Chapter 654 - 653: Bombard and Kill, The World Core

"As you can see, a completely ordinary human."

Li Jing spoke indifferently, his figure vanishing abruptly.

Cang Tian was startled when he saw this.

He.

Was unable to track Li Jing’s movement.

In his perception.

The latter seemed to have disappeared as well.

This speed...

Cang Tian glanced around in shock, his body shuddering abruptly.

That’s not right!

It’s space manipulation!

However, by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Li Jing tore the void and appeared near Cang Tian’s face.

At the same time, a punch imbued with a violent blood qi exceeding the boundaries of the Immortal Realm hit his abdomen.

Cang Tian, as domineering as he was, grunted and froze in place from the punch, then he was sent soaring into the air, smashing the void, and fell into nothingness.

After all, he is the master of the old world.

Despite the unexpected blow, he lost only a little bit of health.

Li Jing’s punch.

In terms of power, was actually much stronger than Ye Mengyao’s all-out strike.

However, without the power of sentient beings’ wishes, it is difficult to cause actual damage to Cang Tian.

Of course.

Li Jing did not expect Cang Tian to be defeated with just one punch, nor did he expect him to lose a lot of health.

From start to finish.

His philosophy was simple.

As long as damage can be dealt, just go for it!

He stomped on the ground, breaking the sturdy, undamaged floor of the Ghostly Returning Ruins, and charged into the void wielding the overwhelming blood qi.

In just an instant.

He caught up with Cang Tian, who was plummeting helplessly into the depths of the void.

"Woo!"

A buzzing sound, similar to a ghost howling, came out from the Unnamed Taoist Tool in his hand as it swept out.

At this moment.

Cang Tian suddenly lifted his eyes, and roared out.

"Insect! Don’t get too cocky!"

In an instant.

The six tentacles on Cang Tian’s back turned forward in an electrifying motion, Li Jing saw this and his expression tightened, instead of acting rashly, he switched from attacking to blocking.

The six tentacles on Cang Tian’s back were not just for show.

Even though Li Jing couldn’t figure out what they were hiding, being able to withstand the complete Heavenly Path was not ordinary.

Keep in mind.

Even Cang Tian himself.

Suffered damage when he was first hit by the Heavenly Path.

It was these six tentacles that enabled him to make a successful defense.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang.

Li Jing was sent flying backwards.

Who knows what extraordinary power these six tentacles hold, they are not only incredibly powerful but also extremely heavy.

In the blink of an eye.

Li Jing, who was blasted off, had returned to the Ghostly Returning Ruins from the depths of the void.

During this process.

The chaotic properties of the void didn’t even affect him.

Normally.

He should have fallen deeper into the void, not return the way he came.

After skidding tens of thousands of metres backwards on the ground and stabilizing his body, Li Jing looked up, his brows furrowed.

Cang Tian’s tentacles.

They seem to contain a power that is unaffected by the void?

As if confirming his guess, Cang Tian, who was also driven deeper into the void during the collision, suddenly stopped in the air as if he was in normal space.

In the next instant.

He was back inside the Ghostly Returning Ruins.

Suddenly seeing this, Li Jing narrowed his eyes.

Cang Tian having the ability to return from the void did not surprise him.

What surprised him was.

Cang Tian did not seem to move out of the void through any normal means.

Instead, it was as if the supposedly infinite void had suddenly become an impenetrable plane, driving him from the depths of the void to the surface in an instant, returning him to where he started.

Is it a rule?

It is unlikely.

The rules of the void only exist in the void.

Not to mention Cang Tian, the master of the old world, even the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist cannot control the rules of the void.

Besides, controlling the rules of the void and being immune to the effects of the void are two different things.

Taking the example of the Flying Sword Blue Edge.

Even though it can control the rules of the void, the things it can do in the void are still limited, and this rule mainly applies in spaces outside the void.

So.

What exactly is it?

Li Jing was deep in thought.

The rest were simple.

Importantly, from the one direct collision he had just had, he had already understood.

If he doesn’t deal with these six mysterious and powerful tentacles, he will find it hard to inflict further damage on Cang Tian, regardless of his own combat power.

In this battle.

He needs to conclude it quickly.

The more time drags on, the less favorable the situation will be for him.

The reason is simple.

At this point, he has exceeded the limit that the Immortal Realm can accommodate.

Had Cang Tian not broken the mystery of heaven and granted him the title of Big World’s Watcher, he might have already been forcibly sent to the Upper Three Realms or another space level.

