Amazing! Did they give me the wrong newbie gift pack?

The Soul Emperor lightly stroked the void with his fingertips, and black patterns spread like living things to his palm, transforming into a talisman wreathed in ghostly flames. He glanced at the Soul Clan's formation and said in a deep voice, "Activate the 'Soul Abyss Locking Heaven Formation' and designate the Central Continent's airspace as a battlefield."

Before he finished speaking, Hun Yuantian led several elders into the air. The jade slip in his hand burst out with dazzling black light, and countless runes fell from the sky, weaving a huge black net around the outer edge of Zhongzhou, isolating the entire airspace from the outside world.

As the array patterns flowed, the distant mountains were forcibly torn apart, turning into countless rubble that filled the gaps in the array, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. He knew that the Soul Emperor's move was intended to contain the flames of war in the Central Plains, using the lives of all the creatures on the continent as bait to weaken the enemy.

"Ancient clan secret technique, 'Ancient Stele Suppressing Demons'!" With a wave of his hand, a bronze stele a thousand feet tall appeared from the void, its surface covered with ancient incantations, each line flowing with golden light. The stele crashed to the ground, stirring up thousands of shockwaves, actually carving out a vacuum in the path of the Purgatory Legion's charge.

However, the next second, the Azure Dragon's breath arrived, and the dark blue torrent crashed into the ancient stele, bursting out with dazzling lightning, and several cracks appeared on the stele.

"Clan leader! The formation can't hold!" the ancient clan elder cried out urgently. Gu Yuan crushed a blood-red pill, his battle qi suddenly surged, and as he formed hand seals, layers of shield patterns appeared on the surface of the ancient stele.

"Notify the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan to concentrate their firepower on the left flank of the Spirit Beast Legion!" Before he finished speaking, a black tentacle pierced through the formation, grazed past his ear, and plowed a trench a hundred feet deep into the ground.

Looking up, Enzor stood in mid-air, stepping on the black mist, while the vanguard of the Purgatory Legion behind him broke through the defenses and surged into the Central Plains like a tide.

The Soul Emperor flashed and appeared opposite Enzo. Twelve black lines on his back condensed into a hideous ghost face, each face emitting a shrill scream.

"A mere demon!! How dare you covet me? Die!!" He flicked his finger, and a dark beam of light pierced through the void, heading straight for Enzor's face.

The latter neither dodged nor evaded, letting the beam of light pierce his chest, but it quickly healed amidst the surging black mist: "Soul Emperor, do you think the Soul Clan alone can stop the Boundless Heavenly Palace?"

With that, he waved his hand and tore open a spatial rift, from which more members of the Purgatory Legion poured out, their sheer number obscuring half the sky.

On the ground, the Stone Clan Chief's stone blade clashed fiercely with the Mist Demon Commander's ghostly hand. Each stone blade carried the power of a mountain, yet it was corroded with countless holes the moment it touched the black mist.

"Stone Clan Blood Pact, activate!" The Stone Clan Chief bit his fingertip, and blood dripped onto the stone patterns on the ground. In an instant, the entire land transformed into a lava pool, and countless stone pillars burst forth from the earth, slicing the black mist of the Mist Demon Commander to pieces. However, before the Commander's sinister smile could fade, the severed black mist suddenly split into even more ghostly hands, wrapping around the Stone Clan Chief from all directions.

In the distance, the Black Demon Lightning of Lei Clan Chief Lei Ying and the Thunderstorm Domain of Jiu You Hou were locked in a fierce battle. In the sky, the two different types of lightning devoured each other, and the purple-black intertwined lightning struck the ground, blasting the mountains into dust.

"Thunder Tribulation? Nine Heavens!" Lei Ying roared, and nine layers of thunder domains descended. But Jiu Youhou waved her fingertip lightly, and the storm domain transformed into an invisible barrier, directing all the thunder power to the wasteland on the edge of Zhongzhou, triggering a chain explosion.

As the battle below gradually spiraled out of control, the Soul Emperor suddenly raised his hand and tore through space, revealing a token engulfed in black flames in his palm.

"Void Devouring Flame, it's your turn to make a move." The moment the token shattered, the entire Soul Realm trembled violently, and a black-robed figure that blotted out the sky stepped out from it—it was Void Devouring Flame, one of the eight ancient clans.

He opened his enormous maw and devoured all the fire energy in the world. The battlefield between Yan Jin and Xuan Shui Black Dragon in the distance was briefly halted as a result—the light of the strange fire appeared dim and insignificant in front of the Void Devouring Flame.

