From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 397 The Darkest Moment
The great battle in the Celestial Palace region is about to end.

"Truly troublesome." Yu Zhexian's expression was as solemn as an iceberg, and he rolled up his charred sleeves, revealing that he had already suffered minor injuries.

When the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds was in the Mortal Realm, Heavenly Mandate could only suppress his realm in a simple way. But after he entered the Mortal Realm, only his Dao became apparent, and there were too many things to suppress.

During the Mountain and Sea Banquet, someone once said that after Nanmian ascended to godhood, he no longer had the strength to suppress Wan Shizun, who was of the same level.

"Immortal Yu, I will kill you in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn," said the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds in a deep voice. The golden sword embryo in his hand shone brightly, and lightning gathered at the tip of the sword, as if it would tear the sky apart.

At the Mountain and Sea Banquet, Chen Xuan snatched both his sword and cauldron. Later, he obtained a new sword from the rewards from beyond the heavens, but in the end, he fused them all into a weapon that was inseparable from his own Dao... He was destined to become the Supreme Being, and his weapon would also become the [Giant God Weapon], until it became the Supreme Weapon.

"I'm afraid that's not enough!" Yu Zhexian said calmly.

"Heh! What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to us!" Wan Shizun said coldly, though he was puzzled. Not long ago, Nan Mian had already fought him and, although he hadn't lost, he had no chance of winning. Why did he dare to show up again today?

At this moment, the Pure Yang Heaven of the Immortal Yu Zhe Xian is not manifest, so it is difficult to use the Four Imperial Techniques to launch a fierce attack for a long time. His thunder energy is about to be exhausted, and the Heavenly Mandate weapon he brought will also be unable to withstand the suppression of the Supreme Heavenly Mandate.

"I should need a supreme weapon of destiny, the ultimate treasure," Yu Zhexian thought to himself.

"Immortal Yu, you should have called your master to come along!" Wan Shizun said coldly, knowing that the Little Azure Heaven Dao Master also cultivated thunder magic and controlled a greater number of Heavenly Weapons.

"Master has other things to do..." Before Yu Zhexian could finish speaking, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiangliu Immortal in the distance.

"Ha ha!"

Immortal Lord Xiangliu's body was trembling uncontrollably, shaking off bursts of moonlight. His dormant immortal energy seemed to be reviving, and he let out a chilling laugh.

"Ha, ha... I'm back..."

He has already seen that the glory of the First Throne will once again shine upon this ancient land.

"Has he regained his strength?" Wan Shizun frowned. The only thing that could affect his destiny ability was another supreme destiny at a higher level... It wasn't that it affected him, but rather that they were each doing their own thing, each operating their own destiny domain abilities.

Distant sky.

The Xuanpin Bull Demon and the Dragon Shadow Immortal exchanged a glance. Their immortal energy and Dao principles were inexplicably resonating, removing decay, but soon, they began to show signs of disintegration.

"The will of the Chief has returned..."

They sighed, for without a doubt, the imperial princess, along with Xinzhai, had committed a heinous crime.

……

The divine spirits are in the light.

"Boom!"

Chen Xuan wreaked havoc, leaving the entire Destiny Space in ruins, with terrifying cracks appearing at the end of Destiny.

"Whoosh!" In the void, various golden seal scripts drifted down with the fragments of destiny, seemingly some fragments of the "Divine Spirit Scripture".

Chen Xuan glanced at the scattered text of the true scripture and thought to himself, "Could this be the cultivation scripture of the twelfth Qi of the Mountain and Sea?"

At the same time, doubts arose in his mind. He had already defeated the Rebellious Heart Retreat Technique to this extent, but there was still no sign that Shen Lingming's divine consciousness would take the initiative to appear.

Isn't Your Majesty worrying too much? Perhaps the gods are too preoccupied with worldly affairs to care about anything else?

"Huh? Oh no!"

Chen Xuan was suddenly horrified, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. In his vision, among the distant, wandering points of light representing the chosen ones, a dazzling ball of light, as bright as the blazing sun, suddenly shone, stinging his eyes so much that he couldn't open them.

But the immense pain was insignificant at this moment.

Because something extremely terrifying happened: that "killer" orb, as bright as the blazing sun, bloomed among the other Chosen Ones' points of light, which meant...

May the divine spirits be restored to their rightful place in the celestial palaces of the five directions!
The moment the Reverse Heart Fasting Method was broken, it returned from the world beyond, and even went straight back to its ancestral land in the present world!
“Your Majesty is right!” Chen Xuan thought to himself. The deity clearly sensed the danger, but it was extremely cautious and did not rashly step into the realm of destiny. Instead, it chose to return directly to the source and solve the problem!

