The world was no longer what it once was. The Heart-Questioning Ancient Forest had been reduced to boundless ruins, the shattered earth stretched to the horizon, countless spatial rifts hung in the sky like dark scars, and the Supreme Transformation Source Crystal were scattered in all directions, shimmering with an intermittent silver light. And in the very center of this apocalyptic world...
The battle between the three Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme and the Divine Mountain Transformer had completely entered a white-hot stage. The leading man wielded a jet-black ancient halberd, and with each swing, nine Eternal Silence black dragons swept across the sky. The dragon roars shattered mountains and rivers, and large areas of space were torn apart by the dragon claws, forming countless abyss-like rifts.
The World-Ending Fading Radiance Ancient Mirror afterglow, hovered high in the sky, its surface constantly emitting torrents of grayish-white light. Wherever it was illuminated, everything rapidly decayed, mountains crumbled, laws collapsed, and even space itself showed signs of aging and disintegration. The scarlet longsword, meanwhile, resembled a river of blood hanging upside down from the heavens.
With a single strike, hundreds of thousands of miles of void shattered, countless blade lights intertwining to form a river of destruction, relentlessly bombarding the area where the Divine Mountain Transformer was located. The Divine Mountain Transformer, however, showed no sign of retreat, standing atop countless illusory mountain peaks.
With each step, new mountains rose from the ground. The Taiyan Realm Suppressing Seal continuously evolved, with layer upon layer of Divine Mountain blocking the three great supernatural powers. And those shattered mountains would reassemble in the next instant.
The entire battlefield looked like four ancient rulers were fighting fiercely, with destruction and rebirth constantly alternating, and there was no sound in the world except for the roar.
However, as the battle continued, the killing intent in the eyes of the Divine Mountain Transformer grew stronger. He knew that dragging it out would only increase the variables, especially with countless people secretly watching. Just after blocking another attack from the combined forces of the three, he suddenly slowly raised his hands, and his aura began to change. A wave that was far more ancient and heavier than before awakened from his body.
The next moment, a golden pattern slowly cracked open on his chest, and countless primordial energies converged wildly, finally revealing a supreme treasure that had been sealed away for millions of epochs.
It was an ancient sacred Divine Mountain no bigger than the palm of a hand, its entire body a gray-gold color. The mountain was densely covered with microcosms of billions of worlds, showing the rise and fall of civilizations, the birth and death of galaxies, and the birth and destruction of countless races. Each line was like a sealed epoch of history. At the very top of the Divine Mountain, a constantly rotating silver Taihua core was suspended, emitting a terrifying aura that suppressed all the heavens.
"Taiyan Ancestral Mountain." The Divine Mountain Transformer slowly uttered four words. Boom-- At this moment, the entire world seemed to sink, and countless floating spatial fragments fell together. The remaining mountain range in the distance began to collapse automatically, and even the laws of nature uttered a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden.
Taiyan Ancestral Mountain slowly rose into the sky. With each inch it ascended, the heavens and earth seemed to sink a fraction, as if the entire world was bowing down in submission. The Divine Mountain's human form coldly stared at the three, his eyes now devoid of any pretense. "I have slumbered for a million epochs. This natal treasure has not truly appeared in the world for a million epochs. Today, I will use the Fate Soul of the three of you to sacrifice for it."
The three supreme experts of the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme simultaneously changed their expressions, their pores tightened abruptly, and a monstrous wave surged in their hearts. With their vision of standing at the pinnacle of the heavens and overlooking countless ages, they felt Ultimate awe and a chilling fear at this moment. They clearly sensed that the supreme treasure lurking in the void transcended the category of all divine weapons and sharp blades in the world.
Ordinary cultivators' natal divine weapons are merely artifacts that are forged and formed along with their own cultivation, their strength fluctuating with the cultivator's realm, ultimately confined to their own path and limited in scope. But this supreme treasure is completely different. It was not refined later, but rather it has coexisted and shared the same origin with the Divine Mountain since the very beginning of the World-Burying Divine Mountain.
