Chapter 18:THE BATTLE OF TRUE IMMORTALS
Guang Zhao spoke gently yet firmly, his voice sounding like thunder.
"You can't take and do everything as you please."
He stared at them coldly.
In the next moment, his clones gathered all his clan members and the remaining beings of Wuji Xing. With a single thought, they were all teleported to Guang Zhao's planet—far beyond the Tempest Universe itself.
The Chi Clan members burst into laughter.
Chi Ji Han sneered, "Summon your allies now. Summon your trump card… or do you not even have one?"
More laughter followed.
Taike stepped forward, his eyes sharp.
"You brat… are you truly the only True Immortal here? Or is there someone above you on this planet?"
Guang Zhao remained silent.
Taike scoffed. "Hmph. Staying silent? Acting cool? Trash brat. Let's end this—we're in a hurry to wipe out this planet."
Inside his mind, Guang Zhao's expression softened.
"Wang Shi… I'm sorry. Back then, I was only a Quasi Immortal. I cultivated endlessly just to become strong enough to protect this planet… You were the real hero.
But now… I won't let history repeat itself.
Don't worry, your clan is already safe. I'm sorry… I couldn't save all the beings of Wuji Xing…
But I know… one day, we will meet again."
Taike interrupted sharply.
"Brat! What are you thinking about?"
Then he continued coldly, "I will erase this planet if you don't tell me where the remaining beings are. Answer me."
Guang Zhao finally spoke.
"If you want to fight… then let's fight."
Taike smirked. "Hmph."
At that moment, both of them unleashed their domains.
Taike summoned the Crimson Chaos Domain.
Guang Zhao summoned the Absolute Termination Domain.
The two domains collided and merged into a terrifying forbidden space—blood-red crimson mixed with obsidian lightning.
This battlefield existed completely outside the concept of time, reality, causality, and all laws of the Tempest Universe. Nothing inside it followed logic, existence, or dimensional structure. It was beyond everything that defined the universe itself.
Guang Zhao and Taike stood facing each other inside that impossible space.
Taike smirked.
"Young brat… this old man will go all out. Don't disappoint me."
He raised his hand—and the void of Guang Zhao's domain folded like paper.
Guang Zhao instantly repaired it.
Then Guang Zhao struck back, manipulating Taike's existence itself—turning him momentarily mortal to erase him.
Taike laughed.
"Good… you have potential."
"Law Glitch: Reversal."
Instantly, he returned to his true immortal state.
Then he unleashed gravity—multiplying it beyond infinite layers.
Guang Zhao couldn't move.
"Gravity… shatter."
The pressure exploded apart.
Taike looked at him with interest.
"Let me test your physical strength."
In an instant, he teleported forward.
Both of them used only almost one percent of their power.
Their fists collided.
BOOM!
The collision shattered the infinite domain space itself.
To Chi Po and the others, nothing seemed to move—but in truth, they had already exchanged countless strikes beyond perception.
Taike spoke calmly.
"I never thought a young brat could match me. I've wiped countless clans and erased countless worlds… this is truly enjoyable."
Guang Zhao remained silent.
Taike continued, "Brat, what about joining us?"
The Chi Clan members whispered.
"Are they even fighting?"
Chi Ji Han laughed. "They already fought."
"Yes," Chi Po said. "They fought without us even realizing it."
Suddenly, Guang Zhao vanished from sight.
He take Taike inside he's second-level domain.
Taike laughed.
Inside the domain, Guang Zhao unleashed absolute infinite gravity.
Taike coughed blood.
At the same moment, Guang Zhao began manipulating his existence, preparing to erase him completely.
Taike's expression changed slightly.
"Yongheng… you've been watching for too long. Will you still not move?"
A presence descended.
A True Immortal—Pseudo Stage>Fourth Stage.
Yongheng.
He spoke only one word:
"Stop."
Instantly, everything collapsed.
Guang Zhao's domain shattered.
His power fell beyond mortal level.
He collapsed, coughing blood, kneeling on the ground.
For a moment, it felt like he was trapped in a glitched void beyond time and existence—yet only seconds had passed.
Chi Po and the others watched in shock.
"The second battle is over," Chi Po said.
Chi Ji Han laughed. "Old man, you lost."
But Taike suddenly raised his voice.
"Silence!"
Everyone froze.
Taike looked at Guang Zhao.
"I am not the one who defeated him… it was my friend."
Chi Po replied, "Even without him, you still would've won."
Taike shook his head.
"No… this brat is the first who has ever truly defeated me."
Guang Zhao gave a faint smile.
In his fading mind, he whispered:
"Wang Shi… I will meet you again… I'm sorry… I failed…"
Then—
Guang Zhao vanished from existence.
Silence fell.
Taike looked at the sky.
"Thank you… my friend."
Chi Po and the others bowed. "Thank you, Elder Yongheng."
Taike turned away.
"Let's leave. There's no life left here."
Chi Po raised his hand and absorbed nearly all remaining Dao energy of the planet.
Taike smiled faintly.
"You're truly greedy."
He opened a void rift.
As they prepared to leave,Taike flicked his finger—
BOOM!
A shockwave destroyed 99.9% of the planet.
He didn't erase the planet completely but to Honor the first being who defeated him.
One by one, they stepped into the portal.
And disappeared.
