From Godhood to the Heavens

"Lunar Eclipse!" The Moon Fairy endured her injuries, forming hand seals. Her blood-stained robes fluttered in the turbulent energy flow. The clear, bright moon above her head suddenly turned pitch black, like a black hole that devoured all light.

A cold, deathly, and annihilating power, capable of freezing the cycle of all things, descended silently, precisely enveloping the Demon Emperor's head, its target the white lotus.

This power was silent, yet it carried the deathly intent to end all things, and even space itself seemed to be frozen and heading towards decay.

"Suppress the Demons of Ten Thousand Mountains!" The Stone Emperor's hair and beard bristled with rage, and the divine blood he spat out transformed into specks of golden light that merged into the bronze giant shield. The giant shield hummed, and the mountain and river reliefs on its cracked surface burst forth with unprecedented light. The shield itself instantly etherealized and expanded, transforming into a vast and boundless projection of an ancient divine mountain!

Countless peaks, carrying an unparalleled weight that suppresses the entire world, rumbled and tore through space, crashing down upon the Demon Emperor! Its force was so immense that it seemed to press the entire capital city along with the Demon Emperor into the depths of the Netherworld.

"Nine Flames Burn the Heavens!" The Nine Flames Emperor went all out. Nine fiery dragons, each with a different form and representing the ultimate laws of fire in the world, roared out from his body. Crimson gold, azure blue, pale white, and deep blue... the nine-colored divine fire dragons intertwined and coiled, burning the void, purifying all evil, and forming a world-destroying fire array that would burn away all heavens. It swept upwards from below, determined to refine the Demon Emperor and that white lotus into nothingness!

The four emperors, holding nothing back and pouring out their life's cultivation, had only one goal—the white lotus between the Demon Emperor's brows, which connected to a terrifying being from beyond the realm! Four forces powerful enough to destroy stars completely sealed off the Demon Emperor from the four directions: above, below, left, and right. Space was utterly frozen and compressed, with destruction as the sole theme!

"Heh... the light of an ant dares to blaspheme the holy radiance?" The Demon Emperor, or rather, the body driven by the will of the White Lotus Saint King, let out a non-human sneer. He didn't even raise a hand. The white lotus between his brows merely turned slightly.

hum!

A pure, gentle ripple of white light, imbued with supreme laws, silently spread out from the white lotus at its center.

Time and space seemed to lose their meaning at this moment.

The devastating torrent of black dragon breath collided with the white light, melting and annihilating silently like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, without even causing a ripple. For the first time, an expression of near-fear appeared in Ao Xuan's enormous dragon eyes.

The deathly power of the "Lunar Eclipse," which had frozen the cycle of reincarnation, was swept over by that pure white light and instantly crumbled and dissipated, like thin ice being thrown into boiling water. The Moon Fairy's body trembled again, her face as pale as paper.

The vast and oppressive projection of the ancient divine mountain, upon touching the thin layer of white light ripples, groaned under its unbearable weight. Countless illusory mountain peaks shattered, and the earthen-yellow divine light flickered like a candle in the wind. The immense force of the recoil caused the Stone Emperor to grunt, and the array of bronze chariots beneath his feet slid backward once more. More divine weapons were reduced to dust in the shockwave.

The Heaven-Burning Array, composed of nine-colored divine fire dragons, began to "burn" the instant it touched the white light! The divine laws constituting the flames were forcibly disintegrated and distorted, and the nine fire dragons let out painful cries. The divine fire on their bodies rapidly dimmed and shrank, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. The Nine Flame Emperor was struck as if by a heavy hammer; the divine flames around him suddenly darkened, and his aura fluctuated violently.

The earth-shattering attack unleashed by the combined might of the four emperors was effortlessly and silently neutralized by the white lotus with a mere flick of its wrist! The chasm between their cultivation levels, like an insurmountable barrier, was laid bare in this moment.

Despair, like a cold, venomous snake, gnawed at the hearts of every powerful figure present. The Stone Emperor stared at his nearly shattered phantom shield; the Dragon Granny and her husband felt the weak, mournful cries emanating from the twin dragon souls; Fairy Moonlight looked at her charred, tattered sleeves; and the divine fire within the Nine Flames Emperor dimmed… They had roamed this realm for tens of thousands of years, yet now they were like ants facing a colossal elephant.

The white lotus between the Demon Emperor's brows shone even brighter, and his indifferent divine will swept across the battlefield, as if admiring his perfect creation and the lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

He slowly raised his hand, and a pure white light began to condense at his fingertips. The target was none other than the Dragon Lady and her husband, whose auras were the most disordered and whose will to resist was the strongest! Although the white light was small, it caused the black and white dragons under the Dragon Lady's mount to let out a deathly scream, and their scales stood on end!

At that critical moment, when the four emperors were trembling with shock and almost overwhelmed by despair—

"Om-!"

A clear, majestic, and dignified roar suddenly erupted from the ranks of the three great dynasties' allied forces below! The sound pierced through the howling of demonic fire, overwhelmed the sound of space shattering, and soared straight to the heavens!

A pure, condensed, and seemingly formed golden light from the convergence of countless ancient sects' wills tore through the pale white and demonic purple that enveloped the world, like a giant golden sword that split the heavens and earth, fiercely piercing the sky! Within the golden light, countless majestic phantoms of sect gods appeared and disappeared, holding halberds and swords, their eyes wide with anger, their belief and laws of protecting all families being pushed to the extreme!

It was Yue Fei! The enormous guardian deity statue beneath him, formed from the national fortune of the Song Dynasty and the incense offerings of countless people, spontaneously and beyond imagination erupted under the terrifying stimulation of the Demon Emperor's breakthrough to the main god level and the peak of the White Lotus's oppressive power, and under the urging of Yue Fei's resolute will to die!

This golden light is not an attack, but a protection! It is the ironclad rule of the gate, isolating the inside from the outside and suppressing evil spirits!

The golden light was not aimed at the Demon Emperor himself, but at the white lotus that floated between the Demon Emperor's eyebrows and emitted a holy light from beyond the realm!

Time seemed to stretch out as the golden light, imbued with the protective will of countless guardian deities, collided violently with the pure white light emanating from the white lotus, representing the supreme existence beyond the realm, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no raging energy surge.

Only silent annihilation and violent conflict at the level of laws!

laugh--!

Like a red-hot iron plunged into ice water, or like two absolutely repulsive laws eroding and devouring each other! At the interface where the golden light and white light met, space silently annihilated into a massive black hole with constantly twisting and shattering edges! A piercing scream, as if countless chains of laws were forcibly snapped, resounded deep within the soul of every living being!

"Ugh—!"

The Demon Emperor, who had been looking down with the indifference of a god, suddenly stiffened! For the first time, intense pain and contortion appeared on his face, which had been transformed into something almost perfect by the power of the white lotus! The holy white lotus between his brows suddenly became extremely unstable, flickering wildly!

An even more horrifying sight appeared!

On the Demon Emperor's demonic body, which was constructed from demonic fire and the divine power of the white lotus and was so solid that even the four emperors could not shake it when they joined forces, countless fine cracks, like a spider web, appeared centered on the white lotus between his eyebrows!

The cracks spread rapidly, like a piece of glass porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, instantly covering his face, neck, chest, and limbs... Within the cracks, there was no longer surging demonic energy or divine power, but rather a chilling darkness that seemed to connect to an endless abyss of nothingness!

Wisps of foul black gas, not belonging to this world, carrying the smell of sulfur and decay, were uncontrollably escaping from those cracks!

It's like stripping away the cloak of holy light...
