The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

"That way, we can crush you more cleanly and efficiently," Han Xing's calm yet chilling voice slowly rang out.

This arrogant and overbearing attitude once again caused an uproar among the Western Regions Allied Forces!

This was the first time they had ever seen a young fellow who had just broken through to the God Lord level dare to respond to the will of the Golden Flame God Lord in such a way!
Even the scorching will in the void paused slightly.

But as an ancient being that has existed for countless eons, it certainly wouldn't be angered by Han Xing's words.

The voice of the Golden Flame God Lord rang out again, still carrying that ancient majesty, but with an added hint of persuasiveness.

"Being eloquent won't change your current situation."

"Han Xing, I must admit that your potential and talent are truly unprecedented."

"If I were given another ten thousand years... no, perhaps only a few thousand years, I'm afraid even I wouldn't be able to control you."

"But, unfortunately... your time to grow up was too short!"

"Even if you have extraordinary talent and can instantly kill a high-level god lord, look around!"

"My millions of elite troops have surrounded this secret realm like an iron barrel, and the entire Western Regions have been sealed off layer by layer!"

Even if you manage to escape the secret realm, you'll still find it difficult to escape the Western Regions!

At this point, He suddenly changed the subject, his tone now carrying a hint of leniency.

"However... I take into consideration your extraordinary talent and the fact that you are a disciple of the Eternal Stars..."

"If you now hand over all the treasures you obtained in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm and voluntarily return to the Western Regions Holy Temple with me..."

"Then I can promise to spare the lives of your companions and let them leave the Western Regions safely."

"This is your, and their... only chance."

These words, like the whispers of a demon, carried immense pressure and temptation, echoing across the battlefield.

All eyes were tensely focused on the depths of the crack, awaiting Han Xing's decision.

However... the expected scenario did not occur.

What they were told was indeed Han Xing's cold voice.

"Instant Shadow Kill..."

"Ultimate Shadow Prison..."

"An immortal body..."

"The Shadow of the End..."

With each word he uttered, a terrifying aura erupted!

From that crack, it seemed as if some kind of terrifying monster was brewing a world-destroying attack, sending chills down one's spine!

All the gods present, including Golden Flame and Rock, felt a sense of unease, as if they were being watched closely.

Even the divine intuition told them that they seemed destined to perish here.

The two ancient deities exchanged a glance, and disbelief appeared in each other's eyes.

He, a dignified ancient god, even one who aspired to achieve eternity, was to perish here today!?

"This is impossible!"

The Golden Flame God roared, his voice echoing across tens of thousands of light-years!
"No matter what tricks you try, with me here today, I won't let you succeed!"

"Golden Flame Burning Realm Palm - Ignite!"

As soon as the words fell, it was as if the fire power of the entire world was mobilized, and the surrounding temperature suddenly rose by thousands of degrees!
The surrounding area was engulfed in flames!
Within these flames, a giant fiery hand, tens of thousands of light-years in diameter, appeared out of nowhere!

And with an overwhelming force, it pressed down on the crack where Han Xing was!

The opponent was actually planning to unleash a powerful attack to interrupt the Korean star's charge-up.

But it's clear... no one can interrupt a Korean star's attack when she has the ability to stop time.

Just as that colossal fiery hand, powerful enough to incinerate astral planes and cover tens of thousands of light-years, was about to strike the crack with boundless divine might—

"call out--!"

A faint whooshing sound rang out again.

Unlike before, this time, everyone clearly saw a streak of light!
It was a seemingly simple arrow, yet its speed seemed to surpass the limits of thought, ignoring the distance of space and the terrifying golden flames that burned everything!
It pierced through that massive, fiery hand that blotted out the sky with such simplicity and directness, just like a red-hot iron needle piercing through thin ice!

"laugh--!"

Where the arrow passed, the vast fire elemental laws contained within the giant palm seemed to have encountered their nemesis, instantly extinguishing and disintegrating! An irreparable hole appeared in the enormous fiery palm, and this hole was rapidly expanding, causing the entire structure of the giant palm to collapse. Before it had even fully landed, it had already disintegrated into countless flying sparks in mid-air!

But this is far from over!
After piercing the giant palm, the arrow's momentum did not diminish but increased, as if it had locked onto the origin in the dark, instantly crossing the boundary between reality and the void!
The next instant, in the incredulous, even slightly horrified gaze of the [Golden Flame God Lord], who was hidden deep within the endless void, the arrow appeared directly between his eyebrows as if it had been born from nothingness!
"Do not--!!!"

