Undying Life - Chapter 783: Ying and the Great Power

Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Ying and the Great Power

Daojun Shenya looked at the numerous powerful beings from the Immortal Realm.

“Ye Qingcheng, the safety of the Immortal Realm is entirely entrusted to you!” Daojun Shenya said gravely.

“Rest assured, Realm Master, Qingcheng will not make any more mistakes,” Ye Qingcheng replied respectfully.

“Mm!” Daojun Shenya nodded.

Turning around, Daojun Shenya, with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd on his back, stepped out of the Immortal Realm, followed by a man in purple carrying the Executioner Sword. The man’s face was expressionless, his eyes lifeless yet unnervingly sharp. Upon closer inspection, one would realize this was the Toad Supreme, Toad Lai, but his demeanor had completely changed, as if he had become another person, someone with a restrained yet intense aura of killing intent.

On the way to the Great Qin, Zhong Shan and Di Xuansha flew together.

“Are you so sure that Kong Xuan will head straight for the Lingxiao Heavenly Court?” Di Xuansha frowned.

“I’m certain,” Zhong Shan replied.

“Why?”

“Firstly, the Immortal Realm would want to annihilate both of my bodies simultaneously. Kong Xuan would undoubtedly tackle the more challenging target. The Lingxiao Heavenly Court can leverage the power of the Great Xuan, so Kong Xuan will definitely go there.

“Secondly, Kong Xuan does not want to confront Ying now, so he won’t choose to go to the Great Qin.

“Thirdly, although Kong Xuan can calculate, his calculations have limitations. He cannot fully understand me yet.”

Di Xuansha nodded at the first two points but looked at Zhong Shan curiously at the third. “Kong Xuan doesn’t understand you? Even I, who have watched you grow, don’t fully understand you. How could others?”

“As long as it’s not Kong Xuan, we won’t have any problems on this trip,” Di Xuansha said.

“Indeed!” Zhong Shan agreed.

Great Qin, Sacred Capital of Xianyang.

A vast city, with slightly elevated corners, filled with elite troops handpicked by Ying. Countless golden lotuses floated in the sky.

These lotuses were peculiar, seemingly made of pure energy yet appearing real, decorating the already magnificent Xianyang with a dreamlike quality.

Numerous dragons flew in the sky. Some landed in the city, while others were repelled.

Ao Sihai stood in the southern part of the Sacred Capital.

“Ao Sihai, are you sure you won’t come with us?” Li Si frowned at Ao Sihai.

“Hahaha, Ying has gone too far. Follow you? Dawei, who once betrayed the dragon clan to become the Great Weitianlong Bodhisattva of the Bliss Pure Land, his cultivation is inferior to mine, yet you want me to serve him?” Ao Sihai glared.

“This was my decision, unrelated to His Majesty. Our Great Qin is destined for eternal prosperity. Authority isn’t based solely on cultivation. Dawei Tianlong may have lesser cultivation than you, but his potential surpasses yours, and his vision is broader. I am never wrong!” Li Si said sternly.

“Hmph!” Ao Sihai snorted coldly.

“Ao Sihai, I’ll ask again. Will you come with us?” Li Si asked once more. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏(.)com

“Too much! Too much!” Ao Sihai flung his sleeve and flew away.

Many dragons, seeing their supreme leave, also flew away. However, many stayed, having been convinced by the Great Qin.

Watching Ao Sihai leave, Li Si showed no regret. He flicked his sleeve and flew back into the city.

In the Sacred Capital of Xianyang, the former residence of Guiguzi, situated in the northern part of the city, was now enveloped in a grand array emitting a strong purple light, continuously gathering terrifying energy.

The energy accumulation increased over time. This grand array had been gathering energy for three months, absorbing energy from all directions, which then swirled above Xianyang in accordance with special rules before being drawn into the array.

Golden lotuses appeared from all directions on the third day after the grand array was activated. Zhong Shan, accompanied by Di Xuansha, arrived at the Sacred Capital of Xianyang three days in advance. The magnificent scene before them was breathtaking, and Zhong Shan could even smell a rich, exotic fragrance in the air.

The two did not enter the Sacred Capital but instead found a mountain peak nearby to settle on.

On another peak in the distance, Daojun Shenya arrived a day later, accompanied by Kong Lietian and Toad Lai.

Kong Lietian gazed intently at Zhong Shan from afar. This was their fifth encounter. In the previous meetings, Zhong Shan had always seemed like someone he could easily crush, yet now he had grown so much. Kong Lietian thought he should have eliminated Zhong Shan back then, but now it didn’t matter. This time, Zhong Shan was doomed.

Daojun Shenya glanced at Zhong Shan and then at Di Xuansha, his brows slightly furrowing. Since his cultivation breakthrough, Daojun Shenya’s perception had become more profound. Seeing Di Xuansha now, he realized Di Xuansha had also grown stronger. Could he have misjudged him before?

Toad Lai, who seemed like a different person, stood still, exuding sword aura with the Executioner Sword on his back.

From a distance, Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian locked eyes, a sharp killing intent flashing between them. Then Zhong Shan looked at the other two.

