Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain.

The Divine Tree of Withering and Flourishing was snapped in two by the sudden, unparalleled sharpness.

The entire Azure Radiance Palace was thoroughly alarmed.

It was as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up.

Thousands upon thousands of spiritual practitioners flew out from all directions.

Hundreds of deities surrounded the Nirvana Incarnation incarnation.

Behind them stood the Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers, forged by the Azure Radiance Palace with massive resources.

The weakest of these Dao soldiers were all at the Manifestation Realm, clad in dark cyan armor, their auras connected, like cyan stars suspended high in the sky.

There are a total of eight thousand stars, representing eight thousand Dao soldiers.

Once formed into battle formation, it resembled a Abyss abyss, exuding an extremely powerful aura.

Commanding these eight thousand Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers was a deity resembling a child, with eight divine halos rising behind him. His imposing presence was second only to the Ancestor Kuming, who died at the hands of the Nirvana Incarnation, and the two Vice Palace Masters.

This person is named Tiger Fiend Child, whose true form is the spirit beast Azure Nether Dark Tiger. He is the mount of the Ancestor Kuming and is responsible for commanding the Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers.

Tiger Fiend Child was clearly a decisive person. Without wasting a word, he led eight thousand Dao soldiers to attack.

"Kill!!"

Eight thousand Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers roared in unison, their immense aura coalescing into a colossal tiger phantom that reached the heavens and the earth, waving its sharp claws as it pounced towards the Nirvana Incarnation.

Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger.

The moment the giant tiger pounced, a storm suddenly arose, and within that storm, the tiger's shadow vanished silently, becoming hazy and indistinct.

But in the next instant, it suddenly leaped out from the side of the Nirvana Incarnation, its fangs and jaws, seemingly capable of devouring everything, opened wide and bit down fiercely.

Its surging power erupted, like stars exploding simultaneously, transforming into unimaginable towering waves.

The power unleashed by the eight thousand Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers, led by Tiger Fiend Child, almost exceeded the combat strength that a peak deity could possess.

Even with all his might, the Old Ancestor Kuming could not compare to him.

"Heh, no wonder it's called the Sect's Guardian Soldier. With such strength, even Dao Merging like himself can't compete!"

"Unfortunately, you've run into me..."

Faced with this extremely Berserk attack, the Nirvana Incarnation calmly extended its palm.

In his palm, five-colored light condensed and transformed into a giant millstone.

On the millstone, the five elements are arranged according to their generating and restraining relationships, rotating at high speed, forming a terrifying force of destruction.

"The Five Elements Great Millstone!"

Above the sky, a rumbling sound seemed to be booming, as if welcoming the arrival of the five-colored millstone.

Tiger Fiend Child was startled by the power of the Five Elements Great Millstone, but instead of retreating, he advanced, roared, transformed into his true form, and merged with the giant tiger phantom.

An even more terrifying tiger's roar swept across the sky, colliding with the Five Elements Great Millstone.

Click! Click!

The space of Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain shattered instantly, like glass, with cracks spreading out like a spider web.

The Berserk spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed into a raging storm.

One after another, secret cultivation sites were destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle, and Azure Radiance Palace disciples with low cultivation levels died in droves. In an instant, the entire Azure Radiance Palace was filled with lamentations.

"Roar!!"

The tiger's roar reappears!

This time, however, it was filled with pain.

It was as if they were enduring some unspeakable pain.

Rumble!!

A loud bang echoed out.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

But the terrifying divine tiger, capable of sweeping through the realm of gods, was shrinking continuously before the Five Elements Great Millstone.

Its own strength was being eroded by the spinning millstone. Despite its fierce struggles, it was as if it were sinking into a quagmire, getting deeper and deeper.

Finally, with the appearance of an incomparably dazzling divine light, the divine formation composed of eight thousand Azure Radiance Dao Soldiers collapsed instantly.

A series of piercing screams rang out, only to vanish in an instant; death was spreading rapidly.

Hundreds of deities from the Azure Radiance Palace stared in horror at the scene before them.

Some of the deities quietly retreated, clearly preparing to slip away.

Not everyone can remain loyal in the face of death.

Even a powerful force like Azure Radiance Palace is not immune to such practices.

Of course, there are cowards, but there are also brave ones.

Despite their deep fear, a Demigod silently took out their natal divine treasures and rushed towards the mysterious, powerful figure clad in black.

Thus, an even more brutal battle broke out.

With every move of the Nirvana Incarnation, mountains and seas trembled, and heaven and earth collapsed.

With every gesture, he effortlessly wielded various magical techniques and supernatural powers, as easily as eating and drinking.

Even his hair could transform into dazzling celestial swords, capable of slaying gods, its power reaching an unbelievable level.

"Is this still the fighting power that a god can possess?" The Azure Radiance Palace deity, who had not yet joined the battle, muttered in panic.

The fighting prowess displayed by the Nirvana Incarnation made him weak in the knees, unable to convince himself to join the battle.

