Chapter 721: The Fourth Great Tribulation of Annihilation, Origin of the Other Shore (4K)

This is the tribulation number born from the breakthrough of the Good Corpse Nine Nether Emperor Lord.

He must endure the resulting Great Tribulation of Annihilation; otherwise, this Good Corpse incarnation of the Other Shore level may not be preserved.

Seeing countless tribulations intensely concentrated in the depths of the void, his figure transformed into a stream of light, directly fleeing into the depths of the earth, then taking out the previously refined Qinglian Purification World Banner, setting up the Qinglian Purification World Grand Formation to protect himself, concealing part of the omen, and almost immediately after completing everything, a vast will of Great Annihilation descended from the depths of the silent void, enveloping him.

His true form and the Good Corpse Nine Nether Emperor Lord instantly vanished from the spot, his figure entangled by the will of Great Annihilation, entering the chaotic time-space within the projection of the Chaos Primal Sea.

Around him was entirely an ocean formed by chaotic qi, but in an instant, rolling forces of Great Annihilation, End of Dharma, and even Destruction emerged from the depths of the silent void, like sewage instantly polluting the entire chaotic ocean, while each seemed to possess its own will, rushing toward Zhang Jian's hundreds of apertures, even toward his eternal will, primordial spirit, and even his fortune.

This is completely different from the previous three Great Annihilation Tribulations.

Although the previous Great Annihilation without will was difficult to deal with, its spiritual awareness seemed more like a programmed setting, possessing a mechanical feel.

But now the will of Great Annihilation seems to have become completely 'alive'!

At this moment, in the depths of this silent time-space, Zhang Jian saw a terrifying special diagram appear in the depths of the chaotic time-space, which first drew a diagram resembling a Taiji diagram, like the origin will of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Only it was a Great Dao origin will polluted by the will of Great Annihilation.

With a thought, layers of azure divine light burst forth from Zhang Jian's body, and a phantom of a thirty-six-petal Chaos Qinglian condensed into form.

This was the Innate Divine Forbidden Dao Law Dao Heart Qinglian Mantra.

Forcibly condensed and displayed by his mighty primordial spirit power, it was an innate primordial source Dao law.

Not relying on the innate spiritual treasure, the third-grade Innate Creation Qinglian.

At the same time, he raised a finger toward the void above, and suddenly an boundless vortex appeared, the Godly Power of Revolving Creation was again displayed by him; this divine ability, renowned in myth and legend, erupted with shocking divine power in his hands, as vast vortices emerged from all directions, swallowing and refining all the rolling Great Annihilation qi, Destruction power, and End of Dharma power.

Even though within the Great Tribulation of Annihilation, the boundless will of Annihilation contained a part of the profound mysteries of the primordial source Dao law, it was still forcibly refined by him through the method of Revolving Creation.

"My true self, with you here, it seems I no longer need to act!"

At this moment, in the depths of Zhang Jian's Dao Fruit Auspicious Clouds, the voice of the Lord of Nine Nether, slightly smiling, came from within.

A hint of a smile appeared on Zhang Jian's face.

"I was just about to test what mysteries this fourth Great Tribulation of Annihilation holds!"

Boom—!

Yet, in the void above, countless wills of Great Annihilation again condensed, instantly gathering in the center of the Chaos Primal Source, gradually manifesting into a terrifying giant god of billions of zhang in height, his body radiating boundless Annihilation killing qi.

Extremely similar to the Destruction Giant God Zhang Jian encountered in the Infinite Earth's Depths space!

Of the same nature, its body was covered with the terrifying primordial source Dao principles of Annihilation, Destruction, End of Dharma, etc.; it was a being of the Other Shore level.

The will of Great Annihilation actually took form through this.

It seemed to have become a true deity.

He formed a seal with his hand, and behold, the entire Chaos Ocean suddenly surged, the killing light of the boundless Great Annihilation primordial source Dao patterns spread across the sky and earth, rushing toward Zhang Jian.

This space completely evolved into the Other Shore universe of the will of Great Annihilation.

