350. Chapter 340: Sharpen My Battle Sword, Slaughter Up to the Nine Heavens

"Where is this?"

The moment Meng Tianzheng arrived at this place, he felt the difference between this world and the previous one.

Even though he had been separated from this world for hundreds of thousands of years, an expression of excitement could not help but appear on his face.

"This is another Universe, Master, you..."

Before he could say anything more, Zhang Xuan directly waved his hand, his Divine Sense touching the space between heaven and earth, and a figure appeared out of thin air before him.

This was a tall figure, holding a strange weapon in his hand that looked like a saber, a flying knife, and a sword; looking closely, it was actually a giant key half a person's height.

Beside this figure appeared another person, standing upon a Taiji Gods and Demons Diagram, above which sat a Bone Bed crafted from the skulls of countless gods.

Both figures looked at Zhang Xuan simultaneously, as well as the several figures beside Zhang Xuan.

The True Dragon and the descendants of the Ten Fiends made them take a second look, and Dugu Baitian nodded slightly.

"Their innate potential is extremely high; if they continue to cultivate, they can reach our level. They are excellent seedlings."

The Demon Lord looked at Kunpeng, then at the True Dragon, and after a moment, he raised his eyebrows.

"Very interesting, they have a modified version of the Demon-Calling Scripture in their bodies. Who are they resurrecting?"

As he spoke, he also saw the powerful, indestructible Divine Sense within several of the figures, and for an instant, he was moved.

"Figures not inferior to our level; when did they die?"

Whether it was Meng Tianzheng, Kunpengzi, or the two True Dragons, their expressions were extremely solemn at this moment.

The two figures before them spoke lightly, but the information revealed was terrifying; whether it was the True Dragon or Kunpengzi, they were descendants of the Ten Fiends, figures at the level of Quasi-Immortal King.

Yet these two figures said the Divine Sense imprints in their minds were not inferior to them, which meant these two figures before them, with their perfect and flawless auras and states, were Quasi-Immortal Kings.

This was absolutely astonishing.

Moreover, they could feel that the states and auras of the two figures before them were further perfecting, as if they were about to break through their current state and reach a higher level.

"You brought them here to have them tempered? It is possible to give them some time; they should be able to participate in that ultimate battle."

Zhang Xuan heard this and shook his head directly.

"Since we are already here, why wait for the future? I feel that we can ascend to the Nine Heavens right now."

As he spoke, Zhang Xuan paused slightly.

If he were to enter this world as an Other Shore entity, he would need a period of time to adapt before he could perfectly adapt to the rules of this world and utilize them to exert a portion of an Other Shore entity's power.

But if he came here as an Immortal King from the Luan Gu Era, especially one who cultivated the methods left behind by Huang Tiandi and opened up the Five Great Secret Realms.

Then Zhang Xuan's state could always be maintained at its peak, because Huang Tiandi's methods do not rely on external objects and are self-contained.

Both are very powerful yet have their differences; an Other Shore entity can perform countless precise operations within their own world.

There are also many operations that subvert others' expectations, sometimes even achieving things that an Immortal Emperor cannot.

But if not in the world where the Other Shore entity resides, their abilities and range will be greatly restricted, unable to display that omnipotent capability.

It can only be said that every direction and area has its pros and cons; it is impossible to be perfect in every way.

"Start the war directly?"

Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord were both slightly surprised.

Then Dugu Baitian shook his head first.

"The current preparations are not enough. Although the probability of success is getting higher, we have a clearer direction; there is no need to take risks like before..."

"No, it is not a risk."

Zhang Xuan shook his head easily.

A single hand pressed forward, directly stunning the Demon Lord; he hadn't even reacted before the Taiji Gods and Demons Diagram beneath his body was taken into Zhang Xuan's hand.

"Your realm..."

Even Dugu Baitian became astonished. They had heard of this friend described by Chen Nan, whose strength and realm were powerful, but they had not expected it to be to such a degree.

"My realm now should not have much of a gap with the Heavenly Dao. If such a figure were to block me, a head-on confrontation would be about the same."

"Of course, if you are willing to help me perfect it a bit more, the next battle will be even easier."

As Zhang Xuan spoke, his fingers tapped lightly, and within the Taiji Gods and Demons Diagram, the supreme Divine Senses of countless powerhouses were all flickering.

