“Immortalflame Constellation!”

When his attack on Tianming failed, he manifested his cosmic constellation. His physical form shifted dramatically as his middlekin astron structure changed, transforming him from a humanoid shape into a fiery, universe-like entity of astonishing strength.

He was indeed a formidable opponent! Were it not for the skypole stars, he would be a tremendous threat to Tianming. But the stronger his foe, the more excited Tianming grew.

"Li Tianming, have you exhausted all your methods? Your ghouls and skypole stars are powerful, but one man alone can’t stop the will of Yueling Starcage! You’re Nullity’s greatest hope, and defeating you means the Realm of Chaos will soon be ours. Yueling Starcage fears neither challenges nor difficulties, and certainly not sacrifice!"

With his transformation into the Immortalflame Constellation complete, Yueling Li's voice boomed with imposing power. His words drew several primocosmic gods to his aid, but they appeared to be no stronger than Yueling Momo. Tianming chose to simply ignore them.

"Are you done? Then prepare to die!"

With countless ghouls being torn apart every moment, Tianming needed a swift victory. His colossal 8,000-meter body exploded into a charge as he bore down upon Yueling Li.

"Hehe."

Yueling Li enveloped the sword wheel with his Immortalflame Constellation form, forging it into an astral sword wheel that hurtled toward Tianming like a fiery tornado.

"Do you still think that cosmic constellations are indestructible?" Tianming knew what his opponent relied on, and better yet, he knew exactly how to counter it.

"Lan Huang, you go!"

Tianming swung his right leg mid-charge, and countless blue and brown middlekin astrons on his thigh instantly condensed into the gigantic Primordial Terraqua Dragon. A two-headed dragon embodying towering mountains and vast galaxies surged forward with earth-shattering momentum.

As it curled its body like a pangolin, the nine kui mountains on its back spun into a violent frenzy, transforming into a super sword wheel that mirrored its opponent’s weapon before erupting with power. This was Myriadkui Ascension, Lan Huang's new ability which could destroy cosmic constellations. It was the ultimate nemesis.

The two colossal sword wheels collided with a deafening, ear-piercing screech that ruptured the eardrums of many cosmic gods.

“Immortalflame Constellation!”

Lan Huang was merely blasted back and bloodied. Despite Yueling Li's superior power, the Immortalflame Constellation collapsed, forcing him to frantically condense into a distorted humanoid form amidst the chaos.

In a flash, Tianming reappeared in front of him, and the Grand-Orient Sword cut through the air once more.

Worldsplitter Thrice Divine, Third Slash—Chaos Era!

From rending the cosmos and severing the past and present to the final strike that brought an era into disarray. As the final stroke in a devastating sequence, this third slash was the ultimate sword technique of the flameyellow divinities, merging together the many orders of ancient flameyellow imperatores into a cataclysmic blow that could end an entire era.

The Grand-Orient Sword moved in flawless coordination to deliver this strike. In the chaos, Yueling Li was appalled to see what appeared like billions of flameyellow divinities above him, bearing down on him like the weight of an entire world.

"No!" His screams were futile. He was powerless to stop Tianming's crushing sword from obliterating him.

BOOM!

Yet another quasi-imperator exploded!

***

"Another imperial son is dead!"

"Yueling Starcage must be crazy right now!"

The spectators were completely stunned. They were unable to look away from the core area of Yueling Starcage, where they were almost hysterical and consumed by anguish. Slumped to the ground in tears, Yueling Xiao certainly regretted ever setting foot on Nullity to confront Li Muyang.

However, the man was already dead and they had no choice but to accept it.

“Mother, what should we do...” Yueling Zhao was utterly dumbstruck, her expression vacant, as if lost in a dream.

It wasn't until this moment that Imperator Ji truly felt the sting of profound heartbreak. She took a deep breath and suddenly disappeared. The Yueling cosmic gods could only wait in silence. Some time later, Imperator Ji finally returned to their side, her complexion noticeably improved.

Yueling Xiao quickly approached her, whispering, “You went to see the Adjudicator didn’t you?”

“Yes.” Imperator Ji nodded.

“What did the Adjudicator say?” Yueling Xiao nervously asked. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

“I suggested something, and he agreed to give it a try,” Imperator Ji replied.

“What did you suggest?” A fierce gleam appeared in Yueling Xiao’s eyes as he saw a clear ray of hope.

Glancing at him helplessly, Imperator Ji said, "Father, it's better if you don't know. Behave yourself from now on and don't take matters into your own hands again."

"Of course. Still, you should warn me... My heart is breaking, losing three grandchildren one after another,” Yueling Xiao said bitterly.

Imperator Ji pursed her lips, and finally said, “It involves dazzling radiances."
