The Immortal Seeker: Legend of Bronze Mirror-Chapter 878 - 407: Creation

Xu Qing's figure appeared in the indescribable core of the void.

Here, there is no direction, no clear perception of the passage of time, only an absolute "nothingness."

However, at the center of this "nothingness," an artifact—the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel—quietly floated.

It was not a gigantic wheel; its design was ancient and mysterious, existing between reality and illusion.

The body of the wheel seemed to be condensed from the purest Origin Power of the Great Dao of "life" and "death," exuding a chaotic hue that flowed endlessly.

Engraved on the wheel were countless, extremely complex Innate Dao Patterns, each pattern appearing as a trajectory from the birth to the silence of a world, a reflection of the reincarnation of billions of beings. At the axle was an extreme depth of void, as if connecting the source and endpoint of all existence and non-existence.

Merely gazing upon it, Xu Qing's newly formed, Immortal Chaos Birth and Death Dao Fruit produced a slight resonance and tremor.

He could clearly feel that the authority over life and death he inherited from the Life and Death Dao Embryo of the Fengdu Emperor Palace originated from this wheel. Only by completely refining and controlling this wheel could he truly govern all life and death reincarnation in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, pushing his Chaos Birth and Death Dao Fruit to an unprecedented state of perfection, perhaps even touching the legendary threshold of "Primordial Infinite."

"This is the supreme treasure created in the Taiyi Era by the Green Emperor, complementing the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with brilliance, the life and death reincarnation in his deep pupils seemed to merge with this wheel. He stepped forward, crossing a void that appeared mere inches away yet contained boundless distances of space and time, arriving directly at the core of the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel.

Without hesitation, with a thought, the Chaos Dao Fruit within him, self-contained as a universe and revolving in life and death, roared into motion! His vast, magnificent Dao Thought and Origin Power, far surpassing ordinary Immortal giants, surged forth like an overwhelming flood of Creation, carrying a supreme will that encompassed all, seeking to seize control of life and death, fiercely impacting the core imprint of the All Heavens Life and Death Wheel.

What he aimed to do was not merely to communicate or borrow but to completely erase the Great Dao imprint left by the Green Emperor and imprint it with his own mark.

However—

Just as his power touched the void at the core of the wheel.

Buzz!

An indescribable will, beyond the current limits of Xu Qing's comprehension, suddenly awoke from the depths of the wheel's core!

This will was ancient, vast, boundless! It was not domineering and fierce but carried an absolute "perfection" and "supreme" quality that overlooked countless eras, transcending all life and death!

As if… it was "life" and "death" itself, the ultimate Law of reincarnation operation, the manifestation of the Great Dao's origin!

Green Emperor imprint!

This imprint was not the true body of the Green Emperor, possibly just a Dao Rhyme trace naturally left after attaining Primordial Infinite and complementing reincarnation. Yet, even a mere trace of it possessed an essence so high, its contained Great Dao meaning so profound, that it was already above Xu Qing's Immortal Dao Fruit.

The terrifying Dao Thought torrent of Xu Qing, capable of shaking the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and making the Shenxiao Daoist Monarch projection bow, struck upon this void imprint, only to vanish instantly like a clay ox entering the sea, dissipating without a trace.

There was no earth-shattering collision, no dissipation of energy, as if his all-out strike was merely a drop of water into a truly boundless ocean, unable even to create ripples!

Even more terrifying, the imprint emitted a natural aura once touched.

Boom!

Xu Qing felt as though he were struck by countless ancient stars! His entire Chaos Birth and Death Dao Fruit trembled violently, and the newly restored, jade-like surface of his Daoist Body was instantly covered in fine cracks, as if a delicate porcelain was about to shatter. A rejection and crushing force originating from the Dao's origin acted directly on his Dao Foundation.

In the face of this power, the "Immortal" trait he prided himself on appeared fragile for the first time.

The self-contained universe, the life and death reincarnating Dao Fruit, as if confronting a higher-dimensional existence, had its internal balance forcefully disturbed and distorted by this supreme reincarnation will. A sense of death proliferated madly, attempting to freeze the operation of his Dao Fruit; the life energy was mercilessly extracted, as if to revert him to his original form!

Puh!

Xu Qing spat a mouthful of Origin Dao Blood, which transformed into the purest Dao Rhyme of life and death upon leaving his body. His complexion instantly turned ashen as golden paper, and his aura visibly declined, eyes filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

"Primordial Infinite… This is… the level of Primordial Infinite?!" A massive wave surged in his heart. He finally understood, between Immortal and Primordial Infinite, what seemed just a step away was actually separated by an insurmountable chasm.

This imprint left by the Green Emperor represented an absolute perfection and control on the level of the Great Dao, truly transcending "artifact" to achieve the supreme realm of "Dao is artifact, and artifact is Dao." It was not a deliberate defense or counterattack; its mere "essence" was enough to render any "external force" below its level futile, even causing backlash.

No matter how strong Xu Qing's Dao Fruit or how profound his foundation, he was ultimately still within the domain of "Immortal." His power, his Dao Thoughts, his will, in the face of this imprint containing the true meaning of Primordial Infinite, were fundamentally on a different level. Like a mortal trying to shake a pillar holding up the heavens, no matter how great his strength (relative to mortals), it remained futile against the "essence" of the pillar's existence.
