The great sun shattered, the ancient tree splintered.
This was the Evil Lord's strike.
Did the figure of the Fusang Dao Master within the great sun also disintegrate into the heavens and earth along with the sun?
From afar...
"Hmm?"
A flicker of doubt crossed the eyes that pierced through the void like a divine rainbow.
The Fusang Dao Master was killed in one blow.
Was it possible?
Not possible.
Then there was only one possibility: the Fusang Dao Master was not in Fusang Valley at all.
"But..."
A deep confusion flashed in the rainbow-like eyes: "Where did the person go?"
After all, Dao Masters like them rarely left their own territories.
Take the Corpse King for example; he had not left the ruins since his resurrection from within them.
Wandering through the chaos, except for the Yitian Dao Master in the Eighth Land who was gambling with heaven and earth, most would not leave their lairs.
Unless there was a matter.
Even if they left for a reason, as Ninth Rank powerhouses, they would not do so stealthily.
The Fusang Dao Master was clearly not in Fusang Valley, yet he left a false body. What was the meaning of this?
The rainbow eyes rippled with profound confusion.
...
At the same time.
At the very moment the Evil Lord shattered the great sun and the ancient Fusang tree.
The Ninth Rank powerhouse who was suppressing the Mountain Master suddenly trembled.
He sensed the death of his clone.
"Haha."
The Mountain Master opposite clearly felt the tremor in his opponent's aura.
Laughter immediately erupted: "I know who you are, Fusang, haha... you are Fusang from the Sixth Land. You scum, to have lurked so deeply in my Lower Ten Lands."
With the knowledge of a Ninth Rank powerhouse, even a slight exhalation of aura could be perceived.
He recognized the identity of the Fusang Dao Master.
*Chi.*
Black light crisscrossed, falling upon the Mountain Master, tearing open gaping wounds.
The Mountain Master at this moment was in his stone ox form. The falling stones, like flesh and blood, carried the remnants of the Great Dao and wisps of bloodstains.
"Haha."
The Mountain Master continued to laugh heartily.
His body was covered in numerous wounds, dense like shattered glass.
But he did not care.
Mere injuries, as long as they were not Dao wounds, he did not mind.
"Fusang."
The Mountain Master's voice boomed like muffled thunder: "I never expected you to be scum from the Upper Nine Heavens as well. At this point, is there still a need to hide? Come forth, reveal your true form, and let me see how you, a Great Sun Dao practitioner, can employ a hidden path, haha..."
The Fusang Dao Master's path was that of the great sun hanging in the sky. When the great sun appeared, evil spirits were subdued.
He did not tread the path of the Two Extremes, but had pushed the Great Sun path to its limit.
Yet, a powerhouse who walked the path of the great sun, used a hidden path that was the opposite of the great sun.
A satire, a grand satire.
"Fusang."
Seeing the other party remain silent, the Mountain Master continued to exert pressure with his voice: "At this point, do you still want to waste time? Your lair has been dug out..."
Yes, the Mountain Master had guessed.
How could a Ninth Rank supreme powerhouse, while still having the upper hand in combat, reveal such a flaw?
Those who reached Ninth Rank would have some form of premonition.
The Mountain Master had guessed correctly.
Something must have happened at the Fusang Dao Master's base, otherwise this situation would not have arisen.
On the other side... the Fusang Dao Master, who had previously concealed his aura exceptionally well, sighed in helplessness.
"Alas."
This sigh carried a deep sense of unwillingness.
How could he be willing?
He had lurked in the Lower Ten Lands for countless years, and his traces were revealed as the million kalpas approached.
Truly unwilling.
But matters had come to this, and there was nothing he could do.
*Weng.*
The aura of darkness began to shed like a molting silkworm.
A resplendent and ethereal great sun bloomed in the chaos, its majestic aura like the first ray of divine light from the dawn of creation.
The blazing great sun appeared, illuminating the eternal heavens.
