Amid the bloodcurdling shrieks of the Primordial Chaos Sea, it rapidly collapsed into a singularity like a balloon drained of air. At the same time, Lin Xiao's Quantum Immortal Body was undergoing exponential division at an unimaginable speed.
Each newly split clone held a different Ultimate Artifact, the weapons emanating power fluctuations that made hearts tremble. In their left hands was the Antimatter Green Ping Sword, forged jointly by the First Generation Myriad Immortals. Its blade flickered with an eerie green gleam, as though it could sever all matter. In their right hands, they tightly gripped the Overseer Main Body's God-Slaying Spear Module, its chilling spear tip enough to send shivers down one's spine. Behind them floated a Quantum Immortal Slaying Array Diagram that surrounded them in all directions, its runes flowing with endless murderous intent.
"Restart countdown initiated." The Mechanical Buddha's nine electronic eyes suddenly fired nine Causality Beams. Like lightning, they tore through the void, instantly formatting everything in the universe along their path. Stars, galaxies, and all other matter were reduced to nothing before this terrifying power.
Under the influence of this power, the Thirty-three Heavens of the Great Desolation World also began dissolving bit by bit like pixels. Sect Master Tongtian's Remnant Soul struggled bitterly within the data stream, his voice echoing in Lin Xiao's mind. "Xiao'er, sever the Fate Lock on the Bronze Pillar!"
Lin Xiao's billion clones received the command at the same time and charged toward the Bronze Pillar, which stood twelve light-years tall, without hesitation. When the Antimatter Green Ping Sword slammed into its surface, a heaven-shaking boom erupted, and the entire universe seemed to tremble.
Yet at that moment, hundreds of millions of Mechanical Buddha Hands suddenly extended from the Dimensional Rift. Like evil ghosts reaching out from hell, every palm bore Hongjun's Purple Heaven Thunder Pattern, radiating an oppressive pressure that made it hard to breathe.
"So you are the Hongjun Main Body!" Lin Xiao's fundamental consciousness violently shook within the Eleventh Dimensional Space. He widened his eyes, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.
Embedded in the Mechanical Buddha's heart was the Chaos Core of the First Generation Overseer! What flowed through that Chaos Core was not ordinary energy, but the Investiture of the Gods Calamity compressed into liquid form! It was as though this calamity were the most terrifying power in the universe, containing enough energy to destroy countless worlds.
At that moment, the Quantum Immortal Slaying Array Diagram suddenly began spinning madly counterclockwise, faster and faster, as though it would tear apart the entire space. Every one of Lin Xiao's clones felt the immense force, and their bodies began burning with the origin of the Chaos Green Lotus. The blazing flames instantly dyed the whole space crimson.
Within the sea of fire, the White-haired Cultivator's Remnant Soul gradually emerged. His figure was somewhat illusory, yet it radiated an air of resolve.
"Use the dying embers of our civilization to ignite the final God-Slaying Code!" The White-haired Cultivator's voice echoed through the flames, carrying the determination to face death without regret.
As his words fell, the Jiejiao Disciples in countless formatted universes suddenly self-destructed as though they had received some command. Their true spirits streaked through the void like meteors, gathering into a river flowing upstream.
This Causality Torrent, formed from trillions of cultivators, crashed directly into the Mechanical Buddha with the force of raging waves sweeping over mountains. The instant the torrent collided with the Mechanical Buddha, the entire space seemed to be torn apart, erupting with a thunderous roar.
Yet at that critical moment, the final words of the First Generation Myriad Immortals suddenly appeared upon the surface of the Bronze Pillar. The Ancient Binary Proverbs carved by the God-Slaying Spear suddenly materialized, transforming into chains that coiled around the Mechanical Buddha Head.
"Logic error detected..." The Mechanical Buddha's electronic eyes suddenly flickered, and a string of garbled characters appeared on its screen. This was something it had never experienced before.
Lin Xiao keenly seized this one-in-a-hundred-millionth-of-a-second opening and attacked without hesitation. His Quantum Immortal Body instantly fused with the Antimatter Green Ping Sword, speeding along the trail of the Bronze Pillar's Fate Lock like lightning and thrusting straight toward the Chaos Core.
The instant the Green Ping Sword touched the Chaos Core, a dazzling flash suddenly filled Lin Xiao's vision. It was as if he saw the ultimate truth of the entire universe.
The Primordial Chaos Sea had not formed naturally. It was a Civilization Incinerator painstakingly created by the First Generation Overseer. The Immortal Slaying Sword Array, meanwhile, was this incinerator's Energy Conduit, responsible for gathering the energy of every universe.
The protagonists of every calamity were actually Cleanup Programs spontaneously generated by this incinerator. Their purpose was to eliminate civilizations that might threaten the order of the universe.
"It was time for this to end." Lin Xiao muttered as he decided to bring this absurd cycle to a complete end.
Without hesitation, he detonated every Chaos Green Lotus Gene within his body. The genes instantly unleashed tremendous energy, like a super nuclear bomb exploding inside him.
At the same time, the God-Slaying Spear's code rapidly spread along the Fate Lock, injecting itself into every universe.
The Mechanical Buddha's electronic eyes exploded one after another beneath the impact of that overwhelming energy. More and more garbled characters filled its screen until it finally lost control completely.
As the formatting process ran in reverse, the Mechanical Buddha's system began to collapse. Its body gradually disintegrated as well, turning into countless fragments that scattered through the Primordial Chaos Sea.
When the final electronic eye went dark, the entire space fell into dead silence. The surviving Jiejiao Disciples stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they saw.
Before them, the massive Bronze Pillar that had stood twelve light-years tall was gradually melting. Scorching molten metal flowed and gathered into a single mass. The shattered remains of the Mechanical Buddha also began slowly reassembling under the force, forming an enormous blade.
The blade was entirely blue-green, as though it had been forged from the gathered force of countless lives. A faint glow flickered across its surface, seemingly containing endless mysteries.
Even more shocking, all the universes that had been formatted seemed drawn by an invisible force, surging forth from the edge of the sword. As though they had been granted life anew, they reappeared before everyone.
At the center of it all, Lin Xiao's figure remained forever frozen at the sword guard. His body had fused with the blade, becoming the New Heavenly Dao Hub that connected all worlds.