Gu Yuan gazed at the seemingly hopeless battle, then suddenly took out a jade slip covered in cracks from his robes. It was the "Ancient Emperor's Key," a legendary artifact passed down through the ancient clans, said to be able to awaken the ruins of an ancient Battle Emperor.

"It seems that only this method..." He bit his tongue, his blood staining the jade slip, but just as he was about to activate it, a white streak of light fell from the sky, precisely shattering the jade slip. Looking up, He Xi was holding Xiao Yan, standing in mid-air, his fingertips still swirling with the lingering spatial power.

"Clan Chief Gu, I advise you to give up your futile resistance." He Xi's tone was calm, but it set off alarm bells in the hearts of all the Dou Sheng present. "Palace Master only needs three breaths to completely collapse the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent."

With a wave of her hand, countless golden runes appeared in the sky, each reflecting the phantom of Mo Xie. The Soul Emperor's pupils trembled violently—the arrangement of those runes was exactly the same as the pattern on the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's jade.

"Who... exactly are you?" The Soul Emperor's voice trembled, a rare occurrence.

He Xi remained silent, simply carrying Xiao Yan as they turned towards the battlefield: "Watch closely, this is true power." With a flick of her finger, a silver blade of light swept across, slicing the Medicine Clan Chief, Yao Dan, in the midst of battle, in two as if made of paper. Before the blood could even drip, it was evaporated into nothingness by some power.

This scene brought all the battles to an abrupt halt. Whether it was the spirit beast legion or the powerful figures of the Dou Qi Continent, they all stared in disbelief at this silver-haired angel—she had casually struck and instantly killed a Dou Sheng realm expert.

“Now,” He Xi’s voice resounded throughout the Central Plains, “lay down your weapons, or die.”

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence. Only the distant lava pool continued to gurgle, like the heartbeat of the entire world. The Soul Emperor clenched his fist, his nails digging deep into his palm—he could sense that He Xi's words were true. The seemingly young angel was now displaying a strength that surpassed the understanding of the Dou Qi Continent.

at the same time

The impatient Azure Dragon, high in the sky, slowly extended its millions-meter-long body and said coldly, "Alright! The training is over! I don't want to see you ants jumping around here and causing me so much annoyance when my master comes out!"

"Primordial Dragon's Fury!! Azure Dragon Transformation!!!"

As a powerful and ancient dragon's might erupted, the surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly from the force. The Azure Dragon's eyes widened in fury, and as the hand seals were completed, a pillar of light containing boundless dragon power shot into the sky. This pillar of dragon power possessed a mysterious, primordial color, as if it had fused various elements of heaven and earth, shimmering with multicolored light.

Within the pillar of light, the shadowy figures of dragons could be faintly seen churning. These dragons were of various shapes and sizes, some baring their fangs and claws, others roaring to the sky, all lifelike and seemingly possessing intelligence.

With a roar from the Azure Dragon, the dragon shadows, carrying world-destroying power, charged towards the enemy. Wherever they passed, space was torn open with black cracks, and the surrounding battle energy was thrown into chaos.

Gradually enveloped by a layer of azure light, this light grew increasingly intense, eventually forming a gigantic azure dragon phantom surrounding the main dragon. The azure dragon phantom exuded a powerful aura, its whiskers fluttering, its eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if it could see through everything.

As the Azure Dragon's furious pressure soared into the sky, the entire Central Continent instantly cracked and shattered. Countless cultivators from the Dou Qi Continent didn't even have a chance to react before being completely crushed into powder by the Azure Dragon's terrifying pressure.

Gu Yuan looked down at the shattered jade slip in his hand and suddenly let out a bitter laugh. He knew that this war was doomed from the very beginning.

"The ancient clans... have surrendered." His voice was hoarse, yet it clearly reached the ears of every member of the ancient clans. Immediately afterward, the patriarchs of the Thunder Clan and the Flame Clan laid down their weapons one after another.

As the Soul Emperor gazed upon this scene, he suddenly threw his head back and laughed, his laughter filled with resentment and despair. He knew that the era of the Soul Clan had come to an end.

As all eyes turned to the Soul Emperor, this once-powerful figure slowly calmed down from his resentment and despair, his gaze fixed on the six sky-covering phantoms and the five Origin King Swords that sealed the heavens and earth high in the sky.

Within the sealed space, the confrontation between Mo Xie and the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent stirred up a storm in the rules of the plane.

