Chapter 1 Unresigned

“I am not resigned!”

The Butian Pavilion Master was extremely furious. The blood light around him burned as he tried to perform the Butian Sacred Art, but the five colors flowed down, and many divine powers and magic treasures were brushed away in an instant.

His last struggle was broken, and he could only watch helplessly as the giant palm closed.

“This, this…”

In Bai Yujing, a Butian Pavilion Da Neng (Great Expert) was struck by lightning. He stared dumbfounded at the giant star-like palm in the sky, his heart trembling.

The giant palm covered the sky. Five colors flowed within it, and layers of heavens appeared vaguely, as if mountains and rivers were all within the palm.

The resistance of the three great experts was completely sealed within that giant palm.

Whoosh~

Beneath the sky, on both sides of the great river, wind dragons roamed in the plains and mountains. The wind surged for thousands of miles, and sand and stones flew.

“The three sect leader-level experts have all been suppressed?!”

“Invincible! He’s invincible! Even Emperor Tianding in his prime was only so powerful!”

“The number one person in Dongzhou, the real number one person in Dongzhou!”

With just one palm, he suppressed three sect leader-level experts. Even though only the Lingtian Sect Master was a true top ten Dongtian (Grotto-Heaven) sect leader-level expert, it was enough to shock countless people.

Inside and outside Bai Yujing, there was silence.

This scene was too spectacular. The giant palm covering the sky pressed down, seeming heavier than the sky. Tens of thousands of feet away, the earth cracked everywhere.

Even Bai Yujing, shrouded in formations, was constantly shaking, intimidated by the terrifying aura.

All the cultivators were shocked beyond words.

Most cultivators in this world had never even seen a Dongtian Da Neng, let alone such a sect leader-level existence.

Even fewer had seen such a powerful being who could suppress three sect leader-level experts.

After all, those who could reach this step were all first-class in terms of talent and understanding, invincible at the same level. That was only possible for the legendary Supreme and Holy Emperor.

Crack, crack, crack~

The starry sky collapsed inch by inch, shrinking rapidly. In the short span of a moment or two, it had already converged into one, revealing An Qisheng’s figure.

His five fingers closed, and the void crackled under his grip.

Between his fingers, there were flashes of swords and sabers, as well as roars like thunder. The Butian Pavilion Master and the Lingtian Sect Master were all roaring and struggling.

But once they entered his palm, with the twenty-four Dongtian shifting and rotating, even though they were all Vacuum Shattering level experts, it was difficult to escape.

Cultivating the Dao of Taiji, An Qisheng was best at using force against force. The struggles of the three people, and even Qian Shisi, were all transformed into the power to suppress each other amidst the five colors and the rotation of yin and yang.

The sum of their strength undoubtedly exceeded the limit he could suppress, but unless they could merge into one, none of them should think about escaping.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~~~

Almost at the instant the three were suppressed.

In the far east, an infinitely sharp aura soared into the sky for thousands of miles. A vast sword light instantly tore through the clouds, as if it had plunged into the boundless starry sea.

An extremely sharp sword shadow appeared in the sky.

The Lingtian Sword had revived!

“The Lingtian Sword has revived? What does the Lingtian Sect want to do?”

“An enemy attack? No, the aura of a Feng Wang (King Sealing) is towering. Who dares to invade a sacred land sect?”

“What a spectacle! A Feng Wang-level spiritual treasure that has only just begun to recover is already so powerful. What was the grand occasion of the Feng Hou (Marquis Sealing) competition in the past, competing for the Supreme?”

“There is a battle aura in the northeast. Could it be that the Lingtian Sect Master has encountered a great enemy? The northeast is Bai Yujing. Could it be that the Lingtian Sect Master has had a conflict with the Butian Pavilion?”

The aura of the Lingtian Sword permeated half of Dongzhou. Under the agitation of the aura, it caused a chain reaction from many sects, and powerful auras rose into the sky.

The entire Dongzhou was filled with turbulent waves of air, and the dome of the sky was like a sea, attracting the attention of countless people.

“The Lingtian Sword is rioting. Could it be…”

In the Scarlet Flame Dynasty, in the ten thousand miles of spiritual fields, Lan Shuixian felt the revival of powerful auras. His heart stirred, and he looked south, muttering to himself:

“Could it be…”

Tens of thousands of miles away, even though he had already forged a divine body, he could not see that battle. But he faintly had a premonition that the revival of the Lingtian Sword should be related to that Yuanyang Daoist.

