After the Nine Hells Heaven-Burying Formation completely collapsed, the entire Ancient God Clan elder area no longer possessed the overwhelming power that had previously suppressed heaven and earth. The demonic energy in the sky continued to dissipate, and broken array patterns, like shattered mirrors, slowly fell from the night sky.
The eight elders suffered severe shock to their Fate Soul due to the backlash from their shared destiny, their auras became chaotic, and they even had great difficulty standing. Qin Yu, however, simply raised the Silent Origin Stainless Sword. The gray-white Daoist aura on the sword's edge remained calm, but the calmer it was, the more chilling it became.
One of the Eternal Silence Realm · High Stage suddenly steadied himself, his eyes bloodshot. "Everyone!" "Kill them all—" However, before he could finish speaking, Qin Yu had already taken a step forward. His figure vanished instantly, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of him. The elder's pupils suddenly contracted. "When—"
Qin Yu did not answer. The Silent Origin Stainless Sword No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword and Annihilation. A gray-white sword mark gently swept across the night sky. The elder had just raised his divine weapon, but his movement remained frozen in mid-air. His eyes gradually lost their luster, and his physical body, Fate Soul, and Dao foundation simultaneously turned into countless gray-white light spots, dissipating between heaven and earth.
With a single sword Annihilation, another Eternal Silence Realm · Middle Stage roared, burning his Fate Soul as his hands rapidly formed hand seals, "Ancient God Heaven-Splitting Seal!" A demonic seal hundreds of feet tall descended from the night sky. However, Qin Yu merely raised his left hand, "Heavenly Cause Judgment Sequence." "Orbital Collapse Lock Chain Annihilation." In an instant, countless dark golden chains cracked open in the sky.
A series of Fate Ring instantly locked onto the demonic seal. Then, the chains tightened rapidly, and with a deafening boom, the entire demonic seal shattered. The chains didn't stop; they pierced straight through the elder's body, and his very structure began to crumble layer by layer, from his physical body to his Fate Soul, and then to the foundation of his Dao, turning inch by inch into a black annihilation storm. He vanished completely before he could even utter a scream.
Seeing this, the third elder lost all will to fight and turned to flee. Qin Yu's eyes were calm. "Trying to leave?" The Silent Origin Stainless Sword was raised again. Silent Origin Stainless Sword - Third Form - Soulless Annihilation Abyss Sword. Nine chaotic annihilation marks silently swept across the heavens and earth. The elder's body suddenly stiffened, his sea of consciousness collapsed instantly, and his Fate Soul was broken into countless superdimensional fragments, falling into the Absolute Soul Abyss. Between heaven and earth, there was no trace of his Fate Soul left.
The remaining five elders were utterly terrified. Some roared and charged forward, some burned their life essence, some summoned their natal divine weapons, and some cast protective spells. However, Qin Yu never stopped. With each step he took, an elder fell. Some died under the No-Thought Absolute Silence Sword, their consciousness extinguished first, and their bodies dissipated afterward.
Some were locked in place by the Orbital Collapse Lock Chain Annihilation, their very existence extinguished within the dark golden chains. Others, barely unleashing their divine powers, had their Fate Soul severed by the Soulless Annihilation Abyss Sword, their bodies plummeting to the ground. The sound of divine weapons shattering echoed throughout the elders' area, and the radiance of Fate Soul extinguished one after another. In just a few dozen breaths, all eight Ancient God Clan elders, except for Yuan Cangming, Annihilation.
In the center of the ruins, Yuan Cangming knelt on one knee, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Gazing at the shattered temple and the completely vanished aura of the elders, a profound helplessness appeared on his aged face for the first time. He slowly raised his head, staring intently at Qin Yu, his voice hoarse. "You..." "Who exactly are you?" "Even if Luo Qingchuan had some conflicts with you... it doesn't warrant the annihilation of my entire Ancient God Clan."
He slowly stood up, a final trace of gloom still lingering in his eyes. "Do you know..." "The profound power behind my Ancient God Clan?" He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Today..." "If you leave now..." "I can pretend nothing happened..." "Between you and me..." "It's all over."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly, but the laugh was utterly devoid of warmth. "Just now," he said, "You were saying you would tear me to pieces. Now, you say you'll forgive and forget. Yuan Cangming, don't you find yourself ridiculous?"
Yuan Cangming's face was terrifyingly grim, his fists slowly clenching. "Boy," he said, "I advise you," his voice growing colder, "Don't be ungrateful." "Let me tell you the truth," he continued, "If you kill me today, when my clan leader returns, no matter where you flee, he will personally avenge us. The entire Eternal Nonexistence Limitless Domain will have no place for you."
After listening, Qin Yu showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he slowly narrowed his eyes, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips. "So..." "Your clan leader isn't in the clan." "No wonder." "He caused such a commotion." "He hasn't shown himself at all." He nodded slightly. "That's fine too." "Once I've killed you, I'll thoroughly plunder your clan's resources."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Cangming's killing intent exploded completely. He abruptly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the remaining essence of his Great Dao began to burn wildly. His aged body once again surged with ancient Gods and Devils energy. "Boy!" "Since that's how it is—" "Then today!" "This old man will fight you to the death!"