"brush!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Xuan disregarded the ongoing destruction of the collapsing Destiny Space and immediately left the mess, returning to the present world.

"Buzz!"

Deep within the celestial palace, within the crystal-clear, snow-like Chaos Lotus, the blurry silhouette trembled a few times before becoming clear. Immediately afterward, an unprecedented supreme aura poured down like a galaxy, causing the entire celestial palace to tremble.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the celestial palace, the five directions of the earth, and the vast Taixu were all frozen in time, as if the river of time had stopped flowing.

“This…” In the distance, Wan Shizun and Yu Zhexian stared intently, their pure immortal energy still flowing within them, but the thunder energy they controlled around them had stagnated.

They then turned their heads and stared at Xiangliu Xianjun, who had suddenly turned into a wooden sculpture, and remained motionless.

"Go!" Alarm bells rang in Wan Shizun's mind, and he instantly used a secret technique to escape from this area.

"Where can I find refuge?" the Imperial Immortal murmured to himself.

“They’re back…” Further away, the Xuanpin Bull Demon and the Dragon Shadow Fairy exchanged a smile, and then they were forced to freeze in place.

At this moment, on the five lands amidst the great battle, all living beings, including Zhenyuan Immortal Lord and Taixuan Evil Immortal, fell silent. Even the magical spells and divine powers bombarding the sky ceased, frozen in their exploding state, as if it had been so since time immemorial...

Between heaven and earth, only extraordinary objects like the [Wuji Flag], or special objects like those or those destined by heaven, emit a faint glow in the deathly silence.

The whole world was silent.

At this moment, it was as if the mastermind behind the scenes had pressed pause on the entire operating world, and then the god who created the world was about to step onto the stage to modify his own creation.

Deep within the celestial palace.

“Xin Zhai—” A faint voice came from the Chaos Lotus.

The blurry silhouette slowly rose, radiant light overflowing from its body, and it turned around.

"cut!"

The moment Chen Xuan's consciousness returned to his physical body, his vertical pupil between his brows split open. He then used the Great Cause and Effect Technique to activate the fourth level of the Heart Cleansing Power, aiming to sever the trace of the other party's avatar and forcibly create a "death" outcome.

"Wow!"

Beside her, the Empress also made her move. Her jade-like face was frosty, and a resolute glint flashed in her clear eyes. Dark power surged from her body once again like a raging tide. This was a power completely contrary to [Divine Light], resisting the influence of the descent of Divine Light.

She gently unfurled her delicate hand, and the scroll in her hand unfolded like butterfly wings.

"Father—" The Empress's voice carried a pleading, weak tone, as if she were calling upon the ancient Heavenly Emperor, who had long been destroyed by the ancient sages of various races!
Against the backdrop of ancient immortals and sages sweeping across mountains and seas, the reason why a celestial being like the "Emperor's Daughter," with such a prominent status, was able to survive safely into this world lies in this scroll.

Even the divine power of the gods could not detect the existence of this scroll.

In the next instant, some ancient, dormant power was awakened by the Empress. It was an ancient power, invisible even to Chen Xuan's inner alchemy, that surged forth from the scroll. A strike from the Heavenly Emperor of Gods?
Supreme Heavenly Strike!
"Wow..."

A moment later,

No one knows what happened, but the entire stagnant world suddenly trembled, started running again, and then collapsed like a mirror breaking apart.

In front of Chen Xuan, the outlines of the Chaos Lotus and the returning divine spirit had all disappeared.

"If Xinzhai strikes it... will it die?" He couldn't see the battle clearly, but he knew that the Xinzhai Annihilation Power activated by his Great Cause and Effect Technique, together with the Empress's Heavenly Emperor attack, struck the seemingly returning divine figure.

Chen Xuan turned his head and saw that the scroll that the Empress had closed was as dull as a withered leaf, having lost its color, as if it had exhausted all its strength.

"Not now, but later." The Empress shook her head, indicating that Shen Lingming should not die for the time being. The Xinzhai method of tracing back to the source and eliminating the upper cultivator would take some time. Now that the opponent's destiny was destroyed, he was no longer a concern.

Its divine power, which has enveloped the world for nearly a million years, is slowly dissipating.

"It must be that the divine mandate has been broken!"

Chen Xuan guessed, but then he noticed that the Empress's aura was rapidly weakening, and as countless points of light fell, her figure became blurry.

