Primordial Chaos Shatters Profound Yellow, Emperor's Might Falls into the Starry Sky

"Myriad Laws Return to Origin? That's nothing more than a trick that steals the superficial aspects of my Emperor's Way. How dare you show off your meager skills before an expert!"

The Profound Heaven Great Emperor wiped away the golden Emperor Blood that trickled from the corner of his mouth. The blood, dripping into the void, did not dissolve but instead transformed into specks of golden light, scorching the Space Barrier. The sizzling sound revealed the unparalleled domineering power of his Emperor Dao Origin. His golden Emperor Eyes surged with boundless rage, yet deep within his pupils lay an extremely ruthless calculation, as if he had already laid a trap, waiting for his prey to fall into it. He stomped his foot heavily on the void, a muffled boom echoing throughout the universe. The already shattered starry sky trembled violently, and billions of... Countless subtle Principle of laws emerged from the Void, like a giant dragon that had been dormant for millennia suddenly awakening, shimmering with a cold light in the darkness. The residual power of the previously broken Tan Zhou Great Formation was forcibly drawn together again by the Emperor Dao Origin. Countless Emperor Dao Runes danced and converged like fireflies, instantly weaving into a giant net covering billions of miles. The mesh of the net shimmered with profound marks of "Suppression," "Judgment," and "Annihilation." Each mark contained the Great Emperor's will, causing the surrounding space and time to freeze.

Even more chilling was the fact that the giant net was interwoven with Profound Yellow Qi. Each wisp of Qi was as if forged from millennia-old Mysterious Iron, its weight causing the space itself to sink slightly and ripple with visible force. This Profound Yellow Qi was no ordinary Spiritual Qi, but rather the primordial Qi left over from the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, carrying the terrifying power to "suppress all heavens and annihilate all things." Star Fragments it touched were instantly crushed into Void. This was no ordinary formation, but the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's Killing Moves — the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation! For this formation, he spent thirty thousand years traversing three thousand Small World, collecting the sparse Profound Yellow Mother Qi; he also forcibly dismantled the Spirit Vein of ninety-nine immortal mountains, extracting their Origin Power to integrate into the formation's foundation; on the day the formation was completed, it even triggered a Heavenly Dao phenomenon in the nine heavens, with Myriad Golden Lights descending, said to be able to ensure that even Supreme Realm expert would not return, and even beings of the same Great Emperor Realm would have to be wary!

"Ren Xiaoyao, do you really think I would stop you with just the Tan Zhou Great Formation?" The Profound Heaven Great Emperor laughed wildly, his laughter filled with the arrogance of someone in control of everything. The Star Fragments in the starry sky outside the array trembled. "This array is based on the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, drawing upon the Stellar Power in the heavens as its blades. Within the array, there is a cycle of heaven Dao Foundation, and Closed Loop of Principle. Those who enter the array will have their souls and foundations crushed and gradually annihilated by the Profound Yellow Qi. Even Supreme Realm expert will not escape the fate of having their soul scattered and never being reincarnated!"

Before he finished speaking, his hands rapidly formed intricate hand seals, the Emperor Dao Runes at his fingertips leaping and dancing as if they had come alive, tracing profound paths in the air. The solid, lifelike illusory image of the Emperor Dao Origin behind him suddenly exploded, transforming into countless golden streams of light that poured down like an inverted Milky Way, all merging into the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation. The array was instantly activated, the Profound Yellow Qi surging like a tsunami, the space within the billions of miles of the array area violently distorted, becoming as crumpled as a piece of paper, and distant stars were stretched into thin ribbons of light under this distorting force. Countless Star Phantoms floated and rotated within the array, each star radiating a mountain-like suppressive pressure. When the densely packed Star Phantoms crashed down simultaneously, they formed a sky-covering shadow, completely swallowing up even the light, plunging the array into a pitch-black darkness, with only the light of the Profound Yellow Qi and the Emperor Dao Runes runes flickering.

