Undying Life

Chapter 808: Chapter 808: The Black Banner Returns

"Fight? Why not fight? This time, I will crush you to dust in front of the entire world, to bring peace to Kui'er's spirit in heaven!" Zhong Shan declared loudly.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers looked at Zhong Shan, indicating that this was not the time to take such a personal risk.

Zhong Shan shook his head, and the ministers fell silent.

"Be careful!" Bei Qingsi suddenly said.

Zhong Shan glanced at Bei Qingsi, nodded, and then stepped forward.

Yi Yan quickly signaled the army to retreat with flag commands. The army withdrew, recognizing that this battlefield was now reserved for the duel between their two sovereigns.

At Suimo City, Kong Xuan observed Zhong Shan stepping forward and narrowed his eyes. "There's still one more."

"Ancestor, what do you mean by 'one more'?" Shenya Daojun asked.

"Another avatar. Zhong Shan never gives his all until the very end!" Kong Xuan said solemnly.

"Ancestor, when should we take action?" Shenya Daojun asked.

"Let's wait and see how far Kong Lietian can push Zhong Shan!" Kong Xuan replied.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty frowned as they looked into the distance. Those with lower cultivation levels couldn't see the battlefield clearly; only the stronger ones could glimpse it. Although they hoped their emperor would win, could he really defeat Zhong Shan, especially with the power of the Dazhen realm behind him?

"General, what do you see? Has His Majesty started fighting Zhong Shan?" "Not yet!" "General, what's happening now?"

The soldiers of the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty anxiously awaited the outcome. The duel between kings was usually the final decisive battle. At this moment, many soldiers realized the importance of this confrontation, suppressing their worries and awaiting the result.

While the soldiers of the Taishui Heavenly Dynasty were anxious, the soldiers of the Dazhen Heavenly Dynasty were much more relaxed. They believed in Zhong Shan, revered him, and were confident in his invincibility.

In the northern valley, Tian Chenzi took a deep breath. "Zhong Shan has finally left Lingxiao Heavenly Court. But we must not act rashly. We must wait until Zhong Shan has no strength left before striking!"

Tian Chenzi took another deep look at Tian Ling'er.

Zhong Shan stepped forward, flying to the center of the battlefield and looking at Kong Lietian in the distance.

At this moment, Kong Lietian held a golden saber, glaring coldly at Zhong Shan.

"Is this necessary? Decades ago, that saber was already useless against me. Bringing it out now, do you want to suffer the same humiliation again?" Zhong Shan sneered.

Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Kong Lietian's face darkened. Indeed, he had been defeated here before, and the saber had failed him. Using it again seemed futile, but...

Just as Kong Lietian was about to speak, Zhong Shan reached out and took out the Fangtian Imperial Seal.

"My dynasty's Imperial Seal. What about yours? Is it still damaged from last time?" Zhong Shan mocked with a laugh.

"Is that so? Then let's test it!" Kong Lietian suddenly let out an evil laugh.

Reaching out, Kong Lietian took out his own Imperial Seal. Unlike before, this seal now shimmered with a rainbow of colors, radiating a powerful and overwhelming aura.

This is not the same seal as before?

At Suimo City.

"Ancestor, didn't you give Kong Lietian that seal?" Shenya Daojun asked with a frown.

"Indeed, it is an Imperial Seal from a Holy Court. After the Holy Court was destroyed, it fell into my hands. I refined it into a Heavenly Court's Imperial Seal. Even though Kong Lietian hasn't had it for long, it's far superior to an ordinary Imperial Seal. Zhong Shan's seal will be shattered!" Kong Xuan said solemnly.

"Fight? Why not fight? This time, I will crush you to dust in front of the entire world, to bring peace to Kui'er's spirit in heaven!" Zhong Shan declared loudly.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers looked at Zhong Shan, indicating that this was not the time to take such a personal risk.

"Be careful!" Bei Qingsi suddenly said. Zhong Shan glanced at Bei Qingsi, nodded, and then stepped forward.

Yi Yan quickly signaled the army to retreat with flag commands. The army withdrew, recognizing that this battlefield was now reserved for the duel between their two sovereigns.

Atop the city wall of Suimo City, Kong Xuan observed Zhong Shan stepping forward and narrowed his eyes. "There's still one more."

"Ancestor, what do you mean by 'one more'?" Shenya Daojun asked.

"Another avatar. Zhong Shan never gives his all until the very end!" Kong Xuan said solemnly.

Chapter 809: The Clash of Seals

"Grow~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Kong Lietian shouted. The rainbow-colored Imperial Seal in his hand expanded to a size of ten thousand miles, like a colossal seal, covering the sky and exuding an overwhelming aura.

"How huge!"

Everyone who saw the Imperial Seal was shocked. According to historical records, the largest Heavenly Court's Imperial Seal was only ten thousand feet, and the larger it was, the more its power dispersed. But this Imperial Seal was ten thousand miles wide?

Everyone was stunned. Even those with lower cultivation levels in Suimo City could see the distant seal.

Zhong Shan's eyes turned cold. He threw his Fangtian Imperial Seal into the air.

"Grow~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Zhong Shan shouted. The Fangtian Imperial Seal expanded terrifyingly, becoming another colossal seal, also ten thousand miles wide.

