The life force of the Heaven and Earth Giant Beast was incredibly terrifying; even when torn in half by the Apocalypse Emperor Ape, its massive body continued to struggle frantically.

Every twist of its body, covered in a rainbow-colored flame, unleashed power that shook the surrounding heavens and earth, creating waves of dazzling energy halos.

Boom!

The Emperor Ape opened its massive mouth in fury, and in an instant, endless rainbow light spun into a sky-covering vortex, emanating an unparalleled devouring force.

Boom boom!!

The two halves of the giant beast's body, suppressed in the Emperor Ape's claws, were forcibly shoved into the vortex, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The Lord of Celestial Punishment watched this scene, utterly speechless, even a bit dazed, suspecting for a moment whether he was hallucinating.

There was no blood-colored Emperor Ape coming in, nor any transformation into an unstoppable terrifying giant beast.

Everything was an illusion created by the power of the nine-headed giant beast.

After all, this was too exaggerated; Jiang Hou, who was only at the seventh tier a month ago, suddenly invaded the Dark Continent, showcasing god-level power in the residual Divine Realm of the previous civilization.

And this was just the beginning; after exchanging just a few moves, he once again transformed, bursting out with power far beyond the True God Realm.

The oppressive force that swept across the heavens, the terrifying power that tore apart ancient economic giant beasts, felt unbeatable even among main gods.

No, not even the main gods seemed to be its limit.

Roar!

After devouring the Forbidden Giant Beast, the Apocalypse Emperor Ape roared to the sky, its terrifying rumble resonating through the entire Dark Continent, throughout the ruins, piercing the world barriers, echoing through the entire real world.

The roar, like thunder, flashed through the sky at ten thousand meters, seeming both real and illusory.

Yet globally, all Transcendents instinctively felt panic and fear, involuntarily looking up at the sky, as if a world-destroying beast lurked beyond the atmosphere.

On the bustling streets of Yidu, two young girls just returned from another province also looked up at the sky.

Looking at the slowly drifting white clouds, Qin Siyu softly said, "Feitong, I think I just heard Jiang Hou's voice. He seems to be in a bit of pain."

The white-haired girl nodded slightly, "Mm, it's Jiang Hou's roar."

Though the roar was faint, having followed Jiang Hou and mingled with the transformed beast for so long, Feitong was extremely familiar with the Giant Ape's roar.

However, though they discerned a faint sense of pain in the roar, they were helpless about it.

Dark Continent

After the Apocalypse Emperor Ape devoured the nine-headed giant beast, the endless Era Power of the eight obliterated civilizations surged forth, enveloping the Emperor Ape.

The colorful glow emitted by the Era Power almost covered the entire Divine Realm.

At the center of the colored light, the massive form continued to expand, reaching over twelve hundred kilometers, radiating an incredibly vast and terrifying aura, shaking the entire Divine Realm.

Before the suppressed, immovable Lord of Celestial Punishment and others could speak, a crisp click echoed throughout heaven and earth.

The already broken Divine Realm reached a critical point, unable to bear the existence of the Apocalypse Emperor Ape any longer, and began to fragment, collapse...

On the Dark Continent, Li Jie and others watched in shock as white meteors continued to fall from the sky.

These were solidified world crystal walls, revealing behind them endless black spatial turbulence, like a world-ending flood descending from the sky.

"Watch out!"

"Retreat, retreat..."

Boom! The destructive turbulence over ten thousand kilometers in diameter pierced through heaven and earth, instantly engulfing the unexplored half of the Dark Continent.

Under the terrifying force, the land shattered, mountains collapsed, countless ancient ruins and powerful monsters turned to dust in an instant, everything annihilated, heaven and earth overturned.

In this apocalyptic catastrophe, even Demigods frantically retreated, unable to resist, unable to withstand.

Just as the impact capable of eradicating most of humanity erupted, three towering figures descended from the sky, golden chains falling, piercing heavens and earth.

Boom boom boom!!

Kilometer-thick chains pierced through the earth, forming a row of sky pillars extending for miles, creating a golden barrier in front of all humans.

Even with True Gods intervening, the impact equivalent to destroying continents several times Earth's size still caused the light screen to shake violently.

After what seemed like ages, the oppressive rumble, terrifying even to Demigods, slowly subsided, and everyone's vision, blinded by the pain, began to recover.

Unknowingly, the entire 'world' was enveloped in rainbow light.

In front of the already obliterated other half of the Dark Continent, endless rainbow light gathered in the sky, with a vaguely towering silhouette standing at the center of the glow.

The most terrifying was the supreme Emperor-like aura felt earlier, now even more formidable, filling heaven and earth.

Bang bang bang!!

Everyone present buckled, knees going soft, directly kneeling, including the Demigods; only three True Gods and a barely upright Jiang Ruochan remained standing with difficulty.

Li Jie, legs weak, couldn't help but curse, "Damn, kneeled again!"

Not far away, Hua Tian was also troubled; as a dignified Demigod Powerhouse, today's invisible bloodline pressure made him kneel twice.

This even made him doubt if he was really a Demigod.

Luckily, the terrifying Emperor-like pressure only lingered for a moment before being retracted by the Apocalypse Emperor Ape.

At this moment, everyone's gaze turned to the distance, where a white road, slowly materializing over the destroyed Dark Continent, glittered brilliantly.

At the end of the road, a hundred kilometers wide, spanning thousands of kilometers across the dark abyss, stood two hundred-kilometer-high Divine Halls.

Space twisted behind the two Divine Halls, vaguely floating a boundless continent.

Instantly, energy surged among all present, someone excitedly exclaiming, "Divine Halls of Inheritance, and there are two of them, enough godly substances inside for two Demigods to enter the Divine Realm."

"The space behind those two Divine Halls should be the legendary Burial Ground."

"Records indicate that during the Divine Era, access to that place was achieved by exploring the obliterated relics of seven past eras, leading to the opening of the Extraordinary Era."

Boom boom boom!!

The appearance of the Divine Halls of Inheritance prompted Demigods to act restlessly, their aura bursting, transforming into streaks of rainbow light soaring towards those two Divine Halls.

Among these people, besides Jiang Ruochan, four unique auras erupted.

The unique fluctuations of the Inheritance Marks resonated with the Divine Halls, causing the halls to tremble, the ornate Divine Patterns on their surfaces lighting up one by one, and the doors below vibrating.

Inheritance Marks were the 'keys' to open the halls; whoever entered first would gain acknowledgment and monopolize all god-making substances.

Similarly, Demigods without marks could, at the moment the inheritors opened the doors, blast them away, repel them, or even kill them, to enter the halls and seize the god-making substances.

With this thought, the atmosphere in midair turned serious.

Especially the eight extreme Demigods, emanating dreadful killing intent, their gaze fixed on those five with Inheritance Marks, particularly those not belonging to their faction.

But just then...

Boom! A streak of rainbow light swept across heaven and earth, forming an arc spanning thousands of kilometers, sweeping all Demigods aside, except for Jiang Ruochan.
