# Chapter 1717: Immortal Remnant God

"Let him go. His obsession runs too deep. If his wish remains unfulfilled, he won't rest even in death," the Woodcutter Old Man said. Even though this wasn't the true First Divine General, he still possessed terrifying combat power!

The surroundings fell silent. No one spoke, no one said a word. Both enemies and allies alike felt their emotions churning with complexity.

First Divine General Ning Fei, so peerlessly brilliant, had met such an end. It made people sigh with regret. Such a heavenly prodigy had concluded his life in this manner.

Some also sympathized with the Undying Heavenly Queen. The two had been separated by an entire lifetime. Clearly, there was a story between her and Ning Fei, yet in the end, they could not be together.

Above Ye Fan's head, the Devouring Demon Jar floated and sank. His gaze was like lightning. He was not made of iron and stone. The First Divine General's stubborn persistence, guarding the woman he once loved even in death, weighed heavily on his heart as well. But he had seen that corner of the future—the Undying Heavenly Queen personally killing Ye Tong, Little Pine, and Little Zi. Therefore, he did not want to let the Heavenly Queen survive into the future, even if it meant paying a tremendous price.

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook. From the distant depths of the stars came the aura of a Supreme Being, swallowing sun, moon, and starry rivers, shaking people's hearts!

Ye Fan changed expression for the first time. He sighed softly and stepped aside, no longer blocking Ning Fei, allowing him to take the Undying Heavenly Queen away.

Because he had thought of something even more terrifying. The First Divine General of the ancient Heavenly Court, Ning Fei, had gone to kill a Supreme Being earlier. Had they succeeded? Or had they been completely slain in battle, accomplishing nothing significant?

If a Supreme Being from a Forbidden Zone were to emerge and destroy the world, the horror would be beyond measure!

Silver divine radiance shot into the sky. Ning Fei rode his heavenly horse across the void and disappeared from this place. In the blink of an eye, he plunged into the deepest part of the universe.

Stars flickered and receded. The Undying Heavenly Queen wept. She reached out and caressed that face, still full of heroic spirit, trembling. She feared that if she blinked, she would never see it again.

Yet she also knew. This was truly a final farewell. The silver-robed youth who had guarded her for an entire lifetime would never be seen again. He had once been so brilliant and outstanding, wielding his halberd astride his steed. Neither the nine heavens nor the ten lands could contain him.

Now, everything had become history.

In the deepest part of the starry sky, after the Undying Heavenly Queen was safe, the heavenly horse stopped. Its entire body was burning. The unparalleled First Divine General also began to blur. Silver radiance boiled. He would cease to exist.

The Undying Heavenly Queen rushed forward, crying loudly. In her hand, she clutched that silver hairpin—a small silver war halberd. She wanted to merge with the youth.

But this was clearly futile. The spirited silver-robed youth rapidly aged, then disintegrated. Even the heavenly horse did the same. In the shortest span of time, it experienced an entire lifetime—from descending like a heavenly dragon to losing the luster of its fur, its once strong legs going lame, collapsing into the cosmic dust.

"No!"

The Undying Heavenly Queen's anguished cry rang out, filled with despair.

In the silver flames, an old man at the end of his years nodded toward her, making a final farewell. In that last instant, his divine soul revived. Seeing that she had survived, he was thus released.

"Ah..." The Undying Heavenly Queen stumbled forward, wanting to embrace that figure, but grasped only emptiness.

In a daze, within the final brilliant silver flames, she saw a white horse and a silver-robed youth smiling at her. So otherworldly, his white teeth so radiant.

The Undying Heavenly Queen was struck as if by lightning. This was exactly the scene of their first meeting back then. He had been so peerlessly elegant.

Boom!

The silver light exploded. Nothing remained. That figure was obliterated, but forever imprinted in her heart.

From this region of the universe came a heart-wrenching cry of grief.

On the battlefield, Ye Fan and the others gazed into the depths of the cosmos. They sensed no Supreme Being emerging. Though not completely at ease, they calmed down somewhat.

And at this moment, the battlefield was settled. There would be no more suspense.

"Kill!"

Old God shouted. They were mortal enemies with the lineage of the Immortal Emperor. It could never be resolved. They were born opposed. After waiting for ten thousand ages, everything had to come to a conclusion.

Though the greatest enemy still lived in the Forbidden Zone of Life, unshakable, they could now settle this karmic debt.

Not only Pang Bo, Dongfang Ye, Ye Tong, and the others, but even the Yellow-Toothed Old Man, the Woodcutter Old Man, and the rest joined the battle. On the battlefield, there was no mercy—only life and death.

This was a slaughter. Blood dyed the sky red. The sun and moon lost their light. No one knew how many had died. This place had become a true Shura field.

The descendants of the Eight Divine Generals were killed to the last. No one knew how many of the powerful clans that followed the Emperor's bloodline were slaughtered. Even the starry sky turned blood-red, a ghastly sight.

In the end, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, along with the people of the Dao Palace and the Divine Organization, could no longer kill. Ye Fan and the Woodcutter Old Man had long since stopped. Only then did it end.

All the leaders were executed. The rest submitted and were suppressed. This place became a blood-soaked demonic land. Thousands of years later, it became a terrifying burial ground. Whenever people spoke of it, their faces would change.

This battlefield was preserved and recorded in history. Countless years later, descendants would still come here to pay respects and remember.

In the depths of the starry sky, the Undying Heavenly Queen knelt on the ground, sobbing and murmuring.

"You are no longer here. I have missed another lifetime with you. What meaning is there left? Which Forbidden Zone was it? I will take revenge for you!"

