Chapter 1801: The Myriad Phase Seed's Scheme

When Sect Master An's eerie, frigid voice drifted down slowly, Li Luo's heart instantly surged with towering waves, while a bone-chilling coldness swept out from within his body, making him feel as though he stood in an ice cellar.

His gaze, too, had darkened to the extreme.

What did Sect Master An mean by that?!

What did she mean by the "Myriad Phase Seed" being something she left behind?!

As if she had glimpsed the terror and fury in Li Luo's heart, Sect Master An gave a faint smile and kindly explained, "Considering your merit in nurturing the Myriad Phase Seed, I can resolve the doubts in your heart."

"Back then, when I fought the Source of All Evil and that sect master to the very end, they poured out their remaining strength to seal me away, while I played a hidden hand, restoring the Myriad Phase Seed within the sect master's body to its original state, transforming it into a seed of its primal form, and placing it within the sect's ruins."

"Because when I break free of my seal in the future, I will still need this Myriad Phase Seed to help me complete my plan of fusing the worlds."

"However, what I need is a Myriad Phase Seed that has reached its peak and forged the Ten Divine Seals, so I still require a perfect vessel to help me restore this Myriad Phase Seed to its prime."

"And you... are the vessel I have been searching for."

"You have performed your task excellently; I am very satisfied."

Sect Master An's gaze as she looked at Li Luo was filled with softness.

Li Luo's face was grim, and boundless fury and icy coldness welled up within his heart. He had never imagined that the Myriad Phase Seed within him was actually part of Sect Master An's scheme!

What an immensely long span of plotting was this?

Perhaps, when Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan entered the ruins of the Faceless Holy Sect back then, all of this had already fallen into Sect Master An's calculations.

What a terrifying ability this was.

This black hand stretched across the river of years, drawing everything into its calculations.

At this moment, the terror and fury within Li Luo had reached their absolute peak.

He could not accept that all his efforts until now had been nothing more than a chess piece in Sect Master An's scheme, a vessel for cultivating the Myriad Phase Seed!

And now, this Sect Master An still wanted to completely seize his Myriad Phase Seed from him. If he lost the Myriad Phase Seed, all of his foundations and reserves would collapse along with it—a total annihilation.

This was something he absolutely could not allow!

Sect Master An also saw the fury and resolve in Li Luo's eyes, and immediately gave a soft sigh, saying, "That is not something that belongs to you. To covet another's possession as your own—how impolite that would be."

"So, return it to me."

As her words fell, she extended a slender, pale palm. The instant her palm reached out, every living being across the ten great Outer Shenzhou suddenly felt their vision plunge into darkness, as if an indescribable giant hand of darkness had enveloped the entire world.

That palm reached straight toward Li Luo to grab him.

"All Heavenly Kings, converge upon the grand array!"

Jiang Li Tianwang's roar thundered out like a sudden peal of lightning.

The next instant, the numerous Heavenly Kings also shouted in unison, streams of wondrous rank-power surging skyward, transforming into boundless divine light that converged within the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array."

This An Li Tianwang, having fused with the "Source of All Evil," possessed absolute suppression over aberrant beings of the dark world, so even the Great Demon King Minghou and others were easily restrained by him. Fortunately, the Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings were not subject to such suppression and could still resist together.

They clearly could not sit idly by while Sect Master An stripped the Myriad Phase Seed from Li Luo's body, for once its power reached perfection, it could truly complete her plan and forcibly fuse the two worlds.

As the Heavenly Kings embedded every strand of their rank-power into the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array," the ancient, majestic grand array began to unleash an unprecedented surge of power.

The divine light swept forth, transforming into a divine blade whose end could not be seen.

Upon the divine blade flowed countless strands of rank-power; its edge carried the force to rend worlds.

This blade was named "Demon-Trap."

The "Golden Primeval Tree" beneath Jiang Li Tianwang's feet now began to burn, transforming into raging golden flames that surged skyward and cloaked themselves over the "Demon-Trap Divine Blade."

"Strike!"

Accompanying Jiang Li Tianwang's earth-shaking roar, the divine blade cleaved straight down toward the endless dark firmament.

Boom!

Divine light surged forth, seeming to have sliced through countless layers of darkness.

At the far end of the darkness, a faint glimmer seemed to emerge.

The numerous Heavenly Kings rejoiced—had they finally shattered the shackles within Sect Master An's palm?

But the next instant, their joy abruptly froze.

At the far end of the darkness, within that faint glimmer, fingers beyond description by words closed together, directly seizing the "Demon-Trap Divine Blade" in their grip. The palm suddenly clenched, and a vast, thunderous boom reverberated.

