Fighting: Xiao Yan at full level, leading the whole match

"Boom!"

Countless dazzling flames joined together, gradually forming a colossal furnace of fire with a diameter of hundreds of billions of miles, almost enveloping this vast world.

The moment the rudimentary form of the fiery furnace appeared, all the cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm frowned slightly. Just as they were about to say something, they strangely discovered something amiss.

Because the moment the furnace of flames took shape, the world inside it seemed to be separated from the outside universe.

In that instant, the six Dao Integration Realm cultivators, excluding Xiao Yan, all changed color, because they were horrified to discover that when they were in this fiery furnace, their connection with each other's Great Dao had weakened considerably, as if an invisible force was trying to sever their connection with the Great Dao.

However, whether it was because Xiao Yan's methods were not yet mature or for some other reason, this effect, while present, was not absolute. At most, it would only make their connection with the Great Dao much more difficult.

But even that alone is enough to be alarming.

It should be understood that the reason why those in the Dao Integration Realm can roam freely throughout the universe and are practically immortal is because they have merged with a certain Great Dao in the universe.

Without the support of the Great Dao, how could they possibly unleash their full potential?

Without the Great Dao of the entire universe to rely on, they are nothing more than having ten or even dozens of times more divine power than the creator god.

Now, the moment Xiao Yan's Flame Furnace appeared, they could vaguely sense that being in the Flame Furnace space made it much more difficult to connect with the Great Dao.

This means that, being inside this fiery furnace, it is almost impossible for them to fully unleash their full potential.

Among the crowd, the other Dao Integration Realm cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, while Xiao Chen stood among them, feeling the strange power of the fiery furnace, and was shocked.

"It's the Chaos Furnace!"

"This is Father's Chaos Furnace!"

Xiao Chen's heart trembled.

When Xiao Yan used the Chaos Furnace to kill the Heavenly Evil God, he was no longer an ignorant child. He naturally remembered this scene. He also knew that his father had dominated the Great Thousand Worlds with a unique skill called the Chaos Furnace.

However, in all the years Xiao Yan has been in the universe, he has never encountered an opponent worthy of his use of the Chaos Furnace. He has also secretly kept this move as his trump card and has never used it.

Ten thousand years later, when faced with this most crucial battle, Xiao Yan used the Chaos Furnace without reservation.

And the moment he made his move, he shocked the entire audience.

Because over these ten thousand years, although his cultivation had long since reached its peak, his comprehension of the Great Dao had never ceased.

Many of his conjectures from his previous life's tribulations have gained new clarity after reflection and verification in this life.

Therefore, the Chaos Furnace of today is far more mysterious and unpredictable than the Chaos Furnace of ten thousand years ago.

This can be seen from the destructive aura constantly being forced out of that fiery space.

"This, this is impossible!"

The Great Dao of Destruction converged once more, and a figure shrouded in darkness, exuding an aura of destruction, appeared before everyone—it was none other than the Great Demon God of Destruction.

His bloodshot eyes were staring at Xiao Yan in disbelief, his gaze filled with incredible astonishment.

"You have comprehended the Great Dao of Space and integrated it into your own secret techniques."

The voice of the Great Demon God of Destruction echoed in the fiery furnace, but it also exploded in the ears of all those at the Dao Integration Realm like a thunderclap.

"What?! Xiao Yan has comprehended the Great Dao of Space!"

"Moreover, he was even able to integrate the Great Dao of Space into his own secret technique."

These words shocked all the Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

The Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time are among the most fundamental Daos in the universe. Although the Great Dao of Fire, the Great Dao of Water, and others are also fundamental Daos that constitute the universe, they still differ from these two in many ways.

Therefore, although those who reach the level of gods can have some knowledge of these two great paths, very few can truly comprehend one of them.

To date, there are no more than five creator gods at the levels of the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Time. It is already extremely incredible that Xiao Chen was able to reach the Dao Integration Realm by relying on the Great Dao of Time. However, Xiao Yan actually comprehended the Great Dao of Space while mastering the Great Dao of Fire and integrated it into his own secret technique.

This is truly shocking.

"Hehe, if I hadn't gone this far, how could I have been so confident in stopping you here?"

Xiao Yan ignored the shock on everyone's faces; he had no intention of hiding it when he unleashed this move.

His past experiences taught him that simply comprehending one great Dao was far from enough to reach the Dao Integration Realm.

