The words of Emperor Xuanyuan were not particularly passionate or rousing.
He merely stated his conviction, the reason he had always held onto.
Yet, it moved the many Cultivators on the Boundary Sea's side.
What was righteousness?
This was righteousness!
Emperor Xuanyuan was unwilling to leave.
He only wanted to protect his clan and his roots from being destroyed by the Black Calamity.
"Heh... pointless reasoning."
The Lord of the Calamity Source naturally could not understand such attachment, merely thinking Emperor Xuanyuan was being stubborn and foolish.
The moment a powerhouse had attachments, they gained a weakness and were no longer truly strong.
Just like Emperor Xuanyuan right now.
Because he had attachments, the Lord of the Calamity Source had seized upon his weakness.
Rumble!
The world-destroying millstone rotated, continuing to grind down.
Emperor Xuanyuan's vast imperial body continued to disintegrate, his skin cracking open as blood covered his entire body.
Even the mythical Laws within him were shattering, and he was on the verge of failing to withstand that terrifying, world-crushing might.
"Father!"
Xuanyuan Qingxiao's eyes were bloodshot. She unleashed her full power, summoning vast Laws and Divine Abilities to blast against the world-destroying millstone!
But dark runes emerged from the world-destroying millstone, sealing the space.
They imprisoned Emperor Xuanyuan within, while also preventing outsiders from breaking through.
Jun Xiaoyao and the others also made their moves, striking the barrier formed by the dark runes.
Jun Xiaoyao's eyes were cold and sharp.
Looking at Emperor Xuanyuan, he felt as if he were seeing the former Great Emperor Beidou and Great Emperor Wuzhong.
Or like seeing his own father, the White-Clothed God King Jun Wuhui, who always left him with an unbending back.
They all possessed absolute sincerity.
Perhaps this world was a slightly better place precisely because such people existed.
Jun Xiaoyao asked himself, and knew he could not be so selfless.
But he sincerely admired such heroes!
Jun Xiaoyao, Ye Junlin, Xuanyuan Qingxiao, and the Immortal Spirit Emperor all attacked. Laws pierced heaven and earth, and Divine Abilities shook the universe.
But it was useless.
If the Lord of the Calamity Source were so easily shaken,
then he would not have been able to become the source of the black calamity and the ultimate terror of the entire Boundary Sea.
"Your desperate struggles actually add a bit of amusement to my boredom."
The Lord of the Calamity Source seemed to be enjoying a drama of his own making.
Xuanyuan Qingxiao, such a supreme, powerful woman, now had bloodshot eyes glistening with tears.
At their level, their state of mind was usually as calm as still water, and they rarely showed emotion.
But now, Xuanyuan Qingxiao could not hold it back.
No matter how strong she was, she was still his daughter. At this moment, she could not remain calm.
And it wasn't just Xuanyuan Qingxiao; on the Boundary Sea's side, countless powerhouses and Cultivators were also anxious for Emperor Xuanyuan.
"What should we do? How can we save the Great Emperor?!"
"The Human Emperor should not meet his end like this!"
Some Boundary Sea Cultivators roared, unleashing their Divine Abilities to blast the world-destroying millstone.
A dense multitude of Divine Abilities converged into a torrent of magical power, falling upon the world-destroying millstone.
But...
It was too weak, too powerless.
And it could not break through that dark imprisonment.
This was an absolute, world-crushing destructive power that no one could withstand!
Seeing this, Jun Xiaoyao's face was extremely cold.
He could understand Xuanyuan Qingxiao's feelings.
Because previously, during the Dark Turmoil, his father Jun Wuhui had done the exact same thing, standing before him and willing to sacrifice his life to resist the Lord of the Apocalypse.
Jun Xiaoyao turned his gaze to Ye Junlin.
At the same time, Ye Junlin also looked at Jun Xiaoyao.
They were originally one body, and at this moment, they felt a mutual resonance.
However, just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to take action,
suddenly, the entire No Man's Land fell silent.
Even the entire Boundary Sea fell silent.
Everyone could feel that unique aura and pressure.
That boundlessly vast aura and pressure did not come from the Lord of the Calamity Source, but from another source entirely!
"That is..."
Some Cultivators seemed to sense something. They looked back, and their expressions instantly froze!
