308: Chapter 308 Primordial Brewing and Cross-Boundary Crushing

Elder Wu Ya's face, which resembled withered tree bark, twitched slightly, a flash of deep awe and bitterness crossing his eyes. Leaning on his cane carved from unknown divine wood, he leaned forward, his posture extremely humble as he replied.

Elder Wu Ya said in a hoarse voice, "Supreme, your Wisdom Eye is like a torch. In the eyes of many Major Thousand Worlds, my boundless ark is indeed just a broken boat wandering aimlessly. However, the true destination of my journey is the deepest part of the Great Primordial Void, an absolute Forbidden Ground called the 'Grandmist Source Core.' It is the intersection where all Major Thousand Worlds are born and destroyed, containing the ultimate mystery that transcends the Eternal Realm. I have spent tens of millions of epochs collecting the wreckage of countless destroyed worlds to build this ark, all so that one day I might reach that place and see with my own eyes what the end of the Dao truly looks like."

Zhou Wannian nodded slightly, his deep gaze piercing through the ark's shield and looking out into the boundless, dark Void Realm.

Zhou Wannian commented in a steady tone, "Grandmist Source Core, the intersection of the birth and destruction of myriad worlds. This goal is indeed far more grandiose than those Dao Ancestors hiding in the Origin Sea, merely clinging to life. It is a pity, however, that the Foundation of your ship is too weak. Relying solely on these nine withered suns as power and shields to traverse this Great Primordial Void and reach the core of that dimension is nothing short of a pipe dream. Once you encounter the tides of a Void Realm storm, your ark will instantly be ground into dust."

Upon hearing this, Elder Wu Ya was not in the least bit annoyed; instead, he sighed deeply, his murky old eyes revealing endless vicissitudes.

Elder Wu Ya respectfully admitted, "The Supreme is absolutely right. I have exhausted my life's blood and could only achieve this much. The road ahead is long, and I can only leave it to fate. However, being able to welcome the Supreme aboard today makes me feel that all those millions of epochs of drifting were worth it. That cup of Extinguishing Flowing Fire just now was too crude and offended your refined taste. I shall now order someone to bring the true treasure of this ark, and I hope the Supreme will do me the honor of tasting it."

He raised his divine wood cane and tapped it gently three times against the dark golden deck.

"Dong. Dong. Dong."

The dull knocking sounds echoed across the deck. A secret hatch in the deepest part of the ark slowly opened, and two burly warriors, exuding the pressure of the Creation Realm, carefully carried out a jade wine jar radiating nine-colored divine light. The surface of the jar was engraved with dense, archaic Seal inscriptions, each containing terrifying power capable of suppressing an entire Star Domain, clearly intended to lock away the extremely violent energy inside the jar.

The warriors carried the jar to the tea table in the lounge area and retreated respectfully.

Elder Wu Ya stepped forward himself, his withered fingers quickly brushing over the Seals on the jar, undoing the overlapping Formations.

As the Seal was lifted, a strange, intoxicating aroma—a billion times more mellow and profound than the Extinguishing Flowing Fire—instantly permeated the entire lounge. Interwoven within this aroma was the vibrant vitality of all things recovering, the desolate tragedy of stars falling, and the primitive Chaos Qi from when the Universe first opened. The beings from various Realms nearby merely had to smell this fragrance for the Origin within their bodies to begin spinning wildly, as if they were on the verge of a Breakthrough in their Realm at any moment.

Elder Wu Ya held up a crystal-clear glazed jade cup and slowly poured the nine-colored, glazed-colored liquid into it. As the liquid swirled in the cup, it spontaneously evolved into miniature paintings of the birth and destruction of the Major Thousand Worlds.

Elder Wu Ya presented the glazed jade cup with both hands and introduced it with a proud tone, "Supreme, this wine is called 'Primordial Creation Brew.' It was created when I was fortunate enough to obtain a wisp of primitive Creation Qi spewed out by the Grandmist Source Core during a tide in the Great Primordial Void. I supplemented it with nine hundred and ninety-nine extinct archaic divine medicines, sealed it in this nine-colored divine jade jar, and allowed it to ferment for three Grandmist epochs before it took form. There is only this one jar in the entire world. Please, Supreme, have a taste."

Zhou Wannian extended his fair, slender fingers to take the glazed jade cup.

