Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"Thump!"

This collision, however, was completely different from the previous ones.

On Jiang Hao's palm strike, the chaotic energy suddenly contracted and condensed into a single point, like the singularity before the Big Bang, containing unimaginable explosive power.

The opponent's palm strike, powerful enough to obliterate stars, seemed to encounter its nemesis the instant it touched this singularity.

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, the palm of the Supreme Being's figure twisted and deformed strangely, and then the entire arm exploded.

Beneath it lay withered skin, shimmering with dark gold runes, now covered in cracks from which dark red blood seeped.

His body trembled violently, and he involuntarily took half a step back, his breathing becoming disordered for a moment.

In contrast, Jiang Hao, although his body also swayed violently and his face was pale, managed to stand firmly without any new injuries.

"This...how is this possible?"

The prodigies from all realms who were closely monitoring the battle fell silent.

"He's only cultivated for five hundred years, and to have survived the Immortal Tribulation is already defying the heavens. How could he, severely injured, possibly repel a Supreme Being from a Forbidden Zone?"

"Perverted, he's a monster!"

A quasi-emperor from the Dragon Realm murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock.

"We have cultivated diligently for thousands of years, yet we cannot even catch a glimpse of its back..."

"The Chaos Body... is it really that powerful?"

One of the prodigies clenched his fists, feeling an unprecedented pressure, but his fighting spirit burned even brighter in his eyes.

"Is that all you're capable of?"

Jiang Hao's tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm.

"Show me something real, old man. Or have you been asleep for so long that you've forgotten even your most treasured possessions?"

Upon hearing this, the aura around that figure surged violently, and a calm yet cold voice rang out.

"Want to see my Dao and Dharma? Very well, I will show you what the eternally existing Dharma truly is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the chaotic energy surrounding him receded like a tide, revealing his true form.

It was a man dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, his face remained that of a middle-aged man, with black hair like clouds, but his pupils were an eerie gray color, indifferent and ruthless.

He was not human, and his aura was ancient.

Most striking of all was the wheel he held in his hand, made of an unknown black divine metal. The wheel slowly turned, as if depicting the birth and death of the world.

"The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, it's actually you."

Jiang Hao recognized the man's identity.

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, one of the Nine Celestial Venerables of the Mythical Era, was also the creator of the Nine Secrets of the Mythical Era, truly touching upon the supreme existence of the Dharma of Nirvana.

"Heh heh, after all these ages, there are still people who can recognize me at a glance."

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana spoke in a calm tone, but a barely perceptible ripple flickered deep within his dark eyes.

He has lived for so long, through mythology, ancient times, and even to the present day.

At this moment, all the powerful figures watching from all corners of the universe were deeply shocked.

"The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana, the being who controlled the end in the mythological era, he actually didn't die and has survived to this day?"

"My God, this is an ancient Celestial Venerable from the mythological era!"

"His emergence at this time is aimed directly at Jiang Hao... Yes, the Chaos Body, the source of all paths, has infinite potential, and is the most ideal resource for the continuation of an ancient existence like him."

As Jiang Hao listened to the exclamations and whispers from those strangers on the edge of the universe who so accurately revealed the origins and purpose of the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation, he couldn't help but feel speechless.

These bystanders, whether in terms of experience or intelligence, sometimes have a more comprehensive understanding than some of the participants themselves.

It's quite amazing that he could guess almost exactly what the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana intended.

However, this thought quickly passed by, after all, he had gotten used to it over the years.

Jiang Hao took a deep breath, his fighting spirit rising once again.

Facing this Celestial Venerable of the mythical era, the source of the Great Dao of Annihilation, he knew that this would be a more perilous ordeal than the tribulation of lightning on his path to enlightenment.

"The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana..."

The Chaos Heavenly Blade in Jiang Hao's hand rang out, surrounded by chaotic energy.

"If you want my Chaos Body, let's see if you have the ability to take it. But you definitely don't."

"Your courage is commendable, but your fate was already predetermined by time."

The Celestial Venerable of Nirvana had calm, gray eyes and slowly raised the hand that held the black roulette wheel.

He did not immediately launch a full-scale attack, but instead chanted an ancient incantation. His voice was not loud, but it seemed to be able to penetrate through countless ages and echo across the desolate edge of the entire universe.

"All things return to nothingness, all beings perish, the universe comes to an end, obey my decree."

In an instant, the scene around Jiang Hao changed dramatically.

An endless scene of desolation and ruin emerged; stars withered, galaxies dimmed, and the universe seemed to have reached the end of its lifespan.

A power capable of annihilating all laws spread out, threatening to drag Jiang Hao and his Dao principles into eternal silence.

"Hmph, annihilation? Before my Chaos, it's nothing more than a cycle of reincarnation!"

Jiang Hao coldly shouted, and his Chaos Body roared, resonating with all the Dao, forcibly calming his boiling blood and restless Dao.

He stretched out his arms, his palms glowing brilliantly, and the chaotic energy transformed into a torrent of creation and destruction.

"Break it!"

He clasped his hands together and slashed forward fiercely, unleashing a chaotic blade aura that seemed capable of recreating the universe.

Where the blade's energy passed, the desolate and broken place seemed to have met its nemesis, quickly melting and collapsing!

The eerie power of annihilation was forcibly torn apart and dispelled.

"Not bad."

Seeing this, the Celestial Venerable of Nirvana remained calm in his tone, but his hands continued to move.

The black roulette wheel suddenly enlarged, and from its center burst forth darkness that devoured all light—the law of annihilation condensed to its extreme.

A gray sea surged forth, a sea of ​​annihilation capable of eroding all things and ending everything.

At the same time, he let out a low growl and gazed at some desolate place on the edge of the universe.

Strands of shattered cosmic origins rose into the sky from somewhere in the desolate wilderness, traversing the boundless starry sky, and instantly disappeared into this battlefield, merging with the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

"The source energy of annihilation?"

Jiang Hao's gaze sharpened as he recognized the eerie aura that was triggering the end-of-the-world phenomenon.

Even the Supreme Being is unwilling to easily come into contact with this thing, as it may erode the foundation of one's Dao or even cause the decline of one's own Great Dao.

The Sea of ​​Annihilation, now infused with the Origin Qi of Annihilation, seemed to possess a soul. Its surging waves threatened to engulf Jiang Hao, erode his imperial body, and obliterate his Great Dao.

"My body is chaos itself, and annihilation is also a part of me; how can you erase me?"

Jiang Hao roared, and the Chaos Heavenly Blade hung high above his head, with thousands of strands of chaotic energy descending to protect him.

His extraordinary phenomena unfolded, merging with his own Chaos Dao, transforming into a hazy chaotic world to resist the erosion of the Sea of ​​Annihilation.

He kept wielding his sword, using the Chaos Emperor's Palm to forcefully clash with the utterly annihilating laws erupting from the black wheel.

The force of his palm collided with the light of the roulette wheel, piercing through the starry sky and turning this desolate land into a furnace of destruction.

"boom!"

After a violent collision, the Celestial Venerable of Annihilation swayed slightly, a trickle of dark red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. A ripple finally appeared in his gray pupils—a shock at Jiang Hao's combat prowess.

"I never imagined that, despite not conforming to the will of Heaven, you could have elevated the Path of Chaos to such a level..."

He wiped away the blood, his tone no longer entirely calm.

Jiang Hao's strength exceeded his initial expectations; he possessed such combat power even while severely injured and not yet having fully attained enlightenment.

The potential of this chaotic entity is nothing short of heaven-defying.
