Chapter 601

Mentioning this thousand years of hardship, Zihua Xianzi's expression changed.

Before, she always naively believed others could protect her.

After entering Fengwu Palace, Minhuaxianjun repeatedly made her feel the shift from hope to despair.

As Yongheng Tianjun said, in the end, only oneself can be relied upon.

"Zihua, think clearly—this could cost you your life. If you don't want to do this, no one can force you!"

In the distance, Minhuaxianjun's face was anxious, his expression toward Zhang Jian unusually angry.

Hearing his words, Zihua Xianzi instead set her resolve at this moment.

She glanced at Minhuaxianjun with some sarcasm.

"You always like to say these domineering words, making people feel at ease, but since being with you, my suffering has never lessened. These big words—keep them for yourself from now on!"

After a slight pause, Zihua Xianzi's gaze turned icy.

"From now on, I will never trust you again!"

"It's correct—only by mastering one's own power can one master fate. I don't want to be trampled underfoot, bullied at will, humiliated—this is enough!"

As her words fell, she turned straight toward Zhang Jian.

"Tianjun, what should I do next?"

A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Jian's mouth.

It's good that Zihua Xianzi has this realization.

It seems Minhuaxianjun has utterly disappointed Zihua Xianzi.

"It's simple: you just need to fly into the center of the Xuantian Baolun, use resonance power to temporarily control the Xuantian Wheel, gather those fragments back into the Xuantian Baolun, and it will temporarily recover. During this process, I will lend you my Dao cultivation and mana!"

"But your celestial immortal body might not withstand my vast Dao cultivation—this process will be extremely painful. Do you have the confidence to endure it?"

Zihua Xianzi's expression shifted slightly, instantly turning fierce, and she nodded.

"Tianjun, I can!"

She no longer paid attention to Minhuaxianjun's gaze, her form flying toward the massive Xuantian Baolun.

Seeing this, Minhuaxianjun moved to stop her, but Zhang Jian flashed to block him.

"Min-hua Daoist, don't make things difficult for me!"

A grand purple-gold immortal light flowed around Zhang Jian's body, firmly suppressing that crimson divine light, while simultaneously activating part of the Changsheng Fuzao's power, pinning Minhuaxianjun in place.

The majestic Tianjun's pressure flowed from the Changsheng Fuzao.

Not only Minhuaxianjun, but the several ancient gods and ancient immortals behind him were completely immobilized, their faces showing shock.

At this moment, veins bulged on Minhuaxianjun's forehead as his murderous gaze fixed on Zhang Jian.

"Do you know Zihua will die this way? She's only a celestial immortal!"

Facing Minhuaxianjun's erupting killing intent, Zhang Jian remained calm.

"Of course I know—as long as you don't disturb me, she won't die but will instead use the Xuantian Baolun's power to transform into an innate divine body!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian didn't prepare to act against Minhuaxianjun, merely waving his hand to send everyone flying a hundred zhang away.

At this moment, Zihua Xianzi flew down and gradually landed in the center of the broken Xuantian Baolun.

At this time, white immortal light flowed around the Xuantian Baolun, part of it shattered, as if infinite power were losing balance, turning violent and ravaging its body.

The Xuantian Wheel balances heaven and earth, harmonizes the Yin-Yang of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and can also harmonize the attribute conflicts among the thirty-three world-stabilizing divine artifacts.

In the thirty-three layers of the heavenly realms, this treasure possesses extremely important auxiliary profundity.

This treasure may also be the heavenly dao heavy artifact of the tenth heavenly layer, so its collapse would entail the destruction of the tenth heavenly layer's cosmic origin.

Zihua Xianzi entered it, and gradually a layer of pale purple light appeared around her, emanating from the depths of her primordial spirit origin, resonating with the broken Xuantian Baolun.

This power possesses an exceptionally high innate nature.

At this moment, Minhuaxianjun sensed this change and couldn't help but stop his actions.

That majestic heavenly realm origin power—he was not unfamiliar with it.

Fengwu Dijun and he both possess heavenly realm origin power, hence their honor as the Heavenly Human Royal Clan.

But at this moment, the heavenly realm origin power emanating from Zihua Xianzi's body even surpassed his.

In essence, it is even more unique than Fengwu Dijun's.

As if born from the spiritual essence of the thirty-three heavens' Great Dao.

Only her cultivation is somewhat weaker!

At this cultivation level, even if she obtained the Xuantian Baolun's control authority, she could not attach other treasure wheel fragments to recombine them.

But Zhang Jian had long anticipated this—he had left more than one Great Dao imprint on Zihua Xianzi.

As Zihua Xianzi felt strained, a faint voice sounded in her ear.

"Pay attention—I'm about to cast the spell!"

Instantly, she felt a majestic, boundless, indescribable power descend from the void above the heavens into her soul's depths. This immense divine power, vast and profound, made her feel as if all her orifices were being blasted by purple-gold immortal light, gradually beginning to crystallize.

