Chapter 704

Boom!

Boom—rumble!

Immediately after, all the powerful forces finally collided. At the moment of collision, the entire space seemed to be crushed by a giant hand, and the ancestral land of the Wu tribe was instantly shattered into dust under this unparalleled force.

The earth shook violently, the entire crust rapidly sank down a depth of a hundred thousand zhang, forming a vast, boundless, bottomless huge abyss.

Space cracks like ferocious huge mouths instantly appeared between heaven and earth, mercilessly swallowing countless living beings.

These beings were completely annihilated in body and spirit within the cracks, even their souls instantly evaporated, leaving not a trace.

The entire Land of Divine Grace violently trembled in this terrifying force collision, and the cracks like winding giant dragons wound around Unfinished Mountain, stretching across the entire Land of Divine Grace.

"Crack—crack!" In the sky, another huge space fissure suddenly appeared, this fissure bottomless, as if connected to endless void.

Countless waters of the Heavenly River surged down from the fissure, like a breach of the Heavenly River, instantly flooding the earth.

Boom!

At the same time, the flames underground did not yield, as fire dragons shot up from the ground, intertwining and colliding with the descending Heavenly River waters. When water met fire, a more intense and terrifying reaction instantly erupted.

"My God, is this the legendary power of the great calamity? Even space cannot heal itself! Hmm? What is that?" Ye Qin stood outside the battlefield, feeling from afar the overwhelming force that made him breathless.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to a strange giant net appearing in the sky.

This giant net flickered in and out of existence, seeming illusory yet exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

A black claw flickered in and out of the net, as if a mysterious giant beast lurking in the darkness.

At that moment, a majestic eye slowly appeared within the net. The eye was tightly closed, yet seemed as if it could awaken at any moment, and the aura it emitted gave Ye Qin an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Could this be the power of the Honghuang Heavenly Dao? Just a hint of its aura is already overwhelmingly strong—truly terrifying! But by reason, isn't the Heavenly Dao always in slumber? Even if this battle is so fierce, it merely causes some damage to heaven and earth; with the self-healing ability of the Honghuang world, these wounds will soon be mended."

Ye Qin secretly thought, his vision always keen; although this clash of power was extremely strong, it still fell far short of destroying the Honghuang world.

But he simply couldn't understand why, at this moment, the Heavenly Dao would faintly manifest.

However, just as Ye Qin was full of doubt, Mount Buzhou suddenly trembled violently again.

On Mount Buzhou, the environments long concealed by secret powers underwent a drastic transformation.

Originally hidden beneath mysterious powers, Mount Buzhou now revealed one mysterious cave abode after another, and numerous rare spiritual roots appeared before everyone's eyes; moreover, countless secret places nurturing spiritual treasures all came into view across this heaven and earth.

As that power continuously spread toward Mount Buzhou, a fiery-red rainbow like blazing flame and a pure moonlit radiance, like meteors, streaked across the sky; instantly, two mysterious figures appeared out of thin air on the summit of Mount Buzhou.

One of them was a disheveled Daoist wearing tattered red Daoist robes. His appearance seemed casual, but he tightly gripped a red gourd emitting scorching light; inside the gourd lay a small knife flashing with cold light. He lightly waved his sleeves, and in an instant, a matchless flame surged up like a rushing tide, instantly enveloping the entire Mount Buzhou, as if erecting an impregnable barrier that shut out all external forces attempting to intrude.

The other was an extraordinarily cold and elegant Daoist nun, looking about sixteen or seventeen, in the prime of youth, her whole body exuding an unparalleled floral splendor.

She gracefully waved her sleeve, and a clear, cold moonlit radiance poured out like water; wherever it reached, the destructive forces dissipated, as if purified by this gentle moonlight.

"Hehe, the Heavenly Dao faintly shows signs of manifestation, the Patriarch is about to emerge; it seems this world will become lively again. Ah, Wang Shu, our peaceful days are probably coming to an end!" The disheveled Daoist said with a hint of helplessness, forcing a smile.

"Lu Ya Dao Friend, please call me Wang Shu Dao Friend. Moreover, I don't know how your future will be, but from now on I only wish to cultivate in seclusion in the Broad Cold Palace." The cold and elegant Daoist nun spoke in a tone devoid of warmth, her eyes revealing unwavering resolve.

