Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

He also exuded a faint aura of power, but this power was only visible on his arms, which were covered with burn marks. Not only that, but a chilling, negative energy surged within his arms, and the two intertwined, causing him unbearable pain.

"Go and see Fellow Daoist Da Tuo!" But at this moment, Ying Zheng disregarded his own pain and shouted to the Venerable Ones.

The Venerable Ones then realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to help the Great Sword Venerable Da Tuo up from the ground.

At this moment, the Great Sword Master Da Tuo had his eyes closed and had already fainted.

His clothes were torn to shreds on his chest, revealing a long claw mark and a large chunk of flesh torn off.

The claw mark was as black as ink, and incredibly, in such a short time, the wound of the Great Sword Master had already begun to rot! Centered on the wound, his entire chest was covered in a large bruise!

"This...!" The Holy Lord of Great Power's face was extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist Da Tuo! Fellow Daoist Da Tuo!" he shouted with all his might, but unfortunately, Sword Master Da Tuo did not respond.

"Oh no, Fellow Daoist Da Tuo has fainted!" The Great Mighty Holy Venerable instinctively looked at Ying Zheng and exclaimed.

Despite the pain in his arms, Ying Zheng walked over.

He glanced at the wound on the Great Sword Master's chest and frowned.

He knew all too well how terrifying that ghostly hand was. He himself had been corrupted to this extent simply by grasping the ghostly hand with both hands; how much more so for the Great Sword Master, who had been viciously struck by the ghostly claw!
"What do we do now?! Is there any way to save Fellow Daoist Da Tuo?" Immortal Venerable Hong Luo asked Ying Zheng anxiously.

"There's no other way! We must find a way to wake him up and let him go out to heal his wounds! Only in this way can we save his life. Otherwise, I'm afraid the ghost poison will take hold and he will die in an instant," Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Move him to the campfire," Ying Zheng ordered again.

The other venerable ones quickly helped carry the Great Sword Master over. Then, Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and took some embers from the campfire, sprinkling them on the Great Sword Master's chest wound.

Zizi!

The charcoal fire sizzled as it burned the wound, sending wisps of black smoke rising into the air.

"Ugh!!" The Great Sword Master was jolted awake by the intense pain.

He struggled, in extreme pain.

However, at this moment, Ying Zheng gripped his arm tightly and said forcefully, "Quickly concentrate and return to the Primordial Universe!"

Faced with Ying Zheng's words, the Great Sword Master, enduring the pain, nodded with difficulty. Then, he closed his eyes, seemingly concentrating his mind.

His brow twitched incessantly, and finally, after about ten breaths, the figure of the Great Sword Master slowly turned into a phantom and disappeared.

"Phew!" Watching the figure of the Great Sword Master disappear, Ying Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

If the Great Sword Master continues to stay here, and they have no means to save him, then he will surely die.

But once he gets out and returns to the Primordial Universe, no matter how severe his injuries are, they won't be life-threatening. With time, he can always heal his wounds.

After the Great Sword Master Da Tuo retreated, Ying Zheng, enduring the pain in his arms, addressed the assembled masters, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I originally thought I could use these ghosts to quickly improve your strength. I never expected to encounter such a crisis."

"Now that both my arms are injured, my combat power is greatly reduced, and I can no longer protect everyone. I propose that we temporarily retreat back to the Hongmeng Universe."

"Yes, yes." The other lords naturally had no objection to Ying Zheng's suggestion.

Now that Ying Zheng is injured, and it is nighttime, if a higher-level ghost were to attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.

For various reasons, they should indeed step back now, reorganize, and then come back in!

After the Venerable Ones nodded, they all sat down cross-legged, calmed their minds, activated the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl, and withdrew from the Azure Illusionary Realm.

Ying Zheng also sat down, enduring the pain, trying to focus and retreat. However, just then, perhaps distracted by the pain in his arm, Ying Zheng suddenly saw a wisp of blue light flash in the nearby campfire!
"What is it?" The thought flashed through his mind.

"Could it be...!" A surge of wild joy welled up in Ying Zheng's heart.

He quickly got up and ran over to take a look. Sure enough, in the flames, at the spot where he had killed the high-ranking ghost, there was a blue orb of light.

"Just as I thought!" Ying Zheng suppressed his overwhelming joy and quickly used a nearby branch to clear away the embers and branches, taking out the blue orb of light.

Holding the cyan orb in his hand, Ying Zheng stared intently at it, and immediately some information surfaced in his mind.

"Divine Artifact: Jade Ghost Hand!"

Grade: White Porcelain
Description: A pair of ghostly hands imbued with a chilling, malevolent aura. Once equipped, they can be controlled with divine sense, as easily as one's own limbs.

