Chapter 522
Immediately, Xiao Minghuang's expression changed.
She could sense that this golden light contained an immense and powerful force, which she could easily absorb.
Once she merges with it, she will surely be able to take the most crucial step and achieve an unimaginable and indescribable supreme realm beyond the Immortal Venerable!
"I refuse."
After a long silence, Xiao Minghuang shook her head in refusal.
Her voice was strong and resolute.
"Um?"
The Great Dao's incarnation's gaze sharpened, seemingly quite surprised.
He hadn't expected Xiao Minghuang to refuse. This was an opportunity and fortune belonging to a Heavenly Emperor, enough to fend off the covetousness of countless cultivators. Why would Xiao Minghuang refuse?
Why?
The Great Dao incarnate asked the question once more.
"Because you don't deserve it."
Xiao Minghuang gazed at the embodiment of the Great Dao, uttering five words slowly and deliberately, silencing the entire universe.
"The so-called Great Dao is nothing more than a parasite that lives on the universe and all living beings. It can only maintain its own operation and survive to this day by depending on these two."
"Without the Great Dao, or rather, without a Great Dao Will like yours, the universe and all living beings would have a brighter future!"
"So, in your eyes, I'm just a parasite."
The Great Dao's avatar's eyes flickered, its voice remaining indifferent. It sighed softly, seemingly disappointed by Xiao Minghuang's judgment, but not angry. "Since that's the case, then let's find someone else!"
The next instant, the Great Dao manifested and struck out with a palm, a gigantic hand that covered the entire universe, suppressing her.
Boom!
Boundless light burst forth, intensely bright, sweeping across all directions and engulfing the universe.
At this moment, whether they were powerful figures from all corners of the world or ordinary people, everyone felt this destructive fluctuation!
"Run! The sky is falling!"
"What is the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor up to now?!"
"She has defied the Great Dao Will, and we will die too!"
"Damn the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor!"
"This woman has gone mad! She dares to defy even the Great Dao Will! Isn't she afraid of divine retribution?"
This scene sparked panic, with countless people roaring and cursing.
However, all of this is utterly meaningless.
Countless creatures cried out in agony, fleeing frantically in terror.
Many more people looked up, gazing in a daze at the endless radiance that flowed across the sky.
Some even knelt down, praying for the Great Way to forgive them.
This disaster was absolutely horrible!
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded through the sky, tearing the heavens apart.
Click!
A dazzling starlight streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness.
In an instant, countless dazzling stars appeared, piercing the void and falling into the sea of stars!
Each star was like a majestic mountain, its entire body shrouded in Immortal Light, radiating an aura of boundless terror.
This is an absolutely magnificent scene.
"The Ziwei Heavenly Emperor has gone mad! She's fighting against the Great Dao Will!"
"Don't take us with you when you die!"
"Crazy woman! Absolutely insane!"
Countless stars fell, shattering the endless Milky Way.
Stars exploded and shattered, releasing billions of rays of light.
Boom!
Rumble!
Countless stars exploded, and terrifying brilliance spread in all directions, as if a great sun had descended, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
This is a true catastrophe.
The entire universe trembled, and countless star fields swayed.
Milky Ways were torn apart, meteorites exploded, and stars were shattered, plunging the entire universe into an apocalyptic scene.
Rumble.
Starlight fell, boundless and endless, like a waterfall cascading down, piercing through ancient planets.
Mushroom clouds rose one after another into the sky, ancient worlds of life collapsed one after another, and countless lives screamed and vanished between heaven and earth.
Vast swathes of the universe have been reduced to ruins, barren and desolate.
Countless creatures wept, cried for help, grieved, and wailed, but to no avail.
"That despicable Ziwei Heavenly Emperor, why did he provoke the Great Dao Will?!"
"The calamity that claimed countless lives is entirely the fault of the Purple Star Heavenly Emperor!"
"The Purple Star Heavenly Emperor truly deserves to be torn to pieces and never be reincarnated!"
Countless creatures roared, their hatred reaching the heavens.
However, it was too late.
The endless star field trembled.
The universe is swaying.
Countless worlds, large and small, have shattered.
