396: Chapter 387 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (Seventy-Five)

"Hmph, two ants who do not know whether they live or die, you dare to block my Dao?"

The consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction was like the roar of billions of stars extinguishing simultaneously, and the moment Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge descended, it had already locked onto them.

The Origin of Destruction that shrouded the vast region surged slightly, not pausing in the slightest due to their appearance, as if it had merely encountered two slightly annoying stones on the path and would simply crush them.

However, when the blood-red spear in Wei An's hand, condensed from the final tragic wishes of immeasurable living beings, thrust forward with soaring blood Qi and an unyielding will, and when the pure saber light of Blade Absolute Edge, which seemed capable of severing the shackles of fate, cleaved down, a clear ripple finally stirred within the consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction, which was composed of pure destructive will—

It was not caution or regard, but a sense of "bad luck" mixed with displeasure and killing intent.

"Troublesome."

The consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction judged coldly.

Destruction was not afraid, but felt that these two "ants," especially the lad who wielded the "Human Dao" and gathered the annoying Power Of Will of the masses, might slightly delay his progress in harvesting "firewood."

It was just like encountering two particularly hard, spiked stones while clearing a path.

"Destruction · Return to Ruins."

Without any unnecessary movements, and without even manifesting a concrete form, the Dao Lord of Destruction merely shifted his mind slightly.

In an instant, with Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge at the center, the Chaos Void Realm for hundreds of millions of miles suddenly collapsed inward and annihilated!

Every concept of existence—space, time, matter, energy, even light and sound—moved toward the most thorough end in an instant, turning into a Domain of absolute "Return to Ruins" where not even "nothingness" existed!

This was the direct manifestation of the Origin of the Great Dao of Destruction, the embodiment of the will to end, sufficient to easily erase ordinary Dao Lords and completely eliminate a Dao Realm from its roots!

However—

"Break!"

Wei An roared, and the blood-red spear in his hand erupted with unprecedented, brilliant light!

In that light, the phantoms of billions of living beings appeared; some were praying, some were roaring, some were weeping, and some were fighting to the death!

These phantoms were not mere illusions, but the resonance manifestation of the final Power Of Will of the masses and Wei An's Origin of the Human Dao!

The spear thrust out; it was not a simple collision of power, but a torrent of will, heavy to the extreme, tragic to the extreme, condensing the attachment of immeasurable living beings to "life" and their struggle against "destruction," crashing headlong into that Domain of "Return to Ruins"!

Sssss—!

A harsh sound, as if a red-hot branding iron had been thrust into ice, erupted!

That absolute power of "Return to Ruins" was actually ripped open by this blood-red spear light, which had condensed the final will of all living beings in the heavens!

Although this opening was quickly filled and annihilated by more destructive power, Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge had truly withstood this first wave of destructive impact!

Wei An's body shook violently, and a wisp of dark golden Dao blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes still burned with an unyielding flame, and the spear point held firmly against the surging power of the Return to Ruins.

"Slash!"

Almost at the same time, the saber of Blade Absolute Edge arrived!

His saber lacked the vast and heavy Power Of Will of the masses that Wei An possessed, but it was extremely pure and extremely condensed!

The saber light was like snow, as if it had stripped away all external things, leaving only the core true meaning of "Slash"!

This slash did not cut matter, did not cut energy, and did not even cut Laws; it cut the "destructive will" itself, which permeated the Domain of "Return to Ruins" and was everywhere!

It was a blade aimed at the concept of "ending"!

Crack!

A slight, crisp sound, as if some invisible shackle had snapped.

That Domain of Return to Ruins, which annihilated everything, was actually slashed open, revealing a tiny "fissure" by this extremely condensed strike from Blade Absolute Edge!

Although this fissure was also fleeting and the destructive will instantly healed, a clear ripple once again stirred within the consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction, which was composed of pure ending and annihilation.

"Troublesome..."

Feeling the consumption of maintaining his true form constantly increasing while clashing with Wei An, the killing intent and impatience in the consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction nearly condensed into substance.

As one of the most ancient Origin Dao Lords, he was naturally not afraid of Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge, but if he consumed too much on Wei An, how could he fight against other Ancient Venerables when the opportunity for Soul Transformation appeared?

Thinking of this, even the most tyrannical Dao Lord of Destruction could not help but change his strategy.

"The struggle of ants always carries a nauseating sense of tragedy."

The consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction roared, carrying an indifference that looked down upon the masses and a hint of imperceptible irritation.

"Lord of the Human Dao, spirit of the Magic Treasure, do you think that gathering the wails and hatred of these dying ants can change anything? Can it stop the great trend?"

The giant palm of destruction closed slightly, further compressing the space for Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge to resist, and that power of annihilation, like maggots on a bone, constantly eroded the light of the blood-red spear and the Saber Intent of Blade Absolute Edge.

Wei An let out a muffled groan; the cracks on his body increased, and dark golden Dao blood seeped out faster, but his eyes remained fixed on that invisible core of destructive will, and the spear in his hand did not relax in the slightest.

Blade Absolute Edge's face was also pale, and silver blood, like saber light, flowed from his split tiger's mouth, but he gritted his teeth, and his saber light became even more condensed, continuously slashing at the key nodes of power circulation, such as the knuckles and palm of the giant palm of destruction, sharing the pressure for Wei An.

"Look at what you are protecting?"

The consciousness of the Dao Lord of Destruction was like a bone-scraping cold wind, sweeping across this vast region that was being blood-sacrificed.

Following his consciousness, the scene of the surroundings constantly annihilating and turning into pure destructive power presented itself more clearly in Wei An's mind—stars extinguishing, living beings wailing, the light of civilization dying out like a candle in the wind, everything moving irrevocably toward the end.

"They are but a group of ants, dust destined to vanish into nothingness; to be able to contribute to us and become a part of the birth of the opportunity for Soul Transformation is already a supreme honor."

"You burn yourself, carrying these meaningless hatreds and prayers; what can you change?"

Destruction deliberately slowed the absolute intensity of the attack, turning instead to apply a massive pressure at the level of spirit and Dao Heart, allowing Wei An to more deeply "feel" that futility and despair.

At the same time, that cold consciousness continued to pierce: "You can block me for a moment, but can you block ten of us? At this moment, Time, death, Order, Chaos... they are in other directions, harvesting everything at a speed not inferior to mine."

"You can save this one place, but can you save the heavens? What you are protecting is merely a phantom that accelerates destruction!"

"Let go of your ridiculous and meaningless persistence."

The tone of the Dao Lord of Destruction even carried a hint of near "charity," although the indifference contained within it was chilling.

"If you withdraw now, I can allow you to linger on, until the very end."

"Even, if you are sensible, I might just be able to extract a portion of your 'Human Dao' Origin before your Dao Foundation collapses, preserving a trace of your mark for you; when we transcend, perhaps I can grant you a new life."

"If you continue to resist, you, along with this little bug who uses a saber behind you, and the tragic wishes of these ants that you carry, will only turn into the most humble dust together, and even the last traces of having existed in this world will be completely erased."
