From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 620 The Primordial Ancestral Dragon Appears, the Primordial Saint King Awakens

"Who is it? Who dares to extract the essence of the Xuanhuang Great World!"

Not only in the sky, where the powerful beings of the divine race roared, but also within the Xuanhuang Great World, Taihuang Tian of the Taiyi Sect was roaring. The Taiyi Sect had long considered the Xuanhuang Great World as their own, and with the summons from the Immortal Realm, their ambition to unify the Xuanhuang Great World was blatantly obvious. But at this very moment, the essence of the Xuanhuang Great World was extracted, which was simply...

Uproot the Taiyi Sect!

"Boom!!!"

The Xuanhuang Great World trembled violently once again. This tremor far surpassed any previous one. It was not from an external attack, nor was it the lament of its origin being extracted. Rather, it was the intervention of a higher, more ancient, and more savage force! The barriers of the entire world groaned under the unbearable pressure, and the spacetime structure seemed to be twisting and collapsing under this force.

In the sky, the countless spatial passages opened up by the gods, which were originally like hideous scars branded on the firmament, were now being forcibly squeezed and deformed by an indescribable terrifying force!
A dragon claw!
A colossal dragon claw, spanning countless billions of miles and seemingly formed from countless ancient stars, shattered continents, and even miniature worlds, pierced through layers of spacetime barriers without warning and descended upon the Xuanhuang Great World!

Each scale of this dragon claw was larger than a mountain in the Xuanhuang Great World. It was naturally imprinted with ancient Dao patterns from all the heavens and myriad worlds, and the birth and death of the universe, exuding an aura of primordial chaos, antiquity, supreme power, and dominance over all dragons! Its mere appearance caused the remaining mountains and rivers of the Xuanhuang Great World to crack once more, and even made the cascading waters of divine tribulation pause!
"Roar--!!!"

It was not a real voice, but a vast and boundless dragon's might that instantly swept across the entire Xuanhuang Great World, even penetrating those spatial passages and impacting the core of the extraterrestrial god army!

The dragon's claw was not targeting the Xuanhuang Great World, but rather the densely packed gods that almost filled the entire field of vision!
It appears slow, but in reality, it presses down with lightning speed, faster than you can think!
"Do not--!"

"Ancestor, save me!"

"What kind of being is this?!"

Countless divine lords, divine kings, and even some powerful divine emperors, only had time to let out half a scream of terror and despair the instant the dragon claw pressed down. Their divine kingdoms, celestial realms, and protective magical treasures, before this absolute power, were like bubbles in the sunlight, unable to even stir a ripple, before being completely annihilated along with their physical bodies and primordial spirits, turning into the most basic particles!

Within the area covered by the dragon's claws, the divine army was wiped out as if by an invisible cloth, instantly clearing out a large area! This even included several God Emperors whose auras were comparable to the seventh level of the Longevity Realm or the eighth level of the Chaos Realm! They didn't even have a chance to struggle before being completely annihilated by that primordial force!

This sudden blow completely stunned the gods who had been so arrogant and regarded the Xuanhuang Great World as their own! They never expected that such a terrifying being would emerge at the last moment when they were about to completely crush this weakened Great World!

After striking with its claws, the dragon did not retract them, but slowly dissipated. Immediately afterwards, a dragon shadow so enormous that it defied description slowly condensed and appeared in the sky above the Xuanhuang Great World.

Its body seemed to stretch across the Milky Way, covering the entire sky of the Xuanhuang Great World. Before it, the Xuanhuang Great World was as insignificant as a speck of dust in the palm of one's hand. Its eyes, like two chaotic ancient stars, were cold and majestic, looking down upon the beings below, who were like ants, especially the remaining gods.

Primordial Ancestral Dragon!

The supreme ruler of the Dragon Realm, an ancient being who has long transcended eras and whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary Heavenly Lords, has actually descended in his true form... No, perhaps not his complete true form, but even this condensed dragon shadow exudes power that has already surpassed the scope of Heavenly Lords!

"The gods... deserve to be exterminated!"

