Chapter 621: Before I Perish

"Run!"

"Run!"

"Run!"

Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage burned their Physical Body, Soul, and Origin, and even the path they walked was burning, all in the hope of getting away from that stalwart and majestic man.

Swish.

Space-time turned into a prison, and Xuanhuang Qi permeated as the two Peerless Great Saints were trapped within it.

"Profound Emperor!"

Sky Vault Great Sage roared angrily as space-time around him surged and exploded, trying to shatter the Xuanhuang prison, but he could not shake it by even a fraction.

Jade Kirin Great Sage had a heavy expression as he looked not far away; at this moment, they had returned to their original spot once again, and Profound Emperor stood there quietly, looking at them with apathetic eyes.

It was as if he was overlooking them from high above.

"Profound Emperor, you haven't stepped into the Thirteenth Order, yet you are forcibly breaking free from the time loop. This is courting death."

Jade Kirin Great Sage said in a solemn tone, staring straight at the stalwart and majestic man.

The stalwart and majestic man did not speak; with a calm expression, he flipped his raised right hand.

Instantly, the Xuanhuang cage trapping the two Peerless Great Saints began to collapse, and Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage inside it began to collapse as well.

"You survived last time, so you don't need to live this time."

Under the gaze of the stalwart and majestic man, Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage resisted desperately, but they still turned into dust within two or three breaths, their Physical Body, Soul, and inner Universe all reducing to dust.

"They're dead?"

Not far away, Lin Yuan took a deep breath.

The dignified two Peerless Great Saints died just like that?

Lin Yuan had fought with Sky Vault Great Sage and knew very well that this Peerless Great Saint's strength vastly surpassed his own; as long as he was willing to pay a price, he could completely suppress him in a short period of time.

But just such a Peerless Great Saint couldn't even last two or three breaths in the hands of Your Majesty Xuan Huang?

Along with Jade Kirin Great Sage, a Peerless Great Saint who was not weak in the slightest compared to Sky Vault Great Sage?

The two Peerless Great Saints were like those Chaos Venerables in front of Lin Yuan?

Without the slightest ability to resist?

"Is the strength of an Invincible Great Saint this much stronger than a Peerless Great Saint?"

Lin Yuan found it hard to believe in his heart.

He also concluded that Your Majesty Xuan Huang had not stepped into the Thirteenth Order, meaning he was still at the Twelfth Order, but this strength was simply too formidable; Peerless Great Saints of the same level were no different from ants.

"That's not right."

"An Invincible Great Saint shouldn't be this strong."

Lin Yuan confirmed in his heart that an Invincible Great Saint was indeed much stronger than a Peerless Great Saint and could sweep through the latter, but it was impossible for the strength of both sides to differ by this much.

"Is it because of the time loop?"

Lin Yuan looked at the stalwart and majestic man. At this moment, Profound Emperor's state was very strange, hovering between the Twelfth Order and the Thirteenth Order.

He had neither stepped into the Thirteenth Order nor surpassed the scope of the Twelfth Order.

After Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage were completely obliterated.

The stalwart and majestic man withdrew his right hand, glanced at Lin Yuan, and said with a smile, "I'm going to resolve some hidden troubles and will be back soon."

"Alright."

Watching the stalwart and majestic man disappear on the spot.

Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.

Various Chaotic Venerables did not know what had happened inside the Universe and were still discussing the scene of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage entering.

In the distance, a few special beings such as the Eye of Myriad Laws had solemn expressions, however.

Just at this moment.

The stalwart and majestic man appeared at the Universe entrance.

In a trance, the Xuanhuang Universe behind him began to endlessly spread and expand, encompassing the surrounding space-time and the Chaos Void.

"Who is that?"

"Why did he come out?"

"Where are the two Peerless Great Saints?"

Many Chaotic Venerables were still somewhat dazed and hadn't reacted yet.

"It really is Profound Emperor!"

The broken saber whispered. Even though it had already been confirmed earlier that Xuanhuang, who had charged at the Thirteenth Order thirty million cosmic eras ago, had reappeared, seeing it with its own eyes right now still left its heart somewhat unsettled.

As special beings, they had witnessed too much and even personally experienced the birth of a Thirteen Step Time Life.

But forcibly breaking free from the time loop? That was extremely rare; first, it was extremely difficult to achieve, and second, the price was far too great.

The forced breakaway here was not a normal Breakthrough from the bondage of the time loop, but rather breaking away in another way.

"Xuanhuang, this kid, I didn't expect the influence of his Heart Demon to be so great."

The Eye of Myriad Laws sighed. He had once told Lin Yuan that the possibility of Profound Emperor breaking through the time loop was very low because this Peerless Great Saint's Heart Demon was simply too heavy.

Now it seemed that indeed was the case.

"Chaos Void."

The stalwart and majestic man appeared outside the Xuanhuang Universe and took a deep breath.

In an instant, the Chaos Qi of several surrounding Void Domains, along with the thin Chaos Qi of the Barren Void, were all swallowed into his mouth.

The stalwart and majestic man glanced at the positions of the Eye of Myriad Laws and a few other special beings, without paying too much attention, and instead extended his right hand: "Sword, come."

Xuanhuang Qi converged to form an illusory longsword phantom.

The longsword was similar to the Profound Emperor Sword that Lin Yuan had acquired, but it was in an illusory state.

Even so, an unprecedented sharpness condensed within the illusory longsword.

"Slash!"

The stalwart and majestic man slashed twice consecutively toward the depths of the Chaos Void.

A very hidden Void Secret Realm.

Sky Vault Great Sage had a solemn expression. He looked distantly toward a certain direction and whispered, "Profound Emperor?"

