Chapter 1255: Chapter 537: Facing the Heavenly Emperor! _4 Chapter 1255: Chapter 537: Facing the Heavenly Emperor! _4 With his earlier merger of spirit and flesh, this unusual disturbance had therefore been stirred within his body.

But in the next moment.

As his thoughts flowed, this disturbance was instantly smoothed out, and an almost imperceptible shard of light and shadow was sliced from within his body.

“This is impossible!” The Heavenly Emperor’s expression changed again, “How could you possibly break free from my control!”

“Nothing is impossible!” Jiang Yuan said indifferently, his expression as calm as ever.

However, at this moment, his heart was not as calm as his appearance suggested, but instead he felt a sense of relief.

Because just now it had been truly dangerous.

He had completely failed to detect that the Heavenly Emperor had left a contingency within the stripped True Spirit Mark.

And the reason he escaped the influence of this contingency was related to him being an Original Life Form.

After becoming an Original Life Form, his essence had changed.

And thus, he had been spared from the influence of the Heavenly Emperor’s contingency.

It was precisely this realization that filled Jiang Yuan with a sense of relief.

Afterward, he no longer hesitated.

Such an existence could not be given any chance for a final counterattack.

Boom–
As Jiang Yuan made his move.

His palm opened and transformed into a world of its own, a smelting furnace.

Time and Space became disordered in his grasp, Heaven and Earth reversed within his hands.

The strong physical body turned into an indestructible cage.

“This is impossible!!!” The Heavenly Emperor’s spiritual body cried out again.

“Nothing is impossible! It’s all because you were too arrogant!” Jiang Yuan said lightly.

As he clenched his fingers, the world in the Heavenly Emperor’s eyes instantly darkened, the light receded, darkness enveloped Heaven and Earth, and the sky officially turned black.

At this moment, his eyes revealed endless regret.

Just as Jiang Yuan had said, he too realized he had been too arrogant.

He had come only as a spiritual body, a spiritual body shaped from his primordial spirit.

As a result, he was utterly powerless to fight back against Jiang Yuan at this moment.

If he had not been careless and allowed his primordial spirit to return to his physical body, even if his body had not yet reached its strongest form, nourished by All Spirits, surpassing its former peak, he would not have failed like this.

If he had been able to merge, he was confident he could have defeated Jiang Yuan head-on.

Thinking of this, he was filled with even more regret.

A moment’s negligence led to the collapse of years of meticulous planning.

In that instant, his heart was completely filled with regret.

At this moment.

Jiang Yuan’s fingers closed, and his palm instantly turned into a smelting furnace, an indestructible furnace.

Within the furnace was the Heavenly Emperor’s spiritual body.

Wang Xuan, who stood by, was completely shocked and incredulous upon witnessing this scene.

“This… this… this…”

Wang Xuan stammered as he began to speak.

He had never imagined that upon Jiang Yuan’s arrival, he would suppress the Heavenly Emperor with a mere raise of his hand, that Heavenly Emperor who was considered invincible across all ages and realms.

In the next moment.

He felt an astonishing aura burst forth from within Jiang Yuan’s palm.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan swallowed nervously.

“My lord, are you going to…”

Jiang Yuan said, “Eradicate everything about him, to prevent him from turning the tables from despair.”

“This… this…” Wang Xuan stammered again, his face full of disbelief.

Just then.

“No, you cannot kill me!” A voice came from within Jiang Yuan’s palm, “If you kill me, the dam upstream of the Time River will collapse, and the breach will widen, leading to powerful enemies descending upon us, they will surely seize the opportunity to enter this realm, and then Heaven and Earth will be extinguished, All Spirits will return to void, and there will no longer be any signs of life.”

Upon hearing these words, Wang Xuan’s eyes widened in shock.

Having witnessed the battle upstream of the Time River, he was very aware of the nature of “they” mentioned by the Heavenly Emperor.

They were beings that invoked despair.

In this realm, throughout ancient and modern times, there has only been one Heavenly Emperor, a figure comparable to those of Half-step Transcendence.

But in that vast world upstream on the main channel of the Time River,
Although Half-step Transcenders weren’t as numerous as the stars, they were still too many to count.

They were unstoppable enemies.

No matter how strong you are, no matter how peerless,
In this Time River, you could only be their equal at most, a fellow Half-step Transcender.

Beings of this level were all prodigies.

That the Heavenly Emperor managed to fight against three of them back then was already an incredible feat.

However, in that world, even fighting ten at once would be futile, and in the end, one would be overwhelmed.

This is the greatest despair.