It was just that the one being chased by him was clearly a master from the Butian Pavilion. How could it be related to the Lingtian Sword?

“My Little Gold.”

Feeling the aura of the spiritual treasure filling the sky, Mo Baobao’s face immediately fell. He was depressed, thinking of his Sumeru Golden Mountain.

Falling into the hands of that Yuanyang Daoist, who knew if there was any hope of getting it back.

“The world, it’s going to change.”

Lan Shuixian restrained his thoughts and glanced at Mo Baobao with a solemn expression: “Baobao, you have to practice diligently. I’m afraid that the great change in the world predicted by the Mingyue Holy Master is not far away…”

The great trend of the world rises and falls like the tide, sometimes at a low ebb and sometimes at a high tide.

From ancient times to the present, hundreds of thousands of years have been a low ebb in the three thousand million years of Wanyang界's history. Even with the emergence of Guanglong Supreme, it was still the same.

But after a low ebb of hundreds of thousands of years, it would probably be an unprecedented great era coming.

If you don’t improve, you can only be eliminated.

“Mm-hmm.”

Mo Baobao nodded, his small face serious: “Sooner or later, I will ask that Yuanyang Daoist to return Little Gold.”

“…There will be such a day.”

Lan Shuixian shook his head, and while his heart was bitter, he was also firming his belief.

A temporary setback was not terrible. He firmly believed that he would eventually catch up.

Before the great change in the world, no one could be sealed as a Marquis. Emperor Tianding cultivated for a thousand years before burning everything before his death to set foot on that step.

Even if that Yuanyang Daoist was peerless in talent, it would not be so easy for him to take that step…

It should be…

“Feng Wang spiritual treasure.”

An Qisheng seemed to sense something. He looked east towards the Lingtian Sect and could vaguely see the Lingtian Sword containing infinite sharpness.

The spirituality of a Feng Wang spiritual treasure was higher, but it was not as costly and difficult to drive as a Supreme Treasure. It was the strongest force that Dongzhou and even the Nine Provinces could use today.

It was a pity that the spiritual treasure was still a spiritual treasure, not a real Feng Wang-level expert. Unless it could be fully revived, there would be loopholes to follow.

Whoosh~

With a thought from An Qisheng, his will was like a knife, sweeping across the sky and the earth, setting off a terrifying tide of will, and beheading all the traces he had left in the world.

Possessing the ability to enter dreams, he had already been able to master it since the time of Xuan Xing, cleaning up the traces he had left between heaven and earth.

Although he could not completely cut off the traces he had left in the world, the Lingtian Sword was not the former Lingtian Wang. It could not launch an attack based on a wisp of vague aura.

Otherwise, Emperor Tianding would have been killed long ago, and there would have been no possibility of cultivating into Vacuum Shattering.

As An Qisheng cut off the aura and traces in the world, the slowly reviving Lingtian Sword in the far east let out an unwilling sword cry, and then returned to silence.

But the entire Lingtian Sect was in chaos.

Along with it, many large sects were also in chaos. All the experts were frowning, calculating what had happened.

Even more experts came out of the mountains, heading towards Bai Yujing.

They wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Whoosh~

An Qisheng took one step and landed. With a whoosh of his breath, the surrounding blood energy flowed towards his palm like swallows returning to their nests.

The physique of a Vacuum Shattering expert was shocking to the world, not inferior to dragons, phoenixes, or ancient relics. Every drop of blood could transform into a river of blood.

Zhang Wuji was shattered by his palm, and the overflowing blood flooded the plains for tens of thousands of miles. The mountains and rivers outside Bai Yujing were dyed blood red.

Countless fish, shrimps, birds, and beasts were frightened and chased after the blood, starting a frenzied snatching. But except for a few spirit beasts with foundations, nine out of ten birds and beasts that swallowed the blood were like swallowing a pan of high-strength aqua regia, completely corroded.

At this time, with a thought from An Qisheng.

The overflowing rivers of blood rose into the sky and were collected into his Dongtian.

He naturally did not need this blood, but if this blood remained here, not only would nothing grow for thousands of years, but it would also attract countless people’s greed and snatching.

For example, at this time, inside and outside Bai Yujing, which was shrouded in formations, there were many cultivators watching this scene, feeling extremely regretful.

But naturally, no one dared to come up and snatch it from An Qisheng.

On the contrary, as An Qisheng approached step by step, the entire Bai Yujing fell into great silence. The many armored soldiers guarding the city were trembling and their faces were pale.

