From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

After leaving the Cloud Mist Mountain domain, Xu Xing summoned the "Haotian Mirror," and with a thought, condensed it into a sword, which he then poured into the mirror, piercing through the endless void and locking onto the universe he had once visited.

In his perception, this "island," which also floats above the sea of ​​suffering, is of a very similar size to the Yangshen Universe.

The difference lies in the fact that above this material universe, there floats another world that is increasingly vast, like a mist, and has even gradually seeped into the "Sea of ​​Bitterness".

This must be the “world of boundless mystery and vast expanse”.

This world, which is said to have been created by the descent of Buddha and Taoist deities, can only be described as pure and wondrous. Even with the level of Xu Xing, separated by the boundless ocean of realms, it is difficult to fully comprehend it.

In addition, unlike this universe, which is teeming with powerful beings and home to numerous Yang Gods, the material universe of that world is occupied by a dense black aura, with eight or nine tenths of its area covered by it.

At the very center of the material universe lies a black hole that commands immense attention.

Unlike the ethereal and unfathomable "mysterious and boundless world," this black hole radiates its energy throughout the eight directions and six realms, without any concealment, domineering and unparalleled, truly covering the entire world without any omissions.

Xu Xing observed for only a moment, but he felt that the entire universe had shifted towards the black hole by a barely perceptible amount of time.

It is conceivable that, given enough time, the entire material universe will eventually collapse into it and perish completely.

If we're talking about sheer power, this black hole surpasses the Longevity Emperor, the Creation Daoist, and even all the powerful beings throughout the history of the Yangshen Universe.

Because the Yangshen universe has an era ending of 129,600 years, while that universe has never had such a claim, and even this "black hole" itself is the source of all calamities.

It is the embodiment of the beginning of all demonic paths and the end of the universe, the strongest being in the material universe—the Primordial Demon Ancestor!
Since the beginning of time, countless billions of years have passed, but the "Primordial Demon Ancestor" has always existed. If converted into the counting method of the Yang God Universe, it would be at least several hundred epochs.

In the words of Master Shenji, even a pig could ascend to immortality in such a long time, let alone the Primordial Demon Ancestor.
However, at their level, pure power accumulation can no longer be considered a decisive factor influencing the outcome of a battle. Xu Xing was also very interested in experiencing the ultimate skills of this Demon Ancestor.

Having determined the location, Xu Xing didn't hesitate for a moment. He poured all his fist intent, magic power, and spiritual thoughts into the mirror. With a flicker, he entered the smooth mirror surface and disappeared into the boundless void.

This was the first time Xu Xing had manipulated the Haotian Mirror with his own will, actively choosing the crossing point and controlling the entire process of traversing the void. Naturally, it felt different from before.

Just before entering the mirror, Xu Xing felt an unparalleled sense of satisfaction and pride.

He remembered that he had made a promise with someone.

But now it seems that the agreement that would take countless hours for the two of them to reach and had an extremely low probability of success is no longer out of reach, thanks to the help of the Haotian Mirror.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing couldn't help but smile slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he entered the mirror completely, and felt that in that instant, his incomparably vast divine perception suddenly changed extremely frequently, even to the point of being chaotic.

It was as if at this very moment, Xu Xing was no longer a supreme powerhouse who was rare throughout the ages, but just an ordinary person. Suddenly, he soared into the clouds and flew away, all he could see was a chaotic mix of colors, making it impossible to see clearly.

Even though the changes in time and space were so intense, Xu Xing was not a truly ordinary person. What he sensed first were three faint, seemingly present yet absent, yet truly traversing the heavens and seas.

Although these three auras were quite different from before, Xu Xing was able to identify them with just a light probe, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Um?!"

"Um?!"

On a desolate planet covered in red and black ashes, there was a silver-white giant about twenty or thirty feet tall, who was meticulously waving his hands, assuming a fist stance that was perfectly round and orderly from the inside out.

