The Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation was fully activated with a thunderous roar—the heavens and earth trembled violently.
The dark red vertical pupil hanging high in the night sky suddenly opened completely, and the nine layers of demonic prison overlapped and rotated, as if nine real Ancient Demon Domain had descended into the world from the endless void. In the next instant, the nine black and red demonic dragons that were entwined in the four directions of heaven and earth raised their heads at the same time.
The swirling demonic prison within their bellies suddenly cracked open, and streams of dark red demonic energy converged wildly.
Wherever the demonic energy passed, the space did not collapse, but instead turned into black ash inch by inch, as if corroded by countless years. The stone pillar outside the Elder's Temple had just come into contact with a wisp of demonic energy when the entire pillar began to decay rapidly from the inside, turning into black ash that drifted everywhere.
Yuan Cangming stood at the center of the formation and slowly raised his right hand. "Nine Hells First Level--" "Ancient God Soul-Eroding Devil Breath!" Roar-- Nine demonic dragons simultaneously let out a deafening roar. Nine black and red torrents that covered the sky and earth surged out from nine directions at the same time.
The entire night sky was completely swallowed by demonic energy; it was no longer a supernatural power but more like a Sea of Form pouring down from the heavens.
Within the demonic aura, countless ancient Gods and Devils figures struggled incessantly, stretching out their withered arms to grab Qin Yu. Each demonic figure had dark red flames burning in its eyes and emitted piercing growls as it frantically attacked Qin Yu's Fate Soul. In an instant, the entire elder area was transformed into a World Extinguisher.
Qin Yu stood in the center of the storm, his black robes fluttering in the wind. Facing the demonic energy sweeping in from all directions, he did not immediately draw his sword. Instead, his dark eyes slowly closed, and his divine sense instantly spread out. His Fate Soul began to perceive the operation of the entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation —one... two... three...
The Fate Soul essence of the nine elders flowed continuously through the nine demonic chains. With each burst of demonic energy, the Fate Soul of all nine would tremble simultaneously. However, at the seventh cycle, a glint suddenly flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. "So that's how it is..." "Shared destiny..." "Not truly without flaws."
His divine sense swiftly locked onto the array diagram. Although the nine people's Fate Soul were linked, each time the nine origins completed a cycle, there would be a very brief instant when they simultaneously passed through the array's core. In that instant, the entire shared destiny structure would experience a barely perceptible pause. Although it was less than a millionth of a second, it was real. Qin Yu's lips slowly curled into a smile. "This array, you think you can kill me?"
At the same time, Yuan Cangming formed hand seals again, and the nine layers of demonic prison in the sky trembled violently. "Second layer!" "Devil Prison World Suppression!" Boom--The first layer of demonic prison suddenly fell. The entire world shook violently, and then, the second layer, the third layer, the fourth layer... the nine layers of demonic prison began to descend one after another.
With each layer that fell, the space collapsed thousands of feet, countless Dao patterns were crushed, and the entire night sky echoed with a dull rumble, as if the heavens and earth themselves were crumbling. Even before the Demon Prison had truly fallen, its terrifying pressure had already turned the ground around Qin Yu into an abyss.
The nine layers of demonic prison stretched out from one end to the other, seemingly intending to suppress Qin Yu and the entire world into eternal darkness. Just as the first layer of demonic prison descended upon him, Qin Yu finally slowly raised his left hand, his voice still calm. "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence— " "Fate Cause Sealing Mirror." "Logic Abyss Core." In an instant, a gray-white wheel of destiny slowly unfolded beneath Qin Yu's feet.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no surging killing phenomena, only fine and intricate logical patterns quietly spreading outwards. These patterns did not target the nine elders in the formation, but instead pierced through layers of formation light and went straight into the deepest part of the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation's origin.
The next moment, the entire ancient formation trembled violently, and a deep hum resounded in all directions.
The nine Fate Soul essences, which were originally rotating rapidly and flowing endlessly, suddenly stopped at the same moment. This was not a shackle of sealed spiritual power or frozen strength, but rather the original underlying logic that constructed the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation and supported the operation of the array was completely locked and sealed.
The nine elders' expressions changed drastically at the same time. They were horrified to discover that their Fate Soul essence could no longer flow along its original trajectory, and the connection between the Nine Hells began to stagnate. One... two... three... The originally flawless shared destiny structure began to show fine cracks. Crack... the first crack appeared.
Immediately following the second, the third... cracks spread rapidly. For the first time, the entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation became unstable, Yuan Cangming's expression suddenly changed. "Not good!" He froze the source logic of the formation! "Stabilize the formation!" The other eight elders roared at the same time, frantically urging their Fate Soul to repair the cracks.
However, the cracks continued to spread, and the entire formation began to vibrate violently. At that moment, Luo Qingchuan roared, "Everyone!" "I entrust the formation to you to maintain!" "I must personally kill him!" Boom—he took a step forward, and his entire body instantly disappeared into the eye of the Nine Hells Formation. The next moment, endless demonic energy poured in, and his body began to expand rapidly.
Covered in jet-black demonic armor, his arms transformed into ferocious bone blades, two curved demonic horns sprouted from his forehead, and six bone wings suddenly unfolded behind him. A complete ancient demonic form, hundreds of feet tall, slowly stood between heaven and earth. His dark red demonic eyes slowly opened, and the entire night sky was instantly covered in blood.
At the same time, the other eight elders did not leave their positions. Instead, they simultaneously injected their own Fate Soul into Luo Qingchuan's body, and black and red demonic chains pierced through the heavens and earth, all connecting to Luo Qingchuan's back. His aura began to rise wildly, and whenever his power weakened, the eight Fate Soul essences would instantly replenish it.
