Seeing the spirit of the Imperial Weapon manifest on its own, its majestic voice echoing through heaven and earth, everyone in the Glazed Holy Land—from Holy Lord Li Wuya down to the ordinary disciples—felt their tightly strung heartstrings finally relax.
It was as if they had caught a glimpse of dawn in the endless darkness, and a profound sense of relief at surviving a catastrophe welled up within them.
"The spirit of the Imperial Weapon has awakened! We are saved!"
Some elders were so excited that their eyes filled with hot tears.
"With the Imperial Weapon recovering on its own and its deity personally presiding over it, its power will far exceed what we could unleash! It will definitely suppress this beast!"
Hope reignited in the eyes of another Great Sage.
Holy Lord Li Wuya stared fixedly at the sky, his face a mixture of lingering fear, humiliation, and a nearly twisted resentment, along with the savage joy of soon seeing his great vengeance fulfilled.
He roared madly in his heart: "It is awake! The spirit of the Imperial Weapon has fully awakened! You beast, your time of death has come! Let us see how you act so arrogantly before the foundation of my Holy Land!
I will skin you and rip out your tendons, and eternally suppress your soul beneath the Imperial Weapon. Only then can I vent the hatred in my heart!"
He could almost see the scene of Little Black being crushed to dust beneath the supreme divine might of the Imperial Weapon's spirit.
Even the strongest patriarch, Li Yun, saw his grave expression ease slightly. However, he did not completely relax; his gaze swept toward Holy Lord Li Wuya with extreme severity and a hint of accountability.
If not for this man's flawed decision-making, provoking such an unfathomable existence, how could the Glazed Holy Land have been forced into such a desperate corner, requiring the spirit of the Imperial Weapon to awaken independently to protect them? This debt would be settled later.
The most urgent matter at hand was to rely on the power of the Imperial Weapon's spirit to survive this tribulation.
However, the scene that unfolded in the very next moment instantly cast a heavy shadow over their newly risen hopes!
High in the sky, facing the majestic questioning of the Imperial Weapon's spirit, Little Black's profound pupils held nothing but endless coldness and disdain.
That raised giant claw not only did not retract, but continued to press down with an even more overbearing and unstoppable posture!
"Stubborn fool!"
The spirit of the Imperial Weapon seemed enraged by Little Black's disregard. Its blurry figure radiated boundless light, and the entire Glazed World-Purifying Lamp vibrated violently. The mouth of the lamp tilted, pouring out the Glazed Divine Fire meant to purify everything in the world!
Billions of divine chains of laws, like phoenix feathers, carrying the supreme imperial might to incinerate the heavens and purify all things, swept toward Little Black's giant claw!
This was the true divine might of the Imperial Weapon, personally unleashed by the spirit within the weapon. It was far beyond what Patriarch Li Yun and the others could compare to when they activated it earlier.
Wherever the light passed, the void did not merely shatter, but directly turned into chaos, re-enacting earth, water, fire, and wind, as if to split heaven and earth apart, or perhaps to bring an end to all things!
"Rumble—!!!"
The giant claw fiercely collided with the Glazed Divine Fire and the divine chains of laws!
Devastating energy frantically spread outward with the point of collision at its center. Wherever it passed, large swathes of space collapsed, and the laws wailed as they snapped.
The distant spectators turned pale with horror and frantically retreated. Some cultivators who were too slow, even though they were tens of thousands of miles away, had their vitality shaken and their Dao foundations destabilized by just a trace of the escaping fluctuations, their faces filled with terror.
Meanwhile, the Glazed Holy Land, situated at the edge of the storm, although protected by the light of the Imperial Array, left everyone feeling like a lone boat in a raging tempest, as if they would be completely torn to shreds in the next second by the unimaginable aftermath of the collision!
That invisible oppressive force caused many disciples to simply collapse to the ground, finding it incredibly difficult to even breathe.
Just as this destructive energy was about to spiral out of control and spread, threatening to cause an even greater catastrophe, in the depths of the void, Jimie's eyes twitched slightly as he frowned almost imperceptibly.
