"Ants, as long as we don't die, with infinite reserve power, how can you kill us."
The creatures of the sacrificial sea roared, once again absorbing the power of the sacrificial sea and recovering to their peak state.
Mu Changqing's expression remained unmoved. He dodged the simultaneous attacks of the four great creatures and shattered another sacrificial sea creature with a single sword strike.
He then retreated, engaging the remaining creatures in a fierce battle, his gaze fixated on the spot where he had shattered the previous one.
A few breaths later, the sacrificial sea creature reappeared, its aura restored to its peak, but it did not differentiate into other sacrificial sea creatures.
"Is five sacrificial sea creatures the limit?"
Mu Changqing muttered to himself, unwilling to believe that an order of heaven and earth could truly be indestructible.
If it was, it could only be because he was not strong enough.
Immediately, Mu Changqing raised his sword and unleashed the phenomenon of the Burial of the Heavens domain.
The sacrificial sea churned, corpses exploded and annihilated strangely, and countless broken universes splashed out like waves, crashing into the gray starry sky and the endless gray ancient road.
With a single strike, except for the sacrificial sea creature entangled by the Dao Ancestor and Empress Xuan Yue, the true bodies of the other four sacrificial sea creatures that had split the sky and earth were instantly annihilated, their blood raining down into the sacrificial sea.
Mu Changqing's figure emitted a brilliant Dao sound, with meridians flashing purple light, as if constructing the foundation of the Burial of the Heavens world, becoming increasingly terrifying.
Within the meridians, a wheel of causality and destiny was gestured, and a world belonging solely to Mu Changqing was born, returning to his control.
His eyes shone with the brilliance of radiant divine light, impossible to look at directly. A faint radiance flickered around him, causing the expressions of the Dao Ancestor and Empress Xuan Yue to change.
"Transforming again, he is a being born for battle, evolving in combat, and rapidly advancing on the Great Dao of cultivation."
The Dao Ancestor sighed lightly, unable to comprehend why Mu Changqing, a mere acquired being, could break free from the game, defy the innate, and defy the Heavenly Dao.
Yet he, though born innately and transcending all, could now not even see Mu Changqing's back, having been left far behind on the Great Dao of cultivation.
"Therefore, he can become the existence I admire."
Empress Xuan Yue spoke softly, a crescent moon flashing between her brows, her delicate body emitting an increasingly chilling and terrifying radiance of frost.
The frost evolved into a crystal-clear long sword that pierced through her body, spewing forth streams of terrifying cold white light, incredibly sharp, capable of severing the river of time.
"Kill! How dare these grotesque creatures provoke the majesty of the Emperor of Burial, their crime is punishable by death."
Empress Xuan Yue's face was as cold as frost, as if her destiny was to be born for Mu Changqing, to clear the dregs blocking his path.
As her voice fell, Empress Xuan Yue burned the origin of all beings, erupting with streams of white flames that attached themselves to the crystal-clear long sword, actually wounding the sacrificial sea creature.
"Ah, ah, ah! Ants, how dare you wound me!"
The terrifying sacrificial sea creature roared to the sky, the wound inflicted by Empress Xuan Yue instantly healed. It then wrapped itself in the phenomenon of the overwhelming sacrificial sea and engaged the two in battle again.
At this moment, the four sacrificial sea creatures in front of Mu Changqing had revived again, their auras instantly restored to their peak.
With the peculiar sacrificial sea as their reincarnation domain, they were immortal, and would instantly revive even if they perished.
"We admit, you are very strong and terrifying, more so than any variable that has appeared in unknown ages, but so what? If you cannot break the order of this place, you cannot kill us."
"Deep within the gray ancient road, more powerful beings are awakening. They will descend here soon and join forces to suppress you and eliminate the variable."
One of the colossal beings spoke with majesty, its face showing a trace of apprehension.
They could indeed be immortal, but that sense of death was truly unbearable, tormenting their minds.
Mu Changqing fell silent, his head slightly lowered, his black hair burning with purple flames falling casually onto his shoulders. His eyes shone with an eternal brilliance like time itself, never ceasing.
His black robe rustled wildly, and his body stood firm in the gray heaven and earth, confronting the four sacrificial sea creatures and the experts of the Heavenly realm.
"Immortal? That phrase sounds familiar. Too many beings have told me that, all of them immortal."
"There was once an Immortal Emperor who could hold the universe in his palm and reverse the flow of time with his thoughts. They were difficult to kill, immortal beings, but in the end, they all perished under my hand, their existence completely erased."
"There was once an innate being who considered himself supreme and aloof, looking down upon the changing ages, plotting against acquired beings, yet they could not escape the fate of dying under my sword."
"There were once beings above all sentient beings, controllers of destiny and causality, who also said this, but they all turned to dust and disappeared into the river of time."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing's aura surged rapidly, the Heavenly level aura seemingly unable to restrain his body any longer.
The churning flames continuously swallowed boundless forbidden power, corroding the order of this world and evaporating the strangeness of the sacrificial sea.
"And today, you also believe yourselves to be immortal and underestimate me by relying on the infinite revival of strangeness. This is the greatest mistake you will ever make in your lives."
Mu Changqing slowly raised his head, the meridians flashing with terrifying purple light, like lightning, constantly illuminating the gray sky.
The entire gray ancient road, the sacrificial sea without a shore, was already spiritual.
At this moment, they let out human-like fear, and endless Dao sounds echoed, the sounds of their wails.
The faces of the five sacrificial sea creatures were terrifying, contorted and roaring.
"No… Why can you evolve without limit? How can this level be so easily transformed and evolved? Your path is wrong, the Dao you cultivate is not the cultivation system we passed down."
A sacrificial sea creature roared in terror, discovering the anomaly.
Billions of years floated and sank in his palm, and that soul-stirring aura surged out. His eight claws tore through the gray sky, intending to stop Mu Changqing's strike.
Hearing this, a trace of mockery flickered in Mu Changqing's radiant eyes.
From beginning to end, the Dao he cultivated was never the system of the myriad realms, but a new system that mirrored the powers of the myriad realms, the Burial Dao cultivation system that belonged solely to Mu Changqing.
The system of the myriad realms was spread by Hong Meng, and Hong Meng's cultivation system originated from the gray ancestral primordial realm.
Therefore, there were few variables in the myriad realms and the Hong Meng era.
Perhaps in unknown ages, in unrecorded eras, there were indeed beings who broke free, stepped into the chasm, and entered the gray ancient road, but they were annihilated in the sacrificial sea, becoming a part of the sacrificial sea's power.
"You only realize the problem now? Too late!"
As he spoke, the meridians around Mu Changqing completed their construction, forming the world of Burial of the Heavens.
The gray sky collapsed, shattering the gray space, enshrouding an endless expanse of time and space.
With Mu Changqing's body as the forbidden beginning, it transformed into a new primal founding land.
It was an extremely strange world, a world where only one Great Dao law, one rule of order, one heaven existed – that was Mu Changqing himself.
Where he was, all things began, creating the causal destiny of creation and burial, the Heavenly Dao of Burial.
At this moment, the rules and order of the entire gray ancient road were completely isolated, severing their source. How could they rely on the strangeness of the gray ancestral primordial realm to revive again?
