# Chapter 1604: Burying the Void
"Ah..." The Lord of Reincarnation screamed, his head exploding.
The skull of a generation's Supreme Being shattered, signifying that his Immortal Platform was crushed, and the former Dao-Attainer would be annihilated in this world, becoming dust of history.
At the same time, the Green Copper Cauldron also split into four or five pieces, exploding, transforming into a great rain of light scattering in all directions—it too had burst apart.
Stained with the blood of Emperor Wu Shi, itself an Immortal Ascension Artifact, though incomplete, its power was still vast and unfathomable. Coupled with Emperor Void and Ye Fan simultaneously controlling and smashing it down, its divine might was even more world-shaking.
Yet after it crashed into the Supreme Being's head, it itself disintegrated. This, on one hand, fully demonstrated how invincible the ancient Emperors and Emperors were—even wounded like this, they were still terrifyingly strong, beyond belief.
One-third of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, gathered with such difficulty, was thus destroyed in this battle, broken apart once more.
But Ye Fan felt not a trace of regret. As long as he could kill a Supreme Being, never mind the Green Copper Cauldron—even if his own body exploded, it wouldn't matter.
Terrifying green immortal rain flew in all directions. Emperor Void stumbled, several fragments piercing through his body, leaving him drenched in blood.
Ye Fan was shocked. Emperor Void had not dodged. Clearly, he had paid a tremendous price to prevent the Lord of Reincarnation from achieving Ultimate Sublimation, and now his true body was crippled, perhaps even facing death.
This filled him with terror—not for himself, but for all living beings. If even Emperor Void had lost the strength to fight, there truly was no hope left.
Dazzling light burst forth. The Lord of Reincarnation's shattered head transformed into a ball of blazing fire, burning fiercely, tearing through the dark universe, making this place appear terrifying beyond measure.
Had a true Supreme Being died? This was inevitably a matter that would shake the ages.
Someone had slain such a figure, destined to be recorded in history. Glory would shine through eternity, remembered forever. Such an event was too great, too shocking.
In the Dark Epoch, slaying a Supreme Being, bathed in the glorious radiance of their blood, was destined to pierce eternity, remembered for all time.
However, Emperor Void's own condition was dire. To prevent the other from returning to the Imperial Dao position, his cultivation and essence-spirit had transformed into order divine chains, flying out in too great a quantity.
Those were the Dao fragments within his blood, the essential substance that allowed him to live and be powerful in this life, the very foundation enabling him to fight this battle. He had consumed too much.
His body staggered, unable to stand steady. All this was done to kill the Lord of Reincarnation—there was no choice.
"Great Emperor!" Ye Fan cried out in grief.
If the Lord of Reincarnation's Ultimate Sublimation were not stopped, this world would inevitably bow at his feet, with no one to restrain him. Though he himself would eventually die, the destruction before that would destroy all hope.
"It's fine!" Void steadied himself, straightening his back once more. Though the weariness was hard to hide, his eyes once again blazed with radiance, battle intent surging as he stared ahead.
The Lord of Reincarnation's head had shattered, and his body was also broken, but at this moment, he trembled, stood upright, and emitted a cold voice: "Want to kill me? Not so easy!"
His primordial spirit was within his torso, not completely destroyed. His earlier attempt at Ultimate Sublimation was merely a bluff, a trick to abandon his head and escape.
"Void, you're finished. To deal with me, to stop me from returning to the Imperial throne, you've destroyed yourself. How much longer can you fight?" The Lord of Reincarnation laughed cruelly.
"You..." Ye Fan's heart turned cold. He had been deceived. He had clearly seen the Ultimate Sublimation—if not stopped, the other would have become a true Emperor. Who would have known it wasn't real?
Were the ancient Supreme Beings all this formidable? So despair-inducing. Even paying such a great price couldn't kill one. How could they continue fighting?
At this moment, Ye Fan's heart was filled with gloom. For the first time, he felt darkness. The entire world was this cold, this tragic—they hadn't even killed a single Supreme Being.
Resentment, anger, darkness—these words couldn't express his feelings. But this was the cruel reality. Any one of the ancient Supreme Beings was world-shaking, nearly impossible to kill.
"What do you take me for? You—an ant, a Void corpse that isn't even a Great Emperor—want to kill me? Go cultivate for another hundred thousand years!"
The Lord of Reincarnation reshaped his head. His primordial spirit fire blazed, burning fiercely. He looked down upon the world, standing in the starry sky, inspiring despair.
"I won't accept this!" Ye Fan roared.
"What is a Supreme Being? Invincible under heaven, unmatched in the world, once ruling the universe. You think you can kill me? Not yet!" The Lord of Reincarnation mocked.
