The void around him slowly coalesced. Dao laws intertwined and the universe was rebuilt, but the landscape had completely changed.
So many supreme cultivators had died in this battle. Since when were supreme cultivators so worthless?
The eighth, sixth, and fifth cultivators had probably been ignored by the "big sister" as well. Xian Kong, the true follower of the "big sister", had fallen into Meng Luo's trap at a critical moment and allowed his soul to be controlled by Yang Jian.
Even supreme cultivators couldn't break free from this evil method of controlling one's nascent spirit.
The strangest thing about this evil method was that the person being controlled would feel "close" to the controller. Even if they were mortal enemies just a moment ago, they'd become completely obedient after a short period of time.
It took Yang Jian some time to integrate the five great dao Meng Luo had given him. When he came back to his senses, Xian Kong only looked at him with respect and submission.
This evil method...
There was no one else like it.
Qing Qing's injuries were the most serious in the universe, but she'd woken up and was healing herself with the help of the sages.
Yang Jian waved his hand and projected the outside world for the cultivators in the universe.
The corpses of several supreme cultivators, the eerie smiles, and the lingering aura...
"Senior uncle has probably been murdered," Yang Jian said. "The enemy is currently reviving the Eternal Godking. We need to hurry over."
The cultivators nodded in silence. Many of them were full of anticipation.
However, Yang Jian was already thinking about how to make the many cultivators in the universe in his body do what they were supposed to do, so that they wouldn't accompany him in a head-on battle against his "big sister" or even an Eternal Godking.
It was meaningless and would only cause them to be dragged into the mess.
With a flash of his figure, Yang Jian did not bother about the corpses of the supreme experts as he appeared in the central region of the mountain forest.
Wherever his consciousness extended, he could only see the bewildered, muddle-headed creatures.
These humans couldn't even be called humans. They were merely projections of true spirits. When they grew to a certain size, they'd be easy prey for the patrolling Eternal Divine Nation cultivators to harvest.
Yang Jian originally wanted to do something. He wanted to let all the living beings in this place return to dust and let the True Spirit break away from these walking corpses.
However, he still couldn't bear to do it. He raised his hand several times, hesitantly putting it down.
Forget it, no matter what, living beings are living beings.
Even if their existence was meaningless, to them, being muddle-headed was still a part of their lives.
The culprit was right in front of him, so he had to get rid of evil and eliminate hatred.
Yang Jian turned invisible and flew forward. His figure flickered a few times, and soon, he rushed out of the 'forest' landscape.
His consciousness had already covered nearly half of Eternal Divine Nation. What he saw astonished him.
Eternal Divine Nation was extremely vast, almost as large as the other half of the Chaos Sea. The landscape was arranged in two lines, from desert to mountains, like two barriers. Between them was a vast plain.
On the plains, there were large cities everywhere, but most of them were empty.
There was a deep rift valley in the center of the plain. The entire landscape was' designed 'with this rift as the central axis. On the other side were plains, mountains, and desert.
It was symmetrical and orderly, like the most rigorous interpretation of the words' order 'and' regulation '.
From the layout of the landscape alone, one could see how much Eternal Divine Nation had developed in the past.
This was only the first thing that surprised Yang Jian. The second was the lingering traces of dao here and there.
He sensed Goddess Nuwa's dao of creation, not just in one place or a few places, but everywhere.
The countless cities couldn't have been more than a few thousand years old. Judging from the scale of the cities, there must have been an uncountable number of humans.
In fact, there were several times more humans than there had been in the primeval times!
This was probably the result of "big sister"'s efforts in just a few thousand years. It was as if she'd given birth to a new era in Eternal Divine Nation's ruins.
However, she'd waved her sleeve and taken away all living beings and extracted their power when the new era was thriving.
No wonder Meng Luo had said that "big sister" and the second strongest expert were at a crucial moment in resurrecting Eternal Divine King …
The power of so many living beings and the plunder they'd taken from the great eras should've met the requirements to resurrect the divine king.
The more he looked, the more urgent Yang Jian's heart became. Following the lingering traces of dao, he finally found the vicinity of the rift valley.
As soon as he neared the valley, Yang Jian felt a strong sense of unease and foreboding. His Profound Physique was reminding him that something extremely dangerous was lurking below.
As his Divine Sense spread out, Yang Jian immediately understood where this rift valley was.
It was no more than five hundred kilometers wide, but immeasurably long. It must've run through the entirety of Eternal Divine Nation from north to south.
It must've been constructed. The stone walls on the left and right sides were extremely flat, without the slightest inclination. The walls on either side had been completely hollowed out, with a floor every three hundred meters. There were thirty-six floors in total.
It was as if there were seventy-two enormous cities stacked on top of each other. Symmetrical on both sides, they stretched endlessly across the land.
Images surfaced in Yang Jian's mind. When Eternal Divine Nation was at its peak, countless races and living beings had lived here.
When Du Bi came out of the mountain and found this place again, it was dead silent. All living creatures had disappeared, and the Eternal Godly King had entered an extremely terrifying realm.
Perhaps this was one of the main reasons why Du Bi had attacked Eternal. After all, Eternal Divine Nation didn't belong to Eternal Divine King alone. Countless living beings who'd followed the divine king had fought bravely for it.
Did ants beneath the sage realm have no reason to exist?
"This isn't the world I want."
Listening to Du Bi's voice now, one would find great anger, indignation, and a faint trace of sorrow hidden beneath his calm demeanor.
Without hesitation, Yang Jian hid himself and leaped into the valley. Invisible barriers appeared below him.
