The battle was collapsing.
It truly couldn’t hold any longer.
The enemy was too strong, every moment a torment.
“I’m sorry!” The Supreme Immortal Venerable’s face was etched with self-blame.
Boom!!!
Before his death.
He chose the most magnificent way to go.
With his self-destruction came a dazzling display of fireworks.
Like an immortal flower blooming, the explosive immortal might swept across all directions, purging everything within the six realms.
“Bad luck!” The Second Heavenly Dao sustained a minor injury. Though it healed quickly, it would still cost considerable effort.
The First Heavenly Dao focused all its strength on suppressing the World Tree, roaring, “Stop wasting words, hurry to the Great Sun and shatter Qin Li’s shadow to stop him from reaching the Other Shore!”
The World Tree, now desperate, seized the chance and hurled the Heaven-Defying Immortal Sword.
This self-sacrificial tactic caught everyone off guard.
“Brother! Please!”
Boom!!!
Another earth-shattering explosion rang out.
Qin Nitian also chose self-destruction.
This unparalleled immortal sword with sixty apertures.
Vanished just like that, turning into a grand spectacle.
It was as if a swordsmanship immortal flower bloomed, weaving all mysteries in an instant.
Its power was ferocious, slightly fiercer than the Supreme Immortal Venerable’s self-destruction, flattening dozens of great worlds.
Now, the heavens.
Held no trace of life.
The clash between the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao was destruction itself.
Coupled with the epoch’s reboot, the heavens crumbled, and stars fell.
On the desolate withered continent, there was no life, only endless darkness.
“Come on!”
The World Tree taunted hysterically:
“If you’ve got the guts, kill me! Why are you running?”
“Could it be that two great Heavenly Daos fear me alone?”
Standing amidst the ruined world, his frenzy was his final defiance.
“You pitiful worm!” The First and Second Heavenly Daos, having endured two consecutive self-destructions, were already injured. Now, their fury intensified.
Who says the Heavenly Dao is lofty and emotionless? Three epochs of plotting undone by a mere mortal ignited boundless rage, now fully unleashed.
“Great Dao, I’ll make your death swift!”
The First and Second Heavenly Daos suddenly vanished.
The World Tree wanted to pursue.
But found no sword in hand.
So he snapped off his left arm.
The limb transformed into a gilded immortal branch, serving as a substitute sword.
“Is that all?” The Heavenly Dao’s mocking voice dripped with scorn.
In mere moments, the First and Second Heavenly Daos merged into one.
“You restrained us before, but now you’ve no chance left!” The new Heavenly Dao’s coldness was absolute, its terrifying power chilling to the bone.
Boom!!!
A single punch descended.
Matter annihilated, primal energy returned to the void.
The sheer force shattered over a dozen great worlds.
The World Tree tried to resist, but in the face of death, he was too frail.
He was blasted billions of miles away, the Great Dao across heaven and earth snapping entirely. The ripples of destruction shattered his body.
Only a head remained.
One punch, and only his head was left.
“So strong! How can it be this powerful?”
The World Tree gave a faint smile, his lone head on the verge of destruction.
“Pitiful worm!”
The new Heavenly Dao stomped down.
Its foot pressed on the head, grinding slowly.
This was an insult, a torment, a display of dominance.
The World Tree raged, “Even if I use my teeth to clamp your heel, I’ll stall you to help Qin Li…”
Crack!
With a sharp sound.
The World Tree’s struggle ceased.
The heavens fell into a deathly silence, devoid of all life.
“Let’s go up quickly, it shouldn’t take much time!” The new Heavenly Dao departed.
It didn’t possess “The Only Flaw” and couldn’t teleport instantly, but its speed was so terrifying it would soon reach the Great Sun.
At this moment!
At time’s end.
The primordial spirits of all beings were frantic.
To be stuck at the very last step.
The Other Shore Immortal Vessel teetered on the brink of collapse, hanging by a thread.
“Don’t panic!”
“Supreme Immortal Cannon!”
Qin Li gritted his teeth until they nearly shattered.
Mimicking the Supreme Immortal Robe, he unleashed a full-force blast.
It was as if all beings across history roared, their strongest will converging into the mightiest cannon shot.
Yet, the dimensional wall stood unyielding, merely rippling with waves, showing no cracks.
“Damn it!”
Qin Li roared to the heavens.
So close, just the final step.
“Why haven’t you arrived yet?”
Three voices rang out—the Immortal Emperor, the Divine Emperor, and the Heavenly Emperor.
