The Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, maintained by the remaining eight Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators, proved utterly powerless against the tempest cataclysm born from the collapse of the True Dragon Great World.
"Li Chunjun!"
Under the burning gaze of the Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators—the strongest among the Human Race below dao unification—three more energy pulses, radiating world-shattering brilliance, pierced through the depths of the Destructive Torrent unleashed by the tempest cataclysm.
Yet none of these wildly flashing lights could fully tear apart the now-unstoppable tempest cataclysm.
At best, they momentarily cleaved through portions of the cataclysm's power, creating localized voids. But in the next instant, as the Destructive Torrent surged anew, these lights and voids were swiftly extinguished.
Faced with such world-shattering cataclysmic power, the remaining Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators sank into profound despair.
They had never imagined Li Chunjun's strength could reach such heights.
His earlier combat power of 800,000 had already shaken everyone to their core!
Yet even that number, to some extent, remained within the realm of their comprehension, allowing for a degree of mental preparation.
But then, with a combat power of 1,000,000, he had utterly crushed the four dragon kings of the True Dragon Great World, displaying the prowess of someone who might well be the foremost figure below dao unification.
This level of power far surpassed that of any of the Nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators.
Upon receiving this news, the Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators felt a profound sense of helplessness.
An innate divine being...
Even one who had yet to achieve dao unification was born embodying the Grand Dao, wielding powers far beyond the reach of these Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the Great Void Ancestral Dragon stepped forward, granting them a secret art developed by the Supreme Research Institute. This technique could invoke the World Will's blessing, fusing the power of the Nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators into a single entity.
The potency of this secret art was undeniable.
The Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect formed by the Nine Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators saw its combat power surge to an astonishing 1.4 million!
Such power...
It was unprecedented!
In the moment the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect materialized, they briefly believed themselves invincible.
Yet when they finally cornered Li Chunjun, the true extent of his power shattered all their preconceived notions.
1.2 million!
Moreover, by harnessing the power of two Grand Dao Powers, his combat power momentarily spiked to 1.3 million!
Though they initially held the advantage, Li Chunjun displayed the unparalleled learning ability of an innate divine being. With astonishing speed, he adapted to their attack patterns, closing the gap between their combat powers.
The sheer impact of witnessing Li Chunjun's visible growth in power deeply shook every Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivator present.
Even though each of them had been hailed as Peerless Prodigies in their youth, standing before Li Chunjun and witnessing his palpable increase in strength, they felt a sense of helplessness, even despair.
It was precisely this despair that drove them to burn their Qi without hesitation!
Even if it meant sacrificing themselves, they would suppress and refine him!
But the result...
A tempest cataclysm!
Leveraging his innate divine being status, Li Chunjun unleashed a tempest cataclysm with unimaginable speed, nearly shattering ten percent of the True Dragon Great World.
Against such a world-collapsing disaster, no one could withstand it.
Humans can divert rivers, not because they possess the strength to oppose the river's force, but because rivers are inanimate objects. Over time, they can gradually redirect the flow.
The Void operates similarly.
Given enough time, these Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators might have devised methods to destroy an entire Great World.
But when that Great World unleashed its accumulated energy in a single, collapsing surge, even dao unification Dao Venerables couldn't withstand it, let alone mere Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators.
Just like now!
A Destructive Torrent surged forth!
The storm cataclysm's devastation filled the entire Void!
In the region belonging to the True Dragon Great World, mountains, rivers, vegetation, plains, living beings, even the land and the Void itself—all were reduced to dust and crumbled into nothingness before this celestial calamity.
At the storm's core, Quasi-Tenth-Tier cultivators desperately struggled for survival.
"Feilian! Taowu! Will you accept this fate?!"
The Lord of Divine Visage's mental power surged through the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect.
"What does acceptance matter? Or rejection?" Lord Feilian's eyes were filled with bitterness. "We've lost!"
He gazed at the colossal figure dominating his vision and senses. "An innate divine being born from two Grand Daos... This is unprecedented... And we... chose to confront such a monster..."
"At least we can drag him down with us!" The Lord of Divine Visage's eyes burned with madness. "The tempest cataclysm is a force of leveraging the small against the great. He's using his own power to trigger the world's collapse, transforming it into a Destructive Torrent that obliterates all. But the actual force he can wield is limited. If the Torrent's intensity becomes too great, he himself will be consumed by the destruction!"
"You mean..."
"Reverse Secret Art! Corrupt the World Will, disrupt the True Dragon Great World's operational balance, and use the collapse zone created by this storm cataclysm as a starting point to make the entire True Dragon Great World collapse into this void! Annihilate all life within the True Dragon Great World!"
The Lord of Divine Visage stared at the figure within the Void storm. "Let him—let the entire world—be buried with us!"
Lord Feilian's heart trembled.
Corrupt the World Will!
Disrupt the True Dragon Great World's operational balance?!
The reason the Void collapse caused by the storm cataclysm hadn't spread further was because the world itself operated within the great dao light net, possessing self-repairing capabilities.
