Chapter 532: The Rise and Fall of the Great Realm, Great Destruction (4K)

Zhang Jian casually played with it for a moment, sensing that this stone lotus contained a strange divine power, which, once activated, would unleash tremendous might.

However, since it was a treasure specifically requested by the 'Qingxia Dao Jun,' Zhang Jian did not attempt to refine it.

At this moment, he directed his gaze toward a large pile of treasures pulled from the void.

Numerous treasures glowed with immortal light, among which were many immortal treasures of immense power.

For example, that immortal mirror.

When the green toad used the immortal mirror to spy on him, it was extremely subtle; had it not been for his improved foundation and heightened innate primordial spirit after his leg enhancement, he might not have detected it at all.

Even a true immortal spying on a Taiyi Heavenly Immortal, or even a Heavenly Emperor holding supreme authority, could not trigger his perception—this alone shows the extraordinary nature of that immortal mirror.

It is likely an eternal immortal treasure.

Besides this, several other treasures deserve attention: one is a lamp with a jade-green base and lotus-petal petals.

Another is a nine-story immortal tower, entirely golden in color and extraordinarily heavy.

Then there is a shield covered in azure lotus Dao patterns.

Lastly, there is a small jade purification vase, within which immortal light flows.

These several immortal treasures all radiate extraordinary divine energy.

They are all eternal-grade immortal treasures; as for their exact grade, Zhang Jian, having not yet refined them, remains unaware for now.

Apart from the five eternal immortal treasures, there are also some miscellaneous items, such as a clear-toned immortal bell, a verdant bovine-hair needle flashing with immortal light, and a banner with surging water-light.

These are all fourth- and fifth-grade immortal treasures.

Anything personally collected by the Lotus King Ancestor before his fall must be extraordinary.

Zhang Jian glanced at the Lotus Fairy nearby, and with a wave of his hand, tossed the immortal bell and the verdant bovine-hair needle to her.

"Lotus Fairy Daoist, whoever sees it gets a share!"

"Does the little immortal get one too?"

At this moment, the Lotus Fairy wore an expression of sighing; upon hearing this, her beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Zhang Jian nodded slightly.

Had the Lotus Fairy not offered him the method to activate the Nine Heavens Azure Lotus Diagram and proactively revealed its inner secret, he might not have easily found the Lotus King's traces.

Pleased with the Lotus Fairy's prudence, Zhang Jian naturally felt great satisfaction and was willing to give her two treasures.

"My treasure!"

At this moment, the green toad wore a face full of sorrow, heartbroken to the point of anguish, even surpassing its inner fear.

Zhang Jian fixed his gaze upon this old toad.

This green toad had devoured numerous immortal medicines, spiritual roots, and even immortal lotuses within the Lotus King's traces; its bloodline had already mutated, but unfortunately, this old toad did not know how to utilize it, barely managing to cultivate into a true immortal form by relying on the immortal medicines within its body.

Seeing him still grieving, oblivious to life and death, Zhang Jian curled the corner of his mouth slightly and, with a wave of his hand, seized it into the River and Mountain State Diagram.

Such bloodline power, if slaughtered, would be wasteful; perhaps it could be left to the Zhang clan of Zhou Mountain Realm as a driven guardian divine beast for the household.

After gathering numerous treasures, Zhang Jian again turned his gaze to the Nine-Eyed Chaos Creation Divine Spring beneath the Lotus King's traces.

The Jade Liuli Realm is about to perish; leaving this object here is meaningless, so Zhang Jian now activates the Earth God Ability.

He raises one palm, makes a slight empty grasp in the void, and suddenly hears from deep within the immortal island a continuous, crackling sound of earth veins rupturing.

In an instant, a large ring of earth vein fissures appears around the Nine-Eyed Chaos Creation Divine Spring; the entire divine spring, along with the land, is seized by Zhang Jian's wave of his hand, instantly shrinking continuously and falling into the depths of his palm.

Before the immortal palace, where it once stood, now remains a huge pit.

