Chapter 730: Sacrifice and Great Battle

“Come at me!”

Shui Wuge opened her eyes, radiating the spirit to face the world.

The entire Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven was collapsing, tearing and compressing the four supreme demons and four Daoist Lords into the final singularity of collapse.

This was the Great Annihilation, covering three heavens and shrouding the Red Heaven realm; they had no chance of escape!

To survive, they must carve out a path before the final annihilation arrives, or stop the Great Annihilation!

The simplest way to carve out a path is to directly slay Shui Wuge’s Conceptual Body, causing her to lose control over the cave heaven, thereby dispersing the binding of the Great Annihilation, freeing the supreme demons.

As for stopping the Great Annihilation, it could only be achieved through the self-destruction of a supreme demon, forcefully halting the enormous energy collapse—this was nearly impossible!

“Boom!”

The end had come; this was the ultimate power of the Red Heaven realm, somewhat similar to a ‘singularity,’ but fundamentally different.

The power of annihilation destroyed everything in its path, disassembling all material energy into nothingness, stripping away all possibilities.

The first to be affected by the Great Annihilation were the two Masters of Time. Their powers were abruptly severed, forced to return from the “past” and “future” to the “present,” as two mystical time fish merged into one, doubling their presence.

Yet, the Masters of Time felt no joy; instead, they exhaled massive amounts of time power, attempting to again slip into the past and future.

But the past and future had been shattered by the Great Annihilation and could not be traversed!

“Time has been cut off; I can no longer stand on either side of the past or future to evade interference. To die at this moment is to truly die!”

The Master of Time felt a surge of horror; the strength of the Great Annihilation exceeded expectations. He had initially believed standing between past and future made him untouchable.

Now, he realized he had been overly optimistic. The Great Annihilation was the culmination of countless paths into one, and both time and space were destined for destruction—there was no evading it!

“The Great Annihilation is indeed powerful, but the price is one the Divine Empress cannot bear! The power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven will rapidly consume itself, unable to resist the span of heaven rules; she is undoubtedly doomed, and even the Red Heaven power won’t change the outcome!”

“Everyone, take action! As the Great Annihilation continues to collapse toward the center, the difficulty of halting it will increase exponentially; even one supreme demon self-destructing may prove futile!”

The bloodline of the Divine Phoenix revived, and the phantom of the World God gradually emerged. It took on a golden-red shape, opposing the aura of the Divine Phoenix.

He saw a glimmer of victory and began to prepare to seize the fruits of triumph!

“Hahaha, I feel it—the supreme mystery!”

The Grand Thousand Giant Python was not surprised; instead, it rejoiced.

Unlike the Divine Phoenix, which possessed some mastery of Spirit Law, the Grand Thousand Giant Python’s thought processes defied conventional understanding as it swam through the Great Annihilation, with countless forces of order striking its body, leaving it wounded, but quickly healed by an inner glow, seemingly rising to another level.

It harnessed the power of annihilation to refine its body, seeking to reach greater heights, completely unaware of the consequences that awaited it at the end!

Perhaps it believed its physical form to be peerless, impervious to death, thus embracing a stance without prohibitions.

Watching the Grand Thousand Giant Python revel in the pleasure of physical enhancement, the Divine Phoenix let out a loud cry and laughed, “What a splendid sacrificial pawn!”

With such a demigod resisting the edge of annihilation, the Great Annihilation naturally needed to eliminate the Grand Thousand Giant Python to continue its advance; progress would undoubtedly slow down.

“Heaven helps me!”

“Divine blood revives! Power comes!”

“Masters of Time, we step over his corpse to annihilate the Divine Empress!”

The Divine Phoenix spread its wings, flames transforming into a golden-red hue, exuding supreme majesty, and directly leveraged the powerful gravitational collapse to charge toward the peerless empress at the center!

“Do not hold back even a bit!”

“At the last moment of the Great Annihilation’s collapse, its power will peak, and even the rules in this area will lose their meaning and be directly devoured.”

“No matter if it’s Dao Classics, demigods, or the Master of Heaven’s Cavern, anyone at the center will be crushed directly.”

The Master of Time ceased to be silent, reminding all he observed.

Dao Classics represent the possibility of becoming a True Immortal; after being crushed, they can be born again, but demigods or Royal Path deities do not have that privilege—they will die completely.

He did not wish to die, therefore he exerted all his strength, aligning himself with the cosmic collapse, drifting downward as the rules of time accelerated around him. He stood at the peak in the “present,” the first to rush toward Shui Wuge, moving with rule-level incredible speed.

Boom!

The Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, though covered in obstacles, could not hinder the long distance of time and space in front of the Master of Time; everything was torn apart.

