Chapter 1 Shadow and Finger

Shadows flowed, darker than the night, and as they fell, a boundless gale swept through the heavens.

Though separated by countless thousands of *zhang*, the surging airflow had already scattered the water dragons dancing wildly across the sky, extinguishing all the lights within Guang Hai.

Endless, majestic energy pressed down, forcing everything airborne to within three *chi* of the ground.

"A Supreme?!"

Chu Yunyang and the others were initially shocked, but quickly realized it was impossible.

Feng Xinglie was indeed the strongest among them, on the verge of reaching the Tongtian realm, but the distance between him and a Supreme was like the difference between heaven and earth.

If there truly were a Supreme here, Feng Xinglie would have been annihilated the instant he thought of challenging them.

Where would there be any need for action?

Moreover, although this finger strike was exceptionally powerful, it was still far from the level of a Supreme.

"It's Little Mingwang!"

Chu Yunyang took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. Only he recognized the attacker.

After attaining the Dao, Guanglong Supreme had spent most of his time in seclusion, sometimes for thousands of years, sometimes for tens of thousands. In his later years, he stopped secluding himself and went to Eastern Continent with the white bear he raised.

Little Mingwang, in a sense, was the first patriarch of the overbearing imperial court in recent ancient times.

"This is the overbearing Little Mingwang?!"

Zhao Zhen also suddenly remembered the only disciple accepted by Guanglong Supreme, the true patriarch of the overbearing imperial court.

Legend had it that he was not human, but a Golden Crow.

He was an ancient Golden Crow egg that Guanglong Supreme had kept in the imperial sun after attaining the Dao, nurturing it for countless years until it finally came to life.

He was the only 'person' in recent ancient times who could fully harmonize with the 'Ten Suns Across the Sky Technique.'

"Senior brother!"

Qu Yun's expression darkened slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Chu Yunyang's expression shifted several times, but he still stopped Qu Yun: "Although I don't know if all of this is real or not, the patriarch at this time should not have advanced to the Feng Wang realm..."

His words seemed to be comforting Qu Yun, but his aura also locked onto him, indicating that he would not allow him to help.

Even if all of this was an environment, a dream.

Boom!

The clouds in the sky exploded, and a biting gale swept over.

"Overbearing Little Mingwang?"

Qi Su Ming looked coldly at the giant finger descending, causing the sky to lower with it, rushing down like a suppressing dome.

Without a word, just a finger pointing down, one could see its arrogant aura, its boundless overbearing will.

Any words were inferior to this silent finger strike!

Its aura, its power, were no different from the Little Mingwang he knew.

Had they really returned to recent ancient times?

How was that possible?

Wait...

Qi Su Ming's pupils suddenly constricted, recalling Ying San's words before the tower: "This is dreaming back to ancient times?! Then that means..."

Qi Su Ming was not the only one to realize this.

Chu Yunyang and Qu Yun, who were facing each other, as well as the others who were silently watching, were all shocked.

They exchanged glances, and all could see the shock and solemnity in each other's eyes.

Whoosh~

Feng Xinglie's clothes fluttered, his long hair danced wildly, and he felt unprecedented pressure.

This pressure was something that Qi Cang, Chu Yunyang, and even Sun En could not provide, because the person before him had already walked the path of Feng Hou to the point where the Feng Wang realm was within sight.

This was a quasi-Feng Wang powerhouse on the verge of becoming a Feng Wang!

"Overbearing Little Mingwang..."

As the giant finger pressed down, Feng Xinglie's body stood firm like a mountain, but a terrifying light flashed in his eyes:

"I don't care if you're real or fake, I'll kill you first!"

Boom!

As the sound waves exploded like thunder, Feng Xinglie's tall figure erupted with an incredibly strong blood energy. This blood energy was so vigorous that, from a distance, one could see his pores erupting with it.

Dyeing the clouds in the sky red.

Then, Feng Xinglie stepped into the air and drew his blade!