The Lotus Fairy gazes at the huge pit, slightly pursing her lips.

That was the ancestral land of the Qinglian Clan.

But now it has been completely packed up and taken away!

She can only secretly lament her insufficient cultivation.

After thoroughly ransacking the Lotus King's traces, Zhang Jian flies out with the Lotus Fairy.

At the same time, rushing toward Tianlian Peak, Zhang Jian prepares to take away from this realm all transportable humans, cultivators, and relic resources of the Jade Liuli Realm.

At this moment, inside and outside the realm, in the immortal cities governed by all major immortal sects and Dao traditions, enormous flying vessels are docked; all major immortal sects and Dao traditions are fully withdrawing their disciples from various regions, and also bringing along some mortals from around the immortal cities.

To speed up the process, some resources that cannot be taken—such as mineral veins, spiritual springs, and spiritual mountains—must be abandoned.

All that can be seen are streaks of escape light flying swiftly toward the direction of Tianlian Sect.

Zhang Jian has given all major immortal sects and Dao traditions only ten days to withdraw.

On the road, they will consume more than half the time, leaving very limited time for their external withdrawal.

At this moment, after flying out of the traces, he also activates the power of the River and Mountain State Diagram to the utmost, attempting to collect as many commoners from the cities as possible.

His River and Mountain State Diagram forms its own realm; collecting all living beings of a realm is no problem.

His escape light speed is extremely fast, and his efficiency far surpasses that of all major immortal sects.

At the same time, Zhang Jian also uses the authority of the Nine Nether Emperor to simultaneously open the Yin-Yang passage, advancing the transfer of a portion of wandering souls into the Netherworld's Underworld.

Ten days later, before Tianlian Peak.

At this moment, multiple heavenly altars stand around the area.

These heavenly altars and demonic altars are essentially the same in nature—both are external anchors.

However, they still differ from demonic altars.

Demonic altars are malignant tumors; once established, they endlessly consume the vitality and power of the realm, so their cost is also extremely high.

Heavenly altars are merely coordinate anchors, with no other function; thus, their cost is smaller—only requiring some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and a sufficiently cultivated great power, to forcibly open the heavenly gate.

At this moment, Zhang Jian stands in the air above the Heavenly Sect Square beneath Tianlian Peak.

Below, the immortal vessels of various major immortal sects and Dao traditions, or other flying treasures, are arriving one after another.

Leading the group are the four Heavenly Immortals, the Lotus Fairy, Tianningzi of the Tianxian Immortal Sect, Jihaidaoren of the Yuhai Immortal Sect, Tiankuishangren of the Wan beast Immortal Sect, and besides them, many immortals from various major immortal sects and Dao traditions, among whom are not lacking accomplished true immortals, star gods, heaven gods, and even star lords and god lords.

On the other side, there is also a portion of heretical, ghost, and demon Dao cultivators.

They were respectively led by the Yellow Element Daoist and the Bridal Robe Ghost King.

But Zhang Jian could see that this probably still did not occupy half of the Jade Liuli World's immortal sect lineages.

He feared that others were still watching, or perhaps they simply did not trust Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian could only silently pity them.

To be able to save so many immortal sect cultivators and common folk, he had already done his utmost.

Boom—

At this moment, a startling thunderclap suddenly roared from the heavens above; countless immortals turned their gazes skyward, only to see an ominous blood-red hue spreading across the distant horizon, and in the next instant, countless blood rains poured down from the sky.

Like the heavens weeping in sorrow.

The myriad immortals and gods, even the cultivators, fell utterly silent at this moment; all their worries, fears, and anxieties were overwhelmed, and they could not help but burst into tears.

They did not know why they felt such sorrow.

"The Void Calamity has arrived; heaven and earth shall perish!"

Zhang Jian, however, raised his head to gaze upon the network formed by the vast heavenly Dao laws.

