Pressure,

Pressure,

The immense power, descending suddenly, brought Chen Yuan unprecedented pressure. At this moment, it seemed that the power of the entire starry sky was crashing down upon him.

No,

It wasn't just the starry sky, but also the power of the Heavenly Dao of the realm.

Immortal Taihao made his move. Although it was unknown whether it was his full strength, it was clear that Chen Yuan not only felt a sinking in his heart but also a burden on his back, as if he was carrying a world on his shoulders.

His powerful and sturdy body was now somewhat faltering, his legs slightly bent, almost kneeling.

Eyes wide with rage, bloodshot eyes, veins bulging – this was the true depiction of Chen Yuan at this moment. The moment Immortal Taihao made his move, he would certainly not wait idly by.

He had to find a way,

To block it!

But it was really difficult!

Immortal Taihao returned to a state of no joy or sorrow, his eyes indifferent. Now, firmly in control, he gave Chen Yuan no last chance, nor did he utter any words of mockery.

What needed to be said had already been said.

Chen Yuan's unwilling answer had also been given. In that case, there was only death.

If he didn't die, the altar deep within his memories would never belong to him.

If he didn't die, the Human Emperor Destiny gathered by the other party could not help him unify the heavens and earth.

At this moment, the starry sky froze.

At this moment, he hovered between life and death.

Immortal Taihao's outstretched hand did not hesitate. When he realized that Chen Yuan was still resisting with all his might and faintly holding on, he gave Chen Yuan a serious look, and then,

Pressed down fiercely!

Chen Yuan was the number one person in the past thousand years, stronger than Chu Taizu Yu of the past, and even if given time to grow, he might have been able to catch up with Martial Emperor in the future, but unfortunately,

There was no time.

The sudden pressure increased the power Chen Yuan was enduring.

His body began to tear, his primordial spirit became unstable, streaks of blood emerged from his flesh, and traces of crimson flowed from his seven orifices, quickly covering his entire body.

His inner world even showed signs of collapse!

He had reached his limit!

Chen Yuan wanted to call upon the Destiny Altar deep within his consciousness, hoping it could protect him as it had in the past, helping him to disperse the pressure, but... unfortunately, there was still no response.

It seemed that the Destiny Altar only knew how to passively defend against enemies and would not actively protect Chen Yuan.

The pressure on his legs was the greatest. It could be clearly seen that with the sudden heavy pressure, Chen Yuan's bone spurs directly pierced through his skin and were exposed.

At the same time, his knees were gradually bending.

He braced himself with his saber, trying his best to resist.

He couldn't kneel!

He hadn't knelt before the emperor, nor had he knelt before the Eye of Heavenly Dao that manifested in the heavens and earth. He was the Human Emperor, the ruler of the human race, the legend of the mortal world.

He couldn't kneel,

Kneeling would shatter his Dao Heart!

One strand affects the whole body, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an anthill. He couldn't kneel. His origin was burning, and the rules of the Martial God burst out to the extreme, but it was still useless. The pressure he was currently enduring

Was the strongest pressure he had ever encountered!

......

The commotion caused by Immortal Taihao's actions was great, very great, and spread far and wide. The encompassing pressure was also very far-reaching, and naturally, it was sensed by Jiang He and others who were also in the same starry sky, as well as those immortals from the Immortal Realm.

Even from a great distance, they still felt a tremendous pressure from the depths of their hearts, as if covered by a haze, as if carrying a giant mountain.

Everyone knew who most likely emanated this pressure, but they still couldn't avoid their faces changing simultaneously, and then, without hesitation, as if they had agreed beforehand.

Everyone actually stopped fighting very tacitly and faced each other.

The immortals exchanged glances, communicating their thoughts. Their expressions quickly changed from sudden shifts back to calmness and confidence. They had felt that pressure before.

It was the great battle a thousand years ago.

Like a reincarnation, the successor of Great Chu Taizu had returned, determined to flatten the sky, and then, ultimately, he inevitably followed the path of the ending a thousand years ago.

The Old God Vine's eyes flickered, and he calculated everything in his heart, while also paying close attention to the restrictions in his soul. He felt some worry and some anticipation.

Various emotions intertwined, revealing his insecurity at this moment.

But that was just on the inside. On the surface, he didn't show anything. But Jiang He and the others were different because their connection with Chen Yuan and the imperial court was too deep.

At this moment, they all suddenly felt a sense of worry that was difficult to describe.

Some felt this perception more strongly than others. Among them, Ancestor Su Ming was the most superficial. After all, he had known Chen Yuan for too short a time, and the Heavenly Demon Palace was only guarding one side.

It was entirely because he had bet on the right person in the beginning.

