This is so dishonest!

Chapter 519 Severing the Heavenly Connection; The Human Emperor's Martyrdom! [10,000-word update, requesting monthly votes]

On the primordial side, time seemed to stretch out infinitely at this moment, and then freeze.

Whether it was the Taiyi Golden Immortal who was fighting a bloody battle with the demon god's puppet body, or the Daluo Dao Lord who sat in charge of a universe and looked down on the changes of the ages, all the primordial gods stopped all their actions at the same time.

Their gazes, as if drawn by an invisible magnetic force, simultaneously pierced through the endless turbulent currents of time and space and the fog of laws, locking onto the very core of that chaos.

There, a colossal black tree, reaching to the heavens and the earth, took root in the primordial sea of ​​chaos, its branches supporting a brand new "sky".

At the highest point of that "sky," a magnificent, flawless world is slowly "transcending" itself in an unstoppable and incomprehensible manner!

It is breaking free from the shackles of chaos; it is rising above all the heavens and myriad realms!
The eternal and indestructible Dao aura it exudes is so real and so powerful that even some gods with slightly weaker cultivation tremble in their hearts.

"This...this...this must be fake, right?!"

A sword immortal who had just used his immortal sword to behead a chaotic demon beast was struck as if by lightning.

His face was filled with unprecedented horror and bewilderment.

"I...I must be dreaming! Or...I was actually killed by that monster, and what I'm seeing now is just a hallucination before I died?"

On another battlefield, an Asura covered in blood raised his hand and stabbed himself in the chest.

The intense pain told him that what he was seeing was not an illusion.

"Absurd! This is utterly absurd! Those losers who were beaten like stray dogs by the Great God Pangu during the creation of the world... they... they're really going to turn the tables?!"

Incredible and unbelievable thoughts quickly spread across the battlefields of the primordial world.

Although the ancient gods were always wary of the Chaos Gods, deep down they always maintained a sense of superiority stemming from their status as "victors of the Pangu Era".

They believed that no matter how much these remnants of the old era struggled, the final victory would belong to the primordial world that represented the "new order".

But now, the rising [Demon God Realm] before them is like the heaviest hammer, shattering all their pride and confidence!
That true realm represents not only power, but also a completely new "Dao" that can rival the "Pangu Dao"!
Once it is completely stabilized, it means that the Chaos Gods will have the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the Primordial True Realm!

"Where are the cultivators of the True Immortal lineage?! Come quickly and save them!"

Someone uttered a hopeful cry.

"Now is the perfect time for you to 'convert the false into the true' and 'reverse cause and effect'!"

"Use your supernatural powers to tell us that all of this is a fucking fake!"

Seeing that the Chaos Gods were about to overturn the table and "eat at the table" again, the gods could no longer remain calm.

They even began to hope that the True Immortal lineage could turn the tide at this moment.

With supreme supernatural power, he forcibly "denied" the "fact" that had already happened!
However, the corner of Yaochi Jinmu, the "Ancestor of True Immortals" who was entrusted with high hopes by countless deities, twitched slightly at this moment.

Her usually dignified, elegant, and noble face was now filled with a speechless expression that seemed to say, "Are you trying to make things difficult for me?"

【Pangu's cats! Do you guys even know what you're saying?!】

If I truly possessed the ability to 'reconstruct an eternal true realm that was about to be fully formed in the blink of an eye,' would I need to work for the Heavenly Court?'

[I've already plunged into the depths of chaos, reduced those deformed chaos gods to ashes, and then started a new era to become the creator god!]

But despite the complaints, Yaochi is actually planning to give it a try.

She held the warm Kunlun Mirror lightly in one hand and gently supported the radiant innate peach tree in the other. A calico cat yawning was perched on her head as she solemnly examined the ever-transcending [Demon God Realm].

That eternal aura, transcending all heavens and leaping through time and space, is so real and tangible.

Even the surface of the Kunlun Mirror rippled because it could not withstand this Daoist aura.

Especially with the emergence of the Eternal True Realm, the aura of many Chaos Gods has undergone earth-shattering changes!
Their strength is growing at a visible rate.

