Thud!
The cultivators in the imperial city gave up their resistance. They slumped to the ground one after another, staring despairingly at the sky and laughing hysterically like madmen.
“It's useless. We can't win at all.”
“We're all going to die.”
“Damn it! I haven't even married a wife yet.”
“How can we possibly win this?”
Not only them, but even powerful experts like Su Qian, Xiao Hongye, the Wenren clan, and Murong Fu could not help but feel despair.
The sky and earth were covered by a banner spanning tens of thousands of miles. A bloody mist filled the air, blotting out the sun and sky like a crimson ocean hanging upside down in the heavens—an utterly terrifying sight.
Fragments of the laws of time and space flowed within it, alongside hundreds of millions of floating corpses of living beings.
Whoosh...
A bloody gale swept through the imperial city, chilling everyone to the bone. At this moment, the world seemed to grind to a halt, falling into a terrifying silence.
Billions of hideous crimson skulls emerged from the sea of blood, shrouded in black demonic qi. Endless laws of darkness surged, cascading down as billions of black chains.
“Ah!”
“No...”
“Help...”
Any living being touched by the chains, whether in the Golden Core Realm or the Nascent Soul Realm, had their essence, energy, and spirit sucked dry in the blink of an eye.
The more powerful a cultivator was, the more chains they attracted.
“Get lost!”
Grand Dao karmic fire erupted all over Su Qian. With a wave of her hand, endless laws surged, condensing into countless flames that incinerated the incoming chains.
Su Qian pressed her hands together. Behind her, countless crimson figures danced within the Red Lotus Karmic Fire as the power of the Great Dao poured into her Law Manifestation, merging with it.
“Extreme Yang Purifying True Flame!”
With a low shout, Su Qian merged with her Law Manifestation, turning her body into the purifying karmic fire. Wrapped in endless flames, she looked like a blazing sun.
“Break!”
The ultimate fire burned, rising from the imperial city like a sun. The approaching evil entities caught fire upon contact and were instantly obliterated.
The sea of blood cast down billions of black beams. They were formed from the demonic qi, deathly energy, and obsessive thoughts condensed from the essence, energy, and spirit of billions of living beings.
Boom!
The power of the karmic fire clashed with the sea of blood. Endless laws swirled and shattered. The heavens fell and the earth cracked as chaotic aura briefly manifested before being swallowed once more.
The two supreme attacks intertwined, continuously devouring each other. The resulting shockwaves were powerful enough to annihilate any domain, illuminating and shattering even the stars beyond the realm.
Su Qian's lips seeped with blood as she continuously poured her magic power into the clash. She was determined to tear a hole in this sea of blood and completely incinerate this supreme evil weapon.
In the distance, just as Xiao Hongye was preparing to sacrifice her Primordial Spirit, the rising ultimate karmic fire and the sea of blood caught her attention.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongye merged with her Law Manifestation without a moment's hesitation.
The laws of the sword path manifested as immortal aura filled the air. Her tens of thousands of feet tall Law Manifestation stood like a giant sword between heaven and earth, radiating a supreme aura.
The Law Manifestation opened its eyes, and the phantom of a True Immortal moved. Raising the sword over its shoulder, it unleashed a supreme sword strike toward the sea of blood.
“Absolute Beginning Sword Glow!”
A vision of the creation of heaven and earth appeared as chaotic mist spread.
The sea of blood also sensed the attacks of the two supreme powerhouses. It gathered two beams of light that resembled tribulation lightning, which shot forward with a sharp hiss to resist the sword qi.
A Dao-Absolute Sovereign Weapon was comparable to a complete Great Ascension Realm cultivator, provided someone could fully activate it; otherwise, it could only unleash power at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm at most.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was currently at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, a half-step Great Ascension Realm level. If it devoured the living beings of this domain, no one would ever be able to stop it again.
“Feathered Ascension Bone!”
At this moment, the cleaved Fuxi launched a surprise attack with its last breath. Its feathers transformed into bone spikes that swirled with the power of laws, resembling peerless, malevolent weapons as they lunged toward Xiao Hongye's back.
