519: Hao Duo escapes

However, the strength Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo displayed at this moment far exceeded his expectations!

Especially Xiao Zhuo, who was much stronger than when he fought him before!

"Form the array! Star Dou Great Array!" Haotian Emperor Monarch was a true schemer after all, making a decision instantly and roaring sharply.

He and the other six Emperor Monarchs—Yin Lin had already fallen, so it was now Zi Dian, Qing Mu, Chi Yan, Bai Jin, Emperor, and Xuan Yin—immediately took their positions, drawing upon the power of the surrounding stars!

Brilliant starlight descended from the Void Realm, condensing into a starry array diagram covering tens of thousands of miles. Countless phantom stars floated and operated within it, exuding terrifying power capable of suppressing the universe!

This was one of the Heavenly Court's great arrays, jointly set up by the seven Emperor Monarchs, possessing infinite power!

"Suppress!"

Haotian Emperor Monarch presided over the array eye. The haotian bell resounded through all the heavens, and the Star Dou Great Array transformed into a swirling galaxy, carrying an immense momentum capable of crushing all things, simultaneously enveloping Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo in the center of the battlefield, as well as the exposed Nirvana Realm Origin!

He wanted to settle the universe in one fell swoop!

However, facing this astonishing great array, which also surpassed the power level of a Quasi-Saint, Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo, who were in fierce combat, reacted simultaneously!

"Scram!"

"Annoying!"

The two seemed to have reached an unspoken understanding. Xiao Zhuo pointed a finger, and Time and Space solidified, wan fa (myriad laws) returning to the ruins!

Hao Duo unleashed a punch, dark energy devouring the sky, demons consuming the star-filled universe!

A finger beam that blended Time and Space freezing with Spirit Group decomposition, and a fist print containing the end of the ruins and the Origin demonic power, strangely intertwined and fused in mid-air, transforming into a gray, chaotic light stream that seemed capable of reopening heaven and earth and re-establishing Reincarnation, surging upwards!

Hiss—!

The vast galaxy formed by the Star Dou Great Array was cut in half by this chaotic light stream, like a hot knife through butter!

"No!!!"

"How is this possible!"

The sneers on the faces of the six Emperor Monarchs instantly turned into extreme fear. Their proud Emperor Monarch Immortal Bodies and protective Immortal Treasures shattered one after another like paper before this chaotic light stream, and even their Divine Soul Dao Fruits were completely annihilated!

Haotian Emperor Monarch, relying on the haotian bell and the creation divine sword for protection, barely blocked the fatal blow. But the haotian bell gained new cracks, the creation divine sword wailed and dimmed, and his own Immortal Body repeatedly shattered three times before he could barely reassemble it. His aura was extremely weak, and his eyes were filled only with boundless horror and despair!

He dared not stay any longer, burning his Immortal Origin, transforming into an almost imperceptible streak of light, tearing through the Void Realm, and fleeing for his life!

The combined attack of Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo was truly terrifying!

After forcing back the powerful enemy, the brief understanding between the two instantly vanished, and the battle reignited, even more fiercely!

"Rebellious Disciple! Witness Revered Master's true trump card! Myriad Demons Returning to Ancestry, Returning to Ruins Sacred Seal!" Hao Duo roared. He actually began to burn the Origin of that sacred status light orb. Behind him, a clearer, more ancient demonic shadow appeared. That demonic shadow raised its hand, and a dark Sacred Seal, seemingly capable of burying all the heavens and myriad realms, slowly condensed in its palm!

This attack had truly touched the threshold of the Saint Realm!

Xiao Zhuo's gaze was extremely solemn, yet it also shone with excitement.

He completely retracted the Zizai Realm phantom into his body, all the power around him intensely condensed. Spirit Script, immortal root, Great Dao of Time and Space, Zizai Realm Origin... everything was fusing!

"Freedom is mine, wan fa (myriad laws) become empty! Zizai Tribulation Light—!"

He embraced with both hands, and a light that could not be described by color was born in his palm. That light seemed to contain beginning and end, holding creation and destruction, the ultimate power that transcended all rules and restraints!

The dark Sacred Seal and the Zizai Tribulation Light finally collided.