Now.

He barely remains.

The effect of Blood Rage continues to be in effect, and it is constantly rising.

Along with this, the Immortal Realm’s rejection for him becomes stronger and stronger.

It won’t be long.

Even though he has a close connection with the Big World as the Big World’s Watcher, he will be involuntarily sent to other space levels, unable to continue his stay in the Big World.

If he wants to come back, he will have to dispel the Blood Rage.

But by the time he is in the Immortal Realm, he may not have the power to fight with Cang Tian, let alone when he returns from the Little Universe to find the Ghostly Returning Ruins again, Cang Tian would have already gone somewhere else.

Not knowing what to do, Cang Tian, who had returned from the void space, stared coldly at him.

"Worm, you are strong, you’re the only Watcher I’ve seen who can forcibly exceed the natural limits of the Big World. But to kill me, you’re far from enough."

In saying so, the six tentacles behind Cang Tian suddenly straightened out behind his back.

Followed by.

A piece of spatial domain slowly stretched open behind him with the tips of the tentacles as the pivot point.

There.

Is a desolate, grey, and dead world.

In the view.

All is yellow soil.

The domain only presents a small part, but it gives Li Jing a peculiar feeling.

As if on the other end of the domain.

There is a Big World that is no different from the one he is currently in.

This.

Has nothing to do with a person’s independent world.

Without giving it much thought, Li Jing knew for sure.

Even if the three God Emperors from the Upper Three Realms have come down and shown their independent worlds that have evolved into universes almost indistinguishable from the Big World, there is no chance they could collide with it.

As Cang Tian’s domain opened, Li Jing was swallowed up by the Ghostly Returning Ruins.

Looking around at the dull world full of yellow soil, Li Jing stood still and spoke in a daze.

"If I’m not wrong, that must be the old world you once ruled over?"

Seeing that the other party had fallen into his domain and stopped, Cang Tian smirked.

"Good eyes, this is indeed the vast world I once inhabited. For true transcendence, I personally destroyed and refined it, crushing the Heavenly Path and incorporating it into my own possession."

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth raise.

"With your keen sight, you can see the difference between the Big World and the Mini Worlds created by worms like you. From this, you would understand how different the true heaven is from worms like yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Jing took a deep breath and murmured to himself.

"Old guy, you said you didn’t offer it to me, but from the beginning, you had everything figured out, haven’t you?"

?

Cang Tian.

Before he could savor his words, Li Jing looked up, stretched out his hand, and a delicate black tablet floated up in the air slowly.

Cang Tian was first taken aback, then his color changed.

"The Zhenshi Tablet!?"

"You have good eyes."

Li Jing grinned, returning his words to him.

At the same time.

The Zhenshi Tablet suddenly grew larger, standing tall, and upright.

The next second.

Everything in the entire old world, as if frozen, completely stopped.

The wind and sand, which seemed distinctly violent in the generally yellow world, were completely frozen as if the pause button had been pressed.

Cang Tian immediately lost his composure.

As Li Jing had predicted.

In the rule-lacking Immortal Realm, he was also limited.

If it had been an ordinary cultivator.

That person would undoubtedly not be his match.

No matter how strong.

However, at this moment, the one he’s facing isn’t an ordinary cultivator, but Li Jing, who has completely broken through the restrictions of the Big World...

Cang Tian’s power is far beyond what it looks like.

If this were the Upper Three Realms.

Without any restrictions, Li Jing would have no chance of being his opponent.

The problem is...

This is not the Upper Three Realms.

What’s more, lethal...

He doesn’t have the ability to break the restrictions of the Big World like Li Jing does.

Looking at Li Jing and then at the Zhenshi Tablet, which has already completed the suppression, Cang Tian tried to keep calm.

"I’ve thought about it carefully, there’s no need for you and me to fight to the death. Why not just let it go? When it’s over, I’ll leave the vast world that you’ve guarded?"

"Do I look like a fool who would let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Li Jing tilts his head.

"So, you’re saying there is no room for negotiation?"

Cang Tian squinted.

Without responding, Li Jing vanished into thin air, holding the Unnamed Taoist Tool, and appeared in front of him in a instant.

Cang Tian saw this and his eyes narrowed, he decisively retreated.

But Li Jing was faster.

"Ugh!"

The ferocious Unnamed Taoist Tool was thrust out straight, and a stick stabbed Cang Tian in the face, immediately shattering his face.

