"What would a dumb dog like you know?"the nine-colored deer snorted at Green Emperor."I, the great Deer God, am a symbol of auspicious peace, meant to bring harmony to all living beings."
Its sharp retort came with a dismissive eye roll.
Though it had never stepped foot in the Eternal Night Battlefield, it knew just how terrifying that world was.And besides, it wasn't going there to fight—it was going to save someone.Everything else was secondary. It would only act if absolutely necessary.
The truth was, the things it had done in the last era were so ruthless, it had no choice but to lay low for now.
"Alright, Green Emperor, return to the Tower World for now,"Yi Tianxing said calmly."With the Celestial Umbrella of Divination shielding me, I'll be able to enter unnoticed."
If the deer wanted to come along, so be it.It might prove useful later on—as long as it didn't cause trouble.
"Heh… Let me remind you," the deer said,"This Well of Gods and Demons won't be easy to cross.My master once built this well as both a path into Eternal Night and as a potential escape route."
"But during the cataclysm at the end of the last era,the two worlds collided, and Eternal Night's power seeped into the well.The path was blocked."
"Without immense strength, there's no way to break through.You might even die in the attempt."
This was the greatest challenge now facing Yi Tianxing:If he wanted to step onto the path to Eternal Night,he had to first force open the sealed route.
The Eternal Night world knew about this passage too.In the last era, they had even tried to invade Eternal Heaven through it.If not for the Heaven Stele suppressing the passage,this war would not have begun with star gates,but with enemies pouring straight out of the well.
Since the last era, Yi Tianxing was the first person to attempt this crossing.
No one knew what dangers now lurked within the Well of Gods and Demons.
According to the deer, only Dao Platform Realm cultivators were even eligible to attempt the passage.Whether they could succeed was still an open question.
That said—if he failed to break through, there might still be a chance to retreat.
"I must break open this divine path," Yi Tianxing declared.
If this was the gateway to Eternal Night,then he would treat it as the first battle of his conquest.
"The war against Eternal Night begins here.Among billions of heaven's chosen, who dares to call themselves the peak—if not me?!"
He raised his head and bellowed.
In a flash, the Chaos War Dragon Robe appeared on his body.Dragons shimmered faintly across its surface, exuding boundless imperial might.The jewels on his jade belt flared with brilliance, illuminating the void.
"Bring the chariot!!"
ROOOAR!!!
With a flash of light, the Ancient Nine-Dragon Chariot manifested.Yi Tianxing stood tall upon it, his presence surging skyward.
Invisible tides of war intent gathered around him,as though a million troops marched at his back, awaiting his command.
The Nine Dragon Sons of the Primordial Ancestor exuded formidable draconic might.As true offspring of the Ancestral Dragon,their bloodlines far surpassed even ordinary true dragons.Now bound to a war chariot turned innate spiritual treasure,they had become innate dragon souls, their forms shifting between substantial and illusory.
"Great Yi, march!!"
Yi Tianxing inhaled deeply and shouted.
Though his entire army was stored in the Primordial Heavenly Emperor Tower,he alone stood forward—yet his will commanded legions.
Nine different dragon roars rang out simultaneously.
The chariot surged forward, charging directly into the Well of Gods and Demons.
The swirling vortex within the well spun endlessly, as deep and dark as a bottomless abyss.
Only by stepping in could one see what lay ahead:
Countless streams of chaotic light danced and twisted—multi-colored beams warping and clashing wildly.Horrifying forces churned within the channel,storming unpredictably in waves.
To anyone lacking sufficient power,these chaotic flows would instantly shred them to pieces.
Even the air itself radiated overwhelming pressure and resistance,as if the passage rejected all outsiders.
It was like stepping into a quagmire of space and time—even True Spirit cultivators would find each step grueling.
But none of this could halt the Nine-Dragon Chariot.
The ancient dragon sons barreled forward,smashing through the storms with brute force.
"Kill!!"
Within the dazzling corridor of colored light,ancient killing intent suddenly flared in the void.
A pitch-black demonic saber fell from the heavens,cleaving straight toward Yi Tianxing.
This blade was indescribably terrifying.
