Chapter 690: Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor Battles the Primordial Tianpeng!

That Darkness was no longer simple Darkness, but like solid ink, viscous and heavy.

Each step taken seemed to have to pass through an invisible barrier.

That Dead Silence was no longer simple Dead Silence, but like a cold abyss, devouring all sound, all light, all life.

That bizarre aura was everywhere, penetrating every pore, trying to erode his mind and pollute his Dao Foundation.

The degree of terror and the degree of strangeness were, of course, far beyond before.

The strength of the Bane Creatures encountered also rose with the tide!

The ones previously encountered were mostly Bane Creatures of the Immortal Realm and Dao Realm.

But now—

Supreme-level Bane Creatures were everywhere!

Even—

Titan Supreme-level Bane Creatures also appeared frequently!

Here, calling it one of the Inauspicious Clan's strongholds is absolutely fine.

They moved in packs, wandering in the Darkness like night‑patrolling evil spirits.

In their eyes flickered mad Dark Blood, filled with endless killing intent toward all living beings.

But Ye Wuque—

kept slashing his way upward!

All Bane Creatures beneath the Heavenly Dao Supreme that he encountered could not withstand Ye Wuque's casual punch!

One punch exploded, turning dozens of Supreme-level Bane Creatures into dust!

One palm struck down, scattering hundreds of Dao Realm Bane Creatures into ash!

One finger pointed, and over a thousand Immortal Realm Bane Creatures were annihilated in body and spirit!

Ye Wuque pushed forward all the way!

Golden great fist, sweeping everything! Crushing everything! Blasting everything!

Bane Creatures of this level, no matter how bizarre, could not stir any wave before Ye Wuque.

Those Bane Creatures were fearless of death, charging forward one after another.

But they didn't even have a chance to get close to Ye Wuque, being reduced to nothing by that golden fist.

Ye Wuque thus kept slashing, kept moving, kept delving deeper.

…

And then—

Ye Wuque discovered a terrifying fact.

Although he was indeed in the No Return Path area at this moment, it was only one of its billions of sub‑paths!

It was not the deep main road of the Ultimate Darkness eruption source of the No Return Path at all!

From the intelligence Ye Wuque gathered—

Only by continuously delving along this sub‑path, infinitely deep, after enduring endless terror and danger, is there a sliver of a chance to step onto the true No Return main road!

And in the unimaginable depths of that No Return main road—

might lie the true source of the Black Calamity!

Ye Wuque felt a chill in his heart.

One of billions of sub‑paths…

That means there are countless such sub‑paths leading to different directions.

And the true No Return main road is hidden deep within those sub‑paths, requiring endless trials to find.

No wonder countless supreme beings entered the No Return Path and never returned.

This road is too long.

Too deep.

Too terrifying.

But Ye Wuque did not retreat.

He began to delve continuously on this one of billions of sub‑paths.

…

About a year later.

Ye Wuque slew endless great foes and arrived at the end of this sub‑path.

Here, the Void's color turned even stranger, showing a deep dark violet, like the hue of pooled blood.

The air was thick with a strong scent of blood and death, making one feel nauseous.

Ahead, a terrifying rumble echoed.

A terrifying battle wave surged in the Void.

That wave's intensity was enough to turn any being beneath the Heavenly Dao Supreme to ash in an instant!

Ye Wuque's eyes hardened, he quickened his pace and darted toward that direction.

…

Ahead, in the Void.

There, a radiant golden dragon stretched across the heavens!

The dragon, millions of li long, its scales like golden armor, its claws like divine weapons, its might vast, shaking the No Return Path region!

It was clearly the supreme progenitor of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan—

the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor!

At this moment, they are in a massive battle, Dragon Might surging, shaking the No Return Path region!

They are the supreme progenitor of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan!

The cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Supreme!

In the previous Border Wasteland war, they once appeared, establishing great achievements in defending the Nine Heavens Ten Lands!

The creature that fought against them was not simple either.

It turned out to be a Golden-Winged Great Peng!

Wings that cover the sky! Ferocious might that shakes the world!

The Golden-Winged Great Peng, equally colossal, spread its wings, covering half the heavens.

Each golden feather is like a divine sword, emitting a blade that cuts through the Void.

Its eyes, like two golden suns, flicker with cold indifference and madness.

Top‑tier ferocious spirit! Golden-Winged Great Peng!

Earlier, the forces of the Nine Heavens Ten Lands united to launch a siege against the Golden-Winged Great Peng, a traitorous clan, but only one creature escaped—

That was the strongest in the history of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan!

The one who founded the Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art, the supremely defiant Heavenly Peng Ancestor!

The current one, battling the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor, is indeed that very Heavenly Peng Ancestor!

Truly a defiant existence capable of creating the dazzling technique that shook the Zhutian Wanjie — the Heavenly Peng Dragon Capture Art!

Its combat power is simply terrifying!

Remarkably, it can fight the supreme progenitor of the Golden Emperor Dragon Clan, the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor, in a back‑and‑forth battle! No signs of being suppressed!

The two great terrifying powers fought until the sun and moon were darkened, the laws shattered, and Tiandao wailed!

This endless region trembles and wails!

A scene of astonishing destruction!

……

"Boom——!!!"

The Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor thrust out a claw; the Dragon Claw tore the Void, lunging straight at the Heavenly Peng Ancestor!

The Heavenly Peng Ancestor flapped its wings, its form turning into a golden flash, evading instantly!

The Dragon Claw missed, grasping the Void, turning that portion of the Void into nothingness!

"Imperial Dragon Splits Nine Heavens—!"

The Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor roared, unleashing the True Dragon Emperor Technique at full power!

Nine golden great dragons, each tearing the Zhutian Huanyu, surged from nine directions simultaneously toward the Heavenly Peng Ancestor!

The Heavenly Peng Ancestor sneered, suddenly folding its wings; countless golden feathers transformed into 1.8 billion golden divine swords, forming a terrifying sword formation to meet those nine golden great dragons!

"Nine Heavens God‑Slaying Sword—!"

"Rumble—!!!"

The golden great dragon collides with the golden sword formation!

The horror of the collision is like two vast universes exploding simultaneously!

Endless waves of destruction spread wildly in all directions!

Where it passes, the Void shatters, and the laws are erased!

The two mighty beings each summoned a massive segment of the Space‑Time River; the river flows grandly, towering endlessly, its boundless power bestowed upon them!

The Space‑Time River behind the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor shines with golden light, resonating with Dragon Chant, countless phantom ancestors of the Dragon Clan drifting within, empowering him!

The Space‑Time River behind the Heavenly Peng Ancestor is likewise radiant with golden light, but interspersed with a strange gray aura—the power it gained by allying with an ominous queen!

Behind each of them, an endless vast universe churns, its endless civilization aura perpetually renewing, as if two distinct Eternal Time and Space realms clash and vie with each other!
