The six Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators shuddered violently. The rage in their eyes began to fluctuate wildly, and for the first time, the burning fury within them paused. They seemed to hear an extremely soft voice, as if someone were gently asking, "Tired?" "Why must you keep killing?" "Why can't you stop?"
Their bodies began to tremble slightly. One of them slowly loosened his grip on his sword, while the rage in the other's eyes gradually subsided, and a tear unexpectedly slid down his cheek. He stared blankly at his hands. "This is..." "What does this feel like..." "Why..." "My heart... hurts..."
For the first time, they felt an emotion they had never experienced before—a warmth, a sense of being cared for, a desire to stop, a wanting to protect something. But as soon as this feeling arose, the six of them paled drastically. "No!" "This is evil magic!!" "Quickly notify the clan!!"
The leader suddenly bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto a black bone rune on his chest. With a crack, the rune shattered instantly, and a crimson-black beam of light shot straight into the sky. At the same time, the majestic Blazing Erosion Divine City in the distance suddenly trembled violently.
Rumbling—from the depths of the entire divine city, countless furious auras soared into the sky, and hundreds of figures flew out of the divine city almost simultaneously, their rolling flames blotting out the sun. At the forefront, a familiar figure, carrying a giant axe on his shoulder, shattered the sky as he arrived. Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly; the newcomer was none other than Chi Xiao, the member of the Angry Wrath Clan who had been severely injured by his sword and fled in a sorry state at the Duckweed Clan Clan!
Chi Xiao recognized Qin Yu instantly. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and the giant axe on his shoulder crashed down, smashing the ground hundreds of feet deep. "It's you again!!" "Good!" "I didn't even go looking for you, but you delivered yourself to my doorstep!" "Last time at the Duckweed Clan Clan, it was my carelessness!" "Today, you won't escape!!"
Qin Yu stood there quietly, a faint smile slowly spreading across his lips, a smile tinged with contempt. He slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, its blade pointing directly at Chi Xiao. "A defeated opponent." "Yet you dare to speak such arrogant words." "Today, it's not just you." "The entire Blazing Erosion Clan..." "They should all return to their origin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xiao's facial muscles twitched violently. He suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand and roared deafeningly at the hundreds of elite Blazing Erosion Clan behind him. "Bullshit--!!" "Everyone!" "Attack!" "Crush them completely!!"
Boom!! Hundreds of elite Blazing Erosion Clan roared in unison, flames shooting into the sky. Together with the six cultivators from before, hundreds of figures simultaneously drew their divine weapons: battle axes, heavy swords, black spears, bone halberds, fire hammers, demonic swords... countless weapons were pointed at Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan.
In the next instant, hundreds of elite Blazing Erosion Clan, like a torrent of burning black and red flames, trampled the scorched earth and charged in from all directions with earth-shattering roars. The entire Blazing Erosion Wasteland trembled violently with the advance of this army.
With a roar of Chi Xiao, hundreds of elite Blazing Erosion Clan charged forward, their raging flames instantly engulfing tens of thousands of miles of land. Hundreds of divine weapons simultaneously blazed with crimson divine light; battle axes, bone knives, black spears, heavy hammers, and blood halberds intertwined to create a destructive torrent.
The scorched earth cracked and crumbled as they charged forward, spewing out crimson magma. Volcanoes erupted simultaneously, and a rain of fire fell like meteors. The entire Blazing Erosion Southern Region trembled violently with the army's charge.
Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, they moved simultaneously.
Qin Yu took a step into the air, gently raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, and instantly transformed into a gray-white sword light, disappearing from the spot. Between heaven and earth, gray-white sword marks crisscrossed continuously, and with each sword mark that swept past, a Blazing Erosion Clan cultivator's body suddenly stopped.
The divine weapons in their hands did not break, the Fate Soul within them did not explode, but the burning Wrath Clan of their Nu Clan rapidly subsided at this moment, as if the very foundation of their existence had been severed by that sword. Qin Yu's longsword trembled slightly once more, and he slowly uttered a few words: "Silent Origin Stainless Sword - Second Form, Causeless Disillusionment Sword."
The sword intent spread out completely, and the entire world seemed to have lost the existence of "cause".
All the divine powers rushing towards Qin Yu disintegrated on their own before they even got close; all the weapons that had been raised lost their reason to continue swinging. One after another, the elite Blazing Erosion Clan stood there blankly, their bodies gradually turning into gray-white particles of light, until even their Fate Soul essence was completely Annihilation between heaven and earth.
