Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 560 The Abandoned Son of the World
Woo~!

A deep, ethereal cry echoed across the sea, causing the spiritual energy flowing in the air to vibrate strangely.

The space was filled with layers of visible folds.

It was like a domain, covering the surrounding area for dozens of miles.

Rumble!
Giant waves surged into the sky, some even breaking through the thick, dark clouds that covered the heavens.

Zhou Xian, wielding his sword, broke through the turbulent water vapor. His body moved like a shooting star, and the dark blue sword light continuously tore through the inky black sea surface, plunging into the seawater.

Beneath the surface, the pale blue crystals on the back of the deep-sea whale king have now turned deep blue.

The high spiritual energy contained within it became scorching hot due to overload operation, and the single horn on its forehead was like a divine blade, constantly shattering the blades that attacked it.

In the gaps between shattering the blade's edge, it could occasionally emit beams of deep blue light from its single horn on its forehead, striking Zhou Xian, who was constantly swimming on the sea surface.

The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.

At this moment, it was outside the area of ​​spiritual energy fluctuation.

The combat team led by Zhou Xian stood on the sea, receiving signals from the psionic observation satellite launched two years ago through specially made receivers, and observing the situation on the battlefield.

Everyone looked tense, watching the data changes on the receiver.

The light cluster representing Zhou Xian's spiritual power was pale gold, but it was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Compared to the beginning, one-third has already been consumed.

The pale blue light cluster representing the spiritual power of the deep-sea whale king was dozens of times stronger than Zhou Xian's!
Furthermore, judging solely from the data fed back by the psionic observation satellites, not even one-twentieth of the total psionic energy has been consumed...

Looking at the contents of the receiver in the hand of the person in front of him, a man who looked somewhat nonchalant frowned.

"The captain's condition doesn't seem optimistic."

As he spoke, a barely concealed hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

Because everyone else was more focused on the situation on the battlefield, no one noticed anything unusual about him.

“No matter who the opponent is, the captain will win!” the woman who had spoken earlier immediately retorted.

Whether it's the progress of cultivation or the practical exercises held by 'Heng', the captain is always number one!
“I also believe in the captain,” another person spoke up.

The speaker was over two meters tall, with a robust build that towered over the others, and a resolute face.

"However, we must also prepare for the worst. If something goes wrong with the captain, we must apply for Level 3 weapon access immediately!"

Pang Long, Qi Refining Level 8.

He is the person with the highest cultivation level among the new Star Rising beings, second only to Zhou Xian!
He was also the deputy captain of this "Operation Hunting the Sea".

……

……

"This is really..."

Outside of Qixing, Zhou Kongming remained seated in the void, watching the sea area where Zhou Xian and the Deep Sea Whale King were fighting.

Of course, he also noticed the situation of Zhou Xian's teammates.

emm...

What should I say...

If it were an ordinary person, they probably would never imagine that the burly man who was over two meters tall was actually a child who was not even ten years old.

Rapid growth technologies enable them to grow quickly, and their experiences with virtual reality technology allow them to build a complete understanding in a short period of time...

This also resulted in these 'children' who were only a few years old not only looking no different from normal adults in terms of physical appearance.

Moreover, their mental development is exactly the same as that of normal adults.

The fate of the world is in the hands of a group of 'children'...

That sounds pretty ridiculous!

After mentally grumbling a few times, Zhou Kongming continued to examine the deep-sea whale king, or more accurately, the mountain-like pale blue crystals on its back.

"At the ninth level of Qi Refining, he possesses this level of total spiritual power."

Although it had consumed many spiritual objects, causing its bloodline to mutate, it hadn't reached this point.

It is precisely because of the unique nature of this world that a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator can be born with a total spiritual energy that is dozens, or even nearly a hundred times that of a normal cultivator.

If this were in the Tai Xuan Realm, the whale would have already collapsed due to its overwhelming amount of spiritual energy.

"and……"

The scale of this confrontation was truly extraordinary.

It was clearly just a battle between two people at the ninth level of Qi Refining, yet it caused the sea to tremble, the waves to surge, and the resulting tsunami even managed to break through the dark clouds in the sky...

It's impossible, not even in the starry sky, let alone the Central Continent!

Only the current level of returning to the void is a world of the starry universe type.

Only its incredibly loose legal structure allows the ninth level of Qi Refining to exert such exaggerated destructive power.

"Judging from the current situation, this kid should have no problem killing this giant whale."

Zhou Xian, after all, possessed memories of his 'past life,' and his supernatural abilities far surpassed those of cultivators who were just beginning their careers in this era.

Even if one only manages to master two of them, it would still be considered a 'dimensional reduction attack' for a cultivator at this stage.

however……

Is it really that simple?

Although Zhou Kongming thought the world's will was an idiot.

But in reality, the world's will is not stupid.

The purpose of creating this 'reborn' was precisely to target Zhou Kongming. However, the problem is that Zhou Xian himself, under Zhou Kongming's 'influence,' has already 'abandoned darkness and embraced light.'

