As soon as these words were spoken, the voice condensed into a beam of light that shot into the depths of the starry sky. The voice of the Multiverse Emperor echoed across countless star fields.

The power within his voice was so overwhelming that entire star fields churned and boiled.

Countless powerful beings across the star fields were stunned. Their gazes turned toward the source of the voice, their eyes filled with shock and fear. What kind of divine power was this? It was terrifying beyond imagination.

A single roar shook the myriad worlds, making every expert across the myriad worlds feel fear.

Upon hearing the words of the Multiverse Emperor, Ye Guan was greatly surprised. He hadn't expected the Multiverse Emperor to make such a move, and it truly caught him off guard.

Not far away, the Otherworld Ruler looked at the Multiverse Emperor with a wary gaze. He realized that the Multiverse Emperor was far stronger than he had imagined.

Meanwhile, Fan Zhaodi's lips curled into a slight smile, which gradually grew wider.

As soon as the Multiverse Emperor's words fell, spacetime cracked open above him, and a sword fell straight down.

Upon seeing the sword descending, the Multiverse Emperor showed no hint of fear in his eyes. On the contrary, he burst into laughter. "Very well, very well! Let me show you what a real powerhouse looks like."

He raised his hands, and temporal energy surged, sending out a wave of residual force that crushed Meng Wu and the experts, forcing them to lie prone on the ground.

They couldn't move, and they were terrified.

Ye Guan's expression turned grim. The Multiverse Emperor's strength was truly overwhelming. Just the pressure from his aura alone was enough to crush almost everyone present.

Si Wen was also lying on the ground, trembling, as his eyes were filled with awe.

The experts were utterly terrified. They felt like ants gazing at a great dragon; they were overwhelmed with a sense of insignificance and despair.

Soon, the billions of streams of temporal energy reached the sword, and instantly—

Whoosh!

The streams of temporal energy melted away and were erased. The sword fell straight down, piercing directly into the top of the Multiverse Emperor's head.

Boom!

The Multiverse Emperor's eyes widened, his body frozen in place, a look of disbelief plastered on his face.

Everyone present also froze as they stared at the Multiverse Emperor with a sword lodged in his head.

It's over? Just like that? The sound of thunder is deafening, but the rain that follows after is kind of… like a drizzle?

Si Wen stared at the Multiverse Emperor, his eyes wide as saucers.

Killed in an instant?

The whole place fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone turned to look at Ye Guan. They hadn't noticed before, but now, standing next to Ye Guan was a lady dressed in a plain skirt with exceptional beauty and elegance that seemed to be out of this world. 𝐫𝓪Νo͍ꞖƐṨ

Fan Zhaodi looked at Plain-Skirt Destiny, and her smile gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression.

Ye Guan looked at her and smiled, greeting, "Aunt."

Plain-Skirt Destiny was about to reply when suddenly, the Multiverse Emperor burst into laughter.

Plain-Skirt Destiny turned to look at him. The Multiverse Emperor looked back at her, maintaining his calm and composed demeanor. Gradually, an amused smile returned to his face as he asked, "Do you think this is my true body?"

Everyone was stunned that this was not his true body. It was another avatar!

Ye Guan was also taken aback.

How many avatars does this guy have?

The Multiverse Emperor fixed his gaze on Plain-Skirt Destiny. Though there was still a sword lodged in his head, there was still a confident smile on his face. "I, the Multiverse Emperor, have cultivated thousands of avatars. Each avatar has a different identity. No one in this world can truly kill me; not even terrifying beings beyond the Dao God Realm can eliminate me… Haha…"

Everyone was utterly shocked.

Thousands of avatars, and each one had a unique identity? Outrageous!

Plain-Skirt Destiny pointed a finger forward and gently pressed it downwards.

Boom!

Not far away, the Multiverse Emperor's eyes suddenly widened in shock. He cried out in disbelief, "Impossible!"

At that instant, across countless worlds, every one of his avatars began to burn, disintegrating into nothingness, wiped out completely.

Meanwhile, in the distant depths of the starry sky, amidst the cosmic expanse, there was a vast stone staircase, each step wide enough to span hundreds of meters. The staircase stretched upward for ninety thousand meters, and a grand hall stood tall at its summit.

