Deep within the Heavenly Desert Ancient Forest, Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue concealed their auras, hiding behind a dark cliff, their gazes fixed on the distant landscape that had transformed into a battlefield of purgatory.
Boom! A deafening roar that shook the ages suddenly erupted.
The Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord shattered a towering mountain with one foot, its enormous beastly body soaring into the air. Its three ferocious beast heads rose up simultaneously, and molten flames gathered wildly in its throat, causing the source of fire in the world to surge violently.
Countless flame patterns rapidly intertwined and took shape, and in the next instant, three giant mouths simultaneously spewed forth monstrous divine flames.
"The Primal Divine Power of All Beasts - Three Hells World-Burning Flame!" A deafening roar shook the entire world!
Three torrents of molten fire, each thousands of feet wide, tore through the sky. Within the flames, countless surging beast shadows appeared, each carrying the primal, ferocious power of all beasts. Wherever the flames passed, space continued to melt, and the earth instantly transformed into a crimson sea of fire, as if the entire ancient forest had fallen into World Extinguisher inferno.
Just as the flames were about to engulf everything, the figures engaged in battle suddenly leaped into the air.
He rapidly formed hand seals, his vast Fate Soul soaring into the sky, golden ancient patterns spreading from his feet towards the heavens. "Divine Power— Myriad Peaks Heaven-Suppressing Seal!"
Boom!
The sky trembled violently as nine majestic divine mountain phantoms slowly descended from the depths of the clouds. Each mountain exuded a profound and Source Dao aura, carrying a terrifying power that could suppress all ages.
The man thrust his palms forward with a mighty shove, and the nine divine mountains crashed down with a deafening roar! Three torrents of molten flame collided violently with the nine heaven-suppressing divine mountains.
Between heaven and earth, destructive shockwaves spread outwards in circles, flames swept across the sky, and the Divine Mountain crumbled inch by inch. Hundreds of miles of ancient forest mountain range were blown apart one after another, and countless fragments of rocks carrying burning lava fell continuously.
Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue hid behind a cliff in the distance, observing silently.
The two could see clearly that with each swing of its claws, the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord could tear open spatial rifts thousands of feet long; its thick, massive tail could sweep across and snap mountains in half.
This man's strength was equally unfathomable, with one primordial divine Divine Mountain after another continuously condensing, and palm prints, fist techniques, and strange phenomena of mountains and rivers appearing in turn. Every time their divine powers clashed, the heavens and earth trembled violently, as if two ancient beings who controlled destruction were fighting to the death.
... As the fierce battle continued, the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord suddenly paused for a moment, his three pairs of beast eyes, burning with molten flames, turned crimson to the Ultimate, and in the next instant, the origin within his body surged wildly.
Boom--!!
Molten flames erupted from the gaps in its scales, causing its massive body to swell even further. The fire elemental energy that roamed the surrounding world was powerfully drawn towards its body.
The behemoth went completely berserk. "Roar--!!"
A roar shook the sky, causing even the cliff where Qin Yu was hiding to crack. At that moment, the man in the midst of the battle swept his gaze across the thick smoke and dust, locking onto the location where Qin Yu and the other man were hiding.
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he abandoned the fight, abruptly turning around and rushing towards Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue's location at lightning speed, as fast as a streak of light cutting through the air.
Behind them, the utterly berserk Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord roared, his three beast heads locked onto the man, his mountain-like body relentlessly pursuing him. Ancient trees along the way were all burned, mountains collapsed one after another, and the entire Heavenly Desert Ancient Forest seemed to be witnessing World Extinguisher disaster.
In just a few breaths, the man rushed to within a hundred feet of the two. The moment Chi Xiyue saw his face clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she lowered her voice:
"Ju Zhongying! It really is him!" A chill ran through him. "As an elder of the Ju Lineage's Divine Cultivation Art Hall, could he be the Ju Lineage's hidden traitor?"
The moment the words fell, the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord behind him suddenly stopped, his three ferocious beast heads simultaneously rising to the sky. The pitch-black rock armor covering his entire body trembled continuously, and the crimson gold flames flowing through the gaps in the scales surged, with intense flames penetrating his spine and into the three heads.
The source of fire, spanning tens of thousands of miles around, was drawn in and transformed into crimson torrents that converged from the mountains, the earth's veins, and the depths of the void, condensing above it into a fiery domain of myriad beasts that covered the sky.
Deep within the fiery domain, countless ferocious beast phantoms formed from molten lava surged and roared, trampling each other as they hurtled into the sky. The Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord opened its three enormous mouths simultaneously, stirring up the molten lava that had accumulated beneath the ancient forest for countless years. The entire land rapidly turned dark red, and dense cracks spread along the mountains and rivers, from which scalding molten lava shot into the sky.
"Roar--!" The three beastly roars overlapped, and the clouds for thousands of miles instantly collapsed.
The next moment, the fire domain suddenly reversed. "The Primal Divine Power of All Beasts - Myriad Flames World Extinguisher Meteor!"
