Suddenly, the image in the ancient mirror turned chaotic, constantly shifting, constantly searching...

Finally, a silhouette appeared on the mirror's surface, and at this moment, the old man and the woman in white stared intently at the mirror.

In the next second, behind the silhouette, a Long River emerged.

The moment the phantom of the Long River appeared—

Bam—

A shattering sound rang out, and the mirror surface shattered instantly into countless fragments.

Thud—

The old man's face turned deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, supporting himself on the ground, gasping heavily.

Seeing this, the woman in white was shocked, "Ancestor, are you okay?!"

At this moment, the old man didn't have the strength to respond, his life force weak to the extreme, like a flickering candle flame in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

After a long time, the old man's raspy voice finally sounded, "Our Taishang, it seems, is destined not to withstand this catastrophe."

He had burned half of his life's blood for the divination and couldn't even glimpse the opponent's appearance, only a silhouette...

The Celestial Mirror is one of the three Extreme Dao Immortal Artifacts of the Great Woe Immortal Realm. From the moment the Great Woe Immortal Realm was born, the Celestial Wheel Realm already existed.

Tracing history back further, the Celestial Mirror is even older and more ancient than the Great Woe Immortal Realm itself.

In the history of the Great Woe Immortal Realm, the struggle for the Celestial Mirror has never ceased in any era. During the most terrifying era, countless top-level experts fought for a millennium, shattering one-fifth of the Immortal Domain's territory.

Every ruler of each era of the Immortal Domain has owned the Celestial Wheel Realm.

The Celestial Wheel Realm has accompanied the Great Woe Immortal Realm for so many years, enduring numerous epochs, full of vicissitudes and damage, yet remains intact, showcasing the immense strength of the Celestial Wheel Realm, which is almost impossible to be damaged.

But now, just to divine a single person, and without even successfully divining the true form, just a mere silhouette, the Celestial Wheel Realm was completely shattered!

Seeing the Celestial Wheel Realm shattered, the woman's mind went blank, losing the ability to think.

For the Bai Family, they had planned for ten thousand years, with countless clan members sacrificing themselves to seize control of the Celestial Wheel Realm.

It was also because of securing the Celestial Wheel Realm that the Bai Family solidified its status among the top ranks of the Great Woe Immortal Realm.

Moreover, even though the Bai Family gained control over the Celestial Wheel Realm, it was still temporary. Should the Bai Family lose a pillar-like figure, the Celestial Wheel Realm would be rapidly contested and possibly become a highly dangerous burden.

Typically, if the ruler of the Celestial Wheel Realm perishes, the family or faction involved voluntarily relinquishes control of the Celestial Wheel Realm for others to contest, as lacking the power to control it becomes an extremely hazardous liability.

Such was the case when a top Immortal Sect, who failed to surrender the Celestial Wheel Realm after its Sect Leader perished, was annihilated overnight by countless forces besieging it.

Now, with the old man's life force waning and the Celestial Wheel Realm shattered,

This dealt not only a heavy blow to the Bai Family but also to the entire Great Woe Immortal Realm!

.....

Who truly is this being, what kind of cultivation, that merely an attempt at divination shattered the Celestial Wheel Realm?

The woman in white stood frozen, unable to regain her senses, as fear uncontrollably burgeoned and spread in her heart...

Only the sound of their breathing echoed within the room...

After a long while, the old man regained a sliver of vitality, sat upright, and hoarsely spoke: "Xiao Luo, leave Taishang."

Hearing this, Bai Qiuluo came to her senses, her face showing confusion: "Ancestor, why...."

"You just saw, I burned half my blood for the divination and still don't know where the opponent truly is."

"Even, the Celestial Wheel Realm is completely shattered."

"We, the Great Woe Immortal Realm, face an enemy so powerful that it cannot be divined. Victory is impossible..."

The old man's voice was weak, filled with despair.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuluo showed a bewildered expression. As the Bai Family's contemporary leader, she had been a linchpin from the day she ascended a millennium ago. With the ancestor holding the Celestial Wheel Realm, the Bai Family stood as a top Immortal Sect Clan.

But now, with the ancestor gravely injured and nearing his end, and the Celestial Wheel Realm shattered, the Bai Family teetered on the brink of collapse. How could she leave, how could she even think of leaving?

"Ancestor, let's spread the word. The impending calamity of destruction for Taishang concerns not just our Bai Family."

Bai Qiuluo tried to calm herself, analyzing any possible way out.

As soon as she finished, the old man shook his head: "When the dyke breaks, no amount of ants banding together can stop the flood and beast."

"Those two cosmic invaders that entered the Immortal Domain, only their avatars alone kept you occupied for over a hundred years and succeeded in laying plans within the Immortal Domain."

"And the being behind those two intruders stands at a height beyond our imagination..."

"Even if you spread the word, what good will it do?"

"The forces within the Immortal Domain will only blame us for damaging the Celestial Wheel Realm, possibly even launching attacks against the Bai Family."

"In their view, the Great Woe Immortal Realm has always been a stronghold of strength, standing too tall, reigning too long. Even if you tell them that the Immortal Domain faces annihilation, they won't believe it."

"Only when that day truly arrives will they feel the despair..."

After saying this, the old man panted heavily, each word painfully difficult.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuluo stood frozen, muttering: "Ancestor, can he really obliterate the entire Taishang....?"

For Bai Qiuluo now, the term "obliteration" became unfathomable, never having imagined what kind of entity could single-handedly annihilate Taishang....

"Yes!"

The ancestor stared firmly at Bai Qiuluo, affirming.

"I'm at death's door, with only about a century left."

"You must not reveal today's events or that the Celestial Wheel Realm was damaged."

"In the coming century, secretly execute a 'seed plan', selecting the most promising talents within the Bai Family, not too many, but each must be excellent."

"On the day of my demise, take the clan members and leave Taishang... never look back!"

With that, he waved his hand, an Immortal Light burst from his sleeve, landing before Bai Qiuluo.

The Immortal Light dispersed, and upon seeing it, Bai Qiuluo's beautiful eyes widened in shock: "How is it here!"
