The great war affected all dimensions, transcending Spacetime.

 

The infinite void collapsed, only to be swiftly reconstructed as if it had undergone a reincarnation, which reshaped both the past and present. Even an Immortal Emperor was unable to discern what their attacks, much less the abilities they used.

 

The creation and annihilation of worlds were nothing more than fleeting thoughts in their minds.

 

Clad in battle armour, Zhou You clashed with Gu Wuwang, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the war situation. The sight painted a radiant smile on her face.

 

“That girl is a promising seedling that holds great potential for the future. How unfortunate that she will fall in this manner. Why do all of you persist with this futile resistance? Your defiance and sacrifice are meaningless in the face of impending death. End your suffering, and surrender to the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. My Civilisation holds undeniable authority in the Boundless Expanse. It is far superior to this Nascent True World. I’m perplexed as to why you insist on protecting this True World.”

 

Zhou You smiled. She was a formidable force within the Immortal Spirit Civilisation. According to the standards of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, she had undergone her Third Spiritual Transformations, akin to a cultivator who had transcended Three Decay Tribulations.

 

Gu Wuwang, having dedicated himself to rigorous cultivation for an extensive period of time, possessed strength that was on par with Zhou You. However, Zhou You had another clansman, Zhuo Hua, supporting her in battle. This put Gu Wuwang at a constant disadvantage.

 

Despite this, completely defeating him proved to be no easy task for Zhou You. In fact, their battle had reached a stalemate.

 

As they bore witness to the devastating consequences of the conflict between the Prosperous Dao True World and the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, Zhou You’s expression remained unchanged, devoid of any distress or sorrow towards the lives that had been lost. In her opinion, the sacrifices of those fallen warriors were worth it as long as they could aid her in acquiring the Immortal Flame Core in the Prosperous Dao True World..

 

Gu Wuwang’s countenance remained remarkably composed, unruffled by any inner turmoil. This left Zhou You rather perplexed, questioning the source of his composure. She could not ascertain whether he possessed the confidence to overcome her, or he was intentionally concealing his true intentions as he did earlier.

 

“There’s no room for regret or redemption for all of you at this point. As I warned, your actions will bring about a devastating catastrophe to your Civilisation and it already has.” Gu Wuwang calmly stated. He raised his hand, summoning a myriad of powerful techniques containing the essence of Dao to counter Zhou You’s Spiritual Light.

 

Her power, seemingly enigmatic and constantly present, nearly invaded his Soul. This was Gu Wuwang’s first encounter with someone from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, and he quickly realized the abilities they possessed were difficult to defend against.

 

Layers of Spiritual Light spread outward like the ripples of the great Dao, causing the surrounding spacetime to silently vanish.

 

“You’re still trying to fool me at this point?” Zhou You scoffed, her disbelief evident in her tone. She shifted her gaze towards the ongoing battle, watching the relentless onslaught of the armies from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation before her eyes finally settled on Gu Xianer. “I wonder how it feels to witness the tragic death of the prodigy of your own world and yet be completely powerless to stop it,” she wondered aloud.

 

Upon hearing her comment, Gu Wuwang’s expression finally changed. Zhou You had expected to see anger or despair on his face but instead, he sneered and mocked her. “Your people have laid a hand on someone beyond their league. It’ll come with dire consequences that none of you will be able to bear. All of you will pay a terrible price,” he calmly stated, seemingly indifferent to Gu Xianer’s well-being.

 

“Oh? You’re still acting tough even now?” Zhou You narrowed her eyes, unimpressed by Gu Wuwang’s threats.

 

“Why bother talking with him? I still firmly believe that we can eliminate him if we work together. Let’s end his life early and locate the Immortal Flame Core. That’s our first priority.” Zhuo Hua reappeared in another distant spacetime with an unpleasant expression. He felt rather humiliated, as he had unintentionally fallen victim to Gu Wuwang’s technique and been banished to a boundless Spacetime.

 

Determined to take revenge, he launched an attack on Gu Wuwang, grabbing hold of an entire universe and hurling it at Gu Wuwang.

 

*Boom!* Chaos set in once again, as the three people clashed against each other. The sheer power of their auras reverberated far and wide. All that could be seen was layers of Spacetime collapsing and shattering. It was as if they were living in both ancient times and future eras all at once. Even the long River of Time could barely withstand such immense energy fluctuations, constantly breaking apart and reforming.

 

The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation brought his palm down upon the battlefield with a nonchalant and disdainful smile on his face. Although he was extremely far away, his overwhelming aura made everyone tremble, their scalp tingling as if on the verge of being ripped apart.

 

With seemingly slow movements, the Immortal Emperor’s palm traversed countless distances in an instant. Every universe caught in its path exploded, leaving no escape for anyone.

