In the center of the arena, the Dao principles resounded incessantly.
Shangguan Hao stood at the core of the gray-white scroll, clearly sensing that Ju Mohan's Annihilation Structure origin was eroding and analyzing his own Dao of the Stillness Scroll layer by layer. The originally stable myriad phenomena Order Adjudication was constantly loosening and deconstructing. The solemnity in his eyes grew deeper and deeper, and his mind was in constant turmoil.
As the most outstanding prodigy of the Shangguan Lineage Lineage in this generation, bearing the ancient and profound Stillness Scroll of the family and wielding the power to Order Adjudication of all things Return to the Abyss, he would never allow his own Dao Path to be completely suppressed by his contemporaries, nor would he allow the rules of heaven and earth that he had cultivated throughout his life to be overturned by the origin of others.
Once the decision was made, his gaze suddenly sharpened like a blade, his dormant Fate Soul essence was suddenly revived, and the ancient Stillness Scroll floating in his palm suddenly unfurled, its boundless pages spreading outwards.
Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!
The dull Daoist chant reverberated throughout the Flourishing Age Square, violently distorting the order of light and shadow across the entire world. The Stillness Scroll Domain, which originally only covered the arena, began to extend infinitely, expanding layer by layer.
One zhang, one hundred zhang, one thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang...
A gray-white scroll-like canopy covered the sky, sweeping out from around Shangguan Haoqian and completely engulfing the entire arena. Even the void beyond the arena took on a gray-white texture like rice paper, forcibly incorporated into the realm of painting.
All things in the world are in constant flux. The sky loses its original color, the flowing clouds condense into faint ink traces, the void solidifies into ancient pages, and the vast Source Power flowing through the world is all condensed into a surging river of ink, flowing slowly through the painted world.
In the eyes of all the spectators, the entire arena had been stripped of its mortal dimension, transforming into a boundless, ink-wash primordial world, where everything was a creation of the brush.
On the high platform, Nangong Xingyun's gaze suddenly sharpened, his voice resounding. "The Ultimate form of the Stillness Scroll, the Myriad Forms Return to the Abyss."
Nalan Yanqing's expression turned solemn as he continued, "This technique has long transcended the scope of domain coverage, no longer limited to rewriting a single world. It aims to transfer the entire arena territory, along with Ju Mohan's very existence and Dao foundation, into the Entering Stillness Scroll Order."
Boom!!!
The ancient scroll was fully unfurled, and Shangguan Haoqian stood at the core of the scroll, like the writer of heaven and earth holding the brush and ink. Behind him, billions of gray and white ink lines appeared, each line corresponding to a supreme law. Space overlapped, time flowed, life and death evolved, cause and effect were intertwined, and all the laws of existence in the world were governed by his brush.
He slowly raised his finger, a wisp of Annihilation light condensing at its tip, pointing towards the spot where Ju Mohan stood. "This world belongs to my Stillness Scroll." With those words, the Dao collapsed.
The entire arena trembled violently in the void, and the ground beneath Ju Mohan instantly turned to ink, becoming a canvas for the painting. The flowing essence around him solidified, and the rhythm of the world's operation was forcibly locked. Fine gray-white patterns quietly spread across the surface of his body, a sign that his existence in the mortal world was being forcibly transferred and incorporated into the alternate order.
Once the patterns cover his entire body, his existence will be completely detached from the mortal world, becoming a mere phantom of ink and brush within the Stillness Scroll. His Annihilation Structure Dao foundation, origin veins, and Fate Soul essence will be imprisoned, bound, and manipulated by Shangguan Haoqian's rules of Order Adjudication, leaving him with no possibility of autonomous evolution.
The thousands of spectators were utterly shaken, completely awestruck by this heaven-defying divine power. "This is the power of mortal substitution—it's terrifying!" "Once completely absorbed into the scroll, one's existence is defined by another, leaving no room for resistance!" "This is no longer a battle of supernatural abilities; it's a direct alteration of the very essence of existence!"