Forget it, forget it, I'd better not do something so suicidal.

After a brief attempt, Yaochi decisively gave up.

She worried that if this continued, before anything even happened in the Demon God Realm, she herself would be struck by the terrifying karmic backlash and instantly "transformed from truth to falsehood"!

"Meow meow meow~~"

A lazy meow pulled Yaochi back from the brink of madness.

Lu Wu, who was perched atop her head, posing as a "True Immortal Dao Fruit" but was actually the guardian beast of Kunlun Mountain, gently patted Yaochi's head with its furry paw.

Its sapphire-blue cat eyes also gazed at the scene in the mirror, and then it shook its head in a human-like manner.

In the cat's opinion, this was hopeless.

Unless their master can ascend to the heavens in one step, directly skipping the realm of Taiyi Daluo, and attaining the supreme eternal Dao, transforming into the [True Immortal Pangu].

Otherwise, Yaochi's current strength would be insufficient to interfere with a true realm.

At that point, death and the annihilation of one's soul would be the least of one's worries.

The worst-case scenario is that those chaotic demons, using the power of the Eternal True Realm, will nail her true spirit firmly to the concept of "falsehood," effectively sealing her coffin lid.

That would be the worst-case scenario.

Just as the gods of the primordial world were feeling increasingly heavy-hearted because of the "silence" of the True Immortal lineage.

Those Taiyi Daluo who truly stood at the top of the primordial pyramid all composed themselves, their expressions extremely solemn as they gazed into the depths of chaos.

On the flagship of the Time and Space Administration, Nuwa and Fuxi stood side by side, both with their brows furrowed.

"They actually... managed to get it done?" Fuxi murmured, his voice filled with complex emotions.

As the leader of the Heavenly Mystery Path and the god in charge of "blind sniping" in the Primordial True Realm, he had actually witnessed this scene unfold in countless future timeline fragments.

However, when Fuxi first predicted this future, he only considered it as one of countless possibilities.

After all, in the future he predicted, the Chaos Gods still had countless strange and wonderful possibilities of failure.

There are as many as nine different scenarios in which he foresaw those demon gods being tricked by [Yuanshi Tianzun] until they were left with nothing but their underwear!

Therefore, at that time, Fuxi did not actually feel much pressure regarding the so-called "True Realm of Demon Gods" plan.

But now, the demons have overcome all difficulties and managed to create an eternal true world.

Fuxi had to solemnly admit that he had underestimated the cause and effect of creation and the past failures.

"Fellow Daoist, can your Great Dao of Destruction destroy this shattered world before us?"

On the other side, three Daoists, whose auras were equally terrifying, stared at the Demon God's True Realm.

One of them is Vishnu, the "Demon of Life," whose form is hazy, as if composed of the images of billions of living beings.

The other is Brahma, the God of Creation, whose body is surrounded by boundless creative energy.

Both great gods turned their gazes toward Rahu at this moment.

At this moment, Rahu is in an independent demonic realm constructed from endless laws of destruction.

He was dressed in jet-black robes, wielding a god-slaying spear, standing on a twelfth-grade black lotus of world destruction, surrounded by swirling demonic clouds, with billions of celestial demons following behind, chanting songs of destruction in unison.

Rahu's deep eyes merely gazed briefly at the [True Realm of Demon Gods] that was constantly transcending.

Then, he took a step forward.

boom! ! !
This seemingly ordinary step was as if it were stepping on the pulse of the entire river of time!

Suddenly, the turbulent river of time and space came to a standstill!
Immediately afterwards, ten enormous illusory images of Dao Fruits, each radiating a different destructive Dao aura, suddenly appeared behind him!

Some of the fruits of the Dao are as black as ink, filled with ending and deathly silence.

Some of the Dao fruits are filled with blood-red light, brimming with slaughter and tyranny.

Some paths to enlightenment are plagued by calamities, filled with doomsday and despair.

……

Ten illusory images of Dao Fruits appeared out of nowhere, like ten black suns.

