At the edge of the ever expanding cosmos, nine heavenly auras were heading in a particular direction. Every movement from them etched great number of Dao marks and showed subtle changes in the laws of the world and became an anomaly.

But no long after that, the Dao marks were erased by a formless power.

Usually fifth heaven was always chaotic but today, it seemed to be unnaturally peacefull as everyone's eyes were locked into this battle's resuls.

"He is undergoing the tribulation in a situation like this?" Said one of the 9 Immortal Emperors with an incredulous look.

"No wonder, reaching Rank 8 is the only option at his disposal or today he is going to die." Another one said in an ethereal voice.

"This is the final chance to kill him." Someone quietly reminded.

The Immortal Emperors heard her and had a complex expression.

Everyone knew what this meant. They were not some old friends nor eternal enemies.

These people might be working together but this is just a temporary alliance binded by mere words. Nobody wanted to make the first move, as it would mean they will be exposing themselves to the eight emperors, revealing their Trump cards and severely weaken themselves in the process.

After all the person they are fighting against is a total monster.

The 9 emperors had a solemn expression as they looked forward. What they saw both astonished them and sent shiver down their spine.

An image of a young man who was hundreds of time bigger than a galaxy was sitting crossed legs in the infinite cosmos. His eyes were closed and his lips were pursed together. Like a majestic deity who descended from the heavens above.

The more the 9 emperors got close to him the smaller he became until they were right before him.

"Xue An quickly hand over your life and end this conflict for good."

The 9 emperors looked down on Xue An from above. Their eyes were sharp like a sword and they were ready for any surprise attacks.

Xue An opened his brown eyes but did not answer them instead he looked to his left.

He was already at the very edge of the universe and the view here could not fully described by words.

After a brief moment of looking at his surroundings Xue An looked in a particular direction, his eyes becoming a hint of goldern in the process, piercing through the secrets of the heaven so very tiny bit.

After a few seconds of this Xue An's eyes started to bleed intensely but he did not retreat his gaze instead, he accelerated the time flow of the surrounding and himself.

A large amount of knowledge was absorbed by Xue An in this short period of time.

As if heavens did not like it, a strange phenomena started forming in the surroundings. Ripples started appearing in space and Qi of the area had vanished.

Xue An sighed after witnessing this but the 9 emperors' eyes had widen.

"Heavens will has gone this far to kill him, what is it planning?" Everyone had a similar question.

Heavens' way was balance and it would never interfere with the worlds directly. This event was above the speculation of the 9 emperors.

Xue An still had open gaze and the secrets of heaven were passed down to him. Heavens will was even more enraged but currently this is as far as it can go.

Actually Xue An's Qi was already mostly depleted, and the wounds on his body became Irrecoverable. Heavens will would be breaking the Dao Laws if it used more methods than this.

Boom!

A mighty bold of lightning was launched at Xue An. Its size covered the vision of everyone but Xue An did not flinch. He stood up and did a side kick, instantaneously destroying the attack. But in the process he was extremely tired.

The person who launched the attack was the Supreme elder of Soul Lightning Sect.

Looking at his attack being nullified completely he did not feel disheartened instead he looked at the other immortals who were frowning a little.

In fact the attack just now was one of the special attacks of Soul Lightning Sect it's Qi consumption is is extremely low, now that the Supreme elder had used that attack the other Immortals were also obliged to use theirs as well.

But who had a special attack that doesn't require much Qi and can be used in a battle of this magnitude? No one.

This meant that they will lose their Qi much faster than others.

The others were also not fools, after a second of thinking the leader of 7 Talisman God Sect suggested to attack Xue An at the same time and end this battle quickly.

...

"To combine my Dantian into void I need to use an inestimable amount of energy."

Xue An calculated it and laughed lightly. Instantly he quietly activated a mysterious technique and looked at heavens will in anticipation.

Suddenly, the entire universe seemed to rumble slightly, it was so lightly only cultivators of higher cultivation could sense it. But the 9 Emperors had a much bigger fear than that.

"How can there be so much Heavens will present at a single place?!" They thought, "And this! This!"

"Now" Xue An lightly said and as if it sensed his intention, heavens will finally broke the Laws of Dao and attacked him!

It had started sealing the fifth heaven and a beam of terrifying aura was launched at Xue AnAn from nowhere. First it looked like a beam but it was actually changing its form! It took the form of myriad beings who used a grand killer move that affected the entire universe.

Xue An subtly felt his memories being torn apart and new ones appearing in their place. His entire body's state was overwritten and he became weak.

Not only him but even the 9 emperors.. No all the people who share karma with Xue An were experiencing this.

Heaven was actually changing reality!

But Xue An had already used his martial arts long ago. He self detonated.

Swoosh~ BOOM!

The dark space was colored Golden and the planets or stars that were close by had already faced their destruction. First they broke into several pieces, next they turned into scraps. Then even the scraps were destroyed into atoms.

Not only that but the universe's boundary was blown to oblivion.

There was a vast crack in the universe!

Although the Immortals present here could travel faster than speed of light, they did not get much time to react, as they sensed a grand and immeasurable aura that terrified them to the core, but it disappeared just after forming.

Xue An saw every single moment of this second extremely slowly to the point that he even thought time had stopped moving.

There was no time - time to think as he was pulled out of the universe by an unknown force as if he had no strength to resist. As he was being pulled into the sky he could see stellar clouds of different size. Some were as small as planets while some were bigger than a universe. There were areas where space was completely distorted while there were times when he seemed to look at past itself. Although he noticed the changes his body was going through.

Now started his cleansing process.

Reincarnation and Enlightenment.

In less than a second of Xue An's self destruction a golden light of unknown origin also escaped out of the universe. It has escaped the fifth Heaven!

...

Void.

This was the name of this "place". It was something as well as nothing. A location that can't be accessed by normal means.

At this moment every single speck of energy in all forms gathered at a single spot in the void and exploded with unimaginable force expanding to every direction. Just one second after the explosion, an inestimable number of processes had taken place including the formation of subatomic particles.

But one thing to note was that a figure was present at the point of the explosion.

The figure slowly opened his eyes and remembered the events that happened up until now.

At first he was baffled by his surrounding, but then he remembered his life.

Xue An looked at his feet and laughed to himself, at first it was slow and cool but then it became uncontrollable and loud.

"I shall be God I shall be Heaven, in whom all things lie, pervasiveness".
