The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor smiled.

"Do you want to die together?"

He looked at Great Qin King. Then, he looked at Great Zhou King and asked, "Do you? The death spirits are here. The moment they spread uncontrollably, all of us will be viewed as the culprits by the heavenly laws. We will all be punished. With death spirits flooding this realm, heavenly tribulations raining from the sky, and myriad race experts surrounding the realm outside, can you still leave? Do all of you want to die with us?"

With a crazed expression, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor asked again, "Do you want to die together? It's not too late to stop the death spirits from crossing. We can still block the path. But the moment a death sovereign arrives, even killing the death sovereign will only produce more death sovereigns. Are you really ready to die with us?"

Dying together.

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was incredibly decisive. Seeing that even the old fossil from the first epoch had died, he realized that victory would be very unlikely. Thus, he had to do something. He knew that he couldn't rely on the myriad races to save them. They had to save themselves.

Everything would be fine during the initial phase of the death spirit invasion, but when enough time passed, heavenly tribulations would arrive. These humans would also be punished alongside the celestial chasms.

In fact, everyone in the Celestial Chasm Realm would be punished. After all, the Celestial Chasm Realm was already a fallen realm in the first place.

Great Qin King roared coldly, "Kill! Kill them all!"

"You lunatics!"

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor couldn't understand it. Were they really not afraid of death? This could really kill them all! Did they think that they could survive the heavenly tribulations? That would be impossible!

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor was growing desperate as well. More and more celestial chasm Invincibles died. When all of them died, he would be surrounded by all these human Invincibles alone.

"Since you want to die so badly, I'll help you!"

With a mad roar, he released his River of Time yet again. The river spread throughout the realm. The human Invincibles in charge of keeping the Celestial Chasm Realm sealed started coughing blood.

A large amount of death qi started rippling out of the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's body. A fragment appeared in his hand. As he chanted, a projection emerged from the fragment before being crushed by him.

Not far away, Xia Longwu coughed a mouthful of blood.

Then, he looked at the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor and said, "Someone has been spying on me as of late. So it was you..."

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor did not bother to say anything. There was someone else to handle Xia Longwu.

Sure enough, a celestial chasm Invincible charged toward Xia Longwu right after. He had just broken free from his opponents before switching targets to Xia Longwu, who had just finished a battle. With a rumble, Xia Longwu was sent flying. A trail of blood followed behind him.

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor pulled away from Great Qin King even as he continued chanting. Before long, another projection emerged from the fragment. Everyone who had entered the Heavenly Hunt Index before would be open to his curses.

Whenever these projections appeared, he only needed to crush them with his palm or ruler to inflict heavy damage to the people these projections represented.

Most of the founding kings had never been on the Heavenly Hunt Index, but the newer Invincibles had mostly entered the index at one point. One after another, the human Invincibles coughed blood.

Even Silk Destroying King was among them. Above Great Han King, some bloody clouds were starting to appear, seemingly intending to punish him from denying the phenomena from spreading.

Just then, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's River of Time struck him, causing him to cough blood as well.

Even Heavenly Seal King, who was still guarding the realm entrance, had his projection crushed. That injury caused him to stiffen, allowing an enemy Pseudo Invincible to punch through his chest.

"Hmph!"

Just then, Great Zhou King appeared behind the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor. With a snort, a powerful wave of willpower rushed out alongside the snort before striking the Pseudo Emperor.

Rumble!

After coughing a mouthful of blood, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor vanished before reappearing elsewhere with a flicker. He stared at Great Zhou King even as blood dripped out of his mouth and said, "How strong. To launch such a powerful attack right after teleporting...Zhou Tianqi, are you trying to achieve Daofuse today?"

Great Zhou King said, "That is none of your concern. It will probably be fine for me to achieve Daofuse after killing you." "Heh."

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor sneered and said, "I did underestimate you, but for you to kill me..."

Boom!

Great Qin King interrupted him with a spear strike.

The radiant spear gave the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor an intense sense of danger.

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor had not sensed wrongly. Great Qin King had ignited his blood essence to power this attack. Instantly, the spear stabbed through the defense barrier made of the power of laws before stabbing through the Pseudo Emperor's head.

Boom!

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor's head exploded, but he instantly regrew his head before pulling back far away from Great Qin King. From afar, he stared at Great Qin King coldly and asked, "Do you really want to die with me?"

Great Qin King ignored the question and launched another attack with his blood essence still burning.

Just then, a deafening explosion erupted not far away.

Yet another celestial chasm Invincible had died. The entire world shook at his death.

Right before dying, he was able to spit a mouthful of dark blood, hitting Great Liang King with his final curse. As a result, Great Liang King was instantly reduced to dust.

Not long after, a pale Great Liang King appeared. One of his three bodies had died. In such an intense battlefield, losing a body was the same as dying.

Far away, Great Tang King shouted, "Don't seek death! Go to the entrance and kill those Sunmoons!"

Humanity was already holding the upper hand in this battle. Five celestial chasm Invincibles had died so far while humanity had lost two. With five powerful enemy Invincibles gone, the advantage of humanity kept growing. It would only be a matter of time before all these enemies were dead.

Right at that moment, three ancient celestial chasm Invincibles looked at each other.

Then, they ignited their body and spread waves of darkness everywhere.

"We curse humanity with eternal damnation!"

Instantly, all three turned into dust. With a rumble, Great Han King was struck by a bolt of lightning. Finally, his barrier shattered as he coughed another mouthful of blood.

Great Tang King and the others were still rushing toward Great Liang King, thinking that the three were going to kill Great Liang King. Only then did they realize that Great Han King was already at his limits. Right after being struck by the bolt of lightning from above, a wave of death qi rushed toward him from below.

Boom!

