Chapter 609: The Fall

Cornered.

What does it mean to be cornered?

The Dark Origin God’s fleeing figure halted, staring ahead at the enormous Qing Long, whose massive eyes bore down on it with an air of authority.

At that moment, the Dark Origin God couldn’t help but take a small step back.

Just a tiny step.

The Primordial Dao Lord’s silhouette appeared behind it.

Neither spoke, as they suddenly charged forward.

The battle reignited.

Xuanwu’s speed slightly faltered, and the Dark Origin God, considering its last-ditch effort, sought to severely injure or preferably kill these two strongest Celestial Lords.

However, if this strike failed, it would genuinely have no opportunity left.

The Dark Origin God roared.

“Dark Worm Sky Split!”

Two massive black claw-like appendages, emanating intensely destructive energy, descended from the heavens.

The Primordial Dao Lord and Qing Long found themselves ensnared within the black claws, barely managing to break free.

“Die!”

The Dark Origin God shouted in fury.

The black claws squeezed frantically.

Qing Long and the Primordial Dao Lord defended themselves with all their might.

“Crack crack crack…”

Blood mist emanated from their bodies.

In that instant, the Dark Origin God felt a sudden wave of weakness wash over it.

An overwhelming sense of fatigue enveloped its being.

So tired…

Really, so tired…

As the claws loosened their grip slightly, both Qing Long and the Primordial Dao Lord seized the moment and broke free in an instant.

“It can’t hold on any longer.” Qing Long couldn’t suppress a fierce grin.

Xuanwu and the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord arrived, not missing a beat as they joined in the siege.

The Dark Origin God couldn’t help but roar, “Do all beings in this realm know I have arrived?”

Hadn’t it already said to the Dark Clan to quietly prepare for its descent?

So, what was happening now?

Descending into a Celestial Lord who was already on their last legs.

Just after it descended, four Celestial Lords feasted on its essence like greedy leeches.

It was getting attacked, while the enemy clung to it like a stubborn band-aid.

However, during that initial descent, lost in joy, it could only barf a little bit, but it was bearable.

Just when it finally shook off the leech, it was targeted by terrifying Nine Heavens energy!

It was nearly killed by the very laws left by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

Seriously, it was almost killed.

After barely surviving, it faced the strongest Heavenly Tribulation formed by the universe itself, and many individuals unleashed devastating attacks upon it, every single one a total annihilation move.

After enduring all that, it thought it would finally come to an end, but then what happened?

Four Celestial Lords were all set to surround and kill it.

The Dark Origin God severely doubted if it could hold off this wave of attacks, wondering if there would be even more to come.

Its descent, it now appeared, wasn’t merely the Dark Clan’s success, but rather due to a shadowy hand working behind the scenes, facilitating its arrival.

Now, everything happening seemed to be unfolding according to the opponent’s scripted playbook.

So, the entire world knew of its impending arrival.

So tired, really so tired.

The Dark Origin’s injuries continued to multiply, and its healing rate started to drop dramatically.

So tired…

Qing Long and the others’ eyes burned with excitement.

It can’t hold on any longer, finally can’t hold on any longer.

The fall of a saint—this world had never witnessed such a monumental event since its inception.

That was a saint!

Yet here it was, hunted down by everyone to its death.

After killing it, the Celestial Lords could hardly begin to imagine the immense benefits they would gain.

The Dark Origin God’s breath grew weaker and weaker; to make it this far was truly exceptionally resilient.

Lu Ye had found the Emperor Dao Hen; he along with the Infinite Great Emperor and the Taiyin Great Emperor stood beside the River of Time, its colorful currents flowing like a dream ribbon through the Chaos.

The rainbow colors were a result of countless images woven together to create this vibrant spectacle.

They were all watching the battle closely.

Just moments ago, when Qing Long and the Primordial Dao Lord were pinned down, Lu Ye had nearly jumped into the River of Time to pull them out.

But looking now, it seemed unnecessary.

A saint was gradually fading away.

Just then, some ancient beings appeared near the battlefield.

Four in total, one of them existing in the Forbidden Land, and three were Celestial Lords from outside the realms.

Though they hadn’t participated in the fight, they were crucial when it came to dividing the spoils.

Just at that moment, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord calmly stood before the four, his gaze frigidly scrutinizing them.

Four Celestial Lords…

“Fellow Daoist, during the previous battle you didn’t call us, and we didn’t dare to recklessly join, fearing misunderstandings. Now that the battle is ending, we hope to participate, and share in a portion of the saint’s remains for enlightenment on the Sacred Dao; we respectfully ask your permission,” one Celestial Lord said hurriedly.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord replied.

“Wait for the battle to finish.”

“Fellow Daoist, we can join the fight too.” A Celestial Lord’s voice edged with urgency.

“Fighting with me counts as joining the battle.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord grew unusually assertive; having already participated in the struggle, he was entangled in the fates, so he might as well go all the way.

Four Celestial Lords…

Everyone knew the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was formidable.

But just how formidable? It had been ages since he had truly fought.

But, did they really want to face the Reincarnation Celestial Lord?

Silence enveloped them.

The Dark Origin God’s breath grew increasingly frail.

Its injuries had been compounding, the wounds left by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens were not so easily healed.

Finally, the Dark Origin God let out a mournful wail.

“I hate it!”

The final wail.

The Dark Origin God’s body transformed into a streak of black light.

It was going to self-detonate!

However, the Primordial Dao Lord and Qing Long had already been prepared; even before the self-detonation, they managed to tear away a substantial chunk.

Those were prime goodies from a saint.

“Boom!”

The explosion’s force was even less spectacular than when Lu Ye self-detonated in a previous life.

This just showed how the Dark Origin God had truly hit rock bottom.

Across the vast universe, this explosion burst forth into a brilliant display of light.

One side of the universe became a blurred haze.

Fierce winds hurled through the cosmos.

It formed a terrifying storm, which would surely wreak havoc on countless stars, but that was beyond anyone’s control.

This storm would fade eventually, but the Dark Origin God was now forever lost.

Seeing this, Lu Ye couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief—it was finally over, completely over.
