295: Creation of the world!

Emperor Qin sneered, "An Ascender? Haha, you think too little of me. I am beyond Ascension, in the Heaven-Reaching Realm, and I have achieved Breakthrough to Territory Suppression, a Divine Being!"

As soon as he spoke, Heaven and Earth rumbled!

Xiao Xuanji was first shaken, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

"Heaven-Reaching Realm... Territory Suppression Divine Being?!"

He had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet he had never heard of such a Realm above Ascension!

In his understanding, Soul Transformation was the Peak, Nascent Soul was the pinnacle, and Ascension was transcendence... But the person before him actually came from a higher-level Universe!

But then he laughed up to the sky, his laughter tragic and resolute!

"Hahahaha!! I never thought, never thought... above Ascension, there would be such a vast path of cultivation!"

"What a pity—"

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Zhao Zheng, his voice like a great bell:

"So what?! No matter how heaven-reaching your existence was in your previous life, today you are merely a Golden Core Peak body, limited by this Small World!"

"And I am still a Nascent Soul True Lord!

As long as you haven't truly stepped into this world, as long as you still walk with this broken body, I have a chance to kill you!!"

He knew—

This battle would be his last battle.

This battle would also be the last battle of the Taixu Sect!

There was no retreat, no backup plan, only—to die for the Dao!

"This Old Ancestor..."

He closed his eyes, his hands slowly clasped together, and the Nascent Soul within him began to burn fiercely, golden light gushing out from his seven orifices!

"Today, I shall send you, this evil demon from another world, back to the Hell you belong in!!"

In an instant—

He no longer held back, completely burning his last Nascent Soul and Divine Soul!

That was not a simple self-detonation, but rather the condensation of his lifelong cultivation, ten thousand years of insights, and the Sect's Luck, all into one strike!

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured back frantically, the Nine Peaks' Dragon Veins wailed, and even the remaining Disciples felt their Souls tremble!

"Taixu Sky-Opening Slash—!!"

He roared, raising his hands high, drawing upon the power of Heaven and Earth!

A hundred-zhang giant sword condensed from the Void Realm, with the words "Taixu" inscribed on its body, nine Law chains wrapped around its spine, and wherever its blade pointed, space shattered and time froze!

That slash—

It was not a simple burst of spiritual power, but contained the Law of Heaven and Earth!

Before the sword even arrived, the power of Law had already caused Zhao Zheng's nine dragons imperial seal armor to emit "crackling" sounds of shattering!

"What?!"

Zhao Zheng showed a look of shock for the first time, his pupils contracting sharply!

"This... impossible! How can a Nascent Soul Realm touch Law?!"

That was a Domain that only a Soul Transformation True Lord could glimpse!

But Xiao Xuanji had done it—

Because he had been trapped in the Taixu Sect for tens of thousands of years, contemplating the operation of Heaven and Earth daily, and listening to the sound of the Great Dao nightly, he had long imprinted the Law of this world into his Divine Soul!

This slash was the ultimate sublimation of his ten thousand years of arduous cultivation!

"Very good!"

Zhao Zheng suddenly burst into laughter, his Battle Intent soaring into the sky!

"You forcing me to bring out my true weapon is enough!"

He waved his right hand, and the nine dragons imperial seal instantly shattered!

Not destroyed, but—unsealed!

Boom—!!!

Heaven and Earth exploded!

A thousand-zhang long, ink-black giant axe descended from beyond the Nine Heavens!

The words "Sky-Opening" were inscribed on the axe body, and the axe blade flowed with the light of Chaos, as if it could cleave open the Grandmist of the Universe!

That was Zhao Zheng's true trump card—the heaven opening axe! It was a supreme treasure that Zhang Qian had brought back from the Chaos Sea!

Zhao Zheng held the giant axe, standing proudly in the Void Realm, his voice like a Heavenly Dao judgment:

"I shall use the Sky-Opening Slash to send you back to the ruins!!"

He cleaved down with one axe!

The power of Chaos swept across the eight directions, and wherever the axe light passed, space collapsed, and all things returned to nothingness!

