Chapter 272: Quasi-Emperor Rivalry, Ancient Emperors Bleed

"For me, even the rules of the Ruthless Great Emperor and the Undying Emperor can be easily occupied, as long as I reach that level.

"After all, what condenses in the Zhetian Universe is the Heavenly Heart Imprint, not the so-called Dao Fruit of the Other Shore."

On Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit golden body, a portion of the rules flashing with Hun-tun Qi originated from the Ruthless Great Emperor.

And the other portion, flowing with Immortal Light and flickering with five-colored brilliance, originated from the Undying Emperor.

Zhang Xuan had never personally met the Ruthless Great Emperor or the Undying Emperor.

But thanks to the most unique Heavenly Tribulation of this world, plus the fact that Zhang Xuan is extremely stubborn, every time he undergoes tribulation, he engages in life-and-death struggles with one Ancient Emperor or Great Emperor after another.

With nearly infinite restorative medicinal pills and Immortal Substance, Zhang Xuan does not flinch at all amidst the Heavenly Tribulation; he simply meets them head-on.

Every time he has to deal with nine Great Emperors or, in other words, nine Ancient Emperors, and every time, Zhang Xuan grinds down a round of these many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors.

The rule imprints of these Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors have been branded onto him from his weakest period all the way to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

It can be said that in the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Zhang Xuan is a peerless figure who simultaneously possesses the imprints of many Great Emperors from throughout the ages.

Basically, the vast majority of the rules of the entire world have been imprinted into Zhang Xuan's Pangu Golden Body, and he can even manifest them to resonate with the heavens and the earth.

Originally, Zhang Xuan had a slight problem when practicing the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art to obtain authorization.

Now, after swallowing a wisp of Dugu Baitian's Origin, and with a large portion of it integrated into this world,

Zhang Xuan has changed from being loathed by the world to being liked, and using this part of his ability has become very easy.

The world itself is actively seeking to provide him with returns, actively wanting to push him into higher realms and levels.

At the same time, it is also the world that lets Zhang Xuan actively absorb that mysterious Origin, allowing a portion of that Origin to dissipate and feed back into the world.

Zhang Xuan can easily understand the logic of the world, but he does not reject it; he even likes it a little.

The cultivation method of the Zhetian world is to be independent of the entire world.

Especially to achieve the status of a Red Dust Immortal, one must strip oneself away from the entire world.

To become a self-contained entity, self-circulating, not happy for external things, not sad for oneself; the world may perish, but I shall not.

The method of the "Yi Shi Zhi Zun" (The Sovereign of One Era) is the opposite: to actively merge into the entire world, obtain the highest authority of the world, and become the controller of the world.

Similar to becoming an existence like the Heavenly Dao of the Shenmu World.

But it is much more precise and explicit in its control over the world than the Heavenly Dao of the Shenmu World.

Even the most subtle places in the world can be manipulated.

One can even reverse the Time River, travel up along the Time River, resurrect others at will, and change the past and future at will.

For Zhang Xuan, both paths can be chosen, both can be walked, and they can be used as references for each other.

He is currently walking both paths, and both are heading toward the peak.

Walking the path of the "Yi Shi Zhi Zun" in the Zhetian world, there is absolutely no one competing with Zhang Xuan, and it is incredibly smooth and fast to walk.

At the same time, he uses the Ruthless Great Emperor's Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art to quickly pass through the growth and development period, so smoothly that it makes one feel incredibly comfortable.

"This is differentiated competition; only in this way can one reach the end and become the strongest."

Zhang Xuan felt the entire world cheering for him; for the first time, he had an experience similar to that of a Holy Spirit.

Many doubts and problems, as long as they turned in his mind, the world seemed to be blessing him, allowing him to quickly obtain answers.

The world is urging him, as if silently telling him: hurry up and break through, hurry up and cultivate, hurry up and let that special and mysterious Origin within your body erupt once more.

Well, the world does not know the reason for the eruption of the mysterious Origin within Zhang Xuan's body.

But it can feel that every time Zhang Xuan breaks through, he needs to consume that strange Origin, which causes that strange Origin to flow out, and the world likes that Origin very much.

It actively helps Zhang Xuan improve his comprehension in a certain sense, which is just helping itself.

When Zhang Xuan learned this information from the many rules of the world and realized the vague feedback the world's Origin gave him, he was a bit dumbfounded.

"It is likely that the bodies of Dugu Baitian, the Demon Lord, and others contain the Origin belonging to the Heavenly Dao within the Shenmu World, and there are residual substances of the Inner Heaven and Earth..."

Zhang Xuan speculated in his heart.

The continuous strengthening of the Inner Heaven and Earth will cause the original world to continuously shrink.

