179: Chapter 179 The Emperor Falls into the Devouring Realm, the Soul Banner Finally Becomes an Immortal!

The Chaos beyond the heavens was in a complete boil.

As those two Lin Clan Great Emperors were dragged into the banner by Qin Yu in the most overbearing and cruelest manner to become nourishment,

The entire Universe seemed to tremble amidst the despairing wails of the fallen Emperors.

In another part of the battlefield, the last remaining Ancient Ancestor of the Lin Clan—the current Lin Clan Chief—witnessed all of this and went completely insane.

His hair was disheveled, Emperor blood sprayed wildly, and his eyes were as blood-red as a vengeful ghost's.

"Ahhh! You brat! You devil! This Emperor will fight you to the death!"

He abandoned all defense and burned his remaining Emperor Realm Origin, transforming into a destructive star that crashed violently toward Qin Huangtian.

This was his final dignity and madness as an Emperor.

However, Qin Huangtian only watched him with indifference.

On that face, which was usually as calm as an ancient well, a hint of impatience finally appeared.

"Noisy."

He slowly raised his right hand and extended a single finger.

That finger was as crystal clear as jade, yet it seemed to condense the entire weight of the myriad worlds in the heavens.

Upon it, a faint trace of Mortal World Immortal Qi flashed and vanished.

"One finger to sever the ages."

He tapped lightly forward.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any world-destroying light.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

That destructive star, burning with an Emperor's final madness and brilliance,

The instant it touched Qin Huangtian's fingertip, it was silently annihilated.

It was completely erased from the level of Laws.

Not even a trace of its existence remained.

The frenzied expression on the face of the last Lin Clan Great Emperor was frozen forever.

His Emperor body, like a weathered sand sculpture, dissipated inch by inch into the Chaos.

An Emperor falls, and heaven and earth mourn together.

Three Great Emperors had all fallen here within a mere half-day.

This was terrifying news sufficient to shake the Taigu Realm for eternity.

At this moment, however, it seemed so natural.

Qin Huangtian slowly withdrew his finger, his expression as calm as if he had merely crushed an insect.

He took a step out, returning from the Chaos to land beside the imperial chariot, looking at his son who was closing his eyes to digest that vast energy.

"Played enough?"

Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power within his body that was so surging it was about to break through the shackles of the Saint King Realm.

And with those three extremely high-quality main Souls within the chaos return to ruins banner, the corners of his mouth curled into a satisfied arc.

"It's alright. The quality of this fertilizer is quite good."

As he spoke, his gaze moved past Qin Huangtian.

It cast down toward the Lin Clan territory below, which had been devastated and left in ruins by the flames of war and plundering.

"Father."

"Hmm?"

"This Realm is filthy and useless to keep. I want to refine it."

Qin Yu's tone was flat, yet he spoke words that would make any living being's heart and gallbladder burst from fear.

Refining a Great World!

What a mad, what a Heaven-Defying undertaking!

Upon hearing this, Qin Huangtian merely nodded in approval.

His son just wanted to dismantle a boring toy; why wouldn't he allow it?

"Very well. Such a filthy place indeed has no need to exist."

"It's perfect to help your banner complete this final step!"

With that, Qin Huangtian took a step and stood at the pinnacle of the Taigu Realm's sky.

He slowly raised his hands, and a Mortal World Immortal Might that surpassed the Emperor Realm and reigned supreme over the ten thousand Daos was released without reservation!

"Seal!"

His words became the Law of the heavens, his speech the mandate of reality.

At the borders of the entire Lin Clan territory in the Taigu Realm, beyond the barriers of space-time, visible golden chains of order emerged.

They instantly wove into an invisible net covering the whole world, completely sealing off this vast and boundless domain!

Having done this, Qin Huangtian gave a slight nod to Qin Yu.

"Begin."

"Good."

Qin Yu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with unprecedented fanaticism and anticipation.

He suddenly tossed the chaos return to ruins banner into the air!

"Chaos return to ruins, devour the heavens and earth!"

"Today, with a Great Realm as a sacrifice, I help you... finally become an Immortal!"

Boom!!!

Under Qin Yu's will, the chaos return to ruins banner expanded rapidly against the wind!

A thousand miles, ten thousand miles, a million miles, a hundred million miles!

It eventually transformed into a boundless purple-black canopy that blocked out the entire sky, replacing the original firmament of the Taigu Realm.

Upon that canopy, the pitch-black vortex at the center turned into a cosmic maw that indifferently devoured all things!

A terrifying suction descended from the canopy!

Doomsday had arrived.

It wasn't just those living beings of the Lin Clan who had luckily survived.

It was every city, Sect, and nation in this Great World that had nothing to do with the Lin Clan...

Billions upon billions of living beings still living in ignorance looked up in horror.

They witnessed a terrifying scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

The sky had collapsed.

The earth was ascending!

Mountains, rivers, oceans, cities...

Everything was being stripped from the ground under that irresistible mighty power.

Transforming into streaks of light, they surged backward toward the giant maw in the sky!

"What is that!"

"Help! It's the end of the world!"

"No!! I don't want to die!"

The screams, wails, and pleas of countless beings converged into a symphony of despair that echoed through heaven and earth.

But to the father and son above the firmament, this was the most pleasant immortal music.

Qin Yu closed his eyes and spread his arms, enjoying it all.

He could clearly feel the Origin, Laws, Spiritual Qi, and even the flesh and Souls of all living beings in the Taigu Realm territory.

All were being forcibly refined by the chaos return to ruins banner in the most tyrannical way, turning into the purest energy.

Inside the banner, the three Emperor Souls that had just been collected didn't even have a chance to struggle.

Under the mighty power of the banner's evolution, they were completely obliterated and turned into fuel for the advancement.

The immortal Dao Law chain on the banner's surface, which had long since become incredibly solid, began to emit a dazzling light.

Crack...

A crisp sound of shattering, as if from the dawn of the Universe's creation, rang out deep within Qin Yu's Soul.

The final shackle was broken!

Boom!!!

In that instant, all the Devilish Qi, Evil Qi, and resentment within the purple-black giant banner covering the sky dissipated.

In its place was a Grandmist Immortal Light that returned to simplicity, containing creation and destruction, and encompassing the ten thousand Daos of the heavens!

It was no longer a half-step Immortal Artifact.

But a true one, reigning above Emperor weapons and existing outside the rules of the mortal path...

An Immortal Artifact!

The name 'chaos return to ruins banner' was now a thing of the past.

It had evolved into the Hongmeng Immortal Ancient Banner!!

At the very moment the Immortal Artifact was born,

A vast, ancient, and profound immortal Dao enlightenment that could not be described in words,

Poured down from the banner like a bursting celestial river!

This enlightenment instantly enveloped Qin Yu.

It also enveloped Qin Huangtian beside him, as well as Qin Wentian, Su Zhilan, and Qin Xiyue who emerged from the Void Realm!

The bodies of the five people shook violently at the same time.

Under the baptism of this pure immortal Dao Law, the auras on their bodies,

Began to climb frantically at an incredible speed!

That supreme threshold leading to the legendary True Immortal Realm,

Was thrown wide open before them!
