# Chapter 1606: The Final Battle of Life
"This is the coldest joke I've ever heard. A speck of dust trying to fill the sea, a blade of grass delusion to split the heavens—how pathetic." The Lord of Divine Ruins shook his head.
He stepped forward, striking at Ye Fan. Though covered in blood and suffering increasingly fierce attacks from the Imperial Weapon, he was determined to eliminate Ye Fan.
The Eternal Universe Emperor was about to fall. No one else could influence this battlefield anymore. Now was the time for the curtain to fall, followed by the dark feast—their time to hunt across the universe.
Ye Fan felt no anger, no pain. Only a single battle intent remained in his heart—the final bloom. The Beginningless Scripture in his hands flipped open, and Imperial Dao laws surged forward.
Moreover, his Immortal Platform glowed, preparing to borrow the last of the Dao-Yan Immortal Robe to detonate the Great Accomplishment Saint Body before his life ended, using his shattered body to bloodily fight the Supreme Being.
"Boom!"
Beside him, flames blazed fiercely—the Great Dao flames of the Eternal Universe Emperor burning, causing that area to boil. The Light and Darkness Supreme Being screamed in agony, struggling helplessly as his Immortal Platform exploded.
"No, I am unwilling! I haven't seen the Immortal Domain yet! I want eternal life!" he roared, as if struck mad.
Unfortunately, the ending was already sealed, unchangeable. In the flames, the Supreme Being's body shattered, becoming calamity dust, while his Immortal Platform was crushed, transforming into light and rain.
Stone Emperor and Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being watched all this without any ripple of emotion. One Reincarnation Lord had already died. By now, no matter who else perished, they would not be moved.
Having killed their way to the Imperial Throne, invincible under heaven and earth, then experiencing several ancient upheavals, their hearts had long grown cold. Not to mention an unrelated Supreme Being—even their own flesh and blood would not make them furrow their brows.
The remaining Beginningless Blood in Ye Fan's vase could now be measured in mere drops. Cracks had even appeared on the vase's body. The Lord of Divine Ruins struck with a palm, shaking him.
At this moment, the Beginningless Scripture's power was far inferior to before. What to do? How to fight? Finally reaching the last moment, all Ye Fan could rely on was the flesh and blood body of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body—said to be able to challenge a Great Emperor. If it truly exploded, it would certainly stain the blue heavens with blood and severely wound the enemy.
At the instant he prepared to fight to the death, heaven and earth suddenly shattered. A giant stele came flying. The Lord of Divine Ruins sneered, not even looking, slapping forward with his palm, causing it to explode!
But at that moment, an aura that made even Supreme Beings shudder spread outward. Tens of millions of strands of immortal light surged up, drowning the area.
"Immortal Ascension Stele!"
They recognized what this was. Those of the same rank had sealed a powerful divine force within it. When the stele body exploded, it could naturally wound them.
The Reincarnation Supreme Being was furious. Just a stone stele, yet it had blasted him covered in blood. Though hard to kill him, it was still somewhat embarrassing.
"Boom!"
Another giant stele flew over, equally massive and towering.
"Let's see how many steles you have!" This time he flicked his finger. From far away, the giant stele exploded before it could approach.
The Six Paths Reincarnation Stele was destroyed!
But a vast fist intent suddenly swept across the heavens, shaking the starry sky. This was the original fist intent of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist—an invincible secret technique.
"Rumble!"
The fist intent was invincible, penetrating heaven and earth. It resonated with Ye Fan, causing the blood and flesh of his entire body to boil. He temporarily abandoned the Beginningless Scripture and charged forward directly, blood vessels engorged, battle intent reaching the heavens.
The Great Accomplishment Saint Body had a special connection with this original fist intent!
Dong!
Ye Fan's fist split the vast starry sky, attacking with violent fury. Punch after punch resonated with the original intent, unleashing the strongest attack power of this physical body, as if the true Great Accomplishment Saint Body had revived.
