342. Chapter 332: I Open Peace for the Chaotic Ancient Era! Covering the Firmament with a Single Hand

Standing above the Nine Heavens, Wang Zhangsheng suddenly trembled in the midst of his cultivation and looked up toward the deepest depths of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.

There, an incomparably vast and enormous tree lay on the ground, long since withered and dead, its very roots pulled out by someone.

For everyone, that was an incomparably shocking scene.

Even a tree that would be difficult for figures at the True Immortal level to fell had been uprooted by someone, causing this entire world to become unstable.

That was the World Tree that once supported the entire Immortal Ancient, supporting the entire Nine Heavens and Shi Di and the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

During the peak of the Immortal Ancient era, Immortal Kings would sit atop it to preach the Dao, and one True Immortal after another would occupy the leaves above, using the leaves as their Dao sites; each leaf was broader than an infinite world.

But that was all past glory; now, all that glory had long since faded away.

Even the world itself had shattered, the laws of heaven and earth were incomplete, and even the most supreme figures had no way forward. They could only reach the very pinnacle of the Human Dao Realm at most.

But that final step to achieve True Immortal status could no longer be completed.

A figure with such unparalleled talent and aptitude as him would basically have been guaranteed to achieve True Immortal status in the Immortal Ancient era, yet in these current times, he too was stuck at the very pinnacle of the Human Dao Realm, unable to advance any further.

But at this moment, he saw that on the stump of that originally withered World Tree, at the very bottom, a most fragile seedling was growing.

There, a Daoist stood faintly, as if supporting the entire world.

When he gazed over, a look of astonishment could not help but emerge in his eyes.

"When the Immortal Ancient shattered back then, did I seem to have seen him?"

"Is he an Immortal King who survived that battle? Or is it a strand of an Immortal King's undying obsession?"

Wang Zhangsheng was incomparably surprised.

In the entire world, only a figure like him, who stood at the very extreme of the Human Dao Realm and was even still pushing forward, could sense the most subtle changes between heaven and earth.

He could not help but look up toward the region where Meng Tianzheng was located; in this world, only Meng Tianzheng could be ranked alongside him.

As it turned out, he discovered that Meng Tianzheng was also looking up toward that piece of heaven and earth, toward the deepest depths of the world; in Meng Tianzheng's eyes, there was reverence and agitation—that kind of emotion was extremely complex.

"Are there still true supreme powerhouses between heaven and earth?"

Wang Zhangsheng whispered above the Nine Heavens, then could not help but look up toward the outside of the Border Pass.

Tian Yuan spanned the highest point of the firmament; for countless years, it had remained largely unchanged, hanging there calmly.

But figures like him and Meng Tianzheng both knew that it was merely a lingering, dying gasp; the battle of the Immortal Ancient had already been lost back then.

All the top-tier powerhouses had already died, and their weapons and techniques had all been plundered by the Foreign Realm.

Although the Foreign Realm had suddenly left this world for unknown reasons at the end, everything had already become a foregone conclusion.

Even Tian Yuan was merely delaying the destruction of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di and the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

Everything had reached its end and would eventually have to draw a period in the future; even if there were supreme great figures who had survived from the Immortal Ancient era, there was no way.

"Back then, there were the Wuzhong Immortal King and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, yet both met their defeat and death; now, just a figure gasping for breath, what can he change?"

Wang Zhangsheng shook his head, casting aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and could not help but raise his head toward the higher reaches above the Nine Heavens.

Rather than wasting time here in vain, pointlessly grinding away his own lifespan, it would be better to send the family's top-tier treasures and items to the Immortal Domain.

In order to seek the recognition of the supreme figures in the Immortal Domain and move the entire clan to the Immortal Domain—that was the true place of leisure and freedom.

"It's just a seedling; if it had grown in earlier years, there might have been hope, but now that we have reached the end of this era, what is the use of growing now?"

Wang Zhangsheng withdrew his gaze, not intending to interfere.

That area was permeated with endless Hun-tun Qi; even though he possessed an Immortal Artifact and the most terrifying weapons, he did not want to go there and court disaster.

There was nothing left in this world worth his lingering attachment.

……

"Eh, you are... are you Zhang Xuan?"

A milky, childish voice rang out, and Shi Hao, still in his early childhood, wobbled toward Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and not far away was Liu Shen, which had grown two tender buds.

Zhang Xuan seemed to have grown from the earth itself, becoming one with the entire world.

Facing the future Huang Tiandi, the current Shi Hao, he also smiled slightly.

