The collision between Heaven and Hell was still ongoing, with wave after wave of powerful shockwaves continuously rippling outward from their point of connection.
The shockwaves expanded further and further, sweeping through world after world, disrupting the internal operations of those worlds as they passed.
Meanwhile, deep within Hell, in the Original Blood Sea, the Mother of Hell was frantically channeling the world authority, trying to stop Heaven's entry.
However, her efforts were in vain; Hell's authority had no effect on Heaven.
No matter how much Hell resisted, when facing a special world of a similar size to itself, this tiny bit of resistance was like trying to scratch an itch.
The Mother of Hell frantically channeled her authority, repeatedly trying to repair the world membrane. She even utilized the Dao of Blankness, but this only managed to slow down the speed of the fusion.
On the other side, behind Heaven, the Lord of Heaven was not only continuing to push Heaven forward to smash into Hell, but also summoned the holy sword he wielded.
At his behest, the Heavenly Expeditionary Force behind him fell into neat ranks. Led by the Angel Priests, they began to chant hymns.
This hymn was different from the healing ones before. This time, the hymn was meant to cast an unprecedented divine technique, one that the Lord of Heaven had only recently created.
A continuous stream of faith gathered in one place, converging onto the Lord of Heaven's holy sword.
As the hymn progressed, it soon reached its climax. The faith, mingled with the chanting of the believers, fused into the holy sword.
Those who could join the Heavenly Expeditionary Force were devout believers, if not outright fanatics.
The faith they provided was of extremely high purity, causing the holy sword to burst with a brilliant, dazzling light.
And this faith also triggered a resonance from the holy sword.
This holy sword was the symbol of the Lord of Heaven, and it had accumulated a massive amount of faith over time. At this moment, all of its past accumulation was unleashed.
A ripple of spatial energy expanded from the blue gemstone on the hilt of the holy sword.
In the next instant, everyone sensed a pure aura of spirit suddenly burst into the area.
“Could this be?”
“The Sea of Spirit! The Lord of Heaven actually brought it here as well.”
“Transporting a special world... he's really willing to pay the price. That must have cost an immense amount of faith.”
“More than just 'a lot'—it must be an astronomical figure.”
“It seems the Lord of Heaven has indeed resolved to put everything on the line, just as Daoist Chen said.”
“By the way, where is Daoist Chen? Why do we only see the undead under his command?”
While the eyes of the myriad worlds were drawn to the earth-shattering collision between Heaven and Hell, Chen Xu was thousands of miles away, struggling to push the Land of the Undead and the Elemental Spirit Realm.
“Damn it, nobody ever mentioned that moving a world would be this hard!”
Chen Xu's true body and his 'Element Overlord' avatar were both straining with every ounce of their strength just to get the two worlds to move slowly.
Chen Xu had thought that with Unique-tier power, no matter how special these special worlds were, it shouldn't take much time.
Furthermore, the Lord of Heaven hadn't told him how difficult it was to move a world. Otherwise, he would have started earlier to get a head start.
Moreover, he didn't know if it was because he had stuffed too many things into the Land of the Undead—especially the Void in the Dao layer, that unborn, world-devouring dragon.
Moving the Land of the Undead required twice as much effort as moving the Elemental Spirit Realm.
Fortunately, supernatural worlds also possessed inertia, and they moved faster and faster once they got going. Otherwise, Chen Xu probably wouldn't have arrived before Heaven and Hell finished their battle.
Back in Hell, when the Lord of Heaven summoned the Sea of Spirit and hurled it toward Hell, the ultimate Dao of Spirit unleashed its power.
The shockwaves generated by the collision of the three worlds were laced with lingering spiritual ripples.
Wherever the ripples passed, the souls of all living beings were forced out of their bodies, whether they belonged to the Heavenly Expeditionary Force, the allied forces of the three paths of the Immortal, Martial, and Yokai, or the demons.
Be they ordinary transcendents of epic-tier or legendary-tier strength, Eternal Rank priests, the top geniuses of various factions, or even the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, all of them suffered a separation of soul and body under the influence of this spiritual resonance.
Their souls were forcibly ejected from their physical bodies, and at the same time, they entered a special overclocked state.
Their thoughts raced at high speed, and sparks of wisdom continuously flashed within their consciousness.
Under normal circumstances, such a state, which was comparable to sudden enlightenment, would naturally be a great thing.
But right now, their souls were separated from their bodies. Without the nourishment of a physical body, running at such extreme speeds would only overdraw the soul itself. In severe cases, it could even lead to the complete dispersal of their souls.
Many of the lowest-tier and weakest cannon fodder fallen demons in Hell had already suffered shattered souls.
On the side of the Heavenly Expeditionary Force, the Guardian Priest of Heaven directly manifested in soul form and summoned a massive shield of Saint Light, blocking all the shockwaves from the collision.
Meanwhile, the Priest of Mercy released a uniquely gentle Saint Light, sheltering the souls of the Heavenly Expeditionary Force.
The Dao Lords of the three paths of the Immortal, Martial, and Yokai also took action one after another, protecting their respective disciples.
Taihao Dao Lord waved his hand, scattering talismans across the sky. Using his dharma sword in place of a cinnabar brush, he drew runes in the void, releasing the disciples of the three paths from their soul-body separation and allowing them to return to their physical bodies.