"Ah! Wang Shu, you still refuse to forgive me for failing to save your sister back then… but I truly gave it my all at the time. Besides, isn't she already reborn as a true spirit? As the Flower Goddess, even the Great Dao cannot erase her true spirit… alright, alright, I won't say more, okay?"

It turned out that these two mysterious figures were none other than the renowned Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya and the Moon Goddess Wang Shu.

"Never mind, let them fight to the death outside; it won't affect Mount Buzhou anyway. Let's go…" Lu Ya hadn't finished speaking when Wang Shu flashed away, vanishing without a trace. All that remained was Lu Ya shaking his head with a bitter smile: "This… fighting and killing, I'd rather be beaten to death. Fine, I'll go carefree as well!"

As Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya departed, he glanced—intentionally or not—toward the direction where Ye Qin was, the corner of his mouth slightly lifting to reveal a mysterious smile, then transformed into a dazzling flying rainbow that instantly vanished into the vast horizon.

"That fairy sister, why does her aura feel so familiar? That Daoist must be Chiming Dao Ancestor Lu Ya, right? The gourd in his hand—could it be the legendary Slay Immortal Gourd? Though I've heard that Slay Immortal Gourd is actually fruited from the gourd vines on Mount Buzhou later on." Ye Qin gazed toward the direction the two had departed, muttering to himself.

As time passed, this shocking clash of force finally settled into dust, and the violent aftershocks gradually dissipated.

At this point, looking around, only terrifying cracks and bottomless abysses remained on the earth.

In the sky, the space fissures previously torn open by mighty forces were slowly being mended by a mysterious power, and deep within the space, mysterious traces of the Heavenly Dao flickered faintly.

On the earth, the once mighty powerhouses now remained only a few battered corpses, barely clinging to the last vestige of life. Meanwhile, countless other living beings had long been reduced to dust by this terrifying force, scattering throughout heaven and earth.

Strangely, the Twelve Ancestral Wu who had been active on the battlefield had completely vanished, and even the Pangu Palace, symbolizing supreme authority, had disappeared without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.

At this moment, the entire heaven and earth seemed shrouded by a strange curtain, suddenly darkening. In an instant, all living beings appeared as if bound by an immobilization spell, utterly still. Those that had been frantically fleeing and restless everywhere, as if suppressed by some immensely powerful force, panicked and rushed back to their nests to hide.

The whole Honghuang world seemed to have fallen into a stillness of time and space, eerily silent enough to send chills down one's spine. This uncanny calm, like the suffocating stillness before a storm, foretold an even more terrifying catastrophe about to descend.

"This is too strange! Could the Pangu Palace have its own consciousness? How could it just vanish? And what is the Honghuang Heavenly Dao up to? It seems on the verge of awakening, yet still appears to be asleep—truly unfathomable!"

That day, countless doubts surged like a tide into Ye Qin's heart. He increasingly felt that the Honghuang world he once knew had, overnight, completely broken free from his previous understanding, becoming alien and mysterious.

"Hehe, Fodemo, Jieyin Zhunti, Di Jun Dong Huang, plus the Dragon Emperor and the Nether River Old Ancestor—this is truly a huge haul! If I could devour them all, I don't know how much my cultivation level would rise."

Ye Qin was about to unleash his Palm World, sucking Fodemo and the others into his palm, when suddenly, a long‑brewing heavenly‑earth upheaval erupted, tearing open the curtain.

A heaven‑earth pressure so overwhelming it made one breathless descended without warning, instantly locking Ye Qin in place, rendering him immobile.

At this moment, the whole heaven and earth seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, undergoing a drastic change. The atmosphere between heaven and earth became unusually oppressive, as if the entire world were shrouded in a heavy haze. Time and space seemed to freeze, the whole heaven and earth as if sealed by an intangible seal, plunging into dead silence.

Ye Qin still held the posture of preparing to cast a spell, unable to move, only his Divine Law‑Breaking Eyes kept spinning rapidly, flashing an eerie green light. The powerful Carefree Wanderer aura on his body surged like restless waves, the twelve primal sources within him flowed wildly, and countless Dao runes glittered with mysterious light.

Yet even so, he could not break free from this mighty heaven‑earth bond, only able to watch helplessly as the astonishing transformation unfolded before his eyes.

