Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1180 Watching
light.

A wondrous thing.

Its rest mass is zero, and that is its most amazing feature.

Because the number zero itself contains infinite mysteries.

The speed of light is the speed of light—it may sound like a repetitive statement, but in reality, it has a more rigorous explanation.

First, there is a maximum value for the 'speed of transmission of causal relationships' allowed by the spacetime of the universe.

Light, because its rest mass is zero, has a constant speed at this maximum value.

Therefore, the speed of light is equivalent to the limit of the universe.

But strangely enough, light with zero mass is not without impact.

It sounds very strange—

How can something with zero mass have kinetic energy or impact force, no matter how fast it moves?
But actually, the reason is quite simple.

Light can carry energy.

Light with sufficient energy can even create 'light pressure,' so powerful that it can even sustain the structure of massive celestial bodies.

Energy, and mass.

They don't sound like the same thing.

But they are one.

Specific methods of explanation are taught in various "Great Dao disciplines" that use the Dao to explain and utilize the rules of the world, whether it is the Dao of Immortality, the Dao of Martial Arts, or science, magic, etc.

But simply put, it's just a matter of a single sentence.

Mass is energy at rest.

Matter and mass are energy in themselves; everything is one. Neutrons and protons contain incredible energy, but they are bound and stilled by the power of the myriad sources, or rather, the strong nuclear force, and manifest a form that can be observed by ordinary humans, thus becoming matter and mass.

However, if this power is artificially manipulated, deactivated, and fully utilized by an entity.

Therefore, this being, even just by watching, is enough to destroy everything.

It's just like.

Now like this.

When An Jing defeated Yin Gujin, he looked at the Xuan Tian Emperor of this generation of Da Chen, who was also the [Heavenly Mandate Natural Master] Xuan Mingyu of this era.

The air was ignited by his anger and words.

No, it's not that simple.

To be precise, it refers to the hydrogen and oxygen that make up the air, as well as the tiny dust particles and all their mass.

It has lost the constraint of one of the four elements.

Therefore, everything turned into light.

A near-Big Bang-like burst of light and heat was released in an instant, and the surging light pressure made the vacuum area, which was already created by the previous battle, even more vacuum-like—a perfectly circular light shield kept growing larger and spreading at the speed of light until it enveloped the entire capital city.

But this was not the end. The light surged like a tide in all directions, shattering the natural cycles of all spiritual energy in the world, and even the various spiritual and mysterious structures buried deep within the world, revealing a myriad of colors and countless ravines.

These countless veins, like roads, crisscrossed the void in a wondrous spectacle, appearing and disappearing swiftly.

In the entire capital, only the Xuantian Palace and the Imperial Court remain, standing alone between heaven and earth.

Like a wedge driven into the earth, extending endlessly.

[The Great Five Elements Primordial Chaos Annihilation Divine Light!]

[Wasn't the Divine Capital Grand Formation destroyed?! How can he still possess such immense power?!]

[It's insane! It's insane! How could the Seven Fiends Tribulation be born in its complete form?!] In the instant that this pure world of light spread, the many surviving noble families and celestial officials around the capital, except for Grand Tutor Hong and Xuan Mingyu, all fled in a sorry state, crying and howling.

They muttered incoherently, horrified that the world, which had always been so free, dared to operate against their will—but this was the end.

Because no one had time to escape, in that instant, due to the shattering of the Divine Capital Formation, they, who had lost most of their power, were completely pulverized by the aftershocks of An Jing's gaze and words, turning into pure light.

And this was only once...

A gaze fixed upon the eyes.

Outside of the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent, many powerful figures from the Heavenly Sect and Upper Gate who witnessed this scene also paled in shock: [Seven Fiends Annihilation?]

[Killing, bringing calamity, destroying the world... the three stages of the true power of the Seven Calamities of Destiny—how could it have reached the final stage so soon?!]

[The Seven Calamities... In the past, they would only fully unleash their power in the middle or late stages of a great epochal calamity, and most of them couldn't even reach the final stage. How come this time, as soon as they appeared, they were 'destroying the world'?]

[It seems like he just broke through. Damn it, what is Da Chen doing? How did they manage to cultivate someone like this Seven Fiends Tribulation?!]

Even some of the Mingjing Sect's allies were taken aback: [Really? The Seven Fiends Tribulation? Isn't An Jing a Natural Master?]

[Actually, it's all] Leaving aside Haotian Mirror's explanation that he knew An Jing's special status in Tianyuan, the Four Seasons Dragon King also knew this. He said to the thoughtful Lao Fei and the Tianji Mountain lineage, who were secretly hiding and ready to provide support at any time: [The Ancestral Dragon Saint Venerable had already informed us.]

Ladies and gentlemen, Anjing's fate is no ordinary destiny.

"How powerful..."

One glance, and the world trembled.

Being stared at like that, Xuan Mingyu's expression changed slightly.

He was not afraid, not worried, not flustered by the complete disruption of his plans, and not even a little bit resentful because of An Jing's naked malice and contempt towards him.

He was... truly...

I admire and yearn for it.

And, respect.

"It seems you have truly mastered the power of the Seven Fiends Calamity."

When the light that destroyed everything arrived, Xuan Mingyu's body was surrounded by a control space exactly the same as Yin Gujin's before.

This absolute power to dominate space is naturally far inferior to that of Yin Gujin, but compared to Yin Gujin's pure will to devour all matter and spacetime and transform it into his own body to create the world, Xuan Mingyu's domination of space is more exquisite.

Or rather, it focuses more on 'dominating oneself' rather than on other things outside oneself.

He formed a mudra, and when the destructive divine light that shattered everything reached him, it flowed past as if there were nothing there.

This is almost impossible, because the destructive divine light formed by shattering the Four Symbols and Five Elements can shake and shatter even the void and the soul. The light sweeps across, and the netherworld will also be burned to ashes. The transfer and etherealization that are usually carried out by these three cannot stop this most real damage.

But Xuan Mingyu managed to do it. He did exist; his matter, soul, and spirit were all real and true. However, he did not react to anything in the world. Moreover, he only controlled himself and did not seek outwards. Therefore, he did not need to manipulate space and time to collide with An Jing like Yin Gujin did. With only one ten-millionth of the opponent's power, he could easily avoid An Jing's harm.

Even if it was just a glance, it was still the gaze of the Seven Fiends Tribulation.

This is the authority of the 'Xuantian Emperor'. The Xuantian Sacrifice designed this invincible authority based on the 'Black Emperor Law' and the entire Heavenly Sect.

After deflecting An Jing's attack, the young emperor, with his dark eyes and golden pupils, handsome and gentle face, and somewhat similar to You Ruhui, clearly a member of the same family, smiled and said: "This is the true power of the Seven Fiends Tribulation... The Four Symbols are destroyed, the Five Elements are broken, and the four fundamental forces that constitute the world—matter, energy, space, cosmic light, and [will]—are all completely destroyed."

"Returning everything to nothingness, the self-destruction and restarting instinct of the Heavenly Dao, Huai Xu has over a dozen martial arts eras, not counting the forty-nine Seven Fiend Tribulations you have recorded, but only twenty-one have reached 'destroying the world,' and most of them only reached it at the very end."

“You are the only one who has reached this point before Ling Xiao.”

"In front of someone like you, if you call me an insect, I really can't deny it."

"At least they have self-awareness."

Xuan Mingyu's attitude was genuine. An Jing noticed that the other party actually believed that he was indeed an insect in front of him, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking that the other party's mentality was not bad.

But it is precisely because of this that an emperor, even a nominal emperor, can disregard all human opinions, which is dangerous.
