Others were also dumbfounded.
They never expected Baili Aotian to still control a Saint's sword energy.
Before they could recover.
The scene before their eyes changed.
The Human Emperor's sword energy shattered Chen Nan's small world.
It severely wounded his soul, causing him to vomit fresh blood.
The next moment.
That Saint's sword energy tore through the firmament with destructive force.
It opened a massive rift in the sky.
The heavens.
Were collapsing!
Order shattered.
Laws became chaotic.
Terrifying extraterrestrial fires poured in.
Like meteors, they streaked across the sky with long fiery tails.
At the same time.
Deep within the nine heavens, the terrifying sword mark grew larger with the passage of time.
It was being swallowed by the endless river of time and space.
At the same moment.
Humans.
Demons.
And devils.
The billions of beings across the three realms witnessed this shocking spectacle.
------
The Demon Realm.
An antelope was leisurely grazing on a lush green meadow.
The next moment.
Its ears twitched slightly.
It slowly raised its head.
A colossal meteorite, trailing a long fiery tail, tore through the sky and slammed heavily into the ground before its eyes.
Its eyes were filled with confusion.
It couldn't comprehend what was happening.
The next second.
A mushroom cloud erupted from where the meteorite had landed.
Terrifying energy crushed outwards in all directions.
Instantly incinerating the vegetation.
The antelope finally came to its senses, turned, and fled desperately.
But before it could escape.
The energy from the explosion consumed it.
In an instant, it turned to dust.
------
At the same time.
Humans, demons, and devils.
The beings of the three realms also faced impending doom.
Extraterrestrial fires rained down.
Exploding with deafening impacts.
The terrifying celestial fires caused countless lives to wither instantly.
Blood!
Death!
Wails filled the entire Immortal Realm!
"Taiyi Xuantian, are you human or beast?" Qinglong spat out a mouthful of blood in anger, radiating boundless fury. "The Immortal Realm has billions of sentient beings, races."
"To kill Chen Nan, you'd sacrifice them all?"
"Calling you a beast would be an insult to beasts!"
"You were a Saint in your previous life."
"Don't you know that the heavens value life?"
"This Dragon Lord will defile your ancestors."
"And your immortal ancestors too."
"The strong of the Divine Realm bravely sacrificed themselves to protect the Immortal Realm."
"To ensure the continuation of our three realms' heritage."
"Many Saints perished, only then was peace achieved in the Immortal Realm."
"Now it's all ruined by you, you bastard!"
It was filled with immense rage.
Never before had it been so angry.
Because it knew the truth behind the demise of those Saints and Heavenly Gods of the Divine Realm.
They could have escaped.
But they didn't.
They did it to protect the lives of the three realms.
And now.
The Human Emperor had destroyed the Immortal Realm for his own selfish desires!
The Human Emperor laughed maniacally, "Can I be blamed for this?"
"I didn't want this."
"It's all the fault of my outstanding disciple."
"If he had been willing to be possessed by me."
"How could I have harmed the innocent?"
"In fact, he is the sinner of the Immortal Realm!"
Chen Nan's face was as pale as wax.
A trace of pale golden blood lingered at the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the sky, his deep eyes filled with a calm indifference. "Since this matter began because of me, I shall quell this world-ending crisis!"
As he spoke.
He slowly closed his eyes.
His body transformed into seven rules: Yang, Yin, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Then he shot towards the heavens, weaving into the massive rift above.
He intended to mend the celestial rift with this method.
He would mend the heavens with his life!
At the same time.
He released the soul bonds with the great demons.
"Your life belongs to me!" The Human Emperor roared in fury, charging towards the sky, intending to stop Chen Nan.
"Scram!"
Yan Guang wept tears, blocking the Human Emperor. Terrifying demonic energy emanated from his fists.
But before he could strike.
The Human Emperor pierced through his chest with a palm.
Sending him flying into the air.
"Great Dao of Destruction!" Lei Di transformed into lightning and clashed head-on with the Human Emperor.
Although he managed to resist the Human Emperor.
He was sent flying in the next moment.
He had already suffered a backlash from the Great Dao of Destruction.
Let alone forcefully activating it now.
"Husband, wait for me!"
The Empress's eyes were resolute.
She formed hand seals.
Her soul power poured into the Great Dao of Life without reservation.
The next moment!
Emerald green radiance erupted from her body!
Instantly, the strength of several Human Supremes was restored to its peak.
The great demons also became spirited.
"Kill!"
Qinglong's dragon soul detached from Ao Lie's body.
Leading the other powerhouses to stop the Human Emperor.
Although it did not wish for Chen Nan to die.
It knew well.
Only Chen Nan could save the billions of lives in the Immortal Realm.
Otherwise.
The Immortal Realm would be annihilated.
And billions of lives would turn to dust.
"Die!"
Emperor Yan.
King Wu.
Emperor Qian.
Emperor Shi.
Emperor Lei.
Emperor Yin. The six Human Supremes simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks.
Forming a defensive line, successfully holding back the Human Emperor.
At the same time.
Yan Guang.
Ao Lie.
White Tiger Demon Emperor.
Kirin Demon Emperor.
Eight-Eyed Magic Spider.
And Chen Jin, who had transformed into his true form, along with the three great demons from Nirvana Mountain, also attacked simultaneously.
"Insects daring to contend with the brilliance of the moon?"
"Truly overestimating yourselves."
The Human Emperor's gaze was indifferent.
The Law of Annihilation instantly enveloped everyone.
With this single move.
Everyone was completely immobilized.
They were as if frozen, unable to move.
The Human Emperor's strength surpassed everyone's imagination.
Even though he was severely wounded.
He was still beyond the reach of others.
After all.
His previous life was a quasi-saint!
"Good disciple, your life belongs to me, not to this world!"
The Human Emperor did not waste time in defeating the strong. The Law of Annihilation swept towards Chen Nan like a beam of light.
Just as it was about to catch up.
The seven laws that Chen Nan had transformed into instantly accelerated.
Under the furious and unwilling gaze of the Human Emperor, they merged with the celestial dome.
"Damn it!"
The Human Emperor was furious.
He never expected that after years of painstaking planning.
It had ultimately failed.
As the law power that Chen Nan had transformed into merged into the depths of the shattered celestial dome.
The massive opening began to heal at a visible speed.
He had repaired it with his life.
He had saved the billions of races in the Immortal Realm with his life.
Sentient beings.
"Human Emperor, your scheme has failed!" Qinglong roared with laughter.
But his laughter soon turned into sobs.
He couldn't accept the reality of Chen Nan's death.
Others also couldn't hide their grief and pain.
The prophecy, ultimately, did not come true.
Although Chen Nan escaped the Human Emperor's possession, he transformed into rules to save all beings.
"Even if my plan failed, you will not escape alive." The Human Emperor was enraged, and the Law of Annihilation surged out, intending to obliterate everyone.
But at this moment.
The void trembled.
Thunder roared!
Chen Nan's voice suddenly echoed through heaven and earth, "Dear Master, you can still implement your plan."
"However, can you still defeat me?"
