If earlier, the physical combat where he was at a disadvantage could be attributed to the opponent's strange Physique.

Then now, even after he wielded his Natal Imperial Weapon and unleashed his strongest Move, "Blazing Sun Collapse", he still couldn't gain any advantage, and even the Imperial Weapon itself felt a suppressed tremor. This shook his invincible belief as the Dominator of the Yang Realm!

"What is the Origin of your axe?" The Yang Realm King's voice was cold. He could feel that the Chaos Great Axe in Li Mu's hand seemed to be the Origin of all Dao, naturally restraining his Yang Law. It wasn't a suppression of Rank, but a crushing of status, like river water, which will eventually flow into the sea!

"My Dao is its Origin," Li Mu replied calmly. The Chaos Great Axe let out a soft hum, as if craving the opponent's blood.

"A good 'my Dao'!" The Yang Realm King laughed in extreme anger. Golden Divine Flames shot up from his body, illuminating the surrounding Void Realm, "This King wants to see how many judgment Moves your Dao can withstand!"

Before he finished speaking, the Yang Realm King moved!

This time, the Yang Realm King didn't simply thrust; his spear moved like a Dragon, manifesting a supreme Divine Domain!

"Divine Ability — Golden Crow Burning World!"

With a roar, the long spear in the Yang Realm King's hand suddenly transformed into a golden blazing sun, hundreds of millions of feet in size. Within the blazing sun, the phantom of a three-legged Golden Crow let out a heaven-shattering roar!

Chirp—!

The roar seemed to come from the primeval era, carrying the supreme Divine Might to incinerate all directions. As the Golden Crow spread its wings, endless True Sun Fire transformed into a golden sea of fire, overwhelming and sweeping towards Li Mu!

This wasn't ordinary flame, but the materialization of the Yang Law. Every single spark was enough to melt a star, enough to burn an undying True Immortal to ashes!

Wherever the sea of fire passed, the Star Domain was "ignited", Laws wailed, and the entire world seemed to turn to scorched earth in this apocalyptic scene!

Facing this heaven-burning, sea-boiling strike, Li Mu's expression remained unchanged. He simply, slowly, raised the Chaos Great Axe in his hand.

There was no earth-shattering Aura, nor any complicated Moves.

He simply, gently, brought the axe down towards the surging golden sea of fire.

This axe strike seemed slow, yet it felt as if it cut through the nodes of time, transcending the distance of space.

As the axe fell, a gray axe mark appeared in the very center of the golden sea of fire.

The axe mark wasn't large, not bright, even a little dim. However, the moment it appeared, the entire violent sea of fire instantly solidified, as if a basin of icy water from the Nine Nethers had been poured upon it.

Immediately following, centered on that gray axe mark, all the golden True Sun Fire began to visibly lose its light and heat, its color rapidly fading from brilliant gold to deathly gray, and finally, all of it turned into nothingness, dissipating into the Star Domain.

One axe, annihilated the Golden Crow, extinguished the World-Burning Fire!

This was a clash of Dao, and even more, a collision of Origin!

Li Mu's Dao of Chaos is the end of all things, the return to nothingness. No matter how world-shaking your Divine Ability, or how boundless your Divine Power, under his axe, all must return to the most primal Chaos state.

"How is this possible!" The Yang Realm King's pupils contracted sharply. His proud ultimate technique was actually broken so effortlessly! The feeling was as if he had thrown a punch with all his might, but it landed on endless cotton, all his power being absorbed, dissolved, and vanishing without a trace.

"Your Dao is too rigid and lacks change," Li Mu stood with his axe, calmly pointing out his opponent's flaw, "Light, though it can illuminate darkness, cannot fill the Void Realm."

"Nonsense!" The Yang Realm King roared, his imperial dignity not allowing provocation. His spear thrust faster, his figure drawing hundreds of millions of afterimages in the star sea, each afterimage piercing with a spear!

"Divine Ability — Judgment Divine Flame!"

In an instant, an unimaginably magnificent golden Divine Court appeared around Li Mu. Upon the Divine Court, countless phantoms of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, clad in golden armor and wielding Divine Weapons, emerged. Their gazes were cold as they all raised their weapons, aiming at Li Mu in the center.

The Yang Realm King's figure appeared on the imperial throne at the highest point of the Divine Court, his face expressionless, raising his long spear, like a supreme Dominator acting on behalf of heaven, uttering cold words of judgment:

"In the name of the Lord of the Yang Realm, I sentence you — body and Soul to destruction!"

Rumble!

As the Yang Realm King's voice fell, the entire Judgment Divine Court erupted. Hundreds of millions of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals attacked simultaneously, and countless rays of Judgment Light, condensed from pure Yang Law, formed a net that converged from all directions, without any blind spots, to slaughter Li Mu!