He only had time to let out a short, terrifying roar. All his defenses, all his supernatural powers, and all his indestructible divine flames were rendered useless in the face of this arrow!
"puff!"

A soft sound.

The arrow pierced his forehead precisely and exited through the back of his head.

The divine flames surrounding the Golden Flame God, which had burned eternally and illuminated the Western Regions for countless epochs, flickered violently like a candle flame being blown by a gale, and then... were completely extinguished!
The light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his enormous divine body began to weather and dissipate like a sand sculpture.

The ancient being who dominated the Western Regions for countless years and was only one step away from eternity—the [Golden Flame God Lord]—has thus... fallen!
quiet!
An even more deathly silence than before enveloped all living beings who sensed this scene!

The expressions on the faces of all the soldiers of the Western Regions Allied Army froze completely, their previous uproar and mockery turning into boundless fear and bewilderment.

They gazed up at the void where the ancient being had vanished, their faith seemingly crumbling in an instant, their weapons clattering to the ground.

Even the usually calm and composed [Rock God] showed a slight tremor in his rock-like body.

He stared intently at the direction where the Golden Flame God had fallen, then suddenly looked at the crack in the temple, his eyes filled with unprecedented fear and...

A hint of retreat that even he himself was unwilling to admit!
The people of the Southern Region, including the Great Beast Lord and Cheng Jianyong, had absolute confidence in Han Xing.

But witnessing such an ancient and powerful deity being so easily and effortlessly defeated still left him utterly shocked, his mouth agape for a long time.

However, just as this extreme silence and shock were spreading—

"Om...!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying will, like a primordial beast that had slumbered for billions of years, suddenly awakened from the deepest and most primordial land of the Western Regions!
This will is so vast, ancient, and majestic that it far surpasses the Golden Flame and the Rock God by more than ten thousand times!
The moment it appeared, the entire Western Regions, countless stars, chaos, secret realms, and even the laws themselves, all let out mournful cries and trembled!

A cold, indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion yet containing the fury to annihilate all things, seemed to emanate from the very source of the ancient river of time.

It resonated directly within the deepest recesses of the souls of Korean stars and all beings of god-like status and above:

"Desecrating the majesty of the Western Regions... Slaughtering the divine lord..."

"To be executed."

Without further ado, the word "annihilate" fell. A gigantic, invisible, intangible gray hand, seemingly formed from countless shattered worlds and vanished civilizations, appeared.

Ignoring space, ignoring time, ignoring all rules, it slowly pressed down from infinite heights towards the location of Han Xing!
Even before the giant hand had fully descended, the aura it emitted had already caused the entire dilapidated Heavenly Pool Secret Realm to begin to disintegrate and annihilate!
The Great Beast Lord, the Rock God Lord, and even all living beings were like ants in a storm under this aura, their thoughts almost frozen!
This is... an annihilation from a distant, eternal being in the Western Regions!

However, compared to the fear of others, Han Xing simply raised his head and let out a barely audible chuckle.

There was no fear or panic in that laughter, only a calm and composed feeling of complete control.

Even... it carried a hint of sarcasm that I had expected.

Just as the aura of that giant gray hand was about to completely crush the entire secret realm, and everything, including Han Xing, was about to turn into nothingness, at the critical moment...

"Humph!"

A cold snort seemed to come from the very end of the ancient Milky Way.

It wasn't loud, but it instantly swept away the eternal, despairing pressure that permeated the heavens and earth!

Immediately afterwards, endless, dazzling starlight appeared out of nowhere, like a gentle veil that instantly enveloped the entire dilapidated Heavenly Lake Secret Realm, protecting Han Xing and all his companions within it.

The enormous gray hand, powerful enough to annihilate a stellar civilization, pressed down on this suddenly appearing curtain of starlight, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, failing to even stir a ripple.

"Old man, you dared to touch my disciple... Did you even ask me first?"

A domineering and supremely majestic voice resounded throughout the void and myriad realms.

The next moment, a blurry figure dressed in white with flowing black hair, surrounded by countless phantoms of stars, silently appeared above the temple where Han Xing was.

