Nalan Yanqing's eyes were clear as he slowly spoke, "Their paths are completely opposite. Shangguan Haoqian follows the Dao of Fixed Order, stabilizing all laws, regulating the universe, and upholding the existing laws of heaven and earth."
Xuanyuan Canglan nodded slightly, his voice like thunder. "Ju Mohan's Annihilation Structure Great Dao is even more domineering, tracing back to the origin, dismantling and reconstructing, subverting the rules of heaven and earth from the very foundation."
Murong Yunche sighed softly, "Their Dao Path are opposite, their strengths are evenly matched, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short time."
Nangong Xingyun gazed at the arena, his star-patterned eyes piercing through all illusions. He spoke calmly, "Supernatural powers are merely appearances. The outcome of this battle ultimately depends on whose Source Dao foundation is more complete, and whose Dao foundation is more profound."
Qin Yu stood motionless amidst the crowd in the square.
To outsiders, all they could see was the outward appearance of two prodigies locked in a stalemate, their divine powers seemingly evenly matched. But he possessed the Ring Master Soul Diagram the Silent Beginning Ring, and his eyes could pierce through to the very source and glimpse the root of the Dao.
He clearly saw the Origin Framework of the two people's interaction, and saw through the deepest operating logic and the foundation of their game between the two great paths.
After a moment of focused gaze, a strange glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes. "Just as I thought." His voice was so soft that it was swallowed by the surrounding wind and no one heard it.
On the surface, the two are evenly matched in terms of cultivation level and supernatural abilities, with their offense and defense in balance, seemingly neck and neck. However, upon closer examination, the difference in their true strengths and weaknesses is hidden.
Shangguan Haoqian's Myriad Phenomena Order Fixing relies on the established and complete rules of the world. Its origin is stable and its laws are strict. Every bit of power has been tempered and refined through Lineage inheritance, making it impeccable. However, it is ultimately trapped within the existing order of heaven and earth.
Ju Mohan is completely different.
Every surge of his Dao power analyzed the structure of his opponent's rules; every collision of the Great Dao explored the weaknesses and flaws in his opponent's Dao foundation. His Annihilation-Construct Logic was extremely profound, touching upon the Primordial Origin before the birth of rules, transcending the shackles of existing laws of heaven and earth.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind already certain of the outcome.
"Ju Mohan's Origin Framework have already touched upon the Dao principles of the Mystic Void Realm."
His path transcends existing rules.
One person seeks victory within the rules, while the other breaks the deadlock outside the rules.
The difference in their abilities was predetermined.
Qin Yu slowly narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself: Ju Mohan is far more terrifying and profound than he appears.
At this very moment, in the center of the arena! Two extremely opposing forces of Dao simultaneously surged wildly! The golden, ordered celestial light blazed brightly, while the pitch-black, Annihilation Structure tide overwhelmed the heavens. A new round of the Great Dao's deadly battle was about to begin!
On the arena, the battle between Shangguan Haoqian and Ju Mohan had long transcended the scope of ordinary battles between cultivators in the Eternal Silence Realm. Every collision of their Dao power was shaking the Origin Framework of the surrounding world.
The golden, ordered divine light and the pitch-black, Annihilation Structure power intertwined and tore at each other, causing countless spatial cracks to spread across the void of the entire arena. Shangguan Haoqian stood in the center of the golden sea of light, his brows slowly furrowing, and for the first time, a deep and solemn look appeared in his eyes.
He keenly sensed that the Myriad Phenomena Order Fixing upon which he relied was being dissected and thoroughly understood by the other party, Ju Mohan's power of Annihilation Structure did not brutally destroy the rules he had constructed.
Instead, after each exchange, he slowly dismantled, deduced, and reassembled the origin of his Dao patterns, as if every thread of his primordial energy was exposed to Ju Mohan's scrutiny, leaving no secrets whatsoever. "So that's how it is..."
Shangguan Haoqian murmured to himself, "Your Annihilation Structure Great Dao can actually reverse-engineer and analyze the origin of my Dao." Ju Mohan stood silently within the dark tide of origin, his expression indifferent and unwavering. "All laws of heaven and earth have their own structure." "The more perfect your rules are, the clearer the Dao traces they leave behind." "Anything with a structure cannot escape being dismantled and reshaped."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haoqian's eyes suddenly turned cold. In the next instant, his aura underwent a dramatic change. His originally restrained and gentle Fate Soul essence instantly sank, generating an endless abyss of profound pressure. Boom!!! An ancient silk scroll slowly emerged from the void.
This scroll is boundless and has no clear boundaries. The moment it unfolds, the void around the arena ripples with an ink-wash-like mist, the heavens and earth lose their inherent colors, and the entire space is like an endless scroll, slowly unfurled by an invisible force.
Shangguan Haoqian raised his hand, holding up the ancient scroll, his deep voice resonating throughout the surroundings. "Since you can decipher my rules," he said, "Then I will make you face a world I have personally redrawn." "The Stillness Scroll: Myriad Forms Return to the Abyss!" Boom!
The ancient scroll unfurled completely, and a grayish-white glow instantly engulfed the entire arena territory. The boundaries between heaven and earth became blurred and hazy, and the stable and immortal space seemed to be slowly smoothed out by an invisible giant hand.