If it couldn't defeat Xiao Hongye head-on, it would resort to a sneak attack.
Besides, the activation of the demonic cultivators' Ten Thousand Soul Banner meant that the half-step Tribulation Transcendence Realm demonic cultivator had already sacrificed his own Primordial Spirit and flesh to the banner.
As things stood, they had won.
Even if they died, the two factions would occupy the fertile lands of the Nine Provinces, taking the first step to forge a glorious era for their clans.
They would go down in history!
“Get lost!”
The Heaven-and-Earth Slaughtering Body waved its massive hand, unleashing endless sword intent that instantly destroyed all the incoming bone spikes before crushing the Fuxi's corpse with a single palm strike.
“Blood Sacrifice!”
The Fuxi roared. Wrapping its shattered, bloody remains with its Primordial Spirit, it shrouded itself in crimson laws and turned into a beam of light that surged into the sea of blood.
Using the flesh and blood of two half-step Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators to bolster the Ten Thousand Soul Banner's power would surely corrode this entire province into a living purgatory.
When that time came, the surviving creatures would only serve as their food.
“Die!”
Sensing what was wrapped inside that beam of light, Xiao Hongye immediately swung her sword. The earth shook violently as laws and runes flooded the sky.
Unfortunately, she was a step too late.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner silently devoured the Fuxi's bloody remains and Primordial Spirit, turning them into nourishment. It then cast down a crimson tribulation light.
Boom!
Millions of miles of territory were submerged in this bloody light. Xiao Hongye held her sword vertically before her face, her eyes cold. She pricked her fingertip, staining the blade with a trace of her essence blood.
Clang!
The blade hummed. The Heaven-and-Earth Slaughtering Body turned completely translucent, shrouded in a layer of Great Dao radiance. The world resonated with it as endless laws swirled around.
“Yuqing Demon-Subduing Style!”
Xiao Hongye and her Law Manifestation moved in perfect unison. The blade shone as bright as gold, swirling with the aura of the sword's ultimate limit. She swung a sky-shattering strike against the sea of blood and the crimson tribulation light!
“Ah!!!”
Immortal runes spread as sword qi traversed hundreds of millions of miles, slicing from one domain to another. Even the ancient stars beyond the realm were cut in half, and space and time were disrupted by the sword qi, falling into chaos.
The sword qi pierced the heavens, tearing open the sea of blood that blanketed Yunzhou, allowing rays of sunlight to filter through.
At the same time, Su Qian transformed her essence blood into karmic fire, swirling with the ultimate limit of the Great Dao's karmic fire. Countless crimson figures rose, turning into clusters of flames that merged into her body.
“Break for me!”
The ultimate karmic fire flared. With a thunderous boom, the scorching flames burned through half of the sea of blood, incinerating it and revealing the clear view of the outer realm, where countless galaxies hung in the void.
Many cultivators witnessed this scene and felt as though they had glimpsed hope.
Yet, in the next instant, they fell into despair.
Gurgle!
The torn sea of blood restored itself in an instant, casting down two crimson tribulation lights even more ferocious than before, swallowing all of Yunzhou.
“Damn it, is there really no way?”
Su Qian and Xiao Hongye spoke simultaneously. Having just depleted their essence blood to unleash their strongest attacks, their auras instantly withered.
A Dao-Absolute Sovereign Weapon was indeed the strongest magic weapon beneath Chaos Immortal Artifacts.
An existence at the pinnacle of the Great Dao.
Even two half-step Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators were helpless against it.
Furthermore, this was not even the complete state of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, but merely a flawed product comparable to the great perfection of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
If it were activated by a Tribulation Transcendence Realm or Great Ascension Realm cultivator, let alone Su Qian and Xiao Hongye, even a true Great Ascension Realm cultivator would perish here.
“Is there really no other way?”
In the imperial city, countless cultivators were drained of their essence, energy, and spirit. What was once a land of abundance inhabited by hundreds of millions of people had now turned into a living hell.
