103: The immortal sword breaks fate, the cone shatters and devours.

Above the Guixu Altar, the pressure emanating from the three ancient gods' true forms was like the overturning of the Universe.

Lu Qingxuan, at the center of this pressure, had his Chaos Immortal Sword Body automatically erupt with grayish-white Immortal Light. Seven wisps of Immortal Qi circled his body like Dragons, barely allowing him to stabilize his form. Beside him, Su Linger's Purple Firmament Reincarnation Body shimmered with light, the reincarnation mirror suspended above her head. The mirror's surface reflected the three gods' majesty, humming under the immense strain.

This was the true Divine Might of ancient gods—each once wielding a grand Dao, surviving for millions of years, overseeing the rise and fall of all heavens. Even with Lu Qingxuan having just entered Undergoing Tribulation and possessing Immortal Qi, facing such existences was like an ant gazing at the sky.

"To face us three in your Undergoing Tribulation realm without kneeling..." Heavenly Fate Child sat on the golden wheel of destiny, his eyes as indifferent as the Heavenly Dao. "Even the Chaos Sword Master back then was nothing more than this."

"Unfortunately, you are destined to die." The gluttonous black hole form slowly rotated, billions of tentacles extending from its edges, each entwined with the Law of Devour. "Your Immortal Qi... is very delicious..."

Decay Extinction remained silent, the mold spots on his grayish-white divine body squirming like living things. His Decay Domain silently unfolded,

Although the three gods did not immediately attack, their three supreme Laws had already interwoven into a net, sealing off all escape routes.

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath, gripping the zhan xu sword tightly.

He looked at the center of the altar—Yin's corpse had most of its Origin extracted, its crimson eyes dim and lifeless. The remaining clear will was like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.

"Senior, hold on," he transmitted with his Divine Sense.

Yin's weak response came: "Child... listen carefully... These three traitors are extracting my Origin not just to Break through to Dao Master... What they truly want to do... is to refine the 'Annihilation of the Returning Ruins Tide' accumulated in my body over millions of years..."

"Once successful... they will use the power of the tide... to restart the timeline of all heavens... erase all resistors... and establish an eternal divine dynasty..."

Restart the timeline? Erase resistors?

Lu Qingxuan's heart was greatly shaken.

No wonder the three ancient gods hadn't directly appeared to rule for millions of years, but instead manipulated the Void Abyss in secret. Their true goal was to completely rewrite history and become the sole gods of all heavens!

"There is only one way to stop them..." Yin's voice grew weaker. "Destroy the wheel of destiny... interrupt Heavenly Fate Child's control over Karma... otherwise, no matter how you struggle... you will be corrected by fate..."

At this point, Yin's last clear will completely dissipated.

In those crimson eyes, the last trace of rationality was completely devoured by madness, replaced by pure destructive desire.

"Roar—!!!"

The corpse roared towards the sky, breaking free from some chains, and a terrifying aura of annihilation erupted like a tsunami!

"Not good, it's completely mad!" The glutton exclaimed in shock and anger. "Heavenly Fate Child, speed up the extraction!"

"No need to panic." Heavenly Fate Child's expression was calm, and the wheel of destiny spun faster. "A mad Yin is easier to refine."

Golden Karma threads tightened frantically, piercing into Yin's corpse like blood vessels, and the extraction speed surged threefold!

Decay Extinction's decaying mold spots and the glutton's devouring tentacles also exerted force. The three powers were like three guillotines, aiming to completely sever the ancient god's last vitality.

"We can't wait any longer!" Su Linger shouted, the reincarnation mirror glowing brightly. "Reincarnation: Time Reversal!"

Purple light shot from the mirror, illuminating the center of the altar, attempting to reverse the process of Yin's extraction.

But the moment the purple light touched the Karma threads, Heavenly Fate Child merely glanced indifferently: "A mere projection of the reincarnation mirror dares to defy my destiny?"

The wheel of destiny trembled slightly, and a golden ripple spread out.

Buzz!

The reincarnation mirror's light was hit hard, cracks appeared on its surface, and Su Linger groaned, a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Your opponent is me." Decay Extinction's grayish-white eyes rotated, and the Decay Domain suddenly contracted, transforming into billions of mold-spot chains that wrapped around Su Linger. "Decay: All Souls Return to Dust."

Where the chains passed, even time was corroded into holes!

"Linger, retreat!"

Lu Qingxuan stepped out, sweeping with the zhan xu sword.

"Immortal Sword: Dust Cleaver!"

The grayish-white Sword Light struck the mold-spot chains, erupting with a harsh corrosive sound. Immortal Qi and the Law of Decay fiercely clashed, the chains breaking inch by inch, but new mold spots grew from the broken parts, endlessly.

"Although Immortal Qi restrains all Laws, my Decay... has touched the Origin of the Dao." Decay Extinction's voice was hoarse. "You cannot sever it completely."

Indeed, Lu Qingxuan could feel that each of his sword strikes consumed a wisp of Immortal Qi, while Decay Extinction's Law of Decay seemed inexhaustible.

Must finish this quickly!

