# Chapter 1608: Flawless Great Emperor
"Big brother..." A childish trembling voice sounded. In a stretch of starry sky, Little Nannan's heart trembled, and tears fell uncontrollably.
She looked toward the heavens, her face filled with terror and unease, then let out a scream, fell, got up, and cried out: "No, big brother must not die!"
At this moment, Black Emperor was silent. It had already foreseen this outcome. In this era, there was no true Great Emperor reborn. Everything was already fated, beyond redemption.
This generation had buried too many—Ji Zi, Jiang Taixu, Gai Jiuyou... one after another. Such outstanding talents, it was a pity. Could there be a divine miracle?
Old Madman's back was very straight. In the end, he had not been able to deliver the Immortal Cocoon. Covered in blood, having perceived the outcome, even someone as resolute as him trembled for a moment before straightening again.
Too much grief. So many had died.
"This is a cycle, hahaha..." Black Emperor, who had been silent, suddenly burst into laughter, as if having lost his mind. Tears rolled down like pearls. "At the end of the cycle, everything will come to a close. The Underworld will be the final resting place of all souls. How I wish those words would come true!"
In the distance, an Immortal Cocoon crushed the starry sky. Many great cracks were there, drawing in cosmic power. No one could approach. Hearing these words, the cocoon seemed to move slightly.
At this moment, deep in the universe, the pressure of a Great Emperor shook the world. Nothing could stop it. It was the fluctuation of one who was supreme under heaven, invincible under the sky.
What was a Supreme Being? Only at this moment was it truly manifested. After a long passage of time since self-inflicting a slash, they had undergone ultimate sublimation, once again ascending to the Imperial Dao position, dominating the rise and fall of the mortal world.
"Wuwu..." Little Nannan cried loudly, pressing her small hands to her chest. Her heart ached. At her brow, a crystalline little stone appeared, shining with light that pierced the universe. Through tear-filled eyes, she looked ahead.
Finally, she saw it—she saw the final, resolute, and determined moment of Ye Fan's self-destruction. Blood burned, the life flower at his brow bloomed. His entire body shattered into pieces.
"No, I don't want this. Nannan doesn't want big brother to die!" Little Nannan cried loudly. This time, her childish voice shook the starry sky, resounding through the universe.
Her heart was torn apart. Then, her entire body turned into a rain of light, rushing upward, as if ascending to immortality. She vanished into the depths of the universe.
"Come back!" Black Emperor shouted. It ran desperately behind, trying to catch up, but it simply did not have that ultimate speed. It surpassed all reason that existed in the world.
Back then, Little Nannan had disappeared from the Big Dipper like this, as if ascending, rushing through the sky and breaking through the heavens, gone for many years.
Old Madman also acted, trying to bring Little Nannan back. He possessed the Stride Art, but he too failed, because that immortal light had torn through eternity, defying reason.
The cold, desolate universe had long been dyed red with blood—the blood of living beings, the blood of Supreme Beings, and even the blood of a Great Emperor. Star domain after star domain was broken and ruined.
Little Nannan sobbed, like an orphan who had lost her family, crying endlessly. Her small face was covered with tears. She had actually appeared on the battlefield.
There was blood there, there was light there, there was the power of Dao Dissolution there, and there were the broken traces of Ye Fan.
"Big brother, don't die, okay? You promised Nannan you wouldn't fall in battle, that you would come back to see me. Wuwu..."
The little girl was so helpless. Crystal-clear teardrops kept falling. Stumbling, she threw herself among the blood and bones, crying loudly, as if the entire world had collapsed, leaving her without support.
The Dao principles of the Supreme Being erased all life force. Even the Presence Secret, which claimed that a single drop of blood could revive the dead and regrow flesh, was useless—all life force had been severed.
"I don't want this, I don't want this. Big brother, wake up. You promised Nannan you wouldn't die in battle, that you would come back alive..." She cried until she trembled, crystal tears falling.
The little girl was heartbroken, throwing herself into the blood and filth, desperately trying to piece together the broken bones and bloody mud. It was heartbreaking and pitiful.
"Clang..."
She opened the shattered Dao-Yan Immortal Robe, desperately searching. Her hands were covered in blood. Crying and screaming with a torn heart, she searched for traces of Ye Fan.
"Gone, big brother is gone..." The little girl was lost and dazed, then lay there, crying loudly.
Her childish face, her sorrowful expression, was so pitiful. She wept bitterly, murmuring, reaching out with her small hands, trying to grab forward, as if trying to hold onto something.
On the other side, Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being's expression was indifferent. True Great Emperor-level fluctuations covered the sky and earth. Alone, he confronted all the Imperial Artifacts, looking down on all living beings, surveying all souls with contempt.
At this moment, he suddenly reached out and touched his cheek. It was wet, crystalline. He spoke with self-mockery: "I actually have tears rolling down. Could it be that after returning to the Imperial Dao position, I have regained some thoughts from a hundred thousand years ago?"
In that instant, many past events appeared before his eyes—the bloody battles on the Imperial Path, a song of triumph, the attention of all, the reverence of the world, and finally, attaining the Dao.
Then, for a considerable period of time, he protected all living beings, worshipped by the world. His glory illuminated the annals of history, imprinted into the hearts of all races.
He had fulfilled all the responsibilities of an Imperial Dao powerhouse, and was respected by all living beings. Later, watching friends leave one by one, watching his beloved woman fall to the passage of time, he was so grief-stricken, longing for immortality.
Finally, he slowly changed. Striking up to the Nine Heavens, probing down to the Nine Nethers, just to live longer, and even more to revive those who had left him one by one.
