Yi Fu's appearance temporarily resolved Chen Fan's crisis.
Fifth tier, an unreachable chasm.
Yi Fu's face was solemn. "Let's join forces."
"Good."
Chen Fan nodded.
Yi Fu's arrival proved that Wu Ji had also arrived.
Chen Fan's perception spanned across all battlefields.
The Yellow Emperor's inaction from beginning to end indicated that someone was deterring him.
Besides Wu Ji, Chen Fan could think of no one else.
"Is there hope?" Chen Fan's expression was grave.
"Yes."
Yi Fu, though his expression was grim, gave Chen Fan a definite answer.
How would they know if they didn't try?
"City Lord Yi Fu."
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly asked, "You were only a Half-Emperor back then, yet you were called the sixth person in the world?"
"Underestimating me?"
Yi Fu's eyebrows slightly rose. "Though I was a Half-Emperor then, with the Heavenly Crown's empowerment, no one below a Heavenly Emperor was my match. Don't forget who the original owner of the Heavenly Crown was."
Such confidence.
"Alright."
Chen Fan nodded.
So, besides the Amaterasu Sword, other divine artifacts should also be put to use.
Battling the Heavenly Emperor, a fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor.
"Attack."
Chen Fan shouted.
"Boom."
Instantly, the Amaterasu Sword unleashed a sky-shattering sword energy.
The River of Life and Death pierced through heaven and earth, cleaved by a single strike from the Amaterasu Sword.
The firmament shattered.
Yi Fu also made his move.
He unleashed his strongest killing move, the Imperial Palace appearing and transforming into a cage.
The world itself seemed to freeze at this moment.
Ice seal.
A world of ice, spanning three thousand miles.
Everything fell into a state of stagnation.
This was Yi Fu's Dao.
Frost spread, covering the White Emperor, his figure instantly turning into an ice sculpture.
"Useless."
A voice emanated from within the ice sculpture.
Crack.
The next moment, the ice sculpture exploded.
A third-tier ice seal was ineffective against a fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor.
He spoke softly, "Without reaching the Heavenly Emperor realm, one will never know the power of a Heavenly Emperor. This sword... will strike you..."
Clang.
The White Emperor drew his sword.
With one sword strike, the ice seal was broken.
With cracking sounds, the ice world collapsed.
"Gah."
Yi Fu spat out a mouthful of blood, which turned into ice shards scattering on the ground.
Cracks instantly appeared in the Great Dao within his body.
This was the might of a Heavenly Emperor, the power of the foremost attacker in the Immortal Realm.
"Chii."
The sword energy that shattered the ice seal did not dissipate.
After breaking the ice world, it once again shattered the River of Life and Death.
Chii.
The sword energy landed on Chen Fan's brow.
It was unavoidable.
The sword energy illuminated Chen Fan's extremely solemn pupils.
Hum.
The Heavenly Crown hovered. "Immobilize..."
The sword energy stopped, just an inch away from piercing Chen Fan's brow.
"Teleport."
Swish.
Chen Fan's figure vanished from his original position.
In an instant...
"Boom."
As soon as he left, the sword energy struck.
The sword energy dragon shattered space, and beneath it, everything was annihilated.
"Huh?"
The White Emperor let out a soft "huh?" "The power of a divine artifact?"
He was familiar with that Heavenly Crown; it originally belonged to Wu Ji.
He knew this kind of power, which was why he was surprised. Wu Ji had not used this power when wielding the Heavenly Crown back then.
"Ice seal."
Yi Fu attacked again.
This time, he appeared above the White Emperor's head.
"Kill."
An ice battle spear, hundreds of feet long, appeared and, with a 'boom', stabbed towards the White Emperor's head.
"Kill."
Chen Fan also attacked.
Drip.
The Dragon Pattern Compass spun frantically, then stopped.
The weakness had been found.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Sword of Life and Death was drawn again.
The two joined forces, attacking from front and back.
