“What a powerful aura. Who is displaying their magic power so unscrupulously?”
“This aura is… Zhou Bushi! Could it be that he is going to pull out… that spear?”
“It’s really his aura. I didn’t expect him to have grown to this extent after ten thousand years. His magic power should be enough to ascend, right?”
“Where did that spear come from? Even an Immortal Emperor could not lift it. Who was it that was testing him?”
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Immortal Gods discussed fervently. After knowing that it was Zhou Bushi’s doing, the Immortal Gods no longer panicked and began to discuss curiously.
The Celestial Emperor stared at the Heaven Punishing Spear and slowly revealed a smile.
“I see. The real calamity is about to begin. Zhou Bushi, don’t disappoint me.”
It had been a long time since his battle with Emperor Xuan Sun, but the Heavenly Court had yet to ascend. The Celestial Emperor had his suspicions before, but now that he saw the Heaven Punishing Spear, he finally understood.
The Emperor Xuan Sun was only a prelude to the great calamity.
The real protagonist of the calamity was Zhou Bushi. With his current prestige and talent, he would certainly be able to gather strength that exceeded the former Imperial Court.
On the other side.
Zhou Bushi, who held the Heaven Punishing Spear, was slowly exerting his strength. He was afraid that he would be expelled from the Taiyi Immortal Realm by the Heavenly Dao, so he controlled his strength very precisely.
The Heaven Punishing Spear trembled slightly. This meant that Zhou Bushi already had the power to control it.
The spectators in the distance were still nervous. They did not dare to blink, fearing that they would miss something.
“Rise!”
Zhou Bushi suddenly shouted and raised his right arm. The Heaven Punishing Spear rose, raising a terrifying wave of air that shook the sky.
At that moment, everyone in the Endless Void heard his shout.
Rumble—
Thunderclouds gathered out of thin air and covered Zhou Bushi’s head. The ghosts in the netherworld seemed to have sensed something and wailed.
Shocking the world, ghosts and gods wept!
A golden light pierced through the sea of clouds and shone on Zhou Shishi.
Zhou Shishi held the Heaven Punishing Spear with one hand and carefully sensed the golden light on his body. He revealed a surprised expression.
“This is…”
Zhou Bushi muttered to himself. Somehow, he understood something and a look of relief appeared on his face.
Cheers came from afar, all congratulating Zhou Bushi on his success and completion of the legend.
However, Zhou Bushi was not happy. He waved the Heaven Punishing Spear around and raised it with his hand. Then, he turned around and looked at the distant sky, his eyes filled with battle intent.
“Since I am the perpetrator of the calamity, let me turn the world upside down!”
In the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, a palace stood above the clouds. Strange phenomena surrounded it, and the dragon and phoenix looked auspicious.
In the hall, Jiang Jian sat at the head of the table with three people sitting below him. They were the Dark Emperor Jiang Yi, Tong Ci, and Tong Xue.
It had been a long time since the end of the Martial Dao calamity, and the identity of the Dark Emperor had long become history. Right now, after Jiang Yi re-cultivated, he had once again reached the peak below the Zenith Heaven Realm. Right now, he was also aiming for the Zenith Heaven Realm.
It was time for the Jiang Clan to produce a Zenith Heaven Immortal!
Even though the Dao Ancestor and his grandmother were both Zenith Heaven Immortals, in the eyes of the Jiang Clan, they were the parents of the entire Immortal Dao. The Jiang Clan should give birth to another Zenith Heaven Immortal so that they could live up to the reputation of the Dao Ancestor’s bloodline.
“That year, Zhou Bushi challenged the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court and was undefeated for eighty battles. Even Tianming was defeated by him, but he still refuses to stop. It seems like his thoughts are not simple,” Jiang Yi said with deep meaning.
Jiang Tianming had always been one of the top experts in the Jiang Clan. Against him, the Heaven Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei could only barely remain undefeated with their great luck. The only one who could suppress Jiang Tianming was the Celestial Emperor.
Of course, Jiang Yi had always felt that he was the strongest in the Jiang Clan. However, it was not suitable for him to appear as a member of the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Jian said, “Zhou Bushi has great karma. The calamity in the Taiyi Immortal Realm is brewing. Father must have already known and is just acting with him.”
Tong Xue could not help but ask, “Why the need to act? Master, I heard you said that Zhou Bushi will threaten the Heavenly Court. Since he is a threat, why don’t we get rid of him early?”
Tong Ci shook his head and said, “Perhaps this is the karma that the Immortal Dao talks about. If he is removed in advance, there will be a second Zhou Bushi and a third Zhou Bushi. There is no end to them. We have to resolve the accumulated hatred together before this calamity is over. A war is the best solution. A war that is enough to make everyone give up all their grudges is what the Celestial Emperor wants.”
Hearing that, Tong Xue came to a sudden realization and said, “No wonder there are different conflicts in the Mysterious Fate at different times. Every time, it would cause a huge upheaval and countless experts would die in battle. In the past, I thought that the Mysterious Fate was prone to internal strife, but now it seems that any orthodoxy would face such a situation.”
When he heard his two disciples mention the Mysterious Fate, Jiang Jian revealed a smile and said, “Speaking of leading the great calamity, the senior beside you has deep insight. It was he who obtained the hatred of all beings in the Great Dao Void that allowed the Heavenly Court and the Immortal Dao to legitimately unify the Great Dao Void.”
Tong Ci and Tong Xue immediately looked at Jiang Yi with admiration.
Jiang Yi shook his head and laughed. “Leading the calamity will result in a backlash from karma. Don’t learn from me. Transferring hatred is creating hatred in oneself. My karma took millions of years of torture to wash away.”
