Thick, bubbly bubbles churned in the dark gray swamp, and large swathes of withered ancient trees stood like twisted, ghostly claws in the mist. The air was filled with the stench of decay and death. Three figures sped down from the sky and finally hovered above the swamp, their faces extremely grim.
One of the black-robed cultivators frantically scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, unable to hold back his anger. "Damn it!" "How could he suddenly disappear???" Another was equally incredulous. "Impossible! The three of us have been tracking his Fate Soul essence the whole time, we haven't left his sight at all, how could he suddenly disappear?" The last man, clearly the leader, slowly raised his hand. "Don't panic, the swamp here is shrouded in thick fog, he probably used some kind of concealment technique to hide. Keep searching--"
Before the words were finished, a cold snort suddenly rang out from behind the three. "Hmph, you're pretty fast at chasing." Boom!
The three men's pupils suddenly contracted, and they all turned around to see Qin Yu standing with his hands behind his back atop a withered ancient tree not far away, quietly looking down at them. His posture was calm and composed, as if he had been standing there all along and had never left.
One of the men in black robes suddenly turned fierce. "Boy!" "Come out!" He took a step forward, unleashing the overwhelming pressure of the True Annihilation Realm · Supreme. A large area of the swamp was shattered. "Hand over the treasure you just traded with Shopkeeper Qian!" "Otherwise, we'll wipe you out today!" The other man grinned maliciously. "That's right." "What you traded in the Heavenly Secrets Dao Pavilion's private room wouldn't be simple, would it?" "Be smart and hand it over yourself." "So you won't suffer!"
Qin Yu was slightly taken aback. Then a strange smile appeared on his lips. "Oh? So you're not from the Heavenly Secrets Dao Pavilion. I thought the dignified Heavenly Secrets Dao Pavilion would engage in such despicable business." The leading man sneered. "Boy, no matter what you bought, anything that can be traded in a private room is not something Rogue Cultivator like you is qualified to possess. Hand it over, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."
Qin Yu slowly shook his head. "What if I don't hand it over?" The hot-tempered cultivator beside him roared angrily. "You're courting death! Brother!" "Why waste words with him! Just kill him!" But Qin Yu suddenly waved his hand. "Hey, hey, hey. Don't be in such a hurry. Anyway, if I really die at your hands today, at least I'll know who I died at."
The leading man revealed an arrogant expression upon hearing this. "Fine, I'll let you die knowing why. Remember, those who slay you are— the Three Great Vajras of the Ancient God Clan! Don't forget to mention our names on the path of reincarnation!" Qin Yu, upon hearing this, suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. "Oh..." "The Ancient God Clan..." "That's quite a coincidence." "I do indeed have a connection with the Ancient God Clan."
On the surface, Qin Yu remained calm, but a chill slowly crept into his heart. The Ancient God Clan... so they were that old man's people. He had been planning to come looking for them after he finished dealing with his current affairs, but unexpectedly, they delivered themselves to his doorstep today. The leading man frowned slightly.
"Origin?" "What bullshit origin!" Second Brother! "Go!" "Kill him!" "The Primordial Supreme Treasure on his body is yours!" The cultivator called Second Brother was overjoyed. "Hahaha!" "Thank you, Brother!" He took a step forward, and the essence of his Fate Soul erupted instantly, boom--
The entire swamp suddenly plunged into darkness, countless jet-black divine runes emerged from the void, and the low murmurs of billions of ancient gods echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Behind him, a ten-thousand-foot-tall phantom of an ancient god slowly rose, its head adorned with a tattered divine crown, its eyes flowing with black-gold divine fire, and its body entwined with countless Cause Splitting. It seemed to be a war god from the primordial era. "Since you refuse to hand it over," "then never hand it over!"
He suddenly formed a hand seal, and the ancient god phantom behind him simultaneously raised its right arm, causing the entire sky to tremble violently, with countless black cracks spreading wildly.
The supernatural power, the Ancient God World-Burying Seal, condenses the remnants of the Ancient God Clan divine court of the ancient god race. It uses the will of the ancient god to suppress the target's Fate Soul structure, forcibly strips it of its control over the realm's rules, seals the target into the "Ancient God World-Burying Realm," and ultimately refines it along with its Fate Soul, origin, and karma.
A single seal can shatter a realm, seal Fate Soul, and crush divine consciousness. The target will be dragged into the Ancient God World-Burying Realm, where they will be eternally devoured by the remnants of the ancient god's soul until they are completely transformed into nourishment for the Ancient God Clan race. It is specifically designed to counter all cultivators below the True Annihilation Realm, especially those who rely on the structure of their Fate Soul and their Origin Framework to fight. Once locked on by the seal, they will be severely affected.
The speed of the Fate Soul's circulation will be forcibly suppressed by more than 70%. As the divine power is completed, the ancient god's phantom, which is ten thousand feet tall, suddenly opens its eyes, and two black-gold blazing suns burst from its pupils. Boom - the entire swamp instantly sinks, and billions of black divine patterns turn into a torrent that sweeps across the heavens and the earth. A colossal ancient god seal that blots out the sun slowly descends from the depths of the sky.
