Chapter 358: The Return of an Emperor Who Fell in the Emperor Fall Era?

365. Chapter 355: The Return of an Emperor Who Fell in the Emperor Fall Era?

"To reach such a stage, one is on par with the Butcher and the Burial Master; it can be considered as truly standing upon the threshold and steps of many great figures..."

Zhang Xuan exhaled gently, and the Dark Matter flowing between heaven and earth poured into his body in greater quantities, causing his body to glow and display an incomparable radiance.

At such a realm and stage, within the entire Nine Heavens and Shi Di, there was no one who could walk side by side with him; even the Wuzhong Immortal King and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King in their most flourishing states could not touch his edge.

Even Liu Shen was still a bit short of his current level.

In that city within the Heavenly Court, Liu Shen took root and shone quietly.

Zhang Xuan glanced at her; with such help, Liu Shen had now recovered to the very peak of the Human Dao Realm and was stepping onto the path of the True Immortal Realm.

Her progress was even accelerating; no one knew what an astonishing level this willow tree had reached.

Breaking and then establishing, falling from a former giant of the Immortal King level to her current weakest state.

Her speed of realm improvement was unimaginably beyond that of many figures.

But facing Zhang Xuan, even this willow tree swayed gently, sensing Zhang Xuan's incomparable potential and that terrifying, peerless strength.

"You are very special!"

Liu Shen took the initiative to speak at this moment, unlike her previous silence.

She questioned Zhang Xuan, seemingly wanting to obtain more from him, but Zhang Xuan only shook his head.

There was no need for Liu Shen to continue speaking; he already knew exactly what this existence wanted to say.

"If you want to break through to a higher level, relying on me is useless; you must rely on yourself to walk out an unprecedented path."

Just as he was speaking, Zhang Xuan, having reached such a level and stage, finally did not hesitate or pause; boundless power silently crossed the end of the Immortal Ancient era and then directly covered the entire Immortal Ancient.

This time, covering the Immortal Ancient with the power of the Other Shore encountered basically no obstacles.

It was completely unlike when Zhang Xuan first broke through to the Chaotic Ancient Era and encountered interference from many figures.

At that time, Zhang Xuan was still too weak, and many times he had to take detours, actively leaving certain gaps to avoid being influenced by figures of the same Immortal King level.

But now, even the imprints of Immortal King level giants could be easily crossed by him.

Even in the process of crossing the Time River, Zhang Xuan watched as if watching children play, seeing Chi Wang constantly interfering in the downstream of the Time River from the upstream, influencing the birth of the most supreme geniuses.

At such a moment, Zhang Xuan only gently exerted influence, and Chi Wang immediately fell into a very embarrassed and dangerous state, nearly falling on the spot.

When it comes to manipulating time, an Existence of the Other Shore beats an Immortal King.

This is the different influence caused by different cultivation rules and realms, and the difference between them is very large.

Of course, for Zhang Xuan, it would be easy for him to kill many figures now, but he simply did not do it.

He just stood between this heaven and earth, feeling the cultivation of many figures in the Immortal Ancient era and discussing the Dao with them.

Watching the Wuzhong Immortal King advance on the path of no beginning and no end, and watching the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and the Wuzhong Immortal King discuss the possibilities of reincarnation together.

Of course, he was also watching the peak Border Desolation Seven Kings constantly heading toward their end.

The entire process was smooth and fluid.

And the many shattered soul imprints of Immortal Kings that Zhang Xuan had previously found difficult to collect and obtain could finally be absorbed to his heart's content at this moment.

The most tragic battles and the most dangerous periods were in the Immortal Ancient era.

Whether it was the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, the Wuzhong Immortal King, or the Ten Fiends, the most terrifying battles involving many of the most powerful figures occurred during the end of the Immortal Ancient era.

Their battles fought out of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di and out of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces; they did not have their peak decisive battles within this heaven and earth.

Many Immortal King level imprints fell and were lost in other worlds, making them difficult to find.

But Zhang Xuan did not go looking for the imprints lost in other worlds at all; he directly extracted their imprints from these peak figures.

With his strength approaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm, doing such things was very easy.

During the peak periods of these figures, he quietly extracted parts of their imprints and then quietly let them recover.

