Chapter 1603: The Sealed Book
*Clang!*
The Abandoned Heaven Supreme also suffered a blow. A chaotic streamer flew over, striking his weapon, causing his body to stagger. He shattered a stretch of starry sky with heavy steps, retreating a great distance.
The three Supremes—Reincarnation, Light and Darkness, and Abandoned Heaven—had all been heavily struck. The Stone Emperor and the Lord of the Divine Ruins both shuddered. That kind of technique was truly formidable.
"Wu Shi!" the Reincarnation Lord roared, his face full of fury. That slap had been too vicious and merciless, landing squarely on his body. The physical pain and suffering were far outweighed by the spiritual humiliation. It was a contemptuous insult.
Like a resounding slap across his face, solid and real, it made his hair stand on end with rage. He was filled with unbearable resentment!
With a light cry, he transformed into a streak of light and charged forward, unleashing a divine power that shook the ages, intent on destroying Ye Fan and that artifact.
The Light and Darkness Supreme was also enraged. Having been stepped on by someone's foot, what face did he have left? In his right hand appeared a divine staff, very short, no more than a foot long, forged from Dao Tribulation Gold. It was dazzling and brilliant, so radiant that it dimmed the starry rivers. In his left hand appeared an ancient shield, pitch black all over, forged from Black Gold. It was terrifying, like a black hole.
"Kill!"
The light staff and the dark shield collided. Light and darkness sang in unison, like an ancient immortal scripture chanted by gods and demons together, deafening and surging through the universe.
One after another, order divine chains rose up, all gleaming like stars, rushing toward Ye Fan's location. These were the imperial laws formed by the Light and Darkness Immortal Scripture, displaying a power capable of erasing the mortal world.
With two Supremes attacking together, Ye Fan naturally felt waves of killing intent assaulting his body. Even as powerful as the Sacred Body, he felt all the hairs on his body stand on end—a primal instinct.
However, he was not afraid. The artifact in his hand clanged, sending out divine principles one after another, then a pair of fists rushed out, collapsing the starry sky. Imperial Dao laws surged, blocking the two Supremes.
*Boom!*
It was like the wind and thunder of chaos. The sound was immense, the gale fierce, as if a world was being created. In the distance, many stars were directly turned into powder, and large swaths of star domains dimmed.
The Imperial Fist struck out, the gale it stirred up so tyrannical and fierce, truly worthy of the reputation of Emperor Wu Shi. It clashed head-on with the two Supremes, shaking them back.
"The Sealed Book, like Wu Shi himself emerging!" the Stone Emperor said, his expression dark and gloomy as he coldly watched the scene ahead.
It was not the true Emperor Wu Shi descending. It was merely an immortal scripture, held in Ye Fan's hands, launching attacks automatically. The flying laws manifested concretely, as if a real person had appeared.
It was a stone book. When it first came out, it was enormous, but now it was no more than a foot long. It was ancient, rough, and unadorned, but it was wreathed in chaotic qi and had already been opened.
This was the *Wu Shi Scripture*!
Ye Fan had seen it before and had even been fortunate enough to learn a supreme divine art from it. He had never expected it to appear, flying into his hands. Its exterior was ancient and unadorned, but its interior was an endless world, radiating immortal radiance.
This was truly shocking. What Emperor Wu Shi had left behind was this. It not only recorded all his teachings but also sealed his Imperial Dao combat power, manifesting it in reality.
"On the Three Realms Stele, my name is engraved. On the Path of Reincarnation, life and death are written. I grant you death!"
The Reincarnation Lord's face was terrifyingly dark. He actually began to chant a curse. Supremes generally did not do this in battle because it was too cumbersome, but he recited it solemnly, only to obtain even greater power.
This was a strange kind of Dao principle divine power, the embodiment of his will and Dao. It rushed out from his crown chakra, transforming into strands of terrifying demonic light that shattered the starry sky.
With a soft *hum*, the demonic light transformed again into clearly visible ancient characters. This curse-like light flew up, rushing straight toward Ye Fan, slaying gods and Buddhas alike!
At that moment, a quasi-emperor of an unknown race in the distance let out a great cry. He had rushed from the depths of the star domain to join the battle, but before he could even get close, still far away, his body and spirit exploded, dying a violent death.
A pity, a true pity!
He could be considered a heroic talent, but he died in vain.
