Chapter 570: I Am Profound Yellow

The moment the four words fell, Heaven and Earth fell completely silent.

The roaring torrents of the River of Heaven and Earth Years, which spanned the Celestial Vault and cascaded down with the mighty power of the eternal ages, were isolated and muffled by an invisible force. Throughout the entire Profound Yellow Origin Realm—from the broken Central Earth battlefield to the Four Seas and Eight Desolates, to the stars in the heavens, to the countless Secret Realms and Little Worlds hidden within layers of the void, and even the nine rifts above the Celestial Vault that symbolized the will of the Dao Kings—every sound, every color, every ripple seemed to stagnate for a fleeting moment.

“THUMP!”

A dull, vast sound, echoing from the very beginning of creation like the heartbeat of the entire world, suddenly resonated and spread across all heavens and realms! Beneath Qi Yun’s feet, where he had swept his sword-like fingers, the Profound Yellow earth—ravaged by war, shattered, its Spirit Veins severed and its vitality dimmed—suddenly trembled violently!

“BUZZ!”

“BUZZ!!”

“BUZZ!!!”

An endless, continuous buzzing roared in resonance from the depths of the earth, the mountains and rivers, the seas of clouds in the nine heavens, the surging waves of the four oceans, every wisp of Spiritual Qi, and every surviving Law and Dao Trace!

Billions of light specks—some faint, some bright, some pure, some mottled—rose from every corner of the Profound Yellow World! Like a meteor shower flying in reverse, these specks of light ignored spatial barriers and pierced through the chaotic force field brought by the River of Heaven and Earth Years. From all directions, they frantically converged toward Qi Yun’s position, toward the pillar of chaotic light connecting Heaven and Earth, and toward the source of that pillar—the radiantly brilliant [Primordial] Ancient Seal!

“What is he doing?!”

“Forcibly channeling the last of the Profound Yellow Origin?! Does he want mutual destruction?!”

“No! This feeling…”

The nine Dao Kings, including the Shen Yi Daoist King and the Feng Xi Daoist King, who had just returned to their thrones with blazing auras, all sensed that something was wrong. What Qi Yun was channeling was not just simple power, but the entirety of the “mother tree” of Profound Yellow—from its roots to its branches and leaves, from the past to the future, from its existence to its concept… everything!

“Stop him!” the Shen Yi Daoist King shouted sharply, the silver reflection of the river of destiny swirling madly in his pupils. He felt an inexplicable palpitation. A variable beyond his destiny deductions, one capable of overturning the entire landscape, was taking place!

No further words were needed. The nine peak existences jointly guided and commanded the River of Heaven and Earth Years. Its chaotic waters—formed from endless fragments of time, the dust of history, and the fleeting lights of the future—had already transformed into a world-destroying flood peak. With unstoppable momentum, it crashed down onto Qi Yun’s head, threatening to completely swallow the black-robed figure and wash him away into the dust of time!

But the instant the river of years touched the chaotic light pillar, Qi Yun moved. He no longer looked at the world-destroying torrent, nor at his nine glaring great enemies. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes and spread his arms wide.

“BOOM!”

An indescribably dazzling brilliance completely erupted from within Qi Yun’s body and from the [Primordial] Ancient Seal! Within this ultimate brilliance, Qi Yun’s figure completely vanished.

The next moment—

“CRACK… CRACKLE…”

A teeth-grindingly loud noise, sounding as if the world’s foundation was shattering or some kind of restraint had been broken, echoed from inside the chaotic light pillar. The pillar of light began to violently expand and deform!

Countless phantom roots—shimmering with chaotic luster, thick as mountains, winding like giant dragons, and flowing with profound Dao Patterns on their surfaces—frantically spread out from the bottom of the light pillar. They plunged deeply and firmly into the broken Profound Yellow earth below, even piercing through the ground to root themselves into the origin core of this world!

The pillar itself, like a giant tree absorbing endless nutrients, grew and stretched madly upwards and outwards! Branches wreathed in chaotic airflows and shimmering with infinite phantoms—the sun, moon, and stars; mountains, rivers, and nations; flowers, birds, insects, and fish; ancestral sacrifices; and the rise and fall of civilizations—branched out and extended at a visible speed, piercing straight into the Celestial Vault. Its scale was immense, instantly surpassing the phantom of the Profound Yellow Treasure Tree that had previously appeared in the All Marvelous Heaven by hundreds of millions of times!

Leaves as large as stars with clear veins—each surface seemingly bearing Little Worlds and shimmering with the light of different Great Daos—rapidly sprouted and unfurled on the branches. In an instant, they grew lush and verdant, blotting out the sky and covering the sun!

The entire Profound Yellow Treasure Tree descended upon the present world!

Its massive volume propped open the Celestial Vault and stabilized the earth. Its sheer presence instantly overpowered the River of Heaven and Earth Years that spanned Heaven and Earth! If the River of Heaven and Earth Years was a roaring, surging chaotic giant dragon, then the Profound Yellow Treasure Tree in this moment was an eternal Divine Mountain—rooted in endless nothingness, standing tall through eons of space and time, remaining Immovable regardless of how the wind battered or the waves crashed!

“This… this is…”

“The true form of the Profound Yellow?!”

“He completely merged himself with the Profound Yellow Origin and the world’s mark of ‘existence’ to manifest the ultimate form of the Profound Yellow?!”

“Does he want to meet the River of Heaven and Earth Years head-on? No, that’s impossible! Under the scouring of the mighty power of time, even the true form of a world will be eroded, decayed, and ultimately disintegrated!”

The nine Dao Kings were inexplicably horrified, but what they felt more was disbelief. Qi Yun’s actions were no different from tying himself completely to the Profound Yellow—prospering together and perishing together. Facing the scouring of the River of Heaven and Earth Years, the Profound Yellow Treasure Tree might be able to resist for a moment, but it could absolutely not last. In the end, it would only be completely buried by the River of Heaven and Earth Years alongside Qi Yun!

“Exhausting everything for such a futile struggle—pure foolishness!” the World Honored One, his Golden Body dimmed, shouted sharply. “Years, crush him!”

The nine Dao Kings held nothing back, pushing the guided power of the River of Heaven and Earth Years to its absolute limit!