Its aura was as deep and boundless as the ocean, terrifying to the extreme, even causing the surrounding space and time to collapse inch by inch under the unbearable burden!

"Those are... the Ten Demons of Zhou Tian?!"

"My God! No wonder he is the Demon Ancestor Rahu! He is indeed a man of great hidden power! He has actually made such profound accumulations in the Taiyi Realm and has completed ten Great Dao Proofs!"

Upon seeing this, the gods of the primordial world instantly showed a look of wild joy on their faces.

Just moments ago they were filled with worry, but in an instant, they were replaced by an unprecedented surge of confidence!

They seemed to see the magnificent scene of the seemingly indestructible [Demon God Realm] being smashed to pieces by the ten Destruction Dao Fruits of Demon Ancestor Rahu!

"Hahaha! With the Demon Ancestor here, what is there to fear from this mere pseudo-realm!"

"That's right! Let's fuck them! Let these chaotic bastards witness the true power of our Primordial World!"

"Isn't it just a true realm? What's so special about it? We live in the primordial wilderness every day, are we proud of it?"

"It's a fake, tear it apart!"

The immense power of the Dao Fruit of the Demon Ancestor Rahu dispelled the gloom in the hearts of the gods.

People gradually regained their rationality and fighting spirit.

Seeing this, the Three Pure Ones smiled and nodded.

The Supreme Lord of Morality's eyes were full of praise: "Not bad, not bad, this is the demeanor that the sacred beings of our Primordial World should have after experiencing countless storms and emerging from blood and fire."

[Lingbao Tianzun] Yu Chen also nodded slightly.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, which were as sharp as unsheathed divine swords: "Adversity is the best way to temper one's Dao heart. After this tribulation, my Primordial World will surely usher in a true transformation."

Taishang turned his head and looked at Xuanqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who sat calmly in the center with a leisurely expression.

He smiled and asked, "Brother, now that the True Realm of Demon Gods has been born, this 'fruit' that we have painstakingly cultivated is fully ripe. Can we start picking it now?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing slowly opened his eyes, which seemed to contain the cause of all fruits and the beginning of all paths.

He stood up.

In that instant, the auspicious clouds above unfolded, and boundless golden light shone forth from them, illuminating the past and the future!

"It's time to take action!"

Xuan Qing's voice was calm and composed, yet it contained an undeniable, supreme majesty that heralded a new era!
He slowly stretched out his hand, palm facing up.

A triangular banner, entirely of a chaotic color, with the endless mysteries of creation and the birth and death of all things inscribed on its surface, silently appeared in his hand.

It is the supreme treasure that holds the power to "destroy all laws"—the Pangu Banner!

The moment the Pangu Banner appeared, a terrifying power, enough to make all the Chaos Gods tremble from the depths of their souls, suddenly erupted!

Xuanqing held the Pangu Banner and stood in the endless chaos.

His clear and divine voice resounded throughout the Three Realms and Six Paths, past and future!

"The sky is not to be feared!"

"No calamity is to be feared!"

"Demons are nothing to worry about!"

The moment he finished speaking, the pure white jade ruyi that had been floating above his head suddenly shone brightly!

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi pierced through the void, transforming into three passages—Heaven, Earth, and Man—leading directly to the True Realm of Demons and Gods!
"Fellow Daoists, follow us to destroy that so-called Demon God's True Realm!"

The Supreme One also emerged from the river of time and space.

He unfolded the Tai Chi diagram, and a golden bridge spanned the endless void, connecting the Chaos World Tree!
With a cold and stern expression, Daoist Yu Chen traveled upstream from the lower reaches of the river of time.

"Having slain three thousand, I alone am supreme!"

Yu Chen stood tall amidst the chaos, his arrogant demeanor, as if he could cleave everything in the world with a single sword strike, was unmistakable!

He raised his hand and swung his sword forward in what seemed like an ordinary gesture!
In an instant, a sword light that reached the heavens and the earth split into three thousand, each sword light locking onto a Chaos Demon God True Spirit who was roaring in the World Tree with unparalleled precision!