The chains of laws surrounding the illusory image of the Heavenly Dao burst forth with dazzling azure light. Each chain carried the weight of the plane's rules, resembling thousands of azure dragons soaring into the sky, rolling and roaring in the void, tearing space to shreds.

Thunderclouds surged in the sky, and countless bolts of lightning from the laws of the universe struck down. Each bolt contained the wrath of the heavenly laws of the plane, weaving a net of destruction within the sealed space, flashing with cyan lightning. Wherever it passed, space cracked like glass, revealing deep void fissures.

Mo Xie remained fearless, conjuring a crimson-gold flame in her hand with her halberd. The phoenix patterns on the halberd suddenly came to life, flapping their wings and emitting a clear and melodious phoenix cry, a sound containing the majesty to burn down the heavens.

"So what about the Heavenly Dao?" His voice was calm yet carried an overwhelming aura. He lightly swung his halberd, and a crimson-gold halberd beam tore through the lightning of the laws. Wherever the halberd beam passed, the azure lightning melted away like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, revealing five enormous energy planets behind Mo Xie. The power of right and wrong transformed into black and white fish that slowly rotated; the power of life condensed into lush green saplings that grew strong; the power of time and space transformed into hourglasses that reversed the flow of light; the power of wisdom blossomed into the phantom of a golden scroll; and the power of strength transformed into a towering, muscular giant. The five planets resonated with each other, outlining a cosmic landscape in the void that transcended the rules of planes.

Sensing the threat, the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent opened its massive maw and spewed out a beam of azure light containing the very essence of the plane. The azure light resembled a giant azure dragon, its body coiled with countless runes. Each rune represented the power of the laws of the Dou Qi Continent. Wherever it passed, space shattered, revealing dark void cracks. One could even see the mountains and rivers of the Dou Qi Continent trembling on the other side of the cracks.

Mo Xie smiled slightly, and his halberd met the azure light. Suddenly, the phoenix on the halberd spread its wings and transformed into a blazing red-gold flame. It swallowed the power of law in the azure light in one gulp. The flame emitted bursts of dragon roars and phoenix cries, and actually refined the original power of the Heavenly Dao into the purest energy, which was fed back to the five energy planets behind Mo Xie.

Seeing his power of laws easily devoured, the Heavenly Dao finally stopped holding back, raising his hands high, and the Emperor Flame, formed by the fusion of twenty-two different flames, descended like a domineering overlord.

The Emperor Flame takes many forms, sometimes transforming into a giant ball of fire. The flames, interwoven with colors such as red, blue, purple, and green, surge and roll like a raging torrent, as if they are about to devour the entire sealed space.

At times, he transforms into a fire giant, causing space to collapse with every step he takes, and when he unleashes his burning flaming sword, countless fiery sword energies tear through the void.

"Absolute Flame Wrath! Burn the Heavens and Boil the Seas!!" The Heavenly Dao's emotionless voice resounded throughout the sealed space. The Emperor Flame in his hand instantly expanded, enveloping the entire sealed space. The surrounding spatial barrier twisted violently, as if it would be melted by the terrifying high temperature at any moment.

Looking at the distorted space around him, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Mo Xie's dark golden pupils. "Six Hells Soul-Suppressing Tower! Activate!!"

With a soft shout, an ancient and menacing pagoda burst forth from the void behind him.

Suddenly, the Soul Stone on the first level of the Six Hells Soul-Suppressing Tower erupted with a ghostly green light. The howls of the wronged souls within the stone were deafening. Countless illusory soul hands emerged from the stone, weaving into a massive soul net that swept towards Di Yan. The Hell Ghost Reliefs on the second level suddenly came to life. One after another, ferocious ghosts leaped out from the tower, opening their blood-red maws to devour Di Yan's fiery power.

The black Netherfire on the third level collided with the Emperor's Flame, resulting in a violent explosion. The black and colorful flames intertwined, blooming with a dazzling yet dangerous light in the void.

Mo Xie softly uttered "Six Paths Soul Suppression Technique," and the Six Prisons Soul Suppression Tower suddenly erupted with dazzling black light. The tower body split into six identical Soul Suppression Towers like a mirror. Each tower was covered with twisted underworld runes, and the direction pointed to by the tower tips was different, but they formed a perfect hexagonal array, firmly trapping the illusory image of the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent in the center.

The six towers trembled simultaneously, emitting a shrill shriek like the wailing of ghosts. Six pitch-black chains appeared in the void, each chain wrapped with the wails of countless wronged souls, coiling around the limbs and neck of the celestial phantom as if they were living creatures.

