Chapter 854: Grand Finale_5
The mana of a Quasi-Saint is also infinite. Take Buddha Tathagata, for instance—there's no need to worry about his energy depletion, as energy never truly dies, and his mana will not exhaust either. The only difference is that they cannot summon all the energy between heaven and earth at once.
Now, Xin Yun has preliminarily reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, and the Foundation of a Saint is none other than the legendary Hongmeng Purple Qi. This item is believed to currently be in Hongjun's possession. To obtain it is an almost impossible endeavor, not worth considering.
With Pangu's Relics, Xin Yun has acquired the power of a Quasi-Saint. Following the path he has mastered, Xin Yun gradually touched upon the essence of the Great Dao. After a millennium of exploration, at last... Xin Yun slowly opened his eyes. Many things finally became clear to him...
Letting out a long sigh, a mere thought later, Xin Yun instantly left the Heavenly River Abyss and appeared in the void. Suspended in midair, Xin Yun shut his eyes slightly and took in everything around him.
At this moment... masters at Diamond Grade had already become as common as cattle, and even a Diamond Ten-star rank was no longer a rare sight. Releasing his spiritual awareness, Xin Yun quietly observed this world. After a long while... Xin Yun sighed once more.
Over the millennium, Xin Yun's banking plan had already been accomplished, and the Sky-opening Axe had been restored to its tenth layer. Achieving this had nearly drained the continent of all its gold and silver. By now, only paper currency circulated on the land.
This was not the important point. The key issue lay somewhere else: at an unknown point in time, this world had been thrown into complete chaos. The entire Dragon Clan had splintered into three factions—the avian faction revered the Phoenix as its sovereign, the beast faction honored the Qilin as its leader, and the scale-clad faction worshiped the Dragon as its ruler. The three camps clashed in incessant battles, plunging the heavens and earth into darkness, leveling mountains, overflowing rivers and lakes, turning the entire Primordial World into utter disarray.
Though they were referred to as Phoenix Clan, Qilin Clan, and Dragon Clan, in Xin Yun's eyes, they were all Dragons. At the very start, everyone shared one unified identity—Dragons!
Witnessing this frenzied world, Xin Yun closed his eyes in anguish. Was the Dragon Clan too powerful? There was no need to elaborate—so long as the Dragon Clan existed, there would never be any room for other races to survive. Even the mighty Demon Race was nothing more than blood sustenance for the Dragons. Only the destruction of the Dragon Clan would grant the Demon Race a chance to flourish.
As for the Witch Clan, it was not as strong as the novels depicted. Simply put, the Witch Clan were merely people with particularly robust physiques.
Yan Qingying was sold off at the time because she couldn't summon her Dragon, leading people to believe she was someone abandoned by the Dragon God. In truth... such individuals were not rare, accounting for about twenty to thirty percent of the population. These people were known as Witch People!
Being unable to summon a Giant Dragon made one exceedingly weak in the eyes of the Dragon Clan. Even a mere Golden Rank Giant Dragon could wipe out an entire city populated by such people in a short time—this was no exaggeration.
The Dragon Clan's strength was of a Defying Heaven Level. If the Witch People represented Pangu's flesh and physical power, then the Dragon Clan embodied Pangu's bloodline and energy. In the absence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches reaching their pinnacle, the Dragon Clan remained the undisputed overlords of heaven and earth!
If we liken the Dragon Clan to dinosaurs, then Witches and Demons would be akin to ordinary humans. Just reflect on the power disparity between dinosaurs and regular humans, and you'll grasp the vast chasm separating the Dragon Clan from the Witch Ghosts—it is leagues apart.
The Dragon Clan was overwhelmingly strong. As time passed, their might grew even greater. By reaching Diamond Grade, even a casual strike could match the destructive force of a nuclear bomb. Thankfully... Diamond Grade masters were still relatively few. But once their numbers surged, this world, vast as it may be, likely wouldn't withstand the upheaval caused by the Dragons.
Undoubtedly, the Dragon Clan was belligerent—especially the Wild Giant Dragons, who fought daily. In a certain sense, as the Dragons rapidly increased their strength, they had already turned into the destroyers of this world. If this world were likened to a computer, then the Dragon Clan would be an exceedingly destructive virus, nearing the point where it had to be eradicated.
If unchecked, allowing the Dragon Clan to continue its rampage unabated, this world would sooner rather than later be reduced to rubble. When that happened, this "computer" would need to be formatted and restarted. For this world, it would be equivalent to returning to cosmic chaos and initiating another creation cycle.
However, here lies the issue: Pangu is dead, and the Saint has yet to emerge. Once the world reverts to chaos, who would be responsible for reopening heaven and earth? Clearly... this is an unsolvable dilemma. And when it cannot be resolved, the so-called Dao would inevitably activate, working to eliminate the Dragon Clan—the great virus!
Pangu may have died, but his energy did not perish, nor did his strength. The Giant Dragons themselves are Pangu's bloodline, Pangu's tendons and meridians. As of today, the Dragon Clan has finally reached its peak. Every Giant Dragon's destructive power has attained apocalyptic levels!
Gazing upon the crumbled mountains, the fractured earth, and the surging seas and overflowing rivers, Xin Yun finally understood the rules of the Great Dao, the order of the Dao.
Pangu's act of creation, opening heaven and earth—it was no easy feat. He sacrificed everything to grant all living beings a peaceful sanctuary. Yet... the rise of the Dragon Clan had gradually endangered this very heaven and earth. If the Dragons were allowed to continue disrupting the order unchecked, this world would inevitably collapse. This... was clearly not something the Great Dao would permit.
