Chapter 734: Mysterious Young Man!

The Dark Creature, watching Ye Wuque slowly sit up amid the smoke and dust, saw a clear surprise flash in its abyss‑like eyes.

"Even the Supreme Boundless Great Perfection would inevitably die and suffer body‑and‑spirit annihilation under a single finger of mine. Yet you, an ant in the Immortal King realm, are still alive. Interesting… truly interesting."

"It seems your brilliance and your uniqueness are still beyond my expectations."

"I am becoming increasingly interested in the secrets you carry."

As the words fell, he slowly raised his right hand.

This time, it is no longer a simple single finger.

But a whole palm!

As his palm rose, the entire heavens and earth of the No Return Path darkened instantly!

A Dark Great Hand that covers the ancient heavens and shrouds the whole No Return Path slowly took shape in the void!

Upon the palm swirled the primordial runes of endless darkness, together with the terrifying great power that can annihilate worlds!

Just the formation of the palm caused the spacetime of the No Return Path to collapse completely, and all Tiandao laws were utterly erased!

The distant Stellar Debris was crushed by this overwhelming pressure into the finest void!

This strike far surpasses the previous first finger!

It is truly a finishing move!

He no longer wishes to continue playing; he intends to utterly slay Ye Wuque, seize all the secrets he holds, and claim every Holy Law Origin!

"No!! Lord Ye!!"

The Dragon Emperor of the Nine Heavens stared at the Dark Great Hand that covered the heavens and earth, letting out a howl of utmost despair, his eyes even shedding blood‑tinged tears, "Lord Ye's talent is dazzling, the only hope of the Zhutian Wanjie! How could he die here at this moment! No!!"

If it were possible, he would rush forward without hesitation, even if it meant sacrificing his own old life, even if it were a moth flying into flame, even if it were meaningless; as long as he could shield Ye Wuque from this strike, he would not hesitate.

But he cannot!

He was nailed to the spot by that peerless pressure, unable to even move a single finger!

He could only watch helplessly as the Dark Great Hand came down hard on Ye Wuque!

Watching the hope of the Zhutian Wanjie about to be completely extinguished!

He again cast a hopeful gaze toward the direction of the Zhutian Wanjie, yet still there was nothing!

No reinforcements, no miracle!

However, what he did not see was.

Deep within the main road of the No Return Path, in a terrifying area concealed to the utmost, even the Divine Sense of the Dark Flying Ancestor could not detect.

There lay an ancient, unfathomable cave dwelling suffused with the primordial aura of Honghuang.

This cave was hidden in the deepest crevice of spacetime; the surrounding darkness laws dared not approach even a fraction, and even approaching within a hundred‑million‑li radius would instantly shatter and be utterly erased!

It seemed that within the cave lay an extremely terrifying forbidden place; once approached, Great Terror would descend, and even Tiandao law could not escape disaster!

The cave's gate was forged from a single block of Chaos primordial stone, etched with ancient patterns of Chaos Open Heaven; even a being of Ultimate Leap level, exhausting all its strength, could not break this door!

Around the cave, ancient runes covered the area; these runes were older than the Tiandao of the Zhutian Wanjie, being primordial runes that existed when Chaos first opened!

And inside the cave, there was a universe within!

It was a primordial small world independent of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Within the small world, mountains, rivers, sun, moon, stars—everything was complete, all in the form of Chaos at its inception!

The laws inside were the most primitive Chaos Great Dao, billions of times more profound than the laws of the outside Zhutian Wanjie!

In the small world grew countless Chaos Spirit Roots coveted even by Ultimate Leap beings, and several Chaos treasures radiating peerless pressure!

The entire small world's laws revolved slowly around its central point.

Atop the Chaos Lotus Platform at the very center of the small world sat the figure of a tall, majestic young man.

The man was tall and imposing, like a primeval deity that opened heaven and split earth; his face was stern, chiseled as if cut by knives and axes, sharply defined, exceptionally handsome, and his entire being exuded an ancient aura of overlooking the cycles of time and wielding the rise and fall of the heavens.

It was as if the endless cycles of reincarnation and epochal changes were merely fleeting clouds before his eyes.

He wore an ancient imperial robe, thick dust covering it to the point of petrification; evidently, he had been here, eyes closed and seated in meditation, for an unknown number of epochs, and even time had completely stalled upon him.

No breath leaked from his body; it was as if he had merged with the entire Chaos and the whole Tiandao.

The entire small world revolved slowly around him; he was the Tiandao itself, the Chaos itself!

And at this moment!

The young man, who had been seated for countless epochs, suddenly opened his eyes that had been closed for endless ages!

Boom!

Two razor‑sharp beams, like apocalyptic divine light, shot instantly from his eyes, piercing the cave, the endless spacetime, and the entire Chaos!

Under those two divine rays, the entire cave began to tremble violently!

The young man's pair of eyes were like two eternal, ten‑thousand‑year suns!

Within them swirled countless epochal changes, the birth and death of the Zhutian Wanjie, and the turning of the reincarnation wheel!

Where the light passed, the endless darkness vanished, and the entire Zhutian Wanjie seemed completely illuminated by those two divine rays!

The man slightly turned his neck, producing a sound like metal striking stone, then he spoke slowly, his voice calm and magnetic, resonating throughout the Chaos and the entire Zhutian Wanjie.

"Dark Clan, another immortal is restless again?"

"So noisy that it even woke me?"