On the other side, Qian Wenwan had transformed into a warm ray of light and slowly ascended into the sky. The Compassionate Joy Divine Sword was slowly raised, without any soaring killing intent or sharp sword light.
As she gently swung her sword for the first time, a warm glow instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. "The Great Dream Returns to the Nest." In that instant, the entire scorched wasteland was filled with an unprecedented warmth, and countless warm white petals slowly drifted down.
Each petal fell onto a cultivator of the Blazing Erosion Clan.
Those Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators who had just been contorted with rage and fury now began to tremble violently. The savagery in their eyes slowly faded, and their hands, which had been gripping their divine weapons, began to loosen their grip little by little. Images they had never possessed before kept flashing through their minds.
Some saw their mothers gently embracing them, some saw the carefree smiles of their childhood, some saw a pair of eyes that had always been waiting for them to return home. For the first time, the anger that had burned within them for millions of years paused, and some wept softly.
Some people slowly knelt down, while others wore smiles they had never seen before. Just as they were completely immersed in that warmth, the light of the Compassion and Joy Sword slowly descended. There was no blood, no explosion. The cultivators wore smiles of relief and peace as their bodies slowly transformed into specks of warm white light, dissipating into the world, as if they had finally ended their long and painful lives.
Two completely opposite paths intertwined perfectly at this moment: one was the Sword Dao of Finality of Annihilation, which annihilates all laws and returns to nothingness; the other was the Sword Dao of Compassion and Joy, which loves all living beings and returns to warmth.
Grayish-white sword marks and warm white glow intertwined, making the entire battlefield seem like two completely different worlds overlapping each other. One world was silent and still, while the other was warm and blooming. The charred lava kept extinguishing and then reigniting; grayish-white Dao patterns and warm golden glow reflected each other, illuminating the entire Blazing Erosion Divine City in a flickering light.
In just a few dozen breaths, more than eighty of the hundred elite Blazing Erosion Clan had been completely Annihilation, and the remaining twenty or so had already shown fear on their faces and had no will to fight left.
Chi Xiao stood at a distance, watching his clan's elite fall like weeds. His eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, veins bulged on his forehead, and his entire body trembled with rage. He finally realized that these two outsiders were no ordinary cultivators. If he allowed them to continue killing, the entire elite force that the Blazing Erosion Clan had mobilized would be wiped out.
"Come back—retreat quickly!!" This roar was like a thunderclap. The remaining elite of the Blazing Erosion Clan felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They immediately burned their source energy and desperately withdrew from the battlefield, all gathering behind Chi Xiao. Chi Xiao slowly raised the Heaven-Splitting Great Axe in his hand.
Those bloodshot eyes stared intently at Qin Yu and Qian Wenwan. The next moment, he suddenly bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of his primordial blood essence onto the giant axe. "With the essence of my Wrath Clan! Activate the Blazing Erosion Ancestral Formation! The Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation —Open!" Rumble—
The entire Southern Region seemed to awaken simultaneously. The scorched earth stretching for hundreds of millions of miles began to tremble violently. Countless long-dormant volcanoes erupted at the same time, with billowing lava shooting into the sky. Rivers of crimson lava broke away from the earth and spiraled up from the void, transforming into countless crimson and black fire dragons that circled the heavens and the earth.
The remaining elite Blazing Erosion Clan sat cross-legged at the same time, each cutting open their palms and dripping their primordial blood essence into the earth. In an instant, a scarlet ancient array covering hundreds of thousands of miles appeared on the entire Blazing Erosion Southern Region, with countless ancient patterns extending continuously, each pattern connecting to a volcano.
Each volcano is connected to a long river of lava, and the primordial energy left behind by countless ancestors of the Wrath Clan and Hatred Clan rises continuously from the ground, converging at the center of the formation. The sky begins to burn, the earth begins to burn, and even space itself begins to burn.
A crimson-black light curtain slowly rose from the entire Blazing Erosion Divine City, obscuring the heavens and the earth. Endless rage and malice converged on the great formation. A blurry yet enormous crimson-black phantom slowly rose from the center of the formation, as if all the anger and evil of the entire Southern Region would erupt completely within this clan-suppressing formation.
Standing atop the array's core, Chi Xiao gripped his giant axe tightly, letting out a deafening roar of laughter. "Outsiders!" he cried. "Today I will show you the true power of my Blazing Erosion Clan, suppressed for millions of years!" "The Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation is activated!" "The entire Southern Region will become your burial ground!"