It has witnessed the beginning and end of countless worlds collapsing and disappearing, carried the vicissitudes of billions of years, been imbued with the primordial power of the Supreme Transformation Source Crystal, and engraved the most primitive order logic of heaven and earth.
It is a true primordial treasure that accompanied the Divine Mountain through its transformation and enlightenment, growing through countless calamities. It is equivalent to the embodiment of the Dao heart of the World-Burying Divine Mountain, and is the most core and terrifying Ultimate foundation of this secret realm.
The mere wisp of aura emanating from it was enough to nearly freeze the eternal Stillness Dao surrounding the three of them, their peak cultivation seemingly bound by invisible shackles, even their souls trembling instinctively. They instantly understood that with this item, all the divine weapons in the world were mere mortal iron, utterly unworthy of resistance. However, they also understood...
There was no turning back now. "Offer the treasure!" With a furious shout, the three of them erupted simultaneously. The leader bit his tongue first, spitting a mouthful of his life essence blood onto the ancient halberd. The pitch-black halberd immediately emitted a deafening dragon roar, and nine black dragons exploded together, eventually transforming into a Dragon Prison Divine Tower. Nine Eternal Silence dragon souls were coiled on the tower, which was none other than his life treasure - the Nine Hells Heaven Suppressing Pagoda.
At the same time, the World-Ending Fading Radiance Ancient Mirror began to vibrate violently. The mirror surface slowly cracked, and a gray-white figure emerged from it. The figure had no facial features, but exuded an aura of ending all things. The entire ancient mirror eventually transformed into a gray-white waning sun hanging high in the sky. This was its true form World-Ending Fading Sun Mirror.
The last powerful figure wielding the sword also roared, and his scarlet longsword exploded. Countless rays of blood converged and condensed into a huge blood-red wheel. As the wheel slowly rotated, all life force in the world was frantically drained away. It was none other than his natal treasure, the Myriad Tribulations Blood Wheel.
The simultaneous appearance of the three natal treasures caused the entire world to tremble violently once again. The Nine Hells Heaven Suppressing Pagoda suppressed the void, the World-Ending Fading Sun Mirror decayed, and the Myriad Laws Myriad Tribulations Blood Wheel devoured life. On the opposite side was the slowly rising Taiyan Ancestral Mountain. The four treasures confronted each other across the void, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth was Ultimate oppressive. In the distance, in the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, Qin Yu and Xiao Yue stared intently at this scene.
Deep within the Transcendent Five-Dimensional Space, Qin Yu and Xiao Yue quietly concealed themselves among layers of spatial crevices. The earth-shattering fluctuations from the outside world constantly impacted the dimensional barriers, yet they could never truly reach the location of the two.
Xiao Yue sat on Qin Yu's shoulders, hugging her legs, swinging her little feet as she looked at the nearly shattered landscape in the distance, her eyes filled with schadenfreude. "Hehe, I love this kind of scene. They're all fighting tooth and nail for the ancient map, but nobody's gained anything. We can just sit here and watch the show."
Qin Yu gazed ahead, his expression remaining calm. "Hmm, let's wait a bit longer. Since the Ancient Map could make the three Primordial Beast Luminary fight over a million epochs, it can't be that simple. Besides, I still feel that there are other hidden auras in this area that haven't truly appeared yet. It's not too late to go out after they've fought to the very end." Xiao Yue immediately nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, let's go out and pick up the scraps after they're all crippled."
As the two were speaking, the battlefield below had entered its most brutal phase— the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain finally erupted in full force, with thunderous roars—
As the person who had transformed into the Divine Mountain formed hand seals, the ancient, gray-gold divine Divine Mountain rose completely into the heavens. The entire world began to tremble violently, and countless Supreme Transformation Source Crystal simultaneously shone with dazzling divine light. Billions of silver-gold torrents converged like a reversed Milky Way, frantically pouring into the ancestral mountain.
