The Thunder Sword strike landed.
A ferocious scar appeared on the Lord of Light.
Bang.
Yet, the perpetrator of it all was sent flying backward.
His hands, trembling, clutched the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and his staff tightly.
The rebound.
His hands could barely hold onto the weapons.
"City Lord, mighty."
Old Demon Chu started shouting again.
The City Lord had accomplished what no one else could.
If he didn't shout a few times now, he'd be letting down the City Lord.
The people of the Land of Life and Death were immediately inspired, "City Lord, mighty..."
...
Heaven and earth fell silent.
Only the synchronized shouts of the Land of Life and Death echoed.
At the zenith of the heavens, the Lord of Light remained motionless for a long time.
He lowered his head, silently gazing at the wound on his chest.
The power of light surged over the wound, causing it to vanish rapidly.
A mere superficial injury, it had no effect on him.
However... a mighty storm of light was slowly rising.
"Good, very good."
The Lord of Light finally looked up.
His gaze towards Chen Fan was filled with boundless killing intent.
"This Emperor detests lightning the most."
He spoke, his voice filled with boundless rage, "Today, you will find death difficult to come by. I... will suppress you for eons, to repay this sword strike."
The word "repay"... he spat it out through gritted teeth.
Boom.
Boundless light churned.
Heaven and earth seemed to overturn at this moment.
The power of light swept through the Tenth Land, the vast Tenth Land trembling violently as if it could not withstand the pressure of a ninth-tier being.
"Kill."
The Lord of Yin Yang made his move.
His voice reverberated, "Kill them all, put them to death to find life."
They could not allow the Lord of Light's aura to continue gathering.
Clang.
The black blade merged with yin and yang.
With a single strike, a void rift thousands of meters long appeared, enveloping the Lord of Light.
The enraged Lord of Light pointed a finger.
Ding.
The void rift stopped before him.
The blade's energy, as if unaffected, was shattered by his single finger.
Bang!
The rift shattered, the black blade sent flying backward.
Overwhelming power of light pierced heaven and earth, sending the Lord of Yin Yang spitting blood and flying backward.
Hum.
Endless radiance bloomed.
Behind the Lord of Light, the Dao Spirit of Light appeared.
It was a serpent, yet it possessed luminous scales, writhing joyfully behind the Lord of Light.
The appearance of the Spirit of Light signaled that the Lord of Light had lost his patience and no longer wished to play.
Rumble.
The chaos churned even more violently.
All the light power contained within the chaos was converging towards him.
"Attack."
The Sword Master and the Dragon King arrived together.
A dragon's body, thousands of meters long, spanned the sky, shattering everything.
The wooden sword in the Sword Master's hand directly broke.
With a raise of his hand, he drew a chaotic sword.
The Dragon King and the Sword Master launched their strongest attacks from the outset.
"Seeking death."
The Lord of Light spoke.
He still pointed a calm finger, without a hint of ostentation.
It was as if it were an ordinary finger, yet it shattered the dragon's body and the chaotic sword.
Boom.
The two overlords were sent flying backward.
"Kill."
The Great Emperor powerhouses, covering the sky, charged ferociously.
There was no possibility of peace in this battle.
One side was destined to perish.
No one retreated.
Rumble.
Heaven and earth roared, the entire chaos thrown into disarray.
This time, the Lord of Light did not evade.
He had gathered too much power; all the light power of the Tenth Land was upon him.
"Oracle, Light."
Hiss.
The light serpent flicked its tongue and burrowed into the Lord of Light's body.
Boom.
At this moment, the Lord of Light was the very core of heaven and earth.
Brilliant radiance illuminated heaven and earth.
A full-power burst.
The dazzling light seared heaven and earth.
All figures enveloped by the radiance were frozen in place, their Great Daos and physical bodies slowly dissolving.
"Die."
The Heavenly Mandate of Heaven and Earth.
With a single word, myriad Daos followed.
Rumble.
It seemed all Daos in heaven and earth were obeying the Lord of Light's command.
Those figures were dissolving at a visible rate.
"Roar."
The Dragon King roared, bellowing madly.
The strongest physique in the world was already covered in wounds.
Dragon, Lord of Chaos.
The Dragon King had gone mad.
The Chaos race was perishing continuously.
Not one by one, but in swathes, they were dissolving.
For the Dragon King, whose responsibility was to expand the Chaos race, this was unacceptable.
There were too few chaotic beasts, having been enslaved by humankind for too long.
He was unwilling.
"Explode for me."
Boom.
The True Spirit of Chaos condensed by the Dragon King exploded directly.
This was the foundation of the Dragon King's attainment, yet he detonated it without hesitation.
In everyone's ears, it seemed a mournful cry was heard.
It was the cry of a Dao Spirit.
An unparalleled destructive aura swept heaven and earth, blasting apart the boundless light.
"I'll kill you!" the Dragon King roared, driven to madness.
The Chaos race, painstakingly gathered over the years, was instantly decimated by the countless.
Furthermore, this light aura was spreading towards the Thunder Domain, the root of the Chaos race.
He had fought desperately.
A destructive storm swept heaven and earth, and his figure charged towards the Lord of Light with resolute determination.
"Dragon King."
From behind, the Phoenix Mistress and other chaotic beasts followed closely.
Caw.
The Phoenix Mistress's cry shook the world.
Behind the Phoenix Mistress, a much larger phoenix appeared.
"Ancestor?"
The Phoenix Mistress was startled.
The first eight-tier being of the Dragon-Phoenix Domain, Ancestor Phoenix.
Years ago, Ancestor Phoenix had perished without a trace, causing turmoil throughout the Phoenix Domain.
Ultimately, the Dragon King rose to prominence, protecting the Dragon-Phoenix Domain with the Chaos race, establishing dominance over the world.
The Phoenix Mistress did not understand why Ancestor Phoenix's battle soul had appeared within her.
Boom.
There was no answer.
The massive phoenix phantom directly merged into the Phoenix Mistress's body.
The Phoenix Mistress's aura instantly soared.
At this moment, she could even rival the Dragon King in power.
Within her, the Dao Spirit instantly appeared.
"Roar."
The Dragon King roared, "Senior Phoenix has become the Dao Spirit, Phoenix Mistress, explode him."
He had gone mad.
Without explaining the cause or effect, only a command.
This battle concerned the survival of the Chaos race.
His voice was cold and ruthless.
However, the Phoenix Mistress did not hesitate.
"Explode."
The newly condensed Spirit of Chaos exploded directly.
"Chen Fan."
The Dragon King roared, "The rest is up to you."
The Dragon King was never a reckless individual.
As the last leader of the Chaos race, he carried the hopes and wisdom of all chaotic beasts.
He was willing to gamble, to stake everything, to fight for a future for his race.
"All Chaos race members, self-destruct and give me your power." The Dragon King was terrifyingly ruthless.
"Explode."
The Demon Butterfly commanded.
Boom.
After speaking, she was the first to choose self-destruction.
The Phoenix Mistress was the second...
Rumble.
All chaotic beasts self-destructed.
Whether Great Emperors or Heavenly Emperors, all self-destructed.
In an instant, only the Dragon King remained in heaven and earth.
"Swallow."
He swallowed all his kin's blood, energy, and essence in one gulp.
His dragon body stretched for a million li, roaring and shaking the world, "Freeze for me..."
Boom.
The colossal dragon body abruptly halted in the sky.
The Dragon King had sealed himself.
Simultaneously, he sealed the Lord of Light's body in the sky.
At this moment, heaven and earth fell silent.