Then the strongest paths and laws they mastered all emerged and were seen by Zhang Xuan. The first one he looked at was not others, but the Space-Time Great God.

In just a very short time, the Space-Time laws were revealed before Zhang Xuan, and he saw that shimmering Time River in the Shenmu World.

That shimmering Time River was only the thickness of a thumb at the beginning, but after a moment's pause, it became the thickness of an arm.

Then, in a very short time, it expanded to be wider than a person, and before long, it was vast and boundless, with no known origin and no known destination.

Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord were stunned when they saw this. They recognized that these were methods from the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Tathagata Golden Body.

It was the last most critical step before the Other Shore: condensing the relevant laws, then using these laws to prove the Dao and achieve the Other Shore.

This was a very special point, very calm, yet very special.

They had currently condensed their own laws to the peak, only one step away from achieving the Other Shore, but it was precisely this step that was currently stuck.

Because, after all, the Heavenly Dao occupied the strongest ecological position, and they had to choose the right time and place to prevent interference from others.

Yet Zhang Xuan, with reference, easily brought the two Great Daos of time and space to the peak in a very short time.

Then, in a very short time, they saw Zhang Xuan traveling through the Time River, traveling to the ancient past, traveling to even more distant and ancient years and times.

Watching one supreme figure after another grow bit by bit, one rule after another condensed around Zhang Xuan; those were the supreme rules condensed by many of the strongest throughout the ages.

One by one, those rules merged into Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit, supplementing his primordial spirit and making his self and movements increasingly composed.

His primordial spirit was like a black hole, with all rules and laws sinking into it.

This was another alternative method Zhang Xuan realized after studying the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art, combined with the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Tathagata Golden Body.

Since he wanted to achieve the supreme Other Shore of a world and master all rules to occupy all ecological positions, then he might as well push the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art to the extreme; just like in the Three-Body World, gather all matter into a single point, then let this point explode again, deriving a perfect, brand-new Universe.

And what Zhang Xuan was doing now was absorbing all the rules, then soaring into the sky at the most critical point to achieve the Other Shore.

Of course, for now, he was simply allowing himself to better adapt to the rules of this world, and then become stronger and more fierce.

Zhang Xuan would not be so stubborn as to attempt to achieve the Other Shore directly within the Shenmu World; that would be seeking an early death.

Even the Mo Zu, who was once so mad as to kill his own kin and himself, would not do such a thing now, so one can imagine how great the difficulty is; the Heavenly Dao is not dead, it is still alive.

Zhang Xuan doing this now was merely to further enhance his combat power.

"Start the war now?"

Dugu Baitian took a deep look at Zhang Xuan, then discussed it with Mo Zu.

A massive chessboard was simulated by them, and boundless fog covered this area.

They wanted to try to deduce what benefits there would be to starting the ultimate battle now, or rather, what the odds of winning the ultimate battle were.

Zhang Xuan covered it with a backhand.

The time in a certain period of the past was interfered with by Zhang Xuan; figures who were originally destined to die were left with a breath of life, and then recovered and recuperated over a long period of time.

In the blink of an eye, within the Taiji God-Demon Diagram, figures who originally only had a wisp of Divine Sense remaining grew flesh, blood, and Bone, and then grew to their peak period.

The eyes of both Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu lit up.

Zhang Xuan, however, just smiled lightly.

With one hand, he grabbed toward Chen Nan; through the accumulation of the Chen Family ancestors over the generations, the efforts of ten consecutive generations, the Chen Family ancestor who had not yet truly resurrected was restored from a pair of eyes into a complete body.

Furthermore, within that pair of eyes, a new, true pair of eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant, that body seemed to reach the heavens and connect to the earth.

Both Mo Zu and Dugu Baitian raised their eyebrows.

Currently, the most difficult point for them to achieve the Other Shore was the control of time and space; simply put, there was no way to arbitrarily modify the past.

As a result, Zhang Xuan easily demonstrated a peak, masterful technique and level to them.

"To me, this is not a difficult matter, and to you, it is actually not difficult either; you have already reached the relevant limit..."

With an understated gesture, Zhang Xuan pointed his finger, and two clusters of intent merged into the bodies of Mo Zu and Dugu Baitian.

Originally, these two figures were the most supreme powerhouses in Zhang Xuan's Chat Group, and to Zhang Xuan, they were both insurmountable supreme existences.

