Complete Blackening

Whoosh—

A huge chunk of bloody flesh was forcibly torn away.

Part of the black-clad man's Dao Fruit, the culmination of everything he had learned in his life, was annihilated once more.

At that moment, he truly panicked.

Cradling the still-sleeping Immortal Lord, he fled as if his life depended on it.

I hung my head, like a nightmare that chased people to their deaths.

The resentment and malice in my eyes had spilled over, along with an unyielding obsession that would stop at nothing to achieve its goal.

Gradually, the evil thoughts in my heart grew more numerous.

I still hadn't found my daughter. I was straying further and further down the path of corruption.

At that moment, I wanted to kill.

I wanted to kill a lot of people.

Only by killing without end could I vent the fury in my heart.

A world that would never show me even a little favor—I, Ye Xiaoyao, wanted no part of it.

Suddenly, boundless white light burst forth on the horizon.

Countless feathers drifted down.

The white light dispelled half the red glow of the night, and innumerable sacred feathers fluttered down in scattered flurries.

Ye Qingxian faced even more enemies.

She had already unleashed her full strength.

Yet the enemies seemed endless, and in the end, even Quasi-Supremes appeared.

If I had still been conscious and opened the system panel, I would have seen that Ye Qingxian's second page was already bursting with peerless radiance.

At that moment, Ye Qingxian also lost consciousness.

She had yet to truly unleash her bloodline.

The Thirty-six Winged Angel God descended into the mortal world.

The deity said not to exist in the legends of Supreme Heaven—no one could look upon the true form of the divine.

The divine could not be seen.

All gazes were stripped away.

A little girl who looked about six or seven, her body wrapped in nothing but a few strips of cloth, floated quietly in the sky, curled up. Sacred white light spilled into every corner of the world.

Countless pairs of pure white wings slowly unfolded behind the little girl.

The Thirty-six Winged Angel God descended upon Supreme Heaven.

No one knew what had happened.

It was even less possible to know what was happening.

Because—

[The divine said: Thou shalt not see.]

[The divine said: Thou shalt not hear.]

[The divine said: Thou shalt not know.]

Three innate true words, standing above all rules, appeared over Heavenly Sword Peak, which had been severed from the world at that moment. This no longer seemed like a battle between cultivators. It was as if a being from another dimension had appeared in the Cultivation World, crushing everything beneath it.

This was the true form of the First Prodigy of All Time.

Throughout the ages, Supremes had been as numerous as carp crossing a river, countless beyond measure.

But there were only nine Supreme Experts.

Ye Qingxian was a Supreme prodigy, renowned alongside the Emperor Venerable.

The black-clad man was completely dumbstruck, utterly unable to understand what was happening.

All he could do was curl up inside his own era, trying to protect himself within it.

A Quasi-Supreme was still a Supreme.

In his own era, he was an invincible Supreme.

Yangyang, Yangyang.

I still hadn't found my daughter.

Suddenly, my mind collapsed completely, leaving nothing in my heart but boundless, savage violence.

"Kill!"

For the first time, I roared aloud. As my heartbeat quickened, my corruption was complete.

I took another step forward.

The world turned pitch-black once more.

The instant darkness completely suppressed the light, all of Supreme Heaven trembled.

All the Supreme experts opened their eyes in confusion.

For the first time, the Blood Moon shone with light, then rained down countless drops of blood.

The extreme of light would give birth to darkness.

Likewise, the extreme of darkness would give birth to light.

The other half of Supreme Heaven fell into darkness in the blink of an eye.

At the Time and Space Administration, a burly man suddenly opened his eyes. "The Great Devil King corrupted this quickly?"

"Although the Great Devil King has reached adulthood, her bloodline is still in its juvenile stage."

"This should be when she's easiest to deal with."

"But once she becomes corrupted, there's no turning back."

