Although the black lotus was not shown in the form of a portal, Ling Yuling was sure that the power came from the Gate of Eternity.

 

To be precise, the black lotus was the manifestation of the Gate of Eternity’s Source.

 

She was astounded and terrified. Although she used to own the Gate of Eternity for some time, she could not take control of it, let alone use its power. It seemed that no one could truly control a First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure like the Gate of Eternity.

 

Although she acquired many records about the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures from Nan Qing at a later time, she did not see any way she could use the Gate of Eternity’s power.

 

So, how did Gu Changge easily control the Gate of Eternity and used its power? Did he truly use to own the Gate of Eternity?

 

As far as Ling Yuling was concerned, the Gate of Eternity was an ownerless Artifact. There had never been an owner since it was made, so it was unlikely that anyone used to own it.

 

But now, she did not have time to think deeply about it. Her Dao Sword flew across Heaven and Earth as its sword light came at the black lotus to destroy it. At the same time, a blurry world opened up behind Ling Yuling. It was a sword tomb she had refined. The moment the tomb opened up, countless divine swords she had nurtured shot forward.

 

Many divine swords were stuck in the mountain. Following Ling Yuling’s command, those swords flew forward as the sword lights engulfed Gu Changge.

 

She shot forward while these divine swords followed her. She soon reached Gu Changge’s location.

 

Many Dao Realm experts surrounded her. Furious, they collaborated to make a move to destroy the falling black lotus.

 

Gu Changge watched as Ling Yuling inched closer to him. Still, he calmly lifted his hand and extended two fingers. Amid the countless sword lights, he accurately pinched the sword she had extended.

 

The sword lights skirted past him, shattering the universe that was already broken.

 

A Celestial Mist tinged with a Chaotic Light surrounded him. The Great Dao seemed to have solidified as it destroyed all the divine swords that were meant to attack him.

 

The divine swords dimmed and fell before they could even reach him.

 

Anyway, the fact that Ling Yuling had made a move allowed other Dao Realm experts to get closer to Gu Changge.

 

A blurry ancient scroll expanded. Scenes like mountains and lakes, a Moon hovering above the sea, and winds breezing through the hills were enacted. All sorts of incredible powers descended from the sky.

 

The leaders of other Forces used their most deadly attacks. Many Great Dao True Dragons appeared as they swooped down from the sky while extending their claws, ready to annihilate their enemies.

 

Deafening sounds were heard as powerful fluctuations spread in all directions. Heaven and Earth were turned upside down. The River of Time contorted and broke apart.

 

Gu Changge watched everything with dispassion. The aura around him strengthened and became more horrifying. His figure seemed to be elevating as a thick celestial aura surrounded him, making him look sacred and inviolable.

 

His gaze darkened. A divine weapon was nurtured behind his eyes. The moment he looked in a particular direction, Spacetime was split in half, and the ancient scroll was torn apart right there and then.

 

Several Dao Realm experts shrieked. As he looked at them, they exploded and turned into blood mists in midair.

 

Sparks were seen coming from the void. Ling Yuling felt pain in her sword-holding hand and almost lost her weapon. Her arm had gone numb. She had protected the people around her from Gu Changge’s piercing gaze.

 

Despite that, she was unable to protect everyone. Some weaker Dao Realm experts were no different from cannon fodder in a war of this scale. They could not contribute even in the slightest.

 

“He’s too powerful…”

 

“He can’t be stopped…”

 

People like the Master of Light from the Bright Light Temple donned dark expressions. Although they were Ancestral Dao Realm experts, they found this to be too difficult to overcome. They did not know what they could do to go against a powerful enemy like him.

 

This was a terrifying sight. Gu Changge did not seem to have made a single move. His gaze alone could kill Dao Realm experts.

 

It was already difficult for experts to reach the Dao Realm, yet they withered and died like dried leaves in front of Gu Changge.

 

The leaders of various Forces were anxious. Although so many people had come together to oppose him, Gu Changge was still invincible. His power was so inscrutable that they felt despondent.

 

The massive black lotus in the sky was still descending.

 

All the petals continued to expand, extending into the distance in all directions. The edges of the leaves exuded immense auras that could destroy all World Principles.

 

Those that attacked were sent flying away while spitting blood. Their weapons exploded into countless pieces.

 

As the black lotus descended, they were powerless to resist it.

 

Gu Changge stood atop the black lotus and watched as the universe and the world fell apart. There was no emotion behind his gaze.

