The Great Sage Descends!
Its terrifying power was earth-shattering.
The four beams of light converged in the Void.
At the point of convergence, the Void began to collapse.
Countless Void cracks in the void spread wildly in all directions.
The cracks widened and deepened until they broke apart, revealing a bottomless, dark abyss behind them.
Within that black hole, countless terrifying auras rumbled.
Those auras were profound and mysterious, as if some ancient being was watching them!
At the same time, numerous mysterious and powerful forces surged, collided, and roared deep within the black hole, creating invisible ripples that spread wildly in all directions.
As the ripples passed, the thick fog of the Ancestral Mountain was shaken into nothingness, and the starlight in the sky began to distort.
Even the Immortal Ranking, which hung high in the Void, trembled violently at this moment, and the names on the Immortal Ranking flickered, as if they would shatter at any moment.
"Such power is truly astonishing!"
"Even True Lord is probably no different."
Emperor Daye was astonished and looked up in surprise.
At the same time, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"This may be the power of the Great Sage's true form, so formidable."
With such power, the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family might truly dare not refine this Cave Heaven any further!
Chen Lingxi up and felt that everything in the world had changed, but the only thing that remained unchanged was probably the Twin Luminous Mirrors in the sky!
In the Total Perception, the bright mirror, as clear as the sun and the moon, still hangs high, unchanged.
The radiance it emitted remained as mysterious as ever.
"The power within the Divine Chamber is even more terrifying than this immense force."
Chen Lingxi a deep breath.
Right now.
An unimaginable aura was born from that black hole.
That energy was too powerful, too ancient.
It was as if the sediment of countless ages had been released in this moment.
When that energy descended, the entire Weiji Grotto-Heaven trembled.
The mountains and rivers trembled and surged backward, and even the sun, moon and stars hanging high in the sky dimmed under the impact of this force.
At that moment, a river surged forth from the depths of the black hole.
It was an ancient, roaring Long River, carrying unparalleled and immense power, which crashed down upon this Weiji Grotto-Heaven.
"The Luo Yuan River!"
Ying Xian looked up and was moved.
At this moment, the river water is a pale blue color, crystal clear to the extreme.
The river was incredibly wide, stretching as far as the eye could see. As the water surged, it stirred up towering waves, each wave containing terrifying power.
The waves crashed against the Void, producing a deep, resonant sound like a great bell, causing the entire Ancestral Mountain to tremble.
What's even more unsettling is that countless ancient runes are faintly visible floating and turning in the river. These runes are like stars embedded in the water, radiating a warm and bright silvery-white light.
The runes contain some ineffable principles of the universe; just one glance is enough to shake one's mind and cause one's Consciousness Sea to churn.
Immediately afterwards, the Long River began to steam.
Countless wisps of extremely dense water vapor rose slowly from the river surface, like a thin layer of pale blue gauze, enveloping the entire Long River.
The water vapor did not dissipate, but instead gathered wildly above the Long River, becoming denser and more solid, as if an invisible hand was kneading the water vapor in the Void, shaping it inch by inch.
First the head, then the shoulders and back, then the torso and limbs... Amidst the surging water vapor, an incomparably tall human figure slowly condensed and took shape above the Long River.
The figure was extremely tall, at least two or three heads taller than an average person.
She was surrounded by endless pale blue water ripples, which flowed around her like living things, making her look like an ancient goddess who had emerged from the ages.
Her face was blurred, obscured by the surging waves, with only a pair of deep, abyss-like eyes that were tightly closed.
She simply stood there, and the aura she naturally exuded caused the surrounding Void to distort and deform, the Ancestral Mountain's Three Peaks to tremble violently, and the raging Luo Yuan River to calm down, just as if a king had descended, and all things had to bow down and submit.
Just then, the radiance of the four great Immortal Pivot finally shone upon her!
Four distinct beams of light simultaneously descended upon the water vapor figure's brow, chest, Dantian, and limbs.
The next moment!
She slowly opened her eyes.
It was as if two silver suns rose simultaneously in her eye sockets, and wherever their light shone, everything else paled in comparison!
At the same time, the phantom of an even more vast and ancient Long River slowly emerged behind her!
The illusory Long River stretched for tens of thousands of miles, like a galaxy that had spanned eternity, flowing from the distant end of time and rushing toward the unknowable future.
The river surface was churning with waves, each wave containing a terrifying power capable of destroying the world.
Countless stars rise and fall in the river, like pearls embedded in the Long River, radiating a warm and bright ancient light.
"Luo Yuan... Great Sage!"
Emperor Daye took a deep breath.
Golden light also shone in Chen Lingxi's eyes.
"It seems the message in that drop of river water was correct; it is indeed the true form of the Great Sage. Moreover, the Great Sage's true form, which had been dormant due to the Immortal Capital War, has descended here and seems to have awakened."
He took a deep breath.
"With such a powerful expert in this Cave Heaven, that True Lord should no longer dare to refine the Weiji Grotto-Heaven."
