Chapter 694: Dynastic Revolution, Seizing the Nine Netherworlds (4K)

At the cost of destroying his own Dao Fruit, he erupted with dozens of times, even up to a hundred times, his power.

Dark red torrents of destruction burst forth from where his primordial true form had vanished.

The entire South Ming Divine Continent, spanning billions of billions of square kilometers, seemed to tremble slightly at this moment; Zhang Jian felt the earth wailing, as if it would completely collapse in the next instant, buried as a sacrifice for this ancestral destruction secret art.

At the same time, Zhang Jian was also slightly astonished by the resoluteness of this Ancestor of Destruction.

His stepping into self-destruction was certainly not merely mutual annihilation.

Given Zhang Jian's understanding of the rules of the Great Dao of Destruction, the God of Destruction is the most difficult existence to destroy.

Because they themselves wield destruction, destruction is merely their shell, and they can always be reborn from destruction at any moment.

But raising his head, Zhang Jian's expression changed slightly.

Only seen, those clusters of dark red destruction suns, expanding continuously from within and without, froze in an instant.

Beneath the giant palm, that terrifying destruction sun was merely pinched in the giant palm's hand, countless magnificent purple qi divine lights flowing forth from within, wondrous and vast, yet tightly grasping the dark red destruction sun; after a moment of kneading, it transformed into a dark red crystalline light cluster.

"Return it to you!"

Then, with a flick of his finger, he shot that dark red crystalline light cluster into the depths of the void.

Only seen, a deity whose entire body was covered in destruction golden light instantly manifested from the depths of the void, and in its frenzied eyes, a hint of fear appeared for the first time.

Boom—!

In an instant, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar echoed forth from within, dark red destruction divine light burst forth from the void, that splendid hue carrying the divine power to destroy the heavens, the void, dimensions, and even the heavenly earth Great Dao, directly piercing a portion of the world's barrier.

The light waves condensed in the void, yet were blocked by layer upon layer of faint purple qi, never falling to the earth, merely shooting upward toward the azure heavens.

Merely pierced through his true form by the dark red destruction light wave, that destruction golden light did not completely fall, but instead transformed into a streak of golden light that instantly merged into the destruction Great Dao rules deep within the Celestial Spirit Realm, merging with the destruction Great Dao rules, thereby maintaining his destruction Dao Fruit from collapsing.

Merely, his destruction Dao Fruit had also already been covered with a layer of terrifying Dao scars, as if strands upon strands of supreme, noble purple qi from the void had locked onto the imprint of his true spirit.

The Purple Micro Emperor gazed upon this scene, his expression indifferent.

"Even if you can harmonize with the Great Dao laws, so what? Even if you merge with the destruction Great Dao rules in the Chaos Primal Source Ocean, this Sovereign can still slay you!"

"Go!"

As a layer of purple divine light flowed around his hand, it instantly sank into the deep, dark void, wherever the streak of purple sword light passed.

Boom—!

Deep within the Celestial Spirit Realm, came a voice of abnormal unwilling rage, yet seen, the entire Celestial Spirit Realm's heavenly earth Great Dao laws permanently collapsed and were lost at this moment.

Not only the destruction primordial spirit imprints in the Celestial Spirit Realm, deep within Zhang Jian's brow, the Ultimate Great Brightness Cloud burst forth; under the 'Primordial Perspective,' many hidden hands left by the God of Destruction in extraterritorial spacetime, their qi mechanisms, were instantly severed and exterminated by the sword light.

The sword light caused this God of Destruction to completely lose the possibility of returning.

Boom—!

At the same time, above the azure heavens, myriad thunderous roars echoed, a brand-new destruction Great Dao law was regenerated in the deep, dark void of the Celestial Spirit Realm, re-integrated into the Celestial Spirit Realm, yet this destruction Great Dao law had no relation whatsoever to the destruction god's gray diagram.

Even the ordinary deities of the Celestial Spirit Realm would not recall that there still existed such a powerhouse as the destruction god's gray diagram between heaven and earth.

"Is this the strength of the Six Sovereign Heavenly Emperors?"

Zhang Jian secretly sighed in his heart.

He likewise could not comprehend this kind of ability.

Just how is this cultivated?

