The "Yin Runes Scripture" states: "When Heaven emits killing intent, it moves stars and alters constellations; when Earth emits killing intent, dragons and serpents emerge onto land; when man emits killing intent, Heaven and Earth overturn; when Heaven and man unite in emitting killing intent, all transformations establish their foundations."

The evil Heavenly Evil originates from Heaven, embodying Heaven's killing intent. The sword user's killing intent pierces the heart, willing to exhaust all life essence to slay Qing Yu. This can be considered as man's killing intent.

When Heaven and man unite in emitting killing intent, all transformations establish their foundations.

Heaven and man together emit killing intent, setting the tone for all things and changes.

The Dao Ancestor observed this sword created in the Slaughter Life Sword Path, its principle lies in this unity of Heaven and man emitting killing intent.

At this moment, it was the time to execute this move.

"Qing Yu, die!"

A crimson sword light cut a bloody path across the Heavenly Vault, the sword user burning essence blood, burning life, just for this fleeting moment of attack.

Very strong, able to threaten a Supreme strong from the Divinity Realm, worthy of being called strong.

The Demon Lord assaults directly from the front, while the rear strikes this killing sword, even a Supreme strong would struggle to fend off such a pincer attack, facing peril of serious injury.

But······

Even among Supreme strong, there are levels. For someone like the Demon Lord, indeed, might suffer heavy injuries from such encirclement, but for a peak Supreme like Qing Yu, harming him is another matter entirely.

"Reverse Demon Origin."

The killing sword and demonic Qi seemed to pass through, bursting from in front and behind Qing Yu. The Primordial Demon Splitting Sky technique targeted the sword user attacking from the back, while the killing sword targeted the Demon Lord attacking from the front.

A deep demonic Qi suffused these two moves, doubling their might.

"Boom boom——"

Waves of Qi erupted front and back, Qing Yu stood in the air, palms silently channeling True Yuan, "Crack the Universe——"

"Roar——"

The nine dragons suddenly surged, entwined towards Qing Yu, their magnificent Dragon Qi dominant and fierce, dispelling Primordial Qi, launching a violent assault.

"Indigo Sea."

At the critical moment, Qing Yu changed moves, the surging Qi force stirred ripples in space, ripples of waves collided with the nine dragons, echoing the sorrowful cries of divine dragons as Dragon Qi scattered everywhere.

With Qing Yu's familiarity with Dragon Vein Power, trying to injure him with this Nine Dragon Sky Array is pure folly.

Yet at this moment, a pair of silver eyes opened in the air, the silver threads attached to the nine dragons twined around the eyes forming a silver humanoid figure.

Once formed, the silver-eyed figure pointed a finger, "All Transformations Foundation."

This wasn't merely the "All Transformations Foundation" used by the earlier assailant of the Divine Communication Realm but performed by the Dao Ancestor's avatar.

Using finger as sword, with killing intent embedded, the finger force pierced the sound of space, pierced through two layers of Protective True Qi, leaving a round hole on Qing Yu's shoulder.

"Boom——"

Yangxin Hall lost the support of Dragon Vein Power, collapsing into dust like a sandcastle, two figures burst out, both bleeding from the corners of their mouths, injured.

The previous strike by the Dao Ancestor was concentrated with all power, which left even his main body and other avatars powerless to stop Emperor Zhou and Ren Piaomiao, allowing them to escape.

Once out of the space deprived of Dragon Vein and Primordial Qi, their aura rose vigoriously, consuming Dragon Vein Power and Primordial Qi, restoring their battle strength.

The injuries on their bodies rapidly healed, recovering seventy to eighty percent in a few breaths.

However, the injury on Qing Yu's main body did not heal, as that finger force filled with killing intent lingered like a bone-attached parasite on his shoulder, refusing to retreat.

"In the end, it still wounded your main body, Qing Yu."

The Dao Ancestor's three avatars transformed into three lotus blossoms, revolving around the main body continuously.

"Was all this calculation just for this one strike?" Qing Yu silently operated Reverse Demon Origin, intending to refine this finger force.

The strike against Qing Yu was not launched by the Demon Lord nor the assailant, but by the Dao Ancestor himself.

The finger force targeted at Qing Yu's cultivation body unexpectedly struck, injuring Qing Yu's shoulder, affecting his cultivation body, causing a loss of strength.

"For exceptional Taoist juniors, I cannot hide behind age, they deserve my utmost attention." The Dao Ancestor replied with a smile.

"So, he became a sacrificial pawn?" Qing Yu glanced at the distant figure in the square.

There is no denying the marvelousness of the method taught by the Dao Ancestor, alowing him to withstand Qing Yu's transfer of strike from the Demon Lord even after burning all longevity and essence blood.

The assailant was still alive, though a mere flickering candle in the wind, yet he truly was still alive.

In that strike, the assailant's black robes torn to shreds, revealing an extremely old, yet familiarly visage.

That face, Qing Yu had seen before. Or rather, the person he had met was eighty percent similar to him.

"Zhang Yuanchu, son of Heavenly Master Zhang," Qing Yu said indifferently, "I didn't expect you would actually leave Dragon Tiger Mountain."

The old face was eighty percent similar to Heavenly Master Zhang. Thinking that this person had burned his lifespan, his actual years should be much younger, and Qing Yu immediately guessed his identity based on impression.

Zhang Yuanchu, son of Heavenly Master Zhang, once utterly defeated by Qing Yu on Dragon Tiger Mountain as the Young Heavenly Master. His father, uncle, and son all died because of Qing Yu, and Dragon Tiger Mountain was sealed because of Qing Yu. This person indeed had an irreconcilable hatred for Qing Yu, which explained the deep-seated enmity.