It carried an aura of absolute destruction and obliteration,its presence so real it might as well have been forged from annihilation itself.
Whatever its edge touched would instantly disintegrate.
Even Yi Tianxing, at True Spirit Realm, felt his very soul tremble under its pressure.
"Such terrifying Destruction Laws...This saber contains not just destructive power,but an intent to annihilate all things.This is at least Dao Platform-level."
His eyes narrowed.This wasn't just a casual attack—it carried the full might of a Dao-tier existence.
But Yi Tianxing didn't flinch.
In a flash, a bronze battle spear appeared in his hand.
He thrust it forward without hesitation.
Heavenly Emperor's Creation Hand – Heaven-Piercing Spear!!
This was no ordinary technique.
It combined a supreme combat art with a powerful innate spiritual weapon.The spear carried Yi Tianxing's boundless battle will, piercing through all.
The only thing he withheld was the power boost from the Heavenly Emperor Tower—his trump card.
If even the heavens blocked his path, he would shatter them with this spear.
BOOM!!
The Heaven-Piercing Spear clashed with the demonic saber.
Explosive divine light blasted in every direction.A ghostly demonic roar echoed from the shattered blade.
Though the saber was destroyed, the spear was knocked backward,and Yi Tianxing staggered slightly, his face hardening.
"Strong.That strike was absolutely Dao-tier.This path… truly is no easy road."
Had it been any other True Spirit cultivator,they would've been torn to pieces on the spot.
And this was only the beginning.
That attack was merely a residual imprint within the Well of Gods and Demons—a divine mark left from the past.
Even after so long, it could still unleash such terrifying power.
And who could say whether the path would grow even more dangerous?
But there was no time to think.
From the void ahead, another weapon descended—a demonic spear, trailing the will of utter ruin.
"Destroy! DESTROY!!"
The weapon pulsed with billions of howling demonic voices,each crying out the same primal intent.
This strike was even more dreadful than the last—like a great power attacking across time and space.
But Yi Tianxing was ready.
A colossal war hammer appeared in the air.
Heavenly Emperor's Creation Hand – Star-Shattering Hammer!!
One swing of this hammer, and the world cracked open.
Its might surpassed even that of the Heaven-Piercing Spear.
The Creation Hand technique had a special trait:
First strike = base strength
Second strike = 2x
Third strike = 3x…and so on.
So long as his body could withstand it,the attack power would continue to multiply.
The divine weapon's power remained constant—but the technique would grow ever stronger.
Even without using world energy from his tower's inner realms,this blow was already devastating.
The destruction intent within the demonic spear met the star-shattering will of the hammer—
The void itself quaked from the impact.
ROAR!!
A monstrous presence surged forward.
From the void emerged a towering creature, over three thousand meters tall—a terrifying Yamata no Orochi, a nine-headed serpent.
"Yamata no Orochi… a true Nine-Headed Serpent,a beast of destruction."
Yi Tianxing recognized it instantly.
This wasn't just some mutated creature—it was a pure-blooded beast of annihilation, born from destruction itself.
Its entire purpose was to wipe out all life—to bring death, despair, and extinction.
Each of its nine heads represented one force:
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Poison, and Ice.
Together, these formed a nightmarish arsenal of devastation.
ROAAAAAR!!
The serpent shrieked—its roar like the howl of a thousand dragons.
Its jaws opened wide, unleashing a black flood.
This flood filled the Well of Gods and Demons,rushing toward Yi Tianxing like an apocalyptic tide.
This wasn't just water—it was the water of destruction, imbued with pure entropy.
Anything it touched would collapse and dissolve—every drop was made to erase existence.
Simultaneously, lightning blazed across the sky,transforming the realm into a sea of thunder.
"Just residual divine marks left in this path…and you think you can stop me?"
Yi Tianxing's eyes blazed with determination.
He pressed forward.
One punch!
A blue pearl hovered in the air, shining like the moon over the ocean.
It smashed into the oncoming flood.
Heavenly Emperor's Creation Hand – Ocean-Suppressing Pearl!!
"I have a pearl of wondrous light—capable of suppressing rivers and seas."
The devastation tide was forcibly suppressed.