Even if the Great Dao rules are perfected, having stepped into the realm of the Other Shore, indeed formidable, but it should not be this terrifying.

A thread of intense curiosity arose in Zhang Jian's heart, and his burning thirst for knowledge was also stirred.

At this moment, as he reached out to slay two Dao Venerable-level ancestors of the Celestial Spirit Realm, the Purple Micro Emperor's expression remained unmoving, merely his indifferent gaze sweeping over Zhang Jian and the various Ancient Star Sovereigns whose eyes glittered with intense starlight divine light, he said calmly.

"Next, I will deal with those ancient ancestors above the azure heavens; you all want to come along with me?!"

The Southern Dipper Star Sovereign, Fu Yuan Dao.

"To be able to personally witness Purple Micro Majesty's move, we seek nothing more; we naturally must follow Your Majesty!"

The Celestial Pillar Star Sovereign, the Literary Star Sovereign, the Martial Star Sovereign, the Calculating Star Sovereign, and others likewise all clasped their hands in unison.

"We wish to follow Your Majesty in sweeping clean the Celestial Spirit Realm!"

Beside him, Zhang Jian also smiled and said.

"In such a lively affair, this minor official naturally would not miss it!"

The Purple Micro Emperor nodded slightly, immediately transforming his form into a streak of purple starlight, and directly headed straight for the old nest of the Divine Dynasty Alliance to slaughter.

On the spot, Zhang Jian did not hastily follow along to watch the spectacle, but instead summoned the Nine Provinces Ancestral God.

"Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the Nine Provinces Ancestral God's face was reverent, yet deep in his eyes lay intense shock.

Whether it was this Emperor facing two ancient ancestors alone single-handedly against Dao Venerable-level primordial ancestors, or the Purple Micro Emperor burying two primordial ancestors with a mere raise of his hand, both exceeded his imagination.

The ancient clan's faith, the culmination of the Celestial Spirit Realm's divine path, turned out to be this fragile.

Zhang Jian pondered for a moment and then said.

"Purple Micro Majesty's departure will surely dismantle the Divine Dynasty Alliance of the Celestial Spirit Realm, as well as the various ancient clans; if you have old acquaintances, or if you deem someone trustworthy, or if there are those who can be won over, you may contact them in advance!"

"The Celestial Spirit Realm is about to undergo a heavenly change, to be reorganized; if we can win over some strong individuals in advance, it will also benefit our subsequent distribution of interests!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Provinces Ancestral God immediately agreed.

Zhang Jian paused slightly and then said again.

"Furthermore, regarding the resurrection of the River Luo Fairy, you may also prepare in advance; when this Sovereign returns, it will be the time for resurrection!"

Zhang Jian's eyes flickered with a faint strange hue.

Naturally, he would not forget, this journey's most important destination.

He had risked his life to guard the Star Sacrificial Altar, not for the Heavenly Court's Dipper Division, but for the imminent acquisition of the Celestial Spirit Realm's Nine Netherworlds authority.

After a series of instructions, Zhang Jian's form transformed into a streak of flowing light, and immediately flew toward the main altar of the Divine Dynasty Alliance.

The Nine Provinces Ancestral God also immediately sprang into action, more so with joy.

This time, the great calamity of the human race in the Tianling Realm has finally passed; now comes the consideration of how to survive in the Tianling Realm after the upheaval, and to seize as many advantages as possible.

He heard that in many heavenly realms, the human race is the protagonist of one realm.

With the support of the Three Emperors' Heavenly Realm, and this human race's Earth Emperor elder backing them, they might just accomplish such a feat as well.

As the totem lord revered by the human race of this realm, he might just reach the state of those Dao Venerable-level ancestors.

When the River Luo Immortal Monarch is about to be resurrected, the Nine Provinces Ancestral Gods feel that his Dao heart has finally shown traces of vitality, and heaven and earth are once again filled with the drive to let him continue forward.

……

Dongli Divine Province, Nine Ancestors' Pure Land.

This place is located at the central region of Dongli Divine Province.

It is said that the Divine Dynasty Alliance was created by the original nine founding ancestors' alliance, hence this place is called the Nine Ancestors' Pure Land, and it is also to eternally commemorate those nine founding ancestors who jointly established the Divine Dynasty Alliance.

