Mu Changqing's expression was calm, without any ripples in his heart. To slay a mere Lord of Darkness would not elicit any sighs from him.
"Perish with peace. Darkness ceases to exist, and soon, light will follow you."
"To oppose me is your most foolish choice, including you, Heavenly Dao."
Mu Changqing spoke dominantly again, the torn heavens of darkness turning into a ruin, revealing Mu Changqing's figure.
His peerless elegance surpassed all of ancient, present, and future times.
From this moment on, Mu Changqing would make all beings, heaven and earth, and the Great Primordial know.
He was not only the taboo of the Emperor's Fall but also the sole taboo within all that could be known.
The Primordial Azure Lotus restored its human form, gazing at Mu Changqing, who stood tall in the sky like an emperor controlling the destinies of all beings, his fear deepening.
Mu Changqing was not just a variable but a madman, an extreme madman who broke rules, defied the Heavenly Dao, and possessed unmatched strength.
And at this moment, Mu Changqing had not departed.
He knew that some beings were about to appear.
As expected, in the next moment.
The Demon Ancestor and the Human Ancestor arrived together, their vast and powerful pressure permeating the boundless chaos, suppressing the universe.
Mu Changqing slowly turned, watching calmly, unafraid.
"Primordial Azure Lotus, it is indeed you who betrayed the Burial Emperor. I said it back then, such wavering elements should be eradicated."
The Demon Ancestor roared, his gaze towards the Primordial Azure Lotus filled with an incomparably terrifying and abyssal light. The most primal, terrifying demonic energy raged through the chaos, casting a vision of immense dread.
The Primordial Azure Lotus trembled in fear, unable to withstand the supreme pressure emanating from the Demon Ancestor's body, her delicate face turning pale.
Mu Changqing took a step forward, his will subtly shifting to block the pressure from the Demon Ancestor.
The Primordial Azure Lotus still had use, value in her existence.
Until she was completely drained, no one could lay a hand on her.
Mu Changqing's principle was that even trash he discarded needed to be discarded by his own hands, not by others' interference.
As a variable, the taboo of the Emperor's Fall, even innate beings could not challenge his principles.
"Demon Ancestor, you've gone too far. I killed the Demon Ancestor, and I killed the Lord of Darkness. Are you and the Human Ancestor joining forces to attack me?"
Mu Changqing took a step forward, positioning himself in front of the Primordial Azure Lotus. Infinite violet light radiated around him, causing the entire chaotic space to emit a bizarre and ominous deep purple glow.
The Demon Ancestor narrowed his eyes, filled with swirling demonic energy, and shouted coldly.
"To deal with you, I don't need to join forces with the Human Ancestor."
"Oh? Then perhaps you'd like to try today."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing slowly raised his right hand. Myriad violet swords materialized out of thin air, their blades pointing towards the Demon Ancestor and the Human Ancestor.
"Since you say so, if I don't fight, wouldn't it seem like I fear you?"
The Demon Ancestor's body erupted with surging demonic energy, his extreme abyssal light writhing and churning like a venomous serpent.
In his right hand, a great halberd, as black as ink, appeared. Its form was ferocious and terrifying, bearing dark red bloodstains, and it continuously spewed the most primal, terrifying demonic energy.
Seeing this, the Human Ancestor's golden eyes flickered, and he spoke for the first time.
"Stop, Demon Ancestor. This is not the time for a great battle. Prioritize the overall situation."
Hearing this, the Demon Ancestor laughed furiously and berated Mu Changqing.
"Prioritize the overall situation? With the rule-breaking, reckless variable known as the Burial Emperor existing, what overall situation can there be? Currently, the sole variable to the overall situation is the Burial Emperor. Kill him, and the situation can proceed smoothly. Why speak further?"
As he spoke, the Demon Ancestor swung his black great halberd, pointing it at Mu Changqing.
On the great halberd, endless terrifying visions were being projected and replayed.
Amidst the terrifying visions, Mu Changqing glimpsed a sliver of the truth of the Primordial Era.