At this moment, Zhang Jian felt killing intent filling all directions, fully able to comprehend the terrifying feeling of heavenly killing intent,

but his expression remained unchanged, he swept his wide sleeve, and a mixed-yellow divine light emerged from the void, forming into a Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane that covered the sky.

That crystalline Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane, under Zhang Jian's control, seemed like the birth of a true innate spiritual treasure, the Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane.

The primal earth power perfectly manifested most of the divine power of the Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane.

But in a moment, this Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane instantly became riddled with holes.

The primal earth qi on the Heaven and Great Earth Fetal Membrane was worn away in an instant, though Zhang Jian's figure had already vanished from the spot.

Countless killing lights fell, and the chaotic ocean of billions of millions of kilometers collapsed in the killing light, disintegrating into nothingness; moreover, all the heavenly and earthly great Dao principles were illuminated and manifested by the killing light, turning into a sieve, but the heavenly and earthly great Dao principles have strong restorative power, quickly recovering.

At the same time, the colossal Annihilation Giant God manifested a terrifying three-headed, six-armed dharma form around its body; one hand grasped the void, and a beam of gray-black divine light, like rushing thunder and extreme lightning, shot toward a direction.

This strike of boundless gray-black lightning surged like dragons and snakes in the void, rushing toward a direction.

Behind the Annihilation Giant God appeared a magnificent, terrifying dharma wheel in the form of dragons and snakes, and around its body, layers of Great Annihilation divine arts again condensed.

Only, in that direction, beams of diamond-like crystalline walls condensed from the void, blocking that gray-black spear, as well as the countless gray-black thunderbolts that followed.

Zhang Jian's figure emerged from within, his gaze sweeping toward the surrounding violently agitated Great Annihilation divine light, his eyebrows slightly raised.

He knew he had fallen into a passive state.

This is quite normal!

Although his Earth Emperor primal source is formidable, in terms of cultivation level, it is inferior to this Other Shore-level giant god formed by the will of Great Annihilation.

Zhang Jian could sense that the power displayed by this Annihilation deity was already not inferior to that of several Other Shore-level primordial ancestors he encountered in the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Those several Other Shore-level primordial ancestors should be the semblance of ordinary Dao Lords.

That is to say, the power of this Annihilation Giant God is roughly comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Lord, slightly stronger, but far weaker than a supreme Dao Lord.

With the identity of a three-turn great divine ability wielder, being able to wage a frontal war against such an existence already demonstrates his strength.

However, to fight and win, without relying on the Good Corpse, he would likely need to rely on the power of innate spiritual treasures.

After all, his Earth Emperor primal source qi is still weak, his primal source Dao fruit has not yet formed, being weaker than sourceless water and rootless wood, unable to sustain for long.

Innate spiritual treasures can then reduce the consumption of his Earth Emperor primal source qi.

Of course, if the Good Corpse Nine Nether Emperor Lord were to act, the situation would certainly be completely different.

But Zhang Jian now very much wants to know the true strength of his true self.

Where exactly does his ultimate limit lie!

Does he truly have the ability to slay Dao Lords across levels?

Boom—!

In the depths of the void, in an instant, boundless chaotic qi boiled up, only to see countless Great Annihilation qi mechanisms flashing in the distance, Destruction, and End of Dharma phenomena, finally a terrifying gray-black divine dragon with no beginning or end fiercely slapped toward Zhang Jian.

That terrifying divine power surged, as if wanting to shatter this chaotic time-space.

This is pure violent aesthetics, one force breaking myriad laws.

That Annihilation Giant God also seemed to sense Zhang Jian's weakness, forcing him into direct confrontation to wear down his primal source cultivation.

This is the helplessness of a great divine ability wielder; although he can also manifest primordial source Dao laws like an Other Shore-level powerhouse, he fundamentally cannot sustain the consumption.

Without the root source Dao fruit, it is also very difficult to recover.

Zhang Jian raised his head and glanced upward; above his head, the third-grade innate creation azure lotus radiated brilliantly, condensing into a third-grade innate lotus blossom perched atop his head, forcibly enduring that terrifying strike.

Countless grating, teeth-aching squeaking sounds echoed above his head, as one azure lotus after another arose and vanished.

