"Is it you?"

Zhan Bai clearly saw the black-robed figure in front of him, his expression changed, and there was astonishment in his eyes.

His mind flashed back to hundreds of thousands of years ago—

A powerless ant was frozen in the void by him, and as he pressed down with a finger, the body collapsed and dissipated, the breath of life suddenly extinguished, completely vanishing into the cosmos...

He was still alive!

How was this possible?

"You didn't die."

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, Zhan Bai clearly remembered Wang Xu's life aura, "Could it be that you have a second life?"

The cosmos is vast, and strange events have never ceased.

The resurrection of the dead is not surprising.

"A second life... you could say that."

Wang Xu said coldly, "Thanks to you, you've gifted me a great fortune. I must 'thank' you properly for that."

If Wang Xu had not died, Fen You would not have sacrificed themselves to reshape Wang Xu's life.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Xu was reborn in chaos, rising all the way to achieve his current accomplishments.

All of this, at its root, stemmed from that event.

"Hmph! Hundreds of thousands of years ago, you were an ant in the Mixed Universe Realm. Even if you weren't dead and ascended to a Billion Era Celestial God, in my eyes, you are ultimately like an ant. I will make you understand that my authority is not something you can challenge!"

Zhan Bai's face turned cold, and a fearful aura of the Saint Venerable Realm rushed straight towards Wang Xu.

The gap between the Saint Venerable Realm and the Celestial God Realm, even just the emitted aura, was enough to press a Celestial God Realm being to kneel on the ground.

Woosh!

Wang Xu waved his hand casually.

All the terrifying aura fluctuations vanished without a trace.

"Hmm?!"

Zhan Bai's pupils suddenly contracted.

This truly shocked him.

A Billion Era Celestial God, in front of a Saint Venerable Realm, would naturally feel fear due to the life level disparity between them. Not trembling could be explained by strong willpower, but the aura was real, how could it be casually dispelled by a Billion Era Celestial God?

"This boy has such powerful strength!"

In the distance, Black River Saint Venerable, who had barely gotten a chance to catch his breath, was equally shocked by this scene.

He had never seen a Billion Era Celestial God remain so calm and composed in front of a Saint Venerable Realm, to the point where even the powerful aura could not affect him.

This person... what kind of existence is he truly?

"You think this little bit of strength allows you to act arrogantly in front of me? Die!"

The dispelled aura was tantamount to a resounding slap to Zhan Bai's face. It was laughable that a Saint Venerable Realm expert couldn't resolve a Billion Era Celestial God in a head-on encounter.

Zhan Bai pointed a finger, identical to the technique used hundreds of thousands of years ago. The Cosmic Law descended, and the terrifying power of the Saint Venerable Realm overwhelmingly pressed towards Wang Xu.

Wang Xu's gaze turned colder.

The scenes of the past appeared in his mind.

"Mom and Dad... Tang Yan... Wang Zhe... Princess Bing Qing..."

Time seemed to trace back to that desperate moment, but the present is not the same as the past. Previously powerless to change everything, Wang Xu now holds absolute power!

"Everything lost, I will retrieve it all!"

In an instant, the void roared, and the entire Dark Sacred Cosmos trembled.

The surrounding observers were all astonished.

"What's happening?"

"What transpired?"

"The aura... ancient aura... it emanates from that uninvited guest!"

The desolate aura from ancient times seemed to manifest as a domineering figure that ruled over the world, reappearing in this realm.

And the source of all that aura dominance was precisely the Billion Era Celestial God in the black robe, stirring wildly in the void.

"What?!"

Zhan Bai, being closest to Wang Xu, naturally felt it most profoundly, "This kind of aura absolutely cannot appear in the Ancient Luo Cosmos... could it be..."

Zhan Bai knew far more than others. From the Domain Demon Divine Sect in the Heaven-Reaching Mirror, it could be seen that chaos was no secret to him.

Realizing this, Zhan Bai's expression changed.

"Heaven-Reaching Tower!"

Immediately, Zhan Bai's offensive changed, summoning the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The cosmos's strongest, actually resorting to using the Heaven-Reaching Tower to deal with a Billion Era Celestial God.

Such an occurrence would be unbelievable if told, yet it was precisely unveiling before everyone's eyes at this moment.

"No matter what fortune you've gained, achieving such power, in front of me, you're still an ant, an ant! Die!"

Zhan Bai seemed frenzied, controlling the Heaven-Reaching Tower, fiercely pressing it down towards Wang Xu.

This strike could be considered Zhan Bai's strongest blow.

The power of the Heaven-Reaching Tower was unrivaled. For this, he was willing to become a slave, exchanging for a Chaos Array Talisman from the Domain Demon Divine Master, just to seize the Heaven-Reaching Tower from the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, becoming invincible in the cosmos.

The Heaven-Reaching Tower, combined with Zhan Bai's exerted power of the Saint Venerable Realm, not even Black River Saint Venerable could withstand it safely!

"God-Suppressing!"

Suddenly, a vast and boundless voice of authority resounded from the horizon, echoing between heaven and earth.

Everyone present was stunned by this voice, looking around in panic, at a loss.

Like a primordial aura permeating the air—

Boom!

The clouds shattered, and a giant golden hand descended with endless might!

"Die!"

This time, Wang Xu released the roar of his pent-up anger over many years.

