141: Chapter 141 The Death Struggle of a Pseudo-Immortal King
Upper Realm, Thirty-Three Heavens, Lingxiao Immortal Palace.
"Die."
When that single word from Lin Que, flat yet carrying the weight of absolute judgment, fell.
The air of the entire Thirty-Three Heavens seemed to be completely sucked dry at this moment.
"Drip... drip..."
Broken fragments of the Imperial Seal were scattered before the Nine Dragon Imperial Throne; the pure golden Origin blood overflowing from the Immortal Emperor's mouth dripped onto the flawless Grandmist Immortal Jade, appearing exceptionally piercing.
This high and mighty Dominator of the Major Thousand Worlds, who had ruled the Upper Realm for a million years, was now staring fixedly at the white-clothed youth standing ten zhang away.
He could clearly feel that the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation aura within Lin Que, which had just broken through, was not a normal cultivation Realm at all!
It was a perfectly closed-loop "Hundred Thousand Li Independent Universe" possessing the five Great Origin Laws: Gold (Order), Gray (Space), Green (Vitality), Dark Silver (Time), and Dark Yellow (Thick Earth)!
Before this "Creator" pressure, independent of the Major Thousand Worlds, the Immortal Emperor actually felt an absurd urge to prostrate himself in worship!
"Impossible... This is absolutely impossible..."
The Immortal Emperor's face, which had remained unruffled for eons, was completely contorted. He suddenly stood up straight, his previously bound imperial crown exploding as his head of purple hair danced wildly like mad snakes.
"This Emperor is the Heavenly Dao's orthodox successor! Commissioned by Heaven!! How can a mere ant who crawled up from the Lower Realm steal the Heavenly Dao Order?! How can you possess an inner heaven and earth?!!"
"Because your Heaven is too weak."
Lin Que held the true immortal artifact: world meteor in one hand. His twenty-five-million-jin dark gold Demon God Body didn't emit even a shred of Dharmic power fluctuation, but simply by standing there, the surrounding space let out continuous "crack-crack" moans of agony, unable to bear such terrifying physical mass.
"Hand over your position and leave with some dignity; you might still leave behind a whole corpse."
Lin Que gave a lazy yawn. Having just broken through to Great Perfection, he felt his entire body filled with a violent power that had nowhere to be released.
"Dignity? Hahahaha!!!"
The Immortal Emperor suddenly let out an extremely frantic, miserable laugh.
"This Emperor has governed the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands for a million years! Even if we perish together, it is not the place of a Devil Head from the Lower Realm like you to judge me!!"
"Since you destroyed my Imperial Seal and stripped me of my Law of the Word..."
The Immortal Emperor's eyes instantly turned pure pitch-black, and a frantic aura of total destruction erupted from within him!
"Then this Emperor shall sacrifice the million years of Luck and heritage of this Thirty-Three Heavens to drag a monster like you to Hell with me!!!"
"Supreme Forbidden Law—[Heavenly Dao Collapse · Ten Thousand Daos Return to Me]!!!"
Rumble————!!!!
Along with the Immortal Emperor's frantic roar, the entire Lingxiao Immortal Palace shook violently!
The billions of top-grade immortal veins buried beneath the Thirty-Three Heavens were simultaneously detonated by the Immortal Emperor in the most resolute manner!
Endless purple-gold Luck and immortal Dao Origin transformed into a storm that swept back through the Nine Heavens, frantically pouring into the Immortal Emperor's body!
"Crack, crack!"
The Immortal Emperor's cultivation, which had been stuck at the peak of the Void Returning Realm, actually forcibly broke through the dimensional barrier under this desperate, self-destructive infusion!
A terrifying pressure that surpassed the Void Returning Realm and truly touched the threshold of immortality swept across the entire Universe! The Pseudo Immortal King Realm!!!
"He's crazy!! The Immortal Emperor is destroying his own Foundation! The Thirty-Three Heavens is going to collapse!!"
On the plaza below, the Lingxiao Imperial Guards, who had been injured by Lin Que's stomp, were filled with terror.
The Immortal Emperor was going for a mutual destruction!
"Die!!!"
Having broken through to the Pseudo Immortal King Realm, the Immortal Emperor was bleeding from his seven orifices, looking like a malevolent ghost.
He grabbed at the void with both hands, and the Law fragments of the collapsing Thirty-Three Heavens were forcibly condensed by him into a ten-thousand-zhang long, transparent giant sword emitting an aura of ultimate destruction! The [Heavenly Dao Execution Sword]!
"Slash!!!"
Gripping the sword with both hands, the Immortal Emperor brought it crashing down toward the top of Lin Que's head with all the power of the Pseudo Immortal King Realm and the spite of this Major Thousand Worlds seeking mutual destruction!
This strike locked down all of Lin Que's spatial escape routes, ignored the flow of time, and intended to forcibly shatter his inner heaven and earth!
Facing such a world-ending strike capable of restarting the Universe.
Lin Que stood his ground, his crimson cloak snapping in the storm of destruction.
He did not retreat.
In those heterochromatic eyes, there was no fear; instead, they flickered with the extreme excitement of seeing a top-tier tonic!
"That's more like it. A Boss should act like a Boss; otherwise, who would I find to consolidate my newly broken-through Realm?"
Lin Que tilted his head back slightly and issued a domineering command in his mind:
"System. This old geezer wants to forcibly format my hard drive. Show him what a top-tier rogue software looks like."
"Ding! Your super firewall is online! Currently receiving the enemy's remaining assets for you in full!"
Buzz————!!!
The moment the System's Heaven-Defying logic activated!