But now, these two most supreme figures in the world had fallen behind Zhang Xuan, and their walking speed was not as fast as Zhang Xuan's.

"Since we are going to conduct the ultimate battle, of course, we must call over many figures and let them all return."

Zhang Xuan sighed softly, pointing one hand at the Taiji God-Demon Diagram, and thus the power and imprints of the peerless figures who had died in the ancient past returned bit by bit.

The peerless figures in the Shenmu World inherently possessed the nature of having indestructible souls; those indestructible battle souls might at most be ground into countless fragments by others, but after enough time and years had passed, they would eventually return bit by bit.

And Zhang Xuan's current actions were merely letting them return early, letting them return in advance.

For Zhang Xuan, the whole thing was not too difficult, and could even be called simple.

He had not achieved the Other Shore in this world, but he learned from the Time-Space God to interfere with the past, influencing a portion with the minimal cost.

Bearing that little bit of karma would not be very difficult, and could even be considered very easy.

Everything was so simple and direct, not overly troublesome.

Very easy, very relaxed.

If it were in the eyes of Chen Nan, Dugu Baitian, and the others, this would be a somewhat terrifying scene.

Zhang Xuan ignored this and said with a smile to Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu: "If you want to achieve the Other Shore during this process, I will not let you participate; I will take the lead."

"Speaking of which, a long time ago, before I had stepped onto the path of cultivation, I was quite interested in your words, and I would like to say one myself."

Facing the strange gazes of Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu, Zhang Xuan chuckled, then let out a low chant.

"When the yin and yang are reversed, I shall dye the blue sky with my demonic blood!"

As he spoke, a figure jumped out from Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit; it was strikingly a supreme figure condensed from Dugu Baitian's Dao Fruit, which had been understood, absorbed, and evolved during this period.

Its appearance, posture, and state were exactly the same as Dugu Baitian's.

Dugu Baitian was stunned, taken aback for a moment, and the next instant.

A voice that likewise shook the world rang out.

"Asking the vast earth, who determines the rise and fall? Only I, the Mo Zu!"

Amidst the low words, a figure full of demonic nature walked out from Zhang Xuan's primordial spirit.

It even nodded toward Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu.

Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu looked at this peerless figure that copied the two of them, not knowing what to say.

And only then did Zhang Xuan raise his head to look toward the Nine Heavens.

In that difficult great battle during the ancient period, the Time-Space God had used his life as the price to open a passage, transferring the strongest batch of figures into the Time River so that they would return in the future.

And at this moment, this passage was opened again by Zhang Xuan with supreme great magic power, and one figure after another walked out from that passage.

The weakest of the figures walking out from there were those above the Immortal Martial Realm, and many had reached the Immortal God Realm of the ancient period, being extremely powerful.

The leading figure at this time was even tapping his sword and singing, the singing voice shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Cultivate my battle sword, and kill my way up to the Nine Heavens!"

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly to Dugu Baitian and Mo Zu, and in an instant, a General-Worshipping Platform formed at the feet of the Mo Zu, whom Zhang Xuan had manifested using One Qi Transforms Three Purities.

The characters "billions of living beings as soldiers, millions of Gods and Demons as generals" radiated endless light.

The Dugu Baitian transformed by Zhang Xuan soared into the sky, punching into the firmament, instantly opening an infinitely distant passage, with Zhang Xuan walking at the very front.

Amidst loud laughter, countless people followed.

Meng Tianzheng looked at this scene that felt like blood boiling with excitement and likewise charged into that passage.

The blood of countless people was surging, the world was shaking, and the battle seemed as if it could never stop.

Brilliant light shot into the sky, submerging everything between heaven and earth.

And the Mo Zu and Dugu Baitian manifested by Zhang Xuan's One Qi Transforms Three Purities were even more fierce and overbearing to an incredible degree; in the blink of an eye, they broke through the eight heavens and reached the ninth heaven, which was the location of the true Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, Dugu Baitian laughed out loud in front of countless people and unleashed the Eight Styles of Reversing Chaos.

Qingtian, who in the ancient era was originally capable of fighting Dugu Baitian head-on, exploded amidst this attack, transforming into boundless rain of blood.

The truly strongest figure, hidden behind the Heavenly Emperor, also appeared at this moment; it was a massive halo covering the heavens and the earth, sealing the entire world, the Nine Heavens.

The aggregate of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness!
