Chapter 432: End of the Battle

“Buzz!”

The space gradually regained its calm, the overwhelming force subsided, and the power of the Dao that permeated the scene dissipated.

At this moment, the world returned to its former brightness, sunlight poured down, illuminating Ji Chen, making his entire being appear so ethereal and transcendent.

“Dust Emperor, unrivaled!”

“Dust Emperor, peerless!”

“Dust Emperor, eternal!”

In Divine River City, after a moment of silence, countless people burst into cheers and cries, loudly chanting Ji Chen’s name.

At this moment, he was truly a hero.

Under the starlit sky, he single-handedly slew three emperors, turned the tide of battle, and defended the Desolate Realm’s final line and territory!

Dust Emperor, unparalleled in talent!

Years later, whenever people spoke of this war, none could hold back their amazement.

This was a young Dust Emperor, a prodigy against the heavens, whom despite only cultivating for three decades, had already entered the Reincarnation Emperor Realm, with unrivaled strength, he commanded respect across the Desolate and Yu Realms, achieving true invincibility in the world!

His accomplishments, unmatched by anyone, his fame known by all.

Even countless millennia later, the name of Dust Emperor would remain deeply etched in people’s minds.

“Dead… Emperor Qing is dead… Emperor Yan and Purple Emperor… all dead…”

In stark contrast to the Desolate Realm, at this moment, the countless cultivators of Yu Realm stood in complete silence.

They were filled with fear, anxiety, and unease, various emotions swirling in their hearts, knowing that the final outcome of this battle would be the defeat of Yu Realm.

Even the powerful three entities of the Reincarnation Emperor Realm had perished at Ji Chen’s hands.

On the Yu Realm side, who else could possibly contend with such an unmatched prodigy?

“Buzz!”

Faced with their silence, Ji Chen remained silent as well.

With a hand seal, he launched forward.

Immediately, brilliant divine lights surged, forming an enormous energy shield, like a smooth mirror, pressing toward the million-strong Yu Realm army.

“Boom!”

The earth shook, and the void collapsed and crumbled at this moment.

The energy shield was unstoppable, continuing its oppressive advance, leveling the mountains it encountered into flat land.

“Ah!”

Screams filled the air, many Yu Realm cultivators were caught off guard and were obliterated by the energy shield.

But many figures quickly fled, escaping frantically.

However, the energy shield, like the judgment of death, kept closing in, as if it was pushing toward the end of the world.

Finally, it was unclear how much time had passed.

Over half of Yu Realm’s million cultivators were dead or injured, only tens of thousands remained.

The scene was extremely tragic, in just a brief moment, tens of thousands died unaccounted, permanently left here.

“Buzz!”

The enormous energy shield shuddered, finally halting its advance.

It stood like a giant shield between heaven and earth, completely dividing the Desolate and Yu Realms.

“In three days, everyone must retreat to Yu Realm; this is the boundary line, henceforth, any who dares cross, shall die!”

A cold voice emanated from Ji Chen, accompanied by a force of the Dao, serenely echoing across the heavens and earth.

At this moment, it wasn’t just the Yu Realm cultivators on this battlefield, but countless beings in the endless deep sky of Yu Realm beyond them, who seemed to hear this voice, their minds couldn’t help but tremble.

“In the Desolate Realm… a peerless mighty one has emerged!”

“I sense the power of Immortal Format, who is this person?”

Some old creatures who had been in seclusion for years were completely disturbed, waking from their cultivation state, without exception, their eyes all focused toward the direction of the Desolate Realm, uttering these words.

An old man who had become an emperor for many years, his body thin as a withered stick, having lived untold millennia, now felt extreme fear, “Yu Realm has been defeated… Emperor Qing and the other two are most likely dead, I never imagined a person with Immortal Format would arise in the Desolate Realm…”

He murmured to himself, still feeling uneasy, thankful he hadn’t participated in this two-realm war.

Initially, Purple Emperor and others who initiated the war had come to seek him, hoping he would join the battlefield, fortunately, he refused in the end.

If not, his fate now would likely be no different from that of Purple Emperor and others.

…

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Divine River City returned to its usual calm.

The world-shaking battle concluded with the Desolate Realm achieving final victory.

Many cultivators who went to the battlefield would gradually withdraw and return to their respective Star Domains in the ensuing time.

Many who joined the battlefield permanently left their lives here.

Their heroic spirits will eternally guard in front of the boundary wall, their illustrious deeds making it hard for people to forget.

Aside from this, over the past few days, many in Divine River City lived cautiously.

Such as the Zhao Family, one of the Nine Great Emperor Clans.

Especially their Patriarch Zhao Yuan, who now frowns deeply, troubled and anxious.

It’s because before this war, the Zhao Family had some unpleasant encounters with Ji Chen.

He even once nearly threatened Ji Chen’s life.

Now, Ji Chen proved the Dao and became an emperor, his fame shook the two realms, becoming a hero of the Desolate Realm, praised by the world.

This is not good news for the Zhao Family.

If Ji Chen truly wanted to do something against the Zhao Family, Zhao Yuan wouldn’t doubt it at all; given Ji Chen’s current strength, just a thought could erase the Zhao Family permanently from Divine River City.

However, Ji Chen showed no intention to target the Zhao Family.

After the war, he stayed in Divine River City for a few days and visited the Qin Family, browsing their Martial Arts Pavilion.

To this, neither Qin Wenchang nor anyone in the Qin Family offered any opposition.

In their view, given Ji Chen’s current strength and status, there was no martial technique or cultivation technique in the world worth his attention.

In fact, if he wished to take the cultivation techniques from the Qin Family’s Martial Arts Pavilion and study them, it would be a supreme honor for the Qin Family, meaning that these martial techniques could be truly unleashed to their fullest potential in Dust Emperor’s hands.

Yet after several days of visiting, not only did Ji Chen not take any martial technique from the Qin Family, he even supplemented some lost inheritance cultivation techniques.

Qin Wenchang was extremely shocked by this; up until now, he still didn’t know where Ji Chen obtained these Qin Family techniques that had lost transmission for years.

After leaving the Qin Family, Ji Chen arrived at a quiet courtyard in the city.

Ning Bufan, Huang Shuying, and others had long been waiting here.

Fortunately, Ji Chen’s friends all survived this world-shaking battle, though suffering varying degrees of injuries, their lives were thankfully intact.