If Xu Xing could see this, he would recognize it as an authentic Tai Chi Hu Lei stance, with many subtleties. It allows one to cultivate both essence, energy, and spirit in a single posture, making it a truly unique skill.

Behind this giant stood a burly man in a Taoist robe, with a tortoise-shaped back and a wildly bushy beard, resembling more of a rough and burly warrior than a Taoist priest. He stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely:

"Tai means great, and Ji means the ultimate. Taiji is a supreme and great martial art."

Although the giant couldn't understand what "big" or "endless" meant, he clearly understood the second half of the sentence, and a leisurely and wistful expression couldn't help but show on his resolute iron face.

Just then, the Taoist suddenly fell silent, turned his head, and looked towards a certain place in the universe.

The moment he opened his eyes, a pure, clear, domineering, and unrestrained wave rippled out from all parts of his body, converging into a golden-red flame that burned and sublimated with abandon, as if it had completely unleashed the potential of his life!

The light was dazzling and brilliant to the extreme, reaching the heavens and the earth, shooting out from the planet's surface like a colossal tower soaring into the sky. The entire thick crust of the planet seemed to melt into this light, becoming crystal clear and revealing no secrets.

This "ultimate skill" was just one of the warm-up moves that Zhang Sanfeng tailored for the giant god. He had three or four thousand such preparatory moves, each unique and with its own merits.

The giant's limbs were strong and powerful, covered with red and blue stripes, and its face resembled a dark silver mask. Its left eye emitted a blue-green flame, adding a touch of ferocious wildness to its sacred and solemn aura.

Sensing the Taoist's aura, he couldn't help but lower his head and look at the instructor. He scratched his head helplessly with his right hand and let out a roar, seemingly to say something.

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head, and with a sway of his body, the excessively fierce and powerful true energy that almost crushed the planet was withdrawn back into his body.

Rather than saying it was absorbed into the body, it would be more accurate to say that it completely dissipated into nothingness and merged into the universe.

It was as if that was just a common power in the universe. The old Taoist simply took it and used it, then returned it to its rightful owner without any intention of keeping it.

Upon seeing this level of power, the silver-white giant's gaze grew even more reverent. The reason he had come here to learn was precisely to acquire this kind of power.

A peculiar wave of thought emanated from him, traveled into Zhang Sanfeng's mind, and then transformed into the language the old Taoist was most familiar with.

"Respected... Sky Mender... Just now, that was..."

Contrary to its appearance, this silver-white giant's communication skills were extremely poor, beyond being described as "inarticulate"; it was as if it had never lived in civilized society.

Of course, this is indeed the case.

The giant of light from the M421 Nebula, despite possessing immense power capable of destroying cities, shaking mountains, and shattering seas, lives a relatively primitive hunting life, making him a complete "savage."

However, both his tone and expression conveyed his reverence for Zhang Sanfeng. The title "He who mends the heavens" was not self-proclaimed by Zhang Sanfeng, but rather a title of respect bestowed upon him by all races of the universe.

Decades ago, a devastating war broke out in this universe, causing galaxies to collapse and the sun and moon to perish. The resulting spacetime rupture nearly destroyed the entire universe.

At this critical moment, it was this burly, bearded man before the giant who stepped forward, using his supreme profound skills to hold up the sky with one hand, suppressing the spacetime rift, and mending the gap in the sky, becoming the second man to mend the sky in the history of the universe after the King of Ultra.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled, his gaze resolute.

"It seems to be the aura of an old friend. Heh, I thought my cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds since I came here, but it seems I've been surpassed by him. Heh!"

Although he uttered words of "I am ashamed of myself," two blazing flames suddenly appeared in the old Taoist's eyes, and an unprecedentedly fierce aura erupted and exploded from his body, instantly sweeping across a star field and affecting the vast void.

Zhang Sanfeng turned his head and looked towards a certain part of the universe, where he saw an old man wearing a long red robe and a hood, whose face showed some apology, but also some barely suppressed excitement.

"Brother Ao, it seems that my time here with you is running out."