This showed how terrifying the Reincarnation Lord's law attack was. Separated by the starry sky, at an immeasurable distance, it still reaped such a powerful life.
Ye Fan naturally faced a great crisis. All the golden and green hairs on his body stood on end—this was an ominous sign of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body.
However, he did not meet with disaster. Dozens of drops of blood flew out of the vase in his left hand automatically, falling onto the *Wu Shi Scripture*. The chaotic mist rose, and with a *clang*, the *Wu Shi Scripture* turned to a new page!
Then, a kind of Imperial Dao law flew out, transforming into a mighty divine statue. It seemed to have crossed the vastness of eternity, the primordial chaos of the universe, coming from the very source of creation.
It took one step forward and directly let out a Dao Roar, shaking the countless stars in the sky, causing them to fall. The Great Dao wailed, sinking and floating beneath its feet. All principles trembled.
This divine statue itself was composed of runes. It clashed head-on with the ancient characters unleashed by the Reincarnation Lord. First came the collision, the light from which impacted dozens of star domains, spreading throughout the universe.
Then came the merciless erasure. It shattered the Reincarnation Lord's curse words, one talisman after another exploding in the void.
Finally, the divine statue charged forward, letting out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar: "Time Passes!"
It almost pressed itself onto the Reincarnation Lord. The River of Time could be clearly seen surging. Under the erasure of the ages, the Reincarnation Lord swayed precariously, nearly exploding.
This was the power of the River of Time!
His body was almost petrified, like a rock standing for eons. Finally, unable to hold on, it was about to collapse, heading toward the end of life.
"Open for me!"
The Reincarnation Lord let out a great cry. A stream of essence blood rushed out from his crown chakra, washing over his body. It scattered all the laws and the final phantom of the divine statue, allowing him to struggle out with difficulty, staggering.
This time, he had suffered another great loss!
This was astonishing. It was not Wu Shi himself returning. Just a single scripture could do this—unfathomable!
Without a doubt, every single scripture inscribed in this ancient classic could be manifested through Imperial Blood. This was the contingency plan left behind by Emperor Wu Shi.
Although he could no longer attend to other matters, this immortal scripture was truly powerful, containing the strength of his living self.
At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly understood. No wonder this stone scripture had been impossible to open in the past. It sealed the offensive methods of Emperor Wu Shi and could not be casually perused, or one might be directly shaken into powder.
Although this result was shocking, the ancient Supremes naturally would not be deterred by it. They attacked together, but this place was not just Ye Fan. There were also many Imperial Artifacts, as well as Emperor Void and Eternal Universe.
The Abandoned Heaven Supreme vomited a mouthful of blood. He was restrained by Emperor Void and nearly split in half. The Stone Emperor's Tianhuang Great Halberd fell, shattering that space and allowing him to break free.
At this point, the place was plunged into a chaotic melee. No one could underestimate Emperor Void and Eternal Universe. Even though their Imperial Dao was flawed, not being the emperors of the past, they still brought the same pressure.
And the attack power of the scripture in Ye Fan's hands was truly immense, making people wary. It preserved the laws of Emperor Wu Shi from his lifetime, as if he himself were executing them.
Even the ancient Supremes were unwilling to recklessly fight to the death. Those were the terrifying divine principles of a peak Great Emperor. The Reincarnation Lord and the Light and Darkness Supreme had already suffered greatly.
They did not know how Wu Shi had accomplished this. Every page of the scripture was a form of attack, truly baffling and incomprehensible.
It was definitely not as simple as being driven by Imperial Blood. That stone scripture must have been imprinted with Wu Shi's indestructible mark and contained a Dao fruit that transcended the mortal world. Otherwise, how could it be like this?
*Rustle, rustle!*
The stone scripture kept turning. Laws were unleashed one after another. Ye Fan fixed his target on one person, specifically attacking the Reincarnation Lord, wanting to concentrate all his power to kill him.
Because he knew that time was truly running out. The blood in the vase in his left hand was being consumed rapidly. The Dao fragments contained in the Imperial Blood were the fundamental driving force of the *Wu Shi Scripture*.
"Kill!" Ye Fan shouted. Seeing the blood growing less and less, he became anxious, preparing to strike at any cost. The Green Copper Cauldron was ready to be thrown out at any moment.
