Qin Yu did not immediately continue to draw his sword. His gaze slowly swept over the Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation that covered the sky and earth. The entire array stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles. Each array pattern was connected to a volcano, and each river of lava flowed with the original aura accumulated by the Wrathful and Evil races over millions of years. The raging flames constantly gathered in the center of the array, and then flowed outwards again along the red and black patterns.
Qin Yu's Fate Soul slowly circulated, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram quietly unfolded, and the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel slowly rotated in the depths of his sea of consciousness. Countless causal trajectories, Fate Soul patterns, and spiritual source flows were constantly disassembled and reassembled in his eyes.
Soon, his eyes narrowed slightly. All the power of the entire formation would eventually pass through the same node, and then be dispersed back to the four corners of the earth from that node. And that node was right under Chi Xiao's feet.
Chi Xiao himself had long since merged with the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation. He was not presiding over the array, but had become the array itself. As long as Chi Xiao did not fall, the array could continuously draw upon the Anger and Aversion Origin from the entire Southern Region. Even if a group of elite Blazing Erosion Clan were wiped out, the array would immediately replenish them.
Qin Yu slowly withdrew his gaze and whispered to Qian Wenwan, "The core of the formation is Chi Xiao. It is now completely connected to the Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation. You hold back the entire formation for me and prevent the formation patterns from re-aggregating. I'm going to destroy the core."
Upon hearing this, Qian Wenwan did not hesitate at all. With a slight tremor of the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword in her hand, she transformed into a warm ray of light and soared into the sky. The warm white sword light continued to spread, blocking the red and black array patterns one after another. Although the power of Compassion and Joy could not directly destroy the great array, it could continuously weaken the connection between the Anger and Aversion Origin, making the operation speed of the entire array significantly slow down.
At the same time, Qin Yu took a step forward, transforming into a streak of gray-white light, rapidly traversing between countless gaps in the array patterns. He did not force his way through, but instead continuously used the gaps in the flow of the array patterns, each time appearing precisely at the weakest point in the array's operation, getting closer and closer to Chi Xiao.
Just as Qin Yu was less than a hundred feet away from the array's core, Chi Xiao suddenly raised his head, his eyes, filled with fury, locked onto Qin Yu, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
He suddenly gripped the Heaven-Splitting Great Axe tightly with both hands, and the Wrath Clan's essence within him burst into flames. The entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation surged violently with his breath, and countless torrents of magma rose into the air simultaneously, converging on the giant axe. The giant axe quickly transformed into a massive, blazing sun burning with crimson-black flames, and countless roaring figures continuously emerged from the raging flames. Each figure represented a wisp of the Wrath Clan's accumulated will of fury over millions of years.
Chi Xiao roared to the sky, "The Wrath Clan's Guardian Divine Power— Wrath Prison Heavenly Ashes!" "Wrathful flames burn the heavens, and all spirits fall!" As soon as he finished speaking, the giant axe slammed down.
The raging sun instantly split open, and endless crimson-black flames transformed into countless torrents of raging fire, each carrying a violent will to incinerate Fate Soul. The entire sky turned into a burning sea of fire, space collapsed continuously, the earth cracked one after another, and tens of thousands of miles of scorched wasteland were plunged into an endless inferno. All the raging fire finally condensed into a destructive axe light that spanned the heavens and the earth, pressing down on Qin Yu.
Qin Yu remained calm as he slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword. No dazzling light shone from its blade; only a layer of almost transparent, Annihilation Dao aura flowed gently around it. Qin Yu gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were devoid of any emotion. "Slaying Dao - Annihilation Heavenly Sword." "First Realm - Rules Extinguished."
A sword was swung out.
The gray-white sword light was not large, but in the instant it appeared, it annihilated all the rules of heaven and earth along its path. The rules that fueled the burning flames began to collapse, the flames lost their basis for burning, and destruction lost its foundation for existence. The sea of fire in the sky was extinguished one after another, and a gray-white sword mark that stretched across the sky and earth flowed upstream, directly slashing towards the axe light of destruction.
Boom! The gray-white sword marks collided head-on with the crimson-black axe light, causing the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation to tremble violently.
Half the sky was ablaze with endless flames, while the other half was completely covered by gray-white Annihilation. The two completely different primal forces clashed violently, causing countless spaces to shatter and recombine repeatedly. Shockwaves swept in all directions, and hundreds of volcanoes exploded simultaneously, sending lava soaring into the sky only to be pushed back down into the earth by the aftershocks.
Qin Yu's body trembled slightly, and he took dozens of steps back. Chi Xiao was also forced back a step.
However, the next moment, the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation suddenly activated, and endless Anger and Aversion Origin from all directions poured into Chi Xiao's body. The power he had just consumed was instantly restored, and he was even more violent than before.
Chi Xiao slowly raised his giant axe, a wanton laugh spreading across his face. "Hahahaha!" "Outsider!"
"With the blessing of the Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation, my source energy is inexhaustible!" "My power doubles!" "My Fate Soul doubles!" "My rage doubles!" "And you, with every swing of your sword, lose a fraction of your power." "What do you have to contend with for the entire Blazing Erosion Southern Region!"
