Chapter 410 302: Power of Taiyi Phoenix and Carefree Wanderings

[Snap—!]

[Bai Ze emerged from the Ancient Ruins, and the Blood Lotus Demon Army had already invaded the Cosmic Center. She immediately gathered the power of the Eight Primordial Gems and snapped her fingers.]

["Let everyone achieve a perfect life." Bai Ze still held everyone's wishes in her heart.]

[The Apocalypse Divine Artifact responded—it was the Cosmic Center.]

[The brilliance of the Eight Primordial Gems abruptly converged into a dazzling beam of light, shooting straight into the sky. As the beam passed, space began to distort, and the surrounding scenes gradually blurred, turning into a patch of Chaos.]

[At that moment, the whole universe seemed to fall into a brief standstill. Stars ceased to move, rivers froze in mid-air, and even the wind lost its sound.]

[Then, everything began to collapse.]

["Harmonization!"]

[In this static space-time, Xiao Ying lowered his head, his palm disintegrating into ashes and starting to scatter, in the blink of an eye, the Crimson Sun suddenly expanded and spread throughout the entire universe.]

["This time... I'm the one who ran out of time to say goodbye."]

[He looked into the distance, smiled, and his flesh body inevitably perished.]

[At this moment.]

[At the Cosmic Center, within the dimension of the Ancient Ruins, the "Primordial Gem" sealed inside the Jet Black Obelisk shattered.]

[An imperceptible, formless existence disappeared.]

...

...

Fifth Cosmos.

Galactic Center, Galaxy University.

Divine Dragon Class.

A gentle breeze blew through the window.

"How strange, why does this scene feel so familiar..."

Jiu Yue was clad in a white training robe, with silver Divine Dragon patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar. She stood at the podium, her gaze glancing at the corner where a purple-haired girl sat.

Jiu Yue's expression was somewhat dazed, her thoughts unconsciously drifting far away.

In her youth, she had once gained the recognition of "Divine Dragon Power," emerging from the Cosmic Center, she fought alongside her companions, traversing the Star River, and created the Martial Arts rule "Divine Dragon Sky-Splitting Palm," becoming the first Purple Gold Level Martial Arts Practitioner in the cosmos.

Those glorious memories surged like a tide—the life-and-death showdown between the Divine Dragon Squad and Xuanyin Demon Venerable, the decisive battle for the destruction of Bone-Eroding Demon Venerable, each battle seemed etched into her very bones, impossible to forget.

Yet, after the victory, she did not return to her Mother Star; instead, she wandered aimlessly throughout the universe, as if searching for something she couldn't quite articulate.

Until one day, she unexpectedly came to the Milky Way Galaxy, drawn by its tranquility and peace, and randomly chose a picturesque place to settle in seclusion.

She thought she could thus stay away from conflict, but unexpectedly was visited in person by Mu Yan senior, inviting her to teach Martial Dao at Galaxy University.

"Teacher Jiu Yue, back then, you dominated the cosmos, defeating Purple Gold Advanced Professionals with just a Blue Soul Level, breaking the Supreme evaluation as the greatest Martial Arts Practitioner in the entire universe. The 'Divine Dragon Sky-Splitting Palm' is acknowledged as the foremost Ultimate Skill in the universe, we would love to see it for ourselves."

A student's voice pulled her back to reality.

Jiu Yue snapped back to attention, refocusing her gaze on the students in the classroom. Her expression regained calmness, and a gentle smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

She raised her hand, and a strand of silver light slowly formed in her palm, within which the silhouette of a Divine Dragon could faintly be seen spiraling and floating.

"The Divine Dragon Sky-Splitting Palm, it's not merely a Martial Skill, but rather an ultimate control over power. When the palm is released, it's unstoppable like a dragon, but its true essence lies in..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over every face in the classroom, finally resting on the purple-haired girl in the corner,

"The unity of mind and force."

...

...

Class dismissed for the Divine Dragon Class.

Pushing open the office door, Jiu Yue immediately heard a crisp laugh from below.

"Hehehe, Xiaoyue, no, now it should be Teacher Jiu Yue~~~~"

The voice carried a touch of mockery, mixed with a familiar fondness.

Jiu Yue looked up, only to see a purple-haired child standing with folded arms, raising her head to look at her. The child's purple hair was tied into two small buns, her large eyes behind the glasses curved into crescent moons, her smiling expression betraying a hint of mischief.

"Captain Dabai, did you come specifically to find me for something?" Jiu Yue asked.

"Can't I just check in on Xiaoyue?" Bai Ze blinked, suddenly leaping up to settle comfortably on Jiu Yue's shoulder. Her legs dangled lightly.

Her hands naturally rested atop Jiu Yue's head, as if she were using her as a personal chair.

"You haven't changed one bit." Jiu Yue was slightly taken aback by her sudden action, reluctantly adjusting her fingers against her forehead.

"As expected of Teacher Jiu Yue~~ back then you'd have tossed me off without hesitation." Bai Ze giggled.

"Divine Dragon Squad—" Jiu Yue sighed, but her tone carried a trace of nostalgia. Her gaze softened slightly, and through Bai Ze's figure, she glimpsed the years of fighting side by side.

Bai Ze tilted her head, leaning close to Jiu Yue's ear, lowering her voice, "Actually, I'm here for something important."

Jiu Yue sensed a shift in her tone, and her expression grew serious accordingly. She turned her head to meet Bai Ze's eyes, asked in a low voice, "What's happened?"

"...The Cosmic Center, lately, has been quite turbulent."

"Turbulent?" Jiu Yue was puzzled, "Captain Xuanming defeated the Soul Refining Demon Venerable and has now understood 'Black Nether Prison' becoming the new King of Black for Black Nether Star Cluster... Plus, weren't the Twelve Demon Venerables imprisoned by everyone?"

"Not the Fifth Cosmos, it's the First Cosmos."

Bai Ze replied solemnly.

"The 'Soul Refining Demon Venerable' of the First Cosmos has already evolved with the 'Extreme Demon Dragon Power' into a Radiant Life Form, unifying the entire First Cosmos, and is now leading the 'Soul Refining Demon Army' to conquer the Eight Great Parallel Cosmos."