The White Emperor, however, remained calm, his eyes showing no sign of panic.
Clang.
The next moment, the dragon's roar of swords echoed through heaven and earth.
Two battle swords appeared, blocking the ice spear from above and the Sword of Life and Death from behind.
Clang.
A loud collision reverberated throughout the entire Western Continent.
All who heard the sound coughed up blood.
This sound, only an Emperor Venerable could withstand.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Chen Fan entered a state of berserk.
The power of the Imperial Palace surged into his body.
The power that permeated life and death, like a surging great river, under the lead of Life and Death, crashed towards the White Emperor.
"World Annihilation."
Yi Fu was also going all out.
To hold back when facing a fifth-tier Emperor Venerable would be suicidal.
...
The fierce battle was not confined to the Western Continent; it was also taking place in the Eastern Continent.
The battle between the Black Emperor and the Green Emperor could be described as a fight to the death.
Neither of them yielded an inch, and the surrounding hundred miles became a land of destruction. No one dared to approach.
An Immortal Root and a figure radiating bloody energy engaged in a fierce struggle.
The aura spread for a hundred thousand miles, shaking the very Dao.
Meanwhile, in the River of Origin, the Crimson Emperor was once again pursuing the will of the Immortal Realm.
As long as the White Emperor did not draw the Metal essence from the River of Origin, he would not act against him.
If he could capture the will of the Immortal Realm and devour it beforehand, the River of Origin would become his power, helping him to break through to the fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor realm in one fell swoop.
And the Yellow Emperor, still cautiously facing Wu Ji's back.
The two stood without fighting, waiting for the battle to end.
...
While the Immortal Realm was in turmoil.
Outside the Immortal Realm, in the boundless Chaos, two worlds were rapidly traversing the Chaos and heading towards the Immortal Realm.
One was filled with endless light.
The other was shrouded in darkness.
The two worlds, side by side, were rapidly advancing towards the Immortal Realm.
Within the world of darkness.
On the peak of an immortal mountain, in a simple and ancient grand hall, dozens of Emperor Venerables gathered.
Seated at the head was a supreme figure. His mere presence was like the origin of darkness itself.
"How much longer?" the figure on the throne asked.
Below, a third-tier Emperor Venerable stepped out from the ranks and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Realm Lord, in one more day, we will reach the Immortal Realm."
"Mm."
The Realm Lord nodded, then said, "This time, we must devour the Immortal Realm, no matter what, to help my Dark Realm advance further in the Middle Worlds."
Below, everyone echoed in unison, "The Dark Realm shall endure forever."
This was a middle-tier world in the Chaos.
The Chaos was boundless, with no discernible directions, only endless wandering.
The Lord of the Dark Realm was a sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor.
The top tier of a middle-tier world was sixth-tier. Only by breaking through to become a great world would the Realm Lord have a chance to ascend to a higher tier, the Great Emperor realm.
The Chaos held countless opportunities, but the greatest opportunity was to devour other worlds.
The fastest shortcut.
In the grand hall, silence fell. The last bit of light disappeared, and it was completely enveloped in darkness.
And in another part of the Immortal Realm, that world of light was also holding a meeting in its grand hall.
In the Great Yu Imperial Palace of the world of endless light.
Emperor Venerable Qian Zhen entered the grand hall, bowed, and said, "Reporting to Emperor Yu, we have found that world. In one more day, we will arrive."
At this moment, Emperor Yu was like the great sun.
"What kind of world is it?"
"A middle-tier world."
Qian Zhen continued, "I did not dare to get too close, but based on the aura perceived, it is certainly not as powerful as the Great Yu World."
"Very good."
Emperor Yu said, "After devouring another middle-tier world, the Great Yu World will have a chance to ascend to the great world tier, and I will have a chance at seventh-tier."
"Emperor Yu is mighty!"
"Accelerate the advance."
"Yes."
The two worlds, one Yin and one Yang, simultaneously accelerated their journey towards the Immortal Realm.