Within Hell, the Mother of Hell split a thread of her mind to scan the situation outside.
In the next instant, without the slightest hesitation, the ruler of Hell reached out with her blood-red claws and beckoned toward the outside of Hell.
The bodies and souls of trillions of demons instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist. From the lowly fallen demons to the Mythic Rank demon lords, none were spared.
Only the Eternal Rank Hell Archdukes and Hell Demon Kings were spared from this fate.
Under the guidance of the Mother of Hell, the blood and soul essence of these demons poured entirely into her body, causing her aura to skyrocket.
Following that, the Mother of Hell looked up at the sky, gazing at the two worlds of Heaven and the Sea of Spirit.
Her gaze swept back and forth between the two worlds. After a brief moment of thought, she suddenly erupted. Under her control, the foul, corruption-scented blood of the Original Blood Sea transformed into savage claw marks that shot toward the Sea of Spirit.
Her idea was simple: since world fusion could not be stopped, she would shatter these annoying worlds before they merged.
This way, Hell could absorb some of the world fragments during the fusion, slightly boosting its strength.
Tens of millions of corrupting claws flew toward the Sea of Spirit, tearing this once-blessed land of the myriad worlds into piece after piece.
Then, these corrupting claws writhed frantically, shooting out tentacles that entangled the torn fragments of the Sea of Spirit and dragged them down into Hell.
The moment these fragments of the Sea of Spirit entered Hell, the Mother of Hell channeled her authority to digest them as quickly as possible, bolstering Hell's power.
The Lord of Heaven saw this, but he did not stop her.
Even if the Mother of Hell gorged herself on the fragments, she could not stop the final outcome of the world fusion.
What the Lord of Heaven wanted was world fusion. Once the worlds merged, the ultimate Dao principles would interfere with one another, causing both the Mother of Hell and himself to lose their abilities as World Lords.
Thereby completely ending this conflict between Heaven and Hell.
And he, the God-Lord of the Heavenly Pantheon, as the savior who destroyed Hell, would make the Heavenly Pantheon great again—no, even greater!
Time passed slowly, and the collision of the three worlds continued. As the fusion deepened, the shockwaves from the impacts grew increasingly violent.
Seeing that the Lord of Heaven did not stop her from devouring the world fragments, the Mother of Hell below also realized something was wrong.
However, she couldn't think of any other effective solution. In her anxiety, she instinctively accelerated her consumption of the world fragments.
Perhaps the feeling of her strength rising after digesting them could slightly alleviate her anxiety and unease.
Right at that moment, the Lord of Heaven, the Mother of Hell, and the other Dao Lords present all turned their heads to look in a certain direction.
From that direction, two equally massive worlds were hurtling toward them at the speed of light.
“Here I come!”
Chen Xu shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to use a loud voice to hide his fatigue and embarrassment. He didn't want the other fellow Daoists to realize he was exhausted from pushing two giant spheres.
Hearing Chen Xu's voice, a smile appeared on the Lord of Heaven's calm face.
Within Hell, a smile also appeared on the face of the Mother of Hell, but it was not a joyful smile; it was a manic, terrifying laugh.
“Heh, heh, hahaha!”
This soft, slightly twitching laughter did not attract anyone else's attention.
Because, under Chen Xu's control, the 'Element Overlord' avatar suddenly detonated. The resulting impact propelled the Elemental Spirit Realm, accelerating it toward Hell.
“Boom!!!”
The violent collision produced another shockwave, causing the massive shield of Saint Light of the Guardian Priest of Heaven to develop slight cracks.
Following that, Chen Xu personally pushed the Land of the Undead—his very starting point—and slammed it into Hell.
“Boom!!!”
Another earth-shattering crash resounded as four special worlds continuously hammered Hell from four different directions.
The violent roaring caused by the collision and friction of the world membranes fully unleashed the Mother of Hell's madness.
Clasping her head with both claws, the Mother of Hell threw her head back and let out a shrill shriek.
This shriek carried her terrifying power, instantly shattering the distant shield of Saint Light into scattered specks of light.
“Since you all want to come in so badly, then come in and let me slaughter to my heart's content!”
The Original Blood Sea began to surge. The Mother of Hell manually retracted Hell's world membrane, wrapping it around herself like a thin veil.
With no obstacles left, the four special worlds crashed straight into Hell.
After a violent explosion, the five worlds—or more accurately, the six special worlds, including the Original Blood Sea and the Blank Zone's Dao principles—actually resonated through their six ultimate Dao principles. A flash of rainbow light swept past, and the five spheres merged into a single sphere.
The Lord of Heaven raised his right hand, causing ripples to spread through space as the Holy Light Greatsword appeared in his grasp.
Saint Light descended from the sky, landing within this brand-new, massive world that was completely devoid of any suppression, and he stood before the Mother of Hell.
Opposite the Lord of Heaven, a spatial gate opened behind the Mother of Hell. Chen Xu stepped out, entering this world as well.
The other Dao Lords of the Immortal, Martial, and Yokai paths also entered the world one after another, surrounding the Mother of Hell.
The Mother of Hell's face was filled with madness. Blood continuously seeped from her blood-red eyes, and she panted heavily, her mouth open to reveal sharp, pointed fangs.
“Huff, huff... is everyone here? Well then, let us begin! Let us march toward the end together!”