In itself, there was no particularly deep emotion. The reason he took action was simply because he had no choice. On the one hand, Chen Yuan had promised him great rewards and shared longevity.

On the other hand, he was under someone else's roof and had to bow his head. If he was unwilling to take action, Chen Yuan might have cleaned up those around him before attacking the Immortal Realm to prevent any accidents.

The Old Celestial Master and Lu Chengfeng and Ye Xiangnan were more deeply connected. Compared to Ancestor Su Ming, their relationship with Chen Yuan was much deeper. It could be said that they had associated with him when he was still insignificant.

Back then on Mount Wudang, Chen Yuan broke through to the Primordial Spirit realm and was valued by the Old Celestial Master, who helped him repeatedly.

Therefore, Wudang became the state religion, and he became a crucial minister of Great Yan.

Lu Chengfeng and Ye Xiangnan purely felt that Chen Yuan had great potential and had to bet on him, protecting Chen Yuan several times, which allowed Chen Yuan to have the confidence when he was fighting for the world back then.

As for Jiang He and Molo, there was no need to say more. They were already bound together for better or worse. Jiang He was Chen Yuan's protector in the early stages, and Molo was his protector in the later stages.

They shared the national destiny and prosperity with Chen Yuan.

Therefore, at this moment, they not only felt worried but also a sense of fear.

What if something happened to Chen Yuan?!

Chen Yuan, as the Human Emperor, the emperor of the human race, and the emperor of Great Yan, had long since won the hearts of the people and received the blessings of the power of all beings and the national destiny. In theory, they were also bound together for better or worse.

Therefore, when Chen Yuan felt immense pressure and was almost unable to bear it, the people of Great Yan also had that subtle feeling. For some reason, they vaguely felt uncomfortable.

......

"Those who defy the heavens shall be punished!"

Seeing that Chen Yuan was about to be unable to hold on and was about to perish, the always indifferent Immortal Taihao finally spoke, as if judging Chen Yuan at this moment, regarding himself as a god.

Looking down on him and looking down on all living beings!

Chen Yuan struggled to raise his head and stared directly at the radiant Immortal Taihao in front of him, hoarsely saying:

"Defy the heavens... what are the heavens? Are you... the heavens?"

"I am the Heavenly Dao, so naturally I am the heavens!"

"Heh... Heavenly Dao... the Heavenly Dao is impartial and ruthless, but you... are only borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao. Just like you said, you are the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not you!

Since you are not the heavens, how can there be talk of defying the heavens?

Those who follow the heavens will be helped by the heavens, and those who defy the heavens... will be punished by the heavens. You... should be punished!"

Chen Yuan stared at the other party and said.

"What, do you still have strength to spare?"

Chen Yuan closed his eyes, then reopened them, and muttered to himself:

"You are the heavens, and I am also the heavens, the heavens of the human race, of all living beings, and of the Great Yan Dynasty. Man will... conquer the heavens!" In the process of being crushed, Chen Yuan endured the pressure, but at the same time, he was also thinking about ways to break the situation.

Power,

He needed power!

But power was limited. With his own power alone, he naturally couldn't match Immortal Taihao. Therefore, he had to borrow power. Where could he get power?

From all living beings!

Sensing the still resilient Human Emperor Destiny that protected him, he said in a deep voice:

"I... need power!"

....

"Need power!"

As Chen Yuan's voice fell, it could be seen that in the Central Plains, with the Divine Capital City as the center, the vast black sea of national destiny was constantly churning, like boiling water.

Sweeping through the heavens and the earth.

Where does national destiny come from? It comes from the common people, from all living beings.

Chen Yuan could mobilize the national destiny, control the national destiny, and therefore, he could borrow power. When he spoke those words, many people clearly didn't hear them, but they felt a calling in their hearts all the time.

At this moment, the mountains were still shaking, the rivers were still surging, and the heavens and the earth were still not at peace, but no matter who it was, as long as they were people of Great Yan, within the Central Plains.

No, within the sphere of influence of Great Yan, whether it was the Northern Barbarians, the Southern Border, or even Dongying, as long as they were loyal to Great Yan, they vaguely sensed a mysterious attraction at this moment.

Some people looked up at the sky, some people offered sacrifices to the tablet of Emperor Shengwu at home, some people had thoughts in their hearts, but at this moment, most people seemed to have opened their minds.

If a martial arts expert were to observe the heavens and the earth, they would see that the heavens and the earth were filled with a colorful light, constantly flashing, constantly... gathering.

Streaks of light rose from the ground, surged into the national destiny, and then passed through the national destiny, crossed the restraints of the heavens and the earth, and pointed directly at the starry sky.

It was like the human race was united, with everyone working together.

At this moment, looking down from a high altitude would be shocking!