Around Zhang Jian, surging eternal immortal light flowed into the depths of the third-grade innate creation azure lotus, supporting it so it would not fall.

This consumption is not small, but compared to the loss of root source qi, this is merely the lesser witch facing the greater witch.

A trace of root source qi merged into the Dao fruit's auspicious clouds, which was entirely sufficient for the innate creation azure lotus to withstand three or five strikes of root source Dao law.

Thus, the Dao cultivation he consumed by defending with an innate spiritual treasure was only one-third, or perhaps one-fifth, of what would be consumed by defending with root source Dao law.

In other words, by sheltering himself with an innate spiritual treasure, the duration he could sustain was greatly extended, and his own burden was greatly reduced.

This is the advantage of an innate spiritual treasure.

Not to mention beheading corpses, suppressing qi fortune, and so on.

It is no wonder that many Daozun of the Jin Yuan Tian Realm have thus become frenzied.

The wondrous uses of innate spiritual treasures are too many.

And at the same time, the destruction giant god's additionally prepared multiple measures came one after another.

Streams of gray-black radiance emerged from the other arms of the destruction giant god, either as spears again or transformed into colossal axes that descended from above.

Combined root source Dao laws, a point of destruction, the layered azure radiance condensed from the third-grade azure lotus atop his head continuously shattered.

It appeared to be swaying and on the verge of collapse.

This was Zhang Jian's first time directly confronting the killing methods of a shore-level mighty being, and responding to it inevitably left him somewhat flustered.

But he adapted quickly; at this moment, in the dark depths, another intangible secret method coalesced into an intangible force, which, through the divine light connected to his qi mechanism, swept toward his primordial spirit.

That force was extraordinarily gloomy; Zhang Jian seemed to see within it billions of rebirths amidst destruction, annihilation, and the degenerate age, ultimately forming a terrifying malevolent thought that came toward his pure and lucid primordial spirit.

"My true self, it seems you still cannot fully block it; why not let me lend you a hand?"

At this moment, deep within the Dao fruit's auspicious clouds, the Nine Nether Emperor's cold, slightly smiling voice came.

"Just a small trick!"

Zhang Jian's face gave a cold snort.

After the Nine Nether Emperor took form, it is unknown which trait he inherited, but he became talkative and nagging.

At this moment, a path of blazing divine light burst forth from the depths of his brow, infinite light surging out, instantly dispelling the all-encompassing malevolent thought.

This was the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Nine Revolutions Vastly Bright Golden Lamp.

The two formidable concepts of 【Light】 and 【Vast Brightness】 erupted from within, suddenly cleansing the vast destruction phenomena deep in this chaotic spacetime, and infinite light followed this intangible curse secret method, reflecting onto the destruction giant god's great destruction will.

Far off, the destruction giant god condensed from the Dao origin totem let out a painful roar; a path of intense divine light burst from the depths of his brow, causing the great destruction dragon-snake treasure wheels circulating around him to become faintly disordered.

Zhang Jian seized the opportunity; the innate Four Symbols divine needles emerged from deep within his palm, and in an instant, the Four Symbols united into a four-colored divine light that pierced through the destruction giant god's head, severely damaging the great destruction will within.

The four-colored divine light evolved into the Four Symbols destruction spirits, which continuously destroyed the origin of the great destruction will.

However, due to their similar attributes, although the Four Symbols destruction spirits had penetrated deep into the great destruction will, they could not eradicate it.

At this moment, the destruction giant god, like a true god, roared, suppressing part of the great destruction will with the Four Symbols destruction spirits; behind him, his six other arms formed seals, and the vast destruction dragon-snake treasure wheels behind him rotated, suddenly collapsing and transforming into a ring-shaped divine light that dispersed from around him.

This is a large-area field-control type root source Dao law.

It also creates time for him to suppress injuries and restore combat power, preventing Zhang Jian from seizing this opportunity to attack his weak point.

This destruction giant god gave Zhang Jian the feeling not of a dead object, but of an extremely exalted shore-level Daozun.

The only possible difference might be the lack of acquired spiritual treasures, or perhaps innate spiritual treasures.