Seeing Zhong Shan's seal, Kong Lietian's face changed, and even Kong Xuan in the distance narrowed his eyes.

"Grow~~~~~~~~~~~~!" Zhong Shan shouted again. The Fangtian Imperial Seal grew even larger, now about twelve thousand miles wide. Everyone swallowed hard. Was this an illusion?

"Go!" Zhong Shan shouted, sending the Fangtian Imperial Seal crashing down.

"Go!" Kong Lietian shouted in panic, sending his Imperial Seal to clash with Zhong Shan's.

There was no finesse, just like two people throwing bricks at each other, except these bricks were enormous.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~!"

The terrifying collision of the two colossal seals caused a massive shockwave, making everyone's heart skip a beat.

The space around the seals trembled violently, the ground shook, and it seemed like the heavens and earth were quaking.

At the point of collision, a massive black hole appeared, engulfing the area of impact.

The surrounding soldiers retreated repeatedly due to the spatial tremors. Only the true experts watched the black hole without blinking.

Ten breaths passed, and the black hole remained, with the two seals still pressed against each other.

Kong Lietian's face was extremely grim, while Zhong Shan wore a sinister smile. With a wave of his hand, the Fangtian Imperial Seal shrank and returned to him, which he then put away.

Did Zhong Shan lose? People were shocked at the sight.

In the sky, only Kong Lietian's Imperial Seal remained, the black hole slowly dissipating, revealing the mighty seal.

But as the black hole disappeared, everyone saw a crack appear on the rainbow-colored Imperial Seal.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The crack spread, emitting numerous cracking sounds, and in an instant, the seal was covered in spider-web-like cracks.

Cracks? Endless cracks? The rainbow-colored Imperial Seal was on the verge of collapse?

Kong Lietian waved his hand, and the rainbow-colored Imperial Seal shrank back to a manageable size and landed in his palm. But at this moment, the Imperial Seal could not withstand even the slightest collision. Any further impact would shatter it completely.

Kong Lietian felt a surge of bitterness. Zhong Shan was so deceitful! A fraud! The Holy Court's Imperial Seal, reduced to this state in an instant—it was intentional. He tricked me into using this treasure.

"Ancestor, why did this happen? Isn't that the Holy Court's Imperial Seal? It should be the sturdiest among all the seals in this realm. Why was it shattered by Zhong Shan's seal? Why?" Shenya Daojun asked, frowning.

Kong Xuan squinted into the distance, his expression gradually growing serious. "The Holy Court's Imperial Seal is indeed the sturdiest in this realm. But the Holy Court is destroyed, its destiny depleted. The seal, once filled with boundless destiny, is now exhausted. Even though it remains incredibly sturdy, breaking a seal devoid of destiny in one blow means that Zhong Shan's seal must also contain destiny. Zhong Shan has somehow infused his seal with destiny. How extraordinary."

"Destiny? Again with destiny! Is it really that important?" Shenya Daojun furrowed his brow deeply.

"Destiny is crucial. For a spiritual object, destiny is everything. With destiny, even the heavens will favor you. Without it, the heavens will abandon you, leaving you as a mere lifeless object," Kong Xuan explained gravely.

"Destiny is everything?"

"Every living being, every dead soul, as long as they exist, have their own destiny. It's a gift from the heavens. You might not be able to perceive your own destiny, but it exists within your fate. The stronger your destiny, the smoother your life will be, with heavenly protection. In equal battles, those with stronger destiny will always win. Few can perceive this and find ways to accumulate destiny. The Holy Court's Imperial Seal was devoid of destiny, hence it could not withstand Zhong Shan's seal, which was imbued with destiny!" Kong Xuan explained.

As he spoke, Kong Xuan's expression grew more serious. He realized Zhong Shan had too many secrets. Or rather, in the decades since their last battle, Zhong Shan had grown powerful enough to condense destiny into his seal. It was incredible.

On the Battlefield

"You're weak, Kong Lietian. You've disappointed me," Zhong Shan shook his head, continuing his taunts.

Zhong Shan's relentless mockery was pushing Kong Lietian to his limit.

"You!" Kong Lietian glared at Zhong Shan with intense anger.

"You've come to this?" Zhong Shan sneered.

"Hmph, you're courting death!" Kong Lietian snarled.

"We'll see who is courting death!"

Kong Lietian's face darkened. Being humiliated in front of everyone was unbearable. This ant he could have crushed years ago was now standing proudly before him. Adding to his frustration, he had been tricked into using and subsequently breaking his hard-won Holy Court's Imperial Seal.

At this moment, Kong Lietian decided to stop holding back.

With a wave of his hand, black gas began to billow from his palm, enveloping it. Within the black gas, a small triangular black banner slowly emerged.

In the distance, Zhong Shan's expression became stern, and his pupils contracted as he saw the banner in Kong Lietian's palm. There it was, the black banner. All the previous humiliations were to force this banner out. If it weren't for this banner, Zhong Shan would have severely injured Kong Lietian long ago.

The black banner? Yes, that black banner!

Seeing the small black banner, Zhong Shan's eyes gradually turned red. There were no tears, only a profound sadness. Kui'er, it was this black banner that killed you. Are you still there? Could your soul still exist?
