The words of the Emperor of Heaven, like a final alarm bell, echoed in the collapsed Lingxiao Palace.

However, Ao Guang responded with only one statement that transcended everything: "Soon, I will be the Way of Heaven."

The moment he finished speaking, he no longer merely devoured the collapsing order and energy around him. He raised his hand, not pointing it at the Emperor of Heaven, but reaching for the core of the Thirty-Three Heavens—the invisible authority that mysteriously sustained the existence of Heaven and connected it to the origin of the Primordial Heavenly Dao!

“Buzz——!!!”

The entire Thirty-Three Heavens uttered an unprecedented wail, on the verge of complete disintegration! All the immortal palaces, all the laws, all the connections between the priesthoods, the very foundations of their existence, were forcibly shaken and extracted at this moment!

A visible to the naked eye torrent composed of countless golden runes and chains of order was forcibly stripped out from every corner of the Heavenly Court and from the bodies of every immortal god (whether they were willing or not), and rushed madly towards the empty hand of "Ao Guang" like thousands of rivers returning to the sea!

He is seizing the power of the Emperor of Heaven!

He is extracting the foundation of the entire heaven!

He is... devouring alive the incarnation of Heaven that represents the order of the old era!

“Ugh—!”

Some immortal officials with lesser cultivation bases experienced their godheads dimmed instantly under this forced stripping, their bodies even becoming transparent, as if they were about to dissipate along with the power being siphoned away! Even those powerful divine generals and star officials turned pale and their auras were weak, as if their spines had been ripped out!

This is plunder at the most fundamental level! More thorough than destruction!

"presumptuous!"

The Emperor of Heaven could no longer sit on his throne! He roared with utter fury, his immense divine might no longer restrained, but unleashed like an explosion! A dazzling divine light erupted from him, making him look like an ancient god who had created the universe!

He similarly raised his hand, fingers spread out. Within his palm emerged the phantom of a golden seal, ancient yet extremely complex, as if compressed from countless worlds and countless laws—the Celestial Emperor's Seal! The embodiment of the authority of Heaven!

"town!"

The shadow of the Heavenly Emperor's Seal shone brightly, transforming into a golden pillar of light that spanned the sky and the earth. With the supreme power to determine the destiny of the universe and sort out the yin and yang, it pressed down towards "Ao Guang" and the torrent of power that he had forcibly extracted!

This is a direct confrontation with the origin of Heaven! It is the final judgment of the old order on the usurpers!

Wherever the golden light passed, the originally turbulent and collapsing Thirty-three Heavens actually experienced a brief period of stability! The torrent of power that had been extracted also stagnated!

Faced with this most powerful attack that represented the orthodox way of the ancient world, Ao Guang's empty eyes showed a solemn look for the first time.

But what was more in his eyes was a boiling desire to fight and greed!

“Just in time!”

He laughed wildly and clenched his loose hands suddenly!

The vast torrent of power belonging to the Heavenly Court that he forcibly extracted, and his own original power that was a fusion of annihilation, chaos, and primordial water, began to madly compress and merge at this moment!

A dark blue light burst out from Jiemie's left eye, turning all the "old" and "binding" laws in the torrent of power into nothingness!

The vortex in Chaos' right eye spun rapidly, combining the most original "rule particles" after annihilation with its own chaotic power to give birth to a new life!

Between his palms, a ball of energy singularity that cannot be described by any color, which seems to contain all possibilities and represent the end of everything, is condensing and being born at a speed faster than the speed of light!

At the same time, he put his other hand together and pointed like a sword. Above his fingertips, the new law that represented his will began to materialize - it was no longer order, nor chaos, but an absolute judgment of "existence" and "nothingness" based on his thoughts!

"The old world is dead—"

He faced the pillar of light from the Heavenly Emperor's Seal that was suppressing him, and brazenly pushed out the energy singularity in his palm that was compressed to the extreme, and the new law that was just born at his fingertips!

"A new heaven shall be established!"

