The Eternal God Emperor and the Demon Ancestor

The God-King of the End of Dharma, a powerful being of the Death Clan, possessed cultivation reaching the boundless realm of Heaven and Earth, and was a giant master of the Illusionary Path. He slowly raised his withered hand, obscure Illusionary Path divine runes flowing from his fingertips. In an instant, illusion and reality intertwined, and an Illusionary Path world covering millions of miles of void descended with a deafening roar, trapping the God-King Yu within it.

"Bind!"

Within the illusory realm, countless nether chains formed from pure illusory laws burst forth, dancing wildly like serpents, attempting to imprison the divine body and soul of the God King Yu.

The Divine King Yu, his expression solemn, advanced instead of retreating. A flash of divine light appeared in his palm, revealing an ancient mirror. On the mirror, starlight swirled, and a thousand auspicious wisps of energy emanated. This was a sub-divine level supreme artifact from the early civilization of Xuanming Mirror Heaven. The mirror shone brightly, and the chains that were powerful enough to annihilate ordinary great gods crumbled like ice meeting the blazing sun, swallowed whole by the mirror.

The next instant, the Divine King Yu flicked his wrist, and the Radiance of the Xuanming Mirror reversed, unleashing a divine fire containing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. The divine fire transformed into a ten-thousand-foot-long fire dragon, its roar shaking the nine heavens, instantly burning away the illusory world that the Divine King of the End of Dharma had painstakingly built, revealing the originally pitch-black void of the universe.

"Hmph, I underestimated you!"

The God-King of the End of Dharma snorted coldly, took a step out of the temple, and a blade-shaped sacred weapon shrouded in deathly aura appeared in his hand. This weapon was called the Death Soul Blade. This blade was also a sub-god-level supreme sacred weapon. Wherever its blade touched, space was easily torn apart like thin paper, and its sharpness was unparalleled.

King Yu dared not be negligent, knowing that this battle was unavoidable, and channeled all his divine power into the Xuanming Mirror. The Xuanming Mirror was forged by a former celestial lord of the Tianchu Civilization, modeled after the divine artifact, the Azure Sky Mirror. Now, driven by divine power, its surface reflected the heavens, clashing fiercely with the chilling blade light of the Death Soul Blade in the void. Each clash sent forth countless dazzling sparks, illuminating this star field as bright as day.

When two god-kings of the Boundless Realm clashed, it was truly a clash of titans; for a moment, their divine power surged, and it was difficult to determine who was superior.

However, the battle situation changed in an instant. Seeing the fierce battle between the Yu God King and the End-of-Dharma God King, with their backs wide open, the Azure Deer God King began to plot. His Asura Divine Sword, wielded with such force that it forced back the Giant Spirit King of the Giant Spirit Civilization, flashed a sinister glint in his eyes. He subtly manipulated the laws of space, his figure shifting like a ghost, instantly appearing behind the Yu God King.

"Great Asura Finger!"

The Azure Deer God King suddenly launched an attack, unleashing his full killing intent. With a flick of his finger, as fast as lightning, he tore through the barrier of space, condensing the ultimate sharpness of the killing path, and pierced straight into the back of the Brilliant God King.

"King Yu, watch out behind you!" The Giant Spirit King, who arrived late, let out a desperate roar upon seeing this, but it was too late to help.

"puff!"

The Asura Divine Finger pierced through the Supreme Sacred Artifact Armor on the body of the Yu God King as if it were nothing, and struck his divine body heavily. A violent killing intent instantly exploded within his body, causing the Yu God King's divine body to shatter and nearly destroy most of it.

"Strike while the iron is hot!" The God-King of the End of Dharma was overjoyed at the sight. His Death Soul Blade, trailing a chilling dark light, slashed away the Mirror of Proclaimed Clarity in the hands of the God-King Yu, sending it flying billions of miles. Immediately afterward, he channeled his death power, pouring it into the Death Soul Blade like a tidal wave, and plunged it fiercely into the God-King Yu's broken divine body, intending to kill him with a single blow.

Despite enduring excruciating pain and feeling as if his soul was about to shatter, the Divine King Yu unleashed an astonishing will at the critical moment of life and death. He used his last bit of divine power to summon back the Mirror of Profound Light, and the mirror surface burst forth with brilliant divine light. He then used a divine power of all heavens to forcefully push the Divine King of the End of Dharma back several steps.

