out of time

Chapter 963 Cause and Effect Has Been Broken
Sky, calm.

The world is peaceful.

The wind started to blow a few breaths ago and dissipated in this instant.

It was as if it had never appeared, except for the brilliant whirlpools formed by the star clusters on the sky, which replaced the sky and were still rotating silently.

They will last for some time and become traces of that shocking battle.

At this moment, the holy land left.

Outside the Ancient Emperor Star, the three gods from the Netherworld Source Skeleton Clan, the Northern Life Royal Clan, and the Red Earth Daluo Clan also knew that the empress's deification was unstoppable.

So, they chose to step back, looking at the figure of the emperor on the sky with fear and complexity.

But there are still other thoughts in my mind, but whether these thoughts can become reality depends on whether there is such an opportunity.

As for the Sun, Moon, and Stars, they had also completed the transaction. At this moment, they were gazing at the sky and at the Emperor of the human race. There were rare reminiscences and waves in their expressions.

What we are reminiscing about may not be the great emperor before our eyes, and what is turbulent may not be the present world we are looking back on.

Perhaps, it is the Northern Emperor, the Northern Immortal Realm.

They remembered that person.

All around, silence.

All eyes, whether they were on the empress, the gods, the ministers, the people of the imperial capital, or the divine thoughts hidden in the void.

At this moment, everyone looked up into the air, at the figure who had swung the final sword, stunning the ancients and unrivaled all living beings.

In silence, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the emperor slowly turned around.

The eyes that have seen the vicissitudes of time look towards the human race and the world.

Followed by a sigh.

The body transformed by his luck gradually disintegrated until it became blurry, with only its outline remaining, revealing Xu Qing's body inside.

This body fell towards the earth and finally lay on the human war drum.

During the process, a blurry soul shadow walked out of Xu Qing's body and floated in the air.

That is the soul of the great emperor.

It is dissipating irreversibly.

He had protected the human world for tens of thousands of years, fought countless battles in his life, slew many gods, but today... he was tired.

The exhaustion from the soul spread at this moment.

His vitality had actually been extinguished many years ago, and only his clone had survived to this day, reaching the end of his life.

His fatigue had already appeared over tens of thousands of years and had accumulated to this day.

And he could have had endless life, could have had the highest glory, could have been less tired.

All he had to do was choose himself between himself and his tribe at that point in time.

But he chose the ethnic group.

Sometimes, a choice made at a critical moment in life will be a path of no return. Once you embark on it, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you can't turn back.

Do you regret...

The emperor smiled. He hadn't smiled for a long, long time.

"No regrets."

The emperor murmured in his heart.

I have walked through the mountains and rivers of the world for tens of thousands of years, and stepped into the waves of heaven and earth for eternity. In this life, I will draw my sword to slay gods and guard my tribe while I sit or lie down.

Such a life is naturally much better than hiding in the sky and struggling to survive.

Thinking of this, the emperor swept his eyes across this world, looking at the imperial capital, the vast territory, the mountains and rivers, and finally only looked at two people.

One is Xu Qing, the man he appointed to carry the sword, who will continue to move forward with his sword.

He would not restrict the other party's path. How to walk is his freedom. As for the sword... how to cut is his freedom.

"This child has too much karma... His past and future may be more exhausting than mine."

And the second person is the empress.

This woman who cried while being swallowed by Xuan Zhan, this talented woman who gave her all for the human race, caused a ripple in his heart at that time.

He thought of his daughter who was devoured by the gods.

So he rescued the empress.

"Not all human emperors are good... but at least she was good when I left."

Looking at the empress whose whole body was burning with divine fire, the emperor had anticipation in his eyes.

He wanted to see what kind of explosion a cultivator who, supported by the luck of his clan, had taken a half step to become the peak of the master would get if he turned to practicing the divine way.

Is it the flawless peak, or... one step to the divine stage!
As for the ancestral teachings from the holy land, humans cannot become gods.

He complied.

Therefore, he will not choose to become a god in this life.

But what should the tribe do after I leave?

After I am gone, who will continue to protect the human race...

Between the ancestral teachings and the people's livelihood, the emperor does not want to think about it anymore.

He just wanted to take a closer look at the world he had been protecting during this last moment.

By the way, go fishing again.

So in the next moment, at the moment when his soul was blurred, at the moment when the empress's expression changed drastically, and at the moment when Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.

Behind the emperor, a figure appeared from the void like lightning, raised his hand and slapped the emperor's soul shadow hard.

"Hold the sword, I will send you off for the last time!"

The person who appeared was Yu Liuchen!
He did not leave, but remained hidden, looking for an opportunity. Now He was finally found, and He finally turned the last journey of His visit into a farewell!
But just as everyone's expressions changed drastically and Yu Liuchen's palm was about to fall.

The emperor's expression did not change at all. He raised his hand and suddenly swung it behind him.

