Chapter 322: Immortal! Immortal! Immortal!

Supreme power flowed between heaven and earth; even the God Ruins seemed unable to withstand that force, trembling once.

The Flat Peach Tree, once mastered by Dou Zhan Sheng Huang, stood quietly within, casting down radiance.

A plump, succulent peach grew above it.

With Xianfen having set the example, the Supremes and Ancient Emperors within the God Ruins also feigned death, making no movement at all.

They could not fathom the thoughts of this supreme figure, yet they could feel that this supreme figure seemed to be giving back to this world.

They were shocked by the near-infinite energy within this figure's body, while also joyfully and silently savoring the changes occurring in heaven and earth.

They could calculate that if this supreme figure were to truly undergo Transforming into the Dao, heaven and earth could seemingly be elevated by a level.

Their lifespans would likely increase by five thousand to ten thousand years.

The entire world seemed to be truly moving toward the legendary Immortal Ancient Era and Luan Gu Era.

The hearts of many figures surged, difficult to restrain.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Xuan was increasingly indifferent; after looking over the God Ruins, he lifted his feet and walked to the Taichu Ancient Mine.

The Taichu Ancient Mine trembled slightly; after all, there were many Taigu Emperors inside.

But after the trembling, it quickly calmed, without stirring up any major waves.

After all, the strength and realm Zhang Xuan revealed were too terrifying.

Just now, the sublimation of that aura was enough to make people unable to bear it.

And what was even more shocking was that when Zhang Xuan walked to the Taichu Ancient Mine, heaven and earth naturally trembled, and a piece of Dao Tribulation Gold fell from the void, merging into the four-colored Immortal Gold tower above Zhang Xuan's head, making it a five-colored Immortal Gold tower.

Zhang Xuan looked up, thoughtful.

At this moment, after a small portion of the Small World merged into this world, he had already obtained most of the authority of this world and had become the child of fortune among the children of fortune.

He was even about to become the true master of heaven and earth.

His previous lingering thought was to forge a weapon that matched his own realm and strength, so heaven and earth took the initiative to send a piece of Dao Tribulation Gold before him.

This was absolutely an event that could shake the ages, a material that even a Great Emperor would have to spend immense energy and time to find.

Yet Zhang Xuan only had a thought, and heaven and earth naturally sent this material for crafting an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon before him.

This was a myth from time immemorial, unbelievable to speak of, yet it was successfully realized today.

"Having stayed in Beidou for many years, this is the first time I have truly walked between heaven and earth relying on my own strength, without fearing anything."

Zhang Xuan whispered while walking, and at the same time chuckled: "Now it can be considered the realization of a thought I once had: stepping across the Six Forbidden Zones as if entering an unpopulated land."

These words were incomparably arrogant and unbridled, but no one objected.

Someone in the Taichu Ancient Mine wanted to be angry, but was stopped by the person beside them.

And after Zhang Xuan left these words in an understated manner, he stepped out and arrived at the most mysterious place among the Seven Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland—Shang Cang.

In this area, the speed of time flowing seemed to become very slow.

An indelible power flowed within it.

Most peculiar was that on the suspended island, there remained the imprint left by the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin.

Zhang Xuan looked quietly for a moment, finally shook his head, and sang with satisfaction: "I have a bright pearl, long locked away by dust and toil; today the dust is gone and the light emerges, illuminating ten thousand mountains and rivers!"

Just as the last syllable fell, he transformed into a streak of eternal, indestructible Immortal Light, piercing through the entire Zhetian Great Universe.

And above his primordial spirit, countless laws merged into one, growing into a towering tree, forming an indestructible spiritual light; the Other Shore Dao Fruit was truly achieved.

Vaguely, a vast and mighty Time River with no head and no tail emerged.

Standing from the time period where Zhang Xuan was, it spread all the way upward.

Everyone could see that within that Time River, there seemed to be a fish swimming against the current.

It moved extremely fast and steadily, arriving first before the imprint of Qingdi.

But Qingdi's imprint did not have much fluctuation; it just trembled slightly and was passed directly, as if they had even nodded to each other.

And after this, its speed became even faster; the figures that appeared midway were unable to provide any obstruction.

Until it arrived before the imprint of Wushi Dadi, who stood with his back to all living beings.

Wushi Dadi stood with his back to all living beings, but at this moment, his imprint seemed to come alive.

