Chapter 251: The Last Hope 1
The Celestial Emperor's gaze suddenly froze. As he listened to Lin Xing's incantation, he seemed to be engulfed in memories.
"The Infatuation Incantation. It's Shan'er's Infatuation Incantation," he murmured.
With a leisurely sigh, there was a hint of reluctance in his demeanor. The Celestial Emperor raised his hand, hesitated for a long moment, and finally brought it down with a firm strike.
"Boom ——————"
In the intense collision, the powerful attack that Lin Xing had unleashed by sacrificing his Sharingan actually matched the Celestial Emperor's might evenly!
"Those beyond the bounds of fate, you and I share a certain affinity. The Infatuation Incantation, the Dragon-Hidden Saint Lord. Alas, what a pity," the Celestial Emperor said as he gazed at Lin Xing. He had no intention of launching another attack, and his eyes still held that look of pity.
"Don't look at me with that repulsive gaze!" Lin Xing retorted, yet he didn't make another move with his hands.
This Celestial Emperor was incredibly powerful. Even in this state of explosive power, Lin Xing could still feel the overwhelming suppression. In a direct confrontation, defeat was inevitable!
He had to find another way!
Lin Xing remained on full alert, and the laws of connection rippled out in waves. "Who is Shan'er? Could she be your beloved?" he asked.
The Celestial Emperor's expression turned solemn, and a subtle fluctuation emerged. Seizing this fleeting flaw, Lin Xing rushed forward with remarkable speed!
The Asura Sword slashed through the air with a whistling sound, and various artistic conceptions of the Asura were imbued within it. Lin Xing's laws of connection continuously sought out flaws. Given the vast disparity between the strength of the enemy and his own, a head-on confrontation was out of the question!
"It's futile," the Celestial Emperor said as he slapped down with a palm. Lin Xing could barely maintain his grip on the Asura Sword, and there was a faint indication that it might slip from his grasp. The immense force transmitted through the sword body, reaching deep into Lin Xing's internal organs, almost crushing him to dust!
It seemed that the Celestial Emperor hadn't even exerted his full strength yet!
Damn it!
Lin Xing swiftly spun around and transformed into a gentle breeze. Simultaneously, he employed various evasion techniques and body movements, and his spiritual power manifested into numerous strange phenomena to disrupt the Celestial Emperor.
"It's useless! Those beyond the bounds of fate, give up!" the Celestial Emperor exclaimed as he slapped down with another palm. Lin Xing gritted his teeth and endured the blow with all his might.
He was absolutely capable of withstanding this strike in his current state! However, doing so would surely leave him in a passive position. What Lin Xing needed was to overpower the Celestial Emperor!
He raised his palm to meet the attack, exerting seven-tenths of his strength to feign defeat. The law of regeneration continuously vibrated, gradually restoring his destroyed physical body.
The Celestial Emperor's palm pierced through Lin Xing's body.
Lin Xing secretly channeled his spiritual energy, ready to unleash a fierce momentum at any moment. When the Celestial Emperor was caught off guard, he would deliver a fatal blow! Under the realm of non-ego, the pain of the physical body was insignificant. Lin Xing held his breath and focused intently, awaiting the opportune moment.
Sure enough, the Celestial Emperor believed he had achieved victory. Glancing at Lin Xing, he turned around and dashed towards the distant formation.
"Now is the time!"
Lin Xing's figure instantly closed the vast distance. With surging spiritual energy in his two palms, he charged towards the Celestial Emperor's back!
Whether it was despicable or not didn't matter anymore! As long as he could survive, he couldn't care less about being called despicable. One only had one life, and it was more precious than anything else!
The power that had erupted from the sacrifice of the Sharingan was fully unleashed at this moment. It seemed that Lin Xing's two palms contained the very essence of the changes in the entire universe. The Eight Trigrams, Yin and Yang, along with countless laws and artistic conceptions, shifted and shattered as they hurtled towards the Celestial Emperor.
"How audacious!"
At the crucial moment, the Celestial Emperor still detected the attack and swiftly spun around, raising his hand to counter Lin Xing's palms. Faster! Faster! Just a bit faster!
