Orderly divine light converged around Mu Changqing, merging into the shadow of the Burying Heaven Pearl, interweaving to form a terrifying purple sword.
Upon the purple sword, the sharp edge swallowed the terrifying spectacle of realms being born and extinguished, reflecting the painted scroll of Emperor Fall Mu Changqing battling the Heavenly Dao.
Mu Changqing’s Dharma form, with its right hand, gently grasped the purple sword, holding it diagonally beside him, his purple eyes calmly gazing at the Demon Ancestor.
"Do you know why I was qualified to battle the Heavenly Dao back then? It is precisely because of this.
A bunch of self-righteous fools, did you really think I would fear you? If it weren't for the subsequent plans, to deal with the awakening of the Heavenly Dao, would you lot have the right to be my enemy, to attack me? This is the greatest mistake you have made in this life."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing's Burying Heaven Pearl shadow behind him broke through the billions of ultimate immortal lights of the Chaos Immortal Bell.
With a horizontal sword slash, a brilliant nether light surged forth, annihilating all in its path, sweeping across the sky.
In an instant, the entire Chaos Immortal Bell let out a mournful cry, trembling in fear.
The sword instantly pierced through the Immortal Bell. The Chaos Green Lotus could no longer withstand this transcendent aura and fled in terror.
Crack!
With one sword, it severed billions of ancient eons of chaos, causing a chasm in ancient history. Although it did not affect the perception of time for innate beings, it definitively cut off a segment of time from the primordial chaos.
The Chaos Immortal Bell let out a roar of unwillingness. Since its birth countless eons ago, it had developed its own consciousness, its own spirit.
Yet now, it had just emerged, and before it could even display its peerless elegance, it was already falling.
"Forbidden techniques, touching upon karma. So it is, so it is. Hahahaha, you no longer fear karma, no wonder you are so reckless."
The Demon Ancestor roared maniacally, a sound that was half weeping, half laughter.
At this moment, as beings at this level, he quickly understood some truths, grasping the outcome.
"Burying Emperor, even if you are truly invincible, what of it? The primordial chaos is unknown, all are restraints. The more powerful you are, the more they fear you. You can suppress any supreme being, but can you stand against the combined forces of all known and unknown opponents across the past, present, and future, fighting against the flow of the river of time?"
The Demon Ancestor was now increasingly frenzied, heedless of all consequences, roaring and yelling.
His voice resounded through the primordial chaos, but the Chaos Green Lotus, though fleeing in terror, dared not stray far.
She forcefully suppressed the cracks in her supreme form, sealing this region of chaos to prevent the battle from leaking.
This was not out of consideration for Mu Changqing, but out of fear and apprehension.
"A taboo, a variable. He is too strong, invincible throughout the ages. Unless that one awakens, there might be a chance to contend."
The Chaos Green Lotus muttered in terror, once again manifesting her true form, sealing everything.
At this moment, Mu Changqing was surrounded by purple flames and runes, like the master of all flames.
And he, with a majestic and domineering posture, stood upon the river of time, suppressing the painted scroll of past, present, and future.
His aura was incredibly terrifying, like a volcano, constantly erupting and steaming, ceaselessly.
Under the rendering of the Burying Heaven Pearl, his thick black hair turned a dark purple, each strand like a purple waterfall that could easily cleave through time.
"I fear nothing known or unknown. Let you hide in dark corners while I stand in the light. If you dare to join forces and attack, I will suppress you with a single sword."
"Now, I have given you eons to scheme. As long as you dare to step out of your dark corners, I will kill you."
"Before my demise, I have invincible confidence that I can bury all beings, including the Heavenly Dao."
"However, the current you cannot witness this. Therefore, please proceed to your death, and pay the price of your life for your foolish choice."
His domineering words fell, and Mu Changqing took a step forward.
The purple sword, imbued with infinite heavenly might, spat forth endless killing intent, with the power to bury all things, it struck out with a single sword.
