"Pop!" "Splat!"

Two muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously, yet were quite different in nature.

Yi Huawei's left hand's "Return to Nothingness Finger" collided with Xiang Yutian's demonic claw. Xiang Yutian felt that his claw strength, which was enough to crush fine steel and devour souls, began to melt and annihilate rapidly the moment it came into contact with the gray luster of the other's fingertips, just like ice and snow meeting a furnace!
Not only was his internal force neutralized, but even the trace of "demonic seed" mental attack contained within it was swallowed up by an even more ancient and primordial "chaos returning to nothingness" intent, as if a mud ox had entered the sea! A counterforce came, carrying the meaning of birth and death, which made Xiang Yutian's arm go numb and his blood surge. He was horrified and let out a strange cry. He used the force to retreat quickly. His demonic shadow flashed, and he instantly retreated more than ten feet away. He looked at his slightly trembling palm with a look of doubt and uncertainty.

Yi Huawei's right hand "lifting up" seemed to unfold an invisible and intangible yet all-encompassing "mirror" in front of him. When Ning Daoqi's three "illusionary" finger winds touched this "mirror," their trajectories instantly changed, colliding with each other and annihilating most of them. The remaining force was easily absorbed and decomposed by the "miniature universe" rotating in his palm.

Moreover, Ning Daoqi's meticulously arranged "Wuwei Dao Domain," which he attempted to influence Yi Huawei, also experienced violent fluctuations when it came into contact with the heavy force field rising from the ground around Yi Huawei and the devouring power of the "Universe" in his right hand. It was as if a gentle breeze had encountered an impenetrable wall, or flowing water had encountered a bottomless abyss, making it difficult to penetrate even slightly. Instead, it showed a tendency to be eroded and assimilated by the opponent's force field!

Ning Daoqi grunted, and the blue donkey beneath him staggered back several steps before regaining its footing. His gaze toward Yi Huawei was filled with unprecedented shock.

After five years of arduous training, he was confident that he was no longer the same as before, having touched the threshold of "shattering". His use of the power of heaven and earth was far superior to before. However, Yi Huawei's way of neutralizing his and Xiang Yutian's joint attack was still so effortless, even... unfathomable!
In the blink of an eye, in their first clash, Yi Huawei, fighting two against one, directly confronted the combined attack of Ning Daoqi and Xiang Yutian, and surprisingly... seemed to have the upper hand?!

A deathly silence fell over the city walls and its inhabitants. Everyone, including the nine Buddhist monks who lay on the ground, barely conscious, was utterly stunned by this battle, which defied their comprehension. It was no longer martial arts; it was more like the art of immortals and demons!

Xiang Yutian waved his hand, but the excitement and fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter, even with a hint of madness: "Good! What a 'Return to Nothingness' technique! It can actually neutralize my demonic seed! Boy, you really haven't disappointed me!"

After speaking, the dark purple demonic energy around him rose again, more solid and violent than before, and faintly condensed behind him into a huge demonic figure with three heads and six arms, a blurred face, yet majestic and terrifying! The supreme mystery of the "Great Demon Seed of the Dao Heart" - "Demon Descends Upon the World" - began to be revealed!
Ning Daoqi completely abandoned his last shred of hope and testing, his expression solemn and reverent, like a pilgrim. He slowly floated down from the donkey's back, his feet touching the ground, each step creating invisible ripples. His hands moved slowly in front of his chest, their trajectory mysterious and unpredictable, subtly in harmony with the Dao. A pure light shone around him, his resonance with the primordial energy of heaven and earth reaching its peak. Above his head, a faint aura rose, condensing into a miniature auspicious cloud, within which cranes seemed to dance and lingzhi mushrooms grew. He raised his essence, energy, and spirit to their peak, preparing to unleash the strongest move of the "Eight Scattered Hands," the ultimate technique he had comprehended after touching the threshold of "Shattering."

As Yi Huawei watched the two men, whose momentum was rising again and who were preparing to unleash their true abilities, the interested smile on his face widened slightly.

"That's what it looks like."

He slowly brought his hands to his chest, palms facing each other, one above the other, as if embracing the void. A hazy, ethereal aura swirled around the fingertips of his left hand, while the fingertips of his right hand radiated a clear, vibrant light of immortality. One life, one death; one yin, one yang—two opposing yet interconnected forces rotated gently between his palms, forming a delicate balance, as if enacting the profound truth of the universe's creation and the cycle of life and death.

His aura became incredibly peculiar. Half of it was like the ancient starry sky, vast and desolate; the other half was like a spring field, full of life. These two contradictory qualities were perfectly unified within him, forming a more magnificent, more primal, and more awe-inspiring "field".

