Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1199 Leaving it unattended
The imperial edict has been issued.

The light also gained mass, which caused all the laws of the universe to collapse to spread at the original speed of light, while the stagnant light chased after it at a slower speed, transforming into an initial rainbow and then a dark tide. Such a wondrous sight was a phenomenon that transcended cause and effect.

If observed from the perspective of a Celestial Venerable who transcends light, one can see that a huge, pitch-black void is rapidly expanding. After enveloping the entire Divine Capital Domain, it continues to spread, forming a complete circle and even swallowing parts of other domains.

[Wow, that's Old Xuan's killer move from back then! Retreat!]

What on earth happened to Xiao Hong? Why did he suddenly become so desperate in the fight?!

Above the capital, the four imperial weapons cried out in alarm, then without hesitation activated their power and fled into the distance. Gu Yeqi was also taken along by them, somewhat bewildered: "What happened? Will Senior Brother be alright?"

[Junior] Tianwang Sword explained in a mature yet well-intentioned voice: [This is 'Xuanming Water Control,' one of the three great divine abilities of that old bastard Xuantianji. It can transform all things into Xuanming, controlling all things. It is extremely difficult to deal with, and countless Lingxiao have fallen to this move.]

[While Xiao Hong's technique lacks destructive power, it has become much more meticulous thanks to the refinement it has undergone over the past 30,000 years in the Great Chen Dynasty. Based on my understanding of the Xuan Tian Sacrifice, even he himself couldn't achieve such perfect control. It's probably one of the most powerful seals in the world!]

"As for your senior brother..." Hong Jiangding, who was still fighting the Heavenly King Sword, smoothly took over the conversation, completely unlike the two who were just engaged in fierce combat: "As expected of the founder of the new path, he was able to fight against Ling Xiao, who possessed infinite power, without even touching the Infinite Body, and even win the battle. Even with the help of the Divine Capital's power, it was still a completely unequal battle."

Not to mention Da Chen, his talent ranks among the best in the entire Huai Xu, and even among the Venerables of the Dao Court's homeland.

However, he still lacked sufficient experience. If given a hundred years, I believe he could directly suppress Xiao Hong, or even the remnants of the old man. But now...

He looked at the capital city, now shrouded in absolute darkness, and said in a complex tone: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

And to the outside world.

Should we make a move?

The current Dragon God, who was confronting the other Lingxiao masters of the Ten Continents, sent a message to the Haotian Mirror. His tone was solemn: "[The divine power left behind by the Xuantian Sacrifice is a genuine method of refining the Dao of the Nine Heavens. Although it was not activated by Himself, and there are differences in power and range, it is more than enough as a seal. If He were not fully awakened, He would definitely not be able to resist it.]"

If An Jing is completely trapped inside, even we... will have a very difficult time rescuing him.

[Leave it alone]

But Haotian Mirror answered without hesitation: "Don't worry, An Jing's true form is outside the heavens. What descended was merely an avatar. Even if it is temporarily sealed, there will be no real loss."

If we don't suppress the covetous eyes of the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent and the other Nine Continents now, the Northern Profound Sacrifice Continent will truly descend into chaos, and what will happen then is truly unpredictable!

The Dragon God hesitated for a moment, but considering that An Jing was indeed someone who had repeatedly surprised everyone, and that He understood the special nature of the Ascension Cave Heaven Path, He decided to believe him for the time being.

But the situation was a little more critical than anyone imagined.

"Interesting. The Black Emperor once severed the connection between heaven and earth and controlled all laws. The true meaning of this 'Mysterious Nether Water' was actually learned by Xuan Tianji and transformed into talismans that have been passed down to later generations!"

Having just escaped the confinement of the 'Star of Unity', An Jing immediately realized upon entering the outside world that he had fallen into an even larger prison. In a world where even light has been given mass, the four fundamental forces are in disarray. Electromagnetism collapses directly, and the strong and weak forces are rapidly changing under the influence of the Xuanming Sishui True Talisman. The spacetime of the Huaixu Realm within a local area is rapidly collapsing and changing.

This is a kind of 'boundless power', a power that spreads infinitely and can even affect the entire Huai Xu Realm to some extent, just like when Hong Chao Tianzun of the Blood Sea Demon Sect stirred up the Blood Sea Calamity. If Grand Tutor Hong had enough time to prepare, he could probably really make the speed of light in the Ten Continents malfunction, either accelerating or decelerating, burning some fertile regions into deserts, or turning densely populated cities into nothingness like the current Shenjing.

If it were an ordinary Celestial Venerable, they would certainly have to use their respective 'Boundless Power' to fight against it. All beings below the Celestial Venerable level, even those at the peak of the Celestial Monarch level, could only hold out for a short while before having to flee. They absolutely could not survive for long.

But Anjing is different.

Because he himself is another world, another universe... And in an infinite universe, the speed of light is different, light has mass, and a universe with an infinite speed of light can exist, it's just that humans cannot exist in it, the universe itself exists.

However, even with the extreme resistance brought by the Eternal Battle Body and the Cave Heaven Technique, he could only guarantee his own existence.

In a universe where light has been endowed with mass, he cannot interfere with anything externally because all things, including wind, thunder, and electromagnetic forces, have disappeared. He cannot touch anything, nor can he interfere with any external spiritual forces, because spiritual forces are themselves a special kind of energy and causal aggregate, which cannot function under the current circumstances.

Even his own will was locked in this cage, unable to return to his original form in the cave.

This is a real prison.

This is my trump card.

Having accomplished all this, Grand Tutor Hong, wielding the Xuanming Water True Talisman, wearily lowered his hand. His voice could no longer carry, and even his body was gradually disintegrating, leaving only pure will: [Clear and turbid, ignorance and delusion, this is the final cage I originally prepared for the Holy Ancestor... Using the entire Divine Capital as the boundary, I will gradually shrink the power of this seal, sealing only you and the Holy Ancestor within it.]

Although countless lives were lost, it's still better than the Holy Ancestor truly reviving... Anjing, all of this is because of you! Otherwise, we might have had another hundred years to plan and minimize the losses!

"If the Shangxuan Sect hadn't told me that you would have caused the Northern Xuan Sacrifice Continent to sink, I wouldn't have come here in such a hurry. Now it seems that it's still a bit too late."

An Jing simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention to such criticisms.

Although he did not believe that the Shangxuan Sect could truly predict the future, Da Chen must have sealed the Xuan Tian Sacrifice according to the plan of Grand Tutor Hong and Yin Gujin in the timeline when Bai Qinghan became one of the Seven Fiends.

He didn't know the specific outcome, but Bai Qinghan would definitely sink the entire Beixuan Sacrifice Continent in the end.

Based on An Jing's understanding of Bai Qinghan, despite her constant talk of killing everyone, she is actually someone who is easily moved by human warmth. After all, the Seven Fiends are all people with rich emotions; otherwise, they wouldn't have felt boundless rage over various human affairs.

After she killed all the imperial bloodline, that would be about it. At most, she could take the opportunity to kill any officials in the capital she didn't like, and even all the celestial officials in the world. There was no need for her to destroy the world. Even if she really did want to destroy the world because of a momentary lapse of judgment, she would definitely hold back if she heard the cries and pleas of innocent people in the process.

Therefore, the fact that things reached that point was definitely due to a mistake by Grand Tutor Hong and his group. On the surface, they sealed the Xuan Tian Sacrifice, but in reality, they helped the other side, to the point that Bai Qinghan had no choice but to destroy the world in order to ensure the complete annihilation of the Xuan bloodline.
