Mihuang Heaven

Seven-colored golden light, as though the heavens had overturned.

The Mysterious Woman Statue, its hands already pressed together before its chest, bore down from above with an indifferent air that seemed bent on destroying everything.

Everything happening now was almost exactly the same as what had happened in the previous Reincarnation.

Six brilliant rainbows, each a different color and all containing power enough to destroy heaven and earth, charged toward the already-torn sky.

And these six great Ascension Realm cultivators, representatives of the very pinnacle of power in this realm, had all prepared themselves to fight to the death.

On the Wanfa Platform.

Qiu Siruo, dressed in a moon-white Daoist robe and wreathed in flowing glazes of flame, stared up at the Mysterious Woman Statue overhead, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Chen Yan—or rather, Chen Yan's External Incarnation—held his left hand behind his back, while his right hand formed the seals for the Void Annihilation Method before his chest.

His right hand trembled uncontrollably.

Black cracks, signs that the Heaven and Earth Laws were crumbling, had already appeared on Chen Yan's wrist and were spreading relentlessly in both directions.

Using his External Incarnation to forcibly channel Dao Rhyme was simply too much for him.

Under ideal circumstances, it took a full hundred thousand years for an Ascension Realm cultivator's Dao Rhyme to wear away completely.

Yet Chen Yan had only ascended a little over two hundred years
