Forty years after acquiring the Supreme Fengshui Magic Core and defeating the Dark Emperor's forces, Gandaph and Ace dealt with a subordinate god of the Blood Fire Dominator. Gandaph collected the subordinate god's divine artifact and the Void Demon Dog, planning to confront the Blood Fire Dominator once he reached the Ten-Ring Senior level. Meanwhile, Levi ventured into the 639th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, capturing a Sea Dragon Emperor and planning to use the Abyss as a training ground for Nora. Another century passed, and a powerful figure named Primordial Demon Lord Xuan appeared in the Astral World.

However, his formidable might clearly outstripped that of ordinary peak experts.

On the path of Chaos, his power was exceptionally potent.

Naturally, within the Energy Sect's lexicon, Chaos was referred to as 'Mixed Element'.

Consequently, the ancient pioneers were also known as 'Mixed Element Ancestors'.

Similar to the Gondor Three Heroes, Xuan possessed both skill and audacity, eschewing conventional military engagement to instead lurk within the astral world's depths, eliminating solitary Gods.

Numerous Subordinate Gods had fallen victim to his blades over the years.

Abruptly, a premonition struck him, and he cast his gaze downward.

"Lord Victor has also ascended to the Sixth Realm of the Energy Sect, the true domain of the Sword Immortal... Soon, this Demon Lord shall finally depart this Universe, where the sky is vast and birds soar with boundless freedom."

...

The Land of Darkness.

The Golden Star Sword Tower, concealed within the Star Ruins, emanated a golden Sword Qi. This locale was once the Rainbow Sea, where the Dusk Spear was forged, and it remained replete with metallic elemental power.

Gandaph and Ace stood with their hands clasped behind their backs atop the wizard tower's highest point.

"A third Level-10 Energy Sect, truly no small feat."

At present, a Level-10 Energy Sect essentially represented a single Mixed Element Ancestor.

While numerous practitioners occupied the ninth level, numbering in the dozens, none had attained Level-10.

The Four Sons of the Energy Sect, for instance, had all reached the Peak Realm.

Yet, a Level-10 practitioner had remained elusive until now.

And now, Lord Victor had established a significant precedent.

Beneath the canopy of golden clouds, Lord Victor's form became a blur, transforming into an immense, unseen Sword Qi that traversed the cosmos, untouched by worldly tribulations, freely navigating the Void.

"Sword Sect Sixth Realm – the Immortal Sword Immortal."

At this juncture, the Sword Sect practitioner's soul, body, and Golden Stone Qi had all coalesced into the nurturing [Qiankun Invisible Sword Qi], embodying the essence of a true immortal god and the Freedom Extreme Intent.

These concepts originated from the theories of the Primordial Demon Lord.

He himself was not a Sword Cultivator, thus he had merely offered them to Lord Victor as a reference.

Unexpectedly, Lord Victor had actually mastered these principles.

Hitherto, Lord Victor's physical defense had been considered a vulnerability.

However, upon entering the realm of the Immortal Sword Immortal, physical defense became a negligible concern.

Lord Victor descended upon the Golden Star Sword Tower, diligently continuing his contemplation of the Sword Immortal's profound mysteries.

His dark hair cascaded over his shoulders, appearing increasingly incongruous with the aesthetic of this universe.

It was as if he had been digitally inserted.

Concurrently, he too perceived this subtle sense of dissonance.

Yet, given his own status as a Legendary Wizard, this feeling was not overwhelming.

"It matters not; once I transcend this Universe, such trivialities will cease to be a concern."

Lord Victor ceased his preoccupation with the matter, rapidly solidifying his cultivation realm.

Gandaph and Ace continued their vigil, acting as his protectors.

Subsequently, the trio refined certain esoteric items for their cultivation practices.

Gandaph had, at this point, already advanced into the Ten-Ring Senior Realm.

Although his current realm was not exceptionally high, the combined might of the three of them was sufficient to effortlessly vanquish top-tier experts, particularly with Lord Victor's dual mastery of Level-10 Energy Sect cultivation and wizardry.

A decade elapsed.

Three distinct figures ascended skyward, vanishing into the void.

...

The Astral World, within the Thousand Hills Countries.

The Blood Fire Divine Domain.

The colossal corpse of an Insect Queen tumbled earthward.

A towering entity, its visage a fearsome crimson, adorned with fangs and wielding a formidable spear, descended and began to consume the Insect Queen's remains with a primal, bloodthirsty hunger, seemingly absorbing its very essence.

Within the Insect Queen's abdominal cavity lay the desiccated husks of several other Gods, resembling insectoid forms.

This Blood Fire entity indiscriminately devoured them all.

The act of consuming one's own kin was, for him, a commonplace occurrence.

Having satiated his hunger, the Blood Fire entity dragged the Insect Queen's carcass into its Divine Kingdom.

He directed his gaze toward the flickering Divine Fire, experiencing a profound sense of weakness unlike any before. He wandered through the now-barren expanse of his Divine Kingdom, eventually ascending to a vantage point above it.