However, the nine ancestors of old have undergone repeated great calamities and internal strife, or external conquests, leaving only five founding ancestors remaining.

Yet the majesty of these five founding ancestors remains unchallengeable by other founding ancestors of the Tianling Realm.

The Divine Dynasty Alliance has relied on this to occupy one great fortune after another across countless eons.

Even a portion of ancient Dao Venerable-level founding ancestors cannot contend with it.

At this moment, the magnificent Nine Ancestors' Pure Land is filled with panic among the people.

Especially a portion of the ancient god founding ancestors have completely lost their composure; though many possess great divine power, they can see the fall of the two ancient Dao Venerable-level founding ancestors, the Mother of the Tree of Life and the Heart of Destruction.

Moreover, they can see a purple sun hanging high at noon, towering above the Tianling Realm, now seizing the fortune of the Tianling Realm and suppressing its heavenly dao radiance.

This purple great star shines a thousand to ten thousand times brighter than the sun and moon, dazzling and radiant.

The divine power of the Great Dao it emits causes even the star-substrate divine kingdoms to dim their brilliance at this moment, daring not to contend with it.

The vast Tianling Realm, suppressed by the power of a single god, is dark and lightless.

A portion of the founding ancestors feel fear arise in their hearts, wanting to flee, yet they sense they have long been locked onto by a terrifying divine power; any movement would mean certain death.

At this moment, they can only anxiously emerge from the Nine Ancestors' Pure Land, standing before the alliance's great gate, awaiting the descent of that terrifying Emperor!

Shortly after, boundless purple qi descends from the heavens above, the magnificent purple emperor star blazes forth, slowly drawn down from the firmament above, falling before the Nine Ancestors' Pure Land. The ancient clan powerhouses and myriad divinities gazing upon it see only that the purple sun is merely the natural radiance emanating from the terrifying Emperor's authority—like his throne, his stepping stone.

Magnificent divine power descends from heaven; at this moment, all gods within and without the Nine Ancestors' Pure Land feel as if standing before an abyss.

At this time, seven or eight star lords stand beside the Purple Micro Emperor, and upon seeing this, the Heavenly Liang Star Lord speaks in a deep voice.

"The Sea-Heaven Pass has been broken; are you ancient clan divinities willing to lead your peoples to abandon darkness and embrace the light, to surrender to my Heavenly Court, or prepare to die together with the founding ancestors? Today, the Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor of my Heavenly Court descends—this is your last chance!"

"Those who sincerely surrender to the Heavenly Court shall enjoy high positions and participate anew in establishing the new order of the Tianling Realm; those who are obstinate and spiritless shall be reduced to flying ashes immediately!"

The Heavenly Liang Star Lord was initially amiable, but by the end, his eyes already held severity.

He now wishes nothing more than to slay all the alien races of the Divine Dynasty Alliance cleanly, to avenge the many comrades who died in battle beyond the heavens, and the heavenly soldiers and generals, yet as a supreme god of the Heavenly Court, he also knows that indiscriminate slaughter cannot thoroughly solve the problem.

To seize this realm's great fortune, some recognition from discerning immortals and divinities is indispensable.

One ancient clan founding ancestor, upon hearing this, coldly snorted.

"Outer realm demons, do not dream of making me submit; even if..."

Before his words finished, the Purple Micro Emperor raised his hand, as if seizing this founding ancestor's throat; in an instant, the founding ancestor could make no sound. The next moment, a trace of fear appeared in the depths of his eyes; his very form, along with his founding ancestor Dao fruit and Dao Lord rank, all collapsed, burned to ashes by a terrifying divine power.

"Is there anyone else who steps forward?"

Faced with such a terrifying scene, an ancient clan powerhouse gritted his teeth, yet remained unafraid and stepped forward—only to be instantly stripped of all his cultivation by the Purple Micro Emperor's raised hand, reduced to dust.

Yet still, a portion of the ancient clan divinities remain.

Seeing the Tianling Realm about to fall into the hands of the extraterritorial Heavenly Court, they would rather die as sacrifices for it.

Upon seeing this, the seven or eight star lords' eyes also stirred somewhat.

Wherever one may be, there are loyal and righteous individuals.

