Chapter 468: The Heartbroken Supreme Venerable Sovereign

The Supreme Venerable Sovereign felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He looked at the empty pill furnace, his expression desolate.

All his efforts had been in vain.

The Nine-Turn Golden Pills he had spent forty-nine days refining were gone, leaving only a faint scent of medicinal herbs in the air.

He sighed, his gaze drifting toward the distant horizon where the chaos had begun.

Everything had changed in an instant.

The celestial laws were in disarray, and the balance of the Three Realms was teetering on the edge.

He closed his eyes, sensing the turbulent flow of Qi within his dantian.

The path of the Dao was no longer clear.

He stood up, his robes fluttering as he prepared to descend from the Tushita Palace.

"It is time," he whispered to the silence.

With a wave of his hand, the palace gates creaked open, revealing the vast, darkening expanse of the heavens.