This had nothing to do with courage and bravery. Facing an existence that could be pinched to death at will, no one could be calm.

Including the many experts from the Butian Pavilion stationed in the city.

The Butian Pavilion’s position was special, but its specialty lay in the fact that it was a powerful force spanning several states, possessing domain gates that could summon experts for rescue at any time.

Other than that, their strength was also considered strong, but it was obviously incomparable to the top ten sects, let alone the three sacred lands.

Not only did they not have Feng Wang-level spiritual treasures, but they only had a few Feng Hou-level spiritual treasures, including the Heaven Saber in the hands of the Butian Pavilion Master.

But apart from the top ten sects and the three sacred lands, the Butian Pavilion was one of the most top-notch forces, even stronger than the families with Marquis inheritance.

And it was more famous.

This was naturally one of the reasons why An Qisheng chose the Butian Pavilion.

The weakest among the strong, the strongest among the weak.

Where could he find such a good ‘chicken’?

Step, step, step~

An Qisheng walked unhurriedly, his footsteps were neither high nor low, but everyone who saw him naturally heard his footsteps in their hearts.

It seemed that the transmission of the footsteps was not through the air, but through sight, which was extremely strange.

The great formations inside and outside Bai Yujing were still reviving, and several giants who had condensed their Dongtian were waiting in full force, but until he reached the city gate, no one dared to open their mouths to stop him.

“I have come here only for the Butian Pavilion.”

An Qisheng stopped in front of the majestic giant city. The few auras inside fled quickly after he swept over them, not daring to stay in the slightest.

But there were also a few who hesitated but still stayed to preside over the great formation.

They seemed to be experts from the Butian Pavilion.

Whoosh~

When An Qisheng stepped out again, someone in the city finally couldn’t bear it and activated the spiritual light of the great formation, sweeping across a hundred thousand miles of mountains and rivers, and crushing down mightily.

Formations relied on the celestial phenomena above and the earth’s veins and mountains below.

Dongtian Da Neng could break stars above and destroy cities and crack the earth below, but damaging the earth’s veins and mountains would aggravate the Dongtian tribulation, or even directly trigger it.

Therefore, without a method of entry, very few people would break formations by force.

The few people in the city were betting that An Qisheng would not break the formation by force.

But they did not expect that An Qisheng’s familiarity with this formation was even greater than theirs.

Therefore, in the next instant, in the horrified eyes of many people.

He stepped out, and the formation seemed to not exist, directly passing through it.

“This is impossible!”

Two horrified roars sounded in the city, and then the two auras quickly moved away, as if they wanted to escape far away.

Buzz~

Five colors soared into the sky, and divine light filled the entire city, like a curtain falling from the sky, flashing and disappearing.

It seemed to be only a moment, and two Daoists with pale faces and horrified expressions had already appeared in front of An Qisheng.

The two seemed to not have understood how they were captured, but when they saw An Qisheng, they seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate.

“Provoking my Butian Pavilion, Dongzhou will no longer have a place for you.”

One of them barely suppressed his shock and anger and looked coldly at An Qisheng.

“I heard that you have a domain gate that can request help from other Butian Pavilions in other states, or even the Butian Pavilion in Zhongzhou…”

An Qisheng’s expression was calm.

While speaking, he slowly reached out his palm:

“The thing is not bad,
I want it!”

Rumble!

With just a reach, a surging blood energy had already risen into the sky, passing through the omnipresent city protection formation and transforming into a giant hand covering the sky.

The giant hand supported the sky, and divine light flowed between its fingers. Among the stars, it seemed that layers of Dongtian were shifting and rotating, transforming into infinite power to bless it.

In the shocked and angry eyes of the two Butian Pavilion Dongtian experts, it grabbed towards a certain place in the south of the city.

“No!”

The expert who had threatened An Qisheng before turned pale in horror. He never dreamed that this Yuanyang Daoist seemed to know the location of the domain gate!

Buzz~

Divine light激荡(agitated), and ripples spread throughout the city. The whistling wind collided with the city protection formation, emitting a series of thunderous sounds.

The entire city was shocked, and countless cultivators changed color.

Especially the many cultivators under the giant hand, their faces were ashen. If they had not felt the slightest killing intent, they would have thought that this Yuanyang Daoist was going to slaughter the city!

Roar~~~

Almost at the same time as An Qisheng’s giant hand pressed down, a dragon’s roar, from low to high, from small to large, resounded in the city:

“This seat…Huh?!”
