Golden dominion radiance descended like an emperor, piercing the gray mist of the Chaos Abyss and instantly suppressing all energy fluctuations. This power carried the ultimate majesty of "dominating chaos and controlling all origins." It shared the same origin as the dominion power of the Ultimate Sovereign, yet was purer and more overbearing—this was the Ancestor of Dominion, the source of all dominion power and the Origin Will of the Ultimate Sovereign.
The figure of the Ancestor of Dominion emerged within the golden radiance. He wore a purple-gold imperial robe, with countless dominion runes swirling around him. His eyes were cold as frost. "Chaos Abyss, Primordial Chaos, and the Myriad Realms have struggled for tens of thousands of years. Today, this venerable one shall unify them all beneath absolute dominion." He raised a hand and swept it out. The golden dominion power transformed into countless chains that wrapped around the will of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss and the fusion body of the Lord of the Abyss.
Wherever the chains passed, the gray Chaos Abyss power and black abyssal power were forcibly suppressed. The fusion body's struggle abruptly halted, as if all its strength had been drained away. "Ancestor of Dominion, how dare you interfere in my affairs!" The will of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss let out an angry roar, yet could not break free from the dominion chains. "How could the Chaos Abyss allow you to dominate it at will?"
"Beneath heaven, all belongs to the king." The Ancestor of Dominion gave a cold snort. His dominion power surged, and the chains rapidly tightened, forcibly stripping away the fusion body's strength. "The Chaos Abyss, Primordial Chaos, and the Myriad Realms were all born from the Same Origin. They should have been unified from the beginning. The division and conflicts of the past were nothing but pointless internal attrition."
Under the protection of Origin Resonance, Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord barely steadied themselves, their faces filled with shock. They could clearly sense that the Ancestor of Dominion's power far surpassed that of every known existence. He did not intend to destroy any side. Instead, he wanted to completely merge the Chaos Abyss, Primordial Chaos, and the Myriad Realms into an absolutely orderly and absolutely obedient "Dominion Great World."
"Ancestor of Dominion, all things are born free. Why must you force them to unite?" Xuan Fu burned his remaining origin, and the Myriad Realms Primordial Talisman erupted with seven-colored purple-gold radiance. "Absolute dominion will only cause all origins to wither, ultimately leading to destruction!"
The Primordial Lord also spoke in agreement. "Ancestor of Dominion, sharing the Same Origin does not mean absolute obedience. The balance between life and death, and the freedom to choose, are the foundation of the continuation of all origins. What you are doing is no different from the Ultimate Sovereign and the Lord of the Chaos Abyss before you!"
A trace of impatience flashed through the Ancestor of Dominion's eyes. His dominion power transformed into a golden whip and lashed toward the two of them. "Stubborn fools! Freedom will only breed chaos. Only absolute dominion can allow all origins to endure eternally. Since you refuse to submit, I will suppress you first and enlighten you slowly."
The instant the golden whip collided with the Defensive Barrier formed by Origin Resonance, the seven-colored purple-gold and azure radiance shook violently. Huge cracks appeared across the barrier, and Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord were knocked backward again and again. The power of Origin Resonance began to run wild. They knew that their own strength alone was utterly insufficient to withstand the Ancestor of Dominion's attack. They had to unite with the power of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss to have even a sliver of hope.
"Lord of the Chaos Abyss, let us join forces for now!" Xuan Fu shouted at the restrained fusion body. "The Ancestor of Dominion intends to unify all origins. If you are suppressed, the Chaos Abyss will cease to exist as well!"
The will of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. "Fine! We shall join forces for now. After driving back the Ancestor of Dominion, we will settle who is superior!" He urged his remaining Chaos Abyss power into motion and fused it once more with the power of the Lord of the Abyss, forming a massive gray energy wave that slammed into the dominion chains.
The dominion chains were struck by the energy wave and loosened slightly. Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord seized the opportunity. The power of Origin Resonance surged, forming an attack wave interwoven with seven-colored purple-gold and azure light that blasted toward the Ancestor of Dominion. Though the three sides were not united in spirit, their combined power was still formidable.
The Ancestor of Dominion's expression shifted slightly. His dominion power surged, and golden runes condensed into a massive "Dominion Shield," blocking the attacks of all three sides. "Even if you join forces, you cannot escape the fate of being dominated!" He waved a hand, sending countless dominion runes flying toward the three sides in an attempt to suppress the Chaos Abyss, Xuan Fu, and the Primordial Lord simultaneously.
