After all, the Ark of Creation, this treasure of merit, is no longer a treasure of merit of this era; the will of this world is not on the Ark of Creation.
Even with the Ship of Creation half destroyed, severing the tail of the Immortal God-King is not a loss.
Jiang Liu himself, though still hidden deep within Emperor Qian Yang Pan's body, clearly felt that in the fierce battle just now, his life force seemed to be swept into an unknown space-time. His entire being, both mind and body, was completely annihilated. He even felt the destruction of countless eras and the demise of the Primordial Calamity, all imprinted on his body and in his mind.
In other words, he survived countless cosmic cataclysms in that instant.
Each scale on the Immortal God King's tail reveals a vast world, like land, suspended in the center of the universe, and the explosion of each scale is equivalent to the destruction of that vast world.
How powerful is this force?
Although Hong Yi shared some of this formidable power, it's important to know that Xu Yi, who also possessed Pan Huang's Yang God Thoughts, exerted all his strength, unleashing an extremely terrifying power using Pan Huang's Yang God Thoughts as a weapon.
These multiple forces intertwined and amplified Jiang Liu's body, causing immense damage that no one could predict. However, one thing was certain: if this force were to collide with the Creator, the Creator would certainly perish instantly, leaving not even ashes behind.
Jiang Liu glanced down at the physical body; Emperor Qian Yang Pan's body was already in a terrible state. Yang Pan's physical body was not strong; he cultivated based on his divine soul, so naturally he could not withstand this terrifying power. His physical body had completely necrotized. If Jiang Liu hadn't been parasitizing his body and protecting it with his ever-changing strength, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.
The four supreme beings fought with all their might.
A ruler of an ancient god-king, a founder of the Yi Dao, a leader of the central world, and a celestial being who traverses countless realms.
This all-out collision was earth-shattering.
However, judging from the situation, the Immortal God-King was more seriously injured, because his tail was broken off, which was a shocking sight.
Since he lacked a divine artifact to protect him and could not use the main stele of the Immortal Monument, he only had an immortal physical body, and it was a body that was already on the verge of decay.
In the midst of this battle, the eight ministers of the Central World, Xu Wuyi, Gou Li God King, Huang Shen... all felt the storm of destruction sweeping across the Great Thousand Worlds. They all unleashed their power to suppress and resist the aftershocks, lest the city gates catch fire and the innocent bystanders be caught in the crossfire.
That's why the four of them clashed, bringing everyone else's fight to a halt.
Just moments ago, the battle was raging fiercely, but suddenly it fell silent. All that could be seen was the tail of the Immortal God-King leaping in the void, disrupting the space, and no one could get close.
"It hurts so much!"
After a frenzied roar, the Immortal God King's horns, which resembled those of a deer, a dragon, a sheep, and a rhinoceros, shook violently in pain, and the enormous "Dao" character was already incomplete.
Gazing at the still terrifying severed tail, the future ruler's nine divine eyes simultaneously focused on it. A blue lotus suddenly bloomed in his hand, and he slashed towards the severed tail...
This severed tail contains the true power of an immortal god-king; obtaining it is enough to allow a peak human immortal to break through to the realm of flesh and blood. In Jiang Liu's hands, it can play an even greater role.
He wants to use this to understand the mystery of shattering the vacuum!
Chapter 487 A Battle That Turns the World Upside Down (Part 5)
"Flesh and blood give rise to life, returning to themselves! The world is destroyed, a cycle begins!"
After a brief lull in the battle, the Immortal God King did not stop. He chanted a deep, ancient hymn from the beginning of time, a hymn of the gods and demons, containing themes of destiny, order, hope, glory, holiness, and so on, all brimming with vitality.
Although it was led by an ancient demon god, there was not a trace of demonic sound in this chant; all the notes were sacred, noble, thriving, and filled with the free spirit of all things competing in the heavens.
From this chanting, Hong Yi, as the founder of the Yi Dao and the controller of the Dao in this era, suddenly had a feeling that the "Immortal God King" was the "orthodox" one in this era of the Great Thousand World.
"In this vast world, the will of Heaven in this era was originally for all creatures to compete freely. Humans, dragons, beasts, birds, fish... each had their own survival, their own reproduction and development, their own civilizations. However, the Great Emperor of Longevity and Emperor Pan defied Heaven's will, causing humanity to flourish, thereby extinguishing the civilizations and reproductions of all other living beings. I am the embodiment of the Dao, in control of the balance of life. Today, I have been reborn to suppress the civilization of humanity and support all living beings to compete freely! This is the true orthodoxy of Heaven and Earth, the true great order..."
During this chanting, the Immortal God-King suddenly began to speak slowly.
His words were clear and pure, but time seemed to stand still as he spoke. The notes he had just sung created a terrifying force field that suppressed and distorted everything.