Even more terrifying, countless thick, arcane chains of divine yellow material emerged from the formation. These chains were inscribed with Ancient Runes of "Annihilation" and "Suppression," their flashing light emanating a deathly aura that would make even Grand Unity Golden Immortal tremble. Like shackles binding the heavens, these chains, accompanied by a sharp, Sky-Rending Strike sound, coiled towards Ren Xiaoyao. Wherever they passed, space was compressed into a tangible form, rippling outwards. Even the primordial Primordial Chaos Dao Power condensed around Ren Xiaoyao, as if it were about to be crushed into Void, fluctuated violently. Before the chains even reached him, the overwhelming pressure made Ren Xiaoyao's breathing difficult, and his skin beneath his Daoist robes felt a sharp, stinging pain, as if countless invisible blades were cutting into him.

For the first time, Ren Xiaoyao's expression turned solemn, his brows furrowing slightly. He felt the pressure around him increase a hundredfold, as if he were being suppressed by billions of divine mountains simultaneously, even his bones creaking under the unbearable weight. The Profound Yellow Qi, like maggots clinging to his bones, frantically invaded his meridians through his pores. Wherever it passed, the walls of his meridians felt a sharp pain, as if countless fine needles were repeatedly piercing him, trying to dismantle the foundation of his Dao power. This Profound Yellow Mother Qi was the primordial Qi born at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, possessing the extreme characteristics of "heavy" and "annihilation." It was even more domineering and tyrannical than the power of the Emperor Dao, and ordinary Dao power could not resist it at all. Even the extremely inclusive Primordial Chaos Dao Power could only barely stop its erosion, and could not completely expel it.

As if sensing its master's peril, the Chaos Sword Embryo emitted a rapid and high-pitched Sword Hum. Golden, purple, Tricolor Streamer flashed intensely across its blade, like three agile divine Divine Dragon roaming freely. Primordial Runes surged wildly like a tidal wave, forming a semi-transparent defensive barrier around Ren Xiaoyao. Runes flowed across the barrier, continuously counteracting the erosion of the Profound Yellow Qi. Even so, Ren Xiaoyao was still forced back by the Xuanhuang Divine Chains. Each step he took left a deep footprint in the void, and the space around the footprints cracked with fine fissures, spreading like a spiderweb. His Daoist robes fluttered in the wind, and the veins on his body bulged like writhing dragons, clearly indicating that he had pushed his Dao power to its limit. Even the nascent Primordial Chaos Universe within his body was accelerating its rotation, continuously providing a vast source of Dao power.

"You old man Xuantian, what kind of real skill is it to trap me with external force!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his voice booming like thunder within the formation, causing countless Xuanhuang divine chains to tremble slightly, and some even showing tiny cracks. The fighting spirit in his eyes not only did not diminish, but instead burned even more fiercely, like oil being poured on a raging fire. The stronger the enemy, the more desperate the situation, the more it ignited the arrogance and domineering nature in his bones. This sense of oppression on the brink of life and death made his Dao Heart clearer, and his understanding of the Primordial Chaos Dao was also rapidly improving.

Suddenly, he plunged the Chaos Sword Embryo into the void. The instant the sword disappeared into the void, the primordial Primordial Chaos Dao Power scattered within the array domain converged wildly as if summoned by an invisible force, forming a massive vortex of Dao power around the sword embryo. The nascent Primordial Chaos Universe within his dantian erupted with a thunderous roar, and billions of three-colored Dao powers surged forth like a volcanic eruption, flowing into the Chaos Sword Embryo along the meridians of his arm. The sword embryo instantly grew exponentially, climbing from ten thousand feet to one hundred thousand feet in length. The Primordial Runes, the Heaven Burning Sword Pattern, and the Emperor Dao Laws imprints on the sword body simultaneously burst forth with dazzling light. Three beams of light pierced through the heavens and earth, shooting out from the sword embryo's tip, body, and hilt, respectively corresponding to the three ultimate powers of "encompassing," "destroying," and "controlling." Wherever the beams of light passed, the Profound Yellow Qi continuously retreated and dissolved.

