On the entire battlefield, the most perilous were the battles between the god beasts and the demon gods.

Li Muyang flew up and immediately joined the battlefield.

“Mu Yang!”

Yan Xiaoru, looking anxious and covered in blood, emerged from the midst of the demon gods.

She shouted to Li Muyang: “The array of the seven demon gods is complete!”

Cold raindrops had long been falling from the sky, with surging clouds rolling continuously above the ground, drizzling cold rain.

This was the array unleashed by the demon gods, an array spreading across the entire continent, possibly even the entire planet.

A… massive Rain Summoning Array.

In this moment, Li Muyang truly felt a bit puzzled.

The demon gods, facing their ultimate predicament, pulled out their last trump card, which was this… thing?

Global rainfall?

But even if you keep it raining and trigger a world-encompassing flood, it would still take a long time!

Moreover, god beasts and cultivators are not afraid of heavy rain.

Li Muyang looked incredibly bewildered at the group of demon gods outside Demon Sword City, unable to comprehend their actions.

He floated to the edge of the battlefield, observing the Divine Sovereign.

He found that the Divine Sovereign was also looking at him.

As their eyes met, a smile appeared on the face of the Divine Sovereign.

That kind of smile that shows complete confidence, with everything in control.

“You have lost, Ascendant.”

The Divine Sovereign smiled and said, “This grand array was originally prepared ten thousand years ago, intended to deal with those immortals.”

“But the curse of the five declines of the celestial beings in the Peaceful Realms saved us from that trouble, so this grand array has remained until now, and now it’s being used on you.”

“You should feel honored, Ascendant.”

Li Muyang’s gaze was icy as he glared fiercely at the group of demon gods, saying, “It’s just a Rain Summoning Array… even if torrential rains flood the entire world, can it possibly save you? You can last at most ten more days!”

The god beasts attacked frantically, and the demon gods struggled in their last stand, but they couldn’t hold on for much longer.

Their divine power would eventually be exhausted; the relentless attacks of the beasts left them no time to rest or heal, forcing them to fight with increasingly battered divine bodies.

This was a doomed stalemate, evident at a glance.

Yet the Divine Sovereign laughed, shaking his head, and said, “Ten days are enough. This world-spanning array will continually squeeze the spiritual energy of this realm, converting it into rainfall.”

“This large-scale spiritual energy siphoning will tip the already depleted Great Source out of balance.”

“This world’s broken Heavenly Dao has long been on the brink of collapse.”

“We don’t need to drain it dry, just applying a bit of weight on the near-depleted Great Source will trigger a lovely chain reaction, causing the entire Great Source to collapse.”

“Then you, who rely on nature’s spiritual energy to exist, cultivators, god beasts… hehe…”

The Divine Sovereign recounted with a smile, victory assured.

Li Muyang’s face suddenly changed drastically.

The decline of the Heavenly Dao, the depletion of the Great Source, was something he had long known.

Even a millennium ago, during the Peaceful Realms’ invasion, Little Wild Grass had mentioned the depletion of the Great Source.

After experiencing the dark chaos of a millennium ago and the collapse of celestial order, this planet’s Heavenly Dao would be even more incomplete.

Yet after another millennium of peace, the Heavenly Dao gradually restored, thus having the power to enlighten ascendants.

No one expected the group of demon gods to exploit the remnants of Heavenly Dao Power…

Li Muyang’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately rejoined everyone, explaining the situation clearly.

“We have no time to deal with these demon gods; we must disperse and destroy all the arrays we can, to stop this wide-ranging rain array!”

The cultivators immediately spread out, heading in all directions.

Li Muyang manically attacked the golden talismans in his view, shattering each divine light he encountered.

Where he passed, the heavy rain gradually ceased, and the sky began to clear.

Yet as Li Muyang flew rapidly, his expression gradually became despondent.

Because this planet was too vast!

Far more extensive than the Earth of his previous life, with land masses much larger than Earth’s.

He manically flew for one day and night, constantly taking pills to replenish the consumed mana, shattering arrays within a range of thirty thousand miles.

But such an area, for the entire world, was a mere drop in the ocean.

On the third day, a cold gleam rose from the depths of the earth, spreading across the entire planet in the blink of an eye.

The continuously rainy clouds collapsed the instant the cold gleam arose.

Simultaneously collapsing was the golden light array extending over the entire planet.

The spiritual energy in the air swiftly dried up.

Li Muyang clearly felt the world becoming desolate, the celestial rules in chaos.

His face turned somewhat pale.

“Defeated…”

He found it hard to accept this fact, but he was indeed defeated!

Once the world became barren and spiritual energy vanished, the demon gods would be able to survive comfortably.

For they had already transformed themselves into malevolent dead things, separating from this planet, becoming other kinds of malevolence.

The barrenness of nature’s spiritual energy would not affect them.

But all the god beasts attacking them would lose their power source as the spiritual energy vanished, rapidly losing combat strength…

Li Muyang descended dejectedly to the ground, standing alone in the desolate wilderness, looking around blankly.

At this moment, there was no one around him.

Because everyone had gone in different directions, striving with all their might to destroy the arrays.

Li Muyang stood in the wasteland all alone, without even a single person to speak to.

Lonely as he was, it seemed as though he had returned to when he first crossed over, alone.

At this instant, a strange mist arose in Li Muyang’s view.

The mist appeared incredibly bizarre, without the slightest forewarning, engulfing everything in Li Muyang’s view in the blink of an eye.

He looked at this mist, somewhat startled.

Within the fog, a familiar, withered corpse sat quietly.

It appeared incredibly weak, exhausted, more miserable than when he had seen it before.

Within the mist, the corpse lowered its head and emitted a low hoarse laughter.

“…You’ve endured, Li Muyang.”

The corpse hissed a bitter and strange laugh, lowering its head and murmuring: “You’ve accomplished everything possible in the shortest time.”

“But in the end, it was I who held you back, unable to hold on until the end…”

The withered corpse whispered hoarsely.

Li Muyang’s face changed greatly, “You are the Heavenly Dao?!”

At this moment, he finally understood the identity of the desiccated corpse!

Stunned beyond words!
