# Chapter 2899: Three Corpses Refining the Dao, Life and Death Divided
In the starry sky in the direction of Moyan Star, the divine dynasty scene was grand and prosperous, like a real great world unfolding there, appearing magnificent and spectacular.
The power of the Great Shang Divine Seal was too terrifying, as if the entire divine dynasty's strength was suppressing Moyan Star from above.
All the gods of the Hell Realm held their breath, their hearts shaken.
Added to that, the Blood Dragon War Halberd had been shattered, with fragments flying out. Every god of the Hell Realm felt oppressed. Could it be that this generation's unruly and arrogant War God was truly going to be defeated today?
No one thought that Xue Jue War God was not strong enough. It was simply that the opponent he encountered was too terrifying—a Son of Heaven, a divine realm titan who had cultivated for nearly six hundred thousand years.
The prestige of Duotian Divine Emperor was too overwhelming!
A god of the Undying Blood Clan, his eyes filled with worry, yet he forced a relaxed tone and said, "Rest assured! Xue Jue War God is no ordinary figure. Even if he cannot defeat Duotian Divine Emperor, escaping should not be difficult."
Lan Jun sneered coldly: "Want to escape? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. The Great Shang Divine Seal is a sub-divine level supreme sacred artifact. Even if Xue Jue War God flees to the starry sky a million miles away, it can kill him with a single strike."
"Boom!"
Wave after wave of light radiance came from the distant starry sky of Moyan Star.
Ordinary Great Saints and False Gods, struck by the light waves, were like small boats on the water, swept away thousands of miles. Only True Gods could stabilize their forms and remain unaffected.
"Too strong. Xinghuantian is at least a billion miles from Moyan Star. At such a vast distance, with my Great Saint realm cultivation, I still feel like my body is about to be torn apart. How astonishing must the destructive power be at the center of the divine power collision?"
"Hmph! This is a clash of top-tier Great Gods. If it happened inside a great world, the entire great world would be destroyed. This is precisely why the Goddess Twelve Pavilions wanted to build a divine city! A divine city can protect a great world. Even the power of a God Venerable cannot destroy a great world."
...
Moyan Star was enormous, containing terrifying energy, making the surrounding space extremely stable.
But even so, the divine power unleashed by Desolate Heaven and Duotian Divine Emperor still tore space apart and threw the heaven and earth rules into chaos.
Divine blood flowed from Duotian Divine Emperor's body, wounded everywhere by the stone axe. He roared angrily: "Desolate Heaven, who gave you the audacity to be so stubborn? If I expose their Reverse God Clan identity, you should know what their fate will be. Even if you don't care about Yu Baiwei, don't you care about your daughter's life?"
"You still don't understand. Today, you are already in a death trap." Desolate Heaven said.
Duotian Divine Emperor's eyes narrowed, then he laughed loudly: "You underestimate me too much. Do you really think that breaking through to Grand Void allows you to challenge me? Three Corpses!"
Duotian Divine Emperor spread his hands, and countless rule divine patterns surged out from within his body.
Behind him, on his left and right sides, two divine shadows identical to him appeared. The shadows continuously solidified until they completely took physical form.
Three Duotian Divine Emperors, each with equally powerful auras, appeared opposite Desolate Heaven.
All cultivators in the world knew that cultivating the "Three Corpses Refining the Dao" could produce three equally powerful divine bodies—a truly heaven-defying technique.
But Desolate Heaven knew that cultivators who practiced this technique not only cultivated slower than others and consumed more resources, but every time they performed the Three Corpses Separation, they had to pay a tremendous price.
The higher the cultivation, the greater the price paid.
If the Three Corpses Separation could truly be performed at will, this technique would have long since topped the "Taiyi Divine Technique Ranking," and Duotian Divine Emperor would not have waited until now to use it.
The three Duotian Divine Emperors attacked simultaneously, surrounding Desolate Heaven from three different directions.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Duotian Divine Emperor gained the upper hand, forcing Desolate Heaven into a purely defensive position.
One of the Duotian Divine Emperors said: "I know you placed your hope on the Drunkard, thinking he could protect that group of Reverse God Clan. Let me tell you the truth—a hundred thousand years ago, the Drunkard was defeated by the Heavenly Father and driven out of Xinghuantian. Otherwise, how would our Shang Clan have had the opportunity to control the Goddess Twelve Pavilions?"
Another Duotian Divine Emperor said: "Let me tell you another secret. Both Yu Baiwei and those Reverse God Clan remnants were deliberately allowed by the Heavenly Father to be sheltered by the Great Elder. In reality, it was to use them to restrain the Drunkard. No matter how high one's cultivation or how strong one's combat power, once one has things they care about, they have weaknesses. You are no different!"
"Desolate Heaven, if you stop now and kneel in submission to me, I can pretend nothing happened."
"Fine! If you can kneel in submission, I'll leave you with a whole corpse." Desolate Heaven said.
"Still talking tough! Today, I'll show you my true strength."
The first Duotian Divine Emperor raised the Great Shang Divine Seal. The seal was like an ancient divine city, with the spiritual shadows of all the divine emperors of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty manifesting.
"Heaven Desolate Chaos Calamity!"
The second Duotian Divine Emperor executed the Eight Techniques of Heaven Desolate, clenching his fists tightly, each fingerprint transforming into a bolt of lightning.
This was a All Heavens-level divine ability!
When executed by a Grand Void realm Great God, the power could be imagined to be terrifying beyond measure.
The third Duotian Divine Emperor grew angel wings on his back, his entire body radiating light divine radiance. The Light Dao Esoterica was released, and the light rules of heaven and earth continuously converged toward him.
