The Divine Realm, at the very center of the void universe, was once the most prosperous place. Even in the void, there were tiered buildings and countless magnificent palaces; it was the sacred land for all races in the universe to worship.
But now, this void was filled with desolation and killing intent. The void drifted with the corpses of strong individuals, broken palaces, and pervasive spatial rifts.
At this moment, terrifying fluctuations occasionally spread throughout the void. Powerful figures were fighting and battling. This was the most brutal war in the history of the void universe.
Countless strong individuals were drawn into it and perished. Blood stained the originally clean, white starry sky red, and one colossal star after another turned into ruins.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a silver spear streaked across the void, creating a terrifying sonic boom as it crushed towards a massive figure ahead.
"Roar..."
A roar echoed through the void, shaking it. It was a void beast burning with black-purple flames. It soared into the sky, a thousand zhang tall, with scarlet eyes and a ferocious countenance. Its sharp claws swiped fiercely at the incoming spear.
However, before it could get close, the spear suddenly lit up with brilliant light, as if it could pierce everything in the world. It directly penetrated the beast's head, pinning it in mid-air.
This was just something happening in a corner of the battlefield.
This void beast was a peak invincible sixth-tier expert, a overlord of a certain star domain. Yet, an existence like it was merely an ordinary soldier on this battlefield.
Here, high-tier experts were generals, and invincibles were soldiers.
Any being encountered was a terrifying existence that could reign as king or ancestor.
This war swept across the entire universe. Almost all invincible experts were involved; no one could remain aloof.
Further away, immensely vast and terrifying figures were locked in combat. Those were high-tier experts, whose every move caused the entire star domain to tremble violently.
If this star domain were not the territory of the Divine Realm, it would have been refined countless times by the Divine Realm's experts. At this moment, it would have long since shattered.
A long rainbow streaked across the distant void, instantly drawing the attention of countless beings.
Li Xiaotian had arrived!
"It's him!"
"Xiaotian! Haha, you truly didn't disappoint us!"
Exclamations arose, and many recognized Li Xiaotian. After all, he had once been wanted by the entire Divine Realm universe, and his appearance was no longer a secret.
At the same time, Jun Wu of the Half-God Hall laughed heartily, a look of satisfaction on his face. He had always known that Li Xiaotian would bring him different surprises after emerging from Bai Zhan City.
"Boom!"
As soon as Li Xiaotian appeared, he immediately attacked. His fist shot through the void, emitting a heart-palpitating aura, tearing through the void as it lunged at a high-tier expert of the Divine Realm.
That high-tier expert of the Divine Realm was a burly man in his prime, with sharp eyes.
Feeling the terrifying power assaulting him, a cold smirk curled up on his lips. He also threw a punch fiercely, and their iron fists collided.
"Bang!"
A dull thud echoed. The man's arm instantly twisted and deformed, his bones shattering. Then, Li Xiaotian struck again, a heavy blow to his chest sending the Divine Realm expert flying backward.
Puff!
A column of blood spurted from the man's throat. His body slammed heavily onto a star, creating a deep crater.
His face was filled with disbelief; he simply couldn't believe it was real. At the same time, many high-tier experts on the battlefield subconsciously stopped their attacks, their eyes filled with horror.
They could clearly see that Li Xiaotian had only just entered the high-tier, but why did he possess such terrifying combat power?
Li Xiaotian did not cease his onslaught. He strode forward, and with every step, a dazzling silver light bloomed beneath his feet. Like a sharp sword, it pierced through the colossal bodies of his opponents, causing blood rain to splatter. In an instant, he forcefully slew his foes.
Behind him, the Devouring Great Dao was fully revealed, consuming everything and channeling it as pure energy into his body. This caused his aura to grow increasingly formidable.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xiaotian's path became a slaughterhouse. No matter how strong they were, they all perished at this moment.
The battle instantly intensified. Li Xiaotian became the target, and three veteran high-tier experts joined forces to surround and attack him.
