Our eldest brother never hides good things from us.

"I must admit, you juniors are too outstanding. If given some time, you might actually be able to defeat me, but unfortunately... fate has no 'what ifs'."

Jiang Zaitian also noticed the decline in the Emperor Sword's energy, and immediately fought with even greater ferocity, giving Chu Xinghe no chance to catch his breath.

"Wow, Senior Brother hasn't come out of seclusion yet...?"

Chu Xinghe was starting to feel the strain.

If he were in his prime, fighting Jiang Zaitian with the Emperor Sword would not be difficult. But now he only has 80% of his peak strength, and being able to withstand Jiang Zaitian for half a month is already his limit.

As for defeating it, that seems unlikely.

He estimated that if the fighting continued like this, he could only hold out for another day at most. He just hoped that Chang Wen could emerge from seclusion soon.

With this thought in mind, he persevered.

The more than one million people present watched with bated breath. Everyone knew that the outcome of this battle would determine the future格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) of the five regions.

It is worth mentioning that...

Chu Xinghe is too outstanding.

He rose to fame in one battle, and was firmly remembered by millions of cultivators. He was second only to Chang Wen.

"Such a talented person, if born in a prosperous era, would surely have achieved great things. It's just a pity... he was born at the wrong time..."

Even those who were not involved felt sorry for Chu Xinghe.

With his peak Mahayana cultivation, he withstood the Divine Bridge Realm for half a month without being defeated.

Such a record will be a topic of conversation for future generations even ten thousand years from now. It's simply amazing.

"It's just a pity that the fate of our human race is still just one step short..."

Ye Canghai, Su Xiong, Zhou Xuan and other supreme beings also saw that Chu Xinghe was exhausted, and their initial excitement had completely faded.

The atmosphere became oppressive again.

Lin Baoding, Ouyang Feng, and the others were also looking at Chu Xinghe, unsure of what to do.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, will a miracle happen...?"

Ouyang Feng really didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Lin Baoding.

"Disaster."

Lin Baoding said in a deep voice, "Be prepared to disband the sect at any time. If Jiang Zaitian wins the battle, he will definitely not let my Haoran Immortal Sect off the hook. We cannot let the disciples of the sect be implicated."

Upon hearing this, all the peak masters fell silent. No one had expected that their sect would fall into such a desperate situation.

"Hahaha! Rest in peace under my palm!"

Not long after.

A hearty laugh from Jiang Zaitian echoed through the arena, drawing everyone's attention.

"Is there going to be a result?"

Countless people are paying close attention.

boom--

A loud bang was heard.

Chu Xinghe was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the ground and embedding himself in a deep crater.

"Sending you on your way!"

Seeing that he had finally defeated Chu Xinghe, Jiang Zaitian dared not waste any time and immediately unleashed his ultimate attack.

Without a doubt, if this attack were to land on Chu Xinghe, it would surely annihilate him, leaving no trace of his body.

"Quickly, save Xinghe!"

Ren Yuanzi and Lin Baoding, along with other high-ranking officials of Haoran Group, disregarded the danger and took action together.

Ye Canghai and Su Xiong also decisively joined the rescue team, hoping to save Chu Xinghe.

But Jiang Zaitian is no pushover; he wouldn't let them have their way.

"Are you treating this old man like he doesn't exist?"

Jiang Zaitian chuckled lightly, and with a wave of his hand, he dissolved all the attacks into nothingness, stunning everyone. The Divine Bridge Realm was truly terrifying.

"Galaxy!!!"

The one who shouted out of control was Daofeng Peak Master Wen Dao. Chu Xinghe had been studying at Daofeng and was highly regarded by him.

Now that Chu Xinghe is in danger, he is more anxious than any of the peak masters.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Jiang Zaitian in strength and could only watch helplessly as Chu Xinghe fell into a desperate situation.

"We joined forces, and he wiped us out with a mere flick of his wrist...?"

The expressions of the six supreme beings, including Ren Yuanzi, Ye Canghai, and Su Xiong, also changed drastically, and the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered.

