Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1187 The Future Rolls In, Never Asking for Opinions (34)

At this moment, all the light around An Jing had dimmed. Even light needs a transmission process, the spread of cause and effect.

But in the instant when everything is unified, even light can only stand still, while he and his sword can still move.

"So that's how it is. The redefinition of the Planck scale? I feel a sense of familiarity. Indeed, this is the essence of how the Lord of the Four Seasons can freely manipulate time... Fortunately, I am no longer entirely an existence of the Void Realm, but rather the Heavenly Punishment Cave Heaven itself."

However, even if he could be slightly exempted from the interference of this great supernatural power due to his nature, it was only the aftermath of the return of all things to oneness. The boundless power of the Heavenly Chen Array Realm controlled by Hong Xieshi was itself a great threat. Moreover, An Jing could not use any of the spiritual evils related to Huai Xu again.

However, he had long been mentally prepared to face Tian Du.

At this moment, the dark blue Star of Unity hurtles in, like a magnificent and unbelievable sword light. This light will halt everyone's movements, then shatter all enemies it hits, and after hitting them, it will completely suppress and absorb them, turning them into a part of 'One'.

Any being struck by this attack, even an immortal god, would have all their information erased, completely reduced to nothingness, and utterly annihilated, just as if they had been thrown into a dark abyss!
However, this sword light did not hit An Jing.

It collided with another sword.

when----!!!
The light of Guiyi Star burst forth the instant it collided with the sword, turning the world into a deep black.

Xuan is the gathering of all colors. All colors merging into one is Xuan. It is suppression, law, unity, and order.

The mystery of Da Chen is like this ink; wherever it spreads, everything loses its other colors, leaving only a deep, dark world, like an abyss.

But in this abyss, a blood-red rift appeared, and that blood-red rift was none other than An Jing's sword light!

boom! ! ! !

At this moment, with the entire capital city as the center, within a radius of four million miles, all space and time suddenly rose and bulged upwards, forming a vast and incomparably huge plateau!

At the outermost edge, matter remains unchanged because of the distortion of spacetime itself. But the closer one gets to the inner edge, the more loose and light the earth's texture becomes, as if solid rock has turned into mud and stone.

In the region closer to the capital, a second uplift occurred, with a gray mountain range, 600,000 li in radius and 30,000 zhang in height, suddenly appearing amidst this yellow mudstone plateau.

Immediately afterwards, atop the gray, incredibly light, almost dust-like mountain range, one could see an ethereal, cloud-like pillar of heaven soaring straight into the sky.

At the very top of this sky, one can see Grand Tutor Hong holding up a dark blue star, clashing with An Jing's sword!

Manipulating the scale of space and time naturally comes at a price. Since all things return to oneness, then all things must return to nothingness. In the past, Grand Tutor Hong would never have used such an attack that would almost destroy half a domain, but facing An Jing, he could only do his best.

Even with all his might, he couldn't kill his opponent!
At this moment, an expression of disbelief appeared in Grand Tutor Hong's eyes, a look of utter astonishment: "How is this possible? The Unity of All Things has no effect on you?"

"It's not that it's invalid, it's that you can't select my main body."

An Jing sighed, a hint of pity in his voice: "You are ultimately just a mortal. How can you understand that the existence of a new path naturally allows it to completely surpass another path in a certain aspect? Martial artists are the ultimate manipulators of heaven and earth. Even the Immortal Path finds the great celestial authority of martial artists extremely troublesome. Since that's the case, the Ascension Path must contend with this mechanism..."

"Become a new world, possessing ultimate resistance!" In the Heavenly Punishment Cave, light shone once more, with the bright Heavenly Punishment Divine Tree at its core, a rainbow-like halo rose to the sky, right in the center of the sun and moon.

All the figures in the Honglu Hundred Forms, including Xiao Qi and You Ruhui, watched this scene. As the seven-colored halo soared into the sky, mountains in the Tianxing Cave Heaven rose into the air and flew towards the halo. They were disintegrated, restored, and transformed into almost endless energy, which was then absorbed and recycled in the repeated cycles of the halo.

Rejection is a cycle, an infinite cycle. If rejection is not allowed to exist, then that is also a form of rejection.

Nothing can ever be denied or rejected, because it is a self-referential act, an infinite recursion.

An infinite loop.

The Way of the Spirit, the perpetual motion machine, has changed so much. To unlock the essence of matter, the power required is immense. Theoretically, one must cultivate to the limit of the Heavenly Monarch to have the initial potential to unlock an infinite cycle.

However, since An Jing had already met many of Ling Xiao's conditions, and even had all four immortal skills required for Ling Xiao's peak and the Nine Heavens of Refining Dao, he only needed to achieve the initial accumulation to accomplish all of this.

As the nearly inexhaustible energy was released within the tranquil cave, the four celestial swords at the four poles rose up and converged towards the halo!

Condemnation, punishment, annihilation, execution... the four swords combined into one!

This is divine punishment, and also the collapse of the heavens!
Ascending to heaven, the sword of heavenly punishment and heavenly collapse!
Wielding the Heavenly Sword, which possesses the power of a grotto-heaven and can cleave through all laws, and with his eternally battle-hardened body, An Jing stood against the Star of Unity. Facing the astonished yet rapidly grave Grand Tutor Hong, An Jing said, “Yin Gujin attacked me with the power of creation, and I was able to break through it with the Sword of Annihilation. The return of all things to oneness is ultimately nothing more than a form of creation and destruction. If I still had the power of the Divine Capital Grand Formation, I could break through it with a single sword strike. Now, although it’s a bit troublesome… it’s not impossible to fight!”

"As for you, Hong Xieshi, the future is rolling in, never asking for anyone's opinion, proceeding step by step. Have you asked the Heavenly Demon, asked time, asked the future?"

"If you remain stubborn, then cling to your old humanity, your old system, and your old world, and die together!"

A tremendous light shone above the capital, above the suddenly rising hills, mountains, and peaks, as dark blue stars rapidly collided with blood-red giant stars.

Below, Yin Gu, who did not choose to attack alongside Grand Tutor Hong, turned his head to look at Xuan Mingyu, whose expression was equally subtle.

Your Majesty, aren't you leaving now?

The Martial Emperor, stroking his chin, asked with some confusion: "While Xiao Hong is fighting our Seven Fiends Tribulation, you could have easily relinquished that power and sought your freedom—although I can't reveal the name of that place, I do know its existence. Why don't you go back there?"

"Commander, you simply don't understand."

Xuan Mingyu did not turn his head to look at Yin Gujin, but kept looking straight at the sky. His golden eyes reflected the light and shadow of An Jing and Grand Tutor Hong's battle: "An Jing's strength far exceeds my imagination. He is not the Mandate of Heaven, but a disgrace to the Mandate of Heaven. I am just average. The reason I became the Mandate of Heaven is at least half due to the convergence of cause and effect in Da Chen, and the other half is my talent."

"But even half of that talent... is enough for me to do some greedy things."

He lowered his head, looked at Yin Gujin, and smiled, "In the end, Grand Commander, since you can lose to Anjing..."

"Then why can't the Holy Ancestor lose to me?"
