If Luohu Hadn't Intervened, the Three Heavens-and Even They Themselves-Might Have Been Slain on the Spot by Long Zang

Qiankun Ancestor finally appeared. With a wave of his hand, the Qiankun Cauldron soared into the sky, mountains and rivers appearing across its surface. Boundless Creation Divine Light surged forth, cutting off the River of Time.

Yuan Huang sneered, Battle Intent boiling in her eyes.

Suddenly... Rumble!

A great halberd burst out of the void and struck the Qiankun Cauldron, sending it flying!

A familiar figure appeared at Yuan Huang's side.

She raised an eyebrow, a faint smile touching her lips, but her voice remained cold. "Didn't I tell you not to get involved?"

Long Zang chuckled, his gaze sharp. "How could I just stand by and watch at a time like this?"

Warmth stirred in Yuan Huang's heart, and her smile deepened.

"Long Zang!"

The Three Heavens shouted in unison, their expressions dark.

They had been plotting for a long time and had expected Long Zang to show up.

Long Zang merely smiled faintly and took a light step forward. His voice was calm but cold. "In that case, come."

The great halberd stretched across the sky, embodying the utmost Strength. It had neither light nor shadow, yet carried supreme might.

"Long Zang, do you think we're still who we were back then?" Azure Heaven roared as the Three Heavens simultaneously activated their origins.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment shuddered. Boundless heavenly might gathered, and the myriad Dao resonated as Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light poured down from the sky, striking Long Zang.

Yet Long Zang only stood there, perfectly still and making no attempt to defend himself, a trace of amusement in his eyes.

Boom! Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light crashed down, shattering heaven and earth. But in the next instant, Long Zang still stood there, completely unharmed.

The Three Heavens were shaken to their cores.

They knew Long Zang's body was powerful, but they had never imagined it could be this powerful!

Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light hadn't left so much as a mark on him.

Long Zang's gaze was cold, his voice deep as a tolling bell. "You're still no match for me."

Long Zang stood tall in the void, his long hair white as snow, his robes snapping in the wind.

He seemed like a Chaos Demon God awakening, his entire being radiating an ancient, primeval aura.

That presence was more than mere power. It felt like the accumulated weight of time and Space-Time, as if he were the sole eternal existence between heaven and earth.

The Three Heavens stepped forward together, their origins resonating and their auras intertwining.

They spoke as one, their voices booming like thunder. "Heavenly Will as Blade!"

In an instant, the myriad Dao resonated and the Primordial World trembled. A colossal divine blade spanning heaven and earth appeared in the void.

Its blade gleamed coldly, severing past, present, and future, as if it would split all the worlds in two with a single stroke.

As the blade came down, countless mighty figures watching the battle held their breath. Even Yin-Yang Ancestor and Qiankun Ancestor couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes.

But Long Zang simply raised a hand.

He extended his fingers, clenched them into a fist, and caught the divine blade spanning heaven and earth with his bare hand.

With a deafening crash, the blade shattered inch by inch, scattering into countless flecks of light that drifted down like snow across the Celestial Vault.

The Three Heavens' expressions changed abruptly, shock flooding their hearts.

They had thought that the Heavenly Blade formed by their combined strength would be enough to stand proudly among the Supreme Experts.

But what they saw now was a cruel reality... In front of Long Zang, it was nothing!

Long Zang strode toward them, each step seeming to crush the River of Time beneath his feet.

A murderous glint shone in his eyes, and the black great halberd swept across the sky, its aura of Destruction blotting out the stars.

The halberd came down, and the void collapsed. Time and space seemed to sink into ruin together.

The Three Heavens' bodies shattered with a thunderous crash. Even their souls were shaken, as if they might be extinguished at any moment.

Qiankun Ancestor's pupils narrowed. He murmured in a low voice, "Has he... taken that step?"

Yin-Yang Ancestor's expression grew grave. If Long Zang had become a Saint, they wouldn't have the slightest power to resist him.

But Long Zang spoke calmly. "No. Not yet. But I'm close."

He was now a Sublime Saint, with one foot already in the Saint realm.

