Chapter 2088: Chapter 1460: Finale of the Ultimate Battle
In the Outer Star Heaven.
Qingping raised the gourd high and took a big swig of wine, grinning as he said: "Spectacular, truly spectacular! It’s been years since I witnessed such a marvelous battle, the all-destroying hand of Heavenly Dao, the sword light that obliterates Heaven and Earth, it even makes this Sect Hierarch’s blood boil!"
"Amitabha Buddha..."
Duo E looked at the shattered right hand of the Jade Emperor and said: "Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor was defeated, even after using that hand of destruction against Heavenly Dao.
The World-Ending Right Hand, wielding Heavenly Tribulation’s might, even a humble monk like me might not have been able to overcome him, yet such a hegemon could not step beyond the boundary of One Star Heaven..."
Qingping’s gaze fell on Su Yuan, and he said: "Indeed, until the very last moment, I did not think anyone could withstand that devastating hand, but... nothing is set in stone, which makes it all the more intriguing."
"It seems, the Southern Star Sky... or rather the Kan Position Star Sky’s Star Lord, is none other than this Yu Huang Su Yuan." Duo E looked up toward the Sky Edge, "With one corner missing in the Eight Directions Star Sky, the Land of the End will appear, and the ultimate showdown is about to begin."
Qingping’s lips curled up, and he said: "This Sect Hierarch eagerly anticipates this battle. Apart from Brother, no one has yet made me fight with all my strength... It’s been too long since I’ve enjoyed such a thrilling battle!"
Southern Star Sky, Outer Void.
"To think that I, this Emperor, would lose."
The Jade Emperor looked at his right hand, which had burst into a mist of blood, and the killing intent and hostility in his eyes faded, returning to their original cold indifference.
"I oversee the rise and fall of the Heavenly Dao, believing myself invincible in the world. After reigning over the Southern Star Sky and subduing Star Lords from various quarters, I sought to break through to the Emperor Realm during the Great Tribulation, yet today, I first succumbed to your hands..."
Su Yuan said: "All things in the world are ever-changing; even emperors and Heavenly Dao cannot grasp everything entirely.
However... Your Excellency Jade Emperor is indeed exceedingly formidable; I was merely fortunate to have my destiny at hand and finally acquire a complete Sword Array to narrowly surpass you."
"It was not mere luck." The Jade Emperor shook his head slightly.
"I have cultivated for countless millennia, whereas you have cultivated for only a century. The time advantage here can hardly be compensated by mere ’fortune’.
In today’s battle, I have exerted all efforts, and even in defeat, there is no remorse, nor any excuses."
Great warriors all have a longing for combat; otherwise, phrases like "invincible loneliness" or "solitary quest for defeat" wouldn’t exist.
Even if the Jade Emperor commanded the Heavenly Dao with heartless dominance, this all-out, strongest battle greatly pleased him, especially after achieving complete mastery of the Divine Skill and Heaven’s right hand.
Hence, as far as the battle itself is concerned, the Jade Emperor has no regrets.
It’s just that upon death and Dao dispersing, with no hope of ascension to the Upper Realm, there lies the regret and helplessness.
The Jade Emperor fixed his gaze on Su Yuan and said: "Since I have been defeated, I should naturally depart with the wind, but before that, I still have a request..."
Su Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty Jade Emperor, please state your request."
The Jade Emperor said: "I hope you must ascend to the Emperor Realm this time!"
For a hegemon like the Jade Emperor who nearly dominated One Star Heaven for countless years, his pride can no longer be described as mere "arrogance", but rather "sovereign over the world, only I am supreme".
The Jade Emperor would not consider himself defeated by negligence or bad luck to a ’nameless junior’ who has cultivated for only a hundred years.
Instead, in the Jade Emperor’s view, someone who can defeat even himself in a mere hundred years’ cultivation is so incredible that perhaps this is truly the one destined by fate.
Since that is the case, this person should defeat everyone under the heavens and achieve that legendary realm.
The Jade Emperor would not wish to see the one who ascends by stepping over him, only to be defeated in the final Dao struggle and have his Dao dispersing!
Su Yuan looked at the Jade Emperor who stood straight with hands behind him, his eyes contemplative.
With the defeat of the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Dao transmutes, and the Star Heaven rotates, various insights have already arisen within Su Yuan.
Misfortune is also opportunity; this saying holds true.
Within such once-in-countless-years, universe-encompassing Heavenly Tribulations, lies a slight chance to break into the Upper Realm... the legendary ’Emperor Level’.
To achieve Emperor Level, one must first emerge from their respective Star Heavens as the Star Heaven Master representing One Star Heaven.
Thus, only when One Star Heaven’s Will converges on a single individual can they break past limits and further compete with other Star Heaven Masters.
Like now, Duo E and Qingping, who each dominate One Star Heaven, are already Star Heaven Masters.
Once one becomes a Star Heaven Master, they can no longer casually act against lives in other Star Heavens that have not yet become Star Heaven Masters.
Previously, the candidate for this position in the Southern Star Sky was basically the commander of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor himself.
However, with Su Yuan’s victory over the Jade Emperor in this last battle, the Star Heaven Will shifts, and the Star Heaven Master naturally becomes Su Yuan!
Su Yuan could sense that the ’momentum’ of hundreds of worlds within the Star Heaven was gradually converging towards him, and the mana, which had stagnated after reaching Emperor Level, was rising again.
Upon hearing the Jade Emperor’s words, Su Yuan merely pondered briefly before smiling: "The joy of competing with others is boundless! No matter how strong the experts of other Star Heavens are, I shall go all out and stake my life."
Ever since Su Yuan traveled to such a mystical world, his greatest wish has been to reach the ultimate realm of a Star Card Master. Knowing that there is an ’Emperor’ beyond Emperor Level, how could he stop here?
Moreover, he could battle with the strongest who emerge from other Star Heavens!
"Good!"
The Jade Emperor’s gaze brightened, and after a slight nod, he raised his left hand, with a blood hole, toward his chest.
"The Yu Huang is to master the Three Thousand Laws, thus, I shall lend you a final helping hand..."
