Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1149 Earthly Punishment Edict Returns to Ruins (55, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)
Faced with these descending pillars of light, 'Canglinzu' spread his arms as if embracing the light floating in front of his chest, the True Person Array Realm that he had compressed and transformed into spiritual energy.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and only the light was changing.

Ketu is the remnant of earth. The array realm corrupted by the power of Ketu, even if it was originally light, becomes dim and unclear, as if shrouded in an eternal shadow, filled with deathly silence and stillness.

And the next moment.

Earth produces metal.

In the pure shadow, a tiny ray of light emerged. This light was extremely sharp and condensed, as if it were the first sharp edge of the universe. It cleaved through the dark cover, becoming dazzling. The light flowed, turning into pure white, becoming solid, and a chilling killing intent spread out, as if it wanted to shatter all tangible things.

Gold produces water.

This solid yet overly condensed power suddenly dispersed, softened, and became subtle. The indestructible Taibai golden light instantly transformed into countless, mist-like black particles. These particles were all-pervasive and even more dangerous, seemingly eroding all life and bringing an absolute and equal silence.

Aquatic wood.

The scattered, minute forces continued to spread, like thirsty roots, greedily plundering all the spiritual energy in the surrounding world for their own use. This was the ultimate growth and the ultimate diffusion. What was originally just a compressed point of power expanded rapidly in an instant. It was like a divine tree taking root in the void, with countless verdant branches and roots branching wildly and spreading, allowing itself to grow in an instant, but causing all things to wither as a result.

Wood produces fire.

This sudden surge of immense power then violently rose, burned, and erupted in the next instant, activating all the power and transforming it into a mighty force that burned everything, including the destruction of sin.

And in the end... everything is destroyed, fire reborn from earth—

[Returned to ashes!]
Time began to flow, and then...

Start rotating!
The five elements cycle through birth and death, resulting in: [severed form], [eroded fortune], [withered and desolate], [burned karma], and [return to nothingness]!
The array within the body of the deceased cultivator collapsed and shrank in an instant, condensing into a small dot. This small dot was as dark as embers and as red as blood.

If this tiny point were to erupt at this moment, it would be the 'Divine Light of Void Destruction', but at this moment, this tiny point is still collapsing and condensing.

Before it, even light began to shift and distort. The eleven descending divine lights were like figures distorted by a funhouse mirror, expanding, contracting, twisting, and turning violently, before scattering uncontrollably in all directions.

This is a sign that a supernatural power is facing a higher-level supernatural power, and due to the operator's lack of resolve, the spiritual energy is overflowing uncontrollably, a precursor to collapse.

At this moment, a tiny black dot, invisible to the naked eye, was held in the arms of 'Canglinzu'. The power that was the end of everything, and perhaps also the power that created everything, was gathering between his arms.

Then, throw it!
[Five Punishments from Heaven]!
[Earth Punishment - Imperial Decree to Return to Ruins]!
After being launched, the tiny black dot began to expand rapidly and explode, transforming into an irregular, miniature, incandescent star. Its atmosphere exploded and dispersed, instantly traversing the distance between heaven and earth, carrying boundless light and shockwaves, and slamming into the central giant ship that was trying to retreat and withdraw.

"Aaaaaah!! How is this possible?!"

"It's actually a great supernatural power?!"

"Cang Linzu could never possess such power. Who is he? Who exactly is he?!"

Even the screams could not escape the most terrifying destruction and pull. Spacetime began to distort, and the airships in the sky began to twist and collapse towards the scorching fireball in the explosion. In this final, shrill scream, dark rifts tore through spacetime, and light spread through them, burning the void.

The violent explosion instantly engulfed the remaining celestial soldiers and the array of flying shuttles in the sky.

The 'Granary Foot' slowly descended and stood on the earth. The dazzling explosion illuminated everything in the world, making its back appear pitch black. In mid-air, corpses, fire rain, and fragments of the damaged airship fell like flames or meteors, splashing across the land, igniting the earth, causing lava to surge, and flames to spread.

