Emperor Cang had never expected something like this to happen. When True Lord Zhifa Chiyuan self-destructed, he had not even reacted yet.
Where had that sound come from? It was so loud.
By the time he did react, and Yellow Heaven's aura began plummeting at a terrifying speed, his confusion had turned into shock—and deep incomprehension.
No, why?
The Yellow Heaven avatar had never been your match. It had only gone in intending to hold you back first. It was not as though you had never fought before, so why had things changed this time?
Could you not afford to lose?
If you could not afford to lose, you should have said so earlier!
Emperor Cang simply could not understand it. An Immortal Bridge Great True Lord—how much effort and painstaking cultivation had it taken to reach this point? Why would he self-destruct while holding the advantage?
At that moment, every cultivator in the ghost domain of Mount Bozhong—whether Golden Core, Foundation Establishment, or Qi Refining—saw a sun slowly rise. Terrifying ripples surged and boiled across the heavens, blotting out everyone's sight. Yet this was not the end. It was only the beginning.
Boom.
A second self-destruction!
This time, it was Lu Yang. A scroll suddenly appeared in his hand and slowly unfurled, revealing within the painting a palace gate with six open corners.
[Dao-Seeking Heavenly Gate Diagram]!
Within the diagram, the young Martial General transformed from the artifact spirit Heaven's Gatekeeper wore a steadfast expression. His eyes fixed on Emperor Cang, filled with ferocity and resolve, as he fully cooperated with Lu Yang's dharma power.
It self-destructed as well!
And unlike last time, when it had been only half-crippled, this time it truly held nothing back. Every last essence of this supreme treasure was ignited, bursting into radiant brilliance!
