Chapter 732
by fanqienovelChapter 732: The Old and the New Take Their Places
“Boom, boom, boom…”
“Boom…”
“…”
The sounds of the world gradually faded, sinking into a peculiar silence.
“Thud!”
A drumbeat suddenly resonated in the stillness.
Time and the Divine Phoenix looked up, and unbeknownst to them, the towering giant had vanished, leaving the Dao Child of the Heavens standing beside the Divine Empress, his expression calm.
The two supreme demons felt a moment of terror; the figure was right there, yet they sensed nothing, his aura nearly non-existent!
Was Qing Liu Sheng still alive?
“Thud!”
The drumbeat echoed, unlike the melodious sacred song, it seemed to be the sound of a heavy strike, and Yun Ye stepped forward, shaking heaven and earth.
He was a humanoid world, pressing down on the Red Heaven realm, his marks gradually etching deep into it; this power did not come from normal cultivation!
It was the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven!
“Ha ha ha!”
“My son truly has the potential to become a True Immortal! He has successfully opened the inner universe; he has transcended this world and secured his place among the immortals. What of True Immortals?!”
The beautiful woman with azure hair laughed towards the sky.
Achieving immortality through the inner universe, even the nine True Immortals would be swept away; this was true unmatched power under heaven! No one throughout history could surpass this!
With Qing Liu Sheng suppressing all, what did the Qing Clan have to fear? The revival of the Divine Monarch?
“You truly managed to open the inner universe… But celebrate too soon; what if it’s thoroughly opened?!”
“The Great Annihilation is at hand; all paths converge into one! Not even the Future Dao Law can escape this; the Divine Empress intends to bury everything!”
Nizi Clan’s Daoist Lord roared.
“Qing Liu Sheng, come quickly and join us in striking against the Divine Empress! Otherwise, even if you slay us, how will you escape her reckoning?”
The two Daoist Lords successively sacrificed the unbeatable elders, unleashing the powers of the Dao Classics, driving the Royal Path Extreme Weapon and the Heavenly Crown Artifact alongside Tong Xuan Daoist Lord to the central area.
They sensed the severity of the Great Annihilation, daring not to hold back any longer, even preparing to incite Yun Ye, dealing with him later if need be!
First, survive this calamity!
“Liu Sheng, make your move; the Divine Empress will surely target you after eliminating the supreme demons and celestial clans. Facing the celestial clans is far easier than facing the Divine Empress!”
“First, slay the Divine Empress!”
Qing Kong spoke up.
She sensed that the situation was off; the Divine Empress seemed completely unconcerned with stopping Qing Liu Sheng. Had the two reached some sort of agreement?
But then…
With Qing Liu Sheng wielding the Qing Sky Dao Classics, Countless Dao Classics, and Nine Lives Dao Classics, even if he had just opened the cave heaven, his strength was already enough to reach the supreme level!
Once, a celestial clansman wielded the Countless Dao Classics to annihilate the world; now Qing Liu Sheng could do the same and might even think it was nothing extraordinary.
“Divine Empress, thinking you can wipe out all threats at once is simply naive!”
“The Great Annihilation has begun! Is your power truly enough?”
The Divine Phoenix and the Master of Time did not wait for Yun Ye to respond; their target was Yun Ye, and they would not feign kindness, tainting their own will.
The two supreme demons joined forces, using their strongest powers, their half-divine rules!
Unlike time, the Divine Phoenix’s half-divine rule manifested as a golden flame that burned everything. Although it could not counter the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow, it could still ensure that her power did not drastically drop.
At this point, the Master of Time could care less about the ensuing damage and could only don a golden fiery cloak to confront the Tai Xin Bell of Tomorrow.
The Divine Phoenix also accepted the boost from the time rules, entering high-speed time and space, both rushing towards Shui Wuge.
The nine Holy Path artifacts were fully revived, blocking the two supreme demons.
The Longevity Sword struck down, reviving the dead, and bringing ruin to the victors; life and death intertwined. This pinnacle-level Heavenly Dao sacred artifact could suppress ancient monarchs.
Yet, facing the two supreme demons, even with the other eight sacred artifacts assisting, it quickly dimmed and was covered in golden flames, melting away.
It was destroyed, cascading down with golden flames, vanishing into the entire Red Heaven realm.
The Water Dragon Song roared, transforming into a giant dragon, swallowing the Divine Phoenix, using its Water Element to suppress her. However, its body quickly began to turn red, boiling from the inside, ultimately exploding into countless meteors raining down.
Artifact after artifact shattered, only able to stall for a brief moment.
But as the Great Annihilation approached, this brief delay drove the two supreme demons mad. They roared in unison, showcasing their supreme power.
The Divine Phoenix no longer cared, her divine blood evaporating completely, summoning a phantom of the World God, a Phoenix of the utmost golden-red nobility.
Among the four World Gods of the Red Heaven realm, there existed one dragon and one phoenix—these were the origins of the dragon and phoenix bloodlines in the Red Heaven realm.
The Phoenix let out a long cry, unleashing flames that spread in all directions, targeting everyone, including Shui Wuge, the Daoist Lord of the celestial clans, and the Master of Time.
