A rat-shaped talisman mark appeared on his forehead, and the phantom of the cultivator devoured by Ge Xuan materialized in the cage, with eight remaining consciousnesses simultaneously turning against their host.

The Demon Lord's movements faltered for the first time. Zhao Xuan seized the opportunity to break through the center, his ice crystal gauntlets, condensed from wave energy, continuously bombarding the same spot.

Each punch combined the explosive power of the Dragon Talisman with the divine power of the Ox Talisman. When the ninth punch landed, it blasted a passage through the Demon Lord's chest.

“Got you.” Tentacles made of entwined vertebrae suddenly emerged from Ge Xuan’s shattered chest cavity.

Seventy-two bone spurs attempted to pierce Zhao Xuan's body and extract his waveguide energy. The blood essence's eyeballs collectively turned, and seven hundred and twenty beams of red light focused into a destructive beam.

But at the critical moment, a golden light from the Monkey Talisman, which had never been seen before, suddenly appeared in Zhao Xuan's eyes.

His pierced body turned into an ice sculpture, but his true form emerged from the shadow behind Ge Xuan—the ultimate ethereal form of the snake talisman, capable of concealing even spatial fluctuations.

"It's time to end this." He placed his hands on the back of the Demon Lord's neck, and the power of the wave guide transformed into an absolute zero blue light.

"Hahaha!! You don't have the guts to kill me." Ge Xuan laughed maniacally.

"Oh, so you rely on your recovery ability? Then let's try out my newly acquired ability." Zhao Xuan smiled slightly and said indifferently.

He never used his Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Formation.

He also saved Zong Sha and the others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan formed a hand seal, and the jade twelve zodiac wheel flew through his body, transforming into a wheel that blotted out the sky in just an instant.

"What is this?!" Zhihua, the only survivor, exclaimed in shock.

The moment the jade wheel hovered in the sky, twelve profound runes emerged from the void. The phantoms of the twelve zodiac animals—Rat, Ox, Tiger…—lit up one after another in the star trails, and the entire Blood Prison space emitted a cracking sound as it could not bear the weight.

"Twelve Yuan Chen, reverse Yin and Yang!" Zhao Xuan formed ancient sacrificial hand seals with his hands, and the sundial in the center of the wheel suddenly burst out with brilliant golden light.

The sky, shrouded in blood mist, began to reverse, and the shattered stars reassembled at a visible speed. Fine fragments of time crystals seeped from the pierced wound on Ge Xuan's chest.

The demonic figure behind Ge Xuan, its frantically activated bone spur tentacles, suddenly froze in mid-air, and its spine, wrapped in the laws of death, began to retract eerily.

Seven hundred and twenty blood-red eyeballs burst one after another, the bursting red light resembling a reversed image, then recombine into a scarlet beam that returned to the depths of the pupils.

"The laws of time?! That's impossible!" Ge Xuan roared hoarsely from his shattered throat, dark purple demonic runes struggling and crawling under his skin.

However, the twelve zodiac phantoms had already formed a chaotic chain, with the Dragon carrying the sun and swimming in the sky, and the Sheep swooping down under the moonlight. The twelve primordial laws were woven into a cage that trapped the heavens.

A chaotic mark, fused with twelve talismans, appeared between Zhao Xuan's brows. He pointed his fingertip at the core of the roulette wheel: "Use the Rat to rewind time, the Tiger to guard the soul, and the Rabbit to reshape the physical body—"

Suddenly, the roulette wheel split into eight jade-colored beams of light, which precisely pierced into the remaining bits of flesh and blood of Zong Sha and the others.

"This is time reversal!!" At the edge of the battlefield, Zhihua saw thousands of fireflies rising from Li Jingling's shattered corpse. The fragments of souls that had dissipated in the blood mist were re-coalescing along the trajectory of the Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array.

The phantom of the Snake coiled around Jin Huan's charred body, while the Horse of Noon strode across Yan Feng's shattered dantian amidst the flames of Nirvana. The boundless vitality caused the withered spiritual root to sprout anew.