Lin Que didn't just fail to raise the jie yun blade to block; he even arrogantly... threw away the long saber in his hand!
"What is he doing?! Is he crazy? Catching an Immortal King's sword with his bare hands?!!"
The thirty-six Soul Transformation Divine Generals lingering below nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Under the Immortal Emperor's incredulous gaze.
Lin Que's knees bent slightly, and the Grandmist Immortal Jade beneath his feet collapsed in large swathes.
He suddenly reached out with his bare hands, which glowed with a dark gold luster, and slammed them together toward the ten-thousand-zhang Heavenly Dao Execution Sword that carried the power to destroy heaven and earth!
"Stop... for me!!!"
"Clang————!!!!!"
A metallic clash that seemed capable of shaking a person's Soul into powder boomed above the Lingxiao Immortal Palace!
Time, at this moment, completely froze!
That Pseudo Immortal King giant sword, capable of slashing through stars, was actually caught dead between Lin Que's seemingly insignificant bare palms! It couldn't press down even a fraction further!
"Impossible!!!!"
The Immortal Emperor spat out a mouthful of gold blood, his eyes filled with despair.
His desperate strike at the Pseudo Immortal King Realm was actually caught by pure physical strength?!
"With twenty-five million jin of strength, is it hard to catch your broken sword?"
A devilish grin curled on Lin Que's lips. Although his dark gold Demon God Body was vibrating intensely, not even a single cut had been opened on it!
Immediately after.
Within Lin Que's body, the Blood Scripture and the hundred-thousand-li inner heaven and earth let out earth-shaking roars simultaneously!
"Crack... crack..."
Under the Immortal Emperor's horrified gaze.
The [Heavenly Dao Execution Sword], condensed from the Luck of the entire Thirty-Three Heavens, actually began to shatter inch by inch between Lin Que's palms!
Under the System's conversion, those shattered Law fragments and Luck Origin turned into an extremely pure and vast torrent of creation, frantically pouring into Lin Que's body through his palms!
"Ugh-ah—"
Lin Que let out an extremely refreshed long howl toward the sky!
His newly broken-through Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation Realm, which had been slightly unstable, was instantly solidified and made indestructible by this frantic infusion of Pseudo Immortal King Realm Luck!
The World Tree within his inner heaven and earth, after absorbing this ultimate fertilizer, saw its fifth Leaf of Order glow with brilliant gold light, firmly suppressing this hundred-thousand-li small Universe!
"You... what on earth are you..."
Seeing his ultimate move, which he had sacrificed everything to condense, become the nourishment to consolidate his opponent's Realm, the Immortal Emperor's Dao Heart completely and utterly shattered at this moment.
He let go of the sword and seemed to age a million years in an instant, slumping back onto the Nine Dragon Imperial Throne in dejection.
"What am I?"
Lin Que disdainfully crushed the last remnants of the sword hilt in his hand into powder.
He kicked up the true immortal artifact: world meteor from the ground and caught it in his hand.
Then, with one step, Lin Que crossed dozens of zhang and arrived directly in front of the Immortal Emperor.
He looked down at this once unattainable Dominator of the Universe.
There was no pity, no mockery, only extreme coldness and dominance.
"I am the one sending you on your way."
"Puchi——!!!"
Without giving the Immortal Emperor any chance to leave behind last words.
Lin Que delivered a backhand slash; the dark gold saber qi, mixed with the weight of a world, pierced through the Immortal Emperor's chest with absolute directness and brutality!
The blade's momentum didn't slow down, carrying the Immortal Emperor's body with a "thud" and pinning this Dominator of the Upper Realm firmly to the back of the Nine Dragon Imperial Throne he had sat on for a million years!
"Ugh..."
The Immortal Emperor's eyes bulged as he stared at Lin Que. His remaining life force and true spirit were completely shredded by the Laws of the inner heaven and earth under this strike, turning into specks of gold light that dissipated in the cold wind of the Lingxiao Immortal Palace.
The Dominator of the Upper Realm, the Immortal Emperor. Fallen!
"Victory to the Lord!!! Slaying the Nine Heavens!!!"
"The Demon Venerable is invincible!!!"
On the white jade plaza below, the hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Dragon Cavalry, who had witnessed this scene, let out hysterical, earth-shaking cheers that rocked the Thirty-Three Heavens!
They had won!
They had followed this man, slaughtering their way up from the Lower Realm, and had truly pierced through the Heavens of the Upper Realm!
"Clang! Clang!"
The remaining Lingxiao Imperial Guards, seeing the Immortal Emperor pinned to the throne, completely lost their Souls. They threw down their immortal weapons one after another and knelt in despair, prostrating themselves before the white-clothed figure.
Amidst the mountain-shaking, tsunami-like cheers.
Lin Que slowly pulled out the jie yun blade pinned in the Immortal Emperor's chest.
As if kicking away trash, he casually kicked the Immortal Emperor's corpse off the Nine Dragon Imperial Throne.
Then, under the gaze of a million pairs of eyes filled with awe, fanaticism, and fear.
Lin Que flicked his crimson cloak, which was stained with a few drops of immortal blood, and sat down on that Nine Dragon Imperial Throne—the symbol of the highest power in the Major Thousand Worlds—with extreme laziness and dominance.
He propped the jie yun blade by his feet and rested his chin on one hand.
His deep heterochromatic eyes looked down upon the vast and boundless Thirty-Three Heavens.
A wild smile curled at the corners of his mouth:
"This chair is indeed a bit harder than the one in the Immortal Slaying Pavilion."
"But, the view is quite nice."
