[Life Level: 40 (151/1,000,000)]
"Storm!"
Li Chunjun uttered no further words.
His dharma aspect transformed into a Void Storm, a cosmic cataclysm that devoured all in its path. Roaring like a sudden celestial disaster, it surged with the force of thunder, targeting the fifty-nine great dharma aspects of the Wu Ji Sect that were closing in to surround him.
Yuan Shaoyang and the others still perceived Li Chunjun's Void Storm Dharma Aspect through the lens of their repeated clashes over the past two days.
Both sides had claimed victories and suffered losses.
Overall, their fifty-nine-man Battle Formation still held the upper hand.
Though Yuan Shaoyang and Long Xingyu noticed that this Void Storm seemed more violent than previous iterations, they assumed it was simply because Li Chunjun was now revealing his true strength, holding nothing back.
Thus, Yuan Shaoyang, leading the charge, channeled the Battle Formation's power. He manifested his Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect, simulating the form of an Innate Divine Being, as the vanguard—a sword forged to cleave through the Void and reshape Chaos. This blade sought to shatter the Void Storm Dharma Aspect and reshape the cosmos in its wake.
Seizing the moment the Void Storm Dharma Aspect shattered, Long Xingyu channeled his power through his own Dharma Aspect, striking directly at Li Chunjun. With a meticulously planned strike, he unleashed his full force, aiming to secure a decisive victory.
However, Li Chunjun's earlier claim of a "breakthrough" proved to be no empty boast.
Having ascended to Life Level 40, he remained uncertain of the precise extent of his enhanced Qi, Dao cultivation, and mental power.
Time was too short for him to fully assess these gains.
But...
It was more than enough to utterly crush this Battle Formation, which had previously put up a formidable fight.
Rumble!
The Void Storm Dharma Aspect and the Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect collided head-on.
The Creation Law seemed poised to reshape the cosmos, manifesting the Great Thousand Worlds!
Countless "existences" stirred within the Void Storm, blossoming into a vibrant, kaleidoscopic realm!
Yet before these nascent colors could coalesce into true matter, stars, or the Five Elements, the Void Storm's inherent destructive force swept through them with overwhelming momentum, extinguishing all traces of creation power.
It was like a tsunami crashing against flames!
In an instant, the radiant heat and fiery brilliance were extinguished completely!
The Void Storm's power, though not overwhelmingly superior, was undeniably formidable. It slammed into the Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect's true form with devastating force!
The violent clash between the two forces seemed to momentarily freeze the Law Mysteries governing the entire balanced region!
"How is this possible?!"
Yuan Shaoyang's pupils constricted as he channeled the Battle Formation's power.
The Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect, manifested by combining the power of all participants, had failed to withstand Li Chunjun's Void Storm!?
Boom! Rumble!
The Void Storm surged violently, relentlessly battering and tearing at the Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect!
Yet...
The Creation Qilin did not shatter!
Without an overwhelming advantage, the Void Storm Dharma Aspect couldn't shatter the Creation Qilin in a single strike, despite the latter's fusion of fifty-nine great dharma aspects!
However, because the Creation Qilin couldn't fully withstand the Void Storm's might, the omnipresent Void Storm's power bypassed the Creation Qilin and pierced directly into the fifty-nine great dharma aspects forming the Battle Formation!
At that moment, the fifty-nine great dharma aspects had poured most of their Qi into the Battle Formation, severely limiting their individual capabilities.
As the Void Storm's power surged past the Creation Qilin and crashed into the Battle Formation, the formation that had been relentlessly pursuing Li Chunjun was instantly engulfed in a tempest of blood and gore.
In a single clash, over five dharma aspects were torn to shreds by the Void Storm!
Yuan Shaoyang's eyes widened in disbelief.
This is Li Chunjun's true strength?!
One man is overwhelming a Battle Formation composed of fifty-nine great dharma aspects?!
How is this possible?!
Even their Sect Master, Yuan Taiji, whose combat power reached 330,000, would struggle to achieve such a feat, likely needing to exert his full strength!
Despite the terror and dread gripping his heart, Yuan Shaoyang's mind remained razor-sharp.
"Long Xingyu!"
His mental power erupted!
At this critical moment, Long Xingyu was their only hope for breaking the deadlock.
Long Xingyu had already sensed the shift in momentum when Li Chunjun's Void Storm Dharma Aspect began to overwhelm the Creation Qilin Dharma Aspect.
Yet, faced with Yuan Shaoyang's urgent plea, all he could do was stick to their original plan and fight with every ounce of his strength!
Roar!
A heaven-shaking dragon's roar suddenly reverberated deep within the minds of all the dharma aspects.
Amidst the roar, a majestic phantom of the ancestral dragon, seemingly the sovereign of the Void, instantly surged past the towering figure of the creation qilin and plunged into the destructive torrent unleashed by the Void Storm Dharma Aspect.
The Void was like its offspring!
The cosmos lay open for its boundless dominion!
Even though Li Chunjun's Void Storm Dharma Aspect possessed the power to effortlessly obliterate Lesser Chiliocosms, it couldn't harm the ancestral dragon phantom in the slightest!
With the authority of a Void sovereign, the dharma aspect pierced through the Void Storm Dharma Aspect's power, relentlessly advancing behind it to stand before Li Chunjun.
"The Great Void Ancestral Dragon!"
At that moment, the dharma aspects from the Heavenly Palace finally recognized the origin of this dharma aspect!
"The Supreme Dharma Aspect—the Great Void Ancestral Dragon!"
"The Wu Ji Sect actually concealed an Ultimate Powerhouse who had cultivated a Supreme Dharma Aspect?!"