Though he hadn't yet reached true perfection, he had far surpassed the realm of the Supreme Experts.

That was why the Three Heavens had been so utterly helpless.

Their defeat was no disgrace!

In the Western Region of the Primordial World, Luohu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"As expected, he's reached this stage too..."

His voice was low, with a hint of wariness.

In the Endless Sea, Ancestor Dragon's eyes shone like lamps, cold light flickering within them. "Looks like I should pick up the pace too."

In the Central Great Domain, First Kirin's expression was dark, and for the first time, he felt a sense of crisis.

And in some unknown stretch of the void, Yang Mei Ancestor laughed heartily toward the sky. "I'm not alone on this path!"

He understood that someone had finally emerged in the Primordial World who, like him, was following the path of Proving the Dao with Strength.

On the battlefield, Long Zang swung his Black Halberd again. His destructive Divine Ability, "Return to Ruins," swept toward them from all sides, seeking to grind the Three Heavens into nothingness.

The Three Heavens' souls were on the verge of shattering when they suddenly intertwined, their aura surging in an instant.

The Heavenly Dao's fluctuations appeared, and a new being emerged from the radiance.

Silver-white hair, a third eye between his brows, and the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel behind him.

Cold and noble, he seemed the very embodiment of the Heavenly Dao!

Long Zang narrowed his eyes and murmured, "Three in one... The First Heaven beneath the Heavenly Dao."

First Heaven gave a cold shout. "Die!"

Boundless heavenly might pressed down, making heaven and earth tremble.

Long Zang's gaze was icy, Battle Intent boiling as a smile touched his lips. "Now this is interesting."

The great halberd swept across the sky, like a primeval Giant Dragon bearing down on all creation, meeting the heavenly might head-on.

With a thunderous crash, First Heaven spat blood and staggered backward.

Long Zang spoke coldly. "You're still no match for me. Even as one, you're still three beings, each with distracting thoughts. You can never truly become one."

As his words fell, he unleashed "Instant Eternity." Space-Time froze, all things were immobilized, and First Heaven was frozen in place as well.

A cold glint flashed through Long Zang's eyes. "I've had my fun. It's time for you to go."

The great halberd, carrying supreme Destruction, came crashing down!

But at that moment, a Pitch-Black Grinding Disc shot across the sky and blocked the strike.

Endless demonic flames surged as Luohu appeared, his expression dark.

Seeing him, Long Zang didn't look surprised. Instead, he smiled. "As expected, you'd intervene."

Luohu needed the Three Heavens as pawns. There was no way he'd let them die at Long Zang's hands.

Luohu spoke coldly. "This ends here."

His gaze was deep as he stared fixedly at Long Zang.

He knew all too well... This man before him had become his greatest obstacle!

Long Zang's face wore a smile, but his eyes gleamed coldly.

He spoke. "I'll spare them, but you'll have to fight me."

Luohu took a deep breath and replied coldly, "Fine! We'll settle this beyond the heavens!"

With that, he transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared from the Primordial World in an instant.

Long Zang looked at Yuan Huang, and she nodded.

Yin-Yang immediately whispered to Qiankun, "Let's go!"

Then he led the Three Heavens away with him.

They knew all too well that if Luohu hadn't intervened, the Three Heavens—and even they themselves—might have been slain on the spot by Long Zang.

Long Zang's power was so terrifying that they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resisting him.

Yin-Yang, Qiankun, and the others withdrew from the Southern Region. Yuan Huang didn't pursue them.

She simply looked up in silence, toward the heavens beyond.

The Endless Sea.

Ancestor Dragon's gaze was somber, and wariness filled his heart.

He had long known that Luohu had plans of his own, and that his cooperation with the Dragon Clan was not simply what it seemed. But he hadn't expected Luohu to reveal such power.

After all, breaking into the realm of the Supreme Experts was already an incredibly difficult feat.

What's more, Luohu had clearly already touched a realm beyond that of the Supreme Experts.

If things came to it, Luohu could completely replace the Dragon Clan.

Ancestor Dragon murmured, "Luohu, what exactly are you plotting?"
