No side could win without suffering at least minor losses! Perhaps they could even slaughter many Great Awakening True Immortals, but they could not eliminate all the opposing elders and protectors.
If anyone dared to do so, it would inevitably incur the wrath of those who truly held all power, the Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortals!
No one had ever dared to do such a thing!
To dare to kill elder-level figures who surpassed three levels and had constructed four Origin Worlds!
Yet, now, someone had done it!
And not just by wiping out one side, but all three sides!
Such a shocking event, even after eight hundred billion years of Tang Emperor's reign, caused infinite tremors in his heart.
"A great change unseen in five thousand kalpas?"
"Could it be that someone is truly challenging the rule of those Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortals?"
This was what Emperor Tang, Li Zhi, thought.
But in the end, he did not witness that scene.
Nor did he know the outcome, the result.
The tide of world destruction not only swept through the two great legions and two great armies but also the two great mortal kingdoms.
One by one, the prefectural cities were destroyed, and the capitals of the two great kingdoms were annihilated.
The two great kingdoms possessed countless Great Luo Golden Immortals and Hunyuan Golden Immortals.
There were numerous Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even some ancestors in the Initial Profound realm, and even Great Awakening True Immortal realm, within the two great kingdoms.
These were the ancient emperors of the ancient era, who were still alive.
However, these so-called ancient emperors could not withstand even a single breath of the Immortal Emperor's law, turning into ashes.
Such was the fate of the mortal kingdoms.
Except for the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, other forces and rogue cultivators in the mortal realm suffered the same fate!
Heaven Pillar Mountain, a renowned place for rogue cultivators, had many in the Initial Profound realm, and even some in the Great Awakening True Immortal realm.
The black-clothed woman and the Heavenly Savage Sword Master hailed from here.
In the countless spaces opened up by cultivators in the mortal realm, among the myriad Great Thousand Worlds, there were also sects belonging to the Four Heroes of the Immortal Vehicle.
Their ancestor was a Great Awakening True Immortal. When the Four Heroes of the Immortal Vehicle died, their ancestor was still in seclusion, planning to seek revenge after emerging.
He did not know that if he had emerged immediately, he would have faced a fatal end.
But now, it was the same.
Even in seclusion, a trace of Fang Ming's incomplete Immortal Emperor's law fluctuation turned this Great Awakening True Immortal into dust, even into nothingness.
Regardless of whether it was a hidden force in the mortal realm or a rogue cultivator, their strength was not much greater than that of the two mortal kingdoms, so how could they escape Fang Ming's annihilation?
The continent known as the mortal realm, with a volume of hundreds of billions of universes, was utterly destroyed by the might of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Or rather, it was not destruction, but assimilation, transformation.
Countless cultivators, energy, and cultivation resources ultimately turned into the energy within Fang Ming, which he intended to use to construct his fifth Origin World.
But it was not enough.
Still not enough.
The cultivators of the mortal realm were too weak.
After consuming cultivators below the Great Awakening realm, and nearly a hundred Great Awakening True Immortals, he still did not gain as much energy as Li Daofu alone.
The construction of the fifth Origin World remained a distant prospect.
Thus, Fang Ming turned his gaze towards the heavens.
That was the Heavenly Realm where the Five Elements Heavenly Palace was located.
With such a major event occurring, even the mortal kingdoms could know the inside story, let alone the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
Within the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, over thirty elder-level figures and over a hundred protector-level figures had joined forces, forming an incomparably powerful formation.
Its name was the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
Its diagram and formation collected all the Dao of Tongtian Sect Master from five thousand chaotic kalpas.
A formation diagram laid out by Tongtian Sect Master for five thousand kalpas.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation consisted of a total of five hundred and eighty-eight swords, some being Immortal Slaying Swords, some Trap Immortal Swords, some Absolute Immortal Swords, and some Annihilating Immortal Swords.
Among them, one hundred and thirty-six swords were low-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures.
One hundred and sixty-four swords were mid-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures.
One hundred and ten swords were high-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures.
Ninety swords were ultimate-grade Chaos Supreme Treasures.
Sixty swords were Half Dao Artifacts.
Twenty-eight swords were true Dao Artifacts.
With the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, supplemented by the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, and one hundred and thirty-two Great Awakening Golden Immortals controlling the formation, its power was evident.
This Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was one of the foundations of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace. Even a Great Awakening Golden Immortal who had condensed four Origin Worlds would not survive for more than ten breaths before becoming energy within the sword formation.
Brilliant sword light, formed by five hundred and eighty-eight swords, surged towards Fang Ming.
"Truly weak..."
Standing at the position of Immortal Emperor, and possessing four more Origin Worlds than a normal Quasi-Immortal Emperor, Fang Ming, who could utilize the laws of origin, made his judgment.
Never mind that this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, with twenty-eight Dao Artifacts as its core swords.
Even a thousand Great Awakening Golden Immortals, or ten thousand Great Awakening Golden Immortals, would die without a doubt if they entered the formation.
Even a Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal would be uncertain of victory in a battle against it.
But this did not include Fang Ming.
Fang Ming's strength surpassed that of a normal Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal.
Fang Ming felt that he could resolve this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation within a hundred breaths.
And so it was.
The brilliant sword light, representing the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, lasted only a hundred breaths before Fang Ming before it was shattered.
The sword formation was torn apart, and the twenty-eight Dao Artifacts were destroyed.
As for the one hundred and thirty-two Great Awakening Golden Immortals controlling the formation, before Fang Ming, their primordial spirits, physical bodies, magical powers, Dao fruits, and most importantly, their internal Origin Worlds.
After the formation was broken, in almost an instant, Fang Ming converted all their energy using his energy converter.
Even the more than thirty elder-level figures and over a hundred protector-level figures were defeated so quickly.
Let alone the ordinary disciples of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
Whether they were outer disciples of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal or Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
Or inner disciples of the Initial Profound realm.
Or core disciples of the Great Awakening True Immortal realm.
They were no different from mortals in the mortal realm, dying at Fang Ming's hands with no power to resist.
Fang Ming stepped into the Five Elements Heavenly Palace in the heavens.
In the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, all cultivators, all Great Awakening True Immortals, and Great Awakening Golden Immortals had perished.
And after killing so many cultivators.
The vast energy converted finally allowed Fang Ming to step into a new realm in the Great Awakening Immortal Dao.
A fifth Origin World appeared within him.
This fifth Origin World triggered a chain reaction with the other four Origin Worlds.
The Five Elements were complete.
The Five Elements generated and overcame each other.
This was the perfection of the Great Awakening Immortal Dao.
From the initial entry into the Great Awakening True Immortal realm, to the stable Great Awakening Golden Immortal realm, and then to the perfected Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal realm.
A momentum formed around Fang Ming.
The momentum of the flowing Five Elements!
"Five Elements Demon God..."
Fang Ming recalled the Five Elements Demon Gods of the past.
...
"Chaos as the furnace! Five elements as the craft!"
With five-colored light flowing and Dao laws pervading, a woman demonstrated the essence of the Great Dao of Five Elements using the entire chaos.
Beside her were Great Immortal Yang Mei and the Xuan Tian Demon God.
...
"A thousand years of bloody battle..."
Fang Ming felt the momentum of the flowing Five Elements and five energies within himself.
He smiled.
"He has sublimated the laws of the Five Elements that the Five Elements Demon Gods once possessed into the Origin Laws of the Five Elements."
