Li Chunjun spoke no unnecessary words, simply extending his hand and beckoning.
"Come."
The nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts exchanged glances.
In the next instant, their Mind Power surged and resonated in unison.
The vast mental power from their Nine Great Dharma Manifestations soared skyward, seemingly harmonizing with some grand, cosmic will.
Through this resonance, their collective will began to merge with the World Will of the True Dragon Great World itself!
No!
It wasn't merely a merging of wills!
By using the True Dragon Great World's World Will as a vessel, they not only fused their nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier wills into a single entity but also connected their Dharma Manifestations to the True Dragon Great World, integrating their very power with the world itself.
In this state, any thought that crossed the mind of one of the nine was instantly perceived by the others, who immediately grasped its purpose and significance.
It was as if nine distinct thoughts were swirling within the depths of a single mind.
Furthermore, their combined power could now tap into the entire True Dragon Great World, using the world itself to sustain their Dharma Manifestation power...
Like nine drops of dark ink dissolving into a water tank, their individual strengths became indistinguishable, merging into a unified whole.
They had truly achieved nine minds as one.
They could even draw power from the True Dragon Great World, allowing them to rapidly recover even after their strength was severely depleted.
At that moment, Li Chunjun finally understood why the Great Void Ancestral Dragon had been willing to expose the collective will and world spirituality of the True Dragon Great World just to keep him there.
Only on this battlefield did the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators have a chance to defeat him.
By leveraging the True Dragon Great World's home-field advantage, they could turn the tide.
Rumble!
As Li Chunjun grasped this, the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators used secret arts to merge their nine dharma manifestations into a single entity.
This fused dharma manifestation no longer bore the characteristics of any individual among the nine. Instead, influenced by the True Dragon Great World's World Will, it transformed into a Grand Void Ancestral Dragon.
One cultivator wielded a Quasi-Immortal Artifact to form the head, another used one to create the tail, while others manifested scales, crimson wings, and the dragon's physical form. The final four channeled the power of their Quasi-Immortal Artifacts to forge the dragon's claws.
However, compared to a true Grand Void Ancestral Dragon, this imitation only possessed the combined power of the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators and the True Dragon Great World. It lacked the true authority of dao unification.
Yet, even this imperfect Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect manifested with unprecedented power and majesty.
"ROAR!"
As the Great Void Ancestral Dragon roared skyward, its combat power surged at an unimaginable rate...
1 million! 1.1 million! 1.2 million!
The world pressure amplified by the True Dragon Great World's storms and the combined might of the sun and moon further boosted the already formidable 1.2 million combat power of the Great Void Ancestral Dragon, propelling it to a staggering 1.4 million!
This was unprecedented, far exceeding all expectations.
Forged by nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts harnessing the world power and unleashing its full might, the Great Void Ancestral Dragon tore through the Void with a thunderous roar.
Its colossal ancestral dragon form ripped downward, nine distinct laws swirling across its body in constant flux.
Though seemingly a single strike, the attack contained transformations equivalent to the combined assault of nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts, amplified by the World Will and world power...
Any one of those nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts would likely have their Dharma Manifestation shattered upon contact.
Li Chunjun...
The void divine radiance and destruction divine radiance around him flared violently, leaving nothing in reserve.
Facing this monstrous entity forged from the combined might of nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts and the World Will of the True Dragon Great World, he unleashed his Sovereign Dharma Manifestation, elevating it to the state of a great dao sovereign.
The Heaven-Opening Divine Sword, held aloft, descended with world-shattering force, simultaneously drawing upon the great dao of the void and the great dao of destruction. Its power shook the very foundations of the world as it collided violently with the Great Void Ancestral Dragon, which had torn its way through the fabric of reality.
Buzzing!
At the moment of impact, the world barrier of the True Dragon Great World seemed to freeze for an instant.
In the next instant, a terrifying shockwave erupted from the point of collision, its power not only shattering the laws of reality but also shaking the very foundations of the Grand Dao.
This battle had drawn the attention of countless observers.
Though they couldn't arrive as quickly as the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts and were forced to watch from afar or through the False God Realm, the energy shockwave from the collision reverberated throughout the True Dragon Great World, violently disrupting the great dao light net that spanned the starfield.
Immediately afterward...
The False God Realm, centered around the battlefield, began to collapse and dissipate under the intense disturbance.
High-ranking members of the False God Hall, who had been closely monitoring the battle, immediately noticed that the False God Realm projection of the True Dragon Great World had transformed into a Black Domain.
It was as if a nuclear explosion had caused a city-wide blackout...
Over half of the True Dragon Great World's False God Realm simultaneously experienced a "network outage," cutting off all communication and intelligence from the affected regions.
The scene caused the Dharma Manifestation Realm experts of the False God Hall to gasp in unison.
"To shatter the False God Realm's projection in that area... This level of combat power must exceed even the Supreme Sage and Quasi-Tenth-Tier standards!"
"Dao unification! Only a collision at the Grand Dao level could produce such an effect!" a Supreme Sage declared with certainty.
