This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

The Heavenly Emperor and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Is that... the direction of the Outer Heavens?"

"Oh no! Master Li's predictions were true! There really was power surpassing that of an Emperor that directly destroyed the entire Outer Heaven..."

Li Daoxuan leaped into the air and shouted sharply:

"What are you waiting for? Run..."

Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they all used their abilities to escape this dimensional void.

A golden magic array appeared beneath Li Daoxuan's feet. He quickly formed hand seals and used the supernatural technique of shifting stars and changing constellations to prevent himself from being swept into the turbulent currents of spacetime power within the dimensional void while traversing the void.

The Divine Venerable Ziying unfurled his golden divine wings, and with a sudden flap, the void in front of him collapsed instantly, carrying her away from the spot.

Emperor Prince Chang Geng conjured a golden spear in his hand, swung it out, crushing the void before him, and then used his incomparably powerful physique to withstand the turbulent void currents and pass through.

Sikong Shuo's body trembled, and his entire body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist, which then seeped into the void and left the place.

The last to leave was the Heavenly Emperor. He first put away his flying boat, then raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

A vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, and then the line gradually separated, transforming into a third eye.

There were no pupils in his eyes, only a dazzling seven-colored divine light.

Divine light burst forth, and a void passage appeared before him, within which a heavenly path emerged.

The Heavenly Emperor stepped onto the Heavenly Road, unhurried and leisurely, leaving this place as if taking a stroll in a garden.

Just as everyone used their supernatural powers to leave the dimensional void, this void, which was specially created for quasi-emperor level powerhouses to fight, began to tremble.

The power that erupted from the farthest reaches first destroyed these small grotto-heavens that depended on the greater天地 (heaven and earth) for survival.

After Li Daoxuan and his group left, the other humans and alien races in this small cave also used their methods to escape. Some of them, who did not have a deep understanding of spatial power, were swept away by the turbulent currents while traversing and were banished outside of time and space. They may never be able to return until their death.

No one knows what happened deep within the outer heavens.

What exactly did those emperors do?

Why would someone do something so terrifying and defy the heavens?

How many living beings live within the boundless realm of the Outer Heavens?

Now that everything has been destroyed in one fell swoop, the resulting carnage is simply unimaginable.

But Li Daoxuan and his group have no time to deal with this matter now. If they don't find a way to protect themselves, they will probably all perish here.

Judging from the results in later generations, this cataclysmic upheaval did not seem to have harmed the other six states of the Xuanhuang Great World.

In other words, they can escape danger as long as they return to the location of the six states of Xuanyu.

The Heavenly Emperor and the others had all thought of this, but apart from Sikong Shuo, the Heavenly Emperor, Ziying God, and Chang Geng were not in a hurry to leave.

Because each of them also has many younger relatives in these three states.

They won't abandon these younger generations.

Otherwise, even if they survived, their tribe would likely suffer immense trauma, leading to a period of decline and a lack of future generations. It would take thousands of years for them to recover, and they might even fall from grace and lose their divine status.

Seeing that the others had stayed behind, Sikong Shuo couldn't help but sneer:

"Hmph... Such womanly compassion. Once you're all dead, I will be the only Quasi-Emperor in the Xuanhuang Great World..."

"boom..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Shuo suddenly stopped.

Then a terrifying force erupted, and he was sent flying backward.

It was as if he had crashed into an invisible wall in the void.

Although it wouldn't kill Sikong Shuo, it did cause his blood and qi to surge, and his internal organs were greatly shaken.

Sikong Shuo stared ahead in disbelief, his divine sense spreading out, and sure enough, he discovered a barrier that even he could not overcome.

"What's going on? Why is there a barrier?"

Without saying a word, Sikong Shuo punched the barrier directly.

"boom..."

A terrifying power erupted, shattering the void and distorting the light. However, all the power stopped at this side of the barrier, while the other side remained calm and undisturbed.

But the barrier was completely undamaged.

"How could this happen?"

Sikong Shuo still refused to believe in superstitions. He looked up at the sky, then his figure soared upwards, and in an instant he arrived in the heavens.

What made him even more desperate was that the sky had also been sealed off.

Then he saw a sight that shocked him so much that his mind became unstable.

Looking down from above, the earth beyond that barrier appears to be rapidly splitting apart.

A void of chaos appeared in the crack in the earth.

This crack seemed to stretch across the entire earth, with no end in sight, whether you looked to the right or the left.

"This is... the origin of the three desolate states? That Taoist priest... wasn't wrong..."

Sikong Shuo felt dizzy and his mind was about to collapse.

"They...they're going to take the three states and the entire Outer Heavens with them..."

"To bring about the annihilation of hundreds of millions of lives in these three states..."

Sikong Shuo was deeply moved; such skill and boldness were simply unimaginable.

Looking back, his title of Ancestor of Annihilation was earned through countless battles and bloodshed, but compared to this, it's utterly insignificant...

Just then, the terrifying power they had sensed in the dimensional void began to spread to the three continents.

Although they are still more than 100,000 miles apart, it wouldn't take long for a force of this level to sweep over.

This is a power capable of destroying the heavens and the earth; even a quasi-emperor like him would have no chance of survival in the face of such power.

"It's over..."

Sikong Shuo looked utterly hopeless.

He now had only one thought: he hoped that this experience was nothing more than an illusionary trial set up by the Xuanhuang Ancient Path.

Rather than actually existing.

On the other side, after leaving the dimensional void, the Heavenly Emperor and his companions immediately began summoning the descendants of their respective clans.

They sensed the arrival of that power and knew that even if they used all their means, they might not be able to protect these younger generations, but they still had to try.

Even if one were to perish on this battlefield, it could only be said to be fate, something one could do nothing about.

Just as the clans of the three quasi-emperors were rapidly gathering, Li Daoxuan arrived in front of Qingfeng and the others.

Wang Jingshu has finished refining the Yin Lotus and emerged from seclusion. The four of them, her fellow disciples, are sitting together, discussing how to contact their master.

In the blink of an eye, their master appeared beside them.

Before Qingfeng and the others could even greet him, Li Daoxuan raised his hand and summoned the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron, which was being nurtured in Qingfeng's sea of ​​consciousness.

Li Daoxuan looked at the Xuanhuang Cauldron with a solemn expression and said:

"Old buddy, it's all up to you now..."

The Xuanhuang Cauldron emitted an unpredictable, dark yellow light, as if it too sensed the approaching danger.

Li Daoxuan, holding the Xuanhuang Cauldron in his hands, turned to look at the sky and said:

"Your Majesty, Senior Chang Geng, Divine Venerable Zi Ying, why don't we join forces and try to see if we can withstand this calamity?"
