The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2066: Chapter 1212–1213: Void Clash, Wood God Shield

“Fire Emperor, the defeat from that day has remained with me for over a millennium. Today, I will reclaim my honor!” Marquis Bamboo Sword’s cold voice resonated, and the terrifying aura emanating from him startled the observing Red Flame King.

Initially, the Red Flame King believed that the Fire Dao restrained the Wood Dao. Even if Marquis Bamboo Sword upheld the Sword Path for slaughter, he was unlikely to have any hope of victory under the suppression of the Realm. However, at this moment, the aura that erupted from Marquis Bamboo Sword had also reached the level of a Supreme Overlord.

“Supreme Overlord, indeed only at such a Realm would you dare to challenge me!” Flames flared around the Fire Emperor, transforming into wings of crimson, imbued with a sacred majesty, as if he were a Supreme.

He was not meeting Marquis Bamboo Sword for the first time. They had encountered each other a thousand years ago, like natural-born adversaries. Even then, they had engaged in a fierce battle, where the Fire Emperor held the upper hand, forcing Marquis Bamboo Sword to retreat in defeat. Perhaps this was why Marquis Bamboo Sword had chosen to approach another side.

The Fire Emperor knew that Marquis Bamboo Sword, although a practitioner of the Sword Path, was not like those lunatic swordsmen of the Sword Sect who would gamble everything for the Sword Path, stubbornly persisting no matter the cost. He could discern the gravity of situations.

Yet this existence constrained him, lacking the decisiveness of a true sword cultivator, missing that reckless abandon when facing life and death.

Thus, when the opponent arrived, the Fire Emperor had already guessed that Marquis Bamboo Sword might have stepped into the realm of Supreme Overlord, for only then would he have the confidence.

“Brother Zhu, it’s time to settle our karma! Since you’ve chosen to stand on that path, you must bear the consequences. The Void will be your burial ground.” The Fire Emperor extended his fiery wings behind him, sweeping up endless waves.

With a stretch of his hand, he tore through the Void and stepped inside. The battle of Supreme Overlord level had already harmed the Five Directions Continent, especially those who could challenge True Immortals. They could easily destroy mountains and merge rivers. If they fought here, an entire territory could be sunk, a consequence they could not afford.

Moreover, this was his home, and the Fire Emperor was unwilling to fight here; even victory would come at a loss.

“Hahaha, just as I intended. Since you seek your own death, I need not hold back.” Marquis Bamboo Sword’s hand gently sliced through the Void. In a step, he crossed over, tearing open the Space and entering the Void.

The Red Flame King watched as both powerful figures entered the Void, red light flickering in his eyes. After some thought, he also decided to step into the Void. Apart from not wanting to miss such a battle between powerful beings, he also harbored thoughts of preventing lethal animosity between them.

Ultimately, they all belonged to the Five Emperors’ descendants, and the loss of any one of them was a great loss to the Five Emperors’ lineage. Thus, while a battle was acceptable, if it came to life and death, he felt he could not sit idly by.

When he entered the Void, he saw waves of Space surging, as both sides swiftly engaged, a fierce clash unfolding in the Void — the pinnacle duel of Supreme Overlords.

In the depths of the Void, the two powerful figures instantly tore open a battlefield belonging to them alone. Only a Supreme Overlord possessed such strength. By fighting in this Void, they ensured no impact on the Divine Land World, otherwise their duel would have destroyed entire regions, reversing rivers’ flow.

“Fire Emperor, today is the day of your complete downfall, Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!” Marquis Bamboo Sword’s Primordial Qi surged, and the sword in his hand gradually transformed into countless sharp blades, displaying unparalleled power, like ten thousand arrows, slashing towards the Fire Emperor.

“Fire Emperor Flag!” Facing a direct confrontation with a Supreme Overlord, not even daring to show any disregard in words, deep down, the Fire Emperor was careful not to underestimate the opponent. He wielded his Fire Emperor Flag, sweeping it as if enveloping the countless blades within.

This Fire Emperor Flag was a divine weapon treasure built at a high cost, his Lifebound Divine Weapon, displaying its full majesty in his hand.

“Bang”

The sound of a collision echoed in the Void, and everywhere reverberated with layers of spatial fractures as the two Supreme Overlords engaged in a duel.

Blocking the countless swords, the Fire Emperor swung the Fire Emperor Flag like a spear thrust into the air, killing intent piercing the Nine Heavens, an earth-shattering strike, unfaltering, traversing the barriers of Space.

This was the ultimate slaughter technique created by senior sages of Fire Emperors throughout generations, now exhibiting invincible power in the Fire Emperor’s hands.

The Fire Emperor’s expression was icily cold, his crimson eyes emitting a frigid glare freezing the Space. This slaughter technique, developed with the combined wisdom of past Fire Emperor sages, could easily kill a Supreme if it penetrated their Divine Body, even if the Supreme’s Divine Body reached Great Success, they dared not underestimate this attack.

“Bang”

Effortlessly piercing Marquis Bamboo Sword’s Divine Body, yet showing no joy, the Fire Emperor frowned, recalling a divine ability of Marquis Bamboo Sword from the past, Bamboo Sword Avatar. He used the Wood Dao and his Bamboo Sword to create an avatar, shifting his true form to once slay a Supreme.

“Boom!”

A terrifying explosion blasted through the Void behind the Fire Emperor, merely a hundred feet away. Had he not reacted at this critical moment, moving his body aside, he might have been split in two.