Chī~

The fierce and overbearing blade light rippled, like a reversed Milky Way, pushing away endless smoke and dust, cutting through everything, tangible and intangible, under the impetus of the extremely violent blood energy.

Tearing through the void, splitting open the heavens and the earth, directly slashing out!

A single blade shook the heavens!

The fierce and violent aura instantly leveled the overbearing aura that hung down from the sky like the sun in the sky.

"Feng Xinglie..."

Chu Yunyang touched the scar on his face. His constitution allowed him to recover even if his head was cut in half, but this scar was deliberately left behind.

It was this very blade that shattered his carelessness, causing him to restrain himself and cultivate diligently.

Now, seeing this blade again, his heart stirred, and a flame ignited within him.

A single blade shook the heavens, and also elicited a soft 'hmm' from the heavenly palace.

"When did such an expert appear in this world?"

From within the overbearing imperial court, a soft whisper was heard, which could not be ignored by anyone.

Immediately, a light suddenly appeared on the descending finger.

At first, the light was just a bean-sized dot, but it quickly expanded like a meteor, until the thunderous blade crossed the sky, stirring up surging purple lightning.

It was already like a great sun across the sky, bursting out with endless brilliant divine light!

Rumble!

The earth-shattering collision was like the sun exploding in the sky.

The resulting shockwave swept across the boundless area, squeezing everything within hundreds of thousands of miles.

The experts who had soared up from Guang Hai were like paper scraps swept up by a hurricane, blown away without a trace.

Even Chu Yunyang and the others, under the impact of this terrifying aftermath, burst out with divine light, dissipating the rolling ripples that were coming.

"Good!"

A long roar reverberated.

Once a blade was drawn, it could not be stopped!

Feng Xinglie stepped into the air and slashed again, countless blade lights instantly filling the space between heaven and earth, surging endlessly towards the overbearing imperial court once more.

Then, light and heat erupted in the sky, and one round of great sun after another appeared in the sky, the light and shadow shifting, the fog hazy.

The 180,000-mile Guang Hai became even more ethereal, the water vapor like clouds, as if it were about to be evaporated.

As everyone stared intently, what they saw were not rounds of great suns, but distinct fingers!

One finger strike was unsuccessful, and the Little Mingwang had already come out of seclusion, plucking his fingers in succession, like ten suns across the sky, clenching his fists together to meet Feng Xinglie, who was wielding a river of blade light!

The two figures collided at the world's fastest speed, engaging in an extremely fierce battle!

One was clad in golden light, majestic as a god, pushing his fists forward, like ten suns across the sky, the other was surrounded by purple energy, like an ancient thunder god descending, his fists and palms filled with boundless dominance.

The clash between the ancient overbearing emperor's inheritance and the near-ancient supreme dominance, once unfolded, was earth-shattering.

The horror of the battle caused the onlookers to have solemn expressions and their hearts to tremble. Fighting in the high sky still had such power, what would happen if they attacked them?

"These two..."

Zhao Zhen's face twitched, and a sense of frustration arose in his heart.

Hundreds of years ago, he and Chu Yunyang had joined forces to retreat completely from Feng Xinglie's hands, even so, Chu Yunyang was almost beheaded by a single blade!

Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, the gap between them had not narrowed at all, and seemed to have widened vaguely.

Chu Yunyang's expression was even more solemn. Seeing his peers compete with the patriarch in his youth, his heart was naturally extremely complicated.

Even those who had no interaction with Feng Xinglie were silent and shaken.

However, those who could walk to this point in today's world of deep changes were all people with outstanding talents and high self-esteem.

Even if they were inferior for a moment, it would only stimulate the fighting spirit in their hearts.

Everyone's expressions were agitated, and they were all staring into the sky.

Only Qi Su Ming seemed to be completely unconcerned with the rare battle in the sky.

He bent down to the ground, pinched a handful of slightly moist soil from the gully torn by the gale, and gently kneaded it.

"It doesn't seem fake..."

