532: Finale

Hao Duo roared with laughter. Having devoured the Origin of over a dozen ancient Saints in the Immortal-Demon Realm, his aura had already climbed to an inconceivable Realm.

The power of the Dark Realm's Taboo saint position and the Great saint position of the boundary sea brutally merged within him. Though not perfect, it produced a terrifying qualitative change.

The three Great Daos of Darkness, Destruction, and Devourment, like three ferocious evil Dragons, coiled around his body. The mere overflow of his aura caused the surrounding boundary sea Void Realm to constantly collapse and return to nothingness.

He gave Xiao Zhuo no chance to stabilize his Realm or condense his saint position. His figure flickered, and he had already traversed time and space. A giant palm covered in black scales, carrying an aura that annihilated all wan fa (myriad laws), slammed down on Xiao Zhuo's head!

Where the palm wind passed, stars were extinguished, and the Great Dao wailed. Its power was even stronger than a full-strength blow from the Myriad Laws Great Sage!

Xiao Zhuo's pupils contracted. Having just endured a ten-year battle with the Myriad Laws Great Sage, even though the Zizai Realm had completed its final advancement, his consumption was still enormous. At this moment, facing Hao Duo, who was at his Peak and still constantly ascending, he immediately fell into a passive state.

"Boom!"

The jade blood saber was horizontally raised, colliding violently with the black giant palm.

A piercing shattering sound rang out. It wasn't the jade blood saber breaking, but Xiao Zhuo's protective Dao Light and spatial-temporal barrier, which had condensed around him, crumbling inch by inch like fragile glass!

He was struck as if by lightning, flying backward millions of miles. His internal Qi and blood churned, and the just-stabilized Zizai Realm vibrated violently. The Zizai Realm had merged with his body, so the Zizai Realm was his body. As the boundary realm trembled, his body also trembled. Countless golden blood exploded from around him, indicating he was already injured.

"Hahahaha! An ant is an ant! Even if your boundary realm advances to a Great Thousand World, before this Venerable's Taboo Power and destruction, you are still nothing but a paper tiger!" Hao Duo, not one to let up after gaining an advantage, followed closely like a ghost. His palms danced, and terrifying Divine Ability containing the Concepts of dark sinking, destructive demise, and devouring all things, poured down like a torrential storm.

Xiao Zhuo could only rely on the Great Dao of Time and Space, shuttling between past and future in the blink of an eye, maneuvering through fragments of time and space.

But even so, Hao Duo's power was simply too strong and too fast, fast enough to cross time and space to pursue him.

The jade blood saber was wielded impenetrably, barely parrying or deflecting attacks.

However, each collision caused his immortal body to tremble violently, constantly sustaining injuries. If not for his body being tempered by the nine-revolution golden elixir, it would have already disintegrated.

The scattered power completely pulverized the space around him into Chaos. Countless nascent star embryos were extinguished before they could even ignite.

He was like a small boat in a storm, liable to be completely capsized at any moment.

While the Zizai Realm that had achieved the Great Thousand World could provide boundless power, Hao Duo's Taboo Power was too strange. It not only eroded his immortal power but also constantly polluted and disintegrated his connection with the Zizai Realm.

Those Great Daos of Darkness, Destruction, and Devourment seemed to be born for destruction and termination, having an extremely strong suppressive effect on all vitality and order.

"I can't let this continue!" Xiao Zhuo's thoughts raced. At this rate, let alone condensing a saint position, even the Zizai Realm itself was in danger of being forcibly breached and devoured by the opponent.

Just as he was once again grazed on the shoulder by a black beam of destruction, and large swathes of flesh, along with Dao Principle, were annihilated, a look of resolute determination flashed in his eyes.

It was time!

He split his mind, on one hand, desperately resisting Hao Duo's increasingly violent offensive, and on the other, communicating with that faint glimmer of light hidden deep within the Origin of the Zizai Realm — the two extremes crystal!

This origin supreme treasure, obtained from the Dark Realm and naturally capable of controlling Taboo Power, had been nurtured and refined by him. Now, it was finally going to be put to use.

