The Land of Darkness—another battlefield!
Here, black clouds surged, the land was shattered, and the endless earth collapsed. The magma erupting from beneath was pitch black.
This was where the Willow God was locked in fierce combat with the Feather Emperor!
Their battle was devastating, annihilating entire worlds, shattering the starry skies, and sending stars plummeting into ruin. Yet, the dark energy still permeated the land.
Beneath this earth lay a dense source of darkness!
“Kill!”
At this moment, there was no choice, no retreat—only battle. The once serene and peaceful Willow God had been pushed to its limits, fighting with true fury, drenched in blood.
The Feather Emperor was formidable, the strongest among the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors. It was he who had once pierced the pioneer of the Fallen Emperor Era with his God-Slaying Spear, and even now, the blood of emperors still stained its tip.
“Useless. You were no match for me then, and you still aren’t now!” The Feather Emperor sneered coldly, gripping his spear as he thrust forward once more.
**Boom!**
Though separated by millions of miles, the spear arrived in an instant, piercing through the cosmos, unstoppable and annihilating all in its path!
The crimson spear, dripping with blood, was a terrifying sight!
“Shameless! Had it not been for the three of you joining forces back then, who could say who would have won in a one-on-one fight?!”
A voice rang out from a tower—snow-white and crystalline, ten stories tall, radiating the overwhelming pressure of a Quasi-Emperor.
This was the Little Pagoda. Within it burned an unyielding spirit, along with regret and indignation. It knew these emotions came from the bones of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor fused into its structure.
**Boom!**
The Willow God struck, its body now radiant and translucent, wreathed in flames that made it shine with boundless brilliance.
A branch of chaos lashed out, clashing against the spear with a metallic ring, erupting in dazzling light.
At the same time, countless other branches transformed into chains of order, piercing through the cosmos as they surged toward the Feather Emperor’s true form, striking with true fury.
**Hum!**
The void trembled as the Feather Emperor’s sacred wings flapped, unleashing a tempest that spanned millions of miles, scattering the incoming chains of order.
Moreover, those wings expanded, transforming into two massive blades that slashed forward, cleaving the universe apart.
**Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!**
The Feather Emperor’s strength was undeniable, shaking the past and present. With an almost invincible momentum, his wings swept through the heavens, severing countless branches of chaos.
“Birdman, your life is mine!”
The Little Pagoda roared, its ten stories glowing as it manifested a colossal dharma form, diving forward to crush the Feather Emperor.
**Clang!**
Arrogant, the Feather Emperor wielded his spear with one hand against the Willow God while raising his other to strike the pagoda. His palm radiated blinding brilliance.
**Bang!**
The Little Pagoda was sent flying, the clash of Quasi-Immortal Emperor pressures erupting violently.
“I’ll fight you to the death!”
The Little Pagoda bellowed. Having fused with the bones of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it was sturdy and powerful enough to engage in a desperate struggle, manifesting a dharma body as vast as an ancient mountain, relentlessly smashing downward.
Simultaneously, it unleashed spatial laws, attempting to immobilize the Feather Emperor and draw him into its structure.
“Pathetic remnants of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor—what can you do to me?” The Feather Emperor’s voice was icy as he formed seals, clashing repeatedly with the pagoda, sparks flying.
**Clang!**
Meanwhile, the Willow God and the Feather Emperor engaged in their own fierce duel. Thousands of willow branches lashed out, interwoven with the symbols of the Great Dao, shaking the battlefield.
“I am invincible across time and space. Even if you burn with dying flames, you cannot defy the heavens! Submit!” The Feather Emperor’s arrogance knew no bounds.
His attacks grew even more ferocious.
**Boom!**
The Willow God was sent flying, the Quasi-Immortal Emperor flames flickering violently upon its body, flaring with even greater brilliance.
“Kill!”
The Feather Emperor raised his spear, thrusting forward to impale the Emperor Tree.
**Whoosh!**
In a radiant burst, the Willow God unleashed boundless divine might, transforming into a humanoid figure clad in white robes, its form ethereal and peerless, wreathed in flames.
Enveloped in the Emperor’s Fire, it burned with undying divine flames.
**Boom!**
The Willow God attacked, fighting with its life on the line. A single palm strike sent shockwaves through heaven and earth, golden symbols of supreme Dao erupting from its hand.
**Clang!**
The spear was deflected, and the Willow God closed the distance, engaging the Feather Emperor in close combat.
“All who dared face me like this are dead!” the Feather Emperor said coldly.
Indeed, he possessed invincible prowess. His speed surpassed even light, and with a mere gesture, he tore the universe asunder, summoning endless lightning to strike the Willow God.
**Whoosh!**
The Willow God’s eyes gleamed as it formed seals, unleashing the Six Paths Reincarnation Technique. Six black holes appeared in the void, devouring all the lightning.
Now, the Willow God had fully regained its past memories, mastering the ancient immortal arts with ease. Combined with the Emperor’s Fire, its aura was terrifying.
The power of the Fallen Emperor Era—his cultivation, his techniques—now resided within the Willow God, granting it endless combat strength.
Once, the soul of the Emperor’s Fire had departed, returning to the other side of the Boundary Sea as a flame, engraving the myriad Daos and merging all laws. Now, it had returned to defeat the emperors of this side.
In the next moment, the Little Pagoda was summoned, hovering above the Willow God’s head. The Emperor’s bones and fire were one, their combined might even greater.
**Whoosh!**
The Willow God formed seals and struck, its body turning into a streak of white light as it tangled with the Feather Emperor in relentless combat.
