The colossal Buddha face that blotted out the sky split cleanly apart with an abyss-like fissure the instant the pitch-black sword light plunged into it.
Black annihilation sword intent ravaged the Ancient Buddha's soul consciousness sea.
There was no resistance, nor any room to maneuver.
The Thirty-Six-Layer Epoch Soul that the Chaos Ancient Buddha took such pride in was as fragile as tissue paper before this sword strike.
"Aaah!"
His agonized scream reverberated throughout the Buddha World.
The thirty-six heavenly dao suns hanging in the firmament shook violently in unison, then exploded in midair one after another.
Golden fire rained across the sky.
The billions of Dharma-Protecting Vajra phantoms chanting within the Buddha light did not even manage a grunt before the spreading sword energy shattered them into fragments that filled the sky.
"This... this is a sword art that strikes directly at the origin!"
The Ancient Buddha's enormous body tumbled out of the rift in the void, both hands clutching his head in a death grip.
Golden soul blood gushed from all seven of his facial orifices.
Deep within his mind, the tiny figure of his soul had a gaping hole punched straight through its chest.
Pain!
Agony that pierced his heart and bored into his bones!
Since surviving the era's great destruction, he had never encountered a method that could directly shatter the foundation of his primordial spirit.
"You little bastard... what sword technique is this?!"
The Ancient Buddha gritted his teeth, his lips trembling, his eyes filled with terror and fury beneath the shadow of death.
He had lived for countless ages and witnessed more Ultimate Dao experts than he could count.
But who could sever karma with one strike, cut off fortune with a second, then slice through a Heavenly Dao Realm soul like a watermelon