The old man in the red robe did not speak, but all things in heaven and earth spoke for him, and an exceptionally gentle, kind, and amiable voice resounded in Zhang Sanfeng's heart.

"Guests who have come from afar, I am already extremely grateful that you have stopped here and helped me solve so many problems. How could I ask for more?"
"Please set off, but wherever you go, the power of light will accompany you and be your strongest support."

This red-robed old man is the strongest member of the Light Clan, the undisputed strongest in this universe, the first man to mend the heavens throughout history, and the King of Ultra.

The current King of Ultra can no longer be described as "in harmony with the Dao". His relationship with the universe is not one of dependence or conformity, but rather one of coexistence and mutual influence.

One could even say that he is the universe itself. Zhang Sanfeng's ability to make such great progress in this universe, even elevating his method of merging with heaven and earth to the exaggerated level of "merging with the universe," is inseparable from the help of the King of Ultra.

It can be said that they are the beings in this universe who understand each other the most, and can truly be called both teachers and friends.

Zhang Sanfeng smiled again:
"Thank you!"

After speaking, Zhang Sanfeng slowly took a step forward, his figure becoming incredibly ethereal, boundless, and spreading to every corner of this universe, truly standing in the same position as the King of Ultra.

Looking at this visitor from outer space, the King of Ultra, as the host, showed no fear of having someone sleeping soundly beside him, but instead offered undisguised praise.

He couldn't help but sigh:
With such talent and natural gifts, how many people in the Land of Light have been seen in hundreds of thousands of years?

However, this is good, very good.

The King of Ultra even praised it, saying:

"Tai Chi, Tai Chi, it is indeed extremely great."

-

In another universe, however, things are not as warm and friendly as they are; instead, they are in the midst of a fierce battle of extreme opposition.

Two completely different auras, one black and one white, are clashing fiercely against each other. This battle is similar to the fight between Xu Xing and the Daoist of Creation, a pure clash of strength.

The fighting spirit, determination, and beliefs of the two powerful figures have all been transformed into "alien energy," used to sustain this battle, which seems to have no end in sight and is destined to reach...

However, due to the lack of a suitable battlefield like the "Origin Land," the aftermath of this battle had a profound and far-reaching impact.

Looking at it from another perspective, one can see seven overlapping layers of the cosmic starry sky, which are being shaken by the power fluctuations of the two powerful beings, and the foundation that constitutes the "Law of the Great Void" is beginning to crumble.

Suddenly, after another exchange, the figure shrouded in white light stopped attacking and instead halted, even retreating hundreds of millions of miles away.

Only now could one see clearly that this supreme being, who wielded boundless power, was actually a woman wearing a veil, with golden hair and a white robe, possessing a noble and holy aura, yet also extremely kind and compassionate.

Even so, every move she made, every smile she gave, carried an aura of supreme nobility and unparalleled grandeur, as if even the gods and kings of the heavens would have to bow down and submit to her.

The figure shrouded in black light, seeing its opponent retreat, pressed forward without hesitation, letting out a long howl:

"Snow Queen, prepare to die!"

Once this person goes all out, his mere aura can turn the world upside down and cause the universe to collapse. He can shatter countless stars and crush countless layers of void. He is simply terrifying beyond belief.

But his opponent, the supreme powerhouse with the aura of a god-emperor, who had firmly held the top two positions in this realm and had been the number one person in this universe for a long time, did not choose to make a move, but only sighed softly:
"Mr. Guan, please."

"it is good."

A handsome, imposing man with flowing hair suddenly appeared before Xuehuang.

He put his hands behind his back, looked at the surging, swirling, dark nebula, chuckled, and said unhurriedly:
"The cycle of your world is truly fascinating. For that reason alone, I, Guan, will not allow it to be destroyed. Rest assured."

This person was dressed in a snow-white robe, with a graceful and refined demeanor, like a scholar who had stumbled upon this place while enjoying the spring scenery and picking branches.

