The Supreme Celestial Emperor floated in the sky, his golden robes glowing like the sun. The power of creation itself surrounded him, his very presence warping reality.
Xiao Lan stood below him, gripping his Abyssal Demonbane Sword. His crimson and golden eyes burned with determination. He was no longer just a mortal—he was beyond the darkness itself.
The Celestial Emperor raised his hand, and a golden spear formed in the air, forged from the very laws of existence.
"This is your end," the Emperor said coldly.
BOOM!
The golden spear shot forward like a divine lightning bolt, tearing through space itself. Mountains crumbled, the sky split apart, and even time seemed to freeze.
But—
Xiao Lan did not move.
Instead, he lifted his sword, his black and white aura swirling around him. His power surged, defying all logic, all laws, all reality.
And then—
SLASH!
With a single swing, he cut the golden spear in half.
BOOOOM!
The entire realm shook. The gods watching from afar gasped in terror.
"He destroyed the Celestial Emperor's attack?!"
The Supreme Celestial Emperor's eyes narrowed. "Impossible."
Xiao Lan smirked.
"That was your best?" He pointed his Abyssal Demonbane Sword at the Celestial Emperor. "Pathetic."
The Celestial Emperor's anger grew. His divine aura expanded, making the world tremble. Golden flames burned around him as he unleashed the true power of the heavens.
"Then perish, defier of fate!"
BOOOOM!
The sky turned golden, and a colossal hand of divine energy descended, aiming to crush Xiao Lan completely.
But Xiao Lan simply laughed.
"Break."
He swung his sword once more.
CRACK!
The divine hand shattered into nothingness.
The Celestial Emperor staggered backward. For the first time in eternity, he felt fear.
Xiao Lan's aura grew stronger, his black and white energy twisting around him like an unstoppable storm. His power was no longer something that the heavens could control.
The gods whispered in terror.
"This… this is no longer a battle… This is the birth of a new ruler!"
Xiao Lan stepped forward. His crimson eyes locked onto the Celestial Emperor.
"Your reign ends today."
The battle was far from over.
To Be Continued…