With a point of his finger, a ball of bright light fell into Shi Hao's body, helping Shi Hao digest the beast milk left behind by the Heavenly Immortal-level demonic beast that Meng Qi had sent.

"The medicinal power of the beast milk Meng Qi gave you is truly too strong; in your current condition, it is very difficult to digest. I will help you refine it a little."

Lustrous light radiated from Zhang Xuan's hand, naturally helping Shi Hao refine it, causing Shi Hao's entire body to glow.

At the position of his chest, a Bone was growing rapidly.

For Shi Hao, this was not forcing growth by pulling on the sprouts.

After all, the most difficult period, the time when he was about to die, Shi Hao had already endured on his own.

In the future, as he replenished enough heavenly treasures, the second Supreme Bone would naturally grow out.

The tender buds had already grown, and the root system was planted deeper than ever before; now, Zhang Xuan was merely letting it grow more rapidly.

"Iya, what a strange feeling; my physical body seems to have become stronger, and my bones are so itchy."

Like a porcelain doll, Shi Hao walked unsteadily, babbling at this moment.

Not far from Shi Village, the two tender buds that Liu Shen had grown swayed slightly at this moment, and crystalline green radiance spilled down.

Zhang Xuan looked on and smiled slightly.

Liu Shen was indeed a supreme powerhouse between heaven and earth at its peak, but now it was extremely weak, even having to take root on the corpse of a God to grow and develop.

Facing Liu Shen in this period, Zhang Xuan smiled at the wobbling Shi Hao: "You have such delicious beast milk, shouldn't you share some with Liu Shen? After all, Liu Shen has always been protecting the village and guarding you all."

"Oh, right!"

The young Shi Hao blinked his eyes, very ignorant, and then, imitating the actions of the village chief and others when offering sacrifices, he placed the beast milk he was holding onto the altar.

In the distance, the village chief Shi Yunfeng, Shi Erhu, and others burst into loud laughter.

"You little milk-drinker, are you drunk from drinking milk? How could Liu Shen drink milk?"

"In the most solemn sacrificial ceremony in the village's history, Liu Shen has only ever watched; are you teasing us with a bowl of beast milk here?"

Others were still questioning Zhang Xuan.

"Outsider, where do you come from? Are you planning to enter the Great Wilderness to hunt?"

But there were also those who felt something was wrong at this moment.

"Eh, that... that bottle of milk..."

That bottle of beast milk placed upon the altar had seemed unremarkable in Shi Hao's hands, but as it landed on the altar, brilliant Immortal Light surged into the sky.

A rich aroma permeated the entire Shi Village, even spreading out toward the Great Wilderness.

Many people felt their entire bodies lighten by a third after just one whiff, while the old village chief Shi Yunfeng had his body glow from smelling it.

He had suffered severe injuries in his early years and had only opened two Cave Heavens.

At this moment, his old wounds recovered directly, and because he smelled this aroma, his body erupted like a volcano, and two more Cave Heavens were opened.

Not only him, but the bodies of the group of middle-aged men in Shi Village were all glowing, with Cave Heavens opening.

In an instant, this place had practically become like a volcano.

"This..."

The group of people was shocked, feeling it was terrifyingly peerless.

"What kind of milk is this? Is it God's milk?"

The crowd was incredibly shocked, and what shocked them even more was that Liu Shen, who never took offerings in Shi Village, reached out a verdant green willow branch at this moment and lowered it into that bowl of beast milk.

Then, the sound of sucking was heard, and in the blink of an eye, that bowl of beast milk was empty.

Zhang Xuan, however, was unfazed; he even saw the last bit of white milk stain on that tender green willow branch disappear rapidly, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

The idea of a peerless Immortal King drinking milk in front of him was interesting to think about.

And the beast milk, which originated from the Yishi Zhizun Shijie and was left behind by a beast at the Heavenly Immortal level, was not inferior to the Supreme of this world, and might even be stronger.

To draw an analogy, it might be similar to milk left behind by a True Immortal.

The beast milk left behind naturally possessed incredible abilities.

It could only be said that Meng Qi had truly put in the effort to please Huang Tiandi.

"Who are you?"

Many people were shocked, and Shi Yunfeng was even more suspicious and uneasy; he walked to Zhang Xuan's side, while a group of sturdy men protected Shi Hao behind them.

"I am a figure who wanders between this heaven and earth; I can also be called the Lord of this heaven and earth."

Zhang Xuan was very composed.

Having reached his level of strength and realm, apart from Huang Tiandi, no one in the Luan Gu Era could influence him anymore.

