I picked up the scattered attributes

Bang, bang, bang—

The Heavenly Dragon Eight-Tone Bell continued to expand, its melodious tones rising and falling, seemingly carrying endless sorrow and unending grief, emanating from the ends of time and space, waking those who were lost in its reverie.

"No, the key isn't in the bell; the bell is just a coordinate!"

One of the mysterious Dao Ancestors was surrounded by an obscure divine light, his figure appearing both real and ethereal, as if walking between the past and the future, making it difficult for anyone to catch his trace.

This strange Dao Ancestor's Great Dao... also involves the cosmic light.

Lord of Time and Space!

"Retreat immediately—"

But in the next instant, the Lord of Time and Space's expression changed drastically. He was the first to sense something was wrong, and he retreated, shouting sharply, "Their Eternal Dao Weapon has already been forged; they were just waiting for this moment to come and trick us..."

boom--

The Fangtian Halberd suddenly emitted a dazzling beam of light, connecting with the River of Time in the Fengxia Dao Court!

Countless divine lights soared up, dazzling and radiant. It was a great path that defied description, transforming into a wheel behind Feng Xia's head. However, it was not the Six Paths Heavenly Wheel, but the Divine Wheel of Cosmic Light formed from the light of time!

An overwhelming and unparalleled pressure that suppressed both realms transcended reincarnation and chaos at this moment, eternally reigning supreme above all the heavens and myriad paths!

A blazing sun, so intense you could feel it even with your eyes closed, appeared overhead, stirring the hearts of everyone.

Even those who had reached the Emperor level felt an invisible threat.

That threat came from the past, from when they were not yet emperors and their strength was extremely weak.

There is a force that cuts into the past, sweeping across the river of time, aiming to kill those who came before!

At this moment, chaos stood still, and time and space were frozen.

"This sword is called Time."

Feng Xia's laughter was like a brand, etched in everyone's ears: "Everyone, let's meet again in the long river of time."

He swung his halberd, the light of the universe transformed into a sword, and with an ordinary sword strike, he slashed forward, illuminating the chaos and cleaving the body of the Eighteenth Ancestor in two!

Given the state of the Eighteen Ancestors, they should have long since ceased to have a physical body, so even the strongest sword could not inflict fatal damage on them.

But this sword swept through the chaos, the sword light like a wheel, cutting not only into the past but also into the future, as if to sweep away the darkness of eternity. The sword light flashed and cut the eighteen ancestors in half!

"Damn it, this guy's sword—"

The eighteenth patriarch was shocked and furious to discover that, under the sword light, their severed bodies could not be pieced back together!

It was as if this sword had reversed time, taking them back to before their birth. From the moment they were born, their bodies were in a state of being in two halves, as if they were born that way. Even if they healed all their injuries, they could only return to the state of having only one half of their body.

Their most perfect state is when they only have half a body.

"The time we've lived through... has been altered? Not only my body, but also my magic power, my Dao, my primordial spirit... have all been split in two!"

The Emperor of the Underworld turned his head and saw the other half of himself.

His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

The other half of him suddenly revealed a strange smile: "Fellow Daoist, what are you waiting for? As my avatar, you should merge with me. Once we are fully integrated, the Great Dao of Reincarnation will reach its peak, and we will teach that Feng Xia a lesson..."

Half of the Underworld Emperor's heart sank to the bottom.

However, his heart was also only half full.

This situation is extremely strange. His body, magic power, Dao, primordial spirit, etc., are all only half of what they used to be, yet he can still maintain normal activities.

"As long as I can merge with the other half of myself, I will be able to return to my peak..."

This was precisely the place that truly terrified the Emperor of the Underworld.

After being cleaved in two by Feng Xia's sword, the other half of him seemed to develop independent consciousness and become an independent individual!

He wanted to merge and devour the other party, and the other party also wanted to merge and devour him!

"No, we must complete the fusion as soon as possible!"

The Emperor of the Underworld felt a tremor in his heart. He had no time to think about how Feng Xia had done it. A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he locked onto his other half: "Right now, the difference in our thinking is still small, but as we remain independent for longer, the differences between us will grow!"

At that point, trying to devour the other half would be harder than climbing to heaven!

However, the other half... is also himself. Right now, they still share the same thoughts and ideas!

The moment he realized this, the other half of the Underworld Emperor also reacted.

"Fellow Daoists, devour the other half immediately, or things will change—"

Boom boom boom boom boom——

Beyond the chaos, a sudden great war broke out.

