"King of the Sky Rift! We will aid you!"

The Bonewing Clan Chieftain shrieked, and an invisible soul shockwave, like billions of steel needles, precisely pierced the vital points of the Heavenly Palace army's souls.

The lava demon opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of lava that could scorch rivers and boil seas. Its goal was not to kill, but to sweep across the land and deliberately block the Heavenly Palace army's charge path and the flow of spiritual energy!
In an instant, the core of the wasteland boiled over!

With their bloodlines awakened and their power surging, the warriors of various races, led by King Shenyue and King Lieqiong, were no longer passively defending or blindly breaking through, but instead transformed into an organized, furious, and precise wave of ambush!

Like suicidal daggers, they frantically attacked the key arrow nodes of the three hundred chain formations pointing towards Shenxiang Mountain!

The power of the Great Dao clashed violently!

Fragments of the law exploded like fireworks on the blockade line!

The giant tortoise-shell shields of the Rock Camp groaned under the relentless onslaught of the Berserker Bull.

The demon-locking chains were tightly bound and torn apart by the suddenly erupting, surging power of the vine demon with its incredibly resilient vines.

The arrow rain from the Rift Camp was disrupted and deflected by the enhanced, thick scales of the Lava Giant Lizard and the awakened Gengjin Claw Wind of the Sand Wolf...

Internal and external pressure!

The berserk power triggered by bloodline resonance is perfectly combined with deliberately created chaotic tactics!

The precise, cold, chain-like array pointing directly at Shenxiang Mountain was instantly twisted, deformed, and violently trembled by this overwhelming force!
The attack arrows that were originally clearly pointed at Shenxiang Mountain were completely engulfed, torn apart, and scattered by the chaotic battlefield torrent that was deliberately detonated!
The three million-strong army was plunged into a chaotic battle like a quagmire, and the road to Shenxiang Mountain was completely cut off by the violent energy turbulence and the distorted laws of the Great Dao!

"Bastard!"

Above the sky, the patrol commander watched the battle on the light screen go out of control in an instant, and the target deviated. His eyes were bloodshot, and he smashed the black jade table in front of him with a punch.

"These damned, barbaric beasts! How dare they awaken evil beings!"

"And that Fire Commander Zhang Yuan, he's all talk and no action, his three million-strong army is in such a mess!"

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

The army was caught in a chaotic stalemate and could only be drawn into the fray, fighting their own battles.

As for Shenxiang Mountain, we can't go there anymore.

"Send a message to the Heavenly Palace, requesting reinforcements."

------------------

At the core of Shenxiang Mountain, in that sealed, shattered world.

Zhang Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze from the external void battlefield, a hint of coldness and approval flashing across his lips.

"Shen Yue truly understands the secrets of heaven; his timing was impeccable. The chaos was well-deserved!"

He whispered.

The chaotic torrent that erupted from the external battlefield due to the resonance of bloodlines and the proactive blocking by Shen Yuewang, which was enough to distort the laws of the Great Dao, was the barrier he needed most at this moment.

He took a step, and the space beneath his feet automatically shortened, instantly placing him inside the sealed space.

Zhang Yuan landed beside the enormous skeleton wrapped in dark gold chains, in front of a massive, suspended figure.

This is the remains of a ten-thousand-foot-tall divine beast that resembles a Qilin but has a single, thunderous horn.

Even under the ancient seal, the purple scales still crackled with tiny, dangerous sparks of electricity.

Sensing the aura emanating from Zhang Yuan that stirred the will of the divine elephant, two dazzling purple lightning bolts suddenly lit up in the empty eye sockets of the skeleton!

"boom--!"

The immense and unparalleled divine will, like a thunderstorm that had accumulated over millions of years, instantly enveloped Zhang Yuan's divine soul and pulled him into a consciousness space composed purely of destructive thunder!
A figure draped in an ancient black robe, with a blurred yet majestic face, and surrounded by ancient purple lightning, stood in the center of the sea of ​​thunder.

