The Emperor's Ultimate Realm, the Demon Army at the Gates, and Slaying Gods with a Single Thought
The Taibai Sword Sect is in dire straits.
The once clear sky had been completely obscured by thick, leaden-gray demonic clouds. A suffocating and chilling atmosphere enveloped the hearts of every Sword Sect disciple.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by deafening sonic booms, at the edge of the sky, streams of black demonic energy, exuding terrifying pressure, descended one after another above the Taibai Sword Sect like Xukong tearing through the void!
"That... that's the Supreme Elder of the Shangyin Academy? How did he turn into a monster?!"
"My God! And the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Demon Sect! The Ancestor of the Great Luo Heaven Sect! They... they're all Variants!!!"
Below the Sword Sect, countless disciples and elders watched in mid-air as those once high-ranking and revered first-grade sect leaders, now revealing their terrifying true forms covered in scales, tentacles, and demonic eyes, were all terrified, their legs going weak.
A full fifteen Variants powerhouses at the [Saint King Realm]!
Even more despairing is that, in front of these Saint King stand three terrifying beings emanating an aura that causes the surrounding space to continuously collapse—[Emperor Realm] Variants!
"Taibai Sword Sect, today is your death day!"
The gaunt old man from the Shangyin Academy, a Half-Step Emperor, had now transformed into a winged demonic bat, emitting a piercing shriek, "Hand over the human who murdered my master! Otherwise, I'll make your entire sect wish they were dead!"
Faced with such a terrifying lineup that could wipe the entire Southern Wasteland off the map.
Ancestor Taibai hovered in mid-air, dragging his heavily injured body. Although he held an ancient sword in his hand, his eyes revealed a deep despair.
"It's over... it's over. Three emperors, fifteen Saint King... the sky over the continent is about to collapse." The ancestor closed his eyes bitterly.
Hong Gui, Baihu, and Lu Qingxue stood outside the stone gate of the secluded valley. Although their faces were also pale, they gripped their weapons tightly and stood in front of the stone gate, not retreating an inch.
Inside that tightly closed stone door.
The overwhelming pressure from the outside world, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth, did not cause the slightest ripple.
Dongfang Yueming sat cross-legged, his eyes gleaming with a frenzied desire for ultimate power.
"System, enter and Point Allocation the ' Taibai Supreme Emperor Ultimate Sword Canon ' (Profound Grade)!"
[Ding! Learned Profound Grade Emperor-level technique (0/48 billion, not yet Entry)!]
"Four hundred and eighty billion? That's nothing. Go all out!"
[Ding! Consumed 48 billion points, advanced to the Early Emperor Realm rank!]
"BOOM--!!!"
The moment the command was given, Dongfang Yueming felt as if his consciousness had been instantly elevated to the highest dimension of this world!
At this moment, his dantian, Sea of Consciousness, and physical body completely merged into one. His magical power transformed into a vast and boundless nebula containing endless origins of laws!
Within this nebula, he could clearly feel a substantial connection between himself and the Great Dao of the Crimson Profound World. He was the law, and the law was him!
"Continue!"
[Ding! Consuming... points, advancing to the Middle Emperor Realm!] [Ding! Consuming... points, advancing "Taibai Supreme Emperor Ultimate Sword Canon" to the Perfected Emperor Realm!]
[Middle-Level Perfected Emperor Realm: Xukong]!
"Buzz!"
Dongfang Yueming casually raised his hand, and with just a wisp of magic power flowing through his palm, the seemingly indestructible stone chamber space around him was covered with cracks like a mirror, as if it could be torn apart at any moment and plunged into the endless Xukong turbulence!
That's not enough.
His eyes sharpened, and he took out the "Dark Nether Emperor Ultimate Scripture" (Profound Grade) that he had obtained from the King of the Variants.
"System, Point Allocation to Perfection!"
[Ding! Consumed... points, Profound Grade Emperor Technique Perfection!]
"Merge!"
Dongfang Yueming took a deep breath and clashed the incomparably powerful Taibai Sword Intent within his body with the cold and eerie Xuanming power in his Sea of Consciousness!
