Chapter 239: Wan Bao Chang He
Since the Empress proved the Dao, no one has ever achieved such a feat; this record of battle made everyone solemn.
The Emperor Venerable's power is beyond imagination.
"Puff!"
"Bang!"
The Emperor Bell shattered, and the Mother Qi Cauldron of All Things flew backward.
With a single strike, the Golden Crow Great Emperor, Ye Fan's body was shattered.
A single thread of golden light surged forth, and Jiang Xuan pulled both of them out of the battlefield.
"Is this the power of a Red Dust Immortal? It's actually terrifying to this extent!"
Ye Fan widened his eyes, his face full of incredulity.
He saw clearly that the Emperor Venerable had not yet used the All Character Secret before repelling the Empress. If the Emperor Venerable deployed the All Character Secret, the course of the battle would simply be unimaginable.
The Golden Crow Great Emperor also felt a pressure like a mountain, muttering: "Impressive! Is this the realm of becoming a Red Dust Immortal?"
Jiang Xuan looked at the Emperor Venerable, his blood boiling, and shouted loudly: "Emperor Venerable, you truly are the only Red Dust Immortal of this age!"
After speaking, he took a step and instantly entered the battlefield. At this moment, there was no need for many words; only a fight to the death remained.
"Boom—!"
Jiang Xuan unleashed a punch with all his power, the force of a hundred million jun smashing toward the Emperor Venerable. The Emperor Venerable's expression was calm, and he casually waved a palm to block.
Fist and palm met; the collision force was like Pangu's axe cleaving heaven and earth, and the chaotic mist instantly exploded and scattered.
After one strike, Jiang Xuan was as if struck by lightning, his silhouette uncontrollably retreating again and again.
The Emperor Venerable's combat power was too terrifying; even the current Jiang Xuan, compared with him, still had a huge gap.
"Heavenly Emperor!"
All spirits of the universe grieved; the Heavenly Emperor had encountered a Great Emperor, so who else could come to help the Heavenly Emperor?
The Emperor Venerable gazed at Jiang Xuan and slowly said: "You are indeed the greatest variable. In just a thousand years, you have grown to this extent; if I give you tens of thousands of years, perhaps you could truly defy the heavens."
In the Emperor Venerable's heart, even if he spared everyone present, he absolutely could not spare Jiang Xuan.
Just from this one exchange, he truly felt the fatal threat from Jiang Xuan. Jiang Xuan's growth rate was truly fast enough to be incredible.
"Defy the heavens in tens of thousands of years? You are not worthy of being called heaven! Today, I must slay you!"
Jiang Xuan steadied his silhouette, his gaze firm, and then stood side by side with the Ruthless Emperor, launching an attack on the Emperor Venerable together.
The great battle between the two top experts and the Emperor Venerable fully erupted.
This battle could be called the destruction of heaven and earth.
The entire star sky of the universe trembled violently; immortal light and chaotic qi interwove and crisscrossed, as if to tear the universe apart.
Vast stretches of star sky gradually extinguished under the impact of this terrifying power. The battle spread from the center of the universe all the way to the Universe Wasteland, and even directly killed into the Chaos Sea.
"The Emperor Venerable is still alive? How is this possible? The master of the Heavenly Court of the Mythological Era, the Emperor Venerable, has actually never fallen?"
After the news of this battle spread like thunder, all living beings in the star sky of the entire universe were shocked into a state of stunned silence.
"The Emperor Venerable neither severed himself with a single blade nor entered a Forbidden Zone; relying solely on his own strength, he has walked all the way to the present. This is truly too terrifying. Could it be that the Emperor Venerable has truly become an immortal?"
"Oh heavens, the Emperor Venerable has become an immortal! He attacked Jiang Tian Emperor and the Master of the Ancient Forbidden Zone and others to prevent other true immortals from being born in the universe. This is an immortal war, unprecedented in ancient times!"
"Shi Zhen!?" The Heaven's Pride Emperor who broke out of the seal had a face full of shock. No matter what, he never expected that his Shi Zhen would actually reappear in the world at this moment.
As the scale of this battle continued to escalate, countless living beings in the star sky of the universe fell into panic and unease.
After all, this great battle had already surpassed an ordinary emperor war; it was an immortal war.
According to historical records, even an ordinary emperor war could shatter countless star domains; let alone this unprecedented immortal war. No one knew what consequences this immortal war would ultimately bring.
