All Four Swords Unleashed!
Beyond the realm, in the endless void.
Dead, lifeless stars, shattered fragments of the world, and the remains of unknown entities drift slowly like dust in this vast, despairing void, telling tales of eternal desolation and unknowable dangers.
A deep blue figure easily pierced through the pale golden boundary wall of the Xuanhuang Home Realm.
It was Qi Yun.
He changed into that familiar dark blue Daoist robe, his body devoid of any Law Power fluctuations, just like an ordinary mortal strolling through the outer void.
"Call out!"
At that moment, a ray of extremely spiritual light suddenly flew over!
It landed directly in Qi Yun's outstretched palm, turning into a slightly warm spot of light that shimmered quietly.
Within the light spot, a faint yet familiar and comforting Daoist aura Qi Yun.
At the same time, a faint but clear sense of direction emanated from the light spot, vaguely pointing to a deep location in the void.
Qi Yun's eyes flickered slightly as he recognized the source of this ray of light.
"Is this... to guide me?"
"Alright." Qi Yun nodded, about to follow the pulling force forward.
However, "Thump!"
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Without warning, four muffled, desolate footsteps, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Ruins of Return Nine Nethers, capable of halting the heartbeat of all things, suddenly exploded in this deathly silence!
The footsteps didn't come from one direction, but from all directions simultaneously, carrying an eerie resonance that formed an invisible cage, firmly locking the void where Qi Yun was located!
"Whoosh--woo--"
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying, chilling wind, with an ominous grayish-white hue and filled with countless faint cries and the smell of decay, swept in like a burst dam of the Styx!
An overwhelming, terrifying pressure, filled with the meaning of "end," "annihilation," and "Ruins of Return," accompanied by a cold wind, descended with a deafening roar, like billions of graves pressing down at once!
"Heh—" Qi Yun paused, raising an eyebrow slightly, "They really are—a persistent ghost."
He slowly turned around.
In the void ahead, four tall, silent figures, each carrying a corner of an ancient, mottled coffin inscribed with strange funerary characters on their shoulders, had appeared like ghosts, surrounding him from all four directions!
Thump!
Then came another, heavier, and closer set of footsteps.
The void in the center of the four coffin-carrying True Lord suddenly dented downwards!
The terrifying ancient coffin opened a crack once more, and a thick, dark green mist escaped from it.
The Lord of the Ancient Coffin!
"Leave Xuanhuang —your death is imminent."
A hoarse, lifeless voice echoed from the thick fog.
Before the words were even finished, the thick fog emanating from the ancient coffin suddenly boiled and expanded, emitting an even more terrifying aura of corrosion, decay, and annihilation than before!
"Boom"
An endless, dark green fog, like a living thing, raged and swept across the land, causing all life to wither and die rapidly in its wake!
It seemed as if it wanted to completely transform this Beyond-Domain Heaven into a death trap that would devour everything and annihilate all things!
"The Dao of Burial and Annihilation —it truly is a domineering and sinister path."
Faced with this overwhelming, all-consuming dark green miasma, Qi Yun remained calm, though a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"Burying Heaven, Burying Earth, Burying All Living Beings—Legend has it that when this path is cultivated to its ultimate level, it can bury an entire era, allowing everything to return to eternal slumber."
"Truly a terrifying existence."
"But----"
Qi Yun's gaze was indifferent. "You, a living dead, dare to stop me?!"
Buzz!
An ancient sword incantation, filled with endless killing intent, was recited aloud by Qi Yun. Each word transformed into a clear and melodious Sword Intent, imprinting itself on the void!
"Buzz!!!"
As the sword incantation resounded, a gray-colored Immortal-Slaying Dao Fruit, shaped like four ancient swords hanging upside down, with a terrifying destructive luster flowing through its blade and radiating a terrifying Dao aura that severed cause and effect and destroyed all laws, rose again from the depths of Qi Yun's Purple Mansion and hovered above his head!
This Dao Fruit was incredibly powerful, and Qi Yun picked it and carried it with him.
It has now become one of his most formidable offensive weapons!
The next moment!
An endless, surging, and powerful Sword Intent swept out.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Four clear and resonant sword cries, capable of tearing apart all defenses of the myriad realms, erupted fiercely from the Immortal-Slaying Dao Fruit!
Four swords drawn simultaneously!
The next instant -
Four terrifying sword lights, each with a different color but all exuding an aura of world-destroying slaughter, shot into the sky from the Dao Fruit and solidified around Qi Yun!
The sword is entirely dark gold, its sharpness concealed, yet it possesses a terrifying power to sever all causal connections and cause immortals and gods to fall like mortals—the Immortal Immortal-Slaying Sword!
The sword is scarlet in color, its Sha Qi soaring to the sky. As the blade flows, it seems as if an endless Blood Sea is rising and falling. Immortal-Slaughtering Sword that is dedicated to slaying all living souls and spirits!
The sword's transformations are endless, sometimes as massive as a mountain, sometimes as delicate as a wisp of silk. Wherever the sword light passes, traps are created in the void, binding all laws— the Immortal-Trapping Sword!
A sword, ethereal and unpredictable, its flowing light transforms into endless killing formations, sealing off all escape routes and lifelines —the Immortal-Extinguishing Sword!
The four swords hovered in the air, their energy interconnected, instantly outlining a hazy sword domain covering a radius of millions of miles!