But Li Xiaotian showed no fear, counterattacking fiercely, fighting a battle so intense it darkened the heavens and earth.
Li Xiaotian's body flickered with light, the Devouring Great Dao operating madly, absorbing all surrounding attacks. His speed was incredible, his physical body comparable to supreme divine artifacts.
His eyes glowed with cold, ruthless intent. Strands of chaotic energy sprinkled down like a galaxy, enveloping the three experts.
The bodies of the three high-tier experts instantly froze for a moment, as if they were imprisoned. Although this lasted only a few brief seconds, Li Xiaotian seized the opportunity.
"Puff!"
Li Xiaotian waved his hand, and a surge of boundless devouring power spread out, directly engulfing the three experts. In an instant, their bodies stiffened, their expressions changed drastically. They tried to break free but could not. They were brutally devoured until nothing remained.
This time, Li Xiaotian undoubtedly caused more shock. Five powerhouses from the Divine Realm jointly attacked, and Li Xiaotian also launched a fierce counterattack.
The entire battlefield was like a purgatory, with experts constantly perishing, great daos wailing, and the void raining blood. This was because too many strong individuals had died, causing the cosmic great dao to mutate.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, the war had lasted for ten years. During these ten years, Li Xiaotian had killed countless opponents. Of course, he had also been injured, but with the heaven-defying Devouring Great Dao, his injuries could recover quickly.
The allied forces of the Half-God Hall and the Heavenly Alliance finally broke through into the Divine Realm. The Divine Realm launched a fierce counterattack, instantly escalating the brutality of the war.
In the twentieth year of the war, Li Xiaotian encountered the true form of the Divine Realm's Blood Ancestor. They battled for three years, and finally, the Blood Ancestor was forcefully slain by Li Xiaotian.
In the fiftieth year of the war, five top-tier experts emerged from the Divine Race, their strength overwhelming, sweeping across all directions.
In the hundredth year of the war, the Five Elders of the Divine Race perished, the Divine Realm collapsed, and at the same time, the Lord of the Divine Race, the strongest being in the universe, the Divine, appeared and began a slaughter.
But ultimately, under the relentless assault of countless experts, the Divine was killed by the combined forces of the myriad races.
Thus, the grandest war in the void universe concluded. From then on, the rule of the Divine Race was no more, and the subjugation of weaker worlds ceased.
All races in the universe began their period of recovery and recuperation.
The Half-God Hall and the Heavenly Alliance jointly established new rules based on fairness and justice, creating a new cosmic order. From then on, the void universe was filled with peace and harmony.
Time flowed swiftly. In the Jiuzhou World, in a place like a fairyland, Li Xiaotian returned to a life of ordinary peace, living a leisurely life with his wife, Ye Qingmei.
With Li Xiaotian's help, Ye Qingmei had become an invincible expert and possessed a long lifespan. The couple often traveled the universe together.
Once, Li Xiaotian even took his wife to the universes of several other regions, witnessing their prosperity.
As for their daughter, Tiantian, she had also become an invincible expert and was forging her own path in the universe.
One day, Li Xiaotian sat on a mountain peak under the sunset, reflecting on his journey with a sense of emotion, especially the final battle where the Divine Race had almost made a comeback but was ultimately defeated by him and a group of allied experts.
"What are you thinking about?" At this moment, Ye Qingmei walked over and leaned her shoulder against Li Xiaotian's.
"Thinking about the past," Li Xiaotian replied.
"What about the past?" Ye Qingmei asked.
"Nothing, darling. I'll take you somewhere," Li Xiaotian's eyes flashed. He took Ye Qingmei's hand and vanished instantly. When they reappeared, they were in a bustling modern city.
"Where is this..." Ye Qingmei's eyes were filled with confusion, but then they widened.
"Jiangcheng. This is where we first met. Darling, I'll take you to retrace our steps," Li Xiaotian said, holding Ye Qingmei's hand as they walked into the crowd.
