Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1022 Only the Sun Remains
【never mind】

The figure shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about the setback: "Let's deal with the others first. A great calamity has broken out outside, and everyone will be on guard, but it doesn't matter. Our enemies aren't a monolithic entity; they can't truly unite."

"Who says they can't?" Long Ying let out a low laugh, full of disdain: "They're just too confident and too arrogant. If a powerful enough enemy appeared that could make them feel despair, they would definitely join forces without hesitation."

But now...

His tone shifted, taking on a strange gentleness and... weariness: "Deal with my friend first. I can't bring myself to do it; go and kill him for me."

"Of course," the figure nodded calmly, without the slightest hesitation.

His gaze drifted towards the distant location of Fa Zichen's corpse, and he let out a barely audible sigh: "Just like when you helped me get rid of Brother Fa."

He gazed in that direction, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke, sighing, "Brother Fa, I dare not say I will survive this great calamity. If I win, I will come back to apologize to you then."

The two shadows disappeared into the darkness once more.

The clock is ticking.

When An Jing single-handedly defeated the Earth Ancestral Spirit, shaking the entire Zhaolin Realm, the others did not stop either.

In the Golden Realm, atop the Spirit Fiend Peak high in the clouds, the axe light blazes fiercely. Above, the Silverwing Bird of the Azure Sky, spewing forth crimson comet light, launches terrifying attacks and assaults time and again. Each attack is enough to pierce through the void and pierce through the flow of time. However, Mo Kongche and his 'Heavenly Sword - Law Breaker' are even more resilient and sturdy than the Silverwing Bird!
After countless direct confrontations, the Heavenly Sword in Mo Kongche's hand had accumulated enough power. This Heavenly Sword, which could absorb all external spiritual energy to enhance its own power, was so powerful after charging up that it could be described as splitting the heavens and earth. With a single slash, blade to blade, it cleaved the Golden Ancestral Spirit, which was formed from Geng metal energy and had an indestructible body, in two.

In the Woody Realm, amidst the lush forests of the land and sea, crimson divine light intertwines with the mighty power of creation. Cang Anqi of the Heavenly Mother Palace merely extends his hand, causing all withered trees to spring anew.

In the endless cycle of life and death, he relied on his fundamental skills, which far surpassed those of the ancestral spirit, and his unparalleled control over the laws of the universe to swallow the terrifying [Jianmu Qing'an] into its belly. Inside the beast's belly, he drained the ancestral spirit dry, turning it into a withered giant tree.

Cang Anqi burst forth from his abdomen, his eyes flashing with crimson light, and the blood-red color around him made him seem more like a real living being.

Meanwhile, in another volcanic area, Lian Baizheng and Duan Chenguang fought their way here. Duan Chenguang was actually slightly stronger than Lian Baizheng, but precisely because of this, he didn't want to waste his trump cards on his opponent, and thus was relentlessly stalled by the fearless Lian Baizheng.

Therefore, before they could determine a winner, a large number of demonic dragons controlled by the Blood Sea Demonic Cult had already surrounded them. In the void, it was obvious that an even more terrifying being was watching the two who were beginning to tire.

Faced with a desperate situation, Lian Baizheng did not hesitate to use the sect's resources, transforming into a streak of blood light and escaping.

"Damn it!"

Duan Chenguang, however, chose to stay behind to protect his fellow disciples who were seriously injured. His divine spear moved with incredible speed, and thanks to the blessing of the divine mandate, he had a special attack against dragons, quickly slaying several demonic dragons.

But in the end, as the shadowy figure in the dark made his move, Duan Chenguang was no match for it and was instantly struck by the terrifying dragon breath, nearly dying. But just when he thought he was doomed, a mysterious shadow quietly appeared, and in the shadow's rage, took Duan Chenguang away, saving him.

At the same time, at the top of a fiery mountain range, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens. A mysterious dragon whose origins were unknown defeated the Fire Ancestral Spirit [Huodou Zhuyan] with absolute power.

With things having come to this point, five of the Seven Luminaries Ancestral Spirits have been defeated.

The lord of the forbidden land was gradually killed by the subsequent arrival of even stronger geniuses.

Even more remarkably, two of the Forbidden Land Lords were defeated by a strange combination in an even more peculiar way.

No one could see the appearance of the person who made the move. All they saw was countless white carrier pigeons shining with the light of the divine mirror, which swarmed in and caused the Lord of the Forbidden Land to bow down wherever they passed.

Some speculate that it is the Mingjing Sect.

But is the foundation of this newly established business really that strong?
While the Mingjing Sect may indeed be that strong due to the Mandate of Heaven, it is unlikely that it would be that strong without the Mandate of Heaven.

now.

The situation in the Zhaolin Realm is now clear. All ten lords of the Forbidden Lands have been defeated.

The ancestral spirits of the Seven Luminaries—Earth, Water, Metal, Wood, and Fire—have been eliminated; the Five Luminaries have been removed.

The road to the ancestral mountain is about to open, but everyone knows that the final key lies with the two remaining and most powerful ancestral spirits, the Sun and the Moon.

"Whoever can slay the Sun and Moon will hold the ultimate trump card!"

This thought arose in the minds of all the surviving geniuses; this was the final struggle, and also the most crucial decisive battle.

However, just as everyone's gaze was fixed on the sun and moon, hanging high in the sky, seemingly unreachable—

A stream of mysterious moonlight, resembling a waterfall from the Milky Way, suddenly descended from the sky at the other end of the world!

The mysterious light flowed, icy and silent. This light was so pure that it descended silently, draping all things in a veil, as if to soak the entire Zhaolin Realm, and then... control it, to devour it!

The moon, which eats the light of the sun! The sun nourishes all living beings, and the light of all living beings is eaten by the moon, which then reflects a purer and brighter moonlight. Many demons and spirits in the world always begin their cultivation with the pure moonlight that has been filtered and harmonized many times before wandering in the mortal world, until finally they can face the glory of the sun.

The moonlight is gentle, but that doesn't mean the moon is gentle. On the contrary, it can simultaneously bear the power of the sun and the human world, shattering and transforming their power again, giving birth to endless vitality. The 'Yin' is the most terrifying and powerful kind of 'devouring and transformation' 'annihilation and rebirth'!
The power of the Moon Ancestral Spirit is far beyond that of ordinary ancestral spirits.

but……

He really chose the wrong opponent.

"Four Heavenly Swords... Divine Punishment!"

Purer and more powerful than anything else, the ultimate sword light, against the cascading waterfall of moonlight, parted the Milky Way, cleaved the radiance, and struck the moon of the Radiant Realm without hesitation!
Immediately afterwards, the bright moon in the sky began to tremble violently, and then...

come down!

Rumble!
In the Realm of Radiant Scales, the 'moon' has fallen!

A gigantic, illusory moon, composed of endless moonlight and chilling air, crashed down upon the earth with a devastating force!
But before it could land, a figure soared into the sky, heading towards the falling moon.

boom! ! !
Under the gaze of countless shocked, astonished, and incredulous eyes, the figure merely threw a single punch, shattering the illusory moon in mid-air!

The moonlight dissipated, and a chill permeated the air.

And that figure, bathed in the shattered moonlight, revealed its true form.

--who is it?
—It's him!
"It's An Jing!"

"The Moon Ancestral Spirit, the Devouring Moon Toad... was also defeated by him?!"

"He single-handedly...defeated two of the Seven Luminaries Ancestral Spirits!"

The entire Zhaolin Realm fell into a deathly silence at this moment. All eyes were focused on that figure.

Now, only one ancestral spirit remains.

Only the sun remains.
