In the Mother Stream.
A powerhouse stepped out of the void.
Qin Shujian looked at the person in the sky and calmed down.
The Mother Stream was opened.
It quickly merged into the Mother Stream.
Then.
The Battlefield of Laws was officially opened.
From beginning to end.
No powerhouse stopped the Swordmaster from achieving the Dao.
Because of the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the hatred of the races in the four major continents was buffered to a certain extent.
More importantly.
The Heavenly Court would intervene if anyone tried to stop others from achieving the Dao.
The purpose was simple.
Now that the Great Tribulation was coming, every True Immortal born in the four major continents was a rare combat force for the Vast Thousand Worlds.
Therefore.
No one was allowed to stop other powerhouses from achieving the Dao.
Or else …
The Heavenly Court would kill anyone who tried to stop them.
Because of this.
Many races also acknowledged the Heavenly Court a little more.
The biggest problem of the small races.
They did not have a strong enough foundation.
Without a strong foundation, there was a great risk in achieving the Dao.
Once a powerhouse tried to stop them, the success rate of achieving the Dao would be greatly reduced.
Now, the Heavenly Court intervened.
The success rate of the small races' Dao was also greatly increased.
The Battlefield of Laws was opened.
The Swordmaster walked to the Rule Stele as if he was walking on flat ground. Then, he waved his hand and broke the Rule Stele. He cut off a portion of the Rule Force and stored it in his body.
Rumble!
The Thunder Tribulation descended and struck the Swordmaster like a silver snake dancing wildly.
"Tribulation Transcendence!"
"Another person has embarked on the path of Physical Sanctification!"
In the Eastern God of War Palace, Xiao Chengfeng temporarily retreated from his cultivation. He looked towards the Eastern Continent as if he had some thoughts.
The Immortal Ascension Tribulation!
He was familiar with it.
However, Xiao Chengfeng did not expect that other than him, there were others who had embarked on the path of Physical Sanctification.
Moreover.
They had already reached the stage of Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
"The Emperor Of Heaven knows about the path of Physical Sanctification, and he should have the Physical Sanctification Technique in his hands. If others also know about the Physical Sanctification Technique, it most likely came from the Emperor Of Heaven.
However, they should not be able to pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation so quickly! "
Xiao Chengfeng was puzzled.
He did not find it strange that there were others who walked the path of sanctification through their physical bodies.
After all, even though he was walking on a new system, there were still others who knew about it.
As long as there were people who knew.
That meant that he wasn't the only one walking the same path.
What really puzzled Xiao Chengfeng was …
Who exactly was this person? How could he walk so fast? He actually reached the point of transcending the tribulation.
After a long time.
Xiao Chengfeng retracted his gaze from the East Continent. "There's going to be another top-notch powerhouse in the world!"
It was fine if he didn't pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
If he could pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation, his strength would definitely be very strong.
But to what extent?
He would only know if he had the chance to fight in the future.
The Thunder Tribulation descended.
All the cultivators who had approached without permission had already retreated.
What supreme treasure?
It was all a lie.
There was clearly an expert cultivating there, and it was the kind that could prove the Dao and become an immortal.
The thunder was as mighty as a prison.
Now that the Thunder Calamity had descended, the entire area within a radius of a thousand miles was turned into a forbidden zone.
It was impossible for anyone else to get close.
In the thunder tribulation.
The Blademaster stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Thunder Calamity descending from the sky. He didn't take it seriously at all.
The Thunder Calamity descended with a loud boom.
Endless Saber Qi emanated from his body, colliding with the Thunder Calamity.
The Thunder Calamity was torn apart.
Both the Saber Qi and the Saber Qi were destroyed.
No matter how mighty the Thunder Calamity was, it didn't affect him at all. The Blademaster walked among the Thunder Calamity as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
All of a sudden.
His footsteps paused.
The long saber on his back was suddenly unsheathed.
Whoosh —
Saber light surged out like autumn water. Endless killing intent filled the air as the long saber was unsheathed.
