The Zombie King brandished his bronze coffin, striking the heavens with ferocity, his inner energy rapidly dwindling. Suddenly, he lowered his head and roared towards Jinyang City.
"roar!"
A terrifying sound wave swept in, and all living beings living in Jinyang City, whether human, livestock, or fish, were blasted into a cloud of blood mist, which was then sucked into the mouth of the zombie king and disappeared.
Having devoured the life essence of an entire city, the large hole in the chest of the otherworldly zombie king writhed and, in a short time, half of it healed.
"It really is a world-destroying demon!" Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. At the rate of destruction this zombie king was capable of, if no one went to stop it, it would probably destroy the entire world!
Wang Xuan asked himself, if Heaven's Will wins, he is absolutely confident that he can take its place and refine the entire Sui and Tang world—all it takes is a sacrificial ceremony to help him.
However, if the otherworldly zombie king wins, Wang Xuan's chances of eliminating him are slim, because the opponent is stronger than he expected!
Just as Wang Xuan was considering how to break the deadlock, the will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world suddenly dissipated from around Jinyang City and instead converged towards Luoyang City.
"What's going on? Could it be that Heaven's will wants to deal with Xuan Tian first, and then gather the power of the entire world to deal with that zombie king?" Wang Xuan was a little confused. It wasn't that he underestimated Heaven's will. Although Heaven's will was far superior to Xuan Tian's, it was too scattered. It would be impossible to eliminate Xuan Tian in less than a few months.
A few months is enough time for that zombie king to wreak havoc on the entire world.
However, something unexpected happened to Wang Xuan. The will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world was not to destroy Xuan Tian, but to choose to merge with Xuan Tian under the crisis and form a new entity!
This made Wang Xuan hesitate, unsure whether he should accept it.
The fusion of Xuan Tian's power with the will of heaven in the Sui and Tang world naturally greatly increased its power, elevating it to the level of the Celestial Realm, and its power was even more concentrated than the original will of heaven.
However, with advantages come disadvantages. He can now command Xuan Tian with ease because Xuan Tian has been completely refined by the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth!
Once integrated with the will of heaven, the newly generated individual, even if it does not escape Wang Xuan's control, will not be as easily manipulated as it is now.
Now Wang Xuan is the master of Xuantian. When Xuantian merges with the will of heaven, his relationship with the newly born will of heaven will be at most like that of Hongjun and the primordial heavenly way!
After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and decided to leave the problem to the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.
With a thought, Xuan Tian's will quickly returned and converged in his mind's eye.
The will of Heaven in the Sui and Tang world followed closely behind, continuously converging into Wang Xuan's sea of consciousness between his eyebrows.
If an ordinary person dared to do this, their head would probably have exploded long ago, but Wang Xuan is different because the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth is guarding his sea of consciousness between his eyebrows!
The Xuan Tian Will became timid as soon as it entered, shrinking back and trembling beneath the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.
When the Celestial Beings of the Sui and Tang Dynasties saw the Tower of Eternity, they were like hungry lions seeing lambs, pouncing directly on it, just like Xuan Tian had done before.
"Buzz!"
The Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth trembled slightly, radiating an aura of immortality, sacred and inviolable. The will of Heaven was frozen in place, gradually merging with the will of Xuan Tian.
After about a dozen breaths, Wang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, a carefree smile spreading across his lips, and slapped his forehead.
A burst of blue light shot out from it, instantly sweeping across the entire Sui and Tang world and bringing it under its control.
He made the right gamble! Although it was extremely dangerous to release his consciousness and let the will of heaven enter it, he gained a will of heaven that was completely under his control!
"From this day forward, I am the master of this world." Wang Xuan murmured to himself, "Since I am called the Ancestor of the Profound Heaven, then this world should be renamed the Great World of Profound Heaven, and the Will of Heaven should also be changed to the Will of Profound Heaven!"
At this moment, the whole world seemed to be cheering; this was a transformation ordained by fate.
After the transformation, the Xuan Tian Will was not much stronger than the original world will in terms of sheer "quantity," but it improved significantly in terms of "quality."
Outside Jinyang City, the zombie king from another world seemed to sense something, and roared to the sky, causing rolling demonic clouds to sweep around!
After raging for a while, these demonic clouds finally transformed into a towering demonic hand, which slammed towards the direction of Wang Xuan's Xuan Yin incarnation!
"So you finally figured it out? But now, no matter how much you struggle, it's too late!" Wang Xuan's Xuan Yin avatar sneered, lightly tapping the ground with his feet, and his whole body rose into the air.
At the same time, a beam of azure light descended from the heavens into his body, which was Xuan Tian's full support!
The Xuan Yin Avatar had only recently broken through to the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, but after absorbing Ran Min's essence and receiving the infusion of the world's origin and the blessing of Heaven, its majestic body shone with a dark blue-black divine light, and its cultivation broke through another small realm, reaching the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm.