Within this terrifying force field, the tail that Jiang Liu had severed at the cost of the "Ark of Creation" was gradually moving closer to the Immortal God King, attempting to reconnect to his body.
Having finally managed to severely injure the Immortal God King, Jiang Liu naturally couldn't tolerate his recovery. This severed tail was far more precious than the "ginseng fruit."
Now that Jiang Liu had no need to hide, he instantly used a small bronze cauldron to suppress the enemy.
Compared to the "Ark of Creation", "Hall of Saints", and "Immortal Monument", Jiang Liu's bronze cauldron is no less impressive, and is even stronger in battle.
The cauldron stood firm in the void, and the severed tail, which was about to return to the Immortal God King's body, suddenly paused and fell back into the cauldron. No matter how the Immortal God King summoned it, it could not be shaken in the slightest.
"You want to seal my flesh and blood?" The Immortal God King pointed at the bronze cauldron, and a mass of chaotic energy surged out.
He now appears to be seriously injured and can no longer display the majestic power that nearly shattered the "Ark of Creation" with a single tail.
However, he was not alone, and Xu Yi naturally would not allow the severed tail to fall into Jiang Liu's hands.
Panhuang's divine thoughts instantly enveloped him.
At the same time, in that very instant, a loud cry of a crane suddenly arose, and the sound of the pines rippled like waves.
Void One had already pounced forward without any hesitation, its target being the severed tail of the Immortal God King.
With a sudden change in form, the person resembled neither a crane nor a pine tree, dancing gracefully around them, causing hundreds of branches to sway. Clearly, one could see a forest of undulating pines where cranes danced freely, a truly wondrous realm of immortality and freedom!
This is neither an illusion nor divine will, but rather the essence of flesh and blood transformed into a world of pine trees and cranes.
The ever-changing nature of things is not an illusion, but the true self.
In the realm of the physical body, the ever-changing nature of nothingness is only slightly inferior to that of the flowing river.
His martial arts path has always been consistent; he only has the thought of breaking through, so he naturally doesn't care about the big picture or anything else, because as long as he gets the severed tail, he will have the possibility of breaking through the vacuum.
However, to obtain the severed tail, he first needed to break through the suppression of Jiang Liu's bronze cauldron. Therefore, his attack still landed on Jiang Liu.
Xu Wuyi possessed a body that could change in countless ways, and so did Jiang Liu. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into the image of the Great Annihilation God King, a humanoid rooster head, emitting "cock-a-doodle-doo, cock-a-doodle-doo" sounds. He simulated the essence of the Great Annihilation God Fist and used it to the extreme, so sharp that it seemed to tear the sky apart. Several forces frantically tore apart the artistic conception of the pine forest and cranes dancing.
The pine and crane image suddenly flickered and vanished in the collision with the Great Annihilation Fist, returning to a formless void. Without pausing for a moment, he attacked again, his powerful thoughts expressed in his fist techniques.
He didn't speak. In a battle that was much faster than sound, words were useless. His meaning was contained in his fist intent, which flashed into Jiang Liu's mind and allowed Jiang Liu to feel his thoughts.
An attack that strikes straight to the heart.
It severely damaged his soul.
But in this world, how many can surpass the Terror God King in spiritual achievement? Jiang Liu immediately transformed into the Terror God King and unleashed a mental storm.
The mental storm slammed directly into the soul of the Void One. In the brief moment of pause, Jiang Liu threw another punch, forcing him back, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, and retreating three hundred miles.
The body, which had reached the realm of countless transformations, was covered with wounds that took a long time to heal.
Seeing that Xu Yi was attacking again, Pan Huang's Yang God thought rushed over, and the Immortal Binding Rope immediately wrapped around him.
As for the Immortal God King, his strength was greatly diminished, and he was already being held off by Hong Yi.
"receive!"
At the critical moment, the severed tail of the Immortal God King finally sank into the bronze cauldron, and was then thrown into the small world within his body, severing the connection with the Immortal God King and being suppressed in the chaos.
This severed tail contained one-third of the Immortal God King's power, and now that it has been taken away, his strength has been greatly reduced.
The Immortal God King had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years and had already lost the power to shatter the vacuum. Now, having lost a third of his strength, he had fallen from the realm of the Thousand Transformations.
Moreover, the alliance between Xu Yi and the Immortal God King was extremely fragile, and neither dared to truly use their trump cards.
The scales of victory have begun to tip in Jiang Liu's favor. If nothing unexpected happens, the Immortal God King and Xu Yi's joint invasion of the Great Thousand World will lead to its complete destruction.
Just then, a mysterious and vast wave swept across the entire world.
The stronger you are, the more likely you are to detect the information in this fluctuation.