A sinking feeling gripped everyone, “You’ve all died too, doesn’t that mean…”
Looking back!
Gazing at the River of Time.
The once-straight channel began to twist.
The past held no living beings, signifying the end of everything.
The entire River of Time was collapsing; soon, they wouldn’t even touch the wall.
“What do we do? What can we do?”
“Open, damn you!”
All beings went mad.
Pounding the wall with all their might.
But it was futile, merely venting frustration.
Baili Jian quickly understood the dimensional wall, explaining:
“This wall is the embodiment of macroscopic laws. In all the heavens, only one method can touch those laws!”
Qin Li realised, clenching his teeth, “But I’m not confident.”
“And I’ve no sword in hand!”
His friends and allies shouted:
“We are the sword in your hand!”
More and more wills converged, forming the Sword of All Beings.
Resolute, Qin Li gripped the Sword of All Beings, preparing to merge One Sword, One World and One Sword Breaks All Laws, transcending immortal techniques.
Even the mere fusion of two swords had brushed macroscopic laws—imagine a true fusion into one sword, piercing life and death, tearing through the dimensional barrier.
However.
As Qin Li’s sword intent stirred.
The Sword of All Beings split into two streams.
Like branching twigs, showing he hadn’t fused them.
“Fuse it already! Why can’t it fuse? Chaos blurs the beginning and end!”
Qin Li was nearly driven to despair, his mind racing, but he found no clue, no spark for fusion.
How could two supreme fantasies merge so easily?
“Don’t rush!”
A familiar voice called out.
The World Tree arrived, aiding Qin Li.
“Relax, this sword isn’t just yours to swing.”
“Everyone, all beings across history, are with you, swinging this sword together!”
Qin Li calmed his heart, sensing the charm of the Great Dao and the will of all powerful beings, breathing as one with them.
His mind cleared like a mirror, seeking a solution.
To merge two fantasies, he needed a common thread.
Ideally, a reference point for quick fusion—what could be grand enough to span beginning and end?
“Right!”
Qin Li spun around.
Staring at the collapsing River of Time.
The joy on his face couldn’t be contained.
“The unity of two sword fantasies—isn’t that the River of Time itself?”
This majestic river, threading life and death, bore countless beings, birthing all epics and greatness—nothing in existence surpassed it.
“Two Swords as One, Time Flows Back!”
With a thought.
The forked Sword of All Beings united.
Gathering the will of beings across history, he slashed.
Then!
Nothing happened.
The world barrier stood unbroken.
Even Dugu Laomo nearly wept in frustration, shouting:
“Qin lad, what’s gone wrong now?”
“Don’t panic, wait a moment!”
Qin Li sheathed his sword.
Glancing aside, he smiled faintly.
The River of Time, on the verge of collapse, churned with countless waves.
It converged into an unimaginable reverse-tsunami, surging back with unstoppable force, amassing the power of eons, beyond comprehension.
“Quick, dodge!” Qin Li steered the immortal sword, hiding in the wave’s tail.
Boom!!!!
An unthinkable roar.
The Other Shore Immortal Vessel shattered from the shock.
This tsunami, equivalent to the full might of the heavens across all time, was so terrifying it could instantly annihilate the cosmos and three thousand worlds.
Even the dimensional wall rippled wildly, twisting until a narrow crack finally appeared.
A gateway.
Peering through.
They glimpsed boundless beauty.
Where all wishes could be fulfilled, all calamities repelled.
“The Other Shore!”
“The Other Shore! The Other Shore!”
Qin Li, overwhelmed with excitement, crossed the portal.
At last, bearing the will of all beings, he broke free from the shackles of macroscopic laws.
But!
He didn’t reach the Other Shore.
Instead, he arrived at a boundless ocean shrouded in chaos.
The Other Shore lay ahead, unmoving, growing more beautiful the closer he got.
Qin Li could no longer contain his joy, tears streaming as he choked, “Do you see it? A beauty that doesn’t exist in this world.”
“It’s great transcendence, great freedom, great infinity, great auspiciousness, with limitless possibilities, able to bear all dreams. We’re almost there, about to escape this cursed cycle and reach the world of unity.”
Crack!
A sharp snap.
It came too suddenly.
The Sword of All Beings began to fracture.
The wills of countless beings slowly faded.
“What’s happening? Why are your primordial spirits extinguishing?”
“We still need to go on!” Qin Li tried desperately to protect them, but it was futile.
The World Tree, pensive, smiled, “It seems only you can go. We can’t follow you across.”
