The repeated collisions happened faster and faster as they grew in intensity. Yi Yun’s battle with the Ancestor God rent the world asunder.
The Ancestor God’s battle ax began showing signs of cracking. Even such a divine armament was unable to withstand Yi Yun’s nomological sword.
And as the density of cracks increased, a loud boom was heard as if something within the black ax had been slashed apart. The seal shattered as millions of souls surged out like a tidal wave.
These were the wraiths that Ancestor God had killed and sealed within his battle ax over hundreds of millions of years.
He had used potent forces to bind these wraiths and use their powers for his own. But at that moment in time, with the sealing powers shattered, all the wraiths escaped and charged in one direction—right at the Ancestor God. They gnawed at him, venting all their grievances that had been building up for hundreds of millions of years!
The powers of ghouls stemmed from their grievances, and at this moment, the backlash of billions of souls and their self-destructive rage struck at a critical juncture, right when the Ancestor God was being suppressed by Yi Yun. Even if they failed to injure him, their assault still affected his judgment.
“A murderer will be murdered, a world annihilator will suffer the wrath of the Heavenly Dao. Ancestor God, I will obliterate you today!”
Yi Yun let out a long cry and a massive wheel appeared behind him.
There were all kinds of demon gods on the wheel. It looked like the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence, but it was completely different. It was more like a galactic vortex that had just been born.
Yi Yun’s Dao of Major Destruction came from the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch. The demon gods in the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence symbolized destruction, while a considerable portion of Yi Yun’s Dao of Creation came from his own insights.
Creation and destruction was the tempo of the universe.
After Yi Yun combined the two together, the 10000 Demon Wheel of Existence he produced would be more aptly called the Wheel of Creation and Destruction. It was equivalent to the universe itself.
The moment the black wheel appeared, it attracted countless bolt of lightning. Each bolt of lightning extended for millions of kilometers as they illuminated the Multiverse rift. Each bolt of lightning was sufficient to blow up stars!
“This is a… Heavenly Tribulation?”
“Did the potency of his strength trigger a punishment from the heavens?”
People were astonished. The Heavenly Tribulation was attracted by Yi Yun’s Martial Dao. The scale of a Heavenly Tribulation was no longer limited to the Chaos Heavens, but swept through the massive Multiverse rift.
Compared to a Heavenly Tribulation of this scale, the Fey tribulations and Ghost tribulations that Fey Thearchs or Ghost Thearchs experienced were starkly different and completely trivial. If they were to attempt to transcend such a tribulation, they would be instantly pulverized without leaving anything behind.
“Boom!”
The lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation smote down as the Chaos Heavens trembled in return.
When everyone felt that the Heavenly Tribulation would attack indiscriminately, another shocking scene happened. All the lightning of the Heavenly lightning gathered within Yi Yun’s Wheel of Creation and Destruction!
Yi Yun’s Martial Dao had triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Heavenly Tribulation was completely at Yi Yun’s beck and call.
The Wheel of Creation and Destruction struck down as the Ancestor God with his flailing golden hair charged up with battle ax in hand.
“Ka-cha!”
Divine blood splattered as everyone widened their eyes. This scene shocked everyone down to their very soul.
The Ancestor God’s arm had been cleaved off!
The thousand-foot-long dark-golden arm was as heavy as a mountain. The Ancestor God’s body could be said to be the most resilient object in the universe, but now, it had been sliced off by Yi Yun’s nomological forces!
His arm fell to the ground, the impact cratering the land. This scene was like red-hot metal branding a piece of ice. The ground could not bear the weight of the Ancestor God’s arm as it began to melt away.
As immense amount of mud and stone melted, the energies stored within the land began surging towards the Ancestor God’s arm.
The Ancestor God grinned nefariously despite having an arm lopped off.
“You are truly impressive to be able to slice off my arm, but that doesn’t do a thing to me. The Chaos Heavens cannot withstand the power of my arm. Unless you completely destroy that arm, it will sink deep into the Chaos Heavens’ core and independently absorb energy till it develops its strength, to the point of becoming another avatar that can fuse with me! When that happens, I’ll have all my powers restored. I would even have my strength enhanced!”
As the Ancestor God spoke, he held the battle ax horizontally across his chest with one arm.
Clearly, if Yi Yun attempted to destroy the Ancestor God’s arm, the Ancestor God would launch an attack and not give Yi Yun the chance.
All the Godly Monarchs drew a gasp when they saw this scene. The Ancestor God was just too powerful. How terrifying was Yi Yun’s strike that it could slice off the Ancestor God’s arm? But even after doing this impressive feat, it did not deal much damage to the Ancestor God.
