I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 582 Destruction
The water prison of the Dragon Abyss World trembled under the oppressive power of the four-armed ancient Taoist's golden body. The tsunami-like water was held aloft by the immortal artifacts held by his four arms, preventing it from tumbling down.

The Yin-Yang Two Elements Sword and the Myriad Ghosts Banner, having undergone the tempering and fusion of heavenly tribulations, have undergone a qualitative change and become celestial artifacts.

Cang Hong stared at the four-armed ancient Taoist, his pupils shrinking as a storm raged in his heart.

"This aura, this aura..."

"This is definitely not something that a True Immortal could possess!"

"Purple Mansion! You actually created a Purple Mansion!"

A sudden flash of insight struck Cang Hong, who gasped in shock, his eyes filled with a complex mix of astonishment, awe, and resentment.

Even his true self hasn't been able to touch the Purple Mansion yet.

The path to opening up new possibilities seems endless!
The human immortal in front of us is clearly only at the first level of cultivation, and his body refinement is only at the sixth level of the Divine Weapon Realm, yet he has already opened up the Purple Mansion!
But in an instant, the killing intent in his eyes intensified. If this boy were allowed to grow up, not only his avatar, but even his original dragon body would be destroyed by him!

"Hmph! You dare to act arrogantly in front of me!"

He roared, and the illusory image of a blue sea behind him suddenly expanded, as if an entire sea of ​​stars had collapsed down.

Another secret technique—All seas share the same origin!
In the azure sea, thousands of waves transformed into countless sea dragons, roaring and surging forward; the sky hung upside down, with countless water columns piercing the heavens, swirling around the dragon bodies of the vast expanse, transforming into nine layers of water prisons. Each layer of water prison was formed by using his lifespan as fuel, and the force of the water was so great that it could crush mountains and rivers and obliterate the void.

The Dragon Abyss World Water Prison, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly sank down again.

The four arms of the four-armed Taoist priest involuntarily sank downwards.

The four immortal artifacts, including the Sea-Covering Banner, were also suppressed, their light dimming.

Xia Daoming knew that this technique was a desperate measure used by the Dragon King!
His eyes shone with a resolute determination.

"Break it for Master Xia!"

Xia Daoming roared.

The ancient, simple light of the Daoguang Emperor was tinged with tiny purple flames.

Once this fire started, the water prison in the Dragon Abyss World melted away like ice and snow.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Taoist priest suddenly activated the four immortal artifacts.

Six more divine weapons emerged from the sky, unleashing earth-shattering power together with the four immortal artifacts.

boom--

The Dragon Abyss World, already melted by the purple fire and with its foundation shattered, was suddenly broken. The Ninefold Water Prison was cracked, and water mist scattered in the void like exploding stars.

Cang Hong coughed up a mouthful of dragon blood, and large pieces of his dragon scales peeled off. The blood transformed into a crimson-gold flame in the void, carrying dragon breath and scorching the air.

He stared intently at Xia Daoming, knowing that if the battle continued, his avatar would be completely annihilated. But when he thought that this boy's Purple Mansion had been opened, he knew that if he left him alive, it would surely lead to the extermination of his clan.

"If that's the case... then let's not keep them!"

Cang Hong's pupils suddenly turned into blood-red vertical pupils. Amidst the dragon's roar, his entire dragon body ignited with azure dragon flames, his bones and flesh crumbled inch by inch, and his dragon soul surged wildly.

—Dragon Clan Forbidden Technique: Blood Explosion Across the Ocean!
All of the avatar's essence, lifespan, and soul power burned away in an instant, transforming into a dazzling azure sun that completely enveloped Xia Daoming. In that instant, the void shattered like glass, and layers of space peeled away, revealing a dark and chaotic abyss.

"Die!"

Cang Hong's roar transformed into a deafening thunderclap, and the dragon soul surged toward Xia Daoming amidst the blue flames.

Xia Daoming fought back with all his might, but his cultivation level was ultimately too low, and his protective Dao light was crushed inch by inch. Just as the azure tide was about to annihilate him—

From the depths of the void, a long and ancient phoenix cry suddenly resounded!

The phantom of the Fire Phoenix Tree rose into the sky from behind Xia Daoming, its branches and leaves burning with countless strands of crimson-gold flames, firmly protecting him under its wings and branches.

The instant the flames and dragonfire intertwined was like two stars colliding in the depths of space, unleashing a cataclysmic burst of light and heat. Countless spatial rifts spread like a spiderweb, threatening to cause a world to collapse.