There were Primordial beings whose cultivation spanned across ancient, present, and future, reaching the realm of effortlessly destroying life and destiny, attaining the ultimate of the acquired.
However, such beings, who could be revered as gods by the beings of this era, were, across infinite space-time, struck by the Demon Ancestor's hurled great halberd, piercing their very essence, shattering all opportunities for revival, and turning them into dust.
Mu Changqing's violet eyes flickered, and he spoke calmly.
"The Primordial Era, was it banished by you?"
"Heh, it has nothing to do with you."
The Demon Ancestor did not answer, his aura growing stronger instead, reaching its peak with every breath.
The chaos could not withstand the pressure from the Demon Ancestor, fracturing inch by inch, revealing an indescribable space.
"If you won't say, then I'll fight until you do."
Mu Changqing was not a patient person either; in fact, he was even more wild and domineering.
Billions of violet lights converged, forming a Divine Sword of Order, emitting terrifying immortal light. Its exhalations produced terrifying phenomena no less potent than the Demon Ancestor's.
"My friends, let's talk things through. No need for fighting, it spoils the mood."
The Human Ancestor stood by the side, showing no intention of intervening, and instead uttered a gentle word of comfort.
He understood that even if he and the Demon Ancestor joined forces now, they would not be able to suppress Mu Changqing.
Since they could not suppress him, why not watch the two tear each other apart.
Mu Changqing and the Demon Ancestor tacitly snorted at the Human Ancestor, too lazy to acknowledge him.
In truth, both of them understood the Human Ancestor's intentions.
But both wanted to test how strong the other truly was.
Rumble!
The most terrifying battle of ancient, present, and future erupted.
The auras of the two raged through the chaos, transforming the entire realm into black and purple.
The colliding pressure annihilated roaring divine lightning in the chaos, causing many innate beings hiding in the shadows to flee in terror, unwilling to approach.
Even the Human Ancestor and the Primordial Azure Lotus retreated from the battlefield at this moment.
"Burial Emperor, since my birth, I have never encountered an equal. Even that old fellow, the Human Ancestor, chose not to confront me head-on. You, who possess such courage, are the first."
The Demon Ancestor's voice, like a booming bell, resounded throughout the chaos.
Swinging his black great halberd, an unparalleled abyssal light caused the river of time to tremble, affecting the historical trajectory of all realms in ancient, present, and future.
Mu Changqing raised his eyes and turned his Divine Sword of Order, cleaving horizontally through the air.
His power was overwhelming, beyond human comprehension.
It transformed into an eternal sword light, capable of easily severing the myriad ages.
The collision of these terrifying attacks, transcending the constraints of space and time, shook the entire chaos.
Beings in every space-time within the river of time, across ancient, present, and future.
At this moment, they simultaneously looked up at the sky, feeling the despairing light of the apocalypse.
The starry sky of all heavens trembled, as if a giant, reaching to the heavens, was toying with all the myriad realms.
A mere wisp of aura leaked from the two could annihilate the entire heavens.
The Human Ancestor saw this and waved his right hand, using supreme power to shield against the terrifying residual force of their collision.
The overwhelmingly terrifying power caused the bodies of the two to crack.
However, in an instant, their bodies emitted a terrifying light and healed instantly.
For beings at this level, it was difficult to kill.
Especially those who had reached the fourth tier of existence, the level of Primordial Creation, they could barely be injured.
With just a thought, they could recover from all discernible wounds.
Therefore, Mu Changqing was a variable; his Burial Dao targeted beings such that no matter how powerful you were, you could not resist.
When the source was damaged, recovery became difficult.
The Demon Ancestor's expression grew increasingly serious. Although it was only a probing collision, he had already sensed it.
Mu Changqing was by no means weaker than him, and might even be hiding some strength.
Mu Changqing also did not underestimate the Demon Ancestor. Those who could reach the fourth tier of innate beings could not be buried by heaven or erased by time.
They were true masters standing on the river of time, controlling all beings.
Unfortunately, Mu Changqing had leaped out of the chessboard, becoming the sole variable of ancient, present, and future, leaving them helpless.
