Chapter 521
Amidst the ruins, a figure, shimmering with a faint starlight, sat serenely.
She was enveloped in starlight.
This figure was none other than Xiao Minghuang.
Boom boom boom!
At this moment, Xiao Minghuang's aura grew even more powerful, and the aura emanating from his body became increasingly ethereal and extraordinary, like a celestial being suspended high in the sky, transcending all ages.
After destroying all the heavens and absorbing their essence, her power had grown to an unparalleled level.
At this moment, Xiao Minghuang has truly reached the pinnacle that all living beings can attain.
The pinnacle of the Immortal Venerable Realm!
Immortal Venerable Realm, 99,999 tribulations!
Overcoming each tribulation signifies a transformation in one's strength and also represents a deeper understanding of one's own path.
At this moment, she was surrounded by galaxies.
Those galaxies were all formed from her power, containing boundless pressure!
The peak of the Immortal Venerable realm requires immense power; the entire universe cannot simultaneously support two such powerful beings.
This means that Xiao Minghuang is now undoubtedly the number one person in the entire universe.
Or rather--
Invincible!
But.
Xiao Minghuang knew that her real enemy was not any specific person.
Suddenly.
A beam of golden light flashed.
Beneath her feet, a golden road materialized, stretching endlessly to the edge of the boundless void.
Immediately following, streaks of Golden Starlight shot into the sky, illuminating the void of the universe, and a starlight avenue stretched out, traversing the cosmos.
At the very end of this golden road, a radiant sun hangs high in the sky, exuding an aura of eternity and immortality.
Before her appeared a prayer mat.
This futon is crystal clear, shimmering with a chaotic light.
Xiao Minghuang lowered her head, glanced at the prayer mat, but ignored it.
She looked up at the sun-like object, her expression extremely solemn.
"Finally..."
She took a step, kicked the prayer mat aside, and walked on the golden road, heading towards that eternal, blazing sun.
"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor... what exactly is she planning to do!?"
"My God!"
What lies at the end of that road?
Countless creatures stared wide-eyed, gasping for breath, as if they had seen a ghost.
They could guess that at the end of that road might be the goal that countless people mention, admire, and pursue every day.
The Great Way!
That is the manifestation of the Great Way in the world!
However.
At this moment, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor showed no respect for the manifestation of the Great Dao and rushed straight toward Him.
They didn't know what Xiao Minghuang was trying to do.
Is this a provocation against the Great Dao, or an attempt to defy fate?!
"Emperor Ziwei, you... you've gone mad?!"
Countless living beings were utterly horrified and speechless. The actions of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor were utterly shocking to them!
"In this battle, the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor won, but he also angered the Great Dao and crossed its bottom line."
"The celestial realm was struck and collapsed, halting the Great Collapse process. This is beneficial to the Great Dao, but disrespecting the Great Dao is a sin that cannot be atoned even by a hundred deaths!"
"The Great Way must not be offended, profaned, looked at directly, or shown the slightest disrespect!"
However, Xiao Minghuang completely ignored these creatures.
She moved at a moderate pace, stepping across the golden road and traversing countless star systems.
Finally.
Xiao Minghuang remained above the Milky Way.
Looking up, I saw the blazing sun.
It seemed to come alive, radiating billions of Rosy Clouds, and bursting forth with incomparably hot heat.
In an instant, the entire universe and all living beings felt as if their bodies were melting.
It was an endless, scorching heat, as if even the soul itself had been burned away.
In an instant, Xiao Minghuang's eyes flashed with dazzling light, revealing his complete understanding.
"Great Dao, come out and see me!"
Xiao Minghuang's voice was icy, carrying an air of domineering arrogance that resounded throughout the universe.
Her tone was filled with intense killing intent; every word she uttered resonated in the ears of countless beings, causing their hearts to pound wildly and making them feel as if they were about to suffocate.
At that moment, a thought arose in their minds:
601. The universe collapses, old friends meet again.
Could it be that the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor is truly about to overturn the rules of the cosmic era?
Rumble!
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire universe suddenly exploded, unleashing billions of bolts of lightning that struck her.