After the heavens collapsed, all star fields also faced a great calamity.
The catastrophe swept everything, and no living being could escape it.
The only exception might be the Jingyun Star Domain.
Within the Jingyun Star Domain, more than twenty Immortal Venerables were stationed, using their extraordinary powers to isolate all the terrifying aftershocks outside the starfield.
Furthermore, to prevent the aftermath of the battle from escalating to an uncontrollable level.
Within a few hours, the Jingyun Star Domain had gradually completed its evacuation and relocated to a new home that had been prepared in Outer Deep Space.
During the evacuation, countless people witnessed:
The brilliant Rosy Clouds illuminated the universe. The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei and the incarnation of the Great Dao fought fiercely to the edge of the cosmos, causing chaos and darkness. The sun and moon lost their light, the universe collapsed, and the order of the universe was disrupted, creating an unprecedented storm of chaos.
"Oh my god!"
"We left in such a hurry that we didn't take a single treasure with us!"
Many living beings wanted to cry but had no tears, their hearts bleeding with heartache.
"It's a miracle we even survived..."
"Do you think we can go back?"
Can the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor win?
Many people are filled with anxiety.
Among the migrating group, Immortal Venerable Qing Guang, Xiao Xingruo, and others walked at the very back.
Suddenly, Xiao Xingruo stopped in her tracks, gazed at the boundless starry sky, and flew swiftly in the opposite direction.
"Xingruo, where are you going?"
Seeing this, Immortal Venerable Qing Guang quickly gave chase.
"Mom is in danger, I need to go help her!"
"Don't go, trust your mother, she'll be fine!"
"... Aunt A Yue, you don't understand."
Although only a few days have passed, Xiao Xingruo has grown a lot.
At this moment, she had grown up to be a young woman of sixteen or seventeen, with delicate and beautiful features, and her whole body was shrouded in a hazy, clear light, like a fairy descended from heaven.
Furthermore, compared to before, she has matured considerably and is no longer the naive little girl who was ignorant of the ways of the world.
"Xingruo!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Guang was extremely anxious and tried to intercept her, but he was too late and she disappeared into the vast starry river.
"Sigh, the kids are all grown up..."
Immortal Venerable Qing Guang shook his head with a wry smile.
The next moment.
Another streak of light shot out from behind her.
"Xiao Ying, how could you be here too! Come back here!"
"Immortal Venerable Qing Guang shouted anxiously."
"A Yue, don't worry, I will persuade Xingruo to come back!"
Xiao Ying's voice came, and then her figure disappeared completely.
At this moment, in the boundless starry sky, sparks raged, and the Great Dao Will and the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor fought fiercely, piercing through the endless universe, reaching the cosmic barrier, and then entering another parallel spacetime...
Rumble!
The entire universe seemed to have become their battlefield, with spacetime completely disrupted, and all sorts of strange forces erupting, destroying everything.
"Pfft!"
A sword light swept past, and the Great Dao Avatar spat out a mouthful of blood, its body trembling violently as it staggered backward.
Opposite him stood the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor in the void, but his hair was disheveled, his body was covered in blood, and his clothes were tattered, making him look like a beggar.
Her face was deathly pale, and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth; she was clearly seriously injured.
But she stood tall and proud, her gaze unwavering.
"It's time to end this!"
The Heavenly Emperor Ziwei snorted coldly, his voice revealing unparalleled confidence.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei grasped a divine sword and swung it out.
In an instant, the countless stars vanished, transforming into terrifying sword lights that converged into a dazzling torrent of Sword Qi.
With a single sword strike, the universe fell silent!
The Purple Star Heavenly Sword struck the body of the Great Dao incarnation, instantly producing a metallic clang, sparks flying, and a resounding clashing.
Rumble!!!
The chaotic energy that had been entwining the Great Dao's incarnation vanished instantly, revealing its true form.
It was a tall and imposing figure, its body like a mountain, its eyes pitch black, filled with a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down one's spine and filled one with fear and unease.
However, upon seeing this appearance, Xiao Minghuang's expression froze for a moment. She felt as if she had seen this face before.
