Alex stepped closer to the golden throne carved with eight dragon heads. His hand reached out casually, dusting away the thin ash and star-stone fragments covering the crevice beneath the feet of the Dragon Emperor's seat of power.There, tucked away, was an ancient golden scroll made from primordial dragon hide. Even though hundreds of years had passed and the Dragon Palace lay in utterly ruined debris, the scroll remained completely unscathed.Alex picked it up and unrolled it. Instantly, lines of golden-blooded characters written with the remnants of the Dragon Soul Law shone brightly, forming a chain of sentences laden with eternal sorrow and despair:"To our daughter... If one day you return to this place and realize that the purest blood of the Primordial Dragon Clan flows within your body... this sight of devastation is the evil doing of the Xiao Clan. However, my child, we beg you... never step forward to seek revenge right now. Wait until the time of great retribution arrives

Even before Alex’s words could truly fade into the air, his figure abruptly vanished completely from everyone’s sight!There was no spatial fluctuation detected, no vortex of energy giving warning. There was only a beam of golden light laced with purple lightning cleaving through the darkness of the Void Realm at a speed surpassing the very concept of time itself."W-What—?!" Ye Ling’s eyes widened severely, his reflexes sweeping his gaze around frantically.Yet before his conscious nerves could even process what was happening—SPLAAAASH—!A rain of thick blood and flesh fragments surged high into the sky!At the right corner of the Executioner Squad’s circular formation, fifty iron-armored warriors at the Middle Earth God realm who had been laughing the loudest moments ago suddenly ground to a dead halt. The sneering expressions were still clearly carved upon their faces, but a thin golden line had been perfectly etched across their necks and waists.CRACK... SLICE!In a single secon

"Crush," Alex hissed softly from below, flicking his fingers in the air.BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM—!The mountain-sized Universe Destroyer Sword descended without the slightest resistance. There was no scene of an evenly matched clash. There was no fierce, prolonged battle. The moment the tip of Alex’s golden giant sword touched the tip of the combined sword of the Sky Hall’s hundreds of Divine Souls, absolute destruction occurred instantly!CRACK... BRAK!The carved death runes and the wailing Divine Souls created by those hundreds of warriors cracked like cheap glass struck by a rock. Within milliseconds, Ye Ling’s proud tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long giant sword shattered into pieces, turning into fragments of red light that dissolved in the air!"W-WHATT-WHAT—?!" hundreds of Executioner warriors shrieked simultaneously.The backlash effect from the shattering of their combined attack hit their Divine Souls without mercy.SPLAAASH! SPLAAASH!"ARGHHHH! ARGHHHHH!"The remaining hundred

A thunderous boom shattered the atmosphere as Alex’s body blurred into phantom images in mid-air. Utilizing the Thousand Lightning Steps, his movement accelerated so drastically that it surpassed the boundaries of ordinary sensory perception.To Ye Tianshan, who was busy parrying the wild slashes of the Universe-Destroying Sword, Alex appeared to split into dozens of lightning shadows weaving in zig-zag patterns around the battlefield. Every footstep he took in the air left behind mini dimensional cracks and roaring sparks of golden electricity."Damn it! What kind of speed is this?!" Ye Tianshan snarled, attempting to split his focus to block Alex.However, the Universe-Destroying Sword seemed to possess a mind and a vendetta of its own. The ancient sword vibrated ever more violently, unleashing thousands of black-gold energy slashes that completely locked Ye Tianshan down, forcing him into absolute defense and leaving him unable to shift even an inch.In a fraction of a nanosecond,

Ye Tianshan's hysterical screams echoed throughout the void. The golden-armored God Soul Manifestation belonging to the God King began to melt, dissolving into millions of wild threads of ancient energy. The excruciating pain of having his soul manifestation severed rippled directly into his primary consciousness, triggering a spiritual shockwave that shattered his nervous system.However, as a battle-hardened God King realm cultivator, his survival instincts responded instantly."Return to source! God Soul, Merge with Body!" Ye Tianshan roared with deep crimson eyes, spurting fresh blood from his mouth.He spread both arms, triggering a mystical restriction to recall the severed pieces of his divine soul manifestation. The sea of golden energy immediately reversed course, surging like thousands of meteors toward Ye Tianshan's chest. If he could draw back his soul essence, the trauma of this spiritual injury could be minimized, keeping his cultivation foundation from permanent ruin.U