Qi Su Ming muttered to himself, but a chill arose in his heart.

Those who achieve the Wanfa realm can condense a cave heaven, and most cave heaven experts will deal with heaven and earth. Those who return to the One realm even have the means to fill the sky and create land, and knead stars into earth with a single thought.

He thought that it would not be a problem for him to create such a world with his own means, but it was impossible to let the heaven and earth, and even the soil, be filled with the aura of near-ancient times.

Legend has it that the Supreme has the power to look into the past and look forward to the future, but there has never been such a thing in the 30 million years of history!

He would never believe that anyone in the present world could do such an incredible thing, even the Yuanyang King, who had suppressed the world for a thousand years.

But even so, his heart was still throbbing.

Such means...

...

Boom!

Accompanied by an earth-shattering collision, the sun rose from the east.

As the vast clouds slowly calmed down, Feng Xinglie, tattered and torn, but with an increasingly exuberant aura, slowly exhaled, his fighting spirit still agitated, but his aura slowly calmed down.

"So that's it, so that's it! No wonder it's called the Tongtian Tower, this tower truly has the power to reach the heavens!"

Feng Xinglie muttered to himself, seemingly realizing something in this battle, and with a single step, he disappeared directly into the sky in full view of everyone.

"Hmm?!"

"Huh?"

"No, that's not right!"

Chu Yunyang and the others all changed their expressions, and in an instant, they all soared into the air, arriving at the place where Feng Xinglie had disappeared.

"Senior brother?!"

Qu Yun was shocked and angry, and his powerful will swept across the void, crushing every inch, even tearing through the void and shuttling back and forth.

In the end, he returned to the original place with an iron face.

Disappeared!

In full view of everyone, Feng Xinglie had disappeared without a trace!

It should be known that even tearing through the void to travel has its limits, even for a Supreme.

But at this time, the limit of everyone's perception did not have Feng Xinglie's aura.

It was as if he had really disappeared into thin air!

"How could it be?"

Chu Yunyang was also a little surprised and uncertain. Even if Feng Xinglie's cultivation was higher than everyone else's at this time.

But it was impossible to be so high that he was out of reach!

"Brother Qu, don't be impatient, this matter may not be as imagined."

Zhao Zhen calmed down and looked at Qu Yun:

"With Brother Feng's cultivation, who can make him disappear without a sound? And before he left, he seemed to have realized something, obviously, he went willingly."

"That's true..."

The latter's brows relaxed for a moment, but then frowned again: "But I just tore through the void and traveled more than ten million miles, and I didn't find any trace of senior brother, nor did I find anything unusual..."

"Tongtian Tower!"

At this time, Qi Su Ming also stepped into the air. He scattered the soil in his hand, his expression solemn: "I still don't believe that Yuanyang King has the ability to move through time and space!

If this place is still the Tongtian Tower, then it makes sense. Don't forget, this Xuan Huang Tongtian Tower has thirty-six layers up and down!"

"Tongtian Tower?!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was quiet for a moment, and then blurted out.

Suddenly seeing the scenery of near-ancient times, and seeing Feng Xinglie and Little Mingwang fighting in the sky, everyone only thought that the tower gate was like a domain gate, but they did not think of this for a while.

More importantly, this world was so real that they could not see any flaws, and it was so vast that they could hardly believe that this would be a 'secret realm' within a magic weapon.

But after Qi Su Ming pointed it out, and thinking of Feng Xinglie's long roar when he left, they suddenly woke up.

Zhao Zhen took a deep look at Qi Su Ming and slowly said: "If this place is really the Tongtian Tower, then if we want to catch up with Brother Feng,

Perhaps, we have to kill Little Mingwang like him..."

Ci la~

A sound of tearing cloth rang out.

Everyone's hearts moved, and they turned to look, only to see a piece of void shattered, and a person stepped out of the void, tearing his clothes and bare-chested.

Eyes as bright as flowing fire coldly swept over everyone:

"Who do you want to kill?"
