His right hand, wrapped in the rule power of the world, slowly lifted; the movement seemed leisurely, yet carried an undeniable majesty.

In the palm of his hand, the Ten-pattern Day Artifact Profound Bird Celestial Seal was like an ancient relic being awakened, instantly bursting forth with an extremely dazzling black light.

This black light was so bright that everything around it became overshadowed, stinging the eyes of the onlookers.

At that very moment the light appeared, the Profound Bird Celestial Seal was like a treasury of endless might, completely opened.

Countless streams of black brilliance overflowed, like a surging black torrent, emitting madly from the Profound Bird Celestial Seal with an unstoppable momentum.

Each of these black brilliance contained terrifying energy fluctuations.

They carved strange arcs through the air, instantly meeting the sky-covering, seemingly all-consuming purple-gold fire column torrent.

The black brilliance and the purple-gold fire column erupted into a deafening roar upon contact.

The sound was like a chaotic boom from the dawn of time, making the eardrums of those in the secret realm ache, leaving them unable to stand.

At the point of collision, the space seemed to be kneaded and twisted by invisible giant hands, with black cracks like spider webs rapidly spreading out.

The purple-gold flames and the black brilliance entangled and devoured each other, the two entirely different forces clashing madly.

The waves of energy released spread outward in layers, pulverizing mountains and boulders along the way into dust, disappearing without a trace.

Under this world-destroying collision of forces, the entire world of flames started to stagger and collapse. The surrounding space cracked constantly, like old paper.

Shocking black fissures spread at will, shredding everything in their path.

The air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell mixed with the strange scent of energy collision, suffocating all.

The earth began to shudder violently, numerous mountains of lava crashing down amidst the tremors.

Scalding magma surged from the depths of the earth, intertwining with the raging purple-gold flames and black brilliance in the sky, forming an apocalyptic horrific scene.

Even this world of flames seemed on the brink of complete collapse, like an unprecedented world explosion was imminent.

At this moment, Xia Ritian’s power clashed intensely with the power of Ancestor Yuhuang, both involving the rule power of the world.

Undoubtedly, it was like two different worlds engaging in frictionless collision, frantically opposing each other.

This level of force collision had long surpassed the understanding of ordinary people, each impact causing the laws of reality to become disordered.

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this moment, flowing rapidly at times and stagnating slowly at others.

The dimensions of space also became chaotic and unclear, with the concepts of up and down, left and right, blurred beyond recognition.

In this extreme chaos resembling the advent of apocalypse and the shattering of order, the entire world was suffused with a chilling atmosphere of death.

Beside Xia Mingyue, the six ancestors seemed like flickering candles in the wind, their faces pale, bodies slightly trembling.

Every inch of their skin was filled with deep helplessness and fear.

On the other side, the people with the Nether Python were equally pressed by this invisible pressure, cold sweat soaking their backs, eyes filled with horror.

The reality displayed before them mercilessly proved that the power of the Earth Venerable Realm master was not something challengable by Martial Artists below the True Void Sovereign.

As several breaths of time silently passed, drops of crimson blood light continuously oozed from Xia Ritian’s eyes.

This seemingly evenly matched confrontation was actually filled with undercurrents, and unknowingly, Xia Ritian had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage.

Ancestor Yuhuang’s power was vast and boundless, approaching infinitely close to the small completion stage of the Earth Venerable Realm master’s tier.

This world-destroying absolute power was not something Xia Ritian, a Pseudo Earth Venerable, could easily contend with or defeat.

"Nine Heavens Profound Bird Skill!"

"True Self as One, the Profound Extremes Soaring!"

Just as Xia Ritian’s physical body was about to collapse.

A cold yet resolute voice slowly echoed.

It was Empress Xia Mingyue!

In an instant, the aura around Empress Xia Mingyue seemed to break free and soar madly toward the sky.

A terrifyingly oppressive aura swept across the entire world of flames.

The original world of pure burning flames suddenly looked as if a giant invisible hand had torn open a crack.

A sliver of almost invisible yet infinitely mysterious black light shot down from the heavens.

Then, an ancient birdsong penetrated the spatial barriers, precisely reaching everyone’s ears.