The surface of the colossal seal was engraved with countless ancient god corpses and totems of World Extinguisher. With every inch it descended, a layer of space collapsed. Countless cracks spread like a spider web for tens of thousands of miles. The Ancient God Clan cultivator grinned maliciously at Qin Yu, pressing his hands down fiercely. "Hahahaha!" "Boy!" "To die under the ultimate technique of my Ancient God Clan race is your honor!" "Kneel down and die--!!!" The enormous Ancient God World-Burying Seal, carrying the force of world destruction, crashed down towards Qin Yu's location.
The Ancient God World-Burying Seal, which blotted out the sky, pressed down from the heavens, causing the entire swamp world to tremble violently. Black gold divine fire transformed into billions of chains that pierced through the void, and countless afterimages of ancient gods roared and howled around the seal. Large areas of space were compressed into visible folds, as if they would collapse completely in the next instant.
However, facing this attack that could easily suppress cultivators of the same realm, Qin Yu remained standing, neither retreating nor even drawing his sword. Only when the Ancient God World-Burying Seal was less than a hundred feet above his head did Qin Yu slowly raise his right hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "Don't forget," he said, "I am also True Annihilation Realm · Supreme."
"As for the three of you..." "You're still far from it." As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yu lightly flicked his finger, and deep within his sea of consciousness, the Book of Fate Law's Realm Severing Origin Brush suddenly trembled. The void shook, and a phantom of a pitch-black page abruptly unfolded! Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence - Six Severances Seal! First Seal - Fate Cause Sealing Mirror - Logic Abyss Core! Boom--!
The entire world fell into a deathly silence in an instant. A boundless, pitch-black giant mirror floated in front of Qin Yu. The mirror was clear and without light, reflecting neither mountains nor rivers nor the sun, moon, nor stars. It clearly revealed the deepest and most fundamental core structure of the Fate Soul within the Ancient God World-Burying Seal.
In the mirror, countless ancient god bloodline patterns, causal connections, and the Origin Framework divine power's operational trajectory were all fully displayed. The next moment, a pitch-black crack suddenly appeared in the center of the mirror, as if an invisible hand had directly reached into the source of the divine power. Crack—the first ancient god pattern snapped, followed by the second, third, and fourth...
The internal structure of the Ancient God World-Burying Seal suddenly collapsed wildly. All the fundamental elements upon which the secret technique depended for its survival were forcibly deconstructed and stripped away layer by layer by invisible laws, completely disintegrating and collapsing from the root. Rumble—the once imposing Ancient God Seal suddenly trembled violently, the billions of divine patterns on its surface began to extinguish, and the phantom of the Ancient God let out a mournful roar.
One by one, the black and gold chains shattered, and in just a few breaths, the colossal seal that blotted out the sky began to disintegrate from its center. Then, it exploded with a deafening roar, and divine fire transformed into countless points of light that scattered across the void. The entire divine power was completely annihilated, leaving not a trace behind. Calm returned to the sky above the swamp, and Qin Yu remained standing in place, his robes not even trembling. In the distance, the Ancient God Clan cultivator's face instantly turned deathly pale. "Pfft—"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and he was thrown back hundreds of feet by the backlash of the divine power. His face was full of horror. "Impossible!" "How is this possible!!!" "My Ancient God World-Burying Seal..." "It was actually shattered directly?!" On the other side, the contempt on the leader's face finally disappeared, replaced by a deep solemnity. He stared intently at Qin Yu.
His pupils slowly contracted. "Strange..." "That shouldn't be the case." "They're both at the True Annihilation Realm · Supreme." "The second brother has the bloodline of an ancient god flowing through his veins." "Ordinary cultivators at the same realm simply can't withstand his divine abilities." "How could this kid's divine abilities directly crush the second brother's divine logic?" He suddenly turned his head and roared angrily. "Second brother!" "Come back!" Upon hearing this, the cultivator immediately retreated.
Returning to their side, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He stared intently at Qin Yu, his voice hoarse. "Boss..." "This kid's supernatural power is too bizarre." "Just now..." "I felt that my supernatural power wasn't destroyed at all." "But..." "The very foundation of my supernatural power was directly dismantled!" "It was as if someone saw all the internal workings of my supernatural power and then directly erased the most crucial link." "My Ancient God World-Burying Seal didn't even have a chance to fully activate."
The leading man's face grew increasingly grim upon hearing this, and the third man beside him also abandoned his initial disdain. For the first time, the three of them truly began to seriously examine this seemingly ordinary Rogue Cultivator. The air suddenly fell silent. Above the swamp, the two sides faced each other from a distance, while Qin Yu merely brushed the dust off his sleeves, a faint smile still on his face. "The Three Great Vajras of the Ancient God Clan?" "What's wrong? Are they three idiots?" The moment these words fell, the three men's expressions turned completely somber.
