Chapter 434 There is ultimately no place for me in this new era.
"Again!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One lightning bolt after another struck, their power increasing exponentially.
The second...the fifth...the tenth...
Each lightning strike shatters this starry sky, only to be reassembled under the influence of the laws of nature.
The figure of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor floated in the sea of thunder, like a reef in a raging storm, small yet always standing firm.
Time passed day by day.
This extraordinary ordeal lasted for a full week.
This week.
All the cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were watching this scene closely.
Some prayed for his success, that he would witness the birth of a new legend.
Some people cursed him to fail, and didn't want anyone to be above them.
But no one can deny that at this moment, the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor is the most dazzling existence in this universe!
……
It was the eighth day of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor's tribulation.
The situation began to deteriorate rapidly.
At this point, the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor was no longer at his peak.
His Azure Nether Tower was blasted into pieces by a nine-colored divine lightning bolt on the sixth day.
His armor had long since turned to ashes.
He endured it all with his own body and his indomitable will.
At this moment, half of his body had been cleaved away, leaving only his head and half a torso, covered in blood and a gruesome sight.
But he persisted.
Because he could sense that the tribulation lightning seemed to be coming to an end.
As long as we get through this... as long as we get through these last few hurdles...
"Cough cough..."
The Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor struggled to raise his head, looking at the tribulation clouds that were still brewing even more terrifying power, a trace of bitterness and despair flashing in his eyes.
Why...?
"Why is this lightning tribulation... so powerful?"
"This power... is at least three times stronger than the Great Emperor's Tribulation recorded in ancient texts!"
boom!!
In the instant he was distracted.
Another bolt of lightning struck.
puff!
There is no suspense.
The ravaged body of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor was reduced to charcoal by this terrifying lightning tribulation.
His five major secret realms within his body are damaged, and his life force is on the verge of extinction.
Only a primordial spirit, extremely weak, remained, swaying in the wind.
"hehe……"
As the primordial spirit of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor looked at the sky full of lightning, it suddenly understood something and let out a desolate bitter laugh.
"I see……"
"I see……"
"I'm from the old era..."
"This world...does not accept me."
"It's rejecting me..."
"In this new era... there is ultimately no place for a lost soul like me!"
His voice, filled with sorrow and resentment, echoed throughout the entire starry sky.
If it is a person of this era undergoing tribulation, Heaven might still leave a glimmer of hope.
But he is a remnant of the old era who should have died but has forcibly survived to this day.
Heaven sees him as an anomaly, as a virus.
Therefore, this tribulation to become an emperor is a tribulation that will inevitably lead to death!
boom-----!!!
As the final bolt of lightning struck.
No miracle occurred.
The wisp of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor's primordial spirit completely dissipated in this tribulation of lightning.
Only his charred corpse remained, sitting cross-legged in the void of space.
he died.
He died at the very last step on his path to becoming emperor.
He died before the throne that was within his grasp.
With his fall.
The Heavenly Heart Mark, suspended in the air, let out a mournful cry, transformed into a streak of light, and flew back into the depths of the Imperial Pass Great Wall, disappearing from sight.
The calamity clouds that filled the sky quickly dissipated.
The universe returned to calm.
It was as if nothing had happened.
……
"Dead...dead?"
"Is he really dead?"
"Did the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor fail his tribulation?"
On the Nine Heavens Continent, countless people gazed at the empty starry sky, unable to recover for a long time.
An indescribable sadness permeated everyone's heart.
Even those who had hoped for his failure fell silent at this moment.
A quasi-emperor at the peak of his power fought with everything he had to defeat all his opponents, but ultimately fell victim to the final tribulation lightning.
How tragic this is!
How cruel is this?
"well……"
Several elderly quasi-emperors who were watching all let out a long sigh, their eyes seemingly brimming with tears.
They all bowed and clasped their hands in the direction of the Azure Emperor.
This is to bid farewell to a fellow traveler, and also to express sorrow for their own fate.
The rabbit dies and the fox grieves; creatures grieve for their own kind.
They were also people of the old era.
If they were to go up there, the outcome would probably be the same, right?
……
In an unknown star field, within a forbidden zone for life.
A figure sealed within the divine source slowly opened its eyes.
He glanced in the direction of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor, his deep eyes seemingly able to pierce through countless ages.
"So it turns out a quasi-emperor failed his tribulation. I thought the Great Emperor of this era had been born so quickly."
"Unfortunately, this quasi-emperor has been sealed for too long, resulting in the tribulation lightning being far too powerful."
"If the other party had been born ten thousand years earlier, perhaps there would have been a chance for them to attain enlightenment."
This unknown entity was talking to itself.
Then he closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
.......
Meanwhile, on the Nine Heavens Continent, above the Imperial Pass Great Wall.
The void rippled slightly.
An elderly woman with a hunched back and a full head of white hair, leaning on a cane, came shakily stepping through the void.
She didn't have any earth-shattering aura, nor did she possess any divine protection.
She was just like an ordinary old lady.
But no one dared to stop her.
The sadness emanating from her was so intense it was heartbreaking.
She walked step by step to the place where the Azure Emperor had fallen.
Only a charred remains remained, sitting silently in the void.
That was the last thing they left behind.
The old woman reached out her withered, bony hand and carefully stroked the charred face of the Azure Emperor.
Her movements were slow and gentle.
It's like caressing a lover's face.
"Old man..."
"You've fought and struggled your whole life."
"In the end, didn't he still destroy himself?"
The old woman held the other's charred remains, and two lines of clear tears streamed down her cloudy old eyes.
She didn't cry out loud, but her shoulders were shaking violently.
"I told you so, stop arguing, stop arguing..."
"Wouldn't it be nice if we found a place where nobody knows us, and lived out our last years peacefully?"
"You wouldn't listen...you insisted on fighting for that so-called Great Emperor..."
"Are you feeling better now? Feeling more at ease?"
She kept talking, as if she was blaming someone, or as if she was being coquettish.
Finally, she turned around, her back to the cold, imposing Great Wall of the Imperial Pass, and to the countless pairs of eyes that were watching her.
Holding the remains of the Azure Nether Quasi-Emperor, he walked step by step into the depths of the starry sky.
That figure looked desolate and forlorn.
"Walk……"
"Let's go home."
"It's good to be home."
