Chapter 171: My Son Wang Teng Has the Qualifications of a Great Emperor

A Void Worm Corpse is formed when a Void King Worm dies in its manifested state and, over several epochs through chance and coincidence, differentiates and condenses, drifting freely in the Void.

Void Worms are actually a kind of pest that parasitizes the rules of Heaven and Earth; they gather in numbers to gnaw on the rules, causing temporary karmic inversion and chaos in Heaven and Earth. Besides gnawing rules, a Void King Worm can even silently taint the Dao and steal the power of the Dao.

When they are not gnawing on rules, their bodies are neither void nor real nor soul; even the Heavenly Dao cannot find them. Only during the gnawing process do they reveal their soul bodies.

Jiang Xuan looked at the Void Worm Corpse in space — only the size of a pinky fingernail — yet when alive it could throw the Dao of a whole world into chaos, and the condensed Void Worm Corpse is likewise a thing sought after across the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Although the Void Worm Corpse is a dead object, it inherits most of the Void King Worm's characteristics; fused into the Sea of Consciousness it can combine with the soul, granting part of the Void King's ability to manipulate rules and the Dao, except it cannot devour the Dao to sustain itself like a living Void Worm Corpse.

The third and fourth extractions respectively yielded the blade art 【Ninefold Thunder Blade】 and a shrunken Ancient God Eye.

Jiang Xuan's brows lifted slightly; both of these extractions actually pulled items from that universe — he wondered what cultivation level Luo Feng had reached by now.

However, since the Heavens' extraction cannot obtain world coordinates, he could only speculate; and in that universe where one force breaks ten thousand laws, he would still appear rather weak.

Ninefold Thunder Blade: each swing exerts only seventy percent force, but the hidden force also releases seventy percent at full power — meaning a single swing deals 1.4 times the damage. With each layer mastered, several more stages of hidden force are added, increasing the bonus further.

But Jiang Xuan has never touched a blade; his Zhu Xian Sword Array has already forged the Immortal Trapping Sword and the Immortal Slaying Sword, so for the moment he cannot spare attention to recultivate a blade art. This Ninefold Thunder Blade can only serve as foundation accumulation.

However, the Ancient God Eye is a fine treasure. In his memory, the Ancient God Eye was cast by Zu Mountain Guest using Divine Blood, spanning tens of millions of kilometers, able to maintain peak soul intimidation strength within a hundred thousand li.

The Ancient God Eye is a crystal sphere with variegated colors on its surface, rings of light halos encircling it; ultimately these colors converge at a single central point, at first glance resembling an eyeball.

It can emit mental pressure to suppress a strong person's will, weakening their combat ability; most importantly, the Ancient God blood can autonomously absorb energy without any consumption on his part.

Fifth extraction: Red Yang Star

Seeing the extraction result, Jiang Xuan instantly sat up straight, eyes widening as he looked toward the independent space partitioned out by the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

Within, an Eternal Great Sun blazed fiercely; even with space partitioned, one could feel the soul ache. Fortunately it was only a soul probe, so he did not feel the glare stabbing his eyes.

But can this thing actually be extracted?

This is a young sun; he surely cannot release it — if he did, Beidou would be knocked out of existence the very next second.

Jiang Xuan suddenly thought of the Micro World inside his body, and sank his consciousness into it. That strand of consciousness had grown a little, but overall there was still not much visible change; it still rushed about establishing this world's rules.

Jiang Xuan's consciousness flew toward the High Sky, reaching the Micro World's boundary at less than forty thousand kilometers. A stretch of nothingness blocked the boundary; as time passed, this nothingness slowly retreated, leaving more space for the Micro World. One day he would be able to turn it into a Great World, a Micro Star System, a Micro Universe…

But this bit of distance is truly not enough right now!

Forty thousand kilometers seems far, but the Great Sun's diameter is at minimum one hundred forty thousand kilometers. The sky's gap is barely a fraction of the Great Sun's diameter.

And anyone who often transports a Great Sun knows there must be a spatial gap measured in hundreds of millions between the Great Sun and a life planet; otherwise the life planet cannot escape the fate of being roasted.

The burden is heavy and the road is long!

With a thought, Jiang Xuan arrived beside that strand of consciousness. The consciousness was integrating Life Force into this land. Although no life had yet been born, the land was gradually becoming thicker and heavier.

"How to develop faster?" Jiang Xuan sent the message over. That consciousness quickly transmitted a reply.

For a Micro World to develop rapidly, three conditions must be met: more complete world rules, more life energy, and the birth of native life!

Complete world rules can make the Micro World more solid and stable, able to bear more powerful forces. But if Jiang Xuan wants to release the Great Sun as well, the rules must at minimum condense one or two Great Daos to make the world more stable before there is any chance of releasing it.

