341: Chapter 341 The Guardian Immortal Venerable's Wrath Burns the Heavens, the Great Thousand Realms Are Like Dust

Zhou Wannian's slender and upright green silhouette.

He stepped over that limp, mud-like Young Holy Lord of the Burning Heaven Holy Land with extreme steadiness and naturalness.

He didn't give him a second glance.

He didn't linger for even half a breath.

It was as if he hadn't just stepped over a top-tier Prodigy of the Taihao Immortal Realm with a noble status and peerless talent.

But had merely stepped over a piece of obstructive rotten wood lying in the middle of the road, emitting a faint, unpleasant odor.

The entire outer city street of Tianlan Immortal City, which had been bustling and noisy just moments ago...

At this moment.

Fell into a spine-chilling, absolute deathly silence.

It was so silent that one could even clearly hear the rustling sound of the gray dust flying all over the sky as it landed very lightly on the bluestone slabs.

On both sides of the street.

The Loose Cultivators, merchants, and spies of various Sects hiding behind the Formation shields of luxury shops...

All seemed to have been struck by a freezing Spell.

Each one widened their eyes, their pupils shrinking violently, staring fixedly at that receding green-robed back.

Everyone's brain, at this moment, had completely crashed.

That was the Young Holy Lord of the Burning Heaven Holy Land.

Those were nine Red Flame Dragon Lions, possessing a trace of the Primordial True Dragon Bloodline and cultivation bases all above the Golden Immortal rank.

That was the Heaven-Burning Immortal Carriage, forged from Grand Unity Immortal Gold and inscribed with ninety thousand top-grade defensive immortal Formations.

Just half a breath ago.

This terrifying force, enough to easily level a medium-sized cultivation immortal city, had been rampaging through this street with an overbearing and monstrous ferocity.

And now.

It was gone.

All of it was gone.

Simply because that Youth in Green Robe, who appeared to have no cultivation fluctuations and looked like a Mortal scholar, had casually exhaled a breath.

Those dragon lions capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, that indestructible immortal carriage...

Were like snowflakes under a blazing sun; without even a chance to struggle, they directly turned into flying ash.

This kind of power had completely exceeded the cognitive limits of these ordinary Cultivators.

This was not a Divine Ability.

This was not a Spell.

This was a high and mighty, absolute erasure that they fundamentally could not comprehend.

“Ugh... ah...”

A shrill, agonizing scream mixed with endless terror finally broke this suffocating deathly silence.

The Young Holy Lord, slumped in the middle of the street like a dead dog.

Every bone in his body had been shattered by the terrifying dimensional aftershocks at the moment the immortal carriage disintegrated.

His proud fire-attribute top-grade immortal Spiritual Root, his Taiyi Jade Immortal realm cultivation that he had painstakingly practiced for tens of thousands of years...

After coming into contact with a trace of the Aura of Zhou Wannian's inner universe Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration power...

Instantly deflated and dissipated like a punctured balloon.

He was ruined.

He had completely become a cripple, worse than even a Mortal.

He struggled to lift his face, which was covered in blood and dust, his eyes filled with extreme malice and deep despair.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Wannian's back, letting out a weak yet hysterical hiss from his broken mouth.

“You... you dare to cripple me...”

“I am the Young Holy Lord of the Burning Heaven Holy Land... my grandfather is the Patriarch Fentian...”

“Dao-Protectors... kill him... kill him for me!”

Along with his shrill and desperate roar...

The nine-colored glazed sky above Tianlan Immortal City suddenly distorted violently.

“Rumble!”

A terrifying roar, as if it could tear the entire Immortal Realm apart, exploded in the depths of the void.

The originally cloudless clear sky...

Was completely covered in an instant by a violent, dark red, towering sea of fire.

This sea of fire.

Was neither Mortal fire nor ordinary immortal fire.

But the Nine Nether Heaven-Burning Immortal Flame unique to the Burning Heaven Holy Land.

