350: Chapter 350 Stepping into the Origin Abyss, the Shepherd of the Realm Treats Them Like Lambs

The Great Primordial Void.

This was once an extra-legal place representing the ultimate end of the Universe in the perception of countless cultivators and even the Creation Immortal King.

But.

When all the veils were torn away layer by layer.

When all the lies and rigid truths were thoroughly crushed.

Zhou Wannian's tall and slender figure in a Green Robe.

Extremely steadily, he crossed that so-called "ultimate boundary."

He arrived at a brand-new Domain that even the concept itself could not define.

This place.

Was named the "Heavenly Abyss of Origin."

As far as the eye could see.

There was no starry sky.

No Chaos.

Nor was there the suffocating pure white of the previous Absolute Truth Realm.

The heaven and earth here presented an extremely profound, extremely ancient "mysterious black" that could not be depicted by any worldly colors.

It was deeper than darkness, yet faintly exuded a vibrant vitality that nurtured all things.

What flowed in the air was not Spiritual Qi.

Nor was it Immortal Qi.

But wisps and strands of extremely viscous "Primal Origin Mother Qi."

This kind of Mother Qi.

Even if just an extremely tiny wisp of it fell into the Taihao Immortal Realm of the Lower Realm.

It would be enough to instantly catalyze the birth of an Innate divine demon!

Zhou Wannian's feet landed extremely steadily within this mysterious black Void Realm.

"Tap."

A very faint, very casual sound of a footstep.

Yet it seemed to drop a dimension-shaking thunderclap into this Heavenly Abyss that had been silent for countless eons.

A light breeze blew past.

His washed-out Green Robe rippled gently.

He did not release any earth-shattering Divine Might.

Nor did he manifest the phantom of the chaos jianmu from his inner universe.

He just very normally placed his hands casually behind his back.

Slightly raising his chin.

His eyes, deep as an ancient well, swirled with one hundred and eight clusters of golden time dao patterns as he calmly surveyed this brand-new world before him.

On that handsome and easygoing face.

An extremely leisurely faint smile emerged, tinged with a bit of anticipation.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, like a relaxed old farmer who had just pushed open the gate to a new courtyard.

He spoke faintly.

"The air has a scent of earth that has just been turned over."

"The density of Spiritual Qi here is indeed much stronger than those lifeless mud pits below."

"Beyond the Great Primordial Void, there really is a well-growing vegetable garden hidden here."

He was in no hurry to move on.

Instead, he stood in place and stretched extremely leisurely.

The Great Five Elements Illusory World Art operated extremely smoothly and perfectly within his body.

In the deepest depths of the inner universe.

The Spirit of Origin, acting as the Heavenly Dao steward.

Was currently sitting within the nine-colored fruit of the chaos jianmu.

Its hands were extremely rapidly manipulating that "Absolute Calculation Origin Core" that had just been swallowed.

"Clack... clack..."

The sound of abacus beads colliding rang out extremely crisply in the void of the inner universe.

On the flawless face of the Spirit of Origin, there was a look of extremely excited focus.

It was using the brain of the ultimate truth engine to frantically analyze the underlying physical constants and dimensional parameters of this "Heavenly Abyss of Origin."

"My Lord!"

The clear thought of the Spirit of Origin rang out in Zhou Wannian's Sea of Consciousness.

"The dimensional level of this world is incredibly high!"

"The Great Primordial Void we were in before, including the hundreds of millions of multiverses like the Taihao Immortal Realm..."

"In the coordinate system of this Heavenly Abyss of Origin, they... they are actually only equivalent to a grain of 'soil' here!"

"This Heavenly Abyss is a supreme dimensional pasture specifically used for 'planting' and 'harvesting' Universes!"

Hearing the report from the Spirit of Origin.

No surprise appeared on Zhou Wannian's handsome face.

He just casually dusted the sleeves of his Green Robe.

The corner of his mouth curled into an extremely relaxed faint smile.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, with a bit of natural composure, as he responded faintly in his Sea of Consciousness.

"I saw it long ago."

"Those messy, broken Universes below are like crooked weeds."

"Penned up by others to fend for themselves, and then harvested periodically."

"This trick of planting Universes like crops, although the scale is slightly larger..."

"It cannot hide the petty nature in the bones of these 'farmers.'"

He looked up.

His deep gaze pierced through the layers of mysterious black Mother Qi.

He looked toward the very depths of this Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

There.

An extremely vast river emitting endless brilliant golden light was flowing extremely slowly in the void.

That was not water.