"No!!" Ge Xuan roared in despair as the thousands of illusory cultivators he had devoured were breaking free of their restraints. The rooster illusory figure stretched its neck and crowed, and cracks suddenly appeared on the rat talisman mark on the Demon Lord's forehead. The eight remaining consciousnesses that had been devoured transformed into streams of light and rushed towards the wheel.

Zhao Xuan's eyes flashed with golden light: "The Pig returns to its place, cause and effect cycle!" The roulette wheel suddenly magnified a hundredfold, and the flow of time in the entire Blood Prison space began to reverse wildly.

Ge Xuan's demonic body, starting with the penetrating wound in his chest, saw his flesh and bones peel away piece by piece in the torrent of time, like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser.

"I am immortal and indestructible..." The demonic figure behind Ge Xuan roared, gathering its last demonic energy, and seventy-two bone spikes pierced through the space-time barrier and stabbed towards the wheel.

However, the phantom of Shenhou suddenly transformed into countless forms, with each bone spur frozen at a different time rift—some were sprouting new shoots, while others had already rusted and decayed.

As the phantom of the Dog swallowed the last ray of twilight, the entire formation erupted with a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering light.

"Awooo!!! Hiss!! Roar!! Squeak!! Woof..."

The twelve zodiac animals simultaneously roared to the sky, and the phantom of the River of Time appeared above their heads. Zhihua saw Zongsha's primordial spirit leap out of the river unharmed three days ago, Zuo Xiao's dissipated sword intent flowed back seven days ago, and Yan Jin's meridians, destroyed by demonic fire, were being rebuilt from the depths of time.

“It’s over.” Zhao Xuan pressed his hands together, and the roulette wheel slowly spun, carrying an aura of ancient vicissitudes. Ge Xuan’s remaining head emitted a crisp sound like porcelain shattering, and from each crack, silvery dust of time welled up.

When the phantom of the Rat appeared, the Demon Lord Ge Xuan finally vanished completely from the world.

The Heaven-Covering Wheel gradually blurred, and the twelve zodiac animal phantoms transformed into streams of light and entered Zhao Xuan's body. The Blood Prison Space dissipated like the receding tide, revealing the true starry sky outside.

Zong Sha trembled as he touched his undamaged chest, while Jin Huan stared in disbelief at the lightning dancing in his palm. Eight figures, carrying the echoes of time and space, stood frozen beneath the starlight.

"I'm alive!!"

"What happened!?"

"I'm resurrected?!"

"Who saved us!?"

Yan Feng and the others all said incredulously.

They had just been drained of 573 units of power and died, which left them all with lingering fear.

Zhihua stared at everything in a daze. She hadn't expected Zhao Xuan to be so powerful, even knowing the laws of time.

Are all people from other worlds this strong?!

Looking at Zhao Xuan floating in the sky, her beautiful eyes held a strange expression.

As dawn broke in the eastern sky, the jade-like stardust remaining from the Twelve Yuan Chen Grand Array still swirled in the air. Zhao Xuan gazed at the shock in the eyes of the reborn Zong Sha and the others, a faint smile playing on his lips.

In the morning light, a kind of timeless, space-time-transcendent law subtly spread, foreshadowing that this extraordinary feat of reversing life and death would inevitably trigger even deeper ripples of cause and effect...

"Boom!!" Suddenly, lightning flashed, and a pair of eyes that blotted out the sky appeared in the void.

The dome exploded with a deafening roar, and countless streaks of purple-gold lightning intertwined to form double pupils. Each pupil reflected the birth and death of the world, and the eyelashes were actually shattered stars bound by chains of laws.

The primordial energy seeped from the void rifts, condensing into liquid thunderous magma that poured down like a celestial river bursting its banks.

"This is the Heavenly Tribulation Eye?!" Zhihua's seven orifices oozed pale golden blood as she saw her protective aura at the Nascent Soul stage disintegrating in units of Dao traces.