As a Peerless Great Saint who had experienced tens of millions of cosmic eras, Sky Vault Great Sage naturally had many life-saving methods. He had four true physical bodies alone, and furthermore, as many as fifty-eight Clones.

Four true physical bodies and fifty-eight Clones—as long as one of them was alive, Sky Vault Great Sage could quickly recover.

As for life-saving methods? In the boundless Chaos Void, Sky Vault Great Sage didn't know how many life-saving methods he had left behind.

If all true physical bodies and Clones died, his life-saving methods would be triggered to "resurrect" once again.

"Thirty million cosmic eras ago, you killed all my true physical bodies and broke my many life-saving methods, forcing me to choose Reincarnation. But now? Can you still force me into Reincarnation?"

Sky Vault Great Sage sat there quietly.

Just at this moment.

A sword light slashed toward Sky Vault Great Sage along Karma and space-time.

"This?"

Before Sky Vault Great Sage could even react, his Physical Body and Soul rapidly disintegrated under the sword light.

At the same time.

Sky Vault Great Sage's third true body, the principal body located deep within a certain space-time labyrinth, was likewise slashed and annihilated by a sword light.

His fourth true Physical Body was slashed.

Sky Vault Great Sage's first Clone, hidden deep within the Taiyuan Ruins, was slashed.

His second Clone, hiding in a special place, was slashed.

His third Clone, located in a mysterious space, was slashed.

At the exact same instant, Sky Vault Great Sage's three true physical bodies and fifty-eight Clones were all slashed.

In the boundless Chaos Void, sword light also descended upon the many life-saving methods left behind by Sky Vault Great Sage, slashing and obliterating them.

Just as Sky Vault Great Sage's true bodies, Clones, and life-saving methods were being obliterated.

It was the same for Jade Kirin Great Sage; his numerous true physical bodies and life-saving methods were unresistingly slashed and obliterated by streaks of sword light following Karma and space-time.

"What is going on?"

"This kind of space-time Karma fluctuation?"

"Who is it? Profound Emperor?"

The disappearance of the two Peerless Great Saints' Karma and their complete demise immediately alarmed various ancient Great Saints in the Chaos Void. Many Peerless Great Saints who were in seclusion preparing for their final charge at the Thirteenth Order were all alarmed.

"This aura, is it Profound Emperor?"

"Your Majesty Xuan Huang? That Peerless Great Saint who rules over tens of thousands of Void Domains?"

"Didn't they say he charged at the Thirteenth Order?"

Some ancient Peerless Great Saints, even if they were not in the same era as Your Majesty Xuan Huang, had also heard of this Peerless Great Saint, and at this moment they were terrified to the extreme.

Throughout the long history of the Chaos Void, there had indeed been scenes of Peerless Great Saints falling, but that was an extremely special period, and the fallen Peerless Great Saints had all fallen after numerous bitter battles.

Moreover, no one knew whether they had truly perished completely, because at the final moment, a Peerless Great Saint could still undergo Reincarnation.

Once undergoing Reincarnation, a Peerless Great Saint would lose everything of their own, such as Physical Body and Soul, but at the same time, they would also completely sever their own Karma.

Back then, Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage had used this exact method to escape Profound Emperor's pursuit.

But right now?

The Karma of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage vanished far too quickly.

"Profound Emperor… Profound Emperor is reckoning, reckoning with all the Great Saints targeting the Xuanhuang Lineage."

Many Peerless Great Saints were terrified to the core, but they didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward. Thirty million cosmic eras ago, Profound Emperor already possessed the strength of an Invincible Great Saint; as long as he had enough time, he would be recognized by all Peerless Great Saints.

The strength he displayed now even surpassed the scope of normal Peerless Great Saints; at this time, no Peerless Great Saint dared to stand out.

Outside the Xuanhuang Universe.

The stalwart and majestic man carefully sensed for a moment and then slashed out three more swords.

After the three swords, the Karma of three ancient Peerless Great Saints completely vanished, and they couldn't even manage Reincarnation.

In fact, even over thirty million cosmic eras ago, when Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage underwent Reincarnation, they had been driven by Profound Emperor to a point with no retreat, with numerous true physical bodies and Clones perishing completely, and they only chose Reincarnation as a last resort.

As for like right now? Having only had a single true body slain, Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage were far from reaching a dead end, and naturally they didn't immediately Reincarnate.

Who could have thought that the sword slashed out by the stalwart and majestic man would be so terrifying in power, instantly obliterating all true bodies, Clones, and life-saving methods.

After slashing five swords, the longsword in the stalwart and majestic man's hand dissipated, and he turned around and stepped back into the Xuanhuang Universe.

Deep within the Xuanhuang Universe.

Lin Yuan had a solemn expression.

"The Karma of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage… completely vanished?" Lin Yuan thought to himself.

He had fought with these two Great Saints, which naturally produced Karma, and he could determine whether the other party still existed through Karma.

Of course, it was only determining whether they still existed; with Lin Yuan's current attainment in Karma, he had yet to reach the ability to lock onto the positional coordinates of the two Peerless Great Saints through Karma.

After all, the two Peerless Great Saints would also deliberately conceal their own Karma.

But unable to lock onto the positions of the two Peerless Great Saints through Karma, he could nevertheless determine whether the other party was alive or dead based on whether the Karma still existed.

Now that the Karma of Sky Vault Great Sage and Jade Kirin Great Sage had vanished, this disappearance was extremely thorough, as if it had been wiped out of thin air.

Just as Lin Yuan's thoughts were spreading.

The stalwart and majestic man appeared not far away, took a step forward, and stood in front of Lin Yuan.

"I know you have many doubts."

The stalwart and majestic man looked at Lin Yuan with a smile: "Don't worry, I will explain them to you one by one."

After saying this, the stalwart and majestic man paused for a moment, and then added another sentence:

"Before I perish."