They were similar to the ones that had appeared outside the Nether Stream in the primordial North Sea, and seemed to be Xu Mo's handiwork. But now, these barriers only wanted to detect if Yang Jian had appeared.
A pagoda appeared above Yang Jian's head. It was a great dao that Meng Luo had given him.
Wisps of greenish-black energy circled around Yang Jian. He hesitated for a moment, then landed straight down.
The barriers were like the calm surface of the water, allowing Yang Jian to pass through without the slightest change.
Each great dao had infinite uses. Unfortunately, Yang Jian didn't have the time to fully comprehend them. He could only brace himself and continue forward.
The auras of two supreme experts were near the bottom — Xu Mo and his seventh brother.
Yang Jian quietly snuck over. If he wanted to kill these two people now, he wouldn't be able to use the superposition divine art anymore.
However, something suddenly occurred to Yang Jian. He glanced at the cultivators in the world inside him and frowned slightly.
These two fellows could be used a little...
At this time, a muffled sound came from underground. The aura that made Yang Jian's hair stand on end emerged with unmistakable clarity.
A purplish-black arc of light slowly rose from the rift valley, then rushed out and rippled in all directions.
The entire Eternal Divine Nation seemed to have a spirit of its own. It trembled incessantly, the wails of ghosts and whimpers resounding through the world.
The world didn't want to be trampled upon by the divine king, but there was nothing it could do to resist...
"It's too late."
Yang Jian's voice reverberated in the world inside him.
He turned around and rushed back into the rift valley, dispelling the dao aura around him. He smashed through the last two barriers set up by Xu Mo and hurried down.
The cultivators of the Untainted Wilderness understood what Yang Jian meant. The muffled sound that sounded like a heartbeat and the terrifying aura indicated that the most terrifying existence was about to awaken.
The fear these creatures felt towards this existence came from their instincts, and it penetrated deep into their bones.
Yang Jian quickly rushed underground. His figure flashed and he appeared a thousand miles away, in front of the incomparably grand gate.
On both sides of the gate were two towering walls. Countless years had passed, but the protective formation was still in operation.
Xu Mo and the other supreme expert's auras swooped down from above. Yang Jian raised a hand and struck out without even looking.
The two utmost powerful beings didn't even get to see Yang Jian's face before they were sent flying. The seventh utmost powerful being's injuries weren't light, and it was clear that Yang Jian had done this intentionally.
The cultivators of the Untainted Wilderness were already behind Yang Jian.
More than a hundred thousand figures were so tiny in front of the gate and the high walls.
"Husband." Ao Xinke, the Saints, and the mighty figures immediately rushed over. They prepared to charge into the array with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian turned his head slightly and smiled. "Stop them. Don't let anyone enter this place. I'll deal with the rest with him."
Xian Kong casually swiped behind Yang Jian. A ripple of light appeared behind him and Yang Jian. It was Qing Qing, Daoist Tian Yan, Yuding Zhenren, Ao Xinke, Feng Wu, Kong Xuan …
They blocked everyone behind them.
"Yang Jian!" It was the first time Yuding Zhenren had shouted his disciple's name.
Yang Jian turned around and looked at Yuding Zhenren, his two wives, his junior brothers, his many friends, and his disciple …
"Wait for me to return."
Yang Jian bowed and turned to leave.
Xian Kong pushed the door open a crack. The two of them flashed in at the same time, and the door slowly closed.
"Husband …"
Ao Xinke's voice was trembling. Feng Wu's eyes could not help but turn red.
Yang Jian did not want them to take the risk.
Yuding Zhenren raised his head and sighed. His eyes were filled with desolation. Yun Xiao frowned and did not say anything.
"We really can't help much," Daoist Tian Yan said softly. The Bell of Chaos buzzed softly, and figures descended from the sky.
There were more than a hundred Saints, and there were only two supreme experts.
There was still a fierce battle here. Yang Jian had left it for them because he was afraid that they would feel guilty.
The strongest among them, the seventh supreme expert, had been severely injured by Yang Jian's slap. With Qing Qing around, they could handle it.
Walking forward, there were two other supreme experts of the nine paths and the king of Eternal Divine Nation, who might or might not have woken up. They were all powerful enemies that they could not hope to fight.
"But why? I just don't want to." Nezha laughed wryly, then glanced at the door. "Let's get rid of these useless soldiers as soon as possible. Then we'll go inside and help senior brother kill the enemy!"
The monkey snickered and did not say anything else. A layer of flames burned on the Jingu Bang, and golden light surged in its eyes.
Clang!
The Qingping Sword had already been unsheathed. Countless sword shadows shot into the sky. Zi Xia had started fighting without a word.
… …
Inside the stone gate, there were collapsed ancient palaces everywhere, and ruins filled with broken weapons could be seen everywhere.
Xian Kong led the way and rushed forward. They could already see a grand hall that was more than five hundred kilometers wide, embedded at the bottom of the rift valley. The terrifying aura came from there.
However, when they were still five hundred kilometers away from the hall, Xian Kong and Yang Jian suddenly stopped.
A young man dressed in black blocked their way. He was holding a turtle shell with a slight frown. There were a few scattered pieces of bone under the shell.
The young man sighed. His hoarse voice was unforgettable. "Today's test won't be easy to pass."
"Second brother." Xian Kong bowed.
"You're already dead. There's no need to call me. Big sister gave me your soul orb. She never wanted to kill you with her own hands."
The young man shook his head slightly, regret in his eyes. He slowly put away the turtle shell and took out a pearl from his sleeve.
Xian Kong's pupils contracted, but Yang Jian suddenly made a move, pouncing over at lightning speed …
Alas, it was too late.
.。 Clang!
