Chapter 1584: Killing the Void Emperor!

Chapter 1584: Kill the Emperor of Void!

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Void felt his heart sink.

This creature... had truly discovered Him long ago!

A furious blaze erupted within His mind!

He recalled the scene just now.

A mere Third-Rank Supreme God—how dare he have known His existence so long ago and still dare to sit upon His head like that?

Did he not know how to write the word "death"?

At this very moment,

A terrifying, unbridled desire for vengeance surged toward the Emperor of the Celestial Realm.

"You... dare greatly."

The Void Emperor's voice was deep, resonant, and carried an unmistakable fury.

Anyone could hear the rage simmering beneath those words.

"Too timid, and you'll never get away with it."

Zhou Shixi shook his head, sighing softly. "A being capable of turning me to ash in a single blink stands right beside me. If I don't show more courage, if I don't pretend to be braver than I truly am, how could you possibly believe I didn't notice your presence, Master?"

"Of course, there's a gamble involved."

A faint smile curled at the corner of Zhou Shixi's lips. "But I seem to have won it."

After hearing this, the Void Emperor remained silent.

Yet within His heart, the fury surged, building like a storm in a still sea.

How dare he?!

Not only had he brazenly confessed to playing a trick on Him—but his tone carried a hint of arrogance, of pride?!

Though this indeed warranted boasting, did He not know that provoking a mighty one's dignity carried grave consequences?

At that moment, Zhou Shizhi seemed to have grasped the thoughts swirling within the Void Emperor's mind, and murmured in astonishment:

"Allow me to venture a guess."

"Your prolonged hesitation in striking me—surely stems from some constraint, don't you think?"

"After being struck down by the Supreme Will, even if you did not truly die, your condition must be terribly compromised. That, perhaps, is the very root of the Void Emperor's patience toward me for so long."

"This shattered, crumbling throne—must be your sanctuary."

"You dare not emerge."

"Perhaps because emerging would bring misfortune."

"For instance, your body might not withstand the strain—this throne stabilizes your injuries. Should you appear, your condition would worsen, even leading to sudden death. Or again, this throne conceals your true abilities. As long as you remain hidden, all is well. But should you appear, the Supreme Will would immediately detect you—and likewise, face the risk of sudden demise..."

"Am I correct in my assumptions?"

Zhou Shizhi smiled gently and said.

The Void Emperor gazed at Zhou Shizhi's demeanor, speaking softly:

"Calmed under great peril, without a flicker of fear."

"A truly excellent successor has been chosen by the Supreme Will."

"Would you not rather follow me?"

"Our people, the Ultimate Void Clan, are masters at seeking and gathering the untended treasures scattered across the Ultimate Void Cosmos. Over eons of time, we have amassed countless priceless relics."

"Among these treasures lie masterpieces from the Realm of Supreme Will, artifacts of Will Transcendence, even relics of eternal and unshakable existence."

"I have even constructed a special Void Repository solely to house these endless treasures."

"If you follow me, I can make you my heir. From the riches within the Void Repository, you may choose freely—what would you have?"

The Void Emperor spoke with earnest sincerity.

"The conditions proposed by the elder are truly enticing."

"But merely that—forgive me, I cannot agree."

"After all—"

"The disciple also possesses a few precious treasures."

"Though not on par with the quality of the treasures from the Void Treasury as described by the elder."

"Yet, for me, these are more than sufficient."

"As for treasures from beyond the realm of will transcendence, or even those of eternal immortality—"

"Even if they came into my hands, I fear I could not command them. After all, I am but a Third-Grade Supreme God."

Zhou Shixi said.

He spoke the truth.

Though Zhou Wuyu was currently using the Reality Cube—a divine artifact of transcendent will—to disguise his identity on the other side,

the energy source powering that artifact had always been supplied by the Supreme Will itself. Zhou Wuyu merely channeled the power of the Supreme Will to operate it.

Thus, he felt no envy toward that artifact at all.

After all, even if it truly fell into his hands, he would still be unable to use it—no different from a useless relic.

Once, he had been capable of transcending ranks to wield the chaotic divine power of divine artifacts. But after his ascension to Supreme Deity, that ability had reached its absolute limit.

To command artifacts of transcendent will, he would need to draw upon his own willpower—but even then, he could only use them for brief moments. His willpower, at the late stage of willful transformation, simply couldn’t sustain prolonged use.

Let alone artifacts of will transcendence.

He couldn’t use them!

Truly, he couldn’t!

"Hmm?"

The Void Emperor spoke softly, "Then, would you not be interested in the fragments of the Mythic Seal of the Unreal in your hands?"

