Chapter 1125: Ancient Realm Collapse

The bone-chilling cold that permeated the sky and Mu Xuanyin's profound energy surged wildly. When the terrifying cold reached a critical point of intensity, it transformed into a seemingly tangible energy field, powerfully impacting and distorting Little Jasmine's profound energy domain.

Gradually, she began to feel the rapidly approaching cold.

With a cry of surprise, Little Jasmine, who had been playfully at ease, finally grew serious. Her profound energy domain expanded severalfold, pushing aside all the surrounding cold, and the encroaching chill receded.

Blue light shimmered, like the aurora before dawn. Mu Xuanyin's snowy robes billowed, her jade arms danced, and her Snow Princess Sword drew hundreds of sword shadows in mere moments. The very essence of the world seemed to be drawn in, transforming into a chilling inferno storm from the Netherworld.

The climate of the Illusory Sea Ancient Realm changed drastically. Even a thousand miles away, the surviving creatures wailed in despair amidst the biting wind. At the center of the ice and storm, an ice prison of terror coalesced, something ordinary people could never comprehend even in ten lifetimes.

Little Jasmine rapidly retreated. Her profound energy domain was repeatedly twisted and suppressed, but it immediately restored itself. Neither the cold nor the destruction had ever touched her seemingly delicate body. However, her face showed growing astonishment and disbelief, eventually turning into complete incomprehension.

Although she was merely a Realm King of a Mid-Star Realm, Mu Xuanyin's name was widely known in the Upper-Star Realms and King Realms, because she was, after all, a powerful Divine Master.

No other star realm would easily provoke a star realm that possessed a Divine Master.

However, the power Mu Xuanyin displayed completely surpassed Little Jasmine's expectations, far exceeding all the information and rumors about her.

Under a thousand ice shadows, Little Jasmine's profound energy domain still remained unbroken. For Little Jasmine, this was only natural. Given her identity and elevated standing, even if Mu Xuanyin's strength far exceeded expectations, it was absolutely impossible for her to pose a threat—even if Little Jasmine only used less than thirty percent of her power.

The cold persisted, but the storm and icy light briefly subsided, seemingly due to a lack of sustained power at their peak. Little Jasmine lifted her face, just about to speak, when suddenly, a cry of an Ice Phoenix echoed through the sky. As the Ice Phoenix's wings unfurled, a cerulean ice ring descended from above, directly enveloping Little Jasmine. In an instant, the entire world turned a deep cerulean blue.

The cold, which was thought to have reached its peak, intensified severalfold in an instant.

"Eh!?" Little Jasmine's profound energy was instantly suppressed, then slowly sealed, losing all control. An unprecedented severe cold suddenly struck like thousands of invisible ice blades, directly piercing her profound energy domain, spreading over her entire body, and then penetrating her very soul, eliciting a startled cry from her.

The cerulean ice ring contracted as it descended, continuously pressing down on Little Jasmine's profound energy. It gradually approached within less than thirty feet, and a hint of pain appeared on Little Jasmine's taut face. Finally, her gaze shifted slightly, and an extraordinarily dazzling blue light flashed in her pupils.

BOOM!!!!!!

The Illusory Sea Ancient Realm violently shuddered. A roar, more immense than any thunderclap in the ancient secret realm's history, instantly deafened all living beings within the realm. The cerulean ice ring exploded. All cold energy within an entire hundred-mile radius was instantly expelled, as if wiped clean from the world by an invisible hand. In its place were countless roaring, flashing streaks of azure profound light, like lightning.

Mu Xuanyin was struck as if by a celestial hammer, her figure sent flying a hundred miles backward. When she stopped, there was no change on her snowy face.

Ice-blue and azure, though similar colors, were distinctly separated, dividing the entire ancient realm world into two.

Little Jasmine remained in her previous position, but she had completely lost her former casual, stroll-like demeanor. In her small hands, she now clutched an unusually large azure greatsword.

The sword's blade was wider than the girl's body, and its length was twice that of her height. The thick hilt was too large for the girl to grasp with both hands.

Such a massive sword would be ill-suited even for a nine-foot giant, let alone a delicate young girl. Yet, held in the girl's hands, it presented an extraordinarily strange sense of harmony, as if an irresistible, undeniable voice echoed in one's soul: it was meant to be wielded by her, and only she was truly worthy of wielding it.

The sword's body seemed like steel, yet also like glass. One moment it was dazzling azure, the next it would be dull and lightless. The hilt was a foot long, and the blade had no edge or tip. At the front of the entirely azure blade, two crimson lights flickered, like the savage, bloodthirsty eyes of a wolf feasting on blood.

With the greatsword's appearance, Little Jasmine's aura completely transformed. Previously, she was like a carefree, elfin girl, innocent yet mischievous. Even when displaying power capable of overwhelming Mu Xuanyin, she hardly inspired fear.

But now, her face was completely indifferent. Her aura no longer held any trace of lightness or gentleness; instead, it was the absolute opposite extreme—unparalleled ferocity and brutality!

It was as if an ancient devil god had suddenly awakened, using her tiny body as a vessel.

Broken clouds rolled in the sky, the earth trembled, the vast sea roared, and all beings bowed. At this moment, it was as if the ruler of heaven and earth had descended, and all living and dead beings submitted and trembled in fear.

"Heaven—Wolf—Sacred—Sword!" Mu Xuanyin's icy eyes emitted a brilliant, unusual light.