The terrifying pressure constantly spreading from the Universe Wasteland made everyone feel a heavy weight on their hearts.
That pressure was like a towering mountain whose peak could not be seen, pressing heavily on everyone's heart, making them almost unable to breathe.
The Heaven's Prides who were about to prove the Dao all fell silent at this moment.
This shocking great war opened their eyes while also making them deeply realize that the so-called Great Emperors appeared so insignificant before these true powerhouses.
Even Sheng Huang Zi had to admit that even if his father was at his peak, once he approached this battlefield, he was extremely likely to be severely injured by the aftermath of the battle. These people fighting before their eyes had already transcended the scope of the human path realm; they were near-immortal level powerhouses!
Outside the Universe Wasteland, amidst the surging waves of the Chaos Sea.
Divine power wrapped in the Great Dao Laws each had comprehended swept over like a raging flood; wherever it passed, the Chaos surged with shocking waves, and countless tiny worlds were born like bubbles under this majestic power, then vanished like dreams in an instant—a strange and shocking scene.
After just a brief exchange, Jiang Xuan and the Ruthless Emperor were already covered in wounds.
The Ruthless Emperor's signature white robes were now soaked in blood, bright red and glaring, and his body was covered with shocking cracks, as if porcelain that had suffered a heavy blow and was about to shatter.
Jiang Xuan's originally tied-up long hair now hung loosely over his shoulders, with specks of blood mixed in the strands; his body had almost been split in two by the Emperor Venerable's tyrannical power, skin and flesh turned over, white bones starkly visible.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were furious; if they were a bit stronger, Jiang Xuan would not be so passive.
But they did not even have the ability to approach the battlefield.
In sharp contrast to the wretched state of Jiang Xuan and the other two, the Emperor Venerable was like one taking a leisurely stroll in the court, his expression calm and composed, not a single trace of blood on his entire body, as if this heart-stopping great war before him was nothing more than an insignificant game to him.
"War!!"
Jiang Xuan looked up and roared in anger, his voice shaking the four directions.
His black hair danced wildly, and the chaotic qi around him became increasingly violent and surging, like boiling magma.
At this moment, he had completely and unreservedly released all his magic treasures and divine powers; the surging chaotic qi spread around like a surging tide, instantly completely submerging the entire battlefield.
For a while, countless divine powers with various mysterious characteristics, like the rune brands of ancient demon gods, appeared one by one on his body, emitting a chilling aura.
At this moment, surrounding Jiang Xuan's side was a dazzling, seemingly tangible World Domain. Within the Hongmeng Realm, mountains and rivers stretched undulating, plants and trees grew vigorously, the sun and moon alternated in brilliance, and stars twinkled and circulated, as if forming an independent universe of its own, real and mysterious.
Facing an opponent like the Emperor Venerable, who could be called terrifying, only by using all his abilities could he have a glimmer of vitality.
With a deafening "Boom!!" roar, Jiang Xuan fully activated his Forbidden Realm, gathering all his strength, and fiercely struck out a palm. At the same time, the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Jin Gang Zhuo, Zhu Xian Sword Array, Zhou Tian Stars Array, and all other divine powers behind him felt their master's determination and together transformed into Wan Bao Chang He, dancing violently.
In an instant, the heavens and earth changed color; endless thunder, as if gathered by an invisible great hand, formed a vast and boundless Sea of Thunder.
Within the Sea of Thunder, lightning constantly condensed and compressed, turning into stars emitting cold light; these stars interwove and collided with each other, finally manifesting a vast, boundless, mysterious and unfathomable universe star sky.
In this star sea of the universe constructed from thunder and stars, a divine ability long river that covered the sky and blocked the sun leaped up with great effort from the depths of the star sea, carrying an unstoppable momentum, charging toward the nine heavens above.
High above in the sky, a world wrapped in the power to destroy heaven and earth suppressed downward; simultaneously, in Jiang Xuan's palm, the law power of time and space was frantically smelted and twisted, transforming into a terrifying cage that inspired awe, intending to imprison all things in the world within it.
"Hmph, there is some skill, but these methods, I have already grown tired of seeing them!!"
A trace of disdainful cold laughter appeared on Di Zun's face; facing Jiang Xuan's seemingly incomparably powerful strike, he merely unhurriedly raised his arm and swung a simple, simple punch.
"Boom—!!"
This punch smashed out, breaking the balance of the universe, triggering an unprecedented catastrophe.