"Hao Duo! Do you think devouring the Saints makes you invincible in the boundary sea?" Xiao Zhuo suddenly let out a long cry, forcefully stabilizing his figure and no longer simply dodging.

The jade blood saber in his hand erupted with unprecedented light. The power of time and space converged wildly. With one saber strike, it seemed to sever the Karma of the past and the variables of the future, temporarily forcing back Hao Duo's relentless attacks.

"Death throes!" Hao Duo sneered, about to pounce again, but then he saw that Xiao Zhuo's hand, at some unknown point, held a crystal that was neither black nor white, constantly shifting between reality and illusion, emitting strange fluctuations.

The moment that crystal appeared, Hao Duo's pupils suddenly contracted!

He felt an unprecedented tremor and... longing... from his own Taboo saint position, along with a faint trace of fear?!

"What is that thing?!" Hao Duo was filled with surprise and uncertainty. From that crystal, he felt an aura of the same Origin but at a higher level, as if it could Dominator the Taboo Power within his body!

"This item is called the two extremes crystal, and it has come specifically to bury you!" Xiao Zhuo roared, his Divine Thought instantly activating the natural control method embedded within the two extremes crystal.

"Om—!"

An invisible fluctuation, centered on the two extremes crystal, suddenly spread out.

This fluctuation had no effect on the myriad Dao of the boundary sea, but to the Taboo black Qi coiling around Hao Duo, it was like an imperial decree!

The once obedient and incredibly violent Taboo Power now seemed to have met its nemesis. It churned and seethed violently, not only no longer completely under Hao Duo's control but instead beginning to erode his Saint body and Divine Soul!

"No! Impossible! How could this be?!" Hao Duo let out a roar of shock and fury. He frantically activated his saint position, attempting to regain control of the Taboo Power, but found all his efforts to be like a clay ox entering the sea.

The fluctuations emanating from the two extremes crystal seemed to act directly on the primal core of the Taboo Power, forcibly severing its connection with Hao Duo, and even... guiding it to backfire on its Revered Master!

Just as Hao Duo was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, his figure stiffened and his power became chaotic—

"Now!"

Xiao Zhuo's eyes blazed with brilliant light. The long-awaited moment had finally arrived!

He no longer held anything back, perfectly fusing all his insights into the Great Dao of Time and Space with the fundamental Dao Principle of being transcendent and self-reliant, which came after the Zizai Realm achieved the Great Thousand World!

"Time and space as the foundation, freedom as the Concept! My Dao is the Saint Dao, my wan fa (myriad laws) are all wan fa (myriad laws)!"

"saint position—Condense!"

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire boundary sea seemed to boil at this moment!

Heaven and earth anomalies, countless times more vast and magnificent than when the Zizai Realm advanced or when the Myriad Laws Great Sage revived, erupted with a roar!

Endless rays of light and auspicious colors emerged from nothingness, transforming into substantial sweet dew that sprinkled down.

Ancient Dao sounds echoed in every inch of space, as if chanting the birth of a Saint.

Countless world phantoms rose and fell behind Xiao Zhuo, signifying the myriad worlds of the boundary sea paying homage to him!

Centered on him, time and space seemed to transform into docile flowing water. Past, present, and future intertwined into a beautiful scroll, and he stood outside the scroll, free and unfettered, transcending it.

A majestic Saint might, surpassing all wan fa (myriad laws), controlling the Reincarnation of time and space, and being uniquely self-reliant, like the first ray of light at the dawn of the Universe, suddenly illuminated this boundary sea, which had been dimmed by the great battle!

Xiao Zhuo, at this moment, officially ascended to the position of Great Saint!

And he was an unprecedented Great Saint, having fused the two supreme Great Daos of time and space and freedom, with his own Great Thousand World as the foundation!

The jade blood saber in his hand emitted an incomparably joyful hum. On the saber's body, time and space runes and freedom Dao marks perfectly merged, emitting a sharp aura that even the Origin of the boundary sea trembled before.

He looked up at Hao Duo, who had just barely suppressed the backlash of the Taboo Power in his body and whose face still held shock and disbelief. His gaze was calm, yet carried the coldness of judging all things.

