C566 – Illuminating the Heavens
Unaware of the fact, Zhang Xuan’s figure had manifested in the sky at that very moment.
In the Chaotic Battlefield, the world had plunged into a deathly silence.
All eyes turned upwards to behold the shadow of an ancient giant looming over them, seeming to preside over all living beings as the sovereign of the realm.
Within the giant’s eyes burned an intense, suffocating crimson flame.
Atop the giant’s head, there shone a star emitting a faint golden light, distinguishing it from the rest and drawing everyone’s attention.
Everyone stood dumbfounded, utterly speechless and entranced by the spectacle before them.
In the small courtyard.
The moment the anxious onlookers spotted the silhouette, they instantly recognized it as Zhang Xuan’s.
Xia Meng and Chen Qianrou heaved a sigh of relief and exchanged glances, a faint smile appearing on their pretty faces.
Despite their attempts not to worry, it was hard not to be concerned given that they were in the Burial World, a legendary realm for the deceased. Knowing Zhang Xuan was going there, it was only natural for anxiety to creep into their hearts.
Especially since Zhang Xuan had been gone for quite a while, with no news from him whatsoever, their worry had grown exponentially.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had broken through, it was at least an assurance that he was still alive. Could there be any better news than this?
In Qiao Dangdang’s courtyard, Ji Wuming stared in shock at the shadow.
“This is… Old Qiao, are you certain Zhang Xuan is a Heavenly King? But why do I have a strange feeling…”
An idea crossed his mind, but he promptly dismissed it.
How is this possible?
In front of Mr. Zhang, he was as weak as an ant, and he was just born.
He was an Imperial Emperor, a Peak Stage.
Only a Heavenly King would give him this kind of feeling, right?
If Mr. Zhang had truly advanced to the Imperial Emperor realm, wouldn’t that mean Zhang Xuan had the combat strength of a Heavenly King even while being in the Great Taoist Master realm?
Shaking his head, he found that impossible. Mr. Zhang must have made breakthroughs in other aspects.
One was at the Great Taoist Master realm while the other at the Heavenly King realm, presenting a significant disparity between the two realms.
At their level, overcoming an opponent one or two small realms above was still possible.
However, crossing two major realms had never occurred in their world.
Besides, the aura Zhang Xuan emanated was not that of a simple Heavenly King.
Qiao Dangdang was also quite shocked. In response to Ji Wuming’s words, he smiled wryly and said,
“You’re asking me? How would I know? All I know is that I’m nothing but an ant before Zhang Xuan. He’s truly formidable!”
If Zhang Xuan had recently advanced to the Monarch Stage, then perhaps Zhang Xuan was indeed the person mentioned in the prophecy.
“Old Qiao, do you think Zhang Xuan is the legendary…”
“Ah?”
Qiao Dangdang was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to ask what was in the legends, Ji Wuming’s words made him curse in his heart.
“By the way, you are too young. These things are not things that you little bastards can know.”
“At that time, there was an extraordinary power in Chaotic Battlefield called the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. Every generation of Sect Masters people called themselves Bai Xiaosheng. This man specialized in divination and had never made a mistake in his life.
He had made three great prophecies and two of them had come true. The last one was that the ruler of Burial World was about to descend upon Chaotic Battlefield, and the savior of Human Clan was about to be born.
Unfortunately, after Bai Xiaosheng made these prophecies, too much of the heavenly secrets were leaked, causing the Heavenly Tribulation to descend, causing the huge Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion to vanish just like that.
However, there were also some who suspected that someone had attacked Bai Xiaosheng.”
Qiao Dangdang was just about to curse when he heard Ji Wuming’s words and stopped.
Although he had been born for millions of years, in front of an old man like Ji Wuming, he was still a little bean. Moreover, this was the first time he had heard about Bai Xiaosheng’s deeds.
……
Chaotic Battlefield, Zhang family.
When the two old men saw this scene, they immediately stood up. Their originally cloudy eyes suddenly released a scorching light.
“This is…”
“It seems to be in Burial World!”
“Is Yin Tianzi about to break through to the Sovereign realm?”
The worry in their eyes intensified, and their hearts were pounding with fear.
“Zhang Tiangang, it seems like we have to move as well. Otherwise, we won’t know how we will die if we wait for Yin Tianzi to attack us.”
“You speak as if you will know how you died when you are ready.”
“Why are you talking to me at this time?”
“Zhang Tiangang, let me ask you a question. Tell me the truth, is Zhang Xuan a seed of Zhang family?”
“Of course. Apart from the Zhang family, who else could produce such an awesome figure?” Zhang Tiangang replied without thinking, as if the answer had already been prepared.
Hearing what he said, Sloppy Old Man didn’t dare to confirm it.
Zhang Tiangang didn’t even speak the truth.
His thoughts were flying. Who exactly was Zhang Xuan?
Could it be that an ancient mighty figure had been reborn?
“Damn, Zhang Xuan… has just broken through to the Imperial Emperor realm? How is this possible?”
Seeing the shadow that illuminated the heavens, Zhang Changxin who had just returned home couldn’t help but curse.
He had always thought that Zhang Xuan’s Great Dao had already walked ten thousand meters and a few hundred meters wide.
It turned out that he was wrong. This was a fucking ten thousand meters wide and a few hundred meters long.
What kind of cultivation method was this?
Could it be that after expanding the Great Dao to a certain extent, it could really be so awesome?
Could Great Taoist Master have the combat strength of a Heavenly King when he was only at the Heavenly King realm?
“Buzz!”
As soon as his voice faded, two extremely powerful auras appeared beside him.
“Fuck, who…”
“Fuck off, I’m your ancestor! How dare you scold your ancestor!”
Zhang Tiangang slapped Old Zhang’s head.
“Lucky, was what you just said true? This is… Zhang Xuan?”
Sloppy Old Man pulled Zhang Tiangang, who wanted to continue teaching Old Zhang a lesson, to the side and asked Zhang Changxin in shock.
“That’s right…”
Old Zhang told him what had happened in the courtyard.
Zhang Tiangang’s eyes lit up. His beard was almost raised up in excitement. He and Sloppy Old Man looked at each other, unable to hide the surprise and shock in each other’s eyes.
This made them think of Bai Xiaosheng’s third prophecy.
Zhang Xuan, was he really the savior of the world?
“Old Ancestor, is the Great Dao Expansion Master really much stronger than those who are at the same realm as him, Martial Cultivator?”
Old Zhang looked at the two old men and asked.
“That’s right!”
The Sloppy Old Man nodded, confirming what Old Zhang had been thinking.
“Damn it! You two old men clearly knew, so why didn’t you tell us?”
Zhang Changxin was furious. It was evident that these two old men were aware of the matter, yet they kept silent about it.
“What do you know? Martial arts cultivation should be as diverse as a blooming garden of flowers. There’s never been just one path. If we interfere too much, won’t it make the Chaotic Battlefield too overpowered?”
“Moreover, do you realize the current situation in the Chaotic Battlefield? Does the concentration of Spiritual Energy even allow for expansion by ten thousand meters?”
“Even for me, the Great Dao is only 1,500 meters wide,” the Sloppy Old Man added.
Zhang Changxin felt utterly helpless upon hearing this.
1,500 meters, that’s all.
Hehe!
……
Meditation Minor Building.
The young man lying on the deck chair abruptly sat up, gazing at the Burial World with a peculiar expression in his eyes.
The green dog sensed its master’s reaction and pondered the reason behind his changed expression, but suddenly, it was engulfed by an overwhelming sense of dread.
“How can this be?”
The dog’s eyes reflected sheer astonishment; it couldn’t fathom what it had just witnessed.
