I, the Chaos Entity, joined the chat group at the start.

In an instant, twenty figures, the strongest in the plateau, joined forces, causing the heavens to shatter and the river of time for countless epochs to collapse, as if it had never existed again.

Even amidst the chaos and turmoil of the vast universe, the sight of countless creatures stirring up trouble cannot help but cause heartache.

In such an intense battle, Xu Yi's physical body was finally shattered, leaving only a few bones and an undying flame of his primordial spirit. However, his consciousness did not disappear. The Ancestor also suffered heavy losses.

The ten extraordinary immortal emperors were all killed by Xu Yi, but since they were on the plateau, they could not have truly died. Several of the progenitors also perished.

They were all truly terrified by Xu Yi's godlike and demonic appearance at this moment. This was not a human at all, but a monster. There had never been such a being before!

Just then, from the altar deep in the plateau, another aura of an Immortal Emperor soared into the sky. The other party was clearly at the Immortal Emperor level, yet he gave Xu Yi a feeling that was even more dangerous than that of the Ancestor!

Amidst the billowing black mist, a figure slowly emerged. The first thing Xu Yi saw was a willow tree with roots reaching to the heavens, seemingly boundless. With just one glance, Xu Yi's heart sank.

As the fog dissipated, a tall, slender woman dressed in a black palace dress emerged from it.

Even though the woman was corrupted by dark substances, she was still incredibly beautiful, wielding a dark immortal sword with cold and indifferent eyes.

"Willow Goddess!" Xu Yi exclaimed, the situation he least wanted to see had finally happened.

"I am the Willow Goddess, and also the Dark Willow Goddess," the Willow Goddess said, her voice like a knife.

"Dark Willow God, do you intend to deal with me?" Xu Yi asked.

In reality, even if someone like Liu Shen is a Celestial Emperor, their original consciousness and self still exist, even if they are corrupted; at most, they are extremely violent and twisted!

Like these progenitors, they absorbed primordial matter and still retained their own consciousness, only their desires in all aspects were magnified countless times.

Xu Yi did not believe that even if Liu Shen was corrupted into the Dark Liu Shen, she would help Gao Yuan deal with him.

Liu Shen remained silent, and with a wave of her hand, dark power erupted as the dark immortal sword in her hand slashed straight at him.

This sword strike not only severed the physical body, but also cut through Xu Yi's primordial spirit fire, containing boundless killing intent.

Xu Yi's eyes turned cold. He flicked his finger, catching the Willow Immortal Sword in mid-air and shattering it.

At the same time, he unleashed the Divine Elephant Suppressing Hell Force. Although his physical body collapsed at this moment, it did not affect Xu Yi's combat power. At this level, the physical body actually has little impact on strength and can be rebuilt in an instant, unless the source is exhausted.

"die!"

Xu Yi did not hold back. His Chaos Fist evolved into various wondrous techniques, transforming into a Qilin, a True Dragon, a Phoenix, and a Vermilion Bird!

These divine beasts roared and howled, finally transforming into a gigantic, boundless golden fist.

Liu Shen was ultimately just a Celestial Emperor. With this punch, Liu Shen's physical body was directly shattered by Xu Yi, cracking like a fine piece of porcelain.

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Liu Shen's mouth, but he showed little emotion. Instead, he used the Liu Shen Technique to capture one of the progenitors and forcefully devoured him to restore himself.

Upon witnessing this scene, the other ancestors did not stop or intervene; instead, their eyes were filled with deep fear.

This scene puzzled Xu Yi even more. Could it be that Liu Shen's status was above these ancestors? But the strongest thing about the plateau was the ancestors and the plateau's own will. How could they tolerate Liu Shen's side devouring an ancestor?

In an instant, Liu Shen recovered completely, and even her aura became stronger, vaguely approaching the realm of the Sacrifice Dao.

Choosing the path of primordial matter means there's no need to sacrifice everything; it can be understood as an alternative path to enlightenment, possessing the power of sacrificial rituals, but there's a certain gap compared to those who enter this realm through their own path.

"kill!"

The Dark Willow Goddess's attack came again. A dark willow tree appeared behind her, and billions of dark runes appeared on the willow branches. Billions of immortal swords were directly transformed and controlled by her. The sky was filled with dark immortal swords like a torrential rain!

Xu Yi did not hold back just because the other party was Liu Shen. Since the other party had already fallen, then death was her destiny.

Liu Shen is a respectable person, and she doesn't want to become like this!

Xu Yi condensed the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and the power of the Immortal Dao gathered around his body, with the ancient figure of a giant wielding an axe appearing behind him.

