Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 494 Death!
Chapter 502

Without farewell, without a single extra word, his figure vanished from his spot in an instant, like a wisp of elusive smoke, speeding towards the "Tomb of Ten Thousand Paths."

His speed surpassed that of light and the concepts of space and time. He wasn't flying, but rather constantly "defining" his next coordinate point, and then "appearing" there in an instant before anything could react.

Lei Zhu and Wen Xi could only see a faint black shadow, which, like a wound that pierced eternity, rapidly receded from the magnificent and boundless Blood-Weeping Ancient Wall.

"Madman! He really went! He's really gone mad!" Lei Zhu roared, but his voice carried a hint of... expectation that he himself was unaware of.

Wen Xi didn't speak, but quietly stared in the direction where the dark figure disappeared. After a long while, she sighed softly.

"Spark... what you've brought—a potent medicine that can turn the tide, or a cup of poison that will completely kill everyone?"

……

The sea dikes stretch endlessly across the sea.

It does not exist in any universe, but lies at the ultimate boundary between "existence" and "non-existence". Each barrier is more magnificent than a single universe, and every scar imprinted on it represents the fall of an unparalleled powerhouse.

Daoxu is rushing forward.

As he ventured deeper into the dam, he could sense subtle changes taking place in his surroundings.

An atmosphere of "end" began to permeate the air. This was not the nothingness of returning to the void, but a desolate feeling of everything reaching its end, like a lamp running out of oil and fading away.

He passed through one barrier after another.

He saw that in front of some of the ramparts sat giants as majestic as mountains, their bodies long since devoid of life, yet still maintaining their guarding posture; their physical bodies were themselves ramparts.

He saw that on some of the ramparts, there was a rusty spear stuck in the ground, its tip still radiating an indomitable fighting spirit, firmly pinning down a force of the Void that was trying to penetrate, unmoved for millions of years.

He saw that beneath some of the barriers, a phantom sea of ​​flowers swayed, the manifestation of the Dao of a certain empress, using an everlasting dream to fight against the eternal nothingness.

Some of these guardians are still alive, while others have long since died.

Those who were alive, upon sensing the forbidden aura of the Dao Ruins, were all awakened from their slumber, casting gazes of shock, vigilance, and even hostility upon them.

As for those who died, those heroic spirits who were left with only undying obsessions, the Dao traces, weapons, and even corpses they left behind resonated with a low, deep sound when they passed through the Dao Ruins!
Because Dao Xu possesses the aura of "Gui Xu," which they are most familiar with and most hate.

But at the same time, at the core of that aura of returning to nothingness, there is a will of "protection" that is of the same origin as them!

This contradictory combination stirred and perplexed these heroic spirits who had been silent for millennia.

Dao Xu ignored all of this.

In his eyes, there were neither the living nor the dead.

In his "Eye of the Dao Ruins," the entire boundary sea dike is an enormous "living entity" being slowly eroded by the "concept virus."

Those guardians, whether alive or dead, are all "immune cells" within this living being, fighting bravely against the virus.

And he, Daoxu, is both a virus and... an antibody.

As he continued his journey, the aura of "Dao Xu" emanating from his body became increasingly refined and profound. The power of Gui Xu within him, along with his golden-gray Dao Heart Origin, was undergoing a wondrous "refining."

He felt that he was "growing" rapidly.

The Void is the ultimate "answer".

And he is becoming the one who can write the "answer".

Finally, he stopped.

Ahead lies the 16,200th section of the barrier.

But here, there are no more "barriers".

What appeared before him was a terrifying "void" so huge that it defied description, like a black hole in the universe!
This void did not emit any suction force; it simply existed there quietly, as if it were a part that had been forcibly removed from the canvas of the universe.

Its edges are not smooth, but covered with countless grotesque, twisted "proliferations" that resemble crystals or tumors.

Those "proliferative bodies" present a strange, multicolored "dead gray" appearance.

Dao Xu could "see" that within that deathly gray interior, countless shattered laws of the Great Dao were sealed! There were the sounds of swords, zithers, dragons, and phoenixes... These were the final lamentations of thousands of different Daos after being corrupted by "Guixu"!
This is the "Tomb of Ten Thousand Paths"!
In the center of this enormous tomb, within the deepest void, a "monster" lies curled up, seemingly asleep.

It has no fixed form.

Sometimes, it transforms into a towering god or demon, its body flowing with "empty" black blood.

Sometimes, it transforms into a world tree rooted in "nothingness," with each leaf representing a path that has been devoured and distorted.

At times, it breaks down into billions of painful, desperate, yet greedy faces, emitting silent screams.

This is the Void Spirit that feeds on all things!
The moment Dao Xu arrived, the "Xu Spirit" seemed to awaken from an endless, ancient nightmare.

Its countless faces all turned towards the direction of Daoxu.

Although he had no eyes, Daoxu could feel that he was being "watched".

It was a hungry, greedy gaze, tinged with curiosity and cruelty.

"Another...food..."

A fragmented, contradictory, and insane thought, composed of countless sounds and countless laws of the Dao, echoed throughout the space.

"No...you...are different..."

"You... smell like one of our own..."

"But... you are more 'delicious'!"

boom! ! !
The spirit of the void suddenly stood up from the void!
Its form eventually solidified into a towering figure hundreds of millions of feet tall, composed of countless twisted Dao marks and pitch-black void power... "The Stitched God"!
It has thousands of arms, each of which possesses a corrupted "supernatural power" that is full of destruction and end!
Some arms held a rusty sword formed from the "sorrow of the sword way".

Some arms held up a magic tower made of "array remnants".

Some of their arms were wrapped with a black electric snake formed from the "Thunder Path Howl"!

