Chapter 1590: The Void Emperor

Upon a call for the mirror, the Void Mirror instantly trembled and hummed softly, then burst forth with brilliant light. It vibrated intensely, showing both excitement and sadness as it faced the "Void."

The ancient mirror clanged, its radiance illuminating the ages. This was the weapon of the Great Emperor Void, which had accompanied him throughout a lifetime of arduous campaigns. At this moment, it seemed to recall those eras of military life, bloody battles across the lands, and pacifying the realms.

It was responding to the "Void" in the distance, trembling continuously!

"Only one last step remains," Ji Haoyue said, covered in blood and with a touch of sadness. "Let me also merge into it – my blood, my bones, my soul – to awaken our ancestor, Void!"

He cast one last glance at this world, preparing for the blood sacrifice. He had come bearing the hopes of his entire clan!

At this moment, the immortal mirror was entirely crimson and bloody, having been doused with the blood of every single member of the Ji family. Every living person, from the dying sages to newborn infants, had offered their blood as a sacrifice to the immortal mirror.

And within his own body, the imprints of every individual were etched, merging with the blood and life fragments of the entire clan.

Ji Haoyue, representing all of the Ji family, was about to merge into the Emperor Mirror. The life of his ancestors flowed in his blood, intended to briefly "resurrect" the Great Emperor Void for one final battle.

"Father!"

At the distant edge of the world, a small boy with tear-filled eyes burst into loud sobs, reaching out his small hand, trying to grasp towards the depths of the dark cosmos. He was Ji Chengdao, and he knew his father would never return.

Ji Ziyue's face was also streaked with tears. She knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would never see her brother again. This parting might be forever.

"Let me go instead, in my brother's place!" Ji Ziyue cried out in anguish, wanting to rush forward, but she was held back forcefully and could not break free.

The entire Ji family was overwhelmed with grief. The Divine King, departing in this manner, would surely not return. He was undertaking a blood sacrifice with the absolute certainty of death, and would never be seen again.

Deep in the cosmos, Ji Haoyue's body trembled and he suddenly froze. He was seized by a powerful hand on his shoulder, then immobilized, unable to move.

The void cracked open. An ordinary, very unremarkable man appeared, taking his place.

"Little Ancestor, what are you doing?" Ji Haoyue exclaimed in alarm.

The newcomer was none other than Jizi! He stepped forward and took the Emperor Mirror. At that moment, blood instantly burst forth from his body and flowed into the ancient mirror.

"Go back. Little Chengdao is waiting for you," Jizi said, his Daoist robe stained with blood. He had drawn all the clan's blood and imprint fragments from Ji Haoyue, his face calm, without a ripple of emotion.

"Little Ancestor, you're..."

"Your path is still long, and I am not of this era to begin with," Jizi said calmly. "My joys and sorrows... everything belongs to the Primordial Era. I lived to this generation, perhaps just waiting for this moment."

He tore open a great void rift, pushed Ji Haoyue into it, banishing him and sending him to a designated coordinate, instantly far away.

"Little Ancestor!" The space closed, and the anguished cry ceased.

At this moment, as a call of "Fight with me!" came from the "Void" in the distance, Jizi merged with the Void Mirror, radiating endless auspicious light, and flew towards it.

Both the mirror and the man were crimson and covered in blood, yet they emitted the most dazzling light, illuminating the dark world.

Jizi stood facing the "Void," holding the ancient mirror. The two identical figures merged into one!

No one could stop them; only those of the Ji family bloodline could approach, because the immortal mirror was emitting a blinding light, making everything appear mysterious and astonishing.

"Void?!" Stone Emperor was shocked. Since his emergence, he had at most been moved, but this was the first time he displayed such an expression.

"You can think of it that way. Let's resume the battle from a past life!" The aura of the man opposite him suddenly intensified, and surging chaotic energy instantly swept across millions of miles.

He possessed an Emperor's body and held the Void Mirror. Stained crimson by the blood of the entire family flowing into his body, he then merged with Jizi, who was covered in blood. At this moment, he seemed to transform into a different being, actually manifesting Imperial Dao laws!

