Destiny is ashes

Chapter 960 Vast Emptiness, Celestial Divine Power (13)

Huai Xu is vast and boundless, but it only has ten continents... So, just how big are these continents?

If we only consider the land on the sea, it is actually not very large, only about 1.3 million li in circumference. The Manifestation Saint True Lord transformed into the void and rode on light, and could cover the entire area in less than ten breaths.

However, if we include the various mountain gates and grotto heavens, hidden spiritual realms, and various earth vein spaces and blessed lands that rely on the Huai Xu spiritual veins on the mainland, then this number will expand to about six million li in radius.

It looks big, but it's actually just so-so. The war between the Heavenly Monarchs shook space and time, affecting billions of people, enough to shake the entire continent.

However, this is merely a tiny 'protrusion' revealing the sky and sea.

The true land of emptiness... is infinite.

Below it lies the endless Houtu land. Although going deeper into it transforms it into a sea of ​​lava and fire, or even a dense star core of solidified steel, or even more advanced chaotic gold, even if Lingxiao used his boundless divine power to penetrate downwards, he could not find the 'end'.

Neither the 'back side of Huaixu Continent' nor the 'bottom layer' exists.

As for the 'Youli Sea', which is also known as the Netherworld, it is another overlapping spacetime dimension, not below the material world.

And it extends infinitely in all directions—below the four seas at the edge of Zhonghengdao Continent lies an endless land. According to a Heavenly Lord who had nothing better to do, He once used the Taixu technique, relying solely on His Dharma Body to fly to a distance of 1,503,700 billion miles. Beneath the sea and sky, there was still the vast and endless Huaixu land. Volcanoes erupted in the abyss, and humans and sea creatures still thrived on the surrounding islands and seabed, albeit in a more primitive form. Even with the limits of His abilities, He could not find any 'material connection' between the continents.

The Blood Sea Demonic Cult is hiding within it, and even with the power of the Heavenly Sect, they cannot find any trace of them in this seemingly endless sea.

In order to explore the limits of the earth, the founder of the Heavenly Sect of the Western Netherworld Continent, the founder of the Star-Picking Mountain, the Boundless Great Heavenly Venerable, once conducted an astonishing experiment.

With his peak martial arts cultivation at the Nine Heavens of Refining the Dao, this Great Celestial Venerable unleashed the fundamental divine power of Zhaixing Mountain, "The Ultimate Point of My Dao," upon the land then known as Xizhen Yuezhou. This divine power could instantly reach the farthest point that an existence's ability could reach. With the strength of the Boundless Great Celestial Venerable, the distance he could traverse in his lifetime was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even if he could transform into light and escape, or even distort space and time to traverse space and time using the Great Void Technique, he could persist for nearly ten thousand years.

However, even this distance of 'light traveling for ten thousand years' cannot explore the 'limits' of the Huai Xu land.

This great divine power backfired, completely annihilating the 'Vairocana Divine Mountain Range' in the center of Xizhen Yuezhou, and blasting out a 'Nether Abyss' in the center of the continent that no one could fathom. From then on, Xiyouyuan Continent had little land left, and the entire continent was completely transformed into a ring-shaped abyss with countless seas of clouds and floating mountains within it.

The principle of "Reflection Arises from Realm" established by Baizhaixing Mountain makes it easier to construct grotto-heavens in this continent. Various sects and kingdoms construct their own sect and kingdom grotto-heavens using the laws of time and space. However, they all need to draw upon the 'Dust of the Universe' that was transformed from the annihilation of the ancient Weilu Divine Mountain from the Abyss in order to maintain their existence.

Huai Xu is so vast and boundless... What is limited are the creatures living on the earth, not this great world.

but.

Even such a vast and boundless continent and sea... is in turmoil at this moment.

The entire Zhonghengdao Continent is trembling.

When the seventeen celestial deities manifested simultaneously, boundless divine light spread endlessly across the sky, transforming into a substantial, pressure-laden tide.

Sweeping across this vast and mighty light, even spacetime was rippled. The immense Heavenly Sea Dragon Court below, comparable to a world in the clouds, was completely impacted and forcibly pressed down by tens of thousands of feet, as if it were being slapped down from the sky by an incomparably colossal god, about to be forced back to the earth!
Although the Dragon Court was not greatly damaged because the Dragon Court Formation was still in place, the Dragon Kings who controlled the Dragon Court had to resort to their ultimate measures in order to prevent the Dragon Court from being suppressed by the Heavenly Venerables.

With a long roar, the countless cloud vortexes that made up the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court began to change and flow violently, and then, as if it were an egg-shaped form, it stretched and transformed into a majestic beast with a body of hundreds of thousands of miles in length... A sky cloud dragon of unbelievable size, whose head could not be seen from its tail!

"It looks impressive, but isn't it just a way to run away...?"

An Jing watched the Dragon Court transform into a dragon, feeling somewhat speechless. Under his gaze, the Heavenly Sea Dragon Court resembled a snail carrying a huge home, heading away from the Zhaolin Realm. Although its momentum was magnificent, how could a snail be considered a dragon?

never mind.

Seventeen Celestial Venerables, that's the initial situation. It's hard to say how many more Celestial Venerables will appear in Anjing... Anyway, given the foundation of Huaixu Realm, it wouldn't be surprising if that number doubled again.

But it's best not to add any more.

Because the will, laws, and power of the Celestial Venerables are in conflict, the earth veins and the sea of ​​the entire Zhongheng Dao Continent are trembling violently. A huge tsunami, soaring hundreds or thousands of miles into the air, is crashing towards all the coastlines of Zhongheng Dao Continent. If it weren't for the fact that the Shangxuan Sect and other sects in Zhongheng Dao Continent had already constructed the [Central Divine Court Array], the aftershocks alone would have killed countless lives and pushed countless coastal cities and villages directly into the sea.

With a sound so loud that almost no one could hear it, spacetime was boiled, evaporated, and shattered, centered on the Zhaolin Realm in mid-air, forming an immeasurable, enormous, pitch-black void in the center of heaven and earth!

At this moment, the entrance to the Scale Realm became even clearer, appearing as a massive streak of light suspended in the pitch-black void.

As the wave spread, the ruins left behind in front of the Ancestral Dragon Palace, as well as the cultivators and servants in mid-air who had no time to escape and no one to protect them, all vanished into nothingness in this endless light and shattered spacetime without even a scream.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Isn't this a sure way to die?!"

Not far away, a survivor who had been 'lucky' to escape the massive aftershocks cried out in despair. His face was as white as paper and he was sweating profusely, but even so, he was considered calm. Many others were trembling all over, their spirits broken, and even writing a will felt meaningless, since they knew it would never be left behind.

"I'm doomed... I should never have come to this banquet..."

They didn't even have the thought of struggling. Even though they were the most outstanding young talents, they were nothing more than dust and ants in the face of the Celestial Venerables who stood at the pinnacle of this world.

Yes.

If it weren't for the unique and powerful Huai Xu Realm, in an ordinary world, a martial arts master could completely control, suppress, and even usurp the will of heaven and devour the heavenly way.

It was only in Huai Xu that the Heavenly Dao could suppress these martial arts masters, Lingxiao, who could manipulate time, sever cause and effect, annihilate all phenomena, and create birth and death.

"Anjing, what should we do?"

At this moment, Jin Yanhua's gaze was also extremely solemn: "If all else fails, we will call upon the power of the distant heavens to retreat... But such a strange change in the Zhaolin Realm must mean that there is an incredible, enormous change within it, far exceeding any other change!"

“This must be a great achievement!” she said with certainty. “Even if it means death, I will go inside. But... will you all survive?”