Su Ziyue, in a small county town, clenched her fists, vaguely anticipating it. The Pingyang mother and daughter, inside the secret realm, looked at each other, also vaguely anticipating it.

Yu Qingyan, Shen Yanshu and her sister.

Zhang Wanshu and Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Xue, Madam Xu, and others...

Northern Liang King Wei Wuque, Plains West King Chen Huaiyi, Town South King Chu Changfeng,

Li Suqing, Yang Huatian, Zhang Yantong, Xiao Jing, Zhao Danqing, Lingxu Daoist, Tianxu Daoist....

Everyone, at this moment, vaguely sensed something, and were also anticipating it.

Outside, chaos reigned. Sima Ke, who was usually debauched, seemed unusually calm at this time. He sat on a stone platform, holding a pot of wine, occasionally throwing a few silkworm beans into his mouth.

His eyes had a look of understanding as he looked at the void.

No one had experienced such ups and downs as him.

Prince, emperor, ruler of a fallen kingdom.

Three identities, three processes. In just a few years, Sima Ke had experienced many events, from arrogance to hidden worries, from the excitement of ascending the throne to the desolation of abdicating.

From the loneliness of hiding in his mansion to worrying about Chen Yuan's reckoning.

He had experienced a lot, and he had thought a lot. Looking at the apocalyptic scene between the heavens and the earth, he slowly became drunk...

In Ping'an County, Wang Ping, who was sitting in the county seat, commanding the constables to appease the people, wore an official robe and had a solemn expression. In front of Chen Yuan, he was a cautious, knowledgeable, and pragmatic old friend.

But in Ping'an County, his identity as an old acquaintance of the Human Emperor had brought him a lot of status. Just like at this time, under normal circumstances, he would live a peaceful life and live his own life.

But when the great chaos came, his experiences over the years also allowed him to quickly stabilize the situation.

People... all grow.

However, what Wang Ping couldn't figure out was why the heavens and the earth had changed so drastically, and why there was a faint sense of sadness in his heart. Had something happened to someone? Was it Yuan-ge'er?

.....

Wang Ping was not wrong. Something had happened to Chen Yuan. Relying on his identity as the Human Emperor, he tried his best and fought hard, finally mobilizing the power of the people of Great Yan.

If one person wasn't enough, then add tens of millions of people.

Countless rays of light gathered and condensed into one, falling on Chen Yuan's body, giving him strength out of thin air. The powerful, sudden power allowed Chen Yuan to straighten his body and regain his confidence.

Immortal Taihao didn't panic, nor was he frightened, but he had a hint of surprise and solemnity, which then turned into indifference.

He went back in time, knowing Chen Yuan's past, and knowing that he could mobilize the hearts of the people and mobilize the power of all living beings. Although the mobilization was very powerful, although it was very unexpected,

So what?

The winner would always be him.

Grasping the Human Emperor Saber tightly, the long-lost feeling of power filled his heart again. Chen Yuan didn't say anything harsh. Bracing himself with that powerful force, he charged forward.

Pointing directly at Immortal Taihao.

Chen Yuan, who had gathered the rules of the Martial God and the even more terrifying power of the 'Human Emperor Destiny', had a power far surpassing before. A saber ten thousand feet long, cutting through the starry sky and smashing everything in front of him.

Immortal Taihao began to get serious. He was also using his great divine power.

The giant hand that plucked stars and seized the moon reached out from the starry sky, the rising sun and moon, the yin and yang flowing, the blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao, overlooking all living beings.

A terrifying battle began.

The roar shattered everything, and the terrifying aftershocks swept away everything. The saber light was like the power to open the heavens, and the giant hand was like the means to destroy the earth, clashing together.

They were in a stalemate for a moment, then both collapsed.

Chen Yuan took a step forward, and Immortal Taihao also used his momentum to overwhelm him. Chen Yuan gave everything he had and finally had the power to fight Immortal Taihao.

The starry sky was shattered, and the stars were destroyed.

Everywhere they went, everything was annihilated!

The two's divine powers and strengths were displayed vividly, and the battlefield expanded even more. In a short moment, it had swept across hundreds of thousands of miles. Everything in sight was their battlefield.

Space was like illusion in front of them. Every flash crossed hundreds of thousands of miles. The more Chen Yuan fought, the heavier his heart became, while Immortal Taihao was still indifferent.

Since the battle began, Chen Yuan had given everything and risked everything, but he still couldn't gain the upper hand.

Immortal Taihao, on the other hand, still possessed powerful strength.

Firmly occupying the upper hand!

And Chen Yuan had no other cards left at this time.

Fight to the death?

Try your best.

Despair?

A little.

Retreat?

Submit?

Stop?

Beg for mercy?

Absolutely not!!!