The Jade Liuli Realm likewise possessed a three-layer network; though the first and second layers had suffered some damage, the affected area was not large, but the core third layer—countless strands of primordial qi—were being eroded by decaying calamity qi, and worse, terrifying demonic dao wills had at some unknown time penetrated deep into the heavenly Dao light wheel, now contending with it for dominance.

Those demonic wills knew they could not suppress the heavenly Dao will in the short term, yet they secretly shattered the central core of the heavenly Dao light wheel; countless light networks began to collapse at this moment.

This was like a row of dominoes falling: layer upon layer of primordial qi collapsed, dragging down the external second layer's dao qi network, the heavenly-earthly law network.

At this moment, the heavens and earth above seemed to lose balance; colossal stellar meteorites hanging overhead suddenly swayed gently, then in an instant plunged toward the earth.

Such a horrifying scene was as if heaven and earth were being buried entirely.

The myriad immortals and gods, even the cultivators, stared wide-eyed at this spectacle.

"We too should depart!"

At this moment, Zhang Jian's calm voice rang out amidst the roar of heaven and earth, unusually clear and pure; afterward, the immortals glanced over and saw a piercing purple-yellow divine light suddenly sweep across heaven and earth, lifting countless towered ships, immortal vessels, and even floating immortal cities and palaces, gourds, and all manner of spatial artifacts into the air, then plunging them into the Map of Mountains, Rivers, and State.

His form transformed into a streak of purple-yellow divine light, piercing through the descending meteor shower like a straight arrow tearing through part of the falling meteors, and instantly shot out beyond the heavens.

Yet the living beings upon the earth were now utterly panicked.

Boundless fear enveloped the land, affecting countless cultivators and even the watching immortals and gods.

These immortals and gods did not believe the apocalyptic calamity would surely come; some even thought it was a plot by an extraterritorial immortal god to capture everyone and plunder the world's wealth.

At this moment, witnessing such a tremendous change, they were instantly filled with regret upon being startled.

However, many high-ranking immortals were not overly worried; having achieved immortal god bodies, they possessed sufficient power to protect their disciples and flee the Jade Liuli Realm.

But they soon regretted this thought.

Only after the earth-shattering roar did the continent begin to disintegrate under countless stars and meteorites; then the five phases and yin-yang inverted, and the foundations of spacetime began to shatter.

The entire heaven and earth were being torn apart and pierced through at a visible speed by an invisible force field.

Even cultivators who had proven their primordial spirits and attained longevity could not withstand the rending of spacetime; streaks of flying light instantly dimmed and withered away.

At the moment spacetime shattered, heavenly-earthly spiritual mechanisms and countless great Dao laws fell into disorder, turning into unnecessary storms that began to sweep away all tangible things between heaven and earth.

The final remnant light of the Jade Liuli Realm was that piercing, heaven-spanning blood-red lament.

The booming thunder echoed through every inch of void between heaven and earth.

Though those high-ranking immortals relied on their immortal treasures to dodge here and there, in this heavenly-earthly great collapse, they still appeared as insignificant as a grain of sand in the vast sea.

After Zhang Jian's form pierced beyond the heavens, it instantly transformed into a streak of purple-yellow divine light flying toward the realm's exterior.

Yet as he flew toward the outside, Zhang Jian's heart stirred; he saw a muffled thunder suddenly rumble from deep within heaven and earth, and a magnificent flow of light flew out from within, landing in his hand.

At the same time, the origin of the Jade Liuli Realm within him also surged into that flowing light in his hand.

"This is..."

A strange look appeared in Zhang Jian's eyes; he stared in astonishment at this sight.

The treasure had come to him of its own accord; this was his first time receiving such treatment spoken of in myth and legend.

It seemed his actions in the Jade Liuli Realm had not been in vain.

Without pausing to carefully examine the treasure that had suddenly flown into his hand, he turned his head to look back.

In the gradually turbid, collapsing heaven and earth, numerous gates nonetheless emerged from within; one after another, colossal demon realm gates solidified from the void, beginning to draw upon the power of the Abyssal Demon Realm's mighty beings, and began to fully erode the Jade Liuli Realm, now bereft of resistance.

