# Chapter 1847: Remnant Light
Far above the distant skies, Chi Wuyue, enduring the heavy pressure from Long Si, still turned her head back, sending Yan Tianxiao off with her gaze from afar.
"Regret it?" Mu Xuanyin asked.
Chi Wuyue shook her head. "Since I've made my resolve, no matter the outcome, I will never regret it... But this guilt and indebtedness, I fear there will never be a chance to make amends."
Of the three former Northern Domain Emperors, only she remained now.
More strictly speaking, she was now the successor of the Demon Lord in name... Thus, the three Northern Domain Emperors had all become things of the past.
The dark confinement disappeared, but those Western Domain profound practitioners who had been pushed away from the battlefield remained slumped on the ground for a long time. They watched the gray dust that the Northern Domain Yan Emperor had turned into, their expressions complex, their chests heavy to the point of suffocation.
The White Rainbow Dragon God suddenly waved his hand, violently scattering the flying dust in the space ahead, venting his anger.
"Let's go!"
The White Rainbow Dragon God and the three Western Domain Emperors led the way, flying with dark expressions toward the now-ruined Canglan King's Palace.
Behind them, the Dragon Lords and the other Western Domain profound practitioners had no choice but to suppress the turmoil in their hearts and grit their teeth as they followed.
In the north, the Azure Dragon Emperor, who had been entangled with Cang Shitian, let out a faint sigh, murmuring, "Why must there be conflict in this world... With so much blood and life, even if we finally get what we want, is it truly worth it?"
"Heh!" Cang Shitian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Little Azure Dragon, I've always liked your innocent nature."
Boom!
As Cang Shitian's words fell, an extremely cold ice spike slammed heavily into his face, crushing his entire left cheek inward, and his body tumbled over several times in an extremely disgraceful manner.
"Hmph!" The Azure Dragon Divine Attendant's gaze turned icy cold. "How dare you insult my master! You're seeking death!"
"Heh, hehe." Covering his left face, Cang Shitian was still laughing. "Little Azure Dragon, the entire Divine Realm knows that the Azure Dragon Realm never wishes to get involved in any grudges or conflicts, but there are too many things in this world that don't allow you to remain aloof."
Azure Dragon Emperor: "..."
"In a one-on-one fight, I'm no match for you. Adding this little lady, yet you still haven't captured me." Cang Shitian squinted his eyes and grinned. "You're holding back to this extent. Even if the Dragon Sovereign were an idiot, he'd be able to tell. Do you really think that after all this is over, he'll ignore your unwillingness to act?"
"Oh no, no! This is outright defiance of orders."
The Azure Dragon Emperor remained silent... The Dragon Sovereign in these past few days was completely different from the one everyone had known before. From someone without strife or anger, he had become perverse and terrifying.
Or perhaps, this was his true nature.
And the reason behind all this... The earth-shattering word "cuckold" from Chi Wuyue's mouth was still shocking everyone's heart, but no one dared to ask about or mention it.
In the distance, the second-to-last barrier was also covered in cracks. Cang Shitian gave a bitter laugh and said, "Our side is completely finished, but we've had a few good fights, so even if I die, it's not a loss!"
"As for you, I advise you to use all your strength to cripple or kill me while you still can, or else you'll definitely regret it."
The Azure Dragon Emperor still said nothing, nor did he suddenly deliver a killing blow.
"Heh!" Cang Shitian showed a mocking expression. "As the Azure Dragon Emperor, yet so indecisive and overly merciful. Looks like your Azure Dragon lineage won't last many more generations!"
"Seeking death!" The Azure Dragon Divine Attendant was furious, sending a whirl of water and cold energy surging toward Cang Shitian's entire body.
Crack!
The heavens and earth shook again. The sixth barrier, amid constantly spreading blood mist, finally shattered, leaving only the final barrier flowing with a nearly desperate faint light.
The sixth barrier had become the one that held out the longest... And this longest-existing star of hope shone not with hope, but with the light of hope born from the Yan Emperor's self-immolation.
