Chapter 3126: Chapter 1485: Battle in Chaos (Part 2)

Bai Guang, holding the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe, looked at the Heavenly Emperor but did not act.

The Heavenly Killing Sword once again entered her forehead, transforming into a sword mark.

On the other side, the Demon Lord saw Bai Guang breaking free and smiled slightly. Within the endless chains of destiny, his true body turned into intangible black smoke, seeping through the gaps in the chains and re-condensing in front of the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing this move, the eyes of both the Heavenly Emperor and Bai Guang flashed with a trace of seriousness.

This surpassed the control of time and space, approaching the essence of the Ninth Rank.

Demon Lord: "Junior Brother, I’m giving you one last chance. Submit to me, offer your Great Dao, and when I prove the Primordial, you will still be the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor shook his head: "Senior Brother, I also give you one last chance, don’t make another mistake."

"Stubborn fool!" The Demon Lord snorted coldly, boundless killing intent spreading in the chaos.

Amid the surging demonic qi, his form suddenly dissolved into a singularity that continuously collapsed, expanded, and twisted. As space and time caved in and the Great Dao mourned, a gray-white Stone Lotus seemed to bloom in the chaos. In an instant of being touched by the Stone Lotus, the Heavenly Emperor’s two Great Daos seemed to be devoured and chewed apart, endlessly disintegrating.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor realized that the Demon Lord’s return brought a cultivation level higher than before, indeed comprehending the true meaning of the Primordial.

Yet, in the face of such a formidable enemy, he remained undaunted.

With a painful roar, a crack opened at the back of the Heavenly Emperor’s Jade Dragon True Body, extending a colored banner adorned with dragon patterns and stained with dragon blood, dispersing and even counter-suppressing the Demon Lord’s End of Fortune Great Dao.

"The Five Emperors Dragon Banner!"

The adjacent Bai Guang was surprised to see the colored dragon-patterned banner extending from the Heavenly Emperor’s back.

This was the Lifespan Artifact of the Ancestor Dragon, which once had numerous encounters with her Heavenly Killing Sword at the beginning of the universe. Even with the help of the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe, she could only barely hold her ground against the Ancestor Dragon wielding the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, showing the power of this magic artifact.

"This treasure was actually left to you! It seems attacking you was the right choice!"

Bai Guang’s words made the corners of the Heavenly Emperor’s mouth twitch slightly.

Through the Destiny Great Dao, the Heavenly Emperor indeed discovered that if he hadn’t inherited the Five Emperors Dragon Banner from the Ancestor Dragon, Bai Guang wouldn’t have acted now.

Unfortunately, when he obtained the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, his cultivation level was insufficient, and he couldn’t foresee this moment.

Yet, even if he had foreseen it, he would not refuse.

Because being able to cultivate to the Pure Yang Realm, and even attain the position of Heavenly Emperor, this Supreme Treasure was of great merit.

"Even if the Ancestor Dragon returned from chaos today, facing the two of us, the only outcome is the end of life and Tao! Let’s move quickly and settle him, as I still need to refine the Tai Shi Gate and the Tianhe Dao Fruit in the Three Realms."

The Demon Lord, surprised by the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, remained confident in his and Bai Guang’s strength.

After all, their Great Daos were capable of transcending Harmonization.

"Hmph!"

Yet, the Demon Lord’s words seemed to cause Bai Guang’s disapproval. With a cold snort, she suddenly swung the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe, precisely splitting the enormous gray-white Stone Lotus in two.

"What are you doing? Don’t you care about Bai He’s life?"

The Demon Lord roared in anger, baffled by Bai Guang’s betrayal at this moment.

"I don’t like my path being predetermined by destiny, and compared to my grievance with the Ancestor Dragon, my life-or-death feud is with you!" As Bai Guang spoke, the Heavenly Killing Sword appeared at her forehead, her gaze cold as she and the Heavenly Emperor surrounded the Demon Lord front and back.

"Oh, have you already discovered the truth?" The Demon Lord was slightly surprised by Bai Guang’s words.

"What truth?" Bai Guang’s eyes froze.

"With your Pure Yang Realm, how could you die under the Destruction Tribulation of the Mystic Palace, and why did you reincarnate onto the Earth Element Star?" The Demon Lord’s casual statement shook Bai Guang to her core.

