You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts

Chapter 837 - 377: Comprehending the Void, Ascension to Divinity with One Sword

"What should I do now?"

Ye Qingzhou looked at Crown Prince Golden Crow, a suspicion flickering in his heart.

"You don’t have to do anything; trouble will find you soon enough."

"Alas... even in death, peace eludes me..."

The vast expanse of the Returning Ruins left Ye Qingzhou clueless about where to escape, so he simply sat down and began to carefully comprehend the Void Temple.

In the past, Ye Qingzhou viewed this set of Golden Talisman Secret Text as if he were seeing flowers through a mist—unclear and elusive. Now in death, he immediately grasped its essence.

"Golden Arrow hides the Dao, death enlightens truth!"

In his mind, Ye Qingzhou began recalling the moment his heart was pierced by the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow.

Soon, countless Golden Talisman Secret Texts exploded deep within his soul, the "Void Temple" Secret Technique once inscrutable in life now clear within the darkness of death.

The chains of the Path of Death entwining the arrow shaft dragged him into the Returning Ruins, yet they became the brightest guiding light.

"So that’s how it is..."

In his spiritual form, he gazed at the patterns left by the golden arrow on his spiritual body, finally attaining clarity.

The first step, Yang Pole gives birth to Yin; when the Nine Flames Pure Yang Skill is cultivated to its extreme, a thread of absolute zero coldness will emerge at the hottest point of the Dantian.

The second step, Primordial Void; this thread of coldness is not the end but the key to the Void Realm of ’no light, no heat, no birth, no extinction.’

Ye Qingzhou’s Divine Spirit began undergoing a dramatic transformation, entering the Nine Flames Nirvana, the state of Void Soul Refining.

Simultaneously, the black and white giant tree in the Returning Ruins suddenly trembled violently, seemingly responding to Ye Qingzhou’s transformation.

Regarding the changes of Heavenly Dao and Dao Fruit, Ye Qingzhou knew nothing, absorbed in understanding the internal Yin Yang conversion of his spiritual body, watching as nine rounds of blazing Pure Yang True Essence began to collapse.

Each round of blazing sun exploded, releasing a light bright enough to illuminate three thousand worlds, yet at the peak of its brightness, all transformed into devouring darkness.

The Nine Great Divine Flames form nine rounds of blazing True Yang, ceaseless in their operation!

Each round of True Yang had the power to burn mountains and boil seas.

Nine Flames Heart Refining, One Qi Pure Yang!

In life, though Ye Qingzhou had forged his Pure Yang Body and Demigod Body, precisely for this reason, he could never break through the ultimate bottleneck of ’extreme Yang births Yin.’

Now, having personally experienced the transformation of death and darkness, he finally comprehended the profound mysteries of the Void.

Ye Qingzhou used the Power of Death and Darkness from the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow to reverse the nine yang to Nine Nether, each collapsing point forming a micro singularity.

A Void Universe formed within, the Array of All Heaven Stars composed of three hundred and sixty stars transformed into a Chaos Star Map under the interference of the nine singularities.

Ye Qingzhou opened his eyes, fingers forming a sword, and casually slashed out a Sword Qi, tearing the earth before him, splitting mountains, severing rivers with the effect of ’Dao Annihilation’ in every gesture.

The black and white giant tree in the Land of Returning Ruins suddenly emitted chaotic Divine Light, the trunk displaying the exact same Golden Talisman Secret Text as within Ye Qingzhou.

As Ye Qingzhou’s Sword Intent pierced the sky, the branches and leaves of the entire Heavenly Dao Divine Tree transformed into billions of sword forms, echoing the "Sword Dao Celestial Melody" throughout the Three Realms.

At once, the sounds of clashing swords rang endlessly.

In the present world, the Cyan Emperor’s bronze wine vat suddenly shattered.

"He comprehended the Power of Death and Darkness on the golden arrow, grasping the Path of Life and Death and the Path of Yin Yang..."

The Star Disc before the Emperor Slayer crumbled bit by bit, a knowing smile: "Not worthy of being called a duplicate of mine, Void Martial God... This is not among the hundred thousand nine thousand futures calculated... Fate is always so unpredictable."

Meanwhile, in a corner of the Land of Returning Ruins, the Netherworld, known for its dominance, revealed an anomaly today.

Under the dim and gloomy Netherworld Sky, the long-silent Celestial Bell suddenly rang, echoing through the Nine Netherworld.

From the first to the ninth toll, the bell’s sound was like tearing silk, each ring awakening a Golden Crow corpse, eight Profound Monarch’s soul flames trembled, their gazes snapping to the bell tower.

"The Ninth Profound Monarch... has returned?"

After the tenth ring, the sound did not cease; the final tone triggered a tremor throughout the Netherworld, the eight Profound Monarch’s expressions changing drastically—

"The Ten Sun... are complete?!"

In an instant, above the Netherworld, an anomaly appeared, spanning thousands of miles.

Under the eternal night’s sky of the Netherworld, ten rounds of Dark Sun Illusions suddenly manifested, the Solar Crown high and bloodstained.

The Sea of Returning Ruins boiled, a Molten Gold Coffin rising from the seafloor, its body entwined with the Sealing Chain of Empress Yuzhu, now crumbling inch by inch.

The ancient stele "Feather Tribulation Scripture" records:

"Ten tolls of the Celestial Bell, the Golden Crow reunited, the Ten Sun soaring in the air, Feather Race shall rise."

This signified the Nether Emperor had completely seized the essence of the Golden Crow, gained the authority of the Celestial Emperor Jun of old, thus fully usurping the destiny of the Feather Race to descend upon Blue Star in an intact form.

Hence, the Netherworld would return to the ’Ten Sun Era,’ where the souls of the Feather Race might break free from the shackles of death, becoming a force controllable by the Nether Emperor.

Over ten thousand years ago, having reincarnated as Empress Yuzhu of the Feather Race, the Nether Emperor had long awaited the gathering of the Ten Profound Monarchs; only then could He Substituting One Thing for Another to seize the Solar Crown of Emperor Jun!

For this purpose, He had secretly forged the Laws Destruction Golden Arrow in the distant Ancient Era, aiding Hou Yi, the monarch of Qiong Country, in shooting down nine Golden Crows with the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow, using the power of the Path of Death and Darkness to taint the Great Sun Golden Flame within the Golden Crow.

Unfortunately, the plan was foiled by the Cyan Emperor, and after Hou Yi shot down nine suns, did not continue his actions.

Yet today, with all ten suns falling into the Returning Ruins, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Within Zichen Celestial Palace, the sleeping Empress was surrounded by surging Nether Fire, the twelve crown tassels on her Solar Crown moving without wind.
