Two figures collided fiercely, the aftermath of their force sweeping across a ten-mile radius, the earth unable to bear the terrifying power, instantly triggering a magnitude nine earthquake.

Rumble~

The earth shook and the mountains swayed, buildings collapsed, and the ground cracked open.

Centered at the point of confrontation between the Plague Knight and Qi Shengtian, the entire city within a ten-mile radius turned into rubble and ruins.

Even many aberrant creatures with Grandmaster-level physiques were brutally suppressed and killed.

"Ah~"

The Plague Knight let out a low roar, his body torn open with hundreds of wounds by the wild fist force: "The Military Family's legacy, Emperor Dragon Dominator?"

"Hahaha! It is indeed the Imperial Family Martial Arts of the Linn Race!"

Qi Shengtian's mouth overflowed with blood, heavily injured yet still laughing heartily: "Plague Knight, does this punch have enough force for you?"

"Remnants of the Linn Race, you should have been completely exterminated back then!"

The Plague Knight felt the bloodline heritage within Qi Shengtian, originating from the power of the Winged Dragon, as the Qi Family were descendants of the Dragon Emperor's lineage.

It was precisely because of this that when Qi Shengtian accidentally entered the fallen Milo Grotto Heaven back then, he was able to be guided by the remnant soul of the Winged Dragon, obtaining the Treasure Manuals of "Fish-into-Dragon Transformation" and "Six Military Techniques".

Among them, "Six Military Techniques", was even handed over to the Dongji Kingdom by Qi Shengtian, just to once again promote the ancient Military Family arts of the Linn Race, thus accumulating the Power of Thought Ability, allowing the Path of Military Struggle of the Winged Dragon to continue.

If it weren't for this, the consciousness of the Winged Dragon could not have awakened when the Plague Knight used his divine power authority.

"Damn pest, I will crush you!"

The Plague Knight intended to swing the great sword and kill Qi Shengtian, but inside him, the will of the Winged Dragon once again hindered his actions, attempting to seize control of the Divine Body.

"Ah!!! Winged Dragon!"

"Plague, today is your day of death."

"A defeated opponent, dare to brag?"

"Heh, back then I was defeated by the Emperor Slayer Sword, not by your hands. What's there to be smug about? Now you want to steal my Path of Celestial Calculation, using the Path of Evolution to usurp, embedding yourself into the foundational laws of the Blue Star? Have you asked for my opinion?"

"Winged Dragon! This time, I will personally slay you!"

In a fit of rage, the Plague Knight, who had schemed and planned for thousands of years to descend upon Blue Star and complete the mission bestowed by the Emperor Slayer, was now obstructed by the persistent interference of the Winged Dragon.

"You have no chance now."

Ye Qingzhou's cold voice suddenly resonated in the Plague Knight's ear.

The Plague Knight was startled, but when he realized it, his chest had already been pierced from behind by a dark golden great sword, piercing through.

"The Sword of Emptiness, able to shield my Divine Thought Perception..."

Having been backstabbed by a sword from Ye Qingzhou, the Plague Knight finally realized that he had subconsciously ignored Ye Qingzhou's presence, focusing instead on the Winged Dragon and Qi Shengtian.

At this moment, a nameless sense of panic arose within him.

Ye Qingzhou's Infinite Heart Image was too terrifying, even able to shield the Divine Thought of an Emperor Realm Martial God. Such a bizarre ability, in combat, was practically akin to invisibility, making it unbearably hard to guard against.

"You all must die!"

The more the Plague Knight fought, the more he realized that Ye Qingzhou was the most threatening among all Martial Saints: "For the great plan of the Emperor Venerable, you cannot be allowed to live!"

Powerful Divine Thought, using the Spiritual Realm as a medium, frantically injected into the Plague Knight's body.

Originally, he only intended to project a Divine Thought projection, but now to kill Ye Qingzhou, he had to further invest, his true body crossing realms to descend.

Crack, crack~

The Divine Body, augmented by Plague Divine Power crafted from the flesh of Zhuang Ban City, was now strained to the limit, as if it was a balloon that could burst at any moment.

"Pity this body cherished by the fate of the Dongji People, yet as long as I can kill you, it is all worth it."

The Plague Knight's aura surged once more.

Now, he had at least the foundation of a Celestial King Martial God, a terrifying power enough to crush the entire field: "This Divine Body can hold for seven breaths, but you, you can't even last one second."