There were originally six realms in the Shenmu World, but later, as there were more and more powerful beings, the Inner Heaven and Earth of a top-tier powerhouse could rival a world, so the original six realms shattered one after another.

The bodies that Dugu Baitian and others discarded must also contain the Origin of the world.

Zhang Xuan might not be able to absorb it all, and when he absorbs it, the part that flows out is also a very unique supplement for these worlds.

"This really was a lucky strike."

Zhang Xuan tried absorbing another small wisp of the Demon Lord's Origin, and then vast amounts of Essence and dense Immortal Substance dissipated.

Sure enough, a moment later, the world absorbed all of this Immortal Substance and strange Essence, and sent back a thought that felt slightly joyful.

Only a person like Zhang Xuan, whose cultivation of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and the Tathagata Palm has reached a very profound realm, could feel this special pulse transmitted to him by the world.

Then, in Zhang Xuan's strange feeling and gaze, on his primordial spirit, the many Dao Fruits that had not yet truly reached the Quasi-Emperor level, the rules originating from different Great Emperors, became a bit more complete.

This is the reward the world gave him.

It is also the reward obtained after Zhang Xuan actively communicated with the world.

"This is truly absurd!"

Zhang Xuan could not help but shake his head; deep in his heart, there was a very strange feeling and words that could not be spoken.

This part of the rule imprints was transmitted directly to him by the world.

Every Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor once had a Heavenly Heart Imprint; the Heavenly Heart Imprint was partially condensed by the Great Emperors themselves.

But a large part was also blessed by the help of the world; it can be said that the world stores the Heavenly Heart Imprints of all Ancient Emperors and Great Emperors.

And just now, when Zhang Xuan fed back to the world, the world also actively fed back a portion of these Ancient Emperors' and Great Emperors' Heavenly Heart Imprints to him.

Allowing Zhang Xuan's cultivation to also step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

What made Zhang Xuan even more speechless and raise his eyebrows was that the world even actively gave him a discount, with vague intentions fed back to inform him that he would have accumulation, but it would not be much.

Crack!

A brilliant bolt of lightning poured down from the firmament, and Black Emperor was given a huge fright, his fur standing on end all over his body.

Zhang Xuan did not make many movements, just waiting calmly; without much resistance, that bolt of lightning was naturally absorbed by his body.

Then, and then there was no then.

After a good while, Black Emperor walked over cautiously and asked curiously: "Senior, what happened just now? Why did a bolt of Quasi-Emperor level lightning strike down?"

"Have you made another breakthrough? But a Quasi-Emperor's Heavenly Tribulation should be earth-shattering; why was it just one bolt of lightning and so perfunctory?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head and did not say much.

That matter just now was quite embarrassing to talk about; he could not exactly say that his Dao practice and laws had also stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm just now.

From that moment on, he had truly and properly reached the level of a Quasi-Emperor.

But what was embarrassing was that every heaven-gifted talent of the same era must face the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation test, yet here at Zhang Xuan's place, the heavens directly slacked off for him.

Directly opening a back door, just going through the motions, striking down a Quasi-Emperor level lightning bolt to count as him having passed it.

Cultivation preparation sounds long, but in reality, the thought process was just in an instant.

Zhang Xuan was very speechless about it, but it was not easy to comment.

Just as Zhang Xuan was thinking, a magic artifact he carried with him vibrated, revealing a void.

"That Quasi-Emperor from Taichu Ancient Mine has come; prepare yourself, he has brought the Supreme Emperor Weapon of the Wanlong Emperor from back then from the Wanlong Nest."

Gai Jiuyou still did not appear in the revealed void; in that void appeared a young man with a pair of dragon horns on his head.

That young man was heroic and spirited, his demeanor calm and composed.

Hanging from his waist was a string of bells, which was the weapon that made the Wanlong Emperor famous throughout the world back then, a Supreme Emperor Weapon.

He headed all the way toward Purple Mountain, and all along the way, figures from the Ancient Race provided him with guidance; every figure was very serious and earnest.

Moreover, they were very respectful toward this Ancient Emperor's Son.

No one discovered that Gai Jiuyou was hidden in the void, broadcasting their progress the entire way.

When that descendant of the Wanlong Emperor, that Quasi-Emperor level figure, walked to the front of the Purple Mountain gate.

Gai Jiuyou's voice echoed faintly in the void opposite.

"Do you need us to interfere a little? Your current realm is not yet considered profound; you have only just stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm with your physical body..."

Speaking to this point was practically declaring the beginning of that person's misfortune.

A Great Saint Body who had become an Emperor through his physical body, and Gai Jiuyou who had achieved Alternative Enlightenment, were staring directly at this person.