An invisible, faint ripple quietly brushed past.
The terrifying shockwaves of energy that were originally about to wreak havoc were gently wiped away as if by an invisible giant hand. Their destructive power was confined to an extremely limited area around the Glazed Holy Land, failing to spread any further.
This change was incredibly subtle. All the mighty experts present, including the divine senses of the giants prying across the void, were firmly captivated by the world-shocking confrontation between the Emperor Weapon and the fierce avian at the core, and not a single person noticed the anomaly of the energy ripples being quietly restricted.
Only Ling Xi seemed to sense something. Her clear eyes carried a hint of doubt as she looked twice into the depths of the void, but she found nothing.
At the core of the collision, the blinding light slightly restrained, revealing the scene inside. Little Black's giant claw remained as steady as a mountain, slowly pressing down.
As for the Glazed Divine Fire and the divine chains of law urged by the spirit of the Emperor Weapon, although they did not immediately shatter, they were visibly dimmed and were forced to continuously retreat and shrink under the immense pressure.
The blurred figure of the Emperor Weapon's spirit swayed even more violently, clearly falling into a disadvantage in this head-on clash!
"It blocked it! But the spirit of the Emperor Weapon seems to be at a disadvantage!"
A sharp-eyed old antique cried out in alarm.
"The power of this fierce avian can actually suppress an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon?!"
The divine senses of the giants from various domains once again erupted with tsunami-like fluctuations, filled with unbelievable shock.
Within the Glazed Holy Land, the wild joy on Li Wuya's face had long since frozen, turning into a profound dread.
Patriarch Li Yun's face was ashen, and the ominous premonition in his heart reached its absolute peak.
With the spirit of the Emperor Weapon personally presiding over the attack, it could only barely parry and was still at a disadvantage?
Just what kind of existence was this fierce avian?!
Seeing that its full-strength strike was actually suppressed, a solemn expression appeared on the blurred face of the Emperor Weapon's spirit.
It let out a long and ancient hum, resonating on a deeper level with the Emperor Array beneath its feet that covered the entire Glazed Holy Land.
Instantly, the light of the Emperor Array soared into the sky. Receiving the full support of the entire formation, the light of the Glazed World-Purifying Lamp flourished once more. Countless ancient and mysterious runes surfaced on the body of the lamp, flowing with an even more terrifying Extreme Dao Emperor Might.
The originally somewhat dim Glazed Divine Fire instantly surged, its color transforming from a brilliant seven-color hue into a deeper, chaotic-colored flame that seemed capable of smelting the very origin of heaven and earth!
The divine chains of law also became thicker, like dragons of order, wrapping around the chaotic flames and once again meeting the slowly descending, dark giant claw.
The power of this confrontation far exceeded the previous one!
The sky of the entire Eastern Domain seemed to twist and fold at the boundary of these two forces, and the rules of the Great Dao wailed and retreated.
A faint trace of solemnity finally flashed across Little Black's perpetually cold pupils. This resistance, which gathered the eternal foundation of an immortal holy land and the full power of an Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, was indeed not to be underestimated.
However, this trace of solemnity was not fear, but rather respect for an opponent worthy of being taken slightly seriously.
"Screech—!"
A sharp cry that could pierce gold and crack stone, seemingly originating from the primordial antiquity, suddenly erupted from Little Black's beak!
This cry was no longer just a sound; it contained supreme Dao principles, instantly overpowering the roaring of the Emperor Weapon and the Dao sounds of myriad saints, sweeping across the eight desolate regions like an invisible storm!
Along with this piercing cry, the already dark and profound light surrounding Little Black suddenly retracted, only to erupt once more in an even more violent and domineering manner!
Its massive frame seemed to expand within the radiance. The scales covering its giant claws shimmered with a dark luster, exuding a terrifying aura capable of reducing all creation to ruin and freezing space and time itself!
What?!
Every powerhouse who sensed this scene felt their minds tremble violently!
To think that the terrifying power from just a moment ago... was actually not the full strength of this ferocious bird?!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
