Chapter 738: World‑Ending War

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor nearby, seeing that step taken, leapt across the endless void, actively charging at the majestic figure of the Dark Flying Ancestor; the face that had been written with despair instantly changed color, showing extreme delight, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He had just been utterly hopeless.

He thought that today he and Ye Wuque would both die at the hands of the Dark Flying Ancestor, with no chance of luck.

But he never imagined that at this life‑and‑death moment, this legendary being would personally descend!

Tai Shi!

It's Tai Shi!

That name rang in his mind like a thunderclap, making his spirit quake violently.

He has lived endless years, coming from the ancient era, having seen countless Heavenly Pride great beings, countless supreme masters, and even having crossed paths with several of the strongest who once roamed the heavens.

Yet before Tai Shi, those beings seemed utterly tiny, utterly insignificant.

Because Tai Shi is the truly legendary figure who, long before the Eternal Time and Space, already spanned the Zhutian Wanjie and countless reincarnations as an unparalleled titan!

He is recognized across the Zhutian Wanjie as one of the strongest since Chaos first opened.

He alone upheld the defense of the Zhutian Wanjie, repelled the Dark clan's invasion, and saved countless universes as a savior!

In the deepest Dragon Clan annals, the records of Tai Shi are few but weighty, filled with endless reverence.

The ancient text states: Tai Shi, born at the beginning of Chaos, is the source of the Dao, holding the Initial Dao; to him, time, years, Zhutian, Tiandao, and reincarnation hold no meaning.

Such a being has long transcended the Three Realms and Five Elements, escaped the cycle of birth and death, truly living as long as heaven and earth, shining with sun and moon, and can even be said to be eternity itself.

This defying‑heaven titan personally descended upon the No Return Path, and even took the initiative against the Dark Flying Ancestor to save Ye Wuque!

A storm rose in the Nine Heavens Dragon Emperor's heart; he lifted his head, gazing with utmost reverence at Tai Shi's towering silhouette, his eyes blazing with fervor, as if beholding the ruler of the heavens, the sole of eternity.

Even though he has lived endless years and witnessed countless rises and falls, before the truly supreme Tai Shi, a timeless super‑titan, he is merely a junior, able only to look up, lacking even the courage to stare straight.

At this moment, above the void, Tai Shi took a step and stood before the Dark Flying Ancestor.

That towering, endless, epoch‑spanning aura surged out like a reversed galaxy above the Nine Heavens, vast and overwhelming!

This aura lacks the Dark Flying Ancestor's violent ferocity, yet possesses an unstoppable, unmatched absolute might.

Where it passes, all Dark Void instantly dissolves, and every World‑destroying Dao Rule shatters piece by piece.

It sweeps grandly, ravaging the endless spacetime road, shaking the Eternal Time and Space!

Even within the other nine No Return Main Paths of the No Return Path, the terrifying beings that have lain dormant for ages were stirred by this aura, turning their gazes toward the Dark Main Path, their eyes filled with shock and dread.

In the next instant, Tai Shi struck.

He brushed out a massive hand, without any earth‑shaking fanfare, just a simple palm seal aimed at the Dark Flying Ancestor, killing intent.

Yet this seemingly ordinary palm harbored the boundless Great Power of the heavens.

The palm seal advanced slowly, containing within it the supreme scene of Chaos' birth and the division of heaven and earth; the complete reincarnation of stars' evolution and the universe's birth and death; the endless ages of the Six Paths' cycles of sentient joy and sorrow; and moreover an initial breath that seems to originate from the very dawn of the ancient epoch, older than Chaos itself, flowing gently within the seal.

With one palm, the heavens return to their source, and all ways submit.

This palm seemed not to be struck by Tai Shi, but by the very will of the Zhutian Wanjie, of this chaotic spacetime, suppressing the Dark Flying Ancestor.

Where that initial breath passed, even the void was purified into primordial chaos; the Dark Flying Ancestor's all‑consuming dark barrier was pierced instantly like paper, offering no resistance.

This palm is no mere clash of force, but the crushing of the Dao, the suppression of the source.

The Initial Dao is the mother of all ways; every Dao stems from the Initial Dao.

Even the Dark Flying Ancestor's World‑destroying Dao is merely a branch derived from the Initial Dao, inherently restrained by it.

Watching the slowly advancing palm seal, the Dark Flying Ancestor's expression finally grew exceedingly solemn.

He could clearly feel the terrifying Great Power contained within that palm.

Even though he has entered the Ultimate Leap Realm for endless years, and his strength has risen dramatically since before the ages, before this palm he still senses a heavy threat.

Yet even so, no hint of fear appears on his face.

Who is he?

He is the Dark Flying Ancestor!

He is the famed Extinction Sequence of the Dark clan!

He is the supreme being perched atop the Dark clan's pyramid!

He is the World‑destroying Demon Lord who has personally slain countless great beings of the Zhutian Wanjie!