The Void Mirror was even more extraordinary, emitting countless streams of light and billions of immortal rays. Spreading out like a phoenix in nirvana, it illuminated the cosmos and directly pressed forward, striking towards Stone Emperor.

Stone Emperor, Lord of the Undying Mountain, wielded his great halberd and lunged forward, his body entwined with chains of divine order, like a demon god breaking out of hell, bearing shackles.

"Clang!" The two weapons collided. The Void Mirror was incomparably brilliant, and the great halberd also shot forth dark light. Stone Emperor's hands were completely split open, blood gushing out, and he himself continuously retreated.

"It truly possesses Imperial Dao laws!" His eyes were incomparably cold.

He knew this was certainly not the true Void, but merely the Void's blood and Dao contained within the entire Ji family that had been revived. In a sense, all living beings are a continuation of their ancestors' lives.

"Kill!" The Lord of Reincarnation rushed over. He certainly didn't want Void to truly reappear. Back then, Void alone blocked the Sea of Reincarnation, slaying Supremes, which created a blood feud with the Sea of Reincarnation.

"Clang!" The Void Mirror shone, emitting a ray of immortal light that neutralized the Lord of Reincarnation's attack and dispersed all Imperial Dao laws. This result astonished everyone.

"As expected of an immortal mirror that has drunk the blood of various Supremes, its power is indeed unparalleled!" Stone Emperor said indifferently, waving his hand to signal the Lord of Reincarnation not to interfere, as he intended to fight the "Void" alone and settle their past grievances.

At this moment, the Demonic Pestle, the Great Emperor Sword, and the other Imperial Weapons all retreated, going to attack the other Supremes, greatly increasing their pressure.

"Kill!" Stone Emperor roared, his dense hair flying. Like an unparalleled god or demon, he shattered the cosmos with a single step, charging towards the "Void."

"Boom!" He wielded his great halberd, crushing everything. Numerous stars exploded, unable to withstand the pressure, as he aimed directly at the "Void"'s head, intending to cleave it in two.

"Swish!" The ancient mirror glowed, ascending like a blazing sun. Its fierce flames fixed the bright halberd blade in place between heaven and earth, preventing it from falling.

"Good!" Stone Emperor roared, saying, "You are not him, but you have temporarily resurrected him, bearing his life imprint and fragments of his Great Dao."

All the Supremes were astonished by this remark and then fell into contemplation. This was worth pondering; perhaps a thorough study could reveal another method of achieving immortality!

"Boom!" As Stone Emperor roared, his entire body burst into radiant light, his blood energy piercing the sky and shaking all directions. Chains of divine order shot forth like phoenix feathers, aiming to pierce the "Void."

However, the ancient mirror vibrated, merging with the Void's blood energy, and at this moment, it unleashed monstrous divine power. Its mirror surface, smooth as jade, emitted dazzling light, deflecting all the law-based attacks back exactly as they came.

This was a sound like the collapse of heaven. Stone Emperor staggered, his entire body recoiling like a demonic mountain, causing the star domain to collapse and tremble incessantly.

"Kill!" The "Void" uttered a killing sound for the first time, shaking all directions. All living beings seemed to sense it, and boundless thought power surged, converging upon him, causing the previously dim Imperial Dao laws to suddenly glow.

The incomplete fragments of the Imperial Dao seemed to crystallize and complete themselves. This was a strange transformation that truly astonished the various Supremes.

"Such nourishment... the power of sentient beings is truly unfathomable and worth pondering!" An ancient Supreme mused, feeling he had gained much insight.

"Boom!" The "Void" launched an active attack, nine-colored light blooming before him. That was the Void Flower unfolding; space solidified, and even time came to a standstill, sealed by him. This supreme forbidden secret art was part of the ultimate secret scrolls.

And now, it reappeared!

This was the supreme ultimate skill with which the Great Emperor Void had suppressed chaos in the past, having slain more than one Supreme with it.

"Void halted. Time halted, suppressing eternity..." In the distance, even those not in the immediate battlefield showed expressions of shock, almost affected by it.

Stone Emperor found it difficult to move, his body stiff. His primordial spirit struggled to break free, and his body convulsed from overexertion. Yet, he still could not escape the restraint.

