Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!

In the unknown Void, Qin Wudao and the Eye of the Great Dao faced each other, a distance of tens of thousands of miles spanning between them.

Behind each of them was a majestic world, representing the most powerful forces of their respective territories. Their boundless might seemed capable of shattering heaven and earth.

Behind the Eye of the Great Dao lay the Realm of Thunder Prison, where countless thunderbolts flickered, ranging from the weakest lightning to the most potent world-destroying thunder, too numerous to count.

Behind Qin Wudao lay the Netherworld of Yellow Spring, where countless aggrieved souls roared. The wheel of Reincarnation turned, all eighteen layers of hell gaped open, exuding a unique Power of Laws.

"You deserve to die!" the Eye of the Great Dao glared at Qin Wudao, howling in rage.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hundreds of millions of heavenly thunders flew out from the Realm of Thunder Prison, their imposing presence obscuring the sky and sun, carrying an unparalleled destructive power.

A suffocating killing intent emerged from the heavenly thunders, staining the Void crimson as if billions of lives had perished, creating a vast and profound force of causality that lingered.

Such potent killing intent! Qin Wudao's eyebrows rose slightly; a chill crept into his heart.

Ordinarily, the Great Dao itself should not generate killing intent, because the heavenly punishments it sent down were always in accordance with rules and order, untainted by causality.

But now, the heavenly thunders were mixed with killing intent and causal forces, indicating that the Great Dao had violated its own rules, killing numerous beings based on its own will.

Block it! At Qin Wudao's mental command, countless blood-red flowers bloomed across the firmament. Each one was delicate and vibrant, swaying in the fierce wind, appearing incredibly fragile.

Where these flowers bloomed, that was the Other Shore!

As the heavenly thunders drew close, petals from these countless flowers tore through the Void, forming a barrier—the Other Shore—that isolated everything.

RUMBLE!

The heavenly thunders fell, disappearing entirely into this Other Shore, leaving nothing behind.

Several minutes later, the heavenly thunders dissipated, and the Other Shore faded into voidness.

"Great Dao, is this the extent of your power?" Qin Wudao leaned back on his black throne, his eyes narrowed as he spoke with disdain.

His voice, though not loud, spread across heaven and earth, reaching the ears of the myriad citizens in the Imperial Capital, instantly causing an uproar.

Numerous kneeling Martial Artists looked up in utter shock.

In the Void above, they saw a black throne. Upon it sat their sovereign, Qin Wudao, directly facing the Eye of the Great Dao.

"Your... Your Majesty, how dares he sit on equal terms with the Great Dao?" an elderly man stammered, deeply unsettled.

In his view, the Great Dao was supreme. To sit as an equal with the Great Dao was an act of profound disrespect.

"And why can't he sit on equal terms with the Great Dao? This shows His Majesty does not fear the Great Dao! From this day forward, I too shall not kneel to the Great Dao!"

Of course, a portion of younger Martial Artists held the opposite view. They stood up, their blood pumping with excitement, their fear of the Great Dao plummeting to an all-time low.

The conviction in the Great Dao's dominion over the mortal realm had cracked.

Playing chess with the heavens... As expected of the Star of Ziwei... Outside the Imperial Capital, an old blind man who had rushed over from afar mumbled to himself. His previously sunken eyes now shone with a brilliant light, clearly discerning the scene unfolding in the nine heavens.

「In the Imperial Physician's院」

Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Xiang Yu, and others waited with worried expressions, their anxiety palpable.

The Eye of the Great Dao showed a flicker of surprise. A purple heavenly thunder, several hundred thousand zhang in size, was coalescing behind it, charged with an annihilating force.

It was the World-Ending Heavenly Thunder! This heavenly thunder was rumored to be capable of destroying a world and reshaping the cosmos.

Qin Wudao frowned slightly. From the emotions relayed by the Netherworld of Yellow Spring, he sensed a trace of fear and awe.

After all, the Netherworld of Yellow Spring was not a complete world. Furthermore, considering its recent creation, it was certainly no match for the Great Dao.

Besides, if the Netherworld of Yellow Spring had been stronger than the Great Dao, the Supreme of Yellow Spring would not have perished.

The Netherworld of Yellow Spring was formed with the 'Supreme Mark' as its core. I wonder if adding the 'Heavenly Mark' and 'Dao Mark' would enhance its power? The Dao Marks possess immense might. One 'Supreme Mark' established the Netherworld of Yellow Spring; what about adding two more? Would its power multiply?