He looked down at the nine-colored liquid in the cup, which seemed to contain a complete Universe. The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art circulated naturally within his body, and one hundred and eight clusters of time dao patterns erupted with brilliant golden light, creating a wondrous resonance with the primitive Creation Qi contained within the wine.

Zhou Wannian raised the jade cup to his lips and downed the Primordial Creation Brew in one gulp.

As the nine-colored liquid entered his throat, it felt like a Grandmist purple thunderbolt that had opened the heavens and the earth, exploding directly within his Meridians. This power was grandiose to the extreme; were it any other expert at the Half-Step Eternal Realm, their Physical Body would have been burst apart instantly by this massive force of creation.

Zhou Wannian's inner universe instantly opened an invisible giant mouth that devoured everything.

The heavy continent of grandmist mother earth trembled crazily, greedily absorbing the mellow earth energy from the wine. The area of the continent expanded outward at a speed that defied logic, and its solidity increased several times over. The black ocean formed by the great sea true water surged with waves ten thousand zhang high, assimilating the pure water spirits in the wine, making the entire ocean deeper and colder. The golden mineral veins constructed from primal geng metal divine iron emitted deafening sword hums, frantically devouring the sharpness in the wine and becoming even more indestructible. The dark sun nether fire burning from the nine nether earth core lotus flared brightly, its flames soaring into the sky, burning away all Impurities.

The chaos jianmu at the center of the inner universe experienced a crazy surge of growth. Its thick branches pierced straight into the peak of the inner universe's void, and countless new leaves, each containing a miniature of a Major Thousand World, bloomed on the branches, casting endless rays of divine creation light that illuminated the entire inner universe like the most perfect glazed holy Realm.

Zhou Wannian's aura became increasingly unfathomable, and every inch of his skin shimmered with Dao divine patterns representing ultimate Perfection.

He set down the glazed jade cup and exhaled a long breath of wine vapor mixed with nine-colored rosy light, a look of genuine pleasure appearing on his handsome face.

Zhou Wannian praised in a steady tone, "This wine is truly worthy of being called top-quality. The creation qi is rich and pure, and the power of birth and destruction is interwoven perfectly. Drinking it down, the myriad worlds shine. Your wine-brewing skills, old man, are far superior to your ship-building abilities."

Hearing this high praise, Elder Wu Ya was moved to tears, bowing repeatedly to express his gratitude.

Elder Wu Ya said with a trembling voice, "To receive even a single word of praise from the Supreme means my efforts over these three Grandmist epochs were not in vain. If the Supreme likes it, please take the remaining half jar of Primordial Creation Brew as a meager gift of respect from me."

Zhou Wannian nodded slightly and waved his hand. The nine-colored divine jade jar turned into a stream of light, steadily sinking deep into his inner universe, where it was properly placed at the roots of the chaos jianmu.

In the midst of this brief tranquility as Zhou Wannian tasted the wine and discussed the Dao, far away at the other end of the endless Great Primordial Void, a terrifying storm targeting him was brewing frantically.

Heavens Light Divine Domain.

This was a super Divine Realm standing in the depths of the Grandmist Void, unimaginably vast. The entire domain was enveloped by an absolute barrier radiating seven-colored divine light, containing countless prosperous Major Thousand Worlds within, where trillions upon trillions of beings lived and multiplied.

At the very center of the Heavens Light Divine Domain stood the Supreme palace, the Heavens Light Imperial Palace, a structure billions of zhang high, cast entirely from archaic starry sky divine essence.

In a secret chamber deep within the Imperial Palace, the life-bound Soul lamps of all core royals of the Heavens Light Divine Domain were enshrined.

The person responsible for guarding the secret chamber today was a grey-robed divine general with a cultivation at the Late Stage of the Nirvana Realm. He sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, eyes closed, contemplating the Laws of heaven and earth.

"Crack. Crack. Crack."

Three consecutive crisp shattering sounds were like three heavy hammers, smashing fiercely into the heart of the grey-robed divine general.

He snapped his eyes open, his gaze cast in terror toward the very top of the secret chamber, the area representing the most noble Bloodline of the Divine Domain.

There, the main Soul lamp belonging to the Young Miss, Mu Qingshuang, which had been radiating seven-colored light, along with the auxiliary lamps of the two Half-Step Eternal Realm Elders guarding her, had all simultaneously shattered into fragments filling the sky, not even a faint flame remaining.

The grey-robed divine general felt his vision go black, his blood seemingly frozen solid in an instant.

