At the very same time, outside the world-destroying millstone.
The great battle had already reached a white-hot intensity.
The Ba Clan and the Three Emperors Barrier's Boundary-Suppressing Army were locked in a bloody battle that spanned the heavens.
The Three Kings of the Ba Clan were like three demon gods floating in endless darkness.
They were fighting against the Pass Guardians of the Nine Great Passes of the Three Emperors Barrier.
There were also other experts from the Emperor Clans and forces from the Three Teachings.
In short, strictly speaking, this great battle was merely the prelude to the World-Annihilating Black Calamity.
But even so, the scale and destructive power were terrifying.
Countless living beings had fallen outside the Three Emperors Barrier.
Corpses were piled layer upon layer, and blood had soaked the four great battlefields.
Even those in the Emperor Realm had fallen; the signs of an Emperor's demise appeared, and blood rain splattered across the sky!
And in the midst of this extreme battle.
The world-destroying millstone, which had been advancing steadily, suddenly trembled, and a huge roar came from within.
Immediately, it actually halted in place.
It was like a black steel firmament, frozen between heaven and earth.
Some Ba Clan experts immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Deep in the Universe, the gazes of the Three Kings of the Ba Clan also shifted over.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
But he did not think much of it.
After all, that person was Empress Ba.
Who could possibly do anything to her?
Even if there were some conspiracy on the side of the Boundary Sea.
But in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy was nothing more than a joke.
And just at this moment.
Deep within the world-destroying millstone, a brilliant light suddenly appeared.
It was a brilliant golden Sword Qi that pierced out from within.
Although it did not destroy the entire world-destroying millstone, it tore open a gap.
Then, two figures, a man and a woman, emerged.
The entire battlefield seemed to have come to a standstill.
The world-destroying millstone was a Sharp Weapon of war that had once destroyed countless worlds and Universes in the Boundary Sea.
Even the construction of the Three Emperors Barrier was related to resisting the world-destroying millstone.
Therefore, the world-destroying millstone undoubtedly gripped everyone's attention.
And now, with such a sudden change occurring in the world-destroying millstone, the entire battlefield naturally paused for a brief moment.
Then, countless gazes looked toward the two figures who had appeared from the world-destroying millstone.
"It... it is Young Lord Yun Xiao!"
When they saw that man.
On the side of the Boundary Sea, the expressions of countless Cultivators froze.
After all, the plan for Jun Xiaoyao and the others to sneak into the world-destroying millstone was known to only a very few people.
The vast majority of people were still completely confused.
But what shocked everyone even more was not Jun Xiaoyao.
It was the golden-haired woman beside him, dressed in a long dress with golden armor, holding a golden divine sword.
Holy and unparalleled, towering and supreme!
"Empress!"
When the Three Kings of the Ba Clan, including the rest of the Ba Clan, saw this golden-haired figure, their pupils all shrank suddenly.
Then, they revealed expressions of disbelief.
The person appearing before them was clearly Empress Ba.
But that aura and power were completely different.
And that head of black hair had turned into a dazzling gold.
It was as if she had transformed from a goddess of destruction into an angel of redemption.
"It is a pity that this world-destroying millstone is not so easily destroyed completely," said Xuanyuan Qingxiao.
"It is already enough," Jun Xiaoyao smiled slightly.
"Then, next, I should also repay some of the sins I committed in the past."
Xuanyuan Qingxiao held the human emperor sword.
She had a slender figure and crystalline skin, yet she contained a towering, supreme mythical might.
She struck directly, holding the human emperor sword, and as the blade swept across.
Billions of strands of human emperor sword Qi swept out, shattering the heavens!
In an instant.
Countless Ba Clan living beings and war generals were instantly annihilated silently, turning into dust.
Even Ba Clan Emperors, upon touching this Sword Qi, had their Emperor bodies sliced in two.
The sky was filled with falling Ba Clan corpses.
This scene caused the Three Emperors Barrier to tremble!
