Chapter 1599: Sealed Book

"Clang!"

Abandoned Heaven Sovereign also took a hit. A chaotic energy stream flew in, striking his weapon, causing him to stumble and shatter a patch of the starry sky as he was forced to retreat a great distance.

Reincarnation Sovereign, Light and Dark Sovereign, and Abandoned Heaven Sovereign all suffered heavy blows. Stone Emperor and the Lord of Godly Ruins both flinched, recognizing the immense power of such tactics.

"Wushi!" Reincarnation Sovereign roared, his face contorted in fury. That palm strike had been too ruthless and merciless, landing directly on him. The physical pain and suffering were nothing compared to the profound spiritual humiliation; it was an act of utter contempt and disgrace.

It was like a resounding slap squarely across his face, igniting a furious indignation within him. He was utterly unwilling to endure such disgrace!

With a furious roar, he transformed into a stream of light and shot forward, unleashing divine power that shook the ages, determined to destroy Ye Fan and the artifact.

Light and Dark Sovereign was also enraged; having been trampled upon, what dignity was left? In his right hand, a short divine staff, barely a foot long, appeared. Forged from Dao Tribulation Gold, it shone so brilliantly that it made the very galaxy dim. In his left hand, an ancient shield, entirely black and forged from black gold, manifested, appearing terrifyingly powerful, like a black hole.

"Kill!"

The light staff and dark shield crashed together, light and darkness singing in unison. The sound, like an ancient immortal scripture chanted by gods and demons, was deafening and reverberated throughout the universe.

One after another, chains of divine order flew up, all sparkling like stars, surging towards Ye Fan. These were Imperial Dao laws, transformed from the Light and Dark Immortal Scripture, displaying power capable of annihilating the mortal realm.

As the two great sovereigns attacked together, Ye Fan naturally felt waves of murderous intent assault him. Even with his powerful Sacred Body, his hairs stood on end—an instinctive reaction.

However, he was not afraid. The artifact in his hand clanged, sending out streams of divine principles. Then, a pair of fists shot out, shaking the starry sky with surging Imperial Dao laws, blocking the two great sovereigns.

"Boom!" It was like the roar of chaotic wind and thunder, so loud and with such fierce astral winds, as if a world was being opened. Many distant stars directly turned into dust, and large areas of the star field dimmed.

The Imperial Fist struck, generating astral winds so powerfully destructive that they truly lived up to the name of Emperor Wushi. It directly clashed with the two great sovereigns, forcing them back.

"A sealed book, as if Wushi himself has emerged!" Stone Emperor's expression was grim as he stared coldly ahead.

No true Emperor Wushi had descended; it was merely an immortal scripture held by Ye Fan. Yet, it automatically launched attacks, and the laws it emitted concretely manifested, appearing as if a real person had emerged.

It was a stone book. When it first appeared, it was immense, but now it was only about a foot long, ancient and rough. Yet, it was enveloped in chaotic energy and had already opened.

This was the Wushi Scripture! Ye Fan had seen it before and had been fortunate enough to learn a supreme divine art from it. He never expected it to appear and fly into his hand. Its exterior was ancient and crude, but its interior was an endless world, radiating immortal brilliance.

This was truly shocking; it turned out to be what Emperor Wushi had left behind. It not only recorded his knowledge but also sealed his Imperial Dao combat power, truly recreating it.

"My name carved on the Three Realms Stele, life and death written on the path of reincarnation, I grant you death!"

Reincarnation Sovereign's face was terrifyingly grim. He actually began chanting a curse. Sovereigns generally wouldn't do this in combat due to its complexity, but he solemnly recited it, solely to gain more powerful strength.

This was a strange divine power of principles, an embodiment of his will and the Great Dao. It surged from the top of his head, transforming into terrifying streaks of demonic light that shattered the starry sky.

With a soft hum, the demonic light manifested as clear, visible ancient characters, one after another. This curse-like light shot up, heading directly for Ye Fan, capable of slaying anything in its path.

At this moment, a Quasi-Emperor of an unknown race in the distance let out a cry. He had rushed from the depths of the star field for battle, but before he even got close, from a great distance away, his form and spirit directly exploded, dying an unnatural death.

What a pity, and what a tragedy! He was considered a hero, but he died in vain.

