What is shown in the Heaven-Covering Mirror is a desolate and empty world.

A golden-winged roc exuding a terrifying aura, its body, forged from celestial metal, was now battered and broken. Blood, imbued with rich vital energy, flowed down and dripped onto a star, instantly turning that ancient star into nothingness.

Countless bolts of lightning surged down from the heavens and earth, raging throughout the universe, each bolt containing terrifying energy capable of destroying everything.

The black lightning tribulation, formed from the power of countless laws, continuously struck the Golden-Winged Roc. With each strike of lightning, the Golden-Winged Roc's body, which was forged from celestial gold, dimmed a little.

"What exactly do you want in order to spare my Golden-Winged Roc clan?"

A deathly silence echoed throughout the universe.

Upon hearing this, the other figure bathed in lightning shook his head.

With a single finger, billions of divine lights erupted, and the birth and demise of countless universes were contained within that single finger.

In the void, only a mournful cry remained.

As Yang An gazed at the black lightning tribulation, images of the Golden-Winged Roc clan's powerful members' bodies decaying continuously flashed through his mind, and he murmured...

"Is this why those above the level of a sage cannot intervene?"

Every time a being above the level of a saint makes a move, they are met with black lightning.

The black lightning will continuously strip away the life force of those undergoing tribulation.

The stronger a person is, the more difficult it is for them to extend their lifespan.

Reaching the level of "Striving for Immortality" makes extending one's lifespan extremely difficult, requiring the most exquisite natural treasures in the world.

For example, it takes millions of years for a life-bearing forbidden zone to produce nine drops of the divine elixir of life.

Just like the immortal medicine that is rare to see in millions of years, every time the immortal medicine appears in the world, it will cause a fierce battle for immortality, and countless quasi-emperors will take action.

However, these were not issues for Yang An.

As long as you have enough spirit stones and divine resources, you can eat immortality pills as snacks and use life elixir for bathing.

With a thought, an exquisite jade bottle appeared in Yang An's palm, and a rich life force instantly filled the entire room.

Yang An then placed the jade bottle into the Sky-Covering Mirror. Spatial ripples then appeared on the surface of the Sky-Covering Mirror. When the ripples subsided, the jade bottle disappeared.

"Thank you, Holy Emperor"

A heartfelt expression of gratitude came through the Sky-Covering Mirror.

Even though Pei Qingyi had already entered the ranks of those striving for advancement, she was still extremely grateful for the entire small bottle of Life Elixir.

The small bottle contained over a hundred drops of the Divine Elixir of Life. In this battle, he only lost about five thousand years of his lifespan.

The strongest among those vying for the dragon boat have lifespans of at least tens of thousands of years.

The fact that the Holy Emperor allowed him to enter the ranks of those vying for advancement was already an immense favor. The hundreds of drops of Divine Life Elixir not only replenished his lifespan but, once he fully digested the life laws contained within, he might even be able to advance further.

How could he not be excited?

One can't help but admire the Emperor's generosity.

If hundreds of drops of the Divine Elixir of Life were to appear in the world, it would absolutely drive all the major powers mad.

"Let's annihilate the Golden-Winged Roc clan!"

At this moment, the foundation of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, a Golden-Winged Roc ancestor who was in the mid-stage of the Battle for Transcendence tens of thousands of years ago, has already perished.

Jin Tianhua, who was at the Great Sage Realm, was also instantly killed by Pei Qingyi at the very beginning of the battle.

At this moment, only a few cats and dogs remain of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Only the patriarch of the Golden-Winged Roc clan remains at the Quasi-Saint level.

What can we use to defend against his underworld?

......

Wan Yaosen

The patriarch of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, hiding within the clan's protective formation, gazed at the shattered jade tablet, his eyes filled with despair.

The last remaining strength of his Golden-Winged Roc clan... is gone.

After today, even if his Golden-Winged Roc clan can survive, it will only be a handful of insignificant individuals, unable to even maintain its royal status.

He still couldn't understand it.

Even if the underworld is an immortal lineage revived from an ancient era, it shouldn't have such a rapid emergence of beings vying for passage!

The underworld has only existed for less than six months.

Unfortunately, he will never know that there is a type of person in the world called a cheater.

at the same time

The barrier collapsed with a deafening roar, and countless divine lights erupted with an extreme destructive aura, sweeping across the ancestral land of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

Before they could even utter a scream, countless powerful members of the Golden-Winged Roc clan were engulfed by the divine light and vanished into nothingness.

"A resurrected imperial artifact!"

A newly revived saint couldn't help but curse, but was quickly struck by a lightning bolt, and death energy spread instantly, causing him to perish on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the patriarch of the Golden-Winged Roc clan gave a bitter smile.

Imperial Weapon

He gazed at the dull, lifeless halberd in his hand.

That would require a recovery!

At this moment, the imperial artifacts of the Golden-Winged Roc clan fell into a state of utter silence. The supreme imperial artifacts that could once awe the heavens could not even be revived.

Blood stained the entire Demon Forest.

The Golden-Winged Roc clan, which had existed for millions of years and was once the ancestral home of the ancient royal family, was reduced to rubble in a single day.

Even if the Golden-Winged Roc still has some remnants, it will never regain its former status and will only be relegated to a third-rate power.

Moreover, the forces that were persecuted by the Golden-Winged Roc clan in the past will certainly not let the rest of the Golden-Winged Rocs go.

In the past, the Golden-Winged Roc clan was so powerful that even a powerful force like the Ancient Lin Family dared not rashly start a war with them.

However, now that all the powerful members of the Golden-Winged Roc clan have perished, all forces that have a grudge against the Golden-Winged Roc clan will surely emerge like bamboo shoots after a rain. Even if Yang An is not in charge, these forces will continue to hunt down the remaining remnants of the Golden-Winged Roc clan.

......

Sea of ​​the Dead

An endless fog shrouded it.

The sea was a blood-red color, with a blazing aura constantly boiling. A terrifying behemoth leaped up, and the void for thousands of miles collapsed directly.

The Sea of ​​the Dead is a forbidden area of ​​the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain, a place where no living beings exist. Even human quasi-emperors dare not venture into this area.

It is said that the Sea of ​​the Dead once buried several peak emperors, and the blood of these emperors dripped onto the endless sea surface, thus forming a blood-red scene.

The blood of those fallen emperors contained intense imperial laws, but it was also filled with an aura of destruction. This caused countless powerful beings to be born in the Sea of ​​the Dead, but these beings had no intelligence and, no matter how powerful they were, they only had the instinct to devour.

Suddenly, the sea boiled, and countless drops of seawater surged up, coalescing into a blood-red tomb.

From the depths of the tomb, a deep and resonant voice echoed.

It sounded like a murmur, carrying an emotion that was hard to describe.

"The fortune of the Golden-Winged Roc clan has dissipated."

"Before the great era of strife even began, the entire clan was wiped out."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have swallowed it all in one gulp; at least I could have recovered some of my energy."

"What a...useless piece of trash."
