If Luohu hadn't intervened, in three days, even they themselves might have been killed on the spot by Long Zang.
The figure of Ancestor Qian Kun finally emerged. As he raised his hand, the Qiankun Cauldron spanned the sky, mountains and rivers appearing upon it as divine light of Creation surged, severing the River of Time.
Yuan Huang sneered, Battle Intent boiling in her eyes.
Suddenly... Boom!
A great halberd burst forth from the void, striking the Qiankun Cauldron and sending it flying!
A familiar figure appeared at Yuan Huang's side.
She raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile curling at the corner of her lips, yet her voice remained cold: "Didn't I tell you not to interfere?"
Long Zang chuckled lightly, his gaze sharp: "At a time like this, how could I just watch?"
Yuan Huang's heart warmed slightly, the smile on her lips growing deeper.
"Long Zang!"
The Three Heavens spoke in unison, their voices low and their eyes dark as pitch.
They had schemed for a long time and had already anticipated Long Zang's appearance.
Long Zang merely smiled faintly, stepping forward lightly, his voice calm yet biting: "Since that's the case, then come."
The great halberd spanned the sky, the pinnacle of force, without light or shadow, yet carrying supreme might.
"Long Zang, do you think we are still the same as we were back then?" Azure Heaven roared as the Three Heavens simultaneously channeled their origin power.
The Eye of Heavenly Punishment trembled, boundless Heavenly Might converging, ten thousand Daos resonating in unison. Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light poured down from the sky, striking Long Zang.
Yet Long Zang simply stood there with a hint of amusement, making no attempt to defend.
Boom! The Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light descended, shattering heaven and earth, but in the next moment, Long Zang's figure remained completely unharmed.
The Three Heavens' minds quaked.
They knew Long Zang's physical body was formidable, but they had never expected it to reach such a level!
The Heavenly Punishment Tribulation Light had not left even a single mark on him.
Long Zang's gaze was cold, his voice deep as a great bell: "You all... still aren't good enough."
Long Zang stood firm in the void, his long hair white as snow, his robes billowing.
He was like a revived Chaos Demon God, radiating a primal, ancient aura.
That presence was not mere power, but the sediment of Years and Space-Time, as if he were the sole Eternal existence between heaven and earth.
The Three Heavens stepped forward together, their origin forces resonating, their auras intertwining.
They spoke as one, their shouts like thunder: "Heavenly Will as Blade!"
In an instant, ten thousand Daos sang in unison, the Primordial World shook in resonance, and a colossal divine blade spanning heaven and earth materialized in the void.
The blade's light was cold, severing past, present, and future, as if it would split all realms in two with a single stroke.
As the blade descended, countless observing experts held their breath. Even Ancestor Yin Yang and Ancestor Qian Kun couldn't help their eyes twitching.
But Long Zang merely raised his hand.
He extended his palm, his five fingers closing, and caught the heaven-spanning divine blade with sheer force.
A thunderous crash rang out as the great blade shattered inch by inch, scattering into countless specks of light like snowflakes falling across the sky.
The Three Heavens' expressions shifted violently, shock surging in their hearts.
They had believed that the Heavenly Blade, forged by their combined strength, could stand proudly among the ranks of Supreme Experts.
But this scene before them was a merciless blow of reality... before Long Zang, it was utterly insignificant!
Long Zang strode forward, each step seeming to crush the River of Time beneath his feet.
A fierce light flickered in his eyes, the black great halberd spanning the sky, the aura of Destruction shrouding the stars.
The halberd descended, the void collapsing, time and space seeming to sink together.
The bodies of the Three Heavens exploded in an instant, their very souls trembling as if on the verge of annihilation.
Ancestor Qian Kun's pupils contracted, and he murmured in a low voice: "Has he... taken that step?"
Ancestor Yin Yang's gaze was heavy. If Long Zang had already become a Saint, they would have no power to resist at all.
Long Zang spoke calmly: "No, not yet. But close enough."
He was now a Sublime Saint, one foot already across the threshold of Sainthood.
Though not yet truly perfected, he had already far surpassed the realm of Supreme Experts.