"How brave!"

"Sanqing, you've gone too far!"

Seeing that the supreme rulers of the primordial world had joined forces with unprecedented force, all the chaotic demons were completely enraged at this moment!

In the past, we were weak and had to hide from each other when we were beaten. We could only live a life of ease and subservience!

Now, we've already created the [Demon God Realm]!

His strength has increased many times over, and he is about to successfully transcend!
How dare you be so arrogant, chasing after us and attacking us?!

Then all our countless years of enduring hardship and biding our time would have been in vain.
Has our true world been created in vain?!
"kill!!!"

A roar filled with endless resentment and madness resounded from the World Tree!

"All demons, heed my command! Follow me... and engage in battle!"

For the first time, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Spirit carried a hysterical madness!
"Today, either his primordial chaos will perish, or I, the Demon God, will perish!"

~~~~~~
boom! ! !
The entire Chaos World Tree trembled violently at that moment!
Powerful streams of chaotic Dao energy, strong enough to reverse the course of an era, burst forth from the World Tree, transforming into the most terrifying torrent of destruction, meeting the supreme power of the Three Pure Ones!
"Hahaha! Well done! Let me see how you so-called 'new gods' compare to Pangu!"

The Fire Demon God burst forth from the World Tree with a maniacal laugh, transforming into a giant burning with endless demonic flames, and went straight to meet the Phoenix Clan's Supreme Yuan Huang!

"Mouse, you've finally come out."

Yuanhuang and Yuanfeng exchanged a glance, and the two figures instantly merged into one, transforming into a Primordial Phoenix whose wingspan covered countless star fields and whose body was burning with seven-colored Nirvana Divine Fire!
"Today, I will use your Dao fruit to ignite the final flame of my path to enlightenment!"

The phoenix cried out in the heavens, and divine fire and demonic flames collided violently in the chaos!
"Water Demon God! Prepare to die!"

The roar of the First Dragon shook the entire universe!

He, along with the four supreme dragons—Azure Dragon, Yinglong, and White Dragon—transformed into the three thousand weak waters, forming an endless ocean that completely submerged the [Water Demon God] who had just emerged from the World Tree!
"A bunch of reptiles! How dare you challenge the majesty of water?!" the Water Demon God roared.

He stirred up the chaotic waters and turned the tables, becoming the master of the waters.

"Hahaha, Yang Mei!"

"Now that I'm standing right in front of you, how much do I look like I used to be?"

The new generation of [Space Demon God] is full of vigor and ambition.

The appearance of the [True Realm of Demon Gods] has allowed many demon gods to elevate their Dao fruits.

The current strength of the [Space Demon God] is almost equivalent to that of a Primordial Saint.

"Hmph, a fake is a fake, even if it's the Primordial Demon God, it's still a fake!"

Yang Mei's voice was filled with undisguised contempt and disgust.

"Today, I will show you what the true Great Dao of Space is!"

Having said that, Yang Mei no longer concealed her intentions.

He directly revealed his true form.

A hollow willow tree suppressed the void, and countless willow branches transformed into divine chains that lashed out at the space demon god.

"Dreams are the most real eternity."

"And your 'True World' is nothing but a dream that is about to shatter."

Meng Wuyou appeared before the [Memory Demon God] and the [Wisdom Demon God]. The beautiful spider lily in her hand emitted a fragrance so alluring that even the Taiyi Daluo would be captivated by it.

"Gentlemen, why don't you come with me into the dream and take a look?"

"Afraid you won't succeed?"

The Memory Demon and the Wisdom Demon exchanged a smile and confidently stepped into the dream.

"You are Zhen Yuanzi?" the new generation of [Earth Demon God] roared, attempting to draw upon the power of the chaotic earth veins.

Zhen Yuanzi simply smiled and tossed the Earth Book in his hand into the void.

"Fellow Daoist, have you ever heard of the concept of 'a round heaven and a square earth'?"

In an instant, the endless membrane of the earth extended from the Book of Earth, forcibly transforming that chaotic land into a "primordial land"!
Here, he is the sole ruler!
Rahu, Vishnu, and Brahma, the three ancient demon gods, were like tigers among sheep. When they joined forces, they were invincible. No chaotic demon god could withstand a single blow from them!
Even Randeng, the seemingly harmless and unassuming vice leader of the Chan Sect, revealed his supreme Dharma form as the "Infinite Heavenly Venerable"!

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings, fellow Daoist. You are destined to be with my Xuanmen sect. Why don't you stay?"

With a spirit lamp in one hand and a Qiankun ruler in the other, he struck down with the ruler at the demons who were trying to escape!
"Humanity is ours! Hear my command!" "Target—the Chaos World Tree!"

"Charge with us!"

Green, red, yellow, white!

Four great emperors representing the four virtues of wood, fire, earth, and metal appeared in the chaos.

They led not only the heavenly generals, but also the powerful warriors of all races and countless heroic spirits who had followed them throughout the long years.

Four invincible armies, representing the glory of different eras of humanity, surged forth from the passage opened by the jade ruyi like four unstoppable torrents, and finally converged on the Taiji Golden Bridge laid by the Supreme One!
Their goal is singular—the Chaos World Tree, which symbolizes all the hopes of the Chaos God!
