He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Father, seniors, my true form... is trapped in a forbidden land called 'Great Annihilation' and cannot escape for the time being."

"This is a wisp of my Dao power clone. It was only by using the coordinates of the Chaotic Ancient Era that it managed to break through and return."

He paused, sensing the difference in the flow of time between this place and his own past, his tone carrying a hint of indifference and a sense of vicissitude, "In that chaotic ancient time and space, I fought against the nine great meritorious Buddhas... for six thousand years."

"Then he wandered in that 'Great Extinction' for an unknown period of time."

"How long has it been since you left?"

"Nine Great Merits of the Buddha!"

Yi Zhan cried out in alarm, his tiger-like eyes wide open.

The faces of the leader and others were also filled with shock, clearly indicating that they were no strangers to the Nine Great Meritorious Buddhas.

"You killed him?" the sovereign asked.

Ning Feng replied calmly, "Yes."

Everyone gasped.

The sovereign asked again, "Have all nine main bodies been slain?"

Ning Feng nodded,

"You brat," the Great Demon God said, "we've been fighting these nine old monsters for tens of thousands of years, suffering countless losses, and letting them escape every time we tried to kill them."

"I never expected that I would end up getting caught in your hands."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then the Great Demon God slowly said, "Since you were swept away by the spatial turbulence, exactly one hundred years have passed in the outside world."

One hundred years versus six thousand years.

The ratio of time passing is as high as one to sixty.

Everyone fell silent, their gazes towards Ning Feng's clone filled with complex emotions.

They fought bloody battles on this path to heaven for tens of thousands of years, finding it long and arduous, and countless comrades perished.

Ning Feng, however, spent a long time alone in an even more ancient and dangerous era.

What loneliness and torment this must be!

After a brief moment of shock and silence, the Great Demon God slapped his thigh, and flames reignited in his demonic eyes. "Good lad, you haven't been erased even after six thousand years."

"They even killed that damned Buddha of Merit and sent his clone back from that ghost's 'Great Nirvana'."

"Haha, as expected of the variable we've been eyeing."

The sovereign calmed the turmoil in his heart and looked wisely at Ning Feng's clone, "The return of the clone means that hope has not been extinguished."

"Although your physical body is trapped, now that you have found a way to transmit information, you are not out of the woods."

"Your experiences and insights during the Great Nirvana, especially your understanding of the essence of the Dao and Nirvana, are of paramount importance."

Ning Feng's clone nodded solemnly: "The Heavenly Dao is no longer the original guardian of order. It has been distorted by fear of annihilation, and its core logic has been shaken by my sword."

"But the Great Desolation... is far more terrifying than we imagine."

"It is not a specific enemy, but more like a...existent force that ends the laws of the universe."

"The Heavenly Dao may just be a failed attempt to survive under this power of termination."

He looked at everyone, his gaze resolute: "My true form is still searching for a way out of annihilation, perhaps..."

"That is also the battlefield we will eventually have to face."

"The most urgent task is to integrate our forces and find a true way to deal with annihilation, rather than simply overthrowing a distorted Heavenly Dao."

Ning Zhan walked up to the clone and lightly patted its shoulder, though there was no real physical contact.

But his concern was evident: "Feng'er, hang in there."

"Whether it is the Heavenly Dao or the Great Annihilation, it will eventually face reckoning."

Yi Zhan shouldered the Thunder Axe, his fighting spirit soaring, "That's right, you hold them off over there, we'll fight our way through these ninety-eight floors."

"Let's see what secrets the core of the Heavenly Dao still holds; maybe we can find clues to deal with Annihilation."

Looking at the group whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, Ning Feng's illusory clone revealed a smile.

……

At the same time, Ning Feng, who was in the midst of great annihilation, suddenly opened his eyes.

The message relayed by the clone flashed through his mind.

A smile appeared on his face. "Perhaps, if we fight our way through all 108 heavens and sever the Heavenly Dao, we can witness the Great Annihilation of the next era. But what lies after the Great Annihilation?"

As he spoke, he looked into the distance.

His gaze was deep.