That was why the Three Heavens were so easily crushed.
The Three Heavens' defeat was no injustice!
In the western region of the Primordial World, Luohu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Indeed, he has also reached this step..."
His voice was low, carrying a hint of wariness.
At the Endless Sea, Ancestor Dragon's pupils blazed like lanterns, cold light flickering: "It seems I too must hasten my pace."
In the Central Great Domain, First Kirin's expression darkened, a sense of crisis surging in his heart for the first time.
And in some unknown void, Yang Mei looked up and laughed softly: "My path is not lonely!"
He understood that within the Primordial World, another existence walking the path of proving the Dao through power had finally appeared.
On the battlefield, Long Zang swung the Black Halberd once more, the destruction divine ability "Return to Ruins" sweeping down like a tidal wave, intent on utterly annihilating the Three Heavens.
As the Three Heavens' divine souls teetered on the brink of collapse, they suddenly intertwined, their aura surging explosively.
Ripples of the Heavenly Dao emerged, and a brand-new existence stepped forth from the radiance.
Silver-white hair, a third eye on the brow, and a Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel manifesting behind him.
Cold and noble, as if the very incarnation of the Heavenly Dao!
Long Zang narrowed his eyes, muttering under his breath: "Trinity... the First Heaven beneath the Heavenly Dao."
The First Heaven let out a cold shout: "Die!"
Endless heavenly might pressed down, shaking heaven and earth.
Long Zang's gaze was icy, his Battle Intent boiling, a smile tugging at his lips: "Now this is interesting."
His great halberd swept across like a primordial dragon suppressing all worlds, clashing head-on with the heavenly might.
With a thunderous roar, the First Heaven spat blood and staggered backward.
Long Zang spoke coldly: "Still not enough. Even as a trinity, you are merely three living beings with distracting thoughts in your hearts—you can never achieve true perfection."
As his words fell, he unleashed "Instant Eternity," freezing Space-Time, freezing All Things, and even the First Heaven stood rigid and motionless.
A flash of cold ruthlessness passed through Long Zang's eyes: "I've played enough. It's time for you to be on your way."
The great halberd, carrying supreme destruction, came crashing down!
But at that very moment, a Pitch-Black Grinding Disc shot across the void, blocking the strike.
Endless demonic flames roiled, and Luohu's figure emerged, his expression dark.
Seeing this, Long Zang showed no alarm, instead smiling: "As expected, you would act."
Luohu needed the Three Heavens as pawns; he could not allow them to die at Long Zang's hands.
Luohu spoke coldly: "This matter ends here."
His gaze was deep, fixed intently on Long Zang.
Because he knew very well... the man before him had become his greatest obstacle!
A smile lingered on Long Zang's face, but cold light gleamed in his eyes.
He spoke: "I'll let them go, but you have to fight me."
Luohu took a deep breath at these words and replied coldly: "Fine! Then let it be a battle beyond the heavens!"
With that, he transformed into a streak of black light and vanished from the Primordial World in an instant.
Long Zang looked at Yuan Huang, who nodded in acknowledgment.
Yin-Yang immediately said to Qiankun in a low voice: "Let's go!"
Then, he led the Three Heavens away in retreat.
They understood clearly that if not for Luohu's intervention, the Three Heavens—and even themselves—might have been slain on the spot by Long Zang.
Long Zang's power was too terrifying, so terrifying that it left them without the slightest thought of resistance.
Yin-Yang, Qiankun, and the others withdrew from the Southern Region, and Yuan Huang did not pursue.
She only silently raised her head to look beyond the heavens.
At the Endless Sea.
Ancestor Dragon's gaze was profound, wariness filling his heart.
He had long known that Luohu had his own goals and that his cooperation with the Dragon Clan was not purely motivated, but he never expected Luohu to display such strength.
After all, stepping into the realm of "Supreme Expert" was already as difficult as ascending to heaven.
What's more, Luohu had clearly touched upon a realm beyond the Supreme.
If it came down to it, Luohu could completely replace the Dragon Clan.
Ancestor Dragon murmured to himself: "Luohu, what exactly are you plotting?"
