Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Great Emperor Yishi was being brutally beaten.

Trapped within a confined space, the Infinite Chaos constantly exploded, shattering the void and triggering a vast catastrophe.

Even though Great Emperor Yishi was a mighty figure renowned throughout the ages, he still sustained severe injuries, with blood spurting from his body. He had always been demonically inclined, and now his ferocity was more pronounced than ever, his murderous intent surging to the heavens, so terrifying that it could annihilate stars and shatter the starry sky.

Great Emperor Yishi fought back with all his might, but he couldn't turn the tide of battle. However, to say that he would be smashed to death, that would take at least a few years. The life force of an emperor was incredibly tenacious; how could he die so easily?

The battle was intense, yet it was always Chu Hao who was thrashing Great Emperor Yishi, putting this powerful being in a predicament he might have never experienced before, finding no way to counterattack.

One year, two years, ten years!

The situation of Great Emperor Yishi was growing increasingly dire. Although he hadn't died even once, the injuries he sustained were too severe; they could damage his origin.

It was at this moment that Great Emperor Yishi finally erupted!

With a true outburst, his body trembled, and from his two bodies, parts split off and combined to form a third person.

The third Great Emperor Yishi!

"Hahaha!" all three Great Emperor Yishi laughed, "Do you think I've been enduring your beatings because I'm not strong enough? Wrong, I have been using you to push the third Space Main Law to its limits!"

"I had already reached the Sub-Level Great Perfection in the third Space Main Law, but I couldn't take the final step. Thanks to you putting me under life-and-death pressure, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible for me to break through so quickly!"

"Let me use the three Space Main Laws to send you on your way!"

Boom!

The three Great Emperor Yishi acted at once, their Space Main Laws pounding against the spatial shackles, shattering the spatial prison in just a few blows.

This third Space Main Law was of the Water Series, turning into a dark ocean, endlessly undulating.

Chu Hao snorted, "I knew you weren't going all out. I've been wondering what your trump card might be, and it turns out it's the third Space Main Law. Since you've played your hand, there's no need for me to hold back!"

Previously, he hadn't wasted any effort, injuring Great Emperor Yishi deeply, even damaging his origin.

After forcing out Great Emperor Yishi's trump card, Chu Hao was greatly relieved because his own trump card was even stronger!

"Oh, let's see what you're capable of!" all three Great Emperor Yishi said at the same time.

"Thunder!"

"Gold!"

"Water!"

The three Great Emperor Yishi shouted respectively, each invoking one of the three Space Main Laws towards Chu Hao.

How formidable was Great Emperor Yishi? Now that he had split into three, his combat power wasn't just simply added together but had increased by at least twenty times!

In an instant, Great Emperor Yishi had turned the tables. With the three Space Main Laws in full force, even the stars and moon lost their light, and Chu Hao couldn't defend anymore. One by one, planets exploded, shattered, becoming cosmic dust.

"Die!" Great Emperor Yishi had become demonic; each embodiment formed a black Demonic Circle.

Chu Hao revealed a trace of a smile. "You've only cultivated for an additional ten thousand years. Do you know how many years I've cultivated?"

Great Emperor Yishi was slightly moved. His opponent had mastered Time Law, a Forbidden Power of heaven and earth. Even with his exceptional talent, he had only grasped a hint of it, but this opponent had already achieved considerable success in the Time Law ten thousand years ago. What about now?

The opponent could accelerate the flow of time. Ten thousand years passed in normal time, but how many years had the opponent experienced?

One hundred thousand years? Two hundred thousand years?

Considering the opponent had developed all the Laws of Five Elements to the Sub-Level Great Perfection, one could understand just how much progress had been made.

"Hmph, to a mediocre person, even if they cultivate for a hundred million years, so what?" Great Emperor Yishi said coldly.

"Then let me show you my achievements!" Chu Hao said with a smile, activating the power of time, beginning to draw out his past and future selves.

Two, four, six, eight, ten... each time, they appeared in pairs, and the number kept increasing.

Great Emperor Yishi grew solemn. When he fought with Chu Hao ten thousand years ago, he had already experienced this move, and it was also because of it, the more selves Chu Hao extracted, he decisively withdrew from the battle, as continuing was pointless.

Now... what level had Chu Hao reached? How many selves could he extract?

Twenty! Thirty! Forty!

Great Emperor Yishi's expression changed. One Chu Hao was already powerful enough, but this number... it was astonishing!

Yet, he remained calm. Although the number was shocking, at most it could only suppress him. To actually defeat him was difficult!

Fifty! Seventy! One hundred!

Finally, Chu Hao reached his limit; he extracted fifty clones each from both the past and the future, plus his current self, making the number a total of one hundred and one.

One hundred and one Great Emperor-level combat powers!

Great Emperor Yishi remained calm, saying, "Is this your trump card?"

"It will do for now," Chu Hao replied indifferently, "Now it's one hundred and one against three. Can you withstand this?"