This sensation of being blasted made her extremely terrified, but at this moment, another majestic green qi flow entered from another imprint on her soul into her hundred orifices, making her feel a coolness from the depths of her soul, all the intense pain easing.

This is Zhang Jian's innate creation green lotus-transformed innate creation spiritual light, sufficient to protect Zihua Xianzi's soul from being assimilated by his Dao cultivation or collapsing under unbearable burden.

Another strand of formless white light continuously overflowed from Zihua Xianzi's Niwan Palace, under this majestic stimulation, continually merging into her hundred orifices and even her soul.

Her soul, visible to the naked eye, took on a layer of sacred, holy light.

Pure and flawless, as if born innate.

This is the power of the heavenly realm origin.

Zhang Jian sensed this change and also revealed a hint of a smile.

Protected by the heavenly realm origin, Zihua Xianzi's endurance clearly surpassed imagination.

"The Ten Thousand Realms Spacetime Atlas—Spacetime Regression!"

He simply took control of Zihua Xianzi's body and directly executed this eternal-tier immortal technique.

The casting speed was merely slow.

After all, he had taken over a third party's body and needed to avoid damaging the host's body.

Only to see layer upon layer of invisible radiance emanating from Zihua Xianzi's entire body, in an instant like a torrent bursting forth, sweeping toward the falling fragments of the Xuantian Baolun.

The impact of the force from the River of Time and Space, yet saw fragments rapidly sucked back by the reversal of time and space, re-merging with the Xuantian Baolun.

Such a supreme treasure inherently possesses a degree of self-repair capability.

One only needs to master the Primordial Baolun, activate its power, and it will naturally draw the fragments back to reattach.

However, the soul unique to Zihua Xianzi within it is of crucial importance.

This is a crucial medium.

Only her celestial origin can mend the treasure's fissure while simultaneously driving the Xuantian Baolun's power to cooperate with the "Chart of Heavenly Times and Spaces"!

Under the immense magical power of Zhang Jian, fragments of the Xuantian Baolun were sucked back and subsequently reintegrated into the main body of the Xuantian Baolun.

As some fragments were replenished, the chaotic natural laws of the Tenth Heaven began to be repressed once more.

The shattered spacetime rifts gradually recovered.

Those several demon gods, facing Fengwu Dijun and the myriad sky sovereigns' encirclement, were already battered and bruised, and upon feeling the gradual recovery of the spacetime rift in the Tenth Heaven, immediately felt the pressure.

The demon god whose body swirled with cyan tornadoes, his azure face slightly changed, and he immediately roared at the nearby ancient demon sage and Daoist.

"Why don't you go destroy that realm-stabilizing divine artifact! Do you truly wish to die here?"

Upon hearing this, the bird-headed, human-bodied ancient demon sage's face darkened; he had wanted to retort, but after a slight displeasure, he flew into the void, heading toward the Xuantian Baolun.

Fengwu Dijun watched this scene, his expression sinking, he exploded in a shout, boundless heavenly fire surging around his body, transforming into a great circle of fiery suns like grapes, preparing to take flight and intercept that ancient demon sage.

Even facing four opponents at once, he held an absolute advantage.

It was not that his cultivation surpassed that of the other four great demons.

But these four great demons had been imprisoned for too long; their magical artifacts, divine abilities, and cultivation were severely diminished, amounting to less than one-tenth, unable to contend.

At this moment, seeing this, the cyan demon god stepped into the void, a vast and intricate chart emerging from behind him, instantly appearing above Fengwu Dijun's head, that terrifying law-divine radiance piercing the sun and moon, a cold voice descending.

"A foolish bird, dare to block our path! If not for your cultivation not being restored, ten of you would not be a match for this god!"

"You had better just stay put!"

Feeling the eruption of vast divine power, Fengwu Dijun dared not be careless, merely a cold smile appearing in his eyes.

"Ignorant demon god, do you not know that heroes do not boast of past courage? Now you are merely a captive!"

Yet he was still completely blocked in his retreat by this cyan-clad demon god.

Another demon god, his body flowing with countless golden lights, instantly transformed into a sword streak slashing forth; Fengwu Dijun could only divide his attention to respond, unable to act.

However, Fengwu Dijun knew that even if he could not act, these demon gods dared not dream of destroying the Xuantian Baolun's repair again.

At this moment, deep in the void, the Southeastern Heavenly Net suddenly appeared densely between heaven and earth, directly intercepting the two fleeing streaks of light in the void.

Boom—

Endless vast lightning leapt, accompanied by a manifestation of a vast divine shadow as if the cosmos itself had condensed.

"Do you dare to damage my divine artifact with your pitiful strength?"

Above the void, myriad thunderclouds surged, the Southern Pole Longevity Emperor gradually emerged from the void, he taking form as a figure clad in Southern Pole Imperial Robes, forehead full and prominent, a unique immortal deity.