With his mid-stage Transcendent Realm cultivation, plus the full support of the Xuan Tian Will, he could fight even a fully-fledged Celestial Realm expert, let alone a half-crippled Celestial Realm expert like the Zombie King.
Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Copper Coffin That Buries the World
Just as the giant hand formed from the black demonic cloud was about to strike, Wang Xuan clenched his fist and threw a punch forward.
His punch contained an incomparably domineering fist intent, directly shattering the giant demonic cloud hand into fragments that dissipated into the air.
After Wang Xuan shattered the giant demonic cloud hand, he saw a bronze coffin silently hurtling towards him from within the demonic cloud, only a few hundred meters away.
Wang Xuan threw another punch, which landed directly on the bronze coffin. With a clang of metal on metal, the bronze coffin was sent flying.
That bronze coffin was clearly a powerful magical artifact. Even with Wang Xuan's Celestial-level combat strength, his full-force punch caused no damage to it. Instead, it made Wang Xuan's fist ache slightly.
"Good heavens, once I snatch this bronze coffin, I'll smash it down on anyone I fight with!" Wang Xuan was not surprised but delighted, and he instantly rushed forward using the Lingxu Step.
The bronze coffin had already flown back into the Zombie King's hands. He coldly stared at Wang Xuan and roared, "I never expected that the will of Heaven would choose an outsider like you. Do you think you can defeat me just because of the blessing of Heaven?"
At this point, the Zombie King reached out and slapped the bronze coffin, causing the coffin lid to fly off. Inside the coffin, it was as if a small black hole had appeared, emitting an incredibly powerful suction force that directly dragged Wang Xuan's Xuan Yin incarnation inside!
The coffin lid slammed shut, trapping the Xuan Yin avatar inside. Incredibly powerful destructive energy filled the entire ancient coffin space. In just a dozen breaths, the Xuan Yin avatar would be completely refined!
"Oh no!" Wang Xuan cried out in despair. He hadn't expected his joy to turn into sorrow. He had underestimated the power of the ancient bronze coffin, which led to him being dragged directly into it.
Being inside the coffin, even the support of the Xuan Tian will from the outside world was blocked, leaving only his original mid-stage Transcendent cultivation. How could he possibly escape?
"There's no other way. I have to use my true form now." Wang Xuan smiled bitterly, and with a ripple in the void, his true form appeared here.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared outside Jinyang City from Luoyang City; this was achieved through spatial manipulation!
Since mastering the Xuan Tian Will, Wang Xuan's physical body has received tremendous benefits, and his cultivation level has directly broken through a major realm, rising from the perfect innate realm to the early stage of the Dao entry realm.
Perhaps his cultivation level in the early stages of entering the Dao through martial arts was not very high, and he could only be considered cannon fodder under the Zombie King. However, with the blessing of the Xuan Tian Will, he was able to barely exert the strength of the Celestial Realm.
"Kill one and another one comes?" The Zombie King was startled, but when he sensed that Wang Xuan's true cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Dao, he was slightly relieved.
Wang Xuan also knew that his physical body was too weak and could not maintain the Xuan Tian Will for too long, so he could only end the battle quickly.
"Sword, come!" he murmured, and the Azure Nether Sword was drawn from its sheath and flew into his hand.
The Azure Nether Sword is a magical artifact, so flying on it is a natural operation. Previously, Wang Xuan's cultivation level was too low, so he could only use it as an ordinary sword. Now, he can finally unleash its true power.
"Azure Sky Collapses!" Wang Xuan's sword strike was as if the entire sky had collapsed, leaving no one with any chance to escape.
With just one sword strike, the zombie king's arm was severed, and a sharp sword intent pierced into the zombie king's brain, causing the zombie king to bleed from all seven orifices.
"Bury the mortal world!" Wang Xuan unleashed another sword strike, the second move of the Wang family's Burial Sword Technique, containing overwhelming killing intent and destructive energy, as if he wanted to kill all living beings and bury the mortal world!
With this sword strike, Wang Xuan severed the zombie king's head, making it impossible for it to heal back together.
"Endless Rain and Mist!" The final move of the Burial Sword Technique was unleashed, and the originally fierce killing aura dissipated completely, leaving only wisps of sword light, like mist and rain, drifting and nourishing silently.
These sword beams were all-pervasive, penetrating directly into the zombie king's head, which then exploded without warning.
With the blessing of Heaven and the sharpness of the Azure Nether Sword, Wang Xuan killed the Otherworldly Zombie King in just three moves.
However, Wang Xuan could also sense that although the zombie king's head had exploded, there was still a remnant of its will within its body, and it had not completely perished.
If left unattended, this zombie, with only its torso and one arm remaining, can still live a perfectly good life.
"Divine Firmament Five Thunder Orthodox Method!" Wang Xuan shouted, and countless purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, ten times stronger than the tribulation lightning that attacked Ran Min before. This was a power that was almost divine!
