An Emperor Spills Blood, a Heaven-Tier Dimensional Strike, and the Demon Shadow's Final Counterattack

"How dare you, you brat!!!"

Faced with the King of Variants ' premeditated and time-defying deadly sneak attack, the Ancestor Taibai, though old, had his instinctive reaction as Emperor Realm fully activated within a fraction of a second!

"Boom!"

A pure and powerful sword aura surged from the ancestor's body, even forcefully repelling the Great Dao of this world. The ancestor's withered hand shot out like lightning, firmly gripping the demonic claw of the Variants king that was stabbing towards his chest!

"Click, click..."

The terrifying collision between the Emperor's True Power and the Emperor's demonic energy caused the space between the two to collapse wildly like a shattered mirror!

"Heh heh heh... Old man, you've got a quick reaction."

Although the King of the Variants was blocked, there was no panic in his eyes. His eyes, burning with eerie green demonic flames, were full of mockery. "Unfortunately, you are too old. And..."

"Pfft!"

Just as the ancestor was fighting with all his might against the king of the Variants.

The Variants sect leader, who had been kneeling on the ground "weeping and pleading," suddenly launched an attack! He suddenly produced a dark black dagger coated with high-dimensional demonic poison and viciously stabbed it into the ancestor's waist from behind!

"You... traitor! You've been corrupted too!"

The old ancestor's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He never imagined that the Taibai Sword Sect had long since become a demonic puppet controlled by Variants!

"Ancestor, times have changed." The Variants sect leader grinned maliciously as he drew his dagger, sending up a spray of black, poisonous blood. "Obey the baptism of divine blood and become your master's servant!"

Besieged on all sides and with the demonic poison entering his body, the aura of the Ancestor Taibai instantly weakened.

"You want me to be a monster's dog? Dream on!"

The ancestor was enraged and was about to unleash his imperial power to take the two monsters down with him.

At this critical moment!

"Whoosh!"

A dazzling stream of purple-gold light, accompanied by a terrifying sonic boom that tore through the Xukong, descended upon the forbidden area without warning!

Dongfang Yueming, accompanied by the three women and Abbess Jingxu, arrived as if breaking through the air!

"This is... the sect leader?! And there's Variants?!"

As soon as Abbess Jingxu landed, she witnessed that horrifying scene. When she saw the sect leader's half-face covered in scales and the shocking wounds on the ancestor's body, she instantly understood everything!

"You beast! You actually plotted against the Ancestor!" Abbess Jingxu was filled with grief and indignation, and was about to draw her sword and rush forward.

Don't waste your energy.

The old patriarch coughed up a mouthful of black blood, shook his head with a grim expression, and said, "The demonic poison has entered my heart meridian... I cannot hold on any longer."

He looked at Abbess Jingxu and Lu Qingxue, a hint of regret and resolve flashing in his eyes. "Qingxue, take your master and leave quickly! Leave the Sword Sect! I will fight to the death to hold them off..."

"Old man, still trying to play the hero at a time like this?"

The King of the Variants seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He released the Ancestor, turned his head to look at Dongfang Yueming and the others in mid-air, his eyes full of disdain and cruelty.

"Since they've all come to us, let's catch them all in one fell swoop. Don't let a single one escape!"

However.

Faced with the death threat of this Emperor Realm Variants.

Dongfang Yueming showed no panic whatsoever, and didn't even bother to waste a single word on them.

He simply raised his right hand.

"Noisy."

[Heaven-Grade Domain - The Great Thousand Chaos Creation Divine Domain]!

"Buzz--!!!"

In that instant, the entire back mountain of the Taibai Sword Sect seemed to be forcibly stripped from this world by an invisible hand of the creator!

Within this Absolute Domain belonging solely to Dongfang Yueming, the laws are reshaped, time is slowed down, and everything he believes should not exist will face the fate of being erased.

"What?! What kind of field is this?!"

The king of the Variants ' arrogant smile froze instantly. He was horrified to discover that his proud royal magic was operating extremely sluggishly in this domain, like frozen water!

"Die."

Dongfang Yueming coldly uttered a single word, his gaze fixed on the Variants sect leader below who was preparing to continue attacking the ancestor.