"Would you like to know its secret?"

"As long as you join my cause and help me find a body to possess, I will share this secret with you."

"I can tell you first."

"This secret concerns the ultimate apex of the Infinite Void Cosmos—the secret of the Eternal Immortal, the supreme being of the highest realm!"

The Void Emperor spoke with genuine sincerity.

Zhou Shiyu thought deeply for a moment, then said, "Then you must first tell me the general contents of this secret."

"Otherwise, with no proof, how can I know whether to trust you?"

The Void Emperor remained silent for a moment.

After a long while, He finally spoke:

"Good."

"I can tell you."

"But after you know this secret, you must find a body capable of being possessed."

"If you give me the fragment of the Hollow Prophecy you hold, I will reveal the exact contents of this secret to you—so that you and I may together witness the breathtaking vista at the very pinnacle."

"How?"

"Never think that once you know the secret, you'll flee and try to claim it alone."

"First,"

"One fragment of the Hollow Prophecy Seal rests in my hands. Your own fragment of the Hollow Prophecy Seal is insufficient to unlock this secret on its own."

"Second,"

"Even if you gather all the fragments of the Hollow Prophecy Seals, a single Tier-Three Supreme God alone cannot open this secret. You must have someone like me—a being whose will transcends the realm of limits—to unlock it and allow you and me to share it together."

"You are in need of me,"

the Void Emperor said.

"Then it makes sense."

"Such a rumor—capable of making a will beyond the bounds of transcendence bow so humbly to me—must indeed be tied to the immortals of the eternal unbroken realm."

Zhou Shixi flipped his right hand, and there, before him, the fragment of that fabled rumor—the Sacred Seal—rose into view, floating in the air before his palm.

"I knew it was no ordinary thing."

"Exactly as I suspected."

Zhou Shixi murmured to himself.

Yet within his heart, there was no overwhelming excitement or rapture.

Inheritance of the Eternal Unbroken Realm?

His current highest cultivation form—the Supreme Sacred Body of Immortality—is but a part of the inheritance of the Eternal Unfading Realm.

Should he one day become the sole Supreme Sovereign, he would securely claim the inheritance of the Eternal Unfading Realm held by the Supreme Will.

Thus, in Zhou Shiliu's eyes, the fragment of the mythical Sacred Seal—long regarded as the greatest secret by the Void Emperor—merely appears as ordinary, unremarkable.

No one is particularly surprised.

The Void Emperor also noticed the expression on Zhou Shiliu's face, and it was not the one he had anticipated.

A chill settled in his heart, a grim foreboding rising.

"If all else fails, I must take a risk."

"Though the Supreme Will may discover me, as long as I can snatch the fragment of the Mythical Seal from the body of the Celestial Sovereign before the Supreme Will manifests before me, and then vanish immediately—"

"I stand a chance of surviving and obtaining what I seek."

"As long as I escape the reach of the Supreme Cosmic Order and enter the Ultimate Void, no one but a master of the Eternal Unfading Realm could possibly catch me!"

The Void Emperor's eyes flickered with a cold, resolute glare.

For the sake of the eternal, unbroken lineage... I will go to any lengths!

He silently activated his willpower, weaving a circle of willful dominion around Zhou Shisi.

Once the domain of will was fully established, the Void Emperor's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.

With this domain of will in place, nothing short of a mortal Emperor would escape his grasp.

Not even a Supreme Willful Sovereign standing here could hope to flee.

Moreover, as he moved against the Emperor of Life, this domain of will would absorb and conceal the very traces of his action, delaying the arrival of the Supreme Will by as much as possible.

"Emperor of Life,"

"I ask you once more."

"Would you like to collaborate with me? Share the secrets hidden within the fragments of the Mythic Seal of the Delusion?"

"I must remind you once again—this secret pertains to the Realm of Eternal Immortality. If you miss this opportunity, when you later ascend to the Realm of Supreme Will or even transcend the Will itself, when you finally grasp the true value of the Eternal Immortality secret, you will regret it deeply."

The Voice of the Void Emperor spoke in a low, resonant tone.

"Of course, I understand."

"But…" Zhou Shiliu smiled faintly. "I simply cannot trust you."

Boom!

A terrifying surge of willpower erupted suddenly, sending a storm of willful winds that lifted Zhou Shiliu's hair. Yet this did not make him appear disheveled—on the contrary, it revealed a wild, dangerous beauty.

His eyes shone brightly, unafraid of anything before him, like a young hero facing a monstrous dragon for the first time, filled with laughter and no trace of fear.

"Your Grace, the Emperor of the Void."

"You've finally lost your patience."