Great Emperor Yishi's demonic Qi shot to the sky as he said chillingly, "What's one hundred? Watch as I blow them all up!" All three Yishis were forming seals, and with a hum, three Main Laws intertwined, forming a triangle.

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things!" chanted Great Emperor Yishi, as the triangle suddenly expanded endlessly, large enough to envelop a Star Universe, then it descended toward Chu Hao.

"This is also a Minor World, but with the Main Laws derived, how does it compare to yours?"

Boom, the intertwining of the three Main Laws released dazzling light, as though deriving an entire world.

Chu Hao shook his head; the opponent's attack was strong, but it was still no match for a world formed by the generating cycle of the Five Elements. However, it should not be underestimated, as a trace of the power of a world spread out.

He struck out, and one hundred and one true selves erupted at once, charging towards Great Emperor Yishi.

Boom, boom, boom, boom—the two sides engaged in fierce battle.

Although there were only two of them, it was a chaotic battle scene, with one hundred and one Chu Haos beating up on three Great Emperor Yishis, but the three Main Laws formed a False World, protecting Great Emperor Yishi.

In terms of combat power, Chu Hao still had the advantage, after all, the numbers were there. Each Chu Hao had full combat power, but breaking through Great Emperor Yishi's False World was still not an easy task.

But this shocked Great Emperor Yishi; after all, his adversary was still just a Realm Master—although it was unknown how he managed to use the Space Main Laws. If the adversary truly entered the Great Emperor Realm and raised the other Laws as well, especially the Time Law, to what astonishing extent would his combat power reach?

The true first emperor through the ages.

"Taoism is my law!" The Demonic Circle of Great Emperor Yishi even radiated Golden Light, with his entire being emitting a divine aura. "Purify to the extreme, a dazzling battle!"

Boom!

The great Tao of heaven and earth actually responded, directly manifesting eight pillars of light in the Star Universe, majestic and powerful.

These were the eight Main Laws of heaven and earth, with three resonating with Great Emperor Yishi, intertwining, as he became the Tao itself.

I am the Laws!

Great Emperor Yishi's combat power surged instantly; at this moment, he represented the great Tao of heaven and earth, invincible.

Chu Hao, fearless, had one hundred and one true selves strike simultaneously, all able to operate the Five Elements Laws, Space Laws, shining with endless radiance. But as Great Emperor Yishi's combat power soared, he too balanced the situation.

Yishi, absolutely one of the most powerful Great Emperors of all ages, brilliant beyond compare. Just ten thousand years had passed, and his combat power had increased so much. This must have been a continual refinement of the principle of "three begets all things," and once he cultivated the third Main Law, everything fell into place.

"Hahaha, kill you! Kill you!" Great Emperor Yishi laughed loudly, unleashing the three Origin Laws toward Chu Hao in a furious bombardment.

Chu Hao clashed head-on with his opponent, saying, "Yishi, you disappoint me a little; is that all the strength you've got?"

"This strength?" roared Great Emperor Yishi. What did he mean this strength? His power now was at least ten times greater than it was ten thousand years ago! If he had been this strong back then, he would have finished off Chu Hao and Nether Tree Great Emperor long ago. Why would it be your turn to strut around?

There was no way around it; his understanding of "three begets all things" definitely required three Main Laws to support, and it was only in his battle with Chu Hao that he comprehended the third Main Law.

"Then let's use this strength to end you!" bellowed Great Emperor Yishi like thunder. With a sweep of his hands, golden swords flew out toward Chu Hao, Thunder Pools appeared one after another, spewing forth thunder towards Chu Hao, and finally, a black sea surged, rolling up more than a dozen gigantic water columns toward Chu Hao.

The three Main Laws displayed their full might.

Chu Hao, drawing on one hundred summoned selves, went all-out against Great Emperor Yishi. Sword Diagrams unfolded, space collapsed, making the Golden Swords break, the Thunder Pools shatter, and the water columns evaporate.

The two supreme beings were still clashing, locked in battle, as if they could continue to fight until the end of time.

But both knew that this was impossible; such an intense battle could at most last ten years, after which even warriors of their caliber would be exhausted. They would either have to step back or end in mutual destruction.

But before that step was reached, neither would flinch.

Powerful beings from the Star Universe gathered upon hearing the news, as two Great Emperors engaged in rare combat, which they naturally wanted to witness firsthand, lest they regret it for life.

Another ten years passed, and the two strong ones seemed unharmed, but they knew they were close to exhaustion.

It appeared this battle would end in a draw.

Great Emperor Yishi laughed heartily, saying, "Not bad at all, after fighting for so long, I seem to have glimpsed the mystery of the Time Law. Give me a hundred years, and I shall advance it to the height of Level Four Laws!"

This was astonishing; within just a mere hundred years advancing the Time Law to the height of Level Four was genius beyond measure.

But how could he not have gained anything from battling Chu Hao for so long, constantly perceiving the other's power of time? At their level of strength, it is possible they would never encounter a match in their lifetime, but once they did, a single battle could be an incredibly profound gain.

Chu Hao sneered, saying, "After this battle, you will turn to dust, what future do you speak of?"