The Heavenly Dao sensed the existence of Jiang Liu, this extraterrestrial demon, and the Origin Land appeared ahead of schedule!
In this "Yang Shen" world, there are no great supernatural beings like Hongjun who have attained the Dao, so there are no gods or deities like the Heavenly Court that operate the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao wants to retaliate and kill the invaders from beyond the universe, it can only push the era forward and give birth to stronger beings.
The Origin Land contains the legacy of the ancient Holy Emperor and many ancient monsters who have not yet died. Since the Chosen One of the Era has become entangled with the extraterrestrial demons, the Origin Land and the Tomb of the Sons can only be opened ahead of schedule.
Chapter 488 The Land of Origin
The Land of Origin is the origin of the vast world, and also the origin of heaven, earth, and stars.
Apart from Jiang Liu, everyone else vaguely sensed what the Origin Land was, and also vaguely sensed where all those ancient primordial yang gods, several masters who shattered the vacuum, and the ancient philosophers had gone and perished.
Under the Heavenly Dao rules of "Yang God", even if one reaches the realm of Yang God, without transcending the One Yuan and reaching the other shore, the lifespan of a Yang God powerhouse will end after 129,600 years, and he will perish in that place.
That mysterious place is where the seed of origin was formed, and it is also the final resting place of the supreme achievers.
However, this place of origin should be the most mysterious place in the world, a thousand times more mysterious than the Nine Abyss Divine Realm or the Dragon's Graveyard.
Jiang Liu knew this place existed, somewhere in the universe, but he didn't know its exact location.
He even analyzed through the lens of the "Lord of the Future" that this place of origin might not exist in a single time or space, but rather hidden deep within the river of time.
Only when the Heavenly Dao breaks the seal will the Land of Origin appear.
Now, under the pressure of Jiang Liu, this extraterrestrial being, the Heavenly Dao has opened the Land of Origin.
As the most ancient being between heaven and earth, the embodiment of the "Dao," the Immortal God-King instantly understood the location of the Origin Land.
As the leader of the Central World, Xu Yi naturally knew the location of the Origin Land.
Hong Yi even had a premonition that his leadership of the "Yi Dao" trend had caused an unprecedented upheaval in the universe. Many Yang Shen masters and powerful beings who had shattered the vacuum in the ancient times must have sensed it, and in the future, this place of origin would definitely undergo many changes.
For example, countless thoughts of the Yang Spirit suddenly flew out, leading many people to have extraordinary encounters, and then...
These are all things that Jiang Liu must guard against, and he has even calculated all of this.
Those ancient Yang God masters couldn't possibly have failed to make arrangements for their afterlife.
However, Jiang Liu had no backup plan.
Seeing the Immortal God King flee the moment he appeared in the Land of Origin, Jiang Liu did not hesitate at all and gave chase.
"The Immortal Monument and the flesh and blood of the God-King are what I must possess. As for the Origin Land... I'll kill you first and take the Immortal Monument!"
The allure of the Origin Land is simply too great; whether it is Xu Yi, Hong Yi, or even Xu Wu Yi, or even every cultivator in the Great Thousand Worlds, they all flock to it.
However, to enter the Land of Origin, besides the cultivation level of a creator, one also needs an unparalleled divine artifact. The king of divine artifacts, capable of traversing the endless void, is naturally the most suitable.
The Immortal God-King has departed, and Xu Yi, leading the eight ministers of the Central World, has also left… The Origin Land has appeared, and they need to plan carefully. Compared to the Great Thousand Worlds, the Origin Land is far more important. It contains the inheritances of many Yang Gods since ancient times. Whether they can obtain them is another matter, but being able to enter it ahead of time will increase their chances of receiving the inheritances.
...
High in the sky, after traversing tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of miles, of turbulent void, one will arrive at a strange, distorted spacetime. In this world, the air currents are completely twisted. Some places are extremely cold, forming vast oceans, while others are extremely hot, forming volcanoes.
However, in some places, where hot and cold alternate and the temperature is neutral, vast floating continents have actually emerged. On these floating continents, there are oceans and land, exotic flowers and rare herbs, all kinds of rare treasures, and many strange and powerful beasts.
On these floating continents, the strange and powerful beasts are more than ten times stronger than those in the Great Thousand World. They are exceptionally ferocious. For example, the Golden-Winged Roc, even the largest in the Great Thousand World is only about ten zhang wide and can grab tigers and wolves. But the Golden-Winged Rocs on these floating continents are fifty or sixty zhang wide. When they take flight, they blot out the sky and the sun, their aura extremely fierce.
Continents stretch out, seas of ice and fire appear, along with twisting storms and air currents, extending all the way to the end of time and space, where the sun and moon hang high in the sky.
The sun and the moon, a fireball and an iceball, infinitely large, hang above, radiating heat and cold.
