Chapter 1 Everything Annihilated

At the original location of the Guardian Pavilion, all matter had been annihilated. The enormous Guardian Pavilion, along with its billions of cave heavens and time-spaces, had collapsed and dissipated into the chaotic void.

Energy waves continued to surge outwards, spreading across dozens of territories, annihilating everything in their path.

A deathly silence reigned, with only a single figure standing at the center. His Daoist robe was tattered, and his body bore numerous wounds.

"Worthy of being an ultimate supreme," Jiang Xuan sighed. Even suppressed by the Chaos Origin Will, his strength surpassed that of a supreme. A full-force strike was difficult for even Jiang Xuan to withstand unscathed.

Of course, the injuries were light, devoid of the power of the Dao, making recovery easy.

This time, he had directly experienced the strength of this ultimate Emperor Lord, and the other party had certainly sensed his presence as well.

"It seems the war will be brought forward."

Jiang Xuan felt neither sorrow nor joy; this was something he had anticipated. In fact, the Sith Clan had spies planted within the Chaos Universe, and few beings other than Supremes could distinguish them.

News of him had slowly spread throughout the Chaos Universe, and it was only a matter of time before the Sith Clan learned of it.

Although he was exposed now, it wasn't entirely without benefit. At least, the current situation was something the Sith Clan hadn't expected. In the eyes of Yiyer of the Sith Clan, this certainly wasn't the right time to launch a war.

Perhaps the Sith Clan wasn't fully prepared yet.

"Proceed according to the original plan," Jiang Xuan thought to himself. At the same time, a figure emerged from his body, identical to Jiang Xuan, but clad in golden armor, its aura slightly weaker than Jiang Xuan's true form.

After entering the Emperor Lord realm, one could refine a Dharma body. Jiang Xuan could have done so long ago, but to comprehend and cultivate the World of the Heart, he had been refining it within the World of the Heart, then projecting it into reality.

Jiang Xuan was well aware of the potential of the World of the Heart, a Great Dao with potential no less than that of the Ultimate Path. If he could reach the level of reflecting all worlds, his strength would reach an immeasurable state.

Of course, his World of the Heart was currently only at the ordinary supreme level, capable of evolving and reflecting treasures below the supreme level.

As for Dharma bodies, they were made from various Chaos Universe treasures, but the true value of a Dharma body lay not in the materials, but in the "Dao" of the true body. The stronger the Dao a Dharma body carried, the stronger the Dharma body.

Just like supreme Dharma bodies and Overlord Dharma bodies, even if refined with the same methods and materials, one carried the supreme Dao, while the other only carried the Dao of the Overlord level. The former completely crushed the latter.

As for Jiang Xuan, he was only at the Eternal level. He could also reflect cosmic treasures of this level through the World of the Heart. This time, he was merely attempting to directly refine and reflect a Dharma body with the World of the Heart.

"Greetings, true body." The golden-armored Jiang Xuan and the true body smiled at each other. With the same memories and thoughts, it was as if they were talking to themselves.

"It should have eighty percent of my strength."

Jiang Xuan sensed the Dharma body's memories. He had become an Eternal Emperor Lord through the Dao of Time and Space, without relying on external objects. The Dharma body carried the true body's Dao, so it could naturally display the corresponding strength.

Moreover, he was already a supreme-level combatant, even an ultimate Emperor Lord of multiple Daos, inherently stronger than ordinary supremes. Eighty percent of his strength was undoubtedly supreme-level combat power.

"It begins."

The true body of Jiang Xuan said. The Dharma body understood and stepped out, disappearing beyond endless time and space.

Meanwhile, the true body of Jiang Xuan continued to explore the Sith Clan's territory as if nothing had happened.

"Sith Clan aura?"

A few days later, Jiang Xuan's mind stirred. Within the range of his mental scan, he detected faint fluctuations in the endless darkness, fluctuations that were rejected by the Chaos Universe.

"Are they here?"

Jiang Xuan guessed in his heart, then left without hesitation, following the fluctuations.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

After only a few short-distance space traversals, he saw a massive warship advancing in the distance.

"Buzz…"

The warship's control over the surrounding time and space immediately detected Jiang Xuan, who had traversed through space. In their detection, Jiang Xuan's entire body radiated vast power, shining brightly, impossible to look at directly.

"A cultivator supreme?!"

The Sith Clan within the warship felt despair. Such power was something ordinary beings could not possess. Like ants looking up at the sun, they could only feel their own infinite insignificance.

Inside the warship, they couldn't sense the exact situation, but among the beings the warship could detect, even a Venerable Lord couldn't compare to the being outside.

