It was just a single step!

But the heavens and the earth were overturned!

The myriad of rays of light that were filled with the energy of the Order of the Heaven Dao rumbled as they collapsed into pieces. They transformed into a violet rain of light that swept towards the surroundings. The entire ‘End of Time’ shook violently, and it shook the hearts of the experts from the Dao Defiant Clans that were constantly paying attention to the situation here.

Could it be that the outcome of the battle is about to be decided?

It was clearly not.

When facing such a situation, the Time Daolord who’d been accumulating strength while waiting to attack had suddenly shouted, and his entire body glowed as he instantly stabilized his Highgod Domain which was trembling violently.

However, his gaze towards Chen Xi didn’t just carry a serious expression, there was even a wisp of surprise, astonishment, and bewilderment in them.

That attack from just now was formed from the energy of the Order of the Heaven Dao which the Light Daolord has utilize his core quintessence energy to draw down, and not to mention a Daolord of the world, even the Time Daolord himself would have to exhaust a great amount of energy to deal with the terrifying might of that attack.

But Chen Xi… had merely taken a single step! And he’d destroyed the Light Daolord’s attack!

Such an unexpected and inconceivable scene caused the Time Daolord to be unable to avoid feeling shock and disbelief.

Pu!

At the same time, the Light Daolord’s body shivered, and he actually couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood. A wisp of astonishment had appeared on his originally dignified face, and he still didn’t really dare to believe that his trump card had actually been destroyed with such ease. Moreover, it had even caused him to suffer backlash!

After taking this step forward, Chen Xi’s imposing aura didn’t become stronger at all, it seemed like an ocean where all rivers converged and his aura seemed to have been cleansed away, causing him to seem even more reserved and restrained.

Merely based on his outward appearance alone, he just had an extraordinary and otherworldly bearing, and he didn’t have even a trace of a strong aura.

However, while he just stood there casually, the aura of Light and Time were actually unable to approach him at all, and they made him seem even more terrifying and mysterious instead.

“Perhaps it can kill me, Chen Xi, if Godsbane Heaven were to attack me with all its strength, but just a portion of its strength is utterly insufficient. Especially when it’s just the energy of Order that’s being utilized by a Spirit formed by Godsbane Heaven, such an attack isn’t worth mentioning at all.” Chen Xi spoke calmly and casually as if he was evaluating the insufficiencies of a junior.

But he was facing the Light Daolord, a terrifying existence who was ranked at the 2nd position amongst the 13 Dao Servants on Godrank Mountain.

In terms of age, he was countless times older than Chen Xi; in terms of his time in the Daolord Realm, it was innumerably longer than Chen Xi.

Now, his strongest attack had actually been casually evaluated as being insufficient, and this caused the Light Daolord’s face to flush red, and he almost spat blood from the rage he experienced. Damnable little bastard! You’re simply… simply… courting death!

However, Chen Xi’s words caused the Time Daolord to feel horrified, and he faintly felt that this Savior wasn’t exaggerating.

After all, could any Daolord throughout the world accomplish what Chen Xi had? Could they singlehandedly resist the joint forces of these two Dao Servants after just advancing into the Daolord Realm?

Or could anyone take just a single step forward and blast apart the Light Daolord’s strongest attack?

Under such circumstances, the two of them would seem to be extremely shortsighted and ignorant if they were to say that Chen Xi was arrogant.

Right when all sorts of thoughts were flashing through the minds of the Time and Light Daolords, Chen Xi suddenly spoke indifferently. “Now, I’ll allow you to experience what true light is like.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Time Daolord’s heart shook, and he faintly sensed a trace of extreme danger.

On the other hand, the Light Daolord started laughing from extreme rage. This fellow actually wants to let me experience the energy of light?

Chen Xi seemed to be completely indifferent to all of this. As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of light had suddenly surged out from within him. That light was clear like glass and even more dazzling than the scorching sun. As soon as it appeared, it instantly surged with extremely vast might.

When looked at from afar, Chen Xi seemed like he’d emerged from light itself and was looking down upon all living beings. 

Shit! The Time Daolord’s pupils constricted as he instinctively circulated his full strength.

At the same time, the Light Daolord who had almost gone mad with rage suddenly revealed a wisp of a dazed expression while his entire body stiffened. Because it really was the aura of light, but he’d never seen such pure, blazing, and divine light!

After all, he was the Light Daolord!

Just this title alone displayed his level of attainment in light. There was no one in the world who could rival him in this Grand Dao!

But at this moment, he’d actually seen an unprecedented form of the energy of light, and he’d sensed an aura of light that caused him to be unable to help but tremble.

How could this be possible?

The Light Daolord was almost unable to maintain his calm and composure because of the impact he suffered from realizing that a little fellow who'd just advanced into the Daolord Realm had bested him at the path which he was most confident and proud in!

Right at this moment, Chen Xi’s voice resounded through the heavens and the earth like the booming rumbling of the Grand Dao and the tune of nature itself. “Eternal night reigns without I in this world!”

Every single word reverberated like thunder which carried an extraordinary aura of the Grand Dao, and when all were spoken together, it was like the Grand Dao throughout the world was rumbling loudly.

These words were simply and direct to the extreme, but they carried an unprecedentedly domineering and arrogant tone.

If I, Chen Xi, ceased to exist in this world, then the ages would be without light and covered in eternal night!

Would any Daolord throughout the world dare to speak such words which were practically a taboo on Godrank Mountain which was enveloped by the Order and Laws of the Heaven Dao?

