Some people knelt on the ground, clutching their chests tightly with both hands, as if something was tearing them apart inside their bodies; some people suddenly raised their heads, their necks stretching out, emitting a chilling sound of bones cracking; and some people's arms exploded, but instead of bleeding, they turned into a swirling cloud of black and red mist that wrapped around their bodies again.
The Hatred Clan leader also let out a deafening roar. He suddenly knelt down, the demonic halberd in his hand vibrated violently, and countless vengeful souls kept crawling into his body. His chest began to swell, and hideous bone spurs slowly pierced through his skin and grew out. His whole body seemed to be forcibly transformed by some more terrifying being.
An even more horrifying scene unfolded: the remaining thousands of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators, shrouded in blood-red light, all ceased their struggles. They slowly raised their heads, their eyes completely devoid of light, and then, step by step, walked towards the Hatred Clan leader.
No one spoke, no one resisted. Their bodies disintegrated as they walked, their flesh turning into flowing blackish-red liquid, their bones into grayish-white fragments, and their Fate Soul essence into streams of scarlet light, all converging towards the Hatred Clan leader.
More and more people joined in, and more and more origins continued to accumulate. From a distance, it looked like a black and red torrent composed of thousands of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators, slowly flowing towards the ever-expanding figure in the center of the world. The Hatred Clan leader stood there with his arms outstretched.
As countless members of his clan transformed into his essence and merged into his body, his body continued to grow taller, and the demonic halberd began to further fuse with his flesh.
A sense of oppression far exceeding anything seen before is rapidly awakening between heaven and earth.
The entire fusion process was filled with an aura of eeriness, despair, and destruction, as if a true Ultimate demonic form belonging to the Anger and Aversion Origin was about to descend completely amidst the sacrifices of countless clansmen.
Thousands of the Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators converged on the Hatred Clan leader amidst the crimson soul light. They had lost all their senses, showing no struggle or fear, their faces displaying only a near-sacrificial fervor.
One after another, their bodies rapidly disintegrated as they approached the commander, their flesh turning into churning rivers of blood, their bones into stark white bone dust, and their Fate Soul essence condensing into streams of dark light that continuously entered the body that had already merged with the demonic halberd.
With each new person absorbed, the figure grew taller, and the raging Anger and Aversion Origin emanating from its body intensified. The rumbling of bones reforming echoed throughout the world, like billions of mountains colliding with each other. The entire land of the Blazing Erosion Divine City began to collapse, long rivers of lava surged upwards, and the sky was completely covered by crimson blood clouds.
Finally, when the last Blazing Erosion Clan cultivator transformed into his essence and disappeared into it, a crimson pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth suddenly erupted, completely engulfing the entire world, turning everyone's vision into a blood red.
Qin Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened. He grabbed Qian Wenwan's shoulder and shouted in a deep voice, "Retreat quickly!" Simultaneously, the Blue Ring behind Xiao Yue emitted starlight, and the three figures transformed into streaks of light, instantly retreating a hundred miles away. The very next moment after they left, the scarlet pillar of light suddenly exploded, its destructive impact sweeping in all directions. Mountains were instantly reduced to dust, and the void shattered like a mirror struck by a heavy hammer, the entire world violently shaking.
The crimson light that filled the sky lasted for a long time before gradually dissipating. As the last wisp of crimson slowly faded away, a colossal creature that sent shivers down one's spine slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
It was hundreds of feet tall, its entire body seemingly forcibly fused together from the flesh, bones, and Anger and Aversion Origin of countless Blazing Erosion Clan cultivators. Its muscles were not a complete body, but rather layers of constantly writhing dark red flesh intertwined and covered each other. Its chest bulged high, and one painful, distorted human face after another constantly emerged from the flesh and blood, only to quickly sink back into its body. Countless souls were still struggling endlessly inside.
Its shoulders were covered with jagged, mountain-like bone spurs, and it dragged behind it with tattered but enormous fleshy wings, the wing membranes covered with cracks, each crack burning with dark red flames.
Its head had lost its human form, with long, curved, pale horns shooting into the sky. A vertical crack appeared on its forehead, from which gray-black primordial flames flowed continuously. Its eyes had no pupils, only two constantly rotating crimson blood suns. When it gazed upon the heavens and earth, the entire space began to distort.
And the demonic halberd that originally belonged to the leader of the Hatred Clan has now been completely transformed.
The entire demonic halberd swelled to a length of a hundred feet, its shaft transforming into a jet-black spine resembling an ancient tree from the abyss, wrapped with countless wailing soul-locking iron chains; the halberd's tip completely transformed into a ferocious blood moon, with several sharp bone blades extending from both sides, each blade flowing with dark red blood.
Within the halberd, countless wronged souls wandered, their faces appearing and disappearing. Each struggle was accompanied by an extremely mournful wail, filling the entire world with a suffocating aura of death.
Just then, the ten Soul-Suppressing Flag hanging high in the heavens and earth trembled incessantly. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Ten streams of black and red light suddenly poured down, neither falling to the ground nor scattering in all directions, but all accurately nailing into the back of the blood-red demon.