The newly reforged immortal sword Cangming in Zong Sha's hand broke inch by inch in its scabbard, and everyone's dantian and dantian simultaneously erupted with a surge of true essence.

Chapter 278 Zhihua's Shock

"Buzz!!"

Those eyes, spanning the thirty-three heavens, slowly turned, with innate Dao patterns floating on their irises.

As far as the eye can see, the folds of space unfold on their own, forming a hexagram.

"Click——"

The illusory image of the Twelve Yuan Chen Wheel suddenly became covered with cracks, and blood light burst forth from the chaotic mark between Zhao Xuan's eyebrows.

Silver sand of time seeped from his pores, but it solidified into eternal amber the instant it touched the gaze of the Heavenly Dao—a time freeze that transcended dimensions.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

Nine illusory bronze bells appeared amidst the lightning, each chime causing the star field to collapse by three inches. Yan Feng spat out blood mixed with ice crystals and found his body trembling uncontrollably.

Suddenly, a chaotic vortex cracked open at the center of the Eye of Heaven.

Deep within the vortex, it coalesced into translucent fingers. The knuckles, entwined with the annihilation storm of the world's destruction, slowly pressed towards the Twelve Elemental Wheels.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan formed a hand seal and shouted, "Retract it!"

If this were to break his zodiac wheel, he would be devastated.

So let's take the zodiac roulette wheel back first.

Since it's an attack from the Heavenly Dao, isn't there a powerful figure involved?

After the zodiac wheel returned to Zhao Xuan's body, an even more profound aura began to spread, and the enormous hand that blotted out the sky turned to ashes as if it had been worn away by time.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan exclaimed happily, "Boss, you've finally arrived!"

At the same time, he looked into the void.

"Om!!"

The void suddenly cracked open, revealing a chasm billions of light-years wide, and chaotic gales swept out, carrying with them collapsing star fields. One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred innate purple divine lightning bolts intertwined to form the Heavenly Throne, each lightning pattern engraved with the primordial Dao rhythm from before the creation of the world.

Zhihua and the others unconsciously knelt down.

Under the influence of the Daoist energy, countless cracks appeared. The moment the zither string snapped, she heard a mournful cry echoing throughout the three thousand worlds.

"How is this possible?!?!"

"Why are there two Heavenly Daos?!"

"Has the world gone mad?!"

Zhihua and the others struggled to lift their heads and said in disbelief.

"This is... a battle for the Dao!" The newly reforged immortal sword Cangming in Zong Sha's hand shattered inch by inch, and the sword spirit let out a mournful cry.

He was horrified to discover that his sword intent was collapsing, and the foundation of his Dao, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years, was crumbling like a sandcastle—it turned out that under the watchful eye of the Heavenly Dao, even the laws themselves were being reconstructed!

Within the void rift, the Eye of Heavenly Dao of the Main World finally revealed itself in its entirety. It was a double pupil formed from the collapse of countless galaxies, each iris pattern a galaxy flowing with primordial purple energy.

The eyelashes were woven from shattered planes intertwined with causal threads, and in the blink of an eye, countless small worlds cycled through annihilation and rebirth. The aura emanating from the opening and closing of the eyes caused Cang Yuan Tu's Heavenly Tribulation Eye to tremble and retreat thirty thousand miles!

"boom--"

Simultaneously, thunderous sounds of returning to nothingness resounded across the thirty-three heavens, and nine thousand chaotic chains appeared beneath the Heavenly Throne of the Main World.

Each chain connects the Netherworld and the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the sparks that fly when the chains collide are actually miniature universes burning with the flames of civilization!

The Xuanhuang Thunder Essence condensed by the Heavenly Tribulation Eye of Cangyuan Tu suddenly reversed, and the phantom images of 720 blood essence eyeballs flickered uncertainly in the double pupils.

The finger that was carrying the storm of the Return to Nothingness froze in mid-air, and the chains of law wrapped around it began to collapse in reverse—every wrinkle on the knuckles was seeping out the essence of the Dao, which was a sign of the damage to the original source of the Heavenly Dao!

