Rolling thunder condensed together, transforming into a pair of blood-colored chaotic eyes.
The eyes seemed to occupy the entire Celestial Desolation, devoid of any emotion, only showing indifference towards all living beings.
"This is the Eye of Heavenly Dao!"
"The Heavenly Dao has awakened!"
Many ancient Quasi-Emperors changed their expressions drastically upon seeing the blood-colored eyes.
Heavenly Dao!
This is the ruler of the Immortal Extinction Realm.
But the Heavenly Dao is elusive and intangible, and many cultivators, even upon hearing its name, have never truly witnessed the existence of the Heavenly Dao.
Yet when the Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared, they naturally understood in their hearts, this was the Heavenly Dao.
To be precise.
This is the eye of the Heavenly Dao.
At this moment.
Gu Qingyang also activated the Eye of Heavenly Dao.
...
Name: Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm
Essence: Heavenly Dao
Rank: Ninth Stage Perfection
Constitution: Heavenly Dao Divine Body
...
"Ninth Stage Perfection!"
"As expected of a world capable of nurturing Quasi-Immortals, its Heavenly Daoâs power surpasses that of the Taiyuan Realmâs Heavenly Dao!"
Gu Qingyangâs eyes shone with brilliance.
Since seeing the realms of the Desolate Ancient Human Emperor and the Ancient Demon Emperor, he had already understood that the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm was anything but simple.
Otherwise,
how could it nurture powerhouses at the half-step Tenth Stage?
But upon truly witnessing the power of the Taiyuan Realmâs Heavenly Dao, Gu Qingyang couldnât help but be somewhat shocked.
Ninth Stage Perfection.
This indicated that the other had already reached the ninth stage limit, just one step away from transforming into an Immortal.
Whether thereâs a half-step Tenth Stage for the Heavenly Dao, Gu Qingyang wasnât sure, but judging from the power glimpsed through the Eye of Heavenly Dao, average Great Emperors couldnât possibly be its match.
After all, past Great Emperors only possessed ninth stage superior power; none could handle a Ninth Stage Perfection level Heavenly Dao.
It should be known.
The power of the Heavenly Dao is inherently immensely formidable.
Ordinary cultivators, even if of the same realm, find it extremely difficult to defeat the Heavenly Dao.
From the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm, Gu Qingyang indirectly understood one thing.
That is, the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm likely had been wounded long ago, hence why it sought to devour the Cyan Yang Realm to nurture itself.
Otherwise.
With the Immortal Extinction Realmâs Heavenly Daoâs power, it shouldnât have ended up mutually harmful with the Cyan Yang Realmâs Heavenly Dao.
Itâs not that Gu Qingyang looked down on the Cyan Yang Realmâs Heavenly Dao, but the Cyan Yang Realm had experienced drastic changes since ancient times, and its strength was severely impaired.
Besides.
Judging from the Cyan Yang Realmâs situation, even if undamaged, its strength would likely only rival that of the Taiyuan Realmâs Heavenly Dao, so how could it end up in a mutual defeat with the Immortal Extinction Realmâs Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, Gu Qingyang is certain that the Immortal Extinction Realm was already wounded.
As for what entity could wound the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm, Gu Qingyang does not know.
At this moment.
The Eye of Heavenly Dao looked towards Gu Qingyang, then countless blood-colored thunderbolts struck down, intending to completely obliterate this outsider.
The terrifying power tore through the void, plunging the entire Celestial Desolation into an apocalyptic scene.
This strikeâs power had reached the Great Emperor level.
Gu Qingyangâs expression remained unchanged, his right hand forming a sword technique, a finger imprinting the void as an extremely domineering Sword Gang blasted out, colliding with the blood-colored thunder.
"Boomââ"
The entire world plunged into instant darkness.
All powerhouses witnessing this scene displayed horrified expressions.
Immediately following, the aftershock exploded from between the two, spreading it far and wide.
