Boom!
Sword light collided with a blood-red hand, unleashing an ocean of Immortal Emperor power.
The laws of time, cause and effect, and space surged. Great Thousand Worlds were born and destroyed beneath that single blow.
Shi Hao was strong. Standing at the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, he looked down upon the End of the Road.
But the Progenitors were stronger. Relying on the ash-like primordial substance scattered across the Plateau, they had ascended to the Sacrificial Dao level, beyond the End of the Road.
Even weakened by Wu Xuantian's slash through past, present, and future, they were still beyond any End of the Road being.
Crack!
The sword light shattered, and every law within it disintegrated into nothingness.
The blood-red hand it had struck belonged to a Sacrificial Dao being, capable of extinguishing all Daos and transcending them.
Yet destroying Huang Heavenly Emperor's full-force strike was no easy feat. The sword light had pierced the hand and riddled it with holes. Though it still held considerable power, it could no longer threaten Shi Hao. He slashed again and destroyed it completely.
"Not bad. You're nearly our equals. If we let you reach Sacrificial Dao, the consequences will be endless," said the Red Progenitor. The casual look in his eyes faded, replaced by gravity.
The White Ancestor, who had yet to act, stepped forward as well. He had no intention of giving Wu Xuantian and Shi Hao a chance to fight one-on-one.
The three Progenitors had lost their past, weakening them somewhat and narrowing the gap between them and Wu Xuantian and Shi Hao.
These two pinnacle End of the Road beings could now almost contend with them.
It was time to cut through the tangle and erase these two uncertainties. Everyone else would be easy to crush.