Yet, possessing the home-field advantage, he could compensate for this.

Zhang Jian knew that he must slay this destruction giant god condensed from the great destruction will in order to survive this fourth great destruction calamity.

The ring-shaped divine light broke through space and came; Zhang Jian's expression remained unchanged, a flash of fierce color passed through the depths of his eyes, and from deep within the Earth Emperor's Golden Canon, a stream of light emerged around his body, purple-yellow dragon-shaped radiance bursting forth.

This was the Earth Emperor's root source.

The Earth Emperor's root source, besides this, also had numerous illusory root source qi phantoms emerging from behind him, numbering nearly a thousand.

Streams of illusory root source light flowed in perfect harmony into his innate root source Dao law, the Mountains and Rivers Altar Map, the light unfolding; within, it seemed that boundless universes arose and perished, endless mountains, rivers, and lands condensed from within, and in an instant, it easily shattered the ring-shaped flowing light, transforming it into a purple-yellow divine light pillar that pierced through the destruction giant god's true body.

Such an omen bears some resemblance to the Divine Emperor of the Scarlet Chamber.

The power of the myriad mountains and rivers, in Zhang Jian's hands, is as light as nothing!

The Nine Nether Emperor also looked somewhat astonished.

Zhang Jian's display of root source Dao law usage is now no inferior to that of true Daozun.

At this moment, purple-yellow dragon-shaped radiance flowed around Zhang Jian's body; in an instant, it submerged vast expanses of chaotic spacetime, manifesting as a grand Mountains and Rivers Altar Map.

Zhang Jian seized the opportunity, directly unfolding the Mountains and Rivers Altar Map, enveloping the near-collapse destruction giant god within it.

Beneath the dimmed qi mechanism of the destruction giant god, he still roared toward heaven, striving to condense his destruction true body, but within the Mountains and Rivers Altar Map, streams of root source qi condensed into various root source Dao laws, covering heaven and earth as they came toward the destruction giant god, and in an instant, his true body was utterly torn apart.

Streams of grand root source Dao laws jointly cast, under Zhang Jian's remote control, gradually cleared and refined the dispersed great destruction will.

As the great destruction will was refined to purity, at the site of the destruction giant god's collapse, a grand, vast illusory imprint emerged from within, namely a towering, terrifying figure clad in black robes; his gaze lifted, seeming to bear some divine grace, then moments later collapsing and dispersing like wind and sand.

Zhang Jian slightly furrowed his brow; this was the imprint left by a shore-level mighty being in the depths of the chaotic primordial sea.

It should be the imprint left by a Daozun who cultivated the destruction Dao, or perhaps the annihilation Dao.

Clearly, the great destruction will of this fourth great destruction calamity summoned forth the imprint of this mighty being after his fall, thereby forming the tribulation number of the fourth great destruction calamity.

At this moment, as the great destruction qi, annihilation qi, and degenerate age qi from the depths of chaotic spacetime dissipated cleanly, Zhang Jian felt a strong domineering repulsion, and his connection to the real world once again surfaced.

He glanced at this mysterious spacetime, his form flickered, and he instantly vanished from within.

Upon reappearing, he was once again present in the underground space.

He glanced around, with a wave of his hand he stored away the six-faced azure lotus purifying world banner, his form becoming a stream of light as he departed this place.

In the depths of the void, Zhang Jian's face now bore a deep, intense smile.

Having endured this destruction great calamity, although his true body had not broken through, his strength had surged.

Regarding his own formidable Dao cultivation, he finally found a place for himself.

It turned out that, without realizing it, he had already become no weaker than an ordinary Dao Venerable.

If he added the benevolent corpse incarnation he had just severed, dealing with an ordinary Dao Venerable would absolutely pose no problem.

With this realization, Zhang Jian felt even more confident in his actions.

Zhang Jian prepared to continue searching for the Heavenly Emperor's relics.

Innate spiritual treasures — no one ever has too many.

Among his three corpses now, the benevolent and malevolent corpses each have a vessel, but he still lacks an innate spiritual treasure to serve as a vessel for the obsessive corpse.

He needs to make plans early.
