The Dark Emperor, dead.
This sixth-tier Heavenly Emperor, who had dominated the Four Directions Domain for hundreds of thousands of years, had finally reached his end.
"Flee."
Of the remaining Dark Realm Heavenly Emperors, some abandoned the Dark Realm itself and fled madly.
Of course, some Heavenly Emperors chose to die with the Dark Realm.
With the Dark Emperor dead, the Dark Realm was finished.
Rather than live a life of ignominious survival, they preferred to follow their Realm Master to death.
"Boom."
The remaining powerhouses chose to self-detonate.
They would take their enemies with them in death.
"Holy shit."
The Immortal Emperor was the most miserable.
The curse he uttered revealed his fury.
His opponents were two fourth-tier and two fifth-tier beings.
One from each tier fled.
The remaining fifth-tier Heavenly Emperor and fourth-tier Heavenly Emperor immediately self-detonated.
Rumble.
The Immortal Emperor was blasted into fragments.
"Senior..." Chen Fan was shocked.
The Immortal Emperor could not die.
In the Life and Death Realm, he was the only one who could discuss the Dao with Chen Fan.
"Cough, cough."
The Immortal Emperor was reborn from his blood, coughing continuously, "The losses are huge this time, alas... nearly half of my hundred cellular spaces are gone."
It was only because of his powerful physique that he had not perished this time.
"It's good that you're alright."
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone else, retreat immediately."
Rumble.
The self-explosions were still ongoing.
On the side of the Life and Death Realm, two individuals were unable to dodge in time and were taken away by their enemies.
"Eight now."
Chen Fan's expression was grim as he said in a deep voice, "Zhao Kai, Xi Qiu, can you be reborn?"
"Yes."
Xi Qiu, who had spoken, replied, "They haven't been dead long, so it should be fine. It will be difficult if more time passes."
"Resurrect them immediately. I will withstand the heavenly tribulation."
Rebirth would invariably trigger heavenly tribulations.
For eight Emperor Lords, it should not be a major problem.
"Yes."
The two joined forces and began to summon the fallen.
They temporarily disregarded the Dark Realm.
People were more important than worlds.
Boom.
The heavenly tribulation indeed appeared.
"Kill."
Chen Fan, too lazy to waste words, manifested his Yin Yang energy, "Shatter!"
With a single punch, he shattered the nine bolts of lightning.
This was Chen Fan now, his Yin Yang palm ruling heaven and earth.
With boundless combat power, he stabilized the firmament.
The eight returned, one by one.
None of them wore smiles on their faces.
Like Zhao Kai, they had lost certain emotions during their second rebirth.
"Now we're all the same," Zhao Kai said with a forced smile.
The eight Emperor Lords: "..."
It was good to be alive. As for losing an emotion, it was a trivial matter.
Who among them cared about a smile?
It was unimportant.
"Alright."
Chen Fan spoke, "You are all heavily injured. First, absorb the Great Dao universe and the world of the Dark Realm to recover from your injuries."
"Yes."
Everyone was extremely excited.
Wasn't this war of worlds all about resources?
The group then advanced into the Dark Realm like locusts.
However, as Chen Fan entered, he began to frown.
The Dark Realm, with its billions of living beings.
"What should we do?"
Chen Fan was utterly speechless.
Fighting had been exhilarating.
But how was this to be resolved?
Was he supposed to abandon the billions of living beings, cast them into the chaos to be devoured?
Chen Fan could not do such a thing.
Abandoning the Dark Realm, which they had so hard-won, was even more out of the question.
Could he kill them?
Don't be ridiculous.
"Alas."
In the end, Chen Fan could only sigh, "Absorb it. We have so many debts, we no longer fear them. For this harvest, you will absorb the Great Dao of the Dark Realm to mend your wounds, and the World Force will be absorbed by the Life and Death Realm to continue expanding our world."
This was the best course of action.
Everyone nodded and immediately took control of the Dark Realm.
The Dark Realm, as its name suggested, was devoid of light.
The entire Dark Realm was in a state of gloom, and its cultivators mostly practiced dark arts.
"Emperor Lords, kill them all." This was the command given by Old Demon Chu again.
Breaching realms and killing Emperor Lords.
For the Life and Death Realm, such a feat had become commonplace.
What was the point of leaving them alive? To hold a grudge?
The slaughter began.
Emperor Lords wailed and pleaded for mercy...
Unfortunately, for these madmen from the Life and Death Realm, who were accustomed to killing Emperor Lords, their pleas were useless.
With the combined might of Heavenly Emperors and Emperor Lords, all the Emperor Lords were easily annihilated.
"Go."
The group flew out of the Dark Realm.
They joined forces and began to drag the Great Dao universe, quickly heading towards the Life and Death Realm.
...
In front of the realm gate of the Life and Death Realm.
Heavenly Disaster was still guarding the gate. Since the City Lord had emerged from his seclusion, all previous worries had vanished.
"Boom."
Suddenly, the chaos trembled.
Heavenly Disaster stood up abruptly, looking at the approaching behemoth in the distance.
It was colossal.
A sixth-tier Great World was being dragged by a group of people towards the Dark Realm.
"It's done."
Heavenly Disaster's face lit up with joy.
He knew it. In this chaotic expanse, there was nothing the City Lord couldn't handle. This prestige stemmed from the City Lord's countless battles.
Heavenly Disaster stepped out of the realm gate and moved to help drag it.
A sixth-tier Great World.
This was the second one. They had previously absorbed the Stone Realm, and now they added the Dark Realm.
The future of the Life and Death Realm was infinitely bright.
Boom.
The Life and Death Realm finally reached the front of the Life and Death Realm.
The group was panting from exertion.
After all, it was not their own world. Moving another world was extremely tiring.
A sixth-tier Great World was incredibly heavy.
"First, absorb the Great Dao universe," Chen Fan commanded again.
After a moment's thought, he added, "Stop once your injuries have recovered. This time, Senior Immortal Emperor was severely injured, so try to leave more for him."
"Understood."
The group of Emperor Lords, like a swarm of locusts, directly entered the Dark Realm's Great Dao universe.
At this moment, the Dark Realm's Great Dao universe had completely collapsed.
However, the power of the Great Dao was still present and had not dissipated.
The group entered and began to devour it madly.
Each person emerged as soon as their injuries healed.
Finally, in the Dark Realm's Great Dao universe, only the Immortal Emperor remained.
"We won't wait for him," Chen Fan said again. "Extract the World Force and integrate it into the Life and Death Realm. Remember to leave some, and after moving the population, then shatter it."
A world was a treasure trove.
Even the soil was a rare treasure.
Soil, mountains, rivers... they were useless to people, but for a world, they were the greatest treasures.
The group, with a mix of pain and joy, became movers, relocating World Force and population...
It took a full day of hard work, and the Dark Realm finally became empty.
Only the Immortal Emperor had not emerged.
In the chaos, two Great Worlds stood side by side, one brimming with energy, the other fading into death.
"City Lord, what's next?"
This kind of plundering was incredibly exhilarating.
Moreover, they no longer had to fear death. Everyone eagerly anticipated the next battle.
"Heh heh."
Chen Fan gave a wry smile, "Why the rush? Let's wait for Senior Immortal Emperor to come out. As for you all, continue to absorb and expel chaotic energy. With the Life and Death Realm's population of 23 billion, there is still some congestion, not enough."
The crowd agreed. They turned and drilled back in, continuing to absorb and expel chaotic energy to strengthen the world.
...
Time slowly passed.
On the seventh day, the Immortal Emperor emerged.
"How is it?" Chen Fan asked.
The Immortal Emperor smiled, "Still thirty short."
