357. Chapter 347: The Unfallen City at the Border Pass, Sword Pointed at Immortal Ancient!
Zhang Xuan did not interfere too much with the growth of the supreme prodigies of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di; after all, they were the batch of figures capable of growing in the future.
Since it was rare for Huang Tiandi to have a slightly better childhood now than before, he simply let them play with Huang Tiandi a bit more.
However, although there was no interference, a little bit of interference was still necessary.
Huang Tiandi had received an epic-level enhancement; if they were not enhanced as well, they might not even have the qualifications to be Huang Tiandi's childhood playmates.
Zhang Xuan had used projections to secretly enhance figures like Shi Guan Wang, Liu Guan Wang, and the Son of Heaven.
Now they could all be considered Zhang Xuan's outer sect disciples; judging by their ability to achieve the Immortal King realm, their talent was not embarrassing.
Zhang Xuan's process of taking in these disciples had gone quite smoothly.
As for other supreme figures, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to touch the veteran powerhouses of the entire Nine Heavens and Shi Di.
Except for Meng Tianzheng, whom Zhang Xuan found acceptable, he did not look down on the others, but they were truly somewhat like mere rabble.
Looking across the entire world, there was not a single one who could fight.
Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord were living quite comfortably in the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, and their experiences were also quite good.
Especially since they could often feel an aura similar to the Demon-Calling Scripture within the bodies of Kunpeng, True Dragon, and others, they had unique feelings and thoughts about this.
The top-tier supreme arts of the former Divine Tomb had all become the methods for the top powerhouses here to resurrect and return.
This gave them a special sense of identification with this piece of heaven and earth.
Zhang Xuan wandered freely between heaven and earth, and when he had moved over one hundred and twenty cities from the Death World,
he finally felt the difference between the worlds and felt that his situation had changed.
His body was sublimating, and he himself was constantly sublimating in this process.
His power and realm were increasing step by step, and his strength and realm were becoming increasingly special and formidable.
He had crossed a solid and powerful threshold in the Immortal King Realm.
This stemmed from the uniqueness of the Other Shore and the uniqueness of the methods of the Yishi Zhi Zun World.
After reaching the Other Shore Realm, Zhang Xuan had never actually reached the ceiling of his strength and realm.
As long as the world was strong enough and the rules were solid enough, he could continue to climb upward; he had not yet reached the limit of the realm of the world he was in.
And when he invested energy into the entire world, and there were enough worlds,
he naturally went a step further on the original foundation; this was the help brought by the figures above the True Immortal Realm and below the Immortal King Realm, numbering one hundred and twenty.
It was also the true help brought about after the Shenmu World merged into the entire Nine Heavens and Shi Di.
Under the energy replenishment and support of more than one hundred and twenty supreme figures, the fusion of the Shenmu World and the Nine Heavens and Shi Di was quite perfect.
In the process of this digestion, Zhang Xuan finally stabilized that step and reached a higher level.
This was the result of Zhang Xuan's own efforts over multiple periods of time.
It was also a feedback and a reward for his own efforts, which was only natural.
It was precisely at such a stage and realm that silent power began to spread from Zhang Xuan, covering the Border Pass outside the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.
Previously, when Zhang Xuan achieved the Other Shore, he had intentionally or unintentionally bypassed that zone, not including all regions of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di within it.
That was because Zhang Xuan's power and realm could not yet easily perfectly include Immortal King-level giants or Immortal King-level figures.
It was fine to bully some old, weak, sick, and disabled ones who only left behind remnants of their thoughts.
But it was a bit difficult when encountering those Immortal Kings whose energy realms were mostly preserved in full.
And outside the Border Pass, whether it was Tianxia Dier or Xianjin Daoren, both were Immortal King-level powerhouses who had preserved a large part of their state.
Including them directly had been quite a pressure for the previous Zhang Xuan, but now it was much easier to cover them.
An Immortal King-level giant? I am one too!
What was the problem with covering two crippled Immortal Kings? Simple!
And as he truly included all regions and territories of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, the most subtle changes were also occurring internally, which were the most peculiar.
Zhang Xuan felt that his primordial spirit and physical body were further sublimating.