It was a "Time Mother River" formed by countless "parallel timelines" being forcibly merged together.

The moment Zhou Wannian's gaze fell upon the Time Mother River.

"Rumble—"

The originally calm Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

Suddenly.

Emitted an extremely muffled, terrifying roar that seemed capable of crushing the spine of a Creation Immortal King.

That vast Time Mother River actually began to boil violently!

Immediately after.

Above the surface of the Mother River.

The void was extremely arrogantly torn apart to both sides.

A terrifying giant whale, so massive it could not be measured by any numbers and was composed entirely of countless miniature galaxies.

Extremely violently.

Leapt out from the Time Mother River!

With every breath of this giant whale, it would exhale terrifying tides sufficient to destroy a lower multiverse.

As it swam in the Heavenly Abyss, the surrounding Space Law retreated one after another.

And on the broad back of that Galactic Giant Whale.

Extremely abruptly.

Stood a terrifying figure hundreds of millions of feet tall, completely shrouded in extremely dazzling dark-golden divine light.

This figure.

Wore an ancient divine armor woven from pure "Heavenly Dao Chains."

His face was obscured by an extremely eerie mask.

There were no facial features on that mask.

Only countless illusory human faces that were wailing in extreme pain, being born and extinguished, frantically alternating.

Each face represented a Universe's Heavenly Dao that he had personally harvested and wiped out!

He.

Was the guardian of this Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

The supreme being responsible for managing the countless Great Primordial Voids below—the World-Herding Envoy!

In the eyes of the World-Herding Envoy.

The hundreds of millions of multiverses below.

Be it the Taihao Immortal Realm.

Or the Absolute Truth Realm.

They were all just flocks of sheep he herded in this "pasture."

And all the Creation Immortal Kings and ancient divine demons were merely slightly stronger lambs in the flock.

When the time came and they were fattened up, he would swing the butcher's knife and harvest them ruthlessly, turning them into nourishment for this Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

"Hum—"

The gaze of the World-Herding Envoy, hidden beneath the mask.

Was like two materialized rays of judgment light.

Directly crossing the endless distance of the Heavenly Abyss.

Extremely arrogantly.

Locked onto Zhou Wannian, who stood in the mysterious black void.

Immediately after.

An extremely grand, extremely cold, terrifying Divine Thought that exuded a high-and-mighty attitude, treating all living beings as dust.

Exploded around Zhou Wannian!

"Heresy."

"An unrecorded boundary-crosser."

"You carry the filthy scent of having stolen the Origin source from 'Pasture Zero.'"

"A strong mutant lamb actually dares to tear open the sheepfold and jump out of the pasture."

This Divine Thought was not mixed with any mundane anger.

It was like a high-and-mighty farm owner who, while inspecting his territory, suddenly discovered a wild sheep that had run out of the fence and bitten the guard dog to death.

In his tone, there was only that sense of natural control.

And the absolute indifference of being ready to skin and de-bone it at any time.

Accompanying the transmission of this Divine Thought.

That incredibly massive Galactic Giant Whale.

Violently swung its huge tail fin composed of countless stars.

"Boom!"

Violent time tides whipped up towering waves in the Heavenly Abyss.

The giant whale carried that insufferably arrogant World-Herding Envoy.

At a terrifying speed that surpassed all Space Laws.

Directly crossed dimensions.

Extremely abruptly.

Descended into the void less than ten thousand feet above Zhou Wannian.

A huge shadow instantly completely enveloped Zhou Wannian's tall and slender figure in the Green Robe.

The World-Herding Envoy looked down from above at this Youth in Green Robe, who seemed to have no fluctuations of immortal power and looked like a mundane scholar.

He slowly raised his huge right hand wrapped in Heavenly Dao Chains.

In his hand.

He did not hold any swords.

But instead, extremely eerily.

Held a dark-golden, extremely ancient-styled... giant pair of scissors!

These scissors.

Exuded a terrifying sharp edge that could easily snip through even the Great Primordial Void.

On the two cutting edges of the scissors, the two extremely ancient Origin divine characters for "Cause" and "Effect" were respectively engraved.

This was the ultimate conceptual weapon used by the World-Herding Envoy to harvest Universes and erase variables.

The Origin Judgment Scissors!

As long as one was snipped by these scissors.

What was cut was not the Physical Body.

Nor the Primordial Spirit.

But all possible timelines and karmic connections of this being in the past, present, and future!

With one snip, one's name would be removed from all worlds!

"Kneel."

