Chapter 2240

The True Phoenix Star Domains, over a thousand star domains and countless worlds, fell into a twilight hell in that instant.

Originally, heaven and earth were harmonious, orderly, with distinct seasons, stars revolving, fire and lava flowing across the land—everything was so well-ordered.

But at a certain moment, heaven and earth grew dark, heavy clouds veiled the sky, and a sickly yellow light poured down.

Blood.

Countless blood and flesh.

Blood in the sky, blood in the earth, blood in the air—everywhere were exploding craters and shattered mountains and rivers, broken bones scattered everywhere, making it impossible to estimate how many living beings died directly or indirectly in this great catastrophe!

Even the Heavenly Dao seemed to have died.

All worlds turned into a blood-red world shrouded in dark clouds, hellish, with no trace of the former immortal sanctuaries' beauty.

"Ah—ah—ah——"

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

"I! This isn't me, not me——"

Among countless worlds, the thirty percent of survivors who were strong did not rejoice, but wailed and roared, their bodies collapsing as if their genes had ruptured and mutated.

Fingers, mouths, eyeballs sprouted one after another from faces and bodies, countless chaotic wills surfacing within their bodies.

At the instant the Heavenly Dao and rules collapsed, their bodies also underwent mutation!

Better dead than alive!

Surviving this terrifying cataclysm was not necessarily good—many strong beings of myriad races had their souls and dharma bodies mutate and collapse simultaneously, undergoing horrifying, inexplicable transformations that made this hellish world even more truly deserving of its name.

Occasionally, a strong being of myriad races would awaken for a moment in madness, see the scene of the mortal realm before them, and instantly fall into even deeper madness.

They saw eye after eye growing in the sacred, auspicious wings of the phoenix, the crimson, splendid wings becoming foul, with maggots writhing upon them;

They saw the supremely noble true dragon madly roaring, its vertical pupils blood-red, opening its forest of sharp teeth to bite its own tail, devouring it mouthful by mouthful;

They saw the immortal crane instantly shed its white feathers……

As far as the eye could see, the entire world had gone mad!

This madness even mercilessly spread to the True Phoenix Crimson Flame Imperial Heaven—once the supreme ruling center of over a thousand star domains, now turned into a ruin-like dead land, everywhere exploding depressions, majestic palaces shattered again and again, finally reduced to fine sand particles.

Here, blood was everywhere, deep enough to submerge a person to the waist, everywhere were crystalline, translucent flesh and blood, bones white as jade—any living being seeing these crystalline flesh, blood, and bones would know their owners were undoubtedly powerful beings from the Boundless Starry Sky, terrifying existences that had suppressed countless worlds.

But now, these powerful beings were all dead.

From their flesh and blood arose vengeful spirits, a new kind of maddening strangeness, even beginning to retroactively influence the Heavenly Dao of this region, plunging it into chaotic disorder—without external interference, it would not dissipate for millions of years, becoming a dangerous forbidden zone.

There were too many powerful beings in the True Phoenix Crimson Flame Imperial Heaven!

Almost no weak ones!

This also caused the most tragic disaster here—madness seeping into the Heavenly Dao, becoming part of it, shocking to behold.

Here, flesh and blood were everywhere, everywhere were the murmurs of the sea of consciousness and madness, plus mutated living beings scattered across the land.

Hellish.

"Your Majesty……"

"Phoenix Child, kill me……"

Around the Phoenix Heaven Nest, one quasi-emperor after another roared and bellowed, pleading.

That terrifying cataclysm attacked all living beings from all directions!

Indeed, it could be said that the stronger the living being, the more terrifying the attack it suffered, because its connection to the Heavenly Dao and rules was too close, nearly impossible to sever, thus suffering the most severe impact.

At the instant the cataclysm occurred, seven quasi-emperors of myriad races shattered silently and died, with no possibility of struggle.

The remaining several quasi-emperors fell into terrifying mutation.