Bang!

The Demon-Trap Divine Blade let out a wail; the strands of rank-power upon it began to shatter one after another, and finally, unable to bear the strain, the divine blade instantly transformed into countless fragments of flowing light and exploded apart.

At this moment, the numerous Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings all spurted blood and retreated, with one dazzling fissure after another appearing across their bodies. Even as rank-power surged, none of those fissures could be healed.

Jiang Li Tianwang suffered the most grievous wound; the light-scar at his brow split open directly, nearly cleaving his entire being in two.

And the emerald divine fruit within the light-scar also cracked open with fissure after fissure, its divine light dimming rapidly.

Fresh blood trickled from the corner of Jiang Li Tianwang's mouth, his gaze was grief-stricken, and within his hoarse voice lay an unconcealable terror.

"This kind of power, it is..."

"The Supreme Tenth Grade!"

Only the supreme, unrivaled power of the Tenth Grade in this world could so easily crush the combined strike of their Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings.

Terror filled the eyes of the numerous Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings—had the power of the Tenth Grade finally descended upon the world?

How could this possibly be blocked?!

Amid the terror of the numerous Heavenly Kings, that unimaginable palm had already slammed down viciously, colliding with the "Ancient God Ruins Demon-Trapping Array" that shrouded the ten great Outer Shenzhou.

The vast, mighty thunderous shockwave spread to every corner of Outer Shenzhou.

At this moment, who knew how many majestic mountain ranges collapsed, how many seas ran dry, how many abysses were smoothed over...

The calamity of destruction swept across the world, burying countless living beings.

Between heaven and earth, the air was filled with cries of despair.

The divine light of the firmament completely dispersed.

The numerous Outer Shenzhou Heavenly Kings stared at this scene in horror, and despair involuntarily rose within their hearts. This barrier they had regarded as the strongest shield guarding Outer Shenzhou had actually been broken through so easily.

Clearly, even the fierce assaults from the Dark World had been blocked by this formation before.

Yet before the "Dark Sect Master," it was fragile as thin paper.

Could it be that this Outer Shenzhou world would ultimately perish at the hands of this generation's Li Li Tianwang?

"Clearly I am saving this world, putting an end to the chaos that has stretched across endless ages, yet you still insist on obstructing me with all your might. With such resolve, how can you ever reach the new world?"

The Dark Sect Master's gentle voice rang out across the world, carrying a hint of displeasure.

Her figure appeared above Outer Shenzhou.

Then she extended her palm once more toward the spot where Li Luo was.

As her palm stretched out, the entire heaven and earth in the region where Li Luo stood were forcibly torn apart. The palm descended like a cage, enveloping along with it the very Outer Shenzhou beneath.

Li Luo's eyes turned crimson.

The Ten Thousand Phases Wheel roared into being behind him, and then the phase attributes began to reverse.

No matter how terrifying this Dark Sect Master was, expecting him to sit and wait for death was absolutely impossible.

At worst, it was only death!

"Ants shaking a tree."

But faced with Li Luo's desperate struggle, the Dark Sect Master merely offered a casual remark, then her giant hand clenched shut, about to crush Li Luo outright and take the Ten Thousand Phases Seed.

Seeing this, the many Outer Shenzhou Li Li Tianwang all had crimson eyes, their sockets seeming about to split.

An aura of despair and tragic grandeur filled heaven and earth.

Boom!

However, just as Li Luo was about to urge his divine wheel and activate self-destruct mode, suddenly within this frozen heaven and earth, a vast and mighty radiance surged forth. Within the radiance, Buddhist chants echoed, purifying all impurity from the world.

Li Luo's eyes were also stung to pain by that unprecedented holy radiance, but he still strained to look ahead, only to see a familiar graceful figure standing there.

She held the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella in her hand, with twelve wings of radiance sprouting from her back, as if a god of light had descended upon the world.

That was Jiang Jiang Qinge.

And what shook Li Luo's heart was that, at this moment, a supreme power that made all ranks of being seem dim was flowing gently within Jiang Jiang Qinge.

That was... a Pseudo Ten-Grade Light Phase!

At the moment Li Luo faced a true life-and-death crisis, Jiang Jiang Qinge had fully awakened.

Grand, sacred radiance surged forth, and the palm-cage from the Dark Sect Master was actually being pried open bit by bit by this holy light.

The many Outer Shenzhou Li Li Tianwang, who had already been in despair, all showed eyes filled with surprised light at this moment.

"Oh? A Pseudo Ten-Grade Light Phase, then..."

The Dark Sect Master also seemed somewhat surprised, then spoke to herself.

"So this is the contingency she left behind?"