 

Gu Xianer stood resolute in the starry sky, her dress fluttering in the air. With blood leaking out of the corner of her mouth, she calmly gazed at the approaching palm. She raised her sword high, then unleashed a radiant beam of light that soared into Heaven, attempting to block the impending doom.

 

Tens of thousands of Sword Qis streaked across the sky like shooting stars, roaring with a terrifying force that could sever the long River of Time itself. Against the might of the Immortal Emperor’s palm, their efforts seemed insignificant. Like smoke against a raging torrent as they dissipated instantaneously.

 

It was no surprise though, as Gu Xianer had only just became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor. She had yet to establish a firm foothold in her current cultivation realm, and the gap between her and a True Immortal Emperor was insurmountable. There was no comparison to be made between them.

 

The big red bird was filled with terror. Under the overwhelming aura of an Immortal Emperor, the entire Spacetime was locked in, leaving no place for it to escape.

 

“I must say, I’m impressed by this girl’s courage. She fearlessly raised her sword to resist an Immortal Emperor…”

 

“It’s a pity that such a stunning girl will be erased from existence.”

 

“It would have been wonderful if we could capture her alive.”

 

The other experts from the Immortal Spirit Civilisation could not help but snicker on the battlefield. Although they were engaged in their own battles, they were also paying close attention to the situation.

 

Some of them, who had been injured by Gu Xianer before, sneered too. “She really doesn’t know her place. Even with heavenly talent, she is still nothing compared to an Immortal Emperor. She’s as feeble as a worm in his presence.”

 

Many experts in the Prosperous Dao True World paled with fear and deep concern. Those who knew Gu Xianer’s true identity could not help but tremble. “This is his Cousin we’re talking about here. I heard that he really dotes on her. If something were to happen to her, the consequences would be disastrous.”

 

*Boom!* As the palm descended slowly, the sky erupted in a violent explosion, dissipating the countless Sword Qis. Although Gu Xianer desperately tried to resist while leaning on her sword, she was sent flying across numerous Star Territories. She coughed up blood and stained her dress. It was dyed vibrant red, like a blooming crimson flower.

 

Gasps echoed throughout the battlefields in the Prosperous Dao True World. Many could not bear to witness it. Anguish and anger appeared on their faces.

 

“Sister…!” On a distant battlefield, Shen Xianer, engaged in her own fight, was consumed with worry. The other Immortal King and Immortal Emperors who were fighting in other Spacetimes, briefly looked at Gu Xianer. Unfortunately, they were unable to spare a moment to rescue her.

 

“Oh, not bad at all. You actually survived. I expected no less of a prodigy who could rise above in desperate situations. You’ve certainly piqued my interest. Unfortunately, that’s all you’ve accomplished. You won’t be so lucky next time!” The Immortal Emperor from Immortal Spirit Civilisation remarked with a faint smile. His tone dripping with mockery and sarcasm, akin to a cat toying with its prey.

 

With a slow and deliberate motion, his palm descended once again, but not with the intention of striking Gu Xianer down. Instead, he wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand and crush her like a small bug.

 

With much difficulty, Gu Xianer managed to stand up in the shattered starry sky, coughing up a few pieces of her internal organs as she did so. Her dress had fully turned crimson red at this point. Blood was trickling from her lips. She remained calm and composed, like a wounded but dignified princess.

 

“Xianer…” the big red bird behind her cried out, worried for her safety. It had managed to avoid the impact earlier, but now, it flew towards her, planning to take the descending palm head-on together.

 

*Rumble!!* The universe trembled once again as if the sky itself was about to collapse and obliterate everything. Fragments of the Great Dao swirled around the Immortal Emperor’s hand. It loomed over the entire universe, with its distinct palm lines clearly visible to those underneath it.

 

Moments before the massive hand grabbed Gu Xianer and crushed her, a green ray of light suddenly pierced through Spacetime, halting its advance. It was a weathered bronze flying boat, with traces of rust that spoke of its age.

 

The slender figure standing on it left many astonished. Her dress fluttered in the wind and her black hair flowed like cascading waterfalls. She bore a striking resemblance to a legendary Goddess, arriving to rescue those in distress.

 

She was none other than Xiao Ruoyin, the former High Priestess of Destiny from the Immortal Palace. She had summoned the Celestial Boat of Creation to block the Immortal Emperor’s attack, intending to create an opportunity to save Gu Xianer.

 

“Hurry up and leave.” she spoke calmly, her gaze shifting to the wounded Gu Xianer.

