The void trembled without ceasing. After the pitch-black crescent blade cleaved through the Heaven-Supporting Seal, its remaining power was undiminished. Like a bolt of dark lightning that traversed the heavens and earth, it directly struck the core of the ancestral land of the Five-Colored Qilin Clan.
The Great Ancestor watched helplessly as the Heaven-Supporting Seal- Supporting Seal, refined with his life essence, cracked inch by inch. His aura, at the peak of the Dharma Realm Fifth Layer of Heaven, instantly became chaotic, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his white beard red.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" he roared like a madman, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, trying to mobilize the remaining power of magic to block the world-destroying blade, but the light barrier he had just condensed was easily torn apart like paper in front of the crescent blade.
"Puff--"
Several more jets of blood shot out, and the other six Qilin Ancestors groaned in unison, their bodies staggering.
The Heaven-Supporting Seal was originally activated by them using the Power of Origin. The moment the seal shattered, the backlash of their Origin swept over their entire bodies like a tidal wave. The auras of the several Dharma Realm experts weakened at a visible speed, and the scales on their bodies fell off one by one, revealing the bloody and mangled wounds underneath.
The Qilin disciples below had long lost their previous fervor, leaving only extreme fear.
Those disciples who had just been roaring and cursing the Human Race now had weak legs, some even collapsing to the ground, too weak to even run away.
Where the pitch-black blade swept, space distorted, and even screams were instantly swallowed up, leaving only a deathly silence.
"Run! Run!" Someone shouted first, and the remaining disciples snapped out of their daze and fled frantically toward the edge of the universe.
But their speed was like an ant trying to shake a tree in the face of the energy storm that filled the heavens and earth.
An invisible wave of energy spread out from the aftershocks of the crescent blade, and wherever it passed, whether it was disciples flying in the air or clansmen hiding in mountain caves, they were all instantly reduced to ashes, without even a trace of their souls remaining.
Lü Bu hovered in the void, his clothes fluttering without wind. The demonic light on his Sky-Piercing Halberd slowly receded, but there was no ripple in his deep eyes, as if the annihilation of millions of lives was nothing more than a trivial matter.
He looked down at the collapsing, Five-Colored Qilin Universe below, his sneer deepening, "A frog in a well, daring to talk about 'Supporting the Heavens'?"
" Human Race! You devil! My Five-Colored Qilin Clan will never let you go!" The Great Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, disregarding the damage to his Origin, he forcibly burned his lifespan, and his body erupted with an aura far exceeding that of his peak period.
He transformed into a streak of multicolored light, charging towards Lü Bu with a resolute determination to perish together with him.
Seeing this, the other six patriarchs also hardened their eyes and followed suit.
Knowing they were doomed, they burned their last Origin energy, determined to take Lü Bu down with them even if it meant their souls were destroyed.
"Stubborn to the end." Lü Bu spoke calmly, slightly raising his arm and flicking his Sky-Piercing Halberd, instantly conjuring a demonic flame of utmost refinement.
This demonic flame was unlike any ordinary Flame; it was as black as ink and seemed capable of burning away space itself. It was the " Heaven-Burning Demonic Flame " that he had cultivated by fusing his own blood and demonic arts.
"Laugh--"
The demonic flame burst forth, instantly transforming into a gigantic black fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it charged toward the seven Qilin Ancestors.
The moment the first patriarch touched the demonic flames, his body was instantly ignited. His multicolored scales sizzled and burned in the flames, and even the magical power he had generated by burning his lifespan was completely devoured in an instant.
"Ah--!"
A piercing scream echoed throughout the universe. The Great Ancestor struggled for a moment in the demonic flames before being completely reduced to ashes, even his natal spirit was burned away.
The other six elders turned pale, their last glimmer of hope completely shattered. But there was no turning back now, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge forward.
The outcome was predictable. As the black fire dragon darted around, the six patriarchs couldn't even get within ten feet of Lü Bu before they perished one after another in the demonic flames.
In the blink of an eye, all seven Dharma Realm elders of the Five-Colored Qilin Clan were annihilated.
Lü Bu sheathed his Sky-Piercing Halberd and glanced down at the ravaged universe below.
Mountains and rivers have turned to scorched earth and evaporated completely. The once prosperous ancestral land of Qilin is now nothing but ruins and the pervasive stench of blood.
Occasionally, a few faint auras could be found hiding in the corners, but none of them had the courage to show themselves.
He slowly raised his hand, and a jet-black energy ball condensed in his palm, containing enough power to completely Annihilation this shattered universe.
"No... no!" A childish voice rang out from the corner. It was a young Qilin cub, not yet fully grown, trembling all over, its eyes filled with tears. "We didn't do anything wrong, why are you trying to kill us all?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Bu paused slightly, looked down at the cub, his eyes still icy. "Weakness is the original sin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the energy ball in his palm suddenly fell.
"Boom--!"
With a final, deafening roar, the Five-Colored Qilin Universe completely collapsed, turning into nothingness.
Lü Bu turned around and disappeared into the void, as if he had never been there.
