"Is this the Water Spirit?" Chen Fan instinctively reached out.
Hee-lulu.
The Water Spirit was very lively and ran directly in front of Chen Fan.
Its long, slender horse face nuzzled his hand affectionately.
From the Water Spirit, Chen Fan felt a profound sense of kinship.
"My spirit."
A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.
This was the spirit.
A spirit that had entered the ninth tier.
Without a spirit, one could not reach the ninth tier.
He had not only condensed a spirit, but upon condensation, it was already a segment of spirit.
Spirits were also divided into nine segments, used to demarcate the tiers of ninth-tier powerhouses.
"Haha."
Chen Fan burst into laughter.
His laughter echoed through the water world, filled with satisfaction.
It was worth it.
Before even reaching the ninth tier, he had condensed a two-segment Dao Spirit.
With a shift of his mind, the Water Spirit dissipated, merging into the world.
When he opened his eyes, looking at the others again, they seemed different.
Except for Mo Die, the others all had a touch of etherealness about them.
It was as if something was preventing his gaze from probing further.
Shua.
Yin Yang Dao Master suddenly turned his head and smiled, "A one-segment Dao Spirit, City Lord, you have great fortune."
"However... City Lord Chen, since you have just condensed your Dao Spirit, it's best not to probe indiscriminately."
Chen Fan clasped his fists, "My apologies, I've just condensed my Dao Spirit and am not yet skilled."
Yin Yang Dao Master did not mind, nodding, "Condensing a Dao Spirit is a good thing, indicating that the path to the ninth tier has opened for the City Lord. Congratulations in advance."
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded, then withdrew his gaze.
The Dragon King and the other two had already walked far away.
In the ninth-tier Dao Universe, every trace of Dao was a treasure to them.
Ka.
Chen Fan raised his hand and grabbed, several streams of Dao power being pulled into his grasp.
The group did not pause for a moment.
And in the outside world at this time.
"It's about to collapse..." Lu Qi and the others looked at the Great World before them.
The Bright Realm was now violently trembling.
This was a sign of too much Dao power being extracted.
The balance of the Dao net had been broken.
Boom boom boom.
The Bright Realm trembled more and more violently.
It was going to collapse.
...
Void Passage.
Boom.
Boundless light suddenly bloomed above the tenth land.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had suns and moons.
The sun and moon hung in the sky simultaneously.
And at this moment, next to that radiant sun, another sun appeared.
"Pingxi."
A cold voice resounded throughout the tenth land.
From within the Dao Universe of the Bright Realm, the voice rolled in.
"Not good."
Pingxi's expression suddenly changed, "It's Guangming, he's back."
He had heard the voice.
Not only him, but Chen Fan and the others had also heard it.
The voice, like that of a divine being from high above, filled with boundless coldness, echoed across the tenth land.
Boom.
The next moment, in the Dao Universe of the Bright Realm.
In an instant, all power was drained.
The Lord of Light had siphoned away all the Dao power.
"Get out."
Yin Yang Dao Master's expression was grave.
The Bright Realm was now empty.
With the return of the Lord of Light, the greatest crisis had arrived.
...
Outside.
The waiting crowd all looked up.
Everyone saw the second sun in the sky.
Endless light power flowed like streams of stars, falling from the heavens.
That was light.
"Lord... of Light? Gulp..." Someone swallowed.
Then, fear spread rapidly.
Looking at the second sun in the sky, as the voice resounded, everyone felt boundless fear.
The ninth tier had appeared.
Boom.
Yin Yang Dao Master, Chen Fan, Sword Master, Dragon King, Mo Die – the five of them walked out of the Bright Realm.
They looked up at the sky and saw the second sun.
Ordinary people couldn't see clearly, but that didn't mean they couldn't.
That was no sun at all, but a figure radiating boundless light power.
At this moment, that figure was descending from the sky step by step.
With each step, the sky-shattering aura intensified.
The aura of death spread across the heavens and earth.
The entire tenth land was enveloped in the power of light.
"Go."
At this moment, Chen Fan unhesitatingly swept up the people of the Life and Death Realm, "Return east, revive..."
The crisis had arrived too quickly.
They had to maximize the fighting strength of their side.
Sword Master, Dragon King... simultaneously swept up their respective groups and rushed eastward.
At this moment, Yin Yang Dao Master also followed.
A heavy voice sounded, "I will immediately summon the Southern Great Emperor to rush east and join the battle."
"Mm."
Everyone nodded.
At this time, they absolutely could not split up.
If the Lord of Light defeated them one by one, they would have no chance.
Boom boom boom.
Chaos was rapidly being opened up.
East, West... were very far.
Even with their full speed, it would take at least a day.
And the second sun in the sky had already begun to descend rapidly.
"All of you will die." The voice of the Lord of Light echoed through the heavens and earth.
His killing intent was no longer concealed.
Anger.
The reason was not the death of his subordinates; he never cared about the death of his subordinates. What he cared about was... the Dao Universe, and the Dao Spirit.
"Too fast."
The hearts of several people sank.
The speed at which the Lord of Light descended was such that in another few minutes, he would arrive.
Yet, it would take them a day to reach the east.
"What should we do?" Mo Die panicked.
"..."
There was no way.
Chen Fan said in a deep voice, "If all else fails, we'll fight to the death."
A last resort.
No one had expected the Lord of Light to return so quickly.
The group exchanged glances, seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
Fight.
Since there was no time, they would do it.
Boom.
However...
Just as the group was preparing to fight, a world-shattering lightning bolt suddenly pierced the heavens and earth from the distant Eastern Domain.
That lightning was dazzlingly bright.
"That is..."
Yin Yang Dao Master rejoiced, "A contingency left by the Thunder Master."
In the vast tenth land, only the missing Thunder Master possessed such powerful lightning.
Indeed, the Lord of Light provided the answer.
"Hmph."
A cold snort echoed, "Thunder Master, you are already dead, can you still stop this Emperor?"
Boom.
The Divine Fist of Light bloomed.
The lightning that pierced the heavens and earth was directly shattered by the Divine Fist of Light.
"Nothing special."
The Lord of Light sneered, "The person is dead, what can a mere contingency do to me?"
"Rise."
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
Chen Fan and the others turned their heads sharply, looking towards the distant Thunder Domain.
There, a figure slowly ascended, walking towards the Lord of Light.
"Wuji?"
Chen Fan recognized him. That person... was Wuji.
Wuji was the manifestation of the Thunder Master's will.
"City Lord."
As Wuji ascended, a voice reached Chen Fan's ears, "I will buy you one day's time. The rest is up to you."
Boom.
The Thunder Domain erupted.
Countless lightning bolts exploded.
No, it was not lightning, but... heavenly pillars.
The heavenly pillars that originally encircled the entire Thunder Domain now shot up into the sky, mobilized by Wuji.
"Kill."
At this moment, Wuji transformed into the sovereign of the lightning path.
Boom boom boom.
One by one, the heavenly pillars suppressed the heavens and earth, shattering all the boundless light.
"Hahaha."
The Lord of Light laughed, "A wisp of will fragment, do you think it can stop me?"
"I could kill your very being, what's to say I can't kill a mere will fragment once more? Hahahaha..."
This sentence revealed the truth hidden for a million years.
The Thunder Master had perished.