"Then come again!" Ye Fan bellowed, holding the Beginningless Scripture, shaking out a handful of blood from the vase, ready to fight to the death, not hesitating to destroy everything together.
However, at this moment, Emperor Void shook his head and said, "No need."
"You..." The Lord of Reincarnation suddenly screamed. He sensed something wrong. Emperor Void's essence-spirit and cultivation had not dissipated. They had not been destroyed in the earlier explosion but still clung to his bones.
"Ah..."
The Lord of Reincarnation screamed in agony. In the sky, Emperor Void's Immortal Mirror trembled. It had been stained with the blood of more than one Supreme Being—perhaps the most in all of history—connecting to the divine. At this moment, it transformed into a sun pressing down, resonating with the Void cultivation and essence-spirit clinging to the Lord of Reincarnation's bones.
The Lord of Reincarnation screamed, struggling with all his might, but could change nothing. Even the several Supreme Beings in the distance did not come to rescue him, because they knew he was finished!
Forcing an Ultimate Sublimation was now completely impossible. His primordial spirit had ultimately been partially shattered by the Green Copper Cauldron's strike, and now his body was filled with Void's Dao principles.
The Immortal Mirror trembled. With a *puff*, the Lord of Reincarnation's body and mind quaked together, then began to disintegrate, burn, and completely explode. This time, he truly fell.
His primordial spirit turned to powder. The last surge of essence blood within his body rushed up, scattered down, and fell upon the Emperor Mirror, adding another type of Emperor blood to the ancient mirror, completely absorbed into it.
The divine mirror became increasingly ancient, with an indescribable, ineffable charm.
In the distance, the hearts of several Supreme Beings turned cold. Seeing a peer being disintegrated and killed was a shock to them.
They were all Dao-Attainers, once invincible under heaven and earth. Yet today, two had determined victory and defeat, life and death, deeply moving them.
"After the Primordial Era war, another Supreme Being has been slain like this!"
"That ancient mirror grows more mysterious. I feel it will eventually have hope of breaking into the Immortal Domain." Stone Emperor saw things uniquely. While others focused on Void himself, he stared at that ancient mirror.
Emperor Void's body swayed. He seemed to have aged ten thousand years in an instant. Even his eyes dimmed. After battling five Supreme Beings and then killing the Lord of Reincarnation, he had paid too great a price.
Now, most of his cultivation was gone, his essence-spirit empty. He could no longer sustain himself, unable to continue fighting.
"Now, what do you have left to fight with?" Light-Dark Supreme Being said coldly.
Several Supreme Beings pressed forward. At this moment, Eternal Universe Emperor was also fighting while drawing closer, wanting to face the enemy together with Void, knowing he was finished.
"Roar!"
Ye Fan howled in rage. The Beginningless Scripture in his hand swept out light, aimed at those advancing, sending Wu Shi's laws across the heavens, slashing toward the ancient Supreme Beings.
"Use useful laws and strength to kill the enemy. Don't waste a single drop for me. Soon, I will return to the eternal silence of the void," Emperor Void said calmly.
Ye Fan's heart was bitter. He felt powerless to turn the tide. This ending was hard for him to accept. Why was killing a Supreme Being so difficult!
"They were all former Emperors and Emperors. A bitter battle is normal. In Void's life, his hands were stained with Supreme Being blood. Dying in battle was fated, and also the best final destination," Void said.
"For the sake of all living beings, what wrong is there in bathing in their blood? This is glory that shakes the ages, remembered forever!" Ye Fan roared loudly.
"Send Void on his way!" Several Supreme Beings said coldly, pressing forward to kill.
This was the most terrifying great battle. Ye Fan had fought until now, as an "ant" achieving such results—it was worth it. He had delivered a critical blow for the Lord of Reincarnation's death. So at this moment, he truly feared nothing. Even if he died immediately, it didn't matter. He charged with all his might.
In his hands, the Beginningless Scripture glowed, brilliant and dazzling. Various Emperor Dao laws danced, causing even the several Supreme Beings to frequently spray blood ten thousand feet high.
And Eternal Universe Emperor was trapped in a life-and-death crisis, fighting fiercely. Void was already wounded, increasing the pressure on Eternal Universe. At this time, the Imperial Artifacts also went mad, all attacking wildly.
This place descended into the most terrifying warfare and chaos, unbearably tragic!
Emperor blood flew, dyeing the universe red.
"Don't waste even a shred of strength because of me!" Emperor Void reminded once more.
Ye Fan had one more thing he wanted to use, but he held back. With tears in his eyes, he saw Void off. He knew this great Emperor of the ages was about to depart.
"Void, what can you still fight with now?" Light-Dark Supreme Being sneered.