Life capacity is undoubtedly the most fundamental thing for a planet's growth, which is why that strand of consciousness quibbles with Jiang Xuan — who also holds world control authority — because it quibbles with itself in the same way.

And the most critical key to rapid development is actually native life. Only by deriving native life does the world enter the fast lane, setting up an energy cycle where every life can involuntarily condense Life Force from nothingness!

Although both quantity and concentration have a gap of hundreds of millions of times compared to what the consciousness personally condenses, the most important thing about life is quantity — a hundred-million-fold gap can be leveled by a hundred million lives!

Jiang Xuan glanced at the Micro World's current environment: red earth for a thousand li, rivers emitting high-temperature steam, volcanoes one after another releasing core heat, the primordial atmosphere a chaos.

He slapped his forehead, feeling this life was hopeless. Recalling Earth — from this state to the oceans deriving life took 3.5 billion years. By the time 3.5 billion years passed, he feared he would already have become an immortal and lived as long as Heaven.

"Can foreign life work?"

The consciousness took a long while this time to understand Jiang Xuan's meaning. It did not comprehend: this world is entirely under his control — where would "foreign" come from?

But based on trust in Jiang Xuan as its half-master, the consciousness raised no doubts and simply answered: "Foreign life cannot possess Spirit."

"What is Spirit?"

"Spirit is Spirit!"

Jiang Xuan regained his senses, got off the carriage, casually pulled a few weeds and sent them into the Micro World.

The consciousness glanced and transmitted a resistant consciousness: "The Spirit of foreign life cannot help the world condense Life Force; instead it will absorb the world's Life Force for its own use!"

Listening to the consciousness's message, Jiang Xuan seemed to understand something. Weeds appeared in his hand out of thin air, and he had the consciousness examine them again.

The consciousness transmitted joy, indicating this grass could be laid down to promote the birth of the main body world's life.

Gaining approval, a book slowly emerged in Jiang Xuan's hand. A golden White Tower stood across the Void, the Great Sun hanging high above the White Tower.

He raised his hand; a brush appeared in his grasp. Transparent Chaos Sea liquid served as ink: "This land shall be covered by a plant that is cold-resistant and heat-resistant!"

As the writing turned transparent, endless green spread in all directions, covering the entire land. Jiang Xuan's face instantly turned deathly pale!

Seeing his divine sense about to be exhausted, Jiang Xuan hurriedly stopped the Dreaming.

At this moment the surroundings were no longer desolate; lush green grassland occupied the entire field of view.

The only difference between these grasses and the ones Jiang Xuan casually pulled off the carriage is that one species was born of that world, the other was imagined into existence by Jiang Xuan using his Dreaming ability.

Although both may possess Life Force and both can grow, the Dreamed grasses have not been marked with the Spirit by that world!

But at the same time these grasses also lack this world's Spirit. They can only improve the environment and accelerate the birth of this world's native life, yet cannot provide Life Force to the Micro World.

This also reveals some limitations of the Dreamer Authority: although he can Dream anything, in the end it is not the world's own thing. He cannot Dream true life, nor can he Dream a soul!

Everything that should be done has been done. Jiang Xuan exited the Micro World and performed the final extraction: Sword Path Fragment.

Jiang Xuan had seen this thing once before. After the system unlocked the Redeem Treasure function upon obtaining it, it could be exchanged for 150,000 Fan Value. He never expected this extraction would actually pull out this kind of thing.

For a while Jiang Xuan did not know whether he had lost or gained.

But this thing is still very useful to Jiang Xuan right now!

The Sword Path Fragment contains insights and power of the Spatial Sword Dao, just right for recasting a new sword. That way his Four Immortal Sword Array would only lack one Immortal Sword to be forged.

Once the Four Immortal Sword Array is complete, he has a premonition his attack power will rise another level.

Currently he can only wield the power of one Long Sword at a time; the other is fused inside his body to empower him, yet its characteristics cannot manifest.

When his Sword Array is complete, his attacks will simultaneously manifest all the Immortal Swords' characteristics!

Extraction complete. Jiang Xuan opened his eyes, greeted by the concerned gazes of Zi Xia and Yao Xi, one on his left and one on his right.

"What happened? Why is your face suddenly so pale!"

Jiang Xuan smiled and pulled the two close to his sides: "Just used up a bit too much spiritual power while gaining insight, it's nothing serious!"

Yao Xi naturally leaned against one side of Jiang Xuan's chest, while Zixia uncomfortably shrugged her shoulders slightly, but seeing she couldn't shake off Jiang Xuan's hand, she simply let him hold her, her face turning bright red almost instantly, head lowered as if seeking a crack in the ground.

Jiang Xuan found it amusing, his hand lightly pinching the other's waist, making Zixia lower her head even deeper, but she just wouldn't break free!