After being bombarded by the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, the otherworldly zombie king was beyond dead, all its will completely extinguished. Even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal came, he would not be able to revive it.
After doing all this, Wang Xuan quickly reached out and pulled the bronze coffin into his hand.
His Xuan Yin incarnation is still trapped inside the coffin, dissolving every moment. If it cannot be rescued immediately, the Xuan Yin incarnation will be rendered useless.
"Boom!" Wang Xuan reached out and pushed the coffin lid, but the lid did not budge, as if it had been nailed shut.
Wang Xuan frowned slightly, his mind racing, and immediately thought of a possibility: "It seems that this bronze coffin was refined by that zombie king, which is why he can control it so freely."
Now that the Zombie King is dead, the bronze coffin has become ownerless again. Wang Xuan directly inputted his true energy into it, combined with his divine sense.
The next moment, he had established a slight connection with the bronze coffin. With another push, the coffin lid was lifted up, revealing the Xuan Yin incarnation inside.
It's a long story, but actually, Wang Xuan's killing of the zombie king just happened in the blink of an eye.
From the time the Xuan Yin Avatar was trapped inside the coffin until now, only a dozen or so breaths have passed. Yet, in such a short time, the Xuan Yin Avatar's hands and feet have completely melted away and been refined into black corpse demons by the bronze coffin!
Wang Xuan felt a pang of heartache and quickly sent his Xuan Yin avatar flying out of the bronze coffin, then continued to refine the bronze coffin.
The origin of this ancient coffin is unknown, and its grade is even higher than that of the Azure Nether Sword, far exceeding Wang Xuan's imagination.
"I never expected that this wasn't a magic weapon, but a spiritual treasure, which is above all magic weapons!" Wang Xuan was shocked, and then overjoyed.
If this were in the main world, experts at the Celestial Realm and Divine Power Realm would generally use magic weapons, while spiritual treasures are something that only god-demon level experts can refine, and there aren't many of them even in the main world!
As Wang Xuan continued to refine the bronze coffin, he received more and more information from it.
It turns out that this coffin is called the Burial World Bronze Coffin, which was conceived at the beginning of the creation of a high-level martial arts world and belongs to the category of low-grade spiritual treasures.
Later, that world fell into the Dharma-ending Age, and the whole world was on the verge of collapse. It happened to briefly intersect with the Sui and Tang world. So the zombie king that Wang Xuan had killed earlier crossed over to the Sui and Tang world with the help of the Burial Coffin.
Chapter Ninety-Eight: Level Four Access Control
"I never expected to acquire a spiritual treasure; this is truly a pleasant surprise!" Wang Xuan was in a good mood; this trip to the Sui and Tang world had exceeded his expectations.
He opened his mind to sense the will of Xuan Tian. After eliminating the Zombie King, the Xuan Tian world was rid of a malignant tumor. The whole world was full of vigor, just like a person recovering from a serious illness, whose body was gradually recovering.
"Now that I control a world, I wonder how much fortune I can harvest?" Wang Xuan chuckled and looked up at the sky. Suddenly, a stream of azure energy flowed down from the heavens, entering Wang Xuan's head and merging with his innate fortune.
The luck value displayed on the Tower of Eternity kept jumping: one million, two million, ten million...
Once all the source that the Xuan Tian World could mobilize was transformed into fortune and added to Wang Xuan's body, his fortune value actually reached a terrifying 80 million points!
"Eighty million points of luck? If used normally, that would be enough for me to squander for a long time. But if I want to refine a higher level of authority in the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, that amount of luck won't be enough."
After absorbing the fortune brought by Wang Chong's son, Wang Xuan completely mastered the first level of authority of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.
As for the Level 2 access, it cost Wang Xuan 10,000 points of luck, which he had carefully scavenged in the Water Margin world.
Not long ago, Wang Xuan spread his teachings and martial arts at the Golden Summit of Zhongnan Mountain, which had a far greater impact on this world than the Water Margin world. In addition, the Xuantian world is also much stronger than the Water Margin world. Therefore, he obtained 1 million luck points at once, which enabled him to master the third level of authority of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth.
"To gain access to the fourth level of the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth, one must consume one hundred million points of luck!" Wang Xuan gritted his teeth. He knew that the Eternal Tower of Heaven and Earth was his foundation. To gain access to an even higher level of this treasure, he would not hesitate to sacrifice the Xuan Tian World.
Wang Xuan hardened his heart, merged his thoughts with Xuan Tian's will, and grabbed towards the northeast.
Thousands of miles away in the northeast, beyond the Great Wall, lies a semi-nomadic, semi-agricultural country, which is none other than Goryeo, which Yan Guan had attacked three times before.
As soon as Wang Xuan made his grab, the fortune of the Goryeo Kingdom collapsed. The fortune that Heaven had originally bestowed upon the Goryeo Kingdom was completely taken back and all of it was transferred to Wang Xuan.
