[1] Chapter - 1: Inheritance of God Emperors (Part 1/3) Somewhere in the endless cosmos, the void stretched endlessly in every direction, swallowing the faint light of distant stars. In that silent darkness, a lone man floated, blood dripping from his torn body. His pale skin was marred by countless cuts, and his shredded clothes fluttered weakly around him. Behind his head, a massive Dharma chakra of red and gold rotated slowly, forged from metallic ki and burning like a miniature sun. A ribbon of red ki hovered around his waist, circling him like an obedient serpent. His long white hair drifted behind him, swaying with the faint, nonexistent breeze of the void. Even with his breathing uneven and his hands trembling around his spear, his eyes burned with defiance. He refused to bend. Across from him floated a demon. Humanoid in shape, yet radiating an oppressive violence that distorted the very space around him. His skin was pale and soaked in blood, though it was impossible to tell whether it belonged to him or his enemy. His own Dharma chakra burned behind his head, a swirling crimson sun, while his violet ki ribbon twisted around him like wild lightning. Red hair flared above him, defying gravity, glowing with demonic energy. In his hand, he held a sword engraved with ancient runes that pulsed with forbidden power. They stared at each other—two beings who had already fought past the limits of life. Both were at the edge of their death. The demon grinned despite the blood spilling from his lips. “Persistent little human. Even at the edge of death, you still dare to glare at me like that?” The man wiped blood from his mouth and tightened his grip on his spear. “You speak too much. Save your breath. You’ll need it when you’re crawling in the abyss.” The demon laughed, the sound echoing unnaturally in the empty void. “You won’t survive another exchange. Your body is already cracking.” “Come break it, then,” the man said quietly. They vanished at the same instant. A moment later, their weapons collided with a thunderous explosion that shattered the void like brittle glass. Cracks spread across space, glowing faintly before bursting into fragments. Every exchange of blows created shockwaves powerful enough to vaporise drifting meteors and compress starlight into dust. The man swept his spear in a blazing arc. The demon countered with a vertical slash that ripped open a long tear in the void. Each time their weapons met, stars flickered and died. “Fall!” the demon roared, pouring all his strength into a downward strike. “Not today,” the man growled, deflecting the blade with a violent twist of his spear that sent the demon spiralling backwards. The demon steadied himself and immediately formed hand seals at terrifying speed. A titanic formation appeared above him, a runic circle stretching thousands of kilometres, glowing with crimson light that drowned out starlight. The man narrowed his eyes and began forming the same seals. An identical golden-red formation formed above him. The demon snarled. “Still copying me, human?!” “Yours looked defective,” the man replied calmly. At the same moment, both spoke the same words: “The Heavenly Moon Fall.” Two massive moons materialised above them, each thousands of kilometers wide, glowing with destructive celestial ki. They were hurled forward, colliding at lightspeed. The moment they touched— BOOOOOM! The explosion tore open massive spatial fissures that spread like cracks in the universe. The shockwaves vaporised everything nearby and bent space around them. Moon fragments and molten debris scattered like flaming stars. The demon immediately formed a second seal. Another moon appeared and came crashing down at incredible speed. “Try blocking this one, human!” The man’s eyes sharpened. He infused his spear with all remaining ki, making it blaze white. With one perfect strike, he split the incoming moon into two clean halves. Lava spewed from the severed core, spraying into the void like f