The Genesis Daoist Temple…

Within the temple was a massive statue, and it depicted a man clad in a pristine white robe, his eyes sharp as swords, exuding an extraordinary presence.

Outside the hall, on the vast stone staircase, numerous individuals were ascending slowly. With every ten steps they climbed, they would pause and kowtow deeply in reverence.

At the entrance of the Genesis Daoist Temple stood two guards, both dressed in simple armor.

If Ye Guan were there, he would be shocked, as the guard on the right was none other than the Multiverse Emperor! He stood upright; his gaze was fixed straight ahead, and he was radiating a commanding aura.

Just then, flames consumed him—inexplicably and abruptly!

The Multiverse Emperor's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression filled with shock and terror. He cried out, "Who is attacking my true body through my avatars?!"

The guard beside him looked on with utter confusion.

What the hell is going on?

Sensing a power far beyond his ability to resist, the Multiverse Emperor spun on his heel and bolted toward the doors. However, as soon as he took a single step, his figure became illusory.

Horrified, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he let out a hysterical roar, "No!"

He vanished before his voice could finish echoing through the air.

Erased from existence.

The guard beside him stood there, utterly dumbfounded by the sight.

"What in the world just happened?" he muttered.

Once the shock wore off, his expression twisted in rage. He turned toward the depths of the starry sky, shouting, "Who dares lay a hand on the guards of the Genesis Daoist Temple? Do you have a death w—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a flash of sword light appeared directly between his eyebrows. His expression changed drastically.

Realizing that the one behind this was far more powerful than he was capable of resisting, he slapped himself hard across the face and quickly pleaded, "I was disrespectful! I humbly beg for your mercy and my life…"

The sword light vanished moments later.

The guard collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, his entire body trembling. His eyes were filled with terror.

Who in the world could this be, capable of infiltrating the Genesis World without a sound or trace? Could such a powerful person really exist in this outer universe?

***

The Multiverse Emperor seemed to have sensed something and was overcome with shock and terror. His face turned ashen as he stammered, "H-how is this possible? How are you able to kill my true body? My true form resides in Genesis World! How could you…"

Fear gripped his heart. His true body had been killed.

The reason he dared to act recklessly outside was that his true body was safe in the Genesis World.

That world was a unique world created by the Genesis God himself, a place surrounded by an ancient saying, "Those who enter my divine world must bow every ten steps. Plant a god in your heart, and you'll be invincible in the world."

The Genesis God!

Anyone who entered the Genesis World and bowed every ten steps to the Genesis Daoist Temple would emerge as a peerless expert once they left. The Multiverse Emperor's own powers, including the ability to materialize laws, were all acquired from the Genesis Daoist Temple.

Anyone who followed these steps was able to leave the Genesis World as a peerless force, but they also planted a god in their heart—the Genesis God.

To the Multiverse Emperor, the Genesis World was the safest place in the vast expanse. No one dared to cause any trouble there.

Thus, he had deliberately left his true body in that world, willingly serving as a guard of the Genesis Daoist Temple while his avatars roamed freely in the outside world.

As long as his true body remained intact, his avatars could die a million times, but he could simply create countless more.

However, he never expected that this lady's sword would reach the Genesis Daoist Temple. To make matters worse, it pierced through the defenses of the Genesis World and erased all his avatars in an instant!

The confidence and composure on the Multiverse Emperor's face vanished entirely, replaced by disbelief and horror. He finally realized what kind of horrifying existence he had provoked.

I mustn't die! If I die, what will happen to Little Ling? I must live on!

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He turned to look at Ye Guan in the distance. Under the stunned gazes of everyone, he fell to his knees with a resounding

thud

and stuttered, "Young Master Ye… I was foolish! Please spare my life."

Everyone was shocked.

What's happening? Did this guy just kneel?

Si Wen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the Multiverse Emperor in disbelief.

Even Ye Guan was completely baffled by what was going on.

This guy is kneeling? What is going on?