So there was only one possibility: a cultivator supreme, or a terrifying being with supreme-level combat power!

"Why?! Why?!"

"Isn't it a Source Walker? How could it be a cultivator supreme?!"

"Great Yiyer, why did you send us to die?"

"Escape! Scatter and escape! Save whoever can be saved!"

No Sith Clan member believed they could resist a supreme. They had been deceived. They thought it was just a Source Walker, but who would have thought it was a supreme from the cultivator civilization?

Unfortunately, there wasn't even a Venerable Lord on this warship, so they couldn't stop Jiang Xuan's advance. He easily entered the warship and saw the Sith Clan powerhouses who were about to flee.

"Not good, the cultivator supreme is inside!"

"That's not a supreme… it's an ultimate Emperor Lord!"

"We're finished!"

Some of the Overlord Emperor Lords inside the warship completely gave up on escaping, because they would die even if they left the warship. They could sense the eternal aura on Jiang Xuan's body, and in an instant, they understood. This wasn't a supreme, but he had such power, so there was only one possibility.

An ultimate Emperor Lord had appeared in this Chaos Universe!

"Respected ultimate Emperor Lord, could you spare the lives of those weak juniors?"

"Spare us, we were forced to do this."

"Emperor Lord, you can kill us, but these children, they are also lives of this Chaos Universe, please spare their lives."

Some Overlord Emperor Lords begged for mercy, while others were willing to die, hoping their descendants could live. As soon as Jiang Xuan entered, his mind power easily enveloped every part of the warship. With just a thought, all the Sith Clan powerhouses inside the warship would die.

"A bunch of pitiful worms."

Jiang Xuan shook his head. Seeing this scene, he knew what the Sith Clan was planning.

Inside this warship were many Chaos Worlds, time-spaces of life, countless beings, plus those Overlord Emperor Lords, all part of a trap to lure Jiang Xuan.

These beings had been abandoned by the Sith Clan from the very beginning.

"Collect." Jiang Xuan moved and came to those Overlord Emperor Lords who had given up struggling. With a wave of his hand, he collected them all.

Many of these Overlord Emperor Lords were forced, but that didn't mean they didn't need to pay the price. After the war ended, Jiang Xuan and the others would naturally arrange a destination for these Overlord Emperor Lords.

Then, he collected the weak Sith Clan descendants living in the various Chaos Worlds inside the warship. As for those who were still thinking of escaping, Jiang Xuan was too lazy to chase them and directly killed them with a thought.

However, when Jiang Xuan walked out of the warship, the outside world had changed, becoming a vast and magnificent divine殿,神殿廣場(shrine/palace). At the edge of the shrine plaza were eight pillars, each with a figure sitting cross-legged on top. Each one was a Venerable Lord!

"They're really willing to spend a lot of capital."

Jiang Xuan smiled and strode through the void, his mind power enveloping everything, locking onto the Venerable Lords in eight directions: "Sacrificing so many lives, just to exchange for my life, is it worth it?"

Inside the warship was already a civilization, with billions of lives. Although they were Sith Clan descendants, they were born in this Chaos Universe and accepted by the Chaos Universe.

If faced with the same situation, he asked himself if he could do something like sacrificing billions of lives to bury someone with him, no matter how extraordinary or important that person was.

"Didn't the Emperor Lord not kill them?"

One of the Venerable Lords, shrouded in lightning, transmitted a voice, as if to confirm that Jiang Xuan would not act.

But Jiang Xuan knew they weren't betting on whether Jiang Xuan would kill, but they really didn't care about the lives of those beings. All that Yiyer sought was victory.

Death, in his eyes, was just a number.

"Why sacrifice your lives for Yiyer? If you surrender, I can guarantee your safety," Jiang Xuan said. The six Venerable Lords who were imprisoned were also spared, at most a few more prisons would be built.

"How do you know that name?!"

However, the Sith Clan Venerable Lords didn't care what Jiang Xuan said next. When they heard the name Yiyer from Jiang Xuan's mouth, their minds were stunned.

Yiyer was revered and was taboo within the Sith Clan. Even his name couldn't be known below the Overlord level. Even during the ancient wars, he had never taken action.

But now, Jiang Xuan directly spoke Yiyer's name, which they found extremely unbelievable.

Jiang Xuan smiled, not answering their question, but said quietly, "Don't you understand? As invaders, you are destined to fail. This is the will of the Chaos Universe."

"Nonsense!" Another Venerable Lord shouted: "The great Yiyer will surely achieve great feats and become the second controller of endless space!"

