Chapter 497: Three Thousand Chaotic Demon Gods, Celestial Emperor, Jade Void Heaven-Opening Axe (Grand Finale)

[“Alas.”]

[The Daoist Ancestor let out a sigh.]

[The Cyan Heaven personally descended upon Returning Void Heaven, knowing he had entered the stage of “Celestial Derivation of 49” with no escape.]

[Even the “River of Destiny” cultivated by the Jade Emperor through observing the “Celestial Dao” could affect the Great Dao Divine.]

[Let alone the Celestial Dao.]

[As the Daoist Ancestor gave up his struggle, the Buddha, Divine King, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Zombie Saint, and Four Fierce Beasts of Mountains and Seas looked solemnly at the Jet Black Obelisk, sensing an indescribable aura, a feeling of discord.]

[A Great Dao not belonging to Returning Void Heaven—precisely the Chaos Demon God!]

[“The source of the Chaos Demon God?!”]

[The Celestial Dao is singular; All Heavens and Myriads of Realms and Returning Void Heaven were originally one entity.]

[The Buddha, Divine King, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Zombie Saint, and Four Fierce Beasts, if they were to go to “All Heavens and Myriads of Realms,” would be deemed Chaos Demon Gods. However, they are unwilling to leave Returning Void Heaven to become “Chaos Demon Gods.”]

[The Celestial Dao here is dead, unable to force these “Celestial Mandates,” while Ning Xunqiu continuously sends people to weaken Returning Void Heaven.]

[The difference in power between them is worlds apart after countless ages.]

[The Buddha, Divine King, Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Zombie Saint, and Four Fierce Beasts simultaneously felt the “Celestial Dao’s Determination” upon them.]

[All the demon gods of Returning Void Heaven who attained the “Eternal Life Dao Fruit” felt doom looming overhead.]

[Celestial Dao’s Determination—they will forever remain in the past!]

[Ning Xunqiu doesn’t seek to reopen the heavens.]

[“We haven’t lost! Even against the Celestial Dao, I will win half of heaven!”]

[The Chaotic Ancient Celestial King looked up, his blood-red eyes pierced the darkened Celestial Vault like a bloody moon, his mouth grinned with fierce fangs exposed.]

[“War against heaven!!” His shout shattered the clouds, plunging the world into sudden silence, then——countless demons roared!]

[The Zombie Saint slowly stood up from the pile of corpses, with decayed bronze battle armor entwined by ghostly green corpse flames, skeletal fingers made a slight cut, splitting the void as countless sealed ancient fiends howled out.]

[The Chaotic Ancient Celestial King, Zombie Saint, Four Fierce Beasts emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, untamed and unwilling to accept “Celestial Dao’s Determination,” gathering all demon gods.]

[Ning Xunqiu appeared indifferent, letting them gather all Eternal Life demon gods from Returning Void Heaven.]

[Mist shook, the ground quaked, the deep seas boiled, mountains collapsed!]

[One by one, ancient sleeping demon gods opened their eyes, roaring, howling, their demon aura surging like angry sea waves, converging into a column of light reaching the sky, tearing through the heavens!]

[Returning Void Heaven is dead, and Cyan Heaven is alive, and very unfriendly to these inherently divine beings.]

[Boom!!!]

[The last remaining Will of Returning Void Heaven suddenly trembled, as a ray of chaotic celestial light descended, enveloping a single ancient demon god. In an instant, its demonic body transformed by every inch, scales converting into divine patterns of celestial destiny, aura climbing steadily, immediately attains the status of “Celestial Destiny God”!]

[In radiance across the sky, innumerable Immortal Divine Dharma Aspects descended, some sitting upon lotus platforms, others stepping on auspicious clouds. There are ten who attained forbidden status, coming from the ends of time, surrounded by the aura of obliterating Ten Thousand Laws.]

[They gazed down, eyes like thousands of years of ice, rendering Ning Xunqiu’s figure nearly insignificant like dust.]

[“So this is the avatar of the Celestial Dao? No wonder the First Emperor, a mere mortal, caused such disturbance within the Void Sea.”]

[“Reveal the blood path, what of it being the Celestial Dao? Today, we shall pave the way with its downfall!”]

[“Hahaha! Cultivation is inherently defying the heavens! Future generations will remember this day, when everyone can become saints!!”]

[“Disturb cause and effect, sever celestial destiny…”]

[The demon gods bathed in the power of Returning Void Heaven, their aura surged, battle intent boiling!]

[No matter how strong the New Celestial Dao is, within Returning Void Heaven its strength is merely comparable to a single Chaos Demon God, many Chaos Demon Gods have been suppressed by Returning Void Heaven, today will be no exception.]

[They are confident!]

[“Ignorance.” The Daoist Ancestor shook his head.]

[This Celestial Dao is not the planetary consciousness, or embodiment of a clan’s fate, or incarnation of laws, but the truly “All-Knowing and All-Powerful” Celestial Dao.]

[“Not only unwilling to surrender, but still daring to act?”]

[Ning Xunqiu’s eyes slightly narrowed.]

[——his Celestial Dao, how lacking in dignity it was.]

[To him, the Returning Void Heaven Saints’ rebellion was merely a farce. The only figure of concern was that entity who once appeared like a fleeting glimpse within Celestial Derivation of 49, then transcended…]

[The Celestial Emperor from “Classic of Mountains and Seas”! ]

[Ning Xunqiu waved his sleeve.]

[The Immortal Slaying Sword Map trembled, boundless aura of slaughter soared, an unrivaled sword light emerged from the void.]

[——Sword of Chaos!]

[The sword’s body entwined with Primordial Unopened Qi, wherever it passes, all paths return to ruins, reenacting earth, water, fire, and wind!]

[——Immortal Slaying Sword!]

[Scarlet sword light ripped through the universe, killing intent solidified into tangible threads, wrapping the heavens. Even before the sword’s blade arrived, several dozen demon gods’ pupils shrank drastically, their Divine Spirits fragmented like Liuli, their piercing cries yet to be emitted before they vanished into the unmanifest!]

[——Sword of Despair!]

[The pitch-black sword body flowed with Eternal Night; wherever it passed, time and space froze. A single Eternal Life demon god just lifted its claws, yet its body froze into an ash-gray sculpture, consciousness plummeting into a bottomless abyss——returning to eternal extinction!]

[——Sword of Freedom!]

[Silver-white sword light like a comet from beyond the sky, severing the River of Destiny. The Four Fierce Beasts from Mountains and Seas roared to activate their innate divine techniques, only to see the sword light flash by, its fate grid spanning ages split as easily as thin paper.]

[One sword stroke, all Ten Thousand Laws vanish!]

[The four swords weaved into a net, sword light covered the battlefield like the Heaven and Earth Net, divided all of Returning Void Heaven into a prison.]

[Ning Xunqiu’s mental realm entered the “Cyan Heaven” state, standing at the center of the sword map, his gaze indifferent, viewing them as ants.]

[“Since obstinate and unrepentant…”]

[“Then——I invite each of you to enter the Immortal Slaying Sword Map.”]

[The void splintered, one after another Chaos Demon Gods emerged from his back.]

[Dong——!]

[A bell resounded through all heavens, as if it radiated from the beginning of the cosmos, emerging from the Great Sun, a pitch-black Divine Bird flapped its wings and soared out.]
