Chapter 280: Divine Visage! Emperor's Path Opens! Yu Zhi Spirit!

Entropy Annihilation and Xuanyan had never met, yet the former bestowed a great gift upon the latter.

This gift was in recognition of Xuanyan's protection of Su Changqing.

It was also a prelude to Su Changqing's upcoming visit to Daoism to collect the Time Force.

The 'illness' within Daoism could not be cured by its own people and required a sharp external blade.

Xuanyan, upon realizing this, naturally understood the situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have conceived the idea of reorganizing the Xuanqing Clan.

Now, Entropy Annihilation's words had torn away the veil covering Daoism's flaws.

While this made the people of Daoism furious, it also allowed them to momentarily recognize their shortcomings.

Of course, compared to the few wise individuals, most of Daoism's disciples were immensely angry!

At this moment, curses echoed from all the major Daoisms in the Eastern Domain.

"Scoundrel! Elder Brother Lingxu Zi never harmed you, yet you still seek to destroy his divine consciousness!"

"Ungrateful wretch, Elder Brother should have acted with others to cut off your opportunities completely!"

"Hmph! Demon is a demon, such ruthless means, regardless of right or wrong, I won't let him get away with it!"

"Exactly, how dare you call us cowards? We'll show you when you come to Daoism!"

Furious rebukes rose from the Xuanqing Clan and the major Daoisms, reaching the heavens.

The sect leaders or elders, perhaps with a broader perspective, wore thoughtful expressions.

But more often, it was the young Heavenly Prides who were filled with anger and murderous intent.

In their view, Lingxu Zi not harming Su Changqing was already a great act of kindness.

Now, Su Changqing repaid kindness with ingratitude and even humiliated Daoism in front of the entire world.

This made all Daoism disciples boil with rage.

"Absolutely—"

Hearing the curses in his ears, Xuanyan dared not meet Entropy Annihilation's eyes.

His chest heaved with anger, and he waved his sleeve, exclaiming, "I am utterly ashamed!"

No one could understand Xuanyan's fury at this moment.

He saw the goodwill in Entropy Annihilation's actions.

Entropy Annihilation could have acted directly, given his ruthless and decisive nature, why would he waste words on Lingxu Zi?

But this goodwill was treated as worthless by the Daoism disciples.

This made the great powers of Daoism, who could see through the essence, bow in apology to Entropy Annihilation in the sky.

Among them was Xuanqing Zi.

He stood atop a solitary mountain, looking up at the sky with a smile on his face.

"Truly, this is the one who will bring great prosperity to Daoism!"

...

"Huh."

On the Dao Platform, Entropy Annihilation could clearly hear the endless curses.

However, he remained unperturbed, merely smiling indifferently.

When the world defames, slanders, belittles, and devalues me, how should I respond?

Ultimately, only destruction remains.

To him, all things in the world were illusions.

He was helping Su Changqing, not Daoism!

"Hmph! Such a ruthless heart, and you still claim to be not dark?"

At this moment, Ximen Xiu stood in the sky, looking at Entropy Annihilation and sneered:

"Did you hear the world's curses?"

"From today on, you will have no place to hide in the Continent!"

In the past, Su Changqing's enmity with the world might have required the instigation of Ximen Xiu, Kasyapa, and others.

But now, it was no longer necessary.

"World's curses?"

Entropy Annihilation's lips curled slightly, his eyes glowing with dark light, and he said:

"Do you think I care about the anger of mere ants?"

These words enraged the entire world.

Entropy Annihilation's indifferent arrogance caused the Continent to erupt in a storm of curses.

Ximen Xiu's gaze on Entropy Annihilation grew intense.

He could tell that the other party truly didn't care what others thought.

It seemed that all living beings were as insignificant as ants in his eyes.

"Hmph! Relying on some talent, you act as if no one else matters."

Zhao Shanke stepped forward, his voice cold, "You should know that there are always people better than you and higher realms beyond the heavens."

"Ha ha ha!"

Entropy Annihilation burst into laughter, a colossal wave of darkness and destruction surging around him.

His silver hair danced wildly as he pointed at Zhao Shanke, Ximen Xiu, and other top powers, "The Fenyuntaif rules have been lost, and boundless fortune will suppress you all to the peak of the Divine Output realm."

"Those who wish to kill me, come to the stage."

"Even a Peak Near-Emperor or an Emperor Reincarnation, I can crush with a single hand!"

"You—"

He paused, his eyes filled with mockery, "Do you believe me?"

World's curses were cut short, and the intimidating aura of those top powers suddenly faltered.

Who in their right mind would fight Entropy Annihilation at the same level?

Who could match someone who single-handedly destroyed five top Divine Output powers?