Mountains, air currents, light and shadow—all things were undergoing a fundamental transformation. Countless cultivators in the spectator stands trembled, clearly witnessing a terrifying scene: everything on the arena was being stripped away from the mortal world.
A wisp of primordial energy transformed into ink marks, a spatial rift transformed into lines on a painting, and even the Annihilation Structure power flowing around Ju Mohan was slowly absorbed by the Stillness Scroll, gradually condensing into gray Dao patterns on the painting.
Shangguan Haoqian's fingertips swept across the air, and a silver-gray light flashed, simultaneously outlining a deep ink line on the scroll. In an instant, the arena's terrain completely changed.
The flat ground transformed into an endless gray wasteland, all the original primordial energy flowing between heaven and earth vanished, the flow of time shifted arbitrarily, and space folded and twisted layer by layer. The entire arena had become a scroll in Shangguan Haoqian's palm, and everything was defined by his brushstrokes.
From the stands, gasps of astonishment rose and fell. "This is the Shangguan Lineage's most treasured secret technique?" "It can directly alter the very foundation of the present world!" "This isn't just controlling heaven and earth, it's creating a new world out of thin air!"
However, facing the slowly collapsing Stillness Scroll Domain, Ju Mohan did not retreat even half a step. He stood within the ever-changing scroll world, with everything around him being transformed and assimilated. The ground beneath his feet turned into ink, the void behind him turned into Xuan paper, and even the edges of his clothes were covered with faint gray-white lines. Yet, his eyes remained calm and serene.
The next instant, Ju Mohan slowly raised his hand, and a pitch-black primordial mark slowly rose from his palm. "Annihilation Structure." The word fell. Boom!!! The entire scroll world trembled violently. This was not a collapse of the void, but rather the structure of this forcibly drawn scroll world began to disintegrate and loosen.
Behind Ju Mohan, the Annihilation Structure Domain unfolded in full. This was a primordial void that was constantly being reorganized, Does Not Exist constant laws of heaven and earth. Every breath, new laws were born; every breath, old origins returned to nothingness.
Mountains and rivers suddenly appeared, only to disintegrate in an instant; long rivers formed out of thin air, then instantly transformed into primordial particles; the sky tore open, only to coalesce and reshape itself once more.
The entire domain was like a primordial furnace that evolved and dismantled all things. The Primordial Annihilation Structure Domain, now in the present world! Boom!!! The Stillness Scroll Painted World and the Primordial Annihilation Structure Domain collided head-on, and the entire arena became a contest between two supreme paths. On one side, Shangguan Haoqian was doing his best to depict all things in the present world into a painting, wielding the power to define heaven and earth;
On the other side, Ju Mohan continued to dissect the underlying structure of the scroll, subverting the established order of brush and ink. Within the Stillness Scroll, Shangguan Haoqian once again wielded his brush. "Here, space folds!"
In an instant, dozens of layers of space overlapped and sealed off, compressing the world around Ju Mohan inwards. Yet, Ju Mohan merely extended his palm, the power of Annihilation Structure flowing surging from his hand. "Space is constructed by structure." "Structure can be reconstructed."
Before the words were even finished, the layers of interlayered space collapsed completely, turning into countless black primordial particles that rearranged themselves once more. The spatial cage originally used to imprison Ju Mohan instead became part of the Annihilation Structure Domain.
Shangguan Haoqian's expression changed drastically. "You... you can even disassemble and reconstruct my Stillness Scroll Painted World?" Ju Mohan raised his eyes to look at him, his tone calm, yet containing the certainty of the Great Dao. "Your painting scroll transforms the present world into a landscape of ink and brush." "My Great Dao determines what Origin Framework the landscape."
Boom!!! As soon as the words fell, the Primordial Annihilation Structure Domain expanded outward once more.
The territories that had been depicted in the Stillness Scroll began to shift, and the ink traces of mountains and rivers were constantly being reorganized. The established rules belonging to Shangguan Haoqian were being dismantled and replaced layer by layer by Ju Mohan.
The two prodigies' power has now truly entered the stage of a battle at the fundamental level. In the distance, Qin Yu quietly gazes at the battlefield, his expression growing increasingly solemn. Others can only see the two divine domains clashing fiercely, evenly matched.
However, relying on the Silent Beginning - Ring of Silent Annihilation Soul Diagram, he was able to glimpse the most fundamental game of origin. Shangguan Haoqian's Stillness Scroll: Myriad Forms Return to the Abyss is vast in power, capable of distorting reality, covering all existence, and redefining the order of a world.
However, Ju Mohan's Annihilation Structure Great Dao is closer to the origin of all things. He did not directly confront the power of the Stillness Scroll, but instead pursued the foundation of the Stillness Scroll's formation and analyzed the underlying logic of constructing the scroll.
Qin Yu slowly narrowed his eyes, understanding dawning on him. "Shangguan Haoqian's power is to inscribe heaven and earth into a painting." "And Ju Mohan... wields the fundamental foundation that constructs heaven and earth."
At the center of the arena, two completely opposing Great Daos continued to clash wildly. One wielded power over all phenomena, his brushstrokes determining the fate of the world; the other reconstructed all things, tracing their origins to break all laws. Within the Flourishing Age Square, all cultivators were shaken by this duel. Everyone knew that this battle had long surpassed a simple contest of victory or defeat; it was the Ultimate clash between two unparalleled geniuses, each targeting the essence of the Great Dao.
