Chapter 2006: Emperor Wu Zhong!

"Me too."

"Hearing that, Lu Xuan and Qi Chun Jing exchanged a smile."

"Xiao Nannan is kinda cute."

"Qi Chun Jing also bowed to Xiao Nannan, saying, 'Thank you, Xiao Nannan.'"

"Xiao Nannan also imitated Lu Xuan's manner, nodding her head with an old‑fashioned air."

"This made Lu Xuan and Qi Chun Jing unable to hold back their laughter."

"Qi Chun Jing said, 'Master, I saw that small town again; there's still a child waiting for me there.'"

"His name is Ning Chang'an."

"Lu Xuan furrowed his brow slightly."

"Back when we were at the World Tree, he had seen that small town in Xiao Nannan's memory."

"He knew who Qi Chun Jing was talking about."

"In that town, the boy in the muddy lane."

"That town is not within the Reverse-flow Long River."

"Lu Xuan said, 'We will meet him.'"

"Qi Chun Jing nodded."

"Great Universe!"

"That child is in the Great Universe."

"But his cultivation is still too weak now."

"At the Dao King Realm, he can't even walk out of the Butterfly World."

"He can't even get out of the Reverse-flow Long River!"

"He still needs to keep getting stronger."

"Xiao Nannan suddenly remembered something: 'Oh right, there's also that big white dog.'"

"He had also encountered Qi Chun Jing in that town before."

"And there was the big white dog that depended on her for survival."

"However, later the big white dog said he was going to look for his own master."

"That master is said to be very powerful."

"The big white dog bragged, saying that master could annihilate a star field with a single glance."

"Qi Chun Jing suddenly said, 'Perhaps the master of that white dog is that person.'"

"Xiao Nannan curiously asked, 'Who is it?'"

"Qi Chun Jing said, 'Emperor Wu Zhong!'"

"Just now, when he had an epiphany and gained his second natal character 'Heaven,' some memory fragments surfaced in his mind."

"Some of those fragments were about the Great Universe."

"In the Great Universe, Emperor Wu Zhong is the one who travels with a white dog."

"Emperor Wu Zhong is very strong."

"There used to be a saying: 'Who stands at the edge of the Great Universe? Upon seeing Emperor Wu Zhong, the Dao turns to emptiness!'"

"But even such an unparalleled figure has vanished without a trace in the Great Universe."

"Just because."

"There are simply too many powerful foes in the Great Universe."

"For the human race to rise is extremely difficult."

"That place is the purgatory of humanity!"

"Soon, Qi Chun Jing gathered his thoughts."

"Now he is essentially starting over; one day he will recover all his memories and then return to the Great Universe."

"Next."

"Lu Xuan and the three of them walked outward."

"He received Qi Chun Jing's cultivation feedback, and his cultivation surged again."

"He directly broke through to the One-Star Dao Birth Realm!"

"With each step Qi Chun Jing took, the surrounding righteous vital energy turned into drifting vapors that spread outward."

"A white long bridge appeared beneath their feet."

"On the battlefield, everyone saw Lu Xuan and Qi Chun Jing walk out and were stunned for a moment."

"Qi Chun Jing now appears transcendent and detached from worldly affairs."

"That feeling is profoundly mysterious."

"His Dao Resonance is pure and unadulterated, making people feel the urge to sit and discuss the Dao with him."

"This Dao Resonance differs from Lu Xuan's."

"Lu Xuan is one with the Dao."

"Elder Wang Luo felt even more despair and looked ahead."

"An army numbering over ten times that of the Ruthless Empress actually lost more than half its forces!"

"And now Lu Xuan has freed up his hands."

"Qi Chun Jing successfully comprehended his natal character!"

"Although he hasn't unleashed it, that oppressive power makes him feel a palpitation."

"Elder Wang Luo's radiance dimmed, and the high‑grade gu insects in his hand are down to just a few."

Only the Yinlin Elder can save them.

He turned his gaze to the other side.

