The pressure of "dominating everything" descended like the Heavenly Dao collapsing, instantly enveloping every domain of the Myriad Daos. The Space Barriers at the edges of the Myriad Daos crumbled inch by inch, and a figure clad in a purple-gold imperial robe slowly emerged—it was none other than the Ultimate Sovereign behind all the threats. The Power of Fusion surrounding him contained life and death, eternity, chaos, and alteration. His gaze was icy, as if he regarded all living beings of the Myriad Daos as mere ants.
"Xuan Fu, after enduring countless tribulations, you've finally grown enough to become my stepping stone." The Ultimate Sovereign's voice carried unquestionable authority. With a wave of his hand, countless Fusion Runes surged from his palm. Wherever they passed, the Life and Death Cycle ground to a halt, eternal laws twisted, chaotic energy was tamed, and the Power of Alteration submitted. All the power of the Myriad Daos was being forcibly unified.
Xuan Fu's Power of Life and Death of Balance trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared across the purple-gold crystal of his runic body. He could clearly feel that the Ultimate Sovereign's power far exceeded the combined strength of all his previous enemies. He did not intend to destroy any domain. Instead, he wanted to bring all power under his control, turning the Myriad Daos and even all the realms into his vassals.
"Ultimate Sovereign, every living being of the Myriad Daos has its own path. Why insist on forcibly unifying everything?" Xuan Fu burned the Heart of Myriad Daos and the Balance Origin. The Life-Annihilation Balance Talisman and the Primordial Chaos Limitless Talisman fused together, forming a "Myriad Dao Freedom Talisman." Its surface was covered in the imprints of every living being's convictions. "If you insist on this path, then I'll lead all living beings of the Myriad Daos in fighting you to the bitter end!"
"Freedom? That's nothing but an excuse for the weak." The Ultimate Sovereign gave a cold snort. The Power of Fusion condensed into a massive "Blade of Domination" and slashed toward the Myriad Dao Freedom Talisman. Wherever the blade passed, the laws of the Myriad Daos were forcibly rewritten. The convictions of living beings began to waver, and many beings showed submissive expressions in their eyes. Clearly, they had been influenced by the Power of Domination.
Xuan Fu stood shoulder to shoulder with the Void Ancestor, the Primordial Ancestor, and the Lord of Balance. The Powers of Life and Death, the Primordial Origin, and Balance fused together with the power of the Myriad Dao Freedom Talisman, forming a massive Defensive Barrier. The instant the Blade of Domination collided with the barrier, purple-gold and seven-colored radiance annihilated each other. The tremendous Energy Shockwave shook the space of the Myriad Daos into reformation, countless Great Dao Worlds began to collapse, and the living beings fell into panic.
"Use the Myriad Daos as fuel and ignite the flame of freedom!" Xuan Fu's voice rang throughout every domain. The convictions of all living beings erupted once more. Countless beings burned their own origins and poured their strength into the barrier. The remaining resisters of the Alteration Domain, the rebels of the Eternal Domain, the awakened ones of the Realm of Chaos, and even their former enemies all joined the resistance. They might have pursued different goals, but none of them were willing to become puppets of the Ultimate Sovereign.
The flame of freedom blazed atop the barrier, contending with the Blade of Domination. Xuan Fu could feel more and more power pouring into the resistance. The radiance of the Myriad Dao Freedom Talisman grew ever brighter, and the Ultimate Sovereign's Power of Domination began to falter. But the Ultimate Sovereign's power was simply too terrifying. The Blade of Domination remained razor-sharp, the barrier's cracks widened further, and Xuan Fu's runic body was already on the verge of collapse.
"With my body, forge a shield for the Myriad Daos!" The Primordial Ancestor suddenly burned his entire origin. His golden figure transformed into a massive talisman shield and merged into the barrier. The barrier's defenses surged instantly, forcibly blocking the Blade of Domination's strike. A trace of weakness appeared in the Ultimate Sovereign's aura.
The Void Ancestor and the Lord of Balance followed suit. The Power of Life and Death and the Power of Balance transformed into two runes that coiled around the talisman shield, making the barrier even more solid. "Xuan Fu, we can buy you some time. Hurry and find the 'Myriad Realms Origin'—it's the first strand of energy from which all realms were born, hidden in the 'Origin Secret Realm' at the core of the Myriad Daos. Only with it can you resist the Ultimate Sovereign's Power of Domination!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Fu flew toward the Origin Secret Realm at the core of the Myriad Daos. The secret realm was hidden in the deepest part of the Heart of Myriad Daos, surrounded by countless ancient Guardian Runes formed from the power of the Myriad Realms Origin. He passed through the Guardian Runes and finally saw the Myriad Realms Origin—a seven-colored crystal suspended in the center of the secret realm. It radiated the ultimate rhythm of "all realms sharing one source," resonating with his Primordial Chaos power.
Just as Xuan Fu was about to take the Myriad Realms Origin, the secret realm suddenly shook violently. The Ultimate Sovereign's Power of Domination pierced through the barrier and transformed into countless runes that flew toward the Myriad Realms Origin. "You want to borrow the Myriad Realms Origin? Dream on!"