The will of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon roared once more, and this time, a strange light suddenly burst forth from its two chaotic dragon eyes! That light was not directed at matter, but directly at the rules, at the seemingly perfect and noble life essence of the gods!
An invisible, vast, and terrifying eye technique, carrying connotations of "degradation," "stripping," and "judgment," silently enveloped all the remaining gods like mercury spilling onto the ground!

Under the influence of this pupil technique, strange things began to happen:
Those once powerful and orderly divine warriors, whether they were Divine Lords of the Divine Power Realm or Divine Kings and Divine Emperors of the Longevity Realm, saw their cold, holy radiance rapidly dim, as if a layer of divinity had been forcibly stripped away! Their power began to decline sharply, their control over the laws of heaven and earth decreased significantly, and even maintaining flight became difficult! Some weaker Divine Lords even fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, their bodies beginning to collapse and disintegrate in mid-air!
This is not a direct kill, but it is far more terrifying than a direct kill! It fundamentally weakens the fighting power of the gods, forcibly pulling them down from their position as the supreme race!

"The gods... deserve to be exterminated!"

The voice of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, carrying undeniable majesty, resounded in the hearts of every living being in the Xuanhuang Great World. Its enormous dragon shadow swayed slightly, and more strange light from its eyes fell, precisely covering the areas where the gods gathered.

"kill!"

"Now's the time! Destroy these gods!"

…………

After the initial extreme shock, the immortal and demon cultivators of the Xuanhuang Great World suddenly erupted with earth-shattering shouts and killing intent! Feng Baiyu of the Feathered Ascension Sect, Ying Xiantian of the Innate Demon Sect, and countless rogue cultivator giants temporarily put aside their grudges and, as if injected with chicken blood, frantically rushed towards the gods whose strength had been greatly weakened by the Primordial Ancestral Dragon Eye Technique!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It's time for a desperate counterattack!
Only Taihuangtian, Taihuntian, and a group of Supreme Elders of the Taiyi Sect did not make a move. On the contrary, their faces showed shock and confusion, as if they were suddenly bewildered and did not know what had happened, or rather, they were confused and shocked by the appearance of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon...

"The Primordial Ancestral Dragon, this really is the Primordial Ancestral Dragon!"

The moment the Primordial Ancestral Dragon appeared, Li Chengqian was deeply moved. Just from its aura, he was certain that this was the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, the ancestor of all dragon races in the Primordial World.

Wasn't he dead? Wasn't he annihilated, body and soul? Didn't he transform into a dragon vein of the earth after his sudden attack?

How did I end up here?
……………… ……

Countless questions filled his mind, and for a moment, he was completely overwhelmed.

"Cousin, what's wrong?" Fang Qingxue was equally shocked, but she was startled when she saw Li Chengqian suddenly lose his focus.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Li Chengqian shook his head, recovering his senses. "The gods are finished. Let's take this opportunity to get as many benefits as possible!"

That eye technique seemed to have some kind of enhancement to the World Tree's restraining power, making the gods even more vulnerable in his presence.

"Great Devouring Technique!"

"Thunder Purgatory!"

The two were like tigers among sheep, specifically targeting those God-Emperors and God-Kings weakened by their pupil techniques and thrown into panic! Li Chengqian's grotto-heaven expanded, and the roots of the World Tree, like tentacles of death, frantically pierced into the bodies of struggling God-Emperors, absorbing their divine power and Dao, condensing them into radiant longevity fruits. Fang Qingxue's Chaotic Thunder Domain enveloped the surrounding area, electrocuting any God-Kings attempting to escape into charred remains.

The battlefield situation reversed instantly! What was originally a one-sided massacre by the gods and a desperate resistance from the Xuanhuang Great World has now turned into a great purge of the gods by the Xuanhuang Great World under the leadership of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon! Gods fell in droves, and the sky was like a torrential rain of god corpses, magical treasures, and elixirs.

"Damn it! Primordial Ancestral Dragon! How dare you interfere in the affairs of my divine race!" A god emperor, Haotian, who was ten thousand feet tall, wore a star-patterned divine robe, and whose aura was comparable to that of a celestial being, roared angrily. He tried to gather his divine power to resist the omnipresent and strange pupil technique, but found that his proud divine power was extremely sluggish and could not be exerted at more than seventy percent of its full strength.

