Outside the Shenxiao Domain.
The Realm of Life and Death once again initiated its escape mode.
"Eighth-stage Great Emperor."
Cold sweat streamed down Chen Fan's face.
The fleeting glimpse he caught in his last look had instilled in him immeasurable fear.
An eighth-stage Great Emperor. The pressure was from his bloodline.
It was a bloodline suppression from someone standing at the pinnacle of humanity.
"Damn it, that was too close." The Immortal Emperor felt utterly drained.
He, too, was terrified.
No one wouldn't be. That was an eighth-stage Great Emperor.
Truly a human standing at the apex of humanity, the strongest.
"Hoo."
The Realm of Life and Death was opened, and they fled.
Now a fifth-stage Great World, the Realm of Life and Death still held the same people.
"I wonder how those people are doing," the Overlord's voice trembled.
There was no choice.
The final pressure was like a vast, surging ocean.
As if it were about to crush this entire realm under its foot.
The Realm of Life and Death continued to open up, moving further and further away.
However, they did not flee back to the Four Directions Domain but continued to wander within the scope of the Shenxiao Domain.
This vengeance, Chen Fan would not forget.
"Qingxiao Realm, you will be destroyed." These were Chen Fan's words.
He then added, "First, I will digest the gains from this period. After digestion, I will go to the Shenxiao Domain. I must kill Qingxiao."
If there's a debt, it must be repaid.
...
Chaos. Time flowed endlessly.
Here, time was the least valuable commodity.
A month passed, and the Realm of Life and Death was still digesting its recent gains. The thirteen Great Worlds had yielded immense spoils.
And no one expected that in the Chaos, two Great Worlds would meet so silently.
Tiger Realm, Realm of Life and Death.
No one could have foreseen this.
When both sides sensed each other's presence, escape was already impossible.
"Roar."
A mighty roar shook the heavens and earth.
A colossal, ten-thousand-zhang tiger coiled above the Tiger Realm. With every breath, it inhaled vast amounts of chaotic energy.
"Fifth-stage world."
The majestic tiger spotted the world of Life and Death, which was circling in the distance.
Within its tiger eyes, scenes of spatial folding seemed to constantly unfold. "Realm of Life and Death, such luck. Truly fortunate."
The Tiger Emperor was immensely excited.
A fifth-stage Realm of Life and Death offered more benefits than an ordinary sixth-stage Great World.
"Advance."
The Tiger Emperor commanded.
The Tiger Realm... aggressively advanced towards the Realm of Life and Death.
The radiation of the Grand Dao of Space had already enveloped the Realm of Life and Death.
*Shick.*
Above the Realm of Life and Death, Chen Fan appeared.
The moment the other party sensed the Realm of Life and Death, he, too, sensed this Great World filled with spatial energy.
He stood above the Realm of Life and Death, his expression grave as he watched the Tiger Realm rapidly approaching.
The aura of the Grand Dao of Space had already enveloped the Realm of Life and Death.
"Hoo."
He exhaled a heavy breath.
He did not question them; their intentions were already clear.
Only a grave voice echoed within the realm: "All Emperor Lords, prepare to face the enemy."
*Swish.*
Stars flickered, one after another.
All cultivators at the Emperor Lord realm emerged from their cultivation stars.
They stepped out of the realm and looked towards the rapidly approaching Tiger Realm.
"What is this..."
The Immortal Emperor's eyebrows shot up. "A spatial world opened by a chaotic beast?"
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Could chaotic beasts also possess such talent?
Space, the ultimate Grand Dao that so many yearned for. With the Grand Dao of Space, one could escape even when facing an enemy a realm higher.
This was the power of space.
Simultaneously, in terms of cutting force, no other Grand Dao could surpass space.
"Open."
Chen Fan suddenly roared.
The power of the Grand Dao of Life and Death instantly spread out, colliding with the Grand Dao of Space of the Tiger Realm.
*Boom.*
Before the two sides could even engage, their Daos clashed violently.
The Dao of Life and Death was clearly at a disadvantage, being compressed by the Grand Dao of Space.
Sixth stage against fifth stage.
However, the Dao of Life and Death was, after all, a Dao of the Two Extremes, extremely tenacious. Even in its retreat, it clung stubbornly to the Grand Dao of Space, preventing it from spreading too rapidly.
