Chapter 432 Unification of the Universe, Domination of the Defying Path

Nightmare stood atop the ruins of the Heavenly Emperor Hall, holding that warm and slightly cool "Hongmeng Universe Ruling Token."

The moment the token entered his hand, the Law pathways of the entire Hongmeng Universe unfolded clearly in his Divine Sense like an invisible giant web. He could feel the energy flow of the High Domain, Middle Domain, Low Domain... every region of the Universe, and even vaguely sense those ancient auras dormant in various places.

"So this is... the feeling of control."

He whispered to himself, the Demonic Flame in his eyes burning calmly.

In the next second, he raised his hand and held the token above his head.

"Buzz—!!"

The token erupted with an unprecedented brilliant light, and an invisible ripple centered on him swept across the entire Hongmeng Universe in an instant!

"The Heavenly Emperor of the Divine Court is dead."

Nightmare's voice, using the power of the token, turned into the voice of the Heavenly Dao, echoing in every corner of the Hongmeng Universe and clearly reaching the ears of every Cultivator:

"The Hongmeng Divine Court is destroyed today."

His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable majesty.

"The Nidao Alliance shall govern the Grandmist from this day forward."

"Those who follow me shall share in the Universe's resources and receive the protection of Reverse Path."

"Those who oppose me—"

He paused, his voice suddenly turning cold, his killing intent condensing as if it were physical:

"Shall be executed, no matter how far away they are!"

"Remaining forces of the Divine Court are limited to three days to cripple their own cultivation and surrender at the Dao Reversal Branch Offices in each domain."

"Those who do not surrender by the deadline—"

"Shall have their clans exterminated!"

As his voice fell, the Universe fell into a deathly silence.

---

High Domain, Ancestral Land of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Inside the clan's main hall, all the high-level members' expressions changed in unison.

"The Heavenly Emperor... is dead?!"

"That voice... it's that Lord of Dao Reversal who slew the Heavenly Emperor!"

"Clan Chief, we..."

The white-haired Clan Chief was silent for three breaths before suddenly standing up: "Order the entire clan to seal the mountain immediately and prepare generous gifts... no, I will personally go to the ruins of the Divine Court to submit to the Lord of Dao Reversal!"

Middle Domain, Profound Thunder Sword Sect.

The Sect Master looked at the horizon and smiled bitterly: "The ten-thousand-year Divine Court, overturned in a single day... the sky over this Grandmist is about to change."

"Sect Master, should we..."

"Surrender." The Sect Master interrupted his subordinate's words decisively, "Immediately take inventory of the treasury, take half of the Sect's resources, and follow me to pay homage."

Low Domain, countless small forces were in a state of panic.

Some were ecstatic—the Divine Court had oppressed them for a long time, and now it had finally fallen!

Some were worried—this newly arrived Nidao Alliance was a master even more ruthless than the Divine Court!

But regardless of their thoughts, ninety-nine percent of the forces had already made their choice the moment the voice fell.

Submission.

Only a very few die-hard loyalist forces of the Divine Court were still putting up a desperate resistance.

---

Nightmare withdrew the token and looked toward the distant horizon.

"They're here."

Just as his voice fell, the horizon suddenly tore open!

Two figures radiating the terrifying aura of the Late Stage Supreme, leading over a hundred Hongmeng Celestial Venerable Realm Cultivators, stepped out from the Void Realm rift!

Of the two leaders, one wore dark black battle armor with a sinister expression; the other wore a white robe with the air of a transcendent immortal, but his eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

They were precisely the reinforcement troops sent from the Ancient Ancestral Land of the Divine Court!

"The Heavenly Emperor... is truly dead." The man in the dark black battle armor looked at the ruins below, his face grim.

"The token is in that kid's hands." The white-robed Cultivator's gaze locked onto the ruling token in Nightmare's hand, "Seize it back, and the Ancestral Land can still re-establish the Divine Court!"

The two looked at each other and, without hesitation, attacked simultaneously!

