Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 1078 Today, I'll give you a chance to challenge me.

Kuiyan suddenly laughed.

In that smile, both demonic flames and killing intent reached their peak.

"I, Kuiyan, have roamed the world with unparalleled might, never submitting to anyone. You insignificant insects dare to challenge me?"

"Today, I'm giving you a chance to challenge me."

It raised both claws at the same time.

Although bound by chains, it could only be lifted a few feet, but even that distance was enough to accumulate power.

"Take my last two moves—"

"You should go over there."

Before he finished speaking, the demonic flames around Kuiyan surged!

The seven black iron chains that had bound it for thirty thousand years vibrated wildly in that instant, emitting a piercing roar. The eerie blue runes on the chains flickered frantically, attempting to suppress this surging power.

But before the dark purple demonic flames, the runes began—

Shattered into pieces!

The chain itself was trembling, and tiny cracks appeared between the iron rings!

Kuiyan is burning its own origin! At the cost of damaging its foundation, it is forcibly unleashing the power that has been suppressed for 30,000 years!

It held its paws in a half-open embrace, and boundless demonic energy frantically gathered between its palms. The demonic energy was as thick as ink, swirling like a vortex, and at the center of the vortex, a dark purple demonic bead slowly took shape.

That demonic orb was only the size of a fist, but the aura it emitted was enough to make even a peak Venerable tremble with fear!

It held its paws in a half-open embrace, and boundless demonic energy frantically gathered between its palms. The demonic energy was as thick as ink, swirling like a vortex, and at the center of the vortex, a dark purple demonic bead slowly took shape.

That magic bead was only the size of a fist, but the oppressive aura it emitted was enough to make one's soul almost fly away!

The space around the bead was constantly collapsing and reforming, revealing the pure laws of destruction!

The entire eighth level of heaven and earth began to collapse!

Large swaths of the dark red sky peeled away, revealing the deep darkness of the void.

The scorched earth shattered, and lava poured into the sky, forming a series of crimson waterfalls that flowed upwards.

The space itself is like a shattered mirror, covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

"The first move."

Kuiyan's voice was deep and resonant, like the tolling of an apocalyptic bell:

"All demons return to nothingness."

The magic orb burst forth from the sky.

There was no trace, no sound, and not even any energy fluctuations could be detected.

The magic orb seemed to be teleporting, not flying.

From the moment of gathering energy to the moment of reaching the goal, the intermediate "process" has been directly omitted!

In Zhang Yuan's pupils, the reflection of the magic orb was rapidly magnified.

There is no way to avoid it.

There was no way to retreat.

But he did not back down.

In that instant, Zhang Yuan remembered many things.

He thought of his journey from the Qin Dynasty to the prehistoric world, and of Zhao Yu, Tao Gongzi, and everyone who had entrusted their lives to him.

But it wasn't for reminiscing.

Rather, it was to figure out a problem.

What is the Tao?

He already knew before he came that the Star Gang and the Chaos were two completely opposite paths.

The stars represent order. The operation of the Heavenly Way, the constancy of laws, and the ultimate belonging of all things.

Such was the way of Heaven in the Great Qin Dynasty: clear rules and orderly cause and effect.

Chaos represents disorder.

It devours everything, dissolves everything, and reduces all rules to nothingness.

Such was the primordial chaos: violent, primitive, and untamed.

He is walking both paths.

But he never actually combined them.

Because in his understanding, order and disorder are contradictory.

Like water and fire, light and darkness, life and death.

Therefore, his "half-step Hunyuan" is just a forced cobbling together, a false image maintained by willpower.

But at that moment, he suddenly understood.

He fought against the enemy relentlessly, crushing everything with absolute power.

However, his path is essentially a bridge that deconstructs all that is old and stale, and integrates with all things through a completely new order.

The essence of the demon is destruction, the destruction of all things!

Destroy him, and you will destroy everything that stands in his way!

"call--"

Zhang Yuan let out a breath.

That breath carried the gray of chaos and the silver of starlight.

For the first time, the fiercely churning half-step Primordial Chaos power within his body voluntarily parted to make way. His left hand shone with dazzling starlight.

That was the Heavenly Way of the Great Qin, the spark he brought from his distant homeland to the primordial wilderness.

Right hand, a chaotic gray light.

That was the origin of the primordial world, the power he gradually condensed in this world.

The two forces are inherently incompatible.

But Zhang Yuan's will served as a bridge between them.

At the same instant the magic orb touched the body.

Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and clapped out with both hands, left and right, simultaneously!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his left hand transformed into the Starry Sky Immortal, his right hand condensed the Chaos Immortal, and the Sword Intent of Immortal Slaughter flew out from between his brows, the three swords becoming one!

Faced with the demonic orb that brought destruction, a giant sword of nothingness materialized from the void.

The sword's blade, like a rainbow, pierces through heaven and earth!

Zhang Yuan gripped the ethereal giant sword, which contained all the power, with both hands.

"Thirteen Ferocious Swords: Immortal Slayer! Immortal Annihilator! Immortal Trapper!"

The phrase "all demons return to nothingness" does not mean reducing everything to nothingness.

Instead, the goal is to return everything to chaos, to let heaven and earth return to their primordial state before all things came into being.

This is the Great Dao of Destruction, the ultimate law of destruction.

His Immortal Slaying Sword Intent cuts precisely the laws themselves!

"boom--!!!"

The Void Greatsword and the Myriad Demon Returning to the Void Demon Orb clashed fiercely in the void!

In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

All sound was sucked out.

All the light was swallowed up in that moment.

Then--

The heavens and earth exploded!

The terrifying energy surge spread wildly in all directions!

Scorched earth was hurled to the sky, magma was evaporated into nothingness, and space itself was blasted into one huge hole after another!

Zhang Yuan retreated three hundred feet backward, his feet carving two deep, bloody furrows into the ground.

His robes were torn to shreds, his skin cracked inch by inch, and blood mixed with the energy of stars and chaos gushed from his wounds, splattering onto the scorched earth with a hissing sound.

But he remained standing.

The opposing Kuiyan was also having a tough time.

Its massive body staggered back half a step, and the black iron chain piercing its chest was slashed by the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Intent, leaving a tiny, incredibly tiny crack!

Although it was just a tiny crack, it was quickly healed by the suppressive force of thirty thousand years.

But in that instant—

It felt the breath of freedom that it hadn't experienced for a full 30,000 years!

Kuiyan lowered his head, staring at the almost invisible crack in the chain on his chest, and remained silent for a long time.

Then it raised its head and looked at Zhang Yuan.

Those two completely different eyes.

A pitch-black void, a crimson sea of ​​blood.

At the same time, it flashed with extremely complex emotions.

It smiled.

This smile was like that of a king who had been imprisoned for 30,000 years, finally seeing someone who stood on the same side as him.

"You..." For the first time, Kuiyan's voice was no longer so cold, no longer so mocking, no longer so angry, but carried a hint of indescribable approval, "You are not fighting against the Law of Destruction."

"You are embracing it."

"Embrace chaos, embrace destruction, embrace everything you think should be rejected—"

"You must merge order and chaos together."

Zhang Yuan remained silent.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, holding the Zhenyue Token horizontally in front of him, assuming a defensive stance.

He could barely lift his arms anymore.

But his eyes were very bright, strikingly bright.

"There's one last move." (End of Chapter)
