Chapter 658: Breakthrough Freely

Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, Layer 5...

Layer after layer of sky was continuously traversed before Dao Qiankun, layer after layer of worlds surged beneath his feet.

Accompanied by the riots of the Finance Department, the Demon Cult, and the Evil Gods, Dao Qiankun saw layer after layer of sky stained red by the towering flames.

He saw the once-obscure, hardworking students let out roars and turn into raging beasts rampaging everywhere.

He saw cities emit heartrending cries, skyscraping buildings collapse, palaces atop clouds fall, and countless resplendent pavilions and towers reduced to ruins amid the battles of cultivators.

He saw countless assets burning, turning to ash, reflecting the desperate faces of the wealthy.

He saw death truly descend upon the world, saw the souls of countless cultivators never enter the spirit realm, vanishing in terror into the material world.

He saw Nascent Soul cultivators let out furious roars, their twisted primordial spirits triggering a financial tsunami, like beasts in their death throes, madly battering the six layers of the world that were like a cage.

As Dao Qiankun trod upon the void, crossing the boundary heavens step by step, step by step arriving at the highest place above the heavens, blood and tears continuously fell from the layers of worlds beneath his feet, and trails of ash fell toward the lower realms.

Lifting his head, Dao Qiankun looked at the endless sky that was like a black abyss.

He seemed to see an immensely majestic figure in that sky, standing at the pinnacle of the Sixth Layer, shielding the layers of worlds below behind him.

That figure slightly turned his head, and his gaze collided with Dao Qiankun's gaze.

After exchanging a glance, a trace of sorrow flickered across Dao Qiankun's face, and he transformed into a streak of light, merging with dozens of other streaks of light as they plunged completely into the Sixth Layer world.

At the same time, the rate of virtualization of the entire Sixth Layer world accelerated again, as if a brand-new world, a future with infinite possibilities, gradually emerged before Dao Qiankun's eyes, causing him to unconsciously open his arms and embrace forward.

That figure glanced at Dao Qiankun and the other streaks of light that had fallen into the Sixth Layer, then turned his head once more to face his own front.

"Ying Xintian..."

Above the Nine Heavens, a female voice descended: "You have already lost. Is there anything else you have to say?"

The man did not speak; he simply closed his eyes, allowing the endless immortal light to shine upon his body, continuously tearing and shattering his body, ceaselessly... devouring it!

Flesh and blood of arms infused with dense immortal essence were continuously torn and swallowed; blood droplets containing the radiance of the sun were fought over and devoured; skin and flesh containing the might of immortal artifacts were stripped inch by inch and contended for.

"Eat up..."

The man grinned and said slowly, "If you haven't had your fill, then have another helping!"

With his backward shout, it was as if a hundred thousand suns lit up above the Nine Heavens, then were detonated.

That was countless assets belonging to him, scattered across every layer of Kunxu.

The next moment, countless long-awaited powerful forces, taking form as tangible or intangible sacred radiances, yet like the most primitive, most greedy, most ravenous Taotie beasts, madly devoured everything of his.

The man watching all this said slowly, "Today, I return to you everything this Demon Realm has given me."

"Look at yourselves now—in pursuit of profit, in order to grow stronger, to not fall behind your rivals... Even if the world below is collapsing, you still have to grab the good stuff first..."

"Is this the purpose of your cultivation for immortality?"

No one answered, only the devouring of the man's various powers became even more frenzied and rapid, as if afraid of eating less than others next.

The next moment, amid wild laughter, the man erupted with his ultimate power, swinging his broken body, striking blow after blow toward the sky.

The black sky was gradually torn open; the Sixth Layer world flickered constantly, as if about to vanish from everyone's sight in the next moment.

Above the Nine Heavens, the female voice came again: "Ying Xintian, you have scattered all your cultivation, lost your entire fortune, your body is dead, your clan extinct—all for a mere instant of time to a bunch of vermin. Was it worth it?"

The man said indifferently, "I chose to do this simply because I wanted to."

"If I did not pay such a price, how could I seize a sliver of opportunity from your hands?"

"As for whether it was worth it or not, I no longer have the heart to discern."

"Immortality and indestructibility, or ruling the world, or being without karma or flaw, with infinite cultivation... Perhaps these ambitions and desires can manipulate you, can propel Kunxu, but they cannot change my intention at this moment."

The next moment, a blinding light burst from the sky of the Sixth Layer, illuminating all the layers of worlds below.

When the light gradually faded, amid the bewildered gazes of countless people, the sky of the Sixth Layer had vanished without a trace, leaving only a man's voice falling like rolling thunder, spreading in all directions.

"Break through freely!"

"Break through to Foundation Establishment, break through to Core Formation, break through to Nascent Soul, break through to Nascent Soul, and charge above Nascent Soul!"

"From now on, no Heavenly Court or sect can stop you anymore!"

"Three years later, I will come back, come back to take you all away…"

……

At the same time.

Just as the Sixth Layer of Kunxu completely disappeared, just before the connection between the Heavenly Court, the sects, and the lower realm was severed entirely.

A piece of information had already fallen into the lower realm, traveled through the spirit network, and landed within everyone's eye sockets.

Inside the university city of Wanfa University.

The Magnetic Pole True Lord slowly opened his eyes and looked at the information before him.

"Within two years, the Heavenly Court will reopen the connection between Layers 5 and 7."

And this was only the unified message from the Heavenly Court that ordinary people could receive.

In addition, every teacher and student of Wanfa University also received other additional messages.

The Magnetic Pole True Lord's gaze shifted slightly, and he thought to himself: "Within these two years, I am to temporarily act as the principal of Wanfa University?"