And with the influence exerted by the Chat Group, Huang Tiandi did not affect him now; he could even freely collect the Dao Fruit and traces of many Immortal King and Ten Fiends level figures within the long river of time.

At his level, he could already defy common sense, with his general rapid growth and the countless Immortal Scriptures left behind from the Immortal Ancient Era.

He could easily read the inheritances of the most supreme figures buried between the heavens and earth where the Immortal Ancient existed.

Many supreme figures died even more thoroughly than the Great Emperors in the Covering the Sky universe; they even basically abandoned their Dao Fruit and their rules to walk a brand-new path, and there were no competitors in the entire heaven and earth.

As he spoke, one rule of heaven and earth and Dao Fruit after another were gestating within Zhang Xuan's body.

Then, in the most central chaotic zone between the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, they merged into that World Tree seedling that was still growing in its infancy.

Having had the experience of mending the heavens once, Zhang Xuan was now even more skilled and composed in repairing this heaven and earth of the Luan Gu Era.

Within his physical body, the Pangu Yuan Shen, or rather the Nuwa Yuan Shen, flowed and circulated naturally.

It made the entire heaven and earth become different from what it used to be.

"Lord of heaven and earth?"

The village chief Shi Yunfeng was shocked, and the entire Shi Village trembled.

They had thought the origin and identity of the figure before them were earth-shattering, but upon hearing this answer, they could not help but be stunned, and some even let out a laugh.

Yet they were afraid that showing such an attitude in front of Zhang Xuan would cause his dissatisfaction, so they forcibly held it back.

After all, Zhang Xuan's strength and realm far exceeded ordinary people, and that earth-shattering bowl of beast milk just now seemed to have been provided by him.

They could not grasp the origin of the figure before them; they only knew he was very strong and dared not offend him casually.

That group of innocent and ignorant children did not have such concerns and laughed very loudly at this moment.

"Lord of heaven and earth? Then who is more powerful compared to the most terrifying savage beasts in the depths of the Great Wilderness?"

"Can you compare to the Shi Huang of the Stone Country who rules this piece of heaven and earth?"

"Can you be more powerful than Grandpa Village Chief?"

A group of children asked ignorantly, and Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, not taking offense.

"Stronger than everyone you can imagine."

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan reached one hand toward the sky, and in an instant, the entire heaven and earth dimmed.

Everyone could see a boundless hand covering the entire heaven and earth, with only sporadic light falling through the gaps between the fingers, illuminating the world, and the entire heaven and earth was trembling.

The group of middle-aged men in Shi Village were shocked to the point of being unable to speak, and even felt their hearts trembling.

Covering the sky with one hand—that was a figure that only existed in legends; even the Gods in legends had not reached such a level.

Yet today, they had seen it with their own eyes.

That boundless hand covered the entire heaven and earth, and even the cries of the terrifying savage beasts in the deepest parts of the Great Wilderness stopped, as if they had sensed that kind of terror.

Even the entire heaven and earth became quiet with no noise, save for a group of innocent and ignorant children making exclamations here.

"Wow, so amazing, so amazing, Uncle, how did you do that?"

"Uncle, you seem to be even more powerful than the village chief, can you teach me? I also want to be like you."

The group of children did not know fear, because Zhang Xuan, who stood before the village under that willow tree, always carried a gentle smile without that oppressive aura.

Even though he had covered the entire sky just by raising his hand, making the sun dim.

The group of grown men in Shi Village were like people whose throats had been pinched, unable to utter a single word.

They watched as Zhang Xuan slowly lowered his palm, and the Heavenly Emperor restored the world from Darkness back to light.

Sunlight covering a territory of hundreds of millions of miles fell upon the world once more, and the sounds of various birds, beasts, insects, and fish returned.

In a trance, it felt like a dream.

And they heard that figure standing beneath the willow tree nod slowly.

"You want to learn? I will teach you!"

In the Imperial Capital of Stone Country, Shi Yi, who possessed the Double Pupil, looked up at the firmament, his eyes filled with endless shock.

He had always been mature and did not show his emotions, but now, seeing that palm Covering the Sky, seeing those clear palm prints.

Seeing the lines between the crisscrossing gullies, taller than mountain peaks, it was hard to imagine how massive that figure in their complete form would be, seeing that palm cover the entire firmament, obscuring the sun and moon.

Then, seeing that palm slowly retract, he was completely struck dumb.

"Is that an ancient God? A real man should be like that!"

He looked up at the firmament, uttering these words, resolute and decisive.

He even couldn't help but reach out and press his chest, feeling as if the Bone inside also had its own unique blood flowing through it.