The voice of the World-Herding Envoy was as heavy as an ancient divine mountain, carrying an irresistible dimensional decree.

"Hand over that deformed Universe nurtured within your body."

"Offer up the Origin source you stole."

"This Envoy can bestow upon you the grace of becoming a grain of fertile soil for this Heavenly Abyss pasture."

On his mask covered with wailing human faces.

All expressions at this moment froze into extreme cruelty and greed.

Although he called Zhou Wannian a mutant lamb.

With his vision comparable to a Creator, he could naturally see what kind of terrifying mass and potential the perfectly self-consistent inner universe within Zhou Wannian's body contained.

As long as he could harvest this perfect Major Thousand World.

His status in the Heavenly Abyss of Origin would surely skyrocket!

Facing such a terrifying certain-death situation that could cause the Dao Heart of a true cross-realm giant to collapse instantly and make them obediently offer their neck for slaughter.

Facing this high-and-mighty World-Herding Envoy holding the Divine Artifact that could snip Karma.

Zhou Wannian, standing under the shadow.

Still stood firmly in place.

He didn't even make a move to retreat half a step.

That washed-out Green Robe didn't even have a single wrinkle under this terrifying Origin pressure.

He just very normally.

Slightly tilted his head up.

Those eyes, deep as an ancient well, looked extremely calmly at the insufferably arrogant giant figure above.

On that handsome and easygoing face.

That extremely leisurely, extremely relaxed smile.

Not only did it not fade.

Instead.

It gradually turned into a kind of extremely cold and wildly mocking arrogance.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were looking at a clown holding a broken pair of scissors.

He spoke faintly.

"Treating me like a sheep in a sheepfold?"

"And you want me to hand over my inner universe to be your fertilizer?"

Zhou Wannian casually dusted the sleeves of his Green Robe.

As if some extremely disgusting dust had settled on them.

His hands, which were hanging down casually.

Slowly, he drew them out from behind his back.

Zhou Wannian's tone carried a supreme dominance that was like a Law unto itself, overriding all Origins.

He declared coldly.

"It seems that you people who call yourselves shepherds have stayed up here in the Heavenly Abyss for too long."

"So long that even your own brains have rusted."

"Since you like pruning branches and leaves so much."

"Today, I shall stand right here."

He slightly opened his arms.

His posture was extremely arrogant and completely defenseless.

"Come."

"Use that broken pair of scissors in your hand."

"Snip right here."

"I'd like to see if that rusty piece of scrap iron of yours can snip through an absolute reality that is perfectly self-consistent and overrides this Universe!"

As the words fell.

The entire Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

Seemed, at this moment, to fall into a deathly silence.

Within the eyes beneath the World-Herding Envoy's mask, a burst of extremely violent disbelief and monstrous rage erupted.

A prey that had run up from the Lower Realm.

Not only did he not kneel and beg for mercy.

He actually dared to so arrogantly provoke him, this supreme World-Herding Envoy!

This was the ultimate trampling of his supreme authority!

"Arrogant ant!"

"Since you wish to die without even a speck remaining, this Envoy shall grant your wish!"

"Origin Judgment: Severing Karma, Extinguishing Result!"

The World-Herding Envoy let out a roar that shattered the galaxy.

He violently swung the incredibly massive, dark-gold Origin Judgment Scissors in his hand.

"Clack!"

Accompanied by an extremely crisp, terrifying sound, as if the main artery of the entire Universe had been snipped.

Those giant scissors.

Closed with extreme ruthlessness in mid-air.

Two crescent-shaped blade lights, dark in color and containing the absolute "concept of erasure."

Crossed into a terrifying crucifix.

Ignoring the distance of space.

Ignoring the flow of time.

Directly locking onto Zhou Wannian's line of fate.

Snipping down fiercely toward his seemingly thin, green-robed figure!

This snip.

Even the viscous Primal Origin Mother Qi around Zhou Wannian was brutally sliced in half.

However.

A scene of unbelievable, despairing crushing power erupted shockingly within this Heavenly Abyss of Origin!

Facing such an ultimate killing move capable of formatting the past and future of a Creation Immortal King.

Zhou Wannian.

Did not retreat.

Did not perform any Spells.

He simply, in an extremely ordinary manner.

Raised his right hand.

His long, fair index and middle fingers.

Were pressed together like a sword.

Facing those two crossing Origin Judgment blade lights snipping down.

Calmly.

And with extreme casualness, he pinched forward!

"Buzz!"

Great Five Elements Illusory World Art.

One hundred and eight clusters of golden time dao patterns.

