Kill!!!

As the Burial Sky Blade was forced steadily backward, countless cracks spread across the surface of this incomparably hard Civilization Supreme Treasure-grade weapon.

Along with them came bursts of teeth-grating metallic clanging and warping screeches.

Civilization Supreme Treasure-grade items indeed varied in quality.

The Creation of the Heavens Divine Axe in Pan Gu's hand was undoubtedly among the very finest of all Civilization Supreme Treasure-grade items.

Especially when wielded by Pan Gu himself—he could split even "heaven and earth" apart, let alone anything else!

And the Burial Sky Blade in Darkness Demon Ancestor's hand was naturally also an exceptional existence among Civilization Supreme Treasures.

But compared with Pan Gu's Creation of the Heavens Axe, it was clearly still a step behind.

More importantly, the gap between Darkness Demon Ancestor's current strength and Pan Gu's was simply far too great!

Darkness Demon Ancestor was merely at the Half-Level-9 Peak—perhaps, in Pan Gu's eyes, already a Quasi-Level-9 lifeform—while Pan Gu...

The stifled collision continued!

Although Darkness Demon Ancestor's strength fell far short of Pan Gu's, and even his Burial Sky Blade was nowhere near as formidable as the Creation of the Heavens Divine Axe, Darkness Demon Ancestor refused to concede defeat!

Unlike Nether Bone Demon Ancestor, who had possessed almost no room to resist before being instantly slain by a single blow from Pan Gu, Darkness Demon Ancestor could clearly hold on much longer!

The enormous Creation of the Heavens Divine Axe kept descending from high above the starry sky, driving Darkness Demon Ancestor's Dominator body steadily downward with it.

The Burial Sky Blade continued to emit teeth-grating sounds of metal cracking and clashing, yet Darkness Demon Ancestor remained motionless beneath the Pan Gu Axe, without retreating a single step!

The terrifying collision of power above directly unleashed incomparably violent energy tides throughout the surrounding region centered on Darkness Demon Ancestor and Pan Gu.

Even an Level 8 Dominator like Saine, being too close, was sent flying by those power tides.

The God of Machines not far from Saine suffered the same fate!

The God of Machines indeed possessed a physique and strength so exaggerated that trillions upon trillions of Star Realm lifeforms would be left speechless, but compared to the two currently colliding, it was clearly lacking by far more than a little.

At this moment, Saine finally understood what the ultimate power of the Star Realm was!

No—within this Chaos Void, the power unleashed by Darkness Demon Ancestor and Pan Gu had likely already surpassed the Star Realm's limits.

Fortunately, this was the Chaos Void.

Had this been the normal Star Realm, a clash of power at this level would likely have long drawn the suppression of the Astral Realm Rules and the attention of the Astral Realm Will.

It would not have been impossible to force the Eye of the Astral Realm into appearing directly!

When Darkness Demon Ancestor had fought outside the Chaos Void before, he had forced the Eye of the Astral Realm to appear more than once, leaving it helpless against him.

This power that shattered the balance...

Those continuously blasted backward through the power tides were not only Saine and the God of Machines. Even Saine's father-in-law, Baxia, an Level 8 Dominator with such massive size and tonnage, could not help halting his advance toward the Pan Gu True Body.

At this point, there was indeed no need for Baxia, Zhen Yuanzi, and the others to "guard" the Pan Gu True Body. Instead, Pan Gu had become the Immortal Domain side's greatest pillar on this battlefield.

As countless Immortal Domain beings looked upon Pan Gu at this moment, they could not help feeling as though they were looking at a "father" or "mother."

At this moment, Pan Gu was the incarnation of the will of the Prehistoric World!

No, he himself was the Prehistoric World!

The terrifying collision continued.

Even now, Darkness Demon Ancestor had not given up!

A vast quantity of Dominator Omnipotent Souls blazed fiercely within Darkness Demon Ancestor's body.

This was likely the most violently and rapidly Darkness Demon Ancestor had ever burned Dominator Omnipotent Souls in his life.

When he had previously fought the Pan Gu True Body formed by Master Tongtian and the others merging together, Darkness Demon Ancestor had already sensed that he was no match for them. But at that time, the Power Gap between the two sides had not been so great.

Darkness Demon Ancestor believed that while he could not win, protecting himself would not be a problem. He had even intended to use it to break through to a higher realm.

But now, beneath this world-shaking axe strike from Pan Gu, Darkness Demon Ancestor truly felt as though he might be killed outright by his opponent!

"Then let me die!"

"This is my path!"

"Let the brave live! Let the weak die!" Darkness Demon Ancestor roared.

When the Burial Sky Blade in his hand completely shattered into countless Metal Shards, Darkness Demon Ancestor charged forward without hesitation toward the Creation of the Heavens Divine Axe.

Darkness Demon Ancestor seemed to recall the time outside that Time-Space Rift, when Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor had asked him, "Are you afraid?"

"Afraid? Afraid my ass!" Darkness Demon Ancestor had laughed loudly before striding into it.

But in the end, it was still he who had been dragged back out by Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor like a dead dog, his life saved by her.

"Hmph, remember this. This is the last time I'll save you," Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor had snorted at Darkness Demon Ancestor.

Darkness Demon Ancestor, who had only one breath left at the time, merely rolled his eyes and ignored Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor.

Yet deep down, Darkness Demon Ancestor remembered Mist and Haze Demon Ancestor's kindness.

Darkness Demon Ancestor also recalled another scene. It was when he had nearly achieved fame and success, and Bright Blue Demon Ancestor, following behind him, could not help asking, "Are you really going to do that?"

"This is the path I chose! If you're afraid, you can leave," Darkness Demon Ancestor had turned and said to Bright Blue Demon Ancestor.

"No! I'll go with you!" Bright Blue Demon Ancestor had declared firmly. Though she was not skilled in battle, she had always been willing to remain by Darkness Demon Ancestor's side.

Darkness Demon Ancestor also recalled the deepest scene in his memories: himself standing amid the boundless Starry Sky Battlefield, a Broken Saber in hand.

"If heaven seeks to destroy me, then I shall defy heaven!"

"Kill!!!"

Memory broke through reality. The Burial Sky Blade in Darkness Demon Ancestor's hand continuously wavered between shattering and solidifying.

Ignoring the rapid burning of the Omnipotent Souls within his body, Darkness Demon Ancestor once again swung the Broken Saber in his hand and bellowed, "Kill!!!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

Terrifying pressure from the rules continuously erupted in all directions, centered on Darkness Demon Ancestor and Pan Gu.

The waves of rule energy generated by their sweep directly interrupted many battles in the surrounding area.

Vast amounts of the Chaos Qi Sea churned as they continued sweeping toward the more distant void.

A sheet of white light filled everything in sight.

This collision continued, while the Profound Influence it caused kept fermenting.

At the very least, the battles inside and outside the Prehistoric World stalled because of this eruption.

No one knew how much time passed.

When the grand energy tides finally began to subside, and the terrifying pressure raging across the battlefield gradually weakened.

At the very center of the boundless Chaos Qi Sea.

Pan Gu still stood proudly in this world!

While Darkness Demon Ancestor opposite him was now kneeling on one knee, supporting himself with a Broken Saber as he panted heavily!

Darkness Demon Ancestor had actually not died!

Unlike Nether Bone Demon Ancestor, who had perished beneath Pan Gu's world-shaking strike without even managing to struggle.

Darkness Demon Ancestor, regarded as a Half-Level-9 Peak, had taken Pan Gu's heaven-opening strike head-on—and survived!
