Qin Yu nodded slowly. His Fate Soul perception had spread out, and at this moment, he finally understood that this place was not changed into this state because of war, but rather that the creatures living here were the very shape of this world. The Wrath Clan and the Hatred Clan were born from the anger and evil among the seven emotions of the Layered Realm Void Great Emperor and Void.
They are born violent, born warlike, and born with a thirst for plunder. Every inch of scorched earth, every crack, and every burning volcano here silently reflects the Blazing Erosion Clan's relentless rage and malice. There is no gentleness here, only the law of the jungle, only plunder.
Here, there is only the insane obsession of constantly devouring other races and trying to monopolize the entire origin of the Dao Source Ancient Tree. The entire Southern Region seems to be a purgatory formed by anger and evil itself. Qin Yu slowly raised his gaze. In the far distance, a crimson-black Divine Mountain, larger than any volcano, stood quietly at the end of the world.
At the summit of the Divine Mountain, a colossal city, entirely constructed of black and red boulders, loomed in and out of sight. Above the city, billowing black and red Daoist energy surged continuously, emanating countless Fate Soul essences filled with auras of violence and destruction. Deep within that city, Qin Yu faintly sensed a familiar Fate Soul fluctuation. It was none other than— Yuan Weizhi.
Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan stepped into the territory of the Blazing Erosion Clan one after the other. The scorched earth beneath their feet was still slowly flowing with crimson magma, and waves of scorching heat continued to surge. Just as the two had taken only a hundred feet, a series of heavy and hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Six figures burst forth from behind a rocky mountain engulfed in black flames. With each step, the rocks beneath their feet shattered, and scalding lava flew everywhere.
The six men looked almost identical. They were all burly and robust, with broad shoulders like mountains, every muscle bulging high. Their exposed skin was a mixture of dark red and ochre, and its surface was covered with crisscrossing cracks, from which crimson flames flowed continuously.
Like an inextinguishable rage burning within them, the six men's eyes were deep-set beneath their brow bones, their pupils like red-hot iron, filled with madness and bloodlust, and the air seemed to scorch wherever their gaze fell.
Their hair stood on end like burning steel needles, and their necks, shoulders, and even their entire arms were covered with large patches of dark red branding marks. These were not scars, but rather the life marks formed by the long-term burning of their Fate Soul essence by anger.
The six men were clad in black leather armor made of rough animal hides, with a large number of animal teeth, bones and broken weapons hanging from their waists. Each piece of spoils was stained with dried dark blood and made a crisp clanging sound as they moved.
The leader abruptly stopped, his eyes fixed on Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan, his gaze unwavering, filled only with naked hostility and murderous intent. He raised his cracked hand, pointing it at the two of them, his voice booming like thunder.
"Who are you?!" "How dare you trespass on the territory of my Blazing Erosion Clan!!" "Get out of my way!"
The other five stepped forward simultaneously, their violent Fate Soul essence surging up, and streams of crimson-black flames coiling around their bodies. They stared intently at Qin Yu and his companion, cruel and ferocious smiles on their lips, as if they were already contemplating how to tear the two apart.
Qin Yu remained calm throughout – he slowly raised his right hand. Clang – the Silent Origin Stainless Sword was slowly drawn from its sheath – the sword's sound was clear and melodious.
A Silent Origin Sword flowed quietly between heaven and earth. On the other side, Qian Wenwan also slowly grasped the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword, and a warm white sword light gently emerged, forming a stark contrast with the entire scorched earth.
Qin Yu slowly raised his eyes, his gaze calmly meeting the six people. "I'll only say this once: if you don't want to die, get lost and don't block my way." His words fell to the ground. The entire space fell silent for a moment, then...
The muscles on the faces of the six men twitched violently at the same time, veins bulged on their foreheads, and their eyes were instantly filled with rage. "Insolence--!!!" Boom!! The Fate Soul essence within the six men erupted simultaneously, and the entire world was completely covered by rolling crimson and black flames. Almost at the same time, the six men drew their respective divine weapons, one of them wielding a giant axe that could split mountains.
Some carried black flame battle blades, some wielded two fanged short blades, some carried flaming heavy hammers on their shoulders, and two others held blood-patterned spears and pitch-black greatswords respectively. The six divine weapons simultaneously unleashed extremely violent and scorching Dao auras. The next moment, the six people simultaneously and rapidly formed hand seals, with crimson and pitch-black primal forces constantly intertwining.
Six completely different yet shared divine abilities simultaneously coalesced, and the leading man with the giant axe roared, "Wrath Burns the Eight Desolations!"