This defensive and regenerative ability left them in despair.
However, Yi Yun wasn’t surprised.
The Ancestor God had cultivated to an extremely high realm. If one were to use astronomical bodies as an analogy, the Ancestor God was like a black hole. He could devour the other astronomical bodies that came close to it. Even a mere arm of his would absorb the Chaos Heavens’ nomological powers if it landed in the Chaos Heavens.
Although the Chaos Heavens was massive, its energy was too diluted and unfocused. Only an expert like Yi Yun could bring out the full powers of the Chaos Heavens.
“Your arm is indeed powerful, but it is not your main body after all. Once it left your body, it is no longer as unassailable as before.”
With nomological sword in hand, Yi Yun did not take any action. However, his expression was one of utmost confidence.
The Ancestor God sneered and just as he was about to mock Yi Yun, his expression changed.
He lowered his head suddenly and at his feet, the arm which had sank into the ground seemed to enter a boggy marsh and stopped sinking.
The pale golden luster of the arm gradually weakened as its powers rapidly drained!
Following that, from the middle of the arm, around where the elbow was, a black circular halo spread out. Due to the halo, the energy lusters of the arm completed faded away and the arm began to slowly rot.
This scene was as if the passing of billions of years was compressed into an instant. The Ancestor God’s arm which had been cultivated to an extremum was rotting!
“How could this be!?”
The Ancestor God felt astounded. His lifespan was already almost equivalent to the more supreme of Great Worlds. Even after his death, his body would remained preserved for all eternity.
But now, there was no more eternity!
In just seconds, the Ancestor God’s arm completely rotted away. And at this moment, a dark red bead flew out of his arm, deep red like a leech bloated with his blood.
As one of the three Universe seeds, the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead was the amalgamation of Spirit in the three major laws of Spirit, Qi, and Soul!
So-called “Spirit” referred to flesh and blood. It comprised everything, be it the universe or life’s flesh and blood.
When Yi Yun slashed down with his sword, he had embedded the Primordial Chaos Spirit Bead in the Ancestor God’s arm. And after the Ancestor God’s arm was separated from his main body, it was basically an ownerless object. Just an arm alone was unable to withstand the combined assault of Yi Yun’s laws and the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead.
Therefore, the arm had been devoured by the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead!
The essence within had been robbed by the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead and the remaining laws, Origins energy, and remnant lifeblood powers scattered and fused with the Chaos Heavens.
Instantly, the rotting arm rapidly burgeoned in size.
This was because the arm contained too much power. Even if the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead had siphoned off more than 90% of its powers, there was still a lot left.
Without any nomological restraints, the energy was no longer compressed as it naturally spread.
Soon, it reached a length of a thousand feet, increasing in orders of magnitudes without any cessation.
After the arm lost its luster, it turned into the color of dirt. Looking from afar, the Ancestor God’s arm had become a huge mountain range!
It was hundreds of thousands of feet tall and hundreds of thousands of kilometers long. This massive mountain range was filled with rich Spirit Qi and was an absolute wonderland!
Such a wonderland would attract countless sects to station themselves here and use such a wonderland to nurture disciples. Not only so, with time, the wonderland would produce many natural treasures and rare beasts. It could even become a marvelous mystic realm.
Hundreds of millions of years later, illustrious Martial Dao heritage could appear here, giving birth to many powerful mighty figures!
Having anticipated this scene, Yi Yun felt wistful. “The Heavenly Dao’s evolution is about formation, existence, disintegration, and emptiness. What you took away ultimately needs to be returned. All of this is fated. You… will not be able to destroy the Heavenly Dao!”
Yi Yun finally understood why the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch had not taken away the three Universe seeds when he left the Multiverse he was in. It was not only because of the nomological restraints, since it was possible that the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch could defy the laws and forcefully take away the Universe seeds. Yet, he didn’t do so… probably because he understood the reason that the key elements of a Multiverse ultimately belonged to the Multiverse.
A warrior cultivated in martial arts their entire life, living a heaven-defying trajectory as they escaped Samsara. However, they could not bring about the destruction of the world itself or betray their ancestral heritage. The three Universe seeds did not belong to the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, nor did they belong to Yi Yun. It was no one’s, because they were meant to give rise to a brand new Universe. It was a key component of a Universe’s Samsara.
A warrior ultimately had to rely on himself. Today, Yi Yun was only borrowing the powers of the three Universe seeds, but ultimately, he needed to rely on himself to reach the limits of his power.
