Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1659 - 449: Pacifying the Great Catastrophe

The myriad worlds across the heavens.

In less than half an hour, more than half of the forces of the Eternal Imperial Court had perished or been gravely injured, while the remaining strong ones were pushed to their very limits. Even the twelve Supreme Beings were all bloodied.

All of this was simply because the power of the Netherworld legions had grown far too quickly, while the rules governing the multiverse had been altered, swiftly weakening their strength.

Yet, even so, despite the heavy sorrow in their hearts, not a single member of the Eternal Imperial Court forces chose to give up; each fought with all their might against the Netherworld legions.

"Kill!"

"Even in death, we must bite off a piece of their flesh!"

"Fight to the death against these monstrous demons!"

"What is there to fear in dying!"

The army roared, their battle cries resounding across the heavens and earth. Every cultivator of the Eternal Imperial Court bore countless injuries and bloodshed upon their bodies. Even those gravely wounded fought on, sacrificing all without hesitation.

"Useless, futile!"

Among the fifteen Demon Sovereigns of the Netherworld, Yu Huang—their leader—uttered these cold and unfeeling words.

Several of the Demon Sovereigns looked upon the forces of the Eternal Imperial Court with mocking gazes, their demeanor practically announcing their confidence in victory.

At this moment, the expressions of Bi Yu and others shifted from the earlier urgency to a calm resolve; all twelve Supreme Beings shared this sentiment.

Just like the words spoken by the cultivators of the Eternal Imperial Court—what does it matter if we die?

In truth, they had long prepared themselves for such an outcome before the battle even began.

"It’s about time. The Primordial Ancestor is about to finish merging completely. Let’s send these people on their way," Yu Huang declared, his pitch-black hand descending to cover the whole universe, his strength now incomparably mighty!

Once, Bi Yu alone had been able to suppress Yu Huang in battle, but that was no longer the case. Now, Yu Huang alone could contend against the combined forces of four Supreme Beings from the Eternal Imperial Court!

With an earth-shattering roar, all fifteen Demon Sovereigns launched their attack, hurling the twelve Supreme Beings of the Eternal Imperial Court into the void. Several coughed blood relentlessly.

Slash!

In that moment, Gu Qingyan let out a fierce cry, her ice-blue divine sword slicing through the vast cosmos and releasing an unimaginably sharp white light, attempting to freeze everything in its path.

"Hmph!"

Yu Huang snorted coldly, his twelve wings unfurling behind him, covered in endless black Supreme chains capable of piercing the heavens.

Gu Qingyan let out a muffled groan as fresh blood spurted from her delicate form. Upon seeing this, Bi Yu’s expression tightened as he hurried to block the attack, which left him even more gravely injured.

Everyone knew that this could not continue; the enemy’s strength was overwhelming, leaving them almost powerless to resist.

"What are you all still waiting for? The battle on the Primordial Ancestor’s side is already nearing its conclusion!" Yu Huang’s cold voice rang out.

Gu Qingyan and the others froze upon hearing this and quickly sensed it—Gu Chen’s aura had vanished!

The expressions of each and every one of them changed drastically!

At Yu Huang’s words, an overwhelming sorrow surged within the hearts of all those on the Eternal Imperial Court’s side, spreading an oppressive sense of despair.

"Is this the end?"

"Even the Lord of the Imperial Court has fallen? How could this happen?"

"Is there truly no hope across the myriad worlds? Is the Epoch Tribulation an unbreakable curse?"

The cultivators of the Eternal Imperial Court, who had initially retained some strength to fight back, lost the last glimmer of hope in their hearts upon realizing Gu Chen’s aura had disappeared.

In an instant, another tenth of the Eternal Imperial Court’s cultivators met their tragic demise, swallowed by billions of dark demons!

But it was then that Bi Yu, bloodied from head to toe, roared fiercely, "Do not be disheartened! The Lord of the Imperial Court will not be defeated! Do not let yourselves be deceived by these Demon Sovereigns before you! Have you forgotten the miracles our Lord of the Imperial Court has created?"

Due to the alteration of the multiverse’s Dao principles, Bi Yu had fallen into an unprecedented state of weakness, his strength deteriorating immensely.

Yet even so, he dared to face any enemy directly. At this critical moment, he stood forward and reignited the wavering spirits of the others.

Even the Supreme Beings, whose faces had previously dimmed with despair, now one by one rekindled the light in their eyes.

Indeed, the great deeds of Gu Chen, the Lord of the Imperial Court, were legendary throughout heaven and earth, known to all. Just as Bi Yu said, the miracles—or divine wonders—he had wrought were too numerous to count. No one believed this unparalleled figure would succumb to defeat!

In an instant, the forces of the Eternal Imperial Court surged with renewed morale and fighting spirit, desperately resisting once more.

Yu Huang’s face darkened suddenly, his gaze turning chillingly cold.

Earlier, his words had been laced with the power of the Netherworld, enough to manipulate the emotions of every cultivator on the Eternal Imperial Court’s side. Yet to his dismay, Bi Yu’s single roar had shattered his influence entirely.

"In that case, you shall be the first to die!" Yu Huang bellowed, directing all his attacks toward Bi Yu.

Not only that, the other fourteen Demon Sovereigns joined in, sending Supreme chains of darkness hurtling down toward Bi Yu. In his current weakened state, Bi Yu had no means of defense and was on the brink of obliteration!

"No!"

Gu Qingyan, Wu Tian, and Xia Huang cried out in alarm, their faces reflecting deep shock as they scrambled to intervene.

However, in their present condition, none of them stood a chance against the Demon Sovereigns of the Netherworld. The disparity in power rendered the forces of the Eternal Imperial Court dangerously frail, and Bi Yu was moments away from being slain!

Yet it was at this precise moment that an angry voice thundered forth: "We were once cultivators of the Heavenly Court, committing unforgivable sins against the myriad worlds. Thanks to the Lord of the Imperial Court’s immense grace, we were spared and allowed to linger till now. Today, I shall sacrifice myself to repay the debt of our wrongdoings!"
