The Primordial Land.
This was the final destination of countless Cultivators who ascended from the Hongmeng Grand Worlds, the supreme Divine Domain said to endure forever.
Floating continents forged from Divine Metal and Immortal Jade hung in the air. Immortal Flowers and Divine Herbs long extinct in the Outside World grew upon them, while Dao-Enlightenment Divine Springs coveted even by Quasi-Gods flowed through them.
But beneath this seemingly peaceful sanctuary raged a brutal war beyond anything the entire Lower Realm could imagine.
Boom!
A beam of Annihilation Divine Light thick enough to pierce several Hongmeng Grand Worlds shot from the edge of one floating continent and struck the Guardian Divine Formation around another.
The formation shook violently. Hundreds of millions of Runes surfaced across it, each one a complete Law.
Yet before the Annihilation Divine Light, those Laws might as well have been paper. They were torn apart and erased, layer by layer.
At last, the Guardian Divine Formation let out a groan as it gave way and shattered with a roar.
The light lost none of its force. It blasted a vast gap in the continent's edge, reducing countless Divine Temples and pavilions to dust in an instant.
"Yuanshi! Are you truly determined to fight me to the death?"
A roar laden with boundless fury came from deep within the stricken continent.
Then a majestic figure wearing a Purple-Gold Crown and a Ten Thousand Laws Dao Robe soared into the sky.
He held a divine sword engraved with the Sun, Moon, and Stars. With a casual swing, he unleashed Sword Qi that spanned the Void and split the Annihilation Divine Light in two.
He was Taishang, one of the rulers of this Divine Domain.
Across from him, another figure stood upon an even larger Divine Metal Continent.
