All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 1619 - 358: Shoulder to Shoulder with Heaven (3/6)

Chapter 1619: Chapter 358: Shoulder to Shoulder with Heaven (3/6)

"The so-called good ending..."

As he said this, Embracing the Void smiled, as if it were the gentle breeze of autumn, or the slowly flowing dusk in the twilight: "is when I wish ’I’ could exist, leaving proof that I have been here."

"But now, having met you, I understand that I shouldn’t be like this... I shouldn’t be alive, it’s enough for you all to remember me."

"Because becoming the Holy Demon, even if I can maintain my normal self for a period, I will eventually become the enemy of all living things, and at that time, I will be the force that hinders you, becoming a part of [the Fall]."

"The me who hopes for a good ending may become the barrier to a truly good ending."

"Indeed, the Heavenly Dao should not have ’me’—but my longing for goodness, my expectation for a complete ending, made me make the wrong choice at this point in time, becoming [the Fall]."

"Therefore."

He reached the conclusion: "I should not exist."

"Given this, then I should die. Resolutely, disappearing without leaving any path of retreat."

Embracing the Void did not hesitate at all, and at this moment, An Jing felt, facing the Holy Demon who was gradually reviving, the earth of all existence was trembling, and above the high heavens, a force, an unmatched, unimaginable force was rapidly manifesting.

In the Huai Xu Realm, the Ten Continents.

The Ten Directions Heaven and Sea trembled, and the gigantic vortex surrounding the Ten Directions was continuously descending, falling, about to transform into distinctly different Returning Ruins, all leading to the Abyss of Eternal. Countless Heavens Demons awaited within, and as soon as the Holy Demon in the Abyss of Eternal began to act, all possibilities and impossibilities throughout past and future, all rights and lefts of all ways of evolution, the Heavens Demons would heed the Holy Demon’s will, rush out of the abyss, and infect the entire world.

[The True Demon Tribulation, is it happening now?]

[How can it be this fast, none among us have even surpassed Lingxiao!]

[Never mind, then let us fight!]

Throughout the Huai Xu Realm, many sects of Heavenly Ancestor had already entered a state of readiness due to the disturbances in the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, and now, faced with this catastrophe, they quickly responded. Instantly, formations resembling a sky-spanning river or Taoist Soldier Array Maps rose, protecting regions, severing the connections with the Great Void of the Heavenly Sea, or piercing through those Returning Ruins vortices, sealing the link between the Abyss of Eternal and the real world.

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld, the Qingdu Taoist and the Supreme Elder of the Jingming Sect were fiercely slaying demons, but their expressions slightly changed. Their strength was formidable, as long as the Holy Demon did not fully awaken, they had nothing to fear from however many Heavens Demons came.

The real reason their expressions changed was their perception of the change in the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao trembled, leaving no quarter.

[How can this be?!]

At this moment, Qingdu Taoist reflexively looked towards Zhongheng Dao Continent, where the Shangxuan Sect Gate was located, exclaiming: [How can the Heavenly Dao suddenly exert full force... when, clearly, the Imperial Heaven is already this weakened?!]

[Clearly with the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony and Xuan Mingyu destroyed, the Imperial Heaven can reclaim lost authority, our Huai Xu is moving towards a better direction, how could this sudden turn happen?!]

It felt like a person dwelling in a house open to the wind from all directions, who had exhausted every means, good or bad, to act as the despised and ridiculed wallpaperer.

Even if they tried their best to fill in the leaks of the house, there were still too many things out of reach.

Yet luckily, while they hadn’t fully succeeded, there was a young successor, whether due to talent or Heavenly Mandate, whose fortune sealed the largest hole beneath the house, preventing sewage from seeping and cold wind from oozing out.

This should have been something worth celebrating, because once the largest leak was sealed, the house could be saved. But who could have imagined...

The house itself wants to uproot and rise?!

[Oh... Ancestors above]

Though the Supreme Elder also felt this anomaly, he did not pause. At this moment, he slew several more Heavens Demons, igniting the Xuanyuan Pure Light: [Emperor!]

This martial artist, long past his time, continued living due to the grace of the Heavenly Dao. Squinting and looking up at the infinite heavens, he couldn’t help but laugh: [You’ve finally made a choice—I thought I wouldn’t live to see this day, I thought I’d just die like this, unknown and ordinary, becoming a part of you]

[But now it’s too late, I’m old, but perhaps perfectly timed, I’m old. Yes, yes, I know I cannot reach the best ending, but I’m willing—I am willing to become the path!]

[Imperial Heaven—I have always been waiting, waiting for the day when I could stand with you, or rather... when you were finally willing to stand with me, side by side in battle!]

Laughing heartily, he lifted his hand, as if trying to touch something, but he touched nothing—yet corresponding to this, the aura of the martial artist surged continuously upwards, until...

It momentarily crossed a boundary.

[What?]

Beside him, the Qingdu Taoist, who was still in shock, perceived the same waves of shock and disbelief coming from alongside him. He turned his head: [Di Yuan, you...]

Even as the Heavenly Venerate, he could not finish his sentence.

Because, in that instant, Qingdu saw ’the branches’.

On the body of the Jingming Supreme Elder, Di Yuan Heavenly Venerate, surged a purple-blue flame, the purest and most magnificent Xuanyuan Flame.

This was enough to illuminate the night, burn away the gloom, and with itself as the candle, summon the light of day.

Subsequently, his form became illusory, the light shone forth infinite shadows, reflecting infinite possibilities. Among these endless tributaries, there was Di Yuan slaying demons with sword and saber, there was Di Yuan slaying demons with spear and axe, there was Di Yuan slaying demons with a horsetail whisk, with fists, with gaze, with magic, with formations, all conceivable and inconceivable means to slay demons, from past till present, from present into future, all possibilities gathered here. Their number was infinite, their differences infinite, the converging power, infinite as well.

There was only one absolute constant.

All the Di Yuans, regardless of age, gender, strength or weakness, regardless of good or bad temperament, kind or evil nature, even—the most frightening, the most incredible, whether Di Yuan was [human] or [demon]...

They were all...

[Slaying demons]

The Great Demon, devourer of other demons, killer of all Heavens Demons, in the name of destruction, demise, extinction, killer of all beings of Bei Yong Mozhou, and slayer of all Heavens Demons of Bei Yong Mozhou, the Exalted Great Heavenly Demon [Slaughter Industry], was also one of the possibilities of Di Yuan Great Celestial Venerable.

This was the inevitable downfall, because [Heaven] is also [Demon], thus if one harmonizes with the Heavenly Dao, they will inevitably fall into being a [Demon]... No one can escape, no one can truly harmonize with the Dao, if one does so, it not only bears no meaning, but would cause the already teetering logic of the Heavenly Dao to further descend into chaos, accelerating its collapse.

Yet, if there is one person, one soul, one heart, steadfast and unwavering, with single-minded determination to [Devour evil and remove demons]...

Then, even if it is in dance with demons, it can, for a moment, illuminate all dimness.