He looked at Zhang Yuan, his voice like a million thunderbolts rolling deep in the clouds.

"To be able to draw upon Fellow Daoist Zhenyue's last bit of power... you are extraordinary."

"I am the 'Purple Heaven Thunder Lord,' wielding the divine thunder of destruction."

"I have already learned a thing or two about your martial arts skills and Fellow Daoist Zhenyue's will."

"But this place is a contest of laws, and I want to see your 'Dao'! Show me your thunderous divine power! Only if you can withstand my 'Eternal Annihilation Thunder Seal' will you be qualified to inherit my legacy!"

Before the words were finished, the figure in black robes formed a hand seal.

The entire Thunder Space was instantly emptied, and endless purple lightning frantically gathered in his palm, condensing into an ancient, heavy purple lightning seal that seemed to contain the meaning of the end of the universe!
The moment the Thunder Seal took shape, space was annihilated inch by inch, emanating an aura of annihilation that even froze the soul of a Venerable!
This is the power of ancient mythical beasts!

If this were the prehistoric world today, the Thunder Lord before us would certainly not be an unknown figure.

Faced with this terrifying lightning seal, powerful enough to shatter a galaxy in a single blow, Zhang Yuan remained calm, his eyes gleaming with chaotic divine light.

"Lei Dao?" He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of indifferent condescension. "As you wish."

He didn't even form a hand seal; he simply raised his right hand slowly.

"Buzz!"

A miniature chaotic vortex appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.

The vortex was as deep as a black hole, with dark golden chaotic lightning patterns leaping along its edges.

This is the manifestation of the fourteenth level of "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment," the realm of "Thunder Source Creation"!

When the purple lightning seal, containing the Dao principle of "eternal annihilation," crashed down with the power to annihilate everything, the chaotic vortex in Zhang Yuan's palm spun silently.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no violent clash of energy. The desolate lightning seal that made even space groan vanished the moment it touched the edge of the chaotic vortex, like a clay ox sinking into the sea!

The raging power of the Annihilation Divine Thunder was forcibly decomposed and devoured by an unparalleled power originating from the beginning of chaos and encompassing all things!
Deep within the vortex, there seemed to be an invisible chaotic furnace, easily stripping away the destructive properties of this ultimate lightning power, which represented end and destruction, and transforming it into countless gentle and pure cyan electric snakes containing the origin of creation and reshaping!

The figure of Zixiao Leizun, which was formed from lightning, suddenly froze, and extreme horror was clearly revealed on his blurred face!
"Transforming...transforming annihilation into creation?! Wielding the source of thunder as if creating something?! This...this is impossible! This is...the realm of the Thunder Dao Master?!"

His voice was filled with unbelievable shock, and he even forgot to react when the Annihilation Lightning Seal, which contained his remaining will, was completely devoured and disintegrated.

Zhang Yuan flipped his palm, and the chaotic vortex in his palm dissipated, along with the aura of the Creation Lightning.

He looked at the illusory divine soul of the Purple Heaven Thunder Lord, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable majesty: "Destruction is not the end of thunder. Creation reveals the true essence of thunder's origin. Your lineage, are you willing to submit?"

Crush them!

Absolute, level-by-level domination!
The remnant soul of the Purple Heaven Thunder Lord remained silent for a moment, the light on his thunderous body dimming slightly, before finally transforming into a long sigh filled with endless vicissitudes and relief: "...The younger generation is truly formidable! I have guarded these remains for countless millennia, and finally, I see a worthy successor! My thunder magic inheritance, 'The True Explanation of Purple Heaven's Annihilation,' is entirely entrusted to you!"

A highly refined purple lightning rune shot out from between his brows and instantly entered the depths of Zhang Yuan's soul, containing the complete laws and insights of the Dao of Annihilation.