His eyes narrowed, and the world-breaking cone mark on his brow suddenly lit up.

"Boundary-Piercing: Cone Strike!"

A dark golden light cone shot out from his brow, ignoring spatial distance, directly piercing towards Decay Extinction's divine body core!

The world-breaking cone specializes in breaking Law boundaries, with a special attack against all defenses!

Decay Extinction's face slightly changed, and his grayish-white divine body suddenly dematerialized, scattering into billions of mold spots. The light cone penetrated the afterimage, piercing a black hole through a hundred miles of Void Realm behind it, but failed to hit the main body.

"Very quick reaction." Lu Qingxuan snorted, the light cone returned, hovering by his side.

At this moment, the glutton's devouring tentacles had quietly arrived, wrapping around him from all directions, intending to drag Lu Qingxuan into the black hole!

"Your Immortal Qi... is mine!"

Billions of tentacles exerted force simultaneously, and the terrifying Devour power even forcibly stripped away Immortal Qi!

Lu Qingxuan retreated rapidly, but the tentacles were Following Like a Shadow, moving even faster.

At the critical moment—

"Qingxuan, use this!" Su Linger gritted her teeth, throwing the reincarnation mirror over.

The moment Lu Qingxuan received the mirror, the Purple Firmament Reincarnation Body resonated with the reincarnation mirror, and the mirror surface erupted with unprecedented light!

"Reincarnation: Reflect My True Self!"

The mirror light shone on Lu Qingxuan. His seven wisps of Immortal Qi, Chaos Immortal Sword Body, zhan xu sword, world-breaking cone... all his powers were reflected in the mirror, and then billions of combat deductions appeared on the mirror surface!

Each deduction was a possible outcome of his battle with the three gods!

This was one of the ultimate abilities of the reincarnation mirror—to deduce all Laws with the power of Reincarnation and find the optimal solution!

In an instant, thirty-six thousand combat plans flashed through Lu Qingxuan's mind.

Found it!

"Plan 7921—pierce the core of the devouring black hole with the world-breaking cone, disrupting the glutton's Law operation for three breaths, while simultaneously striking the 3600th Karma node of the wheel of destiny with the zhan xu sword, interrupting Heavenly Fate Child's extraction. Finally, ignite a portion of Yin's Origin with Immortal Qi to create Chaos and escape."

Three breaths of time, three attacks, one linked to the next!

"Now!"

Lu Qingxuan's eyes burst with brilliance, and the world-breaking cone transformed into a dark golden stream of light, fiercely shooting towards the core of the glutton's black hole!

"Petty tricks." The glutton sneered, the black hole spun faster, attempting to devour the light cone.

But the characteristic of the world-breaking cone was to

Chii—!

The light cone pierced into the core of the black hole without any obstruction!

"What?!" The glutton was shocked and enraged. The moment its core was pierced, the Devour Law experienced a brief disruption, and the tentacles' offensive paused.

It was this pause!

Lu Qingxuan's figure burst forth like Sword Light, already above Heavenly Fate Child's head, all seven wisps of Immortal Qi on the zhan xu sword burning!

"Immortal Sword: Fate Cleaver!"

The grayish-white Sword Light struck the 3600th Karma node on the wheel of destiny—that was the crucial hub for Heavenly Fate Child to control the extraction Formation!

A ripple appeared for the first time in Heavenly Fate Child's indifferent eyes: "You can even see through this node?"

He raised a hand, and billions of runes on the wheel of destiny lit up, forming a golden barrier in front of the Sword Light.

But Lu Qingxuan's sword strike poured in all his Immortal Qi and Sword Intent!

Crack—!

Cracks appeared on the golden barrier, and the Sword Light fiercely struck the node!

Buzz!!!

The wheel of destiny trembled violently, and three-tenths of the Karma threads extracting Yin's Origin snapped! Heavenly Fate Child groaned, a trickle of golden divine blood spilling from his lips.

"Courting death!" His killing intent surged, the wheel of destiny reversed, and a golden Fate Judgment Spear condensed, about to shoot towards Lu Qingxuan.

But Lu Qingxuan had already flown back with the rebound force, simultaneously clenching his right hand in the Void Realm, grabbing at Yin's corpse in the center of the altar.

"Senior, lend me some Origin!"

He forcibly intercepted a cluster of dark golden energy from the surging Origin that was being extracted from Yin—although it was only one ten-thousandth of Yin's Origin, it contained terrifying power of annihilation!

"Explode!"

The dark golden energy cluster exploded with a roar!

Boom—!!!

In the center of the Guixu Altar, an annihilation shockwave erupted, piercing through all heavens!

The three gods' expressions changed simultaneously, and they had to divert power to resist the impact. Lu Qingxuan, meanwhile, used the aftermath of the explosion to retreat ten thousand miles with Su Linger, creating distance.

The entire process took only three breaths.

Within three breaths, he pierced the glutton's black hole core, severed a portion of Heavenly Fate Child's Karma, ignited Yin's Origin to create Chaos, and successfully escaped!

On the altar, the smoke and dust gradually dispersed.

The three gods' expressions were all grim.

They had allowed a junior who had just entered Undergoing Tribulation to do all this right under their noses.