"Why hasn't the Saint Realm sent Dao Merging Great Expert to descend? Does it really intend to watch my Azure Radiance Palace perish?"

A deity, caught in the midst of a fierce battle, cried out in anguish.

The moment the words fell, a strand of hair swept across the sky, a sword rang out, and the deity perished. His divine blood was scattered throughout the entire Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain, and his body vanished without a trace.

For Logo, who controls the Chaos Furnace, every deity's corpse is a treasure trove. After being remelted, not only can a massive amount of Spirit Pattern be extracted, but the remaining materials can also be used to forge Dao weapons or other creations.

In terms of his actions, even those leaders of the Demon Sect probably couldn't compare to Logo.

The battle at the Azure Radiance Palace continues.

Although it was a one-sided battle, hundreds of gods were involved, and the commotion was truly earth-shattering.

Most of the Yaoguang Divine Realm was alarmed.

Especially the mortal enemy of the Azure Radiance Palace, Golden Radiance Palace.

Inside the gleaming golden temple.

With the help of various miraculous elixirs, Arhat Yuanguang, whose injuries had mostly healed, was watching the battle taking place on Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain from afar with his friend, the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace, through the divine treasure Mystic Light Mirror.

Gazing at that supreme and invincible figure, who resembled Innate God, the two peak deities exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"I didn't expect it to be this fellow Daoist," said Arhat Yuanguang, frowning.

The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace revealed a thoughtful expression and said, "No wonder this person suddenly stepped forward to help you remove the Yuantu Sword Intent for my fellow Daoist. It seems that besides the scroll of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, his hostile relationship with the Azure Radiance Palace also played an important role."

Arhat Yuanguang nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes and said, "The two vice palace masters, Ancestor Kuming, Xuan Madam Xuanyin, and Jie Venerable Jiemie, as well as a group of the Azure Radiance Palace elders and high-ranking officials, did not appear in this battle. In addition, Azure Radiance Palace suddenly closed its mountain half a year ago and activated its sect-protecting formation. There must be a deeper connection between these events."

"And don't forget that battle six months ago..."

Upon hearing this, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's expression turned cold. "Brother, do you mean that half a year ago, besides this mysterious fellow Daoist, Azure Radiance Palace was also secretly lying in ambush, but ultimately did not make a move!"

"That seems to be the case," Arhat Yuanguang nodded slightly. "Otherwise, everything would be too much of a coincidence."

"But the Ancestor Kuming probably didn't expect that while he was indeed the oriole unaware of the mantis behind him, there was an eagle lurking behind the oriole."

"Azure Radiance Palace has incurred the wrath of such a formidable enemy for some unknown reason. Judging from the strength they have displayed, they are likely not far from completely mastering the Great Dao of Origin!"

"A single step can make all the difference between heaven and earth; it's hard to say!" Arhat Yuanguang sighed.

Only those who cultivate to his level can understand the vast difference between the Dao Merging and the realm of divinity.

Even the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace couldn't help but sigh, "The closer one gets to the path, the more difficult it becomes!"

A moment later, Arhat Yuanguang, gazing at the image on the Mystic Light Mirror, suddenly said, "The Saint Realm should be reacting by now!"

"Hmm, although powerful beings in the Saint Realm are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Divine Realm at will, Azure Radiance Palace is facing a crisis of annihilation, so it is reasonable for them to descend to the mortal realm Dao Merging- merger cultivators. I just don't know what kind of tricks this mysterious fellow Daoist has up his sleeve that dares to push Azure Radiance Palace to such a point..."

"Could it be that he has a powerful Dao Merging born in the current era behind him?"

As the two were speculating, the image projected by the Mystic Light Mirror suddenly changed.

"They're here!"

The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace and Arhat Yuanguang both turned solemn.

Following their gaze, they saw an endless vortex suddenly appear in the sky above Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain.

The vortex is dark gray in color, and when viewed from its surface, one can see the Life and Death Wheel. Countless points of light and dark spots shimmer on it, as if symbolizing life and death.

A majestic being stepped out from the vortex.

With his appearance, all sorts of strange phenomena appeared in the world: auspicious light surrounded him, clouds surged, celestial flowers fell in disarray, and the shadows of blue phoenixes and black cranes appeared and disappeared.

It possesses the aura of Dao Merging Great Expert, overwhelming heaven and earth.

Upon seeing the face of this Dao Merging- Merging expert, Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace's eyes flickered slightly, and he murmured, "It's actually him, Dao Lord Xuanwei! He attained Dao nine Yuanhui ago, and it seems he has achieved the Great Dao of Life and Extinction."

"I've heard of Dao Lord Xuanwei, but I don't know what his supernatural abilities are like. What kind of trump card will this mysterious fellow Daoist bring out...?" Arhat Yuanguang's eyes shone with divine light, full of anticipation.

On Azure Radiance Jade Capital Mountain.

With the arrival of Dao Lord Xuanwei, the Nirvana Incarnation also stopped its slaughter.

Looking up, one could see a middle-aged Daoist priest with a simple and peaceful face and deep eyes standing in the sky.

