1146 Sky Upended, World Ended

Emperor Tianming's control over power had reached a peak level. Not a bit of power was wasted. This gave off a strange, miraculous, and amazing feeling.

After he sent Wang Huanzhen flying, he used a strange step technique and formed an odd arc. He flew toward the World Spirit that had transformed into a small blue dragon.

"If you want the World Spirit, get past me first."

Qitian Crown Prince was very aggressive. He transformed into a horrible demon and slowly lifted the God-Killing Cross Shield. The shield grew larger and larger until it was hundreds of feet tall. Thousands of bolts of lightning surged out, combining with the cross.

Sizzle, sizzle.

The God-Killing Cross Shield pressed down. It fell down on Emperor Tianming who was approaching the World Spirit, exploding with destructive might.

Looking at the shield that was pressing down, even a Pre-Saint would be terrified, feeling that he was insignificant.

Even if Emperor Tianming continued going and caught the World Spirit, he would still be heavily injured by the God-Killing Cross Shield. He wouldn't be able to take the World Spirit away.

He was forced to stop. His long black hair flew up. Pushing up, the huge mountain behind him rose up like bamboo shoots after a rain. They rose thousands of feet to face the God-Killing Cross Shield.

Boom, boom.

The space between Emperor Tianming and Qitian Crown Prince popped and exploded. Thousands of pounds of huge boulders dropped from the sky.

The two were equally powerful. It was difficult to produce a winner in a short time. They stopped each other from approaching the World Spirit.

Roar.

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon yelled. Boundless barren Qi surged out of it. Its body quickly swelled, going into its true form. The miles-long-dragon was like a black mountain range.

"The World Spirit belongs to the dragons. Anyone who competes with me is looking for death."

The huge dragon flew across the sky, lifting a strong gale.

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon flew above the World Spirit with unprecedented speed. It extended a talon and clawed downward, covering the World Spirit.

Xue Wuye stood in the wild wind. Hands behind his back, he stood up straight. His temperament grew sharper as he uttered two words. "Sword Six."

Whoosh!

Seven saint swords flew out of him. The Sword Qi became one with his sword intent. At this moment, Xue Wuye was no different from a horrible Sword Saint. He seemed to be the physical incarnate of the sword.

The seven swords and one man transformed into one streak of light. It crashed against the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon's claw with extreme speed.

Poof.

Even the scales on the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon couldn't stop Sword Six. Its claws were pierced by the sword light. Dragon blood gushed out, dyeing the sky red.

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon lost the best timing to capture the World Spirit. "Ancient Dragon Scale," it roared in anger.

One scale on its stomach was twice as big as the other scales. Rings of black light shone from it as it fell from its body.

The Ancient Dragon Scale had specks of golden light. An ancient aura flooded out of it. It was unknown how many ages it had existed for.

Whoosh!

White light flew out once again. A patch of Sword Qi pierced the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon's forehead. The Ancient Dragon Scale flew out, crashing against the white sword light. Like a spear hitting the shield, it produced a deafening sound.

Boom.

The white sword light changed its direction. The Ancient Dragon Scale did as well. One attacking and one defending, they fought intensely. Dense sword light and soundwaves filled the sky.

Only the shockwaves could kill a Half-Saint.

At the most critical moment, every creature used their full power and all their trump cards. They didn't hold back.

Qiu Yu glanced at Zhang Ruochen. Controlling the Divine Flame Tree, he made the branches stretch toward the World Spirit like vines. The fire from the divine tree wasn't normal. It was the Fire of Destruction and as horrible as the Wuliang Divine Fire.

Zhang Ruochen wanted to compete with Qiu Yu personally, but he resisted the urge. Logic told him that getting the World Spirit was most important now.

"Qing Mo, stop him. I'll get the World Spirit."

With that, Zhang Ruochen used the Great Spatial Move and disappeared from the spot.

Qing Mo spun and transformed into a dark sacred vine. She whipped toward the Divine Flame Tree that Qiu Yu had casted. At the same time, a mass of Wuliang Divine Fire surged forward, crashing against the Fire of Destruction.

The two types of fire that could burn Saints clashed, turning this area into a sea of fire.

While fighting against Xue Wuye, the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon roared, "Beast Kings of the savage beasts, listen. If you don't wish to die, hurry and leave the Blue Dragon Void World. This battle isn't for you."

Qitian Crown Prince and Chi Wansui both issued similar orders. They made the Immortal Vampires and human cultivators leave.

Other than the top figures, all other creatures flew out of the Blue Dragon Void World's atmosphere and into the universe. Since they were already Pre-Saints, they could fly short distances in the dark, cold, and deathly universe.

As for traveling between stars, they still weren't powerful enough.

"Go to the outside world and take up a small star," Huang Yanchen said to Sikong One, Sikong Two, Princess White Li and Sun Dadi. "Be prepared to cooperate with Zhang Ruochen and me at any time."