Three beams of light intertwined and entwined within the formation, transforming into a massive three-colored light curtain. On this curtain, the three forces merged and collided, unleashing unparalleled power, like the primordial Chaos Current at the Beginning of Heaven and Earth, forcefully blocking the entanglement of the Xuanhuang Divine Chains. The Xuanhuang Divine Chains that rushed up crashed into the light curtain, producing clanging sounds of metal clashing, Mars flying, and the sound echoing throughout the entire formation area. They were actually shaken by the light curtain and shattered inch by inch. Before the Profound Yellow Qi at the broken points could be reassembled, it was completely incinerated by the Heaven Burning Sword Intent on the light curtain.

"The Primordial Chaos Dao gives rise to all things; the Heaven-Burning Sword destroys everything; the Emperor's Power governs the universe—today, I will combine the three Daos to break your damned Xuanhuang Formation!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, his voice filled with unwavering determination. His Dao power was pushed to its limit, even resonating with the Principle of the starry sky outside the formation. The Primordial Chaos Steps were activated to their peak, his figure transforming into countless afterimages within the formation. Each afterimage was lifelike, wielding a miniature version of the Chaos Sword Embryo, radiating a sword aura no weaker than the real body, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, and even the divine soul could not lock onto its trace.

These afterimages simultaneously slashed towards the array's core, unleashing countless tri-colored Sword Qi like a meteor shower. The dense Sword Qi blotted out the sky, dyeing half the array domain in gold, purple, and cyan, colliding with the constantly regenerating Xuanhuang divine chains. The deafening clang of metal against metal reverberated throughout the entire array domain, even penetrating the array and reaching the outer starry sky, causing the eardrums of the immortals watching from afar to ache, and prompting them to circulate their Dao power to resist. The Xuanhuang divine chains broke repeatedly, only to be rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the Profound Yellow Mother Qi, creating a tug-of-war. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaoyao's true body, taking advantage of the moment when the afterimages distracted the Profound Heaven Great Emperor, rushed towards the array's core like an arrow released from a bow—he had already used his Primordial Chaos Dao Power to perceive the array's core the instant it was activated, which was the fist-sized Profound Yellow Mother Pearl floating above the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's head.

The Profound Yellow Mother Pearl was a deep yellow color, with an intensely dense Profound Yellow Qi flowing across its surface, rolling like liquid. Its surface was covered with intricate array patterns, each of which was closely related to the operation of the great array. It was the energy source of the entire Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation, equivalent to the heart of the array. As long as the mother pearl was shattered, the great array would collapse on its own.

"Trying to break the array's core? Wishful thinking!" Profound Heaven Great Emperor's eyes turned cold as he instantly saw through Ren Xiaoyao's intentions, inwardly cursing the other party for being cunning. He formed array hand seals, his speed several times faster than before, and uttered a low shout, "Star Annihilation!"

Suddenly, the floating Star Phantoms exploded simultaneously, creating deafening roars. Countless Star Fragments, carrying terrifying Profound Yellow Qi, formed Starfall Storm tens of thousands of miles in diameter. These storms contained extreme Annihilation Power, causing space to collapse wherever they passed, enough to completely crush the Dao Foundation of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, leaving not even a trace of their soul. These Starfall Storm, like ferocious giant mouths, swept towards Ren Xiaoyao from all directions, blocking all his escape routes and leaving him with no way to avoid them.