In an instant, heaven collapsed and earth split; that sea of thunder condensed from lightning instantly evaporated, stars fell and shattered like raindrops.
That Wan Bao Chang He which had just been imposing and majestic, its massive body shattered into pieces like fragile paper under Di Zun's fist force.
The Hongmeng Realm also emitted a shattering sound, like a falling meteor, plummeting from the sky at extreme speed. Under the impact of this terrifying power, time and space were like a shattered mirror, torn apart; the boundaries of past, present, and future were thoroughly broken, and ancient and modern began to reverse.
The entire chaos world, as if a great building that had lost its support, fell into a terrifying great collapse.
Di Zun finally unleashed his bottom-of-the-box forbidden secret art — the All Character Secret.
Once this secret art appeared, Di Zun's power instantly gained a tenfold amplification. At this moment, he was like an indifferent, ruthless god of destruction; his face held not a shred of expression, merely simply throwing a punch, yet causing the entire universe to tremble and collapse.
Under the impact of this terrifying power, Jiang Xuan had no power to fight back. Before Di Zun's fist force, he was like fragile cicada wings, shattering in an instant.
Jiang Xuan himself was struck by this punch, like a cannonball knocked flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of fresh blood, his body flying backward uncontrollably.
At the critical moment of Jiang Xuan's life hanging by a thread, Ye Fan, Sheng Huang Zi, purple mist Yao Xi hurriedly rushed over, attempting to join forces to intercept Di Zun.
However, Di Zun's power was far, far beyond their imagination.
For the crowd who had not yet become immortals, Di Zun was like an insurmountable high mountain; their obstruction before Di Zun appeared so tiny, so powerless.
In a moment, everyone suffered severe injuries.
Even the Ruthless Emperor, who had always possessed outstanding combat power and was closest to the Red Dust Immortal realm, could not withstand Di Zun's terrifying attack, was beaten until he vomited large mouthfuls of blood, his face pale as paper.
Universe Wasteland, in the Chaos Sea, fierce battle was in full swing. Jiang Xuan, Ruthless Emperor, and Di Zun fought a death struggle.
Two against one, yet still steadily suppressed by Di Zun.
The tragic intensity of this battle exceeded imagination.
Those unsealed from divine sources, the heaven's prides from the Nine Heavens, could only hide far away behind the chaos, panic-stricken and awestruck, not daring to approach.
Sheng Huang Zi widened his eyes, opened Huang Zi, attempting to see the battlefield clearly. His voice trembled, full of shock.
Huo Lin Er was also startled by the bloody scenes occasionally revealed in the chaos cracks, murmuring: "Bone fragments, that is the Female Emperor's... just how tragic is this battle!!" Just this one glance already let one feel the cruelty of the battle.
Zhang Bai Ren likewise had a face full of shock, muttering to himself: "So this is true immortal strength? Di Zun is actually this strong?" Since ancient times, successive Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors have all claimed to be able to "go against the current and attack immortals."
But now, before the immortal-achieved Di Zun, the two heaven-emperor-level powerhouses Jiang Tian Di and Ruthless Tian Di were both blood-stained on the spot, with no power to fight back.
The so-called "go against the current and attack immortals" instantly became a joke.
In the depths of the Chaos Sea, the battle grew increasingly fierce.
In an instant, Jiang Xuan's aura suddenly changed. Terrifying battle intent, like a blazing raging fire, burned and brewed within his body. Following his meridians, it rapidly spread to the Wan Bao Chang He. The long river's light flourished greatly; battle intent and the power of the divine rings fused, granting Jiang Xuan terrifying combat power.
The battle reached a white-hot stage; Jiang Xuan pushed his battle intent to the limit. Surging battle intent like raging waves transformed into terrifying amplification, injected into the Hongmeng Realm.
He faintly saw the possibility of breaking through his cultivation realm, advancing one step further.
The desperate battle not only did not make Jiang Xuan afraid, but instead ignited his hot blood.
Every collision, he felt his own limits being broken through. As the battle continued, he grew increasingly excited, his gaze fiery; an unprecedented exhilaration spread in his heart.
Jiang Xuan's accumulated one-life law foundation, the countless magic treasure dao patterns in the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror, and the gains from the creation tribulation, were integrating into his own cultivation system at an astonishing speed. His strength was growing every moment.
"War!!"