With this swing, infinite power surged up from his body, and the vortex of star clusters spinning in the sky suddenly accelerated, turning from tranquility to violence in an instant.

The roar was deafening.

It seemed as if everything before was false, and they were all just waiting, waiting for the fish to appear!

At this moment, another shocking storm broke out, forming a devastating force, rolling towards Yu Liuchen like a tidal wave and smashing in front of him.

Yu Liuchen's whole body shook, and large mouthfuls of golden blood spurted out uncontrollably.

The sword on his chest emitted endless sword energy, sweeping through Yu Liuchen's body. Countless flesh and blood were annihilated wherever it passed. The shrill sound from Yu Liuchen spread throughout the world.

"You actually have another trick up your sleeve. If you don't take action now, when will you do it?!"

Yu Liuchen's expression was distorted, and his voice made the sky collapse. The moment it was heard, he rushed towards the Sword-wielding Emperor again.

Almost at the moment when Yu Liuchen's words were uttered, the strong wind in the sky started again. This wind was icy cold. Wherever it passed, the sky and the earth turned white. The wind and snow filled the air, and everything was sealed.

Be it clouds, mountains, rivers, all things, and even the laws and rules, will all be frozen in this wind.

Because this is the flawless wind, this is the wind of the gods.

This is the wind of divine power from another flawless god from the Beiming royal family.

A god walked in the wind.

The figure of this god could not be seen clearly, and it seemed that he had no fixed form. He blended into the wind and turned into a palm made of wind, grabbing towards the emperor.

Looking from afar, at this moment, on both sides of the emperor were Yu Liuchen on one side and the God of Cold Wind on the other.

These two terrifying gods attacked at the same time.

Moreover, in all directions, as the void shattered, there were seven or eight gods that broke through the air. They had been hiding in the surroundings the whole time, all for... this moment.

What they want is the life light that emanated from the body of this last quasi-immortal in the world before his death.

This scene fell into the eyes of the human race.

The empress's body trembled. She wanted to take action, but now her body could not move. At the moment when the divine fire was about to form, she was also at her most vulnerable.

As for the others, they were not qualified to take off and participate in this battle.

Xu Qing's eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. After waking up, he felt that there were some differences in his body, and the same was true for his soul.

The feeling of completeness I had felt from beating the drums before reappeared, even more intensely.

It was as if all the scars, whether outside or inside, obvious or hidden, had been carefully repaired by the emperor.

Now, completely complete.

Not only that, the last trace of the emperor on the sword was also wiped out.

Give him this sword, intact and without any hidden dangers!

In addition, a legacy was left in his mind.

Sword holding style!
The name of this inheritance is these three words.

This is the most precious secret skill of the great emperor in his life, and it is his legacy!

It was the same move as before, when he slashed towards the sky with the sword!
Such a favor was so profound that Xu Qing was unable to repay it. However, he now watched the emperor facing such a siege without the ability to help at all.

Xu Qing stood up suddenly and drew his sword even though he was not qualified.

But at this moment, a faint voice came from the sky.

"Don't be impatient."

This sound is peaceful and echoes among the human race. Just like the protection it has provided for countless years, it can make the human race feel at ease.

At this moment, it spread throughout the world, soothing the Empress and Xu Qing's minds. At the same time, the Sword-wielding Emperor in the sky did not show the slightest ripple on his expression, as if facing the joining forces of so many gods was nothing special to him.

He raised his right hand and grabbed Yu Liuchen who was rushing towards him.

After this grab, Yu Liuchen's whole body trembled violently, and the illusory sword on his chest made a shocking sword sound, and then rushed out.

This sword was pulled out from Yu Liuchen's chest for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

The moment it appeared in the world, a brilliant sword light flashed, and a tremendous sword energy was emitted, and it fell into the hands of the emperor.

After being caught by the emperor, he suddenly slashed at the cold wind hand coming from behind!
The sword flashed, and the heaven and earth were shocked.

The divine hand broke against the wind, without any resistance. Countless divine blood was spilled, and the wind that could freeze everything also disintegrated, collapsed, and shattered.

The god from the Beiming royal family inside disappeared suddenly without any hesitation.

As for the remaining power, it was sweeping in all directions at this moment, causing all the hidden gods that rushed out from the void to spit out divine blood and retreat, not daring to get any closer.

The Emperor still has a sword!
This sword was left in Yu Liuchen's chest tens of thousands of years ago, and today... it was taken out.

Shock all directions.

As the group of gods retreated, Yu Liuchen did the same, his body quickly retreated, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented clarity, and all previous reactions disappeared in an instant.

It became extremely peaceful.

"I have repaid your kindness of not killing me!"

He came here to watch the last journey and also to deliver the last sword!
Having said this, He, whose physical injuries had recovered without any hindrance, turned around, wrapped in his scarlet heavenly robe, stepped into the void, and left freely.

"The cause and effect have been severed, I hold the sword... and bid farewell forever."