Boundless might radiated between heaven and earth, and everyone even saw that figure seemingly about to turn around to engage in a supreme duel with this person.

In Shencheng, a sleek, oily Black Dog saw this and could not help but weep.

"Great Emperor, Great Emperor! Take me with you!"

Everyone thought that a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering duel might occur here.

But upon reaching this point, both sides paused, stared for a moment, and then that streak of light continued to charge forward.

And the imprint of Wushi Dadi dimmed, as if disappearing from heaven and earth, its existence seemingly non-existent.

Reaching this point, it still did not stop.

There were imprints of other Great Emperors along the way, but they were all quickly rushed past without causing any impact, until it arrived before a Ghost Face Mask.

All living beings in the world held their breath.

That Ghost Face Mask imprint in that Time River seemed to be crying and yet smiling.

It carried a peculiar power.

And when everyone saw that Ghost Face Mask, their emotions seemed to be infected; wanting to both cry and laugh, it was the portrayal of the life of a peerless Great Emperor.

At this, that figure moving against the current paused slightly, then rushed past.

Time changed rapidly, and it arrived directly in the Taigu; many Emperors did not cause it to pause at all, until it reached the very first step of the Taigu.

A pure-blooded phoenix flapped its wings and flew high, and a bright Heavenly Blade was imprinted there.

This time, the figure moving against the current stopped; it was a true, genuine stop.

"That is the legendary Undying Emperor!"

"To think there really is such a supreme figure."

"He, he is traveling upstream along the Time River, having already reached the earliest years of the Taigu era..."

"Could it be that he intends to rush all the way to the Mythological Era, or even go to that legendary period?"

The Forbidden Zones were all trembling.

But when that pile of figures encountered the imprint of the Undying Emperor, they performed actions different from all previous moments.

He threw a punch directly, the fist light shaking the heavens and the earth, shattering that layer of imprint.

During that period, the Heavenly Blade vibrated.

In the end, it actively avoided him; the earth-shattering strike did not occur, and that figure paused slightly before rushing upward.

The Heavenly Blade struck out actively, but the humanoid figure behind the Heavenly Blade grew dim.

Then, amidst the trembling of the whole world, many figures saw a Bronze Cauldron.

And the peerless figure standing atop the Bronze Cauldron.

"Emperor... Emperor Zun!"

Even within the Forbidden Zones, supreme figures whispered with shock.

Compared to the previous three distinct imprints, this layer of imprint was increasingly clear and distinct.

But this time, the actions of the figure traveling upstream were even faster and more direct, rushing through in one go.

That very clear imprint, after the impact, directly became dim and transparent.

"Is he even stronger than the Emperor of the Mythological Era? Where is he going by traveling upstream along the Time River?"

Many figures were shocked and puzzled.

Then they saw that ray of light continue forward until the end of the Luan Gu Era and the beginning of the Mythological Era.

It finally stopped moving and stayed there.

Then, amidst the shocked and amazed gazes of countless people, that stream of light rapidly reversed.

Before the eyes of countless people, between heaven and earth, the figure of Zhang Xuan condensed once more.

Zhang Xuan appeared between heaven and earth again, feeling the sensation of being able to control the entire world, and could not help but gently clench his fist.

Then, following his will, the Lun Hui Hai within the Six Forbidden Zones of the Eastern Wasteland stirred up monstrous waves.

It disintegrated in an instant, merging into this world.

A figure carrying an incomparably fierce aura rushed out, just about to perform Extreme Sublimation, but was grabbed by a single hand and shattered directly in the air.

"Yun Gen! One of the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, Xiao Yao Tian Zun."

Zhang Xuan whispered softly, and everyone in the entire Universe fell silent.

With a light lift of his hand, he slaughtered a Supreme; killing one was easier than killing a chicken.

Since ancient times, such a figure had never appeared.

They were shocked and puzzled, while Zhang Xuan only lowered his head to look at himself and whispered: "Other Shore!"

Silently and soundlessly, above the Chat Group.

Zhang Xuan's level changed to the peak of the Seventh Tier, even constantly flickering and changing between the peak of the Seventh Tier and the Eighth Tier.

And Zhang Xuan could not help but look up at the Small World he possessed.

At this moment, the entire Small World was perfectly and flawlessly integrated with the Zhetian Great Universe, its most core part hidden by Zhang Xuan's will outside of Earth.