"A good Dao."
The Tiger Emperor's eyes gleamed.
Contending against a sixth stage with a fifth stage, the Dao of Life and Death was indeed powerful.
The next moment... the Tiger Emperor rose.
His massive body moved casually, tearing through the Chaos and causing it to ripple violently.
His command reached the Tiger Realm: "All Emperor Lords, go forth and conquer the Realm of Life and Death."
"Roar."
"Roar."
"Roar."
Earth-shattering roars echoed through the heavens and earth.
The Tiger Realm was filled with tigers of all kinds, all emerging.
After all, it was a sixth-stage Great World, and a spatial one at that.
The Tiger Realm had over thirty Emperor Lords, and Heavenly Emperors... excluding the Tiger Emperor, there were more than ten.
And the greatest foundation of the Tiger Realm was that besides the Tiger Emperor, the sixth-stage Realm Master, there was also a sixth-stage Heavenly Emperor.
Pressure cascaded towards them.
"My children, kill..." the Tiger Emperor ordered.
"Roar."
The fierce tigers attacked.
Led by the Tiger Emperor Realm Master, they also charged out.
"Repel the enemy."
Chen Fan's expression was extremely grim.
Compared to the Tiger Realm, the foundation of the Realm of Life and Death was far too shallow.
But the battle was imminent, and there was no room for retreat.
They could only fight.
"The Tiger Emperor is mine," Chen Fan said, his face solemn.
A Realm Master contained the Dao Universe within. Only a Realm Master could contend against a Realm Master.
The Immortal Emperor strode forward: "I will hold off the other sixth-stage Heavenly Emperor."
The two strongest individuals of the Realm of Life and Death stepped forward without hesitation.
As for the others, they were beyond their ability to intercept.
"Kill."
The great battle immediately commenced.
*Boom.*
Powerful auras collided.
At the very first contact, the Realm of Life and Death fell into a disadvantage.
There was no alternative. The number of Emperor realm experts in the Realm of Life and Death was far too few.
And mid-tier Heavenly Emperors were even scarcer.
They were outmatched but could not retreat.
If they retreated, the Realm of Life and Death would surely be destroyed.
"Thousand Dao Sword."
Chen Fan unleashed his strongest sword technique from the outset.
The River of Life and Death was integrated into the Heavenly Cloud Sword, and with a single strike, he split heaven and earth.
*Shick.*
The Tiger Emperor's Grand Dao of Space was directly cleaved by this sword strike.
"Not bad."
The Tiger Emperor still had the leisure to comment.
The next moment, his figure vanished...
Spatial jump.
Behind Chen Fan, the Tiger Emperor reappeared. His tiger claws tore through the Chaos and slammed towards the back of Chen Fan's head.
It was too fast to dodge.
This was the insidious and powerful nature of the Grand Dao of Space.
"Come out."
Chen Fan, who was fighting with all his might, directly summoned the Golden Silk Cicada Robe.
*Clang.*
The tiger claw struck the Golden Silk Cicada Robe, causing it to dent.
Immense cutting force penetrated the robe and entered Chen Fan's body.
His internal organs were immediately riddled with holes.
"So strong."
Was this a sixth-stage Heavenly Emperor who practiced the Grand Dao of Space?
He couldn't win.
However, he was the Heavenly Emperor of Life and Death.
A fifth-stage Heavenly Emperor of Life and Death, the Dao of the Two Extremes.
Was he weak?
He was not weak.
He had the power to fight.
"Suppress."
The 'Suppress' character Dao, learned from Wuji.
The Chaos seemed to stop flowing, suppressed by this single character.
"Heavenly Crown."
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Crown's aerial suspension ability activated: "Kill..."
Thousand Dao Sword, another strike.
*Boom.*
The domain of the Grand Dao of Space was violently torn apart by this sword strike.
The sword light was like the dawn breaking through the heavens and earth, illuminating the Chaos and striking the Tiger Emperor.
Life and Death erupted.
"Ah..."
The Tiger Emperor screamed.
This sword strike had severed his spatial defenses, and the sword qi entered his body. The rhyme of the Thousand Dao Sword exploded, wantonly destroying everything within him.
