Chapter 1 The Beginning

　　Hoo~

　　Outside, Jiang Xuan had already crossed the barriers of space and time, arriving next to the Guardian Tower. He touched the outer wall of the tower, and then, using the Dao of Space-Time, silently passed through the outer wall's defenses, entering the interior.

　　"He's in!" On the eighth floor of the Guardian Tower, the golden alien life widened its eyes, its face filled with ecstasy. It immediately gave the order, "All black-robed emperors, listen up! Prepare yourselves! I will have him die inside this Guardian Tower."

　　"Yes, Dominator," voices came from all directions.

　　Within each Guardian Tower, besides the controller, there were many other lives. In this particular Guardian Tower, the controller was the golden alien life, a gold-robed emperor who had undergone the self-sacrifice ritual. He was already at the Dominator level, and with the body of the gold-robed emperor, he was considered a powerful figure among the alien universe masters.

　　Besides him, there were also many black-robed emperors in this Guardian Tower. The strongest among them were emperors at the level of city lords of the Holy City, and after the self-sacrifice ritual, they could rival Dominators.

　　"Hahaha... so what if you are an ultimate emperor? You dare to enter. Inside this Guardian Tower, even if I can't kill you, I can severely injure you. Moreover, the message has already been sent out. As long as we can hold you here until the adults from the Holy World arrive, you will surely die!"

　　The golden alien life was full of confidence. It immediately turned and stepped into the void, disappearing from its original location.

　　The next moment, it appeared in the most core location of the Guardian Tower, a dim space containing a complex, massive array disc resembling a millstone, constantly rotating slowly.

　　This place was shrouded in space-time, with waves sweeping across the heavens and earth. The golden alien life now stood on the array disc, the most core location of the entire Guardian Tower, and also the control center of the entire hidden space.

　　Here, it could perfectly control the Guardian Tower, unleashing its greatest power. Moreover, it didn't really want to kill Jiang Xuan, only to delay him until the Holy World experts arrived, who would naturally kill him!

　　Having遁(dun) into the Guardian Tower, Jiang Xuan entered a brand new world, a cave heaven space of only a million *li* in circumference. Countless secret纹(wen) flowed across the space, with faint雷龙(lei long) soaring above.

　　Within this cave heaven space, there was emptiness, with only Jiang Xuan alone. However, he could sense that beyond this million-*li* cave heaven, there were other space-times.

　　"As expected, a space-time maze?"

　　Jiang Xuan wasn't surprised. He knew that within each Guardian Tower, there were many secrets, including countless space-times nurturing life, countless dead space-times forming a space-time maze, and many strange lives from the endless space.

　　"But there are still some differences."

　　Jiang Xuan's attainments in the Dao of Space-Time were very high, far surpassing that of a Supreme, so his senses were also very clear. The space-time mazes around him seemed to have no differences, but in reality, there were very subtle differences.

　　Of course, these differences were very small. Ordinary Supremes might not be able to discover them so quickly. Only Jiang Xuan, being an ultimate space-time emperor, had an understanding and perception of the Dao of Space-Time that was far beyond ordinary beings, so he could sense it immediately.

　　"Rumble~~"

　　Suddenly, all the secret紋(wen) within this million-*li* space lit up, and countless雷龙(lei long) roared, each surpassing the Eternal Divine Thunder, overwhelming the sky and earth as they bombarded Jiang Xuan.

　　"Not bad power."

　　Jiang Xuan nodded, and then pointed a finger. The entire void solidified, and countless雷龙(lei long) were annihilated as they rushed into the area within a hundred *zhang* around Jiang Xuan, unable to harm him at all.

　　However, this energy was still astonishing. Countless雷龙(lei long) at the level of surpassing the Eternal Divine Thunder bombarded, and even a master of an alien universe probably couldn't withstand it for more than a few breaths. Even the domain lords of the Eight Regions wouldn't dare to stay in this thunder domain for a long time, as it could threaten their lives.

　　This was just a Guardian Tower at the Dominator level. If it were at the Venerable level, calling upon the secret紋(wen) in the space-time maze within the Guardian Tower could probably instantly obliterate beings at the level of the domain lords of the Eight Regions.

　　"Open!"

　　Jiang Xuan formed a sword with his fingers, and the Space-Time Sword Dao erupted again. A single sword seemed to cut the space, instantly breaking through this space-time.

　　A large opening in space-time appeared, and Jiang Xuan immediately flew out, entering a seemingly endless void. In this void, there were cave heaven space after cave heaven space, all spherical in shape, connected to each other, with some void gaps between them.

　　Jiang Xuan was now in the void gap, flying and observing.

　　"Forcing intruders to enter cave heaven space after cave heaven space?"

