The Glass Holy Land, I see no need for its existence.

This strike surpassed the limits of the Sage King realm!

The boiling blood and qi surrounding the First Patriarch were completely suppressed by this ultimate killing intent! His pupils shrank violently as he felt an unprecedented threat of death!

The might of a Quasi-Emperor weapon was absolutely not something flesh and blood could withstand! He let out a wild roar, pushing his power to the absolute limit. Chaotic light and shadows condensed into a shield as he crossed his arms in front of him, making a final, desperate stand!

But anyone could see that in the face of this god-slaying strike, his defense was as fragile as paper!

A savage and gleeful smile had already appeared on Li Wuya's face. It was as if he could already see the scene of his opponent's body and soul being completely obliterated by the Quasi-Emperor weapon!

"It's over!" he roared in his heart.

However, at this critical, hair-raising moment—

"Screech—!"

A bird's cry that could pierce gold and crack stone, seemingly originating from the primordial era, echoed through the nine heavens without any warning!

This cry was no simple sound wave, but a supreme majesty that struck directly into the depths of the soul! It was as if the monarch of the entire sky was announcing its descent to the world!

The moment the cry rang out, time seemed to fall into a viscous mire.

The Weeping Blood Glazed Spear, which was originally faster than thought and carried an aura capable of destroying everything, actually slowed down at a visible rate.

The dark red blood threads entwined around the spear shaft let out sharp wails, as if they had encountered their natural nemesis!

The light between heaven and earth suddenly dimmed. It wasn't clouds obscuring the sun, but the shadow of an indescribably massive wing that had quietly covered the firmament!

What a majestic and ferocious bird it was!

Its feathers were a deep, profound pitch-black that seemed capable of absorbing all light, yet a faint dark-gold luster flowed along their edges, as if forged from the entire night sky and the stars combined!

Its body was so colossal that it blotted out half the sky. When it spread its wings, the shadow it cast plunged the tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers below into dusk!

Every single feather seemed to contain the weight of a small world, and the space at the edges of its wings cycled through constant annihilation and rebirth!

The most heart-palpitating aspect was its eyes.

Cold, sharp, and indifferent, they were like two eternally unchanging black stars, looking down upon the struggles of the mortal realm with an innate arrogance that reigned above all creation.

Under that gaze, it felt as though even the laws of heaven and earth had to submit.

At this moment, Little Black no longer had a trace of its usual laziness.

It merely hovered high in the sky, yet the pressure it naturally exuded caused that fiercely renowned Quasi-Emperor spear, which carried incomplete Emperor-path killing laws, to freeze in its tracks, as if trapped in invisible amber!

The spear shaft trembled violently, letting out unwilling hums. The dark red blood threads entwined upon it writhed madly, but they could not break free from that omnipresent, terrifying restraint!

The savage and gleeful smile on Li Wuya's face froze instantly, turning into absolute horror!

Little Black's indifferent pupils shifted slightly, its gaze finally landing on the ceaselessly struggling Weeping Blood Glazed Spear.

It did not make any obvious attacking motion. It merely slowly raised its massive claw, covered in dark scales, and gave the void a gentle squeeze.

"Buzz—!"

An invisible yet even more grandiose confining force instantly descended!

That area of space seemed to be independently peeled away from the entire world. Time within it came to a complete standstill. All the berserk energy, fierce killing intent, and broken laws were forcibly frozen and solidified in this instant!

The incomplete Emperor-path killing laws condensed at the tip of the Weeping Blood Glazed Spear, which were enough to slaughter a Great Sage, seemed to crash into an invisible, indestructible wall of sighs. All of its impact and destructive power were instantly guided away, dispersed, and erased into nothingness!

The might of that terrifying strike, capable of tearing apart the firmament, was forcefully snuffed out in its infancy!

"No... Impossible!!"

Li Wuya roared, his voice cracking. His eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, and his Dao heart suffered an unprecedented shock at this moment!

The supreme strike of the Quasi-Emperor weapon, which he had unleashed with all his might at the cost of his own origin essence, was actually... actually erased so effortlessly by the other party?!

Down below, the First Patriarch, having survived the ordeal, let the chaotic light and shadows around him slowly dissipate. He let out a long sigh of relief, patting his chest with lingering fear. A trace of trepidation and introspection appeared on his face:

"Hiss... That was too close! The outside world is way too dangerous. Holy Lands truly cannot be underestimated; I almost bit the dust right after coming out! No, no, I have to train to the death when I get back. Otherwise, I won't even be able to protect my own disciple. Where would I put this old face of mine!"

Pausing for a moment, he looked up at the sky-obscuring black figure high above. A flash of genuine awe crossed his eyes as he muttered softly:

"So this is Changge's bird? It's really fucking strong!"

"It's Senior Little Black! My god! It... It was actually this powerful?!"

Xiao Ruobai's eyes burst with incredibly excited light. He knew Little Black was strong—it had once shattered a Sage weapon with a single cry—but he never expected it to be strong to this extent, able to effortlessly confine and neutralize the full-powered strike of a Quasi-Emperor weapon!

Standing to the side, Ling Xi's reaction was vastly different from that of Xiao Ruobai and Shi Wanshan.

Although a barely noticeable trace of relief appeared on her breathtakingly beautiful face, deep within her cold and clear eyes, a far more violent storm was brewing than in anyone else's, even carrying a hint of... unbelievable solemnity!

As a supreme existence who had once ascended to the Emperor throne and dominated an entire era, her horizons and perception far exceeded anyone present!

Xiao Ruobai and Shi Wanshan might just be shocked by the absolute power Little Black displayed, but what Ling Xi saw was the even more terrifying realm represented behind that power!

"To handle it so effortlessly... its mastery over space and energy has reached the pinnacle... This is absolutely not something an ordinary Sage-level entity could ever hope to achieve!"

Ling Xi's heart trembled violently. "This Little Black's strength... I'm afraid it's not far from the true Great Emperor realm!"

This judgment left her profoundly shocked.

The Great Emperor realm—that was the supreme domain she had spent endless years and experienced countless life-and-death struggles to finally step into during her past life!

Yet this black bird before her, seemingly just a spiritual pet, actually had strength approaching that level?

"Just what is its origin?! A mere spiritual pet under Master's seat actually possesses such heaven-shaking, earth-shattering abilities?"

Monstrous waves surged in the lake of Ling Xi's heart.

In her past life, she was a Great Emperor and also had mountain-protecting divine beasts under her command. They were incredibly powerful, but it was absolutely impossible for them to touch the threshold of the Emperor realm.

The strength Little Black displayed at this moment instantly elevated her awe and curiosity toward Gu Changge to an unprecedented height.

To be able to command a creature so close to the Emperor realm, just how unfathomably profound was her Master's true cultivation?

She couldn't help but recall everything since her rebirth: the tranquility and peace of Purple Bamboo Peak, her Master's lazy indifference, her senior brothers' stunning talents, and this ferocious black bird before her, which was enough to make many of her past life's opponents tremble in fear...

"The waters of Purple Bamboo Peak are far, far deeper than I ever imagined..."

Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Little Black hovered in the sky and indifferently glanced down at the pale-faced Li Wuya, whose Dao heart was on the verge of shattering.

A cold and majestic spiritual wave, like a decree of the Heavenly Dao, transmitted clearly into the sea of consciousness of every living being present:

"Touch my people..."

"And I see no need for the Glazed Holy Land to exist anymore."
