After the sky to the south and the four directions of the heavens were all cracked open, the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard fell into a moment of deathly silence.
The gazes of countless cultivators all turned to the south, where the once peaceful void was gradually losing its color. The radiance flowing between heaven and earth slowly dimmed, and the spatial order underwent a strange displacement. The countless Daoist patterns that flowed across the sky all froze and hovered whenever they approached that area. It was as if all the laws and principles of the world instinctively did not want to touch the being that was about to arrive.
Boom! A deafening roar, deep enough to penetrate to the bone, swept across every corner of the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, and the void to the south cracked open.
This is no ordinary spatial breach caused by a battle. When space collapses, even if it is broken, the space itself still exists. But this rift seems to have forcibly lifted a corner of something far more ancient than the heavens and the ages.
The fissure keeps collapsing inward. There is no dark abyss, no dazzling divine light, no color that can be defined or described. There is only a state of "cracking", which is eternally playing out, always happening, but will never truly be completed.
Many cultivators with shallow cultivation only caught a fleeting glimpse before their consciousness went blank. In an instant, they forgot why they had looked up and could not recall the strange phenomenon they had just witnessed. Some even turned pale and staggered backward, horrified to discover that parts of their memories deep within their minds were gradually becoming hazy and blurred, slowly eroded by an invisible force.
On the high platform, the four judges all looked solemn. Nalan Yanqing slowly stood up, her clear eyes gazing at the southern sky. This was the first time since the start of the conference that she had shown such heartfelt seriousness.
"Boundless Abyss Huang..."
She uttered those three words softly. As soon as the words left her lips, her brows furrowed slightly. The three words seemed to distort for a moment as they landed in the air, as if the name itself resisted being fully spoken or transmitted by all living beings.
Xuanyuan Canglan stood tall and imposing, his gaze fixed on the collapsing void, and slowly uttered, "The Ju Family's Ultimate Beast Radiance: Wuming Radiance."
Murong Yunche remained silent, his gaze fixed on the strange phenomenon in the sky. Even the usually composed Nangong Xingyun lost his nonchalant demeanor and became solemn.
All four understood that the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang, had long transcended the scope of ordinary clan-protecting combat power; it was a symbol of the Dao Source that had allowed a Lineage to be rooted for eternity.
... The next instant, a figure slowly stepped out from the ever-shrinking crack.
The one who took human form was a tall, slender young man. He wore a plain white robe that draped over his body, with streaks of blood-red patterns along the edges of the hem, like bright red ink stains on snow-white rice paper. His long, black hair was loose behind him, with a few strands floating gently in the dark currents of the void.
His face was exceptionally handsome, and his brows and eyes were filled with an unyielding sense of peace and indifference. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, revealing no trace of joy or anger, yet they also held the ancient chill that had settled after countless eras of change and destruction.
He held a folding fan lightly in his hand; the fan surface was plain white, without a single pattern or design. But the moment his five fingers gripped the handle, fine ripples spread through the surrounding void. It wasn't a force being released or impacted outwards, but rather his very existence that compelled everything around him to reaffirm its own legitimacy.
He took only one step, and no overwhelming pressure swept over it, nor did any extraordinary phenomenon of the sun and moon being reversed occur. Yet, in an instant, the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard fell into complete silence.
An indescribable sense of oppression rose in the hearts of countless cultivators. This had nothing to do with cultivation level; it was a tremor that arose instinctively from the very essence of life. What they saw before them did not seem like a living being of this world, but rather like an Ultimate answer that transcended all living beings and had been refined over countless years.
This is the ultimate beast of the Ju Lineage's Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang — the Boundless Abyss Huang.
The elegant human form it appears in at this moment is merely an external shell conjured to fit the laws of this world. Its true form is that ever-collapsed, thicknessless void rift.
... Boom!!! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the world behind Boundless Abyss Huang suddenly fell into complete darkness.
A colossal, primordial form, beyond description, slowly rose from the void.
It has no appearance of a worldly behemoth, no scales, no sharp claws, no ferocious head, and not even a complete outline can be captured. It is more like a void rift that runs through the long river of eternity, a gray abyss that never ends and keeps closing inward.
It stands there, yet it seems to Does Not Exist in no spacetime coordinates. Layer upon layer of space collapses behind it, and even the concept of "collapse" is eliminated.
A faint gray mist emanated from the edge of the Dharma image, slowly spreading outwards. Wherever the gray mist passed, the void did not shatter, and time did not stop, but all the established definitions of space, time, and distance gradually lost their effectiveness.
