Chapter 2102 : Vanguard at the Cosmic Abyss

"They arrive with startling swiftness."

At the very moment the anomaly manifested at Heaven Abyss [the cosmic boundary between realms], a slight furrow appeared between the brows of Eldrin Chen, his expression flickering with surprise.

Exchanging a glance with Path Master Great Abyss and the others, he spoke, "This is merely the first wave of their vanguard. No Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme ruler of primordial chaos] has yet arrived. It would be best for me to handle this personally."

"Agreed."

Primordial Genesis Path Ancestor gave a slight nod. "We shall remain within the Immortal Court [the celestial seat of immortal governance], marshaling forces for the Heaven Abyss War and, in the meantime, stand guard for Obsidian Abyss Sage Ascendant as he undergoes his cultivation."

"Then, we shall trouble you to make the journey."

Eldrin Chen acknowledged with a nod. Without a moment's hesitation, he stepped through the fabric of space, arriving at the very edge of Heaven Abyss.

Simultaneously, nearly one hundred peerless powerhouses materialized by his side.

These beings possessed world-shaking profundity, all being the various Sage Ascendant [cultivators who have ascended to the cusp of sagehood] and Great Emperor [rulers of vast domains] from across the Southern Abyss Seven Domains.

Among them were figures like Desolate Heaven Quasi-Emperor, Primordial Era Spirit Emperor, and the three Demon Race Saints: Kunpeng [the mythical leviathan-bird], Vermilion Bird [the divine firebird of the south], and Verdant Crow.

Furthermore, there were also the Heaven's Slaughter Quasi-Emperor [a supreme cultivator on the verge of attaining the rank of Emperor], the Heaven's Prison Sage Ascendant [a sage who has transcended the mortal realm and resides in a celestial prison domain], the Fallen Heaven Demon Venerable [a venerable demon lord who has fallen from the celestial heavens], the Myriad Tribulations Divine Venerable [a divine being who has endured countless heavenly tribulations], and the Violet Radiance Sword Extreme [a peerless swordmaster whose blade shines with violet light], among other Sage Ascendant [cultivators who have ascended to the rank of Sage] and Patriarch [venerable clan leaders] from the Southern Abyss Seven Domains [a coalition of seven powerful realms located in the southern cosmic abyss].

At this moment, as the various Sage Ascendant [Sage-level cultivators] gathered, the Heaven's Slaughter Quasi-Emperor [the Quasi-Emperor of Heaven's Slaughter] glanced at Eldrin Chen and could not help but speak, "They have arrived with alarming swiftness. They have launched their assault even before the Heaven Abyss [the Celestial Abyss, a chaotic spatial rift] has fully settled."

"This is merely their vanguard," Eldrin Chen replied calmly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "No Chaos Heavenly Emperor [a supreme ruler who commands the power of primordial chaos] has crossed over yet. They have come only to test our strength."

Hearing his words, a trace of solemnity appeared on the faces of all present.

The Myriad Tribulations Divine Venerable [the Divine Venerable who has endured Myriad Tribulations] pondered for a moment before speaking cautiously, "Since the enemy's Heavenly Emperor [supreme rulers of the heavens] are not taking action, it would be improper for the Chaos [Primordial Chaos] realm powerhouses of our Southern Abyss [Southern Abyss alliance] to intervene."

"However, the forces they have sent are not to be underestimated."

As he spoke, the fabric of the Chaos Heaven Abyss [the Primordial Chaos Heaven Abyss, a volatile spatial boundary] was violently torn asunder. A Chaos Heaven Halberd [a divine halberd forged from the essence of the chaotic heavens] pierced through the void, arriving with a thunderous roar.

Upon that Chaos Heaven Halberd stood over one hundred foreign powerhouses. Each one exuded an aura that seemed to dominate the Myriad Heavens [the countless celestial realms], possessing a nearly invincible presence.

"Over one hundred Great Emperor [supreme rulers, each commanding vast cosmic power]."

At the first sight of these figures, a slight frown creased Eldrin Chen's brow, and a trace of coldness flickered in his eyes.