"I thought you'd be patient with me, this junior disciple, for how long?"

"Actually, my heart has already begun to be amazed by the elder's patience."

Zhou Shiyu smiled calmly.

The Void Emperor stared at Zhou Shiyu's composed and unruffled demeanor, and something deep within him shifted—something utterly wrong.

That expression, that bearing—it could not be faked.

He seemed… truly prepared to face every trick and every tactic he had ever deployed.

Yet, a mere third-tier Supreme God—how could such confidence even exist?

He didn’t hide his doubts; he asked it outright.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyu said nothing.

And behind him, a terrifying voice erupted—so horrifying, so chilling, that the Void Emperor felt his spine tremble, a sound that would haunt his dreams forever.

"His confidence."

"Of course, it stems from me."

The words had barely finished echoing when a graceful yet imposing figure materialized behind Zhou Shiyu.

It was the Supreme Will!

"May I have the honor of addressing the Supreme Will, sir?"

Zhou Shiyu bowed respectfully with a smile.

The Supreme Will nodded slightly, chuckling:

"Good work."

"This fellow's Ultimate Void Great Escape ranks among the top three such techniques in the entire Ultimate Void Great Cosmos."

"After He used this escape technique and vanished, even I would have had difficulty locating Him for a moment."

"Thankfully you lured Him out."

"Otherwise, He might have truly escaped."

"This was my duty."

"And allowing the enemy to flee isn't in my nature."

Zhou Shixi smiled.

He had immediately alerted the Supreme Will the moment he sensed something was amiss.

As for the baseless legend of the Saint's Seal fragments?

What's more important than one's own life?

The Supreme Will nodded, satisfied.

He now found himself increasingly satisfied with this little one.

And the Void Emperor, left standing aside, felt a chilling coldness spread through his very being.

Now everything had become clear to him.

So all this time, the boy had been merely delaying time, waiting for the Supreme Will to arrive.

That explained why the boy had spoken so long and so foolishly.

The Void Emperor, having grasped the truth, gnashed his teeth in fury.

Yet, upon seeing the form of the Supreme Will, a deep, uncontainable fear surged within him.

"Run!"

"I must run!"

"I cannot simply surrender!"

"Ultimate Void Escape!!"

The Void Emperor once again burns ninety-nine percent of his own willpower, activating the Ultimate Void Escape in a desperate attempt to flee.

His heart bleeds.

The Ultimate Void Escape is inherently destructive to the user.

He had already used it once before—worsening his already severe injuries.

Now, in a final bid for survival, he has used it again. And he dare not even begin to wonder—if this escape is complete, whether he will still be alive.

Yet he cannot stop.

Otherwise—

He would die instantly!

'Dying at his own hands is better than dying at the hands of the Supreme Will.'

The Void Emperor gritted his teeth, preparing to flee.

But at that very moment,

The Supreme Will suddenly cast a cold gaze upon Him.

"The same trick will not let you escape a second time."

The Supreme Will spoke coldly.

With a single wave of his right hand, He saw the layers of the Ultimate Void shatter, revealing the Void Emperor fleeing through the Ultimate Void.

The Void Emperor had believed himself safe, escape secured—only to find himself confronted with this sight.

He was thunderstruck, shrieking in disbelief:

"Can you actually breach the Ultimate Void?!!??!!"

"Have you truly reached that realm?!!??!!"

His expression was utterly hopeless.

"Did I dare provoke such a being, and still survive to this day?"

"Ha... ha..."

The words had barely left his lips when he was crushed to death by the force of the Supreme Will.

Zhou Shiyu stared, mouth agape.

Now at last, he understood why the Void Emperor had fallen so swiftly.

Their powers were completely on a different scale altogether.

He glanced covertly at the Supreme Will.

There, having just completed this act, the Supreme Will looked calm and indifferent—nothing at all like a being who had just slain a master of transcendent consciousness. It was as if he had merely crushed an ant, a trivial thing.

"Lord of Supreme Will."

Zhou Shiyu could not help but ask: "Have you truly touched that realm?"

The Lord of Supreme Will nodded slightly, then shook his head.

"I only glimpsed it by chance."

"But saying I've touched it is not entirely accurate."

"If I had truly touched that realm, the Illusory Clan would have been impossible to invade my Supreme Cosmos."

He spoke it calmly.

Zhou Shiyu nodded, his jaw slack with astonishment.

Having merely glimpsed the power of the Eternal Immortality Realm—could he already overpower a Master of Will Transcendence?

Then, what must a true master of the Eternal Immortality Realm be like?

Zhou Shizhu never failed to feel a quiet yearning.