Jiang Jian said, “That’s right. He had suffered in the eighteenth level of Hell for millions of years, experiencing the torture of life and death every day. This is the price. Unlike other orthodoxies, the Immortal Dao has the Heavenly Dao that rules over it. There is a price to pay for messing with the common people.”
The Heavenly Dao…
Tong Ci and Tong Xue felt deep veneration. They were also immortal cultivators, and with their current realm, they could already sense the existence of the Heavenly Dao. This was a rule that the Mysterious Fate did not have.
There were no separate rules to supervise all beings in the Mysterious Fate.
Furthermore, they could sense that the Heavenly Dao was growing and was no longer inferior to the power of the Great Dao.
With an orthodoxy with its own rules, the Immortal Dao was already ahead of the Mysterious Fate!
“Alright, let’s not talk about the lower realm. What do you think of the Ancient God Realm that has been widely spread in the boundless world recently?” Jiang Yi changed the topic and asked.
Jiang Jian shook his head and said, “In any case, I’m not interested. Previously, I went to cultivate in the Mysterious Fate. Even though I obtained strength, it also delayed my cultivation.”
Jiang Yi smiled and said, “The Ancient God Realm is not an orthodoxy. It is merely a place of opportunity. However, since you are not going, I will not force you. The few Immortal Emperors of the Jiang Clan and I are prepared to take a look.”
Tong Ci hesitated for a moment and said, “The rumors about the Ancient God Realm are strange. The last time I returned to the Mysterious Fate, I heard someone talking about the Ancient God Realm. The Mysterious Fate once investigated who spread the news, but they never could find the culprit. This might be a conspiracy. The rumors about the Ancient God Realm are too exaggerated. Rumors about reviving the dead, becoming a saint on the spot, sacred treasures of the Great Dao. I’ve never heard of such a paradise before.”
Tong Xue nodded. She wanted to persuade Jiang Yi, but she was afraid of offending him.
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter. If this is a plot, the mastermind must be up to something. There must be opportunities involved. Moreover, I should go out and explore. If I sit here, I won’t see the hope of reaching the Zenith Heaven Realm.”
In the past, he was in high spirits and felt that his talents were unparalleled. However, this was the first time he felt powerless when it came to reaching the Zenith Heaven Realm.
Before he became a Zenith Heaven Immortal, his talent was really nothing. No matter how powerful a prodigy was, they would not be able to become a Zenith Heaven Immortal. Sooner or later, the others would catch up to the talented. When Jiang Yi saw his former weak juniors become Immortal Emperors like him, he was deeply stimulated. He wanted to become a Zenith Heaven Immortal even more.
“Why don’t you take us with you?” Tong Xue suddenly said. The moment she said that, she felt that something was amiss.
Tong Ci looked at her in surprise while Jiang Jian smiled without saying anything.
“There’s no need. It’s not a joke that there will be a slim chance of survival on this trip.” Jiang Yi directly refused. With that said, he stood up and left, disappearing from the hall in two steps.
Tong Xue could not help but look at Jiang Jian and carefully asked, “Master, did I say something wrong?”
Jiang Jian shook his head and said nothing more.
It was not only Jiang Yi. As the rumors of the Ancient God Realm spread to the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, more and more Immortal Emperors wanted to try their luck.
In the void, worlds of different sizes gathered here. The large world in the center emitted a resplendent light that illuminated all the worlds.
A huge ship was docked beside a small world. The bow of the ship faced the distant world. Two figures stood on the deck. One was a white-robed man and the other was a purple-armored figure.
The white-robed man was Saint Lord Si Zhen, and he had a dignified appearance. The purple-armored figure was called the Extreme Destruction War God, and he was surrounded by purple qi. From the outside, only his figure could be seen, as his true appearance was hidden.
“Are we going to do it here?” The Extreme Destruction War God asked.
Saint Si Zhen sighed and said, “There are three transcendent orthodoxies in this domain. There are not many places left for us to choose from. This was once the homeland of the Dust Ruins. Creating the Ancient God Realm here will make it easier for the cultivators of this domain to believe us.”
The Extreme Destruction War God was silent.
Saint Lord Si Zhen turned around and looked at a light screen on the roof of the ship. “Has there been any news from them?”
The Extreme Destruction War God shook his head and said, “No, there has been no news since the last time. It seems like the higher-ups have determined that the vitality of the Great Dao is still there and do not wish for us to give up on it.”
Saint Lord Si Zhen frowned and said, “I know, but the Dao Yan has already dispersed. With them like that, it will be hard to find the vitality of the Great Dao. I can only hope that the Ancient God Realm can lure out the vitality of the Great Dao.”
The Extreme Destruction War God turned around and asked, “What do you think of the Immortal Dao?”
Saint Lord Si Zhen shook his head and said, “The luck of the Immortal Dao is weak, but it is still a force that defeated the Dao Yan. I believe the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao has the ability to suppress a transcendent orthodoxy alone. He cannot be provoked.”
“But even if the news about the Ancient God Realm were to spread out, would the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Dao be tempted?”
“Impossible. An existence like him might have already sensed our presence. As long as we don’t target the Immortal Dao, it will be fine. Our target this time is the Dao Yan. Remember.”
Saint Lord Si Zhen said solemnly. His gaze landed on the Extreme Destruction War God, as if he was worried that the other party would be disobedient.
The Extreme Destruction War God snorted and said, “Don’t look at me like that. After the previous calamity, I will not act rashly, nor will I underestimate those orthodoxies that have just emerged. The current boundless world is really strange. It’s not rare for non-transcendent orthodoxies to overturn transcendent orthodoxies. Now, I look at everyone as if they are experts.”
Saint Lord Si Zhen sighed, looked at the distant world again and said, “This means that the boundless world is about to change.”