Repeating this many times, he could basically extract a new imprint from the original imprints of these peak figures.

This operation was not fresh at all.

It is like how a person can only donate 400cc of blood at one time, but if they donate a small amount many times, they can extract nearly 80 percent of their total blood in a very short time.

And it did not have much impact on their own state; Zhang Xuan did such things when these top figures were in peaceful times without major battles.

Occasionally letting the state of these Immortal King level figures drop a little, they did not feel it very deeply; after all, Zhang Xuan would silently shield their senses.

The only Existence of the Other Shore in a world is just this willful, just this free, and just this arbitrary.

Others did not have much feeling, only Liu Shen, who was still growing in the Heavenly Court, was lost in thought.

Because she saw that two of the Border Desolation Seven Kings, who were floating in the vast ocean of Essence in the Heavenly Court like a heavenly river and whose states were not very good, were recovering their aura rapidly at this moment.

Their original imprints were almost shattered beyond recognition, with only one breath left.

To make such Immortal King level figures recover, it would probably require the legendary Nine Turns Soul Returning Pill or a more special Supreme Divine Medicine that could only target Immortal King level figures, requiring the Three Lives Medicine as the main material to accomplish such a thing.

But now they were really getting better rapidly; she saw clusters of flowing light appearing between Zhang Xuan's palms.

Those were the Immortal King imprints that were scattered and shattered between heaven and earth.

Those imprints condensed into a main body in Zhang Xuan's hands, forming a large piece that quickly merged into the bodies of these Immortal Kings.

The most important thing for an Immortal King is their own soul imprint and related concepts; as long as the soul imprint and concepts are not destroyed, they will not truly die.

Therefore, it has always been said that Immortal King level figures will not truly fall, but will only usher in a long period of weakness.

Even if the soul is crushed into fragments by others, it will gather again after endless years.

Of course, later, after Shi Hao achieved the status of an Immortal King, he overturned this point, because he really wiped out multiple Immortal King level figures.

Facts have proven that Immortal King level giants can also die; as long as one is willing to pay a sufficient price, one can make these figures die completely.

Of course, that was later in the later stages when the intensity of the war reached its peak; as for now, it is a recognized topic that Immortal King level figures are basically difficult to destroy, and every destruction will lead to a rebirth.

And now Zhang Xuan was making two supreme figures reborn—no, not two, but seven.

Liu Shen was originally calm, until she saw five other phantoms being outlined from nothing to existence in that heaven and earth.

Those were the other five Border Desolation Kings whose physical bodies had been destroyed and whose primordial spirits could no longer be traced.

But at this moment, their phantom shadows, their physical bodies, and even their flesh and blood were being outlined bit by bit, their newborn consciousness ignorant and pure.

In an extremely short amount of time, they received this piece of heaven and earth, truly understanding the course of this entire world.

That vast, nearly infinite river of Essence, like a heavenly river, dropped by a significant margin in an instant because of the revival of these seven kings.

It seemed they were about to be swallowed up completely by these seven supreme kings.

But fortunately, with Zhang Xuan's few breaths, the Essence between this heaven and earth increased in concentration once again; the river did not drop, but instead continued to rise.

Such a posture made even Liu Shen look sideways, truly and vividly feeling Zhang Xuan's power and uniqueness.

The energy one person inhaled and exhaled daily was more powerful and exaggerated than that of seven Immortal King-level figures.

"Could it be that the existence who fell during the Emperor Fall Era has returned?"

Such a thought could not help but emerge in Liu Shen's heart, because Zhang Xuan's improvement was too outrageous and too unreasonable.

This supreme figure even knew a considerable amount of secrets, and was even able to drag another supreme world from the void and merge it into the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.

Using supreme means of Creation to change the situation of the Nine Heavens and Shi Di.

When first meeting Zhang Xuan, Liu Shen could still vaguely understand the general strength and realm of this supreme existence; at that initial stage, he could not compare to his own peak period, only in the Immortal King Realm.

His actual realm could be considered powerful and special, but in the heaven and earth, he certainly did not belong to the ranks of the unique.

But to reach such a point now, this existence is truly supreme and special.

A specialness that far exceeds common sense, which cannot be calculated by reason.

Now, Zhang Xuan's realm is something Liu Shen has only learned of in legends.