But if the world's operation were disrupted...
The entire world collapsing into this void was no empty threat!
Beside them, Star Lord Taowu burst into maniacal laughter. "Hahahaha! What are we waiting for?! Li Chunjun, if I can't achieve dao unification, neither will you! Let's all die together!"
His mental power began to burn, inversely permeating the True Dragon Great World's World Will to suppress its ability to maintain the world's normal operation.
As he burned himself to corrupt the World Will and disrupt the world's operation, the scale of the Destructive Torrent unleashed by the tempest cataclysm suddenly expanded.
"Hahaha! Well said! No one can kill me but myself! If you want to kill me, be prepared to die with me! To have a future dao unification innate divine being—an unprecedentedly special one—accompany us in death... what's the harm in dying then?!"
Seeing Star Lord Taowu's actions, Dao Lord Lu Wu immediately followed suit, burning his Heart-Mind.
As the Destructive Torrent's power surged and the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect began to crumble, the Lord of Divine Visage wasted no time, igniting his own Heart-Mind.
"Why must it come to this?!" Lord Feilian, the only one retaining a shred of rationality, cried out. "Must you drag the entire True Dragon Great World down with you?"
"After I die, what do I care if the floodwaters rise to the heavens?!"
The flames born from the Lord of Divine Visage's burning Heart-Mind soared skyward.
With the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect completely shattered, the Quasi-Tenth-Tier Dharma Aspects were now fully exposed to the Destructive Torrent.
Through the Void storm, Lord Feilian sensed the unique life aura within...
"Li Chunjun!" he murmured. "A special divine sage born from the convergence of two Grand Daos... I truly wonder what wonders your future might hold."
He had longed to witness that future.
Alas...
The Destructive Torrent engulfed him.
He would never see it.
Similarly...
Lord Feilian estimated that this extraordinary innate divine being, Li Chunjun, would also...
"Hmm?"
Lord Feilian suddenly froze.
He sensed that Li Chunjun had vanished—completely disappeared from his perception.
But because his "perception" had been focused entirely on Li Chunjun, he knew this disappearance wasn't due to being devoured by the Destructive Torrent unleashed by the tempest cataclysm. Instead...
Li Chunjun had vanished in a way he couldn't comprehend.
The manner of his disappearance...
Leaned toward some form of Grand Dao Power!
Which specific Dao it was, he couldn't discern.
Yet this Grand Dao Power had allowed Li Chunjun to evade the Heart-Mind perception of a Quasi-Tenth-Tier being who had achieved Heart's Perfection and Perfected Laws...
This proved that Li Chunjun could also evade the Destructive Torrent formed by the collapse of the True Dragon Great World.
Therefore, he wouldn't die.
Moreover, if this were true, it meant Li Chunjun possessed a third Grand Dao.
An innate divine being born with three Grand Daos?!
A Supreme Sovereign by birth?!
Among innate divine beings...
Could such miraculous and extraordinary beings truly exist?
"Excellent, excellent," Lord Feilian murmured, genuinely impressed. "My defeat was well-deserved."
In the next instant, the Destructive Torrent surged past, completely annihilating Lord Feilian's form within the storm, leaving no trace behind.
The moment Star Lord Taowu burned his soul and activated the Reverse Secret Art, Li Chunjun sensed an anomaly in the operation of the True Dragon Great World's great dao light net.
After a moment's contemplation, he realized the Quasi-Tenth-Tier beings' objective: a desperate gamble to drag the entire True Dragon Great World down with them, forcing mutual annihilation.
Of course, even with the Secret Arts and authority granted by the Great Void Ancestral Dragon to interfere with the True Dragon Great World's World Will, destroying such a vast world was no easy feat.
At best...
They could expand the scope of the True Dragon Great World's collapse. Moreover, since the storm cataclysm he had triggered was the source of the collapse, all matter and energy would converge toward him. As the epicenter, he would inevitably be overwhelmed by this Destructive Torrent.
But...
After briefly activating his Void Dao Physique, Li Chunjun realized that at his current level, he could easily retreat even if caught in the Destructive Torrent unleashed by the tempest cataclysm.
Especially...
["Killed a Level 40 creature, experience +118,022!"]
["Killed a Level 40 creature, experience +120,215!"]
["Killed a Level 40 creature, experience +61,581!"]
[Life Level: 44 (80,985/4,000,000)]
Even before the Lord of Divine Visage's mental power had completely burned out, his Life Level had already undergone a transformation.
As his Life Level reached 44, the Void Dao Physique finally completed its ultimate evolution, transforming into the theoretically perfect Innate Void Dao Physique, which should have been born in accordance with the Grand Dao.
The moment the Innate Void Dao Physique was conceived, his physical form vanished completely.
He disappeared from every level of existence—aura, laws, the Grand Dao itself, and even the realms of Heart-Mind and soul.
In that instant, he seemed to have truly become one with the void, transitioning from the realm of "existence" to the realm of "non-existence."
