Thus, after gathering the energies of the three Quasi-Immortal Emperors, he pushed the Emperor's Law to ninety-nine percent completion and stopped.
"Still a step away from Immortal Emperor," Fang Ming sighed.
He was acutely aware of the vast chasm between an Immortal Emperor and a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
In the perfect storyline, the tenth Quasi-Immortal Emperor faced the Corpse Immortal Emperor and lost all ability to resist in almost a single exchange. Had he not immediately ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm, he would have surely perished.
The Corpse Immortal Emperor was merely an Immortal Emperor who had just stepped onto the Immortal Emperor's fruit position before being tainted by a drop of black blood.
Among the perfect Immortal Emperor level existences, he was generally the weakest in combat power.
Yet, he could almost instantly kill the tenth with a single exchange.
As for Sun Luzhen, his strength among the perfect Immortal Emperors, while not necessarily the strongest, was significantly greater than the Corpse Immortal Emperor's.
For Fang Ming to deal with him, even a peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor would find it difficult to fight across realms. It would rely more on his True Dao Physique and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords rather than pure cultivation.
"Immortal Slaying, without reason!"
Fang Ming's gaze, piercing through layers of time and universes, fell upon Sun Luzhen as he unleashed the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
The Immortal Slaying Sword, neither bronze nor iron.
The Trapping Immortal Sword, shaped like bronze.
The Slaughtering Immortal Sword, a three-foot blood-red sword.
The Absolute Immortal Sword, neither iron nor stone, but barely an inch long.
At this moment, four sword energies—green, black, crimson, and white—intertwined, with various concepts jointly occupying the four corners of the formation diagram, emanating endless slaughter and the concept of doom!
With the Emperor's Law at the peak of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm and the Five Elements Origin World Luck at peak completeness, under the shroud of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, all tangible and intangible concepts were utterly annihilated.
The ultimate end of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was met by Sun Luzhen's staff!
"We were born free, and you, the Human Race's Heavenly Court, presume to stand high above and control everything?"
The Ruyi Jingu Bang emerged from the cosmos shrouded by a vast galaxy, traversing countless planets and stars at speeds far exceeding light.
It pierced through black holes and white holes, penetrated numerous dimensions and realms, shattered the obstacles of the great universe, and with a single strike, swept away countless true great universes, directly targeting Fang Ming.
Boom!
It was the sound of order breaking.
The rules of the heavens shattered!
Innumerable heavens and myriad worlds were pulverized by that single strike!
Such power was by no means comparable to the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Fang Ming deeply felt the immense power of Sun Luzhen.
He could only act by inverting logic.
Under the annihilation of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the logic of strength and weakness was broken and inverted.
The four sword energies struck Sun Luzhen's past, present, and future, locking down the world line, timeline, and destiny line.
All concepts began to collapse.
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords, their power vastly amplified, had reached the true Immortal Emperor level.
Conversely, the Ruyi Jingu Bang's power was greatly weakened. Although it had not truly fallen to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level due to quantity limitations, and was consistent with the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation before its enhancement, it was still weakened to the lower limit of the Immortal Emperor level.
The strengthened Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the weakened Ruyi Jingu Bang.
The two instantly clashed at countless temporal and spatial points.
Time and space were infinite, and so were the world lines.
And at any time, any place, any dimension, if one looked closely, the shadow of their clash could be seen.
Spirit and matter were inverted.
Past and future were inverted.
The concept of strength and weakness was inverted.
Sun Luzhen's expression changed slightly.
He could feel Fang Ming's difficulty.
Although the strength of this Outer Realm Sky Demon was far inferior to his own, and his power was not as strong as the Ruyi Jingu Bang, his ability to reverse logic with his True Dao Physique and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords made it difficult for him to truly harm Fang Ming.
To truly break through this power of reversed logic and cause Fang Ming's demise.
Even if his power was immense, once it was inverted by that power of reversed logic, the strength of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and the Ruyi Jingu Bang would be brought to the same level.
It would then be difficult to distinguish between them.
Indeed, even if he were to shatter Fang Ming completely, as he had done before, pulverizing Fang Ming's physical body, primordial spirit, magic power, Dao fruit, and origin world.
Fang Ming's "demise" would not signify the end.
Because Fang Ming could simultaneously maintain the state of "demised" and "not demised."
Death, as perceived by ordinary cultivators, was merely a state for him.
Enemies like this were difficult for Sun Luzhen to deal with, like encountering a turtle shell, unsure of where to begin.
Fang Ming was far inferior to him in pure power.
But in terms of peculiar and unique methods, Sun Luzhen was far behind.
This also led to an uncertain outcome.
"Moreover, even if I defeat him, he might invert the concept of victory and defeat?"
"And then, I would be the one who failed?"
Sun Luzhen thought, feeling a sense of disgust.
He had always preferred to subdue all with strength and to grow stronger when facing formidable enemies.
However, facing an enemy with such peculiar and unique methods of inverting the concept of victory and defeat, in a way, was precisely his bane.
It made him, who was so fixated on victory, feel revulsion.
The Four Immortal Slaying Swords and the power of the True Dao had enveloped Sun Luzhen's body.
Meanwhile, Fang Ming's form was unseen, his whereabouts unknown.
Sun Luzhen knew he had no time to overthink.
He also knew that Fang Ming had already transitioned into a state of non-existence.
From the depths, a young, light voice echoed.
"The concept of victory and defeat, I can invert."
"The concept of life and death, lies in my palm."
"The concept of logic, you cannot comprehend."
"Luzhen, what can you do..."
This battle might have lasted an instant, or it might have continued for countless eons.
What it was like,
Could not be described.
Could not be understood.
At a time when logic had been inverted and distorted, it was beyond the comprehension of those confined within logic.
Only in the end, the young emperor Fang Ming emerged from it.
With a smile on his face, he said, "To fight an Immortal Emperor across realms with the cultivation of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, to win and destroy them, this incredible feat, no one in the perfect original work could achieve it, only I can."
"It is evident that the True Dao Physique and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords are indeed useful."
"And greatly so."
"However, this is also the limit of what my current magnitude can achieve."
"Even with the power to defy logic, it is feasible to fight a perfect Immortal Emperor across realms, but it is impossible to fight a Saint Ruins Immortal Emperor across realms."
"Just as a ten-star can fight an eleven-star across realms, but cannot fight a twelve-star across realms."
With a flip of his hand, Fang Ming used the energy converter to absorb Sun Luzhen's energy, increasing his own magnitude.
[Sun Luzhen]
[Cultivation and Strength: Ancient Saint (Perfect Immortal Emperor level), Eleven-star Multiversal level powerhouse]
[Talents: Fiery Golden Eyes, Will of Battle]
With a cultivation of the Multiversal level and the Perfect Immortal Emperor level, Fang Ming's Emperor's Law was now infinitely close to completeness. After absorbing Sun Luzhen's cultivation, he smoothly stepped into the Perfect Immortal Emperor realm, filling the last trace of incompleteness.
