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

"I've tried my best, I've tried my best, but this world-destroying millstone is just too powerful," sighed a defeated Primordial Saint.

“This is no tribulation that even a Primordial Saint could withstand…” another defeated Saint couldn’t help but sigh.

But as soon as he spoke, he noticed that there were still a few people inside stubbornly holding on, and he immediately shut his mouth in shame.

Actually, he was already quite good. It's just that the rest of the people were even more monstrous and harder to deal with.

The world-destroying millstone had fully taken shape, almost becoming tangible. A colossal millstone, covering the entire Great World, lay across the void, trapping the remaining dozen or so Primordial Saints within it, subjecting them to its merciless test.

The enormous millstone turned slowly, its terrifying power relentlessly grinding everything away, making every second feel like an eternity to those inside.

"I can't hold on any longer!" A Primordial Saint roared in despair, then his physical body cracked and shattered, thus failing.

By this time, half of the remaining Primordial Saints had followed the path of proving the Dao through force.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that, in terms of combat strength, there were indeed more powerful individuals who proved their Dao through force.

After the power of the World-Destroying Millstone reached its limit, several more Primordial Saints could not withstand it and had to retreat. In the end, only five people remained to persevere, and Yang Jian was among them.

When things reach their peak, they begin to decline.

After reaching its limit, the power of the World-Destroying Millstone finally began to decline little by little.

The entire world is now nothing but chaos! Terrifying chaotic currents surge wildly, creating utter turmoil.

Surrounded by this chaotic torrent, the remaining five looked at each other, each seeing solemnity and apprehension in the other's eyes.

Those who have been able to hold on until now are definitely the best among the Primordial Saints!
"Yang Jian has indeed not disappointed me!" Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't stop smiling as he watched Yang Jian overcome all obstacles to get here.

Of all the disciples of the three generations, Yang Jian was the one he valued the most.

"Yang Jian is indeed an extraordinary young man," Laozi couldn't help but nod in praise.

"Congratulations, Second Senior Brother!" Tongtian Sect Leader echoed.

“It seems that my nephew Yang Jian has a good chance of winning first place this time,” Taiyi said from behind Yuanshi Tianzun.

He has now attained enlightenment and become a venerable being.

Among the second-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, he was the only one who attained the highest level of enlightenment.

Although he and his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, were both Hunyuan Supreme Beings, he still served his master with the respect due to a disciple, standing respectfully to his master's left and right, along with all the other disciples of the Chan Sect.

"It's too early to say that now. I think the other four are no ordinary people either," Yu Ding said.

As they conversed, a new test was yet to come; the remaining five members of Yang Jian's group in the first Great World had already begun a fierce battle.

The five Primordial Saints fought fiercely in the chaotic torrent.

"Hah! Pan Shen's Ten Powers Descend!" Yang Jian roared, his true form transforming into a series of enormous fists that slammed out with unparalleled power, shattering everything in their path.

The Primordial Saint who was fighting against him was also a master who proved his Dao through strength. He roared and charged forward to fight Yang Jian.

Unfortunately, under Yang Jian's fierce offensive, he was quickly shattered!
After killing one of them, Yang Jian's power grew even stronger. He turned and glared at the three remaining fighters, "You three, come at me all at once! It'll save me the trouble of taking you down one by one!"

Everyone gasped when Yang Jian said this.

Those who have persevered until now, who among them is weak? They are all top-tier experts among the Primordial Saints! Yang Jian actually declared that he would fight three against one?! Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Too arrogant!"

"He's asking for it!"

"With one against three, Yang Jian is doomed to lose!"

"This boy has the potential to be invincible, but it would be unwise for him to act recklessly at this time."

The numerous onlookers and cultivators began to discuss the matter.

The three people named by Yang Jian were stunned for a moment before they all flew into a rage on the spot.

Yang Jian is looking down on them!

"Fellow Daoist, you are far too arrogant!!" one of them shouted at Yang Jian.

"Hmph, this man is so arrogant. Since he wants us to join forces, then let's join forces to kill him!" the second man said.

"You're asking for it!" the remaining man shouted sternly.

Immediately, the three who were originally engaged in a chaotic battle joined forces and charged towards Yang Jian.

At this moment, Yang Jian was fighting three against one!

Seeing the three masters rushing towards him, Yang Jian was not surprised but delighted, and he laughed wildly to the sky!
"Haha, today, here and now, I have slain three of my enemies!"

Having said that, Yang Jian unleashed his full magical power, roaring, "Hah! Cosmic Furnace!!" His entire body seemed to burst into flames, and behind him, a colossal phantom of a cosmic furnace materialized. With the enhancement of this phantom, his combat power instantly increased a hundredfold!
The Cosmic Furnace—this was Qin Shi Huang's unique skill.

The unparalleled supernatural power that he personally taught Yang Jian!
"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!"