Huang Yanchen had Qing Mo go with them as well, mostly to look after Princess Moran.

"Second Junior Brother and I should stay to help Senior Uncle with the World Spirit," Sikong One said. "Princess Yanchen, you should leave the Blue Dragon Void World."

He doubted Huang Yanchen's abilities. He thought that she might not be able to help Zhang Ruochen and might even bring him down.

"We're going!" Qing Mo's hands transformed into dark vines. She swept up Sikong One, Sikong Two, Princess White Li, Sun Dadi, and Princess Moran, and flew out of the world.

Blackie stayed. It looked at Huang Yanchen suspiciously and said, "You should leave too. With my help, Zhang Ruochen will definitely be able to get the World Spirit."

Huang Yanchen ignored Blackie. In a gust of cold wind, she flew toward the World Spirit. Zhang Ruochen stepped out from somewhere in the void and appeared very close to the World Spirit.

Faced with the World Spirit's strong power, Zhang Ruochen didn't show any fear. He took a big step forward.

"Zhang Ruochen!" a feminine cry sounded above his head.

Han Qiu stood on the bone dragon's head. She was as cold and beautiful as a snow lotus. Behind her, the dead soul army was organized in a formation. Death Qi above the formation formed the apparition of a huge black city.

She'd used some strange power to consolidate the powers of the dead souls.

Zhang Ruochen looked at her. "Can we not throw a tantrum? I must take the World Spirit. It is very important to me. If you get in my way, we will completely be against each other from now on."

"Do you think I'm afraid?" Han Qiu laughed coldly.

Just then, Chi Wansui, Qi Feiyu, Ouyang Huan, the Rosefinch Fairy, the Kun Prince, and the strong cultivators of the Immortal Vampires hurried over to the World Spirit.

Han Qiu's cold eyes that stared at Zhang Ruochen showed some hesitation. Biting her lip, she said, "This time, treat it as me repaying you."

With that, Han Qiu steered the bone dragon toward the approaching group. She pointed forward. The dead soul army behind her attacked. They lifted up the huge black city and threw it down.

An attack from thousands of Half-Saint dead souls together was obviously terrifying. Even with Chi Wansui and the Rosefinch Fairy's cultivations, they were still restricted. They couldn't charge forward for now.

"So what if you can summon dead souls? This isn't anything. It can stop them but not me."

Stepping on a fiery cloud, Qiu Yu raised his arms. Blinding firelight was released from his palms. One could vaguely see a fist-sized phoenix being born out of thin air.

"Fire of the Phoenix."

With a phoenix's chirp, the entire sky and earth shook violently. Qiu Yu released the phoenix as if it was a dove.

The fire phoenix collided with the black city. A shattering sound rang out. In a breath's time, the city was burned to black wisps of smoke. The dead soul army suffered great losses too. Both Wuchangs and Corpse Kings were turned to smoke if they touched the Fire of the Phoenix.

Zhang Ruochen lifted the Universe Spiritual Map with his hands. Activating the power of the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree, he tried for the World Spirit with all his might. However, the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree's power was mostly inside the scroll world. Only a bit could be guided outside. It couldn't take over the Blue Dragon Void World's World Spirit.

Roar!

The World Spirit let out many earth-shaking roars. It fought against the Universe Spiritual Map, trying to escape. This was a battle between two World Spirits. It was very dangerous. If Zhang Ruochen wasn't careful, the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree might be taken over by the Blue Dragon Void World's World Heir instead.

Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was collecting the World Spirit, Emperor Tianming and Qitian Crown Prince separated immediately. They stopped fighting and hurried over.

"Zhang Ruochen, your death date is here!" Qitian Crown Prince yelled.

Four beams of light shot out of Emperor Tianming's eyes. They traveled past hundreds of miles to hit Zhang Ruochen.

While collecting the World Spirit, Zhang Ruochen controlled the Abyss Ancient Sword to fend off Emperor Tianming's attack.

"Zhang Ruochen, I'll take over the Universe Spiritual Map!" Blackie said. "You go stop them. If you can fend them off for a while, I'll be able to take the World Spirit."

Blackie took the Universe Spiritual Map from Zhang Ruochen's hands and continued to collect the World Spirit.

"You want to stop me from taking the World Spirit? It's not that easy! First let me destroy the world and then I'll fight you to the end."

After Blackie took the Universe Spiritual Map, Zhang Ruochen was finally free. He had a powerful temperament. He grabbed with both hands and split apart, tearing the space before him. He created a huge crack that connected the sky with the earth.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the Blue Dragon Void World began caving in even faster. Various void spatial cracks formed one after another. They swallowed the earth. At the same time, some structures that couldn't be swallowed formed irregular stars and the beginnings of lower-level Void Worlds.

The entire Blue Dragon Void World turned to turbid chaos. Danger lurked everywhere.

At that time, even if a powerful Saint broke in, he might die in the empty void.