He let out a shrill scream, scrambled out of the secret chamber, and sprinted wildly toward the top floor of the Imperial Palace.

On the top floor of the Imperial Palace, in a spacious hall filled with endless pressure, sat a middle-aged man wearing Purple-Gold Imperial Robes, his majestic face resembling an ancient Heavenly God. He was surrounded by an extremely dense aura of Eternal Origin; with every breath he took, the Laws of the entire Heavens Light Divine Domain pulsed in rhythm with him.

This man was the Supreme Dominator of the Heavens Light Divine Domain, a genuine, Supreme powerhouse of the Eternal Realm, the Heavens Light Emperor, Mu Canghai.

The grey-robed divine general rushed into the hall and fell heavily to his knees, the immense impact smashing a deep pit into the hard Divine Stone floor.

The grey-robed divine general wailed in a shrill, blood-curdling voice, "Emperor! Something terrible has happened! The Young Miss… the Young Miss and the two guardian Elders' life-bound Soul lamps have been completely extinguished!"

Boom.

A terrifying Killing Intent, sufficient to destroy countless Major Thousand Worlds, erupted like billions of volcanoes simultaneously, instantly filling the entire hall. Under this Killing Intent, the grey-robed divine general coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming heavily against the hall wall.

Mu Canghai stood up abruptly, monstrous anger, capable of burning down the heavens, igniting in his majestic eyes.

His most beloved only daughter, the apple of his eye whom he had cultivated with countless resources from the entire Heavens Light Divine Domain, had actually fallen. And she had been completely wiped out along with two Half-Step Eternal Realm protectors.

Mu Canghai's face was twisted, like a crazed Chaos Vicious Beast, and he let out a roar that shattered the galaxy.

Mu Canghai roared madly, "Who is it?! Who dares to kill Mu Canghai's daughter?! This Emperor will execute his entire clan and slaughter the entire Universe he resides in!"

His hands moved rapidly to form an extremely profound hand Seal, and a drop of Eternal essence blood radiating blinding golden light flew from his fingertip, rapidly transforming in mid-air into a massive, blood-colored Karma water mirror.

The images in the water mirror spun wildly, countless Karma threads weaving and breaking within it. Finally, the image froze on a massive ark struggling to navigate through the Grandmist Void. On the deck of that ark, a youth in a Green Robe was sitting on a carved wooden chair, holding a glass of wine, his expression calm.

Mu Canghai stared fixedly at the youth in the Green Robe in the water mirror, the Killing Intent in his eyes almost condensing into substance.

[part:gemini-3.0-flash]

Mu Canghai gritted his teeth and said word by word, "The boundless ark... So you were hiding on that broken ship. This Emperor doesn't care which corner of the earth you, a Loose Cultivator, crawled out from. You killed my beloved daughter; today shall be the day of your death."

He abruptly flicked the wide sleeve of his Purple-Gold Imperial Robe.

The Void Realm in the center of the hall instantly split open, and a terrifying divine spear, ten million zhang long and emitting a black light of destruction throughout its body, slowly emerged from the void.

This divine spear was named the "Heavens Light Nirvana Divine Spear." It was the Realm-stabilizing treasure of the Heavens Light Divine Domain, a true Eternal Realm Extremity Weapon. It contained all of Mu Canghai's lifelong insights into the Great Dao of Destruction. With a single strike, it was enough to pierce through the heavy obstacles of the Great Primordial Void, directly lock onto Karma, and obliterate a powerful enemy hundreds of millions of light-years away.

Mu Canghai tightly gripped the end of the divine spear, frantically pouring the vast and boundless Eternal Origin within his body into the spear like a river bursting its banks.

Countless dazzling Divine Runes of Destruction lit up on the surface of the spear, and an extremity ferocious might, enough to make even this Great Primordial Void tremble, soared into the sky.

Mu Canghai let out a world-shaking roar, his arm muscles bulging, erupting with a terrifying force capable of moving mountains and filling seas.

Mu Canghai shouted violently, "Heavens Light Nirvana, Cross-Realm Immortal Slaying! Die!"

He fiercely hurled the Heavens Light Nirvana Divine Spear from his hand.

The divine spear transformed into a bolt of black lightning that tore through all darkness, instantly penetrating the rainbow barrier of the Heavens Light Divine Domain and vanishing into the vast Great Primordial Void. It ignored the distance of space and the concept of time, following that faint thread of Karma, carrying Mu Canghai's full-strength Eternal strike as it headed straight for the boundless ark.