That saber!
It shattered all the Thunder Calamity that struck down.
Not only that.
It even entered the tribulation clouds and split the clouds in the sky into two.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook.
The void suddenly cracked and shattered.
The Thunder Calamity clouds were torn apart by a long saber like cotton cloth. Even the sky fell into an instant of darkness.
After the darkness dissipated.
Between heaven and earth.
Strange phenomena had already been born.
Heavenly Golden Flowers!
Golden Lotuses sprouting from the ground!
After breaking through to the True Immortal Realm, the Blademaster didn't look happy at all. He didn't even sheathe his long saber.
He stood with his saber in hand.
Then, he looked to the side in a certain direction.
There.
There was nothing there.
All of a sudden.
The long saber suddenly slashed out. A terrifying energy saber tore the sky and earth apart, devouring the space in front of him.
Boom!
He slashed out with his saber as well.
The energy sabers collided fiercely.
A terrifying force erupted. The Blademaster's body shook, and he retreated.
It was a simple exchange of blows.
He was already at a disadvantage.
In this regard.
The Blademaster's expression didn't change, but his heart grew heavier.
The newcomer's strength.
He was much stronger than he had imagined.
However —
The saber earlier gave the Blademaster a sense of deja vu.
At this moment.
Qin Shujian walked out of the shattered void. He looked at the Blademaster in front of him and said with a faint smile, "Is this how you welcome me, Blademaster?"
"Emperor Qin!"
The Blademaster's expression changed slightly.
Soon after, he quickly recovered.
He sheathed his long saber.
The murderous aura had completely disappeared.
"This isn't the place to talk. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
"Emperor Qin, please lead the way."
"Please!"
Qin Shujian nodded. Then, he disappeared from where he was.
When the Blademaster saw this.
He followed behind him and left.
After the two of them left, the cultivators who were waiting in the distance finally dared to move.
"The one who just came was the Emperor Of Heaven, right?"
"Hiss, if that's the case, the Immortal Realm expert is friends with the Emperor Of Heaven!"
"I've never seen that expert before. Could he be a reclusive expert who has been in seclusion all this time?"
Many people discussed this with their Divine Wills.
In the end.
Some people's gazes fell on the original mountain peak.
If he was really a reclusive expert.
Then the mountain peak in front of them should be where that expert was in seclusion.
As the residence of a reclusive expert.
Perhaps there was some rare treasure there.
However.
Although they knew that there was a treasure in the mountain, no one dared to go near it.
Because that reclusive expert didn't die. Instead, he broke through to become a True Immortal and was acquainted with the Emperor Of Heaven.
If they entered his cave residence without permission to look for some benefits.
Then, they turned around.
If the other party blamed them, they would die.
Therefore.
They could only look at it enviously. They didn't really dare to enter it.
On the other side.
In the Heavenly Court.
Qin Shujian and the Blademaster walked into the Heavenly Palace almost at the same time.
In the outer hall of the Heavenly Palace.
Niu Dali was still sleeping on the ground.
The Blademaster just glanced at him and then looked away.
In his eyes.
A tenth-level Celestial Being bull demon was nothing to look at.
"Is this the Emperor Qin's current mount?" The Blademaster smiled casually.
"Yes."
Qin Shujian also smiled.
The Blademaster shook his head. "Back then, the Emperor Qin had nine dragons pulling his carriage. They were all True Immortals. Now, he can only use a tenth-level Celestial Being bull demon."
"Times have changed. You'll get used to it."
Qin Shujian replied casually.
He didn't say anything more on this topic.
While they were talking.
The two of them had already walked into the inner hall of the Heavenly Palace.
At the entrance of the outer hall.
Niu Dali opened his eyes. His face was full of dissatisfaction.
"Who the hell is this? How dare you speak so arrogantly. Do you really think that you can look down on me just because you've become an Immortal? Don't give me a chance. Otherwise, I'll let you know who's the one who's not presentable."