At the same time, the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl above Profound Heaven Great Emperor's head shone brightly, as dazzling as a second sun. Countless Mystic Yellow Light Pillar as thick as buckets shot out from the pearl, like sharp swords, towards Ren Xiaoyao. Each beam had the characteristic of locking onto the soul, so no matter how he dodged, he could not avoid it. Before the beams even got close, the aura of annihilation made Ren Xiaoyao's soul feel a series of stinging pains.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless in the slightest. He knew that he was now on the verge of death. If he were hit by the Starfall Storm or the Mystic Yellow Light Pillar, even with his profound Dao Foundation and astonishing defensive Primordial Chaos Dao Power, he would inevitably suffer severe injuries. At that time, under the subsequent attacks of the Profound Heaven Great Emperor, he would probably not be able to escape defeat. Without the slightest hesitation, he unhesitatingly detonated 30% of the Primordial Chaos Dao Power within his body. This was the limit he could currently withstand; any more would damage his Dao Foundation!

"Primordial Chaos Sword Technique - Body Transformed into a Sword!"

A sharp shout, like an ancient thunderclap, resounded throughout the entire array domain, even drowning out the roar of the Starfall Storm. The instant Ren Xiaoyao's Dao power erupted, he merged with the Chaos Sword Embryo, transforming into a Tricolor Sword Dragon that pierced the heavens and earth. The sword dragon's body was ten thousand feet long, its entire body covered in Primordial Runes like scales, shimmering with a cold, eerie light. Each scale contained the immense power to encompass all things; the Heaven Burning Sword Pattern transformed into raging Flame Sect, encircling the dragon's body and burning away the surrounding Profound Yellow Qi. Wherever the flames passed, the Profound Yellow Qi sizzled and melted away; and the assimilated Emperor Dao Laws mark condensed into a single horn on the Dragon Head, flashing with golden light and radiating unparalleled domineering power, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

The Stegosaurus opened its massive maw, unleashing a roar that shook the universe. Wherever the sound waves passed, the rotation of the Starfall Storm slowed by a fraction of a second. Then, it spewed out a beam of destructive power containing three Origin Power: Primordial Chaos inclusiveness, Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation destruction, and imperial control. The beam was a three-colored spiral, its edges shimmering with the cold light of Law Fragments, possessing immense power. Wherever the beam passed, space completely collapsed, forming a pitch-black passage. The Starfall Storm was directly torn open, and the Star Fragments within the storm instantly turned to dust under the beam's illumination, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Sword Dragon flashed through the opening as if Teleport, ignoring the attacks of the Mystic Yellow Light Pillar —its dragon scales formed from Primordial Chaos Dao Power were incredibly tough, reflecting all the incoming Mystic Yellow Light Pillar back. The light pillars landed on the dragon scales, leaving only Mars, unable to cause any damage. With unparalleled power, the Sword Dragon charged straight towards the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl above the Profound Heaven Great Emperor's head, its speed reaching its limit, leaving only a Tricolor Afterimage, making it impossible for the Profound Heaven Great Emperor to track its trajectory.

"No!" Profound Heaven Great Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief and terror, his face turning deathly pale. He hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao to be so resolute, willing to detonate his own Dao power and Body Transformed into a Sword to break the formation; this was completely beyond his expectations. He frantically activated the Emperor Dao Origin within his body, continuously pouring it into the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl, attempting to strengthen its defense. The array patterns on the surface of the Mother Pearl instantly became incomparably brilliant, emitting a thick Defense Light Barrier. However, the sword dragon that Ren Xiaoyao had transformed into was too fast, giving him no chance to react at all, and in an instant, it had already rushed close.

"Bang--!"

A deafening roar erupted as the sword dragon slammed into the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl. The three-colored Origin Power erupted instantly, sweeping out like a volcanic eruption. The Primordial Chaos Dao Power, like a whale sucking water, frantically assimilated the Profound Yellow Qi within the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl, converting it into its own energy. The Heaven Burning Sword Intent transformed into invisible flames, fiercely burning the array patterns on the surface of the mother pearl. The array patterns rapidly melted in the flames, emitting a sizzling sound. The Emperor's Dao Power, like a sharp sword, directly dismantled the core structure of the mother pearl, instantly filling its Defense Light Barrier with cracks.