It seems to be surrounded by the vitality of all things, and intertwined with the scene of heaven and earth returning to nothingness. Compassion and indifference coexist, giving people a sense of ruthlessness that regards all living beings as dust and calmly observes the changes of the world.

Only when the tragic state of the Azure Radiance Palace came into his view could one see a cold glint in the eyes of this powerful being.

It seems to be saying that even such a vast Heavenly Dao being still possesses emotions.

"Greetings, Patriarch Xuanwei!"

Upon seeing the arrival of Perfected Lord Xuanwei, the disciples of the Azure Radiance Palace bowed down in unison, many of them beaming with joy, their previous dejection vanishing completely.

It was as if the arrival of the Perfected Lord Xuanwei had given them boundless courage.

But amidst the chorus of worship, the Nirvana Incarnation stepped forward, becoming level with the Perfected Lord Xuanwei.

This scene drew a barrage of curses and rebukes from many powerful figures in the Azure Radiance Palace.

Even the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace and the Arhat Yuanguang, who were watching the battle from thousands of miles away, were taken aback and then frowned.

"This mysterious fellow Daoist is far too arrogant. Among those who have reached the Dao Merging Great Expert Realm, whether friend or foe, one should always show some courtesy," said Arhat Yuanguang.

The Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace remained silent, saying nothing, and quietly observed the battle.

If even bystanders reacted this way, one can only imagine how Dao Lord Xuanwei himself felt.

Having reigned supreme for millions of years, this was the first time Dao Lord Xuanwei had ever seen such an arrogant junior.

Thus, the rage that even the tragic scene at the Azure Radiance Palace couldn't ignite clearly appeared in his eyes, like a raging fire threatening to consume everything.

"No matter where you come from, such rudeness is unacceptable. I suppose even if I kill you, no one will dare to object!"

With a cold shout, Perfected Lord Xuanwei's gray-blue Daoist robe fluttered without wind. He gently swept his whisk, and in an instant, a Dao domain appeared out of thin air.

Within the Dao Domain, the Great Dao of Life and Extinction permeates everything, and the life and death of any living being who falls into this realm are entirely in the hands of the Dao Lord Xuanwei.

The Wheel-Turning Dao Domain, arising and ceasing in a single thought!

It seems that the Dao Domain expanded too quickly, and the Nirvana Incarnation didn't even have a chance to react before being trapped inside.

Immediately, countless annihilating forces coalesced, transforming into a colossal monster that stood tall and imposing.

This strange figure stood up, like a wild beast born from chaos.

Its entire body is covered in sparse, flowing gray fur, with antlers on its head, a mouth like Abyss, and a pair of exceptionally large claws that seem capable of tearing apart the Yaoguang Divine Realm.

An atmosphere brimming with violence, anger, and a sense of death washed over us.

Thump!!

The moment this monster appeared, it swung down with a claw, and with the combined power of the entire Dao Domain, it seemed as if the Divine Realm was crashing down.

A solemn expression finally appeared in the eyes of the Nirvana Incarnation.

But at the same time, a Berserk and eager energy was also brewing and bursting forth in his eyes.

"Dao Merging Grandmaster? Let me test just how strong you really are!"

"The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation, activate!"

Boom!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nirvana Incarnation disintegrated, transforming into the form of Chaos Azure Lotus.

The twelve lotus petals were arranged in twelve directions, instantly forming the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation.

Chaotic energy permeated the air, condensing into a single-edged giant axe, which slashed upwards at the descending giant claw.

"Um?!"

Perfected Lord Xuanwei's eyes grew even colder. He hadn't expected that this junior at the Divine Realm would not only fail to call for reinforcements from those at the Dao Merging Realm, but would also attempt to resist with his own strength.

"That's utterly absurd!"

At the same time, the giant axe and the giant claw collided.

A somber, chilling sense of death washes over you.

Within the Wheel-Turning Dao Domain, the power of annihilation surged wildly, tightly enveloping the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation, attempting to erode and assimilate it.

However, the Nirvana Incarnation in the form of the Chaos Azure Lotus is invulnerable to all laws and encompasses all things.

Despite its terrifyingly high quality, the mere power of annihilation could not break through the defenses of the Chaos Azure Lotus Platform and harm the Nirvana Incarnation.

The giant claw was blocked by the chaotic giant axe formed by the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Grand Formation, and for a time the two were evenly matched.

"Impossible!"

Perfected Lord Xuanwei suddenly changed.

Even the Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace and the Arhat Yuanguang, who were watching the battle, were speechless with astonishment.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

"A mere deity can actually confront Dao Merging- Merging powerhouse head-on?"

"Could it be that this Perfected Lord Xuanwei is an imposter?"

The impression of Dao Merging- Merging Grandmaster being invincible was so deeply ingrained that the two Palace Master of the Golden Radiance Palace immediately suspected that Perfected Lord Xuanwei was an imposter.

This shows just how profound the impact of Nirvana Incarnation on their worldview was!

It's almost a revolutionary redesign!