The overwhelming wave of life force surged forth, causing Ye Qingzhou to shiver incessantly, every cell within him trembling.

The enemy before him was unimaginably terrifying.

He was going to die!

The Plague Knight reached to pull out the Dragon Abyss Sword embedded in his body, but upon trying, discovered that this Divine Weapon had taken root within him, unable to be pulled out.

Not only that, but he was even appalled to find that the Dragon Abyss Sword was absorbing his power and authority.

Or rather, the Dragon Abyss Sword was contesting for the Path of Celestial Calculation originally belonging to the Winged Dragon within him.

"Ah!!! Winged Dragon! It's you!"

"Indeed, it's me."

The Winged Dragon laughed heartily: "Plague, you were too careless, daring to go all out without a clear picture of the situation, thinking you could overwhelm my remnant soul. However, the real killing move was never me, but this sword."

"Good child, take my power, inherit my legacy."

On the Emperor's Sword Longyuan, an exquisitely beautiful figure appeared.

A maiden with dragon horns and dragon scales at the corner of her eyes, her beauty was unparalleled, and from the translucent dragon scales around her brows, it was evident she was a Dragon Maiden.

Possessing the royal bloodline of the Linn Race, a direct descendant of the Winged Dragon, she was crafted into an Emperor Wu Divine Weapon capable of bearing the power of the Dao.

Everything was too perfect, as if fate's arrangement was to set this deadlock today against the Plague Knight.

"Damn it!!!"

Only now did the Plague Knight realize, whether it was the Winged Dragon, Qi Shengtian, or Ye Qingzhou, they were all decoys; only the Emperor's Sword Longyuan was the true killing move.

This was a conspiracy against him!

And only those standing at both the upstream and downstream of the River of Time, the ancient Emperor Monarchs working together, could set up such an age-spanning scheme.

"Sword Emperor! Cyan Emperor!"

The Plague Knight's heart was filled with boundless hatred, yet what panicked him even more was another matter: "Why didn't the Net of All Causes foresee this in advance! Variables... only variables not within the 'predestined fate' can disrupt the timeline... Who, who is it!"

He glanced around, finally remembering in shock that the possessor of the Emperor's Sword Longyuan was Ye Qingzhou.

And the one who stabbed the Dragon Abyss into his body was Ye Qingzhou.

"It's you!"

The Plague Knight's scarlet eyes suddenly turned towards Ye Qingzhou, revealing intense killing intent.

At this moment, he finally woke up to the fact that the variable disrupting the Net of All Causes and breaking the predestined fate wasn't Zhangg Xinwu, but the young man before him.

"Only now realizing the truth, it's already too late."

The Winged Dragon injected the authority of the Path of Celestial Calculation and the Path of Military Struggle into the sword edge of the Dragon Abyss: "Even though you destroyed the Inverted Yin and Yang Array, the secret technique effect of the Cyan Emperor's lineage remains, concealing the Celestial Secrets here, your Divine Thought cannot be transmitted out, carry the secret to your death."

The Plague Knight no longer responded, holding the Twin Serpent Greatsword high, directly slashing towards his own head, intending to kill himself, letting his Divine Thought retreat to the Spiritual Realm to report to the Net of All Causes that Ye Qingzhou was the variable.

"Heh, want to kill yourself, is it that easy?"

The Winged Dragon seized control of the left hand of the Divine Body, blocking the Twin Serpent Greatsword, clearly not wanting the Plague Knight to escape through self-destruction: "However, if you truly wish to die, I can fulfill that wish."

At this time, the Cyan Dragon Divine General stood up, summoning the Dubhe System for aid, injecting near limitless Power of Thought Ability into the Divine Weapon in his hand.

An overwhelming power capable of destroying heaven and earth gathered continuously in his palm.

Feeling this godly power fluctuation capable of obliterating everything, the Plague Knight was horrified: "Godslaying Spear!"

The Path of Destruction from the Great Black Heaven, this was a terrifying authority capable of threatening even the Emperor Slayer, the Plague Knight knew he couldn't resist, and his eyes were filled with despair.

"No!"

His head was pierced fiercely by the Godslaying Spear, the raging destructive Divine Power causing his Divine Thought to forever sink into the depths of the Spiritual Realm, never to return or awaken.

Watching the headless body collapse with a loud thud, the Plague's divine power fluctuations completely disappeared, and only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