For the world's will, this is undoubtedly a blatant betrayal!

How could He possibly tolerate a 'traitorous' child of the world continuing to enjoy the 'favor of the world' and smoothly continue his cultivation?

Of course, the world's will itself cannot directly interfere with the world, so...

We'll have to use another method!

as predicted!

Just as Zhou Kongming realized this, he suddenly noticed that the lights of the stars seemed to flicker in unison.

A mysterious and strange fluctuation enveloped Qixing.

The almost tangible 'worldly favor' surrounding Zhou Xian vanished into thin air, leaving him no different from an ordinary person.
Instead, wisps of a unique aura, representing the 'favor of the world,' appeared around the Deep Sea Whale King.

Clearly, Zhou Xian, the 'chosen one of the world,' has been abandoned!

……

……

At this moment, Qixing.

On the boundless sea, the thick, dark clouds that had covered the entire sky were torn open with gaps of varying sizes.

A beam of light shone through, illuminating the white foam created by the crashing waves.

Woo~!

The deep, resonant whale calls were no longer as ethereal as before; instead, they carried a hint of impatience and anger.

Around the massive body of the Deep Sea Whale King, pale golden chains stretched and intertwined, completely binding its body.

The intense heat from the chains scorched through the skin and flesh.

No matter how much it struggled, it could not break free from those seemingly delicate chains.

Zhou Xian remained calm, his straight sword held upright in front of him, his other hand pressed against the back of the blade with fingers pointing like a sword.

The dark blue blade is crisscrossed with golden patterns.

Strands of spiritual energy flowed beneath his feet, transforming into bright golden threads that meandered and outlined an incredibly mysterious array.

Qianyang Refining Spirit Blade Formation!
Every blade of light that was shattered before was a preparation for setting up this blade formation!
"Today I will offer you as a sacrifice to build the foundation of my supreme path!"

Zhou Xian said coldly, his eyes shining brightly.

"Humanity!"

At this moment, the Deep Sea Whale King finally uttered its second sentence in human language.

He used to look down on these weak humans and disdain speaking their language.

However, at this moment, he was driven to the brink of despair by these weak humans!
This filled him with shock, anger, and fear.

why? !

Why can't I beat him even though his energy is so much lower than mine?!
Anger, shock, and confusion intertwined in my heart, but were ultimately overwhelmed by the excruciating pain emanating from all parts of my body.

Woo~!

Amidst the mournful cry of the deep-sea whale king, the frequency of the spiritual energy flowing in the air rose even higher.

However, Zhou Xian's gaze remained indifferent, unaffected in the slightest.

"open!"

Buzz~!

As the array patterns rotated and expanded, flames roared, and waves of fire instantly spread across the sea.

While activating the Qianyang Refining Spirit Blade Formation, Zhou Xian also mobilized his remaining spiritual power to refine the primordial talent he had seized.

He planned to use the vortex in his soul to plunder the entire foundation of the Deep Sea Whale King, thereby refining a supreme divine power seed and achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm in one fell swoop!
But the next moment!
Zhou Xian was horrified to discover that the vortex in his soul that could refine the talents of all races had inexplicably vanished into thin air.

I also felt something extremely important was being pulled away from me and drifting away...

The eerie feeling caused him to lose his composure for a moment, and his control over spiritual power was momentarily compromised.

The Deep Sea Whale King would certainly not let go of this hard-won opportunity!
Woo~!

With a long cry, the pale blue crystals attached to its back erupted with full force.

boom!
The spiritual energy surged like waves, spreading outwards and forcefully breaking the spiritual energy chains binding her body!
The next moment, all the emotions in his eyes disappeared, replaced by 'surprise' and 'melancholy'.

I remember it now, I remember it all!
From a lowly whale to a deep-sea whale king who roams the ocean, and then to the supreme Xuanyin who commands the stars and reigns supreme over all races...

All the experiences he had gone through in his past life, the hardships he had endured with every step, now appeared in his soul like incredibly clear scenes...

I have been reborn!

The immense spiritual power within his body began to flow along a mysterious trajectory, the pale blue crystals on his back that stored the spiritual power gradually disappeared, and even his enormous size began to shrink little by little.

Zhou Xian, having regained his senses, wanted to continue his attack, but as soon as he had this thought, an extremely strong sense of danger rose in his heart.

It seems that in this short period of time, the strength of the Deep Sea Whale King has improved by leaps and bounds.

Within that vast yet oppressive spiritual energy field, the massive, mountain-like body of the Deep Sea Whale King began to shrink little by little, eventually transforming into a whale-headed, human-bodied, robust figure over three meters tall.

His deep blue, jewel-like eyes stared at Zhou Xian, burning with killing intent, and he uttered a sentence:
"The henchmen of the world destroyers..."

Zhou Xian: "..."

He seemed to understand what this guy in front of him had been through.