Meanwhile, on the other side, ten or so beams of white light shot up from the turbid blood-red haze.

These were the gates of the Heavenly Realm.

In the void, the power of the Southern Dipper stars converging with the Nine Yang Emperor and the Northern Dipper stars had already shattered the invading demon horde of the Abyssal Demon Realm; all manner of extermination artifacts were fully prepared.

At this moment, gazing upon the additional ten or so beams of heavenly light, the immortals and gods were slightly surprised; the Southern Dipper Star Lord Fu Yuan's eyes brightened, and he cried out loudly.

"O Star Lords, O Supreme Gods, since a fellow Daoist has opened the heavenly realm gates for us, we too shall immediately pour forth our power, swiftly accomplish the Heavenly Purge Mandate, lest the origin of the Jade Liuli Realm continue to drain away and fall into the hands of the demon horde!"

The immortals and gods all nodded in agreement; they naturally could not stand by while demon leaders used this to increase their cultivation.

At this moment, streaks of starlight suddenly burst forth from around the stars, linking to the ancient stars deep in the heavenly void.

Myriad strands of starlight descended from the void.

"Southern Dipper governs life, Fixed Star Divine Needle, Realm-Splitting Cone, Tribulation-Treasure Lotus, World-Purifying Vessel, Reincarnation Grindstone!"

"Northern Dipper governs death, Stellar Banner, Heavenly Circuit Disk, Fixed Primordial Spirit Thunder, Nine Abyssal Void-Splitting Sword, World-Annihilation Wheel!"

In the void, as the Southern Dipper stars and Northern Dipper stars employed large-scale world-destroying immortal arts, countless heavenly soldiers and generals formed around the stars, simultaneously shaping two magnificent divine formations.

Ten or so extraordinarily magnificent immortal weapons and divine blades were summoned by tearing through the void.

Behold: the Fixed Star Divine Needle, Realm-Splitting Cone, Stellar Banner, Heavenly Circuit Disk, and Fixed Primordial Spirit Thunder each radiated a magnificent aura of destroying heaven and earth's great laws; as the divine weapons descended, the demonic qi vortex formed by the Jade Liuli Realm was instantly torn apart, and heaven and earth were dismembered by several terrifying divine weapons.

Yet although heaven and earth were dismembered, each fragment, under the divine power of the weapons, remained remarkably intact.

Like a butcher dissecting an ox without damaging the organs.

Subsequently, several more divine weapons and artifacts descended: the Tribulation-Treasure Lotus gathered countless calamity qi; the World-Purifying Vessel suppressed numerous demon realm gates; the Reincarnation Grindstone absorbed the remaining myriad beings, including many high-ranking immortals and gods, utterly grinding away their true forms and imprinting pure soul seals into the netherworld's underworld.

Meanwhile, the Nine Abyssal Void-Splitting Sword and World-Annihilation Wheel directly ground away the demonic-tainted origin of the Jade Liuli Realm, and furthermore swept up the shattered remnants of heaven and earth's origin……

In an instant, the entire Jade Liuli Realm was torn apart by numerous divine weapons, and efficiently and swiftly completed the purification, without the slightest delay.

On the contrary, the strong ones behind the many demon realm gates of the Black Abyss Demon Realm were not united; at this moment, they merely seized a portion of the 'Origin Residue' and could only quickly seal the outer demon gates, lest they be attacked by the combined forces of the stars and bring disaster upon their main bodies.

Only as a great realm, the feast of numerous immortals and gods had just begun.

Only seen, in the shattered heaven-and-earth modules, numerous strange and wondrous divine objects flew out from within, including spirit veins, mineral veins, stars, immortal abode relics, and the scattered heavenly and earthly Dao qi and primordial qi fragments in the void.

Countless streams of light flew out from within.

Even Zhang Jian, who had just flown out of the realm, seeing this scene, could not help but have his eyes light up.