He was having a good sleep. Suddenly, he was despised.
No matter how good Niu Dali's temper was, he was still very unhappy at this time.
Especially after he became the Emperor Of Heaven's mount.
The True Immortals who came in and out had to be polite to him.
After all, no matter what.
One had to look at the owner before beating a dog.
Niu Dali was displeased that someone directly talked about him in front of Qin Shujian.
However.
Considering the aura emitted by the Blademaster, he temporarily suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Obviously.
That person's strength was stronger than his.
If he attacked rashly, Niu Dali knew that he was no match for him.
In the inner hall of the Heavenly Palace.
Qin Shujian waved his hand. A stone table and two stone stools appeared.
He and the Blademaster sat opposite each other.
After sitting down.
The Blademaster said, "When I came back, I saw the power of the stars. I already knew that the Heavenly Court was established. However, I didn't expect that the person who established the Heavenly Court would be the Qin Emperor!"
"I also didn't expect that the Blademaster would return at this time."
Qin Shujian shook his head.
As he spoke, he had already taken out the tea set from the storage ring. Then, he brewed the spiritual tea.
Subsequently.
Qin Shujian placed a cup of spiritual tea in front of the Blademaster and said, "Blademaster, where did you come from? Now, apart from you, how many people have returned?"
"I came back from the real world. That world has no name. It's just a place where the players of the Eastern Continent are."
The Blademaster picked up the teacup and said faintly, "If I'm not wrong, there should be people in the other three great worlds.
At first, I wasn't sure. However, now that the great wide world has merged with the worlds of four players, it should be correct. "
Hearing this.
Qin Shujian also nodded.
"Blademaster, since you've returned now, could it be that the arrangements in the other world have been made?"
"More or less." The Blademaster shook his head and said, "The Heaven-Deceiving Token was broken. I had to return immediately. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Dao in that world sensed it, everyone would have a dead end.
Last time, I told the Weapon Emperor to make the Heaven-Deceiving Token look better when refining it. However, he still made me a half-finished one.
Or else …
I could have hidden in that world for at least another ten or twenty years. "
After ridiculing him.
The Blademaster continued, "But now, a few years is enough. I've already left a seed in that world through the form of a sect. I'm sure the Heavenly Dao in that world won't sense anything.
After all, if it really sensed it, it would have responded when I planted the seed.
It didn't do anything until I left. I guess there's no problem. "
"It's time for you to return now."
Qin Shujian said.
"The great tribulation of the Demon Abyss is about to descend in the Great Wide World. If you return now, the Heavenly Court will also have an additional combat power.
Although there are no new Dao Fruits in this era, there are many half-step Dao Fruits.
We don't have to pay attention to the two in the Great Wide World. However, there are at least two half-step Dao Fruits in the Demon Abyss. It won't be easy for me to fight against them with my strength alone. "
To be honest.
There were only a few decades. Although Qin Shujian was confident that he could fight against a half-step Dao Fruit expert, he was not 100% sure.
Now that the Blademaster had returned, he was more confident.
After all, no matter what the other party was like.
He was also a Dao Fruit expert of the second era.
When he was at his peak strength, Qin Shujian was not confident that he could suppress the Blademaster in terms of strength.
Such an expert had reincarnated and cultivated again.
It was a good thing for him.
With the Blademaster's foundation.
As long as he was given a few decades, he should have no problem fighting against a half-step Dao Fruit expert, even if he did not return to his former peak.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!"
The Blademaster glanced at him and said meaningfully.
Qin Shujian did not hide anything and said truthfully, "I suspect that the Demon Abyss is a backup plan left behind by a Dao Fruit expert in the past. You also know that the Dao Fruits born in the past few eras are not truly united.
In my opinion, the Demon Abyss's goal should be to destroy the Great Wide World and cut off the connection between the player world and the universe.
As long as the connection between the player world and the universe is cut off, our plan will be considered a failure. "
"Hmph, I don't understand why they insist on going against us. They're like centipedes that refuse to die. Even in this era, they're still haunting us!"