Rumble—!!!!!

Two world-shattering slashes collided with a roar!

The Taixu Sky-Opening Slash against the Sky-Opening Slash!

The power of Law against the might of Chaos!

In an instant—

Heaven and Earth shattered!

The main Peak collapsed with a roar, all nine mountain Peaks shattered, the earth cracked into ten-thousand-zhang abysses, and magma gushed out like Dragons!

One hundred thousand Disciples were sent flying by the impact, screaming as they fell into the abyss, and the mountain-protecting formation was completely annihilated!

The entire Taixu Sect was reduced to a ruined Hell!

As the smoke and dust cleared—

Zhao Zheng stood high in the sky, his robes slightly torn, blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were still as cold as iron!

Xiao Xuanji—no, it was Xiao Qingxu's body, which carried his Primordial Spirit—knelt on one knee, his Physical Body cracked, blood gushing out!

"Hmm?"

Zhao Zheng looked down at him, with a hint of surprise:

"You... actually took one of my moves?"

He slowly raised the heaven opening axe, and the power of Chaos gathered again:

"Not bad, you are worthy of another axe strike from me. The second move—can you still take it?!"

Xiao Xuanji looked up, blood at the corner of his mouth, but he smiled.

He knew he couldn't hold on any longer.

This Physical Body was about to collapse, and his Primordial Spirit would also dissipate with it.

But he could not let the Taixu Sect be completely cut off!

"Flee!!"

He suddenly roared, his Primordial Spirit rushing out of Xiao Qingxu's body, golden light flickering, extremely weak!

"Go quickly! Take the Taixu Legacy and live! Leave a glimmer of hope for my Taixu Sect!!"

Xiao Qingxu struggled to look up, his face covered in blood, but his gaze was firm:

"Old Ancestor... if the Taixu Sect is destroyed today, what use is the Legacy? I would rather die with you than live ignobly in this world!"

"Fool!!"

Xiao Xuanji was furious, his Primordial Spirit trembling:

"The Legacy is not for ignoble survival, it is for revenge! It is for rekindling the Dao fire!"

"Go—!!"

But at this moment—

Zhao Zheng sneered as he descended, the heaven opening axe held high, the power of Chaos enveloping the entire scene:

"Don't decline, none of you... will live!!"

The axe light, shone brightly again!

...On the other side, Ling Tian was covered in blood, his black robe torn, his arm charred by the Phoenix True Fire, every breath carrying a bloody smell.

He stared intently at Liu Lanyan, no longer with indifference in his eyes, but with overwhelming humiliation and rage!

"I... I, Ling Tian, was actually forced to such a state by a woman?!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging into his palms, blood dripping: "And... it's the woman I abandoned?!"

Memories, like knives, cut through his Dao Heart—

That year at the broken bridge, he stood in the wind and said, "The path of the strong does not allow for love."

Then Ling Tian turned and left, his back resolute;

But now, Liu Lanyan was suppressing him with her Phoenix True Body, forcing him to flee in disarray with the Soul of an Empress!

"Ah ah ah—!!!"

Ling Tian roared up to the sky, his voice filled with unwillingness and madness!

"I refuse to accept this!!"

"I, Ling Tian, who wants to slay Divine Beings and shatter the Heavenly Dao, how can I be defeated by a woman?!"

He suddenly closed his eyes, deep within his Sea of Consciousness—

A sealed door of memory, burst open with a roar!

That was the memory of his previous life, buried extremely deep, almost forgotten even by himself.

That was his strongest killing move, the God Slaying Sword Formation!

"Since you forced me..."

Ling Tian slowly opened his eyes, his pupils had turned pitch black, as if they had swallowed all light:

"Today, I shall let you witness—the true pinnacle of the Sword Dao!!"

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing to the sky, his voice like a Heavenly Dao decree:

"Swords, come!!"

Boom—!!!

Heaven and Earth trembled violently!

In the shattered Taixu Sect, countless broken Flying Swords, fragmented sword embryos, and even the lost swords of the Disciples, all vibrated intensely!

The sound of sword cries rose like a tide, gathering from all directions!