"Snap--!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out within the formation, as jarring as shattering glass. Spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across the surface of the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl, continuing to expand and widen. Dense Profound Yellow Qi leaked out from the cracks like a tide, forming pillars of energy within the formation. The operation of the formation instantly became sluggish, and the power of the Xuanhuang Divine Chains and the Starfall Storm also weakened abruptly, becoming feeble and powerless.

Seizing this critical opportunity, Ren Xiaoyao instantly detached from his sword dragon form. His figure flickered in the void and appeared before the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl. He gripped the Chaos Sword Embryo tightly with both hands, and the three-colored Dao power around him surged into the sword like a volcanic eruption. The speed at which the Sword Aura condensed was extremely fast. The golden, purple Tricolor Streamer continuously wrapped and compressed on the blade, emitting a terrifying aura that caused the surrounding space to collapse continuously.

"Primordial Chaos Sword Technique - World Creation!"

A sharp shout resounded throughout the heavens as the three-colored Sword Aura condensed once more, more solid and domineering than ever before. Stretching for ten thousand feet, the Sword Aura resembled World-Opening Giant Axe, its edges shimmering with the cold light of Law Fragments. Carrying the vast power of the Primordial Chaos Initial Opening and the scorching heat of Heaven-Burning Emperor Formation- destroying force, it slashed fiercely down towards the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl. This sword strike, condensing all his Dao power and fusing the three Origin Power, was the strongest attack he could unleash at this moment!

"Boom--!"

After a deafening roar, the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl was cleaved in two. Profound Yellow Qi surged from the broken surfaces, transforming into two enormous pillars that shot straight into the sky, exploding in the starry sky and forming a vast expanse of Xuanhuang mist. With the shattering of the Mother Pearl, the Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation completely collapsed. The array patterns, spanning billions of miles, shattered inch by inch like glass, emitting a piercing sound. The Profound Yellow Qi, freed from its restraints, leaked out wildly, forming massive shockwaves in the starry sky. Wherever these shockwaves passed, countless Star Fragments were swept away and crushed, and even the distant Space Barrier were shaken to the point of collapse.

The Profound Heaven Great Emperor suffered a violent backlash from the collapse of the great formation, violently spitting out a mouthful of golden Emperor Blood. The blood mist spread in the air like a suddenly unfolding golden cloud, suspended in the shattered starry sky. Each drop of blood contained the pure yet extremely violent Emperor Dao Origin, falling with the force to tear through the void, smashing into the surrounding Space Barrier and instantly creating Black Hole the size of pinheads. These Black Hole contracted rapidly as soon as they formed, then exploded under the Energy Impact, bursting out with fine, star-like energy ripples that shattered nearby floating Star Fragments into dust.

The instant he spat out that mouthful of Emperor Blood, the illusory Emperor Dao Star River surrounding him collapsed with a deafening roar. The originally dazzling and flowing golden light bands receded like a tide, leaving only remnants of light to vanish in the starlight. His Purple-Gold Emperor Robe, already riddled with cracks from the previous collision, were now shattered inch by inch by the backlash. The Nine Dragons Totem embroidered on the robes, having lost the nourishment of the imperial power, had dulled scales and drooped Dragon Head, as if they had completely lost their vitality. The tattered robes fluttered in the starlight, and on his exposed skin, fine cracks were spreading at a visible speed, crawling from his chest all the way to his limbs and bones. Deep within the cracks, golden flames flickered, a sign of the uncontrolled leakage of the Emperor Dao Origin after its damage. Each flicker was accompanied by a suppressed groan from the Profound Heaven Great Emperor.

His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, so fast that it left a long golden afterimage, smashing through several Star Fragments thousands of miles in diameter along the way. Each impact caused his blood and qi to churn even more violently, his chest feeling as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles. Several mouthfuls of golden blood foam spilled from the corners of his mouth, mixing with the lingering blood mist and forming a winding crimson trail in the void. His once majestic and cold golden Emperor Eyes were now filled with ferocious bloodshot veins. The surging within them was no longer the previous rage and arrogance, but a mixture of disbelief, deep resentment, and a trace of despair that was hard to conceal—after ruling the Immortal Realm for billions of years, when had he ever suffered such a severe injury, when had he ever tasted the bitterness of being on the verge of defeat?