One must comprehend more of the Great Dao before one can break through to a realm beyond the Dao Integration Realm.

Therefore, after merging with the Dao in this life, he tried out all the existing Great Daos and finally concluded that he also had considerable talent in the Great Dao of Space.

Therefore, although he has comprehended the Great Dao of Time and other Great Daos over the past ten thousand years, his focus has always been on the Great Dao of Space.

Now, he has finally comprehended the Great Dao of Space. Although he is still far from reaching the Dao Integration Realm, his understanding of the Great Dao is comparable to that of a Creator God.

Moreover, with his superior strategic vision, he also incorporated the Great Dao of Space into the secret technique of the Chaos Furnace.

Not only is it the complete Great Dao of Space, but it also contains a small part of the Great Dao of Time. Although he has only comprehended a little of the Great Dao of Time, at most at the level of a World God, it has a huge impact on the Chaos Furnace.

When the Chaos Furnace was formed, the world within it seemed to become its own universe, even the Great Dao was subtly isolated.

The Chaos Furnace of today should perhaps be called the Cosmic Furnace!

Although it was only a very vague prototype, it was already incredibly impressive.

Because this is just the Chaos Furnace targeting everyone indiscriminately. When Xiao Yan uses his divine power and soul to isolate the Great Dao of Destruction, the Chaos Furnace's isolation effect on the Great Dao of Destruction is naturally ten or a hundred times greater than that of other Great Daos.

As a result, the Great Demon God of Destruction, having just merged into the Great Dao of Destruction, was almost unable to perceive the Great Dao of Destruction anymore.

Even with some connection, he found it difficult to fully integrate into the Great Dao of Destruction. In fact, a mysterious and strange power within the fiery furnace directly intercepted this part of the Great Dao, forcing him to revert to his original form.

At this moment, the God of Destruction was filled with despair.

He realized he had been far too careless.

As one of the oldest demon gods, just like the Dark Demon God, he had never felt any threat to his life in all these millennia.

Even in his last battle against Xiao Yan, he was only slightly at a disadvantage.

He never expected that when the righteous faction's Dao Integration Realm cultivators started the war, the first target would be him.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have attacked themselves first under any circumstances.

"Now, I don't even have a chance to escape back to the dark abyss."

An unprecedented despair rose in the heart of the Great Demon God of Destruction. Without the ultimate escape method of transforming into the Great Dao, even if he burned his divine power, it would be difficult for him to escape the encirclement of seven Dao Integration Realm experts.

If there's no way to escape, there's only one outcome: death! "Hahaha, since you want to wear me down, then bring it on!"

The Great Demon God of Destruction suddenly let out a maniacal laugh, and his destructive power was suddenly unleashed to its maximum.

"Fight! Fight! I was born to destroy. Even if I perish, I will take one or two of you with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack one by one the Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

With his divine power burning, he unleashed the Great Dao of Destruction to its extreme, its power even stronger than his previous peak, causing the other Dao Integration Realm cultivators to change color slightly.

"Sword God, you continue to use the power of the Creation God Array to launch long-range sneak attacks. Everyone else, do not engage the Great Demon God of Destruction head-on. Leave the rest to me."

Seeing the Great Demon God of Destruction fighting desperately, Xiao Yan showed no fear whatsoever. In the blink of an eye, his body transformed into a fire giant spanning hundreds of millions of miles, charging into the Chaos Furnace to battle the Great Demon God of Destruction.

With a single palm strike, the billions of miles of space within the Chaos Furnace seemed to converge in his palm, like a vast world falling upon the Great Demon God of Destruction. This caused the Demon God's body to tremble and involuntarily retreat.

At the same time, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Daqian, and Xiao Chen all directly activated their respective Great Daos to assist in the destruction, causing the Great Demon God's strength to drop by nearly 30% again.

On the other side, the Sword God, having fused with a portion of the power of the Myriad Star God Emperor and the Heavenly Mystery Elder, unleashed the terrifying power of the Star River Sword Light as it charged toward the Great Demon God of Destruction.

The combined offensive power of the two main forces was several times stronger than that of the Great Demon God of Destruction at its peak. Under their combined attack, the Great Demon God of Destruction was simply unable to withstand it.

Moreover, his luck was stripped away, the flow of time in his body was occasionally controlled by Xiao Chen, and his body was often entangled by some inexplicable streams of water.