The eyes of the Northern Domain profound practitioners were bloodshot red. With only the last line of defense remaining, they had completely transformed into beasts of despair. Their defense fully shifted to active slaughter as they crazily released all the remaining power left in their bodies, launching a final counterattack.
At this moment, Long Bai's brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
When only the last dark barrier remained, its isolation of his spiritual senses was greatly weakened. His divine sense penetrated the barrier from a great distance and perceived not Yun Che's aura, but another extremely special and familiar aura.
The Zhou Tian Pearl!?
A moment of shock, then he suddenly understood. The reason Yun Che had been absent for so long was not because he was in seclusion, but because he was inside the Zhou Tian Divine Realm of the Zhou Tian Pearl!
"Suspend the attack on the barrier. Suppress everyone!" Long Bai suddenly ordered, his words like claps of thunder.
He finally moved. As his figure rose, the vast Dragon Sovereign's might instantly stirred the wind and clouds of the entire sky. The sand, dust, and blood mist of the battlefield were also carried by his dragon shadow toward the Canglan King's Palace.
With the Dragon Sovereign's order, the battle situation changed dramatically. When the Western Domain Divine Lords no longer needed to focus on attacking the barrier and could instead fully suppress their opponents, the pressure on the Northern Domain profound practitioners increased dramatically.
The power of Long Yi, Long Er, Long San, and the three Dragon Gods converged in the air, pressing down together on the three Yan Ancestors.
The three Yan Ancestors dared not dodge, because if they retreated, that force would directly blast the barrier. They struck out simultaneously, and the Yan Demon shadows behind them roared into the sky.
Two terrifyingly extreme forces clashed head-on in the sky. As they stalemated, the space compressed to the extreme like a balloon about to burst.
In terms of power, the three Yan Ancestors were at a significant disadvantage. The moment the terrifying stalemate began, the faces of the three Yan Ancestors twisted violently, but their feet nailed firmly to the ground, refusing to retreat. Only their arms, supporting the world-destroying force, trembled with extreme violence.
Long Bai's aura horrified everyone. For the Northern Domain profound practitioners, if his power were to descend, it would surely be the last straw that breaks the camel's back... No, it would be a giant mountain.
Mu Xuanyin's gaze turned sharply cold. Her figure flickered, instantly breaking free of Long Wu's dragon aura blockade with Moon-Breaking Shadow Flick. Behind her appeared a substantial Ice Phoenix Divine Shadow. Amid an extremely clear and resonant phoenix cry, the Snow Princess Sword, carrying a glacial blue radiance as brilliant as the sky's light, pierced through the dragon domains of the two Withered Dragons, cut through hundreds of miles of space, and stabbed straight at Long Bai.
But the distance was ultimately too far.
Long Bai's right arm swept horizontally, spreading a massive Dragon Sovereign force field. Just as the glacial blue meteor approached, he easily twisted its trajectory.
Crack!
The Ice Phoenix divine power exploded behind Long Bai. A polar aurora pierced through heaven and earth, but failed to harm Long Bai in the slightest—only briefly delaying him.
The storm roared, space trembled. When Long Bai arrived, the sheer terrifying air current and pressure alone sent large numbers of Northern Domain profound practitioners and Primordial Dragons tumbling to the ground. The blood-soaked battlefield was forcibly cleared of a considerable vacuum.
Long Bai's figure descended, his hand forming a claw shadow as he struck straight at the final barrier.
Under the chaotic impact of forces, the last barrier was already dim and covered in cracks.
As the Dragon Sovereign's claw struck down, the final barrier trembled violently, cracking with thousands of black fissures in a mournful sound.
The hearts of the Northern Domain profound practitioners fell into the abyss. Yan San gritted his teeth fiercely and roared, "Old ghosts, you hold them off!"
He suddenly withdrew his force and, like a maddened dog, lunged at Long Bai with a screech.
With Yan San's power gone, the pressure on Yan Yi and Yan Er increased sharply. The skin on their withered arms instantly split outward, black blood splattering.
Even though they were already in unbearable misery, they stubbornly refused to collapse, desperately holding up against the power of the three Withered Dragons and three Dragon Gods... No one could imagine what immense pressure their dried, stick-like bodies and arms were enduring.
