Chapter 137 The cause and effect are settled, Qiankun dies.
And at the very moment the defense was set up—
Time seemed to stretch out, and space seemed to freeze.
The Daoist Qiankun emanated a terrifying light, the radiance of the Primordial Chaos Source burning to its extreme, carrying the Daoist rhyme of destruction and end.
His entire body began to become transparent, with countless fine cracks spreading from the inside out, like a glass vessel about to shatter.
"boom!!!!!!!!!!!"
A deafening explosion, beyond description, suddenly occurred!
This deafening roar not only shook eardrums but also directly shattered the very essence of one's primordial spirit. The entire Ancient Abyss was plunged into absolute chaos at that moment.
Instead of spreading outwards, it first shrank inwards from the cave dwelling of the Qiankun Daoist, forming a point of absolute darkness and silence.
This point greedily devours everything around it—light, sound, spiritual energy, even time itself is distorted. Within this extreme silence lies a suffocating destructive power.
Immediately, this point expanded and exploded outwards as if the world had been created!
An unimaginable torrent of energy, mixed with shattered laws of heaven and earth, fragments of space, earthly evil winds, and everything that the Daoist of Heaven and Earth had burned, transformed into a gray-black shockwave that destroyed everything.
Wherever this shockwave passed, everything was reduced to nothingness, and the laws of nature collapsed, as if it were trying to pull this world back to the era before chaos was created.
The first to be affected were the Xuanhuang Barrier and the thousands of golden lotuses set up by Zhen Yuanzi.
"Click—click—"
The incredibly tough Xuanhuang barrier emitted a teeth-grinding groan under the impact of this concentrated burst of power, which contained a trace of the annihilating power of the Chaos Demon God's origin.
On the surface of the barrier, the Dao patterns representing the primordial earth veins flickered, and the fine cracks spread like a spider web, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.
The thousands of golden lotuses were like candle flames in a raging storm, annihilated one after another under the impact of the destructive energy, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating into the void.
The annihilation of each golden lotus represents the destruction of a guardian of the Dao.
The entire Wanhe Ancient Abyss was trembling violently. Countless canyons collapsed in the shockwaves, and billions of tons of boulders turned into dust. The earth undulated like waves, and space shattered in patches, revealing the raging earth, water, fire, and wind behind. This world seemed to have returned to the beginning of creation, with scenes of destruction everywhere.
Zhen Yuanzi grunted, his body swaying slightly, his black Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.
But his eyes remained as calm as ice, as if the world-destroying scene before him was nothing but an illusion.
His body was enveloped in a chaotic Daoist aura, and his feet seemed to be connected to the entire western land, channeling the terrifying backlash through the Earth Book into the boundless earth veins.
Hongyun's face also turned pale, and the Four Symbols Seal violently trembled.
The Azure Dragon's phantom appeared and disappeared amidst the energy impact, the White Tiger roared as it resisted the destructive waves, the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings and showered endless fire rain in an attempt to incinerate the raging energy, while the Black Tortoise's Dao patterns on its tortoise shell flickered, bearing the greatest pressure.
However, the Four Symbols Seal ultimately remained intact, firmly locking down the outer perimeter and preventing the explosive force from spreading indefinitely.
As Qiankun Daoist had predicted, the power of this self-destruction did not truly injure Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun, who were prepared and whose strength surpassed that of the past.
The combined defense of a mid-stage and early-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, along with the Earth Book, a supreme treasure of the earth, was indeed not something that could be easily torn apart by the self-destruction of a severely injured and dying person.
However, this was not Qiankun Daoist's purpose!
At that very moment, when the destructive energy exploded to its extreme, the blinding light and chaotic laws obscured all perception, and the spatial structure was at its most disordered and collapsed!
A faint, almost transparent stream of light, emanating the last primordial aura of the Daoist of Heaven and Earth, was only an inch long. It was like an arrow released from a bowstring, or a fish swimming into the sea.
Using the massive spatial ripples and chaotic laws generated by the self-destruction as cover, he instantly pierced through layers of energy turbulence in a way that transcended ordinary escape techniques.
This stream of light was exceptionally agile, weaving through the shattered gaps in space, sometimes vanishing into nothingness, sometimes manifesting as a solid entity.
It even ignored the solidification effect of the Four Symbols Sealing on space set up by the red clouds to a certain extent, and shot towards the deepest part of the Ancient Abyss, a spatial rift that had just been blasted open and connected to an unknown dark place!
This was Qiankun Daoist's last resort: the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell!
He sacrificed his own physical body, most of his magical power, and even his Dao foundation to create this earth-shattering illusion of self-destruction.
The real purpose was to cover his escape, which contained the last trace of his natal spirit and the origin of the universe.
Although this primordial spirit seed is weak, it contains the Qiankun Daoist's lifelong cultivation insights and understanding of the Great Dao of Space.
As long as this wisp of primordial spirit seed remains intact, given time, he can completely rebuild his Dao body in some hidden place. Although his cultivation will be greatly damaged, it is still a thousand times better than his body and soul being destroyed!
"Trying to leave?!"
Almost the instant the primordial spirit seed was activated, Zhen Yuanzi's icy voice rang out.
He seemed to have anticipated this move! Within his dual pupils, a chaotic light flowed, piercing through layers of turbulent energy and precisely locking onto the faint stream of light weaving through the chaos.
Before the dust from the self-destruction had settled and the energy surge was still raging, Zhen Yuanzi had already made his move!
He didn't use any powerful spiritual treasures, but instead pointed his fingers like a sword, seemingly casually, in the direction where the primordial spirit had fled. This single finger contained his supreme understanding of the "Earth Chaos Scripture," and the true meaning of the evolution of chaos and the return of all things to nothingness.
"From chaos to nothingness, tracing back to the source!"
A fingertip, as thin as a hair, with a hazy gray color, seemingly capable of swallowing all light and perception, silently pierced through the void.
It is unassuming and unassuming, yet it contains a terrifying power that allows all things to return to their origin.
This finger strike arrived faster than expected, ignoring the chaotic energy and shattered space, and precisely caught up with the primordial spirit seed that was about to disappear into the spatial rift!
This is not a physical attack, but a Daoist attack that goes straight to the source and traces the cause and effect!
"No-!!"
From within that primordial spirit seed came the desperate and unwilling scream of the Daoist Qiankun.
He felt an irresistible force, as if it could return everything to chaos, envelop him.
This force does not intend to immediately obliterate him, but rather to trace, lock, and even erase the very foundation of his existence by following the last causal link between him and the primordial world and the damaged Qiankun Cauldron!
At that very moment, the Qiankun Cauldron, which was hovering beside Zhen Yuanzi, trembled with a final, mournful cry.
The core origin mark belonging to the Qiankun Daoist on the cauldron body was extinguished suddenly under the impact of the power of cause and effect, like a candle flickering in the wind!
The cause and effect have been severed, and the source has been eradicated!
The primordial spirit seed, entangled by the gray finger energy, seemed to have lost all its support; its light dimmed instantly, and its struggling movements came to an abrupt halt.
Fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the true seed, revealing the last trace of the aura belonging to the Daoist of Qiankun.
Finally, with a faint sound, like glass shattering.
The primordial spirit seed that held Qiankun Daoist's last hope was completely annihilated, transforming into the most primitive energy particles and dissipating into the chaotic void.
In the primordial world, the last trace of the Chaos Demon God Qiankun Daoren was completely erased here.