Every punch drew blood, directly penetrating the Lord of Divine Ruins' physical body, even scattering his Imperial Dao laws!
What was this?
Everyone was shocked. The Six Paths Reincarnation Fist was a technique recorded on the Immortal Ascension Path, yet it resonated so strongly with the Great Accomplishment Saint Body, activating every inch of his flesh and blood.
At this moment, Ye Fan was like a divine lord dominating the world. This was not an experience of combat skill, but a release of primal instinct—solely for killing!
Kill!
Ye Fan roared, his pupils bloodshot. The Beginningless Scripture flipped open, hovering above his head, helping him block the attacks of Imperial Dao law order divine chains.
The Lord of Divine Ruins was somewhat puzzled. At this moment, he was actually sent flying by an "ant." A single punch nearly pierced through his body, causing blood to gush out.
"There is a theory that the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist might have been created by the Saint Body Ancestor. Though unverified, it seems to have some truth now." Stone Emperor said.
Boom!
The fist intent finally exploded. Ye Fan lost that resonance, the blood in his body no longer violent, and the Great Accomplishment Saint Body returned to its old state.
But that brief experience was extremely precious to him. It was not just the resonance of the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist's origin, but also the reaction of two Great Accomplishment Saint Bodies themselves—the revival of their primal combat instinct allowed him to see a realm he had never witnessed before.
"Why now of all times…" Ye Fan murmured to himself, without sorrow or laughter. For him now, it held little meaning, because there was no hope or tomorrow.
Otherwise, if he could survive, his Heavenly Emperor Fist might undergo another transformation, his combat consciousness would become even more astonishing, and his physical combat would gradually become invincible under heaven.
"Insignificant speck of dust, before a Supreme Being like the vast ocean, your laughable and pitiful luck has reached its end!" The Lord of Divine Ruins' face darkened. He transformed into a beam of light charging forward, chains clattering around his body—tens of millions of divine rays bursting forth.
Bang!
Ye Fan struck out, the Beginningless Scripture flipping as he also resisted. But he was still sent flying, his body pierced by a beam of light, blood gushing like a fountain.
This was the power of Imperial Dao laws, the most terrifying. A bloody hole appeared in his forehead!
If not for the Dao-Yan Immortal Robe protecting his Immortal Platform, this strike would have surely killed him!
In a distant star domain, the Old Madman was covered in blood. He had thrown out two steles, but carrying the great cocoon made movement difficult. When he first brought it out, it was manageable, but the further he walked, the more terrifying this cocoon became, threatening to crush everything nearby.
"Throw it out! Damn it, can't throw it! Curse it! Woof!" Black Emperor was nearby, nearly going mad, frantically carving array platforms, but when the immortal cocoon descended, those patterns were directly erased.
This cocoon was terrifying and strange, unpredictable and uncontrollable!
In the cosmic battlefield, everything was nearing its end. Ye Fan was sent flying again, wounded once more. Without the last dozen drops of Beginningless Blood and the protection of the scripture, without the Dao-Yan Immortal Robe glowing, he would have been in grave danger.
"Rumble!"
The Eternal Universe Emperor's body was like a sun, charging over with sky-reaching Dao flames, surpassing all speed, cutting off the path ahead, and clashing several times with the Lord of Divine Ruins.
This time, Stone Emperor and Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being both intercepted, but the Imperial Weapons also went violent, fiercely attacking them.
In the end, this place boiled over. The Eternal Universe Emperor fell, finally reaching his end. He toppled backward, his body splitting into four parts. The furnace forged from Phoenix Blood Red Gold fought desperately, exploding on the spot like a rain of bright red blood, emitting the lament of a phoenix.
Boom!
The shattered Eternal Universe Furnace, carrying the four-part Eternal Universe Emperor's corpse, rushed toward the depths of the universe, leaving this battlefield.
The three Supreme Beings suffered severe wounds in the fierce clash, but they persevered. They… were still alive!