This is the fundamental Dharma form of the Boundless Abyss Huang — the Rift of Boundless Abyss, the Ultimate nothingness after all possibilities have been exhausted, where even "exhaustion" itself ceases to exist.
Within the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, countless cultivators held their breath, their minds trembling. Only now did they truly understand why the Lineage revered it as the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang.
What they protect is not just the rise and fall of a race, but a great path leading to a higher level of existence.
Within the Hua Lineage camp, Hua Yin's expression grew increasingly gloomy and unpleasant. He gazed at the illusory image of the Dharma in the southern sky, a myriad of complex emotions flashing across his eyes. Even with a heart full of resentment, he had to admit that Boundless Abyss Huang's level had already exceeded the limits that most cultivators could comprehend.
In the distance, at the Chi Lineage camp, Qin Yu gazed silently at the enormous phantom spreading across the sky, a subtle change flickering in his eyes. Deep within his Fate Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram quietly activated. He showed no alarm or fear, his mind calm as he silently analyzed the existence logic of this Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang.
In the southern sky, the Boundless Abyss Huang stood Ji Ran, its form, a void rift spanning countless ages, suspended in the sky. The pervasive gray emptiness seemed to have stripped away all definitions of heaven and earth, leaving the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard still shrouded in an ancient, Ji Ran silence. The minds of all beings trembled, still unable to recover from the Ultimate void's Daoist aura.
At that moment, the northern sky trembled violently. Boom--!!! This thunderclap was completely different from the Annihilation sound of Boundless Abyss Huang's descent into the world just now.
The Rift of Boundless Abyss is the annihilation of everything, returning to nothingness; while the surging Daoist rhythm in the north at this moment is the convergence of countless trajectories, with the endless future descending upon the mortal realm in an instant. The void, tainted by the Wudao, suddenly becomes chaotic, with one layer of space superimposing countless phantoms, and a rift evolving into countless forms.
The world seems to be repeatedly rehearsed and rearranged by an invisible hand.
The eyes of countless cultivators below the stage narrowed sharply, their minds reeling. The scene before them was bizarre and indescribable; several illusory images of themselves simultaneously appeared in their vision: some stood motionless, some retreated hastily, some cried out in alarm, and some turned to leave. A myriad of postures and choices appeared in the world at the same time, without any distinction of order.
In an instant, all the illusory images vanished Wuhen, as if those myriad illusions had never existed in the world at all.
Within the Chi Lineage's camp, Chi Boqian slowly stood up.
This powerful expert at the Wuji Realm Chi Lineage for many years, was usually as Steady as a Mountain, but at this moment, his brows were filled with sincere respect. His eyes were fixed on the northern sky, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Everyone in the world knows that what is about to appear is the Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang, the Myriad Evolutions, which will protect the Chi Lineage for eternity! Wanyan —!!!
The northern void stretched out layer by layer, cracking open one after another. Countless shimmering silver threads stretched down from the cracks in the sky, crisscrossing and covering the entire firmament.
This thread is neither forceful, nor illegal, nor irregular; it is the origin of all possibilities in the world since time immemorial. Each strand of silver is a "what if."
If the road ahead changes, if choices shift, if laws and principles change, if fate takes a turn. The infinite variables of heaven and earth, the endless branches of time, all the unfulfilled opportunities and unformed destinies of all things are condensed within these countless silver threads.
Countless "ifs" intertwine and entwine, transforming into a Zhang Hao and boundless network of Source Dao.
This network Beginningless Endless, no boundaries and Boundless Realm, it is not divided into four directions, and it is not distinguished by time and space. What the naked eye can see is only a small part of the sky; but its true domain has long since covered the entire Myriad Worlds Graveyard and spanned countless ages.
Because possibilities are inherently boundless, unrestricted by distance or size, a figure leisurely steps out from the center of the web of possibilities.
He was a man in white robes with long, snow-white hair that danced in the wind, exuding an ancient and aloof air. His face was handsome and otherworldly, his eyes cold and clear as an abyss. His eyes seemed to see through the past and present, reflecting all the myriad futures of the world, yet also showing that all illusions did not linger.
The simple robe was ancient and solemn, with intricate and mysterious patterns. Each line was a trace of destiny in silent years, hidden and concealing the secrets of heaven.
He carried an ancient longsword on his back. The sword did not hum or reveal its sharpness, yet it possessed an aura that could suppress all things. Any hidden killing intent, unfinished attack, or potential danger directed at him would deflect and quietly disappear on its own.
With one step he landed, countless futures appeared in the world, and all divergent paths led back to the one true path.
