Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei travel to the collapsing Dark universe, where they find the Jiang Family struggling against a mysterious, destructive power. Jiang Zhao, the family elder, seeks their help. While Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei discuss potential origins and Ye Xuan's prior dealings, the destructive force intensifies, causing the universe itself to collapse. As the Jiang Family's efforts prove futile, a bronze coffin emerges from the chaos, revealed as the source of the devastating power.

At the moment he saw the Bronze Coffin, Ye Xuan’s pupils slightly contracted.

It wasn’t the Myriad World Bronze Coffin.

But then, Ye Xuan’s brow slightly raised.

At first glance, Ye Xuan thought it was the Myriad World Bronze Coffin he had left in Xiling.

But this Bronze Coffin was not that Myriad World Bronze Coffin.

On this Bronze Coffin, there was a twisted force entangled.

The kind of force that was clearly the culprit before!

When the Bronze Coffin appeared, the collapse of this universe became even more terrifying.

Even with the support of many strong cultivators from the Jiang Family, it was still rapidly collapsing.

In the blink of an eye, half of the vast dark universe was already annihilated.

After annihilation, there was endless chaos.

This is the most primitive state of the world.

The appearance of this Bronze Coffin caused the endless chaos to emerge.

"Join me in action!"

At this moment, the Jiang Family Head made a decision, instructing a portion of the Jiang Family cultivators to stop protecting this universe, and instead, with him, attack the Bronze Coffin.

The source of that force was already known now.

Since they couldn’t stop this force from destroying this dark universe, they would cut off the source of this force!

This was the best method they could think of right now.

"’Taixu Emperor Scripture’ — Taixu Qiankun!"

The Jiang Family Head led the spellcasting, and all the elders of the Jiang Family were running the Taixu Qiankun from the ’Taixu Emperor Scripture’.

Boom!

In an instant, vast mana surged.

Several streams of mana converged into a single force, all rushing toward the Bronze Coffin in the center of chaos.

Those mana streams seemed to be alive, forming Qian Kun in the void, attempting to annihilate the Bronze Coffin.

This move, Taixu Qiankun, is a deadly strike in the ’Taixu Emperor Scripture’.

No matter where one is in the void, they can’t escape this move’s annihilation.

Once enveloped by Taixu Qiankun, one will fall into a desperate situation.

Annihilate nothingness, recreate Qian Kun!

However, what happened next shocked the Jiang Family Head and others.

Their supreme strike fell on the Bronze Coffin without causing any disturbance.

It seemed to be directly erased.

Boom—

At the same time, the eerie force on the Bronze Coffin moved again.

Like the beating of a human heart.

A muffled sound echoed.

The entire dark universe instantly shattered into countless fragments.

Chaos invaded.

Boom boom boom—

The Jiang Family Head and others were all hurled back, spilling blood across the sky.

Among them, some elders of the Jiang Family in the Great Sage Realm directly fell.

Fortunately, a nearby strong cultivator lent a hand, preserving their Divine Soul, so they only need to remold their body to regain life.

Yet, this force made everyone on the scene feel true despair.

"We must activate the Emperor Array now!"

"Moreover, bring out the Great Emperor Immortal Soldiers of the ancestors!"

The Jiang Family Head wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes solemn and spoke deeply.

At this point, they had to prepare for the worst.

At this moment, the Jiang Family Head was slightly stunned.

Because he noticed.

In that thoroughly annihilated universe, there were still two figures standing firm.

Ye Xuan, Zhou Youwei!

This surprised the Jiang Family Head.

After all, he was a Fifth Layer Great Saint Realm powerhouse, yet under the shock of that force, he was still injured.

These two individuals remained unscathed, without even retreating a step?

Could it be that these two individuals were both Quasi-Emperors?

The Jiang Family Head felt his heart jump.

Whew!

Jiang Zhao flashed to the Jiang Family Head’s side, his expression also quite solemn, "Are you okay, Grandfather?"

The Jiang Family Head lightly shook his head, always gazing at Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei.

Jiang Zhao saw this and couldn’t help but say, "These two individuals cannot be measured by common sense."

The Jiang Family Head withdrew his gaze, speaking solemnly, "If the Quasi-Emperor Realm can solve it, then you should go to summon the ancestors."

As the oldest Longevity Family, the Jiang Family naturally had peerless experts of the Quasi-Emperor Realm stationed.

However, such level of experts naturally couldn’t be around all the time.

Having lived for so long, many choose to sleep.

Using sleep to face the chopping blade of passing time.

A cultivator’s life is all about resisting the onslaught of time.

Even invincible Great Sages, Great Saints, Quasi-Emperors, and Great Emperors, though claiming to be undying, aren’t truly so.

Through the ages, the only one who has achieved that level is Ye Xuan.

Moreover, Ye Xuan’s achievement is due to that monstrous body.

Just like the current Ye Xuan, even possessing a matchless Taoist Body, in a true life-threatening crisis, who can guarantee Ye Xuan will survive unscathed?

Under the erosion of time, everyone will die.

The cycles of ages start here.

That’s why many peerless experts, upon sensing their twilight years, choose to enter slumber to resist the erosion of time.

Seeking in some ages, the method to live longer.

"Okay!"

Jiang Zhao nodded in agreement.

And at this moment.

In that destroyed universe, Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei stood in the void, directly facing the endless chaos.

Around Ye Xuan swirled Immortal Profound Power, even the chaos couldn’t erode him.

And on Zhou Youwei was an extremely pure power aura.

The power formed by this aura blocked the erosion of chaos.

Neither of them was shaken by the force’s waves, standing firmly in place.

"Together?" Zhou Youwei cheerfully looked at Ye Xuan.

"Alright."

Ye Xuan didn’t waste words, gently nodding.

Boom!

In the next moment, the couple transformed into two Divine Rainbow, crossing the endless chaos, rushing toward the center Bronze Coffin.

That scene made all the people from the Jiang Family outside of chaos feel deeply shocked.

These two individuals were too brave, were they going to feel that force up close?!

"Don’t just stand there, activate the Emperor Array, summon the Emperor Weapon, call the ancestors!"

The Jiang Family Head saw everyone focused on Ye Xuan and Zhou Youwei and couldn’t help but scold.

Everyone snapped back to their duties, beginning to act.

After that dark universe was shattered, chaos continued to spread, and it wouldn’t be long before it would invade.

If no measures were taken, the Jiang Family would really be doomed!

Boom boom boom!

Moments later, a grey-white column of light shot towards the Nine Heavens Cloud from every corner of the Jiang Family’s world.

The Eight Corners, Ninth Level.

Ranked among it.

Each grey-white column of light reached the peak and began connecting actively, forming an invisible Great Formation, shrouding the entire Jiang Family.

At this moment, the invasion of chaos was halted.

Meanwhile.

In the center of the ancestral land of the Jiang Family, a grey ancient cauldron soared into the sky.

At the mouth of the cauldron, an ancient Divine Flame leaped.

Buzz—

Vaguely, a shadowy large hand could be seen supporting beneath the ancient cauldron.

The master of the shadowy large hand was a majestic Emperor’s Shadow.

Though indistinct, one could still feel the terrifying Emperor’s Might.

Without surprise, that was the Emperor’s Shadow of the Jiang Family ancestor, Heavenly Emperor Jiang Yan!
