Fear Beyond Words

He spoke with certainty, "Today’s outcome will be no different. You are destined to fail!"

Before his words had even faded, Taiqing swung the Sword of the Gods with all his strength, intending to kill his opponents in one blow.

However, Hongjun and Yang Mei had clearly come prepared.

As Ninth Heaven Heavenly Dao Realm experts, they were only slightly weaker than Taiqing.

If it had been a one-on-one battle, Taiqing’s advantage would have been obvious. But now, he faced the combined forces of two opponents.

Under such circumstances, Taiqing’s Sword of the Gods unexpectedly failed to achieve anything.

"It seems your strength truly cannot be underestimated. As expected of those fighting in their true bodies. Your progress over the years is impressive. Reaching such a realm in so short a time is no easy feat. The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable truly is willing to invest resources. That old fellow’s foundation is indeed profound."

Taiqing launched another attack, but Hongjun and Yang Mei joined forces to neutralize it once more.

Even someone as capable as Taiqing could not help but furrow his brow slightly.

With the two working together, he found it difficult to gain the upper hand in a short time. He even risked suffering defeat.

What was even more surprising was that Hongjun and Yang Mei’s coordination had reached a level where one plus one was greater than two.

This meant Taiqing would have difficulty winning quickly.

Clearly, this was not a situation Taiqing wished to see. After all, his opponents numbered five, while he stood alone.

If they attacked with everything they had, Taiqing might be defeated.

Fortunately, Taiqing still had many trump cards.

"You actually managed to block my Sword of the Gods? Not bad. I acknowledge your strength."

"However, the Sword of the Gods is merely an ordinary divine ability. Take my Annihilation of All Heavens!"

Taiqing’s Annihilation of All Heavens was his strongest attack, created by fusing the four supreme techniques: Gods’ Fist Technique, Palm of All Gods, Sword of the Gods, and Gods’ Finger.

Under the terrified gazes of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors, Taiqing condensed an enormous fireball in his hand.

Within the fireball appeared the rise and fall of countless worlds, the end of all things, the nirvana of the universe, and the return of worlds to nothingness.

The fireball in Taiqing’s hand gradually transformed into a blazing sun before he hurled it forth.

Everything in its path was destroyed.

Nothing could continue to exist wherever it passed.

Though it appeared to be only a small fireball, it actually contained endless destructive power. The new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors saw death and fate within it.

Even Hongjun frowned and shouted, "Taiqing’s move is far too terrifying! We must resist it together! Send me your power and let me handle this!"

Before his words had faded, several palms pressed against his back, and his strength instantly surged.

Then, with everyone’s help, Yang Mei erupted with boundless power.

Under his control, enormous spatial vortices formed wherever the fireball passed.

As the ancestor of space, Yang Mei’s control over space was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart.

Because of this, everyone placed great confidence in him, believing that he could lead them out of their predicament.

The facts proved that the great spatial vortex Yang Mei unleashed truly dragged everyone into endless time and space, temporarily freeing them from the fate of death.

"As expected of the ancestor of space! Such an ability is astonishing."

"If I had no follow-up moves, I truly might not be your match this time."

"Unfortunately, I have more trump cards than you can imagine! Myriad Heavens Limit Method! Gods’ Fist Technique!"

After realizing that his Annihilation of All Heavens could not do anything to Hongjun and the others, even a powerhouse like Taiqing could not help but feel shocked.

Under such circumstances, he had no choice but to reveal another trump card—827!

The Myriad Heavens Limit Method was unleashed once more!

As this secret art activated, Taiqing’s strength rapidly soared, and he threw a punch!

Its power even surpassed the previous Annihilation of All Heavens!

Moreover, even if he threw hundreds of punches in succession, there would be no problem at all!

This was clearly the advantage of an overall increase in strength!

Compared to merely enhancing the power of divine abilities, this all-around boost vastly increased Taiqing’s strength.

Even an ordinary God-Slaying Fist possessed the power to destroy all heavens in Taiqing’s hands!

Thus, when Taiqing began punching, even a powerhouse like Yang Mei could only keep creating spatial vortices to defend himself.

Seeing this, the corners of Taiqing’s lips lifted slightly, and his punching speed suddenly increased severalfold!

At this moment, Yang Mei’s speed in creating spatial vortices had already fallen far behind.

Hongjun and the others fell into despair once more.

Among the Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors, Yang Mei had the closest relationship with the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable.

When faced with danger, he decisively swallowed a wisp of Power of the Great Dao bestowed upon him by the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable, displaying extraordinary adaptability.

No one could compare to Yang Mei when it came to the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s trust, because he had been a core figure involved in the plan from the very beginning, rather than a temporary member who joined later.

Therefore, before descending, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable had deliberately bestowed upon him a life-saving strand of Power of the Great Dao in preparation for emergencies.

Now, at the critical moment between life and death, Yang Mei resolutely activated that power.

With the Power of the Great Dao and the support of Heavenly Dao Realm experts like Hongjun, he erupted with astonishing strength.

A massive spatial vortex abruptly took shape. Taiqing’s attacks were like strikes against empty space and had no effect at all.

Even after using the Myriad Heavens Limit Method, he could not shake Yang Mei and the others’ defenses.