But at this moment, the Divine King Yu was already at his limit. Not only was his divine body severely damaged, but a domineering Asura Heavenly Dao rule was also raging within him, like a maggot clinging to his bones, destroying his life force, making even igniting his divine source extremely difficult.

"Hahaha! Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Qinglu!" The God-King of the End of Dharma sneered repeatedly, his gaze fixed on the tottering God-King Yu. "Luo Yu, today is the day you fall!"

Having said that, he mobilized all his death energy, which gathered like a black ocean. The Death Soul Blade in his hand grew wildly, transforming into a colossal death blade that blotted out the sky and stretched for 100,000 miles. The God-King of the End of Dharma's body rose taller, transforming into a towering giant, gripping the giant blade, his face contorted with ferocious killing intent.

"Luo Yu, today I will bury your bones in this Boundless Divine Sea!"

With a furious roar, the giant blade swept across. The space of the million-mile-long sea was instantly shattered, and the incomparably sharp blade was aimed directly at the head of the God King Yu.

Blood trickled from the corner of Yu Shenwang's mouth, a resolute glint in his eyes. He had intended to self-destruct his divine source and perish with his enemy, but the Asura Heavenly Dao rules suppressed him relentlessly, making even self-destruction difficult.

"Yuan Zhongmo, even if it costs me my soul and spirit, I will make you suffer a great loss!"

The Divine King Yu let out a mournful howl, pouring all his remaining divine power into the Mirror of Profound Light. Instantly, the divine mirror transformed into a bright moon that illuminates the past and present, and with resolute determination, it met the descending giant blade of death.

"Boom!"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, a terrifying shockwave swept across millions of miles, instantly reducing countless floating islands to dust. After a brief stalemate, the Divine King Yu finally exhausted his strength, and the bright moon was forcefully severed by the Death Soul Blade, sending the Xuanming Mirror flying back.

The Divine King Yu was sent flying by immense force, his divine blood staining the vast sea for tens of thousands of miles. A hideous bloodstain on his chest was a shocking sight, and the power of death, like a maggot clinging to a bone, frantically eroded the wound.

Seeing this, the God-King of the End of Dharma withdrew some of his killing intent and instead tried to persuade him gently: "Luo Yu, as long as you are willing to lead the Heavenly Beginning Civilization to surrender to my Death God Temple, I am willing to advise Ancestor Qing to ensure that your Heavenly Beginning Civilization becomes the eleventh race outside of the ten races of the Hell Realm! What do you say?"

The Azure Deer God King, who had been locked in combat with the Giant Spirit King, also stopped, his gaze fixed warily on the Yu God King. If the Tianchu Civilization were to defect, the ancient civilization's defenses would crumble without a fight.

Upon hearing this, the Divine King Yu revealed a disdainful sneer: "Kill me if you want! Even if I were to self-destruct my divine source, I would never associate with you evil heretics!"

The God-King of the End of Dharma flew into a rage: "Stubborn fool! Since you seek death, I will grant your wish! After conquering the Celestial Beginning Civilization, I will surely slaughter your entire Celestial Beginning lineage and see if everyone has your backbone!"

Having said that, the Death Soul Blade blazed with intense black light, aiming straight for the head of the God King Yu. At the same time, he summoned the divine temple behind him, suppressing the surrounding spacetime to prevent the God King Yu from self-destructing.

Just as the Divine King Yu was sinking to the bottom and preparing to detonate his divine source with his last divine soul, a sudden change occurred!

The temperature in this space suddenly soared, as if it had instantly transformed into a fiery inferno. In the distance, a crimson-gold palm print, spanning tens of thousands of miles, pierced through the sky. On the palm print, the ultimate Heavenly Fire burned fiercely, and wherever it passed, millions of miles of sea instantly evaporated, and the void turned into crystal.

"The Heavenly Fire Calamity!"

A sharp shout resounded through the heavens. The palm print was unstoppable, shattering the spatial domain of the God-King of the End of Dharma with a single blow, and even knocking over the temple that suppressed the void for ten thousand miles!

"Who?! How dare you ruin my plans!"

The God-King of the End of Dharma was greatly alarmed. He transformed his death power into thousands of demonic blades and slashed at the palm print, but they were like mud oxen entering the sea.