"For humanity, for the primordial world!"

"kill!!"

The Humanitarian Alliance, like four of the sharpest daggers, plunged fiercely into the battlefield, which had already been thrown into chaos by the other Taiyi Daluo!

They formed a perfect team with Zu Long, Yuan Huang, Luo Hou, and others!

Fuxi's secrets of heaven pointed out the enemy's weaknesses and the life-or-death opportunities on the battlefield to all allies!
Shennong's art of herbal medicine provided a continuous source of healing power for all the wounded soldiers!
Xuanyuan's Imperial Sword Qi and Shaohao's Orderly Qin Music have transformed into the most terrifying wide-range destructive divine power on the battlefield!
In an instant, wherever the Humanitarian Alliance went, the demonic beings were utterly destroyed!
"Damn it! Why are these Emperors of Humanity here too?!"

"Shouldn't their true forms be suppressing the fortunes of Heaven and the Fire Cloud Cave?!"

The Chaos Gods, who were struggling to resist the fierce attack of the primordial gods in the World Tree, were filled with shock and anger upon seeing the arrival of this new force!
They never expected that all four of these accomplished human emperors would be able to participate!

This is no longer just a simple matter of joining the war!
This is a gamble with the future of all humanity!

Just then, an even louder horn sounded from the other end of the Taiji Golden Bridge!

"Your Majesties! Emperor Zhuanxu has led the remaining human forces to join us!"

At the end of the golden bridge, a young crown prince, dressed in a black imperial robe and with a resolute face, was leading a vast army of humanity, holding the Emperor's Seal, and marching towards them in a mighty procession!

It was none other than the Black Emperor, Zhuanxu, who had always been in charge of the rear and coordinating all affairs!
He did not disappoint anyone's expectations, and completed the assembly of all reserve forces in the shortest possible time!

At this moment, he brought the last and most elite forces of humanity to this ultimate battlefield that would determine the fate of the era!

"Good! Good! Good!"

When Xuanyuan saw Zhuanxu arrive, he clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes filled with satisfaction and pride!
"The Five Emperors of Humanity have finally gathered here today!"

"This battle must be won!"

The five great emperors of humanity, each representing one of the five elements and one of the five virtues, victoriously joined forces on the Taiji Golden Bridge, surrounded by a massive army!
At that moment, the five virtues and fortunes behind them soared into the sky, reflecting each other and forming a dazzling canopy of humanity that spanned the past, present, and future!

"not enough!"

Zhuanxu looked at the World Tree in front of him, which was still putting up a stubborn resistance and trying to stabilize the [Demon God Realm], and a resolute look flashed in his eyes!
"Our strength alone is insufficient to completely destroy it!"

"We need more power!"

Having said that, he raised the Emperor's Seal high in his hand!

This seal is not the one passed down by Xuanyuan, but the supreme treasure that is the most fundamental element of humanity and can command the entire destiny of humanity—the Kongtong Seal!

"In the name of the Five Emperors of Humanity!"

"We respectfully invite the ancestral temple of humanity, the Fiery Cloud Cave, to descend!"

As the Five Emperors simultaneously infused their primordial imperial energy into the Kongtong Seal.

The seal instantly erupted with an unprecedented brilliance of dark yellow light.

The light pierced through the chaos and shone directly on the sacred land of humanity hidden deep within endless time and space.

Rumbling--

The entire Fire Cloud Cave, along with the cave world it was in, was forcibly "moved" out of the river of time and space by this supreme power!

Like an eternal and immortal war fortress, it exuded a terrifying aura that suppressed all ages, and with a loud bang, it descended on one side of the Taiji Golden Bridge!
Inside the grotto, a Taoist priest dressed in a bright red robe, looking cheerful, stared blankly at the spectacular, world-destroying scene before him.

"No... if we're going to fight, we're going to fight, but why... why did you bring my whole house here?!"

Hongyun Daoist hadn't come to his senses yet.

He was eating hotpot and singing in Huoyun Cave.

Suddenly I was summoned here!
The figures of the five Great Emperors of Humanity had already appeared before him.

Xuanyuan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, this is a decisive battle of an era. Please lend a helping hand to the cause of humanity!"

“I…” Hongyun wanted to say something more.

But when he saw the trust and expectation in the eyes of the Five Emperors, and the countless human warriors outside the cave who were fighting to protect the prehistoric world, he was filled with joy.

He let out a long sigh, a smile that looked more like a grimace than a cry.

"That's it, that's all!"

"Who made my path to enlightenment so inextricably linked to your human ways!"

After saying that, he transformed and merged directly into the entire Fire Cloud Cave Heaven!
"Blessed by the ancestral court of humanity! Invulnerable to all laws! Unfading fortune!"

A grand will emanated from the Fire Cloud Cave, transforming into a supremely solid, dark yellow protective barrier that enveloped the entire human alliance!

With this "mobile fountain" and "super buff base station," the morale of the humanitarian coalition instantly soared to its peak!

With no more worries, they launched their fiercest all-out attack on the crumbling Chaos World Tree, using the Fire Cloud Cave as their base!

