Divine pressure enclosed the all-heaven like a prison as the world reacted to the Sacred God's thoughts of destroying the all-heaven. Genesis Qi began to stir restlessly. To the all-heaven inhabitants' horror, they found that they had been separated from the surrounding Genesis Qi, losing their connection to it.
Even the all-heaven Saint experts discovered that their Saint force was being continuously shaved away.
In the Cangxuan Sect, the expressions of numerous Saint experts changed drastically, their faces turning aghast with terror.
One of the Saint experts exclaimed with an ugly expression, “The Sacred God has completed his transformation!”
“Such power...he's way more terrifying than before!” Although the Sacred God was already a very frightening existence to them previously, it had not reached the level where he could affect the all-heaven experts' control over Genesis Qi even without being present.
Jin Luo, Cang Yuan, Di Long and Chi Ji looked at each other, seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes. Such power could make anyone go crazy with despair.
“The Sacred God will soon descend.” Prime sovereign Jin Luo sighed deeply.
Although there was a great distance between them, crossing it would take only a moment for an existence like the Sacred God. When he eventually descended upon the all-heaven, all of them would soon face their doom.
Cang Yuan and the others looked towards the cave dwelling, their eyes glimmering with a final sliver of hope.
The cave held the all-heaven's final hope.
The terrified and panicking all-heaven inhabitants did not have to wait for long. They could feel an indescribable divine pressure gradually approaching from far away.
Countless living things lifted their heads.
A giant face that stretched beyond one's sights appeared outside the sky and indifferently observed the all-heaven. Countless people trembled uncontrollably under its gaze, their Spirits beginning to show signs of crumbling.
“Are all of you prepared?” An indifferent voice spread from outside the heavens, booming in every corner of the world like thunder.
The all-heaven Saint experts immediately realized to their horror that the Genesis Qi in the all-heaven was swiftly disappearing. After a few seconds, the all-heaven became akin to an ordinary world without Genesis Qi.
This change made the all-heaven inhabitants shake in fear. They were already accustomed to the presence of Genesis Qi and it was the very source of their strength. The disappearance of Genesis Qi was undoubtedly akin to severing their roots.
Countless people wept in despair.
Laughter rang out outside the heavens, quickly followed by a strange and mysterious mumbling. Unknown words descended like a curse, transmitting into every individual's ears.
AHHH!
As the curse-like mumbling spread, the all-heaven inhabitants shrieked in horror because the Genesis Qi in their bodies had begun to devour them from the inside. The Genesis Qi they had painstakingly cultivated for years seemed to transform into countless maggots that began eating away at their insides.
In the Cangxuan Sect, countless disciples writhed on the ground in pain. Many Law Domain and Saint experts' brows were tightly knitted together as they tried their hardest to restrain the rebelling Genesis Qi. However, their efforts were clearly gradually losing effectiveness as the mysterious mumbling intensified.
Powerlessness washed over them. Was this the Sacred God's power? Effortlessly turning their own Genesis Qi against them.
Countless streams of blood-red qi began to rise from the land, flowing towards the sky. Every stream represented an all-heaven inhabitant's essence and Genesis Qi being devoured.
It was an extremely tragic scene.
Jin Luo, Cang Yuan and the other prime sovereigns' faces were filled with sorrow as they raised their heads to watch. Although Innumerable generations had fought hard for so many years, was the all-heaven ultimately still unable to avoid their fate of being erased by the Sacred God?
Dong!
While the all-heaven inhabitants were howling in despair, the sound of something colliding against an ancient cauldron suddenly rang out across the land, spreading to the entire all-heaven.
The sound seemed to contain a magical power that cancelled out the mysterious mumbling from the Sacred God.
At the same time, the originally rising blood-red qi streams suddenly stopped and reversed direction, returning to their respective bodies.
The originally withered bodies suddenly began to regrow their flesh as their owners dazedly opened their eyes.
The all-heaven inhabitants were bewildered, unable to understand what had happened.
“Oh?” A seemingly surprised voice sounded from outside the heavens.
In the Cangxuan Sect, Cang Yuan, Jin Luo and the other prime sovereigns' expressions changed as their gazes abruptly turned towards a certain cave dwelling.
The divine light spreading from the cave had completely receded. They stared at the entrance as the faint sound of footsteps rang out from the dark passage.
Moments later, a figure walked out from the shadows.
Even the wind did not dare to blow at this moment.
The gazes of Cang Yuan, Jin Luo and the others paused on the figure. “Is that…Zhou Yuan?”
The figure's face was all too familiar. It was Zhou Yuan, but he seemed to have undergone a tremendous transformation.
The aura he gave off made Cang Yuan and the others feel as if they were ants staring at the milky way.
Every breath he took seemed capable of affecting their life or death.
Zhou Yuan's black hair was scattered behind him, his deep and immeasurable eyes able to shake even one's soul. Runes covered his skin, seemingly containing the world's most ancient secrets.
When he walked out of the shadows and appeared in everyone's sights, Genesis Qi suddenly appeared once again and bowed to him like subjects bowing to their king.
Jin Luo, Cang Yuan and the others realized that the Genesis Qi in their bodies had completely submitted to Zhou Yuan, like citizens that had seen their emperor.
It was utterly silent. No one dared to speak. Everyone held their breaths as they quietly stared at the figure.
Zhou Yuan's expression was calm. When he arrived at Tuntun's side, he reached out and gently stroked its scales.
Tuntun looked towards Zhou Yuan and let out a sorrowful whimper.
Zhou Yuan's other hand was on his chest. He could feel something deep within his flesh that had not been there before. It was this very object that made him whole and perfect.
It was the divine bone.
The bone Yaoyao had transformed herself into.
He could even clearly feel the final strand of Yaoyao's aura flowing within his flesh, eternally fused together with him.
Zhou Yuan raised his head and took a deep breath, refusing to allow the tears in his eyes from falling.
In the end, he said, “Tuntun, believe me. I will definitely bring Yaoyao back.”
He shifted his gaze towards the giant face outside the heavens as endless ice-cold killing intent surged out in his eyes like a tsunami.
The entire land's temperature rapidly plummeted.
“However, I'm going to deal with this main offender first.”
Under countless gazes, Zhou Yuan walked forward. Space rippled around him and a dazzling ball of divine light soared into the air, bringing the all-heaven's final hope as it broke through the sky.
As they watched, Cang Yuan, Jin Luo and the others knew that the final battle to decide the all-heaven's fate had finally arrived.
