That was a majestic and imposing phantom, standing between heaven and earth, with a golden halo swirling above its head like a solar ring, and a golden ancient tree rising behind it, blocking out the sun.

"Candle Dragon!"

Taihua said indifferently, "As expected, your consciousness is not here!"

The diving and falling Ancient Dragon seemed oblivious, merely tearing through time and space with force, crashing down.

The aura of destruction surged like a sea tide.

Taihua raised her hands, trying to block the falling world-destroying Ancient Dragon.

This was her duty as the President.

Because the Candle Dragon Venerable was too powerful, they needed three Catastrophes to contain it at Buzhou Mountain.

And as the last Guardian here, she defended all humans in the Ancient God Realm.

Otherwise, once the Candle Dragon descended, all living beings would be slaughtered!

As destruction descended, the world seemed to fall into absolute silence, like a myth recorded only in murals, where the world-destroying Ancient Dragon fell, and a golden giant emerged, wielding a sword to meet the battle!

Taihua extended her right hand, and a golden sword light that pierced through heaven and earth formed in her palm, slashing down!

The Dragon Roar that transcended the river of time was so violent, as the Candle Dragon fell, it appeared like a blood light tearing through time and space, suddenly splitting the world in two, facing the brilliant golden sword light!

And in that instant, something in the void seemed to crack open.

Vermilion Divine Fire erupted suddenly!

Boom!

In that instant, the falling Candle Dragon seemed to sense something, its Dragon Roar furious and violent!

Taihua looked at the figure that emerged from the flames, murmuring, "You are..."

The Kui Bird Ancestor came with the tide of destruction, a cruel and savage spiritual thought echoing between heaven and earth: "Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, foolish mortal, you have no idea what a great existence you are opposing. Ultimately, you will die miserably like Gu Ci'an and Tang Zijing, and those pathetic, ignorant ants."

No one responded to the Divine's mockery.

Accompanied by the trembling of the Qilin Wedge, Gu Jianlin faced the ferocious Divine silently, slashing down with his sword.

This battle was one he had longed for, perhaps at the cost of his life, perhaps at some other painful price, but he did not want to retreat, unwilling to be that coward who only backed down. Since that rainy night on Haiqing Highway, he had made a vow in his heart.

If destiny ever brings his nemesis before him, he will surely draw his sword against them.

Neither cowardice nor retreat.

This was his ultimate purpose in coming here.

The Vermilion Bird Clan was the murderer who killed his father.

The culprit of the tragedy of his life.

Whether it was the Ghost Car, the Kui Bird Ancestor, or any other Divine.

It did not matter.

No matter who, he would cut them down with his sword.

Unleash the anger in his heart.

If he couldn't break it with one slash, he'd slash twice; if not twice, then thrice.

Hundreds, thousands, millions of times.

Until death does he part.

And he had a premonition he wouldn't die here.

Because this was his world.

He was... the Qilin Venerable!

The Qilin Wedge trembled, and the power hidden within the Golden Tree Root was awakened. Behind him, an endless gray mist seemed to spread, with a dark, sinister phantom shrouding him.

It was the Black Supreme, the power once left here, now awakened!

If this was the First Generation Qilin Venerable's arrangement, no matter what purpose he ultimately intended, he would express gratitude, thanking him for giving him the strength to reach this point.

Almost in an instant, the Dragon Roar penetrating deep into the soul resounded, as someone ascended the Stairway to Immortality at a speed surpassing time, the intense Lan She fragrance wafting in along with the swaying red skirt.

In her hand was a broken blade, the sound of its trembling was familiar.

Boom!

The roots of the Golden Tree lit up with scorching patterns, the Ancient God's Breath, intense as sunlight, was released, a supreme power that merged deep into their consciousness, permeating the soul.

Knowledge from Ancient Times echoed in their minds, finally coalescing into a solar rune deep in memory!

"Weak little one, surrender control of your body to me."

The ethereal, delicate voice echoed in his ear.