At this time.

On the other end of the Great Primordial Void, aboard the boundless ark.

Zhou Wannian had just stored that half-jar of Primal Creation Brew into his inner universe and was asking the Elder Wu Ya about the distribution of hidden powers deep within the Great Primordial Void.

Suddenly.

The entire boundless ark erupted into a violent tremor. This vibration did not stem from a mechanical failure within the ark, but from an extremely terrifying Law suppression from the outside.

The nine depleted suns surrounding the ark, serving as the power source for the shield, simultaneously erupted with blinding red light and let out shrill wails, like living creatures on the verge of death.

"Crack! Crack!"

The indestructible transparent shield was instantly covered with dense, spiderweb-like cracks. An Eternal Realm extremity Killing Intent, transcending all living beings on the ark, descended unscrupulously onto the deck through the nearly shattered shield.

The powerhouses from various worlds in the resting area all spat out a large mouthful of blood under the pressure of this Eternal Killing Intent. Their legs felt as heavy as lead as they knelt on the deck, the bones in their bodies making overloaded popping sounds.

Elder Wu Ya's withered face instantly turned as pale as paper. His hand holding the divine wood staff trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with despair.

Elder Wu Ya cried out in a hoarse voice, "It's a cross-Realm strike from the Eternal Realm! This aura... it's the Heavens Light Emperor! To avenge his daughter, he actually used the Heavens Light Nirvana Divine Spear!"

He knew well the terrifying power of this divine spear. Once the shield shattered, the entire boundless ark and all the living beings on it would be blasted into the most basic void dust by that destructive divine light in an instant.

In that endless dark void, a bolt of black lightning a hundred thousand zhang thick, carrying a violent whistling sound that tore through everything, smashed down fiercely toward the ark's deck like a world-ending meteorite falling from ancient times.

Before the divine spear even touched the shield, the space on the surface of those nine depleted suns had already collapsed on a large scale.

Facing such an Eternal strike that was enough to instantly turn a Major Thousand Worlds into ashes.

Zhou Wannian sat steadily on the carved wooden chair. He slightly raised his chin, his deep eyes calmly watching the black divine spear piercing through the void.

His brow furrowed ever so slightly, and a hint of displeasure at having his mood disturbed flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Wannian spoke in a steady tone, "The young one was beaten, and now the old one comes. The tropes of this cultivation world are so tedious and repetitive, no matter which dimension of the Universe one goes to. I was just planning to find someone to ask for directions; since you've come to my door of your own accord, I'll use you as an example."

He slowly withdrew his right hand from his wide Green Robe sleeve.

Zhou Wannian casually spread his five fingers, palm facing up, and met the whistling black divine spear with a plain, upward lift.

Buzz.

At this moment, the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art thoroughly revealed its terrifying fangs that crushed all external Heavenly Dao.

One hundred and eight groups of time dao patterns erupted from his palm with a golden divine light as brilliant as the sun. This divine light instantly expanded, forming an indestructible, material-like Glazed Barrier above the ark.

This was no ordinary energy shield, but the perfect manifestation of the Great Perfection Space Law and Time Law from Zhou Wannian's inner universe.

An incredible scene played out shockingly within this Great Primordial Void.

The Nirvana divine spear, which carried all of the Heavens Light Emperor's Eternal Origin and was said to be able to pierce through anything, slammed fiercely into that Glazed Barrier.

No deafening explosion occurred.

The moment the spear's indestructible tip touched the barrier, it was as if it had hit a Wall of Sighs forged from absolute Law, coming to a dead stop in mid-air.

Immediately after, the Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration power, like hundreds of millions of invisible venomous snakes, frantically crawled up from the spear's tip.

The black divine runes containing the Great Dao of Destruction were instantly burned and dissipated like withered leaves in a fire under the wash of the disintegration power.

In just half a breath's time.

This Eternal Realm Extremity Weapon, which had struck terror into countless Major Thousand Worlds, was shattered inch by inch from tip to tail under Zhou Wannian's casual lift, turning into black iron filings that danced in the sky.

These iron filings lost all their power, falling into the void surrounding the ark like a harmless breeze.