After unleashing the Cosmic Furnace, Yang Jian roared, unleashing a barrage of punches that instantly obliterated a person. Even the vast chaos was torn apart!
"You...!" The other two were stunned by Yang Jian's imposing presence.

They both followed the path of proving their way through force, but neither of them was this extreme!

At this moment, the combat power that Yang Jian is displaying is probably unmatched even by a tenth-level Great Dao Saint!

"He must have used a secret technique to greatly increase his strength in a short period of time. This state cannot last! Let's retreat first and avoid his sharp edge!" one of the remaining two saints shouted sharply.

Clearly, this person possesses extremely keen insight.

However, at that moment, Yang Jian roared, "Want to leave? Not so easy!"

He swung his arm, tearing through the chaos, and terrifying fist light intertwined into a massive vortex that tightly gripped the two saints. Then, he unleashed a full-force attack, instantly blasting countless punches into this enormous vortex.

The fist trembled, and the two saints were instantly blasted into nothingness.

"I won!" Yang Jian declared loudly as he withdrew his fist in the void.

"so amazing!"

"Yang Jian is probably unmatched among the Primordial Saints."

"I heard that he is the grand-nephew of the Great Emperor, and has received the Great Emperor's personal instruction in supernatural powers. He may become the second Great Emperor in the future."

"He is only a Primordial Saint now, yet his combat power is already so astonishing. If he were to attain the Dao and become a Venerable in the future, he would probably immediately become a force to be reckoned with!"

"I can almost see an invincible, peerless powerhouse rising up!"

"That's true." In the center of the dojo, Ying Zheng nodded slightly in agreement.

"Among the three generations of disciples of the Chan Sect, he indeed had the highest talent and the greatest achievements," Ying Zheng said.

However, as he spoke, he seemed to remember something and smiled, "I almost forgot about Lingzhuzi and Lu Ya."

"Aren't Xuan Su Nu and the others considered your disciples?" Nuwa asked with a smile. "They are," Ying Zheng nodded in response.

As he spoke, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the second great world.

Besides Lu Ya, two other people from the Heavenly Emperor's Palace are also participating in this competition: Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu.

Both of them were sages of the Heavenly Dao.

Under the tutelage of Ying Zheng and Nuwa, their aptitude was second only to Lingzhuzi, and in fact, in terms of aptitude alone, they were even superior to Lingzhuzi.

Unfortunately, among the disciples of Nuwa Palace of this generation, although they are not at the bottom, they have faded into obscurity.

Among their generation, the most outstanding Lingzhuzi has already attained the Primordial Supreme Realm, which goes without saying.

Many others have already attained the Primordial Dao Sainthood. However, the two of them remain at the Heavenly Dao Sainthood level.

It wasn't that Ying Zheng and Nuwa were biased or deliberately ignored them, but rather that they genuinely had bad luck.

The two of them were destined to be entangled in a past life's love tribulations.

To help them resolve their emotional entanglements and sever their karmic ties, Nuwa allowed them to reincarnate multiple times.

Xuan Su Nu reincarnated more than a hundred times before she finally severed her ties with her lover.

Hong Fu Nu suffered an even worse fate, unable to sever her emotional entanglements even after a hundred reincarnations. In the end, Nuwa had no choice but to have her cultivate the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness of Emotions.

Even so, their Daoist hearts were still entangled by emotional ties, making it difficult for them to make progress in their cultivation.

Otherwise, given their qualifications and status as disciples of the Nuwa Palace, they would have already become Saints of the Primordial Dao, instead of wasting their lives until now.

Emotion is also the fundamental principle of the universe.

All sentient beings are sentient beings with feelings. Not to mention them, even saints cannot truly sever all emotions.

If one could truly sever all emotional ties, why would a sage care about his disciples and followers, or even fight to the death to secure opportunities for them?
Even the supreme beings of Hunyuan sometimes fight fiercely over face and pride.

These are all caused by emotions.

Life, emotions, time, and space—these are the fundamental principles of the universe, from which no one can truly transcend.

In the second great world, the test of annihilation also arrived.

A colossal world-destroying millstone enveloped the entire Great World. Compared to the world-destroying millstone in the first Great World, this one was larger and its calamity was far greater!
Beneath the millstone, one after another, the Heavenly Saints vanished into nothingness.

Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu each stood on their own side, struggling to resist the terrifying pressure of the world-destroying millstone.

The cultivation technique that Xuan Su Nu currently practices is called the Primordial Illusionary Transformation Technique. This is a wondrous technique that allows one to create countless clones, each cultivating a different Great Dao, ultimately feeding back to the original body. This technique was created by the Thousand Absolutes Supreme!
Qianjue Supreme was once a top power in the Hongmeng Universe, with cultivation comparable to that of Hongluo Immortal Venerable and others. Unfortunately, he died at the hands of the Great Creator God of the Spirit God Universe while guarding the Hongmeng Great Array.

