Li Chen unleashes his ultimate divine skill, but it's only enough to neutralize one of Shang's fingers. His divine sword, Red Moon, is also damaged and depleted. As Shang prepares another attack, Li Chen resigns himself to death, lamenting his inability to see his family again. Suddenly, a middle-aged man appears, shielding Li Chen and revealing his intention to sacrifice himself. He is joined by Ye Zhiqiu, who also chooses to die with him. The man then unleashes a powerful divine skill named Eternal Existence, using a sword and shield as phantoms, to confront Shang.

In his early years, Li Changcun was not called Li Changcun.

It was only after he stepped into the true world of cultivators that Li Changcun renamed himself Changcun.

Because his goals were vast, his chosen name was also grand.

At that time, still considered young and reckless, he chose the name Changcun for himself.

Implying his desire to endure through the ages, and not just alone, he sought for his family to endure alongside him.

Unfortunately, reality delivered him a severe blow.

When he brought his wife and children to that higher stage known as the Heaven Realm, he encountered the most severe setback of his life.

This setback almost rendered him unable to rise again.

It was precisely because of this setback that he resolved to enter the Borderland Realm, which was almost a point of no return for many at the time.

In the Borderland Realm, Li Changcun gradually gained ground, making his name known throughout the Heaven Realm.

Mad Heavenly King, Mad Celestial Sovereign, and even the yet unknown... Mad Ancestor.

Everyone heard of his incredible reputation, and everyone saw his valiant prowess in battle.

Yet no one knew what kind of pain he bore on his own beneath such a reputation.

Not even his children knew.

Beneath that undefeated exterior lurked a suffocating despair.

Regarding the Heaven Extinguishing Palace matters, he neither spoke of them nor dared, fearing Shang would harm Ye Zhiqiu, and fearing the people of Heaven Extinguishing Palace might harm his children, thus, this secret remained buried within his heart, known by no one.

Until he saw that Li Chen had truly grown, becoming a powerhouse capable of standing alone, and his children no longer needed him to worry, he finally resolved to embark on this destined path of no return.

He no longer considered the outcome.

Not that he couldn’t cultivate to Dao Saint level, nor wait until Li Chen achieved Dao Saint status to come to the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

Rather, he... truly couldn’t endure any longer.

When despair reached a critical point, not only his Dao treaded upon despair, but even he himself would immerse in this terrifying despair, unable to emerge again.

Moreover, knowing his wife was silently enduring pain alone, how could he continue cultivating at ease?

Throughout these years, no one knew how many times Li Changcun nearly succumbed to demonization.

Now, he finally couldn’t bear it any longer.

He no longer wished to endure.

"If I must die, then so be it, dying with you is still a blessing," Li Changcun looked at his wife beside him, showing a gentle smile: "But, I’ve implicated you. In this life, I owe you beyond repayment."

"If there’s a chance, I’ll make it up to you in the next life, or the life after."

Ye Zhiqiu also wore an exceedingly gentle smile, calmly looking at her husband, the two faced the impending death with tranquility, without a hint of panic.

Even though they both knew they would have no next life.

"Divine Skill – Changcun."

A bright ripple centered on the two of them, radiating towards all directions.

When this ripple touched that shocking finger, even though it represented the terrifying might of Dao Saint’s absolute authority, it was abruptly halted, unable to advance an inch.

Not only unable to advance, but that enormous finger kept retreating.

Under the ripple’s approach, ultimately, that gigantic finger was shattered by the dazzling ripple!

"Boom!!!"

Like heaven collapsing and earth shattering.

When the finger collapsed once more, the whole space suddenly cracked open.

The first time the finger was smashed, it was due to Li Chen’s intent to perish together, deploying Wind and Rain Ending Spring and Autumn in a desperate struggle.

While this second time, it was shattered by the joint strike "Changcun" from Li Changcun and his wife.

All the Ancient Ancestors gazed in disbelief at this scene.

Dao Saint, wasn’t it supposed to represent absolute invincible power?

How could it be smashed twice so quickly?

Moreover, they could see, after shattering the finger, the ripple had not stopped, its remaining power continued to shock Shang.

Even as a Dao Saint, Shang’s face revealed a grave look at this moment.

For he clearly perceived this strike’s power, likely even more terrifying than Li Chen’s desperate struggle!

Because, this Divine Skill was sentient!

Its spirit, precisely two Universe’s Supreme Treasures born from the Chaotic Era!

Most crucially, Supreme Treasures are indestructible; even if temporarily shattered, they can regroup and revive over time.

This also implies this Divine Skill contains perpetually inexhaustible, nearly eternal power!

Perhaps this was why Li Changcun named this Divine Skill "Changcun".

"Boundless Taoist Magic!"

Shaking his sleeves, Shang’s robe violently billowed, simultaneously, terrifying aura made all surrounding Ancient Ancestors tremble, attempting to block this dreadful Divine Skill strike.

Yet evidently, this was futile.

His power surged, yet the power of Changcun’s Divine Skill did not cease.

The ’eternal’ power of Supreme Treasures was displayed to the fullest within this Divine Skill.

Unless an overwhelmingly superior force utterly destroys it in one go, otherwise, the power of this Divine Skill is limitless.

And Shang evidently lacked such power.

As the Divine Skill drew nearer, Shang’s expression grew increasingly unsightly.

No matter how he tried to surge his strength to disperse the colorful ripple, he could only slow its advance.

Yet this ripple inevitably approached him.

"Damn it! Damn it, how is this possible?!" Shang’s expression twisted for the first time, as he realized things were spiraling out of his control.

As a conglomeration of hundreds of powerful Doomsday Beast Souls, forcefully occupying the body of a Dao Saint, how could anyone in this cosmos be his match?

If anyone were, it should only be a Dao Saint of the same level.

But now, he had been humiliated by a few from Heaven and Earth Realm.

And repeatedly! Again and again!

"No...no!! You all...damn you!!"

Amid Shang’s roar, the ripple ultimately expanded continuously, engulfing him within.

Simultaneously, the terrifying power finally coalesced, erupting suddenly.

A series of deafening booms echoed from the Heaven Extinguishing Palace’s space.

Finally, the entire space collapsed with a crash.

Starry Universe, Eight Directions Star.

The whole planet suddenly resonated with terrifying booms, everyone heard this sound akin to heavenly majesty.

On Eight Directions Star, countless living beings bewilderedly lifted their heads, gazing at the firmament above.

Among them, the domain where Bottomless Abyss was located stood out most prominently.

On this day, all those of the Heavenly Domain couldn’t forget the sight appearing upon the firmament.