Once this fire appeared, even the Laws of the Great Dao could be burned through by it.

The temperature of the surrounding space climbed to a terrifying extreme within one-ten-thousandth of an instant.

The magnificent city walls on the outskirts of Tianlan Immortal City, cast from Primordial Star Iron, even began to glow red and melt under the roasting heat.

Countless city-protecting immortal Formations inscribed on the walls flashed blindingly, emitting overwhelmed creaks and groans.

“Impudent brat! How dare you harm the Young Holy Lord of our Burning Heaven Holy Land!”

A majestic and furious roar, like Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, rang out.

From the depths of that dark red sea of fire, it rolled down like a materialized mental soundwave.

Following that.

Three massive, ancient figures stepped out from the fire, radiating a supreme pressure that caused heaven and earth to lose color and all things to submit.

Slowly stepping out from the sea of fire.

All three were dressed in ancient red Daoist robes embroidered with nine-headed fire dragon totems.

Their hair and beards were bristling, and their entire bodies were shrouded in an extremely dense, almost solidified Ultimate Dao fire Origin.

They.

Were the personal Dao-Protectors of the Young Holy Lord of the Burning Heaven Holy Land.

Three supreme beings whose cultivation bases had already reached the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal rank, only half a step away from the legendary Creation Immortal King realm.

In the Taihao Immortal Realm, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal is a giant of a region, capable of founding a Sect and being called a venerable ancestor.

And these three were old monsters who had lived for countless eras within the Burning Heaven Holy Land.

Working together, they could even withstand a few moves from a true Creation Immortal King.

They had originally been hidden in the depths of the void, silently guarding the Young Holy Lord.

In their understanding, with the Young Holy Lord's cultivation and the defenses of the Heaven-Burning Immortal Carriage, he could not possibly encounter any danger on the outskirts of Tianlan Immortal City.

But.

The change happened too fast.

So fast that even these three Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal beings didn't have time to make any reaction.

That green-robed youth used only a single breath.

To blow the immortal carriage into ash right before their eyes and cripple the Young Holy Lord, whom they were supposed to protect with their lives, into a Mortal.

This was a great humiliation.

This was a blatant trampling of the supreme dignity of the entire Burning Heaven Holy Land.

“Seal the void! Capture this scoundrel's Divine Soul! This old man will throw him into the Nine Nether Fire Eye and torture him for a hundred thousand eras, making him wish for life but find only death!”

The red-robed elder in the center, whose face was the most withered and whose eyes were the most malicious.

Let out a shrill roar.

He abruptly raised his withered right hand and slammed it down toward Tianlan Immortal City below.

Buzz.

The domain Laws of the three Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses erupted without reservation at this moment.

The space within millions of miles was instantly and forcibly frozen.

The Loose Cultivators and city guards who were originally fleeing in all directions were all pinned to the ground by this terrifying pressure, unable to move even a finger.

The entire world seemed to have turned into an absolute cage constructed of dark red flames.

And at the very center of the cage.

Was precisely that green-robed youth who was walking forward unhurriedly with his hands clasped behind his back.

Facing this terrifying situation that was enough to make the entire Taihao Immortal Realm tremble.

Zhou Wannian.

Still did not stop his steady and relaxed pace.

He didn't even have the intention of withdrawing his casually placed hands from behind his back.

His faded green robe, under this terrifying sea of fire pressure that could melt Grand Unity Immortal Gold.

Did not have even a single corner scorched.

The translucent glazed dimensional barrier on his body, perfectly and self-consistently constructed by the Great Five Elements Illusory World Art.

Blocked all external Laws, pressure, and high temperatures.

Brutally and unreasonably, it was kept strictly three feet away.

Zhou Wannian slightly raised his chin.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, faintly swept over the three Grand Unity Golden Immortals on the sky who were like enraged lions.

On that handsome and easygoing face, that languid smile not only didn't fade but grew slightly more intense.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were looking at three buffoons who were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws without knowing they were courting death.

