At this moment, within and outside the Nine Heavens.
Whether it was the Forbidden Land or the Divine Ruins, countless eyes were fixated on the Seventh Heaven.
Ancient entities that had survived countless years were stirring, their expressions extremely grave.
Above the Nine Heavens.
Including the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, five Celestial Lords held their breath simultaneously.
Everyone knew that the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was incredibly powerful; otherwise, no one would dare to defy the rules set by the laws he commanded.
Now, it would soon be revealed just how strong the Great Sage truly was.
The Celestial Lords were genuinely excited.
The Reincarnation Celestial Lord thought to himself that if he truly had a grudge against Lu Ye, he could defy the Great Sage’s laws and force his way down to slay Lu Ye.
But that was just in his imagination.
If the Reincarnation Celestial Lord really attempted such a thing, it might actually turn out to be a blessing.
However, Lu Ye had no clue just how powerful the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was.
The Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor looked as pale as ghosts. “You should be fighting the Dark Origin God!”
Or at least let us help you fight the Dark Origin God! What do you even mean by this?
You want to take us all down together?
This is reckless!
“Great Sage, we are not your enemies! We can help you fight the Dark Origin God, please don’t act impulsively!” the Demon Ancestor shouted urgently.
The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens remained expressionless.
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was trembling.
No…
Great Sage…
Whether the Demon Ancestor and the Darkness Celestial Lord could withstand the Great Sage’s assault was uncertain, but it was clear that he couldn’t.
Why would the Great Sage target the Darkness Origin?
He shouldn’t be attacking the Darkness Origin!
This is bad, everything is going wrong!
In that moment, the four Great Sages of the Nine Heavens simultaneously raised their palms, three fingers bent, with one finger held high.
“Whoosh!”
All powers within the Nine Heavens surged at once, siphoning Spiritual Energy from many locations.
The Heavenly Spiritual Energy rapidly condensed, collapsed, gathered, and continued to collapse.
Transformation, transformation, transformation.
Endless evolution unfolded.
Massive amounts of Heavenly Spiritual Energy gathered above the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens as he faced the Dark Origin God.
The other three received their shares, with the Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor equal, while the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord received the least.
Numerous cultivators felt the Heavenly Spiritual Energy around them suddenly vanish, as if it had never existed; even their cultivated True Essence was swiftly being drained away.
The world was undergoing dramatic changes.
It felt like the arrival of an apocalyptic era.
Lu Ye sensed his Primordial Force within gently trembling, as if it might fly out of his body towards the Great Sage at any moment.
Is this the power of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens?
One should know that the last moment of the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s ascension hadn’t created such a commotion.
Now, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens became the very center of the world, like a colossal black hole devouring everything around him.
Massive stars were collapsing into fierce winds, for all Spiritual Energy had been siphoned away.
The Dark Origin God let out a furious roar.
“It’s just a law! Nine Heavens, do you really think you’re invincible!”
Following his roar, his form abruptly morphed into a massive black insect, covered in thick armor, as eight sharp claws tore the void apart.
The Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor simultaneously unleashed their strongest techniques.
“Ancient Demon Body!”
The Demon Ancestor roared, his body swelling as his essence burned, muscles aligning in perfect arrangement, covered in demonic patterns.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner transformed into black light, a bone resembling a scepter flashing with intricate patterns after being infused with the banner.
A black-red mud print, seemingly forged from blood mixed with flesh, also merged into the bone scepter.
Lastly, there was a map of mountains, towering peaks resembling dragon spines.
Yet, upon closer inspection, the mountain ranges represented various paths—the combined myriad paths forged this grand scenic view.
The mountain ranges merged into the bone scepter.
Blood, flesh, soul, bone, Dao!
The Demon Ancestor truly was the ancestor of the demonic cultivators; many demonic cultivators specialized in one type of resource, be it soul, blood, or even extracting from the Dao…
Well, here comes the Demon Ancestor, mastering everything!
The Demon Ancestor roared again, muscles tightened to the extreme as he raised the bone scepter, exuding an unparalleled aura.
The Darkness Celestial Lord waved his hand, and in that moment, the Nine Heavens were plunged into complete darkness.
All manners of fear from the darkness surged towards the Darkness Celestial Lord like a tidal wave.
The darkness of humanity, the darkness of nature.
Rumble…
In that moment, even the sound of the River of Time echoed, breaths continuously flooding out from within.
All darkness condensed into the Darkness Celestial Lord’s palms, forming a black sun.
This blackness was the epitome of dark.
It could swallow all light in existence.
“Ultimate Darkness!”
The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord, upon seeing this, also assumed the true posture of a Celestial Lord.
“Fallen Heaven Seal!”
Waves of light and shadow spread, weaving together a massive world where countless figures were caught in the endless cycle of degradation.
Laziness, greed, addiction, lust…
Countless negative emotions filled the entire grand world.
A dazzling array of colors emitted a strong sense of discomfort.
The world transformed into a massive seal, crashing down towards the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.
This was the true pinnacle assault from the three Celestial Lords, even reaching the brink of living or dying.
This was their strongest and most secretive technique.
The three Great Sages of the Nine Heavens appeared calm, even cold.
They extended their fingers simultaneously.
One finger could stir the heavens.
In the eyes of the three Celestial Lords, what they faced wasn’t merely a finger but an entire world.
A world they had dreamed of achieving, for it was only by consolidating a true world that one can step into the realm of Saints.
The three Celestial Lords watched as the finger approached.
Even though their released attacks were tremendously powerful, each a source of pride for themselves,
they could still feel a profound sense of helplessness from the depths of their hearts.
“Boom!”
The bone scepter shattered into countless cracks, turning to dust in the next moment.
The Demon Ancestor transformed into a bolt of crimson light, shot back.
He broke through layer upon layer of space, exploding through chaos, traveling at a speed invisible to the naked eye, shattering the barrier of the Nine Heavens, and bursting out of the domain, crashing into the barrier of the heavens and earth, leaving behind a blood mark.
The black sun released by the Darkness Celestial Lord exploded, along with his body, turning into night.
Yet that night was swept away by a fierce wind, torn apart, becoming a chaotic mess as it was blown far away.
It looked like night but resembled shredded paper in a shredder, completely in disarray.
Finally came the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.
The finger of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens shattered the seal, penetrating deeply, unstoppable.
It landed directly on his forehead.