Xuan Fu had no time to hesitate. He completely fused his Talisman Path Core with the Myriad Realms Origin. The seven-colored crystal transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body. A vast power of the Myriad Realms erupted in an instant, breaking through Xuan Fu's limits and elevating him to the realm of the Myriad Realms Supreme. His runic body transformed into a seven-colored purple-gold crystal, its surface covered in Myriad Realms Runes and radiating the ultimate rhythm of "the Myriad Realms are free, and each has its own path."
"Ultimate Sovereign, your path of domination ends here!" Xuan Fu transformed into a stream of seven-colored purple-gold light and burst from the Origin Secret Realm. The power of the Myriad Realms condensed into a "Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman" and slashed toward the Ultimate Sovereign. Wherever the talisman passed, the unified powers awakened one after another, the convictions of living beings regained clarity, and the radiance of the Blade of Domination rapidly dimmed.
A trace of astonishment flashed through the Ultimate Sovereign's eyes, followed by a crazed smile. "Excellent! Now this is interesting!" He burned his own unified origin, causing the Power of Fusion to surge explosively. The Blade of Domination transformed into a massive "Domination Core" and slammed into the Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman.
The instant the two ultimate powers collided, all the realms sank into absolute silence. Seven-colored purple-gold and black-purple light devoured and transformed each other, forming an Energy Vortex that covered every realm. Countless Fusion Runes were purified, the radiance of the Domination Core gradually dimmed, and the Ultimate Sovereign's aura rapidly weakened.
Just as the Ultimate Sovereign was about to be utterly defeated, he suddenly erupted with a terrifying black-purple radiance, fusing his core with the remaining Power of Domination across all the realms. "If you want to win, then let every realm be buried with me!"
The black-purple radiance rapidly spread. The space of every realm began to collapse, energy became chaotic, and the living beings faced an unprecedented crisis. Xuan Fu's heart jolted. He knew that the Ultimate Sovereign intended to detonate his core and drag every realm into mutual destruction.
"Use the Myriad Realms as the foundation and build a realm of autonomy!" Without the slightest hesitation, Xuan Fu urged the power of the Myriad Realms Origin to its limit. The Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman transformed into a massive seven-colored purple-gold curtain of light that enclosed every realm. Countless runes danced within the curtain, repairing the collapsing space, stabilizing the chaotic energy, and protecting the living beings.
The instant the curtain of light collided with the black-purple radiance, Xuan Fu could feel his power of the Myriad Realms rapidly depleting. Cracks appeared in the seven-colored purple-gold crystal of his runic body, and the origin of the Heart of Myriad Daos began to burn as well. But he did not give up. He held the curtain of light fast, with only one conviction in his heart—to protect the freedom of all living beings across the Myriad Realms.
At this critical moment, beams of light erupted simultaneously from the Core Areas of every realm. They were the power of each realm's origin, spontaneously gathering under the guidance of the Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman and fusing with Xuan Fu's power of the Myriad Realms. The curtain of light shone ever brighter, forcibly halting the spread of the black-purple radiance. The Ultimate Sovereign's self-detonation plan was completely disrupted.
"No!" The Ultimate Sovereign let out a shrill roar of fury. His core rapidly disintegrated within the curtain of light, and the Power of Domination was thoroughly purified, ultimately transforming into a wisp of black-purple remnant soul that fled beyond the realms toward the "Unknown Void." "Xuan Fu, I'll return! When we meet again, I'll bring the power of the void and dominate everything completely!"
After the Ultimate Sovereign's remnant soul vanished, the radiance of the seven-colored purple-gold curtain of light gradually receded, and order began to return to every realm. Xuan Fu let out a sigh of relief and slowly descended. The cracks in his runic body rapidly healed under the nourishment of the Myriad Realms Origin. The living beings across the Myriad Realms cheered and celebrated their victory of freedom.
Xuan Fu reunited with the Void Ancestor, the Lord of Balance, and the others, relieved smiles appearing on their faces. But Xuan Fu did not relax in the slightest. His Spiritual Sense passed through the Realm Barriers and gazed toward the Unknown Void where the Ultimate Sovereign had fled. A strange Void Power existed there, more mysterious and terrifying than any known power. Clearly, it was the Ultimate Sovereign's final trump card.
"The Unknown Void..." Xuan Fu clenched the Myriad Realms Autonomy Talisman in his hand, his heart filled with resolve. He knew that the battle was far from over. The threat of the Ultimate Sovereign and the Unknown Void still existed, and the freedom of the Myriad Realms needed to be protected forever.
Just then, a faint yet terrifying aura came from the direction of the Unknown Void. This aura did not come from the Ultimate Sovereign, but from the depths of the void—from the "Void Lord." He was the Origin Will of the Unknown Void, in control of the ultimate principle of "devouring every realm." Clearly, he had reached some kind of agreement with the Ultimate Sovereign.
An ultimate adventure concerning the freedom and survival of every realm had quietly begun at the edge of the Unknown Void. Xuan Fu knew that no matter what awaited him ahead, he had to keep moving forward—for the freedom of all living beings across the Myriad Realms, and for the future of every realm.
