Chapter 1596 Escape
"Have we ultimately lost...?"
Song Yu lay on the ground unwillingly, his strength waning.
He watched helplessly as the Shadow Prison Lord's body gradually swelled up.
Meanwhile, the Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor on the other two sides exchanged glances, and their figures quietly disappeared without a trace, clearly having escaped through a special secret method.
Song Yu remained silent, quietly watching the "colossal creature." The Shadow Prison Lord, with its enormous size, had now increased its power to the peak of the Eternal Realm!
This almost invincible aura made Song Yu feel a little breathless.
The entire luminous universe is now completely shrouded in darkness!
A vast expanse of black mist enveloped the bright universe, and many universes were shrouded in this mist, with countless energies beginning to boil wildly within it.
A massive amount of dark power surged forward, and the Lord of Shadow Prison naturally paid no attention to the three of them.
Clearly, he has even more far-reaching plans.
This deeper level of planning was enough to make him disregard all of this.
At this moment, only Song Yu remained in the void.
He stared blankly as the vast universe of light was gradually swallowed up, powerless to stop it; it all seemed to be a predetermined outcome.
"Hehehe..."
"Whether it's the universe of light or the universe of darkness, it will ultimately return to my hands!"
The Lord of Shadow Prison glanced triumphantly at Song Yu, then turned his head away. At this moment, he completely disregarded Song Yu, clearly seeing him as no threat whatsoever!
Of course he wouldn't take the other party seriously!
"Light and darkness blend together!"
The spiritual energy between the Shadow Prison Lord's palms fluctuated rapidly, and endless energy began to surge into the void along his arms!
Above that void, the two merging forces began to gradually spread outwards, and a large amount of special energy slowly covered the two great universes!
At this point, the Bright Universe was clearly already in his grasp.
Song Yu understood that he couldn't possibly withstand the Lord of Shadow Prison on his own!
but!
He absolutely could not stand by and watch the Bright Universe completely fall!
Song Yu slowly stood up, gripping the Eternal Sword tightly in his hand. He stared intently at the Lord of Shadow Prison in front of him, his eyes blazing with fury!
Just as Song Yu was about to launch a sneak attack on the Lord of Shadow Prison, countless chains suddenly wrapped around his limbs!
Song Yu subconsciously turned his head and saw that the Evil Emperor's head was visible in the space behind him.
"The Evil Emperor?"
Song Yu was taken aback at first, looking at the other person with some confusion.
"Let's temporarily abandon the Bright Universe. Don't forget, he doesn't know about the Peerless Universe we jointly constructed before. We can only recuperate in the Peerless Universe for now!"
The Evil Emperor finished speaking quickly without offering any further explanation. He then pulled the chains forcefully, dragging Song Yu inside.
……
The Unparalleled Universe, the Unparalleled Realm!
"Evil Emperor, Demon Emperor, billions of living beings in the Bright Universe..."
Song Yu clenched his fists slightly, a sense of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
There's also the Hall of the Human Emperor...
It's hard to say about the others, but the Human Emperor's Palace will inevitably be targeted by the Lord of Shadow Prison; that's almost a foregone conclusion.
"Don't worry, he's busy merging the light and dark universes, so he probably won't be dealing with those ordinary beings. As for the Human Emperor's Palace, we've already moved it here for you!"
The Evil Emperor smiled helplessly and pointed to the nearest continent, "We've moved the Human Emperor's Palace here, but we don't have the energy for anything else!"
Following the direction the Evil Emperor pointed, Song Yu's gaze pierced through the clear nebula of the Peerless Realm and landed on the continent suspended in the void.
In the very center of that continent, a magnificent palace stood silently—it was his Emperor's Palace.
The palace doors were tightly closed, but the presence of the disciples of the Human Emperor's Palace could still be felt from within!
Song Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was already a miracle that they were all still alive!
With a slight movement of light and shadow beneath his feet, Song Yu's figure traversed the void and landed on that continent!
Beneath their feet lay warm, moist soil, imbued with the unique chaotic spiritual energy of the Peerless Realm. It was different from the clarity of the Bright Universe and also distinct from the chill of the Dark Universe, its gentle nature nourishing the very essence of all living beings.
He strode toward the Emperor's Palace. The white jade steps in front of the palace were spotless, and the dragon-carved stone pillars on both sides were still majestic. However, the bustling crowds of the past were gone, and only gentle breezes swept across the eaves, stirring up ripples of spiritual energy!
He pushed open the heavy palace door, and several disciples dressed in plain clothes rushed over upon hearing the sound. When they saw that it was Song Yu, their eyes instantly welled up with tears. They bowed and greeted him, their voices choked with emotion: "Palace Master, you're back!"
Song Yu nodded, his gaze sweeping over the familiar scenery in the hall. A surge of emotion welled up in his heart, and he raised his hand to comfort her, saying, "No need for formalities, it's good that everyone is well."
He walked to the primordial pillar deep inside the hall, touched the pillar with his fingertips, and felt the stable light spiritual energy inside. That was the foundation of the Human Emperor's Palace, which was now slowly merging with the chaotic spiritual energy of the Peerless Realm. Although it was weak, it was enough to support the survival of the palace.
The disciples of the Human Emperor's Palace, all those who participated in the battle...