Great Perfection Space Collapse.

Great Perfection Time Reversal.

Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration.

The perfectly self-consistent inner universe rules instantly collapsed into an indescribable absolute defense singularity between Zhou Wannian's two fingers!

"Ding—"

An extremely crisp impact sound, as pleasant as jade pearls falling onto a plate.

Rang out abruptly in the Void Realm.

That scene.

If seen by the creation giants of the outside world, their Dao Hearts would surely collapse on the spot.

That Origin Judgment blade light, capable of snipping all Karma of a multiverse.

In the ten-thousandth of an instant it was pinched by Zhou Wannian's two fingers.

No world-destroying explosion occurred.

Nor did any deadlocked Law storm arise.

It.

Was like two extremely fragile fallen leaves, pinched between the fingers of an infinitely strong giant with extreme nonchalance!

No matter how frantically the World-Herding Envoy urged the giant scissors.

No matter how brilliant the Divine Might of erasure the dark-gold blade light erupted with.

Those two blade lights could no longer press down even a hair's breadth against Zhou Wannian's fingertips, which shimmered with five-colored glazed light!

"This is impossible!"

The World-Herding Envoy let out a hysterical scream of terror.

Beneath his helmet woven from Heavenly Dao Chains, eye-piercing golden divine blood actually seeped out.

Because.

He felt it.

What the other party had pinched was not his attack.

But a real Universe, even more vast and countless times heavier than the Divine Artifact in his hand!

The other party's two fingers were two insurmountable perfect worlds.

Karma?

The other party simply did not exist within the Karma of this Universe!

How could they be snipped?!

Zhou Wannian floated quietly in mid-air.

Casually pinching that terrifying blade light with two fingers.

On his handsome and easygoing face, that trace of a lazy smile became extremely cold and sharp.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, as if he were critiquing an extremely poorly made defective product.

He spoke indifferently.

"Are these the scissors you shepherds are so proud of?"

"The edges are dull."

"The material is also quite brittle."

"It's even a struggle to cut paper for a child."

His two fingers pinching the blade light.

With extreme casualness.

Gave a slight twist!

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a snapping sound even crisper and more ear-piercing than before!

Those two dark-gold blade lights containing the ultimate concept of erasure.

And even the body of the incredibly massive Origin Judgment Scissors held in the World-Herding Envoy's hand!

Under Zhou Wannian's extremely casual twist.

Instantly!

Showed a structural collapse akin to the end of the world!

The power of Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration, like billions of violent miniature azure dragons.

Swept backward frantically along the broken cracks!

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

Those Divine Artifact scissors, claimed to be indestructible through ten thousand tribulations and having harvested countless Major Thousand Worlds.

In mid-air.

Shattered inch by inch!

Collapsed section by section!

Turning into extremely fine dark-gold dust dancing through the sky.

"Pfft—"

His life-bound Divine Artifact was forcibly pinched apart.

The World-Herding Envoy suffered a terrifying Law backlash.

His massive divine body, hundreds of millions of feet tall, trembled violently in mid-air.

A large mouthful of golden divine blood containing the Heavenly Dao Origin sprayed out.

"You... what kind of monster are you!"

On the World-Herding Envoy's mask covered in human faces, all expressions turned into ultimate terror.

He finally realized.

This time, he hadn't caught a mutated lamb.

But had provoked a peerless god of slaughter capable of overturning the entire Heavenly Abyss of Origin!

"Escape!"

Without any hesitation.

The World-Herding Envoy violently stomped on the back of the Galactic Giant Whale beneath his feet.

Attempting to control the giant whale to dive into the Time Mother River and escape this terrifying variable that made him feel despair.

However.

Zhou Wannian's long, fair right hand still maintained the posture of slightly twisted fingers.

He looked at the massive figure attempting to flee.

A cold smile of extreme disdain curled at the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, carrying a supreme majesty of absolute control.

He coldly declared.

"I said."

"Since your brains are rusted."

"Then I will help you wrench these rusted heads off by force."

In an extremely ordinary manner.

He took that right hand.

Facing the frantically fleeing World-Herding Envoy and Galactic Giant Whale.

Calmly.

And violently yanked backward!

"Buzz!"

Great Five Elements Illusory World Art.

Great Perfection Space Collapse.

Great Perfection Time Reversal.

At this moment, they transformed into an invisible celestial giant hand spanning dimensions.

With extreme arrogance!

With extreme overbearingness!

Directly and firmly grabbing the tail of that incredibly massive Galactic Giant Whale!

"Get back here!"