Xiao Minghuang lightly raised her jade hand, and unparalleled sword intent surged between her fingers, slashing towards the depths of the starry river.
Boom!
Countless stars exploded, and rolling thunder swept across, engulfing the entire starry sky!
But in the next instant, the lightning suddenly solidified, transforming into lightning runes that imprinted themselves on the inside and outside of the galaxy, forming an array-patterned prison that sealed the galaxy.
"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor... actually dares to confront the Great Dao head-on!"
"This... this is practically suicide!"
"How dare you defy the Great Dao! You deserve to die!"
Many gods and immortals, as well as creatures of all races, were shocked, and many wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Although they didn't know why the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor had challenged the Great Dao, this outcome was undoubtedly good news for them.
The Great Dao is the true master, the truly supreme Dao!
Even celestial beings and heavenly emperors cannot disobey it.
Because it is the true Dao, the sole ruler, the beginning and the end of everything, from the very beginning of the universe to the present day, countless ages ago!
"Xiao Minghuang, you shouldn't have provoked me."
Above the void, a vast and ethereal voice, like an ancient and sacred one, slowly resounded.
The voice was indifferent and ruthless, as if it had existed since time immemorial, sending chills down one's spine.
As the sound spread, a terrifying aura, indescribable, invisible, and imperceptible to the mind, quietly descended.
Endless divine light burst forth, illuminating the entire primordial void.
A majestic and boundless figure appeared, bathed in endless radiance, standing tall in the highest heavens.
That figure stood high above, overlooking the vast universe and the endless sea of stars.
This is the manifestation of the Great Dao, representing the most pinnacle and perfect projection, a clone of will, of the entire universe and even the entire era.
This figure sat high above the clouds, as if it were an ancient celestial court, reigning over the eight directions and six realms, ruling over all things, and its power overwhelming all around.
Surrounding it are endless chains of order, raining down endless light that envelops the entire void and seals everything.
The brilliant Rosy Clouds descends, illuminating the entire world.
This power is immense, surpassing all gods and living beings!
Even a powerful Immortal Venerable would not be able to muster the slightest thought of resistance when faced with such an embodiment of the Great Dao!
"You're very brave."
The Great Dao avatar spoke calmly.
Xiao Minghuang stood in the cosmic starry sky, calmly looking at the enormous body, without responding.
The figure was enveloped in dense, chaotic energy, making it impossible to discern its form.
"However, I like it."
The Great Dao avatar spoke calmly.
"Um?"
Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly, unable to understand the intention of the Great Dao.
"Great Dao, your era has come to an end. Everything has its own cause and effect, and you have no right to interfere."
Xiao Minghuang's voice was clear and cold, yet contained an infinite sharpness.
If anyone else had said that, they would have been killed long ago.
But Xiao Minghuang's words did not anger the Great Dao Avatar; it merely shook its head and said, "You are wrong."
"All things? The universe? They exist only because of me. Their sole value lies in perpetuating my existence."
"Perhaps it's because I've been absent from the world for so long that they've developed inappropriate thoughts, but that doesn't matter, since you've already helped me correct everything... What about the Immortal Sealing Scroll?"
The gaze of the Dao incarnate was as deep and unfathomable as it looked at Xiao Minghuang.
The next moment.
A gleaming golden scroll shot out from Xiao Minghuang's body and hung in the void.
At this moment, the Immortal Sealing Scroll has already been inscribed with the names of countless immortals.
Taishang Heavenly Venerable...
Daluo Heavenly Venerable...
Heavenly Venerable Chiyang...
These names were none other than the countless celestial immortals who had been slain by Xiao Minghuang.
Admittedly, Xiao Minghuang did not want to follow in the footsteps of the Heavenly Emperor Li Luoshang, but the development of the situation forced her to do something almost exactly the same as the Heavenly Emperor.
The next moment.
The Immortal Sealing Scroll has disappeared.
"Your mission is complete. From this moment forward, you are the new ruler of the universe, the new Heavenly Emperor."
The Great Dao manifested in a faint voice.
Before he could finish speaking...
A ball of brilliant golden light condensed and enveloped Xiao Minghuang.