Amidst the overwhelming gray-white light, Ju Mohan's robes were completely soaked, his physical presence gradually faded, and his figure became increasingly ethereal, as if he might dissolve into this man-made world at any moment.
Yet his eyes remained clear and calm, without a trace of panic or fear. After a moment of silence, he slowly closed his eyes, raised one hand leisurely, and the ancient and boundless Source Dao energy awakened and rose from within his body.
"Since you dare to rewrite the present world," then I will personally reconstruct your heavenly book. Boom!!!
An ancient and boundless primordial pressure erupted with a deafening roar, sweeping across the eight wastelands with Annihilation Structure power far exceeding anything before. Ju Mohan's Primordial Annihilation Structure Domain, cultivated throughout his life, was completely perfected and descended at this moment!
Rumble!!! Heaven and earth were plunged into the Ultimate cycle of annihilation and rebirth, and the entire arena entered the Ultimate state of alternation between creation and Return to the Ruins. Countless primordial particles floated in the void, constantly disintegrating, recombining, evolving, and changing.
The ink-wash world forcibly transformed by Stillness Scroll has been given its most fundamental analysis. Every ink line, every Order Adjudication composition, and every inch of solidified worldly structure in Shangguan Haoqian's paintings is read, deeply analyzed, and dismantled Annihilation Structure Great Dao.
This is not a brutal destructive impact, but a deconstruction and reconstruction originating from the Primordial Origin, a subversion of the established order of brush and ink from the very foundation of heaven and earth.
Just as the battle of the Great Dao was at its most intense, Ju Mohan's palm flashed with spiritual light, and a supreme treasure slowly appeared in the world.
An ancient bronze square seal floated in the void, without inscription or pattern, except for a perpetually flowing primordial pattern on its surface, constantly being created and destroyed, endlessly cycling. As soon as this object appeared, the laws of heaven and earth in the entire square suddenly froze, all the flow of Source Power and the evolution of Dao rhythm ceased, and a vast and oppressive feeling originating from the Primordial chaos enveloped the entire area.
It is the Primordial Spirit Treasure passed down by the Ju Lineage — the Primordial Annihilation Origin Seal.
This treasure is not a weapon for killing or attacking, but rather the Ultimate aid to the Annihilation Structure Great Dao. It can stabilize the Source Dao foundation, trace the origin of the foundation of heaven and earth, analyze the structure of all laws, and amplify the holder's power of Annihilation Structure deduction to the Ultimate.
Ju Mohan held up a seal with one hand, and the spiritual treasure slowly hovered in the void behind him. Suddenly, a beam of azure primordial light burst forth, shooting straight into the sky. Boom!!!
The once stable and all-encompassing Stillness Scroll Painted World was instantly covered with fine cracks. Countless rules of brushstrokes violently trembled and teetered on the brink of collapse. Shangguan Haoqian's expression changed drastically for the first time, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Primordial Spirit Treasure... You actually possess such a magical treasure to protect yourself!!!"
Ju Mohan did not answer, but simply stepped forward. With each step, the origin of the void beneath his feet was reconstructed, and the layers of Stillness Scroll ink patterns collapsed.
"Your Stillness Scroll can rewrite the myriad phenomena of this world." "My Annihilation Structure can rebuild the foundations of this world." "Shangguan Haoqian, let's see today who can ultimately define this realm!"
Boom!!! The two Ultimate paths have now begun their Ultimate collision, and the entire arena has been completely transformed into a battlefield for the contest between the two lineages.
On one side, a gray-white curtain descends, Myriad Forms Return to the Abyss, all things are merely appendages of ink and brush, and all existence is defined by the Order Adjudication; on the other side, the Primordial Annihilation Structure boils, all things are dismantled and reconstructed, and all laws and principles return to their origin and are reshaped.
The ink-wash landscapes and shimmering light and shadows that emerge from the Stillness Scroll are instantly dismantled into the most primordial particles by the Annihilation Structure Domain as soon as they come within three feet of Ju Mohan, never to be reshaped again.