His gaze towards the vast nebula held no fighting spirit, but rather admiration. He pointed his right hand, forming a sword shape with his fingers, as if surveying the landscape or painting this scene into a picture.

But this seemingly insignificant action elicited the most intense and resonant response from heaven and earth.

In the fluctuation of divine thoughts, countless planets shone brightly in the boundless void, like billions of grains of sand, converging into a celestial river that encircles the universe, like a jeweled ribbon.

Seeing this, Xuehuang's eyes gleamed with admiration.

—The name of the Heaven-Breaking Body's invisible sword energy is indeed well-deserved. Such a sword strike is so powerful that even Hades would find it difficult to withstand, let alone the entire universe's nebula.

Before Guan Qi could even draw his sword, Hades's Xuanming Nebula Body collided with the sword and shattered completely, revealing his true form. His imposing body flew backward for tens of thousands of miles before finally coming to a stop after colliding with a planet.

He raised his eyes, his gaze shooting out from behind his thick black hair, and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Guan, are you really going to help her?!"

This mysterious Mr. Guan is a prodigy whom Hades has never seen before, and his speed in cultivating extraordinary energy is unmatched by any strong person throughout history.

Therefore, both he and Xuehuang spared no effort to win this person over. Even if they couldn't get him to take sides, they wanted to ensure that he wouldn't join the opposing camp.

The reason Hades chose to make his move at this time was because he saw that although Guan Qi and Xue Huang could exchange martial arts techniques, they were by no means kindred spirits. However, it seems that this is not the case at all now.

Guan Qi laughed heartily:
"I'm not helping any one of you, or rather, I'm helping all of you."

Guan Qi gazed at this universe, which was layered seven times, intertwined with each other, and in which the river of time formed a complete closed loop, his gaze leisurely.

He thought of the world he came from, which also had this phenomenon of time loops and even rollbacks, but its scale was nowhere near that of this universe.

He couldn't solve this problem back then, so he could only choose to break apart and leave. Does he have that ability now?

With a cycle of 100,000 years and the overlap of seven parallel universes, if Guan Qi were still in his homeland, he probably wouldn't be able to understand this situation at all, let alone take steps to solve it.

But he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Thinking of this, Guan Qi waved his right hand and uttered only one word:

"cut!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star River Heavenly Sword fell to the ground!

The seven closely intertwined universes, and the long river of time that has been revolving for 100,000 years and has stopped moving forward, all uttered a mournful cry of unbearable burden under this sword, a cry that penetrated deep into the hearts of all sentient beings!
Just then, Guan Qi suddenly felt a familiar gaze from an infinite distance, through the crack he had made, falling upon this place. Even though it was just a fleeting glimpse, he could recognize the person's identity.

"It's you?!"

-

Beyond the seven universes lies another magnificent cosmic panorama, where billions of steel colossi are crowding around a seemingly infinitely vast nebula, advancing towards a beacon eight million light-years away.

Each of these colossi is the size of a planet. Even if they are just passing by and do not launch any attacks, their gravity is enough to shatter, collapse, or even completely destroy stars.

At the very center of that nebula was a crimson being with five horns on its head and a spike protruding from its brow, exuding extreme majesty and holiness, a being that all the steel giants looked up to.

Its surface is covered with various cracks. Through these lines of varying thickness, you can see flames burning fiercely inside. Red and green intertwine and spiral together, yet they constantly collide and try to permeate each other.

These are clearly two equal yet incompatible terrifying forces, yet they are now being forcibly bound within this colossus by unimaginable willpower, serving as the driving force behind its battle.

Above the giant's head, there was a tiny girl in red, as small as a speck of dust, with her arms crossed and her eyes looking ahead. Her long hair and cloak fluttered behind her, like a flag guiding the fleet or an inextinguishable flame.

Wherever they went, the flames of war followed, threatening to burn the universe and clothe the stars in a wedding gown!
The long spear planted beside the girl suddenly hummed and trembled. She seemed to sense some kind of summons, turning her head to look, then froze, lost in thought. (End of Chapter)