"After the Great Devil King completes her corruption, the terrifying bloodline that originally had two paths of growth will turn completely into a fiend of the other path. She'll gain attacks that can ignore all rules, and on top of that, she'll have a life force as tenacious as a cockroach's. Even if her attacks are still weak in her juvenile stage and it would take some effort to deal with a Quasi-Supreme, she still mustn't be underestimated."

"Because the Great Devil King can keep growing stronger in battle."

"And who would dare bet that the Great Devil King couldn't come back to life?"

He gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out his own heart, and crushed it forcefully before him.

"No. We can't let the Great Devil King complete her corruption. No one can bet on being able to defeat even the juvenile Great Devil King. While the number of dead is still low and the cost of correction is still manageable, we have to forcefully correct the timeline."

"If any more people die, even I may be powerless to interfere."

As he offered up his heart,

the phantom of the Heavenly Dao of Supreme Heaven appeared.

Rather, it was the aggregate of the Heavenly Daos of all worlds.

Back in Supreme Heaven,

my next attack hadn't even landed when my head lolled to the side and I fainted.

Ye Qingxian fainted as well.

Time was severed from the world, compressed again and again. The dimensions were continually squeezed into a thin line, until even one dimension ceased to exist.

Time across all of Supreme Heaven began to flow backward.

It rewound to the boundary between day and night, to eight or nine hours earlier.

Everyone's memories rewound as well.

Aside from the Director of the Time and Space Administration, no one knew what had happened.

Beyond Supreme Heaven,

at that same moment, time in countless worlds also flowed backward.

The Time and Space Administration, hovering beyond countless worlds, was likewise caught in the process of rewinding. Among them, one burly man—the Director of the Time and Space Administration—had permanently lost his heart. A bloody hole gaped in his chest.

Supreme Heaven was a supreme world. For time in Supreme Heaven to flow backward, all worlds had to rewind at the same time.

This time, the price he paid was too great.

"My last safeguard is gone, too."

He gave a bitter smile, then flew into a thunderous rage.

"Useless! Useless!"

The burly man smashed cup after cup in fury. "What the hell is Administrator One doing?"

"Didn't she repeatedly assure me that she wouldn't let the Great Devil King become corrupted?"

"Whatever the Great Devil King wants to do, just let her do it! Couldn't you humor her and treat her like the Little Ancestor she is?"

"Could she still be using those same old suppression tactics?"

He bellowed again and again. "Beasts! You're nothing but beasts!"

Then the Director stared at Supreme Heaven's world, where nothing but chaos remained.

The prophecy of the World Destroyer wasn't a joke.

The Great Devil King was a newborn formed from the resentment of all worlds and all people.

She was born the Princess of the dark side, with two different supreme paths of growth. In the future, all negative emotions would raise her to the one and only throne as the Great Devil King.

Ever since the Great Devil King was born, no one had been able to contact Supreme Heaven again.

Administrator One had only barely managed to get in after the entire Time and Space Administration used every means at its disposal when the Great Devil King had just descended into the world.

"I hope Administrator One can get her act together. Don't let the Great Devil King become completely corrupted again."

"Even if she's only halfway corrupted, we can still fix things."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. He kept pounding the table. "Couldn't Administrator One, the moment the Great Devil King became corrupted, put what she wanted right in front of her? Once the Great Devil King was satisfied, why would she become corrupted at all? Naturally, she'd stop killing people."

"What a simple idea. Even I know how to do a mission."

"What does Administrator One even do all day?"

"Don't tell me she's been cultivating in seclusion in Supreme Heaven every day, planning to take out the Great Devil King herself in the future."

A moment later, he slumped over the desk. After losing his heart, he was a little weak.

"I'm begging you, Administrator One. Just put the Great Devil King on a pedestal and let her grow happily along the other path, the one that isn't dark."

"This old, worn-out theory of suppressing the World Destroyer into mediocrity, grinding away her ambition until she sees herself as a complete failure, so that even if she becomes corrupted she won't think of destroying the world—if you can make that work, I'll eat my meals in the toilet every day!"

"I mean it!"