"A Dao Unification Realm expert intervened? Where did they come from? Is Li Shengsheng backed by a Dao Unification Realm expert who intervened to save him? Who is it? The Profound Yellow Supreme? This Supreme Sovereign hasn't appeared for tens of millions of years, and there's been no news of his reappearance!"
"Even if it was the Profound Yellow Supreme, that's still only one Dao Unification Realm expert. Who's the other one?"
"Who else could it be but the Great Void Ancestral Dragon? Li Shengsheng's earlier slaughter of the dragon kings could be dismissed as retaliation for their offenses against him. But now that he's purged the ancient dragons of the True Dragon Great World, how could the Great Void Ancestral Dragon possibly ignore it?"
"No, if it were a true Dao Unification Realm clash, the Black Domain wouldn't be limited to half the True Dragon Great World's False God Realm. The entire True Dragon Great World would be cut off, and even the surrounding Realm Regions would be affected!"
"You can't be serious. Are you suggesting that the battle between Li Chunjun, Lu Wu, Xu Yu, and the others has reached the Dao Unification Realm?"
The False God Hall buzzed with fervent discussion.
Dharma Manifestations and Supreme Sages debated animatedly.
Though they rarely sought information within the False God Realm, the sheer scale and duration of this epic conflict—spanning several years—combined with their official duties, naturally drew their intense attention.
However, the clamor in the False God Hall had no impact on the raging battle below.
In this clash, even though the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators, wielding the power of the True Dragon Great World, unleashed combat power rivaling 1.4 million units, Li Chunjun activated his Great Dao Sovereign form. Channeling the Grand Dao Power, combined with his Innate Void Dao Physique and Destruction Dao Body, he weathered the assault.
Brilliant divine radiance blazed around him as his Sovereign Dharma Manifestation fully unleashed the might of the great dao of the void and the great dao of destruction. Guided by the Heaven-Opening Divine Sword, he slashed at the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect jointly manifested by the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators.
This terrifying fusion of void and destruction sent shivers down the spines of the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators who had coalesced the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect.
"Not only does he possess the innate void dao physique, but he also has the innate destruction dao physique?! Two great Daos converging within one person?! How can such a monster exist in this world?!"
"I knew it! The innate divine beings recorded in ancient texts were indeed powerful and unmatched, but they were never as overwhelmingly strong as Li Chunjun! His extraordinary power stems from his dual great Daos!"
"A single innate Dao can grant direct entry into dao unification! Yet you alone possess two?! If you don't die, who will?! Li Chunjun, your life is forfeit!"
"Kill him! Then, in this unified nine-in-one state, we'll jointly comprehend and refine his innate divine being!"
Nine distinct wills converged within the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect.
Despite their differing intentions, the final decision remained unchanged.
Driven by the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators, the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect once again brandished its razor-sharp claws, roared with its gaping maw, and unleashed a torrent of dao techniques and destructive forms imbued with the dharma aspect's essence.
Li Chunjun met the onslaught head-on, his sword clashing against the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon in a direct confrontation.
Though he had fully unleashed the power of his Void Dao Body and Destruction Dao Body, he still found himself at a disadvantage against the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, which was not only controlled by nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators but also empowered by the world power of the Great Void Ancestral Dragon.
The advantage conferred by his Life Level made him exceptionally perceptive to other laws.
During his clashes with the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts, he continuously learned from their mastery of the laws, deepening his own understanding.
With these nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier masters, who had pushed the laws to their limits, serving as his elite sparring partners, his growth rate was astonishingly rapid.
Though initially at a disadvantage when the battle erupted, as his comprehension of the laws deepened, he found it increasingly easy to decipher the attack patterns and trajectories of his opponents.
Within an hour of the intensely fierce battle, the situation had gradually evened out.
Li Chunjun's terrifying growth rate and adaptability were quickly noticed by the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts.
"How can he be improving so fast?! Li Chunjun's growth... how can it be progressing at such an insane pace?!"
Visible to the naked eye!
His combat power was visibly increasing!
For these experts, whose strength had long reached its peak and who might spend millennia to gain a mere hundred or two points of combat power, witnessing such rapid growth drove them mad with envy!
And after the madness of envy came a bone-chilling realization.
"No, we can't let this continue. Otherwise... the situation will only tilt further against us! By then... we'll lose!" the Lord of Divine Visage declared grimly.
The consequences of defeat were clear to them all.
"Then what do we do?!"
"What else? We have to use our Secret Arts and risk everything!"
The Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts wore expressions of utmost solemnity.
Meanwhile, Li Chunjun stared intently at the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, now completely fused with the power of the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts. His gaze lingered on the source of this dharma aspect's power—the Great Void Ancestral Dragon itself—and he, too, had come to a realization.
"That Great Void Ancestral Dragon isn't trapped in the Supreme Research Institute as Supreme Sage Wu Chen and the others believe. It must have sensed that I possess both the Void and Destruction Innate Dao Bodies. Now..."
He was almost certain: "It's already heading toward the True Dragon Great World at full speed!"
By entrusting the True Dragon Great World's World Will to the nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier experts, Li Chunjun hadn't placed his faith in them. His true purpose was to buy himself time!
