Annihilation! Annihilation! Annihilation!
Whether Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse or the boundless supreme expert, the Grand Dao Power they wielded melted away like snow under the scorching sun, vanishing at an inconceivable rate.
At this moment, Li Chunjun was no longer crushing his opponents by fusing the forty-nine great daos into a unified force resembling a great dao light net. Instead, he was allowing the void great dao to infiltrate their defenses through the forty-nine great daos, systematically dismantling the resistance of each Dao Venerable and Supreme Sovereign from within.
"Not good!"
The boundless supreme expert, who had previously been overwhelming Li Chunjun with his unparalleled comprehension of the great dao of the void, immediately sensed the terrifying nature of this Void Power.
It not only countered his attacks by exploiting his understanding of the void great dao, but also possessed the inherent ability to transform other great daos into nothingness.
This singular power to annihilate the great daos was enough to confront him directly.
Progenitor divine being!
This was the true might of a progenitor divine being of the void path!
Moreover, because the void great dao seemed to inherently surpass other great daos in essence, the boundless supreme expert found himself at a disadvantage in their direct clash.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, he dared hold nothing back. He unleashed the full might of the great dao of the void, summoning the Void—the foundation upon which all things rest—to counter the Void that annihilates all things.
"We can't let Boundless fight alone," the Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse declared. "If Li Chunjun masters his great dao of the void as well, our task of defeating him will become exponentially more difficult!"
The Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse immediately grasped the gravity of the situation. "Hold nothing back! Unleash your full power!"
As his Divine Sense surged, his Flowing Light Dao transformed into countless pillars of light that pierced the Star River, converging on Li Chunjun's void domain.
Meanwhile, the other Supreme Sovereigns and Dao Venerables...
...pushed their comprehension of the great daos to its limits, unleashing their most devastating trump cards.
Their ingenious techniques and mastery of the great daos left onlookers in awe. Many even questioned whether they could withstand such relentless assaults themselves.
The answer was a resounding no.
But Li Chunjun was different!
The Dao Venerables and Supreme Sovereigns revealed their hidden strengths, their extreme applications of the great daos catching him off guard. For a moment, he was forced to merge with the void, using the void great dao's properties to completely evade their combined onslaught, including the joint attacks of the two Ultimate Powerhouses.
However, such trump cards and killing moves, when used for the first time, always carried their greatest destructive force.
Once Li Chunjun deciphered the underlying principles of their Dao applications, his comprehension of the great Dao, nearly on par with theirs, made it significantly easier to resist, dissolve, and dismantle the lethal techniques of the Dao Venerables and Supreme Sovereigns.
However, just as Li Chunjun materialized from his void state, preparing to counterattack, a Supreme Sovereign suddenly extended a void hand and pointed.
In the next instant, a Grand Dao Power, as formidable as that of an Ultimate Powerhouse, surged forth with an unyielding, crushing force.
The moment this Grand Dao Power collided with Li Chunjun, he felt as if a surge of potent life force had been injected into him. Even within the void, he felt as if he were being reborn, as if a new life form were being birthed into the world.
"The great dao of life?!"
Li Chunjun immediately recognized the nature of this Grand Dao Power.
He even guessed the identity of the attacker.
Green Willow Supreme Sovereign.
A quasi-supreme powerhouse.
The highest achiever in the great dao of life!
Earlier, when Li Chunjun clashed with the boundless supreme expert, he had simultaneously confronted the latter's great dao of the void and Dream Great Dao.
He believed he had neutralized the Dream Great Dao using the profound mysteries of his great dao of the soul, focusing all his energy on the great dao of the void.
But in reality, as a great dao rooted in the source, it couldn't be so easily defeated by Li Chunjun.
The true purpose of the boundless supreme expert's Dream Great Dao was never to directly hinder Li Chunjun's combat prowess, but rather to distort his perception and judgment, allowing the quasi-supreme powerhouse Green Willow Supreme Sovereign to remain hidden right under his nose.
