Chapter 733: The Fall of the Divine Empress, the Road to Becoming a Monarch Reopens!

The Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven was shrouded in dark clouds…

For all the newcomers hoping to improve, the overpowering Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, covering the three heavens, was far too domineering.

To cultivate in the Red Heaven realm, everything would belong to the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, leaving no possibility of becoming a Monarch.

Though the Divine Monarch’s fall scattered his power over the Red Heaven realm, the complete coverage of the three heavens by the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven made it impossible for anyone to ascend to Monarch.

Only by bearing the fortune of the entire human race could one make a wish; in the era of the Dual Emperors, the ultimate victor had to be decided.

In an era with no Monarchs, one must at least be like Shui Wuge, ruling over the Red Heaven realm, her power covering the three heavens, becoming the de facto ruler of gathered fortune.

Shui Wuge had been contemplating how to eliminate the negative influence of the Heavenly Dry Universe and ultimately concluded that complete annihilation of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven was the solution.

With sufficient control, she could gather all the powers of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven and collide them to achieve annihilation, at which point the three heavens would be cleansed!

All would be obliterated, leaving seemingly no trace behind.

Beside her, Qing Kong, chilled to the bone, couldn’t utter a word; she stood on the edge of the Big Explosion, a step away from emptiness!

“They are all dead…”

The unbeatable elders of the Qing Clan felt a shiver and took a step back, not because they feared the power.

But it was the Divine Empress!

Why did the Divine Empress trust Qing Liu Sheng so much, giving the future of the Red Heaven realm to the Qing Clan without hesitation?

Who exactly was Qing Liu Sheng?

“Yes, they are all dead.”

Yun Ye sighed; he still couldn’t stop Shui Wuge.

He had witnessed this scene many times, but in the reality of time and space, he still held onto hope, unable to refrain from speaking out, wishing for Shui Wuge to survive.

Yet seeing Wuge so resolute, he couldn’t utter a single word, only watching as Shui Wuge unveiled her final brilliance.

…

On the ground, all phenomena ceased, leaving only a vibrant echo.

There was no sacred song, nor any falling phenomenon.

Everyone looked up and noticed that the starry sky covering the horizon had quietly vanished.

“Divine Empress!”

Countless hearts raced, feeling a sudden sting, murmuring the name they cared about deeply in disbelief.

“Crash…”

As the Self Three Heavens crumbled, on the land of the Red Heaven realm, whether Honored Beings, True Ones, or Powerful Figures, all the Self Three Heavens they controlled evaporated along with the annihilation of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, their realms plummeting, and the span of heaven rules descended immediately.

“It is the Great Annihilation! Her Majesty the Divine Empress completely consumed the power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven; the Mystic Heaven, Qing Heaven, and Red Heaven have all lost connection!”

Zhānméng reached out, feeling ambiguity enveloping him as he faced the erasure by the span of heaven rules.

Having served as a Divine Officer for thousands of years, his realm now fell to law realms, and he was clearly doomed— the span of heaven rules would not care for his contributions to humanity.

“Your Majesty… has fallen.”

Rou Zhao believed her heart was strong, yet tears streamed down her face.

What a cruel truth this is!

Though she lost the authority granted by the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, her years of training in control remained, and her body, having been elevated to the Order Body, did not perish with the collapse of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven. The Divine Empress severed their connection to it, completely granting her power to them.

Because of this power, Rou Zhao clearly saw that the three heavens were completely empty, all power vanished into a single point.

"To prevent any further impact on the Red Heaven, right? Once, the Divine Monarch calculated that it would take tens of thousands of years for the effects of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven’s owner’s fall to fade."

"Thus, he forged the Holy Path Nine Weapons to suppress the absence of Monarchs for tens of thousands of years and to avoid interference from True Immortals."

"And the Divine Empress, who knew all this, simply gave up on becoming a Monarch to prevent herself from becoming another shadow over the Red Heaven after her death! Now she is clearing the influence of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven from the three heavens, completely paving the way for the Great Dao!"

"Oh, Divine Empress, with you here, how can this world not be at peace?"

Numerous Honored Beings sighed.

Countless White Mist descended, showcasing the final power of the grand Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven.

Shui Wuge had set everything in place; the fragments of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven activated the Time Technique at the cost of disintegration, completely restoring the Self Three Heavens of the cultivators.

All the cultivators were shrouded in White Mist, their bodies and consciousness enveloped in the Time Technique, forcibly completing the Self Three Heavens, and all their powers revived.

These phenomena told the people on the ground one thing.

The Divine Empress has fallen!

The Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven has become a thing of the past!

Gazing at the tranquil horizon, Tiankai couldn’t help but open her Divine Eye, penetrating the three heavens, looking toward the outer universe, "Has everything ended?"

The outer universe had turned into a dead zone!

Although the power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven’s destruction was completely offset, the terrifying destructive capacity left a permanent ‘scar’; the outer universe had become a Super Forbidden Place, centered on the Red Heaven realm, filled with chaotic destruction, where only Monarchs could survive.

Tiankai glanced once, and her eyes cracked, divine blood flowing; she had to shut her eyes.

Her power of the rules of slaughter had already been taken by Yun Ye, and her body had fallen back to the True One level, unable to see the astonishing sight of the outer universe.

“Thud! Thud! Thud!”

The sound of Heartbeat suddenly resonated throughout the Red Heaven, and the atmosphere of brutality and killing intent surged with each heartbeat, sensed by all the cultivators, clearly revealing the origin of the heartbeat and the intense rage within!

“Ugh!”

With a long cry, the golden phoenix seemed to break through the egg of time, birthed from the void. Its body was battered, with deep wounds visible to the bone, almost beyond recovery. These were the scars left behind by mutual conflict, possessing the power of rules that surpassed that of the Divine Phoenix itself.

All paths converge into one!

Every scar drew from its essence, leading it towards the chaos of all paths converging into one. For Qing Liu Sheng, this was a source of power, but for the Divine Phoenix, who only cultivated the Phoenix Fire, it was a curse of death, an inescapable fate; even if it survived, it was just a struggle to exist!

"Master of Time…"

The Divine Phoenix gazed at its golden feathers, reminiscent of the ancient ancestral phoenix, as if it had undergone a transformation.

But it knew this was merely a fleeting illusion, the result of the Master of Time pouring all its power into it.

In the end, they were undoubtedly doomed to die, unless a supreme demon self-destructed. Otherwise, escape was impossible.

But who among the supreme demons would be willing to do so?

Surprisingly, there was one.

The Master of Time’s race was ultimately rational; he knew that the Divine Phoenix and the Grand Thousand Giant Python would never sacrifice themselves for others. If he didn’t act, everything would be buried, leaving no hope. So, he simply self-destructed, establishing a future agreement with the Divine Phoenix for it to revive him.

Whether or not it could be honored, at least it was better than waiting to die, and there was no sense of regret.

“Hmm, what will happen next…?”

In the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Layers, the extraordinary time fish dove down, sinking into immeasurable sleep.

Its true body had died, yet power remained; indeed, the Divine Empress was powerful, as the interference range of the Great Annihilation had killed the past and the future.

However, the Great Annihilation began at the edges of the Red Heaven realm and ended beyond the Nine Continents. The past and future within the Nine Continents remained unaffected.

Its true body had perished, its power plummeting to a freezing point, and the spirit energy of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Layers gradually dissipated due to the end of the law era. It was highly probable that it would remain in eternal slumber, but there was also a possibility that future generations would witness a true flourishing of spirit energy, revitalizing its power and awakening it once more.

There was still a minuscule chance.