Each ray of light represented a "judgment" principle: some stripped away vitality, some severed Karma, some annihilated the Divine Soul… This was a certain death situation, the supreme killing Move the Yang Realm King used to suppress epochal calamities!

On the Lieyu Battleship, everyone felt a wave of despair. Under the pressure of that Judgment Divine Court, they couldn't even Move a finger, only watching helplessly as Li Mu was engulfed by the world-destroying net of light.

However, Li Mu, in the midst of this desperate situation, remained calm and closed his eyes.

The moment hundreds of millions of rays of Judgment Light were about to strike him, Li Mu opened his eyes.

Li Mu's eyes transformed into a deep Chaos, like the singularity before the Universe began. The Chaos Great Axe in his hand moved with him, slowly rotating in a circle, using his body as an axis.

The axe blade cut through the Void Realm, leaving behind a smooth, flawless gray ring.

This ring wasn't large, just enough to encompass him. It floated there quietly, without any astonishing Aura, like a circle drawn casually by a child.

However, this very circle seemed to be the most absolute "boundary" in the world.

Inside the circle was Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Domain.

Outside the circle was the Yang Realm King's Judgment Divine Court.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!

Hundreds of millions of rays of Judgment Light, one after another, bombarded the gray ring, yet they were like mud oxen entering the sea, failing to stir up even a ripple. All the power of judgment, all the Laws, the moment they touched the ring, were assimilated and decomposed by the Dao charm of Chaos, returning to their most primitive energy, dissipating into nothingness.

Invulnerable to all methods!

This was Li Mu's "Dao"! His Chaos transcended all principles, because all principles evolved from Chaos!

"This... what is this...?" On the imperial throne of the Divine Court, the Yang Realm King's composure and majesty finally vanished, replaced by an expression of incredible shock.

His Judgment Divine Court was the ultimate manifestation of his Dao, the embodiment of his authority as the Dominator of the Yang Realm, capable of suppressing any opponent of the same Rank. But now, this supreme killing Move couldn't even break through the opponent's defense!

"Your 'judgment' cannot judge me."

Li Mu's voice, piercing through the endless light, clearly reached the Yang Realm King's ears: "Because my Dao is not within your principles."

The moment his voice fell, Li Mu moved, man and ring together, transforming into a gray stream of light, actively crashing towards the magnificent Judgment Divine Court!

"Not good!" An alarm blared in the Yang Realm King's heart. He frantically urged his Divine Power, wanting to stabilize the Divine Court and suppress Li Mu.

However, it was all too late.

Boom—!!!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only an extremely muffled roar.

That gray ring, like an indestructible sharp blade, effortlessly cut into the resplendent Judgment Divine Court.

Immediately after, a scene that struck terror into the hearts of the million-strong Yang Realm army appeared.

The Judgment Divine Court, constructed by the Yang Law, proclaimed to be eternally indestructible, rapidly "faded" from the point where the ring cut into it! The brilliant gold, like a painting polluted by ink, was quickly invaded and covered by gray.

The phantoms of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals on the Divine Court, the moment they were touched by the gray, let out silent wails, their bodies turning into specks of light and dissipating completely. The magnificent palaces and pavilions also collapsed piece by piece like sandcastles, turning into the dust of the Universe.

In just a few breaths!

The Judgment Divine Court, which had commanded respect for eons and suppressed epochs, crumbled and vanished before Li Mu's Chaotic Dao Domain!

Pfft—!

With the Divine Court broken, the Yang Realm King suffered a heavy blow, violently spitting out a large mouthful of golden Divine Blood, his Aura instantly wilting. The imperial throne beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, and he fell from the sky in a disheveled state, the Great Sun Judgment Spear in his hand letting out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

Li Mu's figure stepped out from the ruins of the shattered Divine Court, completely unharmed. The Chaos Great Axe in his hand pointed diagonally at the ground, its tip unstained by even a trace of golden light.

He looked at the pale-faced Yang Realm King in the distance, his eyes still calm, but beneath that calmness was a power that made his opponent feel despair.

"Whatever other tricks you have, bring them out at once."

These words were like a resounding slap, harshly hitting the Yang Realm King's face.

"Ah ah ah ah—!"

The Yang Realm King let out a roar filled with humiliation and madness, looking up at the sky.

Who was he?

He was the Lord of the Yang Realm! The only supreme god in this bright Universe! He had suppressed forbidden zones, quelled upheavals, and had never been defeated throughout the ages!

Today, he was actually forced into such a pathetic state by a "remnant" from the Yin Realm! His pride, his dignity, his invincible Dao Heart, at this moment, were trampled into dust!

