Destiny is ashes

Chapter 957 The Way of Rise and Fall in Ancient and Modern Times, and the Gods of the Four Directions and Four Seasons (23)

"This is second only to the Primordial Chaos within me! The Primordial Void at the beginning of time is indeed the best place for cultivation!"

An Jing felt that his physical cavern [Heavenly Punishment Bitter Realm], which was located in the void, was also trembling slightly. The branches and leaves of the 'Heavenly Punishment Divine Tree', which was transformed from his True Spirit Blood Ancestral Dragon Seed, were swaying, as if it was yearning for such an environment.

Even the little enterprise awoke, raising its head in its nest and curiously looking towards the place where the Scale Realm was located.

At the same time, the power emanating from the Ancestral Dragon Scales was like an invisible hand that grabbed and enveloped the entire Ancestral Dragon Palace. Without hesitation, An Jing immediately called Jin Yanhua and flew away with You Ruhui, far away from the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

This is what everyone is doing. In the distance, Zhang Junxuan originally wanted to remind An Jing, but found that he was a step too late. He was not surprised by the speed of Tianming's reaction. He just turned his head and was equally puzzled. He thought to himself, "The patriarch instructed that there might be some unusual activity today... Could it be that all of this is related to our Shangxuan Sect?"

"No, really..." Even he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although it was highly unlikely, given the usual practices and reputation of the Shangxuan Sect, the disciples behind him were whispering amongst themselves, somewhat hesitant and fearful.

boom!
Just as everyone was evacuating the Ancestral Dragon Palace, the palace groaned under the overwhelming power emanating from the Ancestral Dragon Scales.

A deafening roar, as if a thousand thunderclaps were erupting simultaneously, came from the Ancestral Dragon Hall. An Jing saw that the divine steel beams supporting the foundation of the Ancestral Dragon Hall were like giant trees that had been cut in half and then kicked. With a tooth-grinding sound of metal twisting and breaking, they slowly collapsed...

Pour it over!
Boom! !
Where the beams and pillars broke, huge sparks erupted like a volcano. Even more terrifying was the spiritual energy that had completely dissipated after the great formation went out of control. The bluish-purple light mist, like an out-of-control nebula, overflowed from the center of the hall, overflowing with constantly changing and distorted halos.

Where the halo swept across, the sea of ​​clouds boiled, the debris melted, and a large amount of spiritual energy gathered, forming strange little suns in mid-air, illuminating the entire sky and sea!

"what?"

Seeing this scene, even An Jing was a little numb, while Jin Yanhua and You Ruhui were even more dumbfounded. As the daughter of the current Dragon God, Jin Yanhua watched helplessly as the beams and pillars she had entwined with in her childhood and the sea of ​​clouds she had drifted through vanished into nothingness, and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy: "The Ancestral Dragon Palace, it's... it's gone?"

You Ruhui, standing to the side, tugged at An Jing's sleeve and stammered softly, "An, An Jing... is it, is it you?"

"Yes, right? No, no..."

An Jing hesitated at this moment. As a seasoned warrior of destiny, he was truly knowledgeable and had seen too many big scenes. But before things even started, destroying a top-tier sect was something that even Ling Xiao couldn't handle.

"Huai Xu Heavenly Dao... does it start by having an entire sect perish?"

He muttered to himself, and in this apocalyptic scene that even the Shangxuan Sect would try to shift the blame for, within the collapsing Ancestral Dragon Hall, came a series of dragon roars that seemed to come from the past and future, from the other shore of destiny!
Click!

The crumbling Ancestral Dragon Palace is no longer the magnificent palace that once stood atop the heavens and seas. Bathed in the radiance of the Ancestral Dragon Scale, at the four cardinal points of the great formation centered on the former Ancestral Dragon Scale, something is rapidly returning to its origin, shedding its dust, becoming ethereal and illusory, yet its aura grows ever more imposing. Its time seems to be reversing, turning back...

The original form.

