Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

Beyond the world, in the boundless void, the Demon Lord from the Heavenly Demon Realm still maintained the posture of raising his hand forward.

A gigantic black hand traversed countless layers of void, already touching the world barrier that this realm had just completed its upgrade.

According to his original plan, all he needed to do was take one more step forward.

Inside the world, the wisp of origin that was reborn as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Liang Dynasty will bring seven demonic saints and tear open the last line of defense between heaven and earth.

His true form, at the pinnacle of True Immortal, would forcibly suppress the entire world from the outside.

With the help of both inside and outside forces, they seized the Heavenly Dao and instantly refined the foundation of this world.

He then borrowed the immense power of ascension from a world that had risen from the Lesser Thousand to the Middle Thousand, and broke through the threshold beyond True Immortal in one fell swoop.

Centuries of waiting have finally come to an end.

But just as the Demon Lord reached out his hand, his expression suddenly changed.

"Um?"

The world is changing at an abnormally rapid pace.

Just moments before, he could clearly feel that wisp of his own essence.

The next moment, the connection weakened, and the next moment... it was severed!?

The Demon Lord's enormous body trembled violently.

Deep within one's soul, a once whole place seems to have had a corner forcibly removed by human hands.

That was not an ordinary avatar, nor was it a clone that could be casually conjured.

In order to circumvent the rules of this world, he actually severed a wisp of his own essence and sent it into the world to be reborn.

It is precisely because it is the true origin that the Great Liang National Preceptor was able to grow continuously over hundreds of years, and even gradually rise to the position of the strongest human.

But now, that wisp of origin is gone.

"Gu Changjin!"

The Demon Lord understood who did it almost instantly, and his anger exploded, distorting the surrounding void with his invisible demonic thoughts.

This really damaged his foundation.

If we can successfully devour this upgraded Middle Thousand World later, everything will be much easier.

The foundation of this realm is vast enough that it can not only be repaired, but it can even allow him to truly take that step.

But what if the final foundation of the world isn't as complete as expected...?

That damage to his very essence could even cause him to fall directly from the limit of True Immortal!

"court death!"

Enraged, the Demon Lord thrust his massive black hand forward once more, his five fingers spread wide.

Boundless demonic energy condensed in his palm into a massive vortex that seemed capable of swallowing the sun and moon.

Now that the internal pawns are gone, centuries of planning and schemes have been shattered.

No problem! Let's do it ourselves! We can't just come back empty-handed, can we?

The rules of this newly upgraded Middle Thousand World are not yet fully stable.

He refused to believe he had no chance at all.

But just then, the Demon Lord suddenly discovered a problem.

The world before my eyes... seems to be moving.

It was neither an anomaly in the internal rules of the world, nor a tremor in the barriers of this world.

The entire world has shifted its position in the void.

The Demon Lord was taken aback.

"What is it?"

The next second, the enormous world that had been quietly floating in the void suddenly accelerated.

It hurtled towards him...!

Demon Lord: "?＼(◎o◎)／!"

He had lived for countless years, witnessing the spectacular collapse of the world and the transformation of an entire realm by powerful beings.

You could bring an entire real Middle Thousand World to crash into someone...

This is the first time he's ever seen him like this!

"Are you crazy?!"

Boom!! Boom! Boom!!

The Demon Lord only had time to let out a roar.

The whole world has crashed into him.

There were no fancy supernatural powers or mysterious immortal techniques.

It's just the purest... collision!

A newly upgraded Middle Thousand World, with endless mountains and rivers, countless beings, and complete rules, carrying the weight and status of the entire world, rolled over head-on.

The Demon Lord's outstretched, pitch-black giant hand shattered first, followed by his arm, shoulder, and half of his demonic body...

Faced with the true power of a realm, even his physical body, at the limit of a True Immortal, appeared extremely fragile.

"open!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the Demon Lord could no longer care about anything else. His brow split open, and a dark miniature world instantly unfolded behind him.

That is one of the foundations upon which true immortals truly stand in the immortal realm.

The Great Dao itself transforms into rules, and the rules intertwine to form boundaries.

Even a small realm belonging to oneself is enough to completely differentiate True Immortals from ordinary cultivators.

boom!

The Lesser Realm and the Middle Thousand Worlds collide head-on.

The first impact caused the Demon Lord's small realm to cave in, countless rules to break on the spot, mountains and rivers to crumble, and the void to crack.

The entire small world resembled a porcelain bowl struck by a boulder, with countless cracks instantly spreading to every corner.

The Demon Lord was sent flying countless miles away by the impact.

By the time that middle-thousand world had passed by him, he was covered in demonic blood and his aura had plummeted.

"madman……"

"madman!"

Looking at his small world, which was on the verge of collapse, he saw genuine fear in his eyes for the first time.

How can we fight like this?

The opponent is not fighting him alone at all.

The whole world is attacking him! No, to be precise, this guy is using the Central Heaven World to ram into him?!

The Demon Lord turned and ran.

But they had only escaped a short distance.

He suddenly felt the void behind him begin to tremble again.

That feeling... it's strangely familiar.

The Demon Lord turned around stiffly.

The Middle Thousand Worlds that had just crashed past him actually slowly turned in a different direction in the void.

Then, it came back.

"no?"

The Demon Lord's eyes widened in surprise.

"You can do that?!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The second impact was even more severe than the first.

The already dilapidated little world lasted for less than a breath.

Click!

A cracking sound, audible only to the Demon Lord, rang out.

Then the entire small world exploded completely, and countless fragments of his rules scattered into the void.

The Demon Lord spat out a mouthful of black blood, his True Immortal aura as if it had been severed by a single blade.

A sudden fall!

"No!"

The true immortal status he had painstakingly cultivated for countless years was gone.

But Gu Changjin clearly had no intention of stopping.

The Demon Lord hadn't even recovered from the excruciating pain of the small world's collapse.

The third time, that familiar world came again.

This time, he didn't even have the energy to curse.

All I could see was an ever-growing world barrier that filled the entire field of vision.

boom!

The next second, the demonic body shattered, its soul broke, and its very essence collapsed.

A powerful demon lord of the Heavenly Demon Realm, a true immortal at the pinnacle of power, capable of traversing countless realms and plotting to ascend to the next level in one realm.

And so it was crushed three times by a middle-thousand-world system.

In the end, only a tattered remnant of demonic energy remained, floating in the void, much like something crushed by a car on the roadside.

Within the world, Gu Changjin's consciousness permeated mountains, rivers, sun, and moon.

He paused for a moment, looking at the mangled remains of the Demon Lord outside, which were almost unrecognizable.

Then he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What Demon Lord? That's so lame! I thought it was a speed bump."

He said that, but his hands didn't slow down at all.

The barrier of the world trembled slightly, and a chain formed from the laws of heaven and earth instantly reached into the void, coiling towards the remnants of the Demon Lord.

"Since we're already here..."