Little Jasmine said nothing. Her slender arms slowly lifted, holding the azure greatsword upright in the air... There was no anger or killing intent on her, but a battle intent surged like a furious, raging sea. It was as if her sword, her power, was born for battle; once unleashed, it would shake the heavens and terrify the world.

As the greatsword was raised, the countless flickering azure lights slowly shifted. The moment the sword pointed to the sky, they condensed into the shadow of a colossal azure wolf, a hundred miles long.

"W-w-w-what is that!?"

Within the Illusory Sea Ancient Realm, none of the surviving profound practitioners could stand. They all collapsed to the ground, staring into the sky, watching the colossal azure wolf above with extreme horror, their dilated pupils almost filling their entire eye sockets.

Her icy brows furrowed slightly, a hint of solemnity appearing on Mu Xuanyin's snowy face. Her delicate hand lightly swept, and the Snow Princess Sword traced strange trajectories. In a flash, several small profound formations had condensed before her.

At the center of the hundred-mile azure wolf, Little Jasmine finally moved. The azure greatsword lightly swept down, and from her tender lips came a voice that was still ethereal, yet filled with a soul-shaking coldness and majesty: "Heaven—Wolf—Slash!"

"Howl—"

The azure wolf howled into the sky, rushing directly towards Mu Xuanyin, leaving a vast azure trail across the trembling firmament that lingered for a long time.

If Yun Che had been present at that moment, he would have been utterly astonished.

Because this strike was precisely the first sword of the 'Heaven Wolf Hell God Canon' that he had inherited from Jasmine and relied heavily upon—the Heaven Wolf Slash!

However, while it was also the Heaven Wolf Slash, its power, profoundness, and artistic conception surpassed Yun Che's by tens of millions of times.

If Yun Che's Heaven Wolf Slash at its peak was the power of a firefly, then Little Jasmine's strike was like the vast Milky Way.

Mu Xuanyin's figure rapidly retreated. With each flash of her Vanishing Moon Shadow, a pure ice lotus was left behind.

The hundred-mile Heaven Wolf ripped through the air and arrived. Beneath the sky-obscuring wolf shadow, Mu Xuanyin's figure appeared as minuscule as a speck of dust. By this point, ninety-nine ice lotuses had already dotted the space before her. With a flick of her Snow Princess Sword, all the ice lotuses bloomed simultaneously, releasing a sky full of icy splendor.

"Nine Absolute Lotus Heart Array!"

The world instantly fell silent, with only the ice-blue radiance intensifying severalfold. The ninety-nine ice lotuses moved like stars within the blue light, forming a vast stellar array that imprisoned the hundred-mile azure wolf. In a flash, the wolf's shadow ceased its roar, frozen solid and suspended in mid-air.

CRACK!!

After a moment of silence, the ice lotuses and wolf shadow exploded simultaneously. Blue light filled the sky. Although the might of the Heaven Wolf was greatly reduced, its residual power was still terrifying. Mu Xuanyin remained still, gently thrusting her Snow Princess Sword. The Heaven Wolf's remaining power was instantly split in two, whistling past her on both sides. Half a breath later, a cataclysmic tide of destruction echoed from the world behind her.

...? Surprise once again appeared on Little Jasmine's indifferent face. Mu Xuanyin forcing her to reveal the Heaven Wolf Sacred Sword had already greatly shocked her. But the strike she delivered after revealing the Heaven Wolf Sacred Sword had actually been blocked by Mu Xuanyin, and seemingly without much effort.

For her, this was almost incomprehensible.

The Heaven Wolf Sacred Sword was raised again, and the second strike slashed horizontally.

"Barren—Wild—Fang!!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble—

The world's trembling intensified. In every corner of the Illusory Sea Ancient Realm, every living being watched in horror as a colossal azure wolf, as vast as the sky, charged towards them with world-destroying might—

CRACK!!

A colossal spatial rift split open like lightning, stretching across a third of the Illusory Sea Ancient Realm. It persisted for several breaths without healing in the slightest. The Illusory Sea Ancient Realm was no longer merely trembling; it was completely boiling.

The sky and earth directly inverted. All mountains collapsed, and the vast sea overturned. The desperate roars of countless beings were completely drowned out, and then their very lives were buried within the gradually crumbling world.

Whether they were profound practitioners who had entered the Illusory Sea Ancient Realm or the countless profound beasts that originally lived within it, until their deaths, they never knew why they had died.

Natural disaster? How could such a terrifying natural disaster exist in the world?

How could that possibly be the power of a living being!

Separated by the spatial rift that had almost split the ancient realm in two, the two masses of blue light remained dazzling and distinctly separated. Little Jasmine's divine sense traversed hundreds of miles, clearly pinpointing Mu Xuanyin's presence.

The 'Barren Wild Fang,' more powerful than the first strike, still did not defeat Mu Xuanyin, merely forcing her back two hundred miles.

'...' An unusual glint flashed in Little Jasmine's eyes. Following this, her battle intent grew even more ferocious, mirroring the enraged blood-red wolf eyes on the Sacred Sword.

Rip!Rip!

Space was brutally torn apart. With several shifts, hundreds of miles of space were covered in an instant. The two blue figures collided in mid-air, intertwining dozens of times in a flash. The shadow of the Ice Phoenix and the shadow of the Azure Wolf finally clashed. In a world where heaven and earth inverted and laws crumbled, the area where the two were located rapidly formed a vacuum of destruction hundreds of miles wide. Anything that touched it would instantly vanish into nothingness.