"You forced me! You forced me!"

The Yang Realm King's eyes were bloodshot, looking like a madman. He stared fixedly at Li Mu, a look of determination and ferocity appearing on his handsome face.

"If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

"With my Divine Blood, I sacrifice my Divine Spear! With my Dao Origin, I ignite my realm's sun!"

"Forbidden Art — Myriad Realms Face the Sun, Divine Self Unifies!"

Rumble rumble rumble—!

As his frantic voice rang out, the entire Yang Realm Star Region, at this moment, trembled violently!

No, not just this Star Domain.

It was the entire Yang Realm, hundreds of millions of stars, at this moment, their light suddenly intensified by hundreds of millions of times! Endless power of the Sun Origin, transcending endless time and space, transformed into visible golden light pillars, piercing through the Void Realm, all converging towards the Yang Realm King!

The Yang Realm King's body, at this moment, seemed to transform into a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring the power from the entire Universe!

The Yang Realm King's Aura, at an incredible speed, surged wildly!

The originally withered Aura instantly returned to its Peak, and continued to climb, climb, and climb even higher!

Soon, the Yang Realm King's Aura surpassed the scope of a realm lord, reaching an unprecedented, indescribable, terrifying state!

The Yang Realm King and the long spear in his hand rapidly underwent Fusion. Golden flesh and blood intertwined with the spear's shaft, forming an indescribable giant made of light and Law!

This giant stood tall, as if to prop up the entire Universe. His eyes were two burning suns, and with each breath, star rivers were born and extinguished.

A pressure that transcended the cognitive limits of this Universe descended!

Under this pressure, the million-strong Yang Realm army all prostrated themselves, their Souls trembling. It was an absolute suppression originating from the level of life itself!

The Lieyu Battleship's Chaos barrier, under this pressure, couldn't even last for a single breath before it shattered with a crash! If Li Mu hadn't separated a wisp of Chaos Qi to protect the battleship, everyone on board would have been crushed to dust in an instant!

"Madman! He's actually burning the Origin of the entire Yang Realm!" Da Niu shouted in horror.

This was no longer a battle; this was a gamble on the future of the entire Universe! After this strike, regardless of victory or defeat, the Yang Realm would be severely weakened, and might even decline and perish as a result!

"Master..." Lin Xiaolun's eyes, for the first time, showed a hint of worry.

The current Yang Realm King could no longer be called the Yang Realm King. He was more like the Incarnation of the entire Yang Realm Universe's will, the ultimate weapon of destruction of this bright Universe!

The giant of light slowly raised his hand; that hand was his right arm, fused with the Divine Spear. He aimed his arm at Li Mu, and all the light, all the Laws, all the power, were converging towards his fingertip—which was once the spear tip!

The light gathered at that point had already surpassed the limits of what language could describe.

That was a strike capable of restarting the Universe, of returning everything to its Origin!

"Ant from the Yin Realm, to witness this King's supreme strike, and then turn to ashes, is your greatest honor in this life!"

The voice of the giant of light, like hundreds of millions of divine mountains collapsing simultaneously, echoed in the hearts of every living being.

Facing this ultimate strike, which gambled an entire Universe, Li Mu's face finally lost its calmness.

In the Yang Realm King's eyes, the two burning nebulae suddenly stopped rotating, replaced by an unprecedented brilliance!

"Hahahaha... Good! Good! Good!"

Suddenly, Li Mu looked up and laughed, his laughter filled with endless joy and heroic spirit.

"Now, this is more like it!"

"This, this is the battle I've been seeking!"

Li Mu had not felt this kind of pressure for too, too long! This pressure, enough to threaten his life, forcing him to pour out all his strength!

Li Mu's blood was boiling! His Dao was cheering!

"You take an axe from me too!"

Li Mu let out a long roar that shook the Universe, raising the Chaos Great Axe in his hand above his head.

As Li Mu moved, the gray Chaos Qi around him surged wildly into the axe body in a mysterious trajectory.

Li Mu's eyes glowed terrifyingly!

"This axe of mine is nameless. It is only for splitting the heavens!"

The moment his voice fell, the Chaos Great Axe chopped down!

There was no axe light, no axe Qi, not even any energy fluctuations.

The instant Li Mu unleashed this axe strike, the entire world seemed to disappear.

The Yang Realm King's world-destroying giant of light, his finger capable of restarting the Universe, the supreme Divine Might that burned the entire Yang Realm...

All of it, before this one axe, lost its meaning.

In everyone's perception, the world seemed to turn into a gray curtain, and Li Mu's axe gently sliced down from the top of the curtain. (End of Chapter)