"Hao Duo, now, let us fight again!"

Without any earth-shattering Move names, Xiao Zhuo simply, with a single, straightforward motion, swung his saber in Hao Duo's direction.

This saber strike transcended the Concept of speed, ignored the obstruction of space, as if the moment it was struck, it had already hit its target.

Where the saber light passed, it was not simple destruction, but the erasure of "existence" itself.

Dozens of Star Domains in all directions, regardless of stars, dust, shattered Great Dao, scattered energy... even "nothingness" itself, under this single saber strike, silently transformed into the most primitive "nothing," as if they had never existed.

Hao Duo, who had just broken free from the backlash and had not yet had time to react, bore the brunt of it.

His condensed dark barrier, destructive aura, and devouring vortex, in front of this saber light containing the Concept of the end of time and space and the annihilation of freedom, melted instantly like ice and snow under the sun.

His ferocious expression froze on his face. His imperial robe, crown, Saint body, Divine Soul... all were annihilated one by one from all timelines of the past, present, and future under this single saber strike!

"No—!!!"

A roar filled with extreme unwillingness and despair became Hao Duo's last dying sound in this world.

His figure, along with all traces of his existence, under this saber strike, turned into dust filling the sky, which was then smoothed over by the boundary sea Void Realm, leaving no trace.

However, Hao Duo was, after all, an existence that had fused the Dark Realm's Taboo saint position and the Great saint position of the boundary sea. His vitality was extremely tenacious.

A moment later, in a turbulent Void Realm far away, countless dark particles and shattered saint position runes gathered with difficulty. His figure slowly reformed again, but his aura was more than ten times weaker, and his saint position halo was dim and broken, like a candle in the wind.

"I... I refuse to accept this..." He stared intently at Xiao Zhuo, his eyes filled with venom and madness.

Xiao Zhuo's face was expressionless. He simply raised his saber again.

"If one saber can't kill you, then it will be ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand sabers! Until you are completely annihilated, body and soul destroyed, and suffer eternal damnation!"

The subsequent battle had lost all suspense.

Xiao Zhuo, having ascended to the Great saint position, underwent a world-shaking transformation in strength.

His control over time and space and freedom reached a whole new level.

Every time Hao Duo painstakingly reassembled his Saint body, he was met with Xiao Zhuo's irresistible and unavoidable destructive saber light.

The second time, his Saint body crumbled, and his Divine Soul was severely wounded.

The tenth time, cracks covered his saint position, and his Taboo Origin collapsed.

The fiftieth time, Hao Duo's roar turned into a wail, and the madness in his eyes was replaced by fear.

The hundredth time, he couldn't even condense a complete Saint body, only a remnant of his true spirit clinging to life, enveloped by Taboo Power.

The two hundredth time... the three hundredth time... When Xiao Zhuo, for an unknown number of times, swung his saber and once again annihilated Hao Duo's body, which was already as faint as a firefly, this time, the remaining Taboo Power could no longer support his reassembly.

"Crack..."

A crisp shattering sound echoed in the silent boundary sea.

Hao Duo's saint position, already riddled with cracks and dim, both the Dark Realm Taboo part and the boundary sea part, finally completely shattered at this moment, turning into countless fragments, then dissipating like sand in the wind.

His true spirit was exposed in the boundary sea, extremely weak, without even a trace of power to resist.

And just then—

Above the boundary sea Void Realm, a rainbow light, pure to the extreme and containing the will of the boundary sea, suddenly descended without warning, enveloping Hao Duo's wisp of true spirit that was about to extinguish.

"Ah—!! The will of the boundary sea...!"

Hao Duo's true spirit let out a final shriek filled with astonishment and despair.

The Dark Realm's Taboo Power and the Origin of the boundary sea were natural mortal enemies.

Previously, Hao Duo was immensely powerful and concealed his aura, and the boundary sea was preoccupied with Xiao Zhuo's advancement tribulation and the Myriad Laws Great Sage, unable to attend to him.

Now that his saint position had shattered and he was at his weakest, the will of the boundary sea, which had been biding its time, finally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, sending down a light of purification to completely eradicate this "tumor" that was eroding itself!

