Destiny is ashes

Chapter 959 Laughing in Anger (43)

[Old Dragon Head, you're indeed quite capable, but I also have allies.]

The phantom in the Blood Sea Palace had anticipated this, and snorted coldly, but it remained fearless.

【Old Dragon of the Four Seasons, I apologize, but this unusual movement of the Ancestral Dragon Scale is not something you can enjoy alone!】

South of Zhongheng Daozhou, in the direction of Nanhuang Hongzhou, at the Liehuang Mountain, the original mountain of the Lianxuan Wanhua True Dao, winds and clouds rise again!

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled violently! An unimaginably enormous phantom of a divine tree pierced through the clouds above the Fierce Wilderness Mountain, rising straight up into the sky, like the primordial tree that supports the heavens and the earth!
This sacred tree is a grayish-blue color that resembles the beginning of chaos. Its bark is mottled like scales, and its branches are gnarled and strong like dragons. Its majestic and solemn appearance is no less than that of the dragon gods of the four seasons!
The divine tree's image blots out the sky, its enormous branches piercing through heaven and earth, reaching straight into the netherworld, spanning the three realms of heaven, earth, and the underworld. Countless verdant leaves, like stars, gather and sway, forming a dazzling galaxy that flows around the divine tree!
Its branches and leaves span endless years and time. The power of the Dragon God today repels it from the present, but the present will always pass and will surely reach the future.

In every future, there will be branches of the sacred tree, and at least one leaf.

Past and future, everywhere!
【Haoyu!】

The ancient Dragon God frowned, his seemingly youthful face contorted with anger. His usually light and amiable tone became unusually stern, even ferocious: "I considered you a friend, a friendship spanning thousands of years, yet you betrayed me?"

The golden dragon's body suddenly expanded, revealing the ancient and majestic three-headed golden dragon! The ancient path of transformation began to operate, with two of the dragon heads spewing out flames of dragon rage, light and dark gold. The terrifying radiance burned away time, severing the causal connection between 'past to present' and 'present to future', and all of time.

The last dragon head opened its mouth, but there was no radiance or spiritual energy gathering within. However, all the warriors present who were at the Transcendent level or above changed color drastically, because they realized that the attack had already begun in the [past]!

The raging flames, flowing against the river of time, are now rushing forward, fiercely striking the 'past' body of the Vast Universe Celestial Venerable, who has not yet grown up or become powerful!
—If the ancients forbade it, then all things could no longer possess the [past]!
boom!
Downstream of the river of time, towering waves of fire surged. Although from the time of Divine Treasure and Manifestation, martial arts cultivation gradually began to involve cause and effect and time and space due to the prominence of the essence of 'destiny', by the time of the Lingxiao realm, cause and effect were intertwined, and the past and future bodies were already closely linked, making it difficult to erase.

However, this destructive strike targeting the root cause forced the Celestial Venerable Haoyu to restrain his power, preventing him from simultaneously and firmly occupying the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld, and connecting the past, present, and future as he was doing at this moment!
"It's actually the Blood Sea Demonic Sect and the Refining Truth Path!"

At this moment, Jin Yanhua and An Jing led You Ruhui to retreat rapidly. Even though the power of the Four Seasons Dragon Gods had long been controlled to a very precise degree and would not leak out, their [Great Dao Erosion] was not a leaking power, but proof of existence itself, just as stars can distort spacetime and light can reach the target along the shortest path.

Now, the spacetime around the Ancestral Dragon Palace is completely chaotic. Without mastering the Dao of Time and Light, if one were to mistakenly enter, even the Heavenly Dao of Emptiness might not know what would become of it!

"It's not surprising."

Jin Yanhua stared intently at the distant battlefield, her expression solemn. Although the Heavenly Sect and the Blood Sea Demon Sect, both universally reviled, had joined forces to launch a surprise attack, it was not surprising at all, considering their relationship and connection with the Ancestral Dragon Palace.

Even the Heavenly Sect could never defeat the Four Seasons Dragon God at full power!
However, things were not as simple as the two ancient and modern dragon gods and Jin Yanhua thought.

At this very moment, as the two ancient dragon gods were fully engaged in dealing with the two sudden attacks, and as they were on high alert before their deaths, another strange event occurred!
Where is the sword?!

These words were not spoken by anyone from the Sword Court, but rather by a dragon's roar!
Xing Shi Long Shen!

Brilliant as a raging fire, at this moment when cause and effect converge endlessly, the crimson cloud totem calls forth elements that can make things even more exciting and intricate!
Before the words were finished, a pure white sword light, reaching the heavens and the earth, and extremely pure and sharp, rose up in response!

This sword light originated from the deepest part of Baijijingzhou in the north of Zhonghengdaozhou. Initially, it was just a thin line, but it rapidly expanded into a pillar of light that reached the heavens and the earth. Along its path, all spiritual energy, all colors, and all sounds were swept up, condensed, and finally transformed into this pure sword intent that cut through everything and opened up everything!

Its domineering and fierce aura even temporarily overshadowed the brilliance of the Ancestral Dragon Scale, and the power of the Blood Sea Celestial Venerable and the Vast Universe Celestial Venerable, causing the Blood Sea to stop and the Divine Tree to dim, making it the most dazzling existence in the world!

Heavenly Sect, Heavenly Yang, One Origin, One Beginning Sword Court! Mount Miluo, Eternal Azure Sword Master, Heavenly Venerable of Intercepting Heaven!
As the Dragon God died, he let out a long roar and could only block it with his body. However, this was the Heavenly Sword [Eternal Azure Intercepting the Dao], which was at the peak of Lingxiao. The wielder of the sword was also at the peak of this world. The cycle of creation and destruction turned, and even though the Dragon God tried his best to resist with the great supernatural power of [All Eternal Achievements Will Perish], he was still defeated step by step!

