You're the one blocking my path to Heaven!

An old figure appeared, dressed in a water-gold robe. Just by standing there, he seemed to be the center of heaven and earth, with all Daos submitting to him.

Seize One looked at this person, his eyes filled with wariness, Battle Intent, and excitement.

He knew he was no match for this person.

He wanted to try.

"I didn't expect that the Heaven-Seizing Divine Demon of the past could actually produce such a Heaven-Defying descendant. Truly, the affairs of the world are ever-changing."

This person was naturally the God-Demon of the Shui family, the Water Halberd Demon.

Seize One felt as if he were being seen right through.

"Pah, you shameless old geezer. Looking at me like that, are you interested in me? Let me tell you, it's impossible between us; our species are different."

"Besides, I have no interest in an old geezer like you."

Water Halberd Demon did not get angry: "What a sharp-tongued member of the Zerg race. Why hasn't your Queen Mother come out? After that battle back then, I thought she was dead. I didn't expect her to still be alive. Truly interesting. Could it be that this Heavenly Court of yours was created by her?"

Seize One's eyes darted around.

Seeing this, Water Halberd Demon's mind stirred.

That fellow has become even more terrifying; the Zerg he produced is actually this formidable.

Unlike the previous era, where they only had combat and devouring in their eyes.

Furthermore, this Seize One was blessed with two dao rhymes.

The Dao of Strength and the Dao of Devouring.

Truly terrifying.

If he were allowed to continue growing, he might become another Heaven-Seizing Divine Demon in the future.

Moreover, this little thing also had the blessing of the Dao of Luck.

His gaze seemed capable of piercing through the galaxy.

He looked toward the Heavenly Court.

Roar!

The Heavenly Court's Golden Dragon of Destiny roared forth.

And a part of its body had already begun to transform into purple-gold.

Waves of emotion rose in Water Halberd Demon's heart.

Not bad.

He wanted this thing.

It could help him delay the passing of his lifespan.

The Heavenly Court must be destroyed.

He withdrew his gaze.

He looked at Seize One.

He pointed a finger.

Horror filled Seize One's eyes.

His entire body's power was actually imprisoned.

"A mere Hundred Ancient Emperor is not worthy of my attention. If your Zerg Queen Mother were here, I might still be wary."

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.

Ripples appeared in the Void Realm.

Like ripples spreading out.

The Restriction bound to Seize One's body disintegrated layer by layer.

Water Halberd Demon did not strike again, calmly watching the Void Realm.

A woman with a waterfall of golden hair appeared, her figure enchanting.

She stood beside Seize One.

Seize One took a step back.

"Greetings, Queen Mother."

Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm nodded.

She looked at Water Halberd Demon.

"You old geezer, you haven't died yet?"

Water Halberd Demon looked at Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm: "What great perseverance, to actually dare to cultivate anew. It seems the events in southern Xinjiang were indeed your doing."

Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm looked at Water Halberd Demon: "You old geezer, your lifespan began to fade long ago. I don't know what method you used to survive all these years, but how much power can you actually use?"

"Those Dao wounds are not something that the power of medicine can heal."

Hearing Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm expose his condition, he did not refute it.

They were both from the same era back then.

This was something everyone knew.

Back then, he also knew about the battle between the Heaven-Seizing Divine Demon and the Wuzu Divine Demon.

Where his body died and his Dao vanished.

He just hadn't expected to see the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm clan here.

"You should know the gap between a Thousand Ages Emperor and an Eternal Emperor. Even if you cultivate anew, you are no match for me. If you were to step into the Eternal Emperor Realm, I would turn and leave immediately, handing over Shui Prefecture with both hands. Unfortunately, you are not."

Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm shook her head: "Old Thing, I know what you're planning."

"Over the years, how many Celestial Dynasties have been established? Your Clones entered the world to instigate conflicts, using them to obtain the power of Luck to extend your lifespan."

Water Halberd Demon did not speak.

This was the truth.

They were the abandoned ones.

So what if he was an Eternal Emperor?