Under the illumination of the rainbow light, Hao Duo's true spirit, along with his last trace of existence, melted and disintegrated rapidly like ice and snow thrown into the scorching sun, transforming into the purest Origin energy and returning to the boundary sea.

The Great Annihilation Demon Venerable Hao Duo, who had ravaged the Immortal-Demon Realm, stirred up boundless catastrophes, devoured the Saints, and attempted to fuse the saint positions of the two Realms, was utterly annihilated, body and soul destroyed, and completely fallen!

Within the boundary sea, there was silence.

The Clones or projections of the various Saints who had been secretly observing the battle were all silent, gazing at the figure standing alone in the boundary sea, radiating a majestic Saint might of unique freedom, their hearts filled with shock and awe.

A Great Saint, who dominated the current era and was almost invincible, was born before their eyes, and with the force of thunder, ended an incredibly terrifying Taboo Great Saint.

Xiao Zhuo slowly sheathed his saber.

He looked towards the Immortal-Demon Realm, his vision filled with the remnants of countless stars turned to dust.

The projections of over a dozen Saints, whose figures were concealed, were completely exposed in his eyes, but he chose to ignore them.

"It's over."

He murmured softly, his figure appearing even taller and more transcendent against the backdrop of the boundary sea's auspicious glow.

He took a step and disappeared.

None of the Saints in the shadows noticed how he left.

A thousand years later.

Within a Minor Thousand boundary realm, a handsome man in a black robe walked slowly through a city. Behind him followed a scar-faced youth.

The youth's exposed skin was covered in scars.

But his eyes were full of hope.

"Revered Master! Is it really here?" The youth looked at the street leading directly to the imperial palace of this small nation and asked nervously.

The handsome man he questioned, however, pouted: "Xiaochuan, are you doubting your Revered Master?"

The youth, called Xiaochuan, paused, then sheepishly said: "Revered Master! You've taken me to roam the river of time for a thousand years, but we haven't found it yet, have we?"

No sooner had he spoken than he received a hard rap on the head.

The pain made him hug his head and squat down, feeling that this knock from his Revered Master was even more painful than a Quasi-Saint's attack.

Before he could recover, a foot clad in a black boot kicked him to his feet.

"The river of time gathers the imprints of countless beings from the boundary sea. I've spent a thousand years with you to confirm that your little girlfriend indeed reincarnated, and even ended up in a small Realm at the edge of the boundary sea like this. Besides me, where else in heaven or on earth would you find such a responsible Revered Master? How dare you doubt me! Truly an unfilial disciple!"

Xiao Zhuo looked at his good-for-nothing, lovesick disciple, feeling a surge of exasperation.

When Cao Xiaochuan lowered his head in extreme shame, intending to apologize, he then pursed his lips: "Hey! Look over there!"

Cao Xiaochuan instantly snapped to attention, his gaze following his Revered Master's direction.

He saw an imperial carriage, pulled by four Qilin mythical beasts, approaching from the imperial city.

On the carriage, with the curtains half-drawn, a beautiful face that had appeared countless times in his dreams came into view.

Cao Xiaochuan's eyes reddened involuntarily, and a tear silently fell... What he didn't notice was that his Revered Master's figure quietly faded and disappeared.

At some unknown point, before a colossal celestial body, overflowing with endless radiance, a slender figure abruptly appeared.

"This is the Eternal Divine Realm? The end of the boundary sea, the land of becoming a god?" Xiao Zhuo looked at the incomparably magnificent boundary realm before him, filled with emotion. "It looks bigger than ten Immortal-Demon Realms, and there are countless powerful auras inside. No, I still need to add points first! The battles with Wan Fa and Hao Duo destroyed too many Star Domains, and the Myriad Worlds panel has already upgraded to 10.0. Becoming a god directly isn't too much, is it?"

The next moment, the entire boundary sea trembled. From within that colossal boundary realm, waves of incredibly sacred auras began to emanate outwards.

Just outside this Divine Realm, a terrifying pressure, enough to shake the entire boundary sea, swept across heaven and earth.

The End of the Book!
