Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 643 Heavenly Emperor, can you break the shackles on my body that are as heavy as the sky?
Heavenly Emperor's Treasury

Above the blue waves of the East China Sea.

Whether it was the three Dragon Kings of the Four Seas or the seventeen sect leaders, all of them looked on in disbelief.

"Forgot the Dao for six thousand years!"

Some people can truly defy the passage of time.

As the sword-wielding youth unleashed that sword strike across the river of time, he and the woman in white drifted away into the distance.

The illusory giant cauldron that enveloped the sea and sky also quietly disappeared.

The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury has been closed again.

Only one sentence, spoken with a gentle melody, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Heaven and earth are the inn of all things; time is the passing guest of a hundred generations."

"Within a hundred years, the Ascension Platform will open, allowing one to ascend to this realm."

Upon hearing this, all those with intelligence understood its meaning.

The farmers and herdsmen of Fangcun Mountain smiled, "Although there have been setbacks, the time is in our favor!"

The three dragon kings exchanged glances, their eyes blazing with divine light.

Each sect leader had a different expression in their eyes.

The era of great contention is finally about to begin.

This time, no one can stand idly by and watch the battle unfold—not only the three factions, but also the Dragon Clan!
All living beings in this world are like this.

The treasure ship of Fangcun Mountain.

Duanmu Xiwei walked on the fence, listening to the sounds that resonated throughout the world.

Within a hundred years!

She was merely a cultivator who had barely survived the Second Heavenly Tribulation, and the path to ascension was far removed from her own.

However, Duanmu Xiwei knew that once the Ascension Platform opened, the peaceful balance of the three paths that had existed for 1,700 years would be broken.

Even if Fangcun Mountain wanted to remain aloof, it probably wouldn't be able to.

Even if Fangcun Mountain wanted to remain uninvolved, it's likely... it's beyond its control.

Is it a blessing or a curse?

When one attains enlightenment, countless bones lie scattered!

Heavenly Emperor's Treasury

On the ascension platform.

A voice suddenly rang in the young man's ear.

"You will have a very difficult life in this lifetime!"

"It is rare to be so free, so let us strive to cross, strive to cross!"

The young man in blue slowly raised his eyes.

Just then, the figure carrying the sword cleaved through the long river of time, carrying the woman in white upstream, disappearing into the depths of eternity.

~

The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury slowly closed, and the rosy light gradually faded.

Everyone finally recovered from the shock and disbelief of the dramatic turn of events.

Is it all... over?

The woman in white has vanished into the river of time along with Xie Guan.

On the Ascension Platform, the figure bathed in rosy light still stood; the Heavenly Emperor had not departed.

The middle-aged man slowly straightened up, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

That familiar oppressive aura once again enveloped the ascension platform.

Of the three supreme grandmasters present, only the Nine Yang True Man remains; the Demon Lord of All Living Beings and the Celestial Being have already departed.

[The dragon clan members Ao Ming, Ao Qing, Dan Ling, and Zi Shan Jun, among others, are all injured.]

[Within the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, the suppression of the Great Dao still exists; one must not surpass the Golden Core cultivation level.]

[And the Heavenly Emperor before us is not only at his peak, but his cultivation has also reached the pinnacle of this realm—the Supreme Grandmaster realm!]

[When they were at the same level, the Heavenly Emperor didn't even take them seriously, let alone now that his cultivation had surpassed the peak of this realm.]

However, the Heavenly Emperor's gaze bypassed the crowd and landed directly on you. "Within a hundred years, the Ascension Platform will reopen."

"With your talent... you cannot be allowed to live."

The invisible pressure instantly subsided, transforming into a tangible restraint that enveloped you.

The void began to distort, and dark vortexes emerged from all directions, slowly closing in. It seems that upon breaking through to the Golden Core stage of the Great Dao, the Heavenly Emperor's "Great Luo Treasure Vault" can be activated without close proximity.

This is practically a dead end.

[Zishan Jun, suppressing his injuries, shouted fiercely, "Attack together! Otherwise, we will all perish here!"]

"The Heavenly Emperor acts with caution and would never leave any hidden dangers a hundred years from now."

"Now that he's decided to kill us, he'll never let us go!"

[Danling nodded upon hearing this, and once again summoned the illusory yellow River of Oblivion, within which flickering soul shadows and incessant wails.]