Void and life—inherently opposed forces—exerted mutual restraint to some extent. Because of this, the boundless supreme expert had always kept Green Willow Supreme Sovereign as a trump card for the Explorers Guild.
Now, in this moment of crisis, that trump card was finally revealed...
Just as Li Chunjun was forced into a void state and reappeared, the quasi-supreme powerhouse struck, forcibly immersing him in the great dao of life at its source. This filled Li Chunjun's entire being with the power of "existence," preventing him from retreating into the "void."
"Kill!"
Seizing the opportunity, the boundless supreme expert unleashed his Heart-Mind, channeling the full might of the great dao of the void. In an instant, the void surrounding Li Chunjun erupted with an unprecedentedly violent Starquake.
Crucially, this Starquake Force—powerful enough to shatter an entire Great World—was compressed through the void ruler into an infinitesimally small space, utterly pulverizing everything within Li Chunjun's vicinity.
Even Li Chunjun himself was reduced to nothingness by the void-shattering power.
This flawlessly coordinated killing move was so breathtakingly executed that Tian Wen Supreme Powerhouse, watching from the sidelines, seemed to hold his breath for a split second.
Brilliant!
The Explorers Guild's meticulous strategy, culminating in a final, decisive strike, earned even this Ultimate Powerhouse's sincere admiration.
Indeed, in matters of life-and-death combat, strategic planning, and tactical deployment, neither he nor Gui Ling could rival the Explorers Guild, who had always stood at the forefront of external exploration and warfare.
Now...
The very fabric of space had been annihilated.
Everything had been shattered!
Li Chunjun, the progenitor divine being...
Surely he was dead now?
It wasn't just Tian Wen's Dao Heart Divine Avatar that remained intently focused on the Void shattered into dust. The Boundless Supreme Expert and Heng Guang Supreme Powerhouse also maintained their vigilance.
In fact, the two Supreme Powerhouses swiftly constructed a void prison and a light prison around the shattered Void, just in case.
This level of caution...
amply demonstrated the profound dread these two Supreme Powerhouses harbored toward Li Chunjun.
"Eliminated?" Supreme Origin Sovereign asked, his form flickering.
"He should be," came the reply.
Green Willow Supreme Sovereign said in a deep voice, "For the past hundred thousand years, I've been responsible for the Explorers Guild's rotation. I've always paid close attention to this progenitor divine being of the void path and thoroughly researched his records. His most terrifying ability is to transform into nothingness and vanish at will. Based on my extensive research and deductions, to kill him, we must first force him into a state of 'existence' and then completely erase him from life, down to the soul level..."
As he spoke, he seemed to realize something and suddenly exclaimed, "No! The soul!"
His words jolted the two Ultimate Powerhouses into sudden awareness.
Immediately, the two Ultimate Powerhouses, along with the Supreme Sovereigns who possessed extraordinary mastery of the great dao of the soul, acted simultaneously.
The great dao of the soul was activated, manifesting as countless invisible blades that converged on the utterly shattered starry sky, seeking to annihilate everything within.
But almost the instant they activated the great dao of the soul, a soul wave emanated from the completely collapsed void.
Simultaneously, Void Power and soul power surged forth, forcibly establishing the foundation of "existence" within the formerly shattered region.
The attacks launched by the two Ultimate Powerhouses and the Supreme Sovereigns who had mastered the great dao of the soul were effortlessly dissolved and neutralized by the soul power emanating from Li Chunjun.
Witnessing this, Tian Wen's heart sank rapidly.
Weak!
Too weak!
"Heng Guang, Boundless, and these Supreme Sovereigns... their comprehension of the Dao of Soul is far too shallow..."
A deep sense of regret flashed through Tian Wen's eyes.
Yet he also knew that Heng Guang, Boundless, and the Supreme Sovereigns' understanding of the Dao of Soul wasn't poor by any means.