Stone Emperor was even more direct. His great halberd swung down directly, wanting to personally cut off Emperor Void's head, settling the grudge between Immortal Mountain and Void from the Primordial Era.
"My blood is dry. My essence-spirit is weak. But I still have Dao bones. Why fear a fight!" Void roared.
This roar was filled with a human Emperor's unyielding spirit and unwillingness. He needed the power of his peak era, but this was no longer the Primordial Era. He had lost that battle strength.
"Boom!"
At this moment, Emperor Void's flesh split open. One after another, crystalline Dao bones flew out, transforming into undying immortal light, flying toward the four Supreme Beings.
Emperor bones were like weapons, especially engraved with Emperor Void's undying imprint, filled with cries of unyieldingness and unwillingness. All his bones glowed and burned, one after another, like Imperial Artifacts, charging at Stone Emperor, Light-Dark Supreme Being, and the others.
This was a battle that refused to submit to fate. This was an Emperor's final strike with his last strength. Even though he could no longer support himself, he resolutely and decisively offered up his own Dao bones.
Blood had already flowed dry. In the end, even his entire set of Dao bones were offered up, until he died in battle, without a trace of strength left!
This place entered an era of great destruction. Everything was shattered. Various lights danced. Immortal Dao laws trembled. Several Supreme Beings roared, blocking Emperor Void's final strike before death.
The crystalline Dao bones exploded, burning to ashes...
"Ah..." Ye Fan roared, charging and killing with all his might.
Eternal Universe Emperor fought a bloody battle. This place was dyed red with blood. All four Supreme Beings were stained with blood, wounded by the Emperor bones. They fought back desperately, wanting to devour Void's remaining flesh.
The Immortal Mirror wailed. Seeing Emperor Void fall powerlessly, it burst with blinding light, emitting mournful sobs. Almost self-destructively, it launched attacks in this place.
This fierce battle caused heaven and earth to split, ghosts to wail and gods to howl. Stone Emperor was almost crippled, his primordial spirit severely wounded. Light-Dark Supreme Being also lost an arm.
The weapons of Lord of Divine Ruins and Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being were broken. Too tragic.
No one had expected that in the moment Emperor Void fell backward, that mirror and his Dao bones would possess such supreme divine power, severely wounding more than one Supreme Being, as if stained with immortal Dao rules.
At this moment, the Emperor bones were completely shattered, and the mirror was also half-destroyed. Unable to withstand the attacks of four Supreme Beings, while shattering their weapons, it was itself half-ruined.
Mirror shards were crystalline. Half fell on Emperor Void's body. Half maintained the mirror's form, still radiating undying brilliance, emitting a mournful *wu wu* sound.
At this moment, all living beings in the universe trembled violently. Through the power of collective faith, they understood the result, and all were grief-stricken.
"Hateful! Why not return to us a peak Void Emperor, letting him drag his crippled body into this battle that was impossible to win?"
"Emperor Void has died in battle... Heaven Above, you are blind!"
In countless star domains across the universe, cries of grief arose. All living beings wailed. At this moment, the sound spread throughout heaven and earth, sorrow everywhere.
On the battlefield, half of the Void Mirror floated, guarding Emperor Void's corpse, heading toward the depths of the universe. The *wu wu* sound made hearts desolate, unbearably bitter, causing tears to fall.
The several Supreme Beings were wary of that mirror and did not immediately pursue. They watched from afar. Emperor Void's blood-stained corpse was not complete—only half remained.
Because almost all of Void's bones had flown out to kill the enemy. Now lacking support, his original Emperor body was somewhat deformed, covered in wounds, flesh and blood mangled.
Remembering the Primordial Era—the glorious years, fighting alone through an age, a life full of hardships and setbacks. Though he fought until the seven Forbidden Zones of Life in the world fell silent, he himself had shed blood for ten thousand years, until he grew old, until he died in battle.
His entire life was spent in bloody battle. Blood scattered across every Forbidden Zone of Life, leaving his brilliant achievements, yet also burying his entire life.
Until the very end, in his twilight years, he still fought until death, burying himself in the starry sky. In his own funeral song, he still experienced blood and fire, dragging two Supreme Beings to die together.
Such was Emperor Void's life. He did not live a second life. His entire life was spent pacifying Dark Calamities, until he died in battle.
And now, in this age, summoned by all living beings, he had appeared again!
Fight... fight... In the end, he no longer had his former battle strength, but still, as in the past, he used his last ounce of strength. His blood had flowed dry. His Dao bones had exploded.
Just like that... he died in battle.
Thus did the curtain fall.
Half a broken mirror accompanied Emperor Void's crippled corpse, going far, far away, buried in the boundless void...