"This child... must not be left alive." Heavenly Fate Child wiped the golden blood from his lips, his eyes as cold as an ancient abyss.

"His combat intuition... is too terrifying." The wound at the glutton's black hole core slowly healed, and its aura slightly decreased.

Decay Extinction's grayish-white eyes stared at Lu Qingxuan, slowly saying: "What he just used... was the reincarnation mirror's deduction power. The Purple Firmament Sovereign Lord back then used this mirror to deduce the possibility of our betrayal..."

The three gods looked at each other, seeing apprehension in each other's eyes.

Must kill him quickly!

In the distance, Lu Qingxuan was still catching his breath.

In those three breaths, he had consumed all his Immortal Qi, most of his Sword Intent, and forcibly intercepted Yin's Origin. His body was now empty, and the Chaos Immortal Sword Body had dimmed a bit.

Su Linger was even worse; the reincarnation mirror's projection was on the verge of shattering, and her Purple Firmament Reincarnation Body's Origin was damaged.

"Qingxuan, they will... kill us at all costs next." Su Linger's face was pale.

"I know." Lu Qingxuan gripped the zhan xu sword, his gaze unusually firm. "But we still have a chance."

"What chance?"

"In the secret message Senior Yin sent me last... he mentioned a place." A fragmented star map appeared in Lu Qingxuan's Divine Sense. "At the deepest layer of the Guixu Sea Eye, there is a 'heart of annihilation,' which was the source of the Guixu Tide back then, and also the true core of Yin's power."

"If we can enter the heart of annihilation and use the reincarnation mirror to guide the power of the tide, perhaps... we can briefly awaken Yin's last consciousness."

"And after awakening?"

"After that..." Lu Qingxuan looked at Yin's corpse struggling madly on the altar. "It will be three ancient gods, facing a conscious, enraged, Chaos ancient god who controls the Origin of Guixu."

Su Linger gasped.

That would be a true divine war!

"But how do we break through the three gods' blockade and enter the heart of annihilation?"

Lu Qingxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Linger, is the ultimate ability of the reincarnation mirror... 'Reversing Life and Death'?"

Su Linger was startled, then nodded: "Yes, but it requires burning all the caster's Divine Soul and the Origin of the Reincarnation Body, and can only be maintained for three breaths..."

"Three breaths is enough." Lu Qingxuan looked at her. "Later, I will use the world-breaking cone to forcibly tear open a passage to the heart of annihilation. You seize the opportunity and rush in."

"What about you?"

"I'll stay and hold them off."

"No!" Su Linger exclaimed anxiously. "You'll die!"

"No." A resolute look flashed in Lu Qingxuan's eyes. "I still have a trump card... I haven't used yet."

He looked at the System interface.

dao rhyme value balance: 110 million.

Enough to copy a... seven-colored entry.

And before him, there were three ancient gods.

"System, scan Heavenly Fate Child, the glutton, and Decay Extinction, and find their most core and powerful seven-colored entries!"

[Scanning...]

[Target: Fate Ancient God, Heavenly Fate Child]

[Core Entry: Fate Dominator (Seven-Colored) — Wields partial authority over the long river of fate in all heavens, capable of altering Karma, foreseeing the future, and judging existence]

[Target: Devouring Ancient God, Taotie]

[Core Entry: Devouring Origin (Seven-Colored) — Controls the source of the Law of Devour, capable of devouring all things to feed oneself, theoretically with no upper limit to growth]

[Target: Decay Ancient God, Decay Extinction]

[Core Entry: Time Decay (Seven-Colored) — Touches the Domain of time with the Law of Decay, capable of accelerating the aging of all things until they return to nothingness]

Three seven-colored entries!

Each one represented the pinnacle of a great Dao!

Lu Qingxuan's eyes burned with fervor.

"System, what would happen if I forcibly Fused these three entries?"

[Deducing...]

[Fusion success rate: 7.3%]

[Consequence of Fusion failure: Host's Divine Soul shatters, true spirit annihilates]

[Possible product of Fusion success: Unknown (beyond current System cognition)]

[Warning! This operation carries extremely high risk, not recommended for execution]

A 7.3% success rate... a near-certain death.

But Lu Qingxuan smiled.

"Then... let's gamble."

He looked up at the three gods on the altar, whose killing intent was boiling.

"Honored ancient gods..."

His voice was calm, yet it echoed throughout the entire Guixu.

"Do you dare... to take one of my swords?"

As his voice fell, all the power within him began to burn frantically.

Immortal Qi, Sword Intent, Chaos Immortal Sword Body, residual Yin Origin... and even his Divine Soul and life Origin!

He was gambling his life.

Gambling on that sliver of hope.

Gambling on that 7.3% possibility.

The three gods' expressions changed drastically.

"He's going all out!"

"Stop him!"

Three terrifying attacks simultaneously blasted out—the Fate Judgment Spear, the devouring black hole, and the Decay Domain!

But Lu Qingxuan merely slowly raised the zhan xu sword.

On the sword body, the light and shadows of the three seven-colored entries began to appear, intertwine, and collide...