"Kill!"

Over a hundred Celestial Venerables formed a formation, while the two turned into two streaks of light, one black and one white, charging straight at Nightmare!

Nightmare looked at the two charging toward him, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

He raised the token in his hand.

"Hongmeng Universe, heed my command."

"Buzz—!!"

The Universe Origin of the entire world began to boil and converge! Countless visible pale golden Law threads emerged from the Void Realm and surged into Nightmare's body!

His aura instantly skyrocketed!

"What?!" The man in the dark black battle armor stopped in horror, "He can actually mobilize the Universe Origin?! Isn't that supposed to take at least a hundred years of refining the token before..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Nightmare moved.

He didn't even use the Dao Reversal Demonic Star Flame, but simply threw a punch.

As the punch went out, the Universe Origin surged with it! A pale golden fist seal broke through the air, and everywhere it passed, space solidified and time slowed!

"Block it together!" the white-robed Cultivator roared, and both of them fully activated their defensive Supreme treasures!

"Boom—!!!"

The fist seal struck the defensive light screen; the screen only lasted for a single breath before it shattered with a bang! The two were hit as if by a heavy blow, coughing up blood as they were sent flying!

"Impossible... he just got the token, how can he use it so skillfully?!" The man in the dark black battle armor was full of horror.

Nightmare's figure had already reached the two of them.

"Because, this Universe Origin..."

He reached out both hands, grabbing their necks:

"Was originally of the same source as Reverse Path."

"Crack!"

The sound of neck bones snapping rang out simultaneously.

The divine light in their eyes quickly dimmed, and even in death, they didn't understand—why would the Universe Origin be close to a "heresy" like Reverse Path?

Nightmare let go, and the two corpses fell.

He turned his head and looked at the over a hundred Celestial Venerable Cultivators who were already scared witless.

"Leave none alive."

Three hundred Reverse Path elites pounced like wolves and tigers.

The slaughter began.

---

Half a day later.

The Ancient Ancestral Land of the Divine Court, the last fortress hidden in a Secret Realm at the edge of the Hongmeng Universe, was breached by the Reverse Dao Allied Forces.

All legacies, resources, and ancient texts within the Ancestral Land were completely plundered.

The last shred of the Divine Court's Foundation was completely severed.

---

Seven days later.

Atop the ruins of the former Divine Court headquarters, a more towering and pitch-black palace complex rose from the ground.

The palace was cast entirely from "Dao Reversal Profound Iron," its surface covered in Dao Reversal Runes, radiating a terrifying aura that suppressed the heavens.

Above the palace gate hung a massive plaque:

Dao Reversal Heavenly Palace.

Nightmare sat on the imperial throne in the main hall of the Heavenly Palace, below him were all the core members of the Nidao Alliance, as well as representatives from the various forces of the Hongmeng Universe that had submitted.

"From this day forward, the Nidao Alliance shall govern the Grandmist, establishing Nine Halls and Thirty-Six Departments to guard each domain."

His voice was calm, yet no one dared to look him in the eye.

"Those who follow Reverse Path shall prosper, those who oppose Reverse Path shall perish."

"This is the iron Law."

The representatives of the various forces knelt and bowed in unison:

"We respectfully obey the Heavenly Lord's command!"

The sound shook the Heavenly Palace.

Nightmare nodded slightly, but his gaze pierced through the roof of the hall, looking toward the depths of the endless Void Realm.

After completely refining the Hongmeng Universe Ruling Token, he vaguely sensed—

Beyond the Hongmeng Universe, there were even more vast and ancient Universe domains.

The nearest one radiated a heart-palpitating aura of Chaos.

"Chaos Domain..."

He whispered to himself, the Demonic Flame dancing in his eyes; it was the excitement of discovering a new hunting ground.

The unification of the Hongmeng Universe was not the end.

It was the starting point.

---

Dominator of Reverse Path, reigning over the Grandmist.

And his gaze has already turned toward the more distant Chaos.
