Everyone stared at the beautiful fireworks that had yet to fade completely, too stunned to speak!
Earlier, the Lord of the Divine Ruins had been slain with a single palm strike before even getting a chance to undergo ultimate sublimation!
And now, even after ultimate sublimation, the Abandoned Heaven Supreme had failed to withstand a single palm strike, his body and soul annihilated outright!
The gap in raw power was simply too vast. It was an utterly one-sided crushing!
How shocking, how surreal!
Before ultimate sublimation, one palm strike!
After ultimate sublimation, still one palm strike!
The Stone Emperor and the other forbidden-zone Supremes felt chilled to the bone. Now, however unwillingly, they had no choice but to accept one fact.
Lu Chen, standing before them, had to be an immortal-a true immortal!
At that thought, greed instead surfaced in the Stone Emperor's pitch-black, hollow eyes!
An immortal!
A genuine immortal!
If I can devour his flesh raw and drink his immortal blood, I will surely advance even further, surpassing the imperial realm and becoming an immortal in this mortal world!
At that thought, the Stone Emperor's eyes turned red. He roared, "All of you, undergo ultimate sublimation! Today, I will slay an immortal!"
The instant the Stone Emperor finished speaking, the remaining Light-Dark Supreme, Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum, and Firmament Tyrant Body decisively underwent ultimate sublimation!
In an instant, four Heavenly Heart Marks from different eras manifested in the starry sky. Boundless divine radiance suppressed the myriad Daos, and galaxy after galaxy exploded, reduced to dust!
Their vast, boundless imperial might swept across the entire universe, suppressing all the laws of the Great Dao!
At this moment, four Great Emperor-level beings had descended!
"This... Senior..."
Ye Fan's brows knitted tightly. This sight was too terrifying. Four flawless Great Emperors stood together in the same era, something rarely seen even in the Mythological Era, when the laws of the Great Dao were complete. Could Senior Heavenly Dao withstand them?
Humans across the great star domains knelt on the ground, praying ceaselessly for Lu Chen.
"Kill!"
"Today, I will accomplish the great feat of slaying an immortal!"
"Devour him, and we will glimpse the secret of eternal life!"
"I will become an immortal!"
The four flawless Great Emperors had gone utterly mad. Exerting every ounce of their strength, they attacked Lu Chen together!
Lu Chen said nothing at all, merely watching everything with a cold gaze.
Brilliant golden light shone deep within his pupils. He invoked the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the entire Shrouding the Heavens World shook violently.
Within a chaotic space somewhere in the Shrouding the Heavens World, a woman with a sacred aura abruptly rose. Shock appeared in eyes that had shown no emotional fluctuation for countless ages!
She was the Heavenly Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens World, and at this moment, she actually sensed another Heavenly Dao appearing in her world!
Lu Chen noticed the change and smiled. "Heh, found you. So quick to lose your composure?"
As his words fell, he swung out a palm!
Boom!
Divine Heavenly Dao radiance surged like a boundless ocean, overwhelming the heavens through the ages, devouring everything and pulverizing everything!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four explosions rang out in succession!
The Lord of the Immortal Mausoleum, the Light-Dark Supreme, the Firmament Tyrant Body, and the Stone Emperor shattered within the divine ocean of the Heavenly Dao. Their bodies and souls were annihilated, bursting into four fireworks, only to be swallowed by the waves an instant later, never to exist again!
With that, the most terrifying dark upheaval in history ended!
"Thank goodness, it's over! Everything is over!"
"Does this mean there won't ever be another dark upheaval? Sob..."
"It's like a dream. The dark upheaval came so quickly and ended just as quickly..."
"We... we're still alive?"
Thunderous cheers erupted across the great star domains. Countless human survivors embraced and wept, celebrating having endured the dark upheaval and survived.
They had truly experienced how precious life was, and their resolve to attain the Dao grew all the firmer!
Cultivators should be like that immortal from the heavens, establishing peace for all generations!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless thunderous sounds rose into the sky!
Seven-colored divine light illuminated half the universe!
Ye Fan looked over and discovered that countless people had broken through!
There was a saying: without destruction, there could be no renewal; only after breaking could one build anew.
These cultivators had experienced the dark upheaval. That was the breaking.
They had then survived the dark upheaval. That was the rebuilding.
Their resolve to attain the Dao had grown firmer. With their minds clear and unobstructed, their breakthroughs came naturally.
Lu Chen ended the group livestream and said to Ye Fan, "Kid Ye, wait here a moment. I'll be right back."
Ye Fan nodded. "Yes, Senior."
Lu Chen transformed into a streak of divine light and vanished in an instant.
Within an unknown space, boundless chaos churned, and not a single living creature existed.
Crack!
Just then, a piercing shattering sound rang out, like a labyrinth of prisms breaking into countless pieces.
The next moment, divine radiance flooded in. Lu Chen had found the Heavenly Dao of the Shrouding the Heavens World and stepped straight inside.
A sacred, noble woman was watching him.
Lu Chen gave a warm smile and spoke first. "Heavenly Dao of Shrouding the Heavens, pleased to meet you."
"Heavenly Dao of another world, why have you done this?"
The Heavenly Dao of Shrouding the Heavens-hereafter referred to as Shrouding the Heavens-spoke in an ethereal voice, a trace of anger in her beautiful eyes.
Moreover, she could sense that the fated villains she had arranged had already been erased by this unfamiliar Heavenly Dao before her, destroyed at their very roots. Even as the Heavenly Dao, she could not resurrect them.
"You are no match for me. Submit to me and offer me your Heavenly Dao essence. I can elevate you and make you stronger. Otherwise, die."
The warm smile never left Lu Chen's face, but his words sent a chill into the heart.
"A Heavenly Dao may die in battle, but never submit."
Frost covered Shrouding the Heavens' fair, beautiful face. With an angry shout, she attacked outright, manifesting countless laws of the Great Dao!
Boom!
The entire void trembled as immense quantities of Heavenly Dao power formed a golden battle axe!
It was the Heavenly Dao Battle Axe, wreathed in Heavenly Dao laws and capable of cleaving through anything. Now, it swung down toward Lu Chen!
Lu Chen shook his head and released his own Heavenly Dao power, shattering the Heavenly Dao Battle Axe outright!
Shrouding the Heavens was inwardly startled. Though it had only been a probing strike, it could have slaughtered flawless Great Emperors like dogs, yet the Heavenly Dao of this unknown world had casually neutralized it.
She knew that unless she attacked with all her strength, she might truly be devoured!
Boom!
A terrifying explosion rang out!
The entire chaotic void shattered outright, collapsing into an utterly pitch-black longsword that slashed straight at Lu Chen!
Not a trace of the chaotic energy contained within leaked out, nor were the countless surrounding galaxies destroyed by it. Thus, the sword strike looked entirely ordinary, as though it possessed no power at all.
Yet the chaotic energy contained within represented the limit of the Shrouding the Heavens World. Even a Red Dust Immortal standing at the pinnacle of that world would be slain and utterly erased!
Lu Chen shook his head. It was too weak.
This sword strike was only equivalent to an all-out attack from a Beyond-Single-Universe-level powerhouse, barely reaching the lower threshold of multiverse-level.
He raised his hand, manifesting Heavenly Dao power. Divine light of order formed a gigantic golden fist that smashed toward the Heavenly Dao Sword!
Boom!
Boundless divine radiance swept outward, and terrifying power shattered the chaotic space!
At that moment, every cultivator in the Shrouding the Heavens World saw a dazzling burst of golden light erupt from the deepest reaches of the universe!