The strength of the Northern Abyss Foreign Realm was indeed extraordinary. This was merely a vanguard force, yet they had dispatched a full hundred Great Emperor-level powerhouses.

One must understand, within the entire Southern Abyss Seven Domains, even including the newly formed eighth Primordial Domain, the total number of Great Emperor-level existences barely approached two hundred.

Considering this, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to the assembled group and said, "No Sage Ascendant has come. It seems their purpose this time is to deliver a show of force, to intimidate us from the outset."

"A show of force? They must first possess the means to back such a threat!"

Heaven's Slaughter Quasi-Emperor spoke, a glint of icy intent flashing within his eyes.

At that very moment, the hundred-plus Great Emperor from the Northern Abyss Foreign Realm finally descended.

The leader, astride a war spear that carried him through the air, was the first to set foot upon the southern shore of Heaven Abyss. His gaze swept across the surroundings, radiating an aura that seemed to scorn all opposition. "Insects of the Southern Abyss," he declared, his voice ringing with imperious authority, "we have finally arrived."

"Submission and trembling shall be your only choices."

"Arrogant fool!"

The brows of the Sage Ascendant present furrowed slightly, a flicker of killing intent surfacing in their eyes.

However, for beings of Sage Ascendant stature to bully a Great Emperor would be a disgrace to their status. Therefore, none of the Sage Ascendant present made a move.

But the Great Emperor of the Southern Abyss Seven Domains could not restrain themselves. In an instant, several dozen Great Emperor figures materialized within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation].

"Fiends of the Northern Abyss, how dare you run rampant in the Southern Abyss?!"

A peerless Divine Sovereign clad in azure-golden battle armor soared into the void. Gripping a sword of unparalleled lethality, he surged forward with an indomitable will to battle, barring the path of the heroes from the Northern Abyss Foreign Realm.

Eldrin Chen glanced over, a flicker of recognition in his gaze. This Divine Sovereign hailed from the Primordial Domain of Myriad Gods.

Yet Eldrin Chen knew little of him, only that his Daoist title was Taihua Divine Emperor. Uncertain of his exact strength, Eldrin immediately inquired of a disciple beside him, "What is the prowess of this Taihua Divine Emperor?"

"This Taihua Divine Emperor cultivates the Taihua Sword Path and wields the Innate Supreme Treasure known as the Taihua Imperial Sword. His strength ranks among the very peak of Great Emperor,"

explained Ye Verdant Peak methodically from the side. He then added, "However, I have crossed blades with him in the Savage Primordial Domain. My sense is that his power does not match that of the Sword Mystery Great Emperor."

"I understand," Eldrin replied.

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] nodded, then frowned slightly and said, "With only this level of strength, I fear he is no match for that person from the Northern Abyss [a dangerous and mysterious region]."

Just as Eldrin Chen was speaking, the two mighty powerhouses erupted into battle.

It was then that the Taihua Divine Emperor [a supreme sword emperor] soared into the sky, sword in hand, and with unparalleled battle intent, cleaved forward. The sharpness of this single strike could be described as earth-shattering and awe-inspiring, chilling the hearts of many Great Emperor [a supreme cultivation realm] powerhouses present.

Judging by the power of this sword strike, this Taihua Divine Emperor was indeed worthy of being called a top-tier Great Emperor.

Yet, even so, the foreign Great Emperor holding the war spear remained utterly unmoved, even letting out a mocking laugh as he said,

"Your Sword Path [the Dao of the Sword, a profound cultivation art] is nothing special!"

As his words fell, the foreign Great Emperor erupted with power, wielding the Primordial Era Divine Spear [an ancient, supremely powerful spear] to meet the Taihua Imperial Sword [the divine sword of the Taihua Divine Emperor] head-on. In the blink of an eye, he had exchanged over thirty fierce blows with the Taihua Sword Emperor.

With a thunderous boom, the Taihua Divine Emperor was sent flying backward, trailing a river of blood as he crashed into the vast and desolate Depths of Chaos [the primordial, formless void between realms].

"Damn it!"

Witnessing the Taihua Divine Emperor's defeat, the expressions of the several Sage Ascendant [a realm just below the Great Emperor] present shifted slightly, each revealing a trace of solemn gravity.

