"Morax" gritted his teeth, struggling to withstand the relentless assault from three Qiu Bai!
Not only did he have to fend off Qiu Bai main body, but he also had to counter the Yin and Yang clones, each possessing half the strength of the original!
Inside a monochrome protective barrier, Bonanus stood frozen in awe.
"Immortal Lord is so strong."
Even though she was shielded, the sheer pressure of the divine battle left her face pale.
"Morax" clenched his jaw; it was clear his divine power was running low he wouldn't be able to hold out much longer.
His eyes flicked left and right before he suddenly retreated at full speed!
The Yin-Yang clones, unable to stop their attacks due to momentum, collided with each other!
Qiu Bai pupils shrank, and he immediately retreated as well.
The black and white divine forces seemed to be merging and repelling simultaneously, before suddenly—
BOOM!
A massive divine explosion erupted from the point of impact!
The shockwave sent the Yin-Yang clones flying, launching them through two mountains before they finally crashed to a halt.
A thick cloud of dust and debris billowed into the air.
"Damn, Morax, this bastard..."
"That was some real rat tactics."
Qiu Bai stared blankly at Morax, who was now hovering high above the battlefield, not expecting him to pull off such a trick.
But then, he noticed something—
"Looks like he's at his limit."
Qiu Bai narrowed his eyes, watching as Morax, gasping for breath, steadied himself in midair.
After a moment, Morax stopped panting, and with a flick of his wrist, the Vortex Vanquisher materialized in his hands.
He retracted the remnants of his golden divine energy, then cast a faint smile toward Qiu Bai.
"Oh? So now you want to fight me with pure martial skill?"
Qiu Bai smirked. With a wave of his hand, a longsword appeared in his grasp.
He too, retracted his monochrome divine energy.
But Qiu Bai knew the truth—this Morax was out of divine power.
Meanwhile, his own divine energy was still plentiful and steadily recovering.
With no words exchanged, the two warriors clashed head-on!
The clang of weapons echoed through the battlefield as their duel raged from the skies to the ground, and from the land into the ocean!
Suddenly—
"Shit!"
With a sharp cry, Qiu Bai was sent flying out of the sea, slamming into a mountain with such force that the bedrock beneath it cracked apart!
He clutched his bleeding arm, gritting his teeth as he glared toward the ocean.
"Can't deny it… The War God really knows his way around a weapon."
But then, Qiu Bai smirked.
"Who said I had to fight you one-on-one?"
As he used white divine energy to heal his wound, the injury vanished within moments, restoring his flawless skin.
He then turned toward Morax, who was slowly emerging from the ocean and grinned slyly.
From the mountains behind him, two figures one black and one white soared into the sky once more.
Each wielding a longsword, they shot toward "Morax" like streaks of light!
"Count me in!"
Qiu Bai laughed heartily and flew toward "Morax" as well!
Clashes of metal rang out incessantly, even the Martial God Morax could not fend off three attackers at once.
After holding out for a while, he was finally pierced through the body by Qiu Bai Chaos Sword!
"Morax's" figure plummeted from the sky!
Boom!
He crashed onto the ground!
Qiu Bai withdrew his two avatars and then gazed upon the place where "Morax" had fallen.
The entire Guili Plains, along with the surrounding ocean, had been transformed into solid rock by the residual energy of "Morax" death.
Qiu Bai surveyed the scene around him, it was like the end of the world.
Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down. Towering waterspouts still raged across the sea, while Guili Plains slowly turned into stone.
Massive ocean waves surged toward the land, only to be petrified before they could strike. A colossal shadow loomed over Guili Plains.
Qiu Bai sighed at the sight, then took off toward Bonanus location.
"Bonanus, it's over."
"It's time we return to reality."
Seeing Bonanus pale face, Qiu Bai channeled some white divine energy into her, helping her recover slightly.
"Immortal Lord!"
"You're incredible! You actually defeated the Emperor!"
It was only now that Bonanus fully grasped what had happened. Her small hands pressed against her chin as she looked at Qiu Bai with an expression of pure admiration.
"Heh."
"I told you I'd be fine."
Qiu Bai chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly before shifting his gaze toward the massive black face in the sky.
With a casual flick of his hand, he dispelled the restraints that had been sealing its gaping mouth.
"T-This is impossible!"
"How can you be this powerful?! Why didn't I see you during the Archon War?!"
The Dream Archon was utterly bewildered, staring at Qiu Bai position in shock.
Such a formidable god, how had he never heard of him during the Archon War?
"There's a lot you don't know."
"But now, it's time for us to leave."
Qiu Bai glanced at the Dream Archon but paid him no further attention.
Sitting cross-legged in midair, he slowly closed his eyes.
Dark-white divine energy surged from his body, then disappeared into the dream world.
"T-This can't be happening!"
"How could my authority be broken so easily?!"
The Dream Archon looked on in disbelief as Qiu Bai vanished.
He frantically searched for Qiu Bai presence within the dream world only to find that he was truly gone.
As he turned to Bonanus, intending to mock her as the last remaining "stray fish".
Bonanus figure disappeared as well.
"Wait, what the hell?!"
"Aren't I supposed to be the God of Dreams?!"
The Dream Archon stared blankly at Bonanus vanishing figure. If Qiu Bai had disappeared, that was still understandable— after all, he was powerful enough to defeat Morax.
But that Yaksha, what was going on?
In the Real World
Qiu Bai extended a single finger, dark-white divine energy swirling around it.
He lightly tapped Bonanus forehead, and she immediately awakened from the Dream Archon control.
"Immortal Lord, we're awake."
"Where is that Dream Archon?"
Qiu Bai gaze shifted to a nearby woman.
She was stunningly seductive, her alluring features marred only by the eerie black pupils in her slowly opening eyes.
"I see… So you must be Liyue's so-called Yin-Yang Immortal Lord from people dreams."
"No wonder you were able to defeat the God of Rock."
Her voice trembled with fear as she locked eyes with Qiu Bai.
Judging by her unsettling black pupils, she was undoubtedly the so-called God of Dreams.
"I don't have time to chat with you."
"After dealing with you, I still need to collect my Mora from them."
Qiu Bai gestured toward the unconscious figures behind him. Then, as his palm exuded a strange, ominous black aura, he pointed it directly at the seductive woman in the distance.
"As a reward for giving me a thrilling battle…"
"I'll make sure you die without pain."
His voice was indifferent as he looked at the Dream Archon before him.
Based on his own assessment, this so-called "God of Dreams" only possessed a lower-tier level of strength.
And the fact that she had controlled Xiao for nearly hundreds of years, that alone had already sealed her fate in his eyes.
"N–No…"
The woman barely had time to utter a word before her body slowly disintegrated into countless black specks of light.
She vanished entirely, not even a trace of a god lingering resentment remained.
Just like that, she was completely obliterated by Qiu Bai.
