Undying!

In the All Wonders Heaven, the newly born Blood Sea Fruition Status, like a blood moon, hangs silently in the vast void.

Its appearance caused a faint ripple to spread across this eternally unchanging heaven.

The ripples were very light, as subtle as a speck of dust thrown into a vast ocean, or a gentle breeze that swept across an ancient river.

But it is this subtle, almost imperceptible influence.

But it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This became the catalyst that ignited the awakening of the True Lord.

The battlefield below, and the sky above.

Within the ranks of the Hao Ran Holy Land, the old man with white hair and beard, dressed in an ancient Confucian robe, suddenly focused his cloudy eyes, which contained all the wisdom of the past and present.

That stillness lasted only a moment.

But in that instant, the madness and murderous intent in his eyes receded like the tide, replaced by vast expanses of clarity!

"This is----"

Sage Wang's lips moved slightly, and a look of disbelief and horror flashed in his eyes, which had regained their clarity.

He looked up at the group of True Lord still confronting each other in the sky, at his right hand that had almost made a move, and at the terrifying killing intent that permeated the heavens and earth, enough to drive any True Lord mad.

A chill ran through him.

In the same instant!

From the direction of the Sword Pavilion, Qingyuan True Lord Wendao's eyes, clear as an infant yet deep as a sword abyss, also narrowed!

That stillness was faster and sharper than that of the Sage Wang, like a sword light slicing through the chaos!

The Sword Intent Sword Intent surrounding him, which had originally soared into the sky and was about to cut through everything, suddenly subsided at this moment!

He lowered his eyes, looking at his right hand resting on the hilt of the sword, at the sword that was almost drawn from its sheath.

The knuckles were bluish-white.

But he himself was completely unaware.

Something's not right—

Qingyuan True Lord Wendao in a low voice, which was not loud, but had a clear and resonant quality.

He looked up at the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord, the Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord, the Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord, and at the figures who were still confronting each other, but were beginning to show subtle changes.

The clarity in my eyes is growing stronger.

Meanwhile, in the direction of the Wuji Sacred Sect, the eyes of the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord, which had frozen all things, also trembled violently at that instant!

In that tremor, there was bewilderment after the madness faded, palpitations after the bewilderment, and a bone-chilling cold after the palpitations. He remembered the words he had just spoken.

"Sink this Xuanhuang Home Realm?"

Would the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord say such a thing?

The clarity in my eyes has been completely restored!

"Someone—"

He spoke slowly, his voice low and heavy with disbelief. "It's affecting us!"

Almost at the same instant that the three True Lord awoke, in the All Wonders Heaven.

In the vast, boundless, and eternally unchanging depths of the void, in the ultimate darkness that even the light of Fruition Status cannot illuminate, lies a darkness beyond which even the light of a high-ranking being cannot be seen.

A human silhouette slowly emerged.

The outline was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

It seemed to exist yet not exist, seemingly there yet not there, as if it were merely a lingering remnant wandering here, or perhaps a projection from a place even more ancient and fundamental than the All Wonders Heaven.

He stood there quietly in the void, with no aura emanating from him and no Daoist energy flowing around him.

Clearly, I am in the midst of All Wonders Heaven, clearly standing among those high-hanging Fruition Status.

But those Fruition Status, those fundamental symbols representing the highest existence in this world, were not for him.

To ignore it.

The moment the three True Lord awoke.

The figure slowly opened its eyes.

Those eyes were a pale gold color.

It seemed to encompass the entire universe and contain the vast world.

Between the opening and closing of the eyes, the sun, moon, and stars rise and fall, countless worlds are born and destroyed, and endless threads of cause and effect intertwine, entwine, and break.

He just stared at it.

Looking at the Blood Sea Fruition Status in the All Wonders Heaven, which had just risen and was now trembling slightly.

Gazing at that crimson figure, now enshrined in the Fruition Status, who had just achieved enlightenment.

His lips did not move.

But a voice resounded directly above the Blood Sea Fruition Status, echoing deep within the Youquan's true spirit.

Illusory, ethereal, yet as weighty as an ancient sacred mountain: "You've ruined my game—"

"I cannot keep you here—"

The moment the words fell!

The next moment!

The true spirit that Youquan had just entrusted to the Fruition Status suddenly felt an indescribable and immense crisis!

The crisis did not come from a certain direction, nor from a certain entity, but from—

In all directions!

From the entire All Wonders Heaven!

It was as if the entire world had suddenly come to regard him as their mortal enemy!

"Boom-!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying force crashed down from nothingness!

That power was vast, terrifying, and irresistible.

Even the newly enlightened Youquan felt a tremor originating from the deepest part of his true spirit!

That's a crushing defeat in terms of status!

That was a higher and more fundamental existence than True Lord, and it exerted absolute suppression on him, a newly promoted True Lord!

He didn't even have time to react, to activate the Avici Yuantu, or to mobilize the power of the Blood Sea.

An immense force has descended!

"Laugh----"

A soft sound.

So subtle as to be almost imperceptible, yet it resonated clearly throughout the All Wonders Heaven, above every Fruition Status, and deep within the true spirit of every True Lord.

The Blood Sea True Lord, who had just attained enlightenment, was erased by some indescribable being in that instant!

This dramatic change happened in an instant.

It was like a bucket of ice-cold water poured over the hearts of every True Lord who had not yet fully awakened!

Suddenly, an unprecedentedly brilliant divine light erupted from the eyes of the Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord, eyes that had frozen all things!