Even in his own peak period, he had never touched this realm.

This is already truly approaching the level of that existence from the Emperor Fall period.

And the reason the Emperor Fall period is called Emperor Fall is because an Emperor-level figure died during that time.

When a figure of such a level dies, all the countless Multiverses of the entire heaven and earth, and all the powerhouses above and below, will have a sense of it in their hearts.

Therefore, that period is called Emperor Fall.

"Even figures at the Immortal King level are so difficult to fall; could it be that this is an Emperor from the Emperor Fall period who did not truly die, and now, after endless years, has returned?"

This thought could not be suppressed in Liu Shen's heart, and then he watched as the Border Desolation Seven Kings all revived in that endless ocean of energy.

They were truly returning; all their injuries were recovering, and their Qi, blood, and state were heading toward their most peak and powerful points.

Not only them, but even the Kunpeng, True Dragon, Heavenly Horned Ant, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass...

The most top-tier existences that once stood between heaven and earth were all returning; their imprints were still relatively complete, and their auras were even more flawless.

It seemed that the most powerful batch of figures from the Immortal Ancient Era were all returning now—no, there were also some who had not completely returned.

For example, the Wuzhong Immortal King and the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King, these two giant-level figures of the Immortal Ancient Era.

They were not in the ranks of those reviving in this batch.

And Zhang Xuan seemed to see Liu Shen's gaze and smiled lightly: "For some people, not returning completely is actually a different kind of opportunity and Creation; there is no need to interfere too much."

The Wuzhong Immortal King is suspected to be linked to the future Wushi Dadi, and Wushi Dadi later soared into the sky, rushing into the Immortal Emperor Realm with his own realm and state.

Even the Six Paths Reincarnation Immortal King and the Wuzhong Immortal King had vaguely explored the mystery of reincarnation having no beginning and no end.

Their deaths, rather than saying they died under the attacks of the Foreign Realm, it is better to say they borrowed such attacks to practice their own paths.

Zhang Xuan saw it very clearly, so after some thought, he did not interfere too much with them.

After careful consideration, he simply skipped this process.

After all, these two might have their own respective Creations in the future; there is no need for Zhang Xuan to interfere with them in advance and resurrect them—resurrecting them would instead be a harm to them.

Besides the Border Desolation Seven Kings, many True Immortal-level figures were also being nurtured in this process. Zhang Xuan conveniently copied their True Spirit imprints and related souls and threw them into this.

Of course, when Zhang Xuan copied, he didn't forget to copy an extra set. After all, many of the Human-Shaped Undying Medicine in the Zhetian World were transformed from the True Immortals who died in this period. If all these True Immortals were resurrected, the Undying Divine Medicine would be gone. Zhang Xuan simply prepared an extra set and threw them into the area originally intended to be cut off, letting them evolve into the Zhetian World.

In this process, these True Spirits he copied would all be cultivated into Undying Divine Medicine.

It can only be said that in order for the Zhetian World to be born smoothly, Zhang Xuan has racked his brains.

The Immortal Ancient Era was perfectly covered by Zhang Xuan.

However, Zhang Xuan was too lazy to change the original history of the Immortal Ancient Era.

He just conveniently took a large portion of Liu Shen's Immortal King imprint and soul from that era.

However, relatively speaking, the effect on the current Liu Shen is not too great, and it cannot make Liu Shen directly recover to his peak.

Because Liu Shen had already gone to the Boundary Sea in the middle and late stages of the Immortal Ancient Era and basically did not participate in the great battle at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Instead, it was only after the dust had settled on the great battle that Liu Shen returned from the Boundary Sea.

Knowing the specific situation, he was furious and rushed into the Foreign Realm for a fierce battle.

He killed several back and forth, and then, in a severely injured state, was ambushed by that Immortal King from the Immortal Realm.

Finally, carrying the traces of being severely injured and broken, he fell into the Lower Realm Eight Regions, taking root in Shi Village and growing bit by bit.

Overall, the process of his growth was not very smooth, but as of now, it is still quite good.

That former Immortal King imprint fell into Liu Shen's body, allowing him to step into the True Immortal Realm without spending much effort or time.

And he has gone very far in this realm. (End of chapter)
