Chapter 1718 The Strongest Form, the Might of the Golden Spirit God
"Beware!"
The Evil Emperor roared, using all his strength to condense all his divine power into a black, ethereal barrier, which stood in front of Song Yu.
The Demon Emperor immediately merged the demonic flames with his own demonic essence, transforming them into a black demonic flame shield that intertwined with the ethereal barrier, forming a black and purple defensive wall.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's utterly overestimating its own strength!"
The ancient spirit god snorted coldly, and the golden divine pillar crashed into the defensive wall.
With a crisp "crack," the black and purple defensive wall instantly developed numerous cracks. The cracks then spread at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, the defensive wall completely collapsed.
The Evil Emperor and the Demon Emperor were struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out blood and flying backward, crashing heavily into the rock wall. This time, they were knocked unconscious and could no longer move!
The golden pillar, still brimming with power, continued its assault on Song Yu, coming within just a few feet of him. The terrifying force caused his clothes to flutter wildly, and his skin was scorched by the golden light of the pillar, sending waves of stinging pain through him.
A glint flashed in Song Yu's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he suddenly raised his hand and pulled the Primordial Spirit Technique into his bosom. At the same time, his mind sank completely into his sea of consciousness, merging with the spiral initial rune.
"Primordial Rune, All Runes Return to One!"
With a low shout, Song Yu unleashed countless runes in his sea of consciousness, which surged forth like a tide, intertwining before him and transforming into a massive chaotic rune shield!
This shield is black and white, without any dazzling light, but it exudes the vast aura of the beginning of the universe. It is a shield of rules formed by the fusion of the two symbols of birth and death with the yin and yang of heaven and earth!
"Oh!"
The golden divine pillar crashed into the chaotic rune shield with a deafening roar, but instead of the expected earth-shattering explosion, there was only a strange tremor.
The black and white patterns on the Chaos Rune Shield swirled wildly, constantly counteracting the power of the golden divine pillar, while the golden light of the divine pillar also continuously eroded the rune shield, causing the black and white patterns to fade at a visible speed!
Song Yu's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the Chaos Rune Shield. The blood mingled with the rune shield, which actually made the black and white patterns brighten a little again.
He could feel the spiritual energy and rune power within his body being consumed at an alarming rate, and waves of intense pain emanated from his sea of consciousness, as if it were about to shatter at any moment. Yet, he stubbornly held on, refusing to relax in the slightest!
"Oh? It can actually withstand it?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the ancient spirit god, which then turned into intense killing intent. "I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"
He raised his hand again, and with a clench of his golden giant hand in the void, a golden sword several meters long appeared out of thin air. Seven golden marks were engraved on the blade, which was the Spirit God Sword formed from his divine power!
He gripped the holy sword and slashed fiercely at Song Yu. A golden sword light several meters wide, carrying the momentum to tear apart heaven and earth, slashed towards the Chaos Rune Shield.
"Crack!"
The Chaos Rune Shield, already corroded by the golden divine pillar, was struck by the sword light, instantly creating a huge crack. The crack then spread, and the rune shield shattered completely.
The golden sword light, still brimming with power, slashed straight towards Song Yu's chest.
With no way to avoid it, Song Yu could only concentrate all the power of the runes in his chest and at the same time activate the last protective power of the Primordial Spirit Technique.
The Primordial Spiritual Technique flew out from his arms, the pages unfurled, and countless primordial runes enveloped him like a tide, forming a thin curtain of runic light!
"Pfft!"
The golden sword light struck the runic light barrier, shattering it instantly. The sword light grazed Song Yu's chest, tearing his clothes and leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound. Golden divine power surged into his body through the wound!
Song Yu's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the primordial core of the spiritual vein. The core trembled violently, and countless spiritual energies surged into his body, barely managing to withstand some of the damage from the divine power.
He fell to the ground, curled up, blood gushing from the wound on his chest, staining the rocks beneath him red. The power of the runes within him was almost completely exhausted, and his sea of consciousness was in complete chaos. Even the initial spiral rune had become dim and lifeless.
"Hahaha!"
"You are still too weak! The Primordial Spirit Technique is powerful, but you have only achieved a preliminary understanding of it and cannot unleash even one ten-thousandth of its power. Do you think you can contend with me?"
He slowly walked towards Song Yu. With each step, the ground trembled violently, and golden divine light formed golden lotuses beneath his feet. Wherever he passed, the rubble turned to dust.
His gaze fell on Song Yu as if he were already dead: "I consider you a talented person. If you hand over the Primordial Spirit Technique now and submit to me, I may spare your life!"
Song Yu lay on the ground, slowly raising his head. His eyes were bloodshot, yet they still shone with an indomitable light.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, braced himself against the ground, and slowly stood up. The wound on his chest was still bleeding, and the spiritual energy and rune power in his body were almost exhausted, but his spine remained straight.