The Ninth Rank Great Dao, the Ninth Rank Great Sun.
With but a single great sun, the chaos was continuously shattering under its pressure.
He had revealed his true form.
"Such a waste."
A familiar face appeared in everyone's sight.
The Fusang Dao Master was actually an exceptionally handsome man. His sigh spread: "Years of lurking, exposed in a single day."
Very helpless.
The Fusang Dao Master's gaze fell upon the Dark Lord.
The word "waste" was directed at the Dark Lord.
Dark Lord: "..."
The Fusang Dao Master's words were harsh, but they were the truth.
If it were not for his exposure, they would have been the greatest beneficiaries once the million kalpas arrived.
Years of lurking were naturally for the sake of harvest.
In the eyes of the powerhouses of the Upper Nine Heavens, the Lower Ten Lands were a treasure trove, the source of their harvest.
All their gains would be completely extracted on the day the million kalpas arrived.
Then, upon their return to the Upper Nine Heavens, their status would leap forward significantly compared to before.
Alas... the dream was shattered in a single day.
"Stop the nonsense."
The Dark Lord's expression was grim: "Let's kill. If we can completely refine the Seventh Land, we can make up for some of the losses."
With those words spoken, the expressions of both the Cloud Sea Dao Master and the Mountain Master changed.
The Dark Lord actually intended to completely refine the Seventh Land.
"Good heavens."
From the shadows, Chen Fan exclaimed: "So ruthless. To refine an entire land."
This was an undertaking of immense scale.
"Hmph."
The Dragon King beside him snorted coldly: "He thinks too highly of himself."
The Dark Lord had his plans, but someone disagreed.
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly spoke: "Prepare to make your move."
"Heh."
Old Demon Chu, who was beside him, could no longer wait.
Not only him, but Immortal Emperor and others had long been anticipating a great battle.
Though they could not participate in the main battlefield, they wished to engage in combat at the Great Emperor realm.
That was their battlefield.
At a certain moment...
"Make your move, kill the other mysterious person," Chen Fan roared.
The Dark Lord and Fusang were not their targets. That other person was.
The Cloud Sea Dao Master was formidable, fighting his opponent to a standstill.
*Boom.*
Boundless sword seas converged.
Sword intent surged like a tide, pouring down like rain, and with a 'boom,' it enveloped this entire world.
One sword, cleaving the heavens.
The massive sword light illuminated the heavens and earth, locking onto the Cloud Sea Dao Master's opponent.
"Haha."
The Cloud Sea roared with laughter.
He had long awaited this moment.
Chen Fan and the others' presence was something he had known for a long time.
The Dark Lord was also aware, but he did not know that the battle on Yin Si Dao Master's side had already concluded.
Therefore...
The Cloud Sea Dao Master instantly concealed the heavenly secrets, and a sea of clouds and mist gathered, enveloping his opponent.
The sword light, unmatched, instantly sliced into the mist.
"Hmm?"
The intense killing intent caused the mysterious powerhouse's expression to stiffen.
He then sneered: "A mere Eighth Rank..."
*Bang.*
His words could not be finished.
The surging sword light instantly tore through the seal of the hidden path.
"Pfft."
Blood spurted.
The mysterious powerhouse was severed by a single sword. This sword was too sharp... unstoppable.
"How is this possible?" the mysterious powerhouse was horrified.
In his shock, his figure rapidly retreated.
"Roar."
Dragon roars shattered heaven and earth.
A golden dragon stretched across the highest point of the firmament, its immense body filling this world.
The dragon's roar shook the chaos, reverberating through the mysterious powerhouse's Dao energy, making it difficult for him to maintain his footing.
"Kill."
The Dragon King's killing intent surged.
The fifth claw on its abdomen tore through the sky.
The terrifying killing intent directly shattered the mysterious powerhouse's physical body, and his Dao began to waver.
"Heavenly secrets scatter."
The Cloud Sea Dao Master made his move.
