The Annihilation Elder roared in agony, swiftly dodging sideways. Six of his nine tails were severed, and his spine was shattered into fragments—his body was on the verge of disintegration.
Now, he had reverted to human form, standing amidst the Boundary Sea, his body shrouded in thick black mist. His cold eyes glared at Shi Hao.
He had actually lost!
In the distance, the Feather Emperor, the Hong Emperor, and the Cang Emperor were shaken. Even the Annihilation Elder had been defeated—this was truly terrifying. No wonder Shi Hao had been able to fight them for so long!
Drenched in blood, the Annihilation Elder trembled—not from pain, but from the overwhelming killing intent radiating from him, a reflection of his turbulent emotions.
Slowly, he raised his hand, transforming it into a claw as he pointed at Shi Hao.
**”Nine Netherworlds Annihilation!”**
With a thunderous roar, black mist surged behind him as his body erupted with dark radiance, coalescing into a colossal manifestation of himself—a towering figure standing amidst the boundless Boundary Sea.
A deafening boom echoed as a massive shadow took shape behind him—the form of a Nine Netherworld Beast, vast and boundless, descending upon Shi Hao with crushing force.
The Annihilation Elder’s body merged with the manifestation, his true form and projection becoming one, unleashing an aura of world-ending destruction. The great cosmos crumbled, and shattered realms turned to ash.
The Boundary Sea, composed of countless broken worlds, now trembled and collapsed under the force of his ultimate strike.
**”ROAR!”**
A monstrous beast’s howl shook the heavens as a terrifying claw blotted out the sky.
But the most horrifying sight was the nine chains of order piercing through the cosmos, draining the essence of worlds from the Boundary Sea before sweeping toward Shi Hao in a devastating attack.
This was an earth-shattering battle—the final clash where the Nine Netherworld Beast fought with its life on the line.
Shi Hao was far from passive. His body erupted with boundless light, his wounds glowing with crystalline brilliance as he unleashed his supreme aura.
At this critical moment, his spirit burned like sacred fire, his essence refined to perfection.
**”BOOM!”**
The decisive strike erupted as the two collided.
**”CRACK!”**
Shi Hao’s chest was pierced, blood gushing, yet he clamped down on the beast’s claw with his own body and shattered it with sheer force.
**”ROAR—!”**
The beast’s howl echoed across time itself, resonating through countless eras. Many believed it to be the wrath of the heavens.
**”SPLAT!”**
The Annihilation Elder’s manifestation was shattered, his true body torn apart and obliterated by Shi Hao’s strike.
The elder’s soul-fire attempted to flee, but Shi Hao intercepted him, wielding the Law Cauldron to seal his escape.
**”You brat!”** The elder’s soul, shaped like a Nine Netherworld Beast, roared in fury, flames and blood swirling around him.
Never before had he been defeated—even the Cang Emperor and Hong Emperor revered him as an elder. Yet now, he faced utter ruin.
**”THUD!”**
Shi Hao unleashed an unparalleled sword technique, severing the elder’s soul-light and sealing his fate.
The Law Cauldron trembled, divine chains binding the shattered remnants of the elder’s soul, dragging him into its depths.
The once-invincible progenitor of the Nine Netherworld Beasts—the Annihilation Elder—had been sealed!
In the distance, the Feather Emperor, Hong Emperor, and Cang Emperor paled. Their ally, the first to ascend to Quasi-Immortal Emperor status, had fallen.
Now, they were trapped, their energy depleted, their bodies on the verge of collapse.
**”I refuse to accept this!”** The Cang Emperor howled.
But resistance was futile.
Shi Hao showed no mercy. With a single slash, the Cang Emperor’s head flew, his soul severed and sealed within the Law Cauldron.
The Hong Emperor and Feather Emperor fought desperately, but against Shi Hao’s overwhelming might, they stood no chance.
The Hong Emperor was torn apart, his head seized and his soul imprisoned.
The Feather Emperor, defiant to the end, was ripped in half, his ancient wings torn from his body before his soul was crushed.
The battle was witnessed by many, and soon, cries of **”Huang Tian Di!”** (Emperor Shi Hao) echoed across the realms.
The great calamity had been averted.
But the devastation remained.
Shi Hao strode across the battlefield, annihilating the remaining dark creatures, reducing their strongholds to dust.
The Immortal Domain lay in ruins, its people mourning their countless dead.
Many clans had been wiped out entirely.
Days passed before life began to return.
Celebrations erupted as the shadow of darkness lifted.
Yet Shi Hao felt only sorrow.
His comrades—Bird Master, the Crystal Skull, Cao Yuzheng, Chang Gongyan, the Banished Immortal—were gone.
His own son, his brothers—all lost.
Standing amidst graves, he howled at the heavens.
**”Is there reincarnation? Does it truly exist?!”**
His hair had turned half-white, his heart heavy with grief.
The surviving veterans stood by him, their eyes filled with tears.
In the distance, three figures watched silently.
Shi Hao turned his gaze toward the Boundary Sea, toward the ultimate land beyond.
There, he would find his answers.