Whenever the spear thrust forward, the pagoda above the Willow God’s head would sweep down with Dao runes, blocking every attack.
“A mere remnant—how dare you fight me like this? How long can you last?” The Feather Emperor was merciless, knowing his opponent was buying time for Shi Hao.
**Boom!**
The Willow God’s killing intent surged as it fought with all its might.
**Splat!**
Blood sprayed from the Feather Emperor’s shoulder as a willow branch materialized from the void, piercing his flesh.
“Hmph, you made me bleed. Your end will be miserable.” The Feather Emperor’s expression was icy.
From beginning to end, the Willow God remained silent, attacking relentlessly. Clad in white robes, it appeared transcendent, like an immortal untouched by the mortal world.
The battle was brutal. The Willow God, pushing its limits, managed to hold the Feather Emperor at bay. Blood splattered as the symbols of the Great Dao bloomed across the sky.
Finally, they plunged into the Chaos Sea.
“Perish!”
The Feather Emperor roared in fury, his killing intent boiling as he failed to eliminate his foes.
**Boom!**
Thousands of immortal feathers materialized around him, transforming into divine arrows that rained down upon the Willow God and the Little Pagoda.
These were Quasi-Immortal Emperor arrows—his own feathers—each capable of annihilating a world, let alone in such numbers.
The Willow God dodged, avoiding the onslaught.
The Chaos Sea was riddled with holes, torn apart by the arrows before new worlds were forcibly carved into existence.
One arrow, one world!
**Hum!**
The arrows reversed course, refusing to stop until their targets were slain.
**Whoosh!**
The Emperor’s Fire blazed as countless leaves—some emerald, some gold—drifted down from the void, radiant and dazzling.
**Boom!**
Thousands of willow leaves ignited, hurtling toward the arrows.
The collision unleashed cataclysmic power.
When silence returned, the ground was littered with shattered leaves. The Willow God staggered back, blood trickling from its lips.
Now, it was calm, serene—unafraid of death.
The Emperor’s Fire dimmed slightly, revealing the Willow God’s true form—white robes stained with blood like blooming crimson flowers, its face beautiful and peerless.
A transcendent warrior.
The Willow God appeared feminine yet dressed as a man, its grace unmatched.
It was not a Quasi-Immortal Emperor—merely wielding the Emperor’s Fire. Yet, fused together, it had fought the Feather Emperor to this extent, a feat worthy of legend.
As always, its elegance was unparalleled.
Whether in victory or defeat, it left an indelible mark, a peerless aura.
“Kill!”
The Willow God’s voice was magnetic, its demeanor untarnished even in the heat of battle.
**Boom!**
The battle was nearing its end.
After all, this was not its own Quasi-Immortal Emperor power—only borrowed through the Emperor’s Fire.
**Bang! Bang! Bang!**
The Willow God was forced back, its flames flickering violently under the Feather Emperor’s relentless assault.
“My life is reaching its end.”
The Willow God spoke calmly, sending a message to Shi Hao at the edge of chaos, informing him of the dire situation and urging him to prepare for the worst.
“Willow God, retreat!” Shi Hao roared.
He was frantically pursuing the other two emperors, desperate to finish them off before they could recover. But now, the Willow God faced a grave crisis.
“Take care of yourself.” These were the Willow God’s final words.
Shi Hao howled in anguish, attacking with near-suicidal fury, yet failing to immediately slay the two emperors.
Quasi-Immortal Emperors were too hard to kill!
Nearly despairing, Shi Hao burned his true blood, grievously wounding the two emperors before abandoning the fight to rush toward the Willow God.
He knew the Willow God was in dire straits—the Feather Emperor was too powerful. Escape was impossible. The Willow God was about to fall.
Shi Hao arrived just in time to see the Little Pagoda shattered by the Feather Emperor’s strike, its body broken apart. Though the Feather Emperor’s hand was bloodied, he had breached its defenses.
Even fused with Quasi-Immortal Emperor bones, the Little Pagoda could not withstand the blow.
The Willow God burned its true form, igniting the last of the Emperor’s Fire in a final, suicidal assault.
“Willow God, no!” Shi Hao cried out.
“I’ve done my best.” The Willow God’s voice was peaceful even as its life waned.
Then, wreathed in flames, it lunged at the Feather Emperor.
**Boom!**
Fire engulfed the Feather Emperor, boiling the Chaos Sea.
“Roar!”
The Feather Emperor thrashed violently, unwilling to face this scenario. The Emperor’s Fire, fused with the Willow God, burned with terrifying intensity, unsettling even him.
Normally, he avoided the Emperor’s Fire, fearing its corruption.
The fire was enigmatic, once nurturing the life imprint of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. If it invaded another emperor’s body, it could wreak havoc.
Now, the Feather Emperor resisted with all his might.
“Kill!”
Shi Hao charged at the Feather Emperor in a frenzy.
**Boom!**
At that moment, the Emperor’s Fire erupted, engulfing the Feather Emperor in a blaze that set the Chaos Sea aflame.
“Roar!”
The Feather Emperor bellowed, his body charred and ruined, his essence wounded by the flames.
**Splat!**
But then, the fire exploded, and the Willow God’s form blurred. Countless willow leaves withered into ash.
It reverted to its true form—a tree—but soon snapped, burning away.
Shi Hao went berserk, attacking the Feather Emperor relentlessly before pouring his life essence and blood into the dying tree.
Most of the tree had already turned to ash, vanishing without a trace.
In the end, only a charred stump remained.
“Willow God!”
Shi Hao wailed in grief. Despite his efforts, he could only preserve the roots and a blackened stump.
