Chapter 774: You Are All Insects

"Roar..."

Accompanied by the roar of a Heavenly Dragon, a massive Heavenly Dragon battle soul soared into the sky.

Standing upon it was a powerful battle soul at the peak of the Against Heaven Realm, who let out a heroic and tragic roar: "The strongest Dragon Knight in history, Luojiade, has returned! I have waited for this day for a long time; I shall use my remaining life to participate in this final battle!"

"The strongest fire element deity in history, Lusiya, has returned; I shall use my final remaining life to participate in the ultimate battle!"

"I, Wuji Mozun, have returned!"

"I, Piaomiao Tianzun, have returned!"

Each shout was like a great bell, shaking people's hearts and souls!

Since the creation of the world, the Shenmu World has undergone countless cycles of reincarnation, and no one knows how many Against Heaven Realm powerhouses and Heavenly Tier experts have been born.

Summoned by the souls of millions of Gods and Demons, they have all returned.

Although they only have one day of life.

But to slay Heaven, it is enough.

"Shifang Juesha Valley!"

"Liu Mo Suotian Diagram!"

"Qisha Luosha Prison!"

"Yinyang Shitian Wheel!"

Following the shouts of the Demon Lord, Ghost Lord, Dugu Baitian, and others, one Taigu absolute-kill array after another emerged from every corner of this world like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

The real Great Boundary formed by the God and Demon Map and the Lunhui Diagram encompassed everything, and in the end, it actually began to devour the Heavenly Dao.

"Hmph, moths to a flame!"

The voice of the Heavenly Dao remained indifferent, and endless World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder poured down from above the nine heavens.

Yet it could not stop the God and Demon Map that was soaring into the sky.

In the end, the ninth layer of Heaven was shattered.

Above the nine heavens, a vast and boundless will coiled, surrounded by the pervasive power of the Heavenly Dao.

"Very good, it has been a long time since I felt such a threat."

The voice of the Heavenly Dao was cold.

As His voice fell, endless World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder rained down like a violent storm.

No, it was even more ferocious than a storm, submerging the God and Demon Map.

Even with Yin Qi and the others supporting it, the God and Demon Map was trembling violently and began to show cracks.

It seemed unable to bear the burden and was on the verge of shattering.

"The Heavenly Dao is too strong; only a suicide attack can inflict maximum damage on Him. Everyone, I, Xuantian Xianzun, shall take my leave first. If there is an afterlife, we shall meet again."

A battle soul of the Against Heaven Realm cried out urgently.

He controlled a peerless array, leaped out of the God and Demon Map, and charged toward the Heavenly Dao above the nine heavens.

Boom—!

Before he could even get close to the will of the Heavenly Dao, his battle soul and the peerless killing array shattered.

"You need not be anxious; we have already passed on, so let us lead the charge."

Another battle soul of the Against Heaven Realm, piloting a peerless killing array, soared into the sky; behind him were dozens of Against Heaven Realm powerhouses and thousands of Heavenly Tier experts, all of them generously meeting their deaths.

Boom—!

They launched suicide attacks, thoroughly stirring up the vast and endless power of the Heavenly Dao above the nine heavens.

Each explosion weakened a large portion of the Heavenly Dao's power.

Yin Qi was taking action.

Utilizing these suicide attacks by the powerhouses, Yin Qi controlled the Hongmeng Insects to reproduce rapidly; he did not seek to devour the Heavenly Dao in the end, only to interfere with the opponent.

In less than half an hour, thousands of newly resurrected battle souls had all fallen again.

But their deaths forced the Heavenly Dao to pay an extremely heavy price; He finally stopped holding back and deployed the World-Grinding Disk, smashing it fiercely toward the God and Demon Map, nearly shattering it.

"Everyone, it is our turn to take the stage!"

Dugu Baitian shouted, his voice tragic.

From the moment they laid out their plans, they never thought they could survive killing the Heavenly Dao.

The Demon Lord, Chen Zhan, Ghost Lord, Human King, Chen Zu, Shoumu Laoren, and the Starry Sky battle soul all nodded, their eyes resolute, having prepared themselves mentally to meet their deaths.

Qijue Tiannv and Dugu Xiaoxuan looked at Yin Qi with lingering attachment, tears streaming down.

Yin Qi, however, smiled and said: "Everyone, it is still too early to die. You have plotted for ages, and I have also planned for a lifetime. Now, obey my command: detonate all your treasures and throw them at the Heavenly Dao."

The Human Emperor Armor, Xuanhuang Flag, Divine Blade, and hundreds of other artifacts of Heavenly Tier or higher were all hurled at the Heavenly Dao by Yin Qi.

Boom—!

The Human Emperor Armor self-destructed, its power no less than a suicide attack from an Against Heaven Realm powerhouse.

The power of the Heavenly Dao was once again shattered by more than half.

Everyone was stunned.

The Demon Lord then laughed heartily, his demonic might surging, and said excitedly: "Good, good. Yin Qi, I truly did not guess wrong; you still have trump cards. Since that is the case, we shall all obey your command. General-Summoning Platform, go!"

With a wave of his large hand, he launched the General-Summoning Platform toward the Heavenly Dao.

Everyone else also laughed joyfully, hurling all sorts of artifacts at the Heavenly Dao as if they were worthless, and even the two God and Demon Maps were detonated, causing the Heavenly Dao significant damage.

"Chen Nan, it is your turn!"

Yin Qi shouted: "Success or failure rests on this one move."

Chen Nan had long been prepared; he took the spirits and resentment transformed from all living beings and, as the final strike, launched it at the Heavenly Dao.

Boom—!

A terrifying light of death pierced through the nine heavens and struck into the Heavenly Dao.