Now, only Ye Fan remained on the battlefield. For them, no one could block their path anymore. They would sweep across the universe, scour every star domain—no one could resist.
Ye Fan charged forward like a moth diving into flame!
"Roar…" From the depths of the universe came a long cry. Old Man Human Demon stood on a desolate star, staring at a huge light source. "Finally obtained it. The rarest food since ancient times, yet I have to send it out again!"
If Black Emperor were here, he would go mad. This was the Imperial Source he had desperately pursued back then, lost when the old Teng Snake blocked the way. Now, Human Demon Dongfang Taiyi had obtained it, truly tracking it down.
"What the Great Emperor left behind upon Dao Dissolution… then continue… to dissolve into Dao!"
Human Demon let out a great cry, guiding the remaining Imperial Source toward the direction of Dao Dissolution, then sending it out, transforming into a terrifying light rushing straight toward the battlefield.
Stone Emperor, Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being, and the Lord of Divine Ruins felt their hair stand on end. Cosmic void annihilated as a light source approached, making them all shudder.
Ordinary people's Dao Dissolution was ineffective against them, but the origin of a same-rank being, now burning into light and charging like this, undoubtedly possessed powerful lethality.
They chose to evade. But within this rain of light, there was a brand fluctuation that had not been extinguished, actively pursuing them. Clearly, this unexpected change was unforeseen.
Boom!
In the end, they used their own body essence blood to extinguish the rain of light, letting the power of Dao Dissolution die out, but at the cost of some of their vitality.
At this point, the last glimmer of light in this dark age was about to be extinguished, nearing its end.
The three Supreme Beings closed in. Ye Fan smiled bitterly. What could he still use to fight? His Immortal Platform glowed, blood surging within his body. He wanted to self-destruct in the midst of fierce battle, splattering the Supreme Beings with blood.
Suddenly, ethereal immortal music sounded, like song and like weeping, shaking the starry sky. At the end of the star domain appeared an old man—a withered body, dim eyes, carrying a sense of sorrow, walking step by step.
Gai Jiuyou!
In his face, Ye Fan saw a kind of determination. The Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Melody played. The sorrow on his face was not for himself, but for the Great Emperor, for all living beings.
"Senior!" he called softly, with a light sigh.
In terms of talent, Gai Jiuyou was undoubtedly one of the most astonishing figures since ancient times, recognized by all. If not for the Green Emperor attaining the Dao before him, with the two being too close in time, he would certainly have become another Great Emperor!
Such an astonishing person, in the shortest time, broke into the Quasi-Emperor realm, then underwent ultimate sublimation, even touching that supreme domain, yet could not achieve the final transformation.
A regret of life!
In the Post-Barren Ancient Era, heaven and earth had changed drastically, everything was so difficult. Especially with the Green Emperor's Great Dao still undissipated, he could still reach that step, nearly breaking the eternal imprisonment, rewriting history, inscribing a miracle, truly attaining the Dao.
This could no longer be described merely as astonishing!
What a pity—a peerless hero born in the wrong era. His life was one to sigh over and regret.
"How interesting. An old, decrepit Quasi-Emperor dares to attack us?"
"Eh, no, he's strong, really strong. He's almost broken into our level, but ultimately something went wrong."
The ancient Supreme Beings evaluated thus.
The Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Melody sounded. Gai Jiuyou walked step by step, his entire body glowing. The sorrow on his face faded, gradually becoming serene.
With each step he took, the Great Dao of heaven and earth resonated. The light on his body grew increasingly brilliant, and in this process, his withered body emitted sounds.
In the end, the sound of blood flowing within him was clearly audible—like a rolling long river surging, like a raging sea splitting the heavens!
Gai Jiuyou underwent astonishing changes. With each step he took, it was as if he walked backward along the river of time for a hundred years. His body grew younger, regaining vitality.
Ye Fan's eyes blurred, filled with mist. He felt like crying. This dark upheaval was too cruel. Gai Jiuyou was burning his last life light.
This old man was forcibly refining his essence, restoring himself to his former peak state, to do battle with an ancient emperor!