Moments ago, she had instinctively felt that she should ally with the Heavenly Emperor rather than assist the Demon Lord. As for her deep-seated hatred towards the Demon Lord, it stemmed from First being tempted into practicing the Demon Path, nearly losing her True Spirit consciousness and becoming one of the Demon Lord’s incarnations.

"What is really going on?" Bai Guang was both furious and shocked, feeling she had been played by the Demon Lord.

"Saint Ancestor, first join me to suppress the Demon Lord, and then you can slowly ask whatever you wish to know." The Heavenly Emperor, though unsure why the White Tiger Saint Ancestor would suddenly turn to assist him, understood this was certainly the slim chance indicated by the Destiny Great Dao and immediately proposed an alliance.

As he spoke, he already activated the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, transforming it into a magnificent world of splendor, seemingly surrounded by countless True Dragons and enveloping this stretch of Outer Heaven Chaos.

"Very well, after I’ve settled this grudge, I’ll come to settle the score with you regarding the Ancestor Dragon."

The Heavenly Emperor found it odd; how had the White Tiger Saint Ancestor survived to Pure Yang without being suppressed with such a nature?

It could only be chalked up to the formidable nature of the Slaughter and Destruction Great Daos.

"Boom——"

Another cataclysmic collision erupted in the chaos.

The End of Fortune Stone Lotus, formed by the Demon Lord, couldn’t heal back to completion after being cleaved by the Destroying Dao Heavenly Axe, instead expanding into two blossoms, advancing one after the other towards the Heavenly Emperor and Bai Guang like two massive maws seeking to devour everything and transform it into Primordial.

As the battle restarted, even the chaos itself was carved anew under the terrifying will of the trio.

However, the three were already somewhat depleted of their Daos, and with the passage of time, their Great Daos began to crumble and dim. The Heavenly Emperor even foresaw his fall through the Destiny Great Dao.

Yet, to his relief, the once almost completely dark future now had far more light in it.

Was it because Bai Guang had switched sides?

Amidst the rumblings of the Great Dao, the Demon Lord’s form scattered into countless pieces, firing like a rain of arrows at the barrier of the great world formed by the Five Emperors Dragon Banner. Yet, despite possessing the power to engulf all, the Power of the End could not fracture the barrier.

"It’s useless; this Five Emperors Dragon Banner is a force left by the Ancestor Dragon himself, embodying five Innate Great Daos, and I’m propelling it with the Origin of Destiny. Unless you truly attain the Primordial, you cannot break it."

As the Heavenly Emperor spoke, the Life Pure Yang Divine Radiance on his body began to grow dimmer.

Bai Guang sensed that even without her intervention, after this battle, the Heavenly Emperor would completely lose the Destiny Innate Great Dao. Coupled with the previously lost Merit Dao following the Heavenly Empress’s self-destruction, both of the Heavenly Emperor’s Innate Great Daos of Pure Yang were no longer perfect.

"You are quite willing to sacrifice."

Bai Guang remarked in mild surprise.

"Without destruction, there is no creation. These two Great Daos have shackled me all my life. If I cannot cast off these shackles in this great tribulation, even if I suppress the Demon Lord, I will never transcend the Pure Yang Realm."

At this time, the Heavenly Emperor no longer hid his intentions. Before the tribulation, he had already learned through the Destiny Great Dao that this was his sole chance to rid himself of the Heavenly Emperor’s Position, and even the Origin of the Ancestor Dragon Dao.

Neither destiny nor merit was his path to transcendence.

"Since you’re willing to give up the Ancestor Dragon’s Dao, I will let you go after we dispatch the Demon Lord." Bai Guang considered herself someone who clearly distinguished between grudges and favors, and as long as the Heavenly Emperor had no ties with the Ancestor Dragon, she had no quarrel with him.

At this point, Bai Guang glanced at the Five Emperors Dragon Banner trapping the three of them, pointing and continuing, "But you’ll need to give me that so that my daughter can use it. Let’s consider it settling our grievance."

Hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor was taken aback: "You actually have a daughter? Who in the Purple Cloud Universe dared to marry you, an old tigress..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Guang’s eyes filled with killing intent, and she swung her axe at the Heavenly Emperor’s neck, shattering a few Jade Dragon Scales under the destructive brilliance.

If she hadn’t just pledged to spare the Heavenly Emperor, Bai Guang’s axe surely would have already beheaded him.

"Do you think trapping me here can stop the impending catastrophe of the Three Realms?"

At this moment, still unable to breach the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, the Demon Lord reformed into a humanoid shape of black smoke, speaking with a cold tone.
