401: Chapter 392 The Sixth Incarnation: Heavenly Venerable (80)

Wei An's voice rang out like a great bell, shaking the Chaos!

Under the enhancement of that profound power originating from the "World" itself, which came from Xu Yuan's true self, the blood-colored spear underwent an astonishing transformation!

On the spear shaft, the blood-colored radiance that originally represented the grief and resentment of all living beings now merged seamlessly with the residual sorrowful and indignant will in the vast world, as well as the "Heavenly Human" true meaning injected by Xu Yuan, blooming with an unprecedented, brilliant light that contained the essence of "Indestructibility"!

"Not good!"

Dao Lord of Destruction felt a fatal threat!

This spear strike from Wei An was no longer a simple physical attack, but rather an impact on the level of rules at a higher plane!

Where the spear light pointed, it actually caused his "Return to Void Singularity," which was already unstable and being eroded by Xu Yuan's power, as well as the will imprint connected behind it, to develop an instinctive sense of "repulsion" and "disintegration" stemming from the Dao!

Dao Lord of Destruction wanted to retreat, wanted to withdraw his power, and wanted to sever the connection, but Xu Yuan's ubiquitous, higher-tier "World" power acted like the toughest spiderweb, firmly "adhering" to and "eroding" his Origin of Destruction, making him like an insect trapped in amber, his movements sluggish and his power circulation obstructed everywhere!

Dao Lord of Destruction wanted to employ other means, but his mind was cowed by Xu Yuan's mystery and this desperate, fatal strike from Wei An, and the backlash caused by the accelerated disintegration of his projection made him suffer unspeakably!

He had no choice but to resist head-on!

"Myriad Laws Return to Void! Annihilate for this Seat!"

Dao Lord of Destruction roared, madly injecting all his remaining Origin of Destruction into that "Return to Void Singularity," attempting to use it as a core to erupt with a final, mutually destructive power of the end to destroy everything!

However, it was too late!

Wei An's blood-colored spear, which burned with everything and entrusted everything, was already carrying the world's sorrow and indignation, the spark of Humanity Order, and the true meaning of existence, piercing fiercely into the core of the "Return to Void Singularity," which was flickering with uncertain light and riddled with holes from the erosion of Xu Yuan's power!

Sss—!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a strange sound, as if a red-hot branding iron had pierced into ice, or as if ink had dripped into clear water!

The pitch-black singularity, representing "End" and "Void," and this brilliant spear light, at the moment of contact, underwent the most intense and fundamental collision and annihilation of the Dao!

"Hmph—!"

Dao Lord of Destruction groaned in pain!

The blood-colored spear did not pierce directly through the "Return to Void Singularity," but rather, like a red-hot nail, it was driven into the core of the singularity, forcibly "infusing" all of it—Xu Yuan's "existence" erosion power, the world's sorrowful and indignant will, and the protective belief of Humanity Order—inside!

The internal structure of the "Return to Void Singularity," which originally represented absolute ending, was thoroughly disrupted, polluted, and subverted!

The pitch-black light flickered and dimmed violently, expanding and contracting, until finally, amidst a teeth-gritting sound of distortion and wailing—

Boom!!!

It did not erupt outward, but rather... collapsed and disintegrated inward!

The Origin of Destruction that constituted the "Return to Void Singularity" had its Foundation of existence forcibly "negated," and under the combined attack from inside and out, it collapsed with a roar!

Along with it, that portion of the will imprint that Dao Lord of Destruction had entrusted within it, which was closely connected to his true body, also became covered in countless cracks in an instant during this disintegration, like glass shattered by a heavy hammer!

"No!"

Dao Lord of Destruction felt unprecedented intense pain and weakness; it was not just the disintegration of the projection, but damage to his true body's Dao!

The shattering of the will imprint directly backlashed onto his Origin!

This true body of his could no longer be maintained; like a sandcastle being pushed over, it began to disintegrate and dissipate inch by inch!

"It is over, Destruction."

Wei An's voice was cold and resolute, and he himself had exhausted everything in this strike; the blood-colored spear, however, remained firmly nailed to the wreckage of the "Return to Void Singularity" and the shattered will imprint, like a final tombstone and Seal, "Although I could not completely kill you, you have lost the chance for 'Soul Transformation' in this world!"

"Bastard! Ant! Thief of the Dao! I will not let you off! When I return..."

The final roar of the Dao Lord of Destruction, filled with endless resentment and unwillingness, eventually dissipated rapidly into the Chaos Void like a shattered bubble, leaving only the echoing reverberations, proving the disastrous defeat and curtain call of a Most Ancient Dao Lords.

His "true body," which covered the sky and sun and was condensed from pure destructive will and Origin, completely disintegrated, turning into fragments of pure, pitch-black Origin of Destruction dancing all over the sky.

These fragments were not material or energy remains in the ordinary sense, but the most basic fragments of the "Dao" that constituted the manifestation of the root Dao of "Destruction" in this world.

However, unlike ordinary life or even ordinary Dao Lords who, upon falling, suffer Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering and have their true spirit annihilated, as a Most Ancient Dao Lords who had long ago merged with the root Dao and become part of the Laws of heaven and earth, the "fall" of Destruction was not a demise in the true sense.

One could see that those scattered fragments of the Origin of Destruction did not remain in the Chaos for long; instead, as if drawn by some fundamental, invisible force, they began to slowly and irreversibly... merge into the surrounding Dao Laws, returning to the ubiquitous torrent of the root Dao that constituted the Foundation of this world!

The Law concepts representing "End," "Destruction," and "Return to Void," after a brief, violent fluctuation and wailing, did not disappear; instead, because of the return of a large amount of pure Origin, they appeared even more... profound and stable.

It was just that the "individual" imprint belonging to the independent existence of "Dao Lord of Destruction," who possessed self-will, had already been shattered and silenced.

This was the essence of the Most Ancient Dao Lords, or rather, the Root Dao Lords!

They had long since transcended ordinary life forms and were deeply bound to the root Dao they controlled, becoming the "Incarnation" and "spokesperson" of those Dao Laws walking in the world.

Slaying his "true body" and shattering his will imprint could certainly severely damage his individual existence, forcing him into a near-eternal slumber, but it could not erase the Dao Law of "Destruction" itself from the root.

Unless, like the legendary Dao Monarch of Destiny, one was willing to walk the path of "self-severing," actively stripping away and shattering one's own Dao fruit, would it be possible to completely "fall," but even then, one's Dao would still return to heaven and earth, continuing in another form.

Therefore, Dao Lord of Destruction did not "die"; he just "fell asleep."

His shattered will and damaged Origin returned to the Dao of Destruction in heaven and earth, falling into the deepest level of slumber, from which it was unknown how many epochs it would take to recover.

When this world once again experienced the long years of gestation and evolution, and when the authority of destruction re-condensed and manifested, perhaps at a certain specific opportunity, he would "return" in some form and once again take charge of destruction.

But by then, perhaps the seas would have changed into mulberry fields, and things would have changed, and people would be different.

At least, in this game concerning the opportunity for "Soul Transformation" and the endgame of the heavens, he had already been completely eliminated and lost the qualification to contend for the deer.
