All Heavenly destiny reduced to ashes-Chapter 1496 - 269: Countdown

A form of defense, a form of attack... a form of control over heaven and earth.

Subtle yet tangible, used sparingly.

The true essence of the Spirit Path has been realized in An Jing’s hands.

It seems like only a tenth, but this power was directly seized by An Jing from the enemy.

Moreover, with An Jing’s skills, a tenth is entirely sufficient.

"This is the prototype of the ’Ring,’ and it is one of the infinite prototypes of the Ring."

And as An Jing gazed at the Spirit Stone in his hand, he sighed deeply: "I somewhat understand now that if it were the Serpent of Dao, it could indeed use its power of Harmonization to cast all low-entropy flows back to the creation of the world and all high-entropy flows to its end, thus achieving the ’process’ of the world’s eternal continuation, and thus achieving the ’infinite ring’."

"This is another utilization of the time flow, allowing the world to perpetuate itself and making existence unending—truly, the Four Great Immortal Professions are indeed the foundation of the Ten-layered Saint Realm. Mastering each leads directly to the essence of Lingxiao, involving many Dharma Gates regarding the Harmonization Realm."

As he spoke this, An Jing turned his head to look at the many officials and aristocrats of the Divine Capital as if facing a great enemy: "To learn, understand, and master such artistry, stepping towards infinity from the limited self, is such a delight, far surpassing those dull carnal desires, those mundane worldly urges."

"However."

Closing his eyes and opening them again, the Martial Artist’s gaze blazed like a fierce flame, turning towards the four family heads whose combined attack had been broken and whose qi was in disarray: "Have you tried to understand?"

"What is... this thing?"

At this moment, a very ominous feeling emerged in Song Shian’s heart.

Although he possessed the power of the Pure Yang Heavenly Lord and held the ’Heavenly Talisman’ within the Heavenly Official System, he had never truly delved into cultivation.

Not only because he lacked talent, was lazy, or unwilling, but also because... the Imperial Court does not allow it.

The Four Great Families only need to forever enjoy wealth and glory.

Generational Heavenly Lords are a privilege only available to many Upper Gates in the world—since the Great Chen Saint Ancestor Xuantian Sacrifice conferred titles to the Four Great Families, no family has been able to produce a power comparable to the ancestors.

The path to Lingxiao is completely severed to them, and for this reason, knowing there is no path forward, the family scions choose indulgence, succumbing to desires.

Still, even if Song Shian doesn’t understand, he instinctively senses danger, recognizing the essence of An Jing’s move has reached a level that could easily threaten his life.

"What’s going on!"

In soul and spirit communication, he urgently inquired with other colleagues: "Didn’t An Jing only break through to the Divine Repository at the Feast of Zhaolin? When did he gain such powerful strength?!"

"Who knows!"

Guang Daoquan said with gritted teeth: "His strength can’t be easily compared with the Manifesting Holy or Pure Yang... Although he indeed manipulated part of the Divine Capital Array, likely granted by Commandery Princess Mingjing’s Emperor’s Blood, he shouldn’t exert such formidable power without the ’Talisman’ to activate it!"

"Unless... he has everything, just lacking accumulation, lacking Spiritual Fiend!"

At this moment, An Jing, in their eyes, truly possessed the traits of the Ling Xiao Heavenly Venerate.

Taiyin Wuji is the core of cultivation above the Saint Manifestation Golden Core, its essence a power borrowed from the present to the future.

A Martial Artist’s great achievement, doing great deeds, can link cause and effect to an infinite future, producing more variables or energy for use.

Thus, one can bypass heaven and earth, converging one’s own unique ’Power.’

With this unique ’Power of Taiyin’s Achievements,’ a Manifesting Holy can condense his own Divine Intention into Heaven and Earth True Intent, turning Heaven and Earth Water into ice.

Similarly, with this unique Power of Achievement, Pure Yang can also condense a unique Pure Yang Dao Image, reflecting all heavens, presenting ’Self Dao.’

But An Jing is Heavenly Mandate, naturally united with heaven and earth, and his Dao Image was forged long ago, as the Emperor Tianxing.

He need not endure those lengthy accumulations and insights, provided he has sufficient Power to fill it, he can surpass these realms and possess true power.

Indeed, An Jing did not lie.

He truly can step from Divine Repository, to Manifesting Holy... to Lingxiao in one go!

And now, the necessary Power has arrived.

It was even delivered by their own hands!

Realizing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

At this moment, An Jing lifted the Spirit Stone into the air, where its brilliance grew increasingly bright.

The huge blue-green octahedral Spirit Stone suddenly began to flow, silently unfolding, with edges and planes shifting like flowing water. In an instant, it transformed into a strange starlike dodecahedron, then blossomed into a flower, a massive Sword Lotus.

This was not the end, it continued to change violently. Under immense power, the solid Spirit Stone flowed like liquid, with terrifying Spiritual Fiend gathering at its center, growing ever more radiant.

Buzzz—beams of blazing white light radiated from the core of the Sword Lotus, like tendrils, dissolving solid rock, vaporizing pavilions, sweeping across the ground, streets, and city, leaving fiery crimson molten traces.

An Jing’s calm voice echoed throughout the Divine Capital.

"Ten breaths."

He said, not loudly, but his voice reached every person in the Divine Capital: "I give every life in the Divine Capital ten breaths to contemplate."