The Nirvana Realm lost all color and sound.

There was only light, and the ultimate clash of darkness.

Who knows how long passed, perhaps an instant, perhaps an eternity.

The light dissipated.

The exposed Nirvana Realm Origin dimmed considerably, slowly sinking into the bottomless abyss.

Xiao Zhuo's figure re-condensed, his face pale, his aura fluctuating, a faint golden streak of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Far in front of him, in a Void Realm almost reduced to Chaos, Hao Duo's figure reappeared, but he was even more battered.

His transformation into a demon god had long been undone, his body was broken, that green sacred status light orb was covered in cracks, almost completely Shattered Realm (Cultivation Class), and his aura was extremely weak.

He stared intently at Xiao Zhuo, his eyes filled with anger, unwillingness, and a hint of indescribable complexity.

"Good... what a Zizai Tribulation Light... Xiao Zhuo, Revered Master... remembers!"

Before his words finished, a black hole suddenly appeared, swallowing him whole, and then instantly vanished.

Xiao Zhuo frowned, and the power of Time and Space sealed off, but he felt that the black hole was quite peculiar. It was not the Dao of Space, but rather the Dao of Devouring, and in the blink of an eye, it had already disappeared from this billions of miles of space.

Xiao Zhuo did not pursue further. He stood in place, slowly calming the surging power within his body.

Looking in the direction where Hao Duo disappeared, a cold light flickered in his eyes.

"Revered Master! I hope you won't appear before me again, otherwise... next time you definitely won't escape!"

He then turned his gaze to the Nirvana Realm Origin slowly sinking into the abyss, took a step, and descended upon it.

At the same time, his body trembled, and the Zizai Realm projection suddenly unfolded, directly encompassing the Nirvana Realm Origin.

And this was not all.

As the Nirvana Realm Origin was directly enveloped by the Zizai Realm.

The Zizai Realm projection began to materialize from its illusory state, even incorporating everything around it.

"This person is..."

A Golden-Winged Quasi-Saint, who had not yet left in the distance, looked at all this with eyes full of horror.

"Refining heaven and earth! He wants to incorporate the entire Nirvana Realm into his world! A madman... truly a madman!!" Another Quasi-Saint who witnessed this scene exclaimed.

Before his words finished, his entire person had already disappeared, having directly fled.

The battle between Xiao Zhuo and Hao Duo just now, in a single strike, resulted in the demise of the six Emperor Monarchs of the Heavenly Court and Haotian's severe injury and escape, already terrifying all the Quasi-Saints secretly observing.

Now seeing Xiao Zhuo actually wanting to annex the entire Nirvana Realm, made them even more panicked.

The Nirvana Realm had Restrictions set by Saints, strengthening its boundary realm walls. If not for the time being up, no one would be able to leave.

This meant that all of them were now lambs to the slaughter.

As Xiao Zhuo continuously refined the Nirvana Realm, eventually, all of them would be enveloped by the Zizai Realm.

Even in the outside world, they couldn't contend with Xiao Zhuo. If they were brought into this terrifying world that could devour the Nirvana Realm, then these powerful figures who carved out their own territories in the Immortal-Demon Realm would be no different from lambs.

However, Xiao Zhuo completely disregarded what these Quasi-Saints thought. After incorporating the Nirvana Realm Origin, this Nirvana Realm, if not devoured by him, would soon collapse.

In order to bring all the creatures of the Nirvana Realm into the Zizai Realm, he deliberately did not block the communication between the Nirvana Realm Origin and the world, to prevent the Nirvana Realm from collapsing too quickly.

Currently, the Origin accumulated in his Zizai Realm was already powerful enough, but how could it compare to a Great Thousand Realm Domain like the Nirvana Realm, which had existed for millions of years.

As long as he swallowed the Nirvana Realm, the immense Luck and vast number of creatures within it would push the Zizai Realm to a terrifying Peak.

Moreover, with the strengthened boundary realm walls by the Primordial Great Saint, the descent and acquisition of the will of the boundary sea would also be delayed.

This would buy time for the Zizai Realm to advance.

However, once the tribulation of advancement was triggered, it would likely be far more significant than the commotion in the Blood Demon Realm.