　　Jiang Xuan thought in his heart. The space-time structure here was very peculiar. Within each cave heaven space, there were many secret紋(wen), capable of calling upon power infinitely close to the Venerable level.

　　And in this void, there were also many dangers. Jiang Xuan could clearly sense that in the depths of this void, there were dozens of *qi* mechanisms, all pointing at him at this moment.

　　Boom!

　　At this instant, a divine fire shot out from a nearby space-time, directly bombarding Jiang Xuan. However, this power annihilated itself as it approached Jiang Xuan.

　　Around Jiang Xuan, space-time flickered and vanished, with endless nothingness. All power would be annihilated. This was his space-time domain, and ordinary means could not threaten him at all.

　　"Courting death?"

　　Jiang Xuan pointed a finger, and space-time collapsed. Billions of sword lights broke through the void, turning into a long river of sword dao, traversing the void, tearing apart cave heaven space after cave heaven space, and killing towards the depths of the void.

　　"Ah!!"

　　A miserable cry came from the depths of the void, and a point of light lit up. It was a powerful Sith weapon, comparable to Da Feng Leader's Azure Sun Star on the outside world, but it was torn and pierced in an instant, exploding in the chaotic void.

　　This was the power of the Eternal Ultimate Dao. Moreover, Jiang Xuan wasn't just at the time of his breakthrough. Now, he had already integrated several great Daos, urging the Space-Time Sword Dao, and its power was comparable to a Supreme.

　　"Attack!"

　　In the depths of the void, another loud shout came. They had no choice. Each Guardian Tower was actually a civilization, and the controller was the one standing at the peak, controlling the other lives.

　　Now, the order they had received was to do everything they could to delay Jiang Xuan, waiting for the strongest experts from the Holy World to arrive. If they dared to retreat, the master of the Guardian Tower would not let them off.

　　In an instant, various energies rose in the void, either blazing divine fire, or eternal ice crystals, or chaotic 雷龙(lei long), or shocking sword light... Each power surpassed the eternal level, and could threaten the lives of experts at the level of the domain lords of the Eight Regions.

　　"Why bother?"

　　Jiang Xuan entered the Guardian Tower because of the Sith civilization within the Guardian Tower. He remembered that the Sith experts had created techniques targeting the cultivators' civilization, creating a method that could cultivate to the level of a One-Step Dao Lord.

　　These methods were all prepared for the Sith descendants. After all, the Sith descendants were also born in this chaotic universe. The origin of the chaotic universe encompassed them, and they could also sense the origin and Dao of this chaotic universe, allowing them to cultivate.

　　And the Sith high-level members also used this to create cultivation methods, wanting to cultivate "Sith Supremes" who had successfully cultivated in this universe.

　　But their expectations were too high. They wanted to create a perfect cultivation method based on the existing cultivator civilization, removing the tribulations of each stage of cultivation, and even creating a 合道(He Dao) method that would not be destroyed by the void or the chaos. (He Dao: Combining with the Dao)

　　But they could never succeed, because they were not beings of this chaotic universe, and could not sense the Dao of this chaotic universe. No matter how high their realm was, or how perfect their deduction was, there would be deviations.

　　Jiang Xuan knew this situation best, because many times he would ask Jiang Xuans from other worlds to help him deduce, but even with his memories and insights, the methods and secret techniques that were eventually deduced would still have subtle deviations.

　　Of course, as the realm grew higher and higher, this deviation became smaller and smaller, and even now, there was no problem in using it directly, except that there would be slight differences at the extreme point.

　　It was because of these reasons that although the Sith had an ultimate Supreme, they could not deduce a complete cultivation method, and only reached the level of a One-Step Dao Lord.

　　Moreover, because this method was not perfect, after cultivating to the level of a One-Step Dao Lord, they would still face the danger of the Great Dao collapsing and the True Spirit crumbling, and it was not suitable for inheritance in the cultivator civilization.

　　And now, what Jiang Xuan wanted to do was actually similar to what the Sith wanted. He wanted to use the perfect Great Dao of the Sith to deduce a perfect cultivation method for the cultivator civilization.

　　Moreover, he was an ultimate emperor, and if he were to comprehend and deduce it, there was definitely hope to perfect it.

　　Especially the most crucial method of 合道(He Dao) without destruction, whether it was void without destruction or chaos without destruction, as long as one of them was successful, he could start his subsequent plans on a large scale.

　　However, since these Sith now wanted to stop him, he had no other choice but to choose to wipe them all out.

　　"Great Space-Time Extinction!"

　　Several great Daos integrated into the Ultimate Dao of Space-Time converged at this moment, and infinite space-time trembled at this moment. The power of chaos was滔滔(tao tao), and cave heaven space after cave heaven space began to collapse irresistibly. (滔滔 (tao tao): surging)

　　Outside the endless space-time, the black-robed emperors who were piloting the Sith war weapons looked horrified, and could only watch as the void continued to collapse and die, annihilating and turning into nothingness.

