He stared in horror at the Venerable Hongtian before him, unable to believe that he had been defeated by him.

Venerable Hongtian sneered, his gaze coldly fixed on Jiang Yuan. He slowly approached: "Do you think you can rival a god? You, a mere mortal, will never reach my level."

Jiang Yuan struggled to his feet. His body had suffered severe injuries, but his eyes remained firm and resolute: "I will not give up. No matter how strong you are, I will fight to the very end!"

Venerable Hongtian sneered: "Very well, it is precisely because of your stubbornness and persistence that I enjoy the pleasure of defeating you even more."

He slowly raised his hand, and a terrifying burst of energy surged forth, instantly enveloping Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan felt the immense pressure emanating from Venerable Hongtian; he felt as if he were about to be crushed into dust by this pressure.

The cries of agony from the great battle stirred up the weeping of countless living beings. The battlefield was teleported by Venerable Hongtian to the battlefield of Godfall, where he was determined to take advantage of the situation and annihilate the human race.

Tens of thousands of clansmen stepped forward to fight, pushing themselves to their limits, but Venerable Hongtian's abilities were simply too overwhelming! Moreover, the battles against the Blood Clan and the Sea Clan had also resulted in the loss of a huge number of troops.

The news of Venerable Hongtian's arrival spread like wildfire throughout the entire Imperial Star, causing immense fear. Some clans migrated en masse in an attempt to escape annihilation, while others even waged war against each other, preparing to submit to Venerable Hongtian.

The entire planet was in complete chaos.

Hongtian Venerable skillfully placed his hands on the ground, and bursts of light emanated from the earth to him. He had begun to absorb the origin of the Emperor Star!

"Have you been secretly absorbing the energy of the Emperor Star's origin all this time?!"

Jiang Yuan asked incredulously, because after years of fighting on various battlefields, he had never heard anyone mention it.

"You're only partially right! Let me tell you, absorbing the essence of the Imperial Star is just a small part. Even the smallest ants can help me become stronger. My goal is the entire universe! Only the life of the entire universe can help me become a true god! When that moment comes, I will be the only god! A god capable of creating a new world! Everyone will have to submit to me!"

Venerable Hongtian's greedy nature, his desire to become a true god, meant he could not withstand the test.

"Jiang Yuan!"

Liu Zhaodi arrived from afar, and a divine fire descended, interrupting Venerable Hongtian's absorption.

"The Venerable Hongtian cannot be disturbed while absorbing energy!"

Jiang Yuan was quite surprised by Liu Zhaodi's arrival.

"You weren't just now."

When Liu Zhaodi was in the Hongmeng Space, she followed behind Venerable Hongtian. Venerable Hongtian had already taken control of the twelve celestial bodies on the battlefield. As gods, they had only begun to fight for the Nine Provinces after being transformed by Jiang Yuan's reincarnation. Their abilities had already been targeted by Venerable Hongtian.

"The creatures of the Imperial Star slowly turned into a gray haze. I could clearly feel the Imperial Star's original energy gradually dissipating, which is why we slowly woke up and rushed here as soon as possible."

"The Venerable Hongtian has been secretly absorbing the essence of the Emperor Star for some time now, and several other planets in the universe have already been ravaged by death and destruction. The Venerable Hongtian is now practically without any weaknesses!"

Liu Zhaodi helped Jiang Yuan up from the ground, and then the other twelve celestial bodies arrived one after another to stand in front of Jiang Yuan.

The twelve celestial bodies could no longer be assembled, and their combined ultimate move was also unusable.

An Xiaoyu rushed to Jiang Yuan's side and hugged him tightly. Then they ran towards the battlefield, everyone unleashing their innate divine power, and the team battle began again.

But what can the Venerable Hongtian, who couldn't even be broken by the Primordial Artifacts, do with the combination of the twelve celestial bodies?! Having absorbed multiple energies, even the Abyss Ancestral Dragon in the Sea Abyss couldn't withstand a single punch from the Venerable Hongtian.

Venerable Hongtian pressed closer and closer, and the Twelve Celestial Bodies and Jiang Yuan had become lambs to the slaughter. Now they could only pray for a miracle.

A beam of golden light shone across the earth, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden appeared out of nowhere, descending before Venerable Hongtian.

"We are both gods, and protecting the Imperial Star and even the universe is our original intention. However, your greed has already corrupted your mind. This will only lead you astray and ruin your reputation in your later years!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden angrily rebuked Venerable Hongtian. Initially, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Venerable Hongtian wandered the universe helping living beings. Venerable Hongtian could not resist the temptation of energy and from then on, he could not stop.

"Don't compare yourself to me! Right now, all I need to do to become a true god is deal with these little ants. I advise you not to get in my way!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden needed no further words, showing disdain for the Venerable Hongtian before her. She knew she could not change the situation, nor could she match his abilities. The only solution was Jiang Yuan, whom she had never acknowledged, standing behind her.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, accompanied by twelve celestial bodies, soared into the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield of the fallen gods and restoring the devastated Nine Provinces to its former glory. Then, a beam of light filled with divine power shot towards Jiang Yuan.

The energy of the twelve celestial bodies was also transferred to Jiang Yuan's body beyond his control. The only thing that could contend with Venerable Hongtian was Jiang Yuan's power of reincarnation.

Jiang Yuan felt his energy rapidly increasing, his body quickly recovering, and his wounds healing swiftly. He sensed the power emanating from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Twelve Celestial Bodies, as if flames were burning within him.

The aura emanating from him grew increasingly powerful, his eyes revealing an invincible will. He straightened his chest and stared at Venerable Hongtian: "Venerable Hongtian, your madness will ultimately destroy you! I will use my power of reincarnation to defeat you!"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Twelve Celestial Bodies surrounded Jiang Yuan, forming a powerful barrier of light. Venerable Hongtian felt intense pressure and threat; his gaze turned fierce: "You think you can stop me?! I will make you pay the price!"