Brilliant, imperceptible light flashed like stars, striking down into the heavenly abyss, severing the river of time, and tearing through the chaotic space.
It instantly pierced through the Demon Ancestor's body.
Under this single sword, the Demon Ancestor, whose strength could suppress infinite beings, perished, his body exploding, unable to be reborn.
Mu Changqing's Dao symbolized the burial of all things.
A supreme method that could counter beings above the transcended, an indelible power.
The entire chaotic space was now ragged, like a ruin.
A wisp of primordial purple qi floated alone in the dark chaos, its purple light shimmering.
Mu Changqing withdrew his Dharma form, returning to his original body.
His aura calmed, and he lightly brushed his black sleeve, collecting the Demon Ancestor's primordial purple qi.
Standing with his hands behind his back in the dark chaos for a moment, Mu Changqing murmured softly.
"Yinyin's growth seems to be affecting me. Perhaps when Yinyin undergoes her ultimate transformation again, I will truly have nothing to fear from karma."
Karma and destiny were profound and unknown things.
An ineffable existence.
But Mu Changqing knew that karma and destiny were invisible nets that ensnared all beings, both innate and acquired.
Clearly, Mu Changqing had already roughly guessed Yinyin's origin.
Afterward, Mu Changqing waved his hand slightly, and infinite purple flames transformed this region of chaos into a purple purgatory, burning away all discernible auras.
He crossed infinite space in a single step, appearing before the pale-faced, weakened Chaos Green Lotus.
"Cough, cough, is it resolved?"
Facing Mu Changqing, the Chaos Green Lotus felt as if she were facing an abyss of ten thousand ages, deep, terrifying, and unknowable.
Throughout all of history, she had never imagined that one day she would be so apprehensive of a being born after the ages.
Mu Changqing nodded slightly at her words and waved his hand, stripping away the injuries caused by the residual power of the Burying Heaven Pearl.
As for the influence of the Demon Ancestor's residual power, it was not very significant for her. The primary concern was the forbidden power of the burying Dao contained within the Burying Heaven Pearl.
"Can you still hold on? News of the Demon Ancestor's demise will soon be sensed by other innate beings. If that happens, your value will be greatly diminished."
Mu Changqing spoke with a detached expression, his words merely a calm statement.
However, to the Chaos Green Lotus, they were naked threats.
If she lost her value, her fate could be the same as the Demon Ancestor's.
Forcing down her anger, the Chaos Green Lotus nodded and said.
"I can still manage. However, at most, I can only block one innate being. Innate beings are not fools; they will naturally deduce that you are the one acting based on the clues."
The Chaos Green Lotus spoke, not out of unwillingness.
But because it would be difficult to kill the four innate beings using such methods.
As long as they changed their whereabouts, they would be difficult to find.
Mu Changqing nodded slightly at her words.
It was indeed as the Chaos Green Lotus said.
However, this was already sufficient. The purpose of this action was to declare to all beings that Mu Changqing was not to be trifled with.
"It's enough. Lead the way."
Immediately, the two figures vanished once more into the dark chaos.
...
At the same time, across all the heavens and primordial chaos, all known and unknown innate beings felt a sense, simultaneously looking up into the depths of the boundless chaos.
Disbelief appeared on their faces, followed by terror. Cold shivers ran down their spines, and their hairs stood on end as an unprecedented sense of crisis struck.
"The Demon Ancestor has fallen, the Chaos Immortal Bell has shattered in lamentation. How is this possible!"
"Madness, madness! How could the Demon Ancestor have fallen?"
"Who could kill the Demon Ancestor? Not even the Human Ancestor, unless... the Demon Ancestor and the Human Ancestor joined forces, then it might be possible."
"The Demon Ancestor's fall marks the premature unfolding of the ultimate curtain. The era of great harmony, flourishing to decay, the turbulent times are about to arrive."
The Demon Ancestor and the Human Ancestor's faces were extremely grim. They had not made a move, so there was only one possibility.
"Burying Emperor Mu Changqing has truly made his move!"