The Blademaster's expression was cold.
An intense killing intent surged in his heart toward those experts who had been going against them for several eras.
However, he soon felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
They were both Dao Fruits.
It was not an easy task to completely wipe out the other party.
Because at that level, there were simply too many life-saving methods.
Qin Shujian's expression was calm as he said slowly, "Because everyone's pursuit is different. They think that breaking through to the Dao Fruit realm is equivalent to eternal immortality.
Even if an era ends and they perish, they still have methods to be reborn in the next era.
For them.
As long as they leave behind enough backup plans, it doesn't matter if an era ends or the universe collapses. They can still reincarnate repeatedly and reach an eternal realm.
As such, they naturally don't want us to give it our all.
After all, if we fail, it's useless no matter how many backup plans they leave behind. "
As soon as he finished speaking.
Qin Shujian paused and sneered, "It's just that they don't understand that it's not that easy to truly pursue eternity. Compared to the first era, the second era has already weakened.
Compared to the second era, the third era has also weakened. The current era is even weaker than the third era.
I'm afraid this weakness is not only the weakening of the Great Thousand World but also the weakening of the entire universe. In a few more eras, there might not be any traces of our existence.
If we don't seek a way out now, it's no different from waiting for death. Unfortunately, they still don't understand this. "
Although they would definitely die if they failed to resist.
However, if they didn't resist now, they would still die in the future.
The only difference was.
It was that one would die earlier while the other would die later.
However, there was one thing to know.
There was still a possibility of success if they resisted, but if they didn't, they would definitely die.
Hearing this.
The Swordmaster laughed at himself, "I thought that breaking through to the Dao Fruit realm would allow me to attain eternity. However, when I really broke through to the Dao Fruit realm, I realized that everything was illusory.
Illusory things, no matter how long they exist, are ultimately fake.
As long as there's a little bit of real power that invades, we can be defeated. "
"This era is our last chance."
Qin Shujian said in a deep voice.
The previous few eras had all failed.
Facing the end of an era.
Even a Dao Fruit expert wouldn't have any chance of resisting.
The reason was very simple.
Because everything was fake.
They were fake. Heaven and earth were fake. Even the entire universe was fake.
If one were to make a comparison.
In Qin Shujian's opinion, the world they were in now was equivalent to the game world in the eyes of the players. The so-called rules of heaven and earth were the program. All the experts were actually a set of data.
Although they weren't data.
To a certain extent, there was no difference.
Because the world they were in was just as fake as the real game world.
Although the experts could destroy heaven and earth, they would never be able to break free from the shackles of the universe.
Because the entire universe.
It was a huge cage.
All the living beings in the universe were in the cage. They were born without any reason and destroyed without any reason.
All of this had no basis for existence, because this was the law of the universe.
However, all the living beings in the universe said that.
They couldn't see through the illusion. Naturally, they couldn't know about their own existence. To a certain extent, they were as fragile as bubbles. As long as a trace of real power intervened, the illusion world would be completely destroyed.
Only by breaking through to the Dao Fruit realm could one see through the illusion of the universe. Only then could one understand what the world they were in was like.
The Blademaster's face was solemn. His eyes fell on Qin Shujian and didn't move at all. "Emperor Qin, do you think we can succeed?"
"Whether we can succeed or not, it's something we have to do."
Qin Shujian said and shook his head. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "From the moment we infiltrated the illusory power into reality and then connected the universe with the players' world, there's no turning back.
The players' world wants to devour the universe and upgrade the world level.
We also want to devour the players' world, get rid of the illusion and retain the truth. We want to become real creatures.
This war is inevitable. Either we fall, or the players' world will fall. I'm sure you've noticed that the Heavenly Dao of the players' world has already begun to invade. "
Hearing this.
The Blademaster fell into silence.
Indeed, the players' world had already begun to invade the universe.