Originally only the size of a palm, the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain began to expand infinitely, turning into a thousand feet in an instant, ten thousand feet in three breaths, and after ten breaths it was like an ancient divine realm that suppressed heaven and earth, floating in the sky. Countless scenes of the rise and fall of civilizations flowed on the mountain, and the birth and death of billions of worlds appeared one after another, as if the entire Source of Epochless was condensed into it.
The Divine Mountain Transformer stood atop the ancestral mountain and slowly raised his palm. "Suppress." With just one word, the heavens and earth roared— the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain slowly pressed down, Nine Hells Heaven Suppressing Pagoda was the first to be impacted. The nine Eternal Silence black dragons roared madly, transforming into dragon bodies spanning billions of miles, swirling in the sky, trying to stop the ancestral mountain from falling. However, the moment the two sides made contact, dense cracks began to appear on the dragon bodies. One, two, three, in just a few breaths, the nine black dragons shattered one after another, turning into a sky full of black light rain that fell on the heavens and earth.
Bang!!! The Nine Hells Heaven Suppressing Pagoda let out a mournful cry, and the entire tower was directly pressed down and fell tens of thousands of feet. On the other side, the World-Ending Fading Sun Mirror burst out with endless gray-white divine light.
The setting sun hung in the sky, and countless laws of destruction swept out, attempting to corrupt the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain. However, when the gray-white torrent rushed into the range of the ancestral mountain, the power that was enough to corrupt all laws was constantly worn away by the countless mountain phantoms. One mountain, a hundred mountains, and ten thousand mountains appeared one after another. The gray-white torrent was completely consumed before it even got close to the main body of the ancestral mountain.
As for the Myriad Tribulations Blood Wheel, it fared even worse. Just as the blood-red wheel rose into the air, the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain crashed down with a deafening roar. Boom! The blood wheel trembled violently, and cracks began to spread rapidly along its edges. A large amount of blood-red light continuously gushed out from within. The difference between the three Primordial Spirit Treasure and the true Primordial Supreme Treasure finally became apparent.
They were simply not on the same level. The entire battlefield was a one-sided suppression. The three Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme experts frantically activated their origins, but the more they activated their treasures, the more violently they trembled. Even their Fate Soul origins began to suffer backlash. The Divine Mountain Transformer stood atop the ancestral mountain, looking down at the three with icy eyes. "A mere Primordial Spirit Treasure." "Daring to contend with the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain?"
Boom!—Another deafening roar echoed as the Nine Hells Heaven Suppressing Pagoda was sent flying hundreds of thousands of miles away. Cracks appeared on the surface of the World-Ending Fading Sun Mirror, and the Myriad Tribulations Blood Wheel nearly exploded on the spot. All three turned deathly pale, blood continuously flowing from the corners of their mouths. One of them finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Big Brother!!" "If this continues, our most precious treasure will be crushed to pieces!!"
The other man, equally filled with despair, cried out, "Yes!!" "If this keeps up, we're all doomed!!" The leading man stared intently at the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain in the sky. A look of madness gradually appeared in his eyes. After a few breaths, he suddenly gritted his teeth. "Eternal Talisman Seal." Upon hearing this, the other two men trembled simultaneously, their faces turning deathly pale, for they knew what those three words meant.
That was their Lineage's true forbidden technique. Once used, it would completely burn away their Fate Soul essence. Even if they survived, their future would be severed. But at this moment, they had no choice. After a brief silence, they both closed their eyes simultaneously. "Alright." "Let's risk it." Boom--
The next moment, the three of them simultaneously burned their Fate Soul essence. Countless cracks began to appear on the surface of their bodies, and bright red divine blood of their essence flowed continuously. An ancient blood-red rune appeared above the heads of the three of them at the same time. As soon as the rune appeared, the atmosphere of the entire world instantly became oppressive, countless laws began to collapse, and space began to distort.
Even the Taiyan Ancestral Mountain, suspended high in the sky, paused for a moment. The luster of the source crystal flowing across the mountain suddenly dimmed. The composed smile on the lips of the Divine Mountain Transformer vanished, and a solemn expression appeared between his brows. He thought to himself: These three madmen are determined to perish together with me.