The Immortal-Slaying Gourd on Daojun Shenya’s back had changed slightly, now adorned with colorful patterns, making it look more enchanting. As for Toad Lai, Zhong Shan suddenly felt a sense of unease.

This Toad Lai, historically a minor player, now seemed incredibly sharp.

“Toad Lai has been possessed,” Di Xuansha said with a frown.

“Possessed?” Zhong Shan’s eyes showed a hint of confusion.

“He’s been possessed by the Executioner Sword. The sword’s spirit has taken control of Toad Lai. It’s not Toad Lai wielding the sword; it’s the sword wielding Toad Lai. He has become a puppet, and this also means the sword’s full power will be on display,” Di Xuansha explained gravely.

“Hmm,” Zhong Shan nodded, a serious look in his eyes.

Both sides stared at each other, but the Red Luan Pink Lotus in Zhong Shan’s brow showed no change, still indicating great calamity.

Inside the Sacred Capital of Xianyang, no one came out to greet them. There was no need, as this event was akin to the ancient feat of opening the heavens, a momentous occasion.

Ascension? Ascension could not take mortals because the barrier between the Great Thousand World and the Small Thousand World was beyond mortal endurance. Yet Ying intended to take an entire city of people away. This was an immense undertaking, akin to creating a stable passage through the two worlds’ barriers, nearly as difficult as opening the heavens.

As the departure neared, the palace and court officials stood waiting. The court hall doors suddenly opened with a loud bang.

“Boom!”

Ying, dressed in a black dragon robe and wearing a black jade crown, stepped out.

Walking forward, Ying looked towards the two distant peaks, glancing at Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian. He displayed a faint, enigmatic smile, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing Ying’s smile, both Zhong Shan and Kong Lietian raised their eyebrows but said nothing.

With a sweep of his wide sleeve, Ying gathered the court hall into his sleeve, transforming the former site into a giant altar, overlooking all directions.

“Mister, you may begin,” Ying said, addressing the north.

In the Great Qin, there was only one person Ying called “Mister”—Guiguzi.

At the former residence of Guiguzi, the purple light had reached its peak, forming dense purple smoke.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed across the sky, fierce winds began to roar, and countless dark clouds converged from all directions. Violent lightning crackled within these clouds as if an immensely evil being lurked below.

The gale blew outward from the Sacred Capital of Xianyang, and standing on a distant peak, Zhong Shan felt an overwhelming pressure, a terrifying force not from the heavens but from Guiguzi’s residence. Was Guiguzi releasing his power?

Under this intense pressure, the golden lotuses floating in the sky turned pitch black, exuding an air of extreme malevolence.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion erupted from the north as Guiguzi’s residence detonated, sending a vast black veil radiating outwards. This terrifying veil, immense and eerie, covered a massive area. It wasn’t a black hole, but the powerful shockwave caused endless black holes to appear near Zhong Shan. Such destruction from just the residual impact?

The black veil expanded rapidly, reaching the boundaries of the Sacred Capital of Xianyang in an instant before halting suddenly. Within the black veil, streams of light occasionally flickered, resembling a deep, dark passageway.

Zhong Shan’s pupils constricted sharply. He recognized this black passage. It was the same type of passage through which he had entered this Small Thousand World from Earth, brought here by the red pearl.

Could the Great Qin forcibly open such a passage? What exactly was it? Did it lead to the Great Thousand World or another Small Thousand World?

While Zhong Shan was lost in astonishment, a crack suddenly appeared at the top of the black passage.

Crack!

The crack soared upwards, seemingly tearing through space itself, piercing straight into the heavens.

“Your Majesty, a minor issue has occurred, but it’s nothing significant. Everything can proceed as planned!” Guiguzi’s voice echoed from the black passage.

Ying nodded towards the direction of the black passage, then looked up at the sky.

Boom!

Another explosion sounded, and suddenly, a massive circular hole appeared high in the sky, as if the heavens had opened a gigantic skylight.

“A temporal treasure? A temporal treasure?”

A voice filled with intense joy and greed echoed from the skylight, a voice that revealed overwhelming desire.

A being from the Great Thousand World? A peerless expert near the Small Thousand World?

Ying’s eyes turned cold as he gazed at the sky.

Following the greedy voice, a gigantic hand reached down through the skylight.

The moment this hand entered the Small Thousand World, it expanded to a colossal size, reminiscent of the one Zhong Shan had seen in the netherworld. A great power from the Great Thousand World, with a hand that blotted out the sky, reached down towards Guiguzi’s direction.

“Presumptuous!”

With a cold shout, Ying raised his hand to meet the attack.

Ying’s hand was a starry, radiant hand that shot up, breaking through countless layers of space, forcefully colliding with the descending hand.

Boom!

It was like a massive explosion in the sky. Black holes spread directly towards Zhong Shan’s direction, enveloping everyone except those in the Sacred Capital of Xianyang.

Boom!

The two hands collided, and the force of the impact left everyone momentarily deafened.

Zhong Shan watched as the two gigantic hands clashed. They remained pressed against each other for five breaths of time.

Crack!

It sounded like a bone breaking. The hand of the great power from the Great Thousand World was forcefully repelled, retreating back into the skylight.