"The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable truly is generous! But do you think this means you can rest easy? You are gravely mistaken!"

Before his words had faded, Taiqing used Annihilation of All Heavens with the support of the Myriad Heavens Limit Method.

At once, the fireball in his hand became infinitely powerful and unstoppable.

Taiqing sneered and hurled the fireball out. Everything in its path was destroyed, and even the spatial vortex could not stop it.

The gigantic spatial vortex was shattered directly.

The fireball struck Yang Mei viciously!

Although Yang Mei had already used every defensive method at his disposal, those defenses were utterly useless before the fireball.

After being hit, Yang Mei felt his heart tremble. His fear was beyond words.

He seemed to want to speak, but it was already too late. The destructive power within the fireball erupted in an instant!

Hongjun and the others were clearly caught up in it as well.

Although they fled extremely quickly, the destructive power covered an exceptionally wide area.

Even with their many defensive methods, they were powerless before this destructive force.

In an instant, the Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors were all annihilated.

With Hongjun and the others dead, Taiqing no longer had any reservations. This world now belonged to him.

With thoughts of controlling the world in his heart, Taiqing sat down to regulate his breathing, striving to recover as quickly as possible.

After all, the Myriad Heavens Limit Method had caused him considerable harm, especially since he had used it earlier to unleash the ultimate move, Annihilation of All Heavens.

Under such circumstances, he needed at least three days to recover.

Now that his weakened period had arrived, Taiqing could only cultivate quietly.

Once his body recovered, the entire world would be under his control.

Filled with anticipation for the future, Taiqing slowly closed his eyes, only to suddenly sense something strange.

The surroundings were abnormally quiet—so quiet that it was eerie.

No, this was not quietness. It was deathly silence!

Taiqing realized that there was no longer any living aura around him. Even the tiniest insects had vanished without a trace.

Although the earlier battle had affected a considerable area, it had been limited to a specific region and had not spread everywhere.

Some corners still retained their original appearance.

Yet even in those unaffected places, there was no movement nearby. Even the sound of insects had disappeared.

This was clearly abnormal. Taiqing opened his eyes again, frowned as he looked around, and sensed that the atmosphere was strange.

Just as he was pondering this, a Shadow suddenly passed through his body.

"Outsiders must all die!" Shadow growled.

Taiqing saw Shadow’s appearance clearly and simultaneously sensed the extraordinary aura emanating from him.

Looking at his shattered body and Shadow’s ferocious form, Taiqing sighed softly. "I thought that after getting rid of Hongjun and the others, I could control this world."

"I never expected to be so naive. This world’s secrets run far deeper than I imagined. There is actually a powerhouse like you here. I was far too careless."

Before his words had faded, Taiqing’s body instantly collapsed, and his incarnation perished.

Because he had been killed this time, Taiqing’s true body received only part of his memories. Most of them were completely lost along with the destruction of his incarnation.

"I never expected that world to be so bizarre that it could erase my incarnation. It truly cannot be underestimated."

"However, I left the mark of the Primordial World in that realm long ago. It will not be difficult to find that place again."

The death of Taiqing’s first incarnation greatly enraged his true body.

Yet no matter how furious he was, there was nothing he could do. After all, no one knew what had truly happened back then.

Although he possessed some information, most of it concerned only the customs and habits of that world.

As for why his incarnation had been killed, his true body remained completely in the dark.

Fortunately, creating another incarnation was not difficult for his true body. It required only a little over a hundred level-six Primordial Chaos Crystals and one-tenth of his own spiritual power.

If not for that, he might have needed to dispatch his true body personally this time to investigate the matter.

Although a little over a hundred Primordial Chaos Crystals were not a major loss to Taiqing,

and replenishing his spiritual power was effortless for him, a loss was still a loss. It was only natural for him to be annoyed.

At the same time, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable was equally anxious, because all the soul lamps of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors had gone out.

This meant that all of their true bodies had perished.

Under such circumstances, even a powerhouse like the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable could not help but lose control of his emotions.

Fortunately, the soul lamps carried a trace of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors’ divine souls. Thus, although they had died,

they had not completely ceased to exist in a certain sense.

After expending a vast amount of resources, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable ultimately revived them.

After all, the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors were different from the previous Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors.

The previous five ancestors had died completely, beyond anyone’s ability to save. The current new ancestors, however, had clearly not fallen completely.

Although only a trace of their remnant souls remained, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s abilities and the treasures he had accumulated over countless years were no mere decoration.

Using those treasures, he successfully revived all of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors.

"What exactly happened? Why were you unable to descend in your true bodies? Could it be that world truly possesses a Great Dao Level powerhouse?"

The Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable looked grave, his brows tightly furrowed as he asked this string of questions.

He desperately wanted to know what had caused all of the new Five Primordial Chaos Ancestors to perish.

Upon hearing the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable’s question, Hongjun immediately replied, "It was Taiqing’s incarnation! His strength was extremely powerful. Even when we joined forces, we were no match for him."

After hearing this, the Primordial Chaos Dao Venerable immediately understood what had happened.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Taiqing has advanced at an astonishing rate! A mere incarnation possesses such strength."

"Forget it. Put the plan for this world aside for now."