~~~~
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The fierce battle entered a white-hot stage.

The five emperors of humanity, leading from the front, were like five invincible war gods, charging into the World Tree's camp!

Fuxi's Bagua formation evolved into heaven and earth, wind and thunder, annihilating swarms of demonic and divine beings!

Shennong wielded his ochre whip, and countless poisonous herbs and immortal roots emerged, allowing countless demons and gods to taste the ultimate, enhanced version of "Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs"!
Xuanyuan's Holy Sword and Shaohao's Orderly Melody have become a deadly duet on the battlefield!

Zhuanxu held the Kongtong Seal and directed operations from the center. Each time he lowered the seal, it would activate the human fortune, providing the strongest support for his four elder brothers in front!

The battle lasted for countless years.

The World Tree has been riddled with holes under the frenzied attacks of countless primordial saints and human armies.

But it still didn't fall.

The three thousand demon god spirits seemed to have completely given up resisting, and instead withdrew all their power to protect the [Demon God True Realm] Dao Fruit at the top of the tree, which was about to completely collapse!
"They're stalling for time!"

The voice of the Xuan Turtle Taoist echoed in Zhuanxu's mind.

"Can't wait any longer!"

A resolute glint flashed in Zhuanxu's eyes!
He knew his moment had come!

"Chong! Li!"

He let out a shout.

His two closest friends, who had been waiting by his side for a long time, instantly understood!
"Leave it to us!"

Li sounded the war drums of Jiuli, once again instigating a general uprising within the World Tree, creating an opportunity for Zhuanxu!
In severe cases, the person closes their eyes, merges their primordial spirit with the Phoenix Dao Seed, and amidst the myriad chaotic laws, locks onto the most vulnerable "law joint" once again!
"It's now!"