What a desperate scene this is!
Turn the path of guardianship into a weapon to slaughter those who follow!

This Void Spirit is the most vicious mockery and curse that the Void has cast upon all the "Guardians"!

"Roar--!!!"

The Void Spirit let out a roar that shook the entire boundary sea dike, and its thousands of arms launched an attack on the Dao Void at the same time!

In an instant, all paths collapsed, and the universe was thrown into chaos!

Thousands of supreme divine powers that once dominated an era and protected billions of living beings are now, carrying the deepest malice and pollution, transformed into a "death torrent" that sweeps across everything and surges toward the Dao Ruins!

Faced with an attack powerful enough to instantly obliterate any guardian, Dao Xu's face remained eternally calm. For the first time, his eyes, now nothingness, reflected the multicolored "torrent of death."

"A flawed path, a distorted principle, the lament of the defeated..."

He commented softly, like a strict teacher critiquing a failing grade.

"noisy."

He slowly raised his right hand.

The palm that once contained "chaos" and "possibility" now has that small gray nebula reappearing in its center.

But this time, the nebula's rotation trajectory is no longer about creating "possibilities," but rather... "ending" all possibilities!
"The possibility of the end - all things return to one."

He gently grasped the surging torrent of supernatural power.

Om-!
An invisible gray singularity formed in his palm, and then suddenly spread out!
An absolute "gray area" swept outwards from the Dao Ruins in all directions!
The thousands of violent torrents of divine powers, upon entering this "gray area," were like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, losing all their power, all their laws, and all their "individuality" the moment they entered!
That rusty sword disintegrated into the purest concept of "sharpness".

That demonic tower crumbled into the most fundamental concept of "suppression".

That electric snake dissolved into the most primal concept of "destruction".

All supernatural powers were stripped of their outer shell and reduced to their original form!
Then, these thousands of different "Origins of the Great Dao" were forcibly drawn together in the same direction by an irresistible force within this gray realm!

They converged into the palm of Dao Xu!
The thousands of light spots formed by the supernatural powers, like a dazzling meteor shower, all disappeared into Dao Xu's right hand!

Dao Xu's right hand was like an insatiable black hole, swallowing everything whole!

His aura showed no increase or change whatsoever.

It was as if I had only done a trivial little thing.

"..."

The roar of the Void Spirit abruptly ceased.

Its thousands of arms were all empty. For the first time, its billions of faces showed a look of "bewilderment".

It cannot be understood.

It couldn't understand why its proud "Power of Ten Thousand Paths" was so easily "confiscated" by the other party.

“Now,” Dao Xu slowly raised his eyes, his ethereal eyes locking onto the true form of Xu Ling, “it is quiet.”

He extended his left hand, the hand that once represented "order" and "definition".

"It's my turn."

He pointed at the spirit in the distance.

“I define your ‘existence’ as a ‘mistake’.”

Boom! ! !

There is no light, no energy.

However, the moment Dao Xu finished speaking, the "foundation of existence" of that enormous Void Spirit was shaken!

Its body began to flicker violently, sometimes solid, sometimes illusory, as if the whole world was trying to "correct" this "wrong" concept!

"Roar!!!"

The Void Spirit let out a roar of extreme pain, and the power of the Void within its body surged wildly, resisting this "annihilation" from the level of "existence"!
For the first time, it felt fear!
This "kind" before us wields a higher and more fundamental "authority"!
That is... the authority to define "existence" and "non-existence"!

However, just as Dao Xu was about to completely erase this Void Spirit...

Mutation happens again!
A will that was extremely familiar to Dao Xu, yet carried a hint of something different, suddenly erupted from the deepest part of his body!

It is the torch!
At this moment, the "Flame Mark" deeply imprinted in the origin of his soul burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light!
This light is no longer guiding, no longer gentle.

Rather, it is a domineering, unquestionable... "suppression"!
A pure and ultimate power of "creation" and "order" surged out from the mark, instantly sweeping over Dao Xu's entire body, attempting to forcibly "purify" the "Power of Returning to the Void" that he had just gained control of!

"Ok?"

Dao Xu's actions were interrupted for the first time.

Finally, a crack appeared on his eternally calm face.

He could feel the will of the torch burning, roaring in anger!
"Fix... bug..."

"Back on...track..."

“You are a ‘patch,’ not a ‘virus’…”

A fragmented will resounded in his mind, carrying a supreme, godlike majesty.

The torch of knowledge would not allow him to become a "Daoist ruin"!
It wants to transform him from this forbidden form back into the "Taoist being" that it can control!
“Haha…hahahahahahaha!”

Daoxu suddenly looked up at the sky and burst into laughter.

The laughter was filled with endless mockery and chilling killing intent.

"Now you're finally thinking about taking care of me?"

"O Flame, O Flame, you send me to face the Void, yet you forbid me from possessing a weapon equal to it?"

"Do you want me to guard this dam, or... do you want me to die?!"

His questions were like sharp swords, piercing the deepest imprint of the soul!
The mark of the torch seemed to be completely enraged, its light shining brightly, and its "purifying" power became even more violent!

Dao Xu's body began to tremble violently.

The two forces within him began to clash at their most fundamental level!
On one side is the "absolute order of creation" represented by the torch.

On the other hand, it was his own choice: "The final path of harnessing nothingness"!
puff!
A wisp of golden-gray divine blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. But immediately afterward, another wisp of pitch-black "ruin blood" flowed down.

His very essence was severely damaged in this sudden "civil war"!

On the other side, the Void Spirit, which had just been severely injured, had its millions of bewildered faces instantly replaced by ecstasy and greed when it saw this scene!

It saw an opportunity!

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the tables on this terrifying "kind"!

"die!!!"