Any one of the three Duotian Divine Emperors was like a towering giant, a top-tier combat power below the Infinite Realm.
Zhang Ruochen, standing within Desolate Heaven's divine realm world, was pressed so hard by Duotian Divine Emperor's aura that he could barely breathe.
Above, Desolate Heaven's divine realm world was being burned through by the power of light.
"As expected of a divine emperor of a divine dynasty, his foundation is too deep." Zhang Ruochen still had full confidence in Desolate Heaven. As a rare heroic figure throughout history, he surely had trump cards as well.
Desolate Heaven's voice reached Zhang Ruochen's ears: "Next, focus your mind and comprehend the Way of Life and the Way of Death. This opportunity comes only once."
The next moment, the divine realm world split open beneath Zhang Ruochen's feet, dividing into two.
On one side, vitality flourished; on the other, death energy permeated.
Zhang Ruochen, like a speck of dust, sat cross-legged in the void between the two divine realm worlds. Astonishingly, two Desolate Heavens appeared, each ten thousand zhang tall, standing within the two divine realm worlds.
One Desolate Heaven was like a demon god of destruction, holding a stone axe, his body petrified, standing above a sea of death energy.
The other Desolate Heaven was like a Buddhist monk, his body glowing with white light. Life energy behind him condensed into a towering divine tree, lush with leaves, as if it could support the entire universe.
Although the divine realm worlds were separated, their connection was not broken. Death rules and life rules both surged toward Zhang Ruochen, making him the center of life and death, positioned at the extreme point of both life and death forces.
A powerful tearing force acted on Zhang Ruochen's body, causing the Buddha Emperor Relic to brighten and the Seventh Patriarch's Sanskrit characters to flow around him.
"So this is Desolate Heaven's second type of Sacred Will? The Life and Death Sacred Will." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.
Duotian Divine Emperor said: "Even if you divide life and death, it's still far from enough!"
"Is that so?"
Death Desolate Heaven raised his giant axe, and instantly, all the death rules in the starry sky continuously converged toward it.
One axe strike collided with the flying Great Shang Divine Seal, directly tearing apart the divine dynasty scene. The divine emperor shadow projections on the seal all shattered.
From within the seal came the wailing sounds of billions of living beings.
Too strong!
The Death Battle Axe fell, as if it could split the heavens, as if it could destroy the world.
With the Infinite Realm not appearing, who could stop it?
On the other side, the All Heavens-level divine ability "Heaven Desolate Chaos Calamity" summoned millions of lightning bolts, striking toward Life Desolate Heaven, but they were neutralized by the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree.
Although the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree also suffered severe damage, it ultimately held firm.
"So this is all the power of the Eight Techniques of Heaven Desolate? Shang Tian's ultimate techniques are nothing more than this."
Life Desolate Heaven swung the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree, and divine light filled the sky. Life rules turned into a tidal wave, sweeping away that Duotian Divine Emperor, sending him crashing down toward Moyan Star.
Any Dao, when cultivated to its extreme, could possess unmatched power.
The Duotian Divine Emperor with angel wings on his back had a somewhat twisted expression, saying: "You've hidden yourself well. So you are the Life Dao Main God."
"Realizing it now is too late!"
Life Desolate Heaven swung the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree again, clashing head-on with the light rules unleashed by Duotian Divine Emperor. The two forces canceled each other out, turning into dazzling light waves that scattered in all directions.
Zhang Ruochen knew that this battle was not only about Desolate Heaven killing Duotian Divine Emperor, but also about helping him comprehend life and death, completely reversing his life-and-death situation.
This was multitasking!
It also showed that in Desolate Heaven's heart, he simply looked down on Duotian Divine Emperor. Although he knew that Duotian Divine Emperor might self-destruct his divine source, and he himself might not escape disaster, he simply could not regard him as an opponent worthy of his full effort.
Deep down, Desolate Heaven was as arrogant as Xue Jue War God.
Zhang Ruochen, sitting cross-legged between the two Desolate Heavens, was like a thousand-armed Buddha, continuously sketching life rules. He wanted the power of life within the Taiji circle to completely overwhelm death.
"I must succeed!"
Zhang Ruochen repeated this sentence in his heart.
After executing the Life and Death Sacred Will's life-and-death division, Desolate Heaven reversed the disadvantage, beating all three Duotian Divine Emperors down to Moyan Star, each stained with blood.
One of them was wounded by the stone axe, leaving only half a head.
Another was struck by the Sky-Connecting Divine Tree, losing a large amount of life energy, his divine body aging, his aura weakening.
A Life Main God could not only grant life to all things but also take away the life of all things.
Duotian Divine Emperor had not expected Desolate Heaven to possess so much Life Dao and Death Dao Esoterica. Combined with his Life and Death Divine Dao, which had evolved from the Life and Death Sacred Will, his combat power could make even Great Gods feel despair.
Duotian Divine Emperor said: "I admit, I underestimated you. If I had known you were a Life Main God, I would have killed you four thousand years ago."
"Everyone regrets things, but unfortunately, there is no cure for this illness in the world." Desolate Heaven said.
"Don't be too pleased! Even if your combat power is stronger than mine, killing me is absolutely impossible. As long as I escape back to Paradise Realm, then it will be time for you to pay the price. Your daughter will be the first to die because of your arrogance today."
The three Duotian Divine Emperors flew out simultaneously in three different directions.
Among them, the Duotian Divine Emperor with angel wings, who controlled the Light Esoterica, was the fastest, as if he could match the speed of light.
