Chapter 1287 - Disbelief
The power of light zoomed madly around the Sky Emperor's body.
"How... could you fake your own death? You..." the Sky Emperor stuttered in shock as he cut off his own finger and frantically retreated.
The Divine Light Emperor continued to sit cross-legged on the spot. He didn't respond but merely pointed out with his finger once again.
"I refuse to admit... that I could be weaker than you in your prime," the Sky Emperor yelled angrily. He exerted his ghostly technique and blue ghostly energy flickered as it circulated frantically around his body. His strength surged rapidly before it suddenly slowed down significantly. This was not only because of the power of light that had invaded his body but also because there seemed to be a problem with his cultivation.
The Divine Light Emperor hit the Sky Emperor with another point of his finger from a distance.
This time, the Divine Light Emperor pointed to the space between the Sky Emperor's eyebrows.
"Ah..." the Sky Emperor yelled.
He felt that his spirit and body were starting to separate from each other. The flaws and weaknesses in his ghostly technique were immediately magnified. He would have easily crushed this unwanted force in the past, but he had not completely wiped out the energy that he had learned from the Divine Light Emperor when he switched to cultivating the ghostly technique. So, after two attacks from the Divine Light Emperor, the power of light that tunneled into his body surged like a violent storm that couldn't be contained.
Almost instantly, the ghostly power and the power of light started to tussle with each other within his body.
"The Ancient Ghostly Emperor, that bastard..." this thought flashed past the Sky Emperor's mind as he realized that there were flaws to the ghostly techniques that the Ancient Ghostly Emperor had imparted unto him. Even the techniques recorded in the Ancient Ghostly Emperor's memories were not complete and had deficiencies. Was this deliberate plot laid out by the Ancient Ghostly Emperor, or could the Ancient Ghostly Emperor also be a victim himself?
His body subconsciously reacted even before he shook himself out of his reverie.
The dark blue ghostly power took control of his spirit and ejected his spirit from his body while his original cultivation and the two streaks of power that shot out of the Divine Light Emperor's finger had taken control of his body.
"I'll be back!" the Sky Emperor exclaimed. He knew that he could not afford to continue battling the Divine Light Emperor and immediately turned into a ray of dark blue light as he fled from the small world.
He had ruthlessly chosen to abandon his own body.
"Your Highness!"
"I'm glad you're unharmed, Your Highness."
The six divine generals and the spirit monkey battle pet, Sun Wukong, were overcome with happiness when they saw this. They didn't think that the Divine Light Emperor had merely been faking his death to lure the Sky Emperor to this small world. He had even managed to separate the Sky Emperor's soul from his body with a single attack. It was a pity that he failed to kill the Sky Emperor.
"Don't worry, I'm fine," the Divine Light Emperor said with a smile as he slowly rose to his feet.
The six divine generals and Sun Wukong were so overcome with joy that tears filled their eyes.
"I'm going to destroy that traitor's body so that he'll never be able to have a physical body again..." Sun Wukong swore ferociously. It raised its magical staff and was about to destroy the Sky Emperor's body when the Divine Light Emperor raised his hand to stop him.
"Wait a minute," he said, "don't act so rashly. This body has the attribute of the light element. I have great use for it..." He suddenly sensed something and laughed as he pointed out with his third finger. A sword of light then shot out from his finger and charged at the void above him. "I knew you would come back to secretly spy on me. Now that you're here, don't go. You should just remain here," he said.
After his sword of light charged out from his finger, sword will exploded all across the entire small world and the power of light surged like an unparalleled killing formation.
"Oh no, I've been tricked," the Sky Emperor thought in shock.
He immediately noticed that something was amiss earlier after he fled and speculated that the Divine Light Emperor might have used the last of his strength to scare him off and suspected that the Divine Light Emperor was on the brink of death. Otherwise, he would not have remained in hiding for more than three hundred years. That wasn't how the Divine Light Emperor operated. That was why he decided to throw caution to the wind and turn back to spy on the Divine Light Emperor.
He was surprised to be discovered so quickly after he turned back.
The energy waves of the small world vaguely seemed to bear a resemblance to the energy released by the Divine Light Emperor in his prime. The Sky Emperor no longer doubted the Divine Light Emperor's strength and he was completely overcome with terror. He immediately burnt through his ghostly power, turned into a blue flame, and hundreds of doppelgangers appeared from his spirit. Then, these hundreds of doppelgangers fled in all directions along with his spirit.
The Sky Emperor fled from the small world.
He was extremely terrified and fled as fast as he could. He no longer dared to hang around the small world.
The six divine generals and Sun Wukong finally figured out what had happened earlier.
"What a pity. We should have killed that heartless traitor while he was here." The spirit monkey battle pet, Sun Wukong, was overcome with regret.
At that moment——

"Puff!"
Blood gushed out of the Divine Light Emperor's mouth and he toppled backwards.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you all right?"
The six divine generals and Sun Wukong were extremely stunned and they all looked very flustered. Sun Wukong immediately helped the Divine Light Emperor up.
