C576 – The Person Who Broke the Situation
“Weng!”
“Weng!”
“Hum!”
Within the Void, a resonating hum permeated the air. The very fabric of heaven and earth quaked, causing ethereal silhouettes to manifest fleetingly. These phantom figures emerged one by one, only to dissolve into nothingness before the eyes of all existence.
In this moment, aside from the tremors reverberating through the cosmos and the ensuing silence that enveloped all, the sudden upheaval was so staggering that it seemed to make the world itself gawk in astonishment.
Ordinarily, encountering Death Monarch would necessitate a monumental effort, igniting excitement for days on end. Yet today, one Death Monarch after another met their end.
What was happening? What could possibly explain such an occurrence?
Rumors of an impending calamity had circulated for a while. Could this be the harbinger of that dreaded catastrophe?
The world’s boundary within Burial World quivered as if on the brink of collapse. Thunder roared, its clamor echoing across the expanse. Innumerable torrents of chaotic essence energy surged with increasing ferocity.
Chaotic essence energy scraped against the world’s boundary like glass etched by a knife, the resultant sound piercing to the bone.
Burial World succumbed to unending turmoil, severed from the fabric of the Void World.
“Tiangang Death Monarch, Disha Death Monarch, Sharp Sword Death Monarch, Dark Dragon Death Monarch…”
Beholding the fragmented Great Dao within the Void, Innocent Child’s countenance mirrored disbelief, beads of cold sweat dotting his back.
Luckily, he hadn’t made the journey. Had he done so, he feared that a phantom image of himself would now populate the Void.
A complex emotion swept over Innocent Child as he muttered, “The era of chaos has arrived!”
“However, my current rapport with Zhang Xuan, that enigmatic figure, may secure my survival in this trying time!”
Contemplating this and sensing the surging energy coursing through his veins, Innocent Child’s spirits lifted. His current power could be deemed the pinnacle among the Death Monarchs, approaching that of Death Monarch Wutian.
Even in the face of an impending catastrophe, his prospects of survival were exponentially higher than his peers’.
Additionally, his amicable relations with Yin Tianzi and his nascent affiliation with the enigmatic Zhang Xuan served as a double-layered insurance. In the dire days ahead, he would possess a supplementary lifeline amidst the turmoil.
……
Calming his mind, he built a small building.
Seated with his eyes closed, the young man abruptly opened them and regarded Burial World with a quizzical expression. In the next instant, a hint of uncertainty flickered across his gaze.
“What’s going on exactly? Why do I sense a tinge of unease?”
He produced a turtle shell and eight copper coins, initiating the turtle shell’s power. Instantly, enigmatic patterns illuminated the shell’s surface, and Taoist charms streamed forth. The divine runes seemed as if eight black tortoises were searching for something.
Yet, despite the movement of the eight black tortoises, they remained unable to detect anything. The young man’s brow furrowed, and with a wave of his hand, the eight copper coins levitated onto the back of the black tortoise.
The cosmos spun, while the sun and moon swapped places. In the young man’s grasp, the turtle shell and copper coins blossomed with vivid hues.
“BANG!”
Suddenly, just as the young man was on the verge of discovering something, the turtle shell and eight copper coins abruptly unleashed violent fluctuations before exploding.
The young man’s expression contorted drastically, his face contorting before he settled onto the deck chair with a displeased look.
“Who launched an attack? Why did they breach the Heavenly Dao?”
“The entire realm falls within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Axiom. So, who exactly has stepped beyond the bounds of the Heavenly Axiom?”
“It’s not Zhang Xuan. Who is it?”
“Could it be that the third person isn’t Zhang Xuan, but someone else?”
The young man frowned, then suddenly laughed.
“It’s fun, it’s fun. It seems like there’s one more person who can solve the problem. Things are getting more and more fun. That’s more like it.”
The young man’s expression relaxed. Then, he leisurely swayed the reclining chair as if nothing had happened.
