The Lightning Domain was vast, and yet, small.
For an ordinary first-tier Emperor Venerable, they might not even be able to exit one domain in their entire lifetime.
They might not even be able to traverse the Four Directions Domain, making it seem vast.
Yet, it was also incredibly small.
So small that it encountered the Great Yu Realm so quickly.
...
In the chaos, a great sun rapidly opened up.
"Faster."
Emperor Yu bled, madly maneuvering his world to escape.
Behind him, an even more radiant great sun pressed forward.
"Great Yu."
A voice echoed from the great sun behind.
The chaos churned, disturbed by the sound: "Hand over the Spatial Boots, and I will spare your life."
Emperor Yu's face was filled with despair: "I told you, the Spatial Boots were stolen."
"Hmph."
The pursuer behind did not believe him, snorting coldly: "Then I will kill you, and I will search for them myself."
Rumble.
The scorching great sun instantly crossed the chaotic distance, catching up to the fleeing Great Yu Realm and suppressing it.
A strike from a Great Emperor.
The great sun rolled, causing the entire Great Yu Realm to collapse.
Emperor Yu's eyes split open: "Block it."
Buzz.
The power of the Great Dao surged into Emperor Yu's body.
Beside him, the heavenly emperors and venerables of the Great Yu Realm unleashed their full power, channeling it into Emperor Yu.
"Go."
A great sun ascended.
Great sun against great sun.
Boom.
The two great suns collided.
The roar echoed through the chaos.
"Ah..."
Emperor Yu's screams reverberated in the chaos.
The great sun, condensed by the entire Great Yu Realm, shattered.
"A mere螳臂当车."
The pursuing Great Emperor's eyes were filled with disdain.
His voice slowly echoed: "Great Yu, you were once a genius in the Crimson Sun Domain, yet you committed betrayal and stole another Spatial Boot from the Forbidden Zone."
"I am curious, what exactly made you decide to defect from the Crimson Sun Domain?"
As a powerful eighth-tier great world, how many people yearned to join it.
Yet Emperor Yu rebelled against the Crimson Sun Domain.
This matter greatly puzzled Great Emperor Dongyang.
Normally, he wouldn't care about a mere Heavenly Emperor escaping. But since he had encountered him now, he wanted to resolve his doubts.
"Defect?"
Emperor Yu, while maneuvering his world to escape, turned back and snorted coldly: "You know better than me what kind of place the Crimson Sun Domain is."
"Including you, Dongyang, you are nothing but a pack of hyenas fighting over scraps."
"How many opportunities have you snatched over the years, how many people's Great Daos have you plundered, do you really think I don't know?"
The Crimson Sun Domain was a place where people devoured each other.
The reason Emperor Yu defected from the Crimson Sun Domain was because of his son.
His son possessed peerless talent and had once comprehended a mutated Crimson Sun Great Dao.
Emperor Yu was naturally ecstatic then, as if he saw the rise of his family.
Any mutated Great Dao was a sign from heaven, a peerless path leading directly to the Great Emperor realm.
Who would have thought that his son would be assassinated, and his mutated Great Dao stolen?
Emperor Yu went mad.
The shattering of his hope drove him to the brink of insanity.
Afterwards, he investigated frantically and eventually traced it back to a Great Emperor of the Crimson Sun Great World.
Emperor Yu dared not seek revenge, for the life and death of the entire Great Yu Realm rested on his shoulders.
Finally, Emperor Yu defected.
He took the Great Yu Realm and fled from the Crimson Sun Domain, and stole the Spatial Boot that was suppressed in the Crimson Sun Forbidden Zone.
Great Emperor Dongyang understood all these matters without explanation.
"Heh heh."
Great Emperor Dongyang sneered: "Survival of the fittest. You talk of emotions in the chaos, Emperor Yu. I never expected that after living for hundreds of thousands of years, you would still be so naive."
"Go to hell!"
Emperor Yu was furious: "That was my son. Come... send your son to me and let me kill him. If you can still remain indifferent, I will immediately surrender."
Dongyang's words had completely enraged Emperor Yu.
Great Emperor Dongyang's gaze was cold, like frost.
"Noisy."
"..."
This time, Emperor Yu stopped wasting words.
Escape was the priority, even if the hope was slim.
"Kill."
Great Emperor Dongyang was furious.
How could a Great Emperor's son compare to the son of a mere Heavenly Emperor?
The wrath of a Great Emperor burned like raging flames.
Boom.
The great sun streaked across the sky.
It was too fast, its speed at its peak, instantly appearing above the Great Yu Realm.
Boom.
The great sun descended, and the entire Great Yu Realm was thrown into chaos.
Everything was shattering, and the human race living within was continuously perishing.
Cracked earth, vast rifts in the void... countless people died and shattered under the cataclysm.
The might of a Great Emperor was terrifying.
"Bastard."
Emperor Yu went mad.
His world was collapsing, his Dao universe was crumbling, his doom had arrived.
"Ah..."
He roared with unwilling fury.
The power of a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor was unleashed without reservation, attempting to block Great Emperor Dongyang's attack.
"Realm Lord."
Whether they were Heavenly Emperors or Emperor Venerables of the Great Yu Realm, they all stood by their Realm Lord.
Unfortunately...
All they could do was like moths flying into a flame.
This was a scene of blood and fire.
"Ah..."
Emperor Yu let out a piercing scream.
He was finished, his world was finished.
He could not avenge his son.
Everything perished under the hands of a Great Emperor.
"Die."
Great Emperor Dongyang looked down at the collapsing Great Yu Realm like a divine being.
The coldness in his pupils seemed to freeze the chaos, freeze heaven and earth.
"Haha."
Under the scorching great sun, Emperor Yu's body was melting.
He could not touch the might of a Great Emperor.
At this point, he felt a sense of release. He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years carrying hatred.
Seeing that the day of revenge was nowhere in sight, he had had enough.
Even though there was hatred in his heart, he had lived for too long, and revenge... there was no hope.
Since that was the case, forget it.
He no longer wanted to resist, and could only apologize to his son in the afterlife.
"Sorry..." Emperor Yu gave up.
Clang.
A sharp sword hum suddenly echoed through heaven and earth.
That sword hum tore through the chaos.
A divine sword that split heaven and earth bloomed above Great Emperor Dongyang's head.
"Presumptuous!"
Great Emperor Dongyang roared.
He turned, clenched his fist... Boom.
The divine sword descended, and the Crimson Sun Divine Fist rose to the sky, smashing towards the falling divine sword.
Boom!
The divine fist, radiant as a great sun, was actually split open by the sword light.
"How is this possible?" Great Emperor Dongyang's pupils contracted.
The next moment...
"I'm here too, let me smash you."
Boom.
A black staff, shattering the chaos, struck stealthily.
The violent power, like a god-demon cleaving the heavens, made Great Emperor Dongyang stagger.
The storm subsided, and two figures walked forward calmly.
"Isn't this Emperor Yu?"
A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face: "Why do you look so pathetic?"
"You guys..."
Emperor Yu was too shocked to speak.
What had he just witnessed?
The two of them, working together, had actually forced back a Great Emperor.
What the entire Great Yu Realm could not achieve with all its might, Chen Fan and the Immortal Emperor had accomplished.
Effortlessly, without a sound.
Immortal Emperor cast a cold, disdainful glance at Emperor Yu: "To think that the lord of a realm would be pushed to this extent, what a disgrace."
He was contemptuous.
The shattered Great Yu Realm had already vanished into thin air.
Only countless fragments floated in the chaos, about to disappear completely.