Elder Wu Ya and the living beings from various worlds on the deck watched as that overbearing divine spear was neutralized so effortlessly, their eyes nearly popping out in shock. The look they gave Zhou Wannian was no longer just of awe, but as if they were looking up at a Supreme Creator who had truly transcended the Eternal and could not be described in words.

Zhou Wannian slowly withdrew his right hand, his expression as composed as ever.

His deep gaze followed the faint thread of Karma left by the divine spear, directly piercing through the endless Great Primordial Void to lock onto the distant Heavens Light Divine Domain and the high-and-mighty Heavens Light Imperial Palace.

Zhou Wannian spoke faintly, his steady tone carrying an absolute dominance that controlled the life and death of all things.

Zhou Wannian announced coldly, "Since you enjoy playing with cross-Realm strikes so much, I shall return the favor. There is no longer any need for this Heavens Light Divine Domain to continue existing."

He slowly stood up.

His Green Robe fluttered gently in the weak Spiritual Qi currents on the ark.

He raised his right hand, pressing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger.

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art within his body surged to its limit with a roar. The vast and boundless starry river phantom of his inner universe flashed behind him, providing a continuous stream of Supreme power.

Zhou Wannian pointed a finger plainly toward the direction of the Heavens Light Divine Domain.

Zhou Wannian calmly uttered eight words: "Great Five Elements Disintegration, Void Annihilation."

Buzz.

A clear and transparent ripple, yet one that contained the terrifying power to completely erase all matter and Law, shot out from his fingertip.

This ripple ignored the vast spatial distances within the Grandmist void, crossing hundreds of millions of light-years in an instant with an absolute crushing posture that transcended the flow of time, descending directly outside the massive rainbow barrier of the Heavens Light Divine Domain.

Inside the Heavens Light Imperial Palace.

Mu Canghai was feeling terrified because he had lost contact with the divine spear he had thrown.

Before he could even investigate the cause, an ultimate crisis of death that made even an Eternal Realm powerhouse like him tremble in his Soul gripped his neck like an invisible giant hand.

He looked up in utter horror, peering through the dome of the imperial palace toward the void outside the divine domain.

He saw that clear and transparent Law ripple.

This ripple gently brushed past the rainbow barrier of the Heavens Light Divine Domain, which was boasted to be unbreakable through ten thousand tribulations.

Crack.

The barrier shattered instantly into countless spots of light, like fragile glass.

Immediately after, this irresistible disintegration power swept through the entire Heavens Light Divine Domain like a gale sweeping away fallen leaves.

Countless Major Thousand Worlds fell apart under this power, turning into cosmic dust.

The Heavens Light Imperial Palace, hundreds of millions of zhang high, weathered and collapsed the moment it came into contact with the ripple.

"No! I am in the Eternal Realm! I cannot die!"

Mu Canghai let out a desperate roar, desperately burning all of his Origin in an attempt to resist this tide of destruction.

But in the face of the Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration, his struggles were utterly futile.

His Eternal body, which was supposedly indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, disintegrated inch by inch starting from his fingertips. His vast and boundless Origin Dao Fruit was ruthlessly crushed to pieces by this power.

In a ten-thousandth of an instant.

This Heavens Light Emperor, who had ruled over countless Major Thousand Worlds, along with his massive Heavens Light Divine Domain, was completely transformed into a cloud of extremely fine gray powder within the Grandmist void.

The powder drifted away, and the once prosperous and bustling super divine domain turned into a completely silent, blank area.

With one finger, he slew an Eternal and erased a Realm.

The Great Primordial Void once again returned to its eternal, unchanging tranquility.

On the boundless ark.

Zhou Wannian slowly lowered his right hand, casually dusted off his sleeve, and sat back down steadily on the carved wooden chair.

He turned his head and looked at the Elder Wu Ya, who was already as dumbstruck as a wooden chicken, a casual smile appearing on his handsome face.

Zhou Wannian asked in a steady tone, "The bothersome flies have been cleared away. Old man, you mentioned earlier that the destination of this ark is the Grandmist Source Core. Why don't you point me in the right direction? I happen to want to go there and see the sights as well."

Hearing these dream-like words, Elder Wu Ya's whole body shuddered violently. Without hesitation, he knelt on both knees and kowtowed heavily toward Zhou Wannian with all his might.

Elder Wu Ya replied loudly with an agitated voice, "A decree from the Supreme; this old man will not hesitate even at the cost of ten thousand deaths. The ark shall set sail immediately to clear the way for you."
