C570 – Killed Wutian
“I am Death Monarch Wutian. Aren’t you concerned about facing the emperor’s retribution for attacking me?”
A resounding roar escaped Death Monarch Wutian as Zhang Xuan’s slap sent him hurtling hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, obliterating countless mountains and trees in his path.
The emperor?
The Son of Heaven?
Zhang Xuan was momentarily taken aback.
Observing Zhang Xuan’s expression, Death Monarch Wutian believed he had finally recollected something.
He stood up, a profound sense of embarrassment etched on his features.
With an unruffled demeanor, Death Monarch Wutian regarded Zhang Xuan. His inner fury had long been ignited.
Since ascending as Death Monarch countless millions of years ago, he had never endured such indignity.
He recalled Zhang Xuan. Once he returned, he would delve into Zhang Xuan’s history to uncover any vulnerabilities and devise a strategy to eliminate him.
“Tyrannical Domain!”
The calm voice of Zhang Xuan suddenly echoed, leaving Death Monarch Wutian’s face frozen.
“You
 what do you intend?”
Almost simultaneously, a burst of purple lightning emanated from Death Monarch Wutian’s eyes, creating a protective purple barrier around him.
“Zhang Xuan, eliminate him!”
Luhuang flapped his wings, his demand urgent.
Crackling with lightning, Zhang Xuan’s palm was poised. He raised his hand and brought it down with force.
“Bang!”
Amid Death Monarch Wutian’s astounded gaze, Zhang Xuan’s palm struck the defensive barrier. The formidable purple shield seemed as fragile as a thin sheet of paper beneath Zhang Xuan’s hand.
Adding to his shock was the resurgence of that familiar sensation.
At the moment when Zhang Xuan attacked, he was actually unable to utilize the Great Dao in his body.
How was this possible?
“You
”
Before Death Monarch Wutian could complete his sentence, Zhang Xuan seized his neck.
Instantly, Death Monarch Wutian’s face turned the shade of a pig’s liver, an exceedingly unflattering color.
In this moment, Death Monarch Wutian’s once-refined demeanor vanished entirely, replaced by an expression of mortification and resentment.
“Incredible! Zhang Xuan, finish him off! We can become the overlords of this territory spanning billions of miles!”
Having been tailing Gou Chen for a stretch of time, Luhuang had consistently been pursued by these skeletal entities. With their leader’s head now in Zhang Xuan’s grasp, wouldn’t they be able to reign supreme in this region from now on?
Without a hint of hesitation, Zhang Xuan abruptly hurled Death Monarch Wutian into the air.
“You can’t kill me!”
Upon seeing this scene, Death Monarch Wutian instantly understood what Zhang Xuan was trying to do. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he shouted.
At this moment, the Great Dao energy in his body could not be moved at all. He was like an ordinary person. How could he be a match for Zhang Xuan?
“Whether I can kill you or not isn’t up to you. It’s up to me!”
Zhang Xuan said as he sent a fierce kick towards Death Monarch Wutian’s head.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound was heard.
Death Monarch Wutian was like an arrow that had been shot out. In midair, his head exploded.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering and completing the beginner hidden mission, Great Dao + 1000 meters!”
Hearing the electronic voice in his mind, Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
Immediately after, a Great Heavenly Path appeared with a loud bang, piercing through the heaven and earth.
This sudden change had startled all the living beings in the vicinity. The vast and mighty Qi had shocked all the people in the surroundings. In front of this Qi, they felt like ants.
“Which Death Monarch’s son has advanced? What a terrifying Qi!”
“Aren’t you talking nonsense? This is Lord Death Monarch Wutian’s territory, naturally it’s him
 Oh right, Lord Death Monarch Wutian didn’t nurture his own son?”
Everyone stared blankly at Wutian. Since he wasn’t the son of Lord Death Monarch Wutian, how could he be so arrogant about breaking through? How could he not put Lord Wutian in his eyes?
“Let’s wait and see. Since he isn’t the son of Lord Wutian, then this man will surely die if he breaks through in Lord Wutian’s territory!”
“Boom!”
As the crowd was discussing, suddenly, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Great Dao suddenly extended 1,000 meters forward.
“Pu!”
This sudden turn of events really made everyone who was waiting to see a joke spit out saliva.
Everyone looked at it blankly. There was only one thought in their hearts: This is absolutely impossible!
No matter how outstanding one’s talent was, it was absolutely impossible to achieve this step. However, the matter happened right in front of their eyes.
This scene completely overturned their world view and understanding.
The Great Dao instantly walked a thousand meters, and

“Puff!”
They spat out blood. Were their eyes deceiving them?
Had they advanced a thousand meters or expanded the distance by a thousand meters?
Gazing upon the expansive space resembling a miniature world of Great Dao, they were left utterly dumbfounded. Their shock was so profound that words failed them.
“What
 What cultivation realm could this senior possibly be in? An Imperial Emperor or a Heavenly King?”
“Regardless of their cultivation realm, they are beyond our league.”
“Haven’t you noticed that Lord Wutian hasn’t appeared? Could this person be Lord Wutian’s unrecognized offspring? Otherwise, why hasn’t Lord Wutian emerged yet?”
These individuals failed to observe that behind the Grand Heavenly Path, a Great Dao had shattered. The Void quivered, causing the hundreds of millions of miles around them to tremble mildly.
“Rumble!”
The heavens and the earth erupted, the continuous echoes of explosions resounding.
Were it not for Zhang Xuan’s powerful Great Dao, this scene might have left everyone paralyzed with fear.
This marked the fall of a Heavenly King!
Unfortunately, just before the phenomenon of Death Monarch Wutian’s demise was about to manifest, it was dispersed by Zhang Xuan’s orchestrated phenomenon.
A Heavenly King’s life had concluded in such a manner!



Inside the expanse of the Great Dao Space, Zhang Xuan moved forward at a deliberate pace. Considering the vast span of a thousand meters and his Great Dao being ten thousand meters wide, progress required cautious steps.
Consequently, every meter he advanced necessitated stabilizing the Great Dao Space before he could proceed with cultivation. This was vital, or else his strength would plummet dramatically.
Although the turbulent space stretched to a length of ten thousand meters, even advancing just a single meter held significant implications. Many Monarch Stage warriors only spanned a few meters in width and a thousand in length. Put differently, a chance cultivation attempt by Zhang Xuan could elevate an ordinary individual into an Imperial Emperor.
Hence, the stabilization of his Great Dao Space became paramount.
How many Monarch Stage experts had their paths obstructed by this challenge?
Some had dedicated their entire lifetimes in pursuit of it.
Witnessing Zhang Xuan’s successful dispatching of Death Monarch Wutian, Luhuang experienced a shock. Noticing Zhang Xuan’s initiation of cultivation, he craftily collected the corpse of Death Monarch Wutian.
This event held little importance to Zhang Xuan. Besides, knowing Luhuang’s disposition, it was plausible he intended to flaunt these corpses at best. Ultimately, Loong Linshuang reaped the rewards.
Upon stabilizing the Great Dao and opening his eyes, an unexpected voice echoed in Zhang Xuan’s mind.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement of stabilizing the Great Dao and attaining enlightenment in the Dao Heart of supernatural power.”
“Remarks: Stabilizing the Great Dao x10!”
Zhang Xuan momentarily found himself stunned. He contemplated, ‘The system’s behavior is truly enigmatic. I should withhold the reward for now. It’s best to wait until full stabilization is achieved before claiming it.’
