All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 1494 - 268: Gate of Spirit (Unfinished)

At this moment, there was no sound, for all matter had been swept aside by a fierce force.

At the center where the halberd blade touched the sword finger, it was like the Holy Spirit was showing its might, as if a thousand suns were shining together.

And that figure was swallowed by the light in this instant.

Of course, he did not die.

He was just pondering a question.

All life is a question.

Since the dawn of the oldest life, questions appeared along with its birth, even during the time when ’I’ ceased to exist, even in the years before the existence of ’intelligence’, questions without name, meaning, origin or essence have been pursuing humanity, searching for ’what is the answer’.

In response, life offered its initial answer.

[Existence] and [Continuation].

Through life, action, instinct, the years, repeated cycles of death and rebirth, countless evolutions and reincarnations, they inscribed traces in space-time, writing their answer.

Subsequently, more answers emerged, branching out infinitely based on existence and continuation.

Within this infinity, life created more life, seeds transformed into more blooms, endless dreams were refined generation after generation, also numerous divergent even contradictory dreams fractured and emerged.

Each answer signifies an infinite possibility.

But is there a possibility where the answer itself obliterates more of the infinite from outside the infinite?

Because by choosing to answer, one treaded upon a broad path, thus the path overgrown with weeds, that vast expanse, that endless wilderness, was overlooked.

Of course.

Of course some would say, those paths are infinitely long and also infinitely wide, not restricting an individual’s achievement but allowing anyone’s accomplishment, applying no limitations except for the heart, leaving anytime if desired.

Hence the path itself equals wilderness, every path is equivalent to all wilderness.

However...

Choosing itself ultimately is a constraint.

Thus, when heaven and earth change incessantly through time, as creatures pass through the flow, there will always be, always fish contemplating.

"Why must I swim along the river?"

"Whether success or failure, death or suffering, whether brief or long-lasting, whether void or bewildering, I only wish to..."

"Embark upon ’my’ path."

Years without ripple, youth without trace.

There will be, and always will be. There will always be fish choosing to leave that rushing river of meaning, carrying with them endless life forward, dragging their wet scales, coming upon the land of existence.

He removes scales.

He refuses.

Refuses to answer any questions.

He manifests his will as the sole expression...

Allowing all questions imposed upon life to fall away.

"Meaningless."

In the endless light, that figure, the fish refusing to answer, the creature named An Jing grasped the halberd blade of the Earth Vein Spear.

He gazed at the constantly exploding, scattering, turning into pure streams of light rushing toward him, the power of heaven, sea, and earth veins, calmly saying, "Your way of utilizing the power of the Divine Capital Array is too shallow, akin to possessing an entire treasure house yet merely using gold and silver to batter others."

He sighed, releasing his grip, allowing the high entropy flood of light, enough to disperse all molecules, reduce all things to elemental particles, to wash over his form, meanwhile, the disintegration of the Heavenly Sea Giant Gods set off a massive firework at the center of Shenjing and even the Divine Capital Domain, North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, countless scattered streams of light stirred the sky, forming a falling meteor shower.

"Without the Heavenly Official System, with your talents, I’m afraid even the Divine Repository would struggle."

Yet, amidst the terrifying energy torrent, An Jing remained unscathed, the dense, even the most stable molecular bonds, even the electrons around atoms would be scattered by the Heavenly Sea wind, which instead passed through the void as it penetrated his ’body’, or even, was devoured by his ’body’!

The Dharma Body that truly does not exist ’here’, operated the Five Emperor Technique, transforming himself into a ’gateway’.

This ’gateway’ tamed, absorbed, and integrated the violent force into his Inner Cave Heaven, while dispersing, shifting, relocating the energy that was too violent and required more power to absorb.

In an instant, within the flood of light, stars shone brighter than Bright Light!

"But I am different."

Spreading his arms, using the Path of Nature to observe the myriad things, the Way of Laws to control energy flows, the Path of Destiny to sustain everything, An Jing freely absorbed this near-infinite power, laughing as he stepped forward: "If given enough power, I can step from the Divine Repository..."

"To Lingxiao!"

Boom!

Under the astonished gaze of the Four Great Families’ family heads, An Jing took a step, and the already turbulent Shenjing immediately erupted into even more intense vibrations.

The entire western half of Shenjing sank hundreds of feet in this instant, then the surface shattered, various buildings, palaces, pagodas, towers, many Forbidden Army soldiers, were all shattered, then alongside all structures turned to mist and dust.

If it were other places of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, a super earthquake above level fifteen would occur, and the fierce force would completely raze an entire earth, a continent, mountains that once appeared towering would be blown away like flour by a child in one breath, floating in the infinitely high sky of Embracing the Void.

But here in Shenjing, layer upon layer, pre-recorded at the bottom of space-time, talismans automatically activated when encountering such Heavenly Monarch Level strikes, preventing the destruction of everything, dispersing just a thousand miles before dimming and stopping.

Yet, when all smoke and dust settled, whether the Forbidden Army’s Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, or the patriarchs of the Four Great Families, even the many civil and military officials still silent and waiting due to various reasons, all widened their eyes.

For that figure, that finally revealed his appearance.

An Jing.

He, still standing at the position he previously occupied amidst the impact sufficient to shatter the world, even took a few steps forward.

But that was not the most shocking—the mighty who dared to challenge Shenjing, if they lacked this level, would indeed be a joke.

What truly astonished everyone was what he held high in his hand.

It was a square, entirely azure-blue, semi-transparent material, within shining an immensely brilliant, like supreme stars...

A massive... colossal, like mountain-sized, twenty miles long, twenty miles wide, twenty miles high...

Spirit Stone!

"Gentle yet enduring, using without diligence... this is my Spirit Path. Reaching here marks an end, yet also a new beginning."

Holding the Spirit Stone mountain, An Jing continued to step forward: "According to Embracing the Void, I should call it the ’Gate of All Wonders’, or the ’Heaven and Earth Root’."

"But I prefer using my accustomed method, calling it..."

"Second Type Spiritual Power Perpetual Motion Machine."
