Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

He came, he won, and that's enough.

After the Great Dao Saints' competition concluded, the preliminary rounds of the Heavenly Emperor Domain also came to an end.

The competition has now temporarily concluded. Next, after the preliminary rounds in the other major domains are completed, all the winners will gather in the Emperor's Domain. At that time, countless cultivators will come to witness the event; it will undoubtedly be an unprecedented spectacle!
However, before the finals began, the Hongmeng Universe welcomed an unexpected guest to Ying Zheng—Jianan, a four-star executive priest from the Cosmic Alliance!

As soon as Jianan descended upon the Hongmeng Universe, Ying Zheng immediately sensed it. He personally rose and went to greet him.

In the void, Jia Nan's figure slowly descended, and Ying Zheng also tore through the void and appeared here.

"I was unaware of the presence of High Priest Ganan. I apologize for failing to greet you properly," Ying Zheng said.

Jianan himself is also a master, though not as powerful as Ying Zheng, he has already stepped into the fifth level of the cosmic realm. More importantly, there is his identity and the Canglan Cosmic Alliance behind him.

"Brother Ye, you're too kind," Priest Ganan said with a smile.

After saying that, Jia Nan asked again, "Brother Ye, you should know why I've come here this time, right?"

"Is it because of the destruction of the Fire Jade Universe?" Ying Zheng asked.

“Exactly.” Priest Ganan nodded, his expression becoming serious.

"As expected, the Cosmic Alliance has come to investigate the destruction of the Fire Jade Universe!"

Ying Zheng's heart stirred slightly, but he remained outwardly calm.

“We have already been to the Fire Jade Universe,” said the priest Ganan, looking at Ying Zheng.

"Us?" Ying Zheng was taken aback.

“Yes, including myself, the Cosmic Alliance sent a total of four executive priests to handle this matter, and I am one of them,” Priest Ganan explained.

Then he added meaningfully, "The one leading the team is Priestess Hiss, who is an Ancient Saint."

"Even a seventh-level cosmic-level expert has been mobilized?!" Ying Zheng was shocked.

"It's not level six, it's level seven," Priest Ganan corrected with a smile.

Ying Zheng: “…”

The destruction of a level-three cosmic civilization, which led to the deployment of a level-seven cosmic expert, was something Ying Zheng had never anticipated.

But he wasn't afraid.

He truly has no causal connection with Nagara, and Gu Si will undoubtedly sever all ties with him completely. Unless they capture Nagara and Gu Si, it's impossible for them to implicate him.

Ying Zheng was absolutely certain of this.

Moreover, it's possible for the Cosmic Alliance to capture Nagara, but capturing Gu Si is simply impossible.

Gu Si's origins are astonishing; even if the old monsters of the Canglan Universe Civilization were to personally take action, they might not be able to capture him.

"Uh, I wonder if High Priest Hiss has found out anything?" Ying Zheng asked.

“The investigation has uncovered some things,” Ganan nodded.

"Priest Hiss used the technique of 'Rewinding the Light' to examine what happened in the Fire Jade Universe in the past and saw who was behind it. Of course, he also saw Brother Ye."

Ying Zheng nodded: "Yes, I was indeed there at the time, and I met that person."

"But please rest assured, fellow Daoist, I did not attack the Fire Jade Universe. I just happened to be going to the Fire Jade Universe on some business."

"What is it?" Priest Ganan pressed.

After saying that, he added, "Please rest assured, Brother Ye, I have absolutely no other intentions; it is just a routine inquiry."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.

"I went to the Fire Jade Universe to negotiate peace with them. The Fire Jade Universe and our Hongmeng Universe had some friction in the Canglan Illusionary Realm, and I hoped to negotiate with them to coexist peacefully. As it happened, I came across this situation."

“If it were just an ordinary thief, I would definitely have intervened, but that person’s cultivation level is too high. I am no match for him, so I can only watch from the sidelines.”

"Mmm." Priest Ganan nodded.

He then smiled and said, "Actually, it's pretty much the same as what we know."

"That guy's name is Nagara, an extremely ruthless wanderer whose cultivation is close to that of an ancient saint. He's a wanted criminal on the most wanted list, having destroyed multiple cosmic civilizations! The Canglan Universe Alliance has been relentlessly pursuing him!"...

"Before arriving in the Fire Jade Universe, he had just launched an attack on the Taixu Universe civilization! He killed three guardian gods of the Taixu Universe in one fell swoop. Those three were all level five experts at the Universe level!"

"After the attack, he fled towards the edge of the Canglan Universe Circle, attacking other cosmic civilizations along the way. In addition to the complete destruction of the Huoyu Universe Civilization, two other cosmic civilizations also suffered the same fate. Furthermore, two other cosmic civilizations were severely damaged by him," Priest Ganan recounted in a deep voice.