"Boom--!!!"
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Fusion successful!]
[Obtained the Earth Grade Emperor-level Dharma Technique - "The Great Expansion Chaos Creation Emperor Ultimate Scripture" (Perfection)!]
"Whoosh!"
In that instant, Dongfang Yueming completely concealed his aura to the extreme, as if he had become an ordinary person without any cultivation. However, the small world around him faintly exuded a supreme pressure that made all things submit and the stars dim!
[Supreme Perfected Emperor Realm: Lord of the Stars]!
"Call..."
Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if they contained the birth and death of the entire universe.
"Lord of the Stars... As long as I am on this planet, I can freely manipulate all the laws of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of this planet."
A cold, domineering smile curled at the corner of his lips as he slowly stood up and walked towards the stone gate.
"Those delivery guys outside must be getting impatient by now."
"Click."
The stone gate slowly opened.
Outside, the group of powerful Variants were preparing to launch a devastating attack, razing the entire Taibai Sword Sect to the ground.
Seeing Dongfang Yueming walk out of the stone gate, and seeing that he did not emit any terrifying magical power fluctuations, or even the law phenomena unique to the Emperor Realm.
The three royal- Variants were stunned for a moment, then burst into earth-shattering laughter!
"Hahaha! I thought he was some amazing reclusive master! Turns out he's just a piece of trash who hasn't even stepped into the Emperor Realm!"
"He probably failed in his forced seclusion and suffered a backlash! This kind of trash dares to kill my master?!"
When the Ancestor Taibai and the Sword Sect disciples saw Dongfang Yueming's appearance, their hearts sank and they fell into utter despair.
"It's over... He didn't break through..." The ancestor closed his eyes in despair.
However, Hong Gui and Baihu remained completely unfazed; they were all too familiar with this man's "returning to simplicity" tactic. Whenever he appeared as an ordinary person, that was often when he was at his most terrifying!
Have you laughed enough?
Dongfang Yueming stood with his hands behind his back. He didn't even take off; he simply stood at the entrance of the stone chamber, tilting his head slightly upward to look at the demons filling the sky.
"That's all? Not even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Dongfang Yueming's voice wasn't loud, but with the enhancement of his [Lord of the Stars] realm, his words seemed to be the will of this world, clearly resounding in the minds of every Variants!
"Arrogant! Die!"
The three royal-level Variants were enraged. They simultaneously unleashed their terrifying royal domains, carrying world-destroying black demonic light, and crushed down upon Dongfang Yueming!
"Destroy."
Dongfang Yueming didn't even move a finger.
He simply uttered a single word in an extremely casual, even slightly lazy manner.
[Heaven Grade Ultimate Technique - Open Heaven with One Sword, Nirvana of All Laws]!
"Buzz--!!!"
There was no rain of swords, nor any earth-shattering energy explosion.
The moment Dongfang Yueming uttered that word.
Above the entire Taibai Sword Sect, there was a oppressive demonic cloud, the terrifying domains unleashed by the three emperor-level Variants, and the fifteen arrogant Saint King.
It's like a traditional Chinese ink painting that's been gently erased with an eraser.
"Sizzle..."
There were no screams.
Eighteen terrifying beings standing at the very top of the Crimson Profound World pyramid, capable of destroying the entire Southern Wasteland.
In full view of everyone, in an extremely eerie and quiet manner...
From head to toe, it crumbled and dissolved inch by inch, eventually turning into dust that filled the sky and completely disappeared into this world!
Even their souls were completely wiped out by that invisible Heavenly Dao Sword Intent!
One word, and all demons are annihilated!
Dead silence.
Absolute silence.
Ancestor Taibai stared blankly at the clear sky, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.
Hundreds of thousands of the Sword Sect disciples were frozen in place like statues, their minds completely blank.
"Is this... is this a miracle?!"
Dongfang Yueming waved his hand calmly.
From the swirling dust, three storage rings radiating terrifying energy landed steadily in his hand.
A sweep of Divine Sense.
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"Two Profound Grade Emperor-level techniques, and four Yellow Grade Emperor-level techniques."
"Great, this delivery was very efficient."