Restricted by the rules of heaven and earth, unable to transcend.

After all these years, he would still slowly die.

All these years, he indeed used his Clones to exploit the conflicts of various Celestial Dynasties or Imperial Dynasties.

Watching the clouds change to obtain Luck and increase his lifespan.

Coupled with the raging Dao wounds.

They were constantly eroding the vitality within his body.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been hiding inside the Divine Source all this time.

Only by hiding like this could he avoid being targeted by the rules of heaven and earth.

Having achieved a Breakthrough to the Eternal Emperor Realm, they had already seen through certain things.

For example, the Heaven and Earth Great Calamity.

When the Great Calamity descends, no matter how powerful they are as Eternal Emperors, they will still fall.

Back in the God-Demon Era.

Everyone thought they were invincible, immortal, and indestructible.

And the result?

So many Gods and Demons were buried in that battle.

That they could survive.

Was still due to being careful enough.

"You've had your opportunities; I actually envy you a bit. But you are ultimately no match for me. I'll be taking the power of Luck from the Heavenly Court."

As long as he took that Heavenly Court, he would refine that Golden Dragon.

As for it transforming into a Purple-Gold Divine Dragon, he couldn't afford to wait.

The Heavenly Court has already come into its own.

Any delay might lead to complications.

"Leave. I'll grant you a way out. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing consideration for our past relationship."

Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm laughed upon hearing this.

"You are truly pathetic. This Heavenly Court isn't mine; it belongs to my master."

At the mention of the word 'master'.

Water Halberd Demon was also stunned.

Who was the Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm?

A being from the God-Demon Era.

She was so strong back then, and yet she actually has a master now.

And she is currently at the Thousand Ages Emperor Realm.

Just what level of powerhouse is he?

"Respectfully welcoming my master's arrival."

At that moment, Heaven-Seizing Gu Worm bowed toward the Void Realm.

The Void Realm did not show any fluctuations.

Chu Xinghe had already appeared on the battlefield.

Opposite him, Water Halberd Demon's eyes were filled with horror.

Clearly, this person was right in front of him, yet he couldn't be detected or divined.

What kind of monster is this?

It was as if this person had never existed at all.

"You... who exactly are you?"

The two Hundred Ancient Emperors behind Shui Qing, hearing the wariness in the Old Ancestor's voice, also had horror in their eyes.

Just what kind of person could make the Old Ancestor afraid?

No wonder even the Heaven-Seizing Divine Demon submitted to this person.

Chu Xinghe looked at Water Halberd Demon.

In an instant.

Water Halberd Demon felt as if he were facing a formidable foe.

He had the feeling of being seen right through.

How could such a powerhouse exist in this world?

"Are you the one blocking the progress of my Heavenly Court?"

Chu Xinghe looked at Water Halberd Demon.

Water Halberd Demon fell silent.

He couldn't see through Chu Xinghe.

People who can't be seen through are the most terrifying.

It is the unknown that causes fear.

If the previous Chu Xinghe had seen someone from the God-Demon Era, he would have turned and run.

But now it was different.

Since successfully creating his cultivation method, he hadn't tested it yet.

To follow is to go with the Dao.

To defy is to trigger the Heavenly Dao Tribulation.

He could also rely on the Dao Tribulations to enhance his strength.

In this world, tribulations are everywhere.

They can be divided into Great Calamities and minor tribulations.

A minor tribulation can be as small as a person's death.

A Great Calamity can be as large as the destruction of heaven and earth or the restart of an era.

All of them could be utilized by Chu Xinghe.

Water Halberd Demon looked at Chu Xinghe.

In the end, he was still afraid.

"My Shui family will back down."

The corners of Chu Xinghe's mouth curled up.

"No, no, no. You must die. Only with the death of a Shui family God-Demon can the foundation of my Heavenly Court be established. The Shui family must be destroyed."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking.

A strange power erupted.

At this moment.

Water Halberd Demon's eyes suddenly widened.

The Dao wounds within his body actually became active.