Even an Emperor Reincarnation, whose combat strength was only slightly better than Chu Xi's Imperial Body, would surely be defeated by Entropy Annihilation!

In the Divine Aspect Realm, with the World's fortune fused and the World-Ending Phase condensed, Entropy Annihilation had truly become invincible!

His words fell, and the world fell silent.

Entropy Annihilation saw this and did not speak, only laughing loudly, the boundless destructive power shaking the heavens and earth.

His laughter was filled with disdain for the world and mockery for all living beings.

At this moment, the people of the World, even the Fiends, looked up at the sky in anger, yet they had no words to defend themselves.

It seemed that all they could do was be angry.

That lone figure, standing at the center of the world, shrouded in darkness, had suppressed the pride of all.

But just then.

The boundless fortune in the sky trembled, and the surging rivers of power suddenly stopped.

Boom!

In the next moment, Su Changqing, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes.

Bright, clear, and gentle.

Those were eyes entirely different from the brutal, heartless eyes of Entropy Annihilation.

The moment he opened his eyes, a colossal figure behind him began to grow in the storm!

Ten zhang!

A hundred zhang!

Nine hundred and ninety-nine zhan!

In an instant, the indistinct giant reached the limits of the Divine Aspect Realm.

But it didn't stop there!

The giant roared to the sky, his voice shaking the heavens and earth.

Under the suppression of the world's rules, his body continued to expand!

A thousand zhang!

Two thousand zhang!

Three thousand zhang...

The colossal figure, watched in shock by countless people, ultimately stood like a celestial god, overlooking the world.

Su Changqing slowly rose, his shoulders seemingly bearing the sky, with a momentum that could topple the heavens.

Buzz!

At this moment, the World-Ending Phase condensed by Entropy Annihilation, sensing a mortal enemy, appeared on its own.

An ancient, vast World-Ending Mill emerged in the sky, slowly turning.

Boundless destruction and darkness covered half the sky.

The colossal godly figure behind Su Changqing slowly opened its eyes.

Within them, the sun and moon seemed to rotate, emitting endless light with the aura of creation, forcefully separating the darkness.

The vast world was now divided into two.

On one side, the World-Ending Mill, shrouded in darkness.

On the other side, the godly figure, bathed in light!

Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation stood facing each other, their gazes complex and unreadable.

No one knew what they were thinking.

The people of the World watched in stunned amazement.

It seemed they had found a being who could match Entropy Annihilation.

That being was... himself!

...

Though Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation did not speak, they understood each other's intentions.

They all knew that the time to part ways was approaching.

The 'Black Jade,' 'Nirvana Flame,' and Tong Lin's intrinsic darkness formed the body of Entropy Annihilation.

In the past, the two coexisted as one because Entropy Annihilation had just been born and had yet to understand his path.

Now that the path is clear, two souls heading in opposite directions are no longer suitable to walk together.

Different paths should not be shared.

However, today seemed to be particularly eventful.

Before Su Changqing could ask anything, the integrated world's fortune suddenly shattered.

The vast fortune split into nine parts, radiating out from the sky and merging into the various Dao Lineages of the World.

Elves, Demons, Martial Artists, Daoists, Buddhists, Swordsmen, Alchemists, and the Forbidden Zone.

Among these eight Dao Lineages, the Forbidden Zone received the strongest share of the fortune.

This was because they had claimed the Dao Platform positions originally belonging to the Continent's Demons and Confucians.

In essence, they had taken two-tenths of the World's fortune.

The other Dao Lineages, such as Martial Artists and Daoists, received equal shares of fortune, with no significant differences among them.

Of the separated fortunes, the strongest and most vibrant was the last one!

The Dark Altar, which had consumed one-third of the World's fortune, now welcomed its greatest destiny.

One-third of the World's fortune!

This fortune was far stronger than that of the other Dao Lineages, even surpassing the Forbidden Zone, which occupied two Dao Platforms.

Logically, this fortune should have belonged to the Dark Forbidden Zone.

This great destiny was the result of the Yuzhi Demon God exchanging a vast amount of rare resources.

But now, this destiny had been claimed by Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation.

However, this also brought up a new problem.

The cultivators on other Dao Platforms each had their own path.

The World's fortune merged into their respective Dao Lineages, not into the individuals themselves.

But what about Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation?

Only they stood on the Dark Altar. What Dao Lineage did they belong to?

Su Changqing's cultivation was diverse, but his true path was the Heavenly Dao, the path of salvation!

And what about Entropy Annihilation?

His path was pure and simple: destruction would define his life.

His path was the path of destruction!

These were Dao Lineages, but in the entire World, and even in all of Yuzhi, only they two practiced these paths.