Divine Envoy Fang Ningbing was also fighting Ye Chen.

I never expected they would be evenly matched!

I have to say, Lu Xuan's disciples are all heaven-defying!

And such heaven-defying disciples, Ye Chen is just one of them.

While Elder Wang Luo was watching, Qi Chun Jing suddenly made a move.

His thought stirred.

The two Life-Bound Characters began to release unparalleled divine might.

Boom!

The first Life-Bound Character, 'Human', appeared.

The fortune and karma exclusive to humanity were all bestowed upon it.

Not only did the human race of the Barbarian Bull Star Sea resonate with it, this aura spread toward the Mountain Ding Realm.

Humanity is not alone!

The second Life-Bound Character, 'Heaven', appeared.

A magnificent might descended, crushing the Gu Clan members.

Everyone felt a terrifying sense of oppression.

Not only were they rejected by this heaven and earth, they were even rejected by the Great Dao.

The Dao Resonance on their bodies even tried to flee!

What an audacious and strange occurrence!

Elder Wang Luo and the others stared in shock, all crying out.

"Life-Bound Character 'Heaven'?"

"How could Qi Chun Jing possibly condense such a heaven-defying Life-Bound Character?"

"We control over half of the Mountain Ding Realm, so why didn't it reject Qi Chun Jing?"

Numerous Gu Clan members were utterly baffled.

They could not accept it!

The appearance of these two Life-Bound Characters was like two huge suns crossing the sky.

It directly weakened their combat strength.

This power differs from the weakening inflicted by the Ruthless Empress.

The Ruthless Empress weakens them using her own Reincarnation Pattern.

And Qi Chun Jing acts directly from the level of the Dao!

A Life-Bound Character is not just a single character.

It is the Dao itself!

Once Qi Chun Jing grows up in the future, it's hard to imagine how strong he will become.

Even though Qi Chun Jing is only at the Dao King Realm now, he can use the Life-Bound Character to weaken their cultivation.

This is utterly unimaginable!

They originally had a thirty percent chance of victory, but now perhaps only ten percent remains.

Elder Wang Luo felt utterly frustrated.

They had expended countless resources to set up the Gu Clan's formation in the Barbarian Bull Star Sea, yet they still couldn't kill the Ruthless Empress and her allies?

Thinking of this, Elder Wang Luo snapped angrily.

"Damn, why hasn't the Yinlin Elder arrived yet?"

This voice fell!

He was struck again by the Ruthless Empress's palm.

Pfft!

Elder Wang Luo spat a mouthful of essence blood and was blown away once more.

Now he is seriously injured!

Just then.

Boom!

Crack!

The black cloud vessel piloted by the Yinlin Elder and others finally descended.

Terrifying and uncanny power, like a black tide, poured toward the starry sky, causing the originally brilliant Reincarnation Patterns to dim.

Aboard several cloud vessels were all the mighty ones of the Strange Clan!

Xuanji Holy Lord and the Yinlin Elder stood at the front, gazing forward.

The Yinlin Elder's gaze was sinister as he slightly frowned, "How could we suffer such a defeat?"

Elder Wang Luo shouted angrily, "Hurry up and attack! I've already bought you this much time!"

"I lost, but it's not that we're weak; it's that the Ruthless Empress and her allies have too many trump cards."

"They can control the Nineflame Divine Fire!"

"And there's Qi Chun Jing, who actually comprehended a second Life-Bound Character!"

Elder Wang Luo was very anxious.

But the Yinlin Elder appeared completely in control, as if everything was under his grasp, "What's there to panic about? The second Life-Bound Character is actually 'Heaven'—that's interesting."

He now holds a human skin scroll, believing he can handle everything before him.

This is a treasure of the Dao Venerate rank!

Elder Wang Luo said, "Hurry up and make a move! Don't you see Lu Xuan is here?"

Upon hearing this, the Yinlin Elder finally lost his composure.

"Lu Xuan!"

He stared fixedly at Lu Xuan, his body involuntarily stepping back one step.
