Trials of the Abyss-Chapter 1001: The Spear of Creation
The supreme will of the starry skies, inhabiting Yi Hao's body, fixed its emotionless silver eyes upon Pang Lin.
"You were the first Dao Source to forge a fleshly body, sever your own will, and ascend to godhood. So, it was you." It paused in thought, then frowned. "I should've realized it sooner. After all, you're the Dao Source of Life, the very factor of existence for all beings of flesh and blood. You've surprised me, stirred my curiosity even, but no more than that."
The sea of argent light spread across the upper reaches of the starry region, heaving with storming waves. The rumble of the Heavenly Daos thundered alongside the sound of crashing waves.
Miracles erupted one after another within that argent sea. Manifestations of Dao Sources, dense interweavings of laws and orders, mighty divine beings, and advanced civilizations all took shape.
The sea of argent light radiated supreme might, as though reconstructing a civilization from the starry skies, fashioning suns, moons, and stars to create a new world.
Above that luminous sea, the dazzling River of Fate circled the Hall of Gods. Then, under the command of the silver eye, they abruptly plunged down toward Pang Lin.
That vast eye, round as a full moon, flared with divine brilliance. Laws that twisted the fabric of space and rewrote fate were projected into the descending Hall of Gods.
Time itself started to flow backward in unfathomable ways.
The tide of life energy within Pang Lin retraced its former path, surging back into the myriad beings from whence it came!
Pang Lin's cultivation realm in the Exalted God Realm plummeted. A force was suppressing her back to the Transcendent God Realm!
Luo Hongyan saw her newly-grown feathers retract back into her wings, and the life energy that had resurrected her was abruptly stripped away.
The aura of death pervaded her injured body once more. Her eyes fluttered shut as she rewound from resurrection to deathly silence in the span of a single heartbeat!
The five Great Demon Gods, the four Fey Gods, and the high-ranking Gods watched everything unfold from within the Ruin Realm, feeling as though they had dreamed an impossible dream.
In that dream, Pang Lin had ascended to the Exalted God Realm, and Luo Hongyan had been resurrected. Pang Jian had reached a realm beyond imagination, forging within the sea of argent light a brand-new Primordial Chaos Starry Region.
It was as though they had briefly glimpsed the future, but that was all it would ever be—a fleeting dream of a future that would never be.
Something profoundly peculiar was unfolding in the upper reaches of the Primordial Chaos Starry Region.
The vast sea of argent light seeped into Pang Jian's replica Primordial Chaos Starry Region, causing the stars within to vanish one by one. The lightning vortexes, glaciers, celestial bodies, and the five continents corresponding to the five elements all disappeared back into Pang Jian's Immortal Divine Soul.
Without the recreated Primordial Chaos Starry Region to shield him, Pang Jian once again fell into that dazed and witless state.
Luo Hongyan's body, grievously wounded and wretched, drifted beside Yi Hao as before, and the endless sea of argent light dominated the upper reaches of the starry region. The Hall of Gods hovered threateningly above that luminous sea.
This was before Pang Jian had stepped into the Creator Realm. Pang Lin similarly had not ascended to the Exalted God Realm, and Luo Hongyan lay grievously stricken, on the verge of perishing.
"Fate, time, and space, when woven together, can rewrite the fabric of reality itself. I can reverse time to the moment of your greatest weakness." Its lips curved into a contemptuous smile. "I can seal and shroud the entire material world and all life within it. This is the divine technique I acquired after refining countless Dao Sources over the eons."
The silver eye that embodied the supreme will condensed into a radiant silver spear that emanated an aura of piercing sharpness. With Yi Hao's hand, it gently clasped the wondrous spear and, with a casual thrust, drove it toward Luo Hongyan.
"Since Pang Jian has already entered the Sea of Creation that belongs to me, you no longer have any need to live."
The spear passed effortlessly through Luo Hongyan's body and the lingering wisp of her divine soul. Her blood and flesh, her divine soul, her aura, and even the Dao Sources of Light and Darkness she had fused as one were all devoured in an instant.
"This spear, wrought from my very eye, is called the Spear of Creation," it explained with cold solemnity.
Rings of black and white emerged on the shining silver spear, each carrying the profound truths of light and darkness.
Giving the spear a gentle shake, absolute darkness took over the unclaimed spaces above the sea of argent light and in the lower reaches of the starry region below. Then, in the blink of an eye, dazzling light replaced that endless darkness.
Refining the Dao Sources within Luo Hongyan had granted it mastery over the two opposing forces of light and darkness.
"You siblings are strange indeed. It's as if you were born to oppose me." It shook its head, hefted the Spear of Creation to rest on its shoulder, and pointedly glanced at the restless bizarre mist below. "Unfortunately for you, the Dao Sources you've seized are few, and the wonders you command are lacking. You cannot win."
With that, the twelve divine artifacts forged from the World God Pendants suddenly shattered into golden light, silver radiance, and tangible shards of precious metals, falling like a meteor shower into the Sea of Creation.
The Dao Source of Metal's divine techniques were reduced to twelve Dao Seals and branded into the sea of argent light. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"I had my reasons for choosing Yi Hao as my vessel and did not hesitate to pour everything into nurturing him."
Its gaze remained fixed upon the bizarre mist below. In its eyes, only the supreme will of the bizarre mist was worthy of waging a battle of true meaning against it.
"All that has happened leaves behind its traces. Even when time is reversed, they cannot be wholly erased," Pang Jian said hoarsely, face still clouded in confusion. Lifting his head toward Yi Hao and the Hall of Gods above, he muttered, "Energy Severance."
A patch of nothingness appeared in the sea of argent light!
Energies and divine power were reduced to nothingness with a mere look from Pang Jian, be it the sea of argent light, the Hall of Gods, or even Yi Hao!