It would be hard for the other party to have a good outcome; at the same time, Shijiamouni's voice also rang out beside Gai Jiuyou.

"If the benefactor is not confident, why not let me take action."

"This old Daoist can also take action; I imagine suppressing him is not difficult."

Zhang Xuan shook his head indifferently.

"No need for that, I will just wait for him to come here."

"Sharpening a sword for three years, the double edges have yet to be tested; today I show it to you, who has any injustice?"

Amidst the soft and melodic chanting, Purple Mountain suddenly vibrated, and the void in front of Zhang Xuan also vibrated slightly; Gai Jiuyou's voice came from within it.

"The other party is coming over; I will hide for now."

The magic artifact on Zhang Xuan's body vibrated slightly, and that void retracted, turning into a small speck of light and merging into it.

It was at this moment that the void in front suddenly vibrated, and a figure with a full head of black hair and dragon horns on his head rushed out from that void; the Wanlong Bell at his waist rang out with a clanging sound.

As soon as he rushed over, his gaze fixed firmly on Zhang Xuan standing in front of him.

"Who are you?"

Although it was a question, his entire aura and combat power surged at this moment, practically drowning the firmament.

Endless Emperor Qi permeated the entire heaven and earth; if this place were not a Forbidden Land within a Forbidden Land, the supreme Purple Mountain, an unspeakable disaster would have occurred.

If it were in other regions, the stars would have shattered, unable to resist.

Heaven and earth rumbled and vibrated, and that Quasi-Emperor level figure's Wanlong Bell was also responding, about to fully awaken.

In the past, Zhang Xuan would have felt uneasy and had various emotions.

But now, in a state similar to the Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus and similar to the Chaos Body, Zhang Xuan felt his body and mind were incomparably calm.

With just a slight exertion, he rushed into the God Forbidden Realm that is difficult to enter even in eternity.

Then, everything in the heaven and earth before him seemed to slow down in Zhang Xuan's eyes.

Silently and soundlessly, the Jie Secret and Soldier Secret among the Nine Secrets were activated simultaneously.

His already unimaginably powerful realm improved even further.

Then, before that Ancient Emperor's Son had truly exerted his strength, Zhang Xuan walked over in one step; the Xing Secret was activated, and he arrived before him in an instant.

The Wanlong Bell left behind by the Wanlong Emperor instinctively wanted to awaken, then was interfered with by the Soldier Secret and paused for a moment; it was this moment that formed the difference between heaven and earth.

A plain and unremarkable Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist was thrown out.

That Ancient Emperor's Son's hand had only been raised halfway at this time, and his Five Great Secret Realms were all glowing, but it was completely useless; he was directly pierced through the skull by Zhang Xuan's punch, and blood shot up ten thousand feet high.

Outside, countless people saw this scene; they had originally been cheering and dancing, but at this moment they all fell silent, as if their throats had been pinched, and they could not say a word.

The Wanlong Bell vibrated violently at this time, wanting to awaken autonomously, seemingly angered by Zhang Xuan's actions.

Zhang Xuan did not care too much; he backhanded a slap with clever force to strike the Wanlong Bell, and then the Wanlong Bell, amidst the shocked and uneasy gazes of countless people, flew out of Purple Mountain again.

It even carried a trace of the bewitching blood of the Ancient Emperor's Son.

And at this time, the scene inside Purple Mountain was already completely invisible.

In the scene that no one saw, the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art was activated, silently and soundlessly swallowing that entire body.

Zhang Xuan stood inside Purple Mountain, looked up and out, and shook his head slightly.

"At my level, I am basically approaching being invincible in heaven and on earth."

"I didn't expect to walk so fast; in such a short time, I have already reached such a level."

Zhang Xuan shook his head and sighed, but also had deep emotions.

At Zhang Xuan's waist, the magical artifact capable of communicating with Gai Jiuyou from a distance vibrated slightly, and Gai Jiuyou's somewhat unusual voice emanated from it.

"You have actually reached this step; this is truly too exaggerated."

"At first I felt it was abnormal, but now I even think you will attain the Dao before me; it is truly shocking and difficult to comprehend."

Zhang Xuan merely chuckled.

"There is still a very long distance to go; it is not that fast."

The two chatted as if taking a leisurely stroll, yet the outside world had already been stirred into a tempest.

A direct descendant of an Ancient Emperor, whose strength and realm had already reached the Quasi-Imperial domain, entered Purple Mountain just like that, carrying an Extreme Imperial Weapon.

The result was that they were killed by someone in just a moment, their blood splashing high into the air.

Even the Extreme Imperial Weapon was swatted away by someone with a single palm.

Such influence and shock are enough to make all eternity fall silent.