"Ha! Ha! You've got what you wanted?!"

In the distance, a shrill laugh exploded, and the blood-soaked Immortal Lord Xiangliu ascended into the sky, carrying terrifying Taiyin Immortal might, and charged forward without hesitation.

"You've messed everything up, you'll all be punished!"

The divine mandate of the spirit has faded, and it no longer has the possibility of continuing to exist. There is no place for it in the world!

"boom!"

The battle between the immortals erupted in an instant.

The Empress commanded Chen Xuan of Xinzhai to launch a counterattack... The combat abilities of the Taiyin cultivators were not satisfactory, while the weapons of Xinzhai, which had obtained dark immortal power, were terrifyingly powerful.

This great battle did not last long and ended quickly.

Dark immortal power enveloped Chen Xuan, and the golden-red sword light, like a black ribbon splitting the sky, severed the head of Immortal Lord Xiangliu.

"Wow..."

The remains of Immortal Xiangliu fell, following closely behind the footsteps of the divine Mingming, vanishing into nothingness, leaving nothing behind.

A Golden Core Immortal has fallen!

Great compassion should have arisen between heaven and earth, but now, such things no longer exist... Everything that transcends the mortal realm will vanish.

far away.

Huo Li, the demon immortal, stretched and yawned. The clouds in the sky surged with his movement, and his aura erupted like a volcano. At this moment, his peerless fighting spirit returned.

The true number one immortal in the Doubu.

"A wonderful feeling. I never imagined that I would be able to regain this power hundreds of thousands of years later."

The Demon Immortal Huoli murmured to himself, then, glancing at the Empress and Chen Xuan who were locking onto him in the distance, he laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, please be lenient and give me some time."

Chen Xuan frowned.

The demon immortal Huo Li rode on auspicious clouds and vanished in an instant. In his final moments, he wanted to take a good look at the magnificent landscapes of the mortal world and the vastness of the Great Void... and then, kill the Divine Empress, or die at the hands of the Divine Empress.

"This world is no more!" The laughter of the Doubu Demon Immortals echoed between heaven and earth, carefree and unburdened.

Further away.

"Old Dragon, it seems the Chief is not coming back. From now on..." Xuanpin Bull Demon sighed again, but no one knew what he was sighing about.

"Do as you please. I will continue my slumber... There's no need to see me off." The Dragon Shadow Demon Immortal chuckled, his face utterly composed.

He raised his fingers, which were once withered but now shimmering with light, and stroked the mournful Yinglong remnant on his shoulder. Then, his figure vanished, the lightning extinguished, as if he would never appear again.

The countdown to the demise of the five great lands has begun throughout the world.

……

On the five directions of the land.

"The Chief!!"

Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord stood amidst the flames of war, his face ashen. His decaying state was fading, his former power was returning, and then it was rapidly collapsing again.

"After the First Seat ascended to immortality, the Mandate of Heaven transformed the Five Directions into a testing ground. All living beings born in the world after that time are illusions woven by the First Seat and the Mandate of Heaven."

Tai Xuan said that he would not hesitate to kill a generation of Earth Virtue Immortals.

Now, something even more terrifying is about to happen. With the departure of the chief, not only will the Destiny Walker collapse, but everything related to it will also crumble.

"Defy fate!" Immortal Lord Zhenyuan Yuheng shook the bronze lamp in his hand. With the virtue of earth, he was determined to go against the current and save this chaotic world!

"Wow!"

The bronze lamp burned fiercely, its countless wisps of light spreading like a spiderweb, distorting the void. The immortals, wielding their divine artifacts, unleashed boundless and terrifying supernatural powers.

"Wow!"

A pipe dream begins!

With a low shout, Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord's figure plunged into the golden light of the lamps, and in the next instant, he stepped into a field of golden wheat.

"Let's go back to the old dream, find the starting point where the tale of the dream took a wrong turn, and put everything back on track!"

Liuzhen, winter, with heavy snow falling like goose feathers.

"Wang Chan—" The young man's roar shook the restaurant, and the smell of blood filled the air. The black kitten on the window frame was startled.

The figure of Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord appeared in the void. He raised his palm, and the light flames gathered in his palm were enough to tear apart ancient history. His gaze was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.

This palm strike will erase the old Xinzhai, Liuzhen, and the entire Chu Kingdom from the annals of history.

"Whoosh!" A pale hand reached out, its Taoist robe fluttering, and grabbed the arm of Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord.

Zhenyuan Yuheng Immortal Lord suddenly turned around, his pupils shrinking.