Jiang Xuan suddenly let out a heaven-shaking battle roar; in an instant, his whole body shone with dazzling light, incomparably brilliant. Especially that Wan Bao Chang He bloomed with endless great dao profound mysteries; myriad heavens phenomena appeared in succession.
The Eight Trigrams Furnace was entirely crimson red; runes flickered on the furnace body; nine lifelike golden dragons coiled around it; rolling heat waves swept across the four directions; wherever they reached, space was scorched into twisted deformation.
The Zhu Xian Sword Array's sword shadows crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, forming an impenetrable sword net, revealing endless killing intent. The Jin Gang Zhuo spun round and round, releasing rings of dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun hanging high.
When the Heaven Execution Axe waved, it emitted bursts of thunder-like howling, bringing forth a black crack that tore space.
Within the Nine Bends Yellow River Array, mist pervaded; the nine bends passages inside the array crisscrossed horizontally and vertically, like a maze.
"What!?"
Seeing this result, the Divine Sovereign's expression changed instantly.
The opponent's combat power actually faintly surpassed his own?
In his own specialty of combat power amplification, he was actually going to be defeated? And to someone whose cultivation realm was inferior to his own!
"He actually blocked the Divine Sovereign's attack?"
Ye Fan and Pang Bo and the others were filled with shock in their inner hearts, simply unable to believe what they saw before their eyes.
Ye Fan's eyes were full of admiration, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The first time I've seen Jiang Xuan's such marvelous Forbidden Realm, actually able to grow stronger the more he fights! As expected of him, he actually managed to create such an exquisite secret art."
The secret art Jiang Xuan found was truly stunning.
Besides shock and admiration, Ye Fan and the others inevitably felt worry.
Jiang Xuan's secret art, its combat power amplification surpassing the Divine Sovereign's All Character Secret, most likely concealed risks behind it. Perhaps he himself had to bear an immense burden, or perhaps the conditions for use were extremely harsh, far worse than the All Character Secret.
Even so, Ye Fan and the others still breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the Divine Sovereign, Jiang Xuan and them were no longer powerless to fight back, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.
In this great war, even if they ultimately won, Jiang Xuan and the Ruthless Emperor would at least lose who knows how much lifespan.
"Fight!!"
Jiang Xuan once again emitted a heaven-shaking battle cry; in an instant, his whole body radiated dazzling light, brilliant beyond compare. Especially the Wan Bao Chang He bloomed with endless Great Dao profundities, and numerous celestial phenomena appeared one after another.
The Eight Trigrams Furnace was entirely red; runes flickered on its body, nine lifelike golden dragons coiled around it, rolling heat waves swept in all directions, wherever they reached, space was scorched into twisted deformation.
The Zhu Xian Sword Array's sword shadows crisscrossed, forming an impenetrable sword net, revealing endless killing intent. The Jin Gang Zhuo spun around, emitting circles of dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun hanging high.
When the Heavenly Punishment Axe waved, it emitted thunderous howls, bringing forth a black rift that tore through space,
Inside the Nine Curves Huang He Array, mist permeated; the nine curves passages inside crisscrossed, like a labyrinth.
The Eight Trigrams Furnace's fierce flames lunged at the Immortal Sword Array; sword shadows flickered in the sea of fire yet showed not the slightest fear, instead slashing and extinguishing the flames one after another. The Jin Gang Zhuo spun rapidly, shooting toward the Heaven Execution Axe, attempting to absorb it. The Heaven Execution Axe showed no fear either, sweeping out violently — a single powerful axe beam slashed at the Jin Gang Zhuo; the two collided, emitting an earth-shaking boom, and the tremendous shockwave made the surrounding space tremble violently.
The entire chaotic Void teetered on the brink of collapse, liable to crumble at any moment. Every single Magic Treasure and divine ability displayed its formidable might in this battle.
All of these were genuine, undisputed visions; within the visions, countless Dao Patterns appeared faintly. Each vision was like a terrifying Immortal Path grand array, exuding power that pierced heaven and earth.
Boundless visions encircled his body; Jiang Xuan's aura soared like a rainbow, and he engaged the Emperor in an even fiercer great war. In a split second, heaven and earth collapsed, ghosts wept and wolves howled, the Great Dao roared, Laws interwove, Qian Kun heaved violently, as if Chaos were about to reopen.
The great war continued to escalate; by this stage even Ye Fan could see that Jiang Xuan had surely gained brand-new insight in battle, and his combat power had achieved a massive leap.
