The instant the primordial will shattered completely, the entire Ancient Demon Domain lost its backbone supporting the heavens and earth. Boom—
The primordial phantom, stretching across the nine heavens, began to crack inch by inch from its head. Countless purplish-black demonic patterns spread rapidly like shattered glass, and then, cracks pierced through the entire phantom. "No—"
An ancient roar filled with endless resentment and unwillingness resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The next moment, Boom!!! The illusory image of the Primordial Ancestor completely exploded. The boundless demonic energy scattered and collapsed like a runaway torrent. The entire Progenitor Domain began to collapse wildly. At the same time, Yuan Cangming's body suddenly trembled, poof—
A large mouthful of purplish-black blood suddenly spurted out, the ancestral demonic armor covering his entire body began to shatter rapidly, the two huge demonic horns on his forehead broke off inch by inch, the demonic wings that blotted out the sky on his back continuously turned into purplish-black light spots and dissipated into the world, and his pair of scarlet demonic eyes gradually returned to their turbid state, Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme within his body flowed away wildly like water bursting its banks.
The ultimate state of Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme... the pinnacle of Eternal Silence Realm Peak... the Eternal Silence Realm · High Stage... In just a few breaths, he fell back to the state he was in after being severely injured. What was even more terrifying was that the backlash from the collapse of the ancestral will was not just a drop in cultivation; the origin of his Fate Soul began to crumble continuously.
One, two, three... dense cracks rapidly covered the entire origin of Yuan Cangming 'Fate Soul. Yuan Cangming trembled violently, his knees slamming to the ground. The arrogant madness that had previously filled his eyes was gone, replaced by endless despair.
Qin Yu stood quietly in front, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword slowly lowering. Gazing at Yuan Cangming, who had completely lost the power of the Primordial Demon, his expression remained unchanged. He slowly moved forward, each step like a final judgment. Yuan Cangming struggled to raise his head, fear appearing in his eyes for the first time.
However, Qin Yu gave him no chance to breathe. He slowly raised his longsword, and the gray-white sword light once again illuminated the entire collapsing Progenitor Domain. Qin Yu's voice was calm. "Silent Origin Stainless Sword." "Second Form." "Causeless Disillusionment Sword." The sword rose without any earth-shattering sword light.
There was no earth-shattering roar from any direction. A slender, faint gray-white sword mark traversed the heavens and earth, gently slicing through the void. This sword light transcended spatial distance and the constraints of time, and in an instant, it had already reached Yuan Cangming.
Yuan Cangming suddenly threw his head back and let out a heart-wrenching roar, "No--!!!" The roar was filled with overwhelming resentment, endless regret, and despair that went deep into his bones.
Qin Yu stared at him coldly and indifferently, his tone completely calm. "That Return to the Ruins Tribulation Descent Pill was developed with your assistance by the Hua Lineage. Let me tell you the truth: if you had not been willing to submit to the Hua Lineage and bow down to them, I would not have set foot here, much less have I personally annihilated the entire Ancient God Clan."
Qin Yu's gaze was icy. "All of this today..." "was not because I severed the Ancient God Clan..." "but because you..." "personally destroyed the entire Ancient God Clan." As the last word fell, the gray-white sword light finally and completely slashed down. Chih - Yuan Cangming's body suddenly stiffened. The next moment, a gray-white crack slowly appeared between his brows.
Then it rapidly spread throughout his body, his Fate Soul, his Great Dao, his origin. Everything began to collapse at the same time. Yuan Cangming stared blankly at Qin Yu, the last trace of madness in his eyes had long since dissipated. What remained was only deep resentment and despair. In the end, his entire body turned into countless gray-white light spots, completely Annihilation, disappearing with Yuan Cangming.
The entire Progenitor Domain finally lost its last bit of support. Boom! The heavens and earth shattered completely. When Qin Yu took another step, the scene before him had returned to the ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan. At this moment, the eastern sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn, and the night was slowly receding.
The first rays of dawn pierced through the broken clouds, illuminating the ruins of the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land. Everywhere lay collapsed temples and fractured earth; the Ancient God Clan had long lost its former glory. Qin Yu slowly raised his head, gazing at the rising sun in the east, and spoke calmly, "Since we must destroy them, then we must nip them in the bud."
Having said that, he picked up the Silent Origin Stainless Sword and walked step by step towards the still towering main hall deep within the Ancient God Clan's territory. However, at that moment, two extremely powerful auras suddenly emanated from the distant eastern horizon. Whoosh—two streaks of light pierced the morning sky, hurtling towards the ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan at an incredible speed. Qin Yu slowly stopped and looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Heh, so you've finally arrived!"
Two streaks of light ripped through the dawn on the eastern horizon, their speed almost tearing the sky apart. Before they even descended, a voice filled with boundless rage echoed throughout the ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan: "Who—" "How dare you kill my clan's elder!!!" Boom—
With this furious roar, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged instantly, and a vast pressure poured down from the heavens. The mountains and rivers within a radius of tens of thousands of miles trembled simultaneously, and countless temples that had not yet completely collapsed crumbled again, with rubble constantly rolling down.