Teeth flew off.

Eyeballs scattered.

"Worm!"

Cang Tian got furious.

However, but that was just a helpless rage of impotence.

Li Jing held the stick with one hand, his blood Qi surged, and he swung the Unnamed Taoist Tool in his hand in the simplest and most unadorned way.

"Ugh!"

Cang Tian’s skull was cracked open.

"Ugh!"

Cang Tian’s ribs were shattered, with large chunks of flesh torn and flung out.

"Ugh!"

One of Cang Tian’s arms was brutally torn apart by the unnamed Taoist tool, which was actually a wolf-tooth club.

"Ugh!"

The robust unnamed Taoist tool was thrust towards Cang Tian’s rear...

Then the traumatized Spirit Weapon Wuming erupted with its annihilating capabilities, shattering Cang Tian down the middle.

"Tsk."

Li Jing smacked his lips.

...

Unlike ordinary cultivators, Cang Tian had no cultivation to rely on. He was just a rather unique existence.

The identity of the old world’s ruler granted him immense power.

But all of this came from the old world that birthed and evolved him.

The old world, which was the source of his power, was being suppressed as a whole. He still had some power left, but how could he compare to Li Jing, who had broken through the limits of the Big World?

With the old world suppressed, he could not even use his six tentacles at his back...

The Big World, fundamentally different from the individual world each person opens, as Cang Tian claimed to have refined it, making it his own independent world.

But that was not exactly true.

The old world did have the characteristics of an independent world, but could not truly exist as such.

His back tentacles reflected his connection with the old world.

With the suppression of the old world, his tentacles became completely useless, only maintained intact but useless.

As should be.

This bout of a man going against the savior of the world turned into a one-sided thrashing.

Li Jing’s onslaught, as fierce as a storm, never ceased, continuously pounding any maneuverable part of Cang Tian’s body, rapidly depleting his health bar above his head.

Even though his attacks weren’t backed by the power of all living beings, each blow of his could reduce only a sliver of Cang Tian’s health bar.

But his attacks were fast, and his control of power was precise beyond comparison.

Every hit was accurately dealt without destroying Cang Tian’s body, which would only delay the fight while waiting for Cang Tian to reform his body.

At the same time, he did not give Cang Tian any chance to catch his breath.

After five minutes of continuous beating, Cang Tian’s health bar was nearly depleted.

Cang Tian didn’t know that Li Jing saw his health bar, but he knew very well that he couldn’t take any more...

He was about to die.

Seeing Li Jing who was relentlessly beating him pause, as if sensing something, his violent and ever-escalating blood Qi converging toward his Taoist tool Wuming, Cang Tian, who was as battered as a torn doll, quickly spoke out.

"Wait! Spare me! I can tell you the real way to transcend the universe!"

Li Jing paused at the words.

"Transcending the universe?"

Seeing that Li Jing had stopped, Cang Tian couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Jing scoffed.

"What would be the point of that?"

Before Cang Tian could respond, he waved indifferently.

"Boom!"

The brutal club of Taoist tool Wuming, imbued with unparalleled Blood Qi, tore apart the success and completely shattered Cang Tian.

"Essence Source +1256932494."

"Level up, 653. Chaos Qi strength +1306, Skill Points +2."

"Level up, 654. Chaos Qi strength +1308, Skill Points +2."

"Level up, 655. Chaos Qi strength +1310, Skill Points +2."

With successive prompts popping out, Li Jing took a deep breath.

At that moment.

"Rumble" a rolling thunder roared within the old world.

Bloody rain started falling silently.

Soon.

The entire old world, like a slowly shattering mirror, began to show cracks in heaven and earth, and finally exploded with a "boom".

Li Jing was back in the Immortal Realm.

But then...

A crack appeared behind him, and a pull from it, too strong for him to resist, was felt.

Li Jing frowned slightly, but did not try to resist.

He was going to be transported away.

Yet there was no issue.

With the existence of the Little Universe, he could come back at any time.

Just as he was about to be suck into the crack, a frail figure quietly appeared and pulled him back.

?

As Li Jing looked up.

He saw the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist.

Meeting Li Jing’s gaze, the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist smiled.

"So? You want to go upstairs and see?"

"Not really."

Li Jing shrugged, as he dismissed the effect of Blood Rage, and rapidly subsided his Blood Qi.

The Big World’s Heavenly Taoist saw this and smiled lightly.