[Gentlemen, what's all this commotion? If you're going to fight, why didn't you call me? Are you looking down on me?]

A clear laugh followed the sword light. The tone of the Heavenly Venerable of Intercepting Heaven was as pure and natural as a child's, without any other thoughts. But it was precisely this that made everyone present, whether it was the Three Dragon Gods, Hao Yu, or the Blood Sea Heavenly Venerable, turn pale and exclaim in their hearts that something terrible was about to happen.

[Xing Shihuan, are you crazy! How could you call the Sword Maniac here!]

Vast Universe Celestial Venerable roared from afar: "We just wanted to benefit from the Ancestral Dragon Scale, but he's here to ruin everything!"

[Hey, old tree, don't talk like that. You're making me sound like a troublemaker. Why are you and the dragon gods keeping such a good thing a secret?]

The Heavenly Venerable of Intercepting Heaven laughed heartily: "I see that the Ancestral Dragon Scale itself is also very happy; it should be shown to everyone."

【Shi Huan, what exactly are you trying to do?】

The three Dragon Kings were furious, but Xing Shi Dragon King laughed loudly: "The way of the Dragon Clan should be extended to all things in heaven and earth. When everyone is like a dragon and all things are like dragons, our Dragon Clan can flourish. Brothers, I have long been disgusted by our Ancestral Dragon Palace's timid and cowardly behavior."

[Rest assured, Xing Shihuan's heart is with the Dragon Clan. The Eternal Cang Sword Master has also sworn an oath with his beloved; they will cooperate with us to create a Sword Dragon bloodline and related inheritance. Then, the dragon and sword will be united, ensuring the First Sword Court has an endless supply of swords, and our Dragon Clan will have an endless supply of people!] [This is mutually beneficial; I think it's a good idea. The Eternal Cang Sword Master is a man of his word!]

[A sword can be a dragon? Then why don't you say chopsticks are dragons too!]

At this moment, even the Dragon God of Death could not hold back any longer. More importantly, He truly could not withstand the Primordial Sword Qi of the Heavenly Venerable of Intercepting Heaven. At this moment, His dragon scales shattered, and the aura of destruction spread out uncontrollably.

Xing Shihuan, you have dragged the Ancestral Dragon Palace into the abyss.

His enormous dragon eyes stared intently at Xing Shi Dragon God, who remained completely unconcerned: [Wang Shiming, I think the Ancestral Dragon Palace should have been blown up long ago. If it wasn't blown up, the dragon race would only be confined to the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court. If it was blown up, the entire world could be filled with dragons. Only in this way can the dragon race prosper and the Path of the Ancestral Dragon be revived.]

That's not something you, as a single person, can decide!

Having made up his mind, the Dragon God raised his head at the moment of death, looked into the distance, to the center of Zhongheng Daozhou, and let out a long roar!

【Brother Qingdu! If you don't act now, when will you?!】

【Infinite Heavenly Venerable】

A calm and indifferent voice rang out.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a vast, pure, and mysterious aura that seemed capable of cleansing all the impurities of the universe, silently descending from the top of the sky, beyond heaven and earth!

It was so clear and pure that it defied description and could only be called "pure" or "qi". This invisible pure qi descended and calmed the cosmic light, the void, the endless spiritual energy turbulence and spacetime that had been stirred up by the actions of the Lingxiao Heavenly Venerables. It transformed into a pure sky where nothing had ever happened!
However, the clean, clear, and pristine sky caused all the martial artists around to gasp in surprise.

"What the hell is going on..."

Even An Jing's eyes widened: "Huai Xu Tian Dao, what exactly do you want me to do, that you dare to make such a big scene?"

Like the receding of a roaring tsunami, on the clear yet desolate shore, all traces are no longer concealed. The barriers of secret techniques are broken, the twists and turns of layered time and space are stretched out, and the cause and effect of the dimensional rift are connected. One after another, majestic and solemn, terrifying auras that transcend all things and beings appear.

What, can't even we watch?

【Old man from Qingdu, why are you being so disrespectful? Do I even look like I'm in your way?】

[This Zhaolin Realm is backed by the power of another world, and is closely related to us. Even the Heavenly Sect shouldn't think they can stop us.]

Each will surged like a storm, stirring up the spiritual energy circulation throughout Zhongheng Daozhou and even the entire Huaixu Realm.

The vast and mighty fluctuations of primordial energy swept across the sky like windshield wipers during a rainstorm, causing even those who had reached a certain level in the Huai Xu Realm to change their expressions drastically.

Because they know... this situation will only happen under one circumstance.

That is... more than ten Lingxiao Heavenly Venerables gathered in one place.

Heaven and earth thus create waves, and all things thus rise and fall.

Anjing silently counted.

One, two, three... Forget it, what's the point of counting?
There are seventeen in total.

The auras of the seventeen Lingxiao Heavenly Venerables swirled above the sea and sky, like stars fallen to earth, causing even the heavens to collapse.

"Why didn't you bring Ancestor Haotian along... It's a good thing you didn't bring Ancestor Haotian along... Ha, even if the Ancestor came, it would be useless."

Looking around the world, An Jing should have sighed at this moment, but... how could he bear it? How could he possibly tolerate such a ridiculous thing?

He couldn't help but laugh, laughing out loud in anger: "Seventeen Celestial Venerables, the Ten Heavenly Sects have actually all arrived?"

—What the hell are you trying to do, Huai Xu Tian Dao?!
