Chapter 381: Let Everything Return to Nothingness

Yet, the powers of these divine weapons varied, and the shards required to exchange for one differed accordingly. For instance, exchanging for a single Haotian Mirror Shard demanded two standard divine weapon shards.

And even if he did make the exchange, his synchronization rate with Bai Mei was a mere five percent, a far cry from the twenty percent threshold required for a complete synchronization.

Though the Wuchen Sword was cheap, its inherent power was not particularly strong; thus, the duration of the synchronization would be drastically reduced (and the same applied to the complete Wuchen Sword).

"Which one should I use?" Shopkeeper Fang mused, stroking his chin. "For the livestream... the viewers at the Half-City shop have already seen the Sword God. How about trying something new today?"

"Kid Fang, aren't you leaving yet?!"

Nalan Hongwu yelled, seeing Fang Qi still hesitating at such a critical juncture.

Right at that moment, Venerable Du You descended upon the Bagua Platform outside the Taixi Palace. Holding a command flag embroidered with the elements of water, wood, wind, and fire, he waved it vigorously, pointing straight to the south: "Li Position, Blazing Solar True Fire!"

Across the colossally massive Bagua array in the sky, a terrifying, heaven-engulfing sheet of flame poured down, looking for all the world as if Lord Lao the Supreme Senior had overturned his Eight Trigrams Furnace!

The unimaginably dreadful crimson flames swept through heaven and earth, and even the surrounding air began to ignite along with it!

Nalan Hongwu’s face darkened. Even from such a great distance, he could feel a terrifyingly high temperature that felt capable of melting a man instantly.

The fire pouring down from the sky was on the verge of turning the two of them to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Venerable Du You’re expression was cold and sinister; today, he was determined to eradicate the weeds by their roots!

But as he witnessed this scene, a smile had already crept onto his face: "Even if you are the most extraordinarily brilliant martial artist this old man has ever seen, today, this place shall be your grave! I will not casually leave behind such a massive threat and let you escape! No matter how tyrannical you may be, it is impossible to withstand the Blazing Solar True Fire. Die!"

Yet right at this moment, Fang Qi held a fractured shard of a longsword in his hand, and within his eyes, there seemed to flicker an incredibly bizarre stream of glowing data.

Immediately following that, the robes around Fang Qi’s body stirred without any wind, and his black hair completely transformed into a stark, pale white, flying wildly about him.

Slowly, his eyes opened, and what shot from them was an incomparably indifferent, divine light. His golden, serpentine pupils contained a profound, absolute darkness, akin to the dark void of space.

It was even more like the Heavenly Dao itself, exuding a deep, unfeeling coldness that disregarded all creation.

An invisible force seemed to gather beneath his feet, and as if completely ignoring the laws of heaven and earth, he floated silently into midair.

"This..."

"What's going on with the Owner?!"

"How come we’ve never seen this before?!"

All the viewers currently watching the livestream felt a sudden tremor of dread in their hearts. Even Ruan Ning, who was usually the most disrespectful and loved to roast Fang Qi whenever she could, couldn't help but shudder involuntarily at this moment!

And then, Fang Qi, suspended in the sky, suddenly raised a hand.

A terrifyingly immense magnetic field convulsed in front of him with a wave of his hand. Within the blink of an eye, a horrifying black shadow seemed to manifest before them. This shadow expanded and contracted, swallowing the rushing flames like a black hole, while simultaneously sweeping across the landscape like a tempest!

"That is..."

Song Qingfeng suddenly cried out in terror: "The Dark Particle! It's the Dark Particle!"

At the Half-City shop, Liu Ningyun, Ning Bi, and the other players who had played The King of Fighters were so shocked that they leaped straight out of their couches: "The Sunspot?!"

Almost everyone cried out in disbelief: "This is... Orochi?!"

(Note: Legend has it that the Kusanagi Sword was pulled from Orochi's tailbone.)

Rumble!

Following a succession of violent, thunderous roars, the Sunspot slammed ruthlessly into the Bagua array in the sky.

The Bagua array, which had originally been condensed from countless terrifying pillars of spiritual essence, actually had its spiritual runes shaken by this single strike, showing signs of instability!

"How is this possible?!" Venerable Du You’re face turned stark white in an instant, and he stared fixedly at the white-haired youth floating in midair as if completely unbound by the rules of the world.

"You... who are you?!" he roared in terror, those serpentine pupils striking a sudden, piercing dread deep into his heart!

At this moment, no one answered him. Venerable Du You only saw the white-haired youth in front of him suddenly blur into a phantom, vanishing without a sound!

In the next instant, the figure appeared directly behind him. With a slight lift of the hand, an incomparably massive and terrifying magnetic field blasted out like a storm!

Boom! Boom! Boom...!

Venerable Du You had barely reacted and turned his head when he saw countless intricate and dense Bagua patterns light up around his body. These hexagram runes gathered more than half the power of the grand array, yet under the attack Fang Qi had casually unleashed, they actually shook violently, looking as if they were on the verge of collapsing!

"How is this possible?! Who on earth are you?!" At this point, Venerable Du You could no longer afford to hold anything back, and he immediately mobilized all the power of the entire grand array!

Earth, fire, water, and wind—several terrifying forces flowed out from that colossally massive Bagua in the sky. These forces both countered and generated each other, complementing one another as they knotted into an unimaginably powerful collective entity of power within the array!

Simultaneously, in the sky above the grand array, stars shifted their positions, and it looked as though countless starlights were pouring down from the heavens, converging right here!

"Let me show you the full might of this grand array!" he roared. At the same time, the black-robed old man stationed at the array core, holding the Bagua plate, channeled all of his spiritual power into the plate. The hexagram characters within shifted, gradually deducing the strongest array manifestation!

The entire mountain beneath the Taixi Sect shook continuously, as if an earth dragon were turning over; this was the tremor of the underground spiritual veins.

Clearly, the master of the array had drawn out the vast majority of the spiritual energy from the subterranean veins.

"Kid Fang, run!" Nalan Hongwu had also sensed this power, which was entirely beyond what mortal strength could contend against.

Yet right at this moment, Fang Qi floated in midair, and the dark clouds behind him suddenly tore open to reveal a massive, gaping chasm.

Simultaneously, Fang Qi crossed his arms in the shape of a crucifix over his chest.

At this very second, nearly everyone watched this scene in absolute horror.

"This is...!?"

The King of Fighters players had already gasped aloud: "This is the starting pose for the Marrying the Sun!"

Meanwhile, Fang Qi’s lips moved slightly, as if chanting an incantation, obscure and difficult to comprehend. Yet strangely, everyone could understand the meaning behind it: "Let everything return to nothingness!"

Up in the sky, where the wind and clouds had already surged and dark clouds had gathered, that gaping chasm cracked open wider and wider, as if heaven itself were splitting apart!

Countless beams of light shone down, resembling a baptism of pure sunshine. The viewers watched as a corner of the screen first turned stark white, and immediately after, the colossal Bagua array in the sky—including the various forces of earth, fire, water, and wind it derived—was sliced and decomposed into nothingness!

Around Venerable Du You, the hexagram runes condensed by the array were also fading at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Never in his life had his face held such sheer horror as it did now: "You... how is this possible?!"
