Chapter 1997: The Bombardment of the Two Emperors

Amidst relentless slaughter and bloodshed, Shi Hao clashed with the two Emperors in a battle so fierce it reached a white-hot intensity—a life-and-death struggle between Quasi-Immortal Emperors!

The boundless Chaos Sea churned violently under the impact of these supreme beings, fracturing endlessly as realms were born and destroyed in the blink of an eye, the power of creation surging ceaselessly.

“Kill!”

At this point, Cang Emperor and Hong Emperor fought desperately. Now that Shi Hao had manifested a true body, engaging them in separate battles, the situation turned dire for them.

The *Self-Transformation Supreme Technique* conjured another Shi Hao—cold, ruthless, and indistinguishable from the original.

This was no mere avatar or clone, but a *true body* in every sense!

A terrifying revelation!

Now, Cang Emperor and Hong Emperor summoned their divine forms, unleashing wave after wave of clones, hoping to maintain absolute dominance and crush Shi Hao.

Yet, with two “true bodies,” Shi Hao could also manifest avatars to join the life-or-death struggle.

Sure enough, from the chests of both true bodies emerged multiple figures—past incarnations, future warriors, invincible forms of the present—all manifesting simultaneously.

Two “true bodies,” two Shi Hao “originals,” each capable of summoning countless divine forms!

In an instant, the battlefield erupted into chaos. Countless figures clashed, divine power surged, and the very fabric of the Chaos Sea was torn asunder, birthing new worlds even as others collapsed.

Meanwhile, endless bolts of lightning coiled around them—a cataclysmic tribulation of destruction, a dense web of chaotic lightning seeking to annihilate all that disrupted the balance.

Yet, such world-shattering thunder held no power over Quasi-Immortal Emperors. It could not punish them.

Some wielded the *Three Heads and Six Arms* technique, amplifying their combat prowess.

Others summoned the *Thousand-Armed Divine Form*, their mana skyrocketing as they tore through heaven and earth.

Then came those who burned their essence blood, activating forbidden arts to multiply their mana, speed, and physical strength—their power surging beyond limits.

The battle raged at its peak. Each combatant pushed their limits, manifesting clones and unleashing their ultimate strength in the shortest time possible. The battlefield descended into utter pandemonium.

Amidst the entangled figures, the Chaos Sea boiled, the void disintegrated, and Quasi-Immortal Emperor blood spilled endlessly—a spectacle of breathtaking peril.

In this war, Shi Hao unleashed every divine ability, every law, fighting with unrelenting ferocity.

The two Emperors were no different. Their expressions had long since darkened, for they now faced a dire reversal—no longer three Emperors suppressing one, but two against two.

*Self-Transformation, Transcending Eternity*—the manifested figures were identical to the originals, equally capable of summoning avatars.

**Boom!**

Cang Emperor coughed blood as Shi Hao’s palm struck his chest, flesh exploding, bones shattering, and black blood spraying outward.

By the end, all so-called avatars had dissipated—for unlike true bodies, they would inevitably exhaust themselves, requiring re-summoning.

For beings of their level, it was meaningless.

Both sides wielded such techniques, effectively canceling each other out.

Now, it was a battle of two Emperors against Shi Hao’s two “true bodies”—the true core of the conflict!

“**Sacrifice Annihilation!**”

Cang Emperor roared, his body radiating dark light that twisted space, causing the Chaos Sea itself to crumble and dissolve into his primal energy.

An altar materialized, and he seated himself upon it, chanting incantations as he activated his supreme forbidden art, fighting Shi Hao to the death.

Now, it was back to one-on-one. He had no choice but to go all out, even burning his Quasi-Immortal Emperor essence blood to battle Shi Hao.

**Boom!**

The vast heavens trembled as the entire Chaos Sea morphed into an altar—a sight so terrifying it defied comprehension.

At its core sat Cang Emperor’s smaller altar, his divine form peerless, dark light erupting as he unleashed a Quasi-Immortal Emperor’s forbidden technique.

This was the pinnacle of his self-created system!

As a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, his methods were world-shaking!

Before this, he had attempted to refine Shi Hao using *Sacrifice to Heaven, Earth, and Heroes*, but failed.

Now, he activated this art at an even greater cost—placing *himself* upon the altar. A brutal, self-destructive method: to kill a thousand enemies, he would lose eight hundred of his own.

Only pushed to this extreme would he resort to such measures, risking his own annihilation.

The altar formed from the Chaos Sea was enigmatic, wisps of smoke rising as if offering tribute to some unfathomable entity.

**Boom!**

Shi Hao was seized by an immense force, dragged toward the altar.

“**Kill!**”

His true body expanded to a height of millions of miles, towering between heaven and earth, threatening to burst the Chaos Sea apart and shatter his foe’s technique.

This was an altar-world, refining all life within it.

A sacrificial slaughter—if ensnared, death would be a mercy.

**Rumble!**

The colossal altar continued to pull at Shi Hao’s massive form, seeking to offer him as a living sacrifice, erasing him from existence.