This demonstrated how terrifying Reincarnation Sovereign's law attack was; across the starry sky, from an infinite distance, it still reaped the life of such a powerful being.

Ye Fan naturally encountered a great crisis. All the golden and green hairs on his body stood on end—an ominous sign of the Grand Accomplishment Sacred Body.

However, he did not suffer a catastrophe. Dozens of drops of blood automatically flew out from the precious vase in his left hand and landed in the Wushi Scripture. This caused chaotic mist to rise, and with a clang, the Wushi Scripture turned to a new page!

Then, an Imperial Dao law flew out, transforming into a majestic divine statue. It seemed to have spanned eons of the universe, emerging from the very origin of creation.

With a single step, it let out a roar that shook the countless stars in the sky, causing them to fall like rain. The Great Dao wailed, rising and falling beneath its feet, and all principles trembled.

This divine statue, itself composed of runes, directly confronted the ancient characters unleashed by Reincarnation Sovereign, one by one. They first collided, and the resulting light impacted dozens of star fields, spreading throughout the universe.

Then came merciless annihilation. It crushed Reincarnation Sovereign's curse words, and one talisman after another exploded in the void.

Finally, the divine statue charged forward, letting out an earth-shattering roar: "Time's Passage!"

It almost pressed down on Reincarnation Sovereign. One could clearly see the River of Time surging, and Reincarnation Sovereign, under the erosion of time, tottered precariously, almost disintegrating.

This was the power of the River of Time!

His body almost weathered away, like a rock that had stood for ages. It finally could no longer hold on, on the verge of collapse, approaching the end of its life.

"Break!" Reincarnation Sovereign cried out. A surge of vital blood burst from the top of his head, cleansing his body. It scattered all the laws and the last faint shadow of the divine statue, allowing him to struggle out, staggering.

This time, he suffered another heavy loss!

This was astounding. It wasn't Wushi's return; it was merely a scripture, yet it could achieve such feats. It was inconceivable!

Without a doubt, every scripture inscribed in this ancient text could be unleashed through Imperial Blood. This was Emperor Wushi's prepared trump card.

Although Emperor Wushi was no longer able to attend to it, this immortal scripture was truly powerful, imbued with his power from when he was alive.

At this moment, Ye Fan realized. No wonder this stone scripture couldn't be opened in the past; it sealed Emperor Wushi's offensive techniques, and one couldn't casually flip through it, or they might directly be shaken into dust.

Although this result was astonishing, the ancient sovereigns naturally wouldn't flinch because of it and attacked together. However, Ye Fan was not alone; there were also numerous Imperial artifacts, along with the manifested powers of Void and Hengyu.

Abandoned Heaven Sovereign coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was restrained by Emperor Void and almost cleaved in half, but Stone Emperor's Heaven-Desolate Halberd descended, forcibly shattering the area and allowing him to break free.

At this point, the area plunged into chaotic battle. No one could underestimate Void and Hengyu; even if their Imperial Dao was incomplete and they weren't the emperors of old, they still exerted the same level of pressure.

The attacking power of the scripture in Ye Fan's hand was truly immense, making everyone wary. It preserved Emperor Wushi's laws from when he was alive, as if he himself were wielding them.

Even the ancient sovereigns were unwilling to fight recklessly. These were the terrifying divine principles of a peak Great Emperor, and Reincarnation Sovereign and Light and Dark Sovereign had already suffered heavy losses.

They did not know how Wushi had managed it. Every page of the scripture was an attack, truly inconceivable and puzzling.

It was certainly not as simple as being activated by Imperial Blood. That stone scripture must have been imprinted with Wushi's undying mark and contained a Dao fruit that transcended the mortal realm; otherwise, how could it be so?

"Whoosh!" The stone scripture continuously flipped, unleashing laws one after another. Ye Fan singled out one target, focusing all attacks on Reincarnation Sovereign, wanting to concentrate all his strength to kill him.

He knew that opportunities were truly limited. The blood in the precious vase in his left hand was rapidly depleting, as the fragments of the Great Dao contained in the Imperial Blood were the fundamental basis for driving the Wushi Scripture.

