Chapter 1981: Conclusion (1/2)

Blood slowly dripped downward as his clothes became tattered. His body was ruined as well with bones visible in many places and smashed flesh. Nevertheless, he maintained a proud and straight posture.

The situation of this epoch lord looked downtrodden but not him. He stood there, determined and even relaxed - mentally prepared for this moment.

The emperors had no comment. For the high-level ones, they could see a bit of them while looking at him.

He was an apex existence, something they were aiming for. Thus, his end was more of a warning to them.

It didn’t matter whether he was a good or bad person; a defender of light or walker of darkness. From a cultivation perspective, his achievements were worthy of respect. Moreover, morality was not as black and white for them. People simply had a different perspective on the world.

Thus, the death of this invincible being painted a melancholic feel. They weren’t exactly sympathetic to his doom, but they saw many things in this event, including a potential end in the future. Perhaps it won’t be as grand and shocking like Samsara’s death, but it’ll come.

“Time to end this.” Li Qiye said. He had killed too many people already, one more was just fine.

“Yes.” Samsara smiled: “I’ve been hiding and acc.u.mulating strength all along in order to defeat the high heaven. But the truth was to escape death. But now, when death is actually here, there is no fear in me.”

Samsara was aware that his defeat was a.s.sured. He knew that Li Qiye still had other methods up his sleeve. Retaliation was futile.

“Any last words?” Li Qiye asked.

“What do I have to say? Those worthy of my attention are long gone, those I love and those who love me. Even my old friend and enemy, Saint, is no longer around. The world has nothing for me to look at now.” Samsara was very calm in the face of death. His att.i.tude was worthy of being a supreme overlord.

He continued: “Well, I guess my last words will be hoping for your victory at the final battle. This path has lasted for too long, the cycles of epochs, so many wise sages and heroes have bent their back. Unfortunate, I won’t be able to see it.”

“The day when I return triumphantly will come.” Li Qiye stoically said.

It wasn’t only for Samsara to hear but also the rest of the emperors.

“I see.” Samsara looked up towards the wildland epoch one last time back in the river of time. His darkness once loomed over it; the inhabitants there detested him.

He had turned it into an ocean of blood and devoured countless beings. He was the devil, the bringer of nightmares. But ultimately, it was still his epoch where he lived, so he still had to look at it again.

Perhaps this was the only thing worth another glance from him.

“Goodbye.” Samsara closed his eyes and said: “Fellow Daoist, do it. What you want are in my lair.”