Lin Xing pushed his body movement techniques to the limit, to the point where his head spun. He had to land a blow on the Celestial Emperor before the latter could intercept him! Channeling his spiritual energy to the utmost, Lin Xing even resorted to the Asura's technique of burning his essence blood to maximize his own strength!
He had to land this strike!
A faint and indistinct thought entered Lin Xing's mind.
It was a delicate and elegant scene!
There was an adorable girl and a man with a rigid, mechanical-like face.
Could this girl be Shan'er, the one the Celestial Emperor had mentioned?
Lin Xing suddenly realized that the will of heaven and earth was assisting him! This was a fragment of the Celestial Emperor's past!
As his spiritual power intertwined and transformed, Lin Xing's method of transformation was not about creating an illusion but achieving true metamorphosis. The woman named Shan'er, through the interweaving of strands of spiritual power, reversed the realms of reality and illusion, and emerged as a tangible being!
There she stood, looking vivid and lively right in front of the Celestial Emperor!
The Celestial Emperor's face suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at the woman before him. The Bloodthirsty Bead, in tune with Lin Xing's thoughts, unconsciously employed the Asura's technique of stirring the soul. Even the Celestial Emperor was momentarily deceived!
In the presence of his beloved woman, who would be on guard? For the first time, the Celestial Emperor's eyes, which had always been filled with boundless wisdom, revealed the emotions of an ordinary mortal.
There was obsession and tenderness, just like a young man deeply in love.
"Shan'er, is that you, Shan'er? I've been waiting for you for so long, Shan'er!" the Celestial Emperor murmured as he gently extended his hand, yearning to caress the woman's face.
A glistening teardrop rolled down from the Celestial Emperor's eye socket. Completely ignoring Lin Xing's attack, he placed his hand on the woman's delicate face.
So, the Celestial Emperor was actually an infatuated person?
However, if he was an infatuated person, he should understand how abhorrent his actions were! Lin Xing hesitated for a moment, struggled internally, and then steeled his heart and struck!
With great force, his palm pierced through the illusory figure's body and also penetrated the Celestial Emperor's chest.
"Devour the Heavens and Earth ——————!"
"Heart Sword!"
"The Eight Trigrams Give Birth to All Things!"
"Heaven and Earth as the Formation!"
"Soul Slash!"
Seizing the fleeting opportunity, the others exerted all their strength. Countless attacks rained down on the Celestial Emperor like a hail of bullets! His body, mind, and soul were all obliterated!
In a confrontation of this magnitude, a momentary distraction could determine the outcome!
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
The Celestial Emperor's ear-piercing scream echoed in everyone's ears. Glancing at each other, the group let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, it was over!
"Shan'er!! Shan'er aaaaaaah!"
Streams of strange light burst forth from the spot where the Celestial Emperor had vanished and crashed into the distant formation with a thunderous boom. The ground shook and the sky trembled, and the entire formation shattered in an instant! Waves of the aura of the laws emanated from the explosion of the Celestial Emperor's last wisp of remnant soul.
"Shan'er, we will meet again!"
This was bad!
It was too late for everyone to stop it. The speed at which heaven and earth were collapsing was a hundred times faster than before!
Lin Xing was jolted with a start!
The Celestial Emperor wasn't dead!
The Celestial Emperor had said that time and space would reverse!
At that time, the Celestial Emperor from a million years ago would experience everything all over again, right up to the present day. Without the influence of Lin Xing and the others who were beyond the bounds of fate, when implementing this plan again, at most, Zhou Yixian would try to stop it, and success was almost certain!
No wonder! No wonder the Celestial Emperor had so easily given up his last wisp of remnant soul! Once time and space reversed, he wouldn't die! The Celestial Emperor from the past would complete everything for the Celestial Emperor of today!
"Boom ——————"
The sky within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles vanished in an instant. Shivering, Lin Xing and the others quickly huddled together.
"Damn it! What are we going to do now?" Su Zhe exclaimed, his eyes wide open as he stared at the scene before him. Even he, who had always boasted of being able to cut through everything, was at a loss.
