Chapter 878 - 608: [Sequence Perfection]

The passage of time flows, like a river, and the chaotic aura of the Panwu Realm becomes increasingly oppressive.

In bygone days, seven ancient gods reigned supreme over all, enduring endless slaughter and devouring; now, only two remain standing against each other.

The Profound Primordial Lord and the Primordial Supreme God.

The former was once the Mistress of Darkness and Annihilation, the "Mother of Eternal Night," who earned the new title of "Profound Primordial Lord" after devouring the other ancient gods.

The once most powerful, who wielded the forces of flesh and vitality, the "Silkworm Master," was the first among the seven ancient gods to fall.

At that time, six ancient gods allied, attacking with thunderous might, tearing its essence apart, and dividing it among themselves, with the dominion over flesh and blood eventually being seized by the "Primordial Supreme God!"

...

Under the jurisdiction of the Panwu Realm lies the Tianwu Continent.

The infamous Demon Master Palace, once a force that stirred the continent’s winds with a dread reputation, has now transformed into the Xuanyuan Dao Sect!

This place is the source of the "Eternal Night Sequence," the Holy Land of "Xuanyuan Daoist Techniques."

And the Xu Clan, generation after generation, have been the celestial priests of the Xuanyuan Dao Sect!

Within the Celestial Priest Hall, silence reigns.

Purple-red profound mist spills from the dome, surging like a tide, suffusing the entire room.

A nearly one-zhang-sized map of Xuanyuan engulfed in black clouds hangs midair, surrounded by six vital energies, glowing with five colors; the sun, moon, and mountains appear vividly lifelike, housing a true world within.

Before the map stands a figure.

In a profound Daoist robe adorned with intricate cloud and Daoist talismans, the garment slightly sways, an aura of tranquil elegance naturally emanating.

His posture is like a pine tree, his face akin to a jade crown, sword-like brows, starry eyes, his gaze concealing a galaxy, his Daoist aura restrained, yet naturally imposing.

The contemporary Xuanyuan Celestial Priest—Zhou Yuanji.

His gaze grave, it sweeps over the depths of the map as his fingertips lightly pinch a sleeve talisman seal.

His brows slightly arch, his eyes flickering with a hint of surprise, as a faint yet clear aura of secret martial arts shattering pierces through the map’s barrier, infiltrating his perception.

"To think there would be such a disturbance."

Zhou Yuanji softly speaks, his voice clear and carried by the indifference of a Daoist.

"Very well, I shall undertake this journey."

As his words fall, his form gently shifts, rolling up the Xuanyuan map into a stream of light, swiftly departing.

...

Southwest of the Tianwu Continent.

Endless mountain ranges crisscross, peaks and ridges layered, ancient trees tower skyward.

Above the firmament, divine light erupts, golden and black rays entwine and clash, exploding into a sky full of light rain, tearing the clouds asunder.

Rumble~~

The earth veins quake wildly, mountains tremble, peaks collapse, and massive stones tumble down.

Within a hundred miles, a tide of dust surges like a wave, blotting out the sky and sun, as even sunlight is obscured by this boundless dust fog, rendering the world dark.

A bronze war chariot rolls through the void, its wheels etched with ferocious stone patterns.

Atop it stands a ten-zhang-tall giant spirit stone man, gripping a zhang-long white bone halberd, its edge stained with fresh red blood, emitting evil qi that pierces the heavens.

Zhou Yuanji’s figure hovers in the void opposite the war chariot, his gaze indifferent as it sweeps over the giant spirit stone man, he slowly speaks:

"Indeed, apart from this cannibalistic Stone Man Scripture, your esoteric sect truly has no other path."

The Stone Man Sect Leader slowly turns his head, a hint of crimson flickering within his pitch-black stone eyes, a sinister grin tugging at his lip corners:

"We consume people, but there is a limit, it is all clear and understood."

"And you Xuanyuan Dao Sect, allowing eternal night to spread, one night disaster, corpses strewn everywhere, no limit!"

Zhou Yuanji lets out a leisurely sigh:

"Paths differ, hence not consorting."

"This humble Daoist shall send you on your way!"

Before the words finish, Zhou Yuanji raises a hand pressing down, his fingertips invoking the Xuanyuan spell, Dao Seals flitting, his body’s Daoist aura suddenly surges.

Boom—

Boundless black qi of eternal night gushes from the void, surging like a tide, condensing into a massive black palm, slamming fiercely towards the bronze war chariot.

Seeing this, the Stone Man Sect Leader dares not relax his guard, roaring in anger, gripping the white bone halberd tightly, swinging it fiercely to meet the attack.

Clang—

The white bone halberd collides with the black palm with a deafening roar.

A terrifying shockwave spreads forth, scattering all the surrounding dust, causing distant mountains to crumble under the impact.

Crack—

A crisp cracking sound echoes, as the white bone halberd, unable to bear the force, breaks in half, shattering into countless fragments that scatter and fly.

The palm’s force remains undiminished, striking the Stone Man Sect Leader’s arm, shattering it piece by piece, black stone mixed with dark red blood light, all plummeting down.

The Stone Man Sect Leader exclaims in disbelief:

"How can it be!"

"Celestial Priest in Perfection! Your cultivation is truly at such a level?"

Zhou Yuanji’s cultivation far exceeded his expectations, this one strike already inflicted considerable injury upon him.

Zhou Yuanji remains silent, his eyes still indifferent, his body slightly shifting, pressing forward step by step, a terrifying oppression enveloping him.

Retreating in haste, the Stone Man Sect Leader dreads lingering in the least, hurriedly maneuvering the bronze war chariot, transforming into a beam of blue light, fleeing desperately, a trail of scattered stone blocks and bloody light left in his wake.

Zhou Yuanji follows closely behind, his form like lightning, neither hurried nor slow, always maintaining a certain distance from the Stone Man Sect Leader.

Chasing to an area between sheer mountains and cliffs, here the peaks are steep, the cliffs vast, and below stretches an abyss fathomless.

Suspending in the void, Zhou Yuanji’s expression calm, he recites under his breath, Xuanyuan spell once again invoked:

"Fall!"

A single word drops like a thunderbolt, striking within the Stone Man Sect Leader’s Divine Soul.

Suddenly, a change crosses the Stone Man Sect Leader’s face, clutching his head with both hands, shrieking in panicked agony, his cries piercing the valley:

"Ah—! My head! It hurts! I’ll risk it all with you!"

He roars, his body surging with Pill Qi, dark red Pill Qi erupts from within, like a volcanic eruption, all injected into the bronze war chariot.

Buzz—

The bronze war chariot emits a deep hum, its size immediately expanding, transforming into a gigantic bronze battleship in an instant.
