Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

Another five hundred years passed, and Jiang Xuan was now a full thousand years old.

The entire universe grew ever more prosperous, geniuses as numerous as carp crossing a river, endlessly emerging, while many of the older generation of Heaven's Prides had reached Quasi-Emperor Peak.

In any past era, they would have had the qualifications to prove the Dao, but in this Golden Age, the Golden Crow Great Emperor's single path suppressed ten thousand paths, and no one could prove the Dao.

Aside from the Golden Crow Great Emperor, Ye Tian Emperor faintly surpassed the Golden Crow Great Emperor by half a head—not a Great Emperor, yet comparable to one; above them, Jiang Tian Emperor could alone slay multiple Supremes, and all living beings speculated that Jiang Tian Emperor had likely half-stepped into the Great Emperor realm.

Fenbao Cliff.

Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged like a wood carving or clay sculpture, motionless as Mount Tai, not moving an inch, as time flowed quietly beside him; thus it continued for a full ten years.

During these ten years, he immersed himself entirely in a profound and mysterious realm, comprehending the inner essence of heaven, earth, Qian, and Kun.

His whole being seemed to have become one with heaven and earth; the mysterious qi emanating from him grew ever more ethereal and mysterious, making him seem increasingly unfathomable and bottomless.

During these ten years, Ye Fan and others visited several times, but they understood that Jiang Xuan's current cultivation state could not be disturbed; each time they stayed briefly before quickly and quietly turning to leave, fearing they might disturb his cultivation.

"The Chaos Body reappears in the mortal world! Someone swears they saw it roaming freely across the vast starfield, unstoppable by anyone!"

Not long after Jiang Xuan emerged from seclusion, he heard this shocking news. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, then he regained his calm, his expression stern, saying nothing.

The Chaos Body's emergence was like a giant stone cast into the calm lake of the universe, stirring up thousand-foot waves, with undercurrents surging from all sides.

Someone secretly thought that perhaps one day they could compete with Ye Fan.

After all, the Chaos Body is the strongest bloodline of the past ages; its reappearance instantly tugged at everyone's heart. If seeking an opponent, this was the strongest choice.

As for matching Jiang Xuan—laughable. Jiang Tian Emperor is invincible under heaven and earth; even the Chaos Body cannot.

"This time emerging from seclusion, pacify the Forbidden Zones!"

A single imperial decree flew out from Fenbao Cliff!

No one expected that not long after Jiang Xuan emerged, he issued an imperial decree to once again campaign against the Life Forbidden Zones, and with great fanfare, not concealing it at all!

The news spread, shocking the whole world; no one thought Jiang Xuan would be so bold and direct, openly summoning experts from across the universe to march out.

"Exactly what I wanted!" The Golden Crow Great Emperor responded first, personally going to Fenbao Cliff, wishing to fight side by side with Jiang Xuan.

Afterwards, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zhang Baineng, and others actively responded, willing to join hands with Jiang Xuan, sword-finger pointing at the last Life Forbidden Zone of Beidou.

It had been several hundred years since the last great war; these experts' strength had greatly increased, they were full of confidence, and their will was firm.

Within Beidou's Taichu Ancient Mine, Shang Cang, and Xian Ling, they were instantly furious. In the past they had always launched the Dark Turmoil, but now they were frequently invaded by outsiders; such a great contrast was hard to accept.

No one expected Jiang Xuan's call to have such astonishing influence. Within just a few days, experts from all sides responded one after another, eagerly joining the war, wishing to change the pattern of the universe.

"Jiang Xuan is now invincible in the universe, controlling Qian and Kun; is he about to tread the path of the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the Emperor Venerable?"

The various races of the universe looked up to the sky and sighed; they deeply believed that this world would surely witness miraculous signs, and afterward there would surely be earth-shaking, history-quaking great events descending.

"Ruling over Tianxia—various Heaven's Prides from all sides come to assist; a most splendid and glorious, dazzling era has arrived, surpassing the Mythical Era!"

