Lin Xiao's vertebrae burst one after another as a nano-scale Immortal Slaying Sword Array erupted from his marrow. Chaos blood tears streamed from his left eye, while his right projected a holographic combat interface. The space behind him suddenly unfurled twelve pairs of wings—the left side bore Immortal Crane feathered wings condensed from spiritual energy, while the right bore photon wings entangled by quantum mechanics.
Eighth-generation Hongjun core code detected. The Observer Colossus's chest reactor overloaded, firing an antimatter River Diagram and Luo Script. Executing formatting protocol!
Lin Xiao formed the Supreme Clarity Thunder Art with his left hand, while quantum talismans automatically formed in his right. When Chaos Divine Thunder collided with binary lightning, the entire Primordial Chaos Sea suddenly faded into black, white, and gray—this was the dimensional downgrade program activated by the Overseer!
"Fellow cultivator, catch the sword!" With the First Generation White-Haired Cultivator's furious roar, his Technological Lotus Platform suddenly seemed to have had its skeleton pulled out and swiftly disintegrated. The thirty-six thousand Nano Immortal Slaying Swords once embedded in the platform instantly gathered like a disturbed swarm of bees into a surging torrent that swept straight toward Lin Xiao.
Facing this sudden attack, Lin Xiao's quantum right eye activated at once, automatically analyzing the sword array's source code within the torrent. In his vision, the structure and operational patterns of those nanoparticles unfolded one by one. Yet what utterly stunned him was that these seemingly ordinary nanoparticles had actually been forged from collapsed Great Desolation Worlds!
This discovery sent a chill through Lin Xiao's heart. He realized this was no simple battle, but one involving the survival or destruction of the entire universe. At that moment, as though sensing the fear in his heart, his photon wings abruptly expanded to a light-year scale and tightly wrapped around him.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao drove the photon wings to maximum power, trying to tear open a gap in the torrent. Under the force of the dimensionality-reduction strike, the photon wings collided violently with the stream of Nano Immortal Slaying Swords. In an instant, space-time seemed to rip apart, and an opening resembling a Klein Bottle appeared before Lin Xiao.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xiao rushed into the opening. As he passed through the four-dimensional folds, he witnessed a staggering sight—a colossal Observer Colossus floated before him. And hanging within the colossus's quantum core were a million Investiture of the Gods Universes compressed into tiny particles!
Within every compressed universe stood a Sect Master Tongtian. Yet these Sect Master Tongtians no longer resembled the one Lin Xiao knew. Their bodies had been transformed into humanoid batteries, endlessly supplying energy to that terrifying Immortal Slaying Sword Array.
"Is this... the truth behind the Immortal Slaying Sword Array?" Lin Xiao's cultivation primordial spirit trembled violently at that moment. He could not believe what he was seeing. Yet his mechanical genes took effect then, driving him to thrust out the code of the God-Slaying Spear without hesitation.
The instant the Nano Immortal Slaying Swords pierced through the dimensional barrier, every Sect Master Tongtian in the compressed universes suddenly raised his head at once. Their gazes met, as though crossing countless spans of space and time. Then, as if controlled by an invisible force, the Green Ping Swords in their hands turned simultaneously, their points aimed straight at Lin Xiao.
In the eleven-dimensional universe, the Observer Colossus's alarm thundered through the entire space. Warning! Logical loop compromised, Hongjun Protocol invalid! The alarm sounded like a death knell for the end of days, foretelling an unprecedented crisis about to descend.
At that moment, Lin Xiao's body underwent a shocking transformation. The left half of his body suddenly became demonic, and beneath his once-smooth skin, the neural network of the Chaos Green Lotus flickered in and out of view. The eerie sight was enough to make one's blood run cold, as though some unknown force were eroding him.
Lin Xiao stared at his body in shock and discovered that his cultivation bloodline was madly devouring the mechanical genes within him. These two utterly different powers clashed fiercely inside his body, subjecting him to immense pain.
Yet amid the chaos, a figure suddenly appeared in the depths of Lin Xiao's sea of consciousness—Qin Yu's phantom. The phantom had originally been blurry and indistinct, but it suddenly became exceptionally solid, as though he stood right before Lin Xiao.
Qin Yu's voice rang out in Lin Xiao's mind: Use the negative-entropy algorithm of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation to rewrite their quantum immortality protocol! The command flashed through Lin Xiao's mind like lightning, and he immediately understood Qin Yu's intent.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao pressed his palms together and formed a Chaos seal. The instant his hands touched, the entire battlefield's timeline suddenly began spiraling, as though twisted by an invisible hand.
The flow of time became extraordinarily bizarre, and the Observer Colossus's movements began playing in reverse. The Nano Immortal Slaying Sword Array, which had been unleashing destructive force, now reversed into a creation program, as though time itself had been completely reversed at that instant.
The First Generation White-Haired Cultivator burst into wild laughter within the vortex of time. "So reversing the Immortal Slaying Sword Array is the true Sky-Opening Axe!" His laughter revealed both insight into the truth and scorn for fate.
Yet at that critical moment, every Sect Master Tongtian in the compressed universes suddenly self-destructed at once. The earth-shattering explosions instantly submerged the entire battlefield in blazing light.
Under the explosive impact, black blood seeped from Lin Xiao's quantum right eye, yet the primordial code of the eighth-generation Hongjun emerged in the depths of his pupil. Shockingly, that primordial code was a Primordial Chaos Key carved from the skull of the First Generation Overseer!