Chen Lingxi's emotions were in turmoil.
Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, the crisis of the True Lord of the Quexing Xi Family refining the Cave Heaven in the World-Refining Furnace has been like a collapsing mountain, pressing down on his mind!
It made him unable to feel at ease at all.
The shadow of death loomed over him.
But now... everything seems to have taken a turn for the better.
"In this way, the Quexing Xi Family will no longer refine the Weiji Grotto-Heaven, and I can Opportunity Seeking leave the Weiji Grotto-Heaven and go to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm to fully embark on the path of cultivation."
"Perhaps one day, I too will be able to achieve the Golden Grotto, or even the True Lord realm!"
Chen Lingxi's gaze was intense, and her heart was filled with many expectations.
Emperor Daye Ying Xian the Daye era was probably the same.
The light in his eyes was more intense than ever before.
only...
The unexpected happened at that moment!
As the illusory image of the Long River appeared, the entire Void of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven began to tremble violently!
Chen Lingxi and Emperor Daye suddenly changed their expressions!
The next moment!
Cave Heaven!
It's starting to collapse!
The entire Cave Heaven collapsed at the same time!
Above the sky, the sun, moon, and stars, which had hung high for countless years, shattered almost simultaneously, turning into dust without a sound and dissipating into nothingness.
The surging sea of clouds was torn apart by an invisible force, like a piece of shredded silk, the fragments scattering in all directions and evaporating before they even hit the ground.
The mountains and rivers are silently turning to dust!
Those towering mountains, like sandcastles eroded by time for millions of years, have peeled away, crumbled, and vanished inch by inch!
Those meandering, rushing rivers, like shallow streams scorched by the blazing sun, dried up and evaporated at a visible speed, until even the riverbeds turned into dust.
Great rivers and mountains, mortal cities and towns, worldly dust and countless living beings, all turned to ashes...
Then it merged into that Long River.
The vast, illusory Long River behind the true form of the Great Sage Luo Yuan was like a gluttonous beast that was never satisfied, devouring all the ashes, the dust, and the remaining energy.
With each portion it devoured, the illusory image of the Long River solidified a little more, while the Weiji Grotto-Heaven vanished even faster.
Chen Lingxi stood atop the Ancestral Mountain, side by side with Emperor Daye Ying Xian, Ying Xian.
The distant mountains are crumbling piece by piece, and then being swallowed up by the vast Long River.
"What... what's going on?"
Chen Lingxi was stunned.
Then...
Chen Lingxi also clearly realized that everything about her was collapsing.
The mysterious patterns on the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform were crumbling inch by inch, and the Thunder-Prison Profound Root was trembling wildly under the impact of this terrifying power, Weiji Thunderlight had dimmed to the point of almost going out.
The Dao Origin within his body is dissipating at a visible rate!
His physical body was the same; his muscles disintegrated and his flesh dissolved!
Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Daye era was also having a difficult time.
The gray-white mist surrounding him, formed from the great Divine Ability of the Heavenly Decline Method, was like a drop in the ocean compared to such world-destroying power.
The Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation around him were flashing wildly, trying to dissolve the destructive power surging into his body. However, the destructive power was too vast and too domineering, and the Mountains-and-Rivers Grand Formation collapsed in less than half a breath.
His Dao Platform shattered inch by inch, and the two Profound Root of the Sundial Reversal and the Heavenly Decline Method turned to ashes!
"Luo Yuan World-Destruction..." Chen Lingxi murmured to herself.
He gazed at the collapsing heaven and earth, at the vast Long River that was swallowing everything, at the true form of the Great Sage Luo Yuan standing amidst the mist, his eyes as indifferent as ever...
The Cave Heaven shattered, and the aura emanating from the Great Sage Luo Yuan grew ever stronger and more terrifying!
"Great Sage Luo Yuan is refining the Daoist temple she nurtured in order to restore his power."
Chen Lingxi pursed her lips.
The resentment that had been building up in his eyes for countless years finally erupted into an uncontrollable rage.
"The True Lord intends to refine this realm."
The true form of the Great Sage Luo Yuan has awakened, and he too intends to devour the Cave Heaven!
Faced with such an existence, what chance do I, Chen Lingxi, a local cultivator, have?
The claim that the Great Sage Sage's incarnation would awaken and protect this world is false, as are the numerous signs of life... In the end, it's all just empty talk.
Emperor Daye sighed.
"Fellow Daoist!"
Chen Lingxi's body then vanished.
The same was true of Emperor Daye.
At that moment, the two bright mirrors in the sky, visible only to Chen Lingxi, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Total Perception, shattered!
The beams of light from the Twin Luminous Mirrors fell simultaneously, illuminating his body, which had turned to ashes!
As the light shifted, the entire world began to distort, crack, and disintegrate. Mountains and rivers reversed, pine forests turned to dust, and all things in heaven and earth were reduced to powder and vanished into nothingness.
