The Manifestation Dao Body, now lacking a leg, slowly sank down. Before it could hit the ground, it disintegrated into specks of light.

A cracked vase fell among the ruins, rolling quietly and alone…

Luo Xiu stepped out from the Void, trembling as he knelt to pick up the vase. "Master Ping, thanks," he whispered. "I'll handle her, then get out of here alive."

"We'll still roam the Ten Thousand Realms together… I can't just die here."

After ensuring that Master Ping had only fallen into a deep sleep, Luo Xiu sighed in relief. He placed Master Ping into the Holy Lotus Jade Pendant and looked up thoughtfully at the massive black sphere in the distance.

In his opinion, what Master Ping just did should be more than enough to give Watari Kagura a hard time.

However… my time is probably running out. I only have one chance, and I must seize it. But the hardest part is creating that opportunity.

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder erupted in the Void before Luo Xiu, tearing open a spatial rift. In a flash, he entered the rift and disappeared.

He had just comprehended the Space-splitting Divine Thunder, which, once cast, would create a completely independent space—the Divine Thunder Space. The Divine Thunder Space was connected to the real world, yet completely isolated from it. Hiding within, Luo Xiu could sense things in the real world with his Divine Sense, but Watari Kagura couldn't sense his presence.

「」

Three thousand tangible currents of Divine Power converged into a single point, their combined Blade Qi unleashing a might Luo Xiu dared not even contemplate.

Before long, the Tomb of Civilization, with an area comparable to modern-day Hua Country, had utterly collapsed into countless fragments of various sizes, slowly sinking into the dark Void.

Luo Xiu watched from within the Divine Thunder Space as the shocking and terrifying scene unfolded, and he could hardly imagine how Watari Kagura could withstand such a powerful impact.

As time passed, the massive black sphere was suddenly erased by an invisible wave of Divine Power.

Watari Kagura stood motionless in the Void, her clothing in tatters. Large patches of her snow-white skin were exposed, with just a few scraps of cloth barely covering her body.

"How much longer can your Essence Blood sustain you?" Watari Kagura asked into the silence.

Even covered in wounds, she remained calm and composed.

CRACK!

A bolt of thunder suddenly exploded in front of her.

Luo Xiu stepped out of the spatial rift at a measured pace. Sizing up Watari Kagura, he said, "You can wield Divine Power at will because you possess the bloodline of an Ancient God, but it seems your flesh and bones haven't reached the necessary strength."

At that moment, Luo Xiu could clearly feel how weak Watari Kagura was. This weakness wasn't due to the earlier attack of three thousand currents of Blade Qi, but because she had overused her Divine Power, pushing her body to its limit.

"Even if you've figured that out, what can you do?" Watari Kagura slowly raised her hand, pointing her blade at Luo Xiu. "Even if I'm running on fumes, I have more than enough power to kill you."

CRACK!

As her words fell, the light from her blade tore through the Void. Watari Kagura transformed into a sky-shattering beam of light, slashing straight at him!

In an instant, Luo Xiu was decapitated!

Watari Kagura stood silently in the Void, watching his head fall into the depths of darkness, a fleeting glimpse of guilt passing imperceptibly across her face.

Even though she had fused with the Evil Ancient God, she was still herself, still possessed her past memories.

"Luo Xiu, thank you for saving me before. But I must kill you."

As she murmured to herself, she suddenly furrowed her brow. The falling head had suddenly dissolved into specks of light and vanished!

"That wasn't his real body?"

CRACK!

A spatial rift emerged behind her. Before she could react, a blast of Divine Power tore through the Void and shot toward her!

Watari Kagura cursed inwardly and dodged instinctively, but the Divine Power was too fast. It pierced her heart in an instant.

A moment later, Luo Xiu emerged from the spatial rift, a blue light flickering in his eyes.

Watari Kagura coughed up blood. She clutched her pierced chest and staggered backward, falling onto a floating fragment of land as she stared at Luo Xiu in disbelief.

"This Clone… how…"

Luo Xiu, holding the sheathed Dream and Asura, wobbled toward her.

"Are you wondering why you couldn't tell it was a fake?" he asked, then added, "It was a replica of myself, copied using Holy Blasphemy."

Upon hearing this, Watari Kagura clenched her teeth and struggled to her feet. "But this is your last resort."

By now, Luo Xiu's left eye was bloodshot and bleeding continuously. Of his entire body, only this eye was a divine organ capable of wielding Divine Power. However, using it twice in succession had pushed him to his limit.

Watari Kagura suddenly laughed softly. "You think destroying my heart will kill me? It seems you know nothing about the power of a god!"

Luo Xiu slowly raised the sheathed Dream and Asura, and a terrifying aura of Divine Power suddenly erupted from his body. At the same time, his entire body developed cracks all over, like baked clay, as if it were about to shatter.

Seeing this, Watari Kagura's eyes widened. "Forcibly wielding Divine Power with a Mortal Body… do you have a death wish?"

She couldn't imagine the torment Luo Xiu must be enduring.

Luo Xiu's face twisted into a savage expression as his skin began to peel off, turning to ash and revealing the crimson flesh beneath.

"As if… you were going to spare my life," he snarled. "Today, only one of us is leaving here alive!"

With a roar, Luo Xiu dashed forward, stabbing with his sword.

An invisible Sword Qi arrived in an instant!

"Death Granting Sword Technique—Crossing the Yellow Springs!"