It seemed... he would never run out of strength, never fall. Luo Qingchuan slowly lowered his head, looking down at the tiny Qin Yu below, his demonic voice shaking the heavens and earth. "Boy--" "Today." "This old man will see." "How many more times can you withstand this old man!" Qin Yu slowly raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword, its blade shimmering with gray-white light, his gaze remaining calm as he stared at the ancient demonic figure standing between heaven and earth, showing no sign of retreat.
Within the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation, Luo Qingchuan's ancient demonic true form took a step forward with a boom! His demonic body, hundreds of feet tall, landed, instantly causing the earth to crack and the ground within a radius of hundreds of thousands of feet to spread wildly like a spider web.
His dark red demonic eyes were fixed on Qin Yu, and the divine weapon in his hand had already completely merged with his right arm, with pitch-black demonic flames constantly coiling around it. "Boy—" This old man will personally tear you to pieces! With a roar, Luo Qingchuan's entire ancient demonic form suddenly vanished.
The next moment, a pitch-black demonic shadow spanned a thousand feet, and a punch slammed into Qin Yu's face. Before the fist even landed, the surrounding space collapsed layer by layer. The entire world resounded with deafening roars, but Qin Yu remained calm. He lightly stepped forward, his figure like a gray-white stream of light, and gently swept past the fist.
Boom! The punch slammed down, instantly turning the entire temple behind it into ruins, with rubble shooting into the sky. Dust and smoke filled the night sky. Luo Qingchuan roared, and six bone wings unfurled simultaneously as he lunged at Qin Yu once more. Fist, palm, elbow, knee... every strike carried the Fate Soul of the entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation.
The eight elders continuously poured their Fate Soul essence into him, and his power not only did not weaken, but grew stronger. However, no matter how violent his attacks were, Qin Yu never met them head-on. His figure constantly moved between the demonic fists, and every step he took precisely avoided Luo Qingchuan's most fierce strike, like a wisp of Qingfeng walking in a storm, never being truly hit.
Suddenly, Luo Qingchuan roared, his entire ancient demonic form leaping into the air, his fists clasped together, unleashing a torrent of demonic flames as he crashed down. "Die!" Boom! The heavens and earth seemed to collapse at that moment. Qin Yu slowly raised his head, gazing at the ancient demonic figure that blotted out the sky, a faint smile slowly appearing on his lips. "Finally..." "I saw it." He had been constantly dodging.
It wasn't that they were being suppressed, but rather that they were observing, observing the true operation of the entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation. Every time Luo Qingchuan unleashed his full power, the other eight elders would simultaneously pour their Fate Soul essence into his body. And just now, with this attack, the Fate Soul of all nine of them actually converged on Luo Qingchuan at the same time.
It was at that very instant that the true core node at the deepest part of the entire formation was finally fully exposed. Qin Yu's eyes narrowed sharply. "So..." "The real flaw..." "was here."
Luo Qingchuan's fist had already landed, and Qin Yu finally took the initiative to draw his sword for the first time. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was slowly raised, and a gray-white light instantly covered the world on its blade. "Causeless Disillusionment Sword." The moment this sword was swung, the entire world seemed to lose all sound. There was no earth-shattering sword light, no dazzling divine radiance.
Only a very thin, grayish-white sword mark lightly swept across the void, as if all cause and effect had been severed at this moment. Swoosh—the sword light swept past. Luo Qingchuan's ancient demonic true form, which blotted out the sky, suddenly stopped. His fist was less than a foot away from Qin Yu, but he could no longer bring it down. The next moment, starting from between his eyebrows, a grayish-white crack slowly spread.
Then, it swiftly covered the entire ancient demon's true form. Crack... Boom—The ancient demon's body, hundreds of feet tall, shattered into pieces on the spot, along with the Fate Soul essence continuously supplied by the eight elders, all of which was severed by this sword. "No--!!" Luo Qingchuan let out a final desperate roar. His entire body turned into countless gray-white light spots and completely Annihilation.
"Not good!" Yuan Cangming's expression suddenly changed drastically. "That kid found the flaw!" However, it was too late. Just as Luo Qingchuan was completely Annihilation, Qin Yu took a step. His entire body disappeared instantly. The next moment, he appeared in front of the true core node of the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation, where the nine Fate Soul converged.
Without any hesitation, Qin Yu brought down the Silent Origin Stainless Sword. "Slash!" Boom—this sword precisely slashed into the deepest part of the formation. The entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation trembled violently, followed by a massive crack spreading wildly from the formation's core. Crack... crack...
The nine demonic chains snapped simultaneously, the dark red vertical pupil high in the sky shattered instantly, the nine layers of demonic prison collapsed one after another, and the entire Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation could no longer be maintained. Boom!!! Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation covering the entire elder area completely collapsed on the spot, and the black and red demonic energy in the sky surged back wildly.
One after another, the array patterns exploded, shattering all the elders who had participated in setting up the array, and causing them to suffer backlash from the array. "Pfft--" Yuan Cangming was the first to spit out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered back dozens of steps, and his Fate Soul essence violently trembled. The other eight elders were also sent flying backward at the same time. Some crashed heavily into the stone pillars of the temple, while others were smashed into deep pits in the ground. Some had cracks spreading continuously on their Fate Soul, and their faces were deathly pale.
The entire elders' residence was a scene of devastation, the array formations shattered, and their remaining power dissipated. Qin Yu stood calmly in the center of the array ruins, his black robe billowing in the wind. A faint gray-white light slowly flowed across the blade of his sword, exuding Ultimate sense of Annihilation. His gaze was calm and unwavering as he looked down at the heavily injured and weakened elders of the Ancient God Clan below. This fate was, to him, entirely within his expectations from the beginning.