Every instant was no less than the overturning of the cosmos.
And what had sustained them until now might not have been their own power at all, but their absolute loyalty to Yun Che.
Boom!
Long Bai struck down another palm. Under the vast Dragon Sovereign might, the barrier had completely shattered, leaving only the last few wisps of faint dark remnant light barely holding on.
"Ssssaaaahhh!"
Yan San lunged forward with a snarl, his fingers like dark sharp hooks, stabbing toward Long Bai's eyes with violent black light.
Long Bai didn't turn his head. His right arm shot out abruptly, his palm gleaming with faint white light meeting head-on and grabbing Yan San's dark withered hand.
Crack!!
In the terrifying shattering sound that tore at the soul, the black light on Yan San's hand dissipated completely, and his finger bones all broke.
Long Bai's recovery ability was too terrifying. Having been watching the battlefield all along, by now his power was almost fully restored. The previous seemingly severe injuries had healed about seventy to eighty percent during this not-short period.
But Yan San was wounded all over, and his power was more than half depleted. How could he possibly contend with Long Bai alone?
Yan San let out a strange cry, and Yan Demon force surged again. But before he could release it, the Dragon Sovereign's power had already slammed heavily into his body along his arm.
Yan San's mind buzzed, his consciousness half-collapsed, and his body flew sideways like a withered leaf.
But midair, he bit his tongue hard, flailing his arms wildly as he tumbled backward, blasting the Yan Demon shadow behind him downward. The forcibly erupted Yan Demon force sent a large group of Western Domain Divine Lords flying, while also temporarily freeing a number of Northern Domain Realm Kings from suppression.
"Stop him... stop him!!" Yan San screamed with all his might. His body was blasted hundreds of miles away by the Dragon Sovereign's power... but his throat-tearing roar still came from afar.
Ping!
Long Bai's finger stabbed straight through the barrier. Amid a crisp shattering sound, the final barrier collapsed like a soap bubble.
At the center of the collapsed barrier, the Zhou Tian Pearl floated quietly, emitting a somewhat dim but still pure and flawless white light.
"Zhou Tian... Pearl?"
"The Zhou Tian Pearl!!"
Large cries of shock came from all around. They also suddenly understood why the Dragon Sovereign had ordered them not to forcefully attack the barrier.
How could such a divine object be carelessly destroyed?
In the distance, Zhou Xuzi, who looked like a mutilated corpse, seemed to sense something. He lifted his head from the ground with unbearable slowness, looking at that faint white light in the distance, emitting a barely audible whimper from his mouth.
"Alas."
Long Bai and the Zhou Tian Pearl were now within arm's reach, with no power left to stop him. Chi Wuyue slowly closed her eyes, releasing the most helpless sigh of her life.
But even at this moment, there were still those who refused to give up.
Just as Long Bai took a step forward, approaching the Zhou Tian Pearl, Tian Guhu, who had freed himself from suppression under Yan San's power, suddenly burst out from the pool of blood and slammed heavily into Long Bai. He poured all the remaining power in his body into his limbs, tightly entangling Long Bai.
Tian Muyi, who was kneeling in a pool of blood with his heart sunk into the abyss, stiffened all over and roared in horror: "Guhu!"
Bang!
Long Bai's face stiffened coldly. His arm stretched forward, and the Dragon Sovereign's claw pierced through Tian Guhu's body in an instant, lifting him up, then smashing him heavily to the ground. The sound of breaking bones was as deafening as a mountain collapsing.
"Guhu!!" Tian Muyi screamed in agony, his eyes splitting at the corners.
Long Bai didn't turn his head, taking a step forward... But a gust of sinister wind suddenly struck from behind. A bloodstained arm locked around his neck from behind.
Long Bai's brows furrowed slightly.
Under his power just now, Tian Guhu's bones were at least sixty percent broken, and his internal injuries were enough to kill him. Yet he had almost instantly gotten up to counterattack... Frankly, Long Bai was shocked for a moment.
"Don't... approach... the... Demon... Lord..."
