The great battle has begun.
This is the final battle.
It concerns the fate of the heavens and the direction of the grand trend.
Whether all things will wither or the world will flourish depends on this battle.
“Kill!”
The Mother of Pain strikes first.
She unleashes a torrent of Heavenly Dao black threads.
Dense and sharp, they pierce through all directions.
What was once a void of darkness instantly transforms into a terrifying ghostly realm, filled with overwhelming despair.
“Don’t scatter, or we’ll be picked off one by one!” Qin Li unleashes his full power, completely shedding the constraints of form, transforming into an immortal shadow, his body interwoven with the patterns of the Great Dao, reflecting the scenery of eight hundred worlds.
With a wave of his hand, the power of the Great Dao manifests as a World Tree, the most invincible shield in existence, blocking the Heavenly Dao black threads.
“No need for the Dao Ancestor to intervene, we can hold them off!” Lingtai Guanzhu and Wugong Shanjun erupt with power, their strength soaring beyond the Supreme level, capable of resonating with the three thousand Great Daos.
They summon the Lingtai Temple and Wugong Mountain, surpassing their limits, transforming these treasures into a martial world and a divine world, reflecting the scenes of the First and Second Epochs, also capable of blocking the Heavenly Dao black threads.
This battle.
Is not just about the Third Epoch.
It also carries the hopes and aspirations of the Body Refinement and Spirit Refinement civilizations.
“A bunch of traitors! If it weren’t for me, you would have perished long ago. Now you dare raise your blades against me,” the Heavenly Dao rages.
The Mother of Pain doesn’t hold back either, wielding the Ancient Burial Hell Spear, a world-destroying immortal artifact entwined with the Dao of Death. With a single sweep, it extends layers of dimensional spaces, transforming into an endless netherworld.
“We’ll hold them off!”
The trio of Immortal Emperor, God Emperor, and Heavenly Emperor spring into action.
Nourished by the Great Dao Immortal Fruits, they too have surpassed the Supreme level.
Baili Jian merges with the Peach Immortal Tree, drawing a nine-colored immortal sword; Li Ping’an entwines with the Gourd Divine Vine, unsheathing the Heaven-Slaying Blade; the Heavenly Emperor wields the Immortal Nation Green Lotus, controlling the Time Immortal Pagoda and the Mysterious Feminine Gate.
“One sword, one world!”
“Divine Dao Slays Heaven!”
“Time-Space Millstone!”
Three immortal techniques are unleashed simultaneously.
A single sword strike cleaves through thirty-three heavens, vast and mighty, crushing all in its path.
A single blade strike brings forth the glory of the Divine Dao Epoch, seeking to rend the heavens and earth, rewrite history, and defy fate.
Two immortal artifacts soar, surpassing their limits, transforming into the Dao of Time and the Dao of Space, merging into a long river, distinct yet unified, like a millstone grinding all matter and energy to dust.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
These three techniques are ferocious.
Triggering a series of massive explosions.
Though they don’t harm the Mother of Pain, they buy time.
“You’ve done well!”
“Stellar Radiance!”
Qin Li seizes the opportunity, launching a powerful attack.
His arms move like a tai chi master, drawing circles of annual rings, interweaving and reflecting.
This is the “Stellar Radiance Infinite Annual Rings Creation Immortal Array,” which created the thirty-three heavens, the three thousand stars, and the myriad worlds.
Due to time constraints, Qin Li only created a scaled-down version, but its power is not diminished, unleashing unimaginable starlight that illuminates the eight directions.
With a clenched fist, he condenses a hundred stars, a scene so grand it leaves the five Supreme Beings dumbfounded. Then he strikes, tearing through the darkness, slamming into the Mother of Pain.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…
The sounds of destruction are relentless.
In the dark Guixu, it’s as if a hundred suns have suddenly ignited.
On the myriad worlds, the heroes who were watching the battle are instantly blinded by the light.
Such world-destroying power could annihilate even a Supreme Being.
But when the explosions fade.
The Mother of Pain is unharmed.
“Haha!”
The Heavenly Dao is ecstatic:
“Don’t underestimate the Guixu Battle Armor!”
“It’s the absolute defense formed from the fears of all living beings.”
The Mother of Pain wears a suit of black crystal armor, engraved with Heavenly Dao patterns, interwoven with fifty-nine artifact apertures, flowing with despair, as if trapping billions of innocent souls, wailing in agony.
“Great Dao, now it’s my turn!”
“Dusk Fall Drum!”
After enduring the bombardment.
The Mother of Pain wields a yellow-orange drum, ancient and filled with the origin of sin.