"The Upper Three Realms are not a good place to go. With your current strength, while you may be unmatched in the Big World here, yet once you go up there..."

Before the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist could finish speaking, Li Jing smiled.

"I know, you’ve got my back down here, but once I go up, things won’t be as easy."

The Big World’s Heavenly Taoist blinked her radiant eyes twice, smiled, and made no denial. She looked at the still crumbling old world, then turned back with a coy smile.

"You’ve done well. Should I swoop in and collect some leftovers?"

As she asked this, she didn’t wait for Li Jing’s consent before reaching into the shattered old world and pulling out a sparkling, transparent orb that looked like a glass bead. She placed it in the palm of her hand.

"..."

Li Jing.

The Big World’s Heavenly Taoist turned back.

"Want to know what this is?"

Li Jing nodded quickly.

"It’s the World Core, the bedrock upon which the vast universe naturally manifests and exists."

The Big World’s Heavenly Taoist delicately parted her lips and explained.

"It is of no use to you, but for the existing Big World, it is a precious nurturing resource."

As she was speaking, she gently pinched it.

The World Core was instantly crushed into dust, scattering between heaven and earth.

At that very moment.

The Big World that Li Jing perceived changed. It became whole.

Yes.

It became whole.

Previously, he didn’t have any particular feeling, but at this instant, he was certain that the original Big World had been incomplete.

The rules that the Immortal Realm had not been able to fulfill for a hundred years were completed at this moment, and the aura of immortality filling the entire Immortal Realm instantly increased by a notch.

The limit was still there.

But the limit of the Immortal Realm had become the threshold of the Immortal King.

The changes caused by the completion of the Big World were far more than that.

After all, the Immortal Realm itself is just a corner of the vast Big World.

But more changes.

Li Jing couldn’t feel them clearly.

The only two things he could feel were.

At the moment when the Big World was completed, it acquired a power similar to the collective will of all beings.

This power was incredibly strong.

Like Cang Tian a moment ago.

One strike would be enough to kill him.

But this power can only be used when the Big World is threatened.

Cang Tian.

Didn’t qualify.

Because he didn’t pose a threat to the Big World at all.

If possible, Li Jing didn’t hope to ever have to utilize this power.

Looking at the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist, Li Jing asked with an odd tone.

"Did you... stand by waiting?"

"You’re overthinking."

The Big World’s Heavenly Taoist shook her head and said.

"Although the World Core is precious, it will not change the fact that I cannot interfere with situations other than the normal operation of the Big World."

As she said this, she gave a meaningful smile.

"I’m just lucky. It happened to coincide with the time when my Watcher showed mercy to all beings and beat an old world master to death. Isn’t that expected?"

"..."

Li Jing.

He felt

That she was bullshitting. She must have had this planned out in advance.

But he had no proof...

Rolling his eyes and not wanting to continue the argument, Li Jing asked another question.

"So, why was the Big World incomplete?"

"That’s a long story."

Said the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist in a soft tone.

"You should have realized by now that the Big World is not the only one."

At her words, Li Jing nodded subconsciously.

He was indeed aware of this.

Because he had traveled through time.

Earth does not belong to the Big World, but to another parallel space.

He had imagined at the time.

The parallel space that Earth was in is a Big World. However, it was not as perfect as the one he had traveled to. As a result, there would occasionally be ascensions to this Immortal Realm.

A one-time incident could be chalked to an error in ascension.

If it happens time and time again, that can no longer be considered a coincidence.

Over there.

There probably weren’t places for the ascended to stay...

Just as the Big World wanted to send him away moments ago.

The power of Earth’s ascendants was too strong for the Big World they resided in and it could not contain them.

As he waited for the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist to continue, she gave another charming smile.

"Since you’re already aware, I don’t need to elaborate further. You humans have fantasized a lot about the collisions between interstellar civilizations. If you think along those lines, you’ll understand."

Before her voice had fallen, she disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Jing tugged at the corner of his mouth.

This lady, comes and goes as she pleases.

She even picked up the treasure he had obtained from the monster kill during their meeting. She really had no sense of propriety!

But he was helpless in this matter.

Leaving aside the fact that she is the Big World’s Heavenly Taoist and he couldn’t control her,

having become the Watcher of the Big World, it seemed that protecting the Heavenly Tao was part of his duties now.

This.

Was the mission he had been given.

How could one temper one’s temperament in the face of that?