Additional move: Demon Claw

Ghost Claw: Uses the chilling, malevolent energy gathered in a ghost's hand to create sharp claws that attack enemies, causing massive damage!

"A divine artifact with added special moves!" Ying Zheng was overjoyed.

Based on what he knew about the Canglan Illusionary Realm, artifacts with attached skills were simply unparalleled treasures within it!

"Equip!" Ying Zheng murmured to himself, and then the cyan orb disappeared.

Ying Zheng felt as if a special energy had entered his body.

In the Canglan Fantasy Realm, each person can use a maximum of two divine artifacts. Therefore, choosing which divine artifact to use is of paramount importance.

However, Ying Zheng only had this Jade Ghost Hand at hand, so he used it without hesitation.

After equipping himself with the Azure Jade Ghost Hand, Ying Zheng had a thought, and two more azure arms immediately emerged from under his arms!
These two arms glowed with a bluish light, covered with black veins, and constantly emitted a chilling, ghostly aura, making them terrifying to look at.

Under Ying Zheng's control, the Jade Ghost Hand made movements such as clenching a fist and punching freely, each movement as flexible and unhindered as Ying Zheng's own arm.

"This thing is practically the same as a Dharma body when used," Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

In the primordial universe, some cultivators like to add wings or create a three-headed, six-armed form when manifesting their Dharma body.

This jade ghost hand does bear some resemblance to those others.

"Although it looks a bit ugly, from now on, it's like having another trump card," Ying Zheng thought to himself.

More importantly, these ghostly hands can directly attack ghost-like targets!

In the Canglan Fantasy Realm, ghostly beings have always been extremely troublesome.

The main reason is that they are invisible and intangible, making physical attacks often ineffective.

For example, Ying Zheng's actual combat strength far exceeded that of the high-level ghost, but it still took a lot of effort to deal with it.

If it were any other wild creatures of equal strength, Ying Zheng could easily take on ten of them at once.

Moreover, after he killed the ghost, due to the vast difference in their combat strength, Ying Zheng did not actually gain much energy.

This is why many people in the Canglan Fantasy Realm are unwilling to easily deal with ghost-type targets.

After obtaining the Azure Jade Ghost Hand, Ying Zheng sat cross-legged again, summoned the Illusionary Realm Spirit Pearl, and returned to the Primordial Universe. In the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, all the Venerables awaited Ying Zheng's return.

As soon as Ying Zheng returned to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace, all the deities who had been meditating with their eyes closed opened their eyes.

"Why did it take you so long to get back?" Binghan Juezun couldn't help but ask Ying Zheng.

Time flows differently in the Canglan Illusionary Realm than in the outside world; one minute inside is equivalent to a thousand years outside. Ying Zheng was delayed by four or five minutes, while nearly thirty thousand years had passed outside.

"It's nothing," Ying Zheng replied casually.

As he spoke, he glanced around at the assembled deities and asked, "Where is Fellow Daoist Datuo?"

All the deities were present, except for the Great Sword Venerable Datuo.

"Fellow Daoist Da Tuo is seriously injured and has no choice but to leave this place temporarily to seek healing in the void and chaos," sighed the Great Vajra Holy Venerable.

In the Canglan Illusionary Realm, if you feel hungry, you will lose magical power after leaving.

The Great Swordsman was seriously injured and on the verge of death this time, so you can imagine the extent of his accumulated injuries after he came out.

"Fellow Daoist Da Tuo's injuries will likely take hundreds of millions of years to fully recover," Xuan Jian Divine Venerable said with a wry smile.

"The Canglan Illusionary Realm is truly fraught with danger and should not be underestimated," Hongdu Supreme remarked.

"However, we all successfully broke through to the level of the Primordial Emperor this time! Although we took some risks, it was worth it," said Immortal Venerable Hongluo.

"Yes, yes." The other Venerables nodded in agreement.

If we let them cultivate on their own, who knows how many billions of years it will take before they can break through to the Primordial Emperor level.

But this time, they broke through in less than ten hours after entering, a speed that was astonishing!
Given such an incredible speed of breakthrough, some danger is to be expected.

"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, how are your injuries?" Immortal Venerable Hongluo asked with concern.

The assembled officials couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng's arms, their expressions filled with worry.

Ying Zheng stretched out his hand and gave a wry smile: "Right now, my arms are being burned by the power of raging flames and corroded by a yin energy. The two are fighting each other and constantly destroying the vitality of my arms. However, it's not a big problem."

In the Canglan Fantasy Realm, Ying Zheng's arm was only burned by what appeared to be ordinary flames.

But once it emerged, the burns from the ordinary flames transformed into a raging inferno, seemingly possessing the terrifying power to incinerate the universe.