 

The Fragments of Spacetime danced amid the black winds. The entire world seemed to have turned into ruins. The substances in front of him fell apart. The leaves continued to expand and fall, forming a cage which covered the lotus flower in the centre. It connected Heaven and Hell. It was a shocking sight.

 

All of them could see Divine Lights filling the air. A faint glow radiating from the lotus seeds connected and sealed everything.

 

The black lotus in the centre continued to descend. Every petal exuded a tremendous aura which could crack the bones of these cultivators. Even a massive mountain would fall apart when facing the pressure.

 

It was the kind of doomsday they had never imagined. The entire universe was coming apart.

 

All the beings in the Mountain of Wonders were fearful when sensing the pressure. They were on the brink of a mental breakdown.

 

The entire world fell into darkness as all the light vanished.

 

Regardless of their powers, these people were covered in the black lotus. The Divine Light coming from the lotus seeds illuminated every corner of the void.

 

This place seemed to have turned into an eternally dark area. All the light was devoured and only absolute darkness was left.

 

The leaves expanded and penetrated every part of Spacetime, forming a cage which engulfed everyone in the Mountain of Wonders.

 

“Just what is this!?”

 

At that moment, many Dao Realm experts were fearful. They felt a suppression which made their powers stagnant. They were unable to fully activate their powers. In the area engulfed in the black lotus, the Principles were such that it could easily suppress Dao Realm experts.

 

The deeper they went, the more horrifying the oppressive Principles were. Even Ancestral Dao Realm experts would be suppressed.

 

The people of Heavenslayers Alliance were equally shocked. They felt like it was the Lotus of Destruction and Reincarnation, which they had heard in ancient legends. Every petal represented a round of destruction and reincarnation.

 

After nine rounds of reincarnation, the world would truly die and turn into ruins. Then, a new one would be born.

 

“Senior, we can’t shatter it. Given our powers, we can’t even touch it.”

 

Many leaders of the various Forces donned dark expressions. They had cast their best weapons, but those items fell apart before they could even hit the black lotus. It was like they were throwing eggs at a boulder.

 

The black mist approaching from a distance was like an invisible mouth which was absorbing all their powers.

 

Many suffered a backlash as blood streamed out of their orifices.

 

It was their first time dealing with such a situation. They did not know what the black lotus which had appeared out of nowhere was. Not only could it cordon off a large area, but it also contained some horrifying principles.

 

If they came into contact with the black lotus, all of them would explode into blood mists.

 

“It’s the power of the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Gate of Eternity…” Ling Yuling said solemnly. Although she was wearing her armour and holding a sword while sustaining her current peak of power, she was unable to defeat Gu Changge who had summoned the Gate of Eternity.

 

Moreover, she knew that Gu Changge’s true power must be even more horrifying. When they were in that dark space back then, he could easily dissolve the Aura of Darkness. She would only be a match for him if she could return to her previous peak of power.

 

“What!? He has the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Gate of Eternity!? Why is it in his hands!?”

 

Many leaders of different Forces found it inconceivable upon hearing that.

 

They were aware of how powerful First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures were. The fact that the Primary Hope Holy Church enjoyed such a transcendent status was mainly because of their First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Mirror of Reincarnation.

 

Gu Changge was already unimaginably powerful in the first place, and he even had the help of the Gate of Eternity. How were they supposed to go against him?

 

Many felt despondent and fearful.

 

“It’s not without hope before we meet our end,” Ling Yuling said impassively. While wearing a mask, she turned to look at the Primary Hope Saintess with a meaningful gaze.

 

The Primary Hope Saintess hovered in midair while holding a sword. Her hair danced in the air as she went against the powerful cultivators from the Heavenslayers Alliance. She looked graceful and transcendent. When she noticed Ling Yuling’s gaze, she nodded almost imperceptibly.

 

They soon tacitly came together. Upon seeing that, the leaders of various Forces did the same. The universe around the Mountain of Wonders had been covered in the black lotus.

 

It was not just blanket darkness. It was more like a cage for prisoners. Everything had been cordoned off, and they did not stand a chance to flee.

 

Beings like the Master of Light and the Buddhism Master of the Tathagatha Buddha Realm told the Elders to come together instead of heading to the depths. Their individual powers could not help them break free from this dark area.

 

What was more horrifying was that this dark area was continuously shrinking.