In the end, he completely changed, stepping onto another path.
His heart gradually grew cold, gradually became ruthless. Turning away from all living beings, using their blood to extend his own life, he stepped onto a path that ran contrary to everything.
"Haha... hahahaha!" Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being laughed loudly, wiping away the tears on his face, turning cold, turning ruthless. "What ridiculous emotions. After a hundred thousand years have passed, after I have recovered my peak and once again ascended to the Imperial Dao position, I actually have this feeling again, just like when I attained the Dao back then. But, protecting all living beings, yet unable to protect a single family member or friend—what use is this great compassion, great righteousness?!"
"In this life, I live only for myself. There are no shackles. I will go against the heavens, step onto the path of immortality!" Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being roared, giving himself a resolution, cutting off the last trace of turmoil and emotion.
"Ultimate sublimation does not necessarily mean certain death. Some have survived. Though the hope is slim, I will definitely endure in this world!" he said coldly, fixing his gaze on the Imperial Artifacts that had not yet shattered.
"What you say is very true, Daoist friend." Stone Emperor nodded in agreement.
"Heh!" Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being only let out a cold snort. He suddenly turned and looked at Little Nannan, muttering to himself: "I originally had little hope or chance of victory, but her appearance has shown me the hope of continuing to endure!"
Stone Emperor's eyes flickered, uncertain. He did not express his stance. Seeing Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being step forward, his body shook, as if he too wanted to make a move!
But in the end, he held back, not acting immediately, because this was a Supreme Being who had undergone ultimate sublimation. Unless he did the same, it would only mean death.
Originally, this place had a rain of light—the power of Dao Dissolution—but it did not harm Little Nannan. Moreover, with the little girl's arrival, it all extinguished.
And the Great Emperor's aura here also did not make her tremble. Seeing Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being approach coldly, she was not afraid. Instead, she cried out in grief: "Give me back my big brother's life!"
"If you want to be with him, it's very simple—sink into darkness together and sleep forever." Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being made his move. It was the means of a Great Emperor, shattering the void. He was actually attacking with full force, killing Little Nannan.
He regarded this as the hope of extending his life, not to be lost. He wanted to seize it, swallow it into his body, and refine it in his Immortal Platform.
"Give back big brother!" At this moment, the little girl had no fear, only a grief-stricken cry, as if spitting blood. Her childish voice actually shook all the heavens and myriad domains.
"Nannan!" Black Emperor's expression changed. It was far away in another star domain but still heard her. Roaring, it rushed toward that battlefield, disregarding its own life.
However, at this moment, something even more terrifying happened. Behind it, the Immortal Cocoon that had crushed the starry sky directly exploded. A slender and peerlessly beautiful figure stepped out. Heaven collapsed and earth split. She crossed the River of Time, rushing toward the battlefield.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the cosmic battlefield erupted with the most brilliant light. This day illuminated the boundless starry sky, shook the ages, and shattered all historical records.
Imperial Battle!
A true battle between Great Emperors!
A flawless Great Emperor, standing at the perfect peak of the Imperial Dao, engaged in a life-and-death battle!
No one had expected such an outcome. All living beings had long lost hope. The entire sky was gloomy, pressing down on people, making it hard to breathe.
At the final moment when the Dark Calamity was about to sweep through, unprecedented, about to carry out a great bloodbath of the universe, a flawless Great Emperor appeared in the mortal world, launching the most terrifying war.
Such light had never been seen before. Even the Supreme Beings themselves had never witnessed it. Yet now it erupted, created by two Great Emperors, shaking the mortal world.
It was the light of Soaring Immortal, the power of Ascension. The fierce battle tore the heavens, making even the heavens above tremble. Nothing could stop them.
The entire world was shocked. All living beings were terrified. Even the surviving old Great Sages were petrified. Such a thing had actually happened—a flawless Great Emperor dueling a Supreme Being who had undergone ultimate sublimation, like a myth!
Legend has it that in the Mythical Era, there might have been Emperors coexisting in the world, but no one had ever confirmed it.
Now, people personally experienced it. Those at this level were engaged in battle, their divine might covering the world.
"Boom!"
On the cosmic battlefield, the white-robed woman let out a soft cry. Sun, moon, and stars were all destroyed together. She unleashed the power of Soaring Immortal, surpassing all laws of the world.
The battlefield shifted!
All living beings in the world were shocked to discover one thing—Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being was retreating! Not because he feared death. As an Imperial Dao Supreme Being, words like cowardice and weakness did not exist in their consciousness. They all had an invincible belief, firmly believing they were the strongest in the world. But at this moment, he was sent flying by the white-robed woman, forced back across star system after star system.
People did not know the true outcome of this battle. They only knew that the battle between Great Emperors was too terrifying, and that Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being was retreating.
"The blood of an Imperial Dao Supreme Being..."
No one knew when, but people discovered that at the cosmic border wasteland, dazzling red clouds rushed into the sky. That was the aura of Abandoned Heaven Supreme Being, his blood splattering, spilling across the universe.
The final result of the Imperial Battle was still unknown, because no one could observe the battle.
However, various signs indicated that today, it seemed that a Great Emperor was about to slaughter an Imperial Dao powerhouse. Both were at the perfect peak of the Imperial Dao, both had ruled the universe in a certain era, their combat power number one.
"Boom!"
A great sound rang out, accompanied by the lament of the myriad Daos of heaven and earth. A flawless Great Emperor-level powerhouse had shattered into pieces, blood splattering across the cosmic border wasteland!