The entire Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven was collapsing, unable to contain the Master of Time’s attack!

The Divine Phoenix also took action; golden-red flames burned, subtly advancing toward the absolute rules. Shui Wuge’s nine holy artifacts surrounded her, aided by the three major formations, but her power still waned, destined to be dismantled sooner or later.

“It’s time to return the power; Divine Empress, please win this war!”

The power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven was divided and occupied by countless cultivators, becoming their Authority of Honored Positions; at this moment, they burned that power, returning it entirely.

The three Masters of the Divine Court believed that the top-tier cultivators of the Red Heaven realm would not accept Tomorrow Dao and would not be willing to sacrifice everything.

But was reality truly that?

“Of course, not everyone fears death, willing to stop at nothing for their own longevity!”

“After ten thousand years, even though Tomorrow Dao has flaws and cannot reach perfection, it is the closest we have to it, making one willing to face death without reservation—tomorrow will prevail, and fate is on my side in the New Heaven Celestial Empire!”

Zhao Yang’s body ignited in flames.

“You!”

Tong Xuan Daoist Lord found himself speechless, his expression turning grim.

He could see that Zhao Yang had practiced the Nine Lives Dao Law and Limitless Dao Law while possessing fragments of cave heaven, making his strength unassailable. Even the Master of Heaven’s Cavern could be suppressed; he was indeed one of the pinnacle figures in this world.

Yet this remarkable figure abandoned his Moon Clan name, becoming one of the ten Divine Officers of the Heavenly Stem with a code name, and now even directly sacrificed himself.

All for the longevity of the Celestial Empire!

This comparison made him feel inferior, but he remained resolute, focused only on the pursuit of longevity, not overly concerned about the opinions of outsiders. The Dao Classics circulated the cave power, the Xuan Clan’s Heavenly Crown Artifact floated in midair, and the Order Chains resisted the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow as the onslaught began!

“Get out of the way!”

Tong Xuan Daoist Lord roared, crushing Zhao Yang’s body, but Zhao Yang merely laughed. He had indeed died, but he died with ease and serenity.

His soul turned to face the sky, where the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow shone brightly over the Red Heaven realm. Even though his soul might dissipate in the process, his form shone brilliantly enough to drive Tong Xuan Daoist Lord into a furious rage, unleashing tremendous power to shatter everything.

In that brief moment,

An unparalleled vast wish surged into the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow, causing its power to soar. Strands of Order Chains wrapped around the Xuan Clan’s Heavenly Crown Artifact, attempting to shatter it, while Tong Xuan Daoist Lord countered with the Mystic Heaven Dao Classics, believing he could avert defeat, but the result was a direct explosion!

The cave techniques held by the Mystic Heaven Dao Classics subtly began to waver!

Had he fallen into a disadvantage?

Tong Xuan Daoist Lord’s face grew increasingly grim. If one were to categorize power levels, they would ascend from spirit energy, magical power, True Essence, authority, rules, to absolute rules. The Dao Classics sat at the level of rules, equating to a Half-step Absolute Rule. However, the difference between rules and absolute rules was ‘infinite.’ In the entire Red Heaven realm, aside from the rules of Future Dao, the Mystic Heaven Dao Classics held the next strongest position.

Theoretically, with a cultivator of his level wielding the Mystic Heaven Dao Classics, he could contend directly with supreme demons. If the Master of Heaven’s Cavern held it, it would suppress all enemies, and even supreme demons would not stand a chance.

Such immense power indicated that even a portion of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven’s strength combined with part of the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow could suppress him. If he were here alone, he would likely be directly subdued—this era’s Master of Heaven’s Cavern was truly terrifying…

“This battle will surely lead to the end of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven; everything will be buried. It seems countless cultivators of the entire Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven have chosen to sacrifice themselves!”

“If not, their power could not have surged to such an extent, directly suppressing the three supreme demons and the three Daoist Lords again!”

Yun Ye sighed inwardly.

Even as strong as he was in this life, he realized that to establish the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, he would need to rely on the enhancement of the Limitless Dao Law and the Nine Lives Dao Law to harness possibilities. This could not be rushed; it could not be accomplished instantaneously. Sacrifices would ultimately be necessary… Even if he established the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, he could not save Shui Wuge.

In the current Red Heaven realm, only one person could save Shui Wuge—’Red Heaven,’ who could confront the span of heaven laws with True Immortal power.

“Liu Sheng, I’ve waited long enough!”

Qing Kong finally arrived, throwing the Heaven Dao Classics from her hand, the classics returning to their source, transforming into seventy-two layers of blue sky that fused into Yun Ye’s body.