"Kill!" Ye Fan roared. Seeing the blood diminish rapidly, he couldn't help but feel anxious, preparing to strike at any cost, ready to launch the green bronze cauldron at any moment.

"Pfft!" Reincarnation Sovereign coughed up a mouthful of blood, enraged by humiliation. An ant dared to fight him relentlessly, unable to be instantly obliterated; today was filled with various disgraces for him.

But he really couldn't keep fighting, unable to break through the Wushi Scripture. This was power that had not undergone "self-severance"; although it had diminished over the ages, it still repeatedly sent him flying, nearly killing him on the spot.

Especially in the end, when the stone scripture flipped to a forbidden chapter, and Wushi's original secret art was unleashed, it reset everything belonging to Reincarnation Sovereign back to its origin, almost even stripping away part of his cultivation.

"What?" Everyone was stirred by this.

"You have enraged me!" Reincarnation Sovereign roared. His words were not directed at Ye Fan, but at the previous Void and now the Wushi Scripture, shaking mountains and rivers.

"Enraged? Then die!" Ye Fan shouted. The immortal principles shaken out by the Wushi Scripture in his hand became even more terrifying. The "Wushi" move, repeatedly unleashed, struck the charging Reincarnation Sovereign, making his entire body tremble and blood splash.

It even almost directly shattered his Celestial Platform. This was shocking; it was merely a scripture, yet the sealed laws were so formidable.

"Boom!" Void charged over, directly striking with heavy blows, also at any cost, intending to cut down Reincarnation Sovereign, even taking a halberd strike from Stone Emperor that left his back bloody.

"Ah..." Reincarnation Sovereign cried out, suffering severe wounds. The Void Immortal Mirror descended, directly irradiating him, causing his entire body to crack and almost explode.

At the same time, Emperor Void's palm chopped down, almost severing his head, which remained attached only by a layer of skin at his neck.

"Boom!" The Lord of Godly Ruins attacked, Light and Dark Sovereign followed closely, Hengyu came to the rescue, Stone Emperor blocked, and Abandoned Heaven Sovereign arrived.

This place was blown apart, completely boiling with chaos. Reincarnation Sovereign was at the very center of the attack wave, suffering unbearable injuries, and his head finally fell.

Emperor Void, expressionless, pushed a palm forward.

And Ye Fan did not stop, pressing forward. The Wushi Scripture in his hand emitted countless rays of light, showering down and sweeping across his body.

"No!" Reincarnation Sovereign roared, his head separated from his torso. Emperor Wushi's secret art and Emperor Void's hand descended together, terrifying him to his core. He was a sovereign, having lived for eons, invincible in the world, but at this moment, he tasted the breath of death.

Never before had he trembled like this. He had fought his way to the position of Imperial Dao Sovereign, never experiencing such despair, singing triumphantly as he contended for the Emperor's throne.

But today, he felt a great calamity approaching, that he was about to fall, unable to resist this secret art.

"You forced me to this!"

He let out a furious roar. His head glowed, erupting with earth-shattering pressure that shook the entire universe!

"A true Great Emperor has emerged!"

"Undergoing ultimate sublimation, preparing to reclaim the Imperial throne!"

All beings in the universe despaired, while the ancient sovereigns, with inexplicable expressions, all retreated. Ye Fan and Void bore the brunt, about to face the true resurrected Great Emperor.

That head glowed, emitting ten thousand auspicious rays, pulling its torso back. Reincarnation Sovereign disregarded the consequences, intending to return to his peak to kill his enemies, even if it meant his own death afterward.

"You cannot return!" Void spoke. Infinite chains of divine order flew from his body—his cultivation and vital essence! They scattered endless brilliance, forming a mysterious formation that pressed down, isolating heaven and earth, almost forcibly interrupting Reincarnation Sovereign.

"Boom!" At this very moment, Ye Fan struck, his eyes almost splitting from rage. He knew the consequences of Emperor Void's action—that he would be crippled and die afterward. He sprinkled the Wushi blood onto the green bronze cauldron, then directly smashed it out.

Emperor Void understood and also propelled a surge of power into the green bronze cauldron. This startled the sovereigns, causing them to rapidly retreat and abandon Reincarnation Sovereign.

"Boom!" The green bronze cauldron struck Reincarnation Sovereign's radiant head, which directly exploded!