Profound Heaven Great Emperor attempted to circulate his Emperor Dao Origin to stabilize himself, but found that the Imperial Dao power within his body was like a wild horse running rampant. The walls of his meridians had already been riddled with holes by the shockwave from the shattering of the Profound Yellow Mother Pearl. Each exertion of power was accompanied by excruciating pain, as if every bone in his body was breaking inch by inch. Even more terrifying was that the Primordial Chaos Dao Power and Profound Yellow Qi leaked out when the great formation collapsed, intertwining with each other and surging into his body like two venomous snakes along his injured meridians. On one hand, they were disintegrating his Emperor Dao Origin, and on the other hand, they were eroding the foundation of his soul. In his sea of consciousness, countless Emperor Dao Runes collapsed one after another under the impact of the two forces, making a crisp sound like shattering glass. As his sea of consciousness trembled, even maintaining the stability of his soul became extremely difficult.

The illusory image of the Emperor Dao Origin behind him had long since dissipated, replaced by a chaotic mass of golden energy, teetering precariously like a candle in the wind, barely able to maintain its basic form. The twelve-tasseled Emperor Crown atop his head, now devoid of the support of the Emperor's power, hung haphazardly, obscuring most of his face, revealing only his taut jawline and the throbbing veins beneath his skin, a testament to his extreme pain and struggle. The nine-dragon Emperor Belt around his waist had also lost its former luster; the Dragon Head drooped, no longer able to channel the flow of the Emperor Dao Energy, instead striking his tattered Emperor Robe with dull thuds as he swayed.

"Pfft—" Another mouthful of golden Emperor Blood spurted out, this time the blood was even darker, mixed with wisps of black mist, the erosion marks left by the invasion of the Profound Yellow Qi into the source, which sizzled and burned when it touched the void. The Profound Heaven Great Emperor finally managed to stabilize his figure in the starry sky, his feet staggering a few steps in the void, each step causing the space to slightly dent and then quickly bounce back, bursting out with fine spatial ripples. He pressed his hands tightly against his dantian, his palms surging with rich golden Emperor Power, trying to seal the constantly leaking Origin Power, but this was like a drop in the ocean. The Emperor Power overflowed from between his fingers like a flood, forming a hazy halo around him, but it was shrinking and dimming at a visible speed.

He raised his head, his golden Emperor Eyes fixed on Ren Xiaoyao not far away. The killing intent in his eyes was so intense it was almost tangible, nearly solidifying into a sharp blade, yet it was shrouded in deep apprehension. The Myriad Heavens Profound Yellow Formation, forged with thirty thousand years of painstaking effort, carried his greatest hope of annihilating Ren Xiaoyao. He had thought he could completely obliterate this thorn in his side, but he never expected to end up with the array shattered and him injured. His Dao Foundation was damaged, and his origin was in turmoil. This sense of defeat and humiliation was a thousand times more unbearable than death itself.

"Ren Xiaoyao... you... you dare to destroy my grand formation and damage my very essence..." The Profound Heaven Great Emperor's voice was hoarse and dry, trembling uncontrollably. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, containing boundless hatred and madness. "I have ruled the Immortal Realm for billions of years, and I have never suffered such humiliation... Today, even if I burn my Emperor Dao Origin, I will drag you down with me... to perish together!"

The moment he finished speaking, a strange golden light suddenly erupted from his body. This light was no longer the majestic Emperor's Might of before, but carried a Jade and Stone Shattered determination to destroy everything. Beneath his damaged skin, the golden flames burned even more fiercely, even dyeing the surrounding starry sky with a strange golden hue. The temperature suddenly rose, and countless Star Fragments melted rapidly in this heat wave, turning into liquid magma that dripped into the depths of the starry sky.