He simply stood there, and it was as if he had become the center of the world, with all the stars in the sky revolving around him and paying homage to him!
The one who came was none other than the Eternal Star!

His gaze seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on the awakened will deep within the Western Regions.

"When the younger generation fights and one of them dies, does the older generation suddenly jump in?"

"You people from the Western Regions... are you sore losers?"

"If you wish to initiate an eternal war, I... will fight you to the bitter end!"

Domineering! Protective! Ruthless!

The eternal appearance and words of Wanxing acted like a stabilizing force, instantly dispelling all gloom and fear.

The people from the Southern Region, having escaped death, were already overjoyed!

The Western Regions Allied Forces, including the [Rock God Lord], were now ashen-faced.

Under the vast and eternal star power, not even the slightest thought of resistance could arise!
Deep within the Western Regions, the will that had been eternally blocked by the myriad stars emitted a rumbling sound.

“Wanxing… your disciple slaughtered no ordinary god-king.”

"The Golden Flame is an eternal seed nurtured by countless resources in our Western Regions, carrying the hope for the future of our region!"

"This child must pay the price for this!"

The sound was thunderous, carrying an undeniable resolve.

However, when confronted with the other party's accusations, Wan Xing Yongheng merely scoffed dismissively.

"Eternal Seed? What kind of seed is it if it's dead?"

His voice remained calm, yet carried an air of domineering arrogance that seemed to survey the ages:

"Since it's a seed, it should be prepared to die halfway through! If it's not as good as others, it deserves to die!"

"If you want to harm my disciple, don't make up these high-sounding excuses!"

He raised his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of void, locking onto the true form of that will deep within the Western Regions.

His tone suddenly turned fierce, as if billions of stars had exploded at once:
"I'll put my words here."

"My disciple is safe!"

"If you from the Western Regions are not convinced, then draw up a line!"

"Whether you all come at me together, or I slaughter my way through all your secret realms in the Western Regions, the choice is yours!"

This is not just protecting one's own, but a blatant declaration of war and an invincible confidence!
The sound spread, and all worlds fell silent!
Even the ancient, eternal will of the Western Regions seemed to be intimidated by this unreasonable strength and domineering aura, and fell into a brief stagnation.

The people of the Southern Region were thrilled, and the Great Beast Lord was so excited that he trembled all over.

Even the Korean star looked up at the white-clad figure above him, a smile appearing on his face.

"My master seems easy to talk to most of the time, but he's really cool when he gets serious!"

However, after the initial joy, a hint of worry reappeared in Han Xing's eyes: "But... things in the Western Regions probably won't end so easily..."

Sure enough, he had barely finished speaking!

"Om-!"

"Om-!"

"Om-!"

In an instant, not just one, but three terrifying wills, imbued with boundless majesty and seemingly integrated with the origin of the Western Regions, awakened like slumbering dragons!
In an instant, the very essence of the entire Western Regions trembled!
The stars dimmed, the void shattered, and an overwhelming pressure, threatening to overturn the universe, crushed down upon Wanxing Yongheng and the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm under his protection!

This is a combined deterrent force from multiple eternally existing entities in the Western Regions!
It seems that it wants to suppress Wanxing Yongheng's "arrogant" arrogance with absolute power!
However, just as these three united wills were about to break through the void and descend upon this place...

"Humph!"

"Do you think there's no one left in the Southern Region?!"

Each and every one of these eternal wills is equally vast and boundless, yet possesses entirely different attributes.

Like a colossal pillar supporting the sky, it suddenly traversed the endless territory from the direction of the southern region and descended fiercely!

A single will, like a mother tree of life, supports billions of worlds, radiating a magnificent vitality that nourishes all things and is tenacious and unyielding.

A will, like an undying battle spirit, soared into the sky, stirring up the galaxy, as if ready to tear apart any invading enemy at any moment.

A single will is like the source of all laws, swirling in chaos, giving rise to earth, water, fire, and wind, containing the ultimate mysteries of creation and return to nothingness.

Four eternal wills, no less powerful than those of the Western Regions, converged with the eternal stellar power of the myriad stars.

It firmly blocked the combined attack of the three wills from the Western Regions!

"boom--!!!"

An invisible collision erupted on a level beyond reality, without a sound.

However, it caused the souls of all beings above the level of God Lord to tremble violently, as if they heard the mournful cries of countless worlds between birth and death!