What did they see?
A boundlessly vast golden curtain, blotting out the sky and covering the sun, was spreading over from the other side of the Boundary Sea!
That golden curtain seemed to encompass all things in the world, including the sun, moon, and stars.
Countless silhouettes of immortals and gods appeared upon the golden curtain.
It was as if the three thousand immortal ranks and the gods of the heavens were all listed within it.
At this moment, in No Man's Land, the armies of both worlds held their breath.
What was that?
The question arose in everyone's mind.
However, on the side of the Boundary Sea's army,
the Cultivators of one particular force suddenly widened their eyes, gasped, and showed expressions of utter disbelief.
This force was none other than the Sanqing Daoist Sect!
And the leader of the Sanqing Daoist Sect, Daoxuanzi, showed an even more shocked expression on his face.
For someone of his status and position to show such an expression, one could well imagine the significance.
"This is... the Luo Tian Grand Offering!"
Daoxuanzi's eyes trembled.
The Luo Tian Grand Offering!
This was the strongest technique of the Dao Sect, one that even he could not perform!
There were even rumors that this move was an immortal-grade Divine Ability!
Otherwise, how could it be so powerful?
And within the Dao Sect of the Boundary Sea, there was only one person who could perform the Luo Tian Grand Offering!
Within the camp of the Sanqing Daoist Sect, an elegant and peerless female Daoist Cultivator also looked toward that golden canopy that enveloped the heavens, her jade-like eyes filled with wonder.
She was none other than the Head Senior Sister of the Dao Sect, who had previously crossed paths with Jun Xiaoyao.
At this moment, the Head Senior Sister of the Dao Sect's expression was also frozen in shock. Her jade lips murmured to herself, her mind somewhat dazed.
"It's... Lord Dao Emperor!"
Boom!
The Luo Tian Grand Offering, the supreme and ultimate technique of the Dao Sect, could be called an immortal's strike!
The golden canopy swept over from the other side of the Boundary Sea, engraved with three thousand immortals and gods, as if performing some grand sacrifice of the worlds.
This was the absolute essence of the Dao Sect.
With just one move, it enveloped heaven, earth, and the universe, traversing the Vast Expanse.
The golden canopy rushed straight toward No Man's Land, enveloping its heaven and earth.
A boundless power trembled forth, releasing billions of golden divine rays!
Upon that canopy, it was as if countless immortals and gods had come to life, trembling in unison and bringing down heavenly wrath!
Boom!
With just one strike, in No Man's Land, on the side of the Black Calamity Tribes, countless Black Calamity creatures had their bodies shattered to pieces.
Even some Great Emperor-level figures were subjected to this suppressing force; they bled from their seven facial orifices, their heads exploded, and their Primordial Spirits disintegrated.
Ordinary Great Emperors simply could not withstand this strike and were instantly killed!
Even powerhouses with extremely profound cultivation within the Emperor Realm were instantly severely wounded.
Even Near-God Level existences were shaken back ten thousand miles, their chests churning as they spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
One strike!
It was just a single strike.
It directly shook ten billion Black Calamity creatures to death!
Blood splattered, filling the sky!
More than a dozen ordinary Emperor Realm existences were directly shaken to death!
Even those with slightly stronger cultivation were severely wounded, their combat strength greatly reduced!
Even Near-God Level existences were injured, blood seeping from the corners of their mouths!
Existences like Emperor Sansheng, the Heaven-Devouring Evil Demon King, and the Mother Empress of the Devouring Clan all showed looks of surprise.
Such capability could not help but shock them.
Even the Lord of the Calamity Source cast his gaze over, letting out a soft grunt of surprise, and then noticed something.
The Boundary Sea's side was even more bewildered. Many who did not understand the mystery behind it were completely clueless, having no idea what was going on.
Right at this moment,
a soft whisper sounded, yet it carried the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, causing the heavens to tremble.
"This Jun has come uninvited to present a small gift. I wonder if you, the Lord of the Calamity Source, are satisfied?"
The voice was extremely calm, as if exchanging pleasantries upon meeting an old friend.
The Lord of the Calamity Source said eerily,
"Have you finally decided to make your move?"
"Dao Emperor Jun Cangsheng!"
