Indeed, the Yuhuang Ancestor was not at all worried about Xia Ritian using this bizarre means to gain the power of the Earth Sovereign Realm.

Contrary to everyone’s concerns, there was a hint of anticipation in the Yuhuang Ancestor’s heart.

In the eyes of Yuhuang Ancestor, Xia Ritian was an invincible existence to everyone.

But at this moment, in front of the Yuhuang Ancestor, he seemed like a true great supplement.

It’s been a long time since the Yuhuang Ancestor tasted a human expert of the Earth Sovereign Realm level.

At the thought of the impending "delicacy," an uncontrollable excitement surged in the Yuhuang Ancestor’s eyes.

"Boom!"

A muffled loud noise suddenly exploded from the depths of the void.

The sound was incredibly penetrating, deep and heavy.

This was the lament of the void space under the crushing pressure of a terrifying aura.

The air was filled with a heart-palpitating oppression, as if the entire world was teetering under this force.

Looking at Xia Ritian ahead, his face was originally majestic.

A huge mysterious bird pattern was slowly emerging.

The pattern squirmed like a living creature, spreading from the center of his brow to his neck, eventually covering his entire body.

Each line of the pattern shimmered with a dim light, as if countless tiny mysterious birds were swimming beneath his skin.

As the mysterious bird tattoo gradually appeared, Xia Ritian’s aura.

In an astonishing frenzy, surged rapidly, rising to an unprecedented terrifying state.

Everything around was wildly stirred by this surging aura, forming whirlpools of air visible to the naked eye.

Everyone could clearly feel a powerful oppressive force strong enough to destroy heaven and earth rushing towards them.

Pressing down on those below the Earth Venerable Realm, making them difficult to breathe, nearly suffocating.

Earth Sovereign Realm!

Xia Ritian finally successfully stepped into this legendary realm, which countless cultivators dreamed of but found unattainable.

"Not enough... still not enough..."

Xia Ritian suddenly frowned, he felt the power in his body diminishing at an alarming rate.

This forced elevation of realm, evidently couldn’t last!

However, Xia Ritian was still somewhat satisfied.

The comprehension of the Earth Sovereign Realm indeed had a profound impact on him.

It was at this moment—

"Hehehe..."

A low laughter emanated from the Yuhuang Ancestor’s chest, sounding as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, carrying a chilly coldness that sent shivers down one’s spine.

He was seen gripping the Greenwood Divine Staff tightly, then suddenly plunging the staff towards the void below.

With this action, ripples spread in the surrounding space, as if it was forcibly torn open by this power.

"This ancestor has waited too long for this moment."

The Yuhuang Ancestor’s voice was hoarse and low, filled with endless greed and desire.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between clenched teeth, echoing in this space for a long time.

Boom——!!!

The world suddenly changed color!

A terrifying world filled with purple-red flames descended without warning!

The entire Linking Island was instantly surrounded, the sky above turning into a boiling sea of flames, the earth into a lava purgatory.

Countless pillars of purple-red fire shot into the sky, burning large black holes in the space.

The most terrifying thing is—these purple-red flames were actually burning the Heaven and Earth Laws!

"What!"

Xia Ritian’s pupils contracted abruptly, the chains of world rules around him let out ear-piercing "zzzz" sounds in the flames, then began to break inch by inch!

The Yuhuang Ancestor’s figure twisted and transformed in the purple-red sea of flames, finally morphing into a gigantic bird-shaped beast.

Beside him, Empress Xia Mingyue reacted swiftly, instantly summoning the Profound Bird Cauldron.

In an instant, an ancient and heavy mysterious black light bloomed.

The Profound Bird Cauldron hung steadily above her head, enveloping her, forming an indestructible defensive barrier.

But the power of this purple-red flame wave was too terrifying, just as the Profound Bird Cauldron was suspended in place, it was heavily struck by a surging wave of fire.

With a loud "boom", scorching heat instantly transferred to the cauldron, turning its body red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Empress Xia Mingyue felt an overwhelming force rushing towards her, her throat sweetened, couldn’t help but groan, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

She gripped tightly with both hands, trying to stabilize herself, but the impact was too great, causing her body to tremble uncontrollably.

The six elders beside Empress Xia Mingyue also couldn’t escape unscathed.

This terrifying impact was unstoppable, howling as it swept towards them, violently blasting them away.

Their bodies flew uncontrollably backwards, drawing arcs in mid-air.

Eventually being blown several kilometers away, breaking countless lava mountains along the way, raising a sky full of scorching magma!

Meanwhile, Xia Ritian’s expression changed dramatically, he found that the Earth Sovereign power he had just gained was being gradually suppressed by this flame world.

"Did you think... this ancestor let you breakthrough for a reason?"

The Yuhuang Ancestor’s eyes sparkled with greed, "Fresh Earth Sovereign humans... are the most delicious supplements!"

"And you, woman, reveal yourself to this demon ancestor."

The Yuhuang Ancestor’s voice echoed once again in this space, carrying an undeniable majesty.

As he gave a firm pause with the Greenwood Divine Staff in hand.

The entire flame world seemed to be injected with a new violent power, suddenly unleashing an indescribable terrifying pressure.

This pressure, like a raging tsunami, instantly swept through the entire void.