Within the Sword Domain, earth, water, fire, and wind were restored, and Yin and Yang and the five elements were reversed. Only the purest and most extreme intent of killing, destruction, and ending raged wildly like a tide!
"Go!"
Qi Yun pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched the four coffin-carrying True Lord in front of him!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh one"
The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords transformed into four destructive Flowing Light, each slashing towards one of the four coffin-carrying True Lord!
Wherever the sword light passed, the dark green miasma that could corrode everything was actually "cut open" and "evaporated"!
The terrifying Sword Intent was domineering and unparalleled, crushing and shattering all "Dao" and "Dharma" that dared to block its way!
"Roar!" The four True Lord carrying coffins let out a low, inhuman roar in unison. The giant coffins on their shoulders trembled violently, and the coffin lids were completely opened. Endless dark green burial aura and death intent condensed over countless millennia transformed into four gray torrents, meeting the four sword lights!
"Boom--"
The sword light and the torrent of burial energy collided violently!
There was no stalemate.
Only utter and devastating destruction!
"Snap!"
Four loud bangs in succession!
Under the gaze of the Lord of the Ancient Coffin's suddenly contracted pupils, the four coffin-carrying True Lord were simultaneously cleaved in two by the four sword lights!
The terrifying Immortal-Slaying Sword Intent swept across, further shredding the scattered remains of the True Lord into dust, utterly annihilating them into the void!
"You!"
The gray mist around the Lord of the Ancient Coffin churned violently, revealing his inner rage and horror!
He never expected that the other party's strength would increase to such an extent after becoming True Lord!
Even more unexpectedly, the [Immortal-Slaying Dao Fruit] in his hands could unleash such terrifying power!
"Your turn." Qi Yun turned his gaze to the Lord of the Ancient Coffin and pointed his finger again.
"Buzz"
The Four Immortal-Slaying Swords emitted a deafening sword cry, soaring into the sky and roaring wildly. They slashed down on the Lord of the Ancient Coffin with an unstoppable and all-annihilating force!
"Heaven-Burying Coffin Suppression!" The Lord of the Ancient Coffin let out a shrill cry, and the coffin lid opened wide, revealing endless darkness and deathly silence inside, like a maw of Ruins of Return that could devour all the heavens, meeting the incoming Immortal-Slaying Sword!
"Clang--!!!"
A terrifying impact erupted, clearing away the void for millions of miles around and turning countless floating objects into dust!
The ancient coffin trembled violently, and the eerie burial decorations on its surface flickered and even developed fine cracks!
Barely managing to block this earth-shattering sword strike, the gray mist surrounding the Lord of the Ancient Coffin was mostly dispersed, revealing a pale, withered, cold, and stiff face, with a trickle of ink-black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting." Qi Yun raised an eyebrow and smiled gently, "It seems you're more robust than I imagined."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chaotic colorful energy that Qi Yun had been suppressing suddenly erupted!
He no longer used any external Dao Fruit; he simply and purely clenched his right fist.
On his fist, boundless chaotic light gathered, as if he had grasped a chaotic universe that was being created. An unparalleled Daoist aura that governed all laws, encompassed all heavens, and surpassed everything was unleashed!
Break!
Qi Yun a step forward, his figure appearing in front of the ancient coffin as if by teleportation. He then punched the incredibly sturdy coffin lid, which had barely blocked the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and slammed it down hard!
"How dare you!"
The Lord of the Ancient Coffin sensed the absolute power contained in that fist and let out a roar of shock and rage!
"BOOM--!!!"
A deafening roar that shook the boundless void erupted, and an extremely terrifying impact spread out instantly, annihilating everything around it!
The fist fell, and the coffin shattered!
The coffin lid, forged from some unknown divine material and bearing the "Burial and Annihilation" Dao of the Lord of the Ancient Coffin, shattered under the force of this Primordial Unity Punch, turning into countless black fragments that scattered in all directions!
The Lord of the Ancient Coffin was struck as if by lightning and sent flying backward. The remaining coffin was also covered with terrifying cracks, and his face was filled with disbelief!
This kid—how can he be so ridiculously strong!
"Die!"
Qi Yun pressed his advantage, his figure flashing once more as he appeared above the flying Lord of the Ancient Coffin. His fist, swirling with Primordial Unity energy, slammed down on the master's head once more!
If this punch lands, even with his indestructible body, he will perish.
"You bastard!"
A flicker of pain crossed the Lord of the Ancient Coffin's stiff face, and a golden feather appeared in his hand without him even noticing!
This golden feather, no more than three inches long, exudes a supreme, magnificent, and otherworldly Daoist charm that transcends cause and effect!
It is completely incompatible with his own path of "annihilation," and is clearly a life-saving item bestowed by some supreme being!
"Buzz"
Jin Yu suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a powerful spatial fluctuation, so strong that it made Qi Yun frown slightly, swept out, instantly disrupting the lock-on of his fist!
The next moment, the golden light, carrying the heavily injured Lord of the Ancient Coffin, flashed and pierced through layers of void. In a bizarre way that even Qi Yun could not immediately intercept, it traversed an infinite distance and disappeared into the depths of the vast void!
Only a lingering, venomous voice remained. "You just wait—this grudge—I will avenge!"
Qi Yun stood with his fist clenched, gazing in the direction where the Lord of the Ancient Coffin had disappeared, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Was this the work of [True Lord Above]?"
