Chapter 679: You Actually Dared to Chase Me Here

The moment Red Sun True Monarch and True Monarch Tong Xuan stepped into the Aitira Realm without concealing the aura of their Golden Cores, a vast and mighty power from the world’s will clamped down on them like invisible shackles.

The Celestial Dao of this realm awoke with a deafening roar, its cold and vast will instantly locking onto the two uninvited, world-crossing guests.

‘We’re done for!’

True Monarch Tong Xuan cursed inwardly. He instantly understood that their perceptions had likely been temporarily skewed by Xu Yunfan’s Cause and Effect Secret Technique, causing them to forget to conceal their auras.

After all, the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm was extremely proficient at invading other Great Realms; every Sect had its own established system for doing so.

But this time, their judgment had been completely clouded.

It had to be the Cause and Effect Secret Technique Xu Yunfan secretly cast earlier. It had imperceptibly affected their cognition, making them forget such a crucial step.

VMMMM!

Space began to thrum. Three tangible gazes, each containing a different and mighty power, pierced through the void to focus on the two True Monarchs.

Directly ahead, the form of Orion, Lord of the Firmament, grew indistinct, seeming to merge with the entire sky. His aura was as boundless as the endless atmosphere, for he wielded the great power of the heavens and the air. The authority over the life and breath of all creation flowed around him, and with his every breath, illusory flora withered and flourished in an endless cycle.

To their left, the Main God of Light, Orion, radiated an immeasurable holy brilliance. His light was pure and domineering, dispelling all shadows like a great sun walking upon the earth. This was the Manifestation of his “Great Brightness Immeasurable” authority. Wherever his light shone became his Divine Country.

To their right, the figure of the Main God of Darkness, Ymir, was concealed behind a churning curtain of eternal night. Only a pair of cold, merciless eyes shone from within, their gaze capable of freezing the soul and dragging the will into despair. The authority of Eternal Night Descent he commanded emanated a heart-stopping chill and the stench of decay.

The Three Great Main Gods of the Aitira Realm, summoned by the Celestial Dao, had gathered to confront the invaders.

At that very moment, Xu Yunfan’s voice, tinged with mockery and coldness, drifted into the ears of Red Sun True Monarch and True Monarch Tong Xuan.

“You really dared to follow me.”

Before his words had even faded, his aura vanished completely from the Aitira Realm, as if he had never been there at all.

“You brat!”

Red Sun True Monarch roared in fury, and his Burning Silence Sword hummed, eager to strike. However…

The suppression of this realm’s Celestial Dao descended!

Although the Aitira Realm’s status was lower than that of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, it had still nurtured three Dao Fruits that became the Three Great Main Gods. As such, it was more than capable of suppressing two True Monarchs who were only at the Golden Core Initial Realm.

A great, invisible net of Law tightened around them in an instant.

Red Sun True Monarch discovered to his horror that the ambient energy around him had become incredibly viscous, as if he were trapped in a swamp. Guiding it with his Divine Thought was now an arduous and sluggish task.

The crimson flames that had just erupted from his Burning Silence Sword suddenly dimmed, appearing weak and listless.

At the same time, a strange and unsettling feeling washed over him. It felt as if he could trip over an unseen stone at any moment, and his Divine Thought scans were inexplicably distorted. These were all signs of being plagued by bad luck.

True Monarch Tong Xuan’s expression changed drastically as well. His Formless Sword Spirit, which he controlled with his Divine Thought, felt as if it had been filled with mercury. Its movements were sluggish, and when it cut through space, it created violent ripples, increasing its energy consumption severalfold.

A sudden wave of vexation washed over his Divine Soul, causing an inappropriate, distracting thought to surface at this critical life-or-death moment.

These were the methods of the Aitira’s Celestial Dao.

Suppress external power and invoke misfortune.

“Outer Realm Evil Demons, you shall be slain!”

Orion, Lord of the Firmament, was the first to attack. He pressed down with both hands, and the entire sky seemed to transform into a heavy block of lead, crashing down upon them.

The immense atmospheric pressure instantly distorted space, creating a terrifying, visible force field. Accompanied by the shriek of Gang Winds, it felt like a billion invisible heavy hammers smashing down upon the two men.