 

The most powerful cultivators of the Primary Hope Civilisation had gathered in the Mountain of Wonders. The Forces had sent important figures and experts to this place. If they lost their lives there, the Forces behind them would suffer immense losses which could not be recouped in a short time.

 

Suddenly, a bright light appeared. It was as though a Moon was rising from the depths of darkness. It seemed like a boundary had been formed between light and darkness.

 

A massive Moon rose from behind Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess. The ancient mirror reflected the happenings in the world over the eras. It also exuded a mysterious and ancient aura.

 

Its edges were carved with complicated patterns. There were scenes of ancient people worshipping Gods and dancing around a bonfire.

 

The icy lights beamed in different directions, going against the horrifying force that was inching closer to them.

 

“The Mirror of Reincarnation?” Xi Yin watched everything in shock, not expecting the Mirror of Reincarnation to appear in this place. The Primary Hope Saintess had brought the Mirror of Reincarnation out of the Primary Hope Holy Church, which was against the rules.

 

The Mirror of Reincarnation was the most important treasure of the Primary Hope Holy Church, so it could not be taken out.

 

However, the Primary Hope Saintess had defied the rules and brought it with her. That was why Xi Yin found it shocking and inconceivable.

 

The leaders of various Forces were equally shocked. When they came to their senses, they were elated because they could recognise the Mirror of Reincarnation, which was a First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure.

 

With the Mirror of Reincarnation’s help, and everyone on their side, they might just stand a chance to go against Gu Changge.

 

The tremendous energy of reincarnation emerged from the Mirror of Reincarnation. It seemed to have turned into a True Moon, hovering in the depths of darkness to cast away everything else and bring light to all of them.

 

Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess stood in front of the Mirror of Reincarnation, looking like two Moon Fairies. They were graceful and surrounded in a Celestial Light while going against the waves of darkness.

 

Ling Yuling had made many preparations for the Primary Hope Covenant.

 

She had considered the possibility of Gu Changge tearing apart the covenant and making a move against them. To deal with this possibility, she had a discussion with the Primary Hope Saintess and they decided that the latter would bring the Mirror of Reincarnation just in case they needed to go against Gu Changge.

 

After all, she was aware that Gu Changge had another Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Gate of Eternity.

 

“Well, you’ve even gotten the Mirror of Reincarnation ready. It seems that you’ve made many preparations to deal with me. However, do you think you can defeat me with the Mirror of Reincarnation’s help?” Gu Changge watched everything with dispassion. The blurry light around him came together and formed a light ball. It looked beautiful and radiated a powerful glow.

 

Following the appearance of this light ball, two weapons fell from above and he took them. One was a silver celestial sword and the other was a tree which radiated lights of seven colours.

 

“I’ve gotten the Mirror of Reincarnation ready not to deal with you but some special circumstances.” The light went out of Ling Yuling’s eyes when she heard Gu Changge’s words, but her determination and iciness were soon restored.

 

“That is… the aura of another Civilisation Supreme Treasure!”

 

When the other ancient beings noticed the blurry light ball in front of Gu Changge, they were astounded. They did not expect Gu Changge to have another Civilisation Supreme Treasure.

 

Although it was not a First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure like the Gate of Eternity, it was a divine item that a Civilisation had used all its power to make. It contained all sorts of incredible abilities.

 

Gu Changge did not respond to them. As he waved his hand, a wisp of sword energy appeared, cutting the world in half.

 

The silver celestial sword shot forward, forming an amazing sword light which penetrated everything. All of them were flabbergasted.

 

Unlike the Dao Sword that Ling Yuling had used, Gu Changge’s sword was full of murderous intent. He did not use any beautiful but useless move. He just had to wave his hand to produce a power that could destroy the world.

 

All the pavilions, palaces, boulders, and divine trees in the Mountain of Wonders were destroyed as they exploded into nothingness. Beings who could not flee in time were fearful and despondent. Impacted by the horrifying force, they turned into ashes.

 

Ling Yuling and the Primary Hope Saintess collaborated to activate the Mirror of Reincarnation. A light screen appeared and covered as many people as it could.

 

Although the Primary Hope Saintess was the current owner of the Mirror of Reincarnation, it was difficult for her to activate its full strength, considering her cultivation.

 

She felt her Qi getting drained quickly. If she were in any other ordinary universe, she could absorb energy from the void. Nevertheless, this world had been cordoned off. She could not sense anything from the outside world, let alone extract energy to recuperate.