The phantom of the Fire Phoenix Tree was engulfed in crimson divine fire, its branches and leaves unfurling to transform into curtains of fire, blocking Xia Daoming's path. Each leaf seemed to burn with the patterns of the Great Dao, incinerating all the approaching blue flames and shockwaves.

However, this was, after all, Cang Hong's ultimate attack, which used up all the power of his incarnation.

Although the Fire Phoenix Tree protected Xia Daoming, the surrounding void had completely broken down, with the shattered spatial faults squeezing each other to form a chaotic vortex-like space.

It was a turbulent realm without direction or direction.

At times, a violent void storm sweeps in, carrying sharp, knife-like fragments of space; at other times, an eerie light appears in the distance, but it vanishes in an instant, seemingly originating from a fractured spacetime from an unknown place.

Countless whispers reached my ears, like the screams of countless trapped souls, or the groans of the space itself.

"Hold on!"

Xia Daoming gritted his teeth and stabilized his soul. The four immortal artifacts and six divine weapons hovered around his body, as if they were guards in formation.

The branches and leaves of the fire sycamore tree drooped down, weaving a crimson-gold cocoon around him, isolating him from the turbulent outside world.

But chaotic space is not static—

The next instant, an invisible and domineering force suddenly descended, like a giant abyss opening its blood-red maw, dragging him and Huo Wutong together and swallowing them into a dark and lightless vortex in the distance.

He rolled around in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, feeling as if countless blades were slicing through him, before Xia Daoming finally noticed that the surrounding tremors were gradually subsiding—the destructive force of Cang Hong's "Global Blood Explosion" was no longer present.

The Fire Phoenix Tree seemed to sense this change, or perhaps it had reached the edge of exhaustion. Its branches and leaves slowly withered, shedding the protective layer of crimson-gold fire cocoon.

"laugh--"

Without the protection of the fire cocoon, Xia Daoming gasped, his body immediately wracked with a sharp pain as if he were being torn apart and crushed by thousands of chaotic blades at the same time—it was the power of chaotic space, attacking and strangling his body from all directions without any pattern.

Fortunately, the four immortal artifacts and six divine weapons still surrounded him, firmly supporting the outer layer of protection; otherwise, his already riddled body would have long been torn to shreds by the chaotic forces.

But this glimmer of hope was quickly swallowed up by the cold reality.

Although he forced Cang Hong's avatar to self-destruct in this battle despite being a newly promoted True Immortal, the victory was so astonishing that even he himself hadn't dared to hope for it beforehand. However, the price he paid was equally unimaginable.

—Inside the Purple Mansion, those few wisps of mysterious and unparalleled purple energy have completely dissipated, leaving only a desolate shell. It is unknown how many years it will take to be reborn.

—The Fire Phoenix Tree shielded him from the aftershocks of its self-destruction at the last moment, enduring countless destructive impacts. Now, its branches droop, its flames dim, and it has lost its former vibrant vitality.

—In the Crimson Palace, the palace fire flickered dimly as if ill, and the sea of ​​blood was almost dried up; in the Yellow Court, the primordial spirit was weak, and the breath was so weak that it seemed that a gust of wind could blow it away.

—The physical body was extremely damaged, with cracks all over the skin, which was like fine gold, and many tendons and bones were broken. The internal organs were also displaced and disordered by the impact.

But these are not the worst things.

The worst part is that he had no idea where he had fallen.

He was surrounded by a boundless chaotic space, where spatial and temporal rifts and turbulent currents intertwined like a madman, and terrifying chaotic forces threatened to tear apart and shred his existence at any moment. To survive, he had to constantly activate his celestial artifacts and divine weapons to protect himself.

But now, his blood sea is nearly depleted, his primordial spirit is weak, and he has very little power left to output. The power to support and protect him is consuming his life force every moment.

Even more terrifying is that this chaotic space has sealed off all paths connecting it to the outside world, preventing even a trace of spiritual energy from penetrating.

Ten years, a hundred years, he might still be able to barely make ends meet with his personal reserves.

But what if there's no way out for hundreds, thousands of years... or even forever?

In this darkness, devoid of light, time, and boundaries, Xia Daoming felt as if he had been thrown into a bottomless well—but he didn't know whether the end of this well led to a path to survival or to eternal silence and nothingness.

　That concludes today's update.
