The immortal-path powerhouse flew into a rage, and terrifying pressure filled the entire Ancient God World Cluster.
Heaven and earth overturned. Rivers of stars rolled backward.
Every living being fell into boundless terror, as though the end of the world had come. The heavens and earth dimmed, and even the exalted Divine Lords of Dao Integration trembled as if they had fallen into an abyss.
"He... he..."
In the Heavenly Secret Domain, Tianji Daoist jolted awake from seclusion. His body shook, his eyes filled with fear, and he dimly recalled account after account from his sect's history.
It was all too familiar. Today, it had appeared once more.
"The Great Sun Sword Lord's final days!"
"The final days when all hope of pursuing the Dao is lost, and he descends into madness and destruction!"
"How could this happen to him?!!"
Azurewood Daoist Heir Ji Liuyue spoke through her trembling.
Her voice was full of disbelief, her face deathly pale. She had glimpsed a terrifying future.
Throughout history, this scene had played out again and again in the Nine Spirits Domain.
Whenever a Great Sun Sword Lord reached the peak of Void Refining and neared the end of his lifespan, he descended into madness and destruction. He slaughtered every powerful being he could find, from Nascent Soul to Void Refining, sparing no one as he frantically chased the faint, almost invisible hope of advancement.
He was like a creature dying of thirst in the middle of the sea, with not a shred of reason left.
But!
This generation's Great Sun Sword Lord was only at late-stage Void Refining!
He could still advance to Dao Integration, ascend to Celestial, even pursue that supreme realm bordering on immortality. He was still so young. Why would he despair?
Why would he descend into madness?!