"Hiss!!" At this moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help but gasp.

"This person...!" Ying Zheng was speechless for a moment.

It seems he underestimated Nagara's madness.

This person is not just arrogant, he's downright insane!

"So, Brother Ye, it's truly fortunate that you didn't clash with this person," the priest Ganan said with a smile to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng: “…”

"The four of us came here only to investigate the situation in the Fire Jade Universe. There is another expert truly in charge of hunting down this person. However, I think it will be very difficult to capture him. He possesses the Cosmic Star Shuttle and is extremely cunning. He has probably already escaped the Azure Universe Circle by now," said Priest Ganan.

"Then..." Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment before asking, "What should we do with the Fire Jade Universe?"

"There's nothing we can do; they've just had bad luck," High Priest Ganan sighed. "The Cosmic Alliance can't possibly give them another universe."

"While the Cosmic Alliance has no rule against attacking nascent universes, it also cannot openly engage in trade with them. After all, you should understand, fellow Daoist, that nascent universes also have their own civilizations."

"Hmm." Ying Zheng nodded.

"If the Fire Jade Universe can find a suitable nascent universe on its own, that would be fine. But if it can't, then the Fire Jade Universe civilization will simply disappear forever into the annals of history," Priest Ganan lamented.

“I’ve only come here on routine to inquire about Brother Ye’s situation. Now that things have been clarified, I’ll take my leave,” said Priest Ganan.

"Brother Dao, please wait a moment. My Hongmeng Universe is currently holding the Hongmeng Grand Ceremony. I wonder if you would be willing to grace us with your presence..." Ying Zheng invited.

"No, no." Priest Ganan shook his head. "Priest Hiss and the others are still waiting for me to return to the Fire Jade Universe to report back."

Since the priest of Ganan said so, Ying Zheng naturally did not insist on keeping him there.

Priest Ganan then left.

After he left, Ying Zheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the Cosmic Alliance's investigation yielded no results, he naturally no longer needed to worry about this matter.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for Ying Zheng.

Even if Hongmeng Universe joins the Cosmic Alliance and receives its protection, it cannot rest easy from now on.

"We must set up a defensive barrier in the Hongmeng Universe, one that can block enemy invasion," Ying Zheng thought to himself.

However, setting up a defensive array that can cover the entire universe is by no means an easy task.

As time went by, the preliminary rounds in each of the major regions came to an end one after another.

Through preliminary rounds, the strongest individuals at the Three Saint Realms were selected from each of the various domains. Subsequently, they traveled to the Heavenly Emperor Domain under the guidance of their respective domain lords or the Primordial Sovereigns in charge of the process.

As the Primordial Sovereigns from various domains descended, terrifying auras permeated the Heavenly Emperor Domain. The gathering of so many Primordial Sovereigns in one place sent shivers down the spines of countless cultivators!

After these Primordial Supremes descended, they each landed in the void and sat quietly waiting. Finally, after a long time, the thunderous sound of bells echoed from the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, shaking the entire Origin Realm!
"The Hongmeng Grand Ceremony, the final round begins now!"

Dan Chenzi stood in the void and shouted loudly.

"The order of the competition will be determined by drawing lots among the participants from each domain, and each match will decide the winner!"

As Dan Chenzi finished speaking, Ying Zheng waved his hand in the void, instantly creating three great worlds!

These three great worlds are the arena where the saints clash.

Thousands of Saints at the Third Saint Realm flew out from the void and drew lots. Then, the competition officially began.

Those who make it to the finals are all top performers among the Three Saints, and they all possess the ability to defeat enemies across borders.

Watching these exceptionally talented saints engage in fierce battle, countless cultivators were also deeply moved.

Because the finals were held in the Emperor's Domain, a large number of cultivators rushed to watch. However, many more cultivators were unable to attend in person.

As a result, many people are broadcasting live on the Shenwang website!

Throughout the entire Origin Realm, countless cultivators gathered within the Divine Network to watch the final round of the Primordial Chaos Grand Ceremony held by the Heavenly Emperor Domain. Some even set up betting odds!

"At the Primordial Saint Realm, the next battle will be between Yang Jian from the Heavenly Emperor Domain and Chi Lie from the Chariot Star Domain!"

Dan Chenzi shouted loudly in the void.

"It's here, it's here, the competition in the Emperor's Domain has begun!"

"It's Yang Jian!"

"I heard his performance in the preliminary round was absolutely amazing!"

“Chi Lie is very strong! He is the personal disciple of Chi Lian Demon Lord of the Che Xing Great Domain.”

"That's right. I heard he cultivated the Crimson Serpent Demonic Path, a peerless demonic art created by the Crimson Serpent Demon Lord. It's extremely terrifying!"