His cultivation techniques were compiled by the Crimson Luo Immortal Venerable and placed in the Divine Net for people to read and practice.

After seeing this technique, Ying Zheng felt it was very suitable for Xuan Su Nu, so he had her practice it.

Hong Fu Nu cultivated the Supreme Dao of Forgetfulness.

This technique was created by Ying Zheng at Nuwa's request. Initially, its main feature was to sever all distracting thoughts and focus solely on the Dao.

The origin of this method is called the Supreme Pure Mind Great Way, which was also created by a supreme being in the Origin Realm.

The inherent characteristic of this practice is that it involves constantly eliminating distracting thoughts during the cultivation process, thereby preserving spiritual purity and intelligence, and thus maintaining an advantage in cultivation.

However, after obtaining this technique, Ying Zheng made some improvements to it.

The improved technique has changed its effects, transforming from the original state of pure mind into a metamorphosis.

After each transformation, the cultivator is reborn, as if reborn.

Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu's cultivation levels are among the top in the Heavenly Dao Saints.

Furthermore, both of them cultivated supreme Dao techniques, possessing formidable combat power, which allowed them to hold on until now. However, at this point, even the two of them were struggling to maintain their strength, and defeat seemed imminent.

"Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu are probably not going to be able to hold on much longer," Nuwa couldn't help but say.

"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded in agreement. He had naturally noticed this as well.

Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu have done quite well to have persevered this long. After all, there are over a million Heavenly Saints participating in this competition.

Sure enough, while Nuwa and Ying Zheng were talking, Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu collapsed almost simultaneously, their physical bodies disintegrating and turning to ashes.

However, at this moment, Xuan Su Nu's physical body did not disappear after it shattered, but instead transformed into a series of illusory forms.

At the same time, a leisurely voice rang out: "As long as the illusory body is immortal, my body will never perish!"

As these words fell, the multiple illusory forms overlapped and transformed back into Xuan Su Nu's true form! Moreover, at this moment, her cultivation had actually broken through the Heavenly Dao Saint realm and entered the Great Dao Saint realm!
Moreover, her path of breakthrough did not stop after she reached the realm of the Great Dao Saint.

Her cultivation level surged like a tidal wave, and in the blink of an eye, she crossed the threshold of the second stage of the Great Dao Saint. Then, she broke through the third stage with unstoppable momentum, and finally reached the fifth stage!
In a single breath, she went straight from the Heavenly Dao Saint realm to the fifth level of the Great Dao Saint realm before finally stopping.

This feat of breaking through five realms in succession left everyone speechless with astonishment at Xuan Su Nu's current performance.

Not only Xuan Su Nu, but also Hong Fu Nu, after her physical body shattered, a brand new figure slowly emerged from the broken shell.

"Today I pass away here, severing all delusions, karmic obstacles, and cause and effect, dedicating myself solely to the attainment of enlightenment!"

As soon as Hong Fu Nu finished speaking, she, like Xuan Su Nu, instantly broke through to the Heavenly Dao Saint realm and achieved the Dao Fruit of the Great Dao Saint.

However, unlike Xuan Su Nu, Hong Fu Nu only entered the second stage of the Great Dao Saint after breaking through to the Great Dao Saint realm.

"Since you two have already achieved the status of Great Dao Saints, you have automatically lost your eligibility to participate!"

Ying Zheng's voice rang out, and then he waved his sleeve, instantly sending Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu out of this great world.

"Disqualified..."

Xuan Su Nu and Hong Fu Nu exchanged a bitter smile, then both bowed to Ying Zheng and Nuwa, saying, "We respectfully obey Your Majesty's decree."

Although it's a bit of a pity to lose the qualification, it's already an incredible stroke of luck to have made such a great progress in cultivation.

"The two of them have truly broken free from their cocoons and been reborn, achieving a phoenix-like ascension," Nuwa remarked.

"Hmm," Ying Zheng responded. Even he hadn't expected that the two of them would deliberately take this opportunity to put him under extreme pressure, using this risky move to break through the shackles.

The competition for the Primordial Saints ended with Yang Jian's victory. With a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng caused the entire Great World to vanish without a trace, and Yang Jian reappeared.

"Yang Jian, you are the victor of the Heavenly Emperor Domain in the Primordial Saint Realm. After the victors of the other domains are determined, you will represent the Heavenly Emperor Domain in the finals!" Ying Zheng said.

"Yes! Yang Jian obeys!" Yang Jian shouted sternly.

He cultivated himself silently, concealing his brilliance, all for the sake of making a name for himself today and shocking the world.

At this moment, he exuded an invincible aura and unwavering conviction!

In the preliminary rounds of the Emperor's Domain, the first Great World concluded first, followed by the second Great World. (End of Chapter)