Song Yu scoffed, "Spirit God, you dare to challenge me? The Primordial Spirit Technique carries the will of the initial runes and represents the most fundamental rules of heaven and earth. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a clown who tries to control the rules and enslave all living beings! Today, even if I, Song Yu, perish, I will never allow you to touch even a fraction of the Primordial Spirit Technique!"
Before he could finish speaking, Song Yu abruptly closed his eyes, his mind sinking back into his sea of consciousness.
At this moment, his sea of consciousness was in chaos, with countless runes shattered and broken. The initial spiral rune was curled up in the center of his sea of consciousness, almost extinguished.
Without the slightest hesitation, Song Yu ignited his divine soul power, transforming it into a blazing divine soul fire that enveloped the spiral initial rune.
"With my soul, I draw upon the origin of the Spirit Technique; with my blood, I fuse with the rules of life and death!"
Song Yu's voice rang out in his sea of consciousness, and at the same time resounded throughout the entire spiritual vein.
His divine soul fire burned wildly, and his own life force was being consumed at an alarming rate. His hair turned gray at a visible speed, wrinkles appeared on his face, and he instantly became incredibly old!
Nourished by the fire of the soul, the spiral initial rune suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, flying out from the center of his sea of consciousness and hovering above Song Yu's head.
The runes rotated, drawing upon countless primordial runes throughout the world. Beyond the spiritual veins, and throughout the universe, all the primordial runes felt the call and surged towards the depths of the spiritual veins like a tide.
The Primordial Spirit Technique also burst forth with dazzling light, and the pages of the book turned automatically without wind, flipping to the last page. This page had never been opened before, and it contained no runes, only a black and white vortex, which was the original image of birth and death being of the same origin.
"Buzz!"
Countless initial runes surged into Song Yu's body, merging with his soul, blood, and spiritual energy.
His body began to transform; his gray hair turned black again, the wrinkles on his face gradually disappeared, the wound on his chest healed at a visible speed, and his damaged body was rapidly repaired under the nourishment of the rune power.
His aura began to surge wildly, breaking through one bottleneck after another from his previous realm, and finally stopping at the quasi-half-step Supreme Emperor realm, only one step away from the half-step Supreme Emperor realm!
The power of runes around him merged with the rules of heaven and earth, and Song Yu's figure slowly floated in the air. Black and white rune halos surrounded him, forming a chaotic light curtain. The Primordial Spirit Technique floated above his head, reflecting the spiral initial runes. Countless initial runes wandered around him, as if he were the rules themselves!
"This... what kind of power is this?"
The ancient spirit god's smile froze on his face, a hint of fear and apprehension flashing in his eyes. He could clearly sense Song Yu's power at this moment. Although he had not yet reached the level of a half-step supreme emperor, he was already able to invoke the initial rules of heaven and earth. This power was more primordial and more terrifying than his divine power!
"Birth and death share the same origin; rules are supreme!"
Song Yu spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, as if everything in the world was under his control!
"Ancient spirit god, you attempted to control the rules with your divine power, but you did not know that the rules exist between heaven and earth, beyond human control. Only by conforming to them can one achieve harmony. You have defied the heavens, and today, I will punish you according to the rules on behalf of heaven and earth!"
Before he finished speaking, Song Yu raised his hand and waved it. The Primordial Spirit Technique and the Spiral Initial Rune above his head simultaneously burst out with dazzling light. His right hand condensed into a black and white longsword. On the blade, the six runes of life, death, heaven, earth, yin, and yang shone brightly!
This is the sword of life and death rules formed from the initial runes; his left hand condenses a black and white vortex, within which countless runes rotate, which is the primordial power of life and death originating from the same source.
"This sword is called Life and Death, and it cuts down all forces that defy the heavens."
With a swift movement, Song Yu transformed into a streak of black and white light, rushing towards the ancient spirit god.
His speed was so fast that it transcended space and time. In the eyes of the ancient spirit god, it seemed that the entire world consisted of only this black and white streak of light and the long sword that contained the rules of life and death.
"court death!"
The ancient spirit god was furious. The fear in his eyes turned into a raging fire. How could he tolerate an ant who was almost a half-step supreme ruler being so presumptuous in front of him!
He gripped the Divine Sword of the Spirit God, and the seven golden patterns around his body simultaneously burst forth with light. The power of a half-step Supreme Emperor peak was unleashed without reservation, and the golden divine light engulfed the entire spiritual vein. He then slashed out with his sword towards Song Yu.
A golden sword light several meters wide, carrying a world-destroying aura, collided with Song Yu's black and white stream of light.
"boom!"
This collision was completely unmasked, producing a deafening roar.
The golden divine light and the black and white rune power collided and eroded each other, causing the entire spiritual vein to tremble violently, the rock walls to collapse inch by inch, and the primordial spiritual core to explode directly, turning into countless streams of spiritual energy that surged into the world.