He spoke faintly.

Zhou Wannian said with a composed expression, “Striking the young only for the old to come out. This kind of cliché drama seems to never go out of style, no matter which Universe you go to. However, to think that you three old dogs could block my path—you're overestimating yourselves.”

His voice was not loud.

But it ignored any spatial seal laid down by those three Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

It reached the ears of those three red-robed elders with extreme clarity and piercing sharpness.

“Arrogant!”

“Death is at your door, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly. Die for this old man!”

The Dao-Protector on the left, who had the most fiery temper, could no longer endure this condescending contempt.

He let out a heaven-shaking roar.

His hands frantically formed hand seals in front of his chest.

“Heaven-Burning Ultimate Dao: Nine Dragon Heaven-Refining Furnace!”

Rumble.

Along with the Formation of his hand seals.

The dark red sea of fire filling the sky instantly and frantically collapsed toward the center.

In just half a breath's time.

A massive phantom of a Pill Furnace, large enough to envelop half of Tianlan Immortal City, coiled by nine fire dragons and emitting a world-destroying refining power.

Suddenly took shape in mid-air.

This Pill Furnace was one of the Sect-protecting immortal arts of the Burning Heaven Holy Land.

It was said to be capable of refining a Middle Thousand Worlds.

At this moment.

This massive Nine Dragon Heaven-Refining Furnace, carrying the full magic power of three Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses.

Was like a falling primordial volcano, inverted downward toward Zhou Wannian below.

At the mouth of the furnace.

Nine Nether Heaven-Burning Immortal Flame spewed out, enough to instantly turn a Grand Unity Golden Immortal into a puddle of pus.

It sealed off all possible directions for Zhou Wannian to retreat.

Facing this overwhelming killing move that seemed as if it would re-refine the entire world.

Zhou Wannian.

Still stood calmly in place.

He didn't even look at the massive Pill Furnace descending from the sky.

He simply and ordinarily withdrew his hands, which had been clasped behind his back.

His slender, fair index and middle fingers.

Were pressed together like a sword.

Facing that sky-blotting Nine Dragon Heaven-Refining Furnace.

He calmly and gently pointed a single finger upward.

Buzz.

Great Five Elements Illusory World Art.

Those perfectly self-consistent inner universe rules that transcended all dimensions.

At this moment, it erupted with a posture that was pure and overbearing to the extreme.

There was no earth-shaking Spiritual Qi vortex.

Nor were there any violent astral winds tearing through the void.

One hundred and eight clusters of golden time dao patterns, as brilliant as the scorching sun, instantly condensed at Zhou Wannian's fingertips into an ultimate singularity no larger than a mustard seed, yet radiating a five-colored glazed luster.

An incredible scene of despair and crushing power played out shockingly in the sky above this prosperous immortal city.

That aggressive Nine Dragon Heaven-Refining Furnace, claimed to be capable of refining Major Thousand Worlds,

at the ten-thousandth of an instant it made contact with that five-colored singularity,

no deafening energy explosion occurred.

Nor was there any stalemate from the confrontation of Laws.

It was like an extremely fragile bubble abruptly striking an invincible, red-hot steel needle.

"Chi."

An extremely faint yet crystal-clear tearing sound echoed through the Void Realm.

That mustard-seed-sized five-colored singularity

pierced directly through the bottom of that massive Pill Furnace with extreme smoothness.

Immediately after,

the power of Great Perfection Space Collapse detonated completely within the Pill Furnace.

The Great Perfection Time Reversal Law tyrannically stripped away the combustion kinetic energy of those Nine Nether Heaven-Burning Immortal Flame.

The power of Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration, like an invisible dimensional tsunami, cut directly into the underlying Law architecture of this extreme Dao immortal Spell.

Whether it was Nine Nether Immortal Flames or Ancient Dragon Souls,

before the ultimate dismantling of Five Elements Disintegration,

they were all forcibly judged as "invalid energy."