[Heaven Grade attack Divine Ability - Taixu Nirvana Chaos Sword Formation]!

"Sizzle!"

There was no rain of swords, only a thin, almost imperceptible chaotic sword aura. With the absolute support of the domain's laws, it ignored spatial distance and pierced directly through the Variants sect leader's brow!

"Bang!"

This Saint King Realm Variants puppet didn't even have time to react before its head exploded like a rotten watermelon!

Immediately afterwards.

The [Heart of the Alien Species] that the Variants Sect Master had been protecting so tightly was also shattered under the lock of Dongfang Yueming's Divine Sense, turning into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

Instantly kill the Saint King Variants!

Crush the Variants origin!

The entire forbidden area was deathly silent.

Ancestor Taibai stared blankly at the headless corpse, his mind a complete blank. He knew all too well how powerful that Variants sect leader was, yet this strange young man had crushed him like an ant!

"This... who is this reclusive emperor-level powerhouse?!" The old ancestor's heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

"You little beast! How dare you destroy my clone?!"

The king of the Variants finally reacted, and extreme rage and killing intent burst forth from its pupil-less eye sockets!

"Royal Domain - [Nine Nether Myriad Phenomena Realm]!"

The King of Variants roared, and the king-level Heart of the Alien Species within his body pounded wildly. A black demonic domain, powerful enough to devour heaven and earth, instantly opened up, attempting to rival Dongfang Yueming's Chaos Divine Domain!

"Young friend! We mustn't fight him head-on! He has already entered the Emperor Realm, and his domain power is terrifying! If we join forces, perhaps we still have a glimmer of Vitality!"

Despite his injuries, the Ancestor Taibai shouted a warning. In his view, although Dongfang Yueming could instantly kill Saint King, he would definitely die in a one-on-one fight against a true Emperor.

However.

Dongfang Yueming merely curled his lip in disdain.

"Join forces? To deal with this kind of trash?"

He slowly raised his hands, and the vast magical power within him, at the peak of the [Peak Saint King Perfection, was pushed to its limit at this moment!

"Let me show you what a 'dimensional reduction attack' really means."

"Buzz!!!"

The power of the [Great Thousand Chaos Creation Divine Domain] instantly increased tenfold!

"Snap! Snap!"

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, the seemingly indestructible [Nine Nether Myriad Phenomena Realm] of the Variants King, upon contact with Dongfang Yueming's domain, was like a fragile glass dome striking a diamond!

Shattered inch by inch! Decomposed!

"No!! This is impossible!!! How could your domain be so abnormal!!!"

The King of the Variants let out a shrill, desperate scream! Its proud royal domain was forcibly crushed, and its massive demonic body was exposed to Dongfang Yueming's absolute control. Like a venomous snake with its fangs pulled, it had no chance to resist anymore.

"Go to hell."

Dongfang Yueming struck down with his palm.

A colossal phantom of a god or demon materialized in mid-air, carrying an overwhelming law of destruction, and slammed into the King of Variants!

"BOOM--!!!"

It was accompanied by a deafening roar.

This Variants king, who had been lurking for thousands of years and had just stepped into the Emperor Realm, had its massive demonic body melt away like ice and snow under that earth-shattering fist imprint. Even its Emperor-level Heart of the Alien Species was instantly blasted into nothingness!

Utterly annihilated!

The forbidden area fell silent once again.

The three women, Ancestor Taibai, Abbess Jingxu, and Lu Qingxue, all stared at the black-clad youth in mid-air as if he were a god, their minds completely blank.

The king of Variants at the Emperor Realm... just like that, he was slapped to death?!

However.

Just as Dongfang Yueming withdrew his hand and prepared to leave.

"Buzz--"

At the spot where the king of the Variants died, a faint yet extremely malevolent black demonic thought suddenly drifted up.

In its final second before dissipating, this demonic thought secretly unleashed a silent roar towards all directions of the sky:

"He... he has mastered... the Heaven-Grade Domain..."

"Attack! Before he advances to the Emperor level, all the Saint King and Emperors lurking in first-grade sects... unite... kill him... kill him!!!"