All suffered heavy casualties!
"When we moved the Human Emperor's Palace, we deliberately preserved the original formation inside the palace and injected some chaotic spiritual energy from the Peerless Realm to stabilize it. All the creatures inside the palace are safe and sound. However, they are temporarily unable to send messages outwards and dare not release their aura easily, for fear of being detected by the Lord of Shadow Prison."
The Evil Emperor's voice rang out from behind, and the Demon Emperor stepped into the hall.
Song Yu withdrew his hand, turned to look at the two of them, and said solemnly, "I will remember this kindness. When the Bright Universe fell, I thought the Human Emperor's Palace would not escape disaster, but I did not expect you to go to such great lengths to relocate here. This thoughtfulness far exceeded my expectations."
The Demon Emperor waved his hand, his voice low and hoarse, and said, "No need for thanks. When we joined forces to build the Peerless Realm, we had the intention of being each other's fallback. The Human Emperor's Palace is your foundation and one of the few authentic traditions that can be preserved in the Light Universe. Preserving it is preserving a glimmer of hope. If we want to launch a counterattack against the Light and Dark Universe in the future, the Human Emperor's Palace may become an important asset."
The Evil Emperor walked to the council table, raised his hand and waved it. Several beams of light and shadow fell on the table, transforming into the current scene of the light and darkness universe.
In the scene, the two universes have already intertwined, with black and white energies frantically entwining and tearing each other apart, eventually condensing into a boundless chaotic star sea. In the center of the star sea, a colossal figure floats within it, none other than the Lord of Shadow Prison.
His aura was terrifying to the extreme, with black and white energy constantly overflowing from his body and merging into the sea of stars. It seemed that he was completely taking control of the fused origin of the universe. The surrounding void trembled slightly under the pressure of his aura, and even the stars dared not flicker easily.
"The Lord of Shadow Prison is currently focusing all his efforts on merging with the origins of the Light and Dark Universe. He will not be distracted for a while, which is our chance to catch our breath, but it will not last long."
The Evil Emperor tapped his fingertip on the screen, and as the light and shadow shifted, the shattered void at the edge of the light and dark universe was revealed. "When he merged the two universes, the energy impact tore apart many spatial barriers. Those shattered areas still have dense energy turbulence, and some survivors of the battle are also hidden there. However, they are shrouded in dark energy, and the living environment is extremely harsh. I'm afraid the survivors won't last long."
Song Yu stared at the shattered void in the image, a hint of urgency burning in his eyes: "Since there are survivors, we cannot sit idly by!"
The Demon Emperor frowned slightly, his tone tinged with concern: "That's not appropriate. Although the Lord of Shadow Prison is merging with the origin, he has extremely strong control over the light and dark universe. He will detect any slight disturbance."
"Although the three of us are not currently weakened, we are still far behind the Shadow Prison Lord who has reached the peak of Eternity. If we rashly send people there, we will not only fail to rescue the survivors, but we will also bring trouble upon ourselves and even expose the location of the Peerless Universe!"
"Damn it, I should have kept a closer eye on him!"
"What I didn't expect was that the Lord of Darkness would become his discarded pawn!"
Song Yu clenched his fist, his knuckles turning white.
The Evil Emperor remained silent for a moment, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table, his gaze deep and serious: "Song Yu, I have a bold idea. You will go alone, but under no circumstances should you get into any conflict with the dark creatures!"
"The Peerless Universe World will be guarded by me and the Demon Emperor. We'll focus on improving ourselves here first. As for the Bright Universe World, we'll leave it to you for now!"
The Demon Emperor nodded in agreement: "The Evil Emperor is absolutely right. I have a divine pearl here that can perfectly conceal one's aura. Even if you get close to the energy range of the Lord of Shadow Prison, you will not be easily detected. Take it with you and the Eternal Sword, and you will be safe! If you encounter danger, immediately crush the primordial mark inside the pearl, and the Evil Emperor and I will be able to sense your location and forcibly tear through space to rescue you."
As he spoke, the Demon Emperor raised his hand and took out a bead that was completely black. The surface of the bead was surrounded by a faint chaotic mist. It was slightly cool to the touch, and one could clearly feel the steady energy inside.
Song Yu took the bead and put it into his pocket, then looked into the depths of the Human Emperor's Palace: "While I am away, I would like to ask you to take good care of the Human Emperor's Palace. The disciples in the palace are still in their early stages of cultivation and cannot withstand any setbacks!"
"Go with peace of mind. With us here, the Human Emperor's Palace will be safe." The Evil Emperor nodded, his eyes full of certainty. "Remember, prioritize your own safety and do not overexert yourself!"
Song Yu nodded, then after thinking for a moment, he opened his own little world again and released all the creatures within it!
If he is kept by the Lord of Shadow Prison, the creatures of the small world will also suffer!
"Ying Zheng, keep an eye on them!"
After Song Yu finished speaking, he completely concealed his aura, even suppressing the Eternal Sword so that it did not leak out at all.
With a slight tremor in the void beneath his feet, Song Yu's figure vanished before the palace gate, transforming into a faint streak of light that traversed the nebulae of the Peerless Realm.
The Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor stood in the hall, their gazes fixed on the direction he had left, their expressions solemn.