In this state, he is full of weaknesses, and even a brief mistake will make him a target for Xiao Yan and the Sword God.

Soon, he was covered in wounds, then healed himself again with divine power, only to be injured once more.

Soon, his divine power was depleted by more than half, leaving him with only 30% of his peak strength.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The Great Demon God of Destruction was utterly desperate this time.

He had considered that the demonic faction might one day fall, but he never expected that the first great demon god to be killed would be himself.

"Since that's the case, then let me show you the true power of the Great Dao of Destruction!"

The Great Demon God of Destruction let out a desperate roar, and the next moment, his body suddenly swelled up.

The moment his body swelled up, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!"

"The Great Demon God of Destruction is the master of the Great Dao of Destruction. Once he self-destructs, he will unleash the power of the Great Dao of Destruction to an unprecedented extreme."

Many cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm retreated frantically almost instantly.

The self-destruction of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator is not simply a matter of divine power transforming into an incredibly terrifying shockwave.

If that were all, Emperor Xuanyuan's domain alone could block it, but the self-destruction of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator would cause the Great Dao to roar, its power being incredibly terrifying.

Moreover, self-destruction inherently means destruction, and the Great Demon God of Destruction is a Dao Integration Realm cultivator who has mastered the Great Dao of Destruction. If he were to be affected, even other Dao Integration Realm cultivators would be in danger of perishing.

Everyone retreated frantically, but Xiao Yan remained standing in place.

"Father, retreat quickly!"

"Xiao Yan, retreat quickly!"

When everyone saw that Xiao Yan was still standing in the same place, they all spoke anxiously, but Xiao Yan just waved his hand gently.

"It's alright, this self-destruction won't kill me. You guys run first."

As soon as the words fell, the many Dao Integration Realm cultivators felt their connection with the Great Dao instantly become unobstructed again. Although they were worried about Xiao Yan, they did not think he was a fool. So they immediately fled and escaped from this great world in an instant. After a few flashes, they arrived in the void beyond hundreds of billions and trillions of miles away.

At this moment, inside the cosmic furnace, the Great Demon God of Destruction had completely self-destructed, unleashing endless destructive power that raged forth with terrifying might, even more so than Xiao Yan's Flame God's Heaven-Opening Ruler.

However, Xiao Yan stood quietly in place, unmoved, letting the terrifying impact rush through his body.

Faced with this terrifying destructive power, even though a small cosmic furnace rotated on his body, dissipating most of the damage, the remaining power still instantly and severely injured him. His divine body was constantly being annihilated, only to be continuously repaired by the powerful divine energy.

The remaining destructive aftershocks directly annihilated the entire spacetime spanning billions of miles, even tearing apart Xiao Yan's cosmic furnace in the face of this terrifying shockwave.

"Boom!"

To the few Dao Integration Realm experts outside, the endless destructive fluctuations were like a cosmic explosion. In just an instant, that vast world with a diameter of 20 billion miles was directly annihilated by these terrifying destructive fluctuations, and even the void was destroyed into nothingness.

A world with a diameter of 20 billion miles was directly blasted into nothingness in this explosion. Then, the void collapsed, and all matter within a diameter of 100 billion miles was annihilated.

"terrible."

Seeing this scene, the other six cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm felt a lingering fear. If they had fallen into the center of the explosion, they would have been seriously injured, if not killed.

The self-destruction of the Great Demon God was indeed incredibly terrifying.

"Xiao Yan!"

"Father!"

Once the aftershocks of the explosion had mostly subsided, a group of Dao Integration Realm cultivators reappeared on the original battlefield, each of them looking at the center of the explosion with worried expressions.

"Cough cough!"

A soft cough came from inside, which made everyone breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Xiao Yan emerged from within, his once powerful aura now considerably weaker.

"As expected of the Great Dao of Destruction, its strongest burst is indeed terrifying."

In this terrifying explosion, even Xiao Yan's divine power was weakened by a full 30%.

This is considered a serious injury at the Dao Integration Realm level.

However, he was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, his eyes were incredibly bright.

His gaze was quietly observing the center of the explosion of the Great Demon God.

There, the original nothingness was faintly gathering, as if it were being strangely devoured by some force.

At the center of that devouring power, a tiny, indescribably small black dot slowly emerged, recklessly devouring everything in the surrounding starry sky.

"This is... a black hole?" (End of Chapter)
