Gu Changge turned around, his calm gaze sweeping over the five Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons suspended in the air. Their divine light had dimmed due to the fall of their masters: the Heaven Desolate Halberd, the Asura Blood Sword, the Heaven Swallowing Halberd, the Absolute Beginning Stone Mirror, and the Nine Nether Soul Summoning Banner.

These extreme weapons, which had once accompanied supreme beings in battles across the eons, drank the blood of emperors, and stirred the winds and clouds of the universe, now exuded a mournful aura of reaching a dead end.

Gu Changge's eyes did not show the slightest ripple of emotion, as if he were merely looking at a few pieces of unsightly clutter.

He casually raised his hand and gently waved his sleeve at the five Emperor Weapons.

There were no earth-shattering explosions, nor were there any anomalies of shattering laws.

Just like wiping chalk dust from a blackboard, those five Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons—items that could drive any Quasi-Emperor mad and force even a Great Emperor to treat them with solemn respect—

—silently dissolved into the most primordial streams of particles under Gu Changge's effortless sweep, completely annihilating as if they had never existed in this world.

"Uh..."

Beside him, Little Black let out a suppressed gulp. His eyes were wide and round, staring fixedly at the spot where the Emperor Weapons had vanished, his face written all over with heartache.

Those were Extreme Dao materials! Even if they didn't use them, melting them down for reforging or using them to comprehend the Emperor Dao laws within would make them priceless treasures! And just like that... they were gone?

Little White Dragon's dragon whiskers also trembled slightly, a flash of pity crossing its massive dragon eyes. Although it preferred weapons it forged itself, the materials of those Emperor Weapons were undeniably top-tier goods.

Taking in the reactions of the two little guys, the corners of Gu Changge's mouth curved up imperceptibly. He said lightly, "Look at how little ambition you two have."

Little Black and Little White suddenly looked a bit sheepish.

Gu Changge shook his head, his tone carrying a trace of admonishment as well as an imperceptible hint of care. "Other people's Dao weapons ultimately contain other people's Dao and laws. No matter how powerful they are, they will struggle to perfectly harmonize with your own Grand Dao. Relying on external objects is a lesser path in the end."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and two clusters of divine objects appeared out of thin air in his palm.

One cluster displayed a profound dark gold color, with countless stars seemingly being born and dying within it. It exuded a heavy, eternal, and indestructible aura that was immune to all laws—Eternal Immortal Gold!

The other cluster flowed with vibrant colors, seemingly containing all the primordial auras from before the heavens and earth were opened. It constantly shifted between the ethereal and the corporeal, unfathomably profound—Chaos Primal Stone!

As soon as these two divine objects appeared, the chaotic void currents around them that had not yet fully subsided instantly calmed down!

Their grade far surpassed the materials of the five Emperor Weapons from earlier!

"This... this is?!"

Little Black's eyes instantly went straight, and his breathing grew rapid. From that cluster of dark gold immortal gold, he felt an eternal and indestructible Dao rhythm that perfectly matched his own Golden-Winged Great Peng bloodline!

Little White Dragon's dragon pupils also erupted with brilliant light, staring intently at the Chaos Primal Stone.

"Eternal Immortal Gold and Chaos Primal Stone," Gu Changge said calmly. "Take them. Based on your own Dao and laws, personally forge your own innate Emperor Weapons."

He tossed them casually, and the two clusters of priceless immortal materials flew toward Little Black and Little White respectively.

In Gu Changge's system space, there were no less than a hundred Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons alone. Furthermore, various top-grade Emperor-level materials—like Star Divine Iron, Phoenix Crimson Gold, and the Mother Qi of All Things that could bear the weight of laws—shimmered with soul-trembling divine light, too numerous to count.

The sheer quantity was enough to drive any Great Emperor insane.

"Only Emperor Weapons forged by your own hands, infused with your own Grand Dao and lifeblood, will be the most suitable for you. Only they can be partners that grow alongside you and ultimately accompany you to the absolute pinnacle."

Little Black and Little White hurriedly and carefully caught the flying immortal materials. Feeling the vast, ocean-like primordial auras within that perfectly harmonized with themselves, their bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing these treasures!"

The two spoke in unison, their voices filled with irrepressible excitement and gratitude.

Looking at the immortal materials in their hands, there was no longer the slightest bit of regret for the five destroyed Emperor Weapons in their eyes, only endless fiery passion and impatience!

With such supreme immortal materials, they would certainly be able to forge innate Emperor Weapons that belonged entirely to them and perfectly matched their Grand Dao. The power would absolutely far exceed the weapons of those ancient supreme beings!

Gu Changge slowly raised his head. His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, looking toward the boundless void beyond. There, obscure and massive formation veins were slowly operating, extracting the lifeforce of the Xuanhuang Great World.

"Alright, let's first go and deal with the formation nodes set up by those parasites."

"Yes!" Little Black and Little White solemnly and carefully put away the immortal materials, responding with vigorous spirits.

Gu Changge took a step forward, and he had already taken the two of them away from this deathly still forbidden zone, shuttling toward the nearest formation node in their memories.

Little Black and Little White only felt their vision blur. They were no longer in the deathly still forbidden zone, but had appeared in a decayed and desolate star field.

Before them was an incomparably massive ancient star.

On the surface of the star, the outlines of ruined walls could faintly be seen. Once-magnificent architectural complexes had now been reduced to ruins, deeply buried by the dust of time.

Several dried riverbeds lay like giant scars, winding and sprawling across the grayish-yellow earth, silently telling the story of its past vitality.

The spiritual energy of the entire star was thin to the extreme, like an old man entering his twilight years, his oil exhausted and his lamp dying.

Little Black swept his divine sense slightly and his heart skipped a beat. The remaining living beings on this star were extremely sparse, and the highest cultivation among them was actually below the Cave Heaven Realm.

Clearly, this world had long since reached its end. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it completely degenerated into a land of dead silence, with all traces forever buried by cosmic dust.

"Do you sense it?" Gu Changge looked calmly toward the depths of the ancient star.

Little Black and Little White focused their senses, and their expressions instantly sank.

Deep within the core earth veins of that ancient star, they detected an obscure and evil devouring power slowly operating. Like maggots attached to bone, it continuously extracted the ancient star's final primordial essence.

But what shocked them even more was that the tentacles of this formation went far beyond this—using the ancient star as a core node, it had silently spread across the entire star field!

Countless gossamer-thin energy veins extended like a spiderweb into the void in all directions, greedily absorbing the residual lifeforce of nearby stars. It didn't even spare the asteroid belts floating in the starry sky!

The reason this starry sky was so deathly still was precisely because the primordial power of all the stars was being continuously siphoned away by this hidden formation!

"What vicious methods!" Little White Dragon's voice was ice-cold.

"Hiding the formation deep within the ancient star to devour the primordial essence of the entire star field. If we hadn't come here in person, it would have been impossible to detect!"

Gu Changge nodded slightly. Many more similar nodes were scattered throughout the entire Xuanhuang Great World.

He formed his fingers into a sword and made an empty slash toward the ancient star.

"Swish—"

An invisible sword qi crossed the starry sky, accurately slashing into the core of the formation.

The devouring veins that covered the entire star field snapped in response. The forcefully extracted primordial power instantly lost its direction and slowly dispersed throughout the starry space.

With the shattering of the formation, although this deathly silent star domain could not immediately regain its vitality, the suffocating tide of decay had finally come to a halt.

It was as if a dying patient had finally been freed from the most lethal, poisonous tube embedded in their body.