In the Human World, everyone was heatedly discussing.

In the Beidou Land, an indescribable oppression permeated; every day terrifying auras circulated and surged within the three great Forbidden Zones. Everyone from the outside speculated that a heaven-and-earth-destroying great war would surely break out, and the Forbidden Zones would join forces.

However, the final course of events deviated far from everyone's expectations. The three great Life Forbidden Zones—Taichu Ancient Mine, Shang Cang, and Xian Ling—actually concealed their whereabouts one by one in silence, quietly withdrew from Beidou, and vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed in this starry sky.

"How is this possible? Such lofty Life Forbidden Zones, fleeing in such a sorry state?!"

The news spread like thunder across the four directions in an instant; the whole world was shocked, and everyone was left speechless by this sudden turn of events, their faces filled with shock and suspicion.

"Alas, this is the true portrayal of living beings. When life and death are at stake, they ultimately still chose to save themselves, unable to unite."

After all, these Life Forbidden Zones, after undergoing the utmost sublimation, also knew their own situation was difficult. In this Golden Age of radiant brilliance, vitality was meager, and the remaining Ancient Supremes were few and far between, utterly unable to support a life-and-death battle with Jiang Tian Emperor; after weighing the options, there was only fleeing.

"Jiang Tian Emperor's move also has deep meaning; he deliberately created such a powerful momentum, using absolute might to intimidate the three great Forbidden Zones, causing them to ultimately take this path of flight."

"Hmph, do they think they can escape for a lifetime like this?" Jiang Xuan's expression was stern, cold light flickering in his eyes; his icy words seemed able to pierce the Void.

On this day.

Heaven and earth changed color, wind and clouds surged.

An ancient Eight Trigrams Furnace hung high; runes flickered on its body, emitting the aura of the primal chaos at the beginning of creation; from its mouth, raging flames roared and flew toward the Taichu Ancient Mine.

Next, a dazzling black light flashed; mysterious golden patterns surrounded it, spinning in the air before emitting a powerful aura that suppressed the heavens, before which all things in the world would be imprisoned and crushed.

The Yin Yang Divine Light emitted mysterious black-and-white radiance; the Yin side was deathly silent and cold like the Jiuyou Abyss, the Yang side blazing and dazzling like the midday sun. The divine light slowly rose, containing the supreme mystery of the cycle of life and death, able to decide Qian and Kun and reverse Yin and Yang.

"It is Jiang Tian Emperor's Emperor Law!"

Countless people were exhilarated!

The Golden Crow Great Emperor, Ye Fan, Dao Yi, and others followed these three divine abilities to kill toward a certain domain.

Finally, the Taichu Forbidden Zone, Shang Cang, and Xian Ling vanished from the world.

All living beings were horrified, feeling it was unreal, yet also feeling it was only natural.

A hundred years passed in a hurry.

A hundred years passed in a hurry; the world was peaceful and harmonious.

And on this day, Jiang Xuan suddenly received a challenge letter, formed from chaotic qi, its Daojie shocking the world.

The Chaos Body would challenge the Heavenly Emperor, launching the strongest collision; this news was like a bolt of thunder, sweeping across the great universe.

The Chaos Body appeared out of nowhere; the whole world was shocked, all under heaven trembled!

He openly declared he would challenge Holy Heaven Emperor Jiang Xuan; this news was like a heavy bomb, instantly detonating the entire universe.

In an instant, the ten directions of the world seemed to have been thrown into boiling hot oil, seething and clamoring without cease.

The battle had not yet officially begun; merely the wind of the challenge had just spread when the various star domains had already fallen into chaos.

Jiang Xuan's fame had long spread far and wide; he had once slain several Ancient Supremes, and after several hundred years, his cultivation level had grown unknown how powerful, ruling the universe with an invincible posture, alone venerating Tianxia. Under such tremendous prestige, without full confidence and firm belief, who would dare easily stand out to confront him and compete for supremacy?

