Under the relentless impact of the Hongmeng Heavenly Emperor Tower, the Throne of Corruption grew increasingly dim. With every collision, more souls shattered, destabilizing the throne's internal workings. Finally, it could no longer withstand the pressure.
With a thunderous crack, the throne completely collapsed, exploding into a flurry of fallen feathers that scattered in all directions, vanishing across the battlefield.
At that very moment, Heaven's Sin—still seated upon the throne—was struck by the tower's might and shattered into pieces, his body torn apart and annihilated, inch by inch, in a storm of pure power.
All his divine arts, all his talents—meaningless in the face of absolute force.
This… was the true meaning of "One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Arts."
Not even a monstrous prodigy like Heaven's Sin, whose strength rivaled Dao Platform Realm cultivators, could resist.
The overwhelming force that surged from the Hongmeng Tower was not merely destructive—it was annihilation incarnate, devouring all, leaving no room for escape or resistance.
Even flesh and soul, stealth and teleportation, were powerless before it.
"Yi Tianxing... I'll be waiting for you in Eternal Night. Death is nothing. I will be reborn... and you will die."
Heaven's Sin's voice was calm in his final moments.
He no longer panicked. Death had come—but he welcomed it with steady eyes locked on Yi Tianxing.
In Eternal Night, death was not the end, only a return to eternity.
As his body disintegrated entirely, a streak of pure black light suddenly flashed from his remains and vanished into the void.
Not even the shattered space, not even the laws of annihilation, could stop it.
That black light was absolutely pure—so black it devoured all surrounding light as it fled.
"Heaven's Sin… he actually died?!"
"Weren't they evenly matched just a moment ago?! How could it suddenly reverse so completely?! This is what battle between monstrous prodigies looks like… one misstep, and you die."
"But… he might still survive. That light at the end—it was the Blessing of Eternal Night! He used it to escape!"
In Eternal Night, there was a legend:Any genius who reached monstrous-level talent might be chosen by the Eternal Night World itself and granted its Heaven's Favor (永夜天眷).
This hidden blessing wouldn't activate in ordinary circumstances. But upon certain death, it would protect the soul, enabling reincarnation and resurgence.
Those with Heaven's Favor would reincarnate with their soul intact. After rebirth, they would gradually recover their memories, and in time, return to the stage of the world once more.
Of course, the new incarnation's race and talent were unpredictable—some might be stronger, others weaker—but it was still considered the greatest survival blessing one could receive.
"Still, in this lifetime… Heaven's Sin is dead. That is fact."
"The Emperor did it! He actually killed a monstrous-level prodigy!"
Cheng Yaojin clapped his hands and burst into laughter.
"What a victory! The heavens smile upon us!"
Liu Bowen nodded solemnly.
"Killing a genius of that level means eliminating a future peerless powerhouse. This will greatly deter the Eternal Night clans."
But Zhuge Liang calmly waved his feather fan:
"It won't just deter them—it will enrage them. The next time we face them, it won't be just one Heaven's Sin. It may be two... three... or worse."
Indeed, slapping the face of Eternal Night had consequences—and those consequences were deadly. But the Great Yi Dynasty was not afraid.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Yi Tianxing immediately moved, collecting the fallen feathers scattered from the shattered throne.
One after another, he swept them up and stored them into the Hongmeng Tower.
Some were lost in the broken void, sucked into the cracks of space, but about 90% were recovered.
These feathers had been his target from the beginning.Each Fallen Feather (堕落之羽) contained the Cave Heaven (洞天) of a demonic kingdom—part of a true innate spirit treasure—with immense value.
Refined properly, each could become a Cave Heaven treasure of its own.
While the throne was shattered and its fragments damaged, many of the internal worlds remained—though weakened, unstable, and in need of stabilization using world energy.
Still, the value was immeasurable.
Even damaged, these feathers retained potent cave-heaven realms. Some were already beginning to collapse, but within the Hongmeng Tower, they were temporarily stabilized.
And in total—
Over 100,000 Fallen Feathers had been collected.
"If refined properly," Yi Tianxing thought,"they could become 100,000 Cave Heaven treasures. We could bestow them upon our cultivators, or store them in the Star-Seizing Tower to strengthen Great Yi's foundation."
Such portable realms were precious beyond measure.
Each could be used to grow spirit herbs, spirit trees, rear beasts, or cultivate in isolation.
For those who could not form a Dantian World, these cave heavens were the next best thing.
In the world of cultivation, opportunities are everything.And the Great Yi Dynasty could now offer those opportunities en masse.
With a flash of light, Yi Tianxing stepped into a spatial gate and vanished.
The battlefield fell into silence.
The Eternal Night cultivators stood stunned, their faces a mix of shame and fury.
So many of their geniuses… crushed by a single "native" of the Eternal World.
A monstrous prodigy, fallen.
The ripple of this battle spread fast. Soon, all of Eternal Night buzzed with the news.
In the Fallen Angel Clan, an eruption of rage and killing intent split the skies, destroying tens of thousands of miles of space in an instant. Countless beings perished in the ensuing destruction.
"Yi Tianxing… YOU MUST DIE!"
The hateful voice reverberated through the void, long and lingering—evidence of boundless fury.
But no retaliation came immediately.
Due to the rules of the battlefield, no true high-level powerhouses could interfere.
Even the mightiest figures would be suppressed upon entering the Eternal Battlefield, forced to limit their cultivation to the battlefield's boundaries. Under such restrictions, even great cultivators could die.
And thus—
They watched.
They waited.
But they remembered.