Amidst the anticipation of countless cultivators, Yang Jian and Chi Lie each flew into the great world created by Ying Zheng.

In this vast world, there is only chaos, and nothing else. It is the perfect place for a battlefield.

Just like the rules for the preliminary rounds, the use of magical items is also not allowed in the final rounds.

There's no way around it; if we don't ban magical artifacts, who knows how many contestants will bring their sect elders' primordial treasures in and start a fight.

Yang Jian stood in the void, his gaze piercing, looking down at the Crimson Saint. He appeared calm and composed, as if victory was assured.

At the level of the Primordial Saint, Yang Jian considered himself nearly invincible. This was even acknowledged by Ying Zheng.

With Ying Zheng's approval, Yang Jian's confidence naturally soared!

Compared to Yang Jian's confidence, his opponent, the Crimson Saint, felt unprecedented pressure.

His opponent was a disciple of the Great Emperor, an unparalleled saint who proved his Dao through force. In the preliminary rounds, Yang Jian swept aside all his enemies, none of whom could defeat him.

"Meeting you, fellow Daoist, is truly my misfortune this time," Chi Lie sighed softly.

"However... if you think you can easily defeat me, then you are sorely mistaken!"

Chi Lie roared, and his entire body transformed into a Dharma body that was a million feet tall.

……

He stood in mid-air, his feet treading on the chaotic void, his eyes burning like blazing sparks!
"Ha! Crimson Serpent Demonic Path!!" The Crimson Saint suddenly let out a deafening roar, his entire body erupting with boundless divine power.

"Pan Shen True Form!!" Yang Jian also shouted, unleashing the Pan Shen True Form, which also transformed into a towering giant a million feet tall.

Immediately afterwards, the two giants clashed fiercely in the void, engaging in a fierce battle.

Rumble! Crack!

A terrifying power suddenly erupted, shattering the void into pieces.

The duel between the two saints was immediately clear, with Yang Jian clearly having the upper hand, while the Crimson Saint was shaken and staggered backward.

"Crimson Serpent Demonic Path - Azure Dragon Transformation!"

Suddenly, the Crimson Saint roared, and his true form began to transform. A terrifying aura condensed, and it turned into a hideous and terrifying suit of armor.

After donning the armor, his combat power surged instantly, and he launched a frenzied attack on Yang Jian.

"Hmph! It's nothing but a trivial trick!" Yang Jian sneered.

He flipped his palms, blocking all the enemy's attacks. Not only that, the terrifying force even shattered the armor on the Crimson Saint's body!

"Crimson Serpent Demonic Path - Mysterious Heaven Transformation!"

The Crimson Saint roared again, as if he had borrowed boundless battle power from an unknown source, causing his overall combat strength to surge more than tenfold.

"Kill!!" he roared, launching a frenzied attack on Yang Jian, and at one point even managed to suppress him.

However, at this moment, Yang Jian's gaze narrowed slightly, his figure suddenly retreated, and then he shouted sharply: "The Supreme Dao of the Divine Pan God!"

As he finished speaking, a vast divine power gathered, and a phantom of a giant axe appeared in his hand. He grabbed the axe and swung it down fiercely.

"Creation of heaven and earth!"

A terrifying, chilling light burst forth, severing all obstacles.

"Haa! Shatter for me!" the Crimson Saint roared, swinging his fists to try and crush the cold light, but the giant axe's cold light instead cleaved him in two!

Blood instantly filled the void.

"I am immortal!" The Crimson Saint, cleaved in two, did not die. His body shone brightly, and the two halves of his body forcibly rejoined. At the same time, he roared once more: "Crimson Demonic Path! Primordial Transformation!!"

This time, he became incredibly powerful, unleashing terrifying combat strength and killing intent.

"It's no use!" Yang Jian said coldly, then gripped his giant axe tightly and swung it down again.

"cut!"

The terrifying giant axe slashed down again, cleaving the Crimson Saint in two once more.

This time, unlike before, Yang Jian's axe blow extinguished all of his life force.

"Die!" Yang Jian said casually, and the true body of the Crimson Saint shattered with a crash, completely crushed and annihilated by his killing intent.

"Won!"

"That was too easy!"

"Yes, the difference in strength is too great. I don't think Yang Jian is using his full strength at all."

"Among the Primordial Saints, Yang Jian is almost invincible, and no one can defeat him."

"Chi Lie is not weak either, but unfortunately he ran into Yang Jian."

Countless cultivators felt sorry for the Crimson Saint.

In the realm of Primordial Saints, Yang Jian is indeed invincible.

Yang Jian won, and Ying Zheng nodded slightly in approval. (End of Chapter)