The battle erupted once more. Golden dominion power, gray Chaos Abyss power, seven-colored purple-gold Myriad Realms power, and azure Primordial Power collided, forming a massive Energy Vortex that covered the Chaos Abyss, the Primordial Pure Land, and the edges of the Myriad Realms. Countless fragments of energy flew in all directions. The Space Barrier completely collapsed, and the origins of all origins trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Xuan Fu's Myriad Realms Primordial Power was rapidly depleted, and the light of his runic body grew increasingly dim. He could sense that although the combined strength of the three sides was powerful, their lack of unity prevented them from unleashing its full might. The Lord of the Chaos Abyss sometimes directed his attacks at the Ancestor of Dominion and sometimes secretly targeted Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord, making the battle even more chaotic.
"This can't continue!" The Primordial Lord's voice carried urgency. "We must truly work together to drive back the Ancestor of Dominion! Otherwise, we will all be suppressed one by one!"
Xuan Fu also realized the crux of the problem. He burned part of the Myriad Realms Core and released a clear wave of conviction. "Lord of the Chaos Abyss, today's matter concerns the survival of all origins. If you can truly join forces with us, I promise that after we drive back the Ancestor of Dominion, the Chaos Abyss, Primordial Chaos, and the Myriad Realms will coexist peacefully without infringing upon one another!"
The will of the Lord of the Chaos Abyss fell silent for a moment before making its decision. "Fine! I'll trust you this once! Today, we shall work together to drive out this outsider!" His Chaos Abyss power no longer sabotaged them in secret. Instead, it coordinated with the powers of Xuan Fu and the Primordial Lord, forming an even larger attack wave that surged toward the Ancestor of Dominion.
Cracks appeared in the Dominion Shield of the Ancestor of Dominion, and his expression turned solemn. "I never expected you to truly join forces! But even so, you cannot change your fate of being dominated!" He burned his own dominion origin. Golden radiance surged, and the Dominion Shield transformed into a massive "Dominion Sacred Sword" that cleaved toward the attack wave of the three sides.
The instant the Sacred Sword collided with the attack wave, the four kinds of radiance annihilated one another. A massive Energy Shockwave shook the edges of all origins into reshaping. Xuan Fu, the Primordial Lord, and the Lord of the Chaos Abyss had all expended tremendous strength, their auras feeble. Even the golden figure of the Ancestor of Dominion had grown slightly translucent, clearly suffering a serious injury.
At that moment, a dazzling radiance erupted simultaneously from the Core Area of all origins. The powers of the Myriad Realms Core, the Primordial Chaos Core, and the Chaos Abyss Core resonated with one another, forming a "Myriad Origins Same Origin Talisman" that flew toward the battlefield. This talisman was a collection of the Myriad Origins Origin, containing the ultimate profundity of "uniting through the Same Origin and coexisting peacefully." It was the key to driving back the Ancestor of Dominion.
The three of them seized the opportunity and poured their remaining strength into the Myriad Origins Same Origin Talisman. Its radiance surged, forming a massive Same Origin Blade that slashed toward the Ancestor of Dominion. "Ancestor of Dominion, your path of dominion ends here!"
A trace of panic flashed through the Ancestor of Dominion's eyes. The radiance of the Dominion Sacred Sword surged as he tried to block the Same Origin Blade. But the Same Origin Blade's power was too great, containing the will of all origins. The Sacred Sword was forcibly severed, and the golden figure of the Ancestor of Dominion was struck by the blade, instantly wrapped in countless same-origin runes as his dominion power rapidly faded.
"No—I refuse to accept this!" The Ancestor of Dominion let out a shrill roar. His golden figure began to disintegrate, ultimately transforming into a wisp of golden remnant soul that fled toward the Dominion Domain. "Xuan Fu, Primordial Lord, Lord of the Chaos Abyss, just you wait! The next time we meet, I will bring all dominion power and completely unify all origins!"
After the remnant soul of the Ancestor of Dominion vanished, the radiance of the Myriad Origins Same Origin Talisman gradually subsided. The origins of all origins began rapidly repairing themselves, and the shattered Space Barrier gradually recovered as well. Xuan Fu, the Primordial Lord, and the Lord of the Chaos Abyss exchanged glances, all wearing exhausted smiles.
At that moment, the Myriad Origins Same Origin Talisman suddenly erupted with an eerie white radiance. This radiance came neither from the Same Origin nor from any known domain. Instead, it came from the Blank Domain Beyond Myriad Origins, carrying the ultimate rhythm of "emptying everything and returning to nothingness," causing even the Same Origin Power of all origins to tremble.
Xuan Fu's heart tightened. He knew that the master of this radiance might be an existence even more terrifying than the Ancestor of Dominion. And this existence seemed intent on using the Same Origin Power of all origins to empty everything and return all origins to their initial state of nothingness.
An ultimate crisis concerning the Same Origin of all origins and blank nothingness had silently descended upon the Core Area of all origins.
