The fourth person took a step into the air and ascended into the sky, his palms striking down in a continuous barrage. One after another, the True Annihilation Giant Palms stretched across the forest and crushed down. Before the palm prints even landed, the ground a hundred feet around Chi Qingyue had already sunk and caved in, with earth and rocks collapsing and the force of the impact immense.
The fifth person gripped a long, narrow, dark blade, his figure flashing and shifting rapidly through the forest, leaving behind a lifelike afterimage with each appearance. In an instant, dozens of afterimages simultaneously materialized into blades, locking onto the landing point of Chi Qingyue's Fate Soul from all directions, and slashing down at the same time, sealing off all escape routes.
The last person sat cross-legged in mid-air, his hands forming a desolate and ancient annihilation seal. A deathly, gray-white domain of death rapidly spread out from beneath him, and wherever it passed, the laws of life and death of heaven and earth dimmed, withered, and fell silent, pressing straight down towards Chi Qingyue's feet.
The six supreme killing techniques combined and formed a barrier in an instant, locking down all directions.
For the first time Chi Qingyue's expression turned completely cold. She gripped her divine weapon tightly with her five fingers, unleashing the Fate Soul essence of True Annihilation Realm · Advanced Stage cultivator without reservation, facing the deadly situation head-on. She took the lead in wielding her weapon and slashing, the sharp sword edge directly clashing with the oncoming black spear.
Clang!!! The sound of metal clashing reverberated through the forest, and a terrifying shockwave surged from her wrist to her shoulder and back, instantly numbing her entire arm and causing her blood to surge.
Before she could catch her breath, layers upon layers of True Annihilation Palm prints were already crushing down from above. She had no choice but to forcefully spin around and retreat, but the pale chains behind her instantly blocked her retreat, and the gray-white death zone beneath her feet eroded and bound her body step by step.
She swung her sword with all her might, severing several approaching chains, but countless shadowy blades suddenly attacked from the side. A sharp and incomparably piercing True Annihilation Force grazed her shoulder, tearing her robes in an instant, and a trickle of bright red blood slowly slid down her fair arm.
"Qingyue..." Su Qingyuan, who had collapsed in the distance, barely raised her head. Her clear eyes were instantly filled with anxiety and worry, but she was too badly injured to come to her aid.
Shen Qingchen tried to get up, his broken body straining against the wall, but a tearing pain suddenly erupted from the depths of his Fate Soul, leaving him completely powerless. He could only watch helplessly as the six deadly divine powers merged completely, engulfing Chi Qingyue.
Just as Chi Qingyue managed to steady her swaying figure, the six True Annihilation Realm · Peak cultivators had already simultaneously unleashed their full power, pushing their divine abilities to their peak for a deadly strike.
Boom!!!
The massive True Annihilation Ancient Disc crashed down, and six terrifying forces—black spears, pale chains, stacks of palm prints, countless dark blade remnants, and a deathly gray-white domain—converged instantly, completely engulfing the entire area where Chi Qingyue stood.
The violent primal impact exploded outwards, causing hundreds of towering ancient trees to tremble and their branches to fly wildly. The earth, along the center where the six attacks converged, was covered with dense, crisscrossing cracks. The life patterns that were originally layered and flowing in the sky were also forcibly torn apart and scattered by this domineering force.
The six masked cultivators stared intently at the central chaotic area, their hearts filled with unwavering certainty. Under the relentless combined attack of these six True Annihilation Realm · Peak experts, there was absolutely no chance that a True Annihilation Realm · Advanced Stage cultivator could survive.
But the next instant—the six people's faces all turned pale. In the center of the chaos that had been completely submerged by the Six Paths True Annihilation and Killing, a bright red spot suddenly appeared. The spot of light was extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice. In the aftershocks of the dark and silent supernatural power, it was shockingly conspicuous. Then, that bright red spot suddenly exploded and bloomed from the deepest part of Chi Qingyue's Fate Soul.
A powerful, ancient Daoist sound, Transcendence Realm and stretching back through the ages, resounded from the depths of her body.
The great forces of heaven and earth remained unmoved, and the mountains, rivers, forests, and seas did not tremble. Yet, within the Azure Wood Divine Forest, all the laws of the Great Dao that were flowing, wandering, and alternating stopped and became still in that instant.
The next instant, a cold, supreme shout, carrying the majesty of an ancient order, resounded throughout the entire northern forest! "Get out!!!" The single word landed, its authority dominating the world.
The deadly divine abilities unleashed by the six True Annihilation Realm · Peak cultivators all froze in mid-air.
The sharp, black spear hovered motionless, the life-binding, pale chains froze around its body, the crushing palm prints could no longer fall even half an inch, the afterimages of the dark blades that swept across the sky all froze, and even the True Annihilation Ancient Disc that suppressed the Fate Soul trembled violently and its laws stopped.
All the killing power in the world was forcibly imprisoned by a supreme authority of order. Immediately afterward, a majestic and enormous phantom slowly materialized behind Chi Qingyue.
At first, it was just a condensed, bright red outline, hazy and boundless, surpassing all things. As the light and shadow continued to settle and solidify, an ancient being, whose true form was obscured and whose aura was timeless and profound, stood quietly behind the girl.