More importantly, they were a dual soul entity, inseparable!

Given this, how would the fortune be bestowed?

The Heavenly Dao seemed to be conflicted, as neither of these unique paths was to His liking.

One claimed to save the world but intended to replace Him by evolving the world from within.

The other was even worse, directly aimed at destroying everything.

If not for the rules, the Heavenly Dao would have likely reclaimed the fortune.

But now, He had no choice but to make a decision.

"Buzz!"

The immense fortune, after pausing for a moment, split again, directly entering the bodies of Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation.

This scene left everyone in shock.

"What's happening? Why is the fortune not merging into the Dao Lineages but into their bodies?"

"It's impossible! Could it be that the paths they practice are unique to them in the entire World?"

"Are they the embodiment of their paths? What kind of joke is this? What paths are they practicing?"

The World's cultivators and top powers all looked at the two on the Dao Platform with expressions of shock.

They couldn't understand, nor could they fathom the uniqueness of the paths Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation had taken.

To be the embodiment of their paths!

One-third of the World's fortune, and it was all being claimed by individuals!

They could hardly imagine how smooth the future would be for Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation with such fortune bestowed upon them.

Even if some calamities occur, with the backing of the Heavenly Dao, they will be turned into safety.

"Has the Heavenly Dao been outwitted?"

The others looked stunned, but Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation had peculiar expressions.

They were very clear that the 'path' they were on was absolutely not one the Heavenly Dao could tolerate.

However, there seemed to be some peculiar rules that, while making the Heavenly Dao furious, also forced it to assist them.

Entropy Annihilation was puzzled, but Su Changqing remained silent, as if he had guessed something.

Throughout his journey, the large hand behind him seemed to become clearer.

But the more he knew, the more Su Changqing felt a growing sense of dread.

To dare outwit even the Heavenly Dao.

Just how terrifying must the person behind him be?

...

The cultivators of the World were silent, still not recovered from the recent dispersion of fortune.

Suddenly, a special language echoed from the heavens above.

The language was extremely unique, as if passed down from ancient times.

No one on the Continent could understand it, but some of the Yuzhi Heavenly Pride in the Forbidden Zones looked stunned.

"Pan-Clan Language!"

"Is there still someone on the Cangyan Continent who knows this language?"

Amir, Wu Xiu, and others looked up, and their expressions changed the moment they did.

At the center of the sky where the overwhelming fortune had gathered, a massive vortex was quietly forming.

Deep within the vortex, a vast, ancient, and dilapidated stone path, stained with blood, slowly appeared.

At the end of the path, numerous strange beings could be seen.

Some had divine eyes glowing in the center of their foreheads, others had sharp horns jutting out from their foreheads.

Still others had multiple arms, standing like gods and demons.

"What is that? Why is there a path deep in the sky?"

"Yes, and those beings, they are so peculiar, why have we never seen them before?"

"Fenyuntaif has never produced such a situation before. What's going on?"

The cultivators of the World discussed among themselves, all looking bewildered.

Whether it was the vast stone path or the strange beings, they had never heard of such things.

But at that moment, some great powers or learned elders shouted excitedly,

"The Emperor's Path! It's the Emperor's Path!"

"The Emperor's Path is about to open! It's really about to open!"

Hearing this, the cultivators of the World were all filled with excitement and enthusiasm.

The Emperor's Path!

A legend only recorded in ancient texts, now right before their eyes!

They were witnessing history, and the indescribable excitement and joy made the entire Continent come alive.

However, only some great powers who knew the secrets of this place looked puzzled.

According to records, after Fenyuntaif, the Emperor's Path should take two to three years to open.

But now,

Fenyuntaif had not yet dissipated, and the Emperor's Path was already beginning to form!

At this rate, within three months, the Emperor's Path of the Continent and Yuzhi would be completely connected!

Even some ordinary strong ones noticed.

The Heavenly Dao seemed to be in a hurry.

And just as all the beings of the Continent were excited and enthusiastic, a faint voice suddenly echoed from beyond the sky.

"Just realized, these native Humans don't seem to understand Pan-Clan Language."

The excited shouts of the Continent's cultivators suddenly halted.

They looked toward the depths of the Emperor's Path.

There, a man resembling an Eight-Armed Demigod, with his arms crossed, was looking down at Su Changqing and Entropy Annihilation on the Dao Platform.

After sizing them up, he spoke faintly,

"Regarding the Fenyuntaif of the Human Race this time—"

"Are you two the only useless ones who made it to the top?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators of the Continent did not feel anger or shout in protest.

Instead,

their gazes toward the eight-armed being were somewhat strange.