“Brother Ning, your ‘Dao’ is to follow the will of Heaven and the people, and to be carefree and inactive.”

"Xiang Yutian, your 'demon' is defying the heavens and taking lives, and being the only one who is supreme."

Yi Huawei's voice rang out, calm yet carrying a profound and insightful understanding:

"And my Dao..."

The vortex of life and death between his hands suddenly accelerated!
"...My fate is in my own hands, and my birth and death are determined by my own mind."

"You two, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, his fighting spirit ignited.

He let out a silent roar at the three-headed, six-armed demonic figure behind Xiang Yutian. The dark purple demonic energy was like boiling magma, scorching and distorting the space around him.

There was no trace of cynicism in his eyes, only a pure and extreme desire for destruction and devouring. That was the prelude to the demonic seed becoming restless and taking over when the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Technique" was running to its extreme!

Xiang Yutian let out a long roar, and the six arms of the Demon Shadow Dharma Avatar moved in unison, each displaying different demonic killing moves with fists, palms, claws, and fingers. However, the core of all the attacks converged on one point—a dark, ink-black phantom that seemed to devour all light faintly appeared in the center of the six arms!
This was the strongest attack formed by the combination of his essence, energy, spirit, and the demonic seed of his Dao heart—"Ten Thousand Demons Pay Homage, Seed Annihilates the Void!" Carrying terrifying power to shatter matter, annihilate the soul, and pollute the very source, it fiercely slammed towards Yi Huawei!
Ning Daoqi's expression was extremely solemn and dignified. The trajectory of his hands finally completed its last cycle. From the miniature auspicious cloud above his head, cranes cried out, and lingzhi mushrooms exhaled auspicious omens. Endless pure light and Daoist energy burst forth from every pore of his body as his clasped palms slowly pushed out towards Yi Huawei. This push seemed to move the entire sky and shift the earth beneath his feet! It was his ultimate strike—"Doing Nothing Yet Doing Nothing, Heaven and Earth United"—that transcended the limitations of techniques after he touched the threshold of "Shattering," integrating the "Eight Strikes of Scattered Hands" and the "Theory of the Fluctuation of All Things"! It drew upon all the "natural forces" within a radius of hundreds of feet, converging under his palms into an invisible, intangible, and overwhelming force of heaven and earth, pressing down on Yi Huawei from all directions, as if the entire world were closing in! This strike was almost a borrowing of the power of the rules of heaven and earth!
One is righteous, the other is demonic; two terrifying attacks, one of vastly different natures yet both reaching the pinnacle of this world, descend simultaneously!

Yi Huawei’s eyes shone brightly. Faced with this attack that could instantly tear any mortal expert to shreds or even annihilate them into nothingness, the speed at which the vortex of life and death rotated between his hands suddenly increased to a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye!
"pregnancy!"

Yi Huawei shouted, and the clear, longevity energy in his right hand, representing "life," suddenly burst forth, transforming into a gentle yet incredibly resilient light screen filled with boundless vitality and inclusiveness, actively welcoming Ning Daoqi's "Heaven and Earth United Force."

The Longevity Technique's ability to connect with the life force of the universe was brought to its extreme, and to some extent, it resonated with and was partially assimilated by the "natural force" activated by Ning Daoqi! The seemingly irresistible pressure of heaven and earth was weakened, dissolved, and diverted layer by layer by this "life" energy curtain, like a raging torrent encountering a boundless sponge. Although it was still powerful, it was difficult to condense into absolute destruction.

"Destroy!"

At the same time, the hazy "Return to Nothingness" intent in Yi Huawei's left hand suddenly erupted! It was no longer the restrained intent it had shown when it broke through the demonic claws, but instead transformed into a thick, solid gray beam of light that seemed capable of ending all things and returning everything to chaos, crashing head-on into Yu Tian's pitch-black demonic seed of "Ten Thousand Demons Paying Homage to the Emperor"!

"laugh--!!!"

A piercing, extremely sharp screech resounded through the sky. At the center of the collision, space visibly twisted and collapsed, forming a tiny black hole the size of a palm, seemingly capable of swallowing light. It was then instantly filled and burst open by the violent energy! The escaping energy turbulence, like thousands of swords, cut the surrounding ground to pieces, plowing out countless deep trenches.

Xiang Yutian groaned, his face draining of color instantly. He was horrified to discover that his attack, imbued with the essence of the demonic seed, was nothing more than a superficial destruction compared to Yi Huawei's pure "Return to Nothingness" intent. Yi Huawei's "Return to Nothingness" intent was the ultimate law that pointed directly to the source, returning all things to "nothingness"! The black demonic seed phantom trembled violently under the impact of the gray pillar of light, fine cracks appearing on its surface. The violent demonic thoughts and spiritual pollution contained within were mercilessly cleansed and purified by the "Return to Nothingness" intent!
"Impossible! My Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique is the supreme technique of the Demonic Sect... how could this be..."