The ancient Phoenix Heaven quasi-emperor's slender phoenix neck sprouted one after another long-haired skull, each pair of eyes shedding blood-tears, wailing, pleading, endless suffering.

Many quasi-emperors were the same—under such all-encompassing attack, they could do nothing, utterly powerless.

"Mother……"

The True Phoenix Child stood silently in the Phoenix Heaven Nest, her expression complex.

She suffered no influence.

The True Immortal Child's Dao foundation was too stable, too transcendent—her connection to the Heavenly Dao was of Boundless Starry Sky level; if the Boundless Starry Sky Heavenly Dao did not collapse, she could not possibly suffer any mishap.

Her soul and dharma body transcended the mortal realm, unaffected by anything.

All this only caused her to lose her wings, but could not diminish her own power.

"Mother,"

"If I am victorious, I will heal you."

The True Phoenix Child gathered the wailing Phoenix Heaven quasi-emperor, sealed him away, and sighed softly.

She silently gazed toward the distant, dim starry sky.

Tap.

Tap-tap……

Clear footsteps, like the sound of striking the strings of the three-thousand Dao zither.

In the distance, a youth in blue robes wearing a long sword approached this place.

His hair reached his waist, his features handsome and refined, his eyes flowing with black and white light, traces of scarlet, fervent killing intent clearly visible, his hand resting on the sword hilt, he stepped forward step by step toward this place, as if he had seen a dream goddess and could not wait to arrive.

The River of Fate surged exceptionally turbulent at this moment.

Over a thousand star domains and myriad worlds boiled at this moment, the Heavenly Dao and rules trembled, fierce winds rose, heaven darkened and earth grew dim, the Heavenly Dao seemed to sense this fated battle—the war that would influence the history of the Boundless Starry Sky.

A True Immortal Child's figure, filled with frenzied killing intent, was now reflecting across countless starry skies!

……

Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm.

Unlike the indifferent gaze of Gong Caiyu.

The Fusang Holy Maiden has especially liked coming here these years, to converse with the Supreme of Yin and Yang, and occasionally to pay respects to the ancestors of the Great Yin-Yang Sword Realm, the first Sword Master of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, the Sword Master of Xiyuan, the Supreme of Yang Bone, and other predecessors from those times, paying particular attention to these solemn rites.

Over these years, she and the Supreme of Yin and Yang have become close friends who can talk about anything, especially the Supreme of Yin.

"Yin,"

"You mean, Jiang Ding Zi originally should have had a Yin Sword Child, right?"

The Fusang Holy Maiden asked excitedly, gossiping.

She is a very powerful quasi-emperor, and at this moment she embraced the arm of the Supreme of Yin, who is only a Seven Tribulations Supreme, shaking it vigorously, overjoyed.

"There should have been……right?"

The Supreme of Yin said somewhat uncertainly: "Back then, my master said he once had the aura of a Yin Sword Child on him, of course very faint, you know, back when he was extremely weak, there weren't many secrets in front of the Supremes, and it seems there really was his Yin Sword Child contemporary with him……"

"Of course, there is absolutely no relationship between the two!"

"The Great Sun Sword Dao already discarded Yin at its birth, returning to the pure Yang path!"

The Supreme of Yin emphasized quickly.

If that person found out she was speaking ill behind his back, it would be over.

"There really is his Yin Sword Child……"

The Fusang Holy Maiden let out a light hum.

Boom—

At this moment, the Way of Heaven suddenly collapsed, chaos ensued, and a terrifying rules-disaster storm spread in all directions, triggering many disasters and mutations, causing several people's faces to suddenly change drastically, plunging them into fear as they desperately resisted this terrible calamity.

But unexpectedly, this terrifying disaster was like a gentle breeze brushing past, having no effect on them at all.

"This is!"

"Has it begun?"

The Fusang Holy Maiden's heart jolted, and she looked toward that vast horizon.

In that unknown how distant starry sky, the vital energies of two true immortals began to converge, triggering turmoil in the Way of Heaven, this terrifying scene spreading in all directions, shaking the starry sky.