Eldrin Chen [the protagonist, a powerful cultivator] also furrowed his brow slightly, then turned to the assembled Emperors beside him and inquired, "Who is this person? Why have I never heard of him?"

The Bright Radiance Great Emperor [a powerful sovereign figure] beside him, seeing this, immediately spoke with utmost gravity, "The Northern Abyss Foreign Realm [a distant and largely isolated realm] has very little interaction with us, so we know little of the news from there."

"Moreover, this time, the Great Emperors dispatched by the Northern Abyss Foreign Realm are all newly ascended within the last several tens of thousands of Kalpa Tribulation [immense cosmic cycles] since the Primordial Era [the ancient epoch of creation]. Therefore, our knowledge is indeed limited."

The Desolate Heaven Quasi-Emperor [a powerful cultivator on the cusp of the Emperor realm] nearby then spoke up, "This one's Mortal Path [a specific cultivation method] title is the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor. He is a rising star from the Northern Abyss Foreign Realm, newly ascended eight thousand Kalpa Tribulation ago."

"Legend says he hails from the Evil Spirit Primordial Domain [a primordial land of malevolent spirits] and is counted among the most formidable prodigies the Evil Spirit Primordial Domain has produced in one hundred thousand Kalpa Tribulation. His strength is truly unfathomable."

Eldrin Chen nodded, then offered a rather weighty assessment, "He cultivates both the Fleshly Body Sanctification [the art of refining the physical body to a sacred state] and the Path of Path Mastery [the art of mastering fundamental cosmic principles]. His foundation is remarkably solid, likely having already stepped into a realm comparable to that of a Sage Ascendant Realm [a realm just below the ultimate sages]."

"Hahaha!"

At the same moment, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor laughed wildly and without cease, his voice dripping with arrogant mockery, "The Great Emperors of the Southern Abyss [the southern counterpart to the Northern Abyss] are such feeble weaklings? Could it be that your Southern Abyss truly has no one of worth?"

"If this is truly all you have to offer, I see no need for this battle to continue. It would be better for you to simply kneel and beg for mercy."

"Arrogant fool!"

Witnessing the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor's mockery, someone among the gathered crowd could finally bear it no longer.

A peerless Great Emperor from the Domain of Chaos Firmamental Extreme soared into the air, his voice trembling with fury as he declared, "You vile spawn of the Northern Abyss, how dare you look down upon us, the people of the Southern Abyss!"

"Prepare to die!"

As his words fell, the peerless Great Emperor summoned a supreme heavenly sword that could sunder the cosmos and launched himself toward the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor with annihilating intent.

In that instant, the heavenly sword cleaved through the void, tearing apart the vast expanse of Void Heaven almost in the blink of an eye.

Observing this, Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and remarked, "This direct descendant of the Primordial God of Boundless Cosmos has indeed inherited a measure of his progenitor's talent for spatial manipulation."

"However, facing that Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor, it likely still falls short."

This figure was none other than the direct grandson of the Primordial God of Boundless Cosmos, renowned as one of the Ten Supreme Great Emperors of the Southern Abyss Seven Domains—the 'Ethereal Void Great Emperor'.

Now, the Ethereal Void Great Emperor tore through the formless void, his supreme imperial sword reducing the Chaos Void to nothingness, displaying from the outset an invincible, unstoppable prowess.

Such combat power had already stepped into the realm of an Invincible Great Emperor.

Yet even so, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor merely sneered with cold disdain. He wielded his peerless war spear, sweeping through the Eight Desolations [the eight primordial wastelands at the edges of the cosmos]. Each strike erupted with a power capable of shattering desolate realms.

The two combatants unleashed their full might, clashing for three thousand exchanges within the Chaos [the primordial, formless state before creation]. Finally, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor erupted with a Cosmos-Sundering Power [a divine technique that tears the fabric of reality itself].

From behind his head, seven Great God [a supreme cultivation realm] forms soared into the air, coalescing into a single divine spear of the Great Path [the ultimate Dao or principle]. It shot forth with devastating force, striking the Ethereal Void Great Emperor and utterly shattering his physical body.

"Aaaargh—!"

