The world fell silent, a profound stillness enveloping everything.
The remaining five Ancestor Gods watched in disbelief, stunned into speechlessness.
"Damn it, we can't stop him."
"Hold him back, give Tian time to recover."
Ancestor God Ren roared, his radiant divine axe interwoven with golden light, striking again.
Mu Changqing eyed him coldly, seeing this as a path to self-destruction.
"Since you wish to die, I shall grant you your wish."
With a mighty roar, Mu Changqing shattered the heavens and earth, turning to face Ancestor God Ren.
Upon seeing this, Ancestor God Ren's face contorted in rage, and he cursed.
"Damn it, why did I step forward."
He had no intention of confronting Mu Changqing directly and turned to flee.
He roared as he fled.
"Hurry, we cannot let him defeat us one by one. Otherwise, there will be no more chances. Delay him. The battle here is too terrifying, it will surely awaken that one from his slumber."
The other four Ancestor Gods paused for a moment before reacting swiftly.
They began to burn their own Ancestral Origins, undergoing extreme transformation, taking that one step forward, and charging towards Mu Changqing.
"Stop him."
Ancestor God An was the first to arrive, transforming into a vast black mist, rendering Mu Changqing unable to pinpoint his true form.
His aim was to obscure Mu Changqing's vision and buy time.
"One by one, all seeking death."
A cold snort echoed, and purple mist surged forth.
In the next moment, a purple sword energy slashed through the darkness, directly annihilating the churning black mist.
Ancestor God An, struck by the terrifying blow, was sent crashing onto the gray Ancestral Origin, creating a massive chasm in the land, causing the boundless gray earth to churn.
Seeing this, the other Ancestor Gods' expressions shifted, their fear of Mu Changqing growing.
At that moment, boundless Ancestral Brilliance flowed through the heavens and earth, and a blurred figure emerged from an unknown space, descending once more into the real world.
Ancestor God Tian resurrected amidst the silence, his face ashen and grim.
"Beyond all worlds, sacrificing the unknown, descend."
Instantly, the heavens and earth trembled. The glorious Unknown Heavens broke through the void and arrived.
Like an ancient, mysterious continent, it shattered all obstacles, coming with destructive force, obliterating all that was known and extinguishing all variables in the myriad realms.
Mu Changqing looked up, his gaze calm.
The colossal entity defied description.
Above it, Ancestral Origin material burned like fierce flames, engulfing heaven and earth.
Endless Ancestral Runes flickered and pulsed, as if imbued with life.
"You all never understood. Facing the power of the Ancestral Origin, no matter how strong you are, it is like moths to a flame, courting your own destruction."
Purple mist billowed from Mu Changqing's mouth, transforming him into the Ancestral Origin itself, turning all the myriad realms into mere derivations of the Ancestral Origin.
The scene was terrifying and awe-inspiring.
Visible to all realms, aside from an unawakened gray Ancestral Origin standing firm, there was only a purple Ancestral Origin, possessing self-awareness, expelling forbidden Ancestral power, and encroaching upon everything in the myriad realms.
Countless patterns of light shimmered, the very fabric of existence pulsed with a dim glow, as if a colossal abyss had opened in the space between heaven and earth.
The mouth of the abyss enveloped all matter, including Ancestor God Tian and the unknown entity he had summoned.
Rumble!
The abyss closed, and Ancestor God Tian, along with his ultimate trump card, vanished completely from the mortal world.
The purple Ancestral Origin trembled violently, shattering the very fabric of space.
However, no matter how Ancestor God Tian resisted, no matter how he opened a fissure, the purple Ancestral Origin would instantly heal, its purple threads reweaving an eternal tapestry.
As time wore on, all his Ancestral Origin power was being furiously consumed by the purple Ancestral Origin.
The other Ancestor Gods watched this with terror, swiftly intervening, attempting to shatter Mu Changqing's Ancestral Origin again and release Ancestor God Tian.
"Scram!"
Mu Changqing let out a cold roar, his voice shaking ancient and modern times, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
Dense lines of cosmic threads spread out from his form once more, weaving and interpenetrating spacetime, ubiquitous.
Reflecting the splendor of all realms, both light and darkness, all visible matter.
A vast purple mist surged forth, its power surpassing all of ancient and future times. No living being, not even an Ancestor God, could reach this level.
Rumble!
With this single strike, the five Ancestor Gods who attempted rescue suffered a terrifying and destructive attack. Their immense, unseen forms instantly disintegrated into nothingness.
"Kill!"
Mu Changqing's gaze grew even more indifferent. He closed his arms, transforming the Ancestral Origin into the heavens of the myriad realms, severing any possibility of Ancestor God Tian's resurgence.
The power of the Ancestral Origin evolved into a cosmic sword, piercing through the heavens.
Like a world-ending divine sword, it descended to obliterate existence.
That purple longsword was terrifying beyond measure.
Its surface pulsed with myriad threads, radiating peak killing intent, slashing through this eternal space.
The immeasurable sword instantly pierced the purple mist, pinning Ancestor God Tian onto the Ancestral Origin, causing him agonizing screams.
The great era roared, and an endless mist permeated, engulfing him.
The gray Ancestral Origin self-revived, and the earth cracked open a chasm infinitely larger than the abyss, burying him deep within the earth.
After countless eons, with the purple Ancestral Origin having absorbed Ancestor God Tian's power, the mist grew even more vast and majestic, its opposition to the gray Ancestral Origin's power more terrifying and daunting.
The unawakened gray Ancestral Origin was now forced to retreat, unwilling to confront it directly.
Mu Changqing strode across the mist, his majestic and brilliant form suspended in the void, indifferently facing the five Ancestor Gods who had reawakened.
"Tian has been annihilated, why do you still struggle in your death throes."
His arrogant words rendered everyone utterly speechless.
As he spoke, Mu Changqing's form flickered, appearing as the controller of all realms. With every movement, every thought, he held the fate of all beings.
At this moment, the purple mist had already permeated all knowable eras and spaces.
From the smallest star realms to the myriad heavens and myriad worlds, the great universal realms, the sea of chaos, and the river of time, the cycle of reincarnation.
With a single thought, the sea of chaos was born. Within the sea of chaos, every ripple and speck of dust was composed of primordial universes.
Purple mist spewed forth, like a celestial explosion, flowing onward.
Having absorbed the infinite Dao fruits of Ancestor God Tian and Ancestor God Ling, Mu Changqing underwent another transformation.
The mist swirling and spewing from the purple Ancestral Origin was the most direct embodiment of his terrifying power.
The endless mist enveloped all temporal spaces, and wherever it passed, it became eternal.
There was no space it could not create. In this great era, there was no longer any shore.
Every dust particle of the mist was a colossal sea of chaos. The seas of chaos flowed and converged, forming a sea of cosmic light.
That ocean was terrifying, each drop formed from the convergence of the sea of chaos.
Its true form transcended the concepts of time and space.
The Ancestor Gods, whose original forms were already beyond the concepts of time and space, now possessed physically discernible bodies within this Ancestral Origin.
This was a matter of relativity. Relative to other realms, their great Ancestral God forms were eternally immortal, invincible.
A single thought of eternity created all beings and all things. Their very bodies became the myriad realms, immeasurably vast.
When they faced a being of a higher level, a transcendent supreme being who forged a new path and broke through the ultimate limit.
They became describable, no longer the primordial essence of all realms, no longer eternally immortal and invincible.
Everything was transformed from the indescribable into the describable.