It is only a pity that the object of their loyalty is too foolish; they actually provoked the Heavenly Court, went to support the anti-Qin strong rebels against the Heavenly Court—how could the Heavenly Court tolerate such?

Seeing one strong one after another perish, the remaining ancient clan divinities, regardless of their thoughts, whether not out of sincere surrender, changing allegiances, or merely a expedient measure, all bowed down in succession.

Seeing this, the Purple Micro Emperor said.

"Although you are the ruling powers of the Tianling Realm, I know most of you are kept in the dark, and only a portion of your founding ancestors colluded with the extraterritorial anti-Qin; I only execute the chief culprits, and as for the rest, if you sincerely repent, I and the Heavenly Court will not pursue further!"

"Many thanks, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining ancient clan divinities all bowed down, and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.

The powerhouses of the Divine Dynasty Alliance had just nearly been slain by one-third.

They did not wish to die so pointlessly.

At this moment, in the distant void, Zhang Jian also witnessed this scene, and could not help but secretly feel a sense of lament.

He had originally intended to seize the opportunity to win over a portion of the ancient clan divinities within the Tianling Realm, to strengthen the lineage of the Nanming Divine Province, but now it seems there is no room for maneuver left.

Boom—

At the same time, following a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar from beyond the heavens, Zhang Jian lifted his head to gaze into the deep, dark void.

At this moment, it seems as if the great Dao laws of the boundless heavens and earth are undergoing violent upheaval.

The heavenly dao of the Tianling Realm trembles violently.

Only see: above the firmament, a magnificent divine pool, in an instant, begins to slowly collapse; the outer layer of the great divine city disintegrates; above the firmament, a terrifying star-grind mill falls from the void, slowly descending into the depths of the Tianling Realm, while the Taiji Yin-Yang Dao Diagram on the outer layer of the divine city completely collapses at this moment.

Countless powerhouses of the Tianling Realm, along with the collapse of this ancient divine city, are directly ground to dust by that apocalyptic great mill.

That apocalyptic great mill is forged from a portion of the stellar essence used to destroy heaven and earth.

The stars of the heavens possess various affinities; the Heavenly Stars Great Array can combine these affinities to summon those terrifyingly supreme treasures from the depths of the Heavenly Court, to empower and bombard.

At this moment, that apocalyptic great mill truly possesses terrifying divine power capable of destroying everything.

However, at the moment of the divine city's collapse, a portion of the founding ancestors took advantage to break free from the Tianling Realm's domain, flying toward the extraterritorial lands; for this, they willingly abandoned their Dao Lord and Dao Venerable ranks, accumulated over countless ages.

Yet the future of these powerhouses remains utterly dark.

Around the Tianling Realm's domain, long ago, many Heavenly Court combat department powerhouses lay in wait, as well as a portion of extraterritorial demonic path powerhouses, and heterodox immortals and divinities, all waiting to take advantage.

In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian sensed that in the deep void, the authority of multiple heavenly Dao had lost its master at this moment, including the authority of the Nine Netherworlds.

He knew that at this time, the Ancestor of the Nether River, who held the authority of the Nine Netherworlds in the Tianling Realm, had probably fled.

But with the Ancestor of the Nether River fleeing, his opportunity had come.

At this moment, Zhang Jian did not go to contend with the other immortals and gods who had surged into this realm from above the firmament for other benefits; his form merely transformed into a stream of light as he headed toward the place where the authority of the Nine Netherworlds in the Tianling Realm was nurtured.

To him, this was the most important matter.

At the same time, he noticed that other immortals and gods were also heading in the direction of the Nether River.

His face curled into a cold smile.

He knew that seizing the authority of the Nine Netherworlds would probably still have to rely on himself.

Although the Purple Micro Emperor had promised to let him take the authority of the Nine Netherworlds himself, if it were seized by other immortals and gods, he feared the Purple Micro Emperor might not uphold justice for him.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his form directly crossed vast expanses of spacetime, entering the Nether River's domain first, while a beam of divine light plunged straight into the depths of the Nether River's space.

And almost simultaneously, several other beams of divine and immortal light followed closely behind.

Each manifested into an immortal god whose aura was extraordinarily tyrannical.

The several beams of divine light locked gazes, and in an instant, the atmosphere fell into an eerie stillness.