If it weren't for the invasion of the Heavenly Dao, the players wouldn't be qualified to descend to this side of the world.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao of this world.
The universe was equivalent to a huge tonic. If it could devour it, it would be able to advance to a higher level in one fell swoop.
Therefore.
The Heavenly Dao of the players' world would never stop.
They would only press on step by step and devour the universe bit by bit.
All living beings that used the universe as their foundation would also completely disappear the moment the universe was destroyed.
Not fall.
But disappear!
Because the universe was illusory. They were also illusory. They only existed by relying on the universe as a carrier.
The moment the carrier disappeared.
They would naturally disappear.
Therefore.
The Blademaster also understood what Qin Shujian meant.
After collecting his thoughts.
Qin Shujian said, "Is it a good time to attack the players of the Eastern Continent now?"
"It's too fast!"
The Blademaster shook his head and said, "The seed I left in the real world hasn't really taken root yet. If we destroy the players of the Eastern Continent now, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the players' world.
Let's wait and wait until the time is completely ripe before we act.
Moreover, although the seed has been planted in the players' world of the Eastern Continent, we don't know what the situation is in the other three great worlds.
If we act in advance, we may alarm the Heavenly Dao of the other great worlds. If that's the case, it won't be good. "
Alarm the Heavenly Dao of the players' world.
It would definitely cause the other party to retreat.
After all, the Heavenly Dao wasn't a fool. If there was any unpredictable danger, it would definitely retreat immediately.
Although the Heavenly Dao had invaded the universe now, it hadn't reached the point where it couldn't retreat at will.
To make it impossible for the other party to retreat.
It still needed a certain amount of time.
Regarding this.
Qin Shujian nodded and said, "Then let the players survive in the universe for a little longer!"
At this moment, his expression had become indifferent.
To be able to kill the players.
It would definitely weaken the strength of the Heavenly Dao of the players.
However, just as the Swordmaster said, if a large number of players died at this time, it would definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao of the players.
When that time came.
They didn't want the Heavenly Dao to retreat.
"Let's take it one step at a time!" The Swordmaster didn't dwell on this topic. Instead, he looked at Qin Shujian with a surprised expression on his face.
"The path that you're taking now doesn't seem to be the path of the Third Era!"
"That's right. I'm taking a new path. The reason why the Third Era couldn't stop the end of the Third Era was because I was too weak. I don't plan to take the path of the past anymore.
Only by breaking the barrier can I see hope. "
Qin Shujian said in a deep voice.
The failure of the Third Era made him completely lose confidence in the path that he had taken in the past.
Since he couldn't take the path of the Physical Sanctification, he would take another path.
"The end of the Third Era was caused by a real force nibbling away at the universe, causing the universe to collapse. If you want to stop the end of the Third Era, you need to have a power that can resist the real force.
However, it's easier said than done to reach that step. "
The Swordmaster didn't comment.
It wasn't easy to directly resist the real force.
Or else …
After so many eras, they wouldn't have failed all of them.
Until now.
They could only take a compromise and lead the Heavenly Dao of the real world to descend so that they could have the hope of turning illusion into reality.
Only by getting rid of the illusory body.
Only then could they truly resist the real force.
Because.
Only the real force could resist the real force.
No matter how strong the illusory force was, it was like a bubble in front of the real force. It would burst with a poke.
Therefore, in the Swordmaster's opinion, any path was the same.
The Dao Fruit was the end.
No matter how strong the illusory force was, it couldn't resist the real force.
No matter which path he took, as long as he reached the Dao Fruit realm, it would be enough.
As for the rest.
It wasn't a problem.
"The Qin Emperor may have taken the wrong path." The Swordmaster finally reminded him.
If he had taken the path of the Third Era.
After so many years, he wouldn't be far from the Half-Step Dao Fruit realm.
But now.
Although the Swordmaster couldn't see through Qin Shujian's strength, he had a rough idea after the previous exchange.
His strength.
