152: Sudden change

Master Wu Yan sighed, feeling uneasy.

He wasn't sure if Wang Qing knew about the Dao Realm's plan to drain the Hongmeng Sea.

Even if, for argument's sake, Wang Qing hadn't discovered the Dao Realm's plan yet and was just causing trouble,

once the plan to drain the Hongmeng Sea was put into action, Wang Qing would still notice something amiss, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

For these various reasons, he was already considering how to kill Wang Qing in a short amount of time.

"Regardless of whether you know about the Dao Realm's plan or not, I cannot let you leave the Dao Realm alive."

"The leader of the Transcendents Alliance failed to kill you in the last life; this time, I will definitely kill you!"

Master Wu Yan's eyes were filled with killing intent; he raised his hand, and a mysterious power surged from his palm, a small cauldron suspended in his hand.

"All things return to one, space locked!"

He chanted, and the dao realm mother cauldron in his hand rotated on its own, emitting a terrifying, unfathomable power.

In an instant, heaven and earth shook violently for a moment, and an invisible force completely sealed every space in the Dao Realm.

He put away the dao realm mother cauldron and was about to tear through space to leave and search for Wang Qing's whereabouts.

However, the next moment...

A voice came from the distant sky, "Master Wu Yan, wait, your subordinate has something to report!"

King Qin the Slaughterer arrived first, stopping Master Wu Yan from leaving.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Immediately after.

Several figures landed in front of Qiankun Hall; they were Qin Sanniang, Xiao Yifan, King Jiang the Killer, Wei Mingyu, and Long Qinghong.

The other Disciples of Qiankun Hall and Shanqiong Cave stopped in the distance, consciously not coming over to disturb them.

Master Wu Yan sighed, "King Qin the Slaughterer, I already know about Wang Qing's appearance."

"You protect the interior of the Dao Realm; if there's anything unusual, notify me immediately."

"I'm going to kill Wang Qing right now; I absolutely cannot let him discover the plan to drain the Hongmeng Sea."

After speaking, he patted King Qin the Slaughterer's shoulder, raised his hand again, crushed space, and stepped into it, departing.

King Qin the Slaughterer remained silent.

He had joined Shanqiong Cave with You Mingchan, and naturally, he also knew about the plan to drain the Hongmeng Sea.

Now that Master Wu Yan was going to kill Wang Qing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He only needed to lead people to search Qiankun Ancient City to see if there were any other suspicious individuals.

"Senior Qin, my Junior Brother and I will go to other places to see if anyone from the Primal Divine Court has descended upon the Dao Realm."

"You search in the city; if you find anything, you can immediately notify us Senior and Junior Brothers."

Wei Mingyu cupped his fists towards King Qin the Slaughterer.

He and his Junior Brother Xiao Yifan then flashed away, taking the other fellow Disciples of Qiankun Hall to search the city.

Long Qinghong pouted, but in the end, he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

King Jiang the Killer also didn't speak, quietly watching Old Ancestor King Qin the Slaughterer.

"Old Ancestor, where should we search?"

Qin Sanniang asked cautiously.

King Qin the Slaughterer pondered for a moment, "You two, mother and son, just stay in Qiankun Hall with Xiao Yifan."

"This Dominator will go with Young Lord Long to other places to look."

After making his decision, he exchanged glances with Long Qinghong and directly led the other Disciples of Shanqiong Cave away through the void.

Although Qin Sanniang longed to kill Wang Qing, the Old Ancestor had already given his order, so she could only return to Daoyuan Ancient City with King Jiang the Killer.

Time flowed... a few more days passed.

Outside Qiankun City, on a mountain peak that towered into the clouds, Wang Qing had changed into a black and gold robe, his white hair fluttering.

His handsome face showed a hint of displeasure; his Divine Thought swept across every area, and people were searching everywhere.

It was obvious that those searching every corner of the Dao Realm were looking for him.

However, if he intended to hide, even a Dao Realm existence wouldn't be able to discover his tracks.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

A gentle breeze swept by, heaven and earth twisted for an instant, and Zhuge Yuanxi, her figure concealed by a wide black robe, stepped out from within.

"The Hongmeng Nine Burials Leaving Heaven Formation is ready; the Nine Burials Calamity will descend upon this space-time of the Dao Realm soon."

"How are your preparations for drawing upon the power of nothingness?"

Her breath was like orchids, and her beautiful eyes beneath the bronze mask revealed a mocking and questioning look.

Wang Qing hadn't made any moves these past few days.

She was truly afraid that Wang Qing would back out at the critical moment, and then the struggle for the myriad things mother cauldron would become an empty talk.

"Haha, the preparations for drawing upon the power of nothingness have long been ready; you just need to let the Nine Burials Calamity descend."

Wang Qing laughed heartily, dispelling Zhuge Yuanxi's worries.

"Alright! I'll go activate the Hongmeng Nine Burials Leaving Heaven Formation now!" Zhuge Yuanxi nodded and turned to leave again.

Seeing her leave, Wang Qing also transformed into a black mist and vanished into this world.

Before long, the Dao Realm would be on the verge of shattering, with no one left alive.

After an unknown amount of time... "Boom... Rumble!!!"

A colossal explosion, far from an ordinary thunderclap, as if originating from the Grandmist Primordial, suddenly erupted!

The entire sky and cloud sea of the Dao Realm were not illuminated but instantly lost all color, turning into a desolate, deep gray.

An invisible, supreme power, like a tide, surged and flowed between the clouds.

Wherever this invisible power passed, space itself let out a pained wail, unable to bear the burden.

"How did the Hongmeng Nine Burials Leaving Heaven Formation suddenly activate?"

In front of Qiankun Hall, Master Wu Yan hurriedly shattered space and appeared.

He looked up at the sky, which had turned into a gray tomb cover, and his entire being felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his face pale.

Cave Master Shan Qiong had not yet returned from Mount Sumeru.

The leader of the Transcendents Alliance had said a few days ago that the Hongmeng Nine Burials Leaving Heaven Formation would take at least three more months to activate.

Now, the Formation had descended without warning, and the aura of annihilation permeated that gray sky.

Even a living fossil as strong as Master Wu Yan, who had reached the end of Cultivation, couldn't help but tremble all over.

He had just been searching for Wang Qing's tracks in the starry sky outside the Dao Realm, but at this moment, he was terrified by this world-ending scene.

"Boom! Crack... Snap!!!"

Immediately after.

Several indescribably terrifying thunderclaps exploded again, as if the sky itself was being torn apart.

Then, a black Lightning Tribulation, thick as a mountain range, chaotic in color, and entwined with the Law of Nine Burials,

like a world-destroying giant spear, fiercely pierced through the gray sky and plummeted down!

The moment this Lightning Tribulation fell, the earth of the Dao Realm shook violently, countless bottomless giant ravines were torn open.

Majestic mountain ranges snapped in half, and the boundless ocean was stirred into towering waves, pouring inland, devouring everything.

The Qiankun Ancient City's protective Grand Formation, which had been passed down for ages and was said to be indestructible,

couldn't even hold for a single breath in front of the aftershock of this Lightning Tribulation, and silently annihilated like a bubble.

After the first Lightning Tribulation... one terrifying Nine Burials Lightning Tribulation after another followed closely, accurately striking into the ancient city.

Prosperous pavilions and magnificent palaces, at the moment the lightning touched them, directly decomposed into primordial nothingness.

The many living beings in the city, before they even had time to show expressions of terror, had their life force extinguished by the supreme Law of Nine Burials.

Their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls were instantly vaporized together, completely returning to nothingness, leaving not even a trace of their existence.