Boom!

With Zhou Wannian's extremely casual yank.

That giant whale, claimed to be able to traverse the long river of time, let out an extremely shrill wail.

Its incredibly massive body stopped abruptly in mid-air.

Immediately after.

Under the World-Herding Envoy's terrified gaze.

That giant whale, along with the World-Herding Envoy standing on its back.

Were, by that invisible dimensional giant hand, extremely roughly and forcibly.

From the edge of the Time Mother River.

Dragged back in an extremely pathetic state!

"No!"

The World-Herding Envoy let out a roar of despair.

He frantically erupted his internal Heavenly Dao Origin, attempting to break free.

But.

Before the ultimate strangulation of the Great Perfection Five Elements Disintegration power.

All struggle was in vain.

"Bang!"

An extremely muffled explosion.

Under Zhou Wannian's extremely calm gaze.

That incredibly massive Galactic Giant Whale.

That high-and-mighty World-Herding Envoy.

In mid-air.

Were, by that invisible giant hand, extremely cleanly and efficiently crushed to pieces!

Their sturdy bodies, comparable to the Creator's.

Under this ultimate dimensional crushing.

Could not even hold out for half a breath.

Before being completely erased of all physical forms and Soul imprints.

Turning into two extremely large, extremely pure masses of "Heavenly Abyss of Origin Origin" emitting eye-piercing divine light!

This.

Was the top-tier essence nourishment of this high-dimensional pasture.

Zhou Wannian's expression was as composed as ever.

He spread his arms with extreme casualness.

The devouring channel behind him burst wide open.

Like a greedy starry sky beast.

With extreme arrogance.

He swallowed those two massive Origins clean in one breath!

Within his inner universe.

Another extremely violent and hearty evolution arrived.

The branches and leaves of the chaos jianmu grew frantically, piercing directly into the depths of the inner universe's Void Realm.

The one hundred and eight clusters of time dao patterns, after absorbing the Origin of that time giant whale.

The long river of time became wider and more vast, even beginning to faintly evolve into countless parallel timelines under Zhou Wannian's absolute control.

Zhou Wannian floated quietly within the Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

With his eyes slightly closed.

His faded green robe fluttered gently in the rippling energy aftershocks.

His breathing was deep and long.

After a long time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The five-colored divine light in his deep eyes gradually withdrew, restoring that absolute calm as clear as a pool's bottom.

He clapped his hands with extreme casualness.

Dusting off the sleeves of his green robe.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, with a bit of satisfaction after a full meal.

He commented indifferently.

"Though this fish was a bit tough, the soup brewed from it is quite delicious."

"That shepherd's bones were also quite brittle."

"Just right to lay a decent riverbed for my long river of time."

He turned his head slightly.

His deep gaze pierced through the layered Primal Origin Mother Qi.

With extreme calmness.

He looked toward the deepest part of this Heavenly Abyss of Origin.

There.

Due to the fall of this World-Herding Envoy.

A super-magnificent architectural complex, massive enough to encompass countless multiverses and emitting endless ancient majesty.

Was awakening with extreme violence and rage.

There, ancient divine steles towered into the dimensions.

There was the headquarters of all World-Herding Envoys.

And the ultimate ancestral court controlling the fate of these countless Great Primordial Voids—the "Taiwu Ancestral Court"!

Faintly.

Zhou Wannian could feel that in the deepest part of that ancestral court.

There were several supreme auras, extremely ancient and decayed, yet powerful beyond the limits of common sense.

Watching him from across space with extremely incredulous gazes.

They.

Were the true "farmers" of this Heavenly Abyss pasture.

Taiwu Dao Ancestors!

Zhou Wannian looked in that direction.

On his handsome and easygoing face.

A brilliant, excited, and composed smile filled with endless anticipation emerged.

He did not hesitate for a moment.

Hands casually clasped behind his back.

His green robe was neat and poised.

Taking steady and relaxed steps.

Treading on the Void Realm.

Step by step.

Like a leisurely stroll, neither fast nor slow.

Toward that Taiwu Ancestral Court emitting terrifying pressure.

He walked over unhurriedly.

Zhou Wannian's tone was steady, with an extremely natural free-spiritedness, as he whispered to himself.

"Having beaten the watchdog, it's only natural to pay a visit to the master of the courtyard."

"This vegetable garden seems to hide quite a bit of good fertilizer."

"The appetite of my inner universe is getting bigger and bigger."

"I hope the bones of those old geezers hiding in the ancestral court are a bit tougher than that trash just now."