The Multiverse Emperor's sudden actions left the entire crowd in shock. He was a legendary figure, and here he was, groveling on the ground, abandoning his dignity to beg for mercy. Many could not help but look down on him, finding his actions to be extremely embarrassing.

Ye Guan said nothing. Plain-Skirt Destiny also remained silent. To her, someone like the Multiverse Emperor was so insignificant that whether he lived or died made no difference to her.

It was akin to encountering an ant on the road. You would not go out of your way to step on it.

She decided to let Ye Guan make the call. After all, she needed this little one to help her with something soon, so giving him a bit of autonomy now was not a bad idea.

Ye Guan looked down at the Multiverse Emperor and said, "Give me one good reason to let you live."

The Multiverse Emperor immediately kowtowed forcefully, his head hitting the ground with another loud thud. He said fervently, "If Young Master Ye doesn't despise me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my godfather!"

Everyone was speechless, including Ye Guan. Their jaws dropped to the ground in shock.

What kind of move is this? Godfather?

Si Wen pointed an angry finger at the Multiverse Emperor and sneered, "Multiverse Emperor, with your status, how can you be so spineless? Isn't it just death? A true man should fear nothing. You… you have utterly disappointed me."

Plain-Skirt Destiny turned her gaze to Si Wen and said, "Did I allow you to speak?"

Before Si Wen could react, a sword had already plunged through his head from above, pinning him to the ground.

Boom!

Si Wen was instantly suppressed, without even a chance to fight back. His expression froze. Realizing that he was about to be erased from existence, he finally felt the terror of death. His survival instinct flared, and he desperately cried out, "I am from the Temporal Dao Hall!"

"The Temporal Dao Hall?" Plain-Skirt Destiny asked. "Point me in its direction."

Si Wen, confused but overwhelmed by fear, instinctively pointed to his right.

Buzz!

The sword embedded in Si Wen's body shot out and disappeared into the void.

In a distant star field, a sword suddenly descended like a lightning bolt toward the Temporal Dao Hall.

Countless experts inside were alarmed and furious.

"Impudent!"

A terrifying aura surged skyward, and immediately afterward, a middle-aged man in ornate robes appeared in the starry sky. He was Fang Yan, the Hall Master of the Temporal Dao Hall's Martial Department.

He raised his head, glaring at the descending sword with ferocity in his eyes.

"Who dares to go against the Temporal Dao Hall?!" he yelled and stomped forward with his right foot, transforming into a torrent of temporal energy that shot upward to intercept the sword.

A head-on confrontation!

When he was thirty meters away from the sword, he sensed something, eliciting a change in his expression. He tried to retreat, but it was already too late.

Whoosh!

The sword plunged straight down, piercing the top of his head before continuing its descent.

Boom!

The Temporal Dao Hall was obliterated, leaving nothing behind.

The Temporal Dao Hall was no more.

***

Si Wen seemed to have sensed something, and he turned to look at Plain-Skirt Destiny. He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind went completely blank.

Although his strength was not on par with that of the Multiverse Emperor, he was still a notable figure here. He had a deep connection to his homeland, and just now, he clearly felt it. The entire Temporal Dao Hall had been erased.

Gone.

Terror consumed Si Wen. With just a single sword, the Temporal Dao Hall was annihilated just like that.

The distant starry sky suddenly began to churn violently. In the next instant, countless waves of temporal energy surged toward them.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a middle-aged man clad in a white robe amidst the starry skies.

"Hall Master!" Si Wen shouted as his face lit up with excitement. "Hall Master!"

The middle-aged man was Chen Zong, the Hall Master of the Temporal Dao Hall.

Chen Zong's gaze locked onto Plain-Skirt Destiny, and the aura emanating from his body rippled out like a tidal wave. His voice boomed as he asked, "You destroyed my Temporal Dao Hall?!"

Plain-Skirt Destiny glanced at him and uttered a single word, "Kneel."

Boom!

In an instant, everyone present dropped to their knees, including Ye Guan and Fan Zhaodi. Across countless universe regions, a myriad beings felt an incomprehensible force forcing them to kneel.

Plain-Skirt Destiny's voice reverberated throughout a myriad worlds, and everyone who heard it fell to their knees.
