"Quick, send orders to all innate beings, abandon your abodes and come to my territory."
The Human Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor spoke in unison, their boundless pressure erupting from the depths of the boundless primordial chaos.
...
Meanwhile, Mu Changqing and the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus had arrived at an unknown location.
Mu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes closed, a flicker of purple light flashing across them.
"The Dark Heavens, Lord of Darkness."
This was the abode of the Lord of Darkness.
"Green Lotus, seal this place, block all prying eyes. It won't be long before even the Demon Ancestor and other innate beings react, but it will be too late."
Mu Changqing was confident that dealing with a mere Lord of Darkness would not take much time.
The Primordial Chaos Green Lotus sighed, her emotions complex.
She had never imagined that in the future, innate beings would become prey to be harvested by others.
Once the chess masters planning for post-natal beings, they now lacked even the qualification to await the start of the game.
However, she could not afford to dwell on it.
It was a case of "better a dead friend than a living me." If she didn't do this, she would be the first to be kicked out of the game.
"Alright, but we must be quick. The Demon Ancestor and other innate beings will soon know and descend here."
Mu Changqing glanced at the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus, speaking with utmost confidence.
"Do not worry, no matter how he struggles, he cannot escape my grasp. After his death, even if the Demon Ancestor and Human Ancestor descend together, I will not fear them."
At this moment, Mu Changqing exuded unparalleled grace and dominance, like a god ruling over all beings, tearing through chaos with a wave of his hand, stepping into the realm of the Dark Heavens.
The Primordial Chaos Green Lotus shook her head with a wry smile and murmured.
"He truly is incredibly confident. Well, I have no retreat, why trouble myself further."
With that, the Primordial Chaos Green Lotus transformed into her true form, isolating this realm.
The Dark Heavens!
There was no light here, no warmth, no spiritual energy, like a place of dead, silent darkness.
The moment Mu Changqing stepped in, a figure lying on a light screen trembled slightly.
Suddenly opening his pitch-black eyes, the Lord of Darkness felt confusion within.
"Why do I feel unease and fear in my heart? I am sleeping, recovering from my injuries, what else could affect my senses?"
The Lord of Darkness muttered to himself. He had been severely wounded by Mu Changqing a hundred years ago, almost to the point of death.
His injuries had not yet recovered.
Injuries to the origin of darkness were difficult to heal for beings at this level.
Forced to do so, he could only return to the light screen to sleep, accelerating his recovery.
Suddenly, the Lord of Darkness froze and looked up.
He saw a figure in a black robe suspended high in the Dark Heavens, his purple eyes emitting a terrifying purple glow.
Fear, an endless, immeasurable fear, instantly engulfed the Lord of Darkness. He looked at the figure in disbelief, his voice trembling.
"How, how could you find this place? No, the Demon Ancestor... is dead!"
*Bang!*
The light screen shattered, and the Lord of Darkness, in terror, fled, attempting to escape the Dark Heavens.
At this moment, he had only one thought: escape this place.
If Mu Changqing could find this place, he must have first found the Demon Ancestor's abode.
The Demon Ancestor's death meant, without a doubt, that Mu Changqing was responsible.
Mu Changqing watched this, a faint smile on his lips.
He gently flicked his black sleeve.
The entire boundless Dark Heavens transformed into a purple purgatory, with endless terrifying purple flames engulfing all escape routes, cutting off his rear.
"Lord of Darkness, where do you think you're going? Perhaps I should escort you."
Mu Changqing walked forward unhurriedly, the terrifying purple flames falling in his wake, scorching space.
Space could not withstand it and shattered inch by inch.
The Lord of Darkness stopped his escape, his face dark and grim.
The aura of death enveloped him, causing him, an innate being who had long lost all seven emotions and six desires, to feel fear.
Then, suppressing his apprehension towards Mu Changqing, as if making a momentous decision, he bowed deeply.
"Burial Emperor, I am willing to submit to you."
In his view, he was a dignified innate being, a top existence in the world.
His willingness to humble himself and submit was already a great respect shown to Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing had no reason to refuse his submission and spare his life.
"Submit? A nice idea, exchanging that for a sliver of hope, a chance to remain in the game?"
"However... what use is your submission to me? A worthless waste, only squandering resources. Don't you agree, Lord of Darkness?"
As he spoke, Mu Changqing played with the terrifying purple flames in his right hand. In the purple glow, Mu Changqing's expression appeared exceptionally demonic.
The Lord of Darkness's hunched body stiffened. He seemed to find it hard to believe his ears.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Mu Changqing's playful, contemptuous expression. Only then did he realize that Mu Changqing did not care whether he was willing to submit.
What Mu Changqing wanted was his death.
"Heh... Heh heh, I never expected that I, the Lord of Darkness, would one day be reduced to this state. Pathetic, truly pathetic!"
A short while later, the Lord of Darkness muttered to himself.
He understood that he had no further retreat.
Then, the Lord of Darkness took a step forward, facing Mu Changqing from afar.
"Today, let me witness, the supreme might of the Burial Emperor."
The Lord of Darkness roared, quickly suppressing the fear in his heart.
He waved his hand, and the light screen behind him flowed, transforming into a pool of dark rules, suspended high in the sky.
"This is my domain. Burial Emperor, even if you can kill me, you will have to pay a price."
The Lord of Darkness's eyes split wide, his black hair dancing wildly.
Endless black mist flowed around him, breaking through the heavens.
It transformed into the supreme dark rules, weaving and constructing a dark domain. He erupted with the ultimate dark radiance.
Then, he once again activated all his hidden cards, burning his origin of darkness. Chains of dark order, crackling, emerged from the Dark Heavens.
They pierced through space and descended upon the Dark Pool, adding supreme power to the domain, and suppressed Mu Changqing.
From beginning to end, Mu Changqing watched with a calm gaze.
Then, he couldn't help but shake his head and mock.
"Pay a price? You are but a frog in a well. Today, I will show you what supreme forbidden techniques are."
As his voice fell, Mu Changqing flicked his sleeves.
Instantly, endless purple flames flowed through the Dark Heavens and gathered in Mu Changqing's hand.
They transformed into billions of long swords.
Billions of purple swords, imbued with the power of burial, at Mu Changqing's will, unleashed their sword lights simultaneously.
The sharp sword light cut through eternity, slicing through the Dark Heavens.
It instantly shattered the Lord of Darkness's ultimate technique and pierced his body.
No matter how he struggled to recover, the billions of sword lights ceaselessly erased his origin of darkness.
Using the supreme forbidden art of burial, his colossal body was pierced with countless terrifying wounds that could no longer heal.
*Pfft!*
The Lord of Darkness's contorted face, filled with disbelief, knelt on the dark ground.
"How is this possible? I couldn't even withstand one of your moves. I am not reconciled, ahhhhhh!"
The heavens and earth shook, and darkness wailed.
The Lord of Darkness, unwilling to perish in such a humiliating manner, still wished to fight.
Mu Changqing's grace was peerless, his expression disdainful. He spoke calmly.
"Before my appearance, all beings were controlled by fate. After my appearance, all beings are controlled by me. Why struggle in your death throes?"
With a single word, the billions of sword lights stirred the primordial chaos, and celestial light raged.
The sword light transformed into supreme eternity, weaving a supreme judgment that descended.
It suppressed and killed from the highest heavens, its killing intent soaring, brilliant and dangerous.
*Rumble!*
It was as if the sky had collapsed, and the Lord of Darkness was crushed into nothingness.
From this day forward, darkness ceased to exist, leaving only light.
