212: Suppressing Hyotei

The Ice Emperor said indifferently, "A pity, there are no 'ifs' in this world."

"Frozen for eternity."

The Ice Emperor shook his arms, and the power of the Dao of Ice and its Laws erupted. Hundreds of millions of miles of the Void Realm instantly froze. Endless ice surged like a wild tide toward the Martial God, freezing even space into eternity ice crystals wherever it passed.

However, the Martial God only smiled contemptuously. He slowly raised his right fist and threw a simple punch.

This punch had no fancy Moves, yet it contained ultimate power. Wherever the fist reached, the frozen space for hundreds of millions of miles shattered like a mirror, and the Laws of Ice and the Dao were forcibly dispersed.

"Utterly weak," the Martial God said coldly. His figure suddenly vanished, and in the next instant, he was right in front of the Ice Emperor. Shadows of his fists poured down like a rainstorm, striking hundreds of millions of times in a flash, each punch carrying the great power to shatter stars.

The Ice Emperor's pupils constricted. He crossed his arms, and layers of ice barriers stacked up in an attempt to block.

However, the Martial God's fist momentum was unstoppable, piercing through the ice walls as if they were made of paper.

Countless fist imprints slammed into the Ice Emperor's body. The sound of bones shattering was incessant, and Emperor's blood sprayed, turning into ice crystals that filled the sky.

"Boom—!" The final punch landed, and the Ice Emperor flew backward like a meteor for hundreds of millions of miles, smashing through countless spatial barriers.

"Martial God, do you really think this Emperor will be defeated so easily?" A hint of madness flashed in the Ice Emperor's eyes as he suddenly let out a sharp shriek.

Previously, he had only burned Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates, but now, he held nothing back—Laws, the Dao, Small World, Supreme Godhead, divine body, Divine Soul, everything burned within the ice flames.

The Ice Emperor formed hand Seals, and the power of extreme cold erupted. In an instant, the Void Realm froze, time seemed to stagnate, and even the Martial God's fist momentum slowed slightly.

Immediately after, a brilliant "Freezing Ray" shot from his fingertips. Wherever it passed, all things were silenced, and even Laws were frozen into ice shards.

However, the Martial God sneered. His fist momentum changed again, and the blood Qi around him exploded like a blazing sun, forcibly shattering the freezing power. He took a step forward, his fist like a collapsing heaven, striking at the Ice Emperor once more.

The Ice Emperor retreated repeatedly, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. A hint of despair finally appeared in his eyes.

"In the end... am I still no match?" He felt bitter in his heart, but his Battle Intent had not been extinguished. Even if defeat was certain, he would fight until the last moment.

"Boom."

The Ice Emperor's body fell like a broken kite, his Emperor's blood drawing a tragic ice trail in the Void Realm.

The Martial God's fist shadows followed closely like maggots on a bone, each strike causing spiderweb-like cracks to break out on the Ice Emperor's divine body.

His ice Small World was already in pieces, and the Laws that had frozen eternity could not even solidify his own blood now.

The Martial God's right fist suddenly condensed a golden light as blazing as a great sun. The Ice Emperor barely raised his broken arm, but before the ice barrier could form, that fist light crashed into his chest—

"Crack!"

The sound of the Supreme Godhead shattering was as crisp as glass hitting the ground. The Ice Emperor's pupils suddenly dilated, and the Supreme Heavenly Mandate burning around him were extinguished like a candle in the wind.

He lay flat in the rift of the Void Realm, looking up at the collapsing ice crystal firmament. In a daze, he saw the years of his ten-thousand-year campaign flashing before his eyes.

The star rivers he had frozen and the realms that had submitted to him now turned into fine ice dust, rustling down into the endless abyss.

The Martial God walked through the Void Realm, his toes crushing the frozen Laws of time along the way. He looked down at his dying opponent.

A speck of faint blue cold light suddenly burst from the Ice Emperor's mangled fingertips.

A deathbed strike.

The moment that cold light touched the Martial God's robe, the entire Star Domain suddenly collapsed into a singularity of absolute zero.

"Futile."

A cold huff from the Martial God came from the center of the frozen singularity. The collapsed Void Realm suddenly bulged with the outline of a fist imprint, then exploded violently.

In the Void Realm, the Ice Emperor's mangled body floated like a broken kite.