His Chi Xiao laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation erupted once again with an even more terrifying crimson-black divine radiance, as if the entire Southern Region had been transformed into his source of power.
Using the aftershocks of the collision between the two divine powers, Qian Wenwan swiftly retreated to Qin Yu's side. The Compassionate Joy Divine Sword was held horizontally in front of her, its warm white light continuously shielding the two from the surging flames around them. Gazing at the still expanding "Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation," a hint of solemnity appeared between her brows. She softly said, "Young Master Qin."
Qin Yu slowly raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to worry, but his gaze never left the flow of the entire formation. He calmly said, "It's alright." His eyes slowly swept over the countless crimson and black array patterns, and the Nine-Wheel True Evolution Dharma Wheel continuously deduced within his sea of consciousness. Suddenly, he gently shook his head, a hint of realization flashing in his eyes, "I was careless just now. This is originally the inner world of the Layered Realm Void Great Emperor."
They themselves are manifestations of the seven emotions; within this world, every trace of anger and every evil thought can sense each other, and no sneak attack can truly escape their notice. He said this, slowly closing his eyes, a wisp of ancient primordial Dao energy rising gently from his palm. "Since that's the case, then let's not look for opportunities anymore, but directly dismantle this formation."
Qin Yu slowly turned to look at Qian Wenwan, his expression calm. "Next, I will use the Primordial Hongmeng Great Luo Heavenly Chapter to find the true weakness of the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation. Once I have locked onto the array's vital point, you don't need to worry about anything else."
"Just one full-force strike with the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword will shatter the array's foundation." Qian Wenwan, seeing Qin Yu's resolute gaze, nodded without hesitation and gripped the Compassionate Joy Divine Sword tightly. "Alright, I'll await your signal."
At that very moment, the Chi Xiao above the array's core suddenly erupted in deafening laughter, its hands slamming down on the array plate beneath its feet, causing the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation to tremble violently once more. The crimson-black array patterns that had covered hundreds of thousands of miles suddenly began to rotate in reverse, and long rivers of magma detached from the earth, spiraling into the sky. Countless raging flames continuously converged, eventually transforming into nine crimson-black raging dragons that stretched across the heavens and earth.
Each raging dragon is tens of thousands of feet long, its body covered in rolling magma, its eyes burning with scarlet flames, and when it opens its mouth, it spews out not flames, but destructive runes formed from the very essence of rage and evil.
Nine raging dragons coiled simultaneously in the sky, their heads and tails linked together, and a colossal fire wheel covering the entire Southern Region slowly emerged. Chi Xiao stood at the center of the fire wheel, his hair disheveled, crimson-black essence constantly flowing from the cracks in his body, roaring to the heavens, "The second level of the Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation — Nine Wraths Burn the World!" With this roar, the nine raging dragons simultaneously swooped down.
Countless volcanoes erupted one after another, covering the entire sky in crimson and black. Flames transformed into waterfalls, cascading down from the heavens. The earth continued to collapse, melting piece by piece of land. The entire battlefield seemed to be facing the end of the world.
Qin Yu remained calm. He slowly raised his right hand, and an ancient and heavy primordial book slowly emerged from his palm. Before the pages were even unfolded, a vast and boundless aura that transcended the long river of time had already enveloped the entire world. The next moment, the Primordial Hongmeng Great Luo Heavenly Chapter slowly floated in front of Qin Yu. He stretched out his finger and gently turned one of the pages.
"Primordial Hongmeng - Great Luo Heavenly Chapter." "Time - Pages." The ancient book slowly turned the pages. The moment the first page was turned, the world suddenly fell silent. The moment the second page was turned, the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation froze.
As the third page slowly unfolded, a greyish-white river of time surged forth from the ancient book, traversing heaven and earth, passing through the past, present, and future. The entire battlefield began to undergo incredible changes: a distant, erupting volcano suddenly reversed its flow, the spewing lava receding back into its belly; the shattered earth reformed itself.
The nine raging dragons' gaping maws began to slowly close; the flying rocks receded, returning to their original positions. Then, in another area, time suddenly accelerated, and the churning of magma increased a thousandfold.
A charred ancient tree went from withering and decaying to turning to ashes in the blink of an eye. In many other places, everything was completely still. All flames, spatial rifts, and raging torrents of fire turned into gray-white silhouettes, suspended in the void, like paintings frozen in time.
Qin Yu stood quietly in the center of the river of time, his palm constantly turning the pages of the ancient book. With each page he turned, countless tributaries of time overlapped, disassembled, and replayed before his eyes.
The Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation, from its past setup to its present operation and future changes, unfolded slowly before his eyes like transparent scrolls.
His eyes swept across the entire formation, taking in every array pattern, every flow of origin, and every point where power converged. And the faint crimson light hidden deep within countless timelines finally began to slowly emerge.
Qin Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed; he had found the true weakness of the entire Wrath and Hatred Heaven-Burning Formation.
