321: The flawed jade is the king (sixty).
Above the Emperors Fall Platform, a three-way standoff.
Wang Yun, Chen You, Ye Chen.
The Qi between the three collided fiercely in the Void Realm, causing the Laws to become chaotic and Chaos Qi to surge.
"Two emperor seats, for the three of us."
Chen You was the first to break the silence. He looked at Wang Yun, his tone calm but unquestionable.
"You, go down yourself."
Almost at the same time, Ye Chen, who had been silent, also spoke slowly.
The two of them, by coincidence, chose to join forces to first eliminate Wang Yun, the biggest variable, from the game.
Wang Yun smiled.
He looked at the two in front of him.
Their auras, their expressions, and even the tacit understanding when they joined forces, seemed to be carved from the same mold.
"Interesting."
Wang Yun murmured softly, shaking his head.
"I originally wanted to fight you fairly, but since you're eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
"Just you alone?"
Chen You scoffed. The Phoenix phantom behind him let out a high-pitched cry, and crimson-gold flames shot up into the sky.
Ye Chen did not speak, but the clang from the sheathless ancient sword behind him already showed his attitude.
Facing the combined pressure of two top Prodigies, Wang Yun's expression remained calm.
"Perhaps, it's still not enough."
He slowly raised his hand.
A faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation, as if not belonging to this era, carrying an aura of annihilation and End, flashed across his chest.
Buzz!
The moment this trace of aura leaked out, the confidence on Chen You and Ye Chen's faces instantly vanished.
They felt a bone-chilling cold, and their Divine Souls trembled.
That feeling was indescribable.
It was as if their existence, their Dao, everything they were proud of, would be completely erased and return to nothingness before that trace of aura.
Not just them.
Outside the Emperors Fall Platform, those Prodigies who had fortunately survived and were watching from afar also felt an inexplicable palpitation at this moment.
"What... what kind of aura is that?"
"I feel... my Dao fruit is about to shatter!"
"So terrifying... as if it's going to be completely wiped out!"
Panic spread through the crowd.
Wang Yun looked at the two pale-faced "same people" opposite him, retracted that trace of aura, and spoke indifferently.
"Now, do you still think two people are enough?"
He paused, his tone turning cold.
"If I fight to the death, I can still drag one of you down with me."
Chen You and Ye Chen exchanged glances, both seeing the solemnity and apprehension in each other's eyes.
They fell silent.
Wang Yun's threat was not empty bluster.
They couldn't stop that power.
But, the emperor seat was right before them.
The only Opportunity in all eternity was right before their eyes.
Retreat?
Absolutely impossible!
"Fight!"
Without words, the two instantly reached a consensus.
Since reasoning wouldn't work, then strength would speak!
Boom!
Chen You attacked first. His body merged with the Phoenix, transforming into a crimson-gold stream of light, carrying the Phoenix True Fire that could burn all things, and rushed straight towards Wang Yun.
At the same time, Ye Chen moved.
The sheathless ancient sword in his hand finally left its sheath.
Clang!
A simple, pure, yet seemingly capable of severing all ages Sword Light, arrived later but struck first, directly slashing at Wang Yun's head.
Wang Yun took a deep breath, his Battle Intent growing even stronger.
"Good timing!"
He did not retreat, but chose the most arrogant and domineering method.
One against two!
"Myriad Things Born!"
Facing Chen You's Phoenix True Fire, Wang Yun activated his heart of flora. Countless divine vines rose from the ground, transforming into layers of green barriers, attempting to block it.
At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, meeting Ye Chen's astonishing sword strike.
"Punish Heaven!"
Sword Qi soared into the sky, carrying a fearless will that dared to defy Heaven, and crashed head-on with Ye Chen's Sword Light.
The fierce battle erupted instantly.
Wang Yun, alone, fought against two top Prodigies.
He used the Myriad Things Born Divine Ability, combined with the Heart Heavy Pupils' prediction, to continuously resolve and delay Chen You's offensive, making his always-victorious extreme speed constrained everywhere.
On the other side, he poured out his Sword Dao insights accumulated over nine Reincarnations without reservation, engaging in the purest Sword Dao duel with Ye Chen.
Unity.
Sever Self.
Punish Heaven.
Heart Sword.
The four great sword moves rotated in his hands, at times domineering, at times strange, at times resolute.