"Crack!"

Just then, the Twelve Yuan Chen Wheel suddenly burst forth with chaotic clear light, and the mark between Zhao Xuan's eyebrows transformed into a pillar of light reaching the sky.

A diagram composed of 129,600 planes emerged from the depths of the Heavenly Eye of the Main World, with a zodiac wheel phantom magnified billions of times at the center of the diagram!

"Ah!!" Zhihua suddenly screamed as she saw her left arm becoming ethereal.

It's not that it dissipates, but rather that its very existence is negated by the laws of a higher dimension—like the outline of a figure in a painting being erased by an eraser.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuan cursed inwardly, "Idiot!"

Such beings are also something she can see.

"Settle." However, those who need to be saved still need to be saved. Zhao Xuan raised his hand and tapped lightly, and twelve jade-colored halos protected everyone.

The halo was filled with the phantom images of the Rat Devouring Time and the Dragon Suppressing the Sea, and it actually supported an independent space-time under the pressure of the two Heavenly Daos.

Although his Zodiac Wheel was used by the Heavenly Dao of the Main World, he could still mobilize the power within the wheel.

"Ah!!" Cang Yuan Tu's Heavenly Tribulation Eye finally let out a mournful cry, and spiderweb-like cracks exploded on the surface of its double pupils.

Those pupils that reflected the birth and death of the world burst one after another, and the purple-gold lightning, like fleeing silver snakes, darted back into the void rifts. The pouring primordial energy suddenly froze, then transformed into countless stardust fragments that flowed back into the shattered dome.

Seventy-two chaotic inscriptions descended from the Eye of Heaven in the main world, each inscription crushing the eternal blue sky.

The finger formed by the Heavenly Dao of Cang Yuan Tu exploded with a bang. The moment the Gui Xu Storm was swallowed by the inscription, everyone heard a crisp sound like porcelain shattering from the depths of the universe—that was the Heavenly Dao of this world severing its own foundation!

“No…this is impossible…” Zhihua slumped down among the star remains, her natal golden core covered with Dao wounds and cracks.

She saw that the sky of Cangyuan Tu was fading, like an ink painting being diluted by water, and the double pupils of the Heavenly Dao of the main world had replaced the sun, moon and stars.

Zhao Xuan stepped through the ripples of time and space toward the void rift, each step supported by a phantom image of a zodiac animal.

When he reached out and touched the Heavenly Throne, the entire Cangyuan Diagram trembled violently, and all the cultivators heard the Great Dao's mournful cry at the same time—it was the Heavenly Dao of this world trembling in fear!

"That's about enough. This world can't collapse." Zhao Xuan chuckled and withdrew his hand, the Heavenly Dao Eye of the Main World slowly closing. The collapsed star field expanded again, and the shattered chains of law sank into the void.

When the last wisp of chaotic wind dissipated, the sky of Cangyuan Tu was completely restored, but the star map of the twelve zodiac animals (Li Zhaohao) was forever engraved on the bright moon.

In just a moment, all the strange phenomena disappeared, leaving only Zhao Xuan and his group, as if nothing had happened.

Zong Sha trembled as he picked up the fragments of the Cangming Sword, discovering that each broken blade reflected a version of himself from different times and spaces. Yan Feng suddenly screamed, clutching her chest, her body still trembling as she watched all this.

"Who...who exactly are you..." Zhihua swallowed the golden blood with difficulty, her beautiful eyes reflecting the mysterious aura flowing around the young man.

She hadn't expected that the young man before her had such a profound background, that even the Heavenly Dao of one world needed to help him from another.

Zhao Xuan turned to look at the reborn crowd, the golden light in his eyes gradually subsiding, and said calmly, "As for me, I'm just a passerby."

Chapter 279 Memories of the Future

If he hadn't been tricked by the Heavenly Dao of the God-Slaying World, he wouldn't have been able to come to this world.

So, saying he was just a passerby is not wrong at all.