In this moment of crisis, a daring idea sprouted in Qin Wudao's mind.

Thinking of this, Qin Wudao immediately began to act, imbuing the 'Heavenly Mark' with his divine consciousness.

Heavenly Mark, merge! Qin Wudao commanded inwardly, fusing the 'Heavenly Mark' into the Netherworld of Yellow Spring.

BUZZZ...

The Netherworld of Yellow Spring began to tremble. Black Yin Qi roiled as its area expanded countless times, becoming even larger than the Realm of Thunder Prison behind the Eye of the Great Dao.

PFFT!

Qin Wudao's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the Netherworld of Yellow Spring had expanded, the 'Heavenly Mark' and 'Supreme Mark' were two different types of power. Forcibly introducing them into the Netherworld of Yellow Spring had caused a powerful backlash.

At this moment, the two powers were vying for control of the Netherworld of Yellow Spring!

The Heavenly Mark? Excellent! I never expected to find the 'Heavenly Mark'! The Eye of the Great Dao, upon seeing the 'Heavenly Mark' emerge from Qin Wudao's body, revealed intense greed. Murderous intent flashed within it as it condensed several more World-Ending Heavenly Thunders.

Five World-Ending Heavenly Thunders materialized, suspended in the air, then struck towards Qin Wudao.

Wherever the thunders passed, everything disintegrated—be it space-time, causality, or Reincarnation, all were utterly obliterated.

Even Rule Power had to give way!

Enough! Settle down! Qin Wudao roared internally, forcibly suppressing the 'Heavenly Mark' and 'Supreme Mark', while simultaneously mobilizing the power of both Dao Marks to resist the World-Ending Heavenly Thunders.

RUMBLE!

The River of Forgetfulness surged out from the Netherworld of Yellow Spring, transforming into a colossal red-and-white dragon. It coiled in the sky, several hundred thousand zhang in length, even larger than the East Ancient Domain.

It overlooked the five World-Ending Heavenly Thunders, flickering with a dangerous brilliance. Its left eye glowed blood-red, wreathed in the unique laws of the Netherworld; its right eye was white, emanating a Power of Laws akin to that of the Great Dao.

ROAR!

The dragon roared and dived, shattering all the powers of heaven and earth. Its red and white scales all bristled, forming a protective shield of laws, and then it collided with the five World-Ending Heavenly Thunders.

BOOM!

The first World-Ending Heavenly Thunder struck, and the dragon's body shrank by a thousand zhang!

BOOM! BOOM!

The second World-Ending Heavenly Thunder fell, and the dragon shrank by ten thousand zhang; the light of the laws on its body dimmed.

The third World-Ending Heavenly Thunder descended, and the dragon shrank again by ten thousand zhang. A scar appeared on its head, making it look incredibly ferocious!

BOOM! BOOM!

Then, the fourth World-Ending Heavenly Thunder plummeted. The dragon let out a pained roar, and its shield of laws shattered.

Finally, the fifth World-Ending Heavenly Thunder tore through the Heavenly Universe. Its terrifying, world-annihilating power directly dispersed the dragon, reverting it to the flowing River of Forgetfulness.

The turbulent river, carrying a potent corrosive force, struck the Realm of Thunder Prison behind the Eye of the Great Dao, corroding the power of billions of lightning bolts until nothing remained.

The Eye of the Great Dao retreated half a step. A black light swirled within its depths, emitting an aura even more terrifying than the World-Ending Heavenly Thunder.

Qin Wudao was slightly taken aback but remained on high alert, knowing the Eye of the Great Dao still had other stratagems.

Just then, a seven-colored light drifted by, interposing itself before the Eye of the Great Dao and sealing all its power.

Is this Rule Power? Qin Wudao mused, his pupils constricting. From this Rule Power, he sensed an aura no weaker than that of the Eye of the Great Dao.

A few breaths later, the Eye of the Great Dao cast a reluctant glance at Qin Wudao before slowly dissipating, returning to nothingness.

The seven-colored Rule Power also vanished, as if it had never appeared.

It's finally gone! Qin Wudao sighed in relief, then stepped into the Netherworld of Yellow Spring and returned to the subterranean Netherworld.

Above the Imperial Capital, the dark clouds dispersed, and warm sunlight spilled down. Feeling the sun's warmth, everyone shared a collective sense of lingering terror and profound relief at having survived a brush with death.

The old blind man had already reached the gates of the Imperial Capital. He murmured to himself, Besting Heaven by a narrow margin! then let out a hearty laugh.
