Chapter 38 The Ultimate Battle

Mu Changqing looked up, facing the Lord of Darkness across endless time and space.

In the blink of an eye, the two were in the same space and time.

They did not choose to battle in the myriad realms.

If they had, all primordial beings would have awakened instantly, and the Heavenly Dao would have descended to stop them.

They also understood that this was not yet the time to draw the ultimate curtain on their battle.

"Lord of Darkness, a true primordial being, one of the most powerful existences before the opening of heaven and earth."

Mu Changqing murmured, his battle intent surging like purple Nether Flames.

An intensely bright purple light erupted without restraint, spanning across the ages, shrouding all darkness and light in the myriad realms.

In the past, present, and future, all beings bound by karma simultaneously looked up at the boundless firmament from their respective times and spaces.

Innumerable streaks of purple flame pierced through all matter, illuminating all existence.

"You will be the first battle since my return to the myriad realms, and it is you who will make you self-proclaimed, arrogant primordial beings truly understand what taboo is."

Mu Changqing's aura was no longer deep and continuous, but filled with unparalleled dominance, brimming with madness.

At this moment, he was like an awakened emperor who had suppressed endless years, descending with the vast aura of the Burial of the Heavens Great Dao.

Immeasurably profound, the purple light dyed everything knowable.

"What a terrifying existence. Have the primordial beings made their move?"

Finally, an old monster from the myriad realms, someone who knew some truths, spoke.

In the forbidden zones, survivors of the Emperor Fall era awakened, breaking open their divine sources and gazing at the purple light in the sky, their eyes flashing with complex memories.

An unspeakable, endless fear emanated, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Even though they had now reached the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, they could not forget the despair and powerlessness brought by the taboo of the Emperor Fall during that era.

"It is him. He has not fallen. He has returned. The taboo of the Emperor Fall, the despair of the myriad realms."

"Immortal Emperors bleed. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot erase him. Now, who can bury him?"

"The taboo has returned to the myriad realms. From now on, all beings in the myriad realms will live under his fear."

Throughout the myriad realms, countless powerful beings simultaneously felt despair.

That aura, the taboo of the Emperor Fall, the Emperor of Burial's return!

All primordial beings sensed everything.

In the depths of endless chaos, a brilliant white light burst forth.

Within the same primordial embryonic form, veiled by a hazy light curtain.

A stunningly beautiful and seductive figure lay quietly within.

Her beauty was unparalleled, like the most perfect masterpiece under Nuwa's creation, without a single flaw, cold and noble, not to be profaned.

She wore a flowing, gossamer dress as white as moonlight, her slender, fair arms resting elegantly at her waist.

Three thousand strands of black hair cascaded loosely, shimmering with radiance, like brilliant stars, breathtakingly beautiful.

A pair of fair, bare feet were casually concealed by the long skirt.

Her aura was like that of a celestial maiden from the Nine Heavens, untouched by the mortal world.

A thin white veil covered her exquisite and beautiful face, adding a touch of mystery.

Just as the Burial of the Heavens Great Dao swept across the endless chaos, the woman slowly opened her cold, clear eyes, which seemed to hold myriad stars within them.

Finally, the myriad stars dissolved into nothingness, leaving only a bright, pure white moon.

"Buried Emperor, you have finally returned."

...

At the same time, the battle between Mu Changqing and the Lord of Darkness was on the verge of erupting.

Rumble!

A deafening roar echoed through heaven and earth. In the Lord of Darkness's right hand, an extremely dark long sword materialized.

Innumerable sword energies once again evolved into a dark cage of the myriad realms, shattering chaos, capable of turning all things into darkness, from which nothing could escape.

The darkness of all sentient beings!

The Lord of Darkness swung the dark sword, causing the river of time to tremble in fear, as if intending to destroy everything, pushing all knowable existence into the depths of darkness.

The old Daoist priest, seeing this, fled in terror.

He was merely a manifestation and could not withstand even the residual power of this sword.

The cracking chaos was filled with darkness, spreading through endless time and space to attack Mu Changqing.

Mu Changqing retaliated, manifesting the Burial of the Heavens purple sword in his hand.

With a single sword strike, all that is knowable can be buried.

Using space-time as the battlefield, immense collision pressures erupted, spanning all of existence.

The chaotic sea of realms churned, seemingly unable to withstand their battle.

Turbulent spatial currents emerged, throwing all of time and space into chaos and upheaval.

The river of time recoiled in fear, terrified of being severed by their battle.

In an instant!

All matter in this chaos was cleared, returning to its origin.

Darkness and purple light clashed, tearing apart the celestial bodies that evolved from their collision, turning them into nothingness.

The dark substance churned more furiously, birthing sentience and roaring at Mu Changqing.

"You are qualified to provoke a primordial being, but this is far from enough. To contend with me, you are still not enough."

The Lord of Darkness coldly regarded Mu Changqing, once again raising his dark sword, carrying immense power and darkness as he attacked.

"You talk too much. My Dao buries all. As long as you have not broken free from the shackles of karma and destiny, you have no capital for arrogance."

Mu Changqing responded indifferently, his heart growing increasingly passionate and fervent.

His battle intent was terrifying, evolving into strange phenomena, filled with ominousness and evil.

An existence darker than the Lord of Darkness's ultimate dark matter.

"My Dao buries all."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Rumble!

They shattered countless great realms once more, and amidst their collisions, time lost all meaning.

The purple Nether Flames erupted with boundless might again, devouring darkness and burying it.

Seeing this, the Lord of Darkness's pupils contracted sharply, and with a roar, he retreated through endless ages.

Mu Changqing let out a cold laugh, crossed the vast expanse of time, and pursued him again.

Today, he was determined to test whether primordial beings were truly unburyable.

The two clashed again, and amidst their collisions.

Mu Changqing gained the upper hand once more, the Burial of the Heavens purple sword piercing the unspeakable body of the Lord of Darkness.

That terrifying power, which sought to bury all, erupted with boundless might, evolving into an uncanny spectacle.

"Ahhh, damn you, damn you, how dare you injure me!"

The Lord of Darkness roared in shock, raising his head sharply, a wisp of dark blood spilling from his lips.

A purple flame was still burning on his chest, and a gaping hole was clearly visible.

At this moment, the Lord of Darkness's face was terrifyingly grim. His long hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his eyes were fixed on Mu Changqing's calm expression. A faint sense of retreat flickered within him.

Mu Changqing remained composed, his invincible aura growing more terrifying. Behind him, scenes of the Lord of Darkness's demise and the collapse of the Heavenly Dao uncontrollably materialized.

"Damn it, Buried Emperor, what do you want? You cannot kill me, so why let others benefit? We have no major conflict."

The Lord of Darkness, now retreating and yielding, was unwilling to continue fighting.

Mu Changqing's expression remained unmoved.

His purpose was, in essence, to have no purpose.

Since he would inevitably confront the primordial beings sooner or later, why not try to see how to bury one first?

Unluckily for the Lord of Darkness, he had stumbled upon him.

"Don't you understand yet? Lord of Darkness, all of this has nothing to do with conflicts of interest. You can only consider yourself unlucky. Today, you must die."

The other primordial beings had long sensed this battle but had not intervened.

This was precisely to see how terrifying he, the only post-natal being to escape the chessboard, truly was.

It was also to see if primordial beings could indeed be killed.