"Boom!" The "Void" made a move, slicing forward with a palm. A galaxy instantly turned to smoke, as his palm struck towards Stone Emperor's head!

At the same time, the Emperor Mirror became even more dazzling, descending with the blood of the Ji family, suppressing Stone Emperor's primordial spirit, aiming to slay him in one fell swoop.

"Ah..." Stone Emperor roared. As the palm approached, his body suddenly moved, his eyes so cold they sent shivers down one's spine. He grinned cruelly, swung his great halberd, and said, "What a pity. You are ultimately not him. You cannot excite me enough!"

This was a terrifying collision; the sky collapsed, and stars fell. This star domain instantly darkened, boundless in its horror.

The "Void" met the challenge, retaliating with a great hand seal, and the Emperor Mirror became even more incandescent, pressing forward and striking the Sky Desolation Halberd's blade, causing the great halberd to wail incessantly.

Blood splattered, and both the "Void" and Stone Emperor were sent flying sideways.

They both possessed Emperor's bodies, yet under such power, they were both impacted. Relatively speaking, that was ultimately not the former "Void," and it suffered heavy injuries. Stone Emperor also spat out a large mouthful of blood.

As for the Imperial Weapons' struggle and fierce battle, it was also intense. Such a collision might destroy one of them.

Clearly, the immortal mirror was stronger, its light blazing, while the Sky Desolation Halberd was significantly dimmer, with a chip in its blade and several cracks, having suffered heavy damage.

Stone Emperor fought the "Void," pushing the battle directly into the depths of the cosmos!

"Even if it's not the true Void, it now possesses his Imperial Dao laws, which makes me anticipate and rejoice!" The Lord of Reincarnation said cruelly, following them, intending to drink the Void's blood.

The Imperial Weapons, however, vibrated and suppressed him. The battle continued, and the range of its fluctuations grew wider and wider.

The heavens trembled, the stars exploded, and the world wailed. Everything seemed to be reaching its end, with all things coming to a conclusion.

Stone Emperor and the "Void" fought to a fever pitch. The Lord of Undying Mountain could hardly believe it, saying, "Perhaps we were all wrong. The true Void seems to have returned!"

Because that "Void" was actually growing stronger and stronger, much harder to deal with than before. Especially that gaze was too familiar; one must know that it was the eye of the mind, representing the light of a person's soul!

"Kill!" Stone Emperor roared, fighting with all his might. He considered himself the greatest in the world, invincible through all ages. Even if the true Void appeared, he would be fearless.

"Oh? Has Void returned? I'd very much like to witness it!" The Lord of Reincarnation arrived. This time, ignoring Stone Emperor, he directly attacked, shattering the firmament.

"Boom!" The Void Mirror trembled, spewing forth a swath of eternal light. A massive ancient formation appeared, directly falling out and engulfing the Lord of Reincarnation.

"Boom!" Endless light burst forth, boundless energy surged, dazzlingly brilliant. This was a killing formation laid down by the Great Emperor Void countless ages ago, which had surprisingly remained until now, making its first appearance!

Furthermore, at this moment, the "Void" abandoned Stone Emperor and plunged directly into the formation, wielding the immortal mirror to battle the Lord of Reincarnation.

"Ah..." The Lord of Reincarnation shrieked, letting out an enraged roar. A bloody arm was severed, flying out of the formation, and then exploded.

"Void!" Then, another furious roar, accompanied by heaven-shattering fluctuations. The Lord of Reincarnation was confined by the great formation. With the formation patterns and Imperial Weapons working together, coupled with the Void Emperor's body attacking, a large part of his chest armor was shattered, and then his chest was crushed by the Void's Imperial fist and Imperial Mirror, with blood and several bones flying out of the formation.

An Emperor-level formation trapping a Supreme, an Imperial Weapon slaying. Had the true Great Emperor Void truly returned? To slay a Supreme—everyone's heart pounded!

"We pray to the heavens, may our lives extend the life of the Great Emperor Void!"

"This world needs the Great Emperor Void; let him fight for his people once more..."

In countless star domains, an unknown number of people were praying. The thought power of all living beings surged and converged. All beings were chanting the name of the Great Emperor Void.