"Even the Supreme Dharma Aspect Great Void Ancestral Dragon couldn't wield the power of the Void to such an extent! A Dao Artifact! Look closely—there's a Top-Tier Void-type Dao Artifact within the ancestral dragon's body!"
Uncontainable emotional energy surged forth from the Heavenly Palace's dharma aspects.
Even the Dharma Aspects of the Wu Ji Sect were stunned and delighted, finding it utterly unbelievable.
They knew their Sect Master had prepared a formidable trump card to kill Li Chunjun—perhaps a Top-Tier Dao Artifact or a one-use Supreme Treasure!
But they never imagined he would summon a Supreme Dharma Aspect!
Moreover, this Supreme Dharma Aspect had unleashed the Wu Ji Sect's Top-Tier Dao Artifact!
"Die!"
Long Xingyu, piloting the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, surged toward Li Chunjun, his Heart-Mind erupting into a thunderous roar that shook the very soul.
This was...
A Mind Blast!
A "Mind Blast" Talisman, crafted from precious materials by a Supreme Sage!
The mental assault unleashed by this Talisman struck precisely as Long Xingyu closed in for the kill, timing his strike with flawless precision.
No one could fault his timing—not even Li Chunjun.
Yet his eyes showed no surprise, shock, or fear.
Instead, they remained utterly calm.
Within that calm, there was even...
A hint of disappointment.
Everyone knew all three sides had trump cards.
Li Chunjun had long anticipated that the Wu Ji Sect would likely summon a Supreme Dharma Aspect.
Therefore, Long Xingyu's sudden attack didn't surprise him in the slightest.
Nor was he surprised by Long Xingyu's possession of a Top-Tier Dao Artifact and a ninth-rank talisman.
In fact, he found the Wu Ji Sect's hidden cards rather underwhelming.
A ninth-rank talisman? That wasn't enough!
They needed at least a tenth-rank talisman!
Even the Top-Tier Dao Artifact fell short. A Quasi-Immortal Artifact would have been better!
Hmm?
The Wu Ji Sect didn't have a tenth-rank talisman?
Or a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?
Then...
"Is that all?" Li Chunjun remarked.
The power of his Destruction Dao Body and Void Dao Body activated!
He extended his right hand, making a grasping motion toward Long Xingyu, who was unleashing a lethal killing move.
In the next instant, the Great Void Ancestral Dragon's Void-dominating techniques, manifested through a Top-Tier Dao Artifact, seemed like a joke.
Long Xingyu, who had charged toward Li Chunjun with the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, suddenly felt as if he were sinking into quicksand, or being turned into amber!
Every step became a struggle!
The Void Law Mysteries were being rapidly siphoned away from his grasp.
And the one stripping him of control over the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect's Void Law...
It was Li Chunjun, standing right before him!
"How is this possible...? I am... the Supreme Dharma Aspect..."
Long Xingyu's eyes widened as he stared fixedly at Li Chunjun, desperate to understand what was happening.
He had endured countless hardships to finally forge the Supreme Dharma Aspect, and he had never revealed it publicly before.
This was his first life-or-death battle since achieving the Supreme Dharma Aspect!
Yet...
It had ended in such a humiliating defeat!
He needed to know how he had lost!
Thanks to the Great Void Ancestral Dragon's keen sensitivity to the Void, he managed to avoid a completely bewildering defeat.
He saw it clearly now.
Li Chunjun radiated a faint divine glow, as if he had become one with the entire Void.
Countless Void Laws spontaneously flowed into his control.
In a daze, Long Xingyu could almost sense the Void Laws cheering and rejoicing as they surged toward Li Chunjun.
It was as if...
The Void had finally welcomed its true master!
Long Xingyu's eyes widened in shock.
At that moment, Yuan Taiji's earlier speculation was completely confirmed.
"An Innate Divine Being!"
The reason he had suffered such a crushing defeat despite cultivating the Supreme Dharma Aspect...
...was because he had been fighting an Innate Divine Being destined to achieve dao unification in the future!
A being who could be considered a dao unification expert suppressing their power to the Dharma Manifestation Realm!
Facing such an Innate Divine Being...
His defeat was no disgrace!
Crack!
Long Xingyu heard something shatter.
It was the Void!
And his Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect!
He saw Li Chunjun, who had frozen him in place with his outstretched right hand, slowly clenching his fingers.
As Li Chunjun closed his fist, the Void began to collapse and compress violently, as if seeking to implode entirely. The resulting Void storm would utterly annihilate everything trapped within the frozen Void!
Long Xingyu understood this.
He struggled with all his might, channeling the full power of the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect to resist the Void's collapse.
But it was futile.
His opponent displayed the methods of an Innate Divine Being, wielding mastery over the Void akin to a sovereign. No matter how the Great Void Ancestral Dragon struggled, it could only watch helplessly as the Void contracted, compressed, and further crushed the structure of the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect, shattering it into fragments.
With the Supreme Dharma Aspect and a Top-Tier Dao Artifact, his combat power had undoubtedly reached 200,000!
Yet...
In a mere breath!
The Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect collapsed along with the Void.
As soon as the Grand Void Ancestral Dragon Dharma Aspect shattered, an overwhelming pressure swept over Long Xingyu's body like a destructive tide.
"Too powerful!"
Despair and resignation flickered in Long Xingyu's eyes.
But there was little bitterness.
He had glimpsed the dao integration opportunity.
However, he had clearly forgotten that such precious opportunities would be fiercely contested even by Quasi-Tenth-Tier beings. What chance did a mere Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator have to seize it?
Even if...
He was supposed to be the Ultimate Powerhouse among Dharma Aspects.
Boom!
Without the slightest suspense, Long Xingyu's body was crushed into dust by the collapsing Void.
