"I possess a thunder pool that can devour the thunder seas of the heavens."
A thunder pool manifested in the void, immediately swallowing all the destructive demonic lightning in the air. The power radiating from the thunder pool was even more violent—combined with the Ocean-Suppressing Pearl, they blasted the Destruction Beast head-on. In an instant, the beast was blown apart, reduced to countless bloody fragments that dissipated on the spot.
ROAR!!
Almost the moment the destruction beast perished, more Dao marks appeared rapidly—not just Dao marks, but fragments of time and space. These fragments, disturbed by the battle, began to tremble—suddenly, countless demons awoke from these shards of space and began surging out in a frenzy.
Among them, the most terrifying were clearly the Insectoids—not only vast in number but possessing extremely powerful combat abilities.
Densely packed swarms stirred to life. As soon as they awoke, they bared their fangs and charged.
These Insectoids were one of the main military forces of the Eternal Night world in external warfare—both its backbone and its cannon fodder. But "cannon fodder" didn't mean weak. In large enough numbers, they represented absolute force. This wave was far more terrifying than usual.
"Blade Beetles, Wyvern Worms, Jackal Beetles, Bloodthirsty Spiders, Bullet Ants, Diamond Ants, Bloodthread Worms..."
The Book of Heaven's Will in Yi Tianxing's mind instantly transmitted information on these creatures. Every type was a frontline species, and each boasted fierce and savage combat strength.
"They came from the fragmented space-time... are these creatures from the previous era, sealed away, only to be awakened now? A last blockade before reaching Eternal Night?"
Yi Tianxing's breath drew long and deep. He realized immediately—these weren't illusory Dao marks.They were real flesh-and-blood creatures.
Which meant… this would be far harder to deal with.
The swarm surged like a tsunami, terrifying in both size and momentum.
"Three thousand strands of mortal dust, myriad laws born of chaos!"
Yi Tianxing tapped his jade belt, triggering the gemstones to shine. Instantly, the hair behind his head began to grow wildly, writhing like spirit serpents.
Each strand shimmered with divine radiance and lashed outward, seemingly conscious, sweeping in every direction.
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
One after another, the razor-sharp strands pierced through Insectoid bodies, then twisted violently—shredding them into piles of bloody pulp.
These were the Red Dust Strands, born of his Red Dust Life Aperture.
The Red Dust Aperture drew upon the will and emotions of all sentient beings, fusing the seven emotions and six desires through the Furnace of the Red Realm, refining divine techniques into every strand of hair. Each strand was a deadly divine weapon, capable of cleaving heavens and earth.
Over the years, Yi Tianxing had never ceased refining them. As ruler of the Great Yi Dynasty, he had abundant mortal faith and karmic power to cultivate them.
Now, each Red Dust Strand was as lethal as a divine sword, filled with destructive spells.Though they hadn't yet formed a full Red Dust Domain, they already possessed formidable killing potential.
If one looked closely, they'd see a faint crimson mist around each strand—within them flickered the myriad emotions of the Red world, joy, sorrow, anger, and longing—each one engraved with profound Dao Rhyme.
With Red Dust Strands sweeping through, the area became a massive meat grinder.
Countless Insectoids were torn apart, their flesh and blood vanishing instantly—absorbed completely.
Next, a four-colored pouch appeared in midair.
From within it, strange winds began to blow.
A gentle breeze swept through the battlefield—wherever it passed, Insectoids fell into deep sleep, as if under a magic spell.This was the Spring Wind—"Spring sleep knows no dawn." A breeze that lulled all into silence and unconsciousness.
Then came a blazing wind, and Insectoid bodies burst into flames, howling as they were incinerated.This was the Summer Wind, scorching and dry, igniting blood and burning away all moisture.
Next came a melancholy autumn breeze, stealing away vitality and life force, sapping power until creatures withered and died.The Autumn Wind, embodiment of decline and death.
Finally, a biting winter gale—everything it touched turned to ice sculptures.The Winter Wind, freezing all in its path.
This was the Four Seasons Wind Pouch, a divine artifact.
Wind is everywhere.Wind has no form, no barrier.And on a battlefield like this—it was the perfect weapon.
Even more fearsome—when the Four Seasonal Winds combined, anything they touched would begin rapidly aging.Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter—the cycle of seasons was the essence of time itself.
"Evil demons of the outer realm… come as many as you like, I'll slay every last one of you."
"No one else dares invade Eternal Night?Then let my Great Yi be the first!"
Yi Tianxing's eyes were emotionless as he marched forward.All corpses left in his path were collected and absorbed.
He forged ahead—a road paved with the dead.
The further he went, the more bizarre and terrifying the scenes became.
A severed demonic finger thrust across time-space and struck the chariot, knocking it back.
A demonic god with eight arms attacked with divine weapons, shaking heaven and earth with every blow.
A demonic battle flag appeared in the void, summoning a tide of sky demons that nearly overwhelmed Yi Tianxing.Without the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower, even a Dao Platform cultivator would've been shredded to pieces.
The path ahead collapsed, forcing him to rebuild it using the Bridge of Yin and Yang.
Every meter forward was earned with blood.
This was no easy journey.
Yi Tianxing had only one answer: Fight! Fight! Fight!!
Relentless battle. Endless slaughter.
His body began to radiate a metallic blood-soaked aura—the mark of countless brutal victories.
Before he realized it, he had arrived at a massive black gate.
On its surface were engraved hideous demonic deities, terrible and twisted.
The gate exuded a bone-chilling aura—just glancing at it made one's soul tremble, blood freeze.
Behind it lay a bottomless terror.
"So this is the final gate to Eternal Night...Break through, and I'll arrive."
A mysterious instinct told him that this gate was the final test.Fail to break it, and you go no further.
A test of strength.Too weak? Then turn back.
"Star-Shattering Hammer… smash it open!"
Yi Tianxing stood silently for a moment, then summoned the Star-Shattering Hammer and hurled it mercilessly at the gate.
This time, he didn't hold back.He infused the hammer with the power of an entire Middle Thousand World.That was the weight behind the blow—a world's might.
BOOOOM!!
With a thunderous crash, the divine light protecting the gate was shattered.
The hammer struck full force, and cracks began to spread rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
CRACK!!
BOOM!!
The gate exploded into fragments, torn to pieces.
And beyond it—light.
It opened!!
No matter how sturdy the gate was,under the crushing force of the Star-Shattering Hammer and a world's power,it simply could not resist.
"So this is the battlefield of Eternal Night…I, Yi Tianxing, have arrived."
He looked ahead, took a deep breath, and spoke firmly.
Then, with a thought, he recalled the Nine-Dragon War Chariot, and unfurled the Divine Celestial Umbrella over his head once more.
With no hesitation, he stepped through.
SWOOSH!!
Upon crossing, the pressure from the Well of Gods and Demons abruptly diminished.
But in the next moment, he felt the difference.
The gravity here was far heavier, and an invisible suppression took hold of him.
He stood on scorched black ground, where a strange force instantly gripped his body, pulling at his blood and essence, trying to drain him into the earth.
A bizarre field enveloped the area—his magic power suddenly went silent, unable to circulate.
It wasn't gone—but it was sealed, unusable.
A typical spell cultivator here would be no different from a mortal.
But Yi Tianxing… was also a body cultivator.
No mana? Then he'd rely on his invincible physique.
"The gravity here is at least three times heavier than the divine battlefield...and spellcasting is completely sealed.This is a true forbidden zone."
The realization struck his mind like lightning.