Yuan Cangming slowly stood up, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, staining the already shattered bluestone beneath his feet dark red. The entire ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan was now a ruin. The surrounding temples had collapsed, the demonic energy had dissipated, and he was now the only one left standing there alone among the eleven elders.
But at that very moment, the anger on Yuan Cangming's face gradually vanished, replaced by an almost maniacal grin. He slowly raised his head, his cold eyes fixed on Qin Yu. "Boy..." "This is what you forced me to do." "Since the Ancient God Clan cannot escape this calamity today..." "Then I will summon the Ancestor to descend!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Cangming suddenly bit his tongue! Pfft! A mouthful of blood containing the essence of his Fate Soul sprayed into the sky. Immediately afterward, he frantically formed hand seals, and countless obscure and ancient demonic runes flew from his palms, ultimately disappearing into the ancestral land below with a thunderous roar.
The entire ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan suddenly trembled violently, mountains and rivers cracked, temples collapsed, and a muffled rumble came from the depths of the earth, as if something that had been dormant for countless epochs had been completely awakened. The next moment, countless dark cracks spread rapidly beneath the ancestral land.
Rolling purplish-black demonic energy surged into the sky like a volcanic eruption. Instead of dispersing, this demonic energy gathered in the high sky and eventually transformed into an ancient phantom that was ten thousand feet tall. The phantom had no complete face, only a pair of blood-red eyes, which slowly opened in the darkness.
It surveyed the entire ancestral land, and with a single glance, the heavens and earth began to distort violently. The entire night sky of the God-Defying Heavenly Abyss seemed to slowly sink under that gaze. Ancient, violent, mad, destructive... an ancestral pressure that surpassed the entire Ancient God Clan slowly descended.
Deep within the ancestral land, countless remnants of ancient Gods and Devils runes simultaneously lit up, and dense ancient sacrificial inscriptions appeared on all the collapsed temple walls. Yuan Cangming slowly knelt on the ground, his hands outstretched, his expression almost fanatical. "Please, Ancestor..." "Grant me the source of demonic power!" Boom--
The illusory figure of the progenitor in the sky slowly raised his palm, and a purplish-black demonic pillar with a diameter of several thousand feet suddenly fell, crashing into Yuan Cangming's body. "Ah--!!!" Yuan Cangming roared to the sky, his whole body trembling wildly, his bones cracking continuously, and his flesh and blood began to rapidly regenerate.
Dark purple demonic runes began to spread wildly from his chest, quickly covering his entire body. His hands gradually transformed into sharp demonic claws, with jet-black nails extending continuously on his ten fingers, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light. Two enormous, pitch-black demonic horns, as black as night, slowly grew out from the sides of his forehead, their bodies covered with dark purple runes, each rune flowing with a rich primordial demonic source.
His shoulder armor continued to bulge, layer upon layer of Old Devil armor, interwoven with dark purple and pitch black, slowly growing out of his flesh and blood, as if it were naturally cast, completely integrated with his body. At this moment, his long hair also turned completely silver-white, hanging down to his waist, constantly flying in the rolling demonic flames. The most eerie thing was his eyes.
The once aged and cloudy pupils had completely disappeared, replaced by two narrow, blood-red demonic eyes, with purplish-black demonic flames burning deep within them. That gaze seemed capable of devouring a cultivator's Fate Soul.
Wisps of purplish-black demonic flames rose fiercely from behind him, stretching and extending into the deep night sky, transforming into two pairs of enormous battle wings that blotted out the sun. These were not the wings of ordinary birds, but were formed from the purest and most refined primordial demonic source.
Demonic flames surged at the edges of the demonic wings, with wisps of purple fire constantly escaping and swaying. Each slight tremor and sway caused the surrounding world to tremble violently, and the solid space was instantly torn apart with large crisscrossing black cracks. The demonic power was vast and awe-inspiring, shaking all directions.
As the initial transformation into a demon was completed, the previously decaying Fate Soul within Yuan Cangming's body began to surge wildly! Boom!!! Accompanied by another violent tremor of heaven and earth, that aura finally crossed the final boundary— the Eternal Silence Realm — the Supreme! The terrifying pressure of the Great Dao swept across the entire ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan.
The already collapsed temple was shattered inch by inch once again. Within a range of hundreds of thousands of feet, the earth continued to sink, and the dark clouds in the sky were also dyed deep purple by the rolling demonic source. Qin Yu stood there quietly, his gaze remaining calm as he looked at Yuan Cangming, who had completely transformed into a demon, without the slightest ripple. Yuan Cangming slowly lowered his head.
Those scarlet eyes, burning with demonic flames, were fixed on Qin Yu. His lips slowly parted, revealing a ferocious, crazed smile. "Boy..." "I don't care who you are." "Just now..." "I already gave you a chance." "It was you who..." "You were courting death."
He slowly raised his right hand, covered in the Primordial Demon Armor, his five fingers clenching tightly. Simultaneously, the demonic energy of the entire world converged wildly into his palm. Space cracked continuously, the ancestral land trembled violently, and Yuan Cangming's voice was deep and chilling, each word carrying boundless killing intent. "Today," he said, "I will make you pay the most terrible price for your foolishness."