……
Pangu Village.
The Void buzzed. The Great Dao within the Void vibrated, and a thick Taoist Charm spilled out from it.
“Wang Chuan is really good. No wonder he is the most suitable person to receive Zhang Xuan’s Refining Technique. He can already refine a Dao Weapon. I heard that this guy is going to launch an attack on a Supreme Grade Dao Weapon!”
Qiao Dangdang sighed. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that an Immortal Sovereign Stage could actually refine a Dao Weapon.
Zhang Changsheng nodded. “However, treasures are still worldly possessions. The right path is to improve one’s own strength. Old Qiao, look at Zhang Xuan. Does he still need any treasures?”
Qiao Dangdang was startled when he heard this. He glanced at Zhang Changsheng from the corner of his eyes. This guy was really awesome. How could he compare himself to Zhang Xuan?
What kind of strength did Zhang Xuan have? What kind of strength did he have? Did he not know in his heart?
Sensing the meaning in Qiao Dangdang’s eyes, Zhang Changsheng smiled faintly, “I always thought that the path of the sword was the strongest path in this world!”
Qiao Dangdang was speechless, “As long as you are happy!”
Who didn’t think that the Great Dao they comprehended was the best? Otherwise, they wouldn’t have walked so far on this path.
“Don’t doubt my words. Wang Chuan is the one who resembles me the most. If he wasn’t obsessed with the arts of refining, I would have taught him my Dao!”
Zhang Changsheng looked at Wang Chuan’s courtyard. At this moment, the power of the Great Dao was pouring down from the sky into the courtyard.
Upon hearing Zhang Changsheng’s words, Qiao Dangdang looked at him in astonishment. Zhang Changsheng wasn’t the kind of person who would talk big.
He didn’t expect Zhang Changsheng to have such a high evaluation of Wang Chuan.
One should know that amongst Zhang Xuan’s disciples, Guan Shengwu and Zhou Mingjun had the best aptitude, and they both had the strength of a late Imperial Emperor.
Chen Ming and the others weren’t much different from each other, and soon after, all of them had the strength of an early Imperial Emperor.
Compared to these people, Wang Chuan seemed too weak. Qiao Dangdang didn’t expect Zhang Changsheng to have such a high evaluation of the most inconspicuous Wang Chuan.
“Wang Chuan said that he had made some discoveries during this period of time. He also wanted to confirm the matter of forging this time. I’m very curious about what kind of discoveries this kid will make.”
“Alright, it’s about time. Wang Chuan should have finished refining my sword. I’ll go and take a look!” Zhang Changsheng said as he walked towards Wang Chuan’s courtyard.
Qiao Dangdang “…”
Fuck, didn’t you say that treasures are only worldly possessions?
In the end, he turned around and said that the Dao Weapon was refined for you.
Damn!
The Zhang family had few treasures!
Empty talk and empty boasts!
“Arrogant fool, who do you think you are? Begging for death!”
“Wang Chuan, watch out!”
Suddenly, Wu Jinghua’s alarmed cry resounded, followed by a dull thud.
“So it’s really you!”
“Thud!”
Within the Void, the Grand Path abruptly fractured. The cosmos swirled into chaos. The chaotic essence immediately spread from Wang Chuan’s courtyard.
Zhang Changsheng and Qiao Dangdang’s expressions immediately shifted. Something had befallen Wang Chuan.
In an instant, a figure tore through the Void, dashing out from Wang Chuan’s courtyard.
“It’s that black-clad man!”
“You’re asking for death!”
Qiao Dangdang and Zhang Changsheng both unleashed their full might.
Zhang Changsheng’s blade radiance surged forth.
This blade radiance directly traversed the Void, hinting at the passage of time itself. In the blink of an eye, it pierced the black figure.
What stunned all witnesses was the sudden vanishing of the black figure, as if it had never been there at all.
