Seven-colored golden light, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.

The Mystic Maiden statues, their hands already pressed together before their chests, descended upon the firmament with an indifferent posture of utter annihilation.

Everything currently unfolding was almost entirely identical to what had happened in the previous cycle of reincarnation.

Six brilliant rainbows of differing hues, each containing the devastating power to destroy heaven and earth, surged toward the already-rent heavenly curtain.

And these six beings, representing the current pinnacle of Immortal Ascension Realm great powers in this domain heavens, had all already steeled themselves for a battle to the death.

Upon the Myriad Laws Platform.

Clad in moon-white daoist robes, her body coursing with glassy light and flames, Qiu Siruo gazed upward at the Mystic Maiden statues overhead, her eyes filled entirely with reluctance.

Chen Yan, or rather Chen Yan's External Incarnation, had his left hand clasped behind his back while his right hand formed the Emptiness Annihilation Art's hand seal, pressed against his chest.

He could not stop the trembling of his right hand.

Black cracks, representing the collapse of the laws of heaven and earth, had already appeared on Chen Yan's wrist and were continuously spreading toward both ends.

Forcing the activation of dao rhyme through his External Incarnation was still somewhat too strained.

Chen Yan had forcibly used the Emptiness Annihilation Art twice, respectively blocking the Mystic Maiden statue's first palm press and the glare It had directed at Qiu Siruo.

Constrained by the incompleteness of heaven and earth, the price Chen Yan paid for forcibly activating dao rhyme to execute the Emptiness Annihilation Art was six thousand years of dao rhyme.

Under ideal circumstances, an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator's dao rhyme would require a full hundred thousand years to be completely worn away.

Yet Chen Yan had only ascended to immortality for a little over two hundred years, and already one-tenth had been eroded.

Every time an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator forcibly broke through the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth to use dao rhyme, they were overdrafting their own future.

Just as the six beings, representing the current pinnacle of Immortal Ascension Realm great powers in this domain heavens, launched their "charge" toward the Mystic Maiden statues above the firmament, within the rift beyond the heavenly dome, countless seven-colored specks of light simultaneously flickered to life.

Like a multitude of stars.

Those seven-colored radiances rapidly expanded within the opening beyond the heavenly dome, transforming from stars to the size of suns in but an instant, and then one Mystic Maiden statue after another emerged from within.

Several thousand Mystic Maiden statues, each towering thousands of zhang with dazzling seven-colored golden light swirling around them, had already densely occupied the entire sky.

An indescribable sense of oppression and despair had already swept through the heart of every Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator.

Through sheer numerical advantage, perhaps they could fight for a sliver of survival in the decisive battle against that one Mystic Maiden statue.

This was the original thought of these Ascended Stewards of Chenping Continent.

But now, they had all discovered that they could not have been more utterly mistaken.

Because whether in quality or quantity, they were indisputably the side being crushed.

Several thousand Mystic Maiden statues simultaneously raised Their palms above Their heads, then began to press them together toward Their chests.

But just at the moment when the "apocalypse" that felt so familiar to Chen Yan was about to descend upon Chenping Continent, heaven and earth fell silent.

Not soundless, but the howling fierce wind atop Du Cang Mountain, the qi surging within the bodies of the cultivators, the rainbows of light that the six Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators had transformed into, and even the seven-colored golden light swirling around the countless Mystic Maiden statues above the firmament, all became completely "still."

As if the passage of time had entirely frozen at this very instant.

Immediately following, an indescribable "sense of existence" descended with a thunderous boom from the direction of South Yu Lake.

That "sense of existence" was not some kind of "aura" or some kind of "pressure."

It was law.

It was sage authority, transcending the laws of heaven and earth of this domain heavens, brooking no question or defiance from any existence!

What arrived first was light.

Completely different from the dazzling, resplendent seven-colored golden light swirling around those Mystic Maiden statues.

It was a pure, domineering, icy-to-the-extreme touch of "white," as if it had already existed for countless ages at the very inception of this domain heavens, a white that had existed for innumerable years.

A pillar of white light, condensed to the density of substance itself, shot skyward from the direction of South Yu Lake, ignoring spatial distance as it instantly pierced through over a thousand Mystic Maiden statues suspended above the firmament.

In an instant, over a thousand Mystic Maiden statues were reduced to a sky full of fragments, suspended in the heavens, as countless dazzling seven-colored golden lights burst apart, yet before that pure and domineering "white," they seemed so utterly dim.

Almost at the very same instant that touch of "white" flickered across the horizon, a youth clad in cool-white daoist robes had already appeared in the sky above Du Cang Mountain.

He placed both hands behind his back, proudly facing the massive rift above the firmament that had already been torn to a length of several hundred thousand li.

"Heaven of Vast Desolation."

Three lightly spoken words slowly emerged from the mouth of that Sage standing between heaven and earth.

As if the chains binding oneself had suddenly snapped, an "illusion" flashed through Chen Yan's mind, as well as through the minds of every Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator present.

In just an instant, Chen Yan had already understood what had just happened.

The Sage of Imperial Void had used his sage authority to briefly restore the laws of heaven and earth within a million-li radius, allowing this domain heavens within that range to temporarily sustain the existence of Immortal Ascension Realm and above cultivators!

Chen Yan's External Incarnation on the Myriad Laws Platform lowered his head to gaze at his right hand covered in black cracks, then watched as the cracks that had been spreading from his wrist toward his arm and palm began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not just Chen Yan, the countless wounds on Qiu Siruo's body also began to rapidly heal.

As if the heavy pressure of deep water had lifted, the "sense of rejection" that the laws of heaven and earth of Chenping Continent imposed upon Immortal Ascension cultivators had completely vanished, and this domain heavens now fully permitted these Immortal Ascension Realm cultivators to circulate and utilize their dao rhyme.

This was an indescribable sense of liberation!

And in the next instant, standing on the Myriad Laws Platform, Chen Yan's External Incarnation suddenly exploded, transforming into heaven and earth spiritual energy that dispersed between heaven and earth.

In its place, the figure of Chen Yan's true body appeared upon the Myriad Laws Platform.

He raised his head, gazing up at the figure of Bai Chen, the Ultimate Sage of Imperial Void, whom he had just summoned through the Heavenly Summit Mirror, in his peak-period form.

That Sage, clad in cool-white daoist robes, his bearing and aura both incomparably domineering, as if brooking no one's doubt, and wielding the final authority of this domain heavens, slowly raised his right hand, extending his index finger and thumb toward the heaven-obscuring rift above the firmament that had been torn open to a length of several hundred thousand li, then pressed his index finger and thumb together.

Boom!

A tremendous sound rang out from beyond the heavenly dome, and immediately following, that massive rift, several hundred thousand li in length and tens of thousands of li in width, began to slowly heal.
