"Where are they? Hand them over."
Mu Changqing spoke indifferently, his sword pointed at the strange creature, his gaze still defiant, not taking it seriously.
The strange creature wielded the Sky Blade, which could easily sever the eons, and within the chasm, an endless grey mist once again enveloped it.
Moments later, the grey mist was devoured and receded by the strange creature, which reappeared in their sight, its aura restored to its peak, its severed arm regenerating.
Rumble!
The strange creature slashed through space with its blade, pointing at Mu Changqing and saying coldly,
"A mere ant, what right do you have to speak to me? You dare to injure me, you are courting death."
The strange creature could not heed Mu Changqing's words. It had lived for an immeasurable age and was high above, looking down upon all beings in the Great Primordial World.
Now, having been wounded by Mu Changqing's sword, its supposedly immortal and indestructible body broken, how could it not be enraged?
It was like being the creator, who created billions of beings, only to be bitten by one of its creations. Naturally, it would feel its majesty challenged and its supreme throne defiled.
As it spoke, the strange creature's massive body vibrated, resonating with the infinite runes within the chasm, constructing the Divine Execution Domain, drawing upon the supreme power of the Grey Ancestral Origin, forming a terrifying killing force that surpassed even divine destiny.
Then, it raised both arms, the sharp and terrifying Sky Blade held high, imbued with the Divine Execution Domain, and attacked Mu Changqing and the others.
Seeing this, Mu Changqing spoke coldly, sneering.
"Stubborn fool, since you refuse to talk, then die."
As his voice fell, Mu Changqing unleashed the forbidden power of the Burial of the Heavens Bead's origin, and a chilling violet flame erupted, piercing the dark sky and transforming into an unparalleled killing blow.
Rumble!
Upon collision, darkness and light intertwined and clashed, and terrifying impact forces permeated all realms, with vast power surging forth.
Crack!
In an instant, the massive and sharp Sky Blade shattered. The Burial of the Heavens Sword, unstoppable, struck directly at the strange creature's core.
That forbidden power, which buried all living beings and all things, instantly annihilated everything knowable, sweeping through the depths of the chasm like a destructive storm.
The strange creature roared in terror, and as it tried to escape, its massive body was engulfed by endless violet sword energy, isolating it from the present dimension and continuously being shattered beneath the weight of time.
"Aaaahhh! No, who exactly are you? You are a variable, you actually possess the aura of *that thing*."
The strange creature roared in terror, struggling frantically, unwilling to perish.
Mu Changqing looked down at the strange creature, his sword pointing at its lingering, broken body, and said coldly,
"Where are they? Tell me, and I will grant you a swift death."
"Heh… hehe, you actually dared to intrude into the Grey Ancestral Origin. You cannot even pass the Grey Ancient Path, how can you find them? You will die, all variables will die."
The strange creature responded coldly, its face contorted with extreme pain.
Mu Changqing's expression grew colder, terrifying violet flames flickering in his eyes.
He looked at the crazed, roaring strange creature and drew upon unknown power to deduce the meaning of its words.
However, unknown forces interfered with Mu Changqing, preventing him from discerning the truth.
Now, even the heavens could not shield Mu Changqing's perception and deduction. Such a strange existence capable of this could only be seen as a glimpse from the projection of the Burial of the Heavens Bead, originating from the Grey Ancestral Origin.
"Will die? I don't know if I will die, but you will surely die, because I said so."
As Mu Changqing spoke, a forbidden world of disaster evolved in his palm, filled with infinite evil power, spewing forth the indescribable source of darkness.
Bang!
Mu Changqing struck out with his palm. In an instant, the entire entrance of the chasm collapsed. The grey ancient path, which stretched endlessly, instantly crumbled and shattered. The earth fractured as if an abyss had been gouged into it, breaking inch by inch.
The scene was desolate and cracked, like the end of the world.
Under Mu Changqing's strike, the strange creature was annihilated. Its anomalous matter was destroyed, cutting off its path to revival. No matter how the strange power within its body, which did not belong to spiritual energy or primordial energy, tried to repair itself, it was all useless.
"Aaaahhh, you are indeed a variable, you can break the rules of immortality and indestructibility. I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled!!!"
The strange creature's voice grew weaker and weaker until it faded into nothingness, perishing completely.
As its body exploded, endless grey mist permeated all realms, eroding the Great Primordial space.
Yuan Datou, seeing this, did not show any fear. Instead, he displayed an expression of enjoyment, breathing greedily as if returning to his own world.
It was the Empress Xuanyue and the Dao Ancestor who now showed a trace of apprehension on their faces.
Mu Changqing paused for a moment, then waved his hand, drawing the endless grey anomalies and infusing them into Yuan Datou's body.
In an instant, Yuan Datou's body became permeated with an anomalous aura, and a vast power that did not belong to the Great Primordial World surged forth.
His body, which initially had no cultivation, now somehow possessed it.
In just a short while, he quickly passed through the Mortal Realm and entered the Immortal Realm.
The Dao Ancestor and Empress Xuanyue's eyes flickered, fixedly watching Yuan Datou's rapidly increasing cultivation.
After half an incense stick's time, as Yuan Datou completely absorbed the residual power of the strange creature, his cultivation aura actually reached the Realm of Shattering Life and Fate. His eyes turned grey, and with each breath, wisps of grey mist were exhaled.
Yuan Datou twisted his body, paused for a moment, and looked at Mu Changqing, bowing respectfully.
"Thank you, my lord, for your assistance."
Mu Changqing heard this, did not ask further questions, nodded slightly, his heart still calm, unconcerned.
Then, Mu Changqing looked towards the collapsed and shattered grey ancient path.
From the depths of the grey ancient path, anomalous grey mist steamed forth, permeating the entire path and instantly engulfing the entrance of the chasm.
In a short while, the entire grey ancient path seemed to come alive, forming a miniature resonating scene, inhaling and exhaling the grey mist.
Not long after, the collapsed and shattered grey ancient path was restored to its original state.
The only difference was the absence of the strange creature guarding the entrance of the chasm.
"What a strange place. This is the path leading to the origin of creation."
The Dao Ancestor's eyes flowed with terrifying Dao rhythm, attempting to discern the supreme mysteries within the grey ancient path.
In the end, he could only reluctantly withdraw his gaze and sigh.
Mu Changqing, however, was not greatly moved. A faint violet glow flickered around him, devouring the grey mist that tried to approach him.
"Let's go. I want to see how strange this place can be."
As he spoke, Mu Changqing took the lead, stepping into the chasm.
In an instant, the grey ancient path sensed it, as if detecting an intruder. Endless grey mist transformed into a pervasive killing intent, attacking Mu Changqing.
Mu Changqing glanced at it indifferently, the violet flames in his eyes flickering, and he let out a cold snort.
"Scram!"
In an instant, an invisible force surged forth, instantly clearing the surrounding grey mist and turning it into nothingness.
The entire grey ancient path trembled with humanized fear, its apprehension permeating the space, palpable to all.
