Chapter 2439 - 2406: The Great Sun of Past, Present, and Future

In the Time River that had already begun to show some traits of a chaotic, disordered epoch, both Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors spat blood and were blasted backward, grievously wounded in an instant.

On the Immortal Body of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, many places turned to charcoal, many places wrinkled; his once full head of dark hair was now half black, half ashen—this was the terrifying consequence of being corroded simultaneously by time and by the Power of the Sun.

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun, on the other hand, had his body pierced through by the Sword-light of the Dharma-Ending City Age; his chest manifested a dreadful Absolute Spirit withering, and some signs of the Heavenly People Five Declines began to appear upon his undying Sun Immortal Body.

Between the two, that dreadful killing intent intertwined, as if to freeze eternal time.

"Supreme Great Sun,"

"do you think you can kill me?"

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun revealed a bit of ferocity, a bit of disdain, and said coldly, "I am informing you that I may perhaps be defeated by the emperor of this age, but I will not die, and it is forever impossible for me to die outside the Golden Era."

"Forever, Fellow Daoist."

The Forbidden Area Ancient Emperor from the past time laughed as he spoke.

"Oh?"

"Is this not the truth? This is the truth."

Jiang Ding said calmly.

"You will die here, Senior Sun."

"This is the truth."

"Look..."

The Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor lightly pointed toward a corner of the future Time River.

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun followed his gaze; there lay a corner of the future, a scene in that future—within the image, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun was run through the heart by a single sword, the power of the Elimination Method origin erupting at his chest, devouring his Great Dao and his origin, annihilating the Sun Immortal Body in an instant.

Clang!

The tide-like, river-like sword-wail arrived right on cue.

In that future era of death, that dying heaven and earth merged into one; all the heavens’ stars, the Great Sun and the Taiyin Star merged into one; the time of an entire era merged into one, becoming a terrifying Sword light of the Destruction Dao that severed soul and spirit, annihilating all things. From the future in which the Ancient Emperor of the Sun was destined to die, it emerged and stepped onto the battlefield of the present!

This was the Time Sword!

This was the sword the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor had created within the Time River!

Within the Time River, whoever could, with his own Great Dao, mobilize more Power of Time would gain a far greater advantage. In truth, both Forbidden Area Ancient Emperors were creating Dao on the spot, opening up their own Time Immortal Techniques, and in an extremely short span, iterating rapidly, tailoring them specifically to target their opponent.

"Come!"

"Senior Sun, behold your future death!"

Jiang Ding roared madly.

Clang!

Clang, clang, clang!

The shrill sword cries surged like tide and water; that single Sword-light, which had slashed back from the time of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun’s future death, was at first one, and then became trillions upon trillions, transforming into a terrifying Great Array that could destroy heavens and annihilate earth. Infinite light, infinite Sword light, infinite doomsday scenes from within the Destruction Dao merged into a single universe!

This End of Dharma Universe shrouded the entire Ancient Emperor of the Sun within!

"Heh heh!"

"A future of predestined death?"

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun stood with hands clasped behind his back; facing this deathly future summoned by the Destruction Dao, he only gave a cold laugh.

He looked around; this was a universe of Chaos, in a disordered epoch, with no concept of time, only beams of radiance from the Dharma-Ending City Age shining over, falling upon the star-like celestial body that was the Sun Immortal Body of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun. Every beam of Dharma-Ending City Age radiance dimmed that Sun Immortal Body by several degrees.

Beam after beam of light, uncountable rays of the Dharma-Ending City Age poured down!

In just an instant, this star-like celestial body named Ancient Emperor of the Sun had dimmed to the extreme, its magma exposed; the magma’s temperature fell, congealing into blocks, and this blazing star unexpectedly revealed a trace of chill.

This was a star walking toward death!

Boundless killing intent of the Great Sun filled heaven and earth; even the Ancient Emperor of the Sun felt a chill that froze the heart, and also a drowsy lethargy, a desire to sink and never wake.

Yet in the eyes of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, there remained only calm.

"Supreme Great Sun,"

"you have but barely passed thirty million years; you are still too young."

"Young..."

The Ancient Emperor of the Sun sighed lightly.

Rumble!

The golden vertical pupils of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun looked toward the Dharma-Ending City Age, toward that moment of his predestined death, and further, toward that Great Sun within the Dharma-Ending City Age...

Rumble!

Rumble, rumble...

That Great Sun of the Dharma-Ending City Age was actually stirred!

The End of Dharma Sun had originally been falling, one of the anomalous visions of the End of Dharma Immortal Path; yet now, it seemed to have been endowed with its own unique Dao Essence, utterly different from the Dao Essence of the Dharma-Ending City Age—so blazing, so warm, and yet brimming with Destruction, the source from which all life’s growth sprang.

This Great Sun of the Dharma-Ending City Age not only stopped falling, it instead began to rise!

It was rising!

It shed its radiance between heaven and earth, brimming with vitality, its light growing ever more dazzling, and further, it formed three terrifying Great Suns of past, present, and future. With an endless, annihilating force, they charged to slay the Sword-light of the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor; those stellar celestial bodies shuttled between heaven and earth, destroying all along their path.

The Destruction Dao and the Sun Dao intertwined!

This scene was even engraved by the Heavenly Dao.

In the obscure Mingxu void, three Great Suns traversed the Starry Sky; when the three Great Suns happened to align upon the same straight line, a Sword-light from the future, from the Dharma-Ending City Age, stabbed straight into them.

Heaven and earth fell abruptly silent.

One Great Sun froze, its light gathering in, and cracks spread across the stellar celestial body.

The future Great Sun!

Rumble!

That Great Sun exploded with a roar, shattering apart; this represented the extinction of the future Great Sun in the trinity, representing the first instant extinguishing of the future of the Ancient Emperor of the Sun!

The Sword-light of the Dharma-Ending City Age did not pause in the slightest, piercing straight through the present Great Sun.

Rumble!

This present Great Sun likewise broke and dispersed, being cleaved into the void by the Destruction Dao; two of the trinity vanished and went dark, leaving only the final past Great Sun.

So long as this past Great Sun went out, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun would doubtless die!

Clang!

The Taiqing Flying Sword that had flown from the Dharma-Ending City Age stabbed straight into the past stellar celestial body, burying itself deep within and vanishing from sight.

In that instant, even time became Chaos, impossible to discern.

Jiang Ding closed his eyes slightly.

A long time.

A very, very long time.

The distant past Great Sun still existed, without any change.

"Supreme Great Sun!"

"Do you submit or not? Submit or not!"

From within the past Great Sun came low, rumbling laughter: "This emperor is destined not to die! Destined not to die! What can you do to me? What can you do?"

"Ah?!!"

"What can you do?"

Rumble!

The past Great Sun exploded and shattered, blasting back a dim Annihilation Flying Sword.

On the spot, the past Great Sun drew upon the Power of Time of all ages and rapidly revived; the past Great Sun evolved into the present Great Sun, and then further evolved into the future Great Sun!

Amid the three Great Suns, the Human Race Saint Emperor, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, looked down proudly upon the Endless Starry Sky!

This was the Human Race Saint Emperor who had saved the Human Race from the darkness, who had once more raised up the Endless Starry Sky Dominator Human Clan, establishing an unshakable foundation for ten thousand generations—His Majesty, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun!
