Chapter 1960: Chapter 1979: A Battle Destined by Fate

Heavenly Burial Palace!

Ye Xuan was alone, gazing at the eternal starry sky, his expression perplexed, occasionally furrowing his brow, clearly troubled by unresolved inner conflicts.

Embarking on the path of a cultivator at the age of fourteen, up to the present eternal realm, he experienced numerous dangers throughout these endless years to achieve what he has today.

At this moment, Ye Xuan could be said to have reached the pinnacle. Looking through the ages, no one can match him, making him worthy of being called a peerless figure throughout time.

But he had never felt so lost. Even upon reaching the eternal realm, he still couldn’t see where the road ahead lay.

The mystery of Liu Baiyi, the existence within the Reincarnation Gate, everything made him feel lost and vaguely uneasy.

Hoo!

Ye Xuan slowly expelled a turbid breath like a ribbon, calming his anxious mind, starting to think calmly about the things that were about to happen.

The end of the Twelve Primordial Meetings was approaching, with less than five billion years left until the great calamity of reincarnation and destruction descends.

The eternal Reincarnation Gate will reappear, and he must personally push open that door to unravel the ultimate secrets of the Eternal Universe.

Buzz!

Void ripples, waves after waves, his forehead flickering and glowing, as the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and the Bronze Ancient Scripture materialized.

Ye Xuan held the halberd in his left hand and the scripture in his right, as the ancient treasures glowed, allowing Ye Xuan to quietly feel them.

Both the Bronze Ancient Scripture and the Heavenly Punishment Halberd were products from within the Reincarnation Gate, brought out by his former self from within.

One halberd, one scripture, Ye Xuan observed intently.

As the scripture pages slowly turned, a total of twelve pages inscribed with small cauldron patterns, each cauldron ancient and unadorned, made the Bronze Ancient Scripture complete.

"Is the eternal realm really the limit?"

Ye Xuan murmured, feeling that even if he stepped into the never-before-entered eternal realm, it might not be the end.

Because in Ye Xuan’s understanding, if he were truly invincible across the heavens, he should be able to perceive everything, yet he couldn’t perceive the Reincarnation Gate or the mysterious existence.

This alone made Ye Xuan suspect whether the mysterious existence’s realm and cultivation were actually above the eternal realm.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt a chill. If that mysterious existence truly surpassed the eternal realm, would he and Yuan still be opponents?

"Ye Xuan, come and fight!"

Suddenly!

A thunderous roar exploded in Ye Xuan’s ear, pulling his thoughts back as his brow slightly arched.

’Yuan’!

There’s no need to say more. This is Yuan challenging Ye Xuan, causing Ye Xuan to shake his head helplessly.

Buzz!

Ye Xuan’s figure flickered and disappeared from the Heavenly Burial Palace. By the time he appeared again, he was already outside, seeing Yuan glaring angrily at him.

"The grievances between us should be resolved today."

Yuan spoke coldly, as the eternal dark light covered the entire Chaotic Universe, and the utmost battle intent roared to life.

Yuan was someone who refused to accept defeat. Defeated by Ye Xuan at the half-step eternal, he naturally wanted to reclaim his dignity in the eternal realm and prove himself stronger than Ye Xuan.

Both were in the eternal realm, and this battle was destined to be decisive, proving who was the strongest in the eternal universe.

Strong men love reputation, especially Yuan. This battle was inevitable, and Ye Xuan was naturally prepared.

Chichichichi!

The two eternal heavens confronted each other, and just the aura they exuded made the entire chaotic universe tremble, and countless figures appeared in an instant, all watching the two with awe.

’Prison’ and ’Tu’ were stunned. They thought Yuan and Ye Xuan had already turned hostility into friendship, never expecting them to fight again.

"Yuan, let it go. The great calamity is approaching, why fight over pride?" ’Prison’ and ’Tu’ advised.

"Why must you battle? The great calamity is near, and we’re relying on both of you; why kill each other now?" Xi Yao also advised, not wanting them to fight.

"Xi Yao, this battle is inevitable. They must see it through to the end." Tai Cang shook his head and said.

"Why do they have to kill each other?" Xi Yao asked, confused.

"It’s not about killing each other. They are both at the peak, with no opponents past or present. This battle is a destined duel; if unresolved, it will be their greatest regret." Taichu said solemnly.

In fact, Taichu didn’t say that with the great calamity approaching, if they die before deciding a winner, they would not rest in peace, even in death.

"Yuan, I’ve said it before, no matter past, present, or future, you won’t be my match." Ye Xuan said calmly.

"Ye Xuan, today you will definitely be defeated." Yuan spoke fiercely.

Boom!

Ye Xuan said no more, pointing to break the void, and both entered the void together, a battle destined to be an unprecedented epic clash.

Time passed, and years flew by.

This battle lasted a full three million years, and everyone waited anxiously for three million years, uncertain about who had won.

No one could witness this fight, as it took place in the void, and only occasionally did the chaotic universe tremble, proving the terror of their clash.

Finally, after three thousand years on one certain day.

The void was broken, and Ye Xuan and Yuan stepped out together, easing everyone’s worries, as they feared anyone of the two might fall, an outcome no one wanted to see.

"I lost."

The two stepped out, faces pale, clothes stained with blood, Yuan giving a carefree smile as he directly announced the result.

At that moment, Yuan had no shame or anger, appearing calm and natural, as he genuinely fought with all his might but still lost to Ye Xuan.

Yuan admitted defeat heart and soul, leaving no regrets.

"A difference of one move doesn’t count as your defeat."

Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly, as this battle didn’t truly mean he defeated Yuan. The gap between them was negligible, and he had merely narrowly won by one move.

In a fight to the death, the outcome would still be uncertain.

"A loss is a loss, even by just one move, it is defeat." Yuan said solemnly.

Their past grievances were resolved, bringing some joy to others, especially with ’Prison’ and ’Tu’ easing their hostility towards Ye Xuan and others.

Though they didn’t say it aloud, Yuan and Ye Xuan understood each other. Anyone with a discerning eye could see they were no longer enemies, having gone through much, silently respecting each other.

Additionally, with the impending great calamity, everyone was united to face it together, dissolving any hostility.

...

Inside the Heavenly Burial Palace.

Ye Xuan and Yuan sat cross-legged opposite each other in silence, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