Many cultivators couldnât evade in time and were engulfed by this power, even True Monarch powerhouses disintegrated in an instant.
"Quickly retreat!"
The remaining cultivators, upon witnessing this scene, hurriedly withdrew.
What a joke.
They couldnât withstand even the battle remnants.
This level of battle was simply not something they could intervene in.
Di Xuan fixedly stared at the battle in the void, the might exhibited by the Heavenly Dao and Gu Qingyang filled him with deep unease.
If it was before swearing allegiance, Di Xuan hoped the Heavenly Dao could kill Gu Qingyang, but now that he had taken a blood oath, he instead hoped Gu Qingyang could defeat the Heavenly Dao.
After all, the Demon Race had sworn allegiance to the Cyan Yang Divine Court, if Gu Qingyang perished, their blood oath wouldnât be lifted either.
Nonethelessââ
The Heavenly Dao was lofty and untouchable.
The fearsome might that made all beings instinctively wish to surrender.
If Gu Qingyang could deal with such an entity was also a question.
...
In the void.
Strands of blood-colored thunder tore through the void, yet were all shattered on the spot by Gu Qingyang.
Immediately following.
A majestic figure stepped out of the blood-colored thunder, the overwhelming Emperorâs Might permeating the void, as a finger aimed to suppress Gu Qingyang.
"Great Emperorâs Seal!"
Gu Qingyangâs face turned solemn as he lifted his hand, Sword Qi tearing the void, colliding fiercely with the opponentâs power.
The majestic figure before him was the Great Emperor Illusion.
To be precise.
This was the power drawn from the ancient time river, a hidden part of the power of a Great Emperor who had testified the Dao in the Immortal Extinction Realm, summoned by the Heavenly Dao.
Such a Great Emperorâs Seal was incomparable to the one hidden within an Emperorâs Soldier.
Though it didnât possess the peak periodâs power, it had firmly stepped into the Great Emperor level.
In the void.
The two majestic figures battled fiercely.
Both Gu Qingyang and the Great Emperor Illusion possessed power comparable to the ninth stage, the battleâs momentum immensely grand.
The Great Emperor Illusionâs palm and fist moved wondrously, every strike terrifyingly powerful, and amongst them, some techniques simplified to control the forces of heaven and earth.
In just a moment.
A second Great Emperor Illusion soon appeared.
Upon seeing the second Great Emperor Illusion, the Ji Family Patriarch was momentarily startled, then looked horrified.
"This is our Ji Familyâs Qingyang Emperor!"
Qingyang Emperor!
The Ji Familyâs sole Great Emperor powerhouse.
Moreover, he was an invincible Great Emperor from ancient times.
Although Qingyang Emperor perished on the Path to Immortality, his image was always preserved within the Ji Family as a legacy treasure only accessible to the true Ji Family upper echelon.
Now, with the appearance of this Great Emperor Illusion, its visage identical to the Ji Familyâs legacy portrait, with just a glance, the Ji Family Patriarch could recognize this as their ancient Great Emperor.
Soon.
A third Great Emperor Illusion appeared.
The latter was a female Great Emperor, adorned with a Phoenix Crown, gazing at the world with domineering eyes. Her right hand struck the void, like the moon rising above the sea, gentle moonlight encompassing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, her devouring power no weaker than the previous two Great Emperor Illusions.
"Water Moon Emperor!"
Seeing the peerless figure with the Phoenix Crown, the powerhouses of the Water Moon Empire also showed reverence in their eyes.
Throughout history, female Great Emperors were extremely rare.
The Water Moon Emperor rose from obscurity, attesting to the Dao during the Desolate Ancient era, establishing the Water Moon Empire with her unparalleled talent.
When the Water Moon Emperor appeared, another series of Great Emperor Illusions continued to emerge in the void.
In just a moment, thirteen Great Emperor Illusions had appeared, each possessing power at the Great Emperor level, their auraâs emanation causing the entire world to tremble violently, filling all beings with terror.