Zhuanxu raised the imperial sword in his hand high. It was not Xuanyuan's sacred sword, but his own treasured possession - the Xuanshui Imperial Sword!
He did not attack the seemingly indestructible Dao Fruit, nor did he try to cut down the enormous tree trunk.

He poured all the fortune of the entire Humanitarian Alliance, the blessings of the Five Emperors, and his lifelong understanding of the Great Dao of "Order" into this sword!
"In the name of the Five Emperors of Humanity!"

"With my position as the humane crown prince!"

"In my true name, Zhuanxu!"

"Imperial Edict—"

"Sever—the—connection—between—earth—and—heaven!!!"

A sword light, as black as ink and extremely still, seemingly capable of devouring all light and hope, flashed and disappeared from the tip of the Xuan Shui Emperor Sword!
The sword light did not strike matter, but directly struck the "concept"!
It severed the most fundamental "connection" of energy and laws between the [True Realm of Demon Gods] and the [World Tree of Chaos]!
click-

A crisp cracking sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes.

The invisible "stem" between the "Eternal Dao Fruit" hanging at the top of the tree, which was protected by the three thousand demon gods with all their power, and the World Tree that carried it, was cleanly and decisively severed by this sword!

click-

That crisp, shattering sound, seemingly emanating from the depths of the soul, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

It drowned out all the shouts of battle, drowned out all the roars of the laws, and became the only sound in the chaos at this moment.

Under the incredibly shocked gazes of all the ancient gods and surviving demons.

The "Eternal Dao Fruit"—the True Realm of Demon Gods—suspended atop the Chaos World Tree and protected by the full power of the three thousand demon gods, is connected to the World Tree that carries it by an invisible "stem" that links energy and laws.

It was cleanly and decisively severed by Zhuanxu's amazing sword strike!
"Do not--!!!"

A roar filled with despair, madness, and disbelief erupted from the World Tree, which was on the verge of complete collapse!
That was the voice of the Heavenly Dao!

He never dreamed that he would spend countless eons, scheme against countless lives, and sacrifice countless compatriots to finally build this supreme bridge to eternity.

He was actually cut in half by an unknown human boy!
The "fruit of the Way" that has lost its foundation becomes a rootless duckweed, and its continuous process of transcendence comes to an abrupt end!

The World Tree, having lost its "fruit," instantly lost all meaning. Its internal laws, already extremely unstable due to internal strife, completely collapsed at this moment!

Rumbling--

The towering black tree began to crumble inch by inch, transforming into the most violent chaotic energy storm, sweeping in all directions!

Many demonic spirits that were stubbornly resisting in the trees were torn to pieces in this destructive storm originating from within, before they could even utter a scream!
The allied forces from the primordial world, having received an advance warning from Fuxi, had already retreated to the protective barrier of the Fire Cloud Cave, thus avoiding this fatal impact.

All eyes were fixed on the [Demon God's True Realm], which had lost the support of the World Tree and was now quietly floating in the chaos.

It was the final and only "spoils of war".

However, just when everyone thought the outcome was decided and victory was in sight...

A sudden change occurs!
On the crystal-clear surface of the [Demon God's True Realm], which seemed to have lost all power, a huge face filled with endless resentment and madness suddenly appeared!

"Zhuanxu!!!"

A vicious curse, powerful enough to freeze time and space, roared from the mouth of that grotesque face!

"Die!"

The entire [Demon God Realm] seemed to come alive.

Its goal has always been the same!
That was the humane crown prince who personally shattered all their hopes!

"Oh no! Zhuanxu is in danger!"

Xuanyuan was the first to react. His eyes were bloodshot, and the Holy Sword in his hand burst out with golden light. He was about to rush forward!
"Quickly! Protect Zhuanxu!"

At this moment, Shaohao, Fuxi, and Shennong all unhesitatingly unleashed all their power in an attempt to intercept that mad "Dao Fruit"!
Xuanqing, Taishang, Yuchen, Zulong, Yuanhuang, and other Taiyi Daluo also made their moves.