It simply wasn't exceptional enough.
If anyone was to blame, it was Li Chunjun's unparalleled mastery of the soul.
His comprehension of the great dao of the soul likely rivaled that of the Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling himself.
Against such a formidable opponent, their soul attacks naturally proved inadequate.
"If Supreme Powerhouse Gui Ling's true body were here, following up Green Willow Supreme Sovereign's initial strike with a fatal blow to the soul, this calamity might have already been completely averted."
Tian Wen cast a profound glance at Li Chunjun, who was reshaping his very concept of "existence" using the great dao of the soul.
With no other options remaining, they could only endure.
They had to hold out until the arrival of the Ultimate Powerhouses—Lawful Decree, Tian Wen, Gui Ling, Shouxu, Pan Wu, and the others—leading their forces.
"Truly, a pinnacle application of the Void and the Dao of Life," Li Chunjun murmured sincerely.
An Ultimate Powerhouse was indeed an Ultimate Powerhouse.
Standing at the source of the great dao, they faced far less competitive pressure, granting them ample time to delve into the profound mysteries of the dao's application.
Some even found that mastering these applications could deepen their comprehension of the great dao itself.
Consequently, the foundational strength possessed by these Ultimate Powerhouses at the source of the great dao far surpassed anything a common Dao Venerable could ever hope to achieve.
"But now... these applications are mine."
Li Chunjun's gaze shifted, locking onto Green Willow Supreme Sovereign. With a wave of his hand, the void around him began to violently contract, its spatial fabric collapsing and oscillating in an utterly unstable manner.
This technique...
"Phantom Annihilation Star River?!"
The boundless supreme expert's pupils constricted as he witnessed Li Chunjun's display.
It was too fast.
Li Chunjun already possessed an exceptionally refined understanding of the Void Dao, second only to his mastery of the great dao of the soul.
In the eyes of this Ultimate Powerhouse, Li Chunjun's mastery of the great dao of the void likely ranked within the top ten.
However, after several clashes with him, Li Chunjun's comprehension of the void great dao had advanced by leaps and bounds, now approaching the top five.
As Li Chunjun entered his Second-Tier form and unleashed his full power, forcing the Ultimate Powerhouse to push his own mastery of the void great dao to its limits, Li Chunjun's comprehension of the void great dao rapidly ascended.
Fifth, fourth, third...
Now, Li Chunjun had even unleashed the Great Phantom Annihilation Star River Immortal Technique—a technique only achievable through absolute mastery of the void great dao.
This level of mastery likely rivaled the Ultimate Powerhouse's own!
Boom!
The boundless supreme expert hastily intercepted the Phantom Annihilation Star River attack, colliding with Li Chunjun's strike and quickly neutralizing both.
But in that moment of distraction, Li Chunjun had already appeared before the Green Willow Supreme Sovereign, simultaneously channeling the great daos of destruction, creation, the soul, and devouring. In an instant, he shattered the Green Willow Supreme Sovereign's defenses.
In the next instant, Li Chunjun dragged the Supreme Sovereign down into the void.
"Not good!"
The boundless supreme expert's Heart-Mind trembled. "Force him out!"
His Void Power immediately swept across the Star River where Li Chunjun had vanished.
The other Supreme Sovereigns also unleashed their full power, each displaying their Mystical Powers. A torrent of Grand Dao Power surged through the void, but despite occasional ripples, they couldn't force Li Chunjun out even an inch.
This sight...
Plunged the boundless supreme expert into an icy abyss.
At that moment, he finally understood why the Tian Wen Supreme Powerhouse had always insisted on waiting for everyone to gather before launching a full-scale attack.
Given the void great dao's formidable strength, if they attacked but failed to kill Li Chunjun, he could simply hide away...
No one could trap him.
No one could find him.
The void great dao's concealment ability...
Was insurmountable!