Within the force field, Vitality and decay cycled endlessly, attempting to directly corrode the Origin of their Dao Bodies.

“You who have sinned against the light shall have your souls tempered in Divine Fire!”

The Main God of Light, Orion, condensed a spear of pure Holy Light in his hand. An incredibly dazzling point of light erupted from its tip, instantly becoming a destructive beam that could incinerate anything. Carrying the domineering will to purify all creation, it tore through space, shooting straight for Red Sun True Monarch.

Wherever the Light Spear passed, space itself was scorched, leaving blackened scars in its wake.

“Fall… and rot in the eternal, silent dark…”

The figure of the Main God of Darkness, Ymir, vanished like a phantom, reappearing right beside True Monarch Tong Xuan.

His body seemed composed of pure darkness, annihilating all light wherever he passed. A giant claw covered in abyssal Ice Crystals reached out silently, its tips wreathed in the chill of eternal night—a power capable of freezing the soul and decaying a Dao Foundation. It clawed straight for the back of True Monarch Tong Xuan’s heart.

The attack was insidious, deadly, and aimed from a viciously precise angle.

From their very first move, the Three Great Main Gods unleashed their full power. Empowered by their native Celestial Dao, the might of their authority was amplified to its absolute peak.

The entire space trembled violently from the collision of these terrifying powers.

“Light-Departing Flame, burn the heavens and boil the seas!”

Although suppressed by the Celestial Dao, Red Sun True Monarch’s ferocity was completely unleashed.

He knew full well that if he didn’t fight with everything he had now, there would be no escape.

With a furious roar, Red Sun True Monarch frantically spun his Light-Departing Flame Red Sun Dao Fruit. It forcibly wrung energy from the viscous space, while a vast and endless stream of Magical Power erupted from his Grotto Heaven.

After attaining a Dao Fruit, the Grotto Heaven forms a self-sustaining cycle, providing an endless supply of Magical Power. It becomes a small world unto itself, independent of the external environment.

The Burning Silence Sword let out a world-shaking cry, its crimson blade instantly becoming as incandescent and translucent as molten rock.

He swung his sword, unleashing not mere flames, but a raging tsunami of lava.

The crimson-hot magma, infused with a Sword Intent capable of incinerating all creation, surged upward to brazenly clash against the crushing firmament from the Lord of the Firmament and the spear of judgment from the Main God of Light.

RUMBLE!

The lava tsunami collided violently with the gravitational field and the Holy Light Spear. The resulting explosion was so terrifying it tore countless black fissures in space.

Red Sun True Monarch’s Daoist robes whipped about him, his hair and beard standing on end. Every swing of his Burning Silence Sword conjured a sea of fire, allowing him to forcibly carve out a small domain for himself under the pincer attack of the two Main Gods.

But the Celestial Dao’s suppression followed him like a shadow. Drawing in energy was exceptionally difficult; the world itself was holding him back, making the circulation of his Magical Power feel stiff and awkward.

The ferocious power of the Burning Silence Sword was also imperceptibly weakened by the Celestial Dao Laws. Patches of his molten rock were even purified by the Holy Light or scattered by the Gang Winds.

What was even more infuriating was that an aftershock from the Holy Light, which he should have dodged perfectly, grazed his left shoulder and seared his flesh. An inexplicable distortion in the space beneath his feet had slowed his movement by half a step.

Meanwhile, as True Monarch Tong Xuan faced Ymir’s insidious claw attack, his eyes turned as cold as Ten Thousand Years Profound Ice.

“Star-Pivot Returning Ruins, Sword Spirit rends the Void.”

The Power of his Phecda Star-Pivot Sword Soul Dao Fruit erupted. Nine Formless Sword Spirits instantly converged, forming a nearly transparent, distorted greatsword. Wherever its edge pointed, space was sliced apart as easily as paper.

He chose not to meet the claw, which contained the Power of Eternal Night Descent, head-on. Instead, he opted to break the whole by striking a single point, precisely targeting the core node where the power within the claw’s phantom was circulating.

HISS!

A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out, as if Ice Crystals had struck invisible Divine Iron.