 

Gu Xianer was slightly taken aback before shaking her head and mumbling, “It’s useless…”

 

She never expected Xiao Ruoyin to appear and come to her rescue. The fact that Xiao Ruoyin would show up at this critical moment truly shocked her. While she knew of Xiao Ruoyin’s existence because of Gu Changge, they had never crossed paths or even spoken to each other. So, for Xiao Ruoyin to appear now was nothing short of astonishing for Gu Xianer.

 

“Oh, another fearless one has appeared? Hmm, what a rare Artifact you have there. Do you truly think you can stop me with that? How amusing.” The Immortal Emperor from Immortal Spirit Civilisation sneered, pausing his attack. After all, this Artifact had the ability to traverse the River of Time without fear of karmic backlash. Its material was so strong that even an Immortal Emperor could not destroy it.

 

However, Xiao Ruoyin was only an Immortal King. She was still very far away from Gu Xianer, so she could not fully utilize the power of the Celestial Boat of Creation to fight against an Immortal Emperor. In other words, it was a futile attempt.

 

“Since you’re already here, you should stay here.” His cold laughter reverberated throughout the universe. With a slight shake of his hand, everything crumbled. Even the Celestial Boat of Creation was forcefully sent flying into the depths of the universe where it disappeared, no longer in Xiao Ruoyin’s control.

 

Xiao Ruoyin’s face paled, and blood leaked out from the corners of her mouth. She had hoped that the divine power of the Celestial Boat of Creation, with its ability to traverse everything and transcend time, would provide her with an opportunity to save Gu Xianer. After all, she was Gu Changge’s Cousin. Xiao Ruoyin simply could not bear to watch Gu Xianer die without doing anything.

 

Unfortunately, she had underestimated the strength of the Immortal Emperor and overestimated her own abilities. She could have been able to save Gu Xianer during her prime, but now, despite recovering her memory, she was far from reaching that level. With the Celestial Boat of Creation no longer in her control, both she and Gu Xianer were left in a precarious situation.

 

Watching the devastating palm drawing nearer, Gu Xianer cast an apologetic glance at Xiao Ruoyin and softly sighed. “Perhaps I have truly made a wrong guess this time…”

 

Unable to comprehend her words, Xiao Ruoyin’s face turned even paler.

 

The big red bird reacted swiftly, flapping its wings and bellowing towards the fragmented universe. “Gu Changge, where the heck are you!? Someone is bullying your Xianer… She’ll die if you don’t show up soon!”

 

Its usually clear and melodious voice boomed like a resounding bell, reverberating in every direction. Although the big red bird’s strength might not be enough to make a significant impact, its voice spread throughout the fragmented universe in an instant, echoing across the other battlefields.

 

“Just what are you shouting!?” Gu Xianer’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment, forgetting her dire current situation. She desperately wished she could grip the beak of that damn bird to silence its shrill cries. [Who is it calling ‘your Xianer’?]

 

Gu Xianer had only made her earlier remark because she thought Gu Changge was still in the Prosperous Dao True World. If he was present, he would have never allowed the Immortal Emperor to kill her. However, the big red bird misunderstood her words. It thought Gu Xianer was risking her life to lure Gu Changge out.

 

The mention of this name immediately shocked many experts in the Prosperous Dao True World, before excitement, hope and anticipation appeared on their faces. The armies of the Immortal Spirit Civilisation, however, failed to grasp the significance of the big red bird’s words. They frowned, unsure of the intention behind the bird’s cries and wondering if it was seeking protection from someone.

 

“Insolence…” The Immortal Emperor also furrowed his brow as his eyes grew even colder. The sheer amount of time he had wasted to crush a puny ant made him question his own identity as an Immortal Emperor.

 

No longer showing any mercy, the terrifying aura of the Immortal Emperor swiftly filled the universe and came crashing down, accompanied by boundless dazzling light. His intention was to entirely obliterate Gu Xianer and Xiao Ruoyin.

 

However, amidst the pitch-black expanse behind Gu Xianer, a radiant shower of light suddenly appeared, illuminating the entire universe in an instant. What was once a faint symbol of Dao had now solidified into a tangible form.

 

A slender young man, dressed in pristine white garments, emerged from the darkness as if he had traversed time and space to arrive at this very moment.

 

“You, plan to harm her?” he asked calmly, yet the entire universe and Spacetime itself seemed to freeze in response. With a mere gesture, the massive hand descending from Heaven instantly exploded.

 

Horror, despair, and disbelief filled the eyes of the Immortal Emperor who was standing at a distance. In a single, thunderous explosion, his entire being disintegrated into a blood mist. Before he could even release a terrified scream, he was reduced to mere ashes, destroyed both body and Soul. Such a shocking scene immediately caused all the battlefields to fall into an eerie silence.