"...The Five Regions are completely beyond saving."

Su Xiong murmured softly, his voice filled with endless sorrow.

"well……"

Zhou Xuan couldn't bear to watch any longer and closed his eyes.

She had already foreseen the outcome.

With Chu Xinghe's fall and the destruction of the Haoran Immortal Sect, all living beings in the Five Regions became ants under Jiang Zaitian's palm, and the End of Dharma... thus began.

The million onlookers remained completely silent.

Once the divine bridge appears, all laws submit to it.

This is the predetermined outcome, an irreversible destiny.

"To fight against Heaven is to have a chance of survival. To fight against me... is to face certain death."

Jiang stood in the void, his robes fluttering in the wind. His entire body was covered in a purple-gold divine radiance, and his eyes were filled with arrogance.

Chu Xinghe is indeed very strong, but there's no way he could withstand this attack. By the time this attack ends, the Five Realms will be at their final stage.

whoosh-

The deadly beam of light was devastating, coming within inches of the bottomless pit, and was about to annihilate Chu Xinghe completely.

Zheng—

However, in that life-or-death moment, from the depths of the secret realm, a cold and ethereal sword light suddenly broke through the dawn.

The sword's cry resounded throughout the eight directions, its light pure and flawless, carrying no trace of violence, yet containing a supreme rhythm that connects Yin and Yang and suppresses all paths.

No one could see the trajectory of the sword light clearly; they only felt that the world became clear in an instant, and all the violent and rampant pressure of the divine bridge was firmly blocked by the sword light.

"Wow, there's an expert here?"

People looked on in shock, wondering what had happened. The six supreme beings, including Ren Yuanzi, also looked on with hope.

boom!!!

A deafening roar erupted.

The power of the divine bridge, which ravaged the heavens and earth, clashed violently with the pure and unparalleled sword light.

Something unexpected happened.

The purple-gold divine radiance that filled the sky actually dissipated layer by layer, and the supreme pressure that had crushed everything also began to melt away inch by inch.

That deadly strike, capable of annihilating a supreme being, was perfectly blocked by a single sword strike, without leaking out even a fraction of its power.

The entire room fell silent.

The breathing of a million cultivators suddenly stopped.

All eyes were fixed on the white-clad figure that slowly appeared.

That was the figure of a stunningly beautiful young woman.

She wore a plain white Taoist robe, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders, her figure slender and graceful, her beauty beyond compare.

It possesses both the pleasing beauty of a young girl and the world-weariness that doesn't belong to her age; the two styles are intertwined and captivating.

It was Shen Nianqing, who had just emerged from seclusion.

Judging from his aura, he was clearly at the peak of the Great Ascension stage. He was only one step away from stepping into the threshold of the Divine Bridge.

"Nianqing!?"

Xue Wuqing's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Shen Nianqing to appear at this moment.

The other peak masters' eyes also lit up, and they were stunned for a long time before they reacted.

"Nianqing can actually contend with the Divine Bridge?"

"Is the Yin-Yang Sacred Body truly so heaven-defying?"

The peak masters couldn't help but feel alarmed.

The fact that Shen Nianqing managed to intercept Jiang Zaitian's killing move shows that she is no weaker than Jiang Zaitian.

Upon receiving this news, they had no idea what to say.

And the most important point is...

"Nianqing's cultivation level is clearly at the peak of the Mahayana realm, so why does she exude an aura of the Supreme realm?"

"Could it be due to the Yin-Yang Sacred Body?"

The peak masters quickly realized something was wrong.

At this moment, the aura flowing around Shen Nianqing had already transcended the shackles of Mahayana Buddhism.

Yin and Yang energies surround his body, his Dao foundation is perfect and flawless, and all laws of the Dao bow down in worship, making him no weaker than the Supreme Realm.

What's going on...?

They were very puzzled by this, but at this point, it was clear that no one was giving them the answer.

We can only watch quietly, hoping for a miracle.