At the same time, the thunderous horn on the massive remains of the Purple Heaven Thunder Lord detached from the skeleton, transformed into a stream of light wrapped in fine purple lightning, flew to Zhang Yuan, and turned into an ancient purple ring that automatically slipped onto Zhang Yuan's hand.

"This is the 'Purple Heaven Thunder-Drawing Ring' transformed from my natal horn, containing a small world of thunder and lightning, and storing some of the treasures and heirlooms accumulated by my clan. If one day, by chance, I encounter my bloodline descendant, the 'Purple Lightning Suanni,' I hope he will take care of me..."

Lei Zun's figure began to fade, and his voice grew increasingly ethereal: "Holding the source of thunder, bearing the hopes of the people... The road ahead is fraught with peril... Take care..."

Before he finished speaking, the illusory soul of the Purple Heaven Thunder Lord completely vanished, leaving only the skeleton bound by chains, which appeared even more lonely in the shattered space.

Zhang Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the newly acquired Thunder Dao inheritance and the spatial fluctuations contained in the ring, then turned his gaze to the depths of the space where more figures were entangled in chains.

Time was of the essence; the Heavenly Palace's counterattack could break through the chaotic battlefield at any moment, so he had to speed things up.

Zhang Yuan's gaze, like two bolts of lightning tearing through the void and containing endless primordial power, suddenly locked onto the figure radiating ancient chill beside the remains of the Mountain-Suppressing Divine Elephant—the Ice Crystal Phoenix!
Unlike the fierce and scorching Thunder Phoenix and Fire Phoenix encountered before, this Ice Phoenix seemed to be meticulously sculpted from ancient ice that had existed since the beginning of time.

Each outstretched feather is crystal clear, but it does not reflect a beautiful halo; instead, it emits a chilling light that can freeze one's soul into ice shards!

Its very existence is a moving, absolute dead zone.

"Snap, crack—!!!"

The Ice Phoenix's wings only fluttered slightly!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only the faint groan of space being instantly stripped of all vitality and completely "frozen to death"!
Centered on it, a terrifying cold wave, visible to the naked eye, silently erupted and spread!
The entire sealed core space was as if a cosmic ice core had been thrown in!
In Zhang Yuan's vision, space was no longer simply frozen, but was directly "shattered" by this chill that surpassed the limits of the laws!

As if a giant piece of glass had been struck in an instant, countless tiny fragments of spatial ice crystals, shimmering with a deadly, eerie blue light, scattered and formed a magnificent yet deadly spectacle of deathly stardust!

What's even more terrifying is that invisible force!

Zhang Yuan's surging, chaotic true essence, powerful enough to shake a small world, seemed to have suddenly lost all its source of vitality!
That immense power, containing the very essence of the primordial world, rapidly condensed and froze on his body!
The thick, dimly golden "Chaotic Ice" covered his arms, chest, and entire body at a visible speed, emitting a teeth-grinding "crunching" groan.

It was as if he would be frozen into an eternal statue in the next moment!
"The Eternal Mystic Ice Prison... Open!"

Deep within the hollow eye sockets of the Ice Crystal Phoenix, a piercingly cold brand of enslavement suddenly lit up, like the merciless eyes of the Heavenly Palace opening at this moment!
The icy, emotionless divine thought pierced Zhang Yuan's mind like millions of ice needles: "Those who blaspheme against the Divine Prison... will be forever condemned to the abyss of ice, their souls and spirits annihilated!"

Before the words were even finished, it stretched out its neck and let out a long, mournful cry that pierced the soul!

Its sharp beak suddenly opened.

A pure, intensely blue light, seemingly imbued with the intent of the universe's end and annihilation, capable of extinguishing all sparks of life, ignored the spatial barrier frozen into ice crystal fragments. Like a death ray that transcended time, it shot directly into the core of Zhang Yuan's soul between his brows!
"The Frozen Prison? Hmph, I shattered it once with my own hands, why should I fear a second time!"