This was the Martial Dao peak in its truest and purest meaning. And Dao Originator Celestial Thearch Lin Ming had already taken that path.
Having realized all of this, Yi Yun felt as though he had broken a kind of shackle. His Spirit, Qi, and Soul bound even more tightly with the three Universe seeds. Not only that, the energy absorbed by the Primordial Chaos Demon Bead was delivered to Yi Yun!
His strength was still rising!
His aura was like the massive Universe. Facing Yi Yun was akin to facing the Multiverse. All the Godly Monarchs felt how minute they were before him.
He has the nomological sword in hand, and the three Universe seeds floating behind him. Against the Ancestor God, Yi Yun’s final strike slashed down!
With this slash, the world’s colors inverted. Deep into the Chaos Heavens, a loud dragon roar resounded through the cosmos as the Chaos Heavens’ dragon soul fused into Yi Yun’s sword!
And at the same time, the Universe’s void tore apart as the laws bellowed. Apart from the Chaos Heavens’ dragon soul, the souls of many tiny worlds tore open space and arrived in the Chaos Heavens across vast distances!
These world souls were of myriad forms—white tigers, divine trees, phoenixes, boulders, mountains, or rivers.
The large ones extended for hundreds of thousands of kilometers and the small ones were the size of a mountain.
These were the souls of countless worlds, seemingly responding to Yi Yun’s call to arms.
This was no longer a strike delivered by Yi Yun himself, but a supreme strike of the Heavenly Dao that represented the Multiverse!
At that moment, the entire Multiverse’s powers were gathered onto Yi Yun. Silence prevailed as the Godly Monarchs felt their minds go blank. They even felt like prostrating themselves in front of such immense power.
As for the Ancestor God, his face that had been cold and expressionless for hundreds of millions of years turned into a frenzied warp. And beneath this facade of madness was true fear!
In his long life, no force ever reached such immensity!
He let out a crazy roar as he cleaved his battle ax at Yi Yun!
However, all Yi Yun did was gently turn his blade.
“Ka-cha!”
The Ancestor God’s ax shattered instantly!
This divine armament that had been forged for hundreds of millions of years and nourished with the blood of countless lives had shattered completely!
The Ancestor God was connected to the battle ax’s soul, so this setback jolted his body as he spewed a mouthful of blood!
Meanwhile, Yi Yun’s strike came striking down!
This strike seemed to devour the world!
This world fell silent as the entire Multiverse became quiet!
All the energy erupted from under Yi Yun’s blade!
Only the Ancestor God alone let out the world’s final sound—a disgruntled roar.
The three Universe seeds sealed the Ancestor God’s body, soul, and energy. Afterwhich, all of this was destroyed and devoured by Yi Yun with that single strike of his!
The Heavenly Dao, Origins energy, and lifeblood the Ancestor God had absorbed and devoured, as well as the countless wraiths he imprisoned, returned to the universe.
Dust to dust, ash to ash!
Infinite divine light blinded the universe for about five minutes before it condensed into a single beam, the nomological sword in Yi Yun’s hand.
Yi Yun’s strike had torn through the Multiverse, slashing out for billions of kilometers!
And behind Yi Yun, the Ancestor God’s body remained. However, it had lost all of its luster. The light in the Ancestor God’s eyes had dimmed completely for his life had been completely snuffed out!
“Boom!”
The Ancestor God’s massive body collapsed!
Following which, the same scene of his arm rotting repeated itself.
The Ancestor God’s massive body fused into the Chaos Heavens and sank without end. All that remained was absorbed by the Chaos Heavens.
“Rumble!”
The lands began to crack as the countless rifts that appeared from the intense battle between Yi Yun and the Ancestor God began healing.
Following that, huge mountain ranges rose up from flat land.
Amid these mountain ranges, a huge river was forged out of thin air!
These majestic mountain ranges and river stemmed from the remnant powers of the Ancestor God.
The mountain range consisted of spirit mountains and the river flow stemmed from spirit fountains.
This area was destined to become a holy ground of the Chaos Heavens in the future.
And the Heavenly Courts was most lucky for the final battle to happen on its premises. It would become the core of this holy ground.
In time, a truly powerful sect would be situated amid the mountains and river.
As for the legend belonging to Yi Yun, it would begin spreading.
This battle was destined to be recorded in history for all eternity.
Sect disciples would also know that their sect was situated on a land formed from the Ancestor God’s body. Thinking back to that universe-shaking battle, they would be amazed in shock…
Legends were typically like this. They would not be eclipsed with the passage of time, but instead, they became histories that one tried to live up to.
