Chapter 1637 A Stunning Figure
Gazing at the vortex not far away, the two men's expressions grew increasingly solemn. They stared intently at the vortex, remaining vigilant and on high alert.
What awaits them?
The golden vortex spun wildly in the starry sky, causing the surrounding void to crumble inch by inch, the Milky Way to reverse, and the stars to dim. The supreme heavenly might swept in like a tide, pressing down on the spiritual energy of the entire peerless universe, causing even the restrictions of the Human Emperor's Palace to hum under the unbearable pressure.
At the center of the vortex, a figure radiating golden light slowly emerged from the air.
The Lord of Heaven has descended completely!
He wore a gilded Heavenly Dao Saint Robe, the hem of which was embroidered with endless Dao patterns and starry rivers. His body was surrounded by pure and ultimate primal power. With each step he took, golden Dao pattern lotus flowers would condense in the void beneath his feet. His eyes were indifferent as ice, devoid of any emotion, as if all things in the world were ants. His gaze swept over Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi, his eyes filled with only piercing mockery and disdain.
Peak of the Dao Realm, Lord of the Heavenly Dao!
This aura was several times stronger than what Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi had sensed. It was the pressure of the source power infused by the shadowy powerhouse from the upper realm. It was the supreme power that truly controlled the rules of the lower realm. With a wave of his hand, he could overturn rivers and seas, and with a flick of his wrist, he could obliterate stars. The Dao Realm was as insignificant as a child in front of him.
"Two mere ants at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm dare to block my path?"
The Heavenly Dao Lord's voice was calm, yet carried the supreme majesty of the Heavenly Dao, resounding throughout the entire starry sky. Wherever his voice passed, even space itself trembled. "I have guarded the lower realm for countless epochs and have seen countless geniuses and powerful beings. In my eyes, beings like you are nothing more than dust that can be destroyed with a flick of my finger. Today, I have come by imperial decree to flatten the three great universes of the lower realm. Do you even dare to try and stop me?"
Song Qinghong gripped the Sword of Dao tightly, and golden light surged from the blade. He released all the primal power of the Dao Realm, and Dao patterns flowed around his body, forcefully pushing back the oppressive force of the Heavenly Dao!
He raised his eyes and stared directly at the Lord of Heaven, his voice like thunder, each word resounding: "Lord of Heaven, you have trespassed into the lower realm and intend to annihilate billions of lives in my lower realm. Where does your authority come from in such an act? In my peerless universe, there are countless humans and numerous demons, all of whom possess pride and integrity. How can you allow your wanton slaughter?!"
"Arrogance?"
The Heavenly Dao Lord sneered, his mockery deepening. "In the face of absolute power, so-called pride is nothing but a joke that leads to self-destruction. I, who rule the rules of the lower realm, am the heaven of the lower realm. If I say you are ants, you will never become true dragons! Today, I will show you what it means for the upper realm to be irreversible, and what it means to have the power of life and death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao Master raised his hand and struck out with a palm.
There were no fancy moves, only the purest and most primordial power of the Heavenly Dao, which condensed into a golden palm print that blotted out the sky. Within the palm print was a terrifying power that could crush all Dao Realm beings. Wherever it passed, galaxies exploded, the void was annihilated, and even the barrier of the Dao Realm was crumbled inch by inch under this palm, heading straight for Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi!
"Senior brother, let's join forces!"
With a low shout, Song Qinghong unleashed the Sword of Dao, sending a ten-thousand-foot-long golden sword light soaring into the sky. Within the sword light lay the Dao of protecting all living beings, the Dao of indomitable spirit!
Zhang Zishi's eyes flashed with cold light. He drew his Azure Lotus Sword, its azure light crisscrossing the starry sky. The rune chains on his arms tightened, and the azure lotus Daoist aura swept in all directions. The two sword lights intertwined, one golden and one azure, like two giant dragons, crashing fiercely into the golden palm print!
boom! ! !
A deafening roar exploded in the starry sky. The moment the golden palm print collided with the two sword lights, endless energy shockwaves swept across the entire starry sky like a tsunami. All the stars within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were annihilated into dust, and the void was torn open with dark cracks. The cracks were bottomless, and even the power of the Dao Realm could not smooth them out!
Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi felt an irresistible force coming from the sword. Their internal organs felt as if they were being hit by a heavy hammer. They felt a sweet taste in their throats and spat out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies were like kites with broken strings, and they were forced to retreat hundreds of feet before they could finally stabilize themselves. The Dao patterns around their bodies were trembling violently, and the light of the Dao Sword and the Azure Lotus Sword dimmed a bit!
The Heavenly Dao Lord remained motionless, standing proudly in the starry sky, not even the hem of his clothes fluttering in the slightest!
"Vulnerable."
The Heavenly Dao Lord spoke calmly, his tone completely unwavering, as if the previous palm strike was merely a casual gesture. "I haven't even truly made a move, yet you are already severely injured. Is this what you call the strongest in the lower realm? It seems I've overestimated you ants all these years!"
He raised his hand, and a golden Heavenly Dao Holy Sword condensed at his fingertips. Dao patterns flowed on the holy sword, and its power was overwhelming. It was a true Heavenly Dao Sword, capable of severing all Dao rhythms and obliterating all divine souls. "Since you are so ungrateful, then I will kill you first, and then raze the Human Emperor's Palace to the ground, so that the beings of the lower realm can see the consequences of defying the Heavenly Dao!"
The holy sword swept across the sky, its golden light piercing the sun. With a single strike, it seemed as if the entire starry sky had been cleaved in two!
Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with determination. They knew that this sword strike was the Heavenly Dao Lord's full-force attack, and if they couldn't withstand it, today would be the day they would die and their souls would perish.
The two held back, burning all the original power of the Dao Realm around them. The light of the Dao Sword and the Azure Lotus Sword surged again, and the two figures rose into the air, intending to use their lives as shields to withstand this Heavenly Dao Holy Sword!
At this critical moment, a powerful roar suddenly resounded through the starry sky!
"You old scoundrel of Heavenly Dao, do not harm the descendants of my Human Emperor Palace!"
A crimson-gold figure rushed straight from the direction of the Human Emperor's Palace like a shooting star, his killing aura soaring into the sky. A blood-red battle blade in his hand cleaved through the air, its light as red as blood, tearing through the sky. It was none other than An Lan, the Supreme Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace!
Following closely behind, three figures arrived one after another. Song Chen was surrounded by the Daoist aura of ten thousand demons, and the power of the demon race's origin condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long demon claw. Sun Guyue's golden cudgel stood tall, and the power of battle origin shook the starry river. The three-eyed general opened his vertical eye between his eyebrows, and golden light burst forth, seeing through the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao Holy Sword. The three powerful forces intertwined and forcefully blocked the Heavenly Dao Holy Sword!
boom! ! !
Another loud bang! An Lan and the others were all at the peak of the Eternal Realm. Even with the four of them working together, they couldn't withstand the remaining power of the Heavenly Dao Holy Sword. Several cracks appeared on the blood-red battle blade, Song Chen's demonic claws disintegrated inch by inch, Sun Guyue's golden cudgel trembled with a buzzing sound, and the three-eyed general's vertical eye bled. All four of them coughed up blood and flew backward, but they still stood firmly in front of Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi without retreating in the slightest.
"Is there anyone who is not afraid of death?"
A cold glint flashed in the Heavenly Dao Lord's eyes, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger. "It seems that today, I will make all of you ants perish here!"
"We are by no means cowards who fear death!"
Willow God's voice slowly rang out, and a beam of emerald light swept over. The essence of grass and trees condensed into an endless green shield, steadily catching An Lan and the other three who were flying backward. The Fire Spirit War God was surrounded by raging flames, and the primordial fire burned the void, transforming into a sea of fire barrier. Song Mujian held a long sword. Although he was only at the Sovereign Realm, he still stood proudly in the starry sky. The killing aura around him was no less than that of others. He was an elder of the Song family and a guardian of the Human Emperor's Palace. Today, he would never back down!
One after another, figures appeared in the starry sky. They were all powerful figures from the Human Emperor Palace. Their cultivation levels varied, including the Sovereign Realm, the Eternal Realm, and the Half-Step Dao Realm. Yet, not one of them retreated. They all stood side by side, protecting Song Qinghong and Zhang Zishi behind them, their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Dao Master with unwavering determination.
They knew they couldn't get involved in battles at the Dao Realm level; the aftershocks of the Heavenly Dao Lord could easily obliterate them. But they also knew that behind them was the Human Emperor Palace, the Peerless Universe, and the billions of living beings in the entire Lower Realm. They were the Supreme Elders of the Human Emperor Palace and the top experts in the Lower Realm. How could they stand by and watch their juniors fight desperately while they themselves survived?
"Elders!"
Song Qinghong's eyes reddened, and his heart burned. He knew that these elders had all come with the determination to die.
"Qinghong, Zishi, you are the hope of the lower realm. How can you speak of life and death so lightly?"
Li Taibai stepped out slowly, the aura of the Azure Lotus Dao swirling around him. He released the full power of his peak half-step Dao Realm aura, and the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand trembled slightly, its sword intent soaring to the sky. "I am the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal. I have spent my life cultivating the sword, and my sword heart has always been steadfast. Today, I will use this Azure Lotus Sword to protect you all and the common people of the lower realm!"
Just then, Li Ruxuan, along with Wuji Tianmo, Yao Wuxin, Gu Yaoyao, and Yin Yang Archangel, arrived through the air. The primal power of the Central Plains Universe swept in all directions. Li Ruxuan's face was calm, but her voice carried the majesty of the universe's origin!
"Lord of Heaven, do you think you can easily crush the lower realms? The primal power of the Great Light Universe, the primal power of the Great Dark Universe, and the primal power of the Central Plains Universe have all converged here today. If you want to fight, we will accompany you to the very end!"
The auras of four peak half-step Dao Realm cultivators, combined with Li Ruxuan's power of the universe's origin, instantly caused the combat power of the entire starry sky to surge several times over. Everyone stood shoulder to shoulder—humans, demons, monsters, angels, and cosmic consciousness. At this moment, there was no distinction between races or factions; they were all united in their struggle against the Heavenly Dao Lord.
The Heavenly Dao Lord's expression finally changed for the first time. The mockery in his eyes faded, replaced by a cold killing intent and a hint of sinister ruthlessness: "Good, very good! A bunch of chickens and dogs dare to join forces to resist me. It seems that today, I will send you down to the mortal realm to completely sever your lineage."
The power of the Heavenly Dao's origin erupted completely around him, his gilded holy robes fluttered without wind, and the golden light on the Heavenly Dao Holy Sword shone even brighter. At this moment, the Heavenly Dao Lord truly harbored murderous intent, unleashing the full pressure of his peak Dao Realm. The entire starry sky succumbed to his pressure! "Since you all wish to die, then I will grant your wish. Today, I will make all of you turn into dust in this starry sky!"
