"Relinquish control of the Lei Xiao Star Field? Hahaha! Who do you think you are, Xuan He or Ming Hao? Do you truly believe you are the Bloodthirsty New Sovereign Lord?" grinned menacingly, his left and right hands sweeping outward. Bolts of lightning and thunder condensed, transforming into a colossal serpent of electricity several thousand meters long, which roared as it lunged to devour .

"Sovereign Lord, allow me," suddenly roared, stepping forward.

With a flick of his sleeve, thousands of silver orbs carrying the oppressive energy of the Thunder Scourge surged toward the giant lightning serpent. Upon collision, lightning flashed everywhere, thunder violently shook the void, and space itself seemed to collapse.

had once been the Deputy Alliance Master of the Lei Xiao Alliance and also cultivated lightning. His cultivation realm was identical to 's. The reason he had lived in obscurity all these years was not out of fear of himself.

He feared the Bradley family behind , he feared the entire Divine Clan, and he feared the true annihilation of the Lei Xiao Alliance and the Lei Xiao Star Field.

Now, having received 's assurances, the fear in his heart was severed. He finally dared to stand up, daring to proclaim his true name: ", I tell you today, the Lei Bao you have been searching for is this old man!"

"So, you are the one who slipped through the net!" flinched before grinning wider. "Excellent. Once you are dead, the Lei Xiao Alliance will truly be extinguished without a single flicker of light remaining, and this Lei Xiao Star Field will finally submit. I shall send you on your way now."

Upon hearing 's words, and hardened their resolve and prepared to step forward and fight.

"Your opponents are those over there," walked over, placing himself in front of them, and gestured toward the Divine Clan guards stationed on the palace watchtowers beside him.

and were utterly stunned.

They had come prepared for death, ready to clash with and the two experts at the Second Heaven of the Origin God realm. They were prepared to sacrifice themselves for , willing to detonate their Soul Altars to inflict heavy damage on and his two companions first.

At this critical juncture, 's sudden instruction left them completely bewildered.

"Intent is sufficient," smiled, patting their shoulders, and strode toward and .

He touched the center of his brow. Two streams of blood-red light flew out from his Origin World, materializing into a sword and a shield, both the color of fresh blood. Wielding the sword in one hand and the shield in the other, he looked at and . His eyes instantly flared a deep crimson, and a towering killing aura, dense as a surging blood ocean, rolled out to engulf them.

The eyes upon the blood sword suddenly snapped open, all focusing on and .

In that instant, and felt as if they were submerged in an endless sea of blood, seeing piles of corpses, their very souls seemingly frozen by a mountain of blood and bone. Their minds were profoundly shaken.

This was an assault of sheer malevolence reaching the depths of the soul!

Even and , at the Second Heaven of the Origin God realm, instantly suffered mental disorientation, their insides churning with anxiety, their blood burning like fire. Their usual composure and indifference instantly collapsed.

"Severing the Heart's Chaos!"

's pupils suddenly turned dark cyan, and he let out a fierce shout. Immediately, a beam of icy light pierced through from beyond the sky, instantly severing the evil thoughts in his heart.

His gaze immediately regained clarity and calm.

A point of cold light materialized on his brow, suddenly expanding infinitely to become a towering, frigid, crystal-clear ice peak. This peak was ten thousand zhang high and covered an area of a hundred acres, glittering with cold light and containing the true essence of the Ice Great Dao. It spun mesmerizingly, refracting millions of icy rays that rained down upon like icy sleet.

The instant regained his composure, 's physical body was jolted awake by a trace of chill. A blazing flame symbol appeared on his forehead, radiating terrifying heat like the sun.

In a flash, 's figure was enveloped by this flame symbol. He transformed into a massive fireball, releasing scorching heat that perfectly and miraculously merged with 's profound coldness, jointly pressuring .

"Ice and Fire Purgatory!"

and roared simultaneously. The frigid, crystal-clear ice peak suddenly settled atop the surging ball of fire. Between the flames and the ice, dual forces of extreme cold and intense heat alternated, making one feel as if they were trapped in purgatory, enduring endless torment.

, , and were not far apart. In the aftermath of the alternating extreme cold and heat, their faces cycled between pale and red, their bodies alternating between burning heat and bone-chilling cold. Their Divine Power became completely chaotic, and even their Soul Altars grew extremely unstable.

The combined attack of and had fused the profound mysteries of extreme cold and heat in a unique manner, creating a terrifying power capable of affecting Divine Power and Soul Altars, thus constraining their opponents so they could not unleash their true strength.

Only at the First Heaven of the Origin God realm, and , looked haggard under the combined assault of ice and fire from the two Second Heaven Origin Gods, constantly retreating, their eyes filled with terror.

At this moment, they realized that the disparity in realms was indeed an insurmountable chasm, and a sense of powerlessness surged within them.

Then, their spirits shook. They suddenly remembered that they were not and true targets; they were merely collateral damage. They simultaneously looked toward .

and froze for a moment.

Under their gaze, stood firm as an age-old boulder. Under the impact of millions of icy rays, his figure remained motionless. The icy beams shot toward him like arrows but were entirely blocked by a blood-red shield.