The Sword Light of the two intertwined above the Emperors Fall Platform. Each collision caused space to shatter and Laws to vibrate.
However, Ye Chen's sword was too strong.
His understanding of the Sword Dao was extremely profound, as if he was born for the sword.
"Sword Scripture, Open!"
After a long battle, Ye Chen also seemed to lose patience.
He roared, and the pure Sword Intent on his body surged explosively. A power of the Sword Scripture, far more profound and terrifying than Wang Yun's understanding, wildly overflowed.
The ancient sword in his hand seemed to come alive, transforming into a true Dragon composed of Sword Qi, roaring as it devoured Wang Yun.
Wang Yun smiled.
"Sword Scripture?"
"I can too."
He also activated his understanding of the Sword Scripture.
However, as soon as the two forces of the same origin met, Wang Yun's sword momentum was repeatedly defeated.
He lost.
In the mastery of the Sword Scripture, he lost quickly and thoroughly.
But he was not discouraged; instead, he became even more excited.
He quickly changed his moves, using the four sword moves he created to barely resist Ye Chen's increasingly violent offensive.
The two were once again in a stalemate.
Just then.
Rip!
A spatial rift, without any warning, tore open behind Wang Yun.
It was Chen You!
He had actually forcefully burned through the Myriad Things Born's blockade with Phoenix True Fire, and with terrifying speed, circled behind Wang Yun.
A Phoenix divine claw, burning with crimson-gold flames, charged with unparalleled might, directly aiming for Wang Yun's heart.
This strike was too fast, too sudden.
Wang Yun was fully engaged with Ye Chen; his old strength was exhausted, and new strength had not yet emerged.
There was no avoiding it.
If this strike hit, he was bound to lose.
However, just an instant before the Phoenix divine claw was about to touch his back.
Wang Yun smiled.
He smiled coldly, as if he had anticipated everything.
"Finally, it's here."
He seemed to have foreseen this scene long ago.
The Heart Heavy Pupils in Wang Yun's eyes flickered, clearly having used the "Precognition" Divine Ability to see this scene.
He didn't turn back.
An aura of annihilation capable of erasing eras erupted from within him.
Light of the Epoch!
That seemingly formless and insubstantial light, yet containing the supreme Law of destruction, arrived later but struck first, directly hitting the incoming Phoenix divine claw and spreading up the arm to Chen You's entire body.
"Argh—!"
Chen You let out a scream.
The smugness on his face instantly turned to horror.
He could clearly feel his Physical Body, Divine Soul, and dao lotus being "erased" from this world, little by little, by an irresistible force.
The battle was decided.
The ultimate winners were Wang Yun and Ye Chen.
Wang Yun no longer paid attention to Chen You, who was slowly being swallowed by the Light of the Epoch behind him.
He also didn't turn back to look at Ye Chen's complex gaze.
He walked step by step towards the two emperor seats suspended in mid-air, exuding endless temptation.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
He walked slowly, yet very firmly.
Under the gaze of all, he walked to the center of the Emperors Fall Platform, only one last step away from the emperor seats.
He stopped.
Because, at this very moment.
Buzz—!
His Heart Heavy Pupils, without any warning, opened on their own and began to tremble violently.
A strong premonition of danger made him shudder.
It didn't come from an external threat.
Instead... it originated from himself!
The Heart Heavy Pupils' "Precognition" Divine Ability was passively activated.
The world before his eyes instantly shattered.
A blurry, yet incredibly real future scene, forcibly flooded his mind.
He "saw" it.
He saw himself, under the gaze of countless people, filled with pride, sitting upon the emperor seat that symbolized supreme glory.
He saw the heavens heart imprint above the firmament transform into a stream of light, descending to completely fuse with his Supreme Body and his dao lotus.
And at that very instant.
The Azure Heaven Indestructible Art within him, which had long been dormant, suddenly began to operate uncontrollably and frantically.
An astonishing devouring power erupted.
The heavens heart imprint had no chance to resist and was directly devoured and refined by that Cultivation Technique.
Immediately after.
He "saw" that something had appeared within his body after the Cultivation Technique refined the heavens heart imprint... something cold, emotionless, something he couldn't understand... Crack!
The scene stopped abruptly here.
Wang Yun grunted, and two lines of blood flowed from his eyes.
His Heart Heavy Pupils, during this brief Precognition, were covered in cracks, almost being destroyed on the spot.