She raises a bone drumstick, striking the drum, creating a scene of dusk that floods millions of miles, accompanied by an evil chant:
“Your skull is my holy grail; your blood is my fine wine; your ideals are my fireworks; your truths are my slaves; your efforts are my jokes; your death is my hymn…”
Instantly!
The five Supreme Beings are disoriented.
The evil chant invades their minds, erasing their immortal patterns.
This is a vicious attack on the soul.
“Insects daring to defy heaven!”
“Die!”
The Mother of Pain sneers.
She thrusts the Ancient Burial Hell Spear five times.
The spear is like a dragon of death, in an instant, it threatens to tear apart the five Supreme Beings.
Infused with the power of the Heavenly Dao, its edge is invincible, flowing with darkness, capable of severing immortal roots and shattering the Wugong Mountain and Lingtai Temple.
“Not so fast!”
Qin Li intervenes in time.
Immortal light radiates, surging with the power of the Great Dao.
It transforms into a World Tree, like a pillar of heaven, blocking the deathly spear.
“I’ve been waiting for you, finally took the bait!”
“World Annihilation Banner!”
The Mother of Pain has three heads and six arms.
Each hand wields a different destruction artifact.
The Dusk Fall Drum restrains the five Supreme Beings, the Ancient Burial Hell Spear blocks the World Tree.
The final artifact is a black banner, depicting the terrifying scenes of the heavens’ fall, capable of annihilating all existence. This is her ultimate weapon.
She swiftly activates it, catching Qin Li off guard, wrapping him in the banner.
“Haha, it seems I’m still one step ahead.”
“I told you, the grand trend is irreversible.”
The Heavenly Dao laughs maniacally.
At this moment.
The five Supreme Beings regain their senses.
Their faces pale, their bodies trembling.
“Don’t worry, the Dao Ancestor won’t die so easily.”
The Heavenly Dao sneers, “My Annihilation Banner can grind even the Great Dao to dust. Qin Li can’t escape, he’ll be slowly worn down to death.”
“As for you, you’ll die first!”
The Mother of Pain attacks.
The Ancient Burial Hell Spear’s killing intent is boundless.
No need for any divine techniques, just pure destruction.
“Not good! Run!” Wugong Shanjun, terrified, summons the Wugong Immortal Mountain.
Clang!
A deafening roar.
Like a million bronze bells ringing at once.
The chaotic immortal mountain is severely damaged.
The Ancient Burial Hell Spear pierces through the mountain, leaving a ghastly hole.
This is Wugong Shanjun’s true form, causing his chaotic divine form to collapse, leaving him powerless.
“Quick, save him!” The other four Supreme Beings rush to help.
“Scram!”
The Mother of Pain strikes the drum.
The five Supreme Beings are completely disoriented.
They are like lambs to the slaughter, with no chance to fight back.
At this moment!
In the Qiankun World.
On the Other Shore Immortal Ship, heroes gather.
A group of True Emperors work together to create a Divine Mirror of Observation.
Thus, they can glimpse the battlefield in the Guixu, witnessing the plight of the five Supreme Beings.
“Disaster!”
“The Emperor is in danger!”
“Is the defiance of heaven coming to an end?”
Everyone’s faces are grim, their hearts half-frozen.
If this battle is lost, everything will face ultimate destruction.
The Lonely Demon’s brow furrows in shock, “Look, the World Annihilation Banner seems to be moving!”
Everyone quickly turns their gaze.
Hum—
A sword’s hum echoes through the heavens.
Like the roar of a hundred thousand holy dragons.
The Mother of Pain pauses, halting her killing intent.
The five Supreme Beings catch their breath, staring in shock at the Annihilation Banner.
“One sword breaks all laws!”
Qin Li’s voice resounds, shaking the universe.
Rip—
On the black banner.
A small tear appears.
It grows, releasing the light of the Great Dao.
In an instant, the banner is torn to shreds, completely destroyed.
A sword-like immortal sun rises, its boundless radiance transforming into countless sword lights, severing the traces of the Dao between heaven and earth, extremely vicious.
“Impossible! Your immortal sword shouldn’t be able to cut through the World Annihilation Banner!” The Mother of Pain, bathed in the sword light, evaporates black mist, her agony increasing.
“Because the immortal sword is greater than before!” Qin Nitian’s voice emerges from the Taichu Immortal Sword.
If one counts carefully, the sword now has sixty apertures, one more than before, but its power has risen to a new level, subtly aligning with the sixty cycles of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the ultimate number.
This is perfection beyond perfection, the undisputed pinnacle of artifact forging, the foremost sword.
Moreover, with Qin Nitian becoming the sword spirit, the sixty apertures flow with the light of the Great Dao, seemingly gaining sentience, endlessly transforming.
“Perhaps it should no longer be called Taichu, but the Defiant Heaven Immortal Sword!”