Surprisingly, the icy rays did not shatter but dissolved into the crimson cloud mark at the center of the blood shield.

As for the spreading 'Ice and Fire Purgatory,' seemed completely unaffected. Holding the blood sword in one hand, his divine body rapidly transformed, shifting into the form of the Undying Demon Race's Immortal Body. The energy fluctuations emanating from him began to climb at a terrifying pace.

Soon, and realized that the energy fluctuations from now surpassed theirs and that of , matching that of and without the slightest inferiority.

"Truly worthy of being the Bloodthirsty New Sovereign Lord; beyond our ability to measure," praised, then felt reassured. He said to , "Perhaps we should heed his advice and help him deal with the peripheral figures. We should leave the tough nuts for him to handle."

"I agree," nodded.

The two immediately shifted their targets, scattering to engage the Divine Clan guards.

In an instant, chaos erupted around the Lei Xiao Celestial Pool. Numerous beautiful hounds wearing collars fled desperately, looking distraught, hoping to escape as quickly as possible.

The battle occurring at the Lei Xiao Celestial Pool involved power ripples that even a slight brush against them could instantly reduce them to ash.

The alternating waves of extreme cold and heat lashed against like successive ocean tides.

remained unmoved.

Within the spatial rift, he understood the true profundity of the blood sword and shield through the 'Ring Spirit.' From that moment, his power had ascended a tier.

Through the tempering of slaughter during this period, his mastery of the blood sword and shield grew increasingly proficient. Coupled with the exquisite integration of three profound mysteries and the explosive power of different forces, he dared to seek battle against three Second Heaven Origin Gods, knowing the risk.

Because he was confident he could kill those three!

"Today, I shall borrow the physical bodies of you three to help me ascend to a new height."

's eyes turned blood-red, his thoughts shifting. The blood shield transformed into crimson clouds, each enveloping a part of him, perfectly merging with his Undying Body. The demon blood within him boiled, as if completely activated, granting him boundless strength throughout his entire being.

A dazzling river of stars pierced out from the center of his brow. This stellar river was dazzlingly bright, yet crimson blood lines writhed within it, as if the river possessed human sinews—utterly bizarre.

The river of stars shot out toward and , gradually becoming ethereal, as if vanishing from space, making it impossible for their souls to lock onto it.

Suddenly, the river of stars became intensely clear!

Upon clarifying, the river of stars had already pierced into the extreme cold ice peak condensed by , acting like a sharp blade stabbing fiercely into the peak!

It possessed the keen edge of spatial cutting!

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

That extremely vast and magnificent ice peak shattered under the assault of the suddenly sharp river of stars, fragmenting into tens of millions of ice blocks of varying sizes, which then disappeared back into 's body one by one.

"How can you possess such terrifying power!" The armor on 's Indestructible Divine Body cracked like the shattered ice peak. Numerous fine blood marks appeared on him, as if he had been sliced by many shears, leaving him in a terribly battered state.

"If I didn't possess this power, why would I dare come seeking a battle against the three of you?" snarled, stepping forward and transforming into a streak of meteor, suddenly falling toward the scorching ball of fire erupting from 's Origin World. "Don't you know I have fused with the origin of the Ancient Continent? How dare you play with fire in front of me?"

opened his mouth and exhaled. Bunches of fireballs of different colors surged out, hanging beside him like burning lanterns.

As soon as those fireballs appeared, the unique aura of Celestial Fire immediately spread. 's released flames rapidly retracted, like lower-grade beings instinctively trying to flee from higher-grade creatures.

"Ice Fire Interwoven!"

and 's expressions changed drastically. After exchanging a glance, they shouted in unison.

The ice blocks absorbed by shot out from his body like cannonballs, all falling into 's fireballs. The fireballs, now filled with ice blocks, did not extinguish. Instead, a strange, mysterious power was generated within them, an extremely terrifying yet highly unstable fluctuation.

After unleashing this combined profound mystery, and also looked fearful, seemingly worried that some trouble might arise.

This merged profound mystery was clearly something they had not fully mastered; they would not use it lightly unless absolutely forced.

The fireballs filled with ice began to expand rapidly, like a balloon about to burst, with terrifying fluctuations erupting from within.

It was like a planet on the verge of explosion!

For the first time, 's expression changed. He praised, "Ice and fire are fundamentally incompatible. It is remarkable that you two could reach this level. Unfortunately, it is still not perfect; the fusion speed is too slow, and you lack the capability to fully control it."

He immediately rotated his Altar, and his profound mystery shifted rapidly. The river of stars bizarrely transformed into a spatial rift, moving to influence the rapidly expanding fireball.

Suddenly, a spatial force that did not belong to him infiltrated subtly, altering his river of stars.

Within that river of stars, a void channel quietly appeared. This channel unexpectedly possessed a pulling force that perfectly aligned with his intent.

The rapidly exploding fireball was abruptly drawn into the river of stars and transferred to an unknown location via that channel.

and instantly lost their perceptual connection, causing their Divine Power within their bodies to drain by more than half. Their faces turned ashen, and fear welled up in their hearts.

At this moment, they knew clearly that their survival was highly unlikely.