The battle came so suddenly, yet it was so fierce and turbulent. The eighteen strange Dao Ancestors ruthlessly attacked, intending to take the lead and use themselves as the main body to devour and merge the other half that had split off!

Feng Xia only unleashed one sword strike, yet it dragged them directly into a life-or-death battle!

If one cannot devour their other half as soon as possible, not only will their power never be able to return to its peak, but since both halves want to become the original body and have developed independent thoughts, they will inevitably cause even greater trouble in the long run!

For the mysterious Dao Ancestor, this battle was indeed a matter of life and death.

Feng Xia, who unleashed this sword strike, vanished without a trace, as if he no longer existed in this world. Even if someone were to deduce the secrets of heaven, they could only see a blurry image.

The only thing that can be confirmed is...

"He's still alive!"

Sensing the strange chaos within the Dao Ancestor's camp, the Heavenly Pattern Divine Kingdom immediately launched a counterattack.

This battle lasted for over a century.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the Astronomical Divine Kingdom launched a counterattack and gained an absolute advantage on the battlefield of Calamity. At the same time, some of their forces returned to the Great Thousand Universe and began to purge the minions of the Strange Dao Ancestor!

For a time, the situation was very favorable.

The universe, too, gained a precious respite from the curse that had lasted for millions of years.

That was a rare opportunity that hadn't happened in fifty million years.

However, on this day a hundred years later...

The ripples in the sky gradually subsided.

"The battle is over!"

A powerful figure felt a chill run down his spine: "Who will ultimately return?"

……

Chapter 1273

Over the past century, both the battlefields of Evil Land and the vast universe have undergone earth-shattering changes.

Compared to the billions of years that the universe has experienced since the beginning of time, a mere hundred years is indeed not worth mentioning.

Even in a country ruled by ordinary people, it may have only experienced a small part of a dynasty.

However, this was a peaceful and tranquil world that had never existed in the fifty million years since the end of the Primordial Era and the reign of the strange Dao Ancestor!

The strange Dao Ancestors stormed into the Chaos, and a protracted war ensued, instantly reducing their influence over the Heavenly Dao and all worlds to its lowest point.

Some have noticed that breaking through to the Divine Realm has become much easier in the past century than before.

The heavenly tribulation remained as fierce as ever, yet some discovered that after overcoming it, they gained many insights into the Great Dao, a gift from heaven and earth, a reward for those who had survived the tribulation.

"I've never heard of such a thing before! It's as if the world itself... has suddenly come alive!"

Countless people were amazed.

In addition, a group of supernatural beings who cultivate a new system have emerged, claiming to come from the Xuan Yuan World or the Southern Star Region and other places. They have shown combat power that surpasses that of ordinary supernatural beings, and have become very popular. Some of them even travel around the world, teaching the Dao and supernatural powers under the new system, which has attracted a lot of attention.

Legend has it that the new system can make one's foundation more solid and allow one to go further on the path of cultivation.

But at the same time, many practitioners of the old system felt threatened.

If they are left to their own devices, they will eventually be surpassed by others. However, if they adopt a new system, they will need to abandon all their cultivation and start cultivating from scratch.

If you're not careful, the situation will only be worse than the previous one!

Therefore, the rise of a new system will naturally clash with the old system.

Those who possess supernatural powers within the old system and condemn the new system as heretical and deviant, deviating from ancestral laws, will inevitably suffer divine retribution sooner or later.

For quite some time, heretical and unorthodox teachings dominated the mainstream.

However, as more and more people adopted the new system, some successfully advanced to the realm of gods, gods, and even god lords, displaying combat power far exceeding their previous levels and stirring up the winds and clouds between heaven and earth. This fire of change, which was more than 50 million years late, finally blazed fiercely throughout the universe!

Finally, the first large-scale conflict broke out.

The practitioners of the old system gained the upper hand, but this battle also revealed the potential of the new system.

Despite having only one-third the number of opponents, they steadily blocked the opponent's attack and eventually retreated calmly. The name and appearance of the leader of the new system have appeared on the desks of countless people and can be described as a household name.

Zhu Youniang.

The Dao Ancestor of the New System!

That's what some people called the girl.

There are many rumors that the new system was created by a young girl.

Many people find it hard to imagine that the Dao Ancestor of the new system would be a woman. However, the facts are right in front of them. No matter how unwilling they are to believe it, they have to admit that the seemingly naive girl is incredibly talented and has suppressed many powerful enemies with one hand. Even when surrounded by powerful enemies, she still manages to retreat calmly!