His divine body was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and his Emperor's blood had long run dry, turning into countless ice crystal fragments scattered in the endless darkness.

His Divine Soul was like a candle in the wind, flickering uncertainly, each flash accompanied by the sound of the Supreme Godhead shattering.

The once-brilliant Great Dao of Ice was now shattered, turning into dots of ice-blue light particles, ruthlessly swallowed by the turbulent flows of the Void Realm.

The Martial God walked through the air, his blood Qi as deep as an abyss and as vast as a sea. Every step made the nearby stars tremble.

He looked down at his dying opponent, respect in his eyes.

"What you gained by burning everything is nothing more than delaying the time of your defeat."

The Ice Emperor's aura was extremely weak, as if he would be completely annihilated in this dead silence in the next moment.

The Martial God raised his hand and waved, a brilliant golden rune appearing in his palm. As the rune circulated, it transformed into countless chains that wrapped around the Ice Emperor's body.

The chains pierced through the Ice Emperor's divine body, each one inscribed with the power of Laws that suppressed eternity, stripping and imprisoning his Divine Soul, Supreme Godhead, and Dao Origin one by one.

The Ice Emperor's body trembled violently, but he was powerless to resist, forced to let the chains erode his existence bit by bit.

His Laws of Ice were stripped away, turning into crystalline fragments that were collected into the Martial God's palm; his Supreme Heavenly Mandate were Sealed, turning into an ice-blue rune floating before the Martial God.

Finally, the Martial God opened the Small World within him. It was a vast and boundless world where mountains and rivers were formed from Laws, and the sun, moon, and stars were condensed from the Dao.

With a wave of his hand, the Ice Emperor's mangled body was dragged by endless chains, falling into the deepest part of that world.

The God Emperor of Absolute Beginning stood in the Void Realm, the surrounding Dao surging and Laws shattering.

A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, his fingers clenched so hard his knuckles turned white.

He knew that if he didn't risk his life now, he might not even have a chance to escape today.

"In that case, I'll burn everything." He let out a low growl, and brilliant divine light suddenly erupted from his body. Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates that blotted out the sky appeared behind him, like eleven roaring Dragons.

In the next instant, he ignited them all without hesitation. The moment the Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates burned, the Void Realm trembled. Infinite power surged into his body like a wild tide, his aura skyrocketing instantly, causing even the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch from the pressure.

The Five Elements Immortal Emperor's pupils constricted, his heart turning cold: "He's actually burning all his Supreme Heavenly Mandate?!"

The Supreme Heavenly Mandate are the Foundation of an Immortal Emperor. Once burned, one might recover after a few hundred or thousand years at best, or die and have their Dao vanish at worst.

But the God Emperor of Absolute Beginning now had no more reservations; only heaven-toppling Battle Intent remained in his eyes.

"Divine Light of Absolute Beginning—Break!" the God Emperor of Absolute Beginning roared. A divine light that spanned heaven and earth condensed in his palm, pouring down like a star river and striking directly at the Five Elements Immortal Emperor.

The Five Elements Immortal Emperor did not dare to be careless. He fully activated his Eleven Supreme Heavenly Fates, and the Five Elements Divine Light intertwined into a vast barrier in an attempt to block.

However, after burning his mandates, the God Emperor of Absolute Beginning's combat power far exceeded what it was before. Wherever the divine light passed, the Five Elements barrier shattered inch by inch.

"Boom—!" The Void Realm exploded, and the Five Elements Immortal Emperor was blown back several million miles, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

He was horrified, but he didn't dare to take the attack head-on. He could only flicker his figure, fighting while retreating.

The God Emperor of Absolute Beginning's offensive was like a violent storm, each strike containing the power to destroy heaven and earth, forcing the Five Elements Immortal Emperor to retreat repeatedly.

Just as the Five Elements Immortal Emperor was struggling to hold on, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the God Emperor of Absolute Beginning. Seizing a tiny flaw in his opponent's defense, he suddenly struck out with a palm.

The Void Realm was forcibly torn apart by this palm strike. Without hesitation, he leaped into the spatial rift.

The Five Elements Immortal Emperor stabilized himself, looking at the gradually closing spatial rift, and ultimately did not pursue.

He gave a cold snort and turned to look at the other battlefields. In the endless Void Realm, divine light and immortal radiance intertwined. The battles of several God Emperors and Immortal Emperors were also nearing their end, and the outcome was about to be decided.