A wretched scream tore from the Ethereal Void Great Emperor. Despair flooded his features as only his Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core and true essence of a cultivator] remained, wailing in agony as it fled into the boundless void.

"Hahaha! Worthless trash."

Witnessing the defeat and flight of the Ethereal Void Great Emperor, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor erupted into maniacal laughter.

He stood astride the Nine Heavens Above [the highest celestial realms], his form radiating countless divine manifestations that suppressed the Eight Desolations and the Six Harmonies [a cosmic formation representing the union of the six directions]. A divine energy capable of annihilating heavens and sundering cosmos erupted from him.

"This man is no ordinary foe,"

Eldrin Chen remarked, a note of solemn admiration coloring his voice.

As a peerless Path Ancestor [the ultimate pinnacle of cultivation, a being who has mastered a fundamental cosmic principle], Eldrin Chen could perceive with absolute clarity that this Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor had not only cultivated all seven True Spirit Aperture [the foundational spiritual apertures that define a cultivator's potential], but had also forged an exceptionally powerful Great Path Divine Form [a supreme physical manifestation of one's cultivated Dao].

With these two supreme foundations fused into one, the strength of the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor could not be claimed to have truly stepped into the Sage Ascendant Realm [a realm of power rivaling the ancient sages], yet within the domain of those who could rival a Sage Ascendant, he stood as a preeminent figure.

"Trash of the Southern Abyss Seven Domains!"

Having consecutively defeated two formidable foes, the arrogance of the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor swelled to even greater heights.

Brandishing his Primordial Era War Spear [an ancient weapon of immense destructive power], he pointed it contemptuously at the assembled Great Emperor [supreme rulers who have reached the pinnacle of mortal cultivation] from the Southern Abyss Seven Domains, his expression turning icy as he declared.

"You people of the Southern Abyss Seven Domains... is there truly no one of worth among you?"

"If this is all you have to offer—mere dregs and gutter trash—then we of the Northern Abyss consider it a shame to be spoken of in the same breath as you southerners."

At this, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor sneered, "Very well. If single combat is beyond you, I grant you permission to come at me together."

"This Emperor... will take on ten of you at once!"

"You seek your own death!"

In an instant, the various Great Emperors of the Southern Abyss could no longer restrain themselves.

In that very moment, a full ten Great Emperors surged forward. Each unleashed a combat prowess that was peerless within the Eight Desolations, seeking to tear the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor limb from limb.

"A pity,"

Eldrin Chen could not help but shake his head from atop the Heavenly Vault.

As a peerless prodigy invincible within his own realm, Eldrin Chen understood perfectly well in his heart that once the disparity in strength reached a certain threshold, numbers became utterly meaningless.

True Invincible Great Emperors were proud; they disdained ganging up on a peer. Those who attacked were mostly ordinary Great Emperors.

Furthermore, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor was clad in a suit of Innate Supreme Treasure battle armor [a supreme-grade defensive artifact born from the primordial chaos], which could nullify eighty percent of the attacks from ordinary Great Emperors.

Under such circumstances, even a joint assault by ten Great Emperors held only one possible outcome: being picked off one by one.

"BOOM—"

The great battle erupted. The Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor swept through his formidable foes from the Eight Desolations single-handedly, standing alone against the combined might of ten supreme Great Emperors.

Yet the outcome of the battle defied the expectations of the vast majority. Even when joining forces, those ten Great Emperor [the pinnacle sovereigns of the cultivation world] could scarcely bring any significant pressure to bear upon Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

After tens of thousands of fierce exchanges, Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor ultimately suppressed the horde of foes with overwhelming might. He carved a bloody path through their ranks seven times over, consecutively vanquishing seven Great Emperor from Southern Abyss [the southernmost abyssal realm], forging an aura of invincibility through sheer slaughter.

The final three Great Emperor fled the battlefield grievously wounded, their hearts filled with boundless terror.

Even with the Impenetrable [an unshakable state of mind] Dao Heart of a Great Emperor Realm cultivator, being routed one against ten by a peer had brought them to the very brink of spiritual collapse.