At most, he was at the fifth or sixth level of the True Immortal Realm. He didn't even have the hope of entering the upper three levels of the True Immortal Realm.
Changing to another path.
It might not be a good thing.
For this.
Qin Shujian didn't refute or explain anything. "I can still recover my previous realm if I take a new path, so it doesn't matter which path I take."
"It's good that the Qin Emperor is so confident."
The Swordmaster didn't say much.
It was his freedom to choose which path he wanted to take.
It was only because of their past relationship that he tried to persuade her a little more.
But Qin Shujian's Dao heart was firm, so the Swordmaster had nothing to say.
"You can stay in the Heavenly Court this time. There will be a war in a while. With your help, there shouldn't be a problem."
Qin Shujian got up and walked out of the Heavenly Palace.
Seeing this.
The Swordmaster followed behind him.
Outside the Heavenly Palace.
Qin Shujian took out some materials, then casually built a palace and placed it in the astral wind layer.
That palace.
It was the Swordmaster's future residence.
Compared to the original palace in the Heavenly Court, that palace could only be said to be extremely simple and crude.
But experts at the level of the Swordmaster.
Whether it was simple or not.
It didn't matter.
No matter what, the Swordmaster was an existence who could see through fabrications, so he naturally didn't care about some external things.
"Thank you!"
The Swordmaster cupped his hands slightly, then looked at the bull in front of the Heavenly Palace and couldn't help but say, "Qin Emperor, given your status, why don't you find a suitable mount?
A bull, to be honest, is not very suitable! "
Although he had seen through fabrications.
But to the Swordmaster, Qin Shujian was the Emperor Of Heaven no matter what.
The Emperor Of Heaven riding a bull.
It was strange no matter how he looked at it.
In several eras, the Emperor Of Heaven had never seen anyone ride a bull.
After saying this.
Qin Shujian didn't say anything, but Niu Dali took the initiative to express his dissatisfaction, his bell-sized eyes filled with anger. "Why are you so talkative? The Emperor Of Heaven can ride whatever he likes, it's none of your business.
You're just a True Immortal and you think you're so powerful.
When I break through to True Immortal, I'll definitely teach you a lesson! "
This was intolerable.
Forget about the first time.
Niu Dali couldn't be bothered to argue with him.
But now.
He finally couldn't take it anymore because he was talking too much about this matter.
Hearing this.
The Swordmaster's face instantly turned cold, and he stared at Niu Dali indifferently. "If you dare, say it again!"
"Fine, I'll say it, I'm afraid of you!"
Niu Dali took a step closer to Qin Shujian, then stared at the Swordmaster angrily, with no intention of giving in.
Just like this.
The man and the bull stared at each other coldly.
But neither of them made a move.
After a while.
The Swordmaster retracted his gaze, but his voice was still cold. "If it weren't for the Qin Emperor, I would have killed you today."
"Tsk, if it weren't for the Emperor Of Heaven, I would have taught you a lesson today."
"—"
A powerful aura exploded from the Swordmaster, causing the surrounding void to crack inch by inch.
In front of that aura.
Niu Dali's heart skipped a beat, and he moved closer to Qin Shujian again.
He moved closer to Qin Shujian.
He was full of confidence, and he stared at the Swordmaster without backing down.
"Don't quarrel anymore."
Qin Shujian came out to smooth things over.
If the two of them got hot-headed and really started fighting, it would be awkward.
"I'll follow the orders of the Emperor Of Heaven!" Niu Dali took advantage of the situation, and after saying that, he returned to his original place to lie down.
But when he left, he gave the Swordmaster a provocative look.
That look.
He almost made the Swordmaster angry again.
If it weren't for Qin Shujian stopping him, he definitely would have killed the bull.
After giving Niu Dali a cold look.
The Swordmaster turned and left.
Getting angry with a tenth-level Celestial Being bull would be degrading his status, so he simply ignored it.
"No matter which era it is, bulls are always so annoying!"
He thought of something.
The Swordmaster's face darkened.