　　Moreover, the range of annihilation was attacking them at an unimaginable speed, instantly collapsing countless cave heaven space.

　　"Stop it!"

　　One by one, the black-robed emperors went crazy. They had no choice but to fight to the death. Even if they knew that there was no possibility of winning, they had to do everything they could. If they could stop Jiang Xuan for a breath, they would stop Jiang Xuan for a breath.

　　However, all of this was in vain. Facing the ultimate emperor, even if they were black-robed emperors, it was useless. Even if Jiang Xuan only called upon the power of the Dao, he could obliterate them, not to mention that he had used a killing move now, instantly collapsing most of this space-time maze.

　　"It's really terrifying..."

　　In the core of the Guardian Tower, the golden alien life was also trembling, but in its eyes was more madness. It had already sent out the message, and had received a reply from the Sith Holy World. Now, even if it had to give everything, it had to delay Jiang Xuan.

　　"But... it's almost here."

　　A resolute look appeared in the eyes of the golden alien life. It knew that it had to make a choice.

　　Inside the Guardian Tower, Jiang Xuan wiped out the many black-robed emperors in the void, but he also held back. He did not completely obliterate these black-robed emperors, but left their corpses behind. After collecting their bodies, Jiang Xuan also cut open space-time and went towards a cave heaven space.

　　That was a space-time where the Sith lived and multiplied, and many Sith descendants lived and cultivated here. After Jiang Xuan entered, he did not attack them.

　　Although there was bound to be a war between the cultivator civilization and the Sith, Jiang Xuan was not a madman. Most of these Sith descendants were weak, and did not even know the difference between the Sith and the cultivators. Naturally, Jiang Xuan had no interest in obliterating them.

　　Moreover, he also wanted to use these beings to understand the differences between the Sith descendants and the cultivators, and then use this to deduce the Sith's methods, so as to create the Dao and methods belonging to their chaotic universe.

　　During the ancient war, many Supremes had already seized many Sith treasures, including many cultivation methods and secret techniques. In addition to the Dao藏(dao zang) left by Supreme Qi, as long as he could completely analyze the differences between the Sith and the cultivators, he could reversely deduce the perfect method of the cultivator civilization. (道藏 (dao zang): Daoist scriptures)

　　In fact, Supreme Qi had already tried this. For example, the Qinghua power evolved by Ji Ning after unlocking the nine layers of chaotic restrictions was one of Supreme Qi's achievements.

　　However, Supreme Qi was not an ultimate Dao after all. His perception of the Dao might be more extensive than Jiang Xuan, but his perception of the origin of chaos was far inferior to Jiang Xuan.

　　Recording the life origin of the Sith descendants did not take Jiang Xuan much time. When he was about to leave, he also sensed a *qi* mechanism, erupting from the endless void. In an instant, the entire Guardian Tower became different, seemingly countless times more dangerous than before.

　　"Are they here?"

　　Jiang Xuan thought to himself. He had expected that the news here would definitely reach the ears of the Sith high-level members, and that the Light Ultimate Supreme would definitely send experts.

　　Now, the speed was also within his expectations.

　　……

　　A few breaths ago, at the core of the Guardian Tower, a large hand tore apart the space, and a dark space channel suddenly appeared in the void. Then, an ancient tree flew out of the space channel!

　　It was a kind of ancient tree life, with countless branches and leaves. There was a huge eye on the trunk. It flew out of this dark channel and looked coldly at the golden alien life.

　　"Is this a Destroyer-Level Life?!"

　　The golden alien life was terrified. It naturally knew what level of life this was. These lives were all followers around that great existence, and each one was extremely terrifying, stronger than the Sith Venerables, and infinitely close to the Supreme level.

　　Within the Sith, there were also many Destroyer-Level war weapons, which required a large number of Dominator Emperors to pilot, and even posed a threat to Dao Lords like Ji Ning in the original trajectory, who had failed to 合道(He Dao) but had comprehended the Eternal Ultimate Dao. (He Dao: Combining with the Dao)

　　And Destroyer-Level Lives were powerful lives from the endless space outside the chaotic universe. It was precisely because of this that they became the servants of that Sith being.

　　"From now on, I will take charge of the Guardian Tower. Later, Venerables will arrive with treasures. You and I only need to hold on for a few days."

　　The ancient tree life said, and countless branches and leaves grew wildly, spreading out from this core space, and spreading towards other areas of the Guardian Tower. When it was living in that endless space before it was captured and tamed by the Sith Light Ultimate Supreme, its true body was as huge as a celestial body, so it could naturally envelop the entire Guardian Tower.