Chapter 407 Xu Yi Falls, Ruthless Man Becomes Demon

After such a fierce battle, Xu Yi's consciousness gradually became blurred, and his primordial spirit was severely injured. However, although he shattered the Dark Willow God in front of him several times, this was a plateau region. With the help of the plateau's power, the Willow God was resurrected several times and even devoured two ancestors and dark matter!

Unfortunately, Xu Yi ultimately held back. If he wanted to, he could have easily rendered the Dark Willow God eternally dead by paying a price, but he didn't do so!

The scene of sitting and discussing Taoism with Liu Shen in the past flashed through his mind. Liu Shen was indeed graceful and left a deep impression on him.

When Xu Yi was weak, he also received help from Liu Shen.

"Hey!"

With a sigh, Xu Yi's feelings were extremely complicated. The Willow Goddess must have suffered a lot to become like this back then.

“Willow God, has your consciousness truly been extinguished? Even a dark primordial spirit should still have its own consciousness,” Xu Yi spoke again.

The Willow Goddess transformed into the Dark Willow Goddess from the Immortal Emperor realm. At this realm, even if one is corrupted, at most one will undergo an ominous demonization, but the power of the Immortal Emperor is enough to maintain one's consciousness.

The Corpse Immortal Emperor was a prime example. Although he was extreme, he did not lose his essence and could still orchestrate events for eternity, waiting to regain his complete form.

Faced with Xu Yi's words, Liu Shen did not reply, but only attacked relentlessly, each move full of killing intent, without holding back.

At the same time, the will of the plateau also made its move, gathering the power of the entire plateau and transforming it into a giant dark hand that descended from the sky.

That was the power of someone above the half-step sacrificial path. If Xu Yi were at his peak, he could have resisted it, but now he had no way to escape unscathed.

But why did Xu Yi retreat? He came here this time to break through the limits of life and death sacrifice and find the opportunity to reach the realm of sacrifice between life and death and nothingness.

Come on.

Xu Yi mustered all his strength to resist, determined to die, leaving himself no way out.

Boom!

Amidst boundless light and darkness, Xu Yi's physical body disintegrated, and his primordial spirit entered a void.

To outsiders, Xu Yi was destroyed; his primordial spirit and physical body were annihilated, and his aura completely dissipated.

After the battle subsided, the remaining progenitors were still shaken, but they still said, "He was truly a formidable opponent. If the will of the plateau hadn't intervened at the last moment, this person might have really overthrown my plateau clan."

"Anyone who opposes my clan will inevitably die; there are no exceptions."

This time, the Plateau Clan lost many of its ancestors and ten Immortal Emperors.

However, for the plateau, both the progenitor and the immortal emperor can be created later.

For countless eons, the plateau has been home to many powerful individuals capable of advancing to the level of Immortal Emperor or even Ancestor.

Unfortunately, due to limited space, many people are stuck here and find it difficult to break through.

Unless one breaks through through their own abilities, but if that were truly possible, why bother joining the plateau?

Above the plateau, the Dark Willow God floated, its gaze fixed on the spot where Xu Yi had vanished, motionless.

A universe that covers the sky.

The instant Xu Yi's aura vanished, the vast, blood-red aura of the Heaven-Covering Universe...

"Brother Yi's aura has disappeared, how is this possible?" Ye Fan was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Having reigned as the Heavenly Emperor for many years, this was the first time he had felt a sense of panic.

"elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qiong, who was standing next to Ye Fan, turned pale instantly.

"Impossible! My brother is so powerful, he couldn't have perished." Xu Qiong's eyes were full of tears.

"Xiao Qiong, I don't believe Brother Yi has perished either. But..."

Ye Fan couldn't finish his sentence. He truly couldn't sense any trace of Xu Yi's presence; it was as if all of Xu Yi's existence had been erased.

This was indeed the work of the Highland Will. At the moment Xu Yi fell, all traces of his past were buried by forbidden power. As time goes by, Xu Yi will be completely forgotten.

"elder brother!"

In the desolate forbidden zone, the ruthless empress felt an unbearable pain in her heart. She roared to the sky, surrounded by dark mist and murderous aura that seemed to freeze the entire universe!

It must be understood that the Ruthless Empress is currently a quasi-Immortal Emperor. If she does not control herself, the entire universe will be devoured, turning her into a mad killing machine.

In this life, Ruthless Empress attained the Dao of Quasi-Immortal Emperor by using the Devouring Heaven Demon Art and achieved the Dao Fruit of Quasi-Immortal Emperor by using dark matter. Theoretically, Ruthless Empress is the closest being to the Highland Clan, but Ruthless Empress found her own Dao in it!

The ruthless man's murderous intent was boundless, and killing intent permeated the air!