"Ah!" the Heavenly Dao shrieked, its voice finally showing emotional fluctuations: "Bugs, you are all bugs, you all deserve to die."

"Bugs? Then I'll let you know the power of bugs."

Yin Qi sneered.

With a thought, he activated the Hongmeng Insect.

Instantly, countless Hongmeng Insects surged into the will of the Heavenly Dao.

"What is this ghost thing!"

The Heavenly Dao was both shocked and furious; it felt its pure will rapidly disappearing, and no matter how it exerted itself, it could not stop the devouring of the Hongmeng Insects, so it could only choose to sever its arm to survive.

Splat.

Nearly half of the Heavenly Dao's will was severed and transmitted into the endless void.

"Law of Heaven and Earth!"

"Secret of All!"

Please... you... bookmark... the... book...!

"Slashing Heaven Blade!"

Just as the Heavenly Dao was severing its arm to survive, Yin Qi unleashed the Law of Heaven and Earth, his entire body rapidly expanding until he was billions of feet tall.

The Law of Heaven and Earth is a top-tier great divine ability very popular in Honghuang.

By unleashing this technique, one can increase combat power by multiples.

Especially for the Wu Clan, who rely on their powerful physical bodies, unleashing this technique is even more handy and ferociously fierce.

Yin Qi had cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Art, and by unleashing the Law of Heaven and Earth, he could increase his combat power by at least five times; at the same time, he triggered the Secret of All, causing his combat power to soar exponentially.

Although it did not reach the exaggerated five times ten, it still increased by twenty or thirty times.

At this moment, Yin Qi's combat power reached its peak.

A terrifying aura surged between heaven and earth, causing the surrounding space to crackle, as if it could not withstand his existence; finally, Yin Qi unleashed the Slashing Heaven Blade and struck it into the Heavenly Dao.

The Slashing Heaven Blade exists specifically for slashing Heaven.

Wherever it passed, space annihilated, and the void across most of the sky crumbled, before plunging into the depths of the nine heavens and slashing onto the Heavenly Dao's will that had just severed its arm to survive.

The Slashing Heaven Blade shattered with a bang, turning into pure resentment of all living beings, and annihilated along with the Heavenly Dao's will.

Boom—!

Explosions rang out above the nine heavens, and a faint, unwilling voice of the Heavenly Dao seemed to drift over.

The endless void shattered one after another, completely turning into nothingness.

"The Heavenly Dao, is dead?"

The Demon Lord was somewhat incredulous, staring blankly at the ten-thousand-foot-tall Yin Qi.

Not only him, but Dugu Baitian and the others were all the same.

They had already prepared themselves to die, yet the Heavenly Dao had been resolved by Yin Qi in a few quick strokes; they did not know what means Yin Qi had used to actually make the Heavenly Dao sever its arm to survive and fall into complete disarray.

"It should be dead!"

The crowd was also somewhat unsure, feeling as if they were in a dream.

Huff! Huff!

Yin Qi panted heavily, his figure rapidly shrinking until it soon returned to normal size.

Although the previous strike was powerful, the consumption was also great.

Just at this moment, a vast will appeared once again, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.

The Heavenly Dao was not dead!

Thinking of this, their gazes became firm, each of their auras surging, preparing for a final life-and-death battle.

Just as they were about to strike, a vast voice came from above the nine heavens, likewise without any emotional fluctuation, yet no longer cold, but instead brilliant like the great sun: "I am the new Heavenly Dao synthesized from the willpower of all living beings."

"The new Heavenly Dao, we succeeded!"

The crowd was both shocked and happy.

The Heavenly Dao cannot be killed, unless there are no living beings in the world.

As long as there are still living beings in the world, the thoughts of all living beings will aggregate into a new Heavenly Dao.

"I am already aware of the matter of the evil Heavenly Dao. To prevent such a tragedy from happening again, I am willing to strike the Heavenly Heart Seal into the body of one of you. The person who masters the Heavenly Heart Seal cannot dominate all living beings, but can easily shatter me."

The newly born Heavenly Dao is the most impartial, without any selfish thoughts.

The crowd nodded one after another, and finally looked at Yin Qi.

This time, in slaying the evil Heavenly Dao, Yin Qi had the greatest merit and was also the one with the highest cultivation among them.

As long as enough time passes, the Heavenly Dao could potentially be infected by the evil thoughts of living beings again and turn back into an evil Heavenly Dao; therefore, controlling the Heavenly Heart Seal to hold the life and death of the Heavenly Dao is very necessary.

Yin Qi shook his head: "My combat power is the strongest, so the Heavenly Heart Seal should even less be controlled by me. It would be better to hand it to Chen Nan; I believe he will do very well."

The war to slay Heaven had ended; although he would not leave immediately, he would eventually leave after all.

Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, the Ghost Lord, and others exchanged glances, then all nodded slowly, indicating their agreement with Yin Qi's proposal.

Chen Nan is a good friend of Yin Qi and the son of Chen Zhan; he is also Dugu Xiaobai, the son of Dugu Baitian's past life; he is the lover of Yuxin in this life, and the Ghost Lord is Yuxin's teacher in this life.

It can be said that Chen Nan is the communication hub for all the supreme powerhouses present.

Chen Nan immediately felt the pressure was immense.

However, he did not decline, but just nodded firmly.

Seeing that a candidate had been chosen, the Heavenly Dao struck the Heavenly Heart Seal into Chen Nan's body.

Yin Qi said: "Heavenly Dao, do you have a way to gather their consciousnesses again?"

The Heavenly Dao said: "Very well. But they cannot be resurrected immediately; this requires a long period of time. I shall now take the combined strength of all living beings and scatter it toward this broken Boundary, to coalesce their shattered spiritual consciousnesses."

In the end, this broken Boundary was refined and merged into the Dark Continent. (End of chapter)