The air in the carriage grew increasingly ambiguous; Yao Xi leaned in Jiang Xuan's embrace, looking at Zixia with a charming face, her eyes carrying laughter.

Just as Jiang Xuan's arms tightened further, a dangerous aura appeared from not far away, rapidly approaching the carriage.

Jiang Xuan's brow furrowed, one arm holding each person he instantly appeared outside the carriage.

Above the Void, several Heavenly Horses stood across; the rearmost figure withdrew a long saber, letting out a light "Huh?" upon seeing the three of them.

"Turns out he's actually a cultivator, able to dodge my Demon-Subduing Saber?"

Looking at the carriage sliced into two halves, Jiang Xuan gazed at those Heavenly Horses in the sky with increasing stillness and coldness.

"What kind of look is that, brat? Not getting off the carriage to wait when our Wang Family passes, and now you actually dare stare at us!" The rearmost man shouted angrily, saber in hand he instantly appeared before Jiang Xuan.

"A Great Power dares act arrogantly!" Jiang Xuan's eyes turned cold; sensing the other's power, pitch-black flames instantly ignited on his fist wind.

This punch he threw with the determination that the other must die; although that carriage was only made of ordinary peach wood, it was a carriage the three of them made together, and the big bed Jiang Xuan arbitrarily built that the three could barely squeeze onto to lie down hadn't even officially served its purpose before it was smashed into two halves!

Uncle can't bear it, aunt can't bear it even more!

One fist against one saber!

In the sky, the leading middle-aged man who had originally looked at Jiang Xuan with indifferent eyes, sensing the aura of the black flames igniting, his eyes changed, instantly shouting loudly: "You dare!" His figure vanished in the sky above.

Jiang Xuan's cold eyes showed no fluctuation, and he collided with that saber!

Black radiance swallowed the saber radiance in an instant; endless giant force carrying bone-piercing penetrating power transmitted into the other's body along the great saber.

In just an instant the other's saber-holding arm seemed like a great tree rolled and crushed, turning into fragments and exploding open, followed immediately by chest, skull, consciousness!

At the same time, the middle-aged man who had vanished in the sky appeared in Jiang Xuan's hand, eyes full of anger: "Dare kill my Wang Family member, you die!"

"Clang!"

The other's attack landed on Jiang Xuan's body, emitting a dull sound like a bell tolling; looking again at Jiang Xuan's body, earth-yellow light circulated, he hadn't received the slightest injury at all.

The several people above seeing someone actually died, hurriedly began contacting the family!

Golden silk threads coiled around Jiang Xuan's eyeballs; the several people in the sky all stopped their movements, stiffly looking downward.

Seeing Jiang Xuan look at himself, the middle-aged man's anger had completely turned to fear; his full power strike couldn't even break defense, what's the point of fighting!

"You can't kill me! I am Wang Chengkun! My son Wang Teng has Great Emperor potential! If you kill me you'll die too!"

Jiang Xuan's killing intent paused; his biggest purpose in coming to the Northern Domain was to first settle the Wang Family, scrounge some sources to nurture the Micro World, and also save Wang Teng the trouble of seeking Ye Fan again; he didn't expect to find Wang Teng, but his father delivered himself to the door instead?

Feeling this young man's killing intent pause for a moment, Wang Chengkun's eyes instantly turned fierce, head held high: "My son is the North Emperor Wang Teng; if you're sensible, tie yourself up and obediently follow us back to the Wang Family, I might even leave you a whole corpse!"

"?"

Jiang Xuan threw a punch down; Peak Great Power Wang Chengkun already had a big hole blasted in him and lay on the ground.

A Great Power can truly use divine sense; an illusory figure ran out from the corpse, face full of ferocity and anger, roaring at the several people in the sky: "What are you all standing there dazed for! Hurry up and summon the family Saints!"

The several people merely glanced indifferently at Wang Chengkun, then continued sitting on the Heavenly Horses spacing out.

Black flames surged forth; Wang Chengkun didn't even have time to scream miserably before he was already thoroughly dead on this inconspicuous road.

Jiang Xuan's gaze swept over the people in the sky; they were only at Dragon Transformation Secret Realm cultivation, Rule Power wasn't something they could resist; at this moment their thoughts had already been stolen by Jiang Xuan, their emitted subconscious also occupied by him, bodies controlled by the "Fool's" Authority Spirit Body Threads.

Although bodies and souls were still their own, not a single thing was something they could control themselves.

Those several people rode the Heavenly Horses down, dismounted and walked a bit farther away, afraid that when they died their splattered blood would stain these several white Heavenly Horses red.

Then in unison they took out their own weapons and slowly stabbed into their own chests; from start to finish their faces showed not a ripple.

Yao Xi and Zixia stared with wide eyes at this bizarre everything; they had never seen this kind of killing method!
