Chapter 103: Revolt against the Heavens: The Final Battle (2)

The long-awaited battle between Zenith Heaven Emperor and the Heavenly Way erupted with an explosive clash of power and will. As the two titans faced each other on the battlefield, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. Zenith Heaven Emperor, fueled by his unwavering determination, unleashed his mastery over space and the formidable might of the Path of Anarchy. With a calculated maneuver, he enacted a technique to trap the Heavenly Way within the confines of the battlefield, preventing any escape.

"You shall not leave!" A surge of energy emanated from Zenith Heaven Emperor as he declared his fateful proclamation, an utterance that resonated throughout the realms and caused the boundaries between imagination and reality to blur.

With the words hanging in the air, the world around them underwent a profound transformation. The very fabric of reality shifted, bending to the will of Zenith Heaven Emperor's declaration. Concepts and ideas materialized into tangible forms, altering the battlefield into an embodiment of his desires. The combined powers of the Emperor created a domain where the Heavenly Way's exit was rendered impossible.

Adorned in the majestic World Protection Robe and wielding the awe-inspiring World Destruction Weapon, Zenith Heaven Emperor launched a ferocious assault upon the Ball of Liquid Metal that embodied the Heavenly Way. Every strike carried the weight of his determination and the power of his cultivation. The weapon he wielded possessed the extraordinary ability to transform into any form, granting him an arsenal of devastating attacks.

In the heat of the battle, Zenith Heaven Emperor seamlessly transformed his World Destruction Weapon to suit his every need. With a swift motion, the weapon morphed from a blazing sword of searing flames to a gleaming spear crackling with lightning. As he unleashed a flurry of attacks, each strike carried a different form, unleashing a whirlwind of devastation upon the Heavenly Way. The weapon's ability to adapt and transform allowed Zenith Heaven Emperor to exploit the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of his opponent, ensuring that no defense could withstand his onslaught.

On the other side, the Heavenly Way utilized his unique advantage as a Ball of Liquid Metal. The liquid nature of his form enabled him to swiftly evade incoming strikes, morphing and contorting to avoid direct hits. He flowed like quicksilver, his body twisting and reforming to confound his adversary. With each strike that passed harmlessly through his liquid form, the Heavenly Way seemed to grow stronger, absorbing the energy and power of his opponent's attacks. Despite his weakened state and lack of consciousness, his liquid metal body became an instrument of defense and offense, adapting to the situation and countering Zenith Heaven Emperor's assaults with cunning fluidity.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Way's detachment from consciousness rendered him devoid of strategy and conscious decision-making. He moved with an instinctual ferocity, driven solely by the primal urge to survive and retaliate. The raw forces that surged within him guided his every action, transforming him into a vessel of unrestrained power. With each passing moment, his attacks grew more frenzied and relentless, as though the very essence of his being had merged with the chaotic energies that surrounded him.

In this clash of powerhouses, Zenith Heaven Emperor and the Heavenly Way exchanged blows of unimaginable magnitude. Each strike reverberated through the battlefield, unleashing shockwaves that shook the very foundations of reality. However, despite their relentless onslaught, neither combatant could inflict lasting harm upon the other. Their Imperishable Principles, the pinnacle of their cultivation, rendered them virtually invulnerable.

As the battle between Zenith Heaven Emperor and the Heavenly Way raged on, a realization settled upon Zenith Heaven Emperor. Their clash had reached a stalemate, a deadlock that seemed destined to perpetuate indefinitely. The Heavenly Way's unmatched endurance was his greatest asset, but Zenith Heaven Emperor was no stranger to perseverance. They were locked in a fight where neither could claim victory, yet neither could be defeated.

Understanding the need for a decisive strategy, Zenith Heaven Emperor's mind raced with possibilities. He knew that his mindless opponent was incapable of devising tactics or adapting to changing circumstances. This presented an opportunity for Zenith Heaven Emperor to exploit his opponent's limitations. He tapped into his vast knowledge and experience, searching for a way to outmaneuver the Heavenly Way and secure a triumphant outcome.

With every passing moment, Zenith Heaven Emperor's mind churned, analyzing the patterns and tendencies of his opponent's instinctual movements. He recognized that he needed to find a flaw, a weakness in the Heavenly Way's relentless onslaught. The battle could indeed continue for all eternity if no decisive action was taken, but Zenith Heaven Emperor refused to succumb to an endless cycle of fruitless conflict.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Zenith Heaven Emperor observed the Heavenly Way's movements closely and identified a slight decrease in his opponent's power. It was then that he realized the true reason behind the Heavenly Way's desire to leave the battlefield. The Heavenly Way must Step Down Alliance had finally launched their attack on the Son of Heaven, and the Heavenly Way's attention was now divided.

Zenith Heaven Emperor knew that he had to take advantage of this opportunity before it was too late. He focused his attacks on the Heavenly Way with renewed vigor, relentlessly assaulting him with the World Destruction Weapon. Although he could still not do any damage, forcing the attention of the Heavenly Way to him, was equal to forcing it to pay less attention to the battle his allies had with the Son of Heaven.

As the intense battle unfolded, a sudden shift occurred in the midst of the chaos. The Heavenly Way, once an immovable force, began to exhibit signs of weakness. His attacks became less focused, his movements increasingly erratic. It was as if the very essence of his being was unraveling before Zenith Heaven Emperor's eyes.

"Finally!" He said as a surge of realization coursed through Zenith Heaven Emperor's veins, and a triumphant smile crept upon his face. His allies had succeeded in their mission, the Son of Heaven had fallen.

As the battle continued, the Heavenly Way's instability became more and more pronounced. Zenith Heaven Emperor could sense that his opponent was on the brink of collapse. He knew that the Heavenly Way could hold on for only a few more days at best, and he was not willing to give him that time. Instead, Zenith Heaven Emperor decided to push the Heavenly Way to his limit and exploit his growing weakness to the fullest extent.

Zenith Heaven Emperor tapped into the full potential of his Error Pathway. With a surge of power, he created intricate loopholes in reality, causing the fabric of space and time to warp and bend to his will. These loopholes served as conduits through which he could manipulate the very essence of his opponent's existence.

Seizing the moment, Zenith Heaven Emperor unleashed a devastating combination of his Error Pathway and Fool Pathway. He unleashed an enhanced version of his move Blind Stupidity. The Error Pathway allowed him to steal anything that stood in the way of his application of this move, while the Fool Pathway forcefully suppressed his opponent's intellectual capacity, leaving them devoid of coherent thoughts.

"NOOOOOOO!" Nobody knows if this caused the Heavenly Way to regain his consciousness or if he did so purely on instinct, but in his last moment a scream could be heard that pierced through the entire Nine Serenities.

As his opponent's IQ plummeted under the influence of the Fool Pathway, Zenith Heaven Emperor exploited the weaknesses created by his Error Pathway. He seized any remnants of intelligence, cunningly snatching away any traces of his opponent's abilities and knowledge. With each stolen fragment, Zenith Heaven Emperor rewrote history itself, using the Fool Pathway to deceive the course of events. He altered the narrative, ensuring that his opponent was forever stripped of its intelligence and instincts, erasing its very essence from the annals of existence.

The effect was profound. As a result the Heavenly Way, stood motionless at the battlefield, devoid of any purpose or instinct. Its consciousness had been clouded, its abilities nullified, and its willpower and instincts extinguished. Zenith Heaven Emperor had achieved an absolute victory, reducing his opponent to a mere shell of its former self.

However, he still was not happy with this outcome!
