Wen Yu was unaware of everything happening at the earth's core origin. He also did not know the series of psychological changes that occurred when Bai learned of the immortal emperor's success.
He could only watch as the sovereign effortlessly erased Bai's trump card, leaving him feeling disheartened...
After all, Old Tang had died so many times, and after such a long period of brewing, was this the best he could come up with? Was this really his last resort? Could he be joking?
However, by now, Wen Yu no longer had any doubts about Bai. He mechanically activated his skill, trying his best to prolong his life for just a bit longer...
The desire to survive was still very strong.
Suddenly, Bai spoke up unexpectedly.
Not to Wen Yu, but to Old Tang.
"Power balance!"
Wen Yu was taken aback, then he realized that Old Tang's trump card had not yet been used...
And just as the soul balance took effect, it had already alerted everyone that the sovereign indeed was susceptible to balance-type skills.
Bai's words were like a signal. Even though Tang Haofei was still somewhat dazed, he was momentarily stunned when he heard "power balance." In the next second, mysterious power poured out from Tang Haofei's body and instantly enveloped the sovereign.
In mid-air, a scale smaller than the soul balance appeared out of thin air, with both ends wrapped around Tang Haofei and the sovereign. As the physical qualities of both parties gradually reached a balance, in a moment, both the sovereign and Tang Haofei fell to the ground.
It was evident that Tang Haofei charged at the sovereign with greater speed, and they instantly clashed, stirring up fierce winds. This time, Tang Haofei did not crumble at the first touch; rather, he pressed the sovereign hard with his beast-like fighting instincts, unleashing a barrage of attacks.
Raging streams of energy splattered everywhere, and despite Wen Yu defending with all his might, it felt like a small boat in a vast sea, on the verge of capsizing.
However, the power balance was still only a temporary measure...
The sovereign was merely taking hits, yet showed no signs of panic. He passively endured wave after wave of attacks, and soon, the sovereign's armor shattered, blood oozing from his mouth and nose—once the physical qualities of the sovereign and Tang Haofei were balanced, he truly was no match for Tang Haofei.
But, what difference did it make?
In the end, the sovereign even stopped fighting back; he simply opened his arms and tightly embraced the close Tang Haofei. At that moment, a chilling malice revealed itself on the sovereign's face. With a loud bang, countless corpses exploded from where the two clashed, drenching the entire ruler's hall in blood.
Realizing the dire situation, the sovereign decisively chose to self-destruct...
Under normal circumstances, for both the sovereign and Tang Haofei, self-destruction would merely signal the start of the next battle. It was easy to imagine that if this situation continued, all they would be competing against each other would be the number of resurrection methods available—and on that front, Tang Haofei would undoubtedly be no match for the sovereign.
The sovereign was indeed not wrong in one thing—his power in this world was invincible!
Yet what the sovereign did not see was Bai, hiding behind Wen Yu, whose eyes suddenly sparkled with brilliance when he saw the sovereign explode into fragments!
...
The process of dying and being reborn...
It had a process.
Just as those who have died experience—after a person has died, during the waiting period for resurrection, it is akin to being trapped in a world devoid of light, enduring what feels like an endless tedious suffering.
Until a ray of light flashes, and the deceased can return to the present world.
Wen Yu had experienced this as well, but the focus wasn’t there; the focus was on the process of dying and being reborn in reality.
This process was indeed quick, taking only a few seconds, and could not be interrupted by any means—yet it was undeniable that the process of rebirth required time...