Tian Guhu's arm kept tightening, nearly snapping his own arm bones. Long Bai stopped in his tracks, his arm reaching back casually, pressing against Tian Guhu's right arm, and gently released his dragon aura.
Crack!!
Tian Guhu's entire right arm instantly shattered into dozens of pieces.
"Ahhh~"
An unimaginable pain only elicited a hoarse moan from Tian Guhu, but his left arm had already hooked around, replacing his broken right arm, locking Long Bai's throat again!
A flash of white light appeared in Long Bai's pupils as he violently released his dragon aura.
Boom!!!
In a dull explosion, Tian Guhu finally let out a scream. Both his arms disintegrated in the air, turning into large clouds of scattered bone fragments and blood foam. His armless body flew sideways, splattering blood as it crashed into the thick pool of blood.
"Aaaaahhh!"
Tian Muyi was clearly already at the point of exhaustion and near death, but at this moment, his body erupted with power nearly surpassing the limits of his entire life. Like a beast of despair, he lunged fiercely onto Long Bai, using his own blood-soaked body to stubbornly block Long Bai's steps.
"Master... we're here!"
Roars erupted from behind. The Huangtian Grand Elder... all the surviving Huangtian profound practitioners rushed forward with screams.
Then, Huo Tianxing, the Vipersnake Saint Lord... all the upper-level Realm Kings who had freed themselves from suppression had eyes as red as blood. They either dove down from the air, flew over, or bounced up from the ground—one after another, wave after wave.
Their bodies overlapped, their power overlapped, building a tragic human wall, sealing off Long Bai's path forward.
Under this charge that transcended life and death, transcended will and conviction, Long Bai's body shook violently, and he took a heavy step back.
And that step was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the Dragon Sovereign.
His eyes darkened, a dragon shadow appeared on his body, and a furious dragon force was released along with a soul-shaking dragon roar.
Boom!!!
Amid the cruel explosion, fountains of blood sprayed chaotically.
In his anger, this strike from Long Bai was nearly at full power. How could these nearly depleted Northern Domain Divine Lords possibly withstand it?
The human wall built with the bodies of Divine Lords was blasted apart violently, scattering into a chaotic mess of broken limbs. Half were killed instantly, half were severely wounded.
And at the very front, the Huangtian Realm King Tian Muyi was instantly shattered, unable to leave behind even a single word as his last words.
"Hmph!" Long Bai swung his arm, disgustedly shaking off the filthy blood on him. As he was about to lift his foot, a sudden sharp pain came from his heel.
With both leg bones broken and both arms lost, Tian Guhu could no longer stand, but he used his teeth to bite down fiercely on Long Bai's heel. His already faded and dilated pupils, at this moment, reflected a resolve that made everyone's heart tremble.
Long Bai's heart suddenly grew irritable. He kicked out. In an even more heart-wrenching sound of shattering, Tian Guhu flew out like a tattered blood bag.
"Ahhh... ugh..."
He still didn't lose consciousness, or rather, he stubbornly refused to. His head moved, twitching in a way that made hearts quiver. But this time, he could no longer stand, could no longer move.
His injuries were too severe, his life force completely cut off. Even if an ancient true god descended to the world, they couldn't save him. The signs of life at this moment were entirely dependent on that belief he refused to let go of, barely hanging on to his last breath.
He had fought for Yun Che until his last breath, his last drop of blood... just as he had sworn in his vow back then.
Ahead, there were no more "flies" blocking the way. Long Bai strode forward. As his dragon eyes focused, his outstretched hand slowly reached for the Zhou Tian Pearl.
It's over...
Completely over...
This was the darkest voice that rose in the hearts of all Northern Domain profound practitioners at this moment.
But at this moment, the white light on the Zhou Tian Pearl suddenly faded completely. The space where it was twisted abruptly.
A spatial repulsive force hit head-on, so domineering that even Long Bai couldn't resist it. His face changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand while retreating violently.
Within the twisted space, in the suddenly contracted pupils of everyone... two black figures appeared side by side.
The Zhou Tian Pearl slowly descended from the air, landing on the raised palm of the man, disappearing into his hand.