With an explosion, Great Han King was reduced to dust. When he returned on his second body, a bolt of lightning and a wave of death qi attacked again. His second body was easily killed as well.

"Old Liu!"

The pale Great Han King had a helpless expression. He was already handling an extremely difficult task. He had to focus everything against the heavenly laws. Thus, he did not have any extra energy to spare for the attacks of three powerful Invincibles fuelled by their very lives as the sacrifice.

The three Invincibles were incredibly decisive. They had sacrificed everything just to kill Great Han King. Knowing that they would most likely die, they decided to drag someone important down with them as well.

And they were quite successful.

Great Han King was a seventh-degree Eternal. He was as powerful as a regular eighth-degree Eternal, and one of the many pillars of humanity. Thus, exchanging three lives for Great Han King's life would be a worthy trade.

Just as Great Han King was waiting for death with a sigh, a beam of light shot through the wave of death qi. Then, the projection of Great Liang King appeared in the sky. With a smile, Great Liang King said, "You're at the seventh degree while I'm only at the sixth degree. Both of us are without our three bodies, but I'm still weaker. No matter how you look at this, it's better for me to die instead of you. Old Liu, watch over Great Liang for me."

Looking at the east, Great Liang King's projection smiled and said, "This is regretful, but it's a worthy death. I was a weak scholar. During the collapse of the previous dynasty, I followed Great Qin King and rose in rebellion. We overthrew the tyrant.

"I wanted to be a respected prime minister, a respected leader loved by many. Alas, the world is in chaos and humanity is facing destruction. No matter what...I am someone who has rendered great service to humanity. When the history books are written in the future, please do say some nice things about me. I might be pro-peace, but I have never thought of betraying humanity. I am only pro-peace because I don't want to see more death.

"The immortals tried to recruit me. The devils tried to recruit me. I rejected them all. Even if I am not as great as Great Qin King, I do not owe humanity anything. Please do...make this clear for me. Great Liang is no traitor. Being pro-peace...is not a sin!"

With a smile on his face, Great Liang King's projection walked into the horizon with his spine straight. He had not betrayed humanity.

He was merely tired of fighting.

He was one of those who had followed Great Qin King during the rebellion, but he had stopped following Great Qin King after the collapse of the previous dynasty. Instead, he became a firm supporter of Great Zhou King, who was also pro-peace.

Yes, he knew that seeking peace was probably the same as waiting helplessly for death, but he was also hopeful that the peace might buy humanity more time. Humans were short-lived. He only wanted the peace to last for as long as he was alive, even if it was a false peace.

Alas, that was mere wishful thinking.

Great Liang King had died.

"Old Liang!"

With tears streaming down his face, Great Han King roared and charged a distant enemy Invincible madly.

Boom!

He pushed all his characters to the limit, including his strength character, and threw a punch. The crimson clouds were blasted apart, but his strength character also faded slightly from the impact.

Elsewhere, Great Qin King was also roaring as he attacked with boundless rage. At the same time, Great Zhou King appeared near the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor with a flicker before sending a palm attack out. Attacked by the two, even more wounds appeared on the Pseudo Emperor's body.

The entire Celestial Chasm Realm was in chaos.

Death spirits were sweeping through the realm.

However, the Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor merely laughed at the sight of that.

In this battle, the celestial chasm race had lost eight powerful Invincibles while humanity had lost three. Eleven had perished, and the sky had finally cracked.

They couldn't stop the phenomena anymore.

The barriers of Great Han King and Silk Destroying King had been broken through. At the outermost layer, Great Zhou King's barrier was on the verge of breaking down as well. But at this point, Great Zhou King was already too occupied to pay attention to his barrier.

The Celestial Chasm Pseudo Emperor laughed.

One more. These barriers wouldn't survive another death. At that point, the myriad races would learn of what was happening.

Just then, the celestial chasm Invincible who had been struck by the furious Great Han King laughed as well. "I will die, but humanity will come after! I don't regret this death!"

Rumble!

Boom!

Countless crimson clouds covered the sky of Celestial Chasm Realm. The barriers of Silk Destroying King and Great Zhou King shattered completely. After mere moments, Great Zhou King's barrier shattered as well.

Instantly, twelve groups of crimson clouds gathered together before shooting through the crack in the sky.

Twelve Invincibles had died.

Massive phenomena stretched across the Myriad Realms.

The entire Myriad Realms could hear the deafening explosion.

A torrential rain of blood descended everywhere, dyeing the entire Allheaven Battlefield red.

Ten minutes.

It had only been ten minutes since the battle started.

***

Celestial chasms!"

"Humans!"

Throughout the Myriad Realms, numerous experts were shaken. All of them looked in the direction of the Celestial Chasm Realm. Of the twelve falling projections, nine had fallen on the Celestial Chasm Realm while three had fallen on the Human Realm. Next, three rumbles erupted from the Human Realm.

It couldn't be hidden anymore.

Humanity had lost three Invincibles.

***

This was Su Yu's first time witnessing the phenomena of dead human Invincibles.

The entire Human Realm shook violently.

Great Yue and Great Liang, in particular, were shaking at a much higher intensity. Two. Two founding kings had died on the same day.

Nanyuan.

Everyone looked at the sky. Then, everyone paled.

Three projections had appeared in the sky.

Invincibles...had died!

Just then, from the ruins of the Knowledge Seeking Realm, a large drum appeared.

An old man stepped forth. With a bleak smile, he struck the drum.

It couldn't be hidden anymore.

Boom!

The entire world shook alongside the drum.

Seven strikes to the Dragonstrike Drum, signifying the fall of Invincibles.

It had been many years since the Dragonstrike Drum was struck seven times.

It was finally happening today.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A shocking thought gripped everyone's minds. Invincibles...had died.

More than one.

A disaster was upon them.