However, the mutated [Demon God's True World] is extremely terrifying.

The distance between it and Zhuanxu was instantly reduced to zero!

Finished!

These two cold words surfaced in everyone's mind.

They seemed to have already seen Zhuanxu's tragic end, where his body and soul were completely destroyed under that terrifying impact, leaving not even a trace of his true spirit.

However, just as that destructive light was about to engulf Zhuanxu...

An aged yet gentle sigh softly sounded in his ear.

"Child, this is all the teacher can do for you."

Suddenly, the tortoise shell that Zhuanxu had always worn, a gift from the Xuan Gui Dao Ren, flew out without warning!
It grew as it faced the wind, and in an instant it transformed into a colossal, dark yellow shield that blotted out the sky.

Hundreds of millions of Dao runes flowed on it, evolving into the phenomena of earth, water, fire, and wind, and the birth and death of the universe, blocking Zhuanxu's way!

boom--! ! ! !

A terrifying roar, indescribable in words and enough to deafen the entire chaos, exploded out!

At this moment, all the primal power of the [Demon God Realm] was poured onto that ancient tortoise shell!

Xuan Gui Dao Ren used all the Dao fruits he had cultivated over countless years, and his final gift as Xuanwu, to shield his disciple from this fatal blow!
The tortoise shell was covered with cracks, which spread rapidly like a spider web.

Finally, accompanied by a mournful cry filled with resentment, this innate treasure, which had existed since the beginning of chaos, completely transformed into countless dark yellow light spots and vanished without a trace.

However, it ultimately secured that most precious glimmer of hope for Zhuanxu.

The primal impact of the [Demon God's True Realm] was 99% neutralized.

But the remaining aftershock, and the most vicious karmic curse of the three thousand demon gods contained within it, still slammed into Zhuanxu's already exhausted body!
puff--!
Zhuanxu felt as if his primordial spirit was being pierced by millions of poisoned steel needles at the same time!
His newly formed and incomplete "Mysterious Water Emperor" Dao Fruit was instantly covered with cracks!
His body began to become transparent and illusory at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Zhuanxu!!!"

Li Hezhong rushed forward like a madman.

They embraced his dissipating body, one on each side.

"Hold on! You have to hold on!"

Tears welled up in Li's eyes. He tried to use his own power to repair Zhuanxu's shattered primordial spirit, but found that the curse originating from the three thousand demon gods was like a maggot clinging to the bone, impossible to dispel.

"Zhuanxu!" Chong, a man who was usually taciturn, was now sobbing uncontrollably. He could only futilely hold his dearest friend's increasingly cold hand.

Zhuanxu slowly opened his eyes.

There was no pain or fear on his face.

Only a place of peace and tranquility remains after its mission has been accomplished.

He looked at his two grief-stricken friends and managed a weak smile.

"Don't...don't cry..."

His voice was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind.

“I…I just…did what I was supposed to do…”

"Someone has to bear the burden of the darkness of this era."

He slowly raised his hand, which had become almost transparent, and stroked the Xuan Shui Emperor Sword that had accompanied him throughout his life one last time.

Then, he turned his gaze to the four Human Emperors who were charging toward him, and to the countless Human Warriors who were worried about him.

Zhuanxu's eyes were filled with endless longing and reluctance.

Finally, his gaze settled on the [Demon God's True Realm] Dao Fruit, which had become dim and lifeless due to the exhaustion of all its original power.

With his last ounce of strength, he whispered:

"This fruit... should be... the foundation... for humanity... for all eternity..."

The moment the words fell.

His body transformed into countless specks of mysterious water light.

Those points of light did not dissipate, but slowly converged into a tranquil and profound river.

The river flowed quietly, encircling the broken "Tao Fruit".

It was as if he was using his last breath to protect the most precious future he had won for all of humanity.

The humane crown prince, the future "Black Emperor" Zhuanxu, was devoured by the Demon God Realm after completing the supreme feat of "severing the connection between heaven and earth".

A heroic martyr!