Only now did all beings realize that the appearance of the peerless young master before them was merely a human form manifested by Wanyan Huang out of compassion for the shallow foundations of humanity, so that all beings could observe and interact with him.
The origin of Wanyan is not flesh and blood, but the very source of all possibilities. The ultimate beast of the Chi Lineage's Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang — Wanyan —has appeared in the world.
The next instant, the vast net of strings suddenly expanded and spread out to its Ultimate. Boom!!! The layers of heaven and earth opened up one after another, and an immeasurable primordial Dharma image completely manifested in the northern sky, shocking the entire scene.
It is still that same Source Dao String Network that spans time and space, every thread crystal clear, interwoven through eternity, connecting all the heavens. With each tremor of a string, a new world is born, a new timeline unfolds, and a completely different Great Dao takes shape.
Within the Myriad Worlds Graveyard, the minds of millions of cultivators were completely drawn in, their seas of consciousness suspended in mid-air, plunging into a boundless sea of possibilities.
In a daze, everyone saw their myriad selves: some ascended to the highest peak, their might shaking the heavens; some lived ordinary lives, fading into the crowd; some Dao Path, defying fate; some were never born, returning to nothingness.
All kinds of lives, all kinds of endings, are vivid in my mind and clear in my senses, yet all the illusory figures and faces are blurred, without a single one of them being truly fixed.
The Wanyan Great Dao of Myriad Evolutions encompasses all opportunities and accommodates all changes, but it absolutely forbids any fixed form or solidification. Once the trajectory is determined and the form is fixed, the possibilities will be bound by the definition, thus limiting them and preventing them from infinitely evolving. It will no longer be the Wanyan Great Dao.
On the high platform, the four referees were all shocked and remained silent for a long time.
Nalan Yanqing's eyes trembled, and he sighed softly, "This is the source of infinite possibilities, the root from which all paths originate."
Xuanyuan Canglan exhaled a long breath, his expression solemn. "The rumors are true. Wanyan Huang's Dao Path is far closer to the origin of the Void Emanation Great Dao than the world imagines."
Nangong Xingyun gazed at the heavens, speaking slowly and deliberately, "It never actively creates the future, but merely grants all futures the opportunity to exist. All the myriad mechanisms of the heavens can arise and generate on their own."
Off the field, the crowd erupted in jubilation.
The Boundless Abyss Huang brought a profound awe of Annihilation and nothingness; while the Wanyan Huang brought a vast and awe-inspiring opening of all paths. At this moment, the world finally understood that the Ultimate beasts of the Lineage were not ordinary guardian beasts, but the embodiment of the Great Dao rooted in all heavens and spanning all ages.
"This is the Chi Lineage's Wanyan Huang! Evolving through countless ages, his transformations are boundless!" "A single breath can create myriad worlds, a single thought can generate countless possibilities. To witness this today, I have no regrets in this life!"
Countless cultivators were deeply moved, their tears welling up. Such a magnificent scene of the Great Dao was a rare sight, occurring only once every ten thousand years in ordinary times. To witness it firsthand was an unparalleled opportunity.
All the young members of the Chi Lineage stood solemnly, with Chi Junxuan, Chi Yufeng, Chi Yi'an, and Chi Mulin filled with Ultimate awe. Even though they had reached Eternal Silence and looked down upon their peers, they were still as insignificant as dust before such an ancient Dao Source.
Qin Yu stood calmly amidst the crowd.
He raised his eyes and gazed at the boundless net of strings in the northern sky. Deep within his Fate Soul, the Silent Beginning Ring Master Soul Diagram quietly rotated, neither startled nor arrogant, silently analyzing this unparalleled path of evolution.
In a moment, a deep and solemn look flashed across Qin Yu's eyes. He had already thoroughly understood the Ultimate opposition between the two great paths. The Ju Lineage's Boundless Abyss Huang followed the path of Return to the Ruins, the Ultimate end after all opportunities had been exhausted and all laws had returned to nothingness.
Chi Lineage Wanyan Huang walks the path of open source, the original starting point where all opportunities arise and all paths begin, where all uncertainties emerge, a beginning and an end, a life and a solitude.
The two great paths were completely opposite, yet both touched upon the most profound and fundamental principles of existence in the Void Emanation Realm. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two ancient figures, Boundless Abyss Huang in the South and Wanyan Huang in the North, slowly took their seats, their auras subdued and no longer ostentatious.
However, increasingly violent rumbling came from the east and west sky, and the power of heaven and earth rose layer by layer, causing the entire secret realm to tremble slightly. The remaining two Source Dao Ultimate Beast Huang were about to descend into the world.