Zhang Yuan's icy voice pierced through layers of mysterious ice, carrying an arrogant will to burn down all the heavens and myriad worlds!
The frozen chaotic ice suddenly shattered!
"boom--!!!"

The Heaven-Burning Divine Wings unfolded in mid-air!

It is no longer a pure gold flame, but the thirteen layers of divine flames from the "Burning Heaven Creation Scripture", perfectly fused with the ever-flowing chaotic true essence!
There is also a trace of the creative Dao rhythm originating from the "Thunder Source Creation" realm of "Nine Heavens Thunder Punishment," which reverses life and death and turns death into life. It is like the most agile spirit, leaping and flowing between the fiery patterns of crimson gold and chaos!

"Buzz—!!!"

The divine wings vibrated, no longer unleashing an endless sea of ​​fire, but instead becoming highly concentrated!

A raging, roaring torrent, seemingly compressed from billions of burning stars, suddenly took shape and surged across the galaxy towards the extinguishing cold light!

The color of the fire was incredibly strange.

At its core is a solidified crimson gold that has burned away all things, while at its edges flows a vibrant, life-giving green light that nurtures all things. They are distinct yet perfectly integrated!
Ice and fire, annihilation and creation, end and origin—the ultimate collision of two extreme laws!

There was no deafening explosion, only a sharp, soul-piercing hissing sound as the laws were annihilated!

The icy light of annihilation, powerful enough to freeze the soul of a Venerable One and halt the flow of the river of time, underwent a dramatic change the instant it touched the core area of ​​the Chaos Burning Realm Fire Stream, causing even the Ice Phoenix Mark to tremble!
The terrifying, annihilating cold energy not only failed to extinguish the flames, but instead seemed to be thrown into a supreme law furnace that transforms death into life!

The azure light containing the Dao of Creation at the core of the Burning Realm Fire Flow swirled wildly, like the most efficient analyzer, instantly breaking down and stripping away the invading extreme cold and its annihilating death intent layer by layer!

Even more horrifying is that this pure cold energy, stripped of its annihilation essence, was violently devoured and transformed by the fire stream itself under the guidance of the Dao of Creation!
It's like throwing ice into the heart of a burning furnace; instead of cooling it down, it adds fuel to the fire!
Ice and fire reversed! The energy level... rose instead of falling!
That extinguishing, cold light was actually forcibly refined and purified by the Burning World Fire Stream, transforming into an even more violent, more concentrated, and powerful white flame pillar that exuded the might to burn stars and boil seas!
"break!"

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed with chaotic divine light, and he uttered a soft command as if it were an edict from the heavens!

The enormous Heaven-Burning Divine Wings suddenly changed from being spread out to closing up!
No longer in the form of wings, but transformed into two law-based heavenly blades wrapped in four colors of light: crimson gold, chaos, cyan, and blazing white!

Where the blade points, cause and effect are severed, and chaos is first separated!
Carrying all the energy of the newly refined and greatly enhanced blazing white flame pillar, it was like a divine blade of punishment that split the heavens and the earth, aimed at the core of the ice crystal phoenix and slashed down fiercely!
"唳——!!!"

The Ice Crystal Phoenix let out an unprecedented cry, filled with resentment forced by the Heavenly Palace imprint and despair as its own essence was crushed by absolute power!
The absolute cold domain that it relied on to roam the primordial wilderness and freeze stars was as fragile as thin ice in spring when faced with the Light Flame Heavenly Blade, which combined four kinds of destructive and creative powers!

"Boom—!!!"

The blade pierced the core of the Ice Crystal Phoenix without any hindrance!
Starting from the point where it was hit, countless fine cracks spread like a spider web to every corner of its massive body in an instant!
The sound of ice crystals shattering was like millions of pieces of glass breaking at the same time!

next moment--

The ice phoenix's ten-thousand-foot-tall body shattered with a deafening roar! (End of Chapter)