The giant axe crashed down, and countless raging flames gathered wildly in the heavens and earth, forming a phantom of a giant lava axe tens of thousands of feet long, which slashed down from the sky. The closer the axe light got to its target, the more it could ignite the enemy's anger. Once the emotions were out of balance, the axe's power would multiply, incinerating the target along with their Fate Soul.
Another man wielding a black knife chuckled maliciously in a low voice, "Evil Thoughts Erode the Heart!"
With a gentle sweep of the black blade, countless black fire lines instantly spread across the sky and earth. Each fire line continuously eroded the target 'Fate Soul, infinitely amplifying the darkest, most violent, and cruel thoughts within, causing the enemy to lose their composure and ultimately be completely devoured by their own evil thoughts.
The man with the dual blades suddenly crossed his arms. "Wrath Bone Soul Rend!"
The two bone blades instantly transformed into countless crimson and black sword beams, each carrying an element of rage, specifically designed to shatter the resonance of the Fate Soul, gradually severing the connection between the enemy's Fate Soul and body. The burly man wielding the hammer shattered the earth with a single step. "Burning Prison Sinks the Heavens!"
The black flame hammer crashed down, and a molten lava inferno, formed entirely of rage and malice, descended with a deafening roar. The surrounding space contracted rapidly, threatening to completely suppress Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan within, condemning them to eternal torment by the flames.
The man with the long spear lightly twitched the tip of his spear. "Evil River Devours Life!"
A long river formed from crimson and black flames swept across the heavens and earth, with countless ferocious phantoms churning within it. Each phantom represented the raging will of the Blazing Erosion Clan's fallen warriors throughout history, frantically rushing towards their target.
The last sword-wielding cultivator slowly raised his greatsword, his eyes already blood-red. "Blazing Erosion Final Flame!"
The giant sword was raised high into the sky, and the entire sky split open instantly. A dark red fiery sun slowly descended, and endless raging flames poured down from the sky, as if to burn the entire world to ashes. The six great divine powers descended at the same time, and the entire territory of the Blazing Erosion Clan was instantly transformed into a purgatory of destruction.
Anger, malice, burning, plundering, destruction, and tyranny—six distinct primal forces—intertwined, transforming into a massive, all-encompassing torrent of slaughter that swept towards Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan.
The six supernatural powers descended simultaneously, transforming the entire scorched wasteland into a raging inferno. Crimson-black fury, malevolence, and the power of destruction intertwined, causing tens of thousands of feet of void to continuously crack, and torrents of magma to surge into the sky, leaving the world in a scene of utter destruction.
Qin Yu remained standing, his expression unwavering. He simply raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, its blade slightly tilted. A wisp of almost transparent Daoist aura of Annihilation flowed out, and he took a light step forward, the sword slowly slicing through the air. "Silent Origin Stainless Sword— " "First Form." "No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword and Annihilation."
As the sword fell, there was no vast sword light, no earth-shattering phenomenon, only an extremely thin gray-white sword mark that slowly extended from the sword's edge. Wherever that sword mark passed, the entire world suddenly fell silent. As soon as the six Blazing Erosion Divine Powers came into contact with that sword mark, the surging anger, evil thoughts, origins, and rules within the divine powers began to gradually subside.
The Wrath Burns the Eight Desolations came to a halt first. The giant lava axe hovered in mid-air, and the originally boiling flames of rage quickly dimmed. The source of the Wrath Clan that constituted the divine power lost its meaning to continue burning, and the entire divine axe began to slowly turn into ashes from the blade inward.
Within the Evil Thoughts Erode the Heart, countless black flames struggled and tried to erode the sword intent, but the sword light merely swept past silently, and all the malevolent thoughts subsided on their own. There was no collision, no explosion; those malevolent thoughts seemed to have suddenly forgotten why they were born. One by one, the black flames extinguished themselves, and finally, along with the entire divine power, they slowly dissipated.
Following closely behind, the six great supernatural powers —Wrath Bone Soul Rend, Burning Prison Sinks the Heavens, Evil River Devours Life, and Blazing Erosion Final Flame —all produced strange phenomena. They were not forcibly defeated, but under the shroud of that thoughtless sword intent, the Source Dao that maintained the operation of all these supernatural powers all fell silent and dissolved on their own in no time.
Boom! The six divine powers collapsed simultaneously, the raging flames vanished in an instant, and the entire world returned to calm. The six Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered backward, their eyes filled with disbelief. At that moment, Qian Wenwan also slowly stepped forward.
Compassion and Joy gently raised her sword, without any killing intent, and simply swung it out with her first strike. "Great Dream Returns to the Nest." As the sword slowly fell, an extremely warm radiance gradually spread between heaven and earth. There was no sharpness, no pressure, and countless warm white light spots began to slowly fall from the scorched earth.