*Pfft*
The Reincarnation Lord coughed up a mouthful of blood, driven to a furious shame. An ant dared to fight him, endlessly, and could not be instantly killed. Today was a series of humiliations for him.
But he truly could not break through. He had no way to breach the *Wu Shi Scripture*. This was power that had not been "self-severed." Although it had diminished somewhat over the ages, it still sent him flying sideways several times, nearly dying on the spot.
Especially at the end, when the stone scripture turned to the forbidden chapter. Wu Shi's original secret technique was unleashed, returning everything about the Reincarnation Lord to its origin point. Even his cultivation was nearly partially shaved off.
"What?!" This moved everyone.
"You have angered me!" the Reincarnation Lord roared. His words were not directed at Ye Fan, but at Emperor Void from before and the *Wu Shi Scripture* now. His voice shook the mountains and rivers.
"Angry? Then die!" Ye Fan shouted. The immortal principles shaken out by the *Wu Shi Scripture* in his hand became even more terrifying. One move, "Wu Shi," was repeatedly executed, causing the charging Reincarnation Lord's body to tremble violently, blood splattering everywhere.
It even nearly directly cracked his Immortal Platform. This was shocking. Just a single scripture, a sealed technique, could be this formidable.
*Boom!*
Emperor Void attacked, directly using heavy-handed methods, also at no cost, wanting to slay the Reincarnation Lord. He endured a halberd strike from the Stone Emperor, his back covered in blood.
"Ah..."
The Reincarnation Lord screamed, suffering a severe injury. The Void Immortal Mirror pressed down, directly irradiating his body until it cracked, nearly exploding.
At the same time, Emperor Void's palm sliced down, almost taking off his head. Only a thin layer of bloodied skin connected his neck, preventing it from falling off.
*Boom!*
The Lord of the Divine Ruins attacked. The Light and Darkness Supreme followed. Eternal Universe came to the rescue. The Stone Emperor blocked. The Abandoned Heaven Supreme joined the fray.
This place was beaten to a pulp, completely boiling over, a scene of utter chaos. The Reincarnation Lord was at the very center of the attack wave, suffering unbearable trauma. His head finally fell off.
Emperor Void's face was expressionless as he struck forward with his palm.
Ye Fan did not stop either. He pressed forward, the *Wu Shi Scripture* in his hand emitting countless rays of light, raining down and sweeping across the Reincarnation Lord's body.
"No!"
The Reincarnation Lord roared. His head and torso were separated. The secret technique of Emperor Wu Shi and the hand of Emperor Void pressed down together, terrifying him to the point of losing his soul. He was a Supreme, having lived for eons, undefeated under heaven, but at this moment, he tasted the scent of death.
Never before had he trembled like this. He had fought his way all the way to the Imperial Dao Supreme position without ever experiencing such despair. He had always sung triumphant songs, fighting his way to the throne of the gods.
But today, he felt a great calamity was upon him. He was about to fall, unable to withstand this secret technique.
"Forcing me to this!"
He let out a furious roar. His severed head began to glow, erupting with a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering pressure that shook the entire universe!
"A true Great Emperor has emerged!"
"Ultimate Sublimation! He is returning to the Imperial Throne!"
The myriad beings of the universe despaired. The several ancient Supremes had inscrutable expressions and all retreated. As for Ye Fan and Emperor Void, they were the first to bear the brunt, about to face a fully awakened true Great Emperor.
That head glowed, radiating ten thousand auspicious colors. It pulled the torso over. The Reincarnation Lord, regardless of the consequences, was going to restore himself to his absolute peak to kill his enemies, even if he would die afterwards.
"You will not return!" Emperor Void spoke. An endless number of order divine chains flew out from within his body—his Dao conduct, essence, qi, and spirit! They rained down endless radiance, transforming into a mysterious magical formation that pressed down, isolating heaven and earth, nearly forcibly interrupting the Reincarnation Lord.
*Boom!*
At that moment, Ye Fan acted. His eyes were wide with fury. He knew the consequences of Emperor Void's actions. Afterwards, he would be crippled and die. He sprinkled the blood of Wu Shi onto the Green Copper Cauldron and then directly smashed it out.
Emperor Void understood as well. He also channeled a force into the Green Copper Cauldron, startling the several Supremes, who quickly retreated, abandoning the Reincarnation Lord.
*Boom!*
The Green Copper Cauldron crashed into the Reincarnation Lord's brilliant head and directly exploded!