Thunder, gale, and raging flames churned the fiery clouds in the sky, as if a giant god were painting the heavens and earth, splashing colors of destruction, and creating a picture of ruin.

The heavenly soldiers sent by the Yuan family to suppress them were all annihilated.

Just because of one person...

One...

Martial lineage.

The survivors fled in cries, as if fleeing from demons and hell.

The figure did not give chase. Because 'he' knew that this was not over.

Or rather, it's only just begun.

Slightly narrowing its eyes, 'Canglinzu' slowly raised its head and looked at the sky, which was being stirred up by 'Chiguixu' and was filled with smoke, light, flames and distortion.

then.

The sky has cracked open.

Under the watchful gaze of 'Granary Full,' the sky on one side of the capital was gradually separating.

Like a meteorite falling into the sea, ripples spread out, dispelling all light and shadow; like pages of a book being unfolded one by one, the distorted spacetime is gradually calmed, and then completely revealed, exposing the pitch-black void.

Three figures emerged from the void, their eyes dark and their pupils golden. They wore black robes with gold patterns. One was fair-skinned and beardless, looking around with a smile, seemingly unsurprised by the carnage. The other was still young, looking at the surrounding world with a look of astonishment and doubt.

The leader, with a dignified and peaceful face, yet bearing a hint of sorrow and headache, looked at 'Canglinzu' and met his gaze into those crimson-gold eyes, a realization dawning on him.

—It's you... Oh, I see. You're not... You are...

The newcomer was none other than the third of the eight kings of Dachen Town.

The King of Nanzhong, Xuan Guangzhong. The King of Dongyi, Xuan Mingzhen.

as well as……

The King of the North, Xuan Guang Ge.

Stop it.

Gazing at the figure, the Prince of De said in a deep voice: "We have investigated the ins and outs of this matter. If you stop now and come with me, it's not too late. If you still refuse... the majesty of the Great Chen Dynasty cannot be challenged. No matter who is behind you, if you continue to resist, you will be annihilated, soul and body destroyed on the spot by the might of Heaven."

At this moment, apart from the young Prince Yi, Xuanmingzhen, the auras of Prince Zhong and Prince De were those of genuine 'Pure Yang Heavenly Lords'!
Whatever you want

"Granary Full" said, and the angry one sneered and shook his head: "But you know very well why Granary Full is angry, and why I am angry... You also understand that realms are meaningless to me. If I want, I can make him, or any 'angry person,' receive divine grace and will, become a True Person or True Lord, and burn everything."

If you continue like this, those who can bear my will will not just be my friends, but everyone in this world.

【At that time, just imagine, anyone who is angry with you could unleash a destructive divine power because of my strength. I have this ability, and this ability will only grow stronger, as you know better than anyone else.】

This is not a threat.

This is a fact.

King De was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading: "But you won't do that... won't you?"

Yes, I won't do that, because anger should be met with personal retribution, and I won't deprive anyone of that right.

"So it is fate," he said, slowly closing his crimson-gold eyes: "But I am still all the retribution in this world… Prince De, you helped me, and I helped you. I considered you a friend; did you feel the same way?"

"I am your friend, and I still want to help you." The Prince of De spoke without hesitation, but he remained somewhat confused: "But I am also a Prince of Zhen, a subject of Da Chen. I... I don't understand, I don't know what to do."

That has nothing to do with me, and you know, it's just that I'm unwilling, don't want to, and... dare not.

When Canglinzu opened his eyes again, his pupils returned to their original black. Canglinzu was somewhat bewildered, but the voice of his spirit still resonated in the heart of the King of De: "[I am merely responding to anger, resistance, destruction, annihilation, and the overthrow of everything]."

I will return, very soon, very soon, and by then, if my anger still remains, it will be directed at you... and even at Da Chen.

Nothing could withstand it.