The blood-red blade of the Asura Path continuously slashed at the connection between the laws of the Heavenly Dao and the Dou Qi Continent. Each slash produced a piercing sound like metal rubbing together, and sparked countless blue sparks of law.

The enormous black hole of the Hungry Ghost Realm frantically absorbed the primordial energy of the Heavenly Dao, and the body of the Heavenly Dao's illusory form gradually shrank as the energy dissipated.

The roar of the animal realm condensed into a physical sound wave, bombarding the illusory image of the Heavenly Dao like a heavy hammer, causing it to tremble all over and countless fine cracks to appear on its body of laws.

"This is... the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?!" The voice of the Heavenly Dao phantom cracked for the first time, filled with terror and disbelief. It was horrified to discover that its connection with the plane was being forcibly severed by the Soul Suppressing Tower.

Humanity's karmic fire surged from the bottom of the tower, like a burning river, spreading upwards along the feet of the illusory figure of Heaven. Wherever the karmic fire passed, the body of law was burned with pitch-black holes.

The sacred radiance of the Heavenly Dao transformed into barbs on the chains, specifically designed to break through the Heavenly Dao's defensive laws. Each barb pierced the body of the Heavenly Dao's illusory form, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the fear in its eyes.

The last path of hell was the most sinister, with a projection of the Nine Nether Abyss appearing in the tower. Countless shrill screams came from the abyss, dragging the lower half of the Heavenly Dao phantom into endless darkness. From the darkness, countless rotting hands reached out, tearing at the Heavenly Dao phantom's body.

Mo Xie stood with his hands behind his back, coldly observing the struggle of the Heavenly Dao: "This tower was built specifically to suppress the Heavenly Dao of a plane. Do you think that with only the power of the laws of a mid-level plane, you can break free from the shackles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

With a flick of his finger, the six Soul-Suppressing Towers simultaneously expanded, and countless runes appeared on their surfaces, each representing a remnant soul of the Heavenly Dao that had been suppressed.

Sensing new prey, the remnant souls reached out their illusory arms from the tower, grabbing at the trapped Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent. Each arm that touched the illusory image of the Heavenly Dao absorbed a trace of the power of the laws, making the illusory image of the Heavenly Dao even more illusory.

"No! I am the ruler of this world!" The illusory figure of the Heavenly Dao twisted its body wildly, breaking three of the chains of law, but was instantly slashed by the blade of the Asura Path, leaving an even deeper wound.

The black hole in the Hungry Ghost Realm had devoured nearly 30% of its original energy, its body had shrunk to half its original size, and its aura had become extremely weak.

The sonic waves from the Animal Path shattered its left half, revealing the blue blood of law flowing within. That blood contained the primordial power of the plane, which was completely absorbed by the Soul Suppressing Tower as soon as it appeared.

The power of the Hell Path is the most troublesome, dragging its consciousness into an endless illusion. Countless scenes of past and present lives surge in like a tide. Even as a Heavenly Path, it loses its way in this torrent of cause and effect. Its eyes become confused, and its struggling movements gradually slow down.

"Dominator? He's nothing but an ant with a limited view of the sky." Mo Xie raised his hand and waved it, and the six Soul-Suppressing Towers simultaneously released six beams of light, which condensed into a Wheel of Reincarnation above the Heavenly Dao phantom.

The plate was engraved with the palace patterns of the Wuji Heavenly Palace, each of which was several levels higher than the laws of the Dou Qi Continent. The palace patterns shimmered with golden light, as if telling the story of the majesty and power of the Wuji Heavenly Palace.

"Now, I'll show you what true dominance is."

The Wheel of Reincarnation spun violently, and the power of the six Soul-Suppressing Towers completely merged, forming a black pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth. Countless skull faces emerged from within the pillar of light.

The illusory image of the Heavenly Dao on the Dou Qi Continent completely collapsed under this power, its body of law shattered into countless points of light, which were all absorbed by the Reincarnation Disc. With each point of light absorbed, the palace patterns on the Reincarnation Disc became even brighter.

The six Soul-Suppressing Towers were reunited, and a blue pattern appeared on the tower, which was the remnant soul mark of the Heavenly Dao of the Dou Qi Continent. The pattern contained the power of the laws of the Dou Qi Continent, but it could no longer cause any ripples.

The sealed space returned to calm. Mo Xie held the Six Prisons Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, his eyes gleaming with an all-encompassing light. He looked towards the Dou Qi Continent, a cold smile playing on his lips. A new era belonging to the Boundless Heavenly Palace was about to unfold in this plane.