Barely differing from the image of the Longevity Star.

In truth, the Longevity Star among the Three Stars is merely a manifestation of part of his divine authority.

At this moment, vast imperial Dao authority poured down from the void, bathed in endless thunderclouds, the bird-headed, human-bodied ancient demon sage instantly had his skin split and flesh torn, blood and meat flying.

Another Daoist's face turned horrified.

At this moment, seeing endless lightning descend, he suddenly screamed, pure and turbid qi flowing around his body, demonic qi shooting to the heavens, in an instant transforming into a taiji diagram of pure and turbid demonic qi evolution, blocking the divine thunder of the Gods' Heavens.

Southern Pole Longevity Emperor, also known by the divine title Jade Pure True King, oversees the Nine Palaces of Gods' Heavens, governs all spirits, and also commands the Gods' Heavens' myriad thunders.

Only to see vast, righteous thunderbolts like the righteous energy of humanity piercing through boundless ages, in an instant shattering that pure and turbid taiji diagram, piercing through the demonic shadows within, and suppressing them.

Indeed, with a mere gesture, he suppressed the two great ancient demon immortals between his five fingers.

This scene not only shocked the Wind God and Gold Source, the two great demon gods.

Fengwu Dijun himself could not help but change color slightly.

The power of the Six Heavenly Emperors is truly terrifying!

After casually repressing the two great demon immortals, his gaze instantly turned toward the two great ancient demon gods.

At this moment, he suddenly stirred, then gazed toward the horizon, a vast pure white axe light sweeping from the southeast upper sky toward the stars, directly locking onto a celestial domain.

That great axe erupted with boundless power, as if capable of cleaving the very source of the cosmos.

This is the supreme treasure of the ancient demon god Chitian.

The Ganqi Divine Axe, said to be a fragment of the heaven-splitting giant axe of the primordial divine giant Pangu who opened heaven and earth.

Southern Pole Longevity Emperor naturally could not allow him to strike the Southern Heavenly Domain, damaging the creation of the Central Heavenly Realm.

The Thirty-Three Heavens are the painstaking achievement of the Six Heavenly Emperors, and also their shared interest.

In his hand, a whisk appeared; upon the whisk, as if vast earth, water, wind, and fire powers stirred, intertwined, and suddenly transformed into four terrifying sword qi, which in an instant collided with the axe light.

The tremendous collision echoed before the heavenly domain, yet ultimately the vast axe light was still dissolved by the great sword wheel formed from the four sword qi.

Yet Southern Pole Longevity Emperor's face bore no smile, instead he furrowed his brows and spoke.

"I never imagined the exalted ancient war god Chitian would also be a rat!"

Only to see Fengwu Dijun's figure flung backward in the distance, while the forms of the ancient demon gods Wind God and Gold Source completely vanished, only to be swept up by a white light, in an instant fleeing beyond the Central Heavenly Realm.

A distant voice came.

"Do you take this god for a fool? You so many attack this god alone, yet this god cannot match your strength!"

Southern Pole Longevity Emperor heard this and coldly smiled.

"But do you think the Central Celestial Realm is a place you can come and go as you please?"

His figure silently vanished from the spot, while several streams of immense divine power had already pierced through time and space, appearing beyond the realm to block the headless war god.

The Thirty-Three Heavens are ultimately the foundation of the Heavenly Court.

Their own foundation.

They are not skilled at deploying them.

Now that they have left the Central Celestial Realm, Chitian will not be so carefree.

……

In place, Emperor Fengwu's expression froze; a white light appeared deep in his brow, and then with a tremendous boom, his true form suddenly exploded. From within, a golden phoenix whose entire body radiated the five-colored heavenly divine light was reborn from fire, though the white radiance deep in his brow remained, causing the five-colored divine light around his body to dim.

Emperor Fengwu's eyes held some shock and anger.

The terror of the war god Chitian simply surpassed his imagination—just a casual strike nearly split his soul apart.

Beneath the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel.

Zhang Jian's repair work, however, proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

Without interference from immortals or demons, the countless fragments of the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel scattered widely, flowing backward and merging into its main body, causing the divine light it emitted to gradually become complete.

Meanwhile, Zi Hua Xianzi remained throughout this process on the threshold between collapse and recovery of her immortal form, this pressure making her suffer immensely.

Yet she still held on.

As the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel recovered, a tremendous primordial force of heaven and earth thoroughly awakened around her, and she and the Xuan Tian Treasure Wheel seemed to merge into one.

The Thirty-Three Heavens divine artifact drew upon Zi Hua Xianzi's vast celestial primordial power to achieve spiritual completeness.

Zi Hua Xianzi likewise drew upon the power of the Thirty-Three Heavens' realm-stabilizing divine artifact to reforge her innate body.

Zhang Jian watched this scene and smiled faintly.

This matter turned out to be a fright without actual danger.