“**Annihilate!**” Cang Emperor bellowed, his gray hair withering further as his essence burned, his blood dimming—his exhaustion immense.

**Boom!**

Shi Hao’s body erupted with boundless light!

His colossal form filled the Chaos Altar World, overwhelming and majestic. All laws converged, unleashing a force capable of annihilating all creation.

**Boom!**

Channeling most of his mana into his right palm, a radiant brilliance coalesced—shaping into an object of supreme splendor, ultimately forming a gigantic axe!

With a mighty swing, the axe of the Great Dao thundered, its dazzling radiance unstoppable, capable of cleaving even Chaos itself!

“**Kill!**”

With Shi Hao’s roar, the axe split the Chaos Altar World asunder. The entire realm exploded, the grand altar sundered in two!

Forged from the symbols of the Great Dao, the axe’s blinding edge cleaved through the smaller altar at the heart of the Chaos Altar—and Cang Emperor upon it.

The strike was catastrophic. Cang Emperor never imagined his supreme technique would be broken—nor that he himself would be split in half, blood gushing forth!

His soul-light surged, encasing his bisected form as he fled at blinding speed.

Shi Hao let out a war cry. The great axe in his hand transformed with a metallic *clang*, becoming a radiant immortal sword that illuminated the Chaos Sea, its edge singing with lethal intent.

Still forged from the symbols of the Great Dao!

With a fierce slash, he severed the fleeing soul and flesh. Amidst wet *thuds*, Cang Emperor howled as he was carved into segments, suffering devastating wounds.

Yet, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was not so easily destroyed. Even with his soul torn asunder, he refused to perish, rapidly reassembling to continue the fight.

However, Shi Hao’s laws now permeated his being, hindering his recovery.

**Roar!**

Shi Hao charged, his body shrinking to normal size, a sword in his right hand and a fist-seal in his left, striking with overwhelming force.

This was absolute suppression!

One had to marvel—the vitality of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor was boundless, death elusive.

Just as Shi Hao had endured the Siege of three Emperors, his body shattered, his brow split, yet he fought on.

Now, Cang Emperor did the same. Even with limbs severed, he battled on, drenched in blood.

“**Kill!**”

Shi Hao, hair disheveled and eyes crimson, fought with every ounce of strength. Time was of the essence.

**Thud!**

In the end, the two titans clashed deep within the Chaos. Shi Hao’s fist pierced through his foe’s body, shattering him apart.

Cang Emperor roared in fury. Never in all eternity had he suffered such humiliation—a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, blasted apart by another!

Though he reformed, Shi Hao’s laws riddled his flesh with cracks, preventing full recovery.

**Thud!**

Another fist-seal from Shi Hao punched through him, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. A finger thrust pierced his brow, shredding his soul.

“**I am a Quasi-Immortal Emperor—eternal and indestructible!**”

Cang Emperor struggled desperately.

Indeed, Quasi-Immortal Emperors were nearly impossible to kill. Otherwise, the flames of the fallen Emperor from the *Era of Fallen Immortals* would not still burn to this day.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Chaos Sea, a second battlefield raged just as fiercely, blood staining the void.

Shi Hao’s other “true body” battled Hong Emperor, their conflict so intense it manifested the River of Time, threatening to alter its course. Their clash resonated across past, present, and future.

Streaks of light shot forth—some illuminating ancient starry skies, others hurtling toward distant futures, runes scattering like stars.

Yet, these beams touched no living beings, altering no destinies.

“**Huang, I admit your strength. But even if you defeat me, what then? You will still fall in the end,**” Hong Emperor declared.

“**What gives you such confidence? Once dead, your eternity is void. What victory or defeat remains?**” Shi Hao snarled.

**Boom!**

A pair of colossal wings unfurled behind him, swirling with Yin and Yang energies. Shi Hao wielded these wings of law, channeling supreme mana in a devastating assault.

These wings embodied the essence of divine techniques—Kun Peng, True Phoenix, Thunder Emperor—all elevated by Shi Hao to unprecedented heights.

Now, they represented the duality of heaven and earth—light and darkness, Yin and Yang—exploding with world-shaking power!

**Bang!**

Hong Emperor was sent flying by the wings. Shi Hao’s fist-seal fused the essence of *Indestructibility*, *Six Paths Reincarnation*, and other supreme arts into a single, unstoppable strike.

At the peak of his power, this was *his* law, *his* Great Dao—an invincible momentum as his fist crashed into Hong Emperor’s skull.

The purple-gold crown shattered, violet mist scattering as Hong Emperor screamed, collapsing backward. His soul fled, carrying his essence blood into the distance.

Quasi-Immortal Emperors knew no retreat. Since antiquity, they had crushed all opposition.

Yet today, Hong Emperor tasted bitter defeat, forced to flee from the maddened Huang, whose threat was too great.

Even an indestructible Quasi-Immortal Emperor could not endure endless soul-rending blows.

“**Kill!**”

At this stage, Shi Hao had but one word. Both “true bodies” pursued Cang Emperor and Hong Emperor, intent on their annihilation.