The malevolent energy transformed into a deep, dark, and chilling poison that gnawed at the bone like a maggot.

These injuries looked as if they were left by Ying Zheng after a fierce battle with a terrifying level four powerhouse of the universe.

However, unlike the Canglan Illusionary Realm where there were no healing methods, upon emerging, Ying Zheng immediately used his supreme divine power to suppress the burning power and abyssal cold poison in his arms.

After that, he only needed to go into seclusion to refine these two powers, and his injuries would quickly recover.

"Hmm." The Ice Cold Supreme nodded slightly. "In the Canglan Illusionary Realm, as long as you don't perish on the spot and get out in time, you'll be fine."

During this trip to the Canglan Illusionary Realm, the Great Sword Master was seriously injured, and Ying Zheng also suffered a considerable injury, while the other masters were basically unharmed.

After Ying Zheng emerged, he chatted briefly with the assembled masters before departing to return to their respective dojos. Ying Zheng then went into seclusion to heal his injuries.

……

In the primordial universe, somewhere on the edge of the cosmos.

Here lies a deep, narrow void, like a crack that has split open in the primordial universe, stretching back and forth for the length of ten great realms.

This narrow abyss was so deep and boundless that it seemed to contain a terrifying black hole, devouring everything around it and turning it into nothingness and annihilation.

It has stood there in the void for countless years.

Suddenly, something seemed to change in the abyss. The crack collapsed, the entire abyss shattered, and a burly figure stepped out, crushing everything in its path!

As this figure appeared, the endless void around him trembled, and unparalleled power spread out, as if the entire universe was submitting to him.

"The Great Calamity of the Origin Realm has brought about the invasion of heretics. I have secluded myself for billions of years and have finally attained the Supreme Dao! From this day forward, in the Primordial Universe, I alone shall reign supreme! Ahahaha!"

He muttered to himself, then burst into wild laughter. With that laughter, vast swathes of void shattered, and a chaotic torrent surged forth!
That boundless power clearly surpassed even the Primordial Supreme!

After the maniacal laughter subsided, the figure standing proudly in the void had a slight thought: "I wonder what the Primordial Universe has become now?"

With this thought in mind, his divine sense spread out, extending throughout the entire primordial universe.

With his higher realm, surpassing even the Primordial Supreme, his divine sense successfully covered the entire universe.

"Huh? The Origin Realm is still there? Could it be that someone has restored it?!"

The man looked surprised.

"I wonder if those who have now entered the Origin Realm are from my Hongmeng Universe or from heretics from another universe?"

"Hmph, who cares? Now that I have emerged from seclusion, the position of ruler of this primordial universe should naturally belong to me!"

The man snorted coldly, then tore through the void, unleashing boundless power as he headed straight for the Origin Realm.

After the reconstruction of the Origin Realm, and after a long period of accumulation and development, the entire Origin Realm is full of vitality, and it seems to have faintly reproduced some of the appearance of the ancient Origin Realm at its peak.

Countless Primordial Supremes traveled back and forth, and in various realms, many great beings opened altars to preach the Dharma, and countless beings listened to the sound of the Dao.

The primordial energy tides generated by the breathing of countless beings are like a giant black hole, absorbing a large amount of primordial essence from the primordial universe and then releasing it.

A massive boundary barrier enveloped the entire Origin Realm, causing the boundary tides to surge and churn, creating a spectacular sight.

Besides the major realms, there are countless worlds, large and small, attached to the Origin Realm. The entire Origin Realm is a scene of prosperity and flourishing.

However, in the peaceful Origin Realm, an immeasurable power suddenly descended, enveloping and suppressing the entire Origin Realm.

This terrifying power far surpassed that of all the Venerables, and its boundless majesty crushed everything. In an instant, countless beings in the Origin Realm bowed and knelt in worship!

"I am the Demon Lord of the Flame! From this day forward, the Origin Realm shall be ruled by me, and all lords shall obey my commands! Those who submit to me shall enjoy the path to immortality; those who defy me shall be killed without mercy!"

Its roar was deafening, its majesty overwhelming, suppressing the heavens and the earth.

However, as soon as the voice fell, a leisurely voice came from the Origin Realm: "Who do we have here, making such a grand display? Anyone who doesn't know better would think it's a high priest from the Cosmic Alliance arriving. It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhiyan."

Upon hearing this voice, the Demon Lord Zhiyan immediately snorted coldly: "Hmph! So it's Emperor Wuxuan!"

As he spoke, the Supreme Flame Demon Lord's divine sense swept towards the location of the Martial Profound Emperor. From the Origin Realm's Jupiter Great Domain, a figure tore through the void and arrived in an instant—it was none other than the Martial Profound Emperor. (End of Chapter)