The Sword Intent Qingyuan True Lord Wendao to the sky, and the ancient sword that had never been drawn from its sheath rang out with a resounding clang!

Behind the Sage Wang, the ancient scroll phantom of the Hao Ran Holy Land suddenly unfolded, and countless sage articles transformed into golden light, illuminating half of the sky!

The three Fruition Status shone brightly simultaneously in All Wonders Heaven!

Like three suns rising simultaneously, illuminating that eternally dark, supreme void.

Wherever the light passed, the eerie aura that enveloped the All Wonders Heaven was forcibly torn open with cracks!

And under the impact of this massive force.

Those True Lord who had not yet fully awakened finally awoke all at once!

They looked at each other, gazing at the lingering madness in each other's eyes, and at their own near-assault stance just moments before.

A bone-chilling coldness exploded in the hearts of all the True Lord at the same time!

They actually----

They fell into the trap without even realizing it!

In the All Wonders Heaven.

The silhouette of that figure gazed at the Fruition Status that were now shining brightly, at the True Lord and True Spirits that had been fully awakened. A very faint, almost imperceptible fluctuation flashed deep within his pale golden eyes.

Within that fluctuation, there was surprise, solemnity, and also a trace of—indescribable regret.

Then, the outline began to slowly fade away.

It was as if it had never existed.

It was as if it were just an illusion.

But in that final moment, those pale golden eyes remained fixed on Youquan's Blood Sea Fruition Status.

It was as if he was remembering the one who dared to disrupt his game.

Then it completely dissipated.

In the All Wonders Heaven, those brightly shining Fruition Status gradually calmed down.

However, the true spirits of all the True Lord were still immersed in the thrilling scene just now, unable to calm down for a long time.

"[Above the True Lord]----"

Qingyuan True Lord Wendao spoke slowly, his clear, childlike eyes gazing in the direction where the figure had disappeared. His right hand, gripping the sword hilt, tightened slightly. "I never imagined that we—would one day become pawns."

The Wudao Extreme Dharma True Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes, which seemed like still water, held only a bottomless calm.

But beneath that calm, undercurrents were surging.

He slowly began, "It seems our previous assumptions were all wrong—"

He paused slightly, a faint, almost solemn light flashing deep within his eyes: "Welcome them back—"

"It's clearly a dead end, and a complete and utter dead end at that."

Upon hearing this, the Sage Wang nodded slightly.

A hint of emotion appeared on that aged face.

He gazed at the Blood Sea Fruition Status in the All Wonders Heaven, which was still slowly rotating, and at the figure that had been erased from that Fruition Status. A complex light flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

"Well----"

He sighed softly, "What a pity for that fellow Daoist—"

"If he hadn't risked his life to awaken us----"

"Xuanhuang, that's it."

Upon hearing this, All Wonders Heaven fell silent.

All the True Lord looked towards the Blood Sea Fruition Status without prior agreement.

That Fruition Status, which had just attained enlightenment and should have enjoyed eternal glory.

silence.

A long silence.

"Pity----"

The Nine Revolutions Undying True Lord murmured to himself, a complex light flashing in his golden eyes.

The Nine Nethers Sun-Devouring True Lord did not speak, but his eerie green eyes gazed deeply at the Blood Sea Fruition Status.

The other True Lord also remained silent.

Yes, it's a pity.

It's a pity that the fellow Daoist who had just attained enlightenment paid such a heavy price to awaken them.

Unfortunately, they didn't even get a clear look at the face of the person who made the move.

pity----

At this moment of slight emotion and everyone was silent.

Amidst the All Wonders Heaven, a resounding voice pierced through the clouds and shattered the rocks, vast and mighty!

"Heaven and earth punish me to prove my existence; the Avici Yuantu accompany the true path."

Through countless tribulations, one refines one's true nature; through nine deaths and one life, one proves the profound truth.

He ascended to the throne amidst All Wonders Heaven, and proved the root of the Dao on the river of time.

Even if Gods and Devils unleash their poisonous hand, the Blood Sea will endure forever!

The moment the poem was recited, the entire All Wonders Heaven trembled!

The Blood Sea- red phantom suddenly surged and churned, seemingly about to break free from the constraints of the All Wonders Heaven and spread towards the Long River of Time below and towards every corner of the Xuanhuang Home Realm!

And in the center of that Blood Sea.

The newly promoted True Lord who had been forcibly erased was now visibly reforming amidst the raging Blood Sea!

Little by little, inch by inch, minute by minute -

What was erased has returned!

What was stripped away has been reborn!

That which should have vanished is now standing in the All Wonders Heaven, with Avici in its left hand and Yuantu in its right, its body surrounded by surging Blood Sea phantoms, looking down upon all living beings!

Youquan stood atop the Blood Sea Fruition Status, his body shimmering with crimson light, having fully recovered.

He lowered his eyes slightly, looking down at the battlefield below, where the confrontation was still ongoing but no longer frenzied, and at the deep blue figure standing with his hands behind his back.

The figure remained standing silently in the void, his deep blue Daoist robe motionless.

But those vast, azure-gold eyes were now slightly raised, meeting Youquan's gaze across the endless void.

A sinister smile slowly crept onto Youquan's lips.

He raised his two swords.

The Avici Hell resounded, Yuantu howled.

He gazed in the direction where the figure's silhouette had disappeared, gazing into the ultimate darkness that was even deeper and more unfathomable than the All Wonders Heaven.

Within his blood-red eyes burned an unprecedentedly brilliant crimson light.

"The matter of today."

"I have noted it down."

"The future is long, Youquan remains."

"You will surely be richly rewarded!"
