell… powerlessly… from the sky… like a kite with a broken string!

His aura… was extremely… weak, and the Emperor Mark on his brow… was dim, as if… it could extinguish… at any moment!

"Emperor Xiao!"

"Brother Chen!"

With the Emperor Domain dissipating, Flame Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Flame Heart, and others from the outside… finally… rushed in!

They… caught the falling Xiao Chen, feeling his almost… imperceptible vitality, and everyone’s faces… were filled with… grief and… despair!

Did they win?

Perhaps… they won. The terrifying Ice Emperor… was indeed… eliminated.

But… the cost… was too great!

Xiao Chen… burned his primordial chaos emperor heart… could he… still… survive?

And just as everyone… was burning with anxiety… over Xiao Chen’s injuries—

The… original… ten-thousand-zhang ice tower… where Ice Emperor was, the ice coffin… that had been blown away… at the top, suddenly… once again… emitted… a faint… light.

A wave of will… even more… obscure… and more… profound… than Ice Emperor’s… rippled out… like ripples on water… slowly… spreading… as if… something… even more… terrifying… had not… completely… disappeared… with Ice Emperor’s demise…