This peak showdown truly whetted everyone's appetite; in this current era, outstanding talents emerge in droves, heroes from all sides shine like brilliant stars across the world — this is the fruit of ten thousand ages of accumulation and sudden release, all essence and fortune condensed into this one life; people's hearts hold burning anticipation, awaiting the collision of these two peerless powerhouses.

"Relying solely on the supreme prestige contained in the three words 'Chaos Body' is enough to possess the qualification to challenge!"

"This is the most powerful, most mysterious bloodline since ancient times; once cultivated to the ultimate realm, one can transcend and become a sage, shatter the Void, question the Dao and become an Emperor."

Outside Fenbao Cliff, Zixia Pavilion stands tall and graceful, clothes fluttering, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

That mountain stone engraved with majestic Emperor Patterns, under the light brush of a letter, instantly crumbled and disintegrated, turning into countless fragments, swept into the howling gale, vanishing without a trace.

Only a single sheet of letter paper remained, planted firmly on that vast empty earth; Chaos Qi like nimble ribbons, thread by thread, wound around it, emitting a mysterious force that made one's heart tremble.

On the paper, a single vigorous, powerful "War" character, as if bearing the weight of a thousand jun, its aura grand and majestic, seeming to want to poke a hole in this Heavenly Vault!

This act had nothing to do with hatred or resentment, yet overflowed with an arrogant, domineering, world-covering spirit, and a belief of controlling heaven and earth, "who else but me," vigorous and heroic.

"Chaos Body manifests in the world, it will surely disturb heaven and earth! The Heavenly Emperor has an enemy!"

Someone speculated, worry revealed in their eyes!

Only because the Chaos Body's prestige reaches far, unparalleled from ancient times to now; only that Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo can contend with it to some degree.

In the Long River of Ages, countless heroes and outstanding figures before it are all as tiny as ants, returning with clipped wings, leaving only regret.

The Chaos Body's power is like a towering, insurmountable divine mountain, pressing heavily on everyone's minds.

This emergence, declaring war so forcefully, instantly plunged the entire universe into violent trembling; people's hearts panicked, everyone secretly speculating in their hearts the final outcome of this peak showdown.

For a while, the whole universe was in an uproar,

All sides' forces surging undercurrents, clamorous voices rising and falling incessantly, everyone looking forward with bated breath to a world-shaking battle sufficient to rewrite the universe's structure.

Jiang Xuan, however, seemed detached from the world, cultivating peacefully within Fenbao Cliff.

His eyes tightly closed, expression tranquil and serene, the aura around him like a deep ocean, calm yet profound, as if fused with this vast heaven and earth; the outside world's clamor and turmoil, to him, were merely dreamlike bubbles and shadows.

The three-month deadline having arrived, the Mythical Battlefield was utterly silent.

This battle, attracting the world's attention, drew the gaze of the entire universe.

All living beings looked forward with bated breath, anticipating the unfolding of this world-shaking showdown.

However, aside from a few powerhouses like Ye Fan, Dao Yi, the Monkey, Jiang Taixu who had the courage to attend in person, the vast majority chose to watch from afar, not daring to set foot in this land of right and wrong about to be ignited by war flames.

In the vast star domains, the Divine Eye of Heaven Penetration, Observation Heaven Divine Array, and various other marvelous magic weapons had long been arrayed; all major powerful clans exhausted their methods, hoping to capture even a shred of this great battle's footage, not missing any brilliant moment that might change the universe's structure.

Suddenly!

From the depths of the universe came a deafening boom.

A dazzling, blazing lightning bolt like a peerless sharp blade tore through the dark universe, rushing straight into the Mythical Battlefield.

Chaos Qi surged violently, pervading the surroundings.

The Chaos Body has revealed itself!

The moment he appeared, the entire universe instantly surged with layer upon layer of ripples, falling into agitation.

His figure hidden in chaos, true visage as if veiled by a layer of mysterious gauze, difficult to find his trace.

