The power from the purple ancestral origin, eternal and indestructible, was too terrifying.
Even the Ancestral God Spirit, who had undergone transformation and chosen the path of no return, was now filled with dread.
He exerted his full strength, his entire being enveloped in radiance, like a blazing sun storing energy to its limit, resplendent and blazing.
"I am the Ancestral God, eternal, immortal, and undying. All laws of the myriad realms, suppress them for me!"
The Ancestral God Spirit was no longer calm. He roared to the heavens, frenzied to the extreme.
A killing intent swept through the heavens, piercing the darkness.
The flower and grass plains, previously eroded by Mu Changqing, instantly returned to their original state, forming a terrifying killing formation. They merged into the grand array with his last remaining essence, launching an attack towards Mu Changqing.
In an instant, that power shattered the eternal and indestructible sword light, annihilated all the dense fog, revealing Mu Changqing's true form and the still obscured ancestral origin behind him.
"It is worth my seriousness. Unfortunately, in all realms, I am already invincible. Facing the focus of attention of the worlds, you have no chance of victory."
Mu Changqing spoke indifferently. The ancestral origin moved with him, directly colliding with the Ancestral God Spirit, carrying the ancestral origin's true form.
The two powers that surpassed all else clashed, instantly breaking through the concealment of both sides and revealing themselves above the gray ancestral origin.
The extreme power instantly drew the attention of the other Ancestral Gods.
They gazed up at the firmament, witnessing two figures of eternal radiance clashing.
Also clashing were a purple ancestral origin and countless flower and grass plains.
Rumble!
The gray ancestral origin trembled and shook violently, its earth overturned.
Immeasurable immortal light erupted, its power unparalleled throughout all realms, ancient and modern, resonating with the past and future.
Various ancestral runes flowed, the spaces of all realms becoming dazzling. The most primordial and ancient runes were reflected.
The great world revealed itself for the first time, with endless ancestral radiance that was eternal and indestructible, continuously traversing ancient and present, future, and all spans of time and space.
As the gray ancestral origin shook, indistinct and unviewable meridians emerged.
These were the foundations of the ancestral origin, the meridians of the ancestral origin of all realms, existing similarly to Mu Changqing's ancestral origin.
The great world churned, and the years sank.
The power was too terrifying, a clash of the ultimate forces from the ancestral origin.
It was like the most ancient eternal divine radiance, continuously grinding against each other.
The majestic power that permeated all realms caused Mu Changqing's black robe to dance wildly, his face gradually showing a ferocious expression.
"I am invincible, unchallenged in all realms, how can you be my match?"
Mu Changqing roared to the heavens, his voice shaking all eras.
The six Ancestral Gods watched this scene, filled with horror.
That was an ancestral origin, an ancestral origin on par with the gray ancestral origin.
It was merged with Mu Changqing's body; wherever Mu Changqing was, it was there.
The Ancestral God Spirit, however, became calm. His flower and grass plains were being devoured one by one, becoming nourishment for Mu Changqing's ancestral origin.
His aura was rapidly declining, his form blurring, becoming transparent, as if he were a person who no longer existed in ancient history, about to depart.
Meanwhile, Mu Changqing's aura was growing explosively. The purple ancestral origin was expanding and perfecting itself.
The scene was too horrifying, like two suns illuminating the heavens and earth, constantly impacting all that could be perceived.
The textures of all realms continued to shine brightly, accompanying the rapid decay of the Ancestral God Spirit's aura.
Everyone knew that this battle was nearing its end.
The Ancestral God Spirit had been defeated!
Even though he had sacrificed all his creations and laws to gain a sliver of opportunity for transcendence, he was still no match for Mu Changqing.
"Defeated!"
An Ancestral God made a move to intervene but then retracted his action.
He understood that even a surprise attack, against beings at this level, would be useless. It would only result in the loss of his own Ancestral God dignity.
Suddenly, a dense fog arose again, sweeping in from afar.
The gray ancestral origin gradually revived. It sensed a threat and could no longer allow Mu Changqing to continue devouring all of the Ancestral God Spirit, to continue evolving and growing.
Mu Changqing sensed it, his eyes radiating divine light, and he let out a cold snort.
"Begone!"
Then, his body expanded infinitely, instantly engulfing the Ancestral God Spirit completely, accelerating the process of devouring.
With his other hand, he flung an indestructible sword light, which swept forth with overwhelming force.
It instantly pushed back the dense fog, following its trajectory into the boundless depths, seeking to find the source of the gray ancestral origin.
The gray ancestral origin sensed it, trembled, severed its connection, and retreated once more into the unknown, mysterious origin place.
"Hmph, shameful to be an ancestral origin."
Mu Changqing sneered contemptuously, his voice echoing powerfully and eternally in the heavens and earth of the ancestral origin.
This left everyone astonished by his arrogance, not even placing the gray ancestral origin in his heart, how domineering!
Mu Changqing no longer paid attention to the gray ancestral origin. He turned his gaze to the Ancestral God Spirit whose aura had weakened to the extreme.
His body moved slightly, causing the meridians of the purple ancestral origin to flash with the most extreme brilliant light, resonating and attacking.
All realms shook violently, and all beings felt this scene with terror.
This seemed to be the most resplendent figure of all known eras.
No matter what era the years flowed into, no being could match it.
The Ancestral God Spirit looked at this scene, his body now extremely faint, revealing a trace of regret as he murmured.
"In the end, I lost!"
The Spirit watched as the fruits of his countless years of cultivation disintegrated one by one, turning into endless nourishment, devoured by Mu Changqing like a boundless stream.
Complex emotions flashed in his eyes, revealing a nostalgic gaze towards the past.
"Born supreme, wielding the years of all sentient beings, what is it worth? You are merely a group of pitiful individuals unable to transcend. Without achieving invincibility, it is all an illusion, a fleeting dream."
The Ancestral God Spirit seemed to have seen through everything and no longer resisted or struggled, allowing himself to merge into Mu Changqing's body.
Or rather, into the purple ancestral origin.
"Mu Changqing, you are very good, a worthy opponent. Your path is long, continue on it, break free from constraints, and achieve the sole supreme position."
Mu Changqing heard this and stopped his actions.
His figure floated in the air, allowing the purple ancestral origin to greedily consume.
He, however, looked indifferently at the Ancestral God Spirit who was about to vanish from existence, giving him the opportunity to leave his last words.
Seeing this, the Ancestral God Spirit smiled and continued.
"The origin of that taboo object, we are also unaware of. In the battle before the ages, we were merely pawns. Your true opponent will also awaken."
"However...!"
At this point, a look of entanglement appeared on the Ancestral God Spirit's face.
He then sighed and continued.
"It is not complete, just like the rising sun, it will always carry the dawn to be a complete beginning, do you understand?"
Mu Changqing narrowed his purple eyes, his expression still indifferent, as calm as an ancient well.
When a person is about to die, their words are often benevolent.
The Ancestral God Spirit had no reason to deceive him. He had already guessed what the so-called dawn was.
Beings at this level only needed a trace to understand the truth.
"Time has come. I am truly reluctant. So, this is what death feels like."
The Ancestral God Spirit slowly closed his eyes, no longer speaking.
Starlight filled the sky, annihilating into the mortal world.
A faint murmur was heard, but the Ancestral God Spirit's figure was nowhere to be seen.
"The coffin rests eternally at the bottom of the deep valley, long years of light and time pass. The stars flow, the fate is set, you and I are but dust in the mortal world!"