The singularity and the laws, and the pillar of light of the Emperor's Seal representing the authority of the old Heavenly Way, collided with each other without any tricks and firmly!

"boom----------------!!!"

This time, it was no longer silent annihilation.

It is an indescribable ultimate roar, as if the world was created and all things returned to their abyss!

The entire ancient world, whether it was above the nine heavens or below the nine underworlds, whether it was immortals, gods, ghosts, or plants and ants, all felt something in their hearts and had their souls shaken at this moment!

The High Heaven Palace, along with the core area of ​​the Thirty-Three Heavens where it was located, was like a block of ice thrown into a furnace in this indescribable collision. It instantly vaporized!

There were no fragments, no dust, only the purest energy storm, mixed with broken laws and concepts, spreading destructively in all directions!

The golden divine light of the Emperor of Heaven and the indescribable light of chaos and annihilation intertwined, tore and devoured each other crazily!

At the center of the light, two figures could be vaguely seen—one as bright as the blazing sun, the other as deep as the eternal night—engaging in the most fundamental and cruel struggle of the Dao! A plunder of power! The passing of an era!

Yinglong was shielded by the invisible force field long ago laid by Ao Guang, unaffected by the destructive storm. She looked at the center of the light, at the divine light of the Heavenly Emperor, which represented the supreme authority of the old era. Under the impact of the chaotic and annihilating light that blended destruction and rebirth, it began to retreat step by step and gradually dimmed!

The shadow of the Heavenly Emperor's Seal made a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight!

On the throne, the true body of the Emperor of Heaven, that brilliant divine light was like a candle in the wind, flickering violently, and his aura was rapidly falling!

"No--!!!"

The prince let out a desperate cry and tried to rush forward, but was instantly blown away by the aftermath of the dissipated energy, and his life was unknown.

The other immortal gods were like fallen leaves in a strong wind. In the aftermath of this earth-shattering collision, some were annihilated, some were severely damaged, or became like duckweed that had lost its roots, their godheads shattered, and their paths to immortality cut off!

The old heaven is collapsing in the most tragic and thorough way!

I don’t know how long it took, maybe a moment, maybe eternity.

The destructive light finally slowly dissipated.

In the original place, where is the Lingxiao Palace, where are the Thirty-three Heavens?

Only nothingness remains.

A blank void from which all traces of the old were forcibly erased.

Only the figure in black robe was still quietly floating in the center of nothingness.

The energy singularity in his hand has disappeared, and the new laws at his fingertips have also been restrained.

But the aura emanating from him was completely different.

It was a kind of... perfection. Supremacy. As if he were the very essence of this world... the very source of its essence.

Not far across from him, the figure of the Emperor of Heaven regrouped, but it was dim like a shadow. The Emperor's crown had been shattered, and his golden eyes were filled with fatigue, unwillingness, and a hint of... relief?

He looked at "Ao Guang", at this piece of nothingness that had been completely "reset", and slowly spoke in a hoarse and weak voice:

"You... won."

"But this new world forged by devouring and power...how long can it last?"

"Ao Guang" looked at him indifferently, and there was no longer any ripple in those empty eyes.

"The old era should come to an end."

He raised his hand and gently shook the dim shadow of the Emperor of Heaven.

No light, no sound.

The shadow of the Emperor of Heaven, like writing erased by an eraser, disappeared silently and completely into the void.

The Emperor of Heaven who ruled over the ancient world for countless years and represented the old order of Heaven...

Fall.

"Ao Guang" slowly withdrew his hand, feeling the complete authority of the Heavenly Dao that was completely integrated into himself without any obstacles, and feeling the absolute submission of this world to him.

He turned around and looked at Yinglong, the only one still existing in this void.

The pair of eyes of nothingness that had just taken control of the way of heaven, containing endless majesty and coldness, seemed to... soften a little when they fell on her.

He held out his hand to her.

"From now on,"

His voice resounded in this void that symbolized the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era, with an unquestionable declaration.

"In the Three Realms and Six Paths, I alone reign supreme."

"And you,"

"Share this...eternity with me."
