Chapter 945 - 365: I Will Face It, I Will Bear It (Part 3)

Is it truly necessary to gather so many people just to stop the Seven Luminaries True Monarch?

Until,

their souls locked onto Fan Wubing, their wills enveloped him, and only when they really took action against him did they suddenly realize what kind of monster they were facing.

Within the Chaos Storm, the stars twinkled.

Fan Wubing stood at the highest point, overlooking the stars.

Everyone wanted to reach the same height as him. But although he was not far in front of them, this seemingly reachable distance was like a chasm they couldn’t cross in a lifetime.

Fan Wubing looked down on the onlookers like the flickering stars,

"You are the sun and moon, I am the devourer that swallows stars and chews moons.

"You are all things, I am the greedy one that smelts all things.

"You are the light, I am the greedy herald that drowns the light.

"You are eternity, I am the eager listener that destroys eternity."

To the immortals, facing such despair was, perhaps, a form of honor, for they witnessed the zenith of the ’Swallowing Stars and Chewing Moons’, ’Forge of the Heart’, ’Eye of the Eternal’, and ’Ear of the Disobedient towards Heaven’.

Among them, anyone enveloped by such extreme desire could never escape.

Fan Wubing was willing to use the end-representing Sword Intent of snow to bury Yingming True Monarch, for she was once a like-minded friend. As a person with thoughts and emotions, he respected his friend’s choice and wanted to let his former friend die with dignity.

But these people, whether they were the Lord of the Star Realm governing a region, Chaos Walkers roaming the Chaos, Void Fates monitoring the Void Realm, or Immortals touching upon destiny, in his view, did not deserve a decent conclusion.

Because they bore the hope of countless people, shouldered tremendous expectations, and even glimpsed the truth of fate, yet they remained soulless, selfless fools. Their ideals and beliefs were shattered so easily, and they lost even the courage to accept the truth—

In the end, eternity is not stability and harmony, but plunging all things into utter silence, a self-destruction of fate.

Once the final eternity arrives, all the previous values and meanings will vanish into nothingness.

"Seven Luminaries!"

Li Huo True Monarch shouted within the Chaos Storm.

"Do you really want to kill us!"

In the shout was both shock at Fan Wubing’s power and fear of his ruthlessness.

They couldn’t understand why, after all, Fan Wubing, once a member of the ten True Monarchs, in just twenty thousand years had become a being they could no longer comprehend, feel, or touch.

Of course, they didn’t understand,

Because the end they could reach was merely the starting point of Fan Wubing’s rebirth.

Fan Wubing asked,

"Do you have the courage to enter the Infinite Sea?"

Infinite Sea!

They certainly knew what the Infinite Sea was, but precisely because they knew it, they lacked the courage to enter. For it was a place more terrifying than the Void Realm. To fall into the Void Realm meant to become nothingness, but to fall into the Infinite Sea was to face the complete collapse of destiny.

Like the difference between a single lethal stroke and being drawn and quartered.

Li Huo True Monarch roared in anger,

"You are the sinner of the Eternal Sea! You will be reviled for generations!"

Fan Wubing, as if not hearing this, smiled disdainfully,

"If you don’t even have the courage to enter the Infinite Sea, you are unqualified to claim you are working for the future of the Eternal Sea. I have never mocked those who are selfish and clinging to life, because the Immortal Path has always been thus, everyone has the right to choose a better life. But I will certainly despise those who are hypocritical."

No matter what, the Supreme True Monarch could not breakthrough the high wall of desires set by Fan Wubing.

He knew that if this continued, he would surely fall into a vortex of self-doubt. Hence, with the courage he wielded in opening the skies in the Great Wilderness World, he questioned,

"Seven Luminaries! Have you ever thought that the Eternal Sea might be destroyed because of you!"

Fan Wubing answered, devoid of any emotion,

"I will face it, I will bear it."

Those words, lacking even a trace of feeling, completely shattered the Supreme True Monarch’s will.

Because he suddenly understood that Fan Wubing had the capability to bear the failure of pursuing freedom.

But they did not have the ability to bear the failure of pursuing eternity.

Thus, this battle was destined to end in failure right from the start.

Fan Wubing did not cast another glance at them,

amidst cries exerted from all their might, he sounded the death knell.

’Swallowing Stars and Chewing Moons’ devoured the entire Central Chaos Storm Zone, ’Forge of the Heart’ smelted all souls and wills,

Here, no one survived.

Fan Wubing left no trace of mercy, nor did he hesitate for a moment,

stepping toward the serene Everlasting Mountain of time.