"Is that so?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and did not answer. Instead, he walked in a certain direction, as if he didn't care about them and was about to leave directly.

"Hmph!"

Just as Jiang Xuan moved, the vast gray-white divine殿 suddenly burst out with mighty power.

Under the guidance of the eight Sith Clan Venerable Lords, time and space shifted in an instant. Jiang Xuan felt the scene before him change and turned into a magnificent palace, with white clouds in the air and fragrant flowers.

"An illusion formation? Worthy of being an ultimate supreme."

Jiang Xuan sighed. Only an ultimate supreme could do this. Every Dao was at the eternal and ultimate level. Unfortunately, his Dao was suppressed and could not truly display its power in this Chaos Universe.

Otherwise, even without the control of the eight Venerable Lords, this illusion formation would be enough to trap a supreme.

"Now that the Emperor Lord has arrived, why rush to leave? Why not sit down and discuss the Dao with us?"

A ethereal voice came, undoubtedly from one of the eight Venerable Lords. This illusion formation was set up by an ultimate supreme. Even if the power of the Dao was suppressed, it could still trap a true supreme under the control of the eight Venerable Lords.

"An illusion formation, do you think it can trap me?"

Jiang Xuan chuckled. His attainments in the Dao of Mind Power were no less than that of a supreme. It was impossible to bewitch him with an illusion formation.

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, his movements slow, but unstoppable, easily tearing apart the magnificent illusion world before him, revealing the real world.

The Dao of Time and Space, plus the Dao of Mind Power, made it easy to break this illusion formation, but even among supremes, few could do this.

"Hahaha… truly amazing, to break the illusion so easily. Among the six known supremes of the cultivator civilization, only the Emperor Shi Supreme of the 'Myriad Dao Illusion Origin' can do this so easily. Truly worthy of being an ultimate Emperor Lord."

An old voice rang out, with envy in his tone. This was normal. Which of the nine Chaos Universes, plus countless smaller Chaos Universes, didn't envy beings of the ultimate Dao?

They were too powerful, surpassing everything. At the Emperor Lord level, they could rival or even surpass supremes. In any Chaos Universe, they were the top powerhouses.

"Emperor Lord, you are indeed powerful, but do you think you can escape so easily?"

This was an ultimate Emperor Lord, and they dared not be careless. Yiyer had instructed them before they came.

In an instant, the huge gray-white shrine plaza suddenly rotated. The edges quickly rose upwards, while the center sank downwards. In the blink of an eye, the entire gray-white palace had changed, and a hemispherical prison appeared, completely covering Jiang Xuan.

"A time-space sealing formation?"

Jiang Xuan looked at the formation, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He could clearly sense the profoundness of the formation. Both the Dao of Time and Space and the Dao of Formation were at the eternal and ultimate level. If Jiang Xuan hadn't integrated other Great Daos, his attainments in the Dao of Time and Space would be similar to this formation.

Of course, after integrating other Great Daos, the ultimate Dao of Time and Space, as Jiang Xuan's core Dao, had naturally undergone a transformation and was much higher than the time-space attainments in this formation.

Of course, what really made Jiang Xuan curious was the fusion of the Dao of Formation and the Dao of Time and Space. If he could comprehend it thoroughly, he might be able to integrate the Dao of Formation into his own ultimate Dao of Time and Space.

"It's really mysterious, worthy of being the means of an ultimate supreme. Even in other Chaos Universes, it's terrifyingly strong."

Through this formation, Jiang Xuan had an even greater longing for ultimate supremes. That level was too powerful, truly mastering all Daos, each reaching the eternal and ultimate level, which was unbelievable.

For example, this time-space formation, even with his understanding of time and space, it would take half a month to completely break it. But Jiang Xuan wasn't in a hurry now. The Sith Clan wanted to trap him, but wasn't he also delaying time, waiting for the Dharma body to set up with the other supremes?

"However, why didn't Yiyer come in person? How could he tolerate the birth of an ultimate Emperor Lord in the cultivator civilization?"

Jiang Xuan was also somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, Yiyer knew best how terrifying the first ultimate Emperor Lord born in a Chaos Universe was, favored by the luck of the entire Chaos Universe. The longer the time was delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for Yiyer.

Just like in the original trajectory, after learning that Ji Ning had become an ultimate Emperor Lord, he directly rushed to the battlefield to kill Ji Ning. But this time he didn't come, which was really strange.

Of course, he had already informed the other supremes of this and asked them to be vigilant at all times. As for him, with these methods, it was impossible to hurt him. Plus, he had made preparations in advance, so even if Yiyer came, he had the confidence to leave safely.