Gu Jianlin's breathing changed rhythm unconsciously, as if in the Heavenly Person Realm!

That person's breathing also changed rhythm, similarly in the Heavenly Person Realm!

The ancient, deep voice echoed in the tide of destruction.

It was... Ancient Divine Language!

In a mysterious way, Gu Jianlin seemed to be enlightened, unexpectedly uttering an archaic and bizarre syllable in the state of the Heavenly Person Realm, it was the ultimate judgment from the Black Supreme!

The woman with jet-black hair blowing in the wind also gently uttered a syllable, like a billion souls singing softly at the edge of time, an ethereal and distant song echoing between heaven and earth.

Ancient Divine Language!

The two distinct Ancient Divine Languages overlapped, forming the ultimate rule of this world!

The broken blade and the broken sword slashed down together, the brilliant gold flashed by in an instant!

Boom!

The surge of ice and fire annihilated, the projection the Kui Bird Ancestor had condensed annihilated like a candle in the wind, its last Spiritual Body let out a furious, despairing roar, dragging its soon-to-be-burned body to fall!

"You have actually reached this point..."

Accompanied by the eruption of the volcano, the Kui Bird Ancestor's flesh and soul neared the brink of collapse!

Boom!

The broken blade and the broken sword vibrated, the black Qilin and the blood-colored Ancient Dragon flashed by, like two intersecting lightning bolts, piercing through its phantom, unexpectedly seizing its soul power in unison!

The towering volcano exploded with a violent roar, scorching blood mist rising, flesh and blood flying.

The Kui Bird Ancestor's soul suddenly vanished into ashes.

A bloody rain began to fall on the world, the rich stench of blood spreading.

With just one strike, Gu Jianlin felt his spirit and strength burning out, like a piece of withered wood charred into charcoal, losing consciousness in an instant, falling towards the abyss.

As the flash of blood gleamed and vanished, the Skylark flashed behind him, a cruel glint emerging in the enchanting and bewitching eyes, as the void behind him exploded, a blood-colored Ancient Dragon roared, as if it was about to completely devour him!

Thud, thud!

At the critical moment, this extraordinarily beautiful woman suddenly had a daze.

Boom!

The golden phantom standing high on the Sky Dome collapsed with a roar, the golden sword light exploded between heaven and earth, the clouds seemed to stir up a magnificent golden tide, poised to engulf the entire world.

The blood-colored Ancient Dragon roared loudly, like a non-existent phantom, swaying as it threatened to vanish!

With a boom, the void's gate opened once more, two peerless sword lights intersecting in approach.

Finally, the azure Qilin roared, falling like a meteor, forcibly shattering the dragon's phantom!

As the descending blood-colored Ancient Dragon was annihilated, the Skylark seemed affected by something, momentarily pausing the action of devouring the young man, her eyes turning hollow and vacant.

With a boom, Gu Jianlin and the Skylark collided together.

However, where the soul of the Kui Bird Ancestor vanished, in the remaining ashes suddenly ignited Vermillion Divine Fire, someone walked out of the flames, the godly might of the Ancient Times surging out!

"You..."

The Skylark barely regained her composure, the enchanting eyes reflecting that bizarre figure.

The Vermilion Divine Fire surged forth!

She suddenly snapped her fingers, summoning a terrifying dimension turbulence, sweeping like a storm.

In an instant, she was swept away by the dimension turbulence, disappearing without a trace.

Gu Jianlin was also engulfed by it along with her, unknown where they were transmitted to.

——According to the Ancient God Chronicles, in the early 21st century, the Qilin Venerable and the Candle Dragon Venerable used part of the Candle Light Divine Tree as a foundation to build the Stairway to Immortality, attempting to break through the rules of the Human World, but were ultimately thwarted by the combined forces of the Order World.

The Kui Bird Ancestor was slain, marking the fall of an Ancient Ancestor, and the door to the second layer of the Qilin Immortal Palace opened.

Thus, history turned a new page.