This part was the true mystery of the Other Shore; he could easily change the past, and the future was entirely contained within him, so there would be no situation where someone could interfere.
The Nine Heavens and Shi Di truly belonged to Zhang Xuan in the real sense.
It could be said that any Immortal King in the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, even an Immortal King-level giant, could not beat Zhang Xuan if they wanted to PK with him in the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.
As long as this Immortal King-level giant fell into a state of decline at any moment during the battle with Zhang Xuan, they would be continuously weakened by Zhang Xuan, kept in that weak state, and would never be able to be complete again.
The entire time of decline would be frozen, completely unable to be reversed, and they would be weakened step by step until death.
Both were Immortal Kings, but an Immortal King plus the Other Shore was a completely different way of playing.
Yet after the coverage, Zhang Xuan did not make any more peculiar moves.
It was just that those two Immortal King-level powerhouses were silently moved from outside the Border Pass into this ancient city.
Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord felt it immediately and could not help but come over to visit, staring at the strangely shaped Tianxia Dier whose head had been pierced through.
At the same time, they also stared at the other Xianjin Daoren, whose body had been frozen through and was still bleeding golden blood to this day.
For them, two Immortal King-level powerhouses had very special reference value, much more useful than reading many scriptures; after all, these two were alive.
As for Zhang Xuan's behavior of collecting the old, weak, sick, and disabled, Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord expressed that they were used to it, as they often did the same.
They did not know how many immortal divine senses of top powerhouses had been collected within the Taiji God-Demon Diagram.
In this aspect, they were actually more accustomed and fluent; what Zhang Xuan did was similar to what they had done back then.
Inside the city, in the endless ocean of Essence, there was an existence from the Border Desolation Seven Kings, as well as a bunch of True Immortal-level existences whose primordial spirits and physical bodies had been purified of Dark Matter by Zhang Xuan.
They were all silently waiting for recovery in that endless ocean.
Now, it was just that there were two more figures.
But it was precisely while thinking about this that they felt touched again.
Silently, another Immortal King-level figure, weakened to the extreme and about to die, appeared in the brand-new city.
This figure was covered in wounds, not only in their primordial spirit but also in their physical body, and their entire being was being invaded by that kind of terrifying Dark Matter.
Although Zhang Xuan had only reached out a few times to swallow the endless Dark Matter, refining it into Essence and allowing it to merge into this world.
Yet this most supreme powerhouse had still not settled down as of now.
Even in this weakened state, boundless energy and matter were surging.
In an instant, the change in region and orientation made him extremely vigilant, and he was ready to lash out on the spot.
Only upon sensing another existence, who was also one of the Border Desolation Seven Kings lying in that boundless ocean of Essence, did his aura calm down.
Above both of their heads, runes representing the supreme rewards of heaven and earth were surging and colliding with each other, as if they had returned to the era of their peak youth.
Fighting side by side, drinking and laughing together.
Their bodily instincts were suppressed, and they did not unleash that earth-shattering strike.
And Zhang Xuan standing in this world naturally caused the entire world to stabilize.
He seemed to possess a unique power.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan turned toward Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord.
"There is a place that always has endless battles, always remaining in the most fanatical state of combat.
"I observe that after your tempering and observation during this time, you understand the methods of heaven and earth well enough, but your own combat methods are still in gestation; would you like to go there for a tour..."
Dugu Baitian looked at that one of the Border Desolation Seven Kings, whose body was covered in wounds that could not be healed to this day, and who was still in a coma.
He understood Zhang Xuan's meaning; he was likely to have him replace this supreme powerhouse and suppress that region.
Although he saw it, he had no intention of refusing.
Such a supreme powerhouse had been beaten into such a state, and he felt his own blood boiling; although his combat intent was not as fanatical as the Demon Lord's.
Who could kill their kin, kill themselves, and kill their own being at any time to raise their combat power to the absolute peak.
He was relatively upright and peaceful, but that was only in comparison to the Demon Lord.
"When the time comes to reverse yin and yang, I shall dye the blue sky with my demonic blood" also came from his own mouth; he was certainly not a peace-loving figure.
Daring to challenge the strongest in the world, daring to swing the blade in his hand at those impossible to defeat, the demonic nature within Dugu Baitian's body was not a bit inferior to the Demon Lord's.
