At the same moment, Xian Lao and Ming Lao, who were guarding outside the Wasteland Ancestor, also grew fearful. The fallen Immortal Emperor did not re-condense before the Origin Monument, marking an unprecedented and monumental shift.
No one knew what had happened. Had the master infiltrated the Origin Tower, causing changes in the energy rules? If so, they would lose a significant advantage!
"The Dragon race is the head of all races!"
A dragon's roar echoed as Ancestor Dragon attacked. A massive dragon claw snaked towards the space where Bai Qi and the others stood, its immense shadow obscuring the sky and earth. The very fabric of space buckled under its might, shattering.
"Bang!"
With a deafening sound, a beam of sword light shattered the colossal dragon claw. Han Xin stepped forward, his sword light flashing, forcing Ancestor Dragon to retreat step by step. A sweep of his blade grazed its neck, leaving a gaping wound along its dragon body. No blood flowed, but countless dragon scales were ripped away by the sword's radiance.
"Roar!"
Ancestor Dragon roared in fury. Its inherent noble bloodline compelled it to plunge a claw deep into its own flesh, pulling out a dragon whip thousands of feet long. Crafted from dragon sinews, it was perfectly suited to its dragon path.
Boom!
The dragon whip cracked through the air, its impact causing space to vibrate and fracture. Countless whip shadows lashed out at Han Xin. Han Xin moved as if traversing through clouds and mist, his sword-wielding arm making seemingly casual swings. Each movement shattered the dense whip shadows a hundred feet away, rendering them utterly incapable of harming him.
"Kill!"
At this moment, at the pinnacle of the firmament, a black-robed man surged forth. His figure flickered, and behind him materialized an infinite galaxy, within which a colossal Kun Peng phantom swam.
"Swish!"
The instant the Kun Peng Prime Emperor made his move, Ran Min, standing beside Bai Qi, exploded forward. A spear light directly forced the Kun Peng Prime Emperor's true form out. The spear light grazed its dark surface, leaving behind sparks like a thousand stars, as if striking hard iron, etching a mark on its form.
Boom!
The Kun Peng Prime Emperor transformed into human form, striking at Ran Min with a palm. With a rumbling sound, it seemed as effortless as raising a hand, yet it unleashed billions of palm strikes.
Boom!
A dull thunderous roar caused the colossal Kun Peng phantom to tremble. Ran Min, wielding his double-edged spear, smashed through the Kun Peng Prime Emperor's palm with a thunderous impact. Energy dissipated in torrents, yet the Kun Peng Prime Emperor continued to strike downwards, furiously assaulting the insignificant human before him.
"You, dare to obliterate me?"
Ran Min roared, his eyes blazing with boundless killing intent. Within his pupils, a world manifested: a realm of blood seas and corpse mountains, where a majestic figure stood. He held a double-edged spear, seemingly descended from the deepest abyss. He raised his head and roared, "This battle, I shall utterly crush the Ancient Star Road!"
Boom!
The clashing of their battle cries erupted. In that instant, an immeasurable torrent of energy surged downwards, as if a vast ocean, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, had appeared above the Ancient Star Road, pouring down upon this place with relentless force.
"Come down!"
At this moment, Li Jing emerged, gripping his trident. He gazed towards the pinnacle of the firmament, at the several titans who had remained silent until now.
"The Human race dares to challenge us!" Fuso Ancestor Emperor spoke.
"Come down and fight!" Li Jing's expression was calm, his trident radiating unparalleled killing intent. Qilin divine fire danced upon its edge.
"Kill!"
Fuso Ancestor Emperor spoke. As his words fell, his entire being erupted with terrifying flames and radiance. The flames carried the essence of the Golden Crow race. In that instant, Fuso Ancestor Emperor raised a grand seal, moving across heaven and earth. With every three steps, a spatial dimension was sealed, encompassing himself and Li Jing.
"Since you court death, then let us fight!" Fuso Ancestor Emperor declared.
"Fight!"
Li Jing roared, his entire body erupting with Qilin divine light. He swung his trident directly, imbued with the roars of Qilin, swirling divine fire, and the clamor of slaughter. It struck directly towards Fuso Ancestor Emperor's head. With a thunderous boom, the phantom behind Fuso Ancestor Emperor wavered, and boundless flames surged tens of thousands of feet high.
"Your killing intent is formidable!"
Fuso Ancestor Emperor scrutinized the human, Li Jing, before him. A change came over his eyes. In that instant, a seal, appearing like a complete grand array, pressed down upon Li Jing. Boundless flames, from all directions, enveloped Li Jing. As the seal descended, the immeasurable array pulsed with light. Fuso Ancestor Emperor's eyes narrowed, shooting out two streams of bloody light, as if attacking along the Great Dao.
Boom!
In that instant, Li Jing raised his trident, its tip pointing upwards. With a thunderous crash, a colossal Qilin phantom materialized. It opened its mouth and let out a roar, swallowing all the fiery radiance.
The trident swept out, causing the entire descending grand array and seal to tremble. Each impact sent tremors through the seal, cracking it. Amidst the deafening, booming slaughter, the descending seal shattered. Fuso Ancestor Emperor's figure jolted, and the hand that held the seal split open.
"Who will step forward to fight!"
At this time, only Yue Fei, holding an iron spear, remained beside Bai Qi. He stepped forward, scanning the three figures at the pinnacle of the firmament: Immortal Ancestor Emperor, Star Ancestor Emperor, and Dome Ancestor Emperor!
"Human race! Do you know the vastness of creation!" Dome Ancestor Emperor spoke, looking down upon the almost invisible, minuscule figure. Though he possessed sentience, it was ultimately not the sentience of old. If it were, he might have cursed loudly.
"Enough of your nonsense!"
Clang!
Yue Fei shook his treasured weapon.
"Then let us fight!"
Dome Ancestor Emperor spoke. As he opened his mouth, it was as if the boundless universe was speaking, the exhale carrying the vastness of millions of miles of mountains and rivers within his chest.
"Kill!"
The two let out deep roars. Dome Ancestor Emperor extended a hand, pointing towards the void, and an entire firmament directly descended, carrying immeasurable power and imperial might. As it fell, it became infused with Dao patterns, the great forces shifting, its momentum reaching the abyss.
"A petty trick!" Yue Fei roared to the sky, his iron spear whistling out like a dragon, like thunder. With a tremendous impact, it pierced through that firmament, obliterating all the explosive spatial fragments. With a single blow, that firmament vanished without a trace.
"Hmm?"
Dome Ancestor Emperor's expression turned solemn. He had underestimated the human before him. He waved his hands and stepped forward, pushing the boundless universe with one hand, and holding the great momentum of the firmament with the other, as if embodying the Great Dao and merging with the cosmos of the Ancient Star Road. The entire firmament moved with him, capable of suppressing all directions!
Boom!
With a colossal crash, the entire Ancient Star Road shook. The boundless firmament cracked into pieces, scattering in all directions!