Only see in the sky countless huge black claws, like demonic hands reaching out from the depths of hell, continually appearing out of nowhere.

And the eye symbolizing the majesty of the Heavenly Dao finally slowly opened.

As it opened, bolts of destructive power capable of annihilating heaven and earth, like roaring dragons, burst forth.

A powerful will filled with judgment emanated from that Eye of Heavenly Dao, instantly enveloping the entire Honghuang world.

Under the shroud of this powerful will, all living beings in the Honghuang world seemed to be regarded as sinners, about to undergo a harsh judgment.

Crackle!

In an instant, countless purple lightning pillars poured down from all directions of the Honghuang world like a torrential downpour. Each of these purple lightning pillars was immensely huge, with a diameter of several zhang, covering an extraordinarily vast area, stretching across millions of li.

These lightning pillars seemed alive, intertwining with each other, communicating the vital energy throughout the Honghuang heaven and earth, possessing power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

What is astonishing is that the positions where these purple lightning pillars fell happened to be exactly where the hidden chaos spring eyes deep within the Honghuang lay.

Countless purple lightning pillars completely covered each chaos spring eye, as if to utterly exterminate the mysterious will lurking within them.

Roar!

Roar!

One deafening roar after another came from the Chaos Spring Eye. Immediately after, huge and ferocious Chaos heads slowly emerged from the spring eye, letting out angry roars toward the majestic Heavenly Dao Eye in the sky.

"Roar! Where is the Tribulation Qi? Where exactly is the Tribulation Qi? I'm just a little bit away, howl! How is this Honghuang Heavenly Dao so powerful? Damn Pangu, damn Primordial Divine Spirits, if I still had my former Cultivation Level, I would surely destroy this Heavenly Dao completely!"

A voice full of anger and resentment came from the largest Chaos Spring Eye.

All that could be seen was a strangely shaped monster slowly flying out of the spring eye, appearing before everyone.

This monster resembled a dog, its whole body covered in long hair, its limbs thick and powerful, exuding a chilling aura.

"Howl! Chaos Elder, let's go up together and destroy this Heavenly Dao..."

"Destroy the Heavenly Dao!"

Shouts of anger rose and fell from all directions.

Along with these voices, strands of mysterious and powerful Chaos Qi spread gradually across the world like a surging tide.

"This time, we will surely break free from the suppression of Honghuang Heaven and Earth, rush into Chaos, establish a nation for our Malevolent Spirits, and thereafter live by devouring the world!" the monster called Chaos Elder shouted loudly, "Now the Honghuang Heavenly Dao has not yet fully awakened; I used Chaos Qi from outside to break the seal, and you take the chance to escape from inside!"

It turned out that this monster was the most powerful existence among the ancient Chaos Fiendish Spirits—Chaos.

Only to see it chanting under its breath, Chaos Qi surging throughout its body, it suddenly blasted toward those Chaos Spring Eyes.

With a tremendous boom, wherever the Chaos Qi reached, those once indestructible Chaos Spring Eyes were shattered one after another.

Howl——

Roar!

An eight-winged Chaos Primal Dragon of immeasurable size, stretching a hundred thousand zhang in length, like a meteor streaking across the sky, suddenly shot into the heavens and let out a deafening roar.

Upon closer inspection, this dragon's head resembled a camel, its horns a deer, its eyes a rabbit, its ears an ox, its neck a snake, its scales a carp, its claws an eagle, its palms a tiger; it bore eighty-one scales on its back, exactly matching the nine-nine yang number, and its whole body exuded a mighty and ancient aura.

With a light flap of its four pairs of enormous fleshly wings, it instantly flew an unknown number of hundreds of millions of li.

In the midst of turning clouds and rain, in the blink of an eye it arrived beneath the Eye of the Heavenly Dao. Only to see it open its blood‑filled maw and violently expel a mighty surge of Chaos Qi. This Chaos Qi rapidly condensed in the air into an exceedingly sharp Chaos Spear, like a black bolt of lightning, which it fiercely thrust toward the Eye of the Heavenly Dao.

This Chaos Spear was incredibly sharp, imbued with powerful Chaos Qi; wherever it passed, even the mysterious Net of the Heavenly Dao could not hinder its advance. (End of chapter)