"Crack... Crack..."

A continuous series of crisp cracking sounds exploded frantically in mid-air.

That incomparably massive, world-suppressing Nine Dragon Heaven-Refining Furnace,

starting from the point pierced by the singularity,

exhibited a structural collapse akin to the end of the world.

The indestructible furnace walls disintegrated inch by inch.

The nine coiled fire dragon phantoms let out wails of despair and instantly turned into nothingness.

In less than half a breath's time,

this peerless killing move, which could make even a Creation Immortal King temporarily avoid its edge,

was, under Zhou Wannian's casual finger,

completely erased from the concept of existence.

It turned into countless fine red Spiritual Qi light spots dancing in the sky, dissipating between heaven and earth like a magnificent meteor shower.

"This... how is this possible?"

"He... what Demonic Technique did he use?"

Above the firmament,

the three Dao-Protectors of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, who were originally full of malice and certain of victory,

were now completely stunned.

Their cloudy old eyes were filled with extreme shock, incomprehensible confusion, and an ultimate fear originating from the depths of their Souls.

The Sect-suppressing immortal Spell they had performed together as three Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peaks

had actually been punctured so casually by the opponent's single finger.

No magic power fluctuations, no Dao Artifact empowerment.

This was simply not a cultivation system that should exist in the Taihao Immortal Realm.

This was a dimensional crushing that completely transcended their cognition and made them feel despair.

"Flee! Flee quickly! Return to the Holy Land and ask the Old Ancestor to come out! This fiend cannot be fought!"

The withered old man in the center finally reacted.

His proud Dao Heart completely collapsed at this moment.

He let out a hysterical scream.

Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue and burned a drop of incomparably precious Origin essence blood within his body.

He attempted to perform a blood escape technique to tear through the Void Realm and flee this place of death.

The other two old men also woke up as if from a dream.

They one after another sacrificed their life-saving trump cards, fleeing frantically in three different directions.

At this moment, how could they care about the Young Holy Lord lying on the ground, whose life or death was unknown?

Saving their own old lives was the most important thing.

However,

facing these three old dogs attempting to flee,

the lazy smile on Zhou Wannian's handsome and easygoing face became increasingly cold and sharp.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, carrying an absolute majesty that controlled the life and death of all things, as he calmly declared,

Zhou Wannian said with a composed expression: "Since you've come, why be in such a hurry to leave? The base of my inner universe just happens to be missing a few pieces of top-grade fertilizer at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. Don't let your cultivation go to waste; stay here for me."

He did not give chase.

Nor did he point his sword finger again.

He simply, in an extremely ordinary manner,

raised his right hand,

palm facing down,

towards the three frantically fleeing figures in the sky,

and pressed down plainly.

"Buzz."

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art

at this moment transformed into an invisible and intangible ultimate dimensional net covering the entire sky above Tianlan Immortal City.

The devouring channel of the inner universe rumbled open beneath Zhou Wannian's palm.

An incredible scene of seizing the creation of heaven erupted shockingly.

The three Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak experts, who had already torn halfway into the void cracks and thought they had escaped death,

under Zhou Wannian's press,

suddenly felt a terrifying gravitational force that was completely irresistible and exceeded the limits of the Laws of this Taihao Immortal Realm.

It tyrannically acted upon their Physical Bodies and Primordial Spirits.

"No!"

"What power is this? Let go of me!"

The three old men let out desperate wails that were shrill to the extreme.

They frantically burned their Origin, trying to break free from the shackles of this gravity.

But it was all in vain.

The power of Great Perfection Space Collapse domineeringly squeezed the void around them inward.

The Great Perfection Time Reversal Law ruthlessly reversed the timeline of their escape.

Under the horrified gazes of the countless surrounding Cultivators,

those three high-and-mighty Grand Unity Golden Immortals

were like three ants held tightly by an invisible giant hand,

being dragged back from the void cracks in an extremely pathetic and desperate manner.