"What on earth is going on?"
Everyone was completely bewildered.
The ancestor of the Ba Clan, the world-destroying Empress Ba, was actually attacking her own kin?
Only those who knew the truth, including Ancient Ancestor Yun Mo, understood what was happening.
They could not help but laugh out loud, their gazes toward Jun Xiaoyao filled with unprecedented pride.
"This kid actually succeeded."
"When he first proposed this, I thought it was a fantasy. As expected, Xiaoyao can always bring surprises!"
"He succeeded, Empress has returned..."
One of the Five Tiger Divine Generals, Great Emperor Zhenyue, saw this scene, and his eyes revealed a look of relief.
As expected, they, the Five Tiger Divine Generals, had not misjudged the person!
Jun Xiaoyao was the one key figure who could turn the tide of this World-Annihilating Black Calamity!
"No... this is impossible. The Empress is the ancestor of our Ba Clan, how could she..."
On the side of the Ba Clan, many living beings were bewildered, and then they revealed unprecedented trembling.
Empress Ba defecting and returning to the Boundary Sea—what kind of concept was that?
In such a great battle, it was equivalent to the backbone of their Ba Clan directly defecting to the enemy.
How could they still fight?
Although the Three Kings of the Ba Clan were very strong and held high status, having derived the three lineages of the Ba Clan.
But strictly speaking, they were still incomparable to Empress Ba.
And right now, Empress Ba betraying the Ba Clan was something that all Ba Clan living beings had never expected.
"How is it possible? Empress Ba was personally baptized by the source of the black calamity, how could she possibly return?"
Jiang Chen, Ying Gou, and Hou Qing, the three Ba Clan kings, were also in disbelief.
In their view, this was simply an impossible thing.
Jiang Chen's gaze fell upon Jun Xiaoyao.
"It is that little bastard again!"
In his purple eyes, shocking demonic flames erupted.
In Jiang Chen's view, it must have been Jun Xiaoyao's doing again.
This Boundary Sea Prodigy, who was like an ant in their eyes.
Had actually disrupted their Ba Clan's plans again and again, turning the tide of the battle.
Including the last invasion of the Xuanhuang Multiverse, which was also resolved by Jun Xiaoyao.
"Die!"
Jiang Chen struck with a palm, directly pressing down towards Jun Xiaoyao.
And Jun Xiaoyao naturally sensed Jiang Chen's killing intent.
But he did not make a single move.
Because a beautiful figure, like a flying immortal goddess, had already swept across with her sword.
It was none other than Xuanyuan Qingxiao!
The magnificent Sword Qi split the Void Realm and traversed billions of miles of Vast Expanse.
Even though Xuanyuan Qingxiao had cast off the power of Empress Ba and could no longer receive the augmentation of dark power.
Her own strength was still not to be underestimated.
Puchi!
In the Void Realm, blood dripped, collapsing the space.
That was the blood of Jiang Chen!
"Damn it!"
Jiang Chen and the other Three Kings of the Ba Clan were furious.
"Retreat!" said Ying Gou.
Empress Ba's defection was fatal to the entire battle situation.
A single Empress Ba was enough to pose a fatal threat to their three kings.
Add to that the other Pass Guardians and the experts of the Boundary Sea.
If they, the Three Kings of the Ba Clan, were not careful, they might really end up staying here.
In the current situation, relying solely on their Ba Clan, they were unable to turn things around, so they had no choice but to retreat.
"Kill... kill all the Ba Clan!"
"Take this opportunity to counterattack!"
The side of the Three Emperors Barrier would naturally not let this opportunity for a counterattack slip by.
The dense Boundary-Suppressing Army, with high Battle Intent, charged out to slaughter.
And the Ba Clan fled in defeat, leaving behind countless corpses.
Who could have imagined that this great battle, which opened the prelude to the World-Annihilating Black Calamity in the Boundary Sea.
Would ultimately end in a miserable defeat for the Black Calamity Tribes.