Ripples spread through the air as a figure riding a blue ox strode in, his divine might as a chariot, his voice shaking the heavens: "The God-King of the End of Dharma, what great power you have! You dare to suppress and kill even the God-King of my Heavenly Court! An ignorant person would think you have already attained enlightenment throughout the heavens!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the Divine King Yu's pale face lit up with wild joy: "Brother Zhenyu! You've finally arrived!"

The visitor was none other than True Universe God-King, who had come from the Primordial Realm at his invitation.

"Hmph, who do we have here? It's just that brat Zhenyu from the Five Elements Temple!" The God King of the End of Dharma recognized the newcomer. Although he was wary in his heart, he pretended to be contemptuous on the surface.

Zhen Yu laughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell: "You old man of the Dharma's end, I've been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time I've come to this Boundless Divine Sea since then. But I never expected to find my old friend nearly killed by you. It seems I must act on behalf of Heaven today and help you loosen your limbs!"

"Sharp-tongued! You dare to rant here after just breaking through to the Boundless Realm? In this Boundless Divine Sea, the Five Elements Master can't protect you!" The End-of-Dharma God King laughed in anger, and the death energy behind him gathered, transforming into a world-destroying divine dragon that devoured heaven and earth, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Zhenyu.

Zhenyu remained calm and composed. Behind him, the Divine Image of Fire Dao rose from the ground, with countless Divine Runes of Fire Dao swirling around his body. The Burning Universe Divine Fire, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, the Capital Heaven Divine Fire, the Refining Divine Fire, the Purifying Divine Fire, the Phoenix Divine Fire... dozens of top-tier divine fires from the universe gathered in his palm, instantly transforming this star field into an unparalleled fiery domain.

"A raging inferno engulfs the heavens!"

Behind Zhenyu, the divine image transformed into a fire giant millions of miles tall. With a single punch, divine flames surged forth, instantly incinerating the Death Dragon into nothingness. Immediately afterward, the fire giant unleashed another punch, transforming into a towering pillar of fire that struck directly at the face of the End-of-Dharma God King.

The God-King of the End of Dharma was terrified and hastily summoned his temple for defense. However, the pillar of fire was unstoppable, piercing through the temple and blasting the God-King of the End of Dharma away. A huge hole was burned into the center of his divine body, leaving it charred black.

The fire giant's offensive continued, with a third punch following closely behind. Knowing he was outmatched, the God-King of the End of Dharma, a flicker of pain in his eyes, directly detonated the Primordial-level Supreme Sacred Artifact Temple!

boom--!

Space shattered, and a storm raged. Zhenyu snorted coldly, controlling the fire giant to open its mouth and swallow the entire destructive storm whole. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the God King of the End of Dharma transformed into a wisp of black smoke and fled in a sorry state.

Looking in the direction where the Dharma-ending Age had fled, Zhenyu stood with his hands behind his back and laughed, "This old man is quite willing to give up, detonating a Primordial Chaos-level Sacred Artifact so easily."

Immediately, he waved his sleeve, and the shattered space was smoothed out in an instant, as if no battle had ever taken place.

Yu Shenwang dragged his heavily injured body forward and exclaimed, "Brother Zhenyu, I never expected your combat power to be so astonishing after breaking through to the Boundless Realm. It seems that our Dao Sect will have another supreme being among the heavens in the future."

Zhenyu leaped off the blue ox and came to the side of the Divine King Yu, laughing loudly, "Brother Luo, we haven't seen each other for tens of thousands of years, how come we look so miserable the moment we meet?"

As he spoke, he took out a pill with five-colored divine essence flowing through it: "This is the Rebirth Pill. Take it first."

Without hesitation, King Yu accepted the medicine and swallowed it. The medicinal power immediately dissolved, beginning to repair his divine body. However, a crimson Asura Heavenly Dao rule lingered within him, like a leech, relentlessly suppressing the medicinal power.

Zhenyu frowned slightly, his eyes flashing like lightning: "How domineering is the Asura Heavenly Dao! Who laid this trap? Which giant of the Asura clan made the move?"

Yu Shenwang gritted his teeth: "It was Qinglu Shenwang! He attacked me from behind with the 'Great Asura Finger' while I was fighting the End of Dharma!"