The Divine Light Emperor's appearance had changed significantly. His black hair had instantly turned silvery white and countless cracks appeared all over his body, which made him look like cracked porcelain; he was a frightening sight to behold. His aura rapidly scattered like sand in the wind while the energy waves in the small world rapidly dimmed.
"Don't worry," the Divine Light Emperor said as he sat down.
Everyone else stared at him in concern.
The Divine Light Emperor panted heavily and his body had changed so suddenly that he instantly looked like a wizened old man on the brink of death, looking nothing like the supreme Emperor who had scared off the Sky Emperor in three attacks moments earlier.
Ye Qingyu was extremely shocked as he watched the rapid changes ravaging the Divine Light Emperor's body.
He realized that although the Divine Light Emperor seemed to have effortlessly defeated the Sky Emperor earlier, these attacks had probably exhausted the last of his strength.
The Divine Light Emperor panted several times and took a rest. He looked at the six divine generals and Sun Wukong and gave them an explanation of what had happened to him. Just as Ye Qingyu had guessed, he had been critically injured after the battle with the Abandoned Fiendgod and the Ancient Ghostly Emperor, especially after he employed his secret technique at the end. This had enabled him to instantly defeat his enemy, rescue the six divine generals, and create this small world, but this had taken a huge toll on his body. He was practically teetering on the verge of death and he would find it hard to return to his peak strength even in thirty thousand years, let alone three hundred years.
His injuries were so serious that he wouldn't be able to recover from his injuries no matter how much time had passed.
It was impossible for him to recover from his injuries.
He had not been completely conscious during his death-like state over the past three hundred years, but his mind had still been extremely sharp.
He had been conserving and gathering his strength, but whatever strength he had managed to summon was just enough for three attacks.
That was why he had faked his death to lure the Sky Emperor to this small world. After he had sent out his final [Sword of Divine Light] and filled the entire world with killing intent, this had only been an outward show of strength. If the Sky Emperor had not been so scared out of his wits, he would have probably discovered the flaws in the Divine Light Emperor's attack.
The Divine Light Emperor only felt a slight twinge of regret that he failed to kill the Sky Emperor.
"Now that his spirit has been ejected from his body, his strength would have definitely plummeted... He won't be... cough cough... able to stir up much trouble in the next ten thousand years..." The Divine Light Emperor sounded extremely weak and coughed continuously like a wizened old man. He looked nothing like the peerless Divine Light Emperor who had once ruled over the world.
The six generals and the spirit monkey got so upset that tears streamed down their faces.
These experts were not completely devoid of emotions, but there was no longer anything or anyone in this world that could cause them to burst into tears. However, when these six divine generals saw how weak the person who had painstakingly groomed and guided them like a father was, they were overcome with grief.
"There's no need to mourn my death. Everyone will die one day, and since I'm not able to transcend reincarnation, my time will come one day. Listen well to what I have to say next..." The Divine Light Emperor seemed to have regained some energy and his words tumbled out of his lips easily as he started to issue his final set of instructions.
Ye Qingyu didn't know what to feel as he watched this scene.
He saw the Sky Emperor's spirit flee in terror, but since he could still peer into these memories, he realized that these memories were part of Lan Tian's body. The Sky Emperor's body was currently an empty shell that remained in this small world and although Lan Tian's consciousness had yet to develop, these memories were still ingrained in his body.
"After I die, the destiny of this world will scatter. Fortunately, the Ancient Ghostly Emperor, the Bloodied-Spear Daoist Grandmaster, and the other fiendgods from the alternate timeline have been killed and will no longer be able to absorb this energy. The Sky Emperor has lost his body and this has led to his foundation being deficient, so he won't have much of a chance to absorb this destiny. The Heavenly Dao is vast and boundless and there are limits to reincarnation. Thus, I'm sure that a new Destined One will emerge one day. This person will be able to absorb the destiny of the universe and his power will be limitless. This world will reemerge under his leadership and reach greater heights... Your mission is to go into hiding and ensure the rise of the Destined One when the time is right. My inner demons had led to the collapse of this world and because you were my followers, some of my destiny has rubbed off you and taken root within you. Although the future Destined One will possess the destiny of the universe, he might also have countless followers, so you must take charge of your own destinies..." the Divine Light Emperor said in one breath.
Several things started to make sense to Ye Qingyu.
However, he was so shocked by what happened next that he almost jumped in fright. Although he had seen all sorts of horrific events through Lan Tian's memories, nothing shocked him as much as what he saw next.
That was because the Divine Light Emperor chose to Dao-dissolve and directed the power of light within himself and the small world into the bodies of the six divine generals, and this caused their appearance and aura to change. The divine general with the fiery spear suddenly looked exactly like Gao Diping, while the divine general with the bloodied axes looked exactly like Wen Wan. Another divine general turned round and chubby, like the chubby Wang Lijin. The appearance of the martial artist in the shadows also changed.
Ye Qingyu was extremely stunned by what the appearance of the remaining two generals because they turned into a man and a woman respectively.
Ye Qingyu knew this couple extremely well.
He would have never expected to see them in this place.