He revealed his true form with eight arms, his mouth and nose bulging, devouring countless souls!

[His cultivation level skyrocketed, reaching the "Unity of All Things" realm of the Dragon Court!]

Not only Dan Ling, but also True Person Jiu Yang and Ao Ming simultaneously made their moves, each using secret techniques to forcibly elevate their cultivation to the peak of the Dragon Court Realm.

However, the Heavenly Emperor's current realm far surpasses that of others, and his supernatural powers and methods are unfathomable.

The black vortex had completely engulfed Zhou Jing.

[The Nine Yang Immortal pushed the "Innate Five Virtues Revolving Scripture" to its limit, and in a flash, he appeared before the Heavenly Emperor, gathering the essence of the five virtues to unleash the most powerful attack of his life.]

However, the Heavenly Emperor merely slowly opened his five fingers, and instantly, transparent spatial barriers appeared around the Nine Yang True Man.

[To completely imprison him within.]

As the Heavenly Emperor gently closed his fingers, the entire space suddenly collapsed, and the flesh, soul, and Dao source within were all crushed into nothingness in an instant, leaving only a handful of ashes to drift away.

[Master Jiuyang has fallen!]

The fact that a supreme grandmaster had died so easily left Ao Qing and the others pale-faced.

This was none other than the Nine Yang True Man, hailed as the foremost cultivator of our time, yet he was utterly destroyed, body and soul!

[It's not that Master Jiuyang's cultivation is insufficient, but rather that his cultivation is restricted by spatial techniques.]

The Heavenly Emperor's divine intervention is unsolvable.

The imposing middle-aged man, however, seemed to merely brush away a speck of dust, his gaze sweeping once more over the assembled crowd.

Below the Ascension Platform, disciples from all sects were deathly pale.

The Dao Ling Sect and the Zi Yang Academy were devastated, as if they had lost their parents. The Nine Yang True Man was not only the leader of the righteous path, but also their pillar of strength.

Xu Wuji's eyes were bloodshot; this elder had always treated him with great care.

Cao An and Gu Yu exchanged a sorrowful glance. Even the greatest man of their time could not escape this calamity; they feared they too would perish today.

As the leader of all sects, a pillar of the righteous path respected by thousands, how could I possibly perish here?

No! There must still be a glimmer of hope...

Looking around, the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury is isolated from heaven and earth; where can one escape to?

Tian Jingxu, Zhuang Xiuyin, and the others forced themselves to remain calm, their eyes fixed on the battle unfolding on the ascension platform.

Lu Beiyou's gaze, however, fell upon a spot on the ascension platform where a quiet, yellow talisman had appeared, its form ethereal and seemingly unnoticed by anyone.

The talisman quietly ignited right where Xie Guan had left, and a faint aura silently enveloped the entire ascension platform.

The spatial fluctuations surrounding Ao Ming, Zi Shan Jun, Dan Ling, and Ao Qing, shattered by the Heavenly Emperor's grasp, rippled like pebbles thrown into a lake.

The back-and-forth spatial fluctuations caused severe injuries.

Before a Heavenly Emperor of this level, their struggles would be futile.

The Heavenly Emperor could kill them in an instant, following in the footsteps of the Nine Yang Immortal.

However, the middle-aged man bathed in the glow of the sunset completely ignored the four heavily injured members of the Purple Mountain Lord group and looked towards the young man in blue robes, whose calm eyes were gradually being enveloped by the black vortex.

"You deserve to be killed by me personally."

The Heavenly Emperor stretched out his arm to him, then slowly clenched his fist.

"Destroy the Netherworld!"

The black vortex gradually accelerated and converged.

However, before death could arrive, the boy spontaneously activated his primordial spirit and body, causing them to self-destruct.

[Purple Mountain Lord's eyes were bulging with tears, "No—!"]

[In the eyes of Yue Yunqing, Zhuang Xiuyin, and the others, there was disbelief.]

[The people of Fangcun Mountain stand before Qi Ling!]

Zhou Jing is dead!

~

The last moment before the boy in blue disappeared.

His gaze calmly swept over the Heavenly Emperor before him, then turned to the depths of the endless void:

"The Heavenly Emperor... can you break the shackles on me that are as vast as the heavens?"

P.S.: My darlings and gentlemen, please vote for me at the beginning of the month! Thank you!