"If there is such a region, I would naturally like to go for a trip."
He nodded directly, and Zhang Xuan also smiled.
With a point of his fingertip, a path to the heavens led directly from his hand toward the Border Pass, toward Tian Yuan.
Figures from the Foreign Realm had no way to pass through Tian Yuan, because Tian Yuan was a barrier with countless seas of laws merged within it; the Immortal Kings had no way to pass through at all.
Even existences at the True Immortal level would need to pay a huge price to pass; that was the true Great Wall of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.
Of course, the casting of the Great Wall was not without cost; at the very least, the Border Desolation Seven Kings had died completely, with only the last one remaining, and even this last one was in a state of being heavily wounded and dying.
If Zhang Xuan did not bring the other party back, the other party would not have many good days left.
Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord nodded and went straight to the Border Pass.
They were also curious about the top powerhouses of this world; fighting the Heavenly Dao was none of their business, but fighting others was something they wanted to try.
After all, in this world, there were no shortage of powerhouses at the Heavenly Dao level, and the one just brought back from the Border Pass counted as one.
A cruel battlefield was sometimes a matter worth tempering for them; they preferred that kind of environment.
And Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and threw Shi Hao, Shi Yi, Shi Guan Wang, and others over, letting them also temper themselves at the Border Pass.
As long as they could survive there, they would have unprecedented improvement.
As long as many figures went there for a tour and came back alive, they would already be the top geniuses in the world.
This aspect did not need to be mentioned too much; the group of surviving remnants at the Border Pass were all the top figures in the world.
Of course, in order to facilitate a smooth handover, the moment Zhang Xuan's thought moved.
A Dead City he had obtained from the Death World appeared in his hand, and then it dripped endless Life Essence, sinking into that ancient city.
In an instant, the injuries of that group of descendants of the Border Desolation Seven Kings left behind in the city were healed.
And the damage to their foundations and Origin caused by eating the flesh and blood of Supreme-level beings, and even the incomplete, minute flesh of True Immortal-level figures over long years, were all compensated and restored.
When it came to repairing injuries in this aspect, Zhang Xuan claimed to be second, and no one in the world dared to claim to be first; even the Ruthless Great Emperor could not.
Because Zhang Xuan had truly sublimated to an incredible level in this aspect by relying on the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art; it could be said that the student had surpassed the master.
The entire Nine Heavens and Shi Di, the entire Three Thousand Dao Provinces, were under Zhang Xuan's gaze and under Zhang Xuan's management.
In this world, the imprints of all Immortal King-level existences were gathered by him, and the injuries of Tianxia Dier and Xianjin Daoren were both in a state of recovery.
It was a pity that Zhang Xuan could only cover the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, and could not cover more distant regions.
And the great battles of Immortal King-level figures often did not just take place in the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, but also involved the Foreign Realm and other locations.
Therefore, even though Zhang Xuan was an Other Shore-level powerhouse, he had no way to directly restore these figures.
Zhang Xuan was an Other Shore-level powerhouse of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, but not the Other Shore of the entire world.
In the Nine Heavens and Shi Di, Zhang Xuan could be nearly omnipotent, but beyond this range, he was just a normal Immortal King giant.
"In the end, I am still not strong enough, and I cannot cover more and farther places!"
Zhang Xuan sighed leisurely.
He wanted to continue moving forward along this world of the Luan Gu Era, at least covering that period of the Immortal Ancient Era.
Unfortunately, with his existing strength and realm, he could not yet do it.
There were several Immortal King-level giants just in the Immortal Ancient period; whether it was Wuzhong Immortal King or Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, they were all at this level.
Liu Shen of those years was also at this stage.
Not to mention that the battles that occurred in the late Immortal Ancient period were terrifying and beyond imagination.
Multiple giant-level figures fought in that period: Pumowang, Chi Wang, Anlan, Yutuo...
There were many recorded Immortal Kings, and the great battles that occurred in that period were truly terrifying to the peak.
"If I want to go further, I must either try to absorb and accommodate other Multiverses to further sublimate my Other Shore level, or I must cultivate myself and break through on the existing foundation..."
Zhang Xuan whispered.
