It was indescribable, the surging emotions of all beings in the Immortal Domain at this moment.
That passion felt like it would burst through their veins, boiling over!
"The Great Emperor is undefeated, invincible for all eternity!"
Countless beings, whether young, middle-aged, or old.
Even toddlers, opened their mouths and babbled, "Great Emperor… invincible!"
This was the belief of all beings!
This was the hope of all beings!
"Are you just fighting a trapped beast?"
The Lord of the End's gaze was cold as he looked at Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, whose aura was surging and shaking the Nine Heavens at this moment.
This was Wu Zhong in his youth, Wu Zhong before he became weathered.
It was as if they had returned to the time before the West Queen Mother's demise.
Back then, there was light in Wu Zhong's eyes.
But after the West Queen Mother's demise, there was no longer a trace of light in Wu Zhong's eyes.
But now, for the sake of all beings, for the sake of all spirits.
His eyes once again burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling divine radiance!
Shaking heaven and earth!
Making ghosts and gods weep!
That was the light of hope for all beings!
"Dark Di, do you dare to fight!"
A mighty voice, containing unparalleled dominance, resounded throughout the universe, echoing through heaven and earth!
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, was going to fight the Lord of the End alone in a bloody battle!
"Hmph, what's wrong with granting you death!" The Lord of the End sneered.
How could he not see that Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, was at the end of his rope.
He was the last bit of a candle, burning desperately, which would only make him die faster.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, had no sorrow or joy in his eyes, nor any fear of death.
Only determination!
The determination to fight the Lord of the End for the common people!
"There is Reincarnation in the world, no beginning and no end!"
"My body cuts off Reincarnation, my life defies the heavens!"
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, held the Wu Zhong Bell, casting aside life and death!
Regardless of whether he lived or died, he would fight to the final chapter at this moment!
Boom!
Fierce Law boiled, and the power of myth surged forth from within Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor's body!
Billions of stars were willing to follow him!
The light of the sun and moon were willing to dim for him!
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, activated the Wu Zhong Bell to suppress, and with the first move, he forced the Lord of the End back.
The terrifying bell waves overturned the heavens, and Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, stomped down with a spirit that shook the heavens, intending to step on the Lord of the End's head!
"Seeking death, who dares to stand above this Seat!"
The Lord of the End also let out a long roar, raising his hand, and endless, surging Blood Sacrifice Power burst forth.
It transformed into a world-destroying crimson river, sweeping towards Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor!
An unprecedentedly terrifying Dragon-Tiger Battle erupted; they fought directly into the depths of Gui Xu, almost reaching the Gate to Immortality.
"Senior Wu Zhong…"
Jun Xiaoyao felt a mix of emotions, with a hint of melancholy, as he saw this scene.
He knew that Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, had truly cast aside life and death, no longer caring at all.
Or rather, from the moment the West Queen Mother fell for him.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, had actually already died.
The reason he could still live was because there was still great darkness and great terror in this world.
He needed to completely exhaust himself before he could rest assuredly go with the West Queen Mother.
It could actually be seen before that Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, was unwell.
Presumably, he had experienced something mysterious in the World Sea.
And now, after returning, Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, already had the will to die.
It was conceivable that if it weren't for dealing with the true mastermind, the Lord of the End.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, would probably have also fought Chang Sheng, the Emperor, in a bloody battle to completely eradicate this menace.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, and the Lord of the End fought until the Gui Xu Land boiled, and myriad Dao Order divine chains shattered.
Finally, Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, let out a long roar that pierced the Nine Heavens, and actually used the Wu Zhong Bell to directly force the Lord of the End back into the Gate to Immortality!
Rumble!
Within the Gate to Immortality, an unimaginable surge of fluctuations immediately emanated, as if a War God and a Demon God were fighting inside.
The mere aura that leaked out silently annihilated the Void Realm.
Everyone's heart tightened at this moment.
"It succeeded, Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, suppressed the Lord of the End into the Gate to Immortality, just like Desolate, the Emperor, did back then!"
"Did the Great Emperor succeed!"
Countless people were watching.
"Hmm?"
Chang Sheng, the Emperor, frowned at this moment.
Although he knew that the Lord of the End's strength was extremely terrifying, even he was extremely wary.
But Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor's aura just now was too powerful.
If it were him, he might truly have been dragged to a mutual demise by Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor.
However, now, if the Lord of the End really had any problems.
Then wouldn't his lifelong dream of Immortal Ascension be for naught?
And just as Chang Sheng, the Emperor, was about to step forward to investigate.
Jun Xiaoyao, Kunlun Celestial Master, Dugu Sword God, Wu Hu, and others stepped forward.
Even if they had to fight to the death, they would not let Chang Sheng, the Emperor, interfere.
Chang Sheng, the Emperor's eyes subtly darkened.
His previous severe injuries had not yet recovered, and it was indeed not suitable for him to make a move at this moment.
He did not make any further movements.
"Lord of the End, if a dying Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, can drag you to a mutual demise, then you are indeed unworthy of the title of Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Chang Sheng, the Emperor, murmured in his heart.
Time flowed by, bit by bit.
Every moment, for everyone, felt as long as an epoch.
Waiting had never been so agonizing.
Within the Gate to Immortality, endless waves of aura leaked out, as if a world-destroying battle was taking place inside.
Who knew how long passed.
At a certain moment, the Gate to Immortality finally slowly returned to calm.
The fluctuations of the battle also slowly dissipated.
Heaven and earth were in a dead silence, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
"Is it over?"
An Immortal Domain Cultivator murmured.
The Gate to Immortality stopped vibrating.
Had the great battle within ended?
Everyone was waiting.
Everyone could hear the thumping of their own heartbeats.
And just then.
Buzzing…
A metallic sound rang out.
Then, under the gaze of billions upon billions of beings.
The Wu Zhong Bell, covered in cracks, flew out from the Gate to Immortality.
The Wu Zhong Bell's body was covered in cracks, and there were even many broken parts, only barely maintaining its bell shape.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
The sound of a bell rang out, but it was not loud; it was somewhat leaky, and sounded like a lament, as if someone was crying.
The Wu Zhong Bell cried.
At this moment, a thick sense of ominousness enveloped everyone's hearts.
Jun Xiaoyao's heart also sank.
At this moment, within the Gate to Immortality, light actually surged.
An incomparably mighty figure slowly emerged from within.
It was Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor!
"Great Emperor!"
Countless people showed surprise.
However, the next moment, Jun Xiaoyao and others' hearts sank heavily.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor's figure was incomparably ethereal, composed of individual points of light.
On his face, there was a hint of helplessness, a hint of bitterness, and at the same time, a hint of relief.
"Senior Wu Zhong…"
Jun Xiaoyao hesitated to speak.
"Great Emperor, what happened to the Great Emperor…"
All beings in the Immortal Domain felt their hearts clench, tremble, and sting like needle pricks at this moment!
Finally, Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, spoke.
"Actually, as early as when she died, I should have died too."
"But, I couldn't let go of this obsession for the common people."
"How can there be a perfect solution in the world, to not fail the common people and not fail you…"
"And now, I have done everything I could, my mission is over."
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, said this.
Beside him, an ice coffin appeared.
Inside, a peerless beauty lay quietly, utterly captivating.
Her countenance, within the ice coffin, was ageless and immortal, as if she were as she was when they first met.
Wu Zhong, the Great Emperor, this incomparably dominant man, now looked at the beautiful woman in the ice coffin with infinite affection in his eyes.
"Unable to be together in life, we shall be together forever in death."
"You… have waited long enough…"