Immediately after,

the power of Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration, like an invisible dimensional meat grinder,

cut directly into the depths of their Physical Bodies and Primordial Spirits.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Three extremely muffled explosion sounds rang out one after another in mid-air.

The Grand Unity Immortal bodies, claimed to be indestructible through ten thousand tribulations,

and the undying Primordial Spirits tempered through countless eons,

before the ultimate dismantling of Five Elements Disintegration,

could not even hold out for half a breath.

All physical forms and Soul imprints were completely erased.

They turned into three massive, pure streams of fire Origin energy radiating piercing red light.

This was the entire essence of the lifelong cultivation of three Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak experts.

Zhou Wannian's expression remained as composed as ever.

His downward palm slightly clenched.

"Collect."

Rumble.

Those three clusters of extremely pure fire Origin

transformed into three magnificent red light streams.

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they surged into Zhou Wannian's inner universe without any power to resist.

In the deepest part of the inner universe,

the nine nether earth core lotus erupted with an unprecedented joyful vibration.

These three clusters of Grand Unity Golden Immortal level fire Origin were instantly swallowed and assimilated by the earth core lotus.

They turned into burning stars all over the sky, making the firmament of the inner universe even more dazzling.

The "Fire" Law of the entire inner universe was, at this moment, enriched to an unprecedented degree.

Zhou Wannian's power once again climbed to an even more unfathomable dimension.

He stood where he was,

eyes slightly closed.

His washed-out green robe fluttered gently in the rippling breeze.

His breathing was deep and long.

It was as if what he had just devoured was not three Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but three insignificant sips of clear tea.

After a long while,

Zhou Wannian slowly opened his eyes.

The light in those deep eyes gradually withdrew, returning to that crystal-clear absolute calm.

He casually clapped his hands

and very composedly dusted off his sleeves.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, with a bit of the satisfaction after being full, as he calmly commented: "Though these three old fellows had a bit of a temper, their cultivation was fairly pure. They're barely qualified to add some firewood to my earth core lotus."

He turned his head.

His deep gaze calmly swept over the surrounding streets that had long since fallen into dead silence.

The Cultivators and merchants hiding in the shadows, as well as the Tianlan Immortal City Lord and guards who had rushed over upon hearing the news but were now shivering in the clouds,

all involuntarily shuddered when they met Zhou Wannian's calm-as-water gaze.

That was an ultimate awe and fear originating from the deepest part of their Souls.

One person.

One breath.

One finger.

One palm press.

And he had casually crippled the Young Holy Lord of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, one of the top powers in this Taihao Immortal Realm, and completely obliterated three Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak Dao-Protectors.

He had even swallowed the opponents' Origin completely.

Such methods,

such strength,

even a legendary Creation Immortal King could definitely not do it with such ease and elegance.

This youth in a green robe, who appeared to have no cultivation fluctuations,

just what kind of supreme god of slaughter had walked out of which forbidden land?

Zhou Wannian did not pay attention to those terrified gazes.

Nor did he care about that Young Holy Lord lying on the ground, who had long since fainted from extreme fear.

To him,

these were all just insignificant little interludes during a stroll.

He looked up.

His gaze passed through the destroyed street,

looking at the most exquisitely decorated seven-story grand tower in Tianlan Immortal City, which radiated a rich aroma of wine and immortal tea.

A relaxed smile curled at the corner of Zhou Wannian's mouth.

Zhou Wannian's tone was easygoing, carrying a sense of anticipation for wandering the Mortal World, as he naturally stepped forward.

"Since the trash outside the city has been swept clean, I'll go into the city to rest my feet. I've heard that the spiritual tea and immortal brew of this Taihao Immortal Realm are unique; today, as a stroller, I must have a good taste of them."

He casually placed his hands behind his back,

his green robe elegant.

Stepping over the debris and ashes on the ground,

he walked unhurriedly and composedly toward that prosperous immortal city tower, as if taking a stroll in a courtyard.