The Primordial Annihilation Origin Seal rotates ceaselessly. With each rotation, Ju Mohan's fundamental logic becomes more solid, and the Daoist rhyme he analyzes and reconstructs becomes more profound, constantly eroding and disintegrating the core foundation of the Stillness Scroll.
Shangguan Haoqian remained unyielding, his mind completely absorbed in the Stillness Scroll, his fingertips constantly moving the brush in mid-air. Each stroke was Ultimate extension of the principles of Order Adjudication, continuously repairing, reinforcing, and expanding the order of the painting world, fiercely competing with the Annihilation Structure Great Dao.
Both of them pushed their Fate Soul essence to its peak, and the battle of the Great Dao entered its most dangerous and intense stage. On the high platform, the four judges were all moved and their expressions were solemn.
Nalan Yanqing sighed softly, "The scale of this battle has long surpassed the scope of competition among the peerless geniuses of the Eternal Silence Realm of this generation."
Murong Yunche's gaze swept across, piercing through the essence of the Great Dao: "One person governs the manifestation of all things, defining their forms; the other governs the Origin Framework, creating the foundation of all things. The two have already touched upon the deepest, Ultimate mysteries of their Lineage's Dao tradition."
Xuanyuan Canglan nodded slightly, his voice filled with admiration. "The Shangguan Lineage's 'Myriad Forms Return to the Abyss' records all phenomena, preserves all laws, and establishes order; the Ju Lineage's 'Primordial Annihilation Structure' dismantles the origin, generates new life, and breaks shackles. Such an Ultimate clash of the Great Daos is a rare sight, occurring only once every few centuries."
Nangong Xingyun gazed silently at the arena, saying nothing, but the admiration in his eyes spoke volumes.
In the waiting area for the participating prodigies, Hua Jingmeng, who was usually indifferent, now had his eyes fixed on the arena battlefield, and his serene Stillness Dao aura fluctuated slightly. This was the first time since the start of the battle that he had put aside his contempt and his expression was completely serious.
All the other participating cultivators remained silent, their minds trembling. Previously, everyone thought that the final showdown of this grand event was already set, but now they realized that the real battle of the top geniuses had only just begun.
Deep within the crowd, Qin Yu stood motionless, his gaze fixed intently on Ju Mohan, the meaning in his eyes growing ever stronger.
In the instant of the Ultimate collision between the two great paths, he relied on his own Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram to glimpse the deepest origin. He was shocked to discover that Ju Mohan's Primordial Annihilation Structure Logic had an astonishing commonality with his own Dao Path —both were the Ultimate Dao Path to trace the origin of all things, analyze the structure of heaven and earth, and control the evolution of the origin.
Upon careful analysis and comparison, the differences become exceptionally clear. Ju Mohan's Annihilation Structure Great Dao is based on the existing origin of heaven and earth, dismantling the established structure and then reorganizing and recreating it. It is the Ultimate acquired method that reverses the order and reshapes all things.
His Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram transcends all established rules. It can read all laws, dismantle the origin, seal the Dao, redefine, and even directly tamper with the essence of the Fate Soul and fix its form of existence. It is the supreme innate Dao Path that touches the beginning of all things and defines the root of the Great Dao.
Qin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind clearing. "Ju Mohan's Annihilation Structure Great Dao has already touched the root of the world's laws." "But my Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram touches upon the Ultimate definition of the existence of all things."
He did not underestimate this opponent; on the contrary, he took him even more seriously. To have reached such a high level in his generation was already a peerless figure standing at the pinnacle of all geniuses.
Boom!!! In the center of the arena, the clash of Dao principles grew increasingly violent, and the primal waves swept across the heavens and earth. All eyes and minds of the entire Flourishing Age Square were focused on this place, and everyone was waiting for the final outcome, waiting for this Ultimate showdown that defined the world and competed for the Dao lineage to determine the final victor.