“If you refuse to use your full strength, then perish!”
The Divine Phoenix paid a great price and naturally sought equal rewards; her flames soared once more, taking on a form beyond mere combat.
Wherever the flames went, everything exploded. Whether in the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven or the Dao Domain, a single spark ignited endlessly, rapidly spreading.
The powers wielded by the Daoist Lords and Shui Wuge not only failed to suppress the flames but instead increased their spread, turning the insides of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven into nothingness, clashing with the Great Annihilation.
When faced with the Great Annihilation, the flames finally halted, collapsing under pressure. Yet, they remained indomitable, burning upon the Grand Thousand Giant Python.
The terrifying flames pierced through the Grand Thousand Giant Python’s flesh, causing it to writhe in agony.
Demonic power suppression proved meaningless; the injuries could not be healed, and the flames could not be resisted.
“What kind of fire is this?!”
The Grand Thousand Giant Python roared, attempting to leap up, using the Great Annihilation to complete its final body tempering, but was interrupted. The flames burned differently from the Great Annihilation; they did not grow weaker, leaving no time for adaptation.
“Of course, this is the Indestructible Phoenix Fire, the power of the ancestral god. Even if it is not on par with my true form, it is enough to burn the world and reduce everything to dust!”
“Divine Empress! Let me shatter your last glorious illusion!”
The Divine Phoenix cried out.
The flames coalesced, surrounding the Divine Empress, ready to graciously send her off into oblivion!
Shui Wuge watched everything unfold, her expression calm, her eyes reflecting the entire Red Heaven realm. She pierced through the empty void of the outer universe, gazing down upon the thriving Red Heaven Nine Continents.
Above the Nine Continents, countless people looked up at the fierce battle. They saw nothing; the Nine Continents were protected by an unparalleled formation, aided by numerous cultivators.
Although the heavens and earth shook, the dimensions shrank sharply, and time and space were continuously shattered, with various strange phenomena reappearing, the Nine Continents remained a pure land, shielded by a fragment of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven and the supreme formation.
Without the protection of the cave heavens, the scale of a battle between supreme demons would have been enough to cleanse the surface, even if it took place in the outer universe.
Her power should have been stronger!
“From now on, it’s up to you, brother!”
Shui Wuge said softly, turning her back to Yun Ye. Her eyes and body were enveloped in countless lights, and the sacred song that had been extinguished under the heavy pressure of the Yin and Yang inner universe began to play once more.
The soaring sacred song surrounded Shui Wuge, allowing her to unleash her final brilliance.
“Wait, Wuge!”
Yun Ye reached out to stop her.
As long as she sealed herself on the Heavenly Path and asked Red Heaven for assistance, she wouldn’t have to die. In the future, she only needed to eliminate the span of heaven rules…
“I’m tired and quite satisfied. Living too long is truly not good; I’ve lost the passion and emotions of the past! I once admired my invincible brother, who seeks to create a New Heaven, but standing in the same position makes the burden feel so heavy. Our enemies are too many, far too many, with no end in sight.”
Shui Wuge shook her head, rejecting Yun Ye’s thoughts. She naturally knew that with the power of the True Immortal Mother, she could live countless more years.
But what would it all mean? She was already weary; her brother could continue on, fearless, but she truly could not.
She was just an ordinary little girl, unable to help her brother at all.
The light reached its peak, completely engulfing her body, but all the top-tier cultivators present, possessing the Divine Eye, saw the truth…
An ordered rule intertwined; all of Shui Wuge’s powers concentrated.
Then, she showcased a technique that took her ten thousand years to complete on her own.
The Reverse Great Annihilation technique!
“Singularity! Big Explosion!”
Centered around Yun Ye, the last power of the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven exploded and spread forth. In a fleeting instant, all fluctuations aligned almost perfectly with the Great Annihilation, differing only in Yin and Yang, in collision and opposition.
Boom!
The golden flames that surrounded Shui Wuge and Yun Ye were dispersed by the massive explosion. The Divine Phoenix and the Master of Time bore the brunt, suddenly propelled by an unstoppable force toward the approaching Great Annihilation, moving at such speed that they had almost no time to react.
One second…
Exactly one second, the two powers would collide and annihilate, prematurely igniting the ultimate power of the Great Annihilation, erasing all existence!
Dao Classics, rules, Master of the Royal Cave Heaven—everything that could not transcend was destined for destruction!
“Ahhh! Divine Empress!!!!”
The Divine Phoenix roared wildly, her power surging as she exerted everything to resist the shockwave of the “Big Explosion”—their final hope!
Only this one hope!
Break through the explosion and reach beyond the area of annihilation!
Yet, this power was nearly impossible to withstand, especially now, as the Divine Phoenix launched an attack on everyone, with her strength heavily depleted!
This was the Divine Empress’s deadly strike!
——
The Great Annihilation collided with the Big Explosion, forming a sphere that instantly obliterated, all powers mutually canceling… the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven vanished!
The shadow that had enveloped the Red Heaven realm and covered the three heavens left no trace behind!