His vast, true divine form loomed majestically against the backdrop of the universe.

The Spear of Blood and Fire was planted firmly beside him.

He assumed a cross-legged posture, awaiting the inevitable.

The once vibrant Divine Domain was now a desolate and bleak wasteland.

Not long thereafter, three figures approached in a triangular formation, their ethereal forms shimmering in the void.

The Blood Fire Dominator's eyes snapped open, a sneer twisting his lips.

"You have arrived."

Ace responded,

"It appears you are prepared... Lord Ares Todel."

The Blood Fire Dominator declared,

"Come forth.

Regardless of the outcome, I shall not falter.

Since the Ancient Era, I have navigated countless tempests, only to be ultimately bested by Sauron. My sole regret is that the Gods displayed undue mercy, failing to eradicate Nora in due time!"

If only time could be rewound.

Through any means necessary, the astral world should have obliterated Nora during the distant Ancient Age.

The Gods themselves believed that had Sauron never existed, this current predicament would not have arisen.

Gandaph let out a hearty laugh,

"What purpose does it serve to annihilate Nora? You pilfered the astral world's fruit, obstructed the path of evolution and wisdom, with the intention of using divine faith to transform the beings of the Multidimensional Plane into caged canaries. However, this will inevitably invite retribution.

Eliminate one Sauron, and thousands will rise in its place.

Destroy one Nora, and countless Noras will emerge.

The eventual downfall of the astral world is a certainty.

No civilization is immortal.

The astral world shall crumble, and so shall Nora!"

The Blood Fire Dominator offered no rebuttal. He rose, spear clutched in hand, aiming it at Gandaph.

"If I can vanquish the Emperor’s three duplicates today, it will be a legendary feat. Come, let me witness the methods of mortals!"

Boom!

Blood, Blazing Fire, War, Slaughter… Over ten innate and acquired God’s Authorities intertwined, conjuring a colossal phantom of a bloody fire monster that scraped the heavens, exuding ferocious arrogance.

Had it not been for the severe damage inflicted upon the Belief Land and the depletion of his divine power, the quantity and quality of these God’s Authorities would undoubtedly have placed him at the Four Emperor Level.

Gandaph clenched his fists. The Ancient God of Chaos materialized, radiating unrestrained pride. The Nightmare Black Dragon, Wild God, Yaksha, and other special spiritual beings comparable to Weak Gods also appeared.

He initiated the assault, unleashing a palm strike downwards.

Buzz! The clouds parted, revealing a palm print spanning a hundred thousand miles.

"Radiant King Heavenly God Palm!"

The bloody fire monster wielded its long spear, thrusting it towards the colossal palm.

Rumble! The earth-shattering collision sent tremors through the Blood Fire Divine Domain.

"Heavenly Craftsmanship!"

Behind Ace, legions of giant soldier phantoms, meticulously forged by skilled artisans, arrayed themselves on the Ice and Fire encircled Taiji Formation. They advanced sequentially, launching attacks at the bloody fire monster.

The Divine Power Barrier blazed intensely, incinerating these giant soldiers.

Yet, the Taiji Formation continued its rotation, perpetually spewing forth more giant soldiers.

A dozen or so specialized Ice and Fire spiritual creatures also converged on the bloody fire monster from all sides.

They harried it like a flock of crows tormenting a dying wild ox.

The bloody fire monster roared in agony, its vast divine power pouring out uncontrollably, burning from within like an engine about to explode, abandoning all restraint.

Lord Victor raised his hand, tracing the Seven Star orbit. Golden miniature swords formed the God Execution Sword Formation, enveloping the Blood Fire Divine Country. The sword formation tightened relentlessly, fragmenting the Divine Country. Occasional Qiankun Invisible Sword Qi streaked back and forth, repeatedly impacting the Divine Power Barrier until its defenses were shattered.

The Gondor Three Heroes united their strength, firmly pinning the Blood Fire Dominator beneath their combined might.

After a decade-long struggle, the Blood Fire Dominator’s divine power was declared exhausted, and his barrier could no longer withstand the onslaught. It collapsed under the impact of the dragon and elephant, while the God Execution Sword Formation tore through his divine body.

Divine blood sprayed across the land, and divine bones splintered.

The Blood Fire Dominator’s form began to distend menacingly, clearly on the verge of self-destruction.

"Radiant King Dingyu!"

At the critical juncture, Gandaph poured all his remaining strength into a devastating palm strike.

With this single blow, space-time became stagnant, immobile as a quagmire.

The Blood Fire Dominator, moving in extreme slow motion, displayed utter despair, passively awaiting his demise.

"Sword Formation Heavenly Star Destruction!"

Lord Victor pointed downwards, transforming the golden miniature sword into a colossal greatsword.

The greatsword descended, causing the stars to dim and all existence to perish.

Boom!

The immense bloody monster disintegrated into countless particles of dust.

Its true soul was annihilated as well, vanishing without a trace.