Those three Great Emperor retreated behind the crowd, their gazes now etched with unmistakable fear, clearly cowed by the overwhelming Celestial Slaughter [a metaphorical term for divine, annihilating power] majesty of Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

"Who else dares?"

At that moment, Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor stood drenched in blood upon the Heavenly Vault [the celestial battlefield], an aura of boundless slaughter and unbridled arrogance radiating from him.

On the side of Chaos [the primordial, formless state of existence], the expressions of the various Great Emperor shifted dramatically.

It was evident that most of the Great Emperor present had been thoroughly intimidated by the ferocious might displayed by Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

And it was not just the Great Emperor; even the Sage Ascendant [beings who have ascended to a state of profound wisdom and power, a half-step beyond Great Emperors] observing from the Heavenly Vault revealed flickers of astonishment, each privately calculating their chances of victory should they face this Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

"This individual's strength is indeed not insignificant."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, finally turning his gaze to the several Great Emperor [the pinnacle realm of mortal cultivation, representing supreme power and authority] under his command and asking, "Which of you will go and subdue him?"

There were not a few Great Emperor present. Among those under Eldrin Chen's banner were his nine direct disciples, including Ye Verdant Peak, Literature Abyss Lu, Lofty Peak Lu, Fate Extinction, and Serene Bamboo, as well as his five direct descendants like Worthy Path Chen and Worthy Longevity Chen.

Furthermore, there were also two peerless Great Emperor: Imperial Sovereign Jiang and Energy Abyss Chen.

Over the years, the cultivation bases of the various Great Emperor under Eldrin Chen's command, bolstered by the hundredfold time acceleration he provided, had long ago reached the absolute zenith of the Great Emperor realm.

The reason they had not yet advanced to the Sage Ascendant Realm [a transcendent realm beyond Great Emperor, marking the beginning of sagehood] was because cultivating the True Spirit Immortal Treasury [an immensely profound cultivation art that forges an internal world of boundless spiritual energy] was exceedingly arduous; they were all still solidifying their foundations.

Yet, after years of arduous cultivation, the strength of each individual was now incomparable to their former selves. At the very least, their combat prowess rivaled that of an Invincible Great Emperor [a title for a Great Emperor whose power stands unchallenged among their peers].

And being an Invincible Great Emperor was merely the baseline here. Those who had successfully cultivated even two or three True Spirit Immortal Treasury—which of them did not possess battle strength comparable to a Sage Ascendant Realm?

Now, after exchanging glances, it was Worthy Path Chen who spoke up: "Having the junior brothers of the Sacrificial Self Path [a profound and formidable cultivation path focused on self-transcendence through sacrifice] take action would be far too bullying for him. It would be better for this child to step onto the field."

"Very well."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod, granting Worthy Path Chen's request to enter the fray.

Seeing Eldrin Chen's assent, Worthy Path Chen did not hesitate for a moment. He stepped forward, treading upon the void, and arrived at the heart of the battlefield.

"Another fool come to die?"

As Worthy Path Chen advanced, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor let out a cold sneer. His enemy's Primordial Era War Spear pierced the firmament, bearing down upon Worthy Path Chen with crushing force.

Worthy Path Chen responded with serene indifference. With a flick of his sleeve, he summoned his own war halberd, sending it soaring skyward in a devastating arc aimed directly at the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

In that single clash, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor was struck by a titanic force, halting him dead in the void.

"Such immense power... this one is no simple foe."

In an instant, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor dared not hold back. He pushed his seven Great God forms to their absolute limit, channeling the full might of his Great Path [the supreme cultivation art he follows] to its peak.

Worthy Path Chen merely snorted in disdain. From behind his head, six peerless divine forms surged forth, unleashing a divine might capable of shattering heavens and sundering the cosmos.

Long ago, upon his breakthrough into the Great Encompassing realm, Worthy Path Chen had already mastered three True Spirit Divine Runes [divine abilities formed from the power of a True Spirit]. After his subsequent ascension to Primordial One Imperial Lord, Ethan Chen had undergone several Limit-Breaker [a state of transcending one's inherent cultivation limits] trials, ultimately mastering five True Spirit Divine Runes.

To this day, Worthy Path Chen had already cultivated eight divine runes.