Her brother is dead, and she no longer cares about right or wrong. She wants the plateau and all the heavens to be buried with him.

In an instant, the ruthless empress opened the void and flew towards all the heavens and myriad worlds, rushing towards the plateau.

Wu Shi, Di Zun, west Huang, and others tried to stop him, but how could they possibly withstand a quasi-Immortal Emperor?

Moreover, anyone who dares to stop a ruthless person will be killed; the ruthless person will really kill.

In the end, it was Ye Fan who stopped the ruthless empress.

"Empress, I know you are in pain because Brother Yi has fallen, but if you seek revenge now, it will be like a moth drawn to a flame. Not only will you not be able to avenge yourself, but you will also die. Brother Yi doesn't want you to do that. If you die, Brother Yi's sacrifice will have been in vain," Ye Fan said.

"My brother is dead, how can I live alone? My brother perished on the plateau, so I will stay there with him. Don't stop me, or I will break your legs if I don't kill you!" the Empress said.

Ye Fan trembled for a moment upon hearing this, but still mustered his courage and said, "Then go ahead and hit me, Empress."

"you……"

The ruthless empress stood frozen in place, ultimately unable to bring herself to strike.

"Brother Yi's revenge isn't yours alone, Empress. We need time, and right now, the most important thing is to improve our cultivation level and strength so that we can avenge Brother Yi in the future," Ye Fan said.

"elder brother."

Blood tears streamed down the ruthless empress's face, and her black hair slowly turned silver threads, as white as winter snow, in Ye Fan's gaze.

"The Empress."

Ye Fan felt distressed. He understood that this matter was a huge blow to the Empress, as Brother Yi held an extremely important place in her heart.

The ruthless empress finally returned. She did not go to the plateau; she wanted to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm. One day, she would personally go to the plateau and kill everyone who had killed her brother.

The Great Way Chat Group.

Ye Fan's granddaughter: "Why is Uncle Xu's profile picture black?"

Ye Qingxian noticed that Xu Yi's profile picture had gone black, essentially vanishing into nothingness, as if he were about to disappear.

Black Emperor: "Master... has fallen."

Fairy Yunxiao: "Fellow Daoist Xu Yi has perished?"

Upon hearing this news of disappearance, Yunxiao's Dao heart, which had remained undisturbed for many years, began to tremble, making it difficult for him to remain calm.

Stone Monkey: "How is that possible? Xu Yi was so good at fighting, how could he have fallen?"

Corpse Immortal Emperor: "Isn't Xu Yi an Immortal Emperor, and close to the Dao of Sacrifice? At this level, unless he wants to die, how could he possibly die?"

The lonely old man Gai Jiuyou said, "Alas, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi went to the plateau in order to break through to the Sacrifice Dao Realm, hoping to break through between life and death, but in the end he failed."

Eastern Wilderness God King Jiang Taixu: "If we weren't running out of time in this realm, Fellow Daoist Xu Yi wouldn't be in such a hurry to break through his cultivation level."

Chapter 408 Return, Pursuit by Ancient Gods

A mysterious, empty space.

This is a mysterious, unknown, and unknowable place, standing alone beyond all the heavens and myriad realms, beyond all the paths of the universe.

This place has existed since the beginning of time, since the birth of all living beings, but only a handful of people have been able to enter it.

Countless years have passed, seemingly tens of thousands, even millions of years. In the midst of infinite chaos, a ray of light slowly ignited in this space.

"I won the bet, I didn't die, and I really made it here."

This ray of light was Xu Yi, who had perished back then. After an unknown period of time, Xu Yi finally revived through his own cultivation and will, successfully entered the sacrificial space, comprehended the boundary between life and death, and ultimately achieved Nirvana.

At this moment, Xu Yi had no physical body and looked like a ball of light, like a firefly in the entire sacrificial space.

"Now, from birth to death, and from death to birth, this is the true essence of the sacrificial path, a complete transcendence into sainthood. However, leaving this space is still a big problem."

Xu Yi discovered that he was disconnected from the Dadao chat group, but not entirely. He could sense the chat group, but he couldn't send messages or see the group members' activities.

Strictly speaking, it's like being disconnected from the internet; the interface can no longer be refreshed.

But it doesn't matter. At his level, the Great Dao Chat Group is probably dispensable. The chat group only makes it more convenient for him to do certain things now.

Immediately, Xu Yi cleared his mind of all distractions and comprehended his own Dao within the sacrificial space, completely entering the sacrificial realm before leaving this place.

This is an inevitable experience for every being on the sacrificial path.

If he really comes out, then there will be no bottleneck in entering the path of sacrifice. With time and cultivation, he will naturally enter this realm.