Those are four marks that traverse time and space, spanning countless ages—one is a horn, rugged and piercing the sky, representing the present moment, the only one of its kind, which is the [unchanging way of the present]!
The first eye reveals every detail of the past, as deep and profound as the sea, accumulated over countless ages—this is the ancient way of transformation!
One is a claw, sharp and outstretched, grasping the flow of fortune, refining cause and effect, the overall trend is in my hands, this is the [Way of Prospering the Times and Fortune]!
One is a tooth, which shatters all phenomena, ultimately leading to the demise of all things. In the profound stillness of extinction, death gives birth to new life; this is the "Way of Destruction and Annihilation"!
Horns, eyes, claws, teeth—the Lingxiao foundation left behind by the four Primordial Dragon Gods under the former Ancestral Dragon arrived with a thunderous roar!

The legacy left behind by the four Primordial Dragon Gods returned to the Four Seasons Dragon Gods, causing their strength to surge dramatically, reaching the Lingxiao realm in an instant. Suddenly, four overwhelming pressures, distinct yet sharing the same origin, arose, and the true forms of the Four Seasons Dragon Gods rose infinitely higher and expanded in the light, transforming into abstract Dao totems.

The rise and fall of dynasties throughout history, the dragon gods of the four seasons! The four peak Lingxiao realms of the Ancestral Dragon Palace are no less than any Heavenly Sect!
The four-colored Daoist aura soared into the sky, continuing to surround the center of the Heavenly Sea. The Ancestral Dragon Scale, which was becoming increasingly dazzling and seemed to have a pulse of life, was suppressed by the power of the Four Seasons Dragon Gods like four chains. This prevented the Ancestral Dragon Scale from receiving any spiritual energy support from the Huai Xu Realm. At the same time, it continuously tried to communicate, suppress, and regain control of this out-of-control sacred object.

However, the Ancestral Dragon Scale remained unfazed, for its source of spiritual energy was not in the Huai Xu Realm at all!

Wait, I found it!

While battling the Ancestral Dragon Scale, the ancient Dragon God's eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw through the endless cosmic light reversed by the Ancestral Dragon Scale and locked onto the source of that immense spiritual energy!

That spiritual energy... did not originate from Huai Xu!
But which world is it exactly?

"It's the Great Wilderness Heavenly Sea Realm!"

An Jing was taken aback. Although he had never been there in person, his recent exchanges with his master, Ming Guangchen, and the exchange of supplies made him extremely familiar with the atmosphere of the Great Wilderness Realm!

Yes, Xiaoqi is Zhuzhou, and also a candidate for creation from nothing. Yingtian Immortal Tree may also be Zhuzhou, and also a candidate for creation from nothing. Zulong is even more so Zhuzhou.

If that's the case, then isn't the [Candlelight God] of the Great Wilderness Realm also... Candlelight?
He abruptly turned his head to look at Yu Feng in the distance, who was utterly astonished and whose expression had drastically changed.

—How could it be my hometown?!
Although he didn't say it aloud, Yu Feng's thoughts were written all over his face. He came from the Great Wilderness Realm, and his transmigration and subjugation of evil were related to the Great Wilderness Heavenly Dao... and perhaps, also to the Candlelight God!

At that very moment, the power accumulated by the Ancestral Dragon Scales reached its limit and then began to contract.

——Buzz!!!

Between heaven and earth, a terrifying spacetime rippled and spread rapidly from the ancestral dragon scale as its center!

The might of Heaven is like a mountain, the might of Heaven is like a prison; the invisible spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth transforms into tangible pressure, pressing down on everyone like an ancient divine mountain!

"Pfft—" "Ugh!"

In mid-air, some of the geniuses who had come to the banquet changed color instantly. Some of them, whose foundations were slightly weaker or who had consumed too much energy, did not even have the chance to manifest their true forms or expand their domains before being knocked down by the pressure that contained both the Dao of the Great Void and the Dao of the Cosmic Light.
