400: Chapter 391 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (Seventy-Nine)

The Dao Lord of Destruction declared coldly. That pitch-black speck of light, condensing the ultimate true meaning of destruction, carried the terrifying power to "erase" all traces of existence, descending, expanding, and blooming silently!

Absolute silence enveloped the space-time where Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge were located.

This was not a simple annihilation of energy, but a slaughter from the root level of "existence"!

It was the root Dao of "destruction" negating and ending the very concept of "existence"!

Wei An felt the connection between himself, the Origin of humanity, and the remnant will of heaven and earth being forcibly stripped and severed by an irresistible force, as if his very existence as the Lord of the Human Dao was beginning to become illusory and transparent, about to be completely erased from the "records" of this world!

Blade Absolute Edge was the same; his ultimate Saber Intent, his edge that severed everything, was like thin ice exposed to the scorching sun before that "Singularity of Return to Ruins," rapidly melting away, and with it, the very concept of his existence as "Blade Absolute Edge" began to blur and fade!

This was the might of the root Dao!

It was not a contest of Divine Abilities or Spells, but a direct application and negation of the underlying rules of the world!

It was a fundamental strike of "destruction" against "existence"!

"Not good!" Wei An's heart rang with alarm bells, and just as he was about to risk his life, at the critical moment when their traces of existence were about to be completely erased—

A sudden change occurred!

That unstoppable force of "erasure," which seemed to negate all existence, suddenly seemed to crash into an invisible, intangible, yet indestructible "Wall of Sighs" when it touched the final barrier at the core of Wei An and Blade Absolute Edge's existence!

Hum—

A low, grand hum, as if coming from the very source of the world, ignored the barriers of space-time and quietly sounded in the depths of Wei An's Soul, as well as in this absolute silent Domain shrouded by the power of "Return to Ruins"!

This hum was not a sound, but a declaration of "existence"!

Wei An's consciousness, which was about to dissipate, suddenly cleared. An indescribable, warm, and vast power, like a mother's gentle embrace or the initial fetal movement of the world, instantly enveloped the remaining true spirits of him and Blade Absolute Edge!

That power did not come from the outside, but seemed to surge from the "Origin" of their existence, naturally counteracting, neutralizing, and smoothing out that terrifying power of "erasure"!

"This is...?!"

The cold and indifferent will of the Dao Lord of Destruction experienced a violent, unbelievable fluctuation for the first time!

It felt that its power of Return to Ruins, which should have "erased" everything, felt like a clay ox entering the sea the moment it touched the core of Wei An and his companion's existence, or as if it had crashed into another "Origin" power of the same or even higher level, and was forcibly "neutralized"!

"Impossible! This is... 'existence' itself resisting 'erasure'? No, that's not right! It is interference from a higher level! Who is it?!"

The Dao Lord of Destruction was both shocked and furious, immediately sensing the heavens, attempting to find the source of the interference.

It immediately realized that this abruptly appearing power of Origin that was protecting Wei An and his companion did not come from any other known Ancient Venerables. Its nature was profound and mysterious, seemingly originating from the same source as this world itself, yet even older and purer, carrying a kind of ultimate meaning of... "nurturing all things" and "defining existence," as if it were this world itself!

Just as the Dao Lord of Destruction was in shock and doubt, a familiar and incomparably majestic voice, seemingly containing the supreme truths of the heavens, exploded like thunder in Wei An's remaining consciousness, while also soothing his near-collapsing true spirit like a spring breeze:

【"Blood sacrifice all living beings, complete heaven and earth..."】

This voice was not transmitted through Divine Sense, but resonated directly in the depths of Wei An's Dao Heart. It was none other than his true self—Xu Yuan—who was still gestating in the depths of the Source Sea of Laws and should not have appeared at this time!

Wei An instantly understood!

That was it!

The ten Most Ancient Dao Lords launched the world-destroying blood sacrifice, using immeasurable living beings and the myriad worlds of the heavens as fuel to complete the heavens through blood sacrifice. Their fundamental purpose was to complete the Dao and catalyze the opportunity for "Soul Transformation"!

But they did not know, or perhaps ignored, that this crazy blood sacrifice, while destroying the old world and burning everything, was also quietly absorbing and utilizing the unimaginably vast Origin of living beings, the Origin of the world, and fragments of the Dao in a way they could not understand, by "a certain existence" gestating in the depths of the Source Sea of Laws, accelerating its gestation and birth process!

That existence was Xu Yuan's true self!

"Who is it?! A rat hiding its head and showing its tail?!"

An unprecedented shock and anger erupted in the Dao Lord of Destruction's will, along with a trace of horror that even it itself had not noticed!

Its will swept across the heavens, but it did not find the source of this power that could suppress its Origin of destruction!

The Dao Lord of Destruction was shocked and furious. It attempted to fully retract that "Singularity of Return to Ruins" and cut off the connection with the Origin of that eroded area, but found that its connection with that part of the destructive power had become abnormally sluggish and blurred, as if separated by an invisible barrier.

What shocked Destruction even more was that the unknown, mysterious power not only protected Wei An and his companion and neutralized its "erasure," but was also counter-eroding and assimilating its pure Origin of destruction!

It could clearly feel that the power of this "true body" projection of its was being consumed and disintegrated at an unprecedented speed, its rate of collapse far exceeding ten or a hundred times that of when it was fighting Wei An and his companion!

"What kind of evil Spell is this?! To actually be able to erode my Dao Origin?!"

The Dao Lord of Destruction could no longer remain calm. The root Dao was the Foundation of its existence, the basis upon which it suppressed the ages!

At this moment, seeing signs of being eroded and assimilated by an unknown power, how could it not be terrified to the point of despair?

"Not good! This creature's methods are bizarre! It must not be left alive!"

The Dao Lord of Destruction instantly understood that the threat of this existence hidden in the dark even exceeded that of Shangqing! It must immediately withdraw, unite with other Ancient Venerables, and even... temporarily suspend the blood sacrifice to fully find and strangle this creature!

However, just at the moment when the Dao Lord of Destruction was shocked and furious, its mind was shaken, and its power operation experienced unprecedented sluggishness due to Xu Yuan's erosion and the accelerated collapse of its own projection—

"It's now!"

Wei An's eyes, which were originally on the verge of collapse, suddenly erupted with unprecedented brilliance!

The intervention of Xu Yuan's true self not only saved his life and stabilized his about-to-shatter Dao Foundation, but also injected a warm and vast power containing the true meaning of "existence" like a stimulant into his dried-up Meridians and dim Origin of humanity!

Wei An instantly seized the fleeting flaw revealed by the Dao Lord of Destruction due to its shock, loss of control over its power, and the accelerated collapse of its projection!

This might be the only opportunity, and perhaps also the last opportunity!

"Destruction! Die!"