The ancientness and majesty contained in that sound made everyone tremble.

Lu Xuan, hiding in the void, was originally lounging comfortably on a chair condensed from his power.

At this moment, he suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes flickering with a black-gold flame.

Within that flame was both shock and an uncontainable confusion.

"Earth Venerable..."

"Did she rely on the power of that mysterious black cauldron?"

He murmured softly, sighing inwardly.

This Empress, on the surface she appeared gentle, but she hid deeply indeed.

She actually possessed such heaven-penetrating methods, allowing her to temporarily gain the power of the Earth Venerable Realm.

Immediately, Empress Xia Mingyue raised her jade hand lightly, her elegance carrying an endless aura of dominance.

The surface of the Profound Bird Cauldron bloomed with a dark light, and nine black profound bird phantoms soared out from within the cauldron.

Each bird’s eyes flickered with icy killing intent, as they charged forward with unstoppable momentum to collide with the attacks of the Ancestor Feather Emperor.

In an instant, sparks flew, and space trembled. Xia Ritian and Xia Mingyue’s attacks temporarily resisted the unstoppable onslaught of Ancestor Feather Emperor!

At this moment, the White Lotus Saint Mother, who had been lurking to the side and waiting for the right opportunity, curled her lips into a cold smile.

Her flawless white hand reached into the void as if plucking an imaginary flower.

Instantly, a moon-white jade artifact shaped like a white lotus stalk gradually took form.

This jade artifact emitted a gentle yet formidable white light, seemingly containing endless mysteries.

Since Ancestor Feather Emperor attacked Xia Mingyue and her group, it implied tacit agreement to her terms.

With this realization, the White Lotus Saint Mother certainly wouldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She planned to leverage the power of Ancestor Feather Emperor to decisively eliminate Xia Mingyue, a longstanding dire threat.

The White Lotus Saint Mother contemplated inwardly that once Xia Mingyue was eradicated, the celestial weapon would once again be ownerless.

By then, everything she had devised for thousands of years would finally come to fruition.

This obsession burned like a raging fire within the White Lotus Saint Mother’s heart through countless days and nights.

Now, with the dawn of victory close at hand, how could her heart not surge with excitement and determination?

The White Lotus Saint Mother firmly held that stalk-shaped jade artifact in her right hand, her gaze cold and resolute, as she swung forcefully at the void.

The jade artifact resonated with a moon-like cold light, trailing a galaxy-like afterimage in the wake of White Lotus Saint Mother’s swing.

"Zheng—"

A clear and melodious sound echoed across the heavens, and the artifact suddenly burst into a blinding light.

That pure white brilliance was unlike ordinary light, possessing a certain purification fierceness that illuminated everything within a hundred-zhang radius.

Those with weaker cultivation immediately felt a stabbing pain in their eyes, tears streaming uncontrollably, and even several ancestors had to shield their faces with their sleeves.

"The Saint Mother descends, Ten Thousand Lotus Realm extinguished!"

With the voice of the White Lotus Saint Mother, countless white lotus shadows began to bloom in the void one after another.

Each lotus shadow was as large as Mount Sumeru, with mountain and river patterns visibly etched on the petals, creating a sea of sand worlds in their evolution.

Soon, these white lotus shadows, carrying a force capable of annihilating heaven and earth, pressed towards Xia Mingyue.

Xia Mingyue was aware of the fierce and deadly attack and furrowed her delicate brows slightly.

Just as the white lotus shadows were about to engulf Xia Mingyue, a black-gold flame blade sliced through the sky.

The blazing black-gold flame cut through the countless white lotus shadows, dividing them.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The sound of dissolving that sets one’s teeth on edge echoed.

The fragmented white lotus shadows didn’t disperse but were swallowed by the black-gold flame sweeping across the sky, disappearing instantly into wisps of smoke.

The residual force of the black-gold flame blade did not lessen, carving a canyon a thousand zhang deep into the fiery world that enveloped heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan had made his move.

At this point, Lu Xuan had no choice but to act.

If the Great Xia royal family perished completely, he would be left alone.

Facing Ancestor Feather Emperor, the White Lotus Saint Mother, and the old entity that had always coveted him.