A continuous, heavy rumble suddenly came from the depths of the sky. Mountain-sized crimson-gold fire meteors tore through the sea of clouds, trailing long tails of flame that covered thousands of miles as they poured down. Within each fire meteor was the Fate Soul of a ferocious beast, roaring with its head held high. The essence of all beasts and the molten flames of the earth veins fused together. Before they even truly hit the ground, large sections of the entire Heavenly Desert Ancient Forest had already collapsed under that intense heat and pressure.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. He took a step forward and unleashed the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal.
The ancient seal rose into the void, and the boundless Dao patterns slowly unfolded from the depths of the seal, causing the surging fire essence around it to fall silent. Qin Yu held the seal with his five fingers, and his Fate Soul flowed into the front along the Dao patterns of the ancient seal, his deep voice piercing through the sky full of meteors.
"Nothingness Return to the Ruins, a Stillness Before Beginning."
The Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal trembled in the air, and a deep, silent domain unfolded before Qin Yu. Wherever the domain reached, the flames lost their upward momentum, the ferocious beast Fate Soul that had been raging and roaring within the fire meteors fell silent one after another, and the destructive power that had enveloped heaven and earth was drawn into that primordial realm, returning layer by layer to nothingness.
At the same time, Chi Xiyue raised both hands, suppressing the Fate Soul essence of the Eternal Silence Realm Initial Stage, which flowed along her ten fingers, and a silver-white spatial barrier quickly enveloped the place where the two of them were. She did not reveal her true cultivation of the Void Emanation Realm, but only maintained the outer protection at the level of the Eternal Silence Realm, completely isolating the fire waves that the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal had not covered.
On the other side, Ju Zhongying's expression suddenly darkened, and he abruptly clasped his hands together, causing nine layers of mountain-like Dao patterns to rise in front of him. "Mystic Peak Heaven-Protecting Wall!"
A deafening roar followed as countless fiery meteors rained down from the sky.
The Boundless Realm was the first to collide head-on with the World Extinguisher fire tide. The crimson-gold flames quickly lost their source support after rushing into it, and the enormous fire meteors dimmed layer by layer from the outside in, eventually disintegrating into countless scorching fragments. The remaining impact crossed the edge of the Boundless Realm and bombarded the spatial barrier that Chi Xiyue had condensed and Ju Zhongying's nine-layered mountain range, causing the nearby mountains to collapse one after another, and billions of fragments of rock, carrying flames, shot into the sky.
As the raging sea of fire slowly receded, the Supreme Eternal Stillness Seal returned to Qin Yu's palm. Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue stood side by side atop the scorched mountain ridge, their auras still concealed, their gazes coldly fixed on the three-headed beast ahead, neither taking a single step closer to Ju Zhongying.
The sea of fire slowly subsided, and the massive, mountain-like body of the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord rose once more from the shattered forest, its three pairs of crimson beast eyes fixed intently on Ju Zhongying.
A deep, gloomy look flashed across Ju Zhongying's eyes, and the next instant, his figure suddenly blurred.
Ripples spread across the void beneath his feet, and in an instant, he teleported to Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue's side. His black robes fluttered wildly, and the gentleness he had been deliberately feigning vanished, replaced by the overwhelming aura of the Eternal Silence Realm · Supreme. His words carried the cold, unyielding authority of a superior.
"What are you still standing here for?" He turned his head to look at the two of them, his tone revealing displeasure.
"This is the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord. Even if I were to suppress and kill him alone, it would still deplete my own essence. You have been ordered by the Chi Lineage to escort the secret scroll here. You should be aware of your heavy responsibility and quickly join forces with me to eliminate this scourge!"
Qin Yu and Chi Xiyue remained calm, their gazes fixed on the ancient behemoth in the distance. Just then, the Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord suddenly ceased his roar.
The three enormous beast heads slowly lowered, and the raging flames in the six crimson-gold beast eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep and chilling cold. A deep sound, like the collapse of an ancient mountain, directly shook the entire world. "You two, the cause and effect here has nothing to do with you. Leave immediately." Qin Yu Chi Xiyue's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Myriad Beasts Origin Dao Lord took a step forward, and the immense pressure caused the Heavenly Desert Ancient Forest to tremble continuously.
"This person trespassed into my territory, slaughtered my people, plundered the life essence of my young beasts, and attempted to use my bloodline to refine his own inner demons. Today, I will only kill this scoundrel, without harming anyone else."
Upon hearing these words, Ju Zhongying's face instantly darkened to an extreme degree. He never expected that this ferocious beast would expose his secret plot in public.
"You beast! How dare you slander me out of thin air, you mere wild animal?" Ju Zhongying turned around abruptly, his eyes surging with murderous intent. He then looked at Qin Yu and the other two again, his tone suddenly turning icy cold.
"Youngsters! What are you trying to do? As messengers sent by the Chi Lineage to deliver the secret documents, you should obey the orders of your contact! You watched me fight with the ferocious beast and stood by coldly. Have you forgotten the rules of the Chi Lineage? Or do you simply not take the Ju Lineage seriously?"
At the end of his words, there was an undisguised sense of coercion. Qin Yu's eyes were calm, Chi Xiyue's expression was indifferent. Neither of them answered, but they quickly exchanged a glance.