Unexpectedly, this person had left Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Heavenly Master Zhang had imposed the soldier resolution Taoist transformation, with his body encompassing the Secret Realm, isolating inside and outside. In theory, for a specific period, outsiders couldn't enter, nor could insiders leave.

Although Dragon Tiger Mountain's people received preferential treatment and the difficulty of leaving was lower, unless a Supreme warrior emerged, it was absolutely impossible to leap over the Secret Realm's barriers and reach the outside world.

"You must have left your contingency here," Qing Yu remarked, looking at the Dao Ancestor, "I should've thought of it earlier, since you left a contingency in the Zhenwu Jade, Zhang Daoling being closer to you should have left one as well."

Because of the Dao Ancestor's contingency left at Dragon Tiger Mountain, Zhang Yuanchu could leave the Secret Realm and come outside. Similarly, it should also be because of this contingency that the Dao Ancestor restored to the Strongest Realm, suppressing the Emperor Zhou and Ren Piaomiao's two avatars.

"Zhang Yuanchu, this junior, indeed is a talent. Precisely because of him, I can calmly orchestrate, drawing you out. What a pity, were it not for his obsession with vengeance, willing to sacrifice his life without hesitation, I could have guided him, giving him a sliver of hope to break through to Supreme."

As he spoke, strands of silver once again attached to the Nine Dragon Sky Array above, prohibiting Primordial Energy, and Xuan Yuan One Qi filled the void, carrying the momentum of Heaven and Earth, pressing forward.

"If there was the slightest fluctuation in your words, and the array setup was more discreet, I might have actually believed you regretted Zhang Yuanchu." Qing Yu scoffed.

What does the junior matter to the Dao Ancestor? Frankly speaking, even if Zhang Yuanchu perished now, the Dao Ancestor wouldn't bat an eyelid.

From the moment Dao Ancestor imparted Zhang Yuanchu the method to burn lifespan, his fate as a sacrificial pawn was already sealed.

If he could trouble Qing Yu, the Dao Ancestor would find joy; if he died, Dao Ancestor's heart remained unmoved. It was cruel and cold, but this was the Dao Ancestor's nature, also the mentality of those who achieved immortality.

Lying on the plaza, Zhang Yuanchu seemed to hear their conversation, his ten fingers clawing the ground fiercely, forcibly propping up his upper body, like a candle flickering before going out, he shouted loudly: "Qing Yu, die!"

The shout contained a deep hatred akin to a torrent of killing intent, incessant. After the shout, Zhang Yuanchu's final flicker of Life Fire also completely extinguished, losing the last trace of vitality.

Yet his upper body remained upright, eyes wide open, glaring at Qing Yu, seemingly wishing to witness Qing Yu's defeat.

"Hatred is like fine wine, the longer it ages, the deeper its flavor." Qing Yu remarked meaningfully.

"You will taste the flavor of hatred." Dao Ancestor said.

"No need, the enemies' hatred is the most flavorful. Your failure is my source of joy."

Ren Piaomiao suddenly flew up, merging into Qing Yu's body, the piercing finger hole on his shoulder disappeared completely as if it had never existed.

The Dao Ancestor targeted Qing Yu's All Transformations Foundation, indeed extraordinary, Qing Yu practiced the Reverse Demon Origin, still semi-completed, unable to deal with this injury for now.

However, Qing Yu wasn't without a way to handle this wound.

Merging with another Saint and Demon Embryo was the best countermeasure.

Simultaneously, Emperor Zhou merged into the underground, dropping into the underground palace beneath the Imperial City to hold the Dragon Vein, guarding the Imperial City.

A soul returned to his body, Three Souls gathered, Qing Yu restored to his strongest state.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was still prohibited, but······

it posed no hindrance to battle power.

"Come!" Qing Yu raised his hand to challenge, as vortexes like a dark abyss, like the distant cosmic void, formed behind him.

Even without absorbing Primordial Energy, Qing Yu wasn't lacking in prolonged combat ability, at worst, just without using those Primordial Energy big moves.

"Amazing method, it could make the injury vanish."

Dao Ancestor waved his hand gently, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, Xuan Yuan One Qi extended beyond the array, absorbing infinite Primordial Energy, surrounding sometimes like being in a deep sea, with boundless pressure from all sides, sometimes like falling into a void, emptiness everywhere, with no foothold.

This is the most annoying aspect of the "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture", you can't use Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, only I can. If facing other martial artists not adept in this path, Dao Ancestor wouldn't even need an array, directly depriving the opponent's Primordial Energy usage rights.

Furthermore, if facing weaklings, Xuan Yuan One Qi could even transform the opponent's True Qi.

Perhaps from the moment True Qi Martial Way came into existence, Dao Ancestor had the idea of creating "Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture". He was both the promoter and master of True Qi Martial Way, spreading it throughout the world because of him, and its greatest nemesis, for he restrained all Primordial Energy and True Qi.

"Primordial Qi Dao Truth, the supreme righteous way."

The Xuan Yuan Qi filling the universe, ubiquitous, came from all directions. In this world, all energies were for Dao Ancestor's use, becoming weapons to attack Qing Yu.

However, once these Qi Mechanisms neared Qing Yu, they were like mud bulls entering the sea, swallowed by Qing Yu, and even Xuan Yuan Qi was no exception.

Qing Yu was arguably the person outside the Supreme Taoist Sect who understood Xuan Yuan Qi the best. He used Mystic Universe and Reverse Demon Origin to swallow Xuan Yuan Qi, snatching food from the Dao Ancestor's mouth.

"The Great Dao's profound essence arises from nature, the root of Heaven and Earth is Supreme."

Qi mechanisms evolve, Heaven and Earth regenerate, Xuan Yuan Qi transforms into the profoundness of the Great Dao, the truly powerful attack, arrives.