A storm raged in Xiang Yutian's heart. He gritted his teeth and desperately urged his demonic power, even burning the essence of his demonic seed in an attempt to stabilize his position.

Meanwhile, Ning Daoqi was also deeply shaken. He felt as if his activated "force of heaven and earth" had vanished into thin air, or struck empty space, and was largely "accepted" and "transformed" by the opponent's vibrant aura in a way he couldn't fully comprehend. The opponent's understanding and application of the law of "life" seemed to be closer to the origin, more... "inner" than his "external force" of borrowing the power of heaven and earth!
"It's now!"

Yi Huawei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly clasped his hands together!
The "life" energy barrier and the "destruction" light pillar that were originally opposing each other suddenly contracted and merged inward as he brought his palms together! Life and destruction, these two opposing poles, did not clash or annihilate each other under the supreme mental technique of "Life and Destruction from the Mind". Instead, at the moment of collision, they produced a mysterious "chemical reaction"!
"The cycle of Yin and Yang continues, returning to the void and rebirth!"

"Boom——!!!"

A primordial, chaotic force, seemingly erupting from the very beginning of creation, swept outwards in a spherical shape from Yi Huawei's center! This force contained both the creation and nourishment of "life," and the end and purification of "destruction." Furthermore, in the extreme collision and fusion of the two, a terrifying power that transcended birth and death and pointed directly to the origin of "existence" and "nothingness" was born!
Ning Daoqi and Xiang Yutian were the first to be affected!

Ning Daoqi's weakened power of heaven and earth was instantly and completely shattered and assimilated by this primordial chaotic power! He felt his profound connection with heaven and earth being forcibly severed, as if he had fallen from the clouds to the mortal world! Furthermore, a power containing the cycle of birth and death and the destruction of all laws slammed into his protective Dao domain!
"puff--!"

Ning Daoqi was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, the clear light around him dissipated, his Daoist aura vanished, his face turned ashen, and his aura instantly weakened to the extreme. He drew an arc in the air and crashed heavily dozens of feet away. He struggled for a moment but was unable to get up, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries that damaged his very essence!
Xiang Yutian fared even worse. The already cracked phantom of the demonic seed shattered completely like glass under the impact of this chaotic force of creation and destruction! The backlash from the shattering of the demonic seed caused him to let out an extremely shrill scream, blood spurting from all seven orifices! The demonic avatar behind him instantly dissipated, and the boiling dark purple demonic energy around him vanished rapidly like smoke swept away by a gale. He was thrown back like a broken sack, his consciousness already fading in mid-air.

Yi Huawei moved swiftly, appearing like a ghost at the spot where Xiang Yutian was about to land. Just before he hit the ground, his right hand, with its five fingers like hooks, pressed down on Xiang Yutian's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head with lightning speed!

"Northern Darkness Divine Art," activated!

Unlike the gentle absorption of ordinary masters' internal energy, the Beiming True Qi that Yi Huawei was circulating at this moment was like the most violent whirlpool in the deep sea of ​​Beiming, carrying the domineering intent of life and death, and fiercely invaded Yu Tian's meridians and dantian, which were defenseless due to the shattering of the demon seed and were filled with violent backlash!
"Uhhhhhh-!"

With a final, short, and desperate scream, Yu Tian let out his last remaining consciousness. He could clearly feel the supreme demonic internal energy of the "Dao Xin Seed Demonic Technique," which he had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years and endured countless life-or-death trials, being frantically and uncontrollably drawn out of his body like a river bursting its banks! Even the immense spiritual power, life essence, and unique "demon seed" attributes contained within the shattered demonic seed were brutally torn out and devoured by that terrifying suction force!
His body withered away at a visible rate, his plump skin instantly became covered with wrinkles, his long black hair turned gray and brittle, and his strong body became hunched and shrunken... The strength and life accumulated over hundreds of years were being rapidly stripped away!
Yi Huawei closed his eyes and concentrated, fully circulating the "Birth and Death from the Mind" mental cultivation technique, guiding the massive and extremely violent and evil energy into his meridians. As this powerful energy surged in, his aura began to rise and transform at a slow but steady pace, as if he were crossing some invisible boundary and moving towards a higher and more immeasurable realm.

There was dead silence inside and outside the city.

Everyone, including the severely injured Ning Daoqi and the nine Buddhist monks, watched helplessly as Xiang Yutian, the once-powerful and godlike Evil Emperor who had dominated the Demonic Sect for centuries, rapidly reached the end of his life and power under Yi Huawei's hands, turning into a withered, dried corpse.