But Chen Xi dared to do so, and his expression had been calm and composed from the beginning until the end.

Bang!

When these words had just started to be spoken, a wisp of light had appeared on the Light Daolord, and it caused him to feel horrified and uneasy. He roared madly and struggled with the intention of escaping that light. He’d completely lost his dignified and elegant demeanor.

It was like that wisp of light contained a lethal aura that was sufficient to instill despair in him.

When Chen Xi had spoken halfway, the face of the Time Daolord who’d intended to attack ferociously had turned ghastly pale, and it seemed like he was horrified and actually didn’t dare step forward anymore.

When those words were fully spoken, the Light Daolord suddenly let out a miserable, despaired, horrified, resentful, furious, and dazed shrill cry that surged through the surroundings.

His body, flesh, blood, soul, aura…. Everything was vanishing like it was being gradually eliminated, inch by inch, by an invisible hand.

This was the energy of purification that light possessed!

However, even the Light Daolord had probably never imagined that he would actually die at the hands of the energy he was most familiar with….

Swish!

A rain of light descended in the surroundings as the Light Daolord’s entire body was obliterated. Every trace and aura of him had been completely wiped away without leaving a speck behind.

Bang!

The Time Daolord felt his mind drone, and it was like he’d been struck by lightning! He’s dead! The Light Daolord has actually been annihilated just like that!But Chen Xi hasn’t utilized the Sword of Samsara since the beginning! Doesn’t this mean that he’s capable of eliminating us, Dao Servants, even if he doesn’t utilize the Sword of Samsara?

But how exactly did he accomplish this?

After all, all of the Dao Servants had been formed from the energy of the Order of the Heaven Dao on Godrank Mountain, so it was impossible for anyone in this world to kill them!

But Chen Xi had succeeded….

Does this mean that the strength he possesses can even rival the Order of the Heaven Dao?

When he thought up to this point, boundless terror surged like a tsunami into the Time Daolord’s heart.

He didn’t hesitate and practically instinctively turned around and fled.

At practically the exact same moment, his consciousness swept out as he intended to notify the Heavenly Wrath Daolord who was watching from the outside world and seek assistance!

He was very clearly aware that it was probably very difficult for him to avoid the misfortune of being pursued and killed by relying on just his own strength, and he had no choice but to seek help because it was his only chance at survival!

Rumble!

The entire ‘End of Time’ rumbled as it exploded, and it shocked all the Dao Defiants who were watching from afar. All of them moved backward and became extremely vigilant.

Especially when they saw the Time Daolord’s figure flash out from within it. It caused their expressions to change. Could that Savior have been crushed?They didn’t even have the time to recover from their shock when they noticed to their astonishment that the Time Daolord had actually transformed into a wisp of light upon showing himself, and he flashed swiftly towards the distance. His speed was inconceivably swift, and he instantly vanished without a trace.

However, some seniors of the Dao Defiant Clans with greater cultivations had been able to immediately discern that the Time Daolord clearly seemed like he was fleeing in panic!

Could it be….

Right at this moment, Chen Xi’s figure emerged from the divine radiance that covered the sky.

In an instant, the surroundings fell deathly silent!

Since the Time Daolord has fled, then where has the Light Daolord gone? Could he have lost his life?

All the experts of the Dao Defiant Clans were quite dazed. Because this situation was too inconceivable. Never had they expected that Chen Xi, who they thought would very likely be crushed, had actually emerged alive!

The most inconceivable part about all of this was that a terrifying figure like the Time Daolord had actually fled in panic, and even the Light Daolord had vanished without a trace!

What exactly is going on?

As soon as he appeared here, Chen Xi just swept his gaze towards the distance and instantly locked onto the Time Daolord’s fleeing figure, and then a tiny indifferent arc arose on the corners of his mouth.

He didn’t pursue the Time Daolord. However, merely a few breaths of time had passed before an extremely shocked and furious roar resounded from extremely far away. “Dammit! What sort of energy is this? How could it be like this? Why is it like this?”

Surprisingly, it was the Time Daolord’s voice. However, it a strand of terror and despair was growing within it.

The experts from the Dao Defiant Clans couldn’t help but be horrified when they heard this, and their entire bodies felt cold. Because they’d immediately noticed that the Time Daolord’s unusual reaction seemed to be related to Chen Xi!

But… how exactly did he accomplish this?

“Chen Xi! Could it be that you intend to act ruthlessly until the end? All of this was ordered by the Sovereign Sect. Your enemy is the Sovereign Sect!” The Time Daolord’s voice resounded once more, and it was filled with despair. “There’s no enmity between us. It was our mistake this time, and I hope that you’ll give me a chance to make amends for it, so spare my life, alright?”

All the experts of the Dao Defiant Clans were shocked, and their hearts shook incessantly. The Time Daolord has actually admitted his mistakes! He’s actually seeking mercy from a Savior who has just advanced into the Daolord Realm!!

This is simply inconceivable!“Your mistakes can only be atoned with death.” Chen Xi remained standing casually on the spot with his hands behind his back, and his voice was calm, indifferent, and completely without emotion.

After a short moment of silence, the Time Daolord roared in a shrill voice, and then another short while passed before he abandoned all resistance as he seemed to feel that death wasn’t too far away from him. He asked in a frustrated tone. “Can you tell me what exactly this energy is? Why is it able to stop me from leaving? It’s even able to isolate my consciousness from the outside world….”

Chen Xi thought for a moment before he glanced at the surroundings, and then he spoke a few words softly in the end. “This is my Highgod Domain.”