Throughout his life he has endured countless wars, encountered countless terrifying beings, and even before the ages, when faced with Tai Shi's crushing, he never flinched, let alone now.

Even sharing the Ultimate Leap level, even if Tai Shi wields the Initial Dao, he would never fear the opponent!

"Tai Shi!"

"We both rank at the Ultimate Leap tier; do you really think I would be scared of you?!"

The Dark Flying Ancestor let out a earth‑shaking roar, a sound like ten‑million demonic souls howling at once, instantly sweeping the entire No Return Path, shaking the surrounding void into fissures.

In the next instant, his inner Dark Origin erupted completely, without reservation!

Boom—

Endless darkness surged out like a tsunami, instantly covering billions of miles of void, threatening to swallow the entire Dark Main Path.

Within that darkness, countless universes were in Jiemie, countless lives wailed, countless World‑destroying Dao Rules spun wildly, and a terrifying, murderous aura capable of erasing the Zhutian Wanjie erupted grandly, rivaling Tai Shi's initial breath.

Behind him, a World‑destroying Demon Statue towering billions of miles instantly materialized.

The statue was pitch‑black, enshrouded in endless Jimo Dao Rule; its eyes held the end of reincarnation, the extinction of all things; its hands cradled an infinite dark universe, and with a single inhale it seemed able to devour the whole Zhutian Wanjie.

A terrifying World‑destroying Aura radiated massively from the statue.

This is the Dark Flying Ancestor's true Demon Aspect, forged from his cultivation of the Endless Era and the core of countless Jiemie universes into a World‑destroying Demon Aspect!

The Dark Flying Ancestor stared dead at Tai Shi, his eyes brimming with endless darkness, flashing with a burst of mad murderous intent and extreme arrogance; he roared loudly, his voice cracking through the void like thunder:

"Before the ages, you could suppress many of our clan's great beings because you held the advantage of the Initial Dao! But now, after ten thousand ages, I am no longer the self I was then! Today, I will show you how far I have grown over these ages!"

"Today… I will annihilate you! I will cast you to fall forever in the No Return Path, with no reincarnation!"

The moment the words fell, the Dark Flying Ancestor moved.

He clenched both fists, the Dark Void raging around his body wildly gathered onto his fists, and the apocalyptic demon statue behind him simultaneously raised the giant fist capable of supporting the dark universe; coiled on the fist's edge was the Annihilation Power that could erase the Wan Gu Lun Hui, bearing a world‑shattering might, and he slammed it toward Tai Shi's Palm Seal with a thunderous crash!

Boom!!!

An earth‑shaking, epoch‑defining roar instantly burst on the Dark Main Path of the No Return Path!

Tai Shi's initial Palm Seal and Dark Flying Ancestor's apocalyptic demon fist collided violently in the Void!

The two terrifying forces, both having reached the Ultimate One Jump Tier, at this moment unleashed themselves completely without reservation!

At the instant of collision, the vast Void spanning billions of miles instantly shattered, turning into the most Primordial Chaos.

At this moment, the Time line was completely scrambled; past, present, and future, countless fragments of Time overlapped wildly.

Countless parallel universes surrounding them were instantly born and then instantly erased by the aftershock of the collision, leaving not a trace.

The terrifying shockwave generated by the collision swept outward in all directions, rolling like a massive tide; wherever it passed, the Dark barriers of the No Return Path cracked inch by inch, and the Dark Creatures lurking deep in the Void could not even utter a scream before the aftershock crushed them into dust, causing Body and Spirit Annihilation.

Even the remaining Jiuda Wugui Zhulu of the No Return Path trembled violently under this terrifying shockwave; the Dark Experts stationed on each Main Road changed complexion, exerting all their strength to invoke the Primordial, reinforcing the Main Road's barriers for fear of being affected by the aftershock.

At the center of the collision, the Dark Shadows of Tai Shi and Dark Flying Ancestor were completely devoured by endless Chaos and an Energy Storm.

Only those two cross‑ancient, peerlessly terrifying auras continued to collide, clash, and grind, each collision triggering violent tremors across the entire No Return Path.

A world‑shaking battle capable of rattling ten thousand ages and affecting Zhutian erupted fully at this moment!

Below, Ye Wuque and the Nine Sky Dragon Emperor, protected by the initial Light Dome that Tai Shi had set in advance, watched from within as beyond the dome the shattered Void, the birth‑and‑death of the universe, and the collision of the two ultimate terrifying forces unfolded, their faces filled with profound shock.

They knew clearly that this great war would certainly not end so simply.

The grudges that spanned ages before now will finally be settled completely on this No Return Path today.

And the outcome of this great war will inevitably affect the entire Zhutian Wanjie and the future direction of the entire Darkness clan.

No one knows how many terrifying beings lurking in the ten‑thousand‑year Darkness will be unleashed by this world‑shaking war, nor what boundless storm sweeping Zhutian it will raise.