She did not know if Ning Fei had succeeded in killing the Supreme Being, but he had certainly died in battle. Her eyes were filled with madness. She wanted to retaliate, regardless of the cost.

"Old Ghost Nether Lord, you won't get the Emperor's blood you wanted! I want revenge!" The Undying Heavenly Queen laughed wildly, as if she had gone mad.

Blood continuously dripped from between her brows. First, it was as red as a blood diamond, then it took on other colors. Finally, it condensed into five colors, dazzling and brilliant. Before her head, it formed a divine phoenix, spreading its wings to strike the heavens.

This was the blood of the Immortal Emperor, possessing the properties of an Immortal Elixir. The killing intent and laws within had long been purified. She had refined them into her body, extending her life for another lifetime.

But now, she was reversing the process, regenerating the phoenix blood. Before her brows, it condensed into form, erupting with brilliant radiance.

Then, she summoned that Dao platform again, letting it float before her. She poured all the five-colored divine blood onto it.

The ancient Dao platform, like a sponge, absorbed all the blood. Then it began to glow. Five-colored divine light shot into the sky, tearing through the universe.

On the platform, a shadowy figure appeared—terrifying and enormous, shaking this region of the universe, possessing a power vast as the ocean.

"The Emperor refuses to appear. I summon you. The divine battle entity constructed from laws and order. Go fight for the Eight Divine Generals' revenge..." The Undying Heavenly Queen spoke.

No outsider would have imagined that within the Immortal Emperor's enlightenment platform existed such supreme orderly divine chains, so spiritual that they had constructed a blurry figure.

"The Heavenly Queen knows little of me. I no longer have the strength for battle. I was originally condensed from faith power, not the artifact spirit of this platform. But that thought-form body was long suppressed by Wu Shi. Now, only a remnant god of laws remains, and I cannot last long," the blurry figure said.

Even the Undying Heavenly Queen was stunned upon hearing this. Many thoughts flashed through her mind.

The Immortal Emperor had dominated the world, his dharma power boundless, unmatched throughout the ages. He received the worship of all races in the universe. The infinite faith power converged to forge an immortal divine body for him.

That person was formed from thought power, equally terrifying, almost comparable to the Immortal Emperor himself. Because everything the Emperor knew, that thought-form body also knew. The two were originally one person.

"Your divine body was suppressed by Wu Shi. You are his remnant god..." The Undying Heavenly Queen drew a sharp breath.

"The Emperor's supreme will departed, granting me new life. But I have failed the Emperor. I have lost and brought shame upon him," the remnant god said.

He had lost. Though his will was not as strong as the Emperor's, his divine body was not much weaker. Yet it had still been suppressed.

"The Emperor's cultivation was profound, surpassing ancient and modern times. He seized so many fortunes on the path to immortality. His strength ranks among the best throughout history. But Wu Shi was truly heaven-defying, capable of defying immortals. In a true decisive battle, they would likely be evenly matched," the remnant god said.

The Undying Heavenly Queen fell silent. She understood now. The Immortal Emperor had not emerged not because both sides had been mutually wounded, but because he was locked in a stalemate with Wu Shi. He might never break free in this lifetime.

The Heavenly Queen was aging rapidly. In just an instant, her hair turned white. Her beautiful face was covered with wrinkles. She held that small silver war halberd to her chest, smiled bitterly, and said, "Summoning you out is useless."

"Not necessarily. If we must fight, I still have one method."

The aging accelerated. The Undying Heavenly Queen had no time left. After forcing out the phoenix blood, she aged thousands of years in almost an instant. She spoke, "I have little life left. Please take my bones and bury me where the First Divine General fell. Since you still have a method, go and level that Forbidden Zone."

"This goes against the rules!" the shadowy figure said.

"I summoned you out. Just do this one thing for me. Besides, Ning Fei may have already killed the Supreme Being there. You only need to bury my bones!" the Undying Heavenly Queen said desolately. She had no time left. Severe injuries, heartbreak, and her lifespan being stripped away—white hair on a once-beautiful face, her life approaching its end.

"Very well. I will do my best!" the figure on the phoenix platform said. Then he began to chant an ancient incantation. One after another, runes flickered and transformed into dao rules, rushing toward the eight desolates of the universe.

He was summoning a supreme treasure—one of the most terrifying great killing weapons since ancient times!

At the cosmic border wasteland, chaotic energy surged. A heavenly blade, bright as lightning, cut through the chaos. Various primordial essences surged forward, entering a stone egg beneath this heavenly blade.

If the Woodcutter Old Man were here, he would be greatly shocked. Because many tens of thousands of years ago, he had once witnessed this scene!

He had sealed himself until this era, wanting to see the outcome. But in the one to two hundred years since awakening, he had found nothing.

If Ye Fan were here, he would also recognize it. This heavenly blade was identical to the imitation obtained when the Celestial Prince was killed. This was the true Immortal Heavenly Blade!

This blade exuded murderous aura, its energy vast and boundless. At first glance, it appeared as a whole, of an ancient color. Upon closer inspection, it was divided into five colors, actually forged from five types of divine metals mixed together, perfectly fused into one!

There were rumors in the world that when various divine metals were melted together in one furnace and refined into a perfect Imperial Artifact, it had the potential to transform into an Immortal Artifact, its offensive power unmatched in the world.

So many years had passed, yet the stone egg beneath the heavenly blade had still not emerged, showing no change. It was devouring starlight and absorbing chaotic energy.

At this moment, the remnant god's incantation on the phoenix platform was sensed by the Immortal Heavenly Blade, summoning it to come and fight!

"Wipe out the Forbidden Zone... impossible!"