The Heavenly Consort Umo was also horrified. Her silver hair danced wildly as she unleashed various mysterious and powerful abilities in an attempt to interfere with the Primordial Ancestral Dragon's eye technique, only to find that the effect was negligible. This eye technique seemed to have been created specifically to counter the gods!
"We can't wait any longer! I offer sacrifices to myself and communicate with the progenitor! I beseech the will of the Holy King to descend and sweep away all enemies!" Another ancient god-emperor ignited his own divine essence, uttering a tragic and resolute prayer.

"I offer this sacrifice, and beseech the Holy King to descend!"

"For the glory of the gods!"

Like a chain reaction, the remaining dozens of powerful God Emperors and countless God Sovereigns all made the same choice at this moment. They burned their divine bodies, divine power, and even divine souls, transforming into pure and tragic torrents of faith that broke through part of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon's Eye Technique's blockade and surged towards an unknowable and unfathomable depth of spacetime!
They are sacrificing themselves to forcibly awaken the sleeping supreme ruler of the divine race—the Primordial Holy King!
"Om..."

An even more ancient, majestic, and chilling will than the descent of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, seemingly representing the ultimate order and end of the universe, began to slowly seep out from the void. The river of time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all the heavens and myriad realms trembled under this will.

The massive dragon shadow of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon paused slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in its chaotic-colored dragon eyes.

Without further hesitation, it raised its dragon head and let out a dragon roar that shook the heavens! A colossal, ancient phantom of a pagoda, radiating the power of faith of all beings in the Eight Heavenly Dragons, condensed above its head! Although this pagoda was only a phantom, it was engraved with the epic history of the dragon race's civilization spanning billions of years, containing the supreme power to suppress the heavens and enlighten all worlds!

"Eight pagodas, suppress!"

The Primordial Ancestral Dragon activated the illusory image of the Dragon Clan's supreme artifact and fiercely pressed down on the remaining core of the God Clan below, especially the leaders such as the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Consort Umo!
Before the eight-part pagoda had even fully descended, its terrifying suppressive power had already frozen time and space, causing the laws of nature to wail. The divine kingdom surrounding the Jade Emperor cracked and shattered, and the Heavenly Consort Umo's face turned deathly pale. She felt as if her own thoughts were being frozen, unable to move at all. She could only watch helplessly as the illusory pagoda of destruction fell, and for the first time, despair appeared in her eyes.

At this moment, the cultivators of the Xuanhuang Great World suddenly realized that this was not a rescue, nor a massacre, but a genocide against the gods!

This is a long-planned extermination!

As long as these core leaders of the divine race die under the Eight-Part Pagoda, the divine race will be destroyed.

"Boom!!!"

It was as if a deafening roar, like the creation of the world, came from the unknowable depths of time and space.

An indescribably enormous hand pierced through endless space and time, appearing above the Xuanhuang Great World. This hand was not made of flesh and blood, but rather formed from the condensation of endless divine rules. Within its palm, it seemed to hold a universe that was constantly being born and dying, representing its end!
This palm gently lifts upwards.

"clang--!!!!!"

Like a resounding bell, or the mournful cry of the collapsing universe!
The phantom of the Eight-Part Pagoda collided fiercely with the palm of rules!
An indescribable energy storm exploded, completely annihilating the sky of the Xuanhuang Great World, turning it into pure nothingness and darkness, where even light could not exist. The land below, had it not been for the remaining Xuanhuang Origin and the intentional protection of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, would have already been completely destroyed by the aftershocks of this attack.

The illusory image of the Eight-Part Pagoda trembled violently and flew back. The hand of rules also paused slightly, becoming somewhat ethereal.

Immediately afterwards, a will, seemingly awakening from an eternal slumber, carrying endless weariness yet supreme authority, slowly resounded, filled with unquestionable majesty and indifference:

"Primordial Era... Ancestral Dragon... have you... gone mad?"
