The universe annihilated, the starry seas drained, one galaxy after another perished, each domain of stars turned to dust.
Gu Chen stood amidst the pitch-black cosmos, his clothes smeared with blood, his complexion ghostly pale, his energy dropped to its nadir.
This battle could truly be said to be the toughest one Gu Chen had fought since he began his journey.
His very foundation was almost exhausted, teetering on the brink of depletion, yet his enemy was not vanquished in the end.
But happily, this did not leave him with any hidden troubles.
After paying a heavy price, he finally resolved the situation with the Ultimate Emperor.
Gu Chen looked up, gazing at the ever-burning Origin Isle suspended above, resembling an immortal sun.
Within it, at the very bottom of the true Origin Sea, the Ultimate Emperor was sealed away, blocked by the conjoined Nine Cauldrons.