Thud—The ten Soul Flags sank to the root into flesh and blood.
In an instant, countless streams of soul power surged into the demon's body along the flagpole. The ten soul flags, like ten heaven-locking pillars piercing the sky, completely connected it to the entire Blazing Erosion Divine City. The demon slowly raised its head, and a roar that shattered the heavens resounded throughout the world. Behind it, the ten soul flags fluttered wildly, and endless Anger and Aversion Origin continuously converged upon it, as if the entire world had become part of its power.
In the distance, the Blazing Erosion Clan chieftain slowly opened his arms, gazing at the crimson troll he had created with his own hands, and finally revealed an almost manic smile on his face.
"Hahahaha--" "A million years!" "I have been planning for a million years!" "Finally, I have succeeded!" He slowly raised his hand, pointing to the Wordless Heavenly Book in Qin Yu's palm, his eyes revealing his greed for the first time without any attempt to hide it.
"Outsider." "Do you see it?" "This is the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon, which I have meticulously nurtured for millions of years!" "It was born from the very essence of the Blazing Erosion Clan's Anger and Aversion Origin, the Ultimate vessel truly bearing rage and wickedness!" "I'll give you one last chance." "Hand over that Wordless Heavenly Book obediently." "This is your..." "Your last chance to live."
The air fell silent instantly. Qin Yu gripped the Silent Origin Stainless Sword tightly, his gaze calmly fixed on the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon that blotted out the sky. He then slowly looked at the Blazing Erosion Clan Chief, whose face was filled with maniacal laughter. There was no fear in his eyes, only an ever-growing chill.
The Rage and Hatred Blood Demon slowly raised its fully transformed demonic halberd, the ten Soul-Suppressing Flag piercing its back. Endless, boundless Anger and Aversion Origin poured forth from the banners. Its crimson eyes, like blood-red suns, slowly fell upon Qin Yu and the other two.
Without any roar or howl, he simply took a step forward, and the entire world suddenly sank, tens of thousands of miles of scorched earth simultaneously cracked, molten lava shot into the sky, and the space constantly emitted ear-piercing cracking sounds.
The next moment, the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon suddenly exerted force with both arms, tearing the heavens and earth apart with its hundred-foot-long demonic halberd, and a dark red halberd light that swept across the sky crashed down.
Before the halberd had even truly descended, the earth had already split open into a bottomless chasm, the sky was cleaved in two, and the raging Anger and Aversion Origin transformed into billions of black and red lightning bolts that continuously fell.
"Retreat!"
Qin Yu let out a low shout, stomped his foot, and soared into the sky. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword erupted with a gray-white sword light, slashing straight up at the halberd's edge. Qian Wenwan took to the air almost simultaneously with him, her Compassionate Joy Divine Sword drawing an extremely warm sword curtain, where the warm glow of the sky and the emerald green life essence intertwined.
It transformed into a gentle river stretching a thousand feet across the heavens and earth. Xiao Yue then lightly leaped into the void, with the Blue Ring floating behind her. Dozens of star-blue Dharma wheels continuously unfolded, layer upon layer of ring patterns covering the heavens and earth, constantly cutting through the logical trajectory around the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon.
Boom! The first true clash between the sword and the halberd shattered the entire world as if it had been violently smashed by two supreme forces.
The gray-white Annihilation, the warm white Compassion and Joy, and the star-blue Dharma wheel intertwined wildly with the endless Anger and Aversion Origin. Circles of destructive impact spread in all directions, instantly turning all the mountains along the way into dust, and the rolling lava was swept into the sky and then turned into a rain of fire falling from the sky.
The Rage and Hatred Blood Demon leaned back slightly, and Qin Yu and the other two were sent flying backwards. However, before they could regain their footing, the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon had already traversed ten thousand feet of void in one step. Its speed was breathtaking, and its massive body was not cumbersome at all. The demonic halberd drew a blood-red crescent moon in mid-air and swept across.
With a gentle wave of her Qian Wenwan's Compassionate Joy Divine Sword instantly split into thousands of sword shadows, and warm white light spread across the sky and earth. Sword after sword struck the Demon Halberd, and each collision unleashed a large expanse of warm radiance, causing the Anger and Aversion Origin to freeze briefly.
Qin Yu seized this moment and unleashed the Void Source · Dream Stillness once more. Hundreds of millions of Zero Point Offshoot instantly appeared, transforming into a gray-white torrent that continuously poured into the body of the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon, frantically devouring the Anger and Aversion Origin churning around it. At the same time, Xiao Yue let out a delicate shout.
"Logic Chain Severance!" The Blue Ring spun rapidly, and one star-blue chain after another wrapped around the demonic halberd, severing the fundamental connection between the demonic halberd and the Rage and Hatred Blood Demon layer by layer. The three formed a tacit understanding.
Qin Yu was responsible for directly suppressing Qian Wenwan as she continuously purified the Anger and Aversion Origin, while Xiao Yue continued to sever the connection with the Great Dao. The entire battlefield had completely transformed into a world-shaking war.
