The End (1)
Himmel Soan was genuinely angry. He fought even harder, acting like a deranged man. He knew he was losing the battle because Extremity was halfway to becoming a celestial being.
Still, Extremity hadn’t risen beyond the Emperor stage yet and couldn’t kill him with a single strike. He had a chance.
Himmel Soan lost count of time. He might have been fighting for a hundred or ten thousand years.
All he could think of was to kill. He had to kill Extremity.
However, thinking was easy. At the Emperor stage, he had nearly inexhaustible spiritual energy, but the battle had lasted for so long that it was gradually drained.
He was getting weaker.
Although Extremity was going through the same process, he was doing much better than him. His capability helped him gain the upper hand every time they exchanged a blow. Gradually, Extremity had all the advantages.
“What makes you think you’re my match? I’ve prepared for this moment for so long that even the Heart of the Immortal World can’t defeat me!” Extremity yelled. The world finally couldn’t withstand their combined force anymore. It collapsed.
Instead of stopping, they went on fighting in the great void.
Around them were many spheres, each of which represented a world. Extremity’s world was just one of them.
That battle began to affect the other worlds as well. Despite the shield around them, the impact of the battle still disturbed them.
Meteorites fell from the sky, the ground cracked open, and tsunamis flooded the land. All disasters seemed to happen together. It was the situation in most of the worlds.
Ordinary creatures in those worlds didn’t know what had happened. Why were their worlds ending?
Himmel Soan could sense their despair. He sighed and used his spiritual essence to restore peace in those worlds.
“What an idiot! You’re wasting your spiritual energy!” Extremity laughed at Himmel Soan.
Himmel Soan was already losing. Wasting his spiritual essence would only quicken his death.
Extremity couldn’t care less about those creatures. They were only ants to him.
“As an Emperor, it’s my duty to protect those creatures, especially when they’re affected by our battle.”
Himmel Soan knew it wasn’t a wise choice, but he had to do it. Although these worlds weren’t his own, he couldn’t let all those innocent creatures die.
“All victories come at a price. To become a celestial being, all the sacrifices are necessary! You’re as stupid as that young man!” Extremity snorted.
He believed he would become the most capable being in this world. All those ants were at his mercy. He could destroy those worlds if he wanted.
He couldn’t understand why Himmel Soan helped those ants, nor did he want to. It was the most foolish behavior.
However, Extremity was glad to see him wasting his power.
Himmel Soan was already losing. With him spending his spiritual essence, he became even weaker.
The outcome of this battle was predictable. Still, the battle continued for another ten thousand years.
Himmel Soan reached his limit. His face was bloodless, and he had very little spiritual essence left.
The battle had lasted for so long that he felt numb. Countless creatures died during that time, but new lives were also created.
Ten thousand years was too long. Even the most stable dynasties had been replaced countless times.
The battle affected many worlds over and over again. Himmel Soan had lost count of the times he saved those worlds.
That only drained his spiritual essence faster. He was so tired that he could barely hold his sword.
It’s been so long. My people of the Soan empire are probably dead. How’s the Soan empire now?
Is Firey still waiting for me?
Has she…
Himmel Soan had to stop that train of thought. His mind felt numb after this long battle.
“Die!” Extremity bellowed.
There was a crazy look in his eyes. The battle had reached its end. Himmel Soan couldn’t resist him anymore.
In the end, Extremity was going to win.
“Watch this!” Extremity used nature as his weapon and struck down at Himmel Soan. He was going to destroy him for good.
“Is this the end?” Himmel Soan couldn’t hold the Emperor Sword anymore. Death was upon him; he couldn’t fight back.
“No!” A familiar voice brought some clarity to his thoughts.
Firey appeared in the void. She had reached the Quasi-Emperor stage while Himmel Soan was fighting.
She couldn’t wait any longer. She had already waited for too long. The other world hadn’t invaded the deserted world, but Himmel Soan hadn’t come back either.
Firey wanted to know the truth.
When she walked through the passageway left by the Emperor, she found the other world had turned into a deserted place. There was no life, and it made her very anxious.
Luckily, she sensed Himmel Soan’s energy and rushed into the void to find him.
She arrived just in time to see that fatal strike, so she rushed toward Himmel Soan, trying to shield him from the attack.
“Firey, no!” Himmel Soan screamed with the last bit of his strength,
He couldn’t have Firey here. In a battle between Emperors, a Quasi-Emperor would be killed right away.
However, Firey acted as if she couldn’t hear him. Even when she was thrown off her balance by the shockwave of the battle, she still regained her footing and kept moving toward Himmel Soan.
“Are you going to disobey me now?” Himmel Soan couldn’t protect Firey here even when he was at his best, let alone in his current state.