All the humiliation endured, all the hatred borne, and the undying fury buried deep in Wang Xu's heart... at this moment, all was unleashed with this strike.

Boom boom boom!

The golden giant palm struck the Heaven-Reaching Tower apart; what of it being the Cosmos's number one treasure? In the end, it was merely a weapon forged by some super-powerful being.

In the presence of the formidable flesh of the ancients, no matter how powerful a treasure it was, it was ultimately smoke and mist!

"No... no... no!"

Zhan Bai's eyes widened to the size of copper bells.

He took out all the treasures he had accumulated over a lifetime, trying to withstand this strike from Wang Xu.

But no matter the treasure, none could change his fate at this moment.

Boom!

The golden giant palm mercilessly pressed Zhan Bai down, all the spectators frantically retreated, the terrifying power leaving them bewildered and scared.

Who said this Hundred Generations Celestial God was an ant?

In front of this golden giant palm, they were the true ants!

The void shattered, all the once magnificent structures completely disappeared, lost in the terrifying power.

The Dark Sacred Cosmos was completely torn open, temporal storms raged out, sweeping across the Inner Cosmos.

"Ha... ha... ha..."

Wang Xu's breath weakened to the extreme, the desperate strike made it incredibly difficult for him to even open his eyes.

Having just recovered, using his right hand again, Wang Xu's Divine Country began to wobble, showing cracks.

"Wang Xu! How are you?"

The Sovereign of Tai Long Country sensed the shaking of the Divine Country and expressed concern.

"Sovereign, don't worry, I'm fine." By his side, Wang Xu's clone, who had been guarding him all along, shook his head with a slight pallor, offering comfort.

Zhan Bai's life aura had completely dissipated; Wang Xu sat cross-legged in the temporal storm, taking Divine Medicine.

"Dead?"

"The Dark Saint Venerable... just died like that?"

"Is this... am I dreaming?"

The Billion Era Celestial Gods belonging to the Light Holy Banquet's side revealed their forms, all in disbelief, eyes wide open.

They had repeatedly ventured, paying the price of countless lives to contend with the Dark Holy Banquet for so many years, yet they never expected the final outcome to be like this.

"No! The Divine Master is still alive!"

"That's right, the 'Holy Smoke' on us hasn't dispersed. If the Divine Master died, the Holy Smoke would cease to exist, meaning the Divine Master must still be alive!"

On the other side, Zhan Bai's life aura's dissipation made the Supreme Kings of the Dark Holy Banquet panic.

However, they quickly realized that the Holy Smoke on them hadn't dispersed, indicating that the Dark Saint Venerable who granted them the Holy Smoke hadn't truly died.

At this moment—

"Hahaha... hahahaha..."

A wildly arrogant laughter approached from afar, a white streak of light flashed into the battlefield.

Wang Xu's expression slightly darkened.

"Kid, unexpected, wasn't it! This is my second life, prepared precisely to prevent today's occurrence!"

The one issuing this arrogant laughter, who else but the Dark Saint Venerable Zhan Bai?

Second life... he actually had such means!

The Black River Saint Venerable and others held their breath, a dash of gloom in their eyes.

Turns out, they worked hard for so many years, unable to defeat even Zhan Bai's first life, let alone the second life?

If truly they exerted all their strength, believing they had slain Zhan Bai, then suddenly his second life appeared, how would they have any strength left for resistance?

The Supreme Kings of the Dark Holy Banquet, however, burst into laughter.

"Haha... look at your current sorry state. With your realm, using that strike must have exhausted you entirely, hasn't it? Do you still have any strength left?" Zhan Bai taunted with a mischievous smile, "I said before, to me, you're just an ant. No matter how strong you are, this fact will never change!"

"But, as a 'return' for you killing my first life, I will let you watch a 'good show'!"

Zhan Bai gave a cruel smile, raising his hand where light fluctuated, and in his palm appeared a green sphere.

From the aura wafting from this green sphere, one could tell it was a space treasure.

"Widen your eyes and take a good look at them!" Zhan Bai waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Thousands of figures suddenly appeared.

Wang Xu's pupils sharply contracted, fists clenched.

"This... these are disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, along with the Supreme Elder of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion!"

"Look at their mangled flesh, just how much inhuman torture they have endured? Damn the Dark Saint Venerable!!"

"The members of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion..."

The Black River Saint Venerable and all the Billion Era Celestial Gods' eyes widened with fury.

These thousands of figures were precisely the disciples, Hall Master, and Supreme Elders of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion captured back then.

At this moment, each and every one of them appeared weak, their life aura plummeted to the freezing point, their bodies bloodied, struggling to open their eyes.

"Haha... kid, how do you feel seeing old friends? Rest assured, they will watch you die, and after you die, I will torture them one by one until death, haha..."

Zhan Bai laughed arrogantly.

"Lu Chen Senior Brother!"

"Qing Zhang Master!"

"Fellow Junior Brothers!"

Wang Xu's gaze gradually turned icy.

With a blank expression, he raised a fist.

"Hei Ya, Divine Wind, Bai Lan, capture him alive for me."

Cold words uttered, followed by three terrifying presences surged forth, so powerful that they caused the Cosmic Law of the Dark Sacred Cosmos to tremble. (To be continued.