And in that part, the most important and special head of the God King of God Kings fell into the Kunlun mountain range on Earth, falling into the Immortal Land nurtured by ninety-nine true Dragon Veins.

It was previously the ninety-nine true Dragon Veins swallowing Heaven and Earth Essence to nurture the Immortal Land, but now it was the opposite, absorbing the essence and energy of that true God King of God Kings' head to nourish the entire world.

At this very moment, endless Life Essence and energy were being extracted from the head of the God King of God Kings, sinking into the ninety-nine Dragon Veins, and then swallowed by the Dragon Veins into Kunlun.

Then it was dispersed by Kunlun to the entire Earth, and even spread to the endless Universe.

The heavens and earth trembled, and the Universe lost its color.

And Zhang Xuan only sighed softly.

"I thought I could charge into a sufficiently profound realm in one go, but even Emperor Zun could actively block me on the way. If he weren't in the Strange Land now, perhaps I wouldn't even be able to let the cycle of the entire Zhetian Great Universe pass his birthplace..."

Although feeling his own shortcomings, a satisfied expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.

Because after he became the true master of the Zhetian World, the energy and essence being extracted from that God King of God Kings' head became faster and faster.

He was confident that in a very short time, he could drain the head of this God King of God Kings completely.

And by that time, his strength and realm would soar to an unimaginable level.

Because his current state had already obtained the top-level authority of the Zhetian Great Universe; strengthening the Zhetian Great Universe was strengthening himself.

And Zhang Xuan already had a clear understanding and choice regarding the strengthening route.

It was at the moment Zhang Xuan was pondering that the many skeletons and tombstones of the Shenmo Lingyuan that came from the Shenmu World turned into pure Origin Essence and Immortal Substance in an instant, merging into the world.

After breaking through the original barriers and obstacles, the entire Great Universe was Zhang Xuan's body; he was the Origin incarnation of the Heavenly Dao will of the entire world.

Therefore, he could feel the weakness of this world and feel that sense of incompleteness.

And he could also fill in the gaps from every tiny direction.

Silently and soundlessly, the imprints left by Emperor Zun everywhere in the entire Great Universe were refined and disintegrated by Zhang Xuan bit by bit.

In a certain sense, what Emperor Zun did was exactly the same as what Zhang Xuan did.

Emperor Zun also wanted to refine the entire world, but what Emperor Zun did was to treat the entire world as energy for his own improvement, which was different from Zhang Xuan refining the entire world and then continuously strengthening this world, allowing this world to evolve to its peak.

There was an extremely subtle yet obvious difference between the two.

This was also why, when Zhang Xuan encountered the Ruthless Great Emperor and Wushi Dadi, neither of them had intervened.

Of course, because the Zhetian Great Universe was not strong enough, the Ruthless Great Emperor and Wushi Dadi could vaguely touch the laws of time.

But they could not truly stop him; they had not reached that level, and they could only vaguely sense what Zhang Xuan was doing.

Only Emperor Zun, who had long reached the Red Dust Immortal realm, had a strong say in this aspect and could even truly touch the Time River.

But Emperor Zun himself was no longer in this Zhetian Great Universe.

Even if they wanted to interfere or take action, there was no real way to do so.

They could only watch as Zhang Xuan moved forward all the way, charging into higher and more distant realms.

As for why Zhang Xuan reached the Mythological Era and stopped at that initial starting point, it was not that he did not want to go further, but that his power could likely only cover up to that stage.

If he were to continue charging forward, he would reach the Luan Gu Era.

And the Luan Gu Era has a point that cannot be bypassed—Huang Tiandi; although Huang Tiandi had not yet become a truly invincible figure across heaven and earth during that period, he was, at the very least, a Quasi-Immortal King.

With his current strength, Zhang Xuan could not break through yet and could only wait silently.

"However, completing this step is not too far off for me..."

Although it was only at this step that he could be considered to have strictly attained the Dao and become a Great Emperor, Zhang Xuan's previous accumulation was far too profound, even more exaggerated than that of a Chaos Body or an Innate Sacred Body Dao Fetus.

The moment he stepped into this realm, his own strength and cultivation level began to soar rapidly.

Even the Dao Fruits of many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors were all here.

From the Mythological Era stretching all the way to the present Post-Desolate Ancient Era, Zhang Xuan could take whatever he wanted.

No one could hinder him; he was truly soaring into the sky.