The result of doing this was that perhaps an hour, perhaps half an hour, perhaps a quarter-hour, he would directly turn to dust, form and spirit utterly destroyed, never to exist again.
Already aged, for this battle, he refined his blood essence, condensed time, only for that brief moment of strength, restoring himself to the peak state on the verge of breaking into the Great Emperor realm!
"Who dares to fight me?" Gai Jiuyou asked, his voice calm, without anger or sorrow, only a kind of confidence, his face bearing an astonishing radiance.
These words were deafening, making the three Supreme Beings pause. Gai Jiuyou's voice echoed through heaven and earth.
What kind of determination and spirit was this? Asking ancient Supreme Beings if they dared to fight!
"You want to fight us?" Stone Emperor asked coldly.
"Do you dare?" Gai Jiuyou asked, his voice not loud, but shaking the star-filled sky into trembling.
If anyone else said this, they would certainly be considered mad, and the world would mock them. The Supreme Beings would naturally dismiss it with disdain, not even bothering to respond.
But when Gai Jiuyou spoke, heaven and earth trembled, making people feel a great spirit, feeling it was only natural, believing he was qualified to fight a Supreme Being.
Moreover, the three ancient Supreme Beings themselves were momentarily stunned, forgetting to rebuke, vaguely feeling that this person was indeed a peerless powerhouse.
Dimly, they classified him as one of their own!
The Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Melody came softly, resounding through the starry sky. Gai Jiuyou's body grew increasingly young, light covering him as he walked step by step. His dim eyes filled with astonishing radiance.
In the end, blood energy surged to the heavens. The withered figure disappeared, replaced by a body full of vitality—a divine posture, majestic and transcendent.
Was this what Gai Jiuyou looked like in his youth?
He possessed a peerless heroic bearing—bright pupils, thick black hair draped over his shoulders and back, like an Immortal King reincarnated, so transcendent and powerful!
This was a heaven-gifted extraordinary man, elegant as jade, possessing a peerless divine power. Standing there, his unique aura suppressed the heavens. One person could suppress the entire universe, surpassing the gods.
This was the young Gai Jiuyou—supreme in the universe, unmatched in the world!
His pupils were clear, his bearing unparalleled. His voice was calm: "Who dares to fight me?"
Such words were not arrogance. They felt natural, making people believe he had the ability to challenge a Supreme Being.
Ye Fan's heart was bitter, and he couldn't help but sigh. Gai Jiuyou truly longed for this battle—to contend with a Great Emperor, to fight an ancient emperor, to fulfill a wish of his heart.
He should have become an emperor, but he was born in the wrong era. If the Green Emperor were still alive, he believed that back then, he would certainly have challenged him!
Now, he was going to bid farewell to this era in this most glorious battle, proving he was not inferior to anyone, making up for the regrets of a lifetime.
Gai Jiuyou's dream, Gai Jiuyou's sorrow, Gai Jiuyou's wish… A hero who should have bloomed with the most brilliant light in history had missed an era. He would fight his imperial path in this ultimate battle. Even in death, he would step onto the peak in that final instant!
This was a regretful supreme hero, also an old man with dreams never extinguished, who would burn and fall in the most brilliant flames!
"Boom!"
The Lord of Divine Ruins glowed all over, healing his wounds, recovering. "You? A Quasi-Emperor wants to challenge? Fine, I'll grant your wish to die!"
This battle erupted, and the result was shocking. Gai Jiuyou's aura swallowed mountains and rivers, pressing down on the ancient Supreme Being until he was shocked. From the very beginning, blood splashed across the sky.
This was an Imperial Battle!
They fought into the starry sky, crossing many star domains, leaving behind endless battle traces, and also leaving endless legends for future generations, shaking the eternal universe!
From this day onward, Gai Jiuyou never appeared again. In that glorious battle, he sublimated and fell!
And the Lord of Divine Ruins also did not appear. Thus, the curtain fell, and he departed from the world!