Zhenyu's gaze was sharp, piercing through the void in an instant, and he looked into the distance. He saw that the Azure Deer God King was holding the Asura Divine Sword, cutting down the Giant Spirit King and forcing him to retreat step by step. One of his arms had been severed, and his divine body was riddled with holes.

"The Asura Heavenly Dao of the Azure Deer God King is indeed unfathomable. Let me heal your injuries first."

Zhenyu flicked a divine fire from his fingertip, which entered the body of the Divine King Yu. The domineering Asura Heavenly Dao rules were instantly annihilated under the burning of the divine fire.

At the same time, the Azure Deer God King, who was torturing the Giant Spirit King, suddenly changed his expression. As his divine sense spread out, he sensed that the Asura Heavenly Dao he had placed on the Yu God King had been erased. His gaze was as deep and cold as a pool, his divine eyes piercing through the void, colliding with Zhen Yu's gaze across the distance, and a chilling killing intent penetrated straight to the soul.

"That's interesting. The Five Elements Sect has produced a formidable figure."

The Azure Deer God-King's voice was indifferent, his divine radiance surged, and a million-mile-long azure deer statue materialized behind him. Its antlers were like two heaven-splitting divine swords, cleaving down with the force to tear the sky apart, instantly slicing the Giant Spirit King's mountain-like divine body into several pieces. A ferocious beast-like divine thought surged, attempting to directly devour the Giant Spirit King's divine core essence.

Upon seeing this, the Divine King Yu was greatly alarmed. He transformed into a stream of light and was about to rush forward to help, but was stopped by Zhen Yu's outstretched arm.

Zhenyu shook his head slightly, his gaze passing over the Azure Deer God King and looking into the far-off depths of the void behind him. His expression suddenly became serious: "It's not over yet... Look over there."

Before the words were even finished, the void behind the Azure Deer God King suddenly distorted, and a blood-red divine realm slowly rose, like a fallen blood sun hanging in the sky, its crimson divine light spreading out and enveloping the billions of miles of the Boundless Divine Sea. A towering divine figure, tens of millions of miles tall, materialized from the divine realm, its divine might sweeping across the eight wastelands, its body entwined with endless killing intent. Wherever it passed, life in the world was extinguished, instantly transforming into a chilling battlefield of carnage.

"Even the Divine Lord Ni Xuan has come in person." Zhen Yu spoke in a deep voice, his divine tone carrying a hint of solemnity. "The Hell Realm has been silent for tens of thousands of years. It seems that the destruction of the Taiwei Realm gave them an opportunity to break through the Starry Sky Array of the Fallen God Island Master."

Yu Shenwang's face turned deathly pale, his brows furrowed with worry. He said urgently, "The situation has deteriorated to this point. It seems I must return to Tianchu Civilization immediately and ask Father God to come out of seclusion and take charge of the overall situation."

Yu Shenwang's father was Luo Yifeng, the old Heavenly Lord of the Tianchu Civilization. At that time, he was in seclusion in the ancestral land of the civilization because the Ninth Yuanhui calamity was about to arrive. He was studying the treasure Luoshu Hetu and wanted to use the power of the treasure to break through another realm before the calamity came and consolidate his own foundation.

Zhenyu, on the contrary, appeared calm, a slight smile playing on his lips. He said, "God King, please be patient. We are not yet at our wits' end. Haotian and all the heavens will have their own solutions. Today, let's first meet these 'distinguished guests' from the Underworld."

Yu Shenwang sighed deeply, his gaze fixed on the shattered body of the Giant Spirit King, filled with regret: "It's such a pity about the Giant Spirit King. He was the pillar of the Giant Spirit civilization and the eldest son of the Giant Spirit Old Heavenly Lord. Today, he has perished here. When the Giant Spirit Old Heavenly Lord learns of this tragic news, he will probably find it hard to let it go."

Zhenyu also looked helpless and nodded slightly. The combat power of the Azure Deer God King was far more complex than they had imagined. Now that the Ni Xuan God Venerable had arrived, it would only increase casualties if the two of them rashly went forward.

Zhenyu said, "The best course of action now is for us to return to our main camp and see what arrangements the Heavenly Palace will make next." Yu Shenwang also agreed, and the two of them crossed space and hurriedly returned to the Heavenly Court's main camp in the Wuding Divine Sea.