This illusory figure released not a trace of killing intent, nor did it raise a hand to activate any divine power, yet all the chaotic laws, disordered space, tangled Dao patterns, unbalanced vitality, and annihilation in the northern part of the Azure Wood Divine Forest...
Everything returned to its original order and became orderly. The chaotic void was smoothed out again, the intertwined Dao patterns ceased their agitation, and even the causal trajectory disrupted by the six people's supernatural powers was briefly stilled and returned to peace at this moment.
The masked man in golden robes, who had been watching coldly from afar, vanished his gloomy and cold expression the moment he saw the illusory figure clearly.
His pupils suddenly dilated to the Ultimate, his eyes filled with panic, horror, and disbelief. His body involuntarily took a step back, and for the first time, his usually stable aura became completely disordered.
"No... it's impossible..."
His throat trembled slightly, his voice dry and broken, filled with fear. He had only seen vague and incomplete records of this supreme phantom in a few ancient scrolls of the Primordial Dao Clan. Even the clan's top elders were not qualified to touch upon the rumors about such an existence.
The golden-robed man stared intently at the ancient phantom, a monstrous wave of terror surging within him, unable to suppress his Ultimate fear. "That afterimage... could it be the Lord of the Great Dao Charter...?"
His eyes trembled violently, and he blurted out in a trembling voice, "She... she could be..." Before he could finish his thought, the ancient and enormous phantom slowly lowered its eyes and looked down at Chi Qingyue in front of it.
Without uttering a sound, yet possessing supreme majesty that commanded the submission of all laws and the obedience of all heavens, the entire illusory figure transformed into an Ultimate, crimson beam of light in the next instant, crashing into Chi Qingyue's body and completely merging with her bloodline Fate Soul.
Boom!!! In an instant, the deepest part of Chi Qingyue's bloodline boiled completely, and the ancient ancestral source awakened and surged. A thin golden mark suddenly cracked open in the center of her brow, and an ancient seal character, simple and vast, bearing the order of the heavens, slowly emerged from the depths of her bloodline origin.
The brilliant golden light slowly spread from between his brows to his limbs and bones, permeating his meridians and cleansing his Fate Soul.
Chi Qingyue slowly raised her head, and her originally clear and gentle eyes underwent a complete transformation. Her pupils disappeared without a trace, and her eyes turned into a pure and flawless white chaos, encompassing yin and yang and all laws. There was no violent primal force surging and raging around her, but countless intricate and ancient law patterns manifested and unfolded in the world on their own.
Yin and Yang, life and death, time and order, space, cause and effect, life, annihilation... One after another, the fundamental paths that traverse all realms emerge from the depths of nothingness, arranged in parallel, flowing slowly and orderly around her.
The faces of the six masked cultivators turned deathly pale, their minds reeling. They could clearly sense that those transcendent, supreme Dao patterns were watching them, scrutinizing their entire existence and Dao foundation.
What awakened within Chi Qingyue was the ancient ancestral bloodline of the lineage of the Lord of the Great Dao Charter.
That supreme being, who has traversed countless ages and whose existence is recorded in the secrets of the heavens, is hailed as the Father of Heavenly Laws, the Source of Order, and the Unassailable Sovereign of the Myriad Realms, who holds the original constitution and rules of heaven and earth.
The principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, the order of Yin and Yang transformation, the rules governing the boundary between life and death, and the laws of cause and effect and reincarnation—the fundamental order of all the great principles in the world—all originate from the constant laws that it established itself.
Reincarnation can save all beings from going through cycles of rebirth, and cause and effect can determine the rise and fall of all karma. But why does reincarnation cycle and cause and effect continue? The underlying rules and Ultimate basis of all things are all contained in that Charter of the Myriad Realms that transcends all heavens.
Chi Qingyue was not the supreme ancient being herself, but today, a wisp of ancestral power that had been dormant for countless ages and sealed away within her bloodline has finally been fully awakened and manifested in the world.
She slowly raised her fair and slender right hand, and the ancient seal character "waste" between her eyebrows was filled with golden light, dazzling and solemn. Countless finely intertwined golden chains of laws suddenly appeared in the bodies of the six ultimate cultivators of the True Annihilation Realm.
These chains did not come from the outside, but were already rooted deep within their Fate Soul and foundation.
Every cultivator, through practicing the Great Dao, refining their Fate Soul, breaking through realms, and wielding supernatural powers, will establish a bond with the laws of heaven and earth, leaving a clear "entry point" in the order of all realms. The deeper their cultivation and the thicker their foundation, the more firmly they are bound to the order of heaven and earth.
At this moment, all traces of their existence, foundational entries, and Fate Soul roots left behind by their lifelong cultivation were forcibly manifested and exposed without reservation by the power of the Supreme Charter.
Chi Qingyue's pure white, ethereal eyes slowly swept over the six people, and her supreme Daoist voice softly rang out. "Bloodline Divine Power - The Final Abolition and Establishment." She pressed her palm down gently.
"Imperial Edict." With this single word, all laws obeyed, and the world fell Ji Ran, without a single sound. The terror on the faces of the six True Annihilation Realm · Peak cultivators froze instantly, and the golden chains of law binding their bodies tightened abruptly, digging into the deepest part of their Fate Soul foundation.
