If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1097 Disappointment
Faced with the Heavenly Emperor's question, the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor remained expressionless and retorted, "Since you don't know what Chaos holds, how dare you remain here? I'm giving you one last chance to leave Chaos; consider it advice from a senior to a junior."

The Heavenly Emperor sneered, "Is this advice, or a lack of confidence?"

boom--

A terrifying aura that dominated the heavens and earth erupted from the Heavenly Emperor's body. He stood up and took a step forward. The Heavenly Dao's fortune condensed behind him into a divine and powerful golden dragon, which roared at the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor with bared fangs and claws.

Nine Yang Divine Ancestor narrowed his eyes, secretly shocked, not expecting the Heavenly Emperor to be so powerful.

Is this person really a newly enlightened saint?
The Nine Yang Divine Ancestor, who had been somewhat wavering, made up his mind at this moment.

We must conquer Chaos and seize the great fortune that may surpass the Primordial Chaos True Saint Realm!

The Nine Suns Divine Ancestor's gaze changed, and the environment of the Lingxiao Palace suddenly changed. They arrived in the void, with nine bright suns appearing behind him.

The two terrifying holy forces have merged together, and they have carved out a battlefield, far removed from the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Emperor aims to protect the Heavenly Dao, while the Nine Yang Divine Ancestor aims to preserve it.

Without knowing where that great opportunity was, the sages decided to preserve the Heavenly Dao for now and simply seal away the Heavenly Dao Sage.

A great battle between saints has thus broken out!
……

Lu Lingjun felt as if she had a very long dream, so long that it felt like she had experienced a vast life.

She witnessed the evolution of Hongmeng, the peak of Hongmeng, a level of prosperity that even the Heavenly Dao could not yet achieve. Yet, this Hongmeng was still destroyed, and she witnessed an unprecedented war.

Although she couldn't see clearly and could only observe from afar, she was certain that it was related to a sage.

Only a sage possesses the power to destroy the primordial chaos.

After the collapse of the primordial chaos, a figure arrived and established the Heavenly Dao upon the shattered primordial chaos.

Lu Lingjun's understanding of the Heavenly Dao was completely overturned. Since ancient times, the creation of the Heavenly Dao has been linked to the Heavenly Court, because the Heavenly Dao was created by the First Heavenly Emperor. All living beings have always revered the Heavenly Dao, and immortals and gods have always respected the Heavenly Emperor.

But now, that's not the case.

The Heavenly Dao was indeed created by the Heavenly Emperor, but she could see that the Heavenly Dao was merely a transformation of the primordial chaos. Even without the Heavenly Dao, life would continue to be born from the primordial chaos.

Having been through so much in the mortal world, she couldn't help but speculate about the reasons for the destruction of Hongmeng.

Lu Lingjun was exhausted from watching. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a shattered sky covered with crimson clouds, with clusters of black flames falling like rain.

That's an evil black flame!

The White Spirit Demon Emperor was still asleep, resting on Lu Lingjun's shoulder.

Lu Lingjun turned her head and saw a huge black pillar of energy in the center of the celestial realm, piercing through the sky and breaking through the sea of ​​clouds, with terrifying figures surging inside.

She saw many immortals and gods in the distance, entangled by evil black flames. Some of them had already awakened, while others were still in an illusion.

All the scenes seemed so hopeless, but Lu Lingjun was numb, her state of mind unchanged.

until……

She saw evil black flames sprouting from the palm of her right hand.

"Is everything going to end...?"

Lu Lingjun murmured to herself, her tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

She suddenly thought of someone, and a surge of strength welled up within her, quickly sweeping away her negative emotions.

There is still hope!

Lu Lingjun turned around, hoping to see that person, just like before, who would always appear whenever she was in dire straits. Unfortunately, no matter which direction she looked, she couldn't see that person.

The Celestial Realm was attacked by the Evil Yin-Yang Array, causing the plane to collapse and its fortune to dissipate. The mortal realm fared even worse, with cracks appearing in the spacetime of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Great Dao Domain, and the various mortal realms, allowing endless enemies to invade.

There are humans, demons, monsters, and countless ghosts, all of whom are forces from other realms. They came here on the orders of the sage to slay demons and monsters.

In their eyes, the Way of Heaven is an evil source that threatens the world and must be annihilated, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Zhongtian was also in great chaos.

Ji Xiaoyu stood on the rooftop, looking down at the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm. Everywhere there were figures fighting, and in the distance, terrifying black rifts appeared in the sky, from which enemies kept emerging.

She faces enemies not only from beyond the heavens, but also from within.

Many disciples were bewitched by the evil black flames and began to harm their fellow disciples. She even saw her beloved disciple laughing wildly amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Ji Xiaoyu had always thought of herself as very strong, but the current predicament was overwhelming her. This time, she truly saw no hope. Everything she cherished was being destroyed, and an unknown enemy was closing in.

With her abilities, she could naturally sense the changes in the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Fortune, which was an unprecedented chaotic situation.

At that moment, she finally understood why Gu An, despite his immense strength, had to conceal his identity and live in the mortal world; the dangers beyond the Great Dao were beyond her comprehension.

"saint……"

Ji Xiaoyu looked into the distance, her eyes filled with confusion, and murmured to herself.

After listening to the teachings in the Lingxiao Palace, she began to set her sights on becoming a saint. However, becoming a saint required an immeasurable amount of time.

Now, time waits for no one.

Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath, and the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Image appeared behind her. No matter how cruel reality was, she would not sit idly by and wait for death. Even if it meant death, she would fight with all her might.

……

The beginningless realm.

An Zizai, dressed in a black robe, floated in the air, with a black dragon formed by evil black flames encircling his body. He looked down at the boundless mountains and rivers with a cold gaze.

A figure appeared out of thin air in front of him; it was Wu Xie, An Zizai's most beloved junior.

Wu Xie remains the pillar of Wu Shi and the goal that younger disciples strive for; he has not been affected by the evil black flames.

He looked at An Zizai with a furrowed brow and said coldly, "Grandmaster, if you do not turn back from the wrong path, even if you intend to harm Wushi, I will do everything in my power to kill you."

When he said these words, he couldn't hide his murderous intent at all, and he looked even more evil than An Zizai.

At this moment, the Boundless Realm was in chaos, with many disciples beginning to kill each other.

An Zizai looked at Wuxie with a half-smile and said, "Don't you really feel a little bit of resentment? You are the most talented and insightful disciple in the history of Wushi, but did your master really teach you seriously?"

Wu Xie raised his hand, conjuring a large black blade; his killing intent had become tangible.

"No matter how strong my comprehension is, the patriarch has no obligation to treat me with all his might. I am where I am today thanks to him. On the contrary, you are his most valued grand-disciple. Why do you feel resentful? Why can't you resist the temptation?"

"Grandmaster, you shouldn't have done this. I'm very disappointed in you."

As Wu Xie finished speaking, his magical power suddenly erupted. He moved above An Zizai's head and slashed down with a powerful and heavy blow.

Boom!
The mountains and rivers below were cleaved apart, and billowing dust rose up as if to shatter the heavens.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Xie and An Zizai transformed into two streams of light and collided violently, the aftershocks of their magical power forming concentric waves that shook the heavens and the earth, creating a tremendous spectacle.
