Chen Yan gazed up at everything unfolding before him, so shaken that he was nearly rendered speechless.
This was the first time Chen Yan had truly witnessed the methods of an Uncarved Simplicity Realm Sage. Compared with a True Person of the Immortal Ascension Realm, they were simply on entirely different dimensions. This was genuine power and authority capable of influencing an entire domain of heaven and earth.
A True Person of the Immortal Ascension Realm, if completely unrestrained, would be powerful enough to bring about the destruction of the world within several days, just like the Great Demon's Egg that had evolved from the corruption of Su Hongzhen's Dao Basis in the past.
But a Sage of the Uncarved Simplicity Realm could decide whether an entire domain of heaven and earth existed or not with a single thought.
Eight thousand years ago, Chen Yan had also personally witnessed the scene of Mr. You becoming a Sage.
The sky above Chenping Continent had been completely torn apart in an instant, forming a massive crack stretching tens of millions of li and spanning the entirety of Chenping Continent.
However, after becoming a Sage, Mr. You's primary battlefield with that Mystic Maiden Statue and the existence behind it was not in Chenping Continent. It was within the spatial rifts behind the crack that had split open above the heavens.
Chen Yan did not know what kind of battle Mr. You had endured within the spatial rifts against that Mystic Maiden Statue and the existence behind it, nor what kind of slaughter he had gone through for Fusheng the Ultimate Sage to fall into such a miserable state.
But after personally witnessing the methods displayed by the Sage of Imperial Void just now, Chen Yan had already formed a vague image in his mind.
Whether it was Qiu Siruo on the Myriad Laws Platform or the six other Immortal Ascension cultivators suspended in the air, all of them were now staring at the back of the Sage of Imperial Void, Bai Chen, with expressions of shock and awe.
This was the might of a Sage.
Overturning common sense, commanding heaven and earth.
Yet Chen Yan had not expected that the Sage of Imperial Void, who held the authority of this domain of heaven and earth, would be so powerful. In merely an instant, he had destroyed more than a thousand Mystic Maiden Statues.
The enormous crack spanning the heavens had also begun to heal in defiance of all reason.
The Sage of Imperial Void at his peak was actually this powerful?
But...
Chen Yan suddenly remembered what Bai Chen had told him not long ago, before he had used the Sage's four segments of cause and effect and the Heavenly Summit Mirror to summon the Sage of Imperial Void at his full strength to present-day Chenping Continent, atop the mountain of corpses in the cave beneath the lake.
The current outcome had long since been fated.
Fate was absolutely impossible to defy.
This battle should have been a battle that the Sage of Imperial Void, Bai Chen, was destined to lose.
Yet the methods and pressure displayed by that incomparably pure and overbearing white figure standing upright between heaven and earth just now caused Chen Yan to doubt, in that instant, whether Bai Chen had deceived him.
Even after that ultimate white radiance pierced through the sky, more than a thousand Mystic Maiden Statues had been completely destroyed, but several thousand Mystic Maiden Statues still remained in the sky.
Moreover, countless streams of Seven-Colored Golden Light continued to surge forth endlessly from the spatial rifts beyond the heavens.
They flashed and expanded, as though they were boundless.
Yet in the very next instant, all the countless Seven-Colored Golden Light flashing beyond the heavens suddenly vanished without a trace.
Even the several thousand Mystic Maiden Statues, each standing several thousand zhang tall above Chenping Continent, began to crack and disintegrate at almost the exact same moment.
In the blink of an eye, not a single Mystic Maiden Statue remained in the sky. Only countless fragments and a vast expanse of Seven-Colored Golden Light were left behind.
“What exactly is this...”
In the sky, Realman Sun-Eroding Liang Huan of Mirage Palace looked up at the dazzling, resplendent Seven-Colored Golden Light filling the heavens. His eyes were full of disbelief as he said, “Could it be that everything is over? The end is over?”
Standing beside Realman Sun-Eroding, Realman Lingxuan, Gu Jing, the Eighth-Generation Ascended Steward of Heavenly Summit Mountain, was also deeply shaken by the sight before him.
But why?
At the beginning, the more than one thousand Mystic Maiden Statues had indeed been pierced through and erased by that ultimate white radiance.
But what exactly had caused the several thousand Mystic Maiden Statues that had suddenly disintegrated just now to...
“Wait, everyone, Seniors!”
Realman Liuguang suddenly spoke from the side, his face filled with disbelief.
This young cultivator, who had only broken through to the Immortal Ascension Realm within the past century, could not yet be said to possess the mindset of a mature Immortal Ascension cultivator. Like Realman Xihe, he had always respectfully addressed all the great powers of the Immortal Ascension Realm present as “Seniors.”
“Just now, I seem to have broken free from the restrictions of Chenping Continent's laws of heaven and earth...”
Realman Liuguang continued.
“This should also be the work of that Sage.”
Yin Xia answered him from the side. The beautiful Immortal Ascension cultivator's proud chest rose and fell slightly as she lifted her head and looked toward the unfamiliar Sage standing amid the boundless Seven-Colored Golden Light.
“Chenping Continent's heaven and earth are incomplete. That Sage just now should have used some method to complete the heaven and earth of this domain, allowing him to truly unleash his strength.”
“So, everything is over?”
Realman Liuguang continued.
Upon hearing this, the various Immortal Ascension cultivators all raised their heads and looked toward the countless fragments and remnants of the Mystic Maiden Statues floating in the air.
They did not fall.
The sky had already been completely covered by endless Mystic Maiden fragments and a sea of golden light.
What was even more terrifying was that the Seven-Colored Golden Light spreading across the heavens did not dim at all as the statues disintegrated.
Instead, as though it had lost its restraints, it began to surge and converge wildly.
It grew increasingly dazzling and increasingly resplendent, until it became...
Blinding.
“This is...”
Qin Qingyu gazed at the Seven-Colored Golden Light filling the sky above her. Then, when she saw the sole Mystic Maiden Statue slowly emerging within the vast expanse of Seven-Colored Golden Light above the heavens, her pupils instantly contracted.
“Run!”
In the next instant, heaven and earth lost their color, and all things were annihilated.
The Seven-Colored Golden Light at the edge of the heavens completely exploded. First, it swallowed the figures of the six Immortal Ascension cultivators in the sky, causing them to completely evaporate in the blink of an eye.
Then came Du Cang Mountain.
Chen Yan stood straight on the Myriad Laws Platform, gazing at everything happening in the sky.
The Sage of Imperial Void had not deceived him.
This was a battle that was destined to end in defeat, and an outcome that had long been fated.
At the final moment of Chen Yan's life, what entered his vision was the unsteady figure of the Sage of Imperial Void in the sky.
And as his consciousness completely faded away, he seemed to sense the unwillingness and relief of the Sage of Imperial Void.
Because this was the outcome that had been fated.