After Eldrin Chen returned from the Heavenly Furnace Grotto-Heaven, he used Chaos Rare Treasure as material to forge a batch of Innate Supreme Treasure. These Innate Supreme Treasure were bestowed by Eldrin Chen upon his disciples and old friends.

As the direct son of Eldrin Chen, Worthy Path Chen received six of these Innate Supreme Treasure, using them to cultivate the Six Great True Spirit Divine Forms.

In truth, Worthy Path Chen could have cultivated a seventh True Spirit Divine Form.

The reason he did not break through was that he left one divine form slot blank, preparing for the future cultivation of the Ultimate Divine Form known as the 'Returning Abyss Divine Form'.

After all, with Eldrin Chen holding the Returning Abyss Pearl, it was highly likely he could later assist Worthy Path Chen in cultivating the Returning Abyss Divine Form.

Even so, relying on the Six Great True Spirit Divine Forms and empowered by the Ultimate Divine Rune 'Chaos', Worthy Path Chen's strength had long surpassed the limits of a Great Emperor and fully stepped into the Sage Ascendant Realm.

Now, Worthy Path Chen rode the Heavenly Halberd across the sky. With his first move, he unleashed supreme divine power capable of sweeping through the Six Harmonies, engaging in the most intense clash with the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

This was a battle where both sides poured forth nearly their full strength. There was no retreat, no flight—from the outset, it was a duel to the death, radiating an aura of invincible resolve.

"Slay—!"

In the frenzied climax of the slaughter, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor was nearly maddened by the bloodbath, erupting with a combat prowess that bordered on confronting a Sage Ascendant [a cultivator who has ascended to the penultimate stage before true sagehood].

Yet, Worthy Path Chen remained steadfast and methodical. The Heavenly Eye [a mystical third eye that grants profound perception] between his brows continuously Insight [to perceive the fundamental truths and weaknesses of all things] everything, laying bare every flaw and opening in the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor's defenses.

Most terrifying of all, Worthy Path Chen had actually used his own Heavenly Eye as a foundation. He fused it with the power of the Insight divine patterns and, aided by his Innate Supreme Treasure [a treasure born with the wielder, possessing unparalleled potential] the Heaven-Observing Mirror, cultivated the supreme divine form known as the 'Insightful Heavenly Eye' [the All-Seeing Celestial Eye].

This divine form could discern the grand from the minute. It inherently Insight the weaknesses of any foe. Furthermore, bolstered by the Chaos Divine Form [a foundational divine form representing primordial chaos], it was amplified into a Half-Step Ultimate Divine Form [a divine form nearing its ultimate, perfected state], undergoing a metamorphosis of extreme power.

Now, the Insightful Heavenly Eye could perceive every aspect of an opponent's true strength and emptiness. All feints and deceptive moves of the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor fell utterly flat, and every vulnerability was laid bare before Worthy Path Chen's gaze.

Under such circumstances, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor felt constrained at every turn. The true intent behind nearly every one of his strikes was laid bare to his opponent, yet he had no solution. He was forced into a direct, ultimate clash of brute force.

After little more than three thousand exchanges of such intense battle, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor could endure no longer. He erupted with the absolute limit of his combat power, determined to settle life and death with Worthy Path Chen in a single, decisive confrontation.

Behold, the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor struck with his full might. He spared no effort, driving the power of his seven Great God [a powerful cultivation realm] forms to their absolute extreme. He even briefly fused them together at great cost, unleashing the most potent strike of his entire life.

"Perfect timing."

Facing the Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor's utter descent into madness, Worthy Path Chen remained utterly unmoved. Instead, a faint smile touched his lips.

As if he had foreseen it, he soared into the air. He then merged the six Great God forms into one, transforming into a Great Path Sword that pierced through the heavens, thrusting directly towards Heaven-Slaying Great Emperor.

The power of this clash from both sides surpassed a certain extreme, causing even many of the present Sage Ascendant to change countenance. Some Top-Tier Sage Ascendant revealed traces of solemn gravity.

Such ultimate forces colliding instantly tore the Vast and Boundless Chaos into nothingness. A blinding radiance erupted, forcing many of the powerful spectators present to shield their eyes.