However, faced with this overwhelming pressure, Qin Yu simply stood quietly in the center of the ruins, the Silent Origin Stainless Sword still in his hand, his robes fluttering slowly in the morning breeze. His face remained expressionless, his gaze calmly fixed on the two approaching figures. He did not retreat even half a step, but simply waited quietly for their arrival.
In just a few breaths, boom! boom! Two figures landed simultaneously in the center of the Ancient God Clan's ancestral land. Terrifying shockwaves spread outwards, billowing dust. As the dust settled, the two figures finally revealed their true forms. The one in front was tall and imposing, wearing a purple-black ancient robe embroidered with ancient divine patterns. Although a few strands of silver hair had appeared at his temples, his brows exuded the unique majesty of a superior. His eyes were deep-set, and wisps of ancient divine purple flames faintly swirled around his body. With each step he took, ancient divine patterns would appear in the void beneath his feet.
This person was none other than Yuan Zhanxiao, the current patriarch of the Ancient God Clan, who had reached the peak of the Eternal Silence Realm. Beside him stood an old man with white hair.
The old man was dressed in a plain white robe without any fancy decorations. His face was aged and serene, and his eyes were unfathomable, as if they had witnessed countless years. He simply stood there quietly, yet he seemed to be one with the entire world, with the aura of the Great Dao constantly flowing around him.
The two elders of the Ancient God Clan, both at the pinnacle of the Yuan Xuangu Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme, froze when their gazes swept across the entire ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan. The once majestic and magnificent ancestral land of the Ancient God Clan had long since turned into ruins, with countless temples collapsed and countless mountains crumbling, leaving no trace of life in the entire ancestral land.
What shocked them even more was that when they simultaneously activated their Fate Soul perception, the entire Ancient God Clan was deathly silent. The Fate Soul aura of all the disciples had vanished, and the Fate Soul imprints of all the stewards had been severed. None of the ten elders remained, and even the Fate Soul essence left by the First Elder Yuan Cangming deep in the ancestral land had long since dissipated without leaving a trace.
It wasn't a fall, but a complete and utter annihilation. Apart from the two of them, not a single member of the entire Ancient God Clan remained alive. At this moment, the air was eerily quiet. The next instant, Yuan Zhanxiao's eyes were bloodshot. His whole body trembled violently, veins bulging on his forehead, as he stared intently at Qin Yu in the distance, his voice hoarse with Ultimate rage. "You little thief!!" "You... you..."
His lips trembled uncontrollably, and for a moment he couldn't utter a complete sentence. The killing intent, almost tangible, swept wildly across the entire ancestral land. Just as he was about to take a step forward, the white-haired elder beside him slowly raised his right hand. "Zhanxiao." "Step back."
The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. Yuan Zhanxiao's body trembled, and he stopped abruptly. His face was still filled with raging anger, but he ultimately did not continue forward. Yuan Xuangu slowly turned his gaze to Qin Yu. He looked at the young man in front of him, who was only at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage, and a trace of extremely difficult-to-detect solemnity flashed deep in his eyes.
He then gave a slight bow, his voice calm. "Fellow Daoist," he said, "I wonder where my Ancient God Clan has offended you?" "Or perhaps..." He paused. "Which senior expert has appointed you to annihilate my Ancient God Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhanxiao could no longer contain his rage. "Supreme Elder!" "Why waste words with him!" He took a sudden step forward, pointing angrily at Qin Yu. "Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage cultivator dares to slaughter my Ancient God Clan! Don't even mention that he has the Lineage standing behind him!" "Even if the Heavenly King himself came today, I would still annihilate him!"
The words had barely left his mouth when Yuan Xuangu's face darkened abruptly. "Shut up!" he barked. Yuan Zhanxiao froze. Yuan Xuangu gave him a cold glance. "You know too?" "He's only at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage?" "Then tell me."
"What is Yuan Cangming's cultivation level?" "What is the cultivation level of the Ten Elders?" "What is the foundation of the entire Ancient God Clan?" "Now they have all perished." "And he," Yuan Xuangu slowly looked at Qin Yu, "Is standing here unharmed." "Do you think..." "Can you do it?" The words fell.
Yuan Zhanxiao fell silent, staring intently at Qin Yu. Only now did he truly calm down. A cultivator at the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage, single-handedly annihilating the entire Ancient God Clan —such a thing was simply impossible unless... This young man before him was far more complex than he appeared.
Yuan Xuangu's expression softened again, as if nothing had happened. He looked at Qin Yu and slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, perhaps..." "Let's sit down and have a proper talk." "What do you say?"
Qin Yu stood there quietly, his gaze slowly sweeping over the two. "Eternal Silence Realm Peak," "Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme" —then, without answering, he simply waved his right hand. A stream of light flew out from the storage crystal core, the very same sealed ancient scroll. Whoosh!
The ancient scroll pierced the sky and landed steadily towards Yuan Xuangu Yuan Xuangu, who caught it with a slight frown. Qin Yu remained calm and said indifferently, "Alright. Since you want to talk, then take a good look at this secret scroll first."