Chaos Qi around him surged and tumbled, roaring ceaselessly, pervaded with ancient aura precipitated by time; one ancient mysterious rune after another flickered in and out, flashing with ghostly light, containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, the universe's primordial source.

"The three-month deadline has arrived, quietly awaiting the Heavenly Emperor!"

All living beings puzzled, why does the Heavenly Emperor not come?

While all living beings secretly guessed.

A figure slowly walked over!

White clothes whiter than snow, hem fluttering gently in the wind, as if an Exiled Immortal walking from the depths of time.

Each step he took was steady and elegant, carrying a unique rhythm, yet utterly silent; only the occasional rustle of his hem brushing past roadside flowers and grass lightly broke this tranquility.

Hua Yunfei!

Countless people in an uproar; the comer was not Heavenly Emperor Jiang Xuan, merely Jiang Xuan's follower; although Hua Yunfei is also a top-tier Heaven's Pride, one of the very top handful under Great Emperors, the Chaos Body's prestige is simply too great, no one is optimistic about Hua Yunfei.

"It's you, good too!"

"Clang—"

A bell toll resounded through the universe; the Golden Crow Great Emperor revealed his form, saying: "Fellow Daoists, let us withdraw from this battlefield. The decisive battle approaches."

Ye Fan, the God King, Pang Bo and others all nodded in acknowledgment, then instantly departed; the Mythical Battlefield instantly grew even more quiet and still.

In the vast star rivers of the outside world, everyone harbored shock and fear; this battle is truly extraordinary, even a Great Emperor merely maintains order here, not a participant.

Undoubtedly, this battle will surely be recorded in the annals of the strongest God Wars!

"Is the Chaos Body truly this powerful?"

On the eve of the decisive battle, people recalled those intermittent legends, nearly forgotten in the Mythical Era. In that period, the Chaos Body emerged into the world, coexisting with the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.

This bloodline can be called the strongest and most terrifying, causing even ancient Heavenly Venerables to be at their wits' end.

Legend has it, once the Chaos Body manifests, proving the Dao is only a matter of time's length, success is inevitable. Moreover, no need to worry that someone in the same era has already proven the Dao!

Therefore, there is a saying that in that era, the Heavenly Venerables and Dao Venerables who shared a lifetime with the Chaos Body all felt helpless, having experienced bloody wars.

Only regrettably, in some known era, the Chaos Body failed to grow strong, was slain by a Heavenly Venerable on its upward path, and that Ancient Sage who acted was also bleeding and wounded, severely injured.

Such aptitude, such battle results, how could it not shake heaven and earth?

After the Chaos Body died, its corpse was refined into a peerless grand array, becoming the vessel for the Supreme to engrave Dao Patterns, guarding Beidou, used to pave the Road to Immortality.

All sorts of rumors spread out, highlighting this physique's transcendent-sage, overlooking-all-beings supreme characteristics!

"It's him!" Ye Fan and Pang Bo stood shoulder to shoulder, figures straight as pines, a look of sudden realization flashing in their eyes.

Simultaneously, Hua Yunfei's expression calm as water, unwavering, softly said: "As expected, it's you!"

"Correct, I've come; the Heavenly Emperor didn't appear, is he disdainful to fight me? Good too; Magic Embryo, then let us have a battle!"

Chaos Qi churning unceasingly, that person's tone calm and steady, not a shred of the arrogant domineering aura the outside world imagined, nor a trace of arrogant recklessness.

In a split second, as if the universe's initial singularity exploded, without the slightest warning, the two people's battle erupted with a boom. Chaos Qi spread wildly in all directions, instantly thoroughly submerging the vast boundless entire battlefield.

The place shrouded by Chaos Qi became the universe's core at this moment; endless energy wildly collided, intertwined, exploded within it.

Every collision was like a star exploding, releasing the terrifying power of Destruction of Heaven and Earth, its intensity beyond imagination, as if a peak duel between Great Emperors, causing the Great Golden Crow Emperor watching from the side to involuntarily change countenance.
